Hours Tour — турне британского рок-музыканта Дэвида Боуи, включавшее несколько концертных выступлений, а также многочисленные выступления на телевидении в поддержку альбома 'hours…' 1999 года. Гастроли стартовали 9 октября 1999 года концертом в Нью-Йорке, финальное шоу было отыграно в Копенгагене 7 декабря. Во время турне активно записывался концертный материал, ряд песен были выпущены в качестве би-сайдов к синглам. Также было издано несколько альбомов — Something in the Air (Live Paris 99) и The Kit Kat Klub (Live New York 99) — содержащих материал из этого турне.

История
Дэвид Боуи выпустил свой альбом 'hours…' в октябре 1999 года, приступив к его раскруте при помощи небольших, в основном рекламных выступлений. 23 августа он поучаствовал в записи передачи , материал которой в 2009 году был выпущен в виде одноимённого альбома. Это выступление стало последний коллаборацией Боуи и Ривза Гэбрелса (музыканты активно сотрудничали на протяжении 1990-х), на остальных шоу его заменил гитарист , один из основателей альтернативной рок-группы Helmet. Слухи о прекращении сотрудничества изначально отрицались обеими музыкантами, тем не менее, несколько месяцев спустя гитарист Гэбрелса потвердел информацию.

В октябре Боуи появился на шоу «Субботним вечером в прямом эфире» (в рамках ), где исполнил песни «Thursday's Child» и «Rebel Rebel».

Выступление музыканта в Libro Music Hall (Вена), состоявшееся 17 октября 1999 года, совпало с запуском BowieNet Europe. В качестве подарка подписчикам, оно транслировалось сервисом в прямом эфире.

Something in the Air (Live Paris 99)

Концерт в Париже (14 октября 1999) был снят и записано на аудио. Три песни с этого выступления были выпущены на сингле «Survive»; полная версия концерта была выпущена в 2020 году (на стриминговых платформах) под названием Something in the Air (Live Paris 99). Концерт примечателен тем, что был записан через день после того, как Боуи получил звание кавалера Ордена искусств и литературы от правительства Франции, за личный вклад в искусство и музыку. В 2021 году альбом был издан на физических носителях (компакт-диске и виниле) в рамках концертной серии Brilliant Live Adventures.

David Bowie at the Kit Kat Klub (Live New York 99)

В ноябре 1999 года Дэвид Боуи отыграл концерт в небольшом нью-йоркском клубе Kit Kat для членов фан-клуба и победителей конкурса. Шоу было снято как часть серии American Express Blue Concert и транслировалось по телевидению 7 декабря 1999 года, в дополнение к одновременной радиотрансляции по сети SFX Radio. В тот же период урезанная до 9 песен (вместо 12-ти) версия концерта была выпущена в качестве промо-альбома. Веб-трансляция, которая, как сообщается, была одной из первых прямых концертных трансляций, была сопряжена с проблемами и получилась «не особо гладкой». Материал для полноценного альбома, выпущенного 2 апреля 2021 года, был взят из вышеупомянутого промо-диска (выпущенного в конце 1999/ начале 2000 года). David Bowie at the Kit Kat Klub (Live New York 99) отметился на 20-м месте в Великобритании и 93-м в Ирландии.

Figuring Out Chords at the Shindig on the Green
Articles, Music Instruction Articles, Wayne Erbsen
By Wayne Erbsen
Shindig. To people in western North Carolina where I live, "Shindig" is short for Shindig on the Green, which is an outdoor bluegrass music festival held on the courthouse steps in Asheville, North Carolina. The Shindig is a unique summer festival, drawing regional bluegrass and old-time musicians who just want to get together to pick and socialize and strut their musical stuff on stage. For the musicians, it's not a paid gig, just a big music party with a large audience. Only the house band, The Stoney Creek Boys, get paid.
On Labor Day, I attended the last Shindig of the season with my band of twelve students, which we call The Log Cabin Band. After our part of the show was over, I noticed ex-Bluegrass Boy Ralph Lewis sitting behind the stage, so I sat and chatted with Ralph about his days as a member of Bill Monroe's band in the 1970s. When Ralph became distracted and began talking with one his fans, I drifted off and started hanging out with several local fiddlers. We soon struck up the tune North Carolina Breakdown, which was composed by Fiddlin' Arthur Smith.
Before we launched into the next tune, I noticed a woman standing expectantly next to us with her guitar in its case, so I told her to break it out and play with us. She hurriedly got out her guitar, and then I spotted trouble. She began nervously thumbing through her notebook, desperately looking for the chords to the tune were about to play, Whiskey Before Breakfast. I think she found them, but by then we were playing the tune hell-bent-for-leather, and she couldn't turn the pages fast enough to keep up. Balancing her notebook on her guitar while trying to follow the many chord changes wasn't working.
The other two fiddlers soon disbursed into the crowd, and I was left standing there with the guitarist. Since she knew I was a teacher, she asked me for advice on following fiddle tunes on the guitar. Here's what I told her.
Backing up fiddle tunes is always a fun, yet challenging thing to do. Like California, western North Carolina is a musically diverse place, so the fiddlers you're likely to find often play any number of styles and play an almost infinite number of tunes. The thought of carrying around a notebook with chord changes to all the possible tunes you might be called on to accompany would be a daunting task, at best.
Instead of the notebook approach, it's best to just figure out what chords go where. In any jam session situation, you'll need to know the key the next tune or song will be in. The problem is that if you ask the key before each and every tune, you'll become highly annoying and people will want to run you out of town on a rail! Instead of always asking the key of each tune, lay back, observe, and the key will usually "reveal" itself. If you're a closet picker who is venturing out to one of your first jams, you can only hope that there's another experienced guitar player to follow. Sit where you can see their chording hand, and when they put a capo on their instrument, you do the same. Watch them like a hawk, and play the chords they do.
When learning to accompany fiddle tunes, it's important to be able to recognize the form or structure of a particular fiddle tune. The most common old-time fiddle tunes have two parts, and each part is repeated before going on to the next part. Some tunes, like Pike County Breakdown, only have one part, so you're in luck there. A few of the older fiddle tunes might have three, four, or even five parts, but those are rare, so don't freak out (yet) about that because you may never run into those kinds of tunes.
Bluegrass songs have a structure all their own, distinct from fiddle tunes. The most common bluegrass song is built on a verse/chorus pattern. Bluegrass songs will start with a solo or break, where the instrumentalist will normally play the verse. Then the lead singer will sing the verse followed by the chorus. Your biggest unknown will be whether the chorus has the same chord progression as the verse, or whether it will have a set of chords all its own.
When you're trying to figure out the chords to a song or tune, the melody will be your guide to unravel the mystery of the chord progression. The melody normally harmonizes and sounds good with certain chords. When the chord you're on clashes with the melody, that means you're on the wrong chord. Quickly switch to another one that you think will harmonize with the melody.
TIP #1: It's usually wise to stay on a chord until it's painfully obvious you're on the wrong chord. Since most bluegrass songs only have three chords (eg. G, C, and D), you have a 50/50 chance of landing on the right chord just by the luck of the draw.
TIP #2: The melody of most bluegrass songs contain a fair amount of repetition. For example, in many songs the melody of the first and third lines are identical. Thus you don't have to continually reinvent the wheel. Just fall back on what chords you already figured out.
With practice and experience and more than a little determination, you'll get a handle on playing chords behind bluegrass and old-time tunes. Have fun and good luck.
Wayne Erbsen is a native Californian who has made his home in western North Carolina since 1972. A musician and teacher, Wayne has written and published over thirty bluegrass music instruction books and songbooks for banjo, mandolin, fiddle, and guitar, as well as historical and folklore books and songbooks.

Real Estate Report Ranks Marin as No. 1 - Called best place to live; leaders seek improvements
By: Janis Mara
Marin leaders rejoiced at the news that the county was judged California's best to live in, while remaining mindful that there is still room for improvement.
Movoto, a real estate website, Friday released a report naming Marin No. 1 based on its high median household income, median home price and median rent, low unemployment and second-lowest number of families below the poverty line. With San Mateo second and Santa Clara third, it was something of a Bay Area sweep.
"It is no surprise that Marin is the most desirable place to live," Supervisor Judy Arnold said in an email. "It has so much going for it: open space, ranch land, good schools and healthy foods."
However, she added, "As supervisors, we also deal with the not-so-desirable aspects of living in such beauty: high rent, lack of housing, traffic congestion and health problems. It is important to celebrate the good things of our county while realizing the problems that are not celebrated and try to make Marin even better for everyone."
Rob Eyler, head of the Marin Economic Forum, offered a note of analysis in his response.
"I think it shows that Marin is not only attractive, but also a by-product of its location. There is likely wealth migrating in from San Francisco and the greater Bay Area looking for a more suburban existence," Eyler said.
"This is where Marin's housing market is very much related to the greater Bay Area as the most desirable place (weather, proximity to SF, amenities, schools) in a very desirable regional globally," Eyler said. In a somewhat similar vein, Blaine Morris, the head of the Marin Association of Realtors, said, "We have all the amenities of big city living available within a half hour but when we come back to Marin we could be in any small town in America. You can earn a big city living while having a semi-rural life here. "When my wife and I lived in Los Angeles 20 years ago, we were always trying to figure out where to go to get out of Los Angeles for the weekend. We finally decided to move somewhere we would like to spend the weekend," Morris said. Even when he got a job at Oracle in Silicon Valley, Morris refused to move out of the county, he said. In addition to the county's economic indicators, the blog mentioned several other factors. "Marin County loved education, with establishments like the College of Marin and Dominican University of California." The good words were apparently appreciated. "As the community's college, we are honored to be cited as one of the reasons that Marin is the Number One county in the state to live in," David Wain Coon, superintendent/president of the College of Marin, said in an email. "College of Marin is committed to providing all residents of Marin County outstanding educational opportunities." As for Dominican, "As a relatively new resident of Marin, I can attest that this is a great place to live, and education is central to Marin's high quality of life," said the university's president, Mary Marcy. "When we invest in new facilities and programs, we consider how our investments will impact both our students and our greater community," Marcy said, noting that the university is opening a health sciences facility next year and its business school "is forming global partnerships that will result in new opportunities for students and local businesses." The report also mentioned the Marin County Free Library. "I'm not surprised. It really is a great library system with tremendous community support and a very literate community that loves its libraries and uses them," said Sara Jones, director of county library services. Dr. Matt Willis, Marin County's Public Health Officer, offered a nuanced view. "This is an interesting set of indicators, because it really is almost directly related to affluence," Willis said. "You really could call this the wealthiest counties ranking. "So what's seen as a strength here might be seen as a liability by someone with a low or middle income. For our middle-income community — our police, our teachers — when they can't afford to live here, and yet they make up the fabric of our community, this is potentially a vulnerability for us and an important piece here," Willis said. Willis referred to Marin's March ranking as the healthiest county in California by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "It's because we have opportunities for recreation, 600-something miles for trails, small farms and produce. Healthy eating and active behavior are normal to Marin." On the other side of the equation of the Movoto blog, Willis said, "is the experience of people of limited means" who may be working two jobs and too busy to work out. "What I would love to see is a ranking that reflects a balanced community and a community that allows for diversity, culturally, ethnically and economically," Willis said. "These rankings don't reflect the fact that we lack that diversity." Source: http://www.marinij.com/marinnews/ci_26483677/marin-deemed-califorias-best-county-live


Spinal angiolipomas are benign tumors predominantly found in the epidural space. Infiltrating spinal angiolipoma is an extremely rare type, which tends to invade the surrounding tissue and may mimic an aggressive tumor. Herein, we reported the case of a 64-year-old woman with a thoracic angiolipoma involving the T9 vertebral body and its appendix. The lesion showed long T1 and T2 signal intensity on MRI and slightly increased FDG uptake on PET/CT. After surgery, the pathologic examination demonstrated features consistent with angiolipoma, and the patient was free of symptoms.

Q: Seeking spatial statistics software for GIS? I am searching for spatial statistics software which has many powerful features and supports a GIS interface.
Can anyone give me some advice?

A: See also GRASS and R integration:
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/R_statistics
For example boxplots:

... or decision trees (rpart example):

A: ArcGIS has Spatial Statistics Toolbox for statistical information. it analyze spatial distributions, patterns, processes, and relationships.

Spatial statistics allow you to:
Summarize the key characteristics of a distribution.
Identify statistically significant spatial clusters (hot spots/cold spots)
and spatial outliers.
Assess overall patterns of clustering or dispersion.
Model spatial relationships.

you can get information here.

A: A new software that is now also available is insensa GIS at www.insensa.org, "free and open source software for statistical computing and display of GIS data." You can also e.g. calculate correlations, view scatterplots ... In case the function you want to use is not available, you may also write your own plugin.

A: There are few interesting packages from the Spatial Data Mining and Visual Analytics Lab, especially:

*

*EntroMap: Detecting Spatially Varying Multivariate Relationships

*VIS-STAMP: A Visualization System for Space-Time and Multivariate Patterns

*SOMVIS: Multivariate Mapping and Visualization

S4 research group also has few useful tools, especially:

*

*GéoGrapheur: Exploratory Data Analysis Module

*Map Comparison Kit

*Darcy 2.0

CrimeStat is also worth having a look. Although focused on crime analysis, the functionality can be adapted to other purposes.

SANET is an ArcGIS toolset for analysis based on networks.

GeoSOM is a package for creating spatial Self-Organizing Maps.

Although lacking any mapping capabilities SaTScan is an essential tool for exploration of spatial and spatio-temporal clusters. Fast Spatial Scan from The Auton Lab can cope with larger datasets.

A:
This question has been converted to Community Wiki and wiki locked

The guy I mentioned in my previous post has published his side of the story in RFE/RL:
AN INSIDER LOOKS AT MOLDOVA'S PASAT CASE
By E. Wayne Merry
On 27 June, the trial of former Moldovan Defense Minister Valeriu Pasat in connection with the sale by his government in 1997 of 21 MiG-29 jet fighters to the United States got under way. The ostensible offense for which Pasat, who served as defense minister from 1997-99, is in the dock is that he defrauded the Moldovan state of $54 million by selling the planes to Washington for a mere $40 million.
The arrest and trial are widely viewed as politically motivated, due to Pasat's association with a previous Moldovan administration and his current connection with Russia's Unified Energy Systems (EES), for which he works as a consultant. The image of a political trial is reinforced by the fact it is being held behind closed doors at the request of the prosecution, purportedly for national security reasons.
Whatever else Pasat may have on to account for, the MiG sale was a good financial deal for Moldova. I oversaw the purchase as Regional Director for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia in the office of the U.S. Defense Secretary. I conducted the initial negotiations with Pasat, although I left the Pentagon for a Congressional staff assignment a few weeks before the final purchase.
This acquisition involved confidential matters that I am not at liberty to discuss, but the intention of the U.S. government was to remove the planes from any potential illicit sales on the international arms market and to assist Moldova during a period of extreme economic hardship. The Pentagon saw the transaction as, in part, a type of assistance to Moldova. The amount the United States was willing to pay for the aircraft and associated equipment seemed generous to U.S. officials involved.
The Moldovan side, including Pasat, did not understand the concept of "fair market value," to put it mildly. Officials in Chisinau felt the planes must be worth at least what they had cost the Soviet Union to build, rather than what anyone with real money was currently willing to pay for them. They wanted much more that $40 million, and it took months for them to recognize the limitations of the market.
The aircraft in question had been left in Moldova by the Soviet collapse. Although local mechanics kept the planes in good repair, they were of no practical use to the Moldovan state, which could not even afford fuel for training. The planes had no viable military purpose, as Moldova barely has enough airspace for high-performance fighters to turn around in the sky.
There were no other legitimate buyers for the aircraft, my research at the time revealed. Several other governments operated MiG-29s, but none wanted to add to their inventories; indeed, most were shifting to NATO-standard aircraft. The Moldovan planes lacked a source of spare parts and support/repair systems, making them of little value for a new customer. Russia, the producer of the MiG-29, made clear to potential customers that it would supply parts only for planes purchased from it or with its concurrence. Russia would not encourage the competitive sale of MiGs from sources like Moldova, which might cut into its own export market.
The only other potential customers for the Moldovan planes were the so-called "rogue states." Washington felt it had legitimate concerns about the leakage of Soviet-made weaponry of all types from the arsenals of post-Soviet and former Warsaw Pact states to rogue governments. For Moldova, such an option would have been a disaster because the United States would have terminated its bilateral assistance programs if the MiGs fell into rogue-state hands as required by U.S. law. I have no doubt Washington would also have used its influence in international financial institutions to punish Moldova severely as an object lesson to other countries to discourage this kind of commerce.
The Moldovan government in 1997 was informed of these realities and came, although slowly, to understand the United States was its only serious potential customer, that the offer was a fair one, and that the United States would pay real money immediately in contrast to the vague promises so common in the global arms trade. After several months of negotiations and high-level interventions from the U.S. side, the deal was done. It was a good deal for Moldova.
The sale was a disappointment to many in Chisinau who imagined the aging aircraft to be a goldmine of astronomical worth. In fact, $40 million was more than many people in Washington wanted to pay. I remember having a hard time finding so much money for a country of less-than-primary importance to the United States. The Pentagon proceeded as part of its policy to develop cooperative defense relationships with all the former Warsaw Pact and Soviet states.
I do not know how the $40 million was used. The payment was a simple inter-state financial transfer with no cash or funny business involved. The money went to the Moldovan Finance Ministry.
Anyone with experience of Moldova knows how far short it falls in comparison to Western standards of business practices. Corruption and malfeasance have been rife there throughout its years of independence. However, the sale of 21 aircraft for $40 million was an entirely legitimate transaction. The thinly veiled accusation behind the Pasat trial that the United States in some way defrauded or swindled Moldova in this matter is false.

South Carolina Direct Financial Incentives 2012
W. Lee Flowers and Company, a wholesale grocery company that supplies IGA retail stores and independent supermarkets across South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia, plans to invest $6.5 million to expand its operations center in Florence County, Scranton, South Carolina.
W. Lee Flowers is expanding with a 75,000-square-foot addition to its warehouse operation located at 127 East W. Lee Flowers Road in Scranton, a city of about 940 residents south of Florence. The first phase of the expansion is expected to be completed in 2013.
"We are pleased to move forward with plans to expand our Florence County operations. This expansion will help us meet increased demand from our customers.

Born in Turkey in 1908, Sedat Hakki Eldem studied in the West before he returned to Istanbul to study at the Academy of Fine Arts. In 1932 he became an assistant professor at the Academy. In this capacity he acted as a major catalyst in the development of Turkish architecture.
In the early 1930s, Eldem rejected the Beaux-Arts tradition and gave his support to early functionalism. He developed a style partially based on the nationalistic atmosphere of the new post-war Turkish Republic. During the 1940s, Eldem shifted his focus to the vernacular architecture of the late Ottoman period in both his teaching and professional life.
Borrowing from the plans of old Turkish houses, Eldem designed a series of houses in Istanbul using modern materials and a functionalist geometry. After 1950 Eldem integrated a functionalist vocabulary with elements of a traditional Turkish vernacular, but structural expression remained a priority.
For Eldem, creation of a modern national style remained a supreme goal which led him to emphasize form rather than function in his design. He has always remained a sensitive designer of facades and details.
Since his retirement in 1978, Eldem has published materials on traditional Turkish domestic architecture.

Social Security Complex
Recipient of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 1986.
In the 1960s when this complex was designed and in construction, Turkish architects were engaged in a reassessment of the tenets of the Modern Movement, leading them to seek a "new regionalism" in architectural expression, as an answer to the dominance of the International Style. This office complex reconciles both theoretical positions. It is as disciplined and rational as the modernist canon requires, yet without compromising its modernity, it responds to its regional context, respecting the historic landmarks nearby, and remains sensitive to its site, which is a steeply sloping plot at the corner of a major intersection. At the time of its design the architect would have been expected to assemble the space into a high-rise slab that dominated its setting. This low, cascading structure links a dense old quarter of wooden houses at the top of the hill with contemporary buildings along a modern boulevard below. The jury believes this building to be "one of the earliest and most refined examples of contextual architecture in the international Modern Movement."

Q: Calculating the sum of your name given every letter a number I'm trying to solve this program which aims to ask the user to enter his name while given every letter of the alphabet a number e.i(a=1,b=2...) then calculate the sum of the name (Using arrays and strings)
This is the code I've tried Can someone help me with it. Thanks
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void){
int letters [] = {'A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z'};
int sum, i, j, count=0;
char numbers [] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26};
char name [50];
char ch;
printf("Enter a name --> ");
for(i=0;i<50;i++){
scanf("%c", name [i]);
++count;
}
for(j=0;j<=count;j++){
    for(i=0;i<26;i++){
        if(name [j] == letters [i])
        sum += numbers[i];
    }
}
printf("Your name is: ");
for(i=0;i<=count;i++)
printf("%c", name[i]);
printf("\n");
printf("The sum of your name is: %d\n", sum);
return (0);
}

A: Why not simply use the fact that 'A', 'B', etc will be converted to sequential int values so you can map 'A' to 1, 'B' to 2, etc with something like this (use toupper to map a to A, etc):
char name [50];
int i, sum = 0;
scanf("%s", name);
for (i=0; i < strlen(name); ++i)
    sum += toupper(name[i]) - 'A' + 1;

Mevagissey councillor says affordable housing should be more accessible for first-time buyers despite second home ban
'Many youngsters, myself included, have been priced out of the communities where we grow up"
Cllr James Mustoe
Despite plans to block second homes in Mevagissey it has been claimed that more could be done to ensure affordable housing is accessible for first-time buyers.
The tourist hotspot near St Austell has seen a boom in the number of houses being purchased as holiday homes over recent years in what one local councillor described as an "onslaught of second-home owners".
Residents involved in creating the Mevagissey Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) are fighting for a change and second home buyers could now be blocked from purchasing properties, in an effort to "restore the balance to the playing field for local people".
It follows a rule brought in last year at St Ives which bans new-builds being sold as second homes.
The plan, which has been submitted to Cornwall Council and due to shortly be returned to residents for a referendum which could see it adopted as official policy, proposes to ban any further second homes from being built.
Cornwall councillor for Mevagissey James Mustoe said that first time buyers "have been priced out of the communities where they grow up" due to earning a salary about 20 times less than the average house price.
Despite the proposed changes, Cllr Mustoe claimed there is more that can be done to make it easier for first-time buyers.
He said: "It is clear that first time buyers in the Mevagissey area do struggle to get on the housing ladder and purchase their first home.
"I have been pleased to work with the Mevagissey Neighbourhood Development Plan steering group and local parish council to ensure that current and future suitable applications when they do come forward contain as many affordable units as possible where this is practical."
He continued: "There is more that can be done, I think, to actually address whether affordable houses are actually genuinely affordable, compared to what people earn, whether this is by pushing for changes at a national level or by encouraging developers to cross-subsidise applications to have fewer affordable properties that are cheaper than if there were more of them, but this is clearly also an issue for so many people in Mevagissey and the surrounding area."
Cllr Mustoe previously admitted that he had been priced out of buying property in Mevagissey.
He added: "This is not about penalising second home owners, who contribute a great deal to our economy, but about restoring the balance to the playing field for local people. At least a quarter of the houses in Mevagissey are second homes.
"The average house price is £299,587, which is about 20 times the typical local salary of £15,458. Many youngsters, myself included, have been priced out of the communities where we grew up."
Money bank
The neighbourhood plan states: "The permanent population of Mevagissey has fallen slightly over the last 200 years, but since 1930, the buildings in the village have more than doubled.
"26% of the homes in Mevagissey are holiday homes and another 12% are listed buildings. These statistics are mutually dependent, since heritage features are popular with holiday home owners.
"As a consequence, local house prices are beyond the reach of many local people and the parish council has built a number of affordable homes over the last decade to tackle this problem."
It said there was a concern that "uncontrolled or unsympathetic development" could compromise the assets of the parish, its character, coast and countryside.
"Due to the impact upon the local housing market of the continued uncontrolled growth of dwellings used for holiday accommodation as second or holiday homes, new open market housing will only be supported where there is a restriction to ensure its occupancy as a principal residence," it added.
Steve Double MP
MP for St Austell and Newquay, Steve Double, said: "It is clear the young people from places like Mevagissey and around Cornwall as a whole, often struggle to be able to buy their first home.
"I was delighted to see the Prime Minister announce that the Government will find an extra £10bn for the Help to Buy scheme to let another 135,000 people get on the property ladder.
"This goes with earlier measures brought on by this Government, including the 3% stamp duty levy on second homes that gives £5m to Cornwall to Community Land Trusts for local needs housing.
"Help to Buy helps buyers get a mortgage with a deposit of as little as 5% to buy newly built homes and is great to assist young people in buying their first home.
"As well as schemes such as this, locally, in places like Mevagissey it is very important to have plan led development, and I am pleased to see the recent progression of the Mevagissey Neighbourhood Development Plan by local residents as well as the excellent work of the parish council and Cornwall Council Ward Member who have all worked together to write a document that will ensure that when affordable housing is built in the village, it will be appropriately sited."

MEETING OF THE LORD
That day the Church commemorates an important event in the earthly life of our Lord Jesus Christ. Forty days after His birth, the God-Infant was taken to the Jerusalem Temple, the center of the nation's religious life. According to the Law of Moses, a woman who gave birth to a male child was forbidden to enter the Temple of God for forty days. At the end of this time the mother came to the Temple with the child, to offer a young lamb or pigeon to the Lord as a purification sacrifice. The Most Holy Virgin, the Mother of God, had no need of purification, since she had given birth to the Source of purity and sanctity without defilement. However, she humbly fulfilled the requirements of the Law.
At this time the righteous Elder Symeon (feastday on February 3rd) was living in Jerusalem. It had been revealed to him that he would not die until he should behold the promised Messiah. By inspiration from above, St. Symeon went to the Temple at the very moment when the Most Holy Theotokos and St. Joseph had brought the Infant Jesus to fulfill the Law.
The God-Receiver Symeon took the divine Child in his arms, and giving thanks to God, he spoke the words repeated by the Church each evening at Vespers: "Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy word, for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people, a light to enlighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel". Righteous Symeon said to the Most Holy Virgin: "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be spoken against. Yea, a sword shall pierce through your own soul also, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed".
The Feast of the Meeting of the Lord is among the most ancient feasts of the Christian Church. Despite its early origin, this Feast was not celebrated so splendidly until the sixth century.

Alan Hranitelj, Slovenian costume designer, was born on 3 March, 1968 in Zagreb. He attended the Fine Arts School. From the mid-1980s, he has lived and worked in Slovenia. After the collaboration in the performance Baptism in 1986, he continued his career in Ljubljana. His creative endeavors are divided between theatre, opera and film costume design and make-up art, until 1992 he also worked as a fashion designer. He co-operates with diverse Slovenian and foreign theatres and the most visible Slovenian theatre, film and video directors (Mateja Koležnik, Valentina Turcu, Vinko Möderndrofer, Vito Taufer, Meta Hočevar, Eduard Miler, Diego de Brea, Matjaž Berger, Janez Burger, Matjaž Zupančič, Miran Zupančič, etc.).

Among other things, he designed uniforms for 11 business companies, and he even designed costumes for the acrobat theatre group Cirque de Soleil. His works are part of 4 permanent art collections in Slovenia (Slovenian National Museum, Slovenian Ethnographic Museum, Museum of Modern Art Ljubljana and the Maribor Regional Museum).
For his creations, he has been awarded with 26 merits in Slovenia as well as abroad.
His unique visual aesthetics in very much recognizable designs are often upgraded also by his own manual work. Alan Hranitelj has presented his work through numerous independent and group exhibitions in Slovenia and internationally. Among the most renowned are the exhibition in the Ljubljana Museum of Modern Art Gallery in 1991, in the Equrna Gallery in 1993 (Bag & 12 Hats) and in the City Gallery in 1995 (Costume Design 1991–1995). In 2006, he prepared a display of his best works at the International Graphic and Fine Arts Centre Ljubljana to introduce his comprehensive monograph entitled Costumography: 1986 - 2006. In 2009, parallel to his renowned exhibition Jesen – Zima (Autumn – Winter) 2009 at the Ljubljana-based National Museum, his second monograph was published. As for his international success, his presentation and exhibition in Köbenhaven, European Capital of Culture 1996, were among the most visible, along with the exhibition in the Cultural Centre Nansen Aranjo in the Brazilian city Belo Horizonte in 1997, as well as the presentation of his opus in 2000 at the Millenium Dome in London.
In the summer of 2007, Alan Hranitelj was invited to collaborate with the spectacular Canadian theatre Cirque du Soleil. For them, he prepared costumes for the show ZARKANA, which premiered in June 2011 at the Radio City Music Hall in New York. From November 2012 to 30 April 2016, the show was playing without interruption at the Aria Resort in Las Vegas, USA.


I am making slow progress. My next step is the neck and tail blocks for the sides. I wondered if anyone could give me the dimensions for the blocks that they use and for the dovetail. The only reason I ask is that I am worried about leaving the neck block to weak. For example I thought about the block being 50mm wide and 40mm deep and the dovetail depth being 25mm. That would then leave only 15mm depth left in he neck block. Is that to weak. My scale length is 17 inches and I am making a tenor ukulele.
My second question is the side taper.
Currently my sides are 80mm and I am trying to figure out the taper to put on them. I was thinking 80 at the tail, 75 in the middle and finally 70 at the neck. Does that sound about right? Lastly does that middle dip come in the middle of the entire length of the side or at the waist. I hope that all makes sense.


Below is the link to the final exam. Before you begin, please read the following rules and expectations.
1. Notes from class and online research are allowed and encouraged. Other than the due date/time (see below), there is no specific time limit for taking this exam.
2. You may take this exam individually or in a group with up to five people. Exams with more than five people will be disqualified; those students will then be required to come take an exam in person during the make up exam time.
3. If working in a group, all group members must be present when taking and submitting the exam. One person in the group will be required to login to their school google account before being able to submit any answers.
4. Groups must discuss their answers before submitting. This exam may be submitted only once per group.
You may choose from the list of five projects below. Your project may be completed as a group or individually. Please note the due dates at the bottom of the page.
There are many ways to go about doing this project, but one of the easiest methods is called a "ghost song." You take a pre-existing song, figure out the rhyme scheme, then write your own lyrics to fit that rhyme scheme. After the new lyrics are finished, then rewrite the melody and chord progression. The result is a completely new song. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you use this method or would like to try a different method. The final version of this project would have at least one singer, at least one instrumentalist, and would be performed live for the class or recorded ahead of time. Song should be between 1 and 5 minutes long.
Take a song of your choice and arrange it for a choral group (SSA, SATB, or SAB). Voice part ranges, harmony, melody, and rhythm must all be taken into consideration. The final version of this song must be written out in standard notation, preferably with music notation software. Try using Noteflight, which is a free online resource.
The science behind music is broad and interesting. This project could range between the physics of sound to the anatomy of the human voice. Feel free to be creative with this project, however the final topic/project idea must be approved.
Make your own instructional video on how to do something musical. This video will showcase your understanding of a specific skill, concept, or topic. Your goal in this project is to teach someone how to do something. Below are some suggested ideas, but feel free to come up with your own. Final topic/project ideas must be approved.
How To: Read Key Signatures; Read Treble/Bass Clef; Use Solfege; Count Rhythms; etc.
Create your own musical instrument that can play (at least) a simple melody like Mary Had A Little Lamb. Be creative! The final version of this project would be an in-class demonstration or a video recording.
Please fill out and submit the Concert Self Reflection Form.


The suit at the Federal High Court last came up on 16th May 2018 whereupon our lawyers informed the Judge of a pending application for status quo to further restrain the rebellious acts of the artiste in view of the recent release of previously unreleased songs from the Evolution album, as well as the continued use of the name Kiss Daniel without our approval. The Judge emphatically told the Kiss' lawyers to explore a settlement of the dispute as he does not believe the matter is one which should go to trial and that the lawyers should report on any settlement at the next adjourned date, 26th June 2018.
We are unaware at the time of this release that the lawyers to Kiss have submitted any proposal with terms of settlement to our legal team.
It also interesting to inform the public that the Court was informed about the artiste's release of the new song titled 4 Dayz, and For you a collaborated with WizKid , which are songs from the Evolution album, the ownership of which forms the subject matter of the suit at Federal High Court.
We are also aware that the artiste has released the video of 4 Days, done a collaboration with Seyi Shay titled Surrender, and another song Me ke with Omawunmi by changing his name from ''Kiss Daniel'' to ''Kizz Daniel''. Let the whole world also take note that G-Worldwide is also the owner of the name ''Kizz Daniel'' (see acceptance and acknowledgement documents from the Ministry of Trade & Investment).

Q: Is there any way to pass Output of one workflow to another without using outarguments? I have recently started working with Workflows.I am able to pass output of one activity as input to another through making use of OutArgument .Is it possible without using OutArgument.
If Possible please suggest me how?
Thanks all

A: You can use a workflow extension to act as a repository of variables in the scope of the whole workflow.
Create a workflow extension that contains properties.
Add the extension to the workflow application.
Set or Get the value of the properties from within Activities.
See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff460215(v=vs.110).aspx
In response to your comment below.
You are wrong in your assumption.  The extension "holds" the output from activity 1 which is then available to activity 2.
For example:
Create a class to hold properties:
public class PropertyStoreExtension
{
    int _myProperty
    public int MyProperty
    {
        get
        {
            return this._myProperty;
        }
        set
        {
            this._myProperty = value;
        }
   }
}

Add this as an extension to your workflow:
PropertyStoreExtension propertyStoreExtension = new PropertyStoreExtension
WorkflowInvoker myWorkflowInstence = new
WorkflowInvoker(myWorkflowDefinition());
myWorkflowInstence.Extensions.Add(propertyStoreExtension);
myWorkflowInstence.Invoke()

Your workflow contains 2 activities:
The first takes its "output" and stores it in the extension.
public class Activity1_SetProperty: CodeActivity
{
   protected override void Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
   {
       PropertyStoreExtension pse =context.GetExtension<PropertyStoreExtension>();

       if (pse != null)
       {
          pse.MyProperty=outputValue;
       }

   }
}

The second gets the value out of the extension.
public class Activity2_GetProperty: CodeActivity
{
   protected override void Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
   {
       PropertyStoreExtension pse =context.GetExtension<PropertyStoreExtension>();

       if (pse != null)
       {
          int intputValue; = pse.MyProperty
       }

   }
}

MEET LEA FULTON, A TTU GRAD STUDENT WITH A PASSION FOR MUSIC
Story By: Brianna Maldonado
Photo Credit: Nick Hay
Lea Fulton has become a familiar face around town since opening for Hunter Hayes at the Spring Concert and playing gigs in Lubbock. As a recent Texas Tech alumnus, Fulton is continuing his education at Texas Tech for graduate school in the fall and is excited to see where music takes him.
What is an early memory you have of music?
The first memory I have of being interested in music was when I was listening to "Who Let the Dogs Out" by the Baha Men, and I was just really grooving to it. Then, listening to Avril Lavigne, as well. These are just really old memories of the first few songs I enjoyed.
Biggest music inspiration?
My dad – he was really big on music. My mom also loved music. Both of them were always playing in the house. They have videos of me dancing to like Black Sabbath. My dad raised me on classic rock. I grew up moving around overseas, so I wasn't really a part of the popular culture of American music.
When did you start having an interest in music?
My dad always played guitar, and then he bought me my first guitar in sixth grade. I was really excited about it and started fiddling around with it. From there,
I started getting a little bit better. When I came to college, I met a guy who wrote his own songs. I, at the time, had just played covers. He said it was all about writing songs, so I tried that. After I wrote my first song, I liked it. I've been writing songs ever since.
What would you describe your genre of music as?
The songs I write are mixtures: singer-songwriter, folky, reggae, classic rock, and alternative rock. If I were to mesh it all into one, I'd say I'm leaning more toward pop music. Pop music is popular music for a reason. I want to write music that reaches out to as many people as possible in a positive way.
What has been your favorite moments performing?
I put on a show for the first time as a celebration for getting accepted into grad school. Typically, I'll play a gig, and for a lot of gigs in Lubbock, the musician is kind of a fly on the wall and background music. I was able to get openers for me. I had all these things ramping up the climax of when I went on. That was a really beautiful moment for me. I think any moment where the audience is really engaged is what I thrive off of. It's cool for me to play for an audience who enjoys what I'm doing.
How do you think music benefits your life?
In so many ways! Connecting with other people – I could meet someone for the first time and immediately hit it off with them by talking about a Beatles song we both like. It's kind of like a language that's universal. Music has also helped create opportunities for myself to get out of my comfort zone. It's helped me grow.
Where do see yourself in 10 years?
The short answer is I don't know. I have no clue. I think it's a good thing I don't know because if I did, that'd be kind of boring. I'm not as focused today on if music will be a big part of my life because I think I just know that it will be. It's just what I love to do. It's truly my passion. I believe in the deepest part of my heart and my soul that I'm meant to perform and be on stage.

Mane reveals how Liverpool football club helps Muslim players during Ramadan
in Sport — by Gambiana — April 28, 2022
Sadio Mane has praised Liverpool football club for the way it is supporting its Muslim footballers who are fasting during Ramadan.
The Merseyside club has changed its training times and dietary systems to keep its Muslim players in top condition and make it easier for them to continue fasting.
The Senegal international, who scored in Liverpool's 2-0 Champions League semi-final win over Villarreal last night, said Muslim players approached senior staff at the club before the start of Ramadan to suggest ideas to help the Muslim players.
Several Liverpool players are fasting while the club chases an unprecedented quadruple of titles.
"It's not easy because playing and training and doing Ramadan isn't easy at all," Mane told beIN Sports.
"But before Ramadan we tried to talk to the captain and to tell the boss maybe can we change the schedule? We train in the morning. It's easier for us. If you train in the morning then you have time to rest and go home.
"It's going to be tough if not because if you train around two or three it's going to be tough. They said yes and I think that made it easier. We are trying to do our best.
"Game day is something else but with Ramadan it's tough. Liverpool tried to make everything easier for us. We spoke with our nutritionist, especially before the game she did everything easier for us."

Home / Business / Wow Air purchased by rival Icelandair
Wow Air purchased by rival Icelandair
Since its founding in 2011, WOW Air has fought Icelandair, the country's flagship, for the business of the island nation. That the competition has come officially. On Monday, Icelandair announced that it has agreed to acquire the original Icelandic ultra-low cost supplier.
"Icelandair Group has entered into a share purchase agreement to buy all shares of the airline's WOW air," the carrier said in a statement.
In the agreement, WOW Air's shareholders will receive a 5.4% stake in Icelandair. Reuters estimates the agreement of 18 million dollars. However, Bloomberg reports that the WOW Air agreement should be worth around 25 million dollars, based on a value of $ 455 million on Icelandair. WOW Air's shareholders will be blocked from selling any newly acquired Icelandair shares for six months, with half of the shares subject to an additional six-month moratorium.
: The 20 safest airlines in the world
"WOW Air has built a strong brand in recent years and has had great success on the company's markets to and from Iceland and across the Atlantic," says Icelandair CEO and CEO Bogi Nils Bogason in a statement. "There are many opportunities for synergies with the two companies, but they will continue to operate under their own brands and operating approvals."
And Icelandair Boeing 757-200.
Headed by Founder and Managing Director Skuli Mogensen, WOW Air has become known among value-added travelers for its bottom floods and flashy fuschia rays.
The seven-year airline made headlines in the last couple of years with the sale of transatlantic flights of $ 55 and $ 70.
"I am very proud of the success and development we have had at WOW Air in recent years and I am grateful for the response we have received since our very first flight, "Mogensen said in a statement. "We have created a strong team that has achieved remarkable success and has been a pioneer of low-cost aircraft across the North Atlantic."
In an internal email obtained by Bloomberg, Mogensen explained to his employees that part of his reasons for selling to Icelandair was due to the tough market conditions.
: Singapore Airlines executive reveals why its new Airbus jet is such a change for the airline over its rivals
Both Icelandic airlines had worn this year due to high fuel prices, a decline in tourism to Iceland, and increased low cost competition. With the acquisition of WOW Air, the merged company would hold 3.8% of the transatlantic market. However, airlines will continue to function as their own brands.
Icelandair operates a fleet of Boeing 737, 757 and 767 aircraft, while WOW Air only airs the Airbus A320 family and A330 family jets.
Icelandair's acquisition of WOW Air is still subject to approval from Icelandair Group investors, Icelandic antitrust authorities and due diligence.


On Aug. 16, Baptist Medical Group internal medicine physician Dr. Mark Castellaw gave the invocation for the Elvis memorial service. A longtime fan of the King of Rock and Roll, Dr. Castellaw's practice, BMG-The Medical Group, even has an examination room called "The Elvis Room," filled with photos and other memorabilia. The room is at least partially responsible for saving a life. Fellow fan Jim Sykes scheduled a visit to see the room, and during his routine exam, Dr. Castellaw discovered that Sykes was having a heart attack.
