Interview with Luca Matta : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Luca Matta : The main inspiration was the design of the screw of Archimedes. The 'evolution of this project has changed the world in the field of mechanical engineering and construction. the Archimede phrase "geve me a lever / light and, i will move / enlighten the world" is surely is that better suited to this type of project. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Luca Matta : The main objective was to create a lot of "evolved families" of lights, or better, to create between a light and the other a perfect continuity and harmony in lighting. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Luca Matta : I'd like to implement in the thought and the project is currently made only in the abstract on paper and I hope that some company is interested in making my product .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Luca Matta : To create this type of geometry it took me a few minutes, but the work more hard was to "adapt" the geometric shape to a product that must operate, particularly illuminating, and has to be sold .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Luca Matta : It was a project still in the drawer for more than 5 years. Now I hope that this project will take the flight and could have a good success. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Luca Matta : I wish that this product was acquired, understood and engineered by a serious company, able to produce it and market it without changing the nature of the lamp. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Luca Matta : The passion, the tenacity and the challenge. A well-known Italian writer Vittorio Alfieri said: "I wanted always wanted, I wanted very strongly", this means that if any person has a strong will can go everywhere. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Luca Matta : No, there aren't any other designer that helped the influence the design of my work. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Luca Matta : Fontana Arte, Luce Plan, I think they are the companies that come closest to my style. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Luca Matta : What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts is the evolution of form. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Luca Matta : I try to forget the computer and mobile phone, listening to great music .... I always work at first by hand. Only after I realized what kind of shape I can give to the product, I begin to use the mouse and to process my project with computer. In the end, but not always, I make a small model to understand the 'ergonomics and' visual impact that can have the product. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Luca Matta : The playful- functional aspect, a product does not talk to me if it does not say anything. Alberto Munari great teacher, for example,taught us to listen to children, who know nothing about design, yet they are an inexhaustible source of creativity. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Luca Matta : I've realized this project by myself. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Luca Matta : Perhaps the OLED technology, but I'm not sure yet. But because of excessive costs I will adopt the OLED technology. One limitation of OLED technology is that it's already old. The next year it should be marketed the new quantum dot technology that it's less expensive and more performant than the OLED technology. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Luca Matta : I did not know what type of lighting technology applied to the lamp, was truly a feat! .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Luca Matta : I knew it was an innovative project in terms of aesthetic and functional aspects, but 5/6 years ago, OLED technology was not yet on sale, then the project has stopped. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?. Luca Matta : I still have to learn a lot ..... the technology is evolving. .Frank Scott: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?. Luca Matta : Did you work even during the night to realize this project? Well, very often, during the night, I fell asleep in my studio, and immediately after waking up I asked myself another question: "Who made me do all this?" .

Rometty with IBM apprentices at IBM's CES 2019 keynote address.
Originally published by WorkingNation, a national non-profit campaign dedicated to preparing Americans for the future of work. Visit WorkingNation.com for more.
On Wednesday, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty announced the CTA Apprenticeship Coalition during her keynote address at CES 2019, one of the world's largest technology showcases. With buzz about artificial intelligence and automation surrounding the event and abounding in media, Rometty links the emergence of these so-called job-killing technologies to their potential for job-creating opportunities.
"I believe that 100% of jobs will change in the era of AI and that productivity gains resulting from these technologies will ultimately create more jobs than they replace. The priority right now is to help people around the world prepare for these jobs and benefit more from the prosperity that new technology creates," Rometty wrote in an op-ed for CNN Business.
The coalition is comprised of 17 leading companies. IBM along with corporate heavyweights Walmart, Toyota, Bosch and start-ups like delivery service Postmates are uniting behind a common cause: to implement more apprenticeships within their companies and across industry sectors. The aim is to deliver digital skills training for young people and mid-career workers alike through public-private partnerships, so no workers are left behind.
According to a joint release from CTA and IBM, the coalition will help prepare workers for "new-collar jobs." They include entry-level tech support, software development and tech-enabled jobs where digital skills are prized and in short supply. Additionally, jobs in high-skill careers like engineering and data analysis are in demand. With a half-million unfilled tech jobs, the CTA says apprenticeships can bridge this skills gap while providing an upward career path.
"Our commitment — and our entire industry's obligation — is to build a workforce that is 'tomorrow ready.' This new Coalition allows us to scale apprenticeship programs nationwide and prepare more workers for the surging number of new collar jobs that require in-demand skills, but not always a four-year degree," Rometty said in the release.
The initiative spans 20 states to reach into America's heartland and under served communities that were overlooked as technology transformed coastal cities into high-tech oases. IBM's registered apprenticeship program, which began in 2017 and Rometty said has "grown nearly twice as fast as expected," will serve as the guide for apprenticeships created through the initiative.
The CTA's report that tech executives will struggle over the next five years to hire skilled workers joins a litany of stories and studies affirming a skilled worker shortage. Blue-collar industries are feeling the effects of a tight labor market too. But manufacturing and construction have long enjoyed apprenticeships to infuse new blood into their industries. Now other industries, insurance, for example, are using the apprenticeship model — and guidance from their European owners — to replenish their ranks.
The benefits of the apprenticeship model, where workers "learn while they earn" have garnered the tech industry's interest in recent years. The traditional way for workers to break into tech is too costly and time-consuming for many students, leading to the looming worker shortage and a stark diversity gap. Tech giants Google and Apple are ditching college degrees as a job requirement to court skilled workers who didn't have the means to get a college education.
The first registered apprenticeship for the tech industry emerged a few years ago when Techtonic Group created a Department of Labor-recognized program to train software developers. Techtonic CEO Heather Terenzio explained at WorkingNation's Work-Based Learning Town Hall that apprenticeships offer a faster and more affordable pathway that opens the door for workers to enter tech careers. Apprenticeships can reach into untapped talent sources, and provide the low-cost training that can be out of reach for economically-disadvantaged students.
With the reauthorization of the Perkins Act to fund career and technical education and more federal funding for apprenticeships, it's no surprise top companies are taking advantage of subsidized work-based learning opportunities. The power of public-private partnerships to align job-training programs with needed skills is emerging to meet the challenges of closing the skills gap. The CTA Apprenticeship Coalition is a product of this new way of thinking.
The choice of Rometty to use "tomorrow ready" to describe the skill-boosting effect apprenticeships can have on workers is an interesting departure from "future-ready." The implications are in words said and the technology on display at CES 2019, the future isn't too far from today.

A few days ago, who in the global art world had heard much about A. Jerrold Perenchio? Film buffs might remember he and Bud Yorkin produced the cult film Blade Runner (1982). Far more know him today as the former chairman and CEO of Univision, the largest Spanish-language television company in the US, with 52 million viewers. He is the biggest landowner in Los Angeles' prime oceanside Malibu district and one of its wealthiest residents. He definitely does philanthropy – some $50 million so far. But pictures?
Then, on 6 November, the US art world was rocked. Perenchio announced he would be giving the core of his art collection to Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) for their planned new building, specifically to help encourage financing to get it built. Indeed, the previous day the LA County Board of Supervisors said they would contribute $125 million and more, to be matched by $465 million of private support. So, some people must have been in on the secret.
In other words: roll up you Angelinos, and let's get this job done. To inspire people, a selection from Perenchio's gift will go on show next spring to mark LACMA's 50th birthday.

Into the Eye of the Storm
Learn why hurricanes are one of the most powerful and destructive tempests on Earth.
By Dr. Ed Brotak

The United States and its territories have seen unprecedented destruction in the past two years due to hurricanes. According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), major storms produced roughly $265 billion in damages in 2017, making it the costliest hurricane season ever recorded in U.S. history. Three of the most damaging hurricanes on record occurred in 2017: Harvey destroyed $125 billion worth of property, and Irma and Maria racked up $50 billion and $90 billion in damages, respectively. Rounding out the top five costliest hurricanes on record are two slightly older storms: Katrina (2005) and Sandy (2012), with Katrina being the costliest storm on record, totaling $161 billion in damages (allowing for inflation).
Damage costs are still being assessed for 2018, but hurricanes Florence and Michael are expected to join some of these fierce storms in the top 10. And hurricanes are causing more casualties now than ever — Atlantic storms directly and indirectly killed more than 3,000 people in 2017 alone.

When a Storm Is Brewing
A hurricane is an extreme type of tropical cyclone. A cyclone is a low-pressure area that spins counterclockwise (clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere), sucking air into its center. "Tropical" means the storm has developed in the very warm and humid air located above tropical or subtropical waters.
When meteorologists describe a storm as a "hurricane," it implies a certain intensity; hurricanes have minimum sustained surface winds of 74 mph. "Sustained winds" refers to the average wind speed over one minute. Because it takes time to build up to these speeds, a storm passes through several classifications before it's deemed a hurricane. In its earliest stages, these systems are called "tropical disturbances" — areas of convection (showers and thunderstorms) with no surface circulation. When circulation develops, but sustained surface winds are less than 39 mph, the system is referred to as a "tropical depression." Once winds increase to at least 39 mph, the system is classified as a tropical storm and given a name.
The practice of naming storms started in 1953 to help the public better recognize individual storms. Today, an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization comes up with the lists of names used around the world. (There are different sets of names for the Atlantic Basin, the eastern and central Pacific, the western Pacific, and so on.) If a storm is extremely destructive, the name is permanently retired.

When winds reach a minimum speed of 74 mph, meteorologists officially deem the system a hurricane, and start discussing categories. A hurricane's "category" refers to the intensity of the storm as ranked on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. This ranking is based on sustained wind speed, and gives the public an idea of the type of destruction that's possible if the storm hits land.
In 2017, there were two Category 5 storms: Irma and Maria. At its peak, Irma had sustained winds of 185 mph and gusts over 200 mph. Both storms made landfall at full strength with devastating results — Irma at Barbuda, and Maria at Dominica. In 2018, both Florence and Michael peaked as Category 4 storms. While Florence weakened to a Category 1 before making landfall in North Carolina, Michael came ashore at Mexico Beach, Florida, at full strength, and was the third most intense storm ever to make landfall in the United States.
The name used to identify a storm varies by location. "Hurricanes" are storms specifically in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the central and eastern North Pacific to the International Dateline. West of the Dateline, these storms are "typhoons." In the South Pacific and Indian oceans, they're "tropical cyclones," or simply, "cyclones."
The official Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, with a peak of activity between mid-August and mid-September. In an average year, the Atlantic Basin sees 12 named storms, six hurricanes, and three major (Category 3 or stronger) hurricanes. In 2017, there were 17 named storms; out of these storms, 10 became hurricanes, with six progressing into major hurricanes. Similarly, 2018 saw 15 named storms, with eight advancing to hurricanes, two of which were major hurricanes.

Inside the Cyclone
On a large-scale, there are several ingredients involved in the formation of a hurricane. Water needs to be at a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer to provide the moisture that "feeds" the convection and drives the storm. Interestingly, the formation of a storm structure depends on light ambient winds aloft; if these winds are too strong, they can weaken or even destroy the storm's vertical structure, as well as inhibit convection. Finally, you need something to start the spinning motion; the Coriolis Effect provides this. A phenomenon resulting from Earth's rotation, the Coriolis Effect causes air sucked in by tropical cyclones to spin out, creating the rotating patterns that famously indicate a hurricane. This force is why hurricanes rarely form on or near the equator, where the Coriolis Effect is minimal.
Even if overall conditions are favorable for development, a catalyst is necessary — something to get things going. In summer, tropical waves of low pressure move off the west coast of Africa and head westward across the Atlantic. When these initiate convection, it yields a mass of showers and thunderstorms. In time, a cyclonic circulation can develop aloft, and if it works its way down to the surface, an incipient tropical cyclone forms.
The structure of a hurricane is very complex. Rather than a solid mass of rain, a hurricane is comprised of bands of showers and thunderstorms, rotating counterclockwise around a center and extending outward as far as several hundred miles. Closer to the center of the storm, the bands become stronger and more numerous. A partial or complete ring of convection surrounds the center of the storm. This is the eyewall, where you'll find the strongest winds and heaviest rain. Once you penetrate this layer of heavy rain, you enter a relatively calm center known as the "eye" of the storm. Here, the air sinks rather than rises. In the strongest storms, the eye is clear, with blue skies overhead. The eye varies in size, from less than 10 miles across to more than 40 miles wide.
Saffir-Simpson Scale
Category Wind Speed (mph) Damage
74 to 95 mph Very dangerous winds, producing some damage.
96 to 110 mph Extremely dangerous winds, causing extensive damage.
111 to 129 mph Devastating damage will occur.
130 to 156 mph Catastrophic damage is expected.
157 mph or more Catastrophic damage.

Deadly Destruction
Tropical cyclones bring with them a variety of threats. The most obvious danger comes from the strong winds indicated by the Saffir-Simpson Scale. Winds of 50 mph or greater can take down trees and result in power outages. Inland areas, where strong winds are less frequent, will see more damage with lesser wind speeds.
Although strong winds can produce major damage, the storm surge typically brings the majority of destruction along the immediate coastline. This push of water inland is associated with tropical cyclones, and caused by strong onshore winds. It's not just the flooding itself that causes damage; the pounding of massive waves in addition to the elevated sea level can destroy even well-built structures. The actual height of the storm surge depends on a number of factors, including the size and strength of the storm, and the height of the tide during the initial hit. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina produced a storm surge of nearly 27.8 feet at Pass Christian on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The surge pushed inland at least 6 miles. A buoy off the coast measured a wave height of 55 feet.

Freshwater flooding due to excessive rainfall has become one of the greatest threats from tropical systems in recent years. Interestingly, rainfall amounts don't correlate with the strength of the storm. Dying hurricanes or even storms of lesser strength can produce prodigious amounts of rain. The threat can extend inland many miles from the coast and last for days. According to the NHC's Tropical Cyclone Report on Hurricane Harvey, it was "the most significant tropical cyclone rainfall event in U.S. history." The highest storm total rainfall report from Harvey was 60.58 inches near Nederland, Texas. Second in rainfall events to Harvey was Florence in 2018, with Elizabethtown, North Carolina, recording 35.93 inches.
In some cases, a hurricane can produce tornadoes when it reaches land. Although typically not as strong as conventional tornadoes, these can still cause quite a bit of damage. They most often occur in the right-front quadrant of the storm. Hurricane Harvey produced 52 tornadoes in 2017.
Since 1960, weather satellites have been our early warning system for tropical cyclones, constantly monitoring even the most remote ocean areas. Meteorologists compare active storms with images of former tropical systems from these satellites to make reasonably accurate estimates of intensity. Once a system gets close enough to land, the famed National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Hurricane Hunters fly directly into the storm. Although satellite imagery provides much information, researchers need to get into the system to determine its exact strength and movement. It sounds dangerous, but with experienced pilots, these missions aren't overly hazardous.

After it's established that a system has the potential of becoming a tropical cyclone, the NHC starts sending out bulletins online every six hours describing the system, giving a forecast on intensity changes and future movement. If the storm is endangering land, the frequency of the bulletins increases to every three hours. The public advisory gives a plain-language account of the storm, including current strength, location, and forecasts for future strength. This information is also provided in map form to make it more visually comprehensible for the public.
If a tropical system is close enough to threaten coastal areas, the NHC issues either a watch or warning, depending on the storm's potential impacts. A watch means that tropical storm force winds may affect a given area within 48 hours. A warning means that tropical storm force winds are confidently expected within the given area in 36 hours or less.
Track forecasts are usually quite accurate. In 2018, NHC forecasters predicted a direct hit on Puerto Rico by Maria multiple days in advance, and landfall forecasts for Michael were accurate within 10 miles. Intensity forecasting tends to be trickier, since researchers don't fully understand the internal workings of a hurricane. Meteorologists use the term "rapid intensification" to refer to a storm system that's gained several categories of strength in a single day.
A research group at Colorado State University is working on long-range hurricane forecasts. Typically, in the spring, the team releases a report of tropical activity for the upcoming hurricane season. The El Niño/La Niña cycle is a major factor. The NHC also updates its forecast several times during the summer, with marginal accuracy.

Although it's impossible to relate individual events, such as hurricanes, to long-term trends, such as climate change, we can make some basic assumptions. As ocean temperatures increase, there'll be more energy available for tropical cyclones. Rising sea levels also increase the likelihood of storm surge flooding. While too many other factors are involved to make this significant for all storms or for a full hurricane season, researching these connections helps meteorologists predict the growing intensity of hurricanes.
Every year, hurricanes sweep down the coasts of the country, causing havoc and destruction at each turn. After countless catastrophic hurricanes, and likely with more to come, these storms have proven to be some of the most fearsome systems on the planet.

Annie plays Micäela in The Tragedy of Carmen with Opera UCLA. The show is an intense 80 minute distillation of Bizet's Carmen, crafted by theatrical genius Peter Brook and his collaborators Jean Claude Carrière and Marius Constant.
The show runs for eight performances at The Little Theater at MacGowan Hall, UCLA from May 27 to June 4. Stay tuned for which of these dates Annie will perform!


With advance voting to begin shortly, the mayoral candidates' debate circuit continues to heat up, with harsh talk as well as requests for certain candidates to be excluded and threats to skip debates entirely. While Forum registers a Doug Ford surge, methodological factors may explain why other polls have disagreed. John Tory, in the lead, remains the target of choice for tough criticism, including his past employment.
While a National Post panel speculates on what issues would be prominent were transit not dominating the campaign, trailing candidates Olivia Chow and Doug Ford have stepped up their criticism of John Tory's rail plan in a week of little news on the transit front.
With no public comment until recently from Chief of Police Bill Blair or deputy mayor Norm Kelly on the recent killings in the city's west end, youth crime has nonetheless re-entered the debate, to a limited extent. Olivia Chow has weighed in with the suggestion that her platform's emphasis on child poverty makes her well-suited to address this problem.
While candidate Goldkind rises in profile, he has also become the target of criticism from Doug Ford; this has added a new dimension to this campaign's focus on debate attendance, as Ford's refusal to attend debates from which Goldkind has not been barred has prompted John Tory to say he will not attend debates from which Goldkind has been barred. Meanwhile, confusion over application of the rules regarding debate invitations has caused at least one debate to be cancelled entirely.
The campaign took an ugly and bizarre turn when Doug Ford was asked at a debate to address his brother's past anti-Semitic comments; Ford was booed into silence when he responded with a list of Jewish professionals he employs, including an accountant and doctor, and later defended himself by claiming his wife is Jewish (she does not identify as such, however). Meanwhile, Ford dodged a pointed question regarding his recent comments on children with autism and developmental disabilities, blaming the media for misreporting what he said. Olivia Chow continues to be the recipient of racist as well as sexist heckling and online commentary, while councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam argues that Ford and Tory should be more explicit in denouncing this sort of abuse.
A vote on island airport expansion might have to exclude John Tory if he becomes mayor, in order to avoid conflict of interest.
Another lawsuit alleging conflict of interest has been directed at the Fords.
Tory has issued a retraction of an earlier claim that he did not donate to the Fords' respective 2010 campaigns.
Tory's recently-announced housing policy includes a boost in funding to tackle TCHC's repair backlog.
Judy Rebick, Michele Landsberg, Naomi Klein and Deepa Mehta have endorsed Olivia Chow, as have councillors Paula Fletcher, Janet Davis and Sarah Doucette (the former of these specifically in response to the sexism directed at Chow on the campaign trail). Other feminist activists have voiced similar concerns and support for Chow.
Conservative MP Bernard Trottier, Liberal MPP Peter Milczyn, and councillors Gloria Lindsay-Luby, James Maloney and Denzil Minnan-Wong (at a different event) have endorsed John Tory.
The major mayoral candidates offered tentative support for the conclusions of a recent CAMH report that urges the legalisation of marijuana, but in the end all suggested that this is a decision to be taken by the federal government.
The race for Ward 2's council seat involves much more than a referendum on the Ford family.


Reno, NV—Donald Trump was ushered off stage Saturday by Secret Service amidst a campaign rally after one of his supporters shouted "Fire Him!" in a crowded theater. Although the incident in Reno proved to be a false alarm, the Secret Service is hailing the event as "good preparation" for the increased challenges and risks associated with keeping a dictatorial moron safe for the next 4 to 8 years. The Secret Service will be conducting more such drills and expanding their repertoire to include nuclear drills, chemical warfare drills, as well as Rosie O'Donnell Sniper-attack Incident Exercises (ROSIEs).

I am honored and deeply humbled by the confidence that you have shown in me by electing me as your grand commander. As we look forward to a new Templar year let us endeavor to remember why we became Knights Templar. As Christian knights we should show the world what we stand for by how we live and how we act.
My theme for this year is "Put on the Whole Armor of God". I encourage each of your Commanderies to engage in at least one Religious activity this year as a Commandery. We are Christian Knights so let us be Christians.
We have begun OUR journey with Prayer, let us continue to pray for the strength and wisdom to continue down this pilgrim's path and show the world that we are true Knights Templar.
We have begun to Share the Blessing, let us not forget those who need a helping hand, be it for a day or an extended period. Let us continue as Templars to stretch out a helping hand and show our Templar principles.

Types in Hebrews
Edition: June 30, 1978
Imprint: Kregel Classics
Category: Biblical Studies
Series: Sir Robert Anderson Library Series
Author: Sir Robert Anderson
An enlightening examination of the Old Testament types found in Hebrews and their practical relevance for today.
Sir Robert Anderson (1841-1918) was converted to Christ at the age of nineteen and almost immediately began to preach in his native Dublin where he trained for a legal profession at Trinity College. He became a respected member of the Irish Home Office and an expert on criminal investigation. In 1888, he was summoned to Scotland Yard, London, to serve as Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, an office he filled with distinction until retirement in 1896. At his retirement, he was knighted by Queen Victoria; and in 1901, King Edward VII made him Knight Commander. In the midst of all his many duties, he managed to gain a profound knowledge of the Bible, preach in various conferences, and write seventeen books.

The 10 Best Rare Gets for 2014 Music Festivals
Who's the ultimate bragworthy act for festivals nationwide?

Michael Roffman and Frank Mojica

Welcome to Festival Outlook, a new supplemental column that will provide more in-depth analysis for the rumors found on Consequence of Sound's Festival Outlook. In this installment, Michael Roffman and Frank Mojica define what makes an act a "rare get" and determine this year's 10 best across North America.
Michael Roffman (MR): Well, here we are, just hours after Bonnaroo has closed its gates. I can't help but feel this year's festival season has been sort of a blur. Don't you agree? In fact, maybe it's just where I'm sitting — a comfy couch with Fargo in the background — but I just don't get the sense that many people are as jazzed for festivals as they were in previous years. Does it feel that way to you? I think it could be that I'm just jaded and my all-time favorite band has already burned down the mysterious red curtain (ahem, The Replacements).
But really, I think I feel that way because festivals, to me, have always been an opportunity to see the rare gets. The acts you keep thinking about but never get to see onstage. Now that The Replacements have six or seven setlists to their name, Talking Heads still haven't surfaced (even as a rumor), Kate Bush refuses to use her passport and will stay at home, and Hüsker Dü are nowhere to be seen … I guess the lack of a real, genuine "rare get" is why I'm feeling so passive-aggressive about the season this year. So, this list should be an intriguing one. What say you, Frank?
Photo by David Hall
Frank Mojica (FM): I have to agree. There have been "rare gets" this year, but nothing that would inspire me to fly around the world or even the country just to see. As far as reunions go, the best ones that are actually feasible have come and gone. Sure, I would have gone for Cibo Matto, but they did play Los Angeles and surprisingly weren't on a single festival lineup. Talking Heads or Lush would generate some true excitement from me, but I don't see either ever happening. As for Kate Bush, I don't even want to think about it. England always gets the best tours.
OutKast's first show was a mixed bag, and that reunion tour is the exact opposite of rare. The Knife was on my bucket list, and they finally played Coachella this year, and it didn't live up to the legend of the Silent Shout show or the Fever Ray tour. It was fairly fun, but ultimately forgettable and far too much effort to make an empty statement. In the two months since Coachella, I've barely thought about it, while I still remember the Fever Ray show from 2010 daily. I'm grateful that Slowdive and Slint are coming to Los Angeles later this summer for FYF, though. For me, my travels this season are about convenience or adventures with friends, rather than that once-in-a-lifetime set in a field in the middle of nowhere.
Do rare gets even matter for the majority of festivalgoers nowadays? Consider the poor turnouts for The Replacements and Neutral Milk Hotel at Coachella and also those festivals that are short on rare acts but still sell a lot of tickets.

MR: Good question. From what I've gathered, I feel that rare gets are more about passionate choices on the promoter's behalf than any financial capability. I think back to our discussion with Governors Ball founder Jordan Wolowitz from earlier this year. When we asked him about his dream lineup additions, he contended that he tries to avoid making such lists, eventually admitting he would "love to get" the Talking Heads, adding: "Long shot, I know, but … you never know. A reunion in NYC would make a lot of sense, right?" It's a small quote, sure, but it offered a peek into what's going on in the heads of all these promoters. Granted, Talking Heads isn't in the same league as The Replacements or Neutral Milk Hotel and certainly not Slowdive … but his attempt to go for what we all know is a "white whale" of a get proves that it's still an essential factor of a lineup. But yeah, I argue it's all about the passion of whoever's behind the controls.
Really, all anyone needs to do is book a Calvin Harris or a Zedd or a Skrillex, and you can move tickets. We know this already. Not too far back we also argued that mid-tier acts like Lorde, Chance the Rapper, or HAIM could headline a decent-sized festival, namely because these are the acts the mainstream, average festivalgoer wants to see. The thing is, let's say one festival books only those acts, never attempts to grab a "rare get," and continues to push only its successes. Are we going to keep writing about them? Will the brand find an identity? Do they differentiate themselves from anyone else? I would say no to all of the above. However, that still doesn't fully answer your question: do the rare gets even matter? I'd say 10 years ago, absolutely. I remember flying to Chicago in 2005 just to see the Pixies, Billy Idol, and a then-rare performance of Weezer at Lollapalooza. I didn't care about a good number of the other more popular acts because I knew they'd be everywhere else. Well, except for Arcade Fire.

So, to answer your question, I'd say the promoters care about them, but a select group of festivalgoers care about them, too. And in the long run, that small sect speaks volumes about what face that festival will wear. Now, here's one thing: What exactly qualifies as a rare get? And how long before they become a staple?
FM: I figure an act qualifies as a rare get depending on a combination of three factors: the last time the band in question played the country (or beyond), the frequency of gigs on the current tour, and the likelihood that they will play again later. Outkast is certainly a staple for 2014 due to their 40-festival plan, but I'm sure there won't be any more shows next year or beyond. Acts like Pulp and Blur remain near the top of the rarity chain due to the shortage of performances during their brief reunions and the infrequency of their U.S. appearances before the returns in question.
Someone like Elton John qualifies as a rare get to some extent in the festival world because only Bonnaroo has him, but due to the long history of touring, he isn't as scarce as someone like Slint. Similarly, an artist that isn't touring anywhere in 2014 with the exception of a few festivals, like Frank Ocean or even Metric, counts as a rare get, even though they just toured a year or two ago and will certainly next year. The one-off (or two- or three-off) may be a safer way to draw a crowd nowadays than a reunion because they are easier to book, and attendees are becoming increasingly ignorant of legacy acts.
MR: That's about the way I see them, too. By that measure, there are a number of rare gets then this year that don't exactly get tagged as a "reunion" or a "nostalgia act." You mentioned Frank Ocean. Here's a performer that wasn't really that notorious of a live sensation a couple of years ago. If you recall, he only appeared at a handful of big performances throughout 2012, and he's since spent most of 2013 and 2014 in solitude, fine tuning his follow-up to the brilliant channel ORANGE.
I think he's probably this year's strongest get for any festival, and here's why: 1. He's an engaging, young performer who's incredibly talented in a multitude of ways, 2. He's pushing forward a genre in a style that's been universally agreed upon by critics and listeners, and 3. There's still so, so much mystery to him. He's the opposite of what many might consider a rare get; he's the elusive, much-talked-about Big Hype that only a few people get to see. So, Bonnaroo is lucky to have him, especially so early in what will undoubtedly be the next stage of his career.
Not even Death from Above 1979, who has a highly anticipated new album forthcoming and only a pocket of dates ahead, qualifies as such. In their recent announcement, Sebastien Grainger said, "No matter what Jesse and I do, on whatever scale of success it's sat on, there's always some kind of reference to Death from Above. It's only frustrating because it's so lazy. So, we're putting out a Death from Above record and if the press is like, 'It's not what we expected,' or however they react to it, it's like, 'Well, you've been fucking asking for it.'" In other words, the new album was a by-demand sort of thing, and although he later contended it's what will keep their future brighter, it still goes back to the idea that they're simply back because the millennials wanted a chance to see them. Still, they're an essential rare get this year, but a far more different beast than Ocean.
One similar spin, though deeply rooted in the "nostalgia tag," are The Strokes. Technically, they're back and showcasing material off 2013's Comedown Machine, but really, most of the festivalgoers to see them will wait through "Happy Ending" or "Welcome to Japan" for "Last Nite" or "Reptilia". Having said that, you can't really fault them for their fans, but when critiquing rare gets, it's certainly an attribute that separates them from, say, Frank Ocean. I'd still place them pretty high, especially given the recent reviews and setlists that have come through. Hell, I'm still kicking myself for missing their Governors Ball hometown gig. Thanks, Dan Caffrey. Just kidding.
Looking ahead, towards the fall especially, are there any other acts you think might give some 2014 festivals an edge? Well, at least until they're spread out over every festival come 2015.
FM: FYF has really impressed me with their collection of rare gets. The Blood Brothers reunion, plus Slint and Slowdive? This festival is really putting some of the big ones to shame. At this point, I feel the surprises have already been let out of the bag, and now it's time to see how they pan out.
MR: Absolutely. I think from here on out it's safe to consider FYF as the location to find these rare gets — both small and large. Remember how they grabbed My Bloody Valentine last year? And Desaparecidos and Refused the year before? In a few weeks, we might have to update our power rankings for North America's music festivals. Hmmm.
For now, I think we have a good idea on where we're going with this list. Let's start this up, shall we?
10. King Diamond
FM: A total out-of-left-field headliner choice for Fun Fun Fun. A truly scarce opportunity to hail Satan in style.
MR: Hey, who knows how the 58-year-old rocker will go over with the Austin audiences (or any, for that matter), but if there's one place deserving of having the Danish metalhead, it's Fun Fun Fun. I'd love to see this segue into Judas Priest.
9. Massive Attack
FM: Massive Attack tours so infrequently, so their return is an especially welcome one. They look likely for Treasure Island, but aside from that, they are only doing European festivals and Corona Capital.
MR: I'd be more partial to them, personally, if they had anything to support. However, they're still one of the better live acts of the last 20 years, especially visually, so I do think they're a suave smoking gun for a number of locales.
8. The Replacements

FM: Remember when they were supposedly only doing Coachella this year? Even with the added appearances, this reunion tour is rather unpredictable, so fans need to seize whatever opportunities they get.
MR: I think every reader by now understands my obsession with this band. Fandom aside, though, you can't ask for a better reunion right now, what with their onstage banter, setlist changeups, and left-field guest appearances, even if the luster of their name isn't as strong as it was, say, this time last year.
7. Television
Photo by Amy Price
FM: Did you know Television has only played the Los Angeles area once? They would have been a major get for Coachella or FYF, but I guess that second LA show is the one that got away. This year the only festival in the U.S. to get them was Big Ears in Knoxville.
MR: I didn't know that. Russell, did you know that?
Russell Finley (RF): No, I did not know that.
6. Slint
FM: Slint is the epitome of the niche reunion few people seem to know or care about, but those that do are excited. It's been seven years since their last tour, so their handful of appearances this year are much appreciated.
MR: Agreed. Even if they're not for everyone, post-hardcore acts are becoming more and more popular, and we all saw how successful Converge was back in 2012. I, for one, will sign up for one of their shows.
5. Slowdive
FM: It's been 20 years since Slowdive last toured, and the only places to see them this year (so far?) are Pitchfork and FYF, which is unfortunate, but at least they are back together again.
MR: Okay, this isn't exactly at the same level Pixies were back in 2004, or My Bloody Valentine was in 2008, but this is a must-see of the year and with so few appearances, it's a shoe-in for an ultimate rare get.
4. The Blood Brothers
FM: Did anyone see this reunion coming?
MR: Nope. One of this year's best surprises. Now, here's one question: Will they be any good still?
3. The Strokes
FM: The fewer Strokes shows there are, the more time Julian Casablancas has to do solo sets, so let's please get more of the Strokes because … yikes.
MR: Hey now … I'm very intrigued by his Voidz work. I think there's something to be said about their work, which seems to be in the transitional stage. If you can sort through their erratic onstage mixing — which might be the problem — there are plenty of hooks and enough intriguing sonic experiments going down. I'm pretty anxious for their album, to be honest. Then again, I'm more than partial to Casablancas.
So, yeah, I'm baffled I haven't been able to see The Strokes yet. The setlists have been wonderful, the bootleg videos sound promising, and they really have nothing to lose. No obligations, only themselves. In other words, the most exciting position they've been in since their return back in 2010.
2. Death from Above 1979
FM: Their reunion came out of nowhere and so did the just-announced second album. I'm sure they will be all over the place again next year, though.
MR: I'd argue this would be No. 1 if I didn't feel like this had to be tagged as a nostalgic. With a new album down the line, there's a sense of mystery to the duo again that waned with their onslaught of reunion gigs back in 2011. Let's just hope the album doesn't suck.
1. Frank Ocean
FM: So, Frank Ocean didn't debut any new songs at Bonnaroo, but clearly fans were excited to see him nonetheless and will be again at Pemberton.
MR: That's putting it mildly. The lack of new material is disappointing, sure, but not exactly. It was his first big hurrah coming back, so why would he risk cracking his foundation with new material? Instead, he stuck to his ever-reliable batch of R&B songs, a genre that insofar has belonged to the likes of Banks and Sam Smith this year.
Here's the thing: While both of those performers are supremely talented, Ocean eclipses either artist with intrigue in just about every field (lyrically, musically, contextually). Yes, Bonnaroo was a soft return, but I'm convinced he'll start teasing new sounds in the near, near future. Right now, he's just a familiar enigma, but nonetheless an enigma.
That right there is why we (should) attend music festivals.

"The Day That Never Comes" is a song by heavy metal band Metallica, and the lead single from their ninth studio album, Death Magnetic. The song was released to the radio and for digital download on August 21, 2008.

The working title of the song was "Casper", as shown in the Mission: Metallica videos and in Demo Magnetic.

Composition
Like previous ballads and downbeat songs by Metallica, it is the fourth track of the album. Rock Sound has also compared the song to the likes of Thin Lizzy. The intro starts out with clean guitars that carry into the verses, while the choruses are backed with heavily distorted guitars. The bridge speeds up gradually and eventually leads into fast-paced harmony between the guitars and a long guitar solo by Hammett, a build-up comparable to that of "One", "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" and "Fade to Black". The ending of the song, like the previously mentioned ballads, is purely instrumental, featuring numerous solos and chord progressions.

Music video
A music video for the song was filmed in the desert outside Los Angeles on July 31, 2008, directed by Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg. It was premiered on the band's official page at midnight on September 1, 2008.

The video depicts two Marines riding a HMMWV in a desert and getting hit by an explosion. After they take cover and look for the attacker, one of them reveals that he suffered a wound. The other Marine provides first aid and calls for help, and while he's eventually medevaced by a helicopter, it is implied that he fainted. The video then forwards to another situation involving the remaining Marine in another group riding a HMMWV and getting stopped in the road by a Yugo and a civilian in front of it holding a jumper cable in the air. The group, suspecting it might be an ambush, circles around the car and keeps the man at gunpoint, only to find a woman in chador in the back seat. They order her out of the car, but she approaches the protagonist, who keeps holding her at gunpoint. The video then climaxes when the Marines nervously look at each other, fearing that she might be a suicide bomber, but eventually the Marine lowers his weapon and signals to the rest to do the same. The Marines help the man to push start the car, and the protagonist remains looking at the sky. Scenes of the band performing in the desert are interspersed within the video.

Concepts
On , in an MTV interview, the song lyrics were said to tackle the subject of forgiveness and resentment. The band's drummer Lars Ulrich claimed that the lyrics were inspired by a father-son relationship. The content of the video itself is of a different theme or setting than what the lyrics themselves were written about, a second interpretation. The video is said to be in a war background in comparison to the "One" video, but will not make any modern day references as in the war in Iraq and the Middle East (although the video depicts images of Middle East war in present day, they do not imply any political statement).
Frontman James Hetfield spoke on the lyrics of the song and also the radical difference of the song lyrics and vision intended to the music video.

Lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and Ulrich also commented by stating ultimately, the concept of the video deals with humanity and the relationships between human beings and how your basic sense of humanity can override any sort of politicized situation.

In pop culture
"The Day That Never Comes" appears as part of the Death Magnetic album DLC for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and it was later optimized to be used for  Guitar Hero: World Tour, Guitar Hero: Metallica, Guitar Hero 5, Band Hero and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.
The song was used in the video game DJ Hero 2 mixed with Kanye West's "Love Lockdown."
The song was featured in TV show Once Upon a Time and in the end credits to the documentary Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory.

I FEEL PRETTY – Film Review
Erik Yates April 19, 2018 2018Current ReviewsI
I Feel Pretty is a Film With a Great Message and a lot of Laughs.
DIRECTED BY ABBY KOHN & MARC SILVERSTEIN/2018
Amy Schumer (Trainwreck, Snatched) moves on from the "trainwreck" of her last film, Snatched, and back into more of the familiar territory that she covered in Trainwreck with her latest film, I Feel Pretty.
Schumer wrote Trainwreck and benefited greatly with the direction of Judd Apatow where she played a woman whose worldview on relationships was totally shaped by her womanizing father. In the end, she must do some true soul-searching and introspection, as well as come to terms with feeling comfortable with who she is, inside and out, despite working for a magazine that only wants to focus on looks, style, and juicy gossip.
With I Feel Pretty, many of those same themes come to the surface in the story that is both written and directed by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein, who are making their feature-length film directorial debuts. Amy Schumer plays Renee Bennett, a woman who sees herself as everyone in the film sees her: namely an overweight woman who has to ask for size 9 double-wide shoes at the local gym where she is taking a Soul Cycle class surrounded by beautiful people. What she misses is the reason people like her. She has bought into the lie that beauty is on the outside.
Renee works in a basement office in Chinatown with Mason (Adrian Martinez- Focus, American Hustle, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty), safely out of sight from the 5th Avenue office in Manhattan of the cosmetic and beauty company, Lily LeClaire. She has two great friends, Jane (Busy Philipps- He's Just Not That Into You) and Vivian (Aidy Bryant- The Big Sick), her own apartment, and really a great life. The only problem is that Renee can't see it.
One night, while watching the film Big, she is inspired to make her own wish at a New York fountain, instead of a Zoltar machine. She wishes to be pretty, pathetically looks herself over, and then walks back home. The next day at her Soul Cycle class, she has a accident that knocks her out. When she awakens, she sees herself as totally transformed into a beautiful person…the kind of beauty she wished for: on the outside. No longer feeling a poor self-image, she believes she belongs with the likes of Emily Ratajkowski, who is a girl in the Soul Cycle class.
The humor of the film comes from the idea that Renee really believes she is a small-sized supermodel, the kind that are walking around Lily LeClaire, despite looking exactly the same to everyone around her. She is so confident with her new outlook that she goes for the receptionist job (which is a pay cut but gets her out of the Chinatown basement) at Lily LeClaire's Manhattan office, a job normally reserved for aspiring models who serve as the first face of the company that people see when they step off of the elevator. She is actually really good at her job. While she thinks she is getting by on her new great looks, the people of the company are being drawn to who she really is on inside.
Soon she has the attention of Lily LeClaire herself, played by Lauren Hutton (My Father the Hero), along with her granddaughter Avery LeClaire, played by Michelle Williams (The Greatest Showman, Manchester by the Sea) who are trying to launch a new cosmetic line for the everyday woman, to be sold at Target and Kohl's. Avery is heading this up and due to her wealthy upbringing cannot relate at all to the targeted demographic. Williams really has fun with the role, along with Naomi Campbell who plays the CFO of the company, Helen, working alongside Avery.
Renee also finds the confidence to pick up a guy named Ethan (Rory Scovel- The House), whom she thinks likes her for her looks, but really just enjoys how down to earth she is. She is also attracting Lily LeClaire's grandson Grant (Tom Hopper- Game of Thrones), who isn't as superficial, it seems, as Avery. As Renee becomes more and more successful in every area of her life, she starts to buy into the lie of her "good looks" more and more, threatening her friendships, relationships, and even her job.
I Feel Pretty is a film with a great message and a lot of laughs. Much like Trainwreck, Shumer works in an industry that perpetuates the stereotype, and feeds the lies and insecurity that so many buy into. The film targets females, in particular, as the ones who carry so much of the weight of having to look a certain way, and be a certain way in order to be successful. It tries to remind us to remember when we were young and could just be free to laugh and enjoy each other for who we truly are. The trick being to see ourselves as we truly are and embrace it, rather than looking in the proverbial mirror and holding ourselves to the false ideal that our culture celebrates and worships.
I Feel Pretty tends to be a bit paint by numbers exact in terms of its plot, but it is funny enough to overcome any of the cliches. With a PG-13 rating, the film is also much more accessible to general audiences than the R-rated Trainwreck, which should give the film a much bigger platform to share the laughs and their message. Hopefully its a message that rings true, not only with the cosmetics company in the film, but for all of us, that beauty is more than skin deep.

I am looking for some insight on Node Rebooted Event Type in my events section of the Solarwinds web portal.
I don't understand our NPM knows devices are rebooted. For example on Jan 6th we had a power blimp and all our Liebert CRAC units powered off then back on. So they lost power for no more than 4 to 5 seconds before the they switched over to battery. But in the events they are all showing rebooted when I would make rather see node down then node up right away.
Or the other day a customer we monitor servers for likes to reboot his server but he gets upset when he is expecting an alert but one never fires off because the event is set as a reboot.
Basicly is there an option somewhere I need to adjust because I want this off. I don't like how things are assumed as a reboot. I would rather deal with the loads of extra alerts then wonder if the alerts are working at all.
Does anyone have ideas on this?
Orion will look at the System Uptime of the device, which can be found in the SYSTEM-MIB. There is no way to adjust this. If you are receiving alerts, just disable that particular alert in Orion. If you want to disable the event from showing up in the web console, I'm not sure that there's a real good way to do this.
