Z.Vex Instant Lo-Fi Junky review
This junkie's got us hooked
By Stuart Williams 2012-03-02T10:00:00Z
If you're a fan of crusty retro effects or cinematic soundscapes, you'll be addicted to the Junkie.
Great selection of wigged-out effects.
If you're after more traditional sounds, there are straight vibrato pedals that'll do the job better.
This pedal is based on the company's Lo-Fi Loop Junkie, with its old-school vibrato and chiming compression, which only applies its magic to the looped sound, not your real-time guitar signal. This is why Z.Vex has produced the Instant Lo-Fi Junkie (minus the looping).
Of the knobs on offer, the Comp/Lo-Fi control acts as a blend: to the left you get punchy clean compression (ideal for boosting your picking), and to the right you get lo-fi modulation; anywhere in between is a mixture of the two sounds.
The Tone control only effects the sound of the modulation (it doesn't do anything in Comp mode). On top, there's a three-position mini-toggle for changing the mod's waveform.
You get a sine wave (gentle sweep), triangle wave (more pronounced) or a square wave (straight up/down sweep).
The Junkie works on distorted sounds, but you'll get the most out of it on clean/semi-driven settings. We found our sweet spot (a dream-like warble similar to the sound you get from a stretched cassette tape) with the Comp/Lo-Fi control at about three-quarters with the sine wave modulation shape.

Man, presumably a terrorist, stabs officer outside British parliament: "Big news" says Trump
Maldivian President Solih's controversial win in party primary ahead of Presidential poll
Home Around The World
in Around The World, Top Story
London, March 22 (AFP): British police shot a suspected attacker outside the Houses of Parliament in London on Wednesday after an officer was stabbed in what was described as a "terrorist" incident.
According to witness reports, a car also ploughed into several bystanders on the nearby Westminster Bridge before crashing into railings outside parliament.
The building in the heart of the British capital was immediately sealed off and MPs and staff ordered to remain inside.
"We are treating this as a terrorist incident until we know otherwise," police said in a statement.
David Lidington, the leader of parliament's lower House of Commons who is responsible for arranging government business, told MPs: "What I am able to say to the house is there has been a serious incident."
"It seems that a police officer has been stabbed, that the alleged assailant was shot by armed police. There are also reports of further violent incidents in the vicinity of the Palace of Westminster," he said.
He said he could not go into further details until there was confirmation from the police and security authorities.

One eyewitness, Jayne Wilkinson, told Press Association she had seen the drama unfold.
"We were taking photos of Big Ben and we saw all the people running towards us, and then there was an Asian guy in about his 40s carrying a knife about seven or eight inches long.
"And then there were three shots fired, and then we crossed the road and looked over. The man was on the floor with blood," said the eyewitness.
"He was running through those gates, towards Parliament, and the police were chasing him."
US President Donald Trump said he had been briefed on the incident, describing it as "big news."

PM safe
A Downing Street source said Prime Minister Theresa May was "okay" but declined to say where she had been during the attack.
She had earlier been in parliament during her weekly showpiece question and answer session. She was seen getting into the back of a car and being driven off.
The incident came a day after Britain announced it planned to follow the United States and introduce a ban on electronic devices in cabins on flights from some Middle Eastern and North African countries.
Affected airlines have until Saturday to implement the measure.
US officials warned that terrorists are seeking "innovative" ways to attack airliners with smaller explosive devices hidden in consumer electronics larger than smartphones.
Lidington said an air ambulance was at the scene outside parliament to take away casualties.
TV pictures showed traffic halted on the nearby Westminster Bridge and emergency vehicles swarming around. The busy bridge was completely shut off to traffic.
Armed police rushed to the area which was quickly sealed off to the public.
London's Metropolitan Police said on Twitter: "We were called at approx 2:40 pm to reports of an incident at Westminster Bridge. Being treated as a firearms incident – police on the scene."
Police inincluding firearms officers – are on scene and dealing with the incident."
A staff member in parliament, who did not want to be named, told AFP: "I definitely heard shots. I saw someone in dark clothing go down."
Westminster station on the London Underground train network, which is opposite the Houses of Parliament, was closed over to the incident.
The site is heavily guarded around the clock and there are barriers designed to prevent someone ramming into the building.
The incident comes with Europe on high alert after a series of deadly militant attacks.
Belgium was on Wednesday marking a year since its most deadly attack, when 32 people were killed in suicide bombings at Brussels Airport and a metro station by militant Islamic State fighters.
In July 2005, four British suicide bombers inspired by Al Qaeda attacked London's transport system during rush hour, killing 52 people

This message was preached on March 1, 2020 at New Testament Christian Fellowship, just a couple of weeks before the Covid-19 lockdowns. After 8 messages camped out between Revelation 20:6-7 concerning the coming Millennial Kingdom, Mr. Boyd discusses a few remaining details about millennial life from Amos 9, Obdaiah 17-21, Zephaniah 2 Haggai 2, and Malachi 3. Then, he strikes the tent, packs up the camp, and moves on to discuss Almighty God's ultimate object lesson, the one final lesson of human history at the end of Christ's Earthly Reign, a lesson learned the hard way (Revelation 20:7-10). And once this lesson is learned, God strikes the tent on human history and this present creation.

USS New York (ACR-2)
Depth: 16-30 m / 55-100 ft
Diver Level: Advanced Open Water
Probably the one ship everyone wants to see most when wreck diving in Subic Bay Philippines, the Subic Wreck USS New York was built in the 1890's used was used in both WWI and WWII. Definitely one of the coolest wrecks we have here in the Subic Bay, her 8" guns are still intact where she lies at a depth of between 17-27 meters.
History of the Subic Wreck USS New York
In 1888 US congress commissioned the construction of a fast Armored Gun Cruiser at a cost of 3.5 million dollars. She first hit the water in September 1891 and in 1893 during final sea trials she became the fastest armoured cruiser in the world! The USS New York was fitted with superior weaponry than the French vessel and had far greater hull protection than the British ships.
She saw her first real active service in Cuba at the commencement of the Spanish-American war in 1898. With assistance of several other US Ships she bombarded and completely destroyed the Spanish Fleet. She returned home in August 1898 to a warrior's welcome.
In 1901 the USS New York was transferred to and became the flagship of the Asiatic Fleet, getting her first look at the Philippines. She saw duty in Peru, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Russia and many other countries.
She was then renamed the USS Saratoga on the 16th of February 1911 to make the name available for the Battleship NEW YORK BB-34.
As the likelihood of the US involvement in WW1 became more likely she recommenced full commissioning and then sailed to the Panama Canal, and on the 1st of December 1917 was renamed again, this time as the USS Rochester to make way for the new battle cruiser USS SARATOGA CC-3.
She escorted a convoy to France in 1918 and it was there that she sped to the aid of the British steamer the "Atlantion" that was struck by a German U-Boat. After the Armistice the Rochester served as a transporter bringing troops home.
In February 1932 she headed for Shanghai for service in the Pacific Fleet, from there she headed to Cavite in the Philippines. On the 29th of April the USS Rochester was decommissioned and was laid up in Olongapo harbor for the next 8 years. Her name was struck off the Naval Register and on the 24th of December 1941 she was scuttled here in Subic Bay to prevent falling to the invading Japanese forces.

The Subic Wreck USS New York now sits on her port side with one of her enormous propellers still visible along with her 4 x 13 metre long cannons. The vessel lies in 28 metres of water near the mouth of the Kalaklan River; she is home to an abundance of fish life including large barracuda and the occasional eagle ray!
If wreck diving is your thing, know that she is an underground playground for recreational and technical divers alike and serves as a reminder to her impressive military past.

My paintings begin with a serious sense of play, both in the staging and the creating of the compositions. It is at this beginning stage that I operate under the Dadaist dictate that "anything can be art", and at the same time I seek out a balanced and harmonious composition by way of line, shape, and color. I work according to my whimsy, sometimes seeking to assert some form of narrative however personal or ambiguous, and other times I am simply satisfied with the hint of a human presence.
Once I have my compositions the paintings then very quickly become about work, a very labor intensive work that forces me to focus my mind and slow things down (which I feel is relevant especially in this day and age of high-speed everything). A great amount of effort is spent on trying to get to the highest level of finish that is possible according to my current skill level.
For inspiration I have drawn from the past four centuries of object specific paintings, from the ontbijtjes (laid tables) of the 17th Century Dutch masters such as Willem Kalf, Jan Davidsz de Heem, Abraham van Beijeren, Peiter Claus Heda and Willem Claesz Heda, to the kitchen settings of Chardon, as well as the still life's of Cézanne, and the Nature Morte paintings of Morandi, also some of the intensely skillful hyperrealist and trompe l'oeil painters working today.

Q: MySQL CSV importing error: Invalid column count I get an invalid column count error while trying to import from a ; delimited CSV to MySQL via phpMyadmin. The error is possibly caused by the ; signs in the HTML text such as é. What should I do?

A: The records contained <pre> texts in coding-related articles, so I had to remove [CR] and [LF] chars (they were interpreted as new lines => new record), plus I had to replace ; in html entities with something else, so now column count matches and the import was successful. Converting back the replace text to ; everything works now.

This article provides information about the installation and basic configuration of Apache Tomcat on RHEL and its clones.
Installing Tomcat on Linux is pretty simple if you're using a YUM repository. You just need to make sure you've got Java installed already, then install the Tomcat packages. Tomcat7 is available from the Tomcat website, but the default version for OL6 is Tomcat6.
The tomcat6-webapps and tomcat6-admin-webapps packages are not strictly speaking necessary, but they do give you access to a HTML management interface that makes things easier for a newbie.
Once installed, make sure the service is started and set to auto-start on reboot.
The default page is visible on port 8080, so on the server itself you can access it using this URL "http://localhost:8080".
Remember to open up the port on the firewall if you want to access the site from other servers on the network. Information about the Linux firewall is available here.
There are several ways to check the status of the service.
The status is also available from the HTML management page.
The main locations of configuration and log information are shown below.
Edit the "/usr/share/tomcat6/conf/tomcat-users.xml" file, adding a new role and user with admin privileges.
Restart Tomcat for the configuration to take effect.
The management application is now available from the "http://localhost:8080/manager/html" URL.
You can get a sample application WAR file to test with from "http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/appdev/sample/".
If this is a redeployment, delete the existing deployment from the "/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps" directory.
Place the "sample.war" file in the "/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps" directory and Tomcat with automatically deploy it. You will see a "sample" directory appear.
You don't need to stop and start Tomcat for this to work, but you can if you want.

I thought it was a funny question, given that millennials have been in the workplace for 15 years now. As a matter of fact, the next generation (generation Z or the "post-millennials") will be entering the work force starting next year. But, people have been asking for a long time how to adapt to the new generation of workers.
Let's be honest, millennials get a bad rap. First of all, how can we lump 15 years and millions of people into the same category and say that are all a certain way? While I was doing research on millennials, I came across this snippet from an article.
You'll be much better off focusing on your employees as unique individuals than lumping them into large and meaningless meta-groups. Consultants who work in the fields of management and HR are frequently asked, "What do millennials want at work?" The best answer comes directly from the title of Bruce Pfau's Harvard Business Review Article: "The same things the rest of us do." Benjamin Granger, Ph.D.
So, if we look at trends in technology, child development and workplace evolution, we can point to a few things that researchers seem to think are generally true with the new generations.
1.	Technology: The Millennials and even more so the Post-Millennials have grown up steeped in technology. They haven't had to grow into the internet, they were born into it and are sometimes referred to as "digital natives." The downside of this is that it can result in an impatience and an expectation of immediate results, and quick advancement in the workplace. Of course, this also means that this generation is very tech savvy and brings a lot of know-how and quick thinking to help solve workplace challenges.
2.	Child Development: Children of this generation were included more in family conversations and decision making. Many Baby Boomer parents didn't want to force ideas or punishment on their children, so children were asked for their ideas, asked what consequences should be, and included in family decisions. This may have resulted in the expectation that workplace "elders" will also solicit and listen to their ideas, and that their voices and ideas should have equal merit. Some older workers can find this way of interacting bordering on disrespectful. However, the upside is that they want to contribute and make things better!
3.	Workplace Evolution: In general, the typical workplace has changed in the last few generations. If you look at the values, beliefs and habits of the Traditionalists (now about 73 and older) down to the Millennials (ages 22-37), the workplace has gone through several significant changes. The first is that the workplace has gone from more formal to more informal. Secondly, the workplace has shifted from more hierarchical to more collaborative. Finally, many workplace cultures have shifted from "show up and get your work done" to a desire for "greater employee engagement." This is in part due to the growth in professional development and coaching in the workplace. More and more workplaces are investing in the training, education, growth and well-being of their employees. The way this shows up for the younger generations (Xers and Millennials) is that they want to make a difference and contribute. They want to feel like they are contributing to an important mission and vision.
The above 3 trends are no doubt going to continue. By 2020 Millennials will make up 50% of the workplace. When you focus on the positive aspects of the above 3 trends, quick thinking, greater collaboration and wanting to make a difference, are all amazing skills and values to bring to the workplace. There is always pain in adapting and doing things differently. If those of us over 37 can change our ways of thinking and take the good with the perceived "bad," I think we will find that the innovation, passion and skill of the "youngers" outweighs the discomfort of having to do things a little differently.
In conclusion, here are 7 specific things that consultant Michael McQueen advises us to do to get the best out of Millennials in the workplace.
1.	Put the Relationship before the Role. They are loyal to people. "I don't care how much you know until I know how much you care." Caring about them as people and being authentic and genuine will build trust.
2.	Keep them challenged. This is the most important thing to them – provide them training, educational opportunities and opportunities for advancement. They don't want to get bored. They will be more engaged and stay longer if you keep them challenged.
3.	Make Flexibility a Priority. This is the next most important thing to them. Think about times, locations, flexible schedules. What is the culture you have in your team and your organization? Do you encourage and make space for work place flexibility?
4.	Give Regular Positive Feedback. Yes, you are paying them, but everyone wants acknowledgement and to know that they are contributing. This generation is used to external validation. 60% want positive feedback at least once a day, 35% said 3-4 times a day would be even better. If you are a task-oriented leader (D or C in the DiSC), you will need to stretch to look for and give feedback about what is working.
5.	Embrace Their Ideas. They can bring in a lot of creativity and innovation. Take it with stride, they are not trying to take over or turn the whole workplace upside down. Don't take it personally that they might be questioning, "why do we do it this way?" See it as an opportunity for innovation and collaboration.
6.	Be Values Driven. 86% of this generation said they would leave an organization if there is not a good values match. Are your values defined? Do you walk your talk as a leader?
7.	Adopt the Role of Coach. They are looking for mentoring. As a leader, do you have training to be able to coach your employees? Do you know the difference between coaching, managing and mentoring? Do you have a formal mentoring program? How are you harnessing the energy of your younger people? Do you see them as competent?

The Giants have been quietly pushing Johnny Cueto's start back for several days now.
But ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Diamondbacks, which he was originally scheduled to start, the team placed him on the 10-day disabled list after manager Bruce Bochy revealed that the shimmying right-hander sustained a left ankle injury during a workout last week that continues to nag.
Rookie Tyler Beede will make his Major League debut Tuesday in Cueto's stead, and Bochy said that Andrew Suarez is likely to make his big league debut in a start Wednesday. Steven Okert will take Cueto's spot on the roster and will be available in Tuesday night's game from the bullpen.
Cueto joins pitchers Madison Bumgarner (fractured left pinky), Jeff Samardzija (right pectoral strain), Mark Melancon (right elbow flexor strain) and Julian Fernandez (Tommy John) on the disabled list.

The New York Police department has been using CIA style techniques on it's own citizenry for over a decade. The department has used tactics like this back in the 1960's against anti war protest groups. (BOSS) Bureau of Special Services infiltrated such groups and gathered information on their members. This information was not just used and held by the police department but was also give to various licensing groups such as the bar admissions committee. This resulted in many people due their political affiliations from gaining employment or licensing for their desired careers.
Today we have police running similar operations in New York, Cleveland, Boston, Minneapolis, Detroit, Portland (Oregon) and Washington D.C. Pretty much any city that has a Muslim population of any size. The reasons for these measures are often less than altruistic and more about a power grab and the ability of the powers that be (PTB) being able control a population when they decide enough is enough and take action against the corporatism and political shenanigans that are going on at the Federal, State and even local level.
Anti-Gun, enemy of liberty New York Mayor Micheal Bloomberg had this to say when defending this evil program. "In the end the New York City Police Department's first job is prevention, and I think they've done a very good job of that." We I hate to put a wrench in the works but hey dummy the police are supposed to respond to crimes and then investigate. Not create them and then arrest the same people who they talked into taking part in these crimes.
"Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference unless they use force or fraud against others. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens' lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons".
We as citizens must push the Justice Department, Congress, city councils across the nation to investigate this actions and put a stop to them. Otherwise you could be their next target!


These Burner TPs are primarily a distance ball. They have an "HPF 1000 SpeedMantle169" which increases ball speed and reduces spin from your driver, but increases iron spin. ("DUHHH... HOW DO IT KNOW?") The cover is made of iothane and is very durable. The ball has a soft feel compared to a Top Flite or a Pinnacle, but not when compared to the TP Black and the TP Red.
I would recommend these balls for the mid to low handicappers that aren't quite ready to blow $40 to $50 a dozen on premium golf balls. These are the next best thing. The ball is a bit harder, and won't have the same sweet feel around the green as the premium balls, but it will certainly go far and spin on the green.
Finally, if you do want to consider the next step up, take a look at the TP Black and the TP Red. They are very similar balls, only the Red doesn't spin as much on the green with your approach shots.

Liberty Puerto Rico wins Ookla broadband speed test for 4th straight year
The Speedtest Award is based on analysis by Ookla of 2.3 million samples taken with Speedtest, which were carried out by consumers in Puerto Rico during the first six months of 2020.
For the fourth year in a row, Liberty Puerto Rico has received the 2020 Speedtest Award as Puerto Rico's "Fastest Fixed Network," the company announced.
Liberty won the title this year with a Speed Score of 52.94, which is well above Liberty's 47.08 Speed Score last year and that of other internet service providers on the island, it said.
Liberty also got top download and upload speeds of 148.81 Mbps and 20.02 Mbps, respectively. The Speedtest Award is based on analysis by Ookla of 2.3 million samples taken with Speedtest, which were carried out by consumers in Puerto Rico during the first six months of 2020.
"Upgrading and investing in our network's capacity has been a priority for us, especially during high usage periods such as the COVID-19 situation. Receiving Ookla's Speedtest Award as the fastest fixed internet provider in Puerto Rico for four years in a row fills us with pride," said Naji Khoury, president and CEO of Liberty Puerto Rico.
"Having won this distinction after the hurricanes, the earthquakes and now the COVID-19 pandemic during which Puerto Rico needed optimum bandwidth connection to work and study efficiently from home, makes us very happy because it is a validation of the effective and hard work of our entire team. It also reflects that consumers have been adopting our new and higher speed offerings," he said.
Speedtest Award winners are determined using a Speed Score that incorporates a measure of each provider's download and upload speeds to rank network speed performance. Because most of the data transferred over the internet involves downloading, 90% of the final Speed Score is attributed to download speed and the remaining 10% to upload speed.
The Speed Score uses a modified trimean to demonstrate the download and upload speeds that are available across a provider's network. Ookla takes speeds from the 10th percentile, 50th percentile (used as the median) and 90th percentile, then combines them in a weighted average using a 1:8:1 ratio, respectively. Ookla places more emphasis on the median because that is the speed most customers experience on a daily basis.
Speedtest by Ookla users perform a Speedtest that measures the performance of both fixed and mobile operators, then they analyze and reveal the results.

It's time to say goodbye to paper-based referrals. Triad HealthCare Network (THN) is launching a new referral management system that eliminates cumbersome, paper-based processes and makes it easy for all THN practices to initiate, receive and manage referrals online.
The new Internet-based solution is designed and delivered by Greensboro-headquartered Proficient Health. The company's online portal offers a simple and affordable way to bridge the many systems used across THN – making it possible for us to share information seamlessly and securely. In fact, it creates what is believed to be the nation's largest community of connected healthcare providers.
When it's time to create a referral, you can simply log in and easily transmit a referral using your EMR data. No more printing and faxing are required. You can choose a provider, share documents, organize and store information, send and receive HIPAA-compliant messages, generate reports, and export patient information directly into your practice's electronic medical records system of choice.

Korg M1 Page
The M1 was and still is a popular and widely used digital synthesizer and music workstation. The M1 features built-in AI Synthesis for the full digital generation and processing using 4MB of PCM sampled and synthesized waveforms which can be shaped using analog-style editing. The M1 is capable of creating acoustic instruments with clarity, nice digital sounds, and good buzzy techno sounds. The M1 is sort of like a workstation-version of the Roland D-50.
In addition to its acclaimed sound, it has a somewhat sophisticated 8-track sequencer. It holds 10 songs and 100 patterns and up to 7,700 notes, and offers full quantizing and editing. Full MIDI implementation suites the M1 ideally for studio production and MIDI system use. Up to 8 parts of multitimbrality with the 8 track sequencer makes for a powerful machine. Add to that a host of digital multi-effects and you've got one of the most widely and professionally used Korg synthesizers around.
UPGRADES: The EXK-M1 optional ROM expansion kit doubles the PCM waveform memory to 8MB (275 multi-sampled sounds) for even greater sonic possibilities. The EX-M1R is the same upgrade but designed for the M1R (rack version). That's right, there's a rack version of the M1 available as the M1R as well.
The M1 has been used by 808 State, Banco De Gaia, Ken Ishii, Depeche Mode, Fluke, The Cure, The Orb, The KLF, Plastikman, Bomb The Bass, Gary Numan, Robert Miles, Mike Oldfield, Kitaro, Rick Wakeman, Rod Argent, Joe Zawinul, Patrick Moraz, Pet Shop Boys, Vangelis, the Cranberries, Sin, and Jellyfish.

I know I've been quite absent from this blog in 2013. I have reasons that mostly consist of being super busy and not having the time I normally have for reading.
2014 is a new year and for the most part I won't be anywhere even as close to as busy as I was last year. So this means much more reading and I can not wait!
Do you have your reading planned out for the year? I currently do not but I plan on making a "loose" list of books I'd love to read this year and pick from it as I go.
Another goal for this year is to finally get all my book reviews off my other everyday blog and solely have all my book reviews here from now on.
I look forward to interacting much more this year with the booking community and all of you out there who stop by!

I am offering an app for Windows 10 currently. I am experimenting to port it to Xamarin Forms. This would allow me to offer the same app to Windows 10, to Windows 10 Mobile, to Android and to iOS. Furthermore I could support Xbox one, macOS and Linux, too. However, there are some specialties on each platform slowing down the development.
Which platforms are you interested in most?

scohen1@css.edu
Wau Bulan
Arr. Tracy Wong
Cypress Choral Music CP1537
SA (divisi), percussion
Venturing into Malaysian folk music is made accessible through this primarily two-part SA piece. Take care to plan for time in perfecting the movements before adding an additional layer of singing. The opening sustained drone is an excellent way to explore vocal placement, as well as singing confidently into dissonances. Movement and introductive material may present a challenge for singers (one which they'll be proud of achieving), but beyond this is quite accessible in its canonic nature.
The Waking
Giselle Wyers
Santa Barbara Music Publishing SBMP 1053
SSA, piano
Spring is in full focus with this catchy melody and underlying unexpected harmonic shifts. Singers will enjoy the beauty of this text and while continually taking care to constantly adjust in balancing to the melody. The continual pulse of the accompaniment propels the voices forward. Careful attention to the line is absolutely essential, as the nature of the melodic line can be lost due to unintended emphasis of lesser important words.
Tottoyo
Cristian Grases
Gentry Publication JG2436
SSA, with soloist and piano
Fun and playful, Grases captures the story of a boy who doesn't want to come inside from playing (and who ends up hiding at the end of the piece!). Relatively simple harmonies and diatonic throughout, Tottoyo has the perfect blend of accessibility and spirit for a younger ensemble ready to explore intermediate harmonies. Singers can readily be involved in the process of deciding how to tell the story by engaging the audience through movement.
Always Keep This Close
Zacharay J. Moore
SSAA, piano, opt. strings
An excellent concert closer or graduation piece, the text reminds us of our interconnectedness to each other and our dependence on each other in finding ourselves. Careful attention to the subtle nuances of phrasing and chord balance is essential in allowing this piece to shine. Strong leaders in each section are necessary to execute multiple divisi, but it is a piece worth taking on, as challenging moments are weighted against unison melodic material in every voice throughout the piece.
Sililiza
Jim Papoulis, ed. Franciso Núñez
SSAA, djembe, agogo, shaker
SA (divisi), piano, percussion
An exciting celebration built on African, American, and Latin rhythmic roots. Primarily in Swahili, with a few Spanish phrases, this piece promotes the concepts of strength through listening to all and seeking change through the desire to be heard. The rhythms may appear intimidating at first, but are accomplishable if started slow. The opening placement of the [i] vowel encourages immediate and natural focus of tone that can be carried throughout the piece. This piece inherently demands utilizing the full range of the treble voice to create a successful performance.
Andrea Ramsey
MusicSpoke
SSA, djembe
Gardenia Bruce's text provides a powerful opportunity for dialogue in the choral setting. Unison vocal lines breaking into poignant tertiary and quartal harmonies emphasize the text, allowing for singers to express meaning through weight, syllabic stress, and commitment to intensity. Part writing is accessible for intermediate level, creating a chance to discuss the meaning of beauty as an individual and within societal expectation at many levels. An exceptional piece in building tone.

Google has joined Yahoo, software site Tucows and filtering firm Cloudmark in signing up to use Return Path's now formally launched Domain Assurance service which the company claims will turn the screw on phishing and brand-hijacking spam.
The service is based on the observation that while the modern email delivery depends on authentication schemes such as Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), companies have little way of monitoring this across a multitude of domains this in order to spot problems.
In some cases, ISPs might block legitimate email because it has not authenticated properly or not block it because of uncertainty over its status. Into this gap jump spammers looking to use well-known brands - for instance those claiming to be from banks - to send plausible-looking phishing spam.
Enterprises subscribing to Domain Assurance audit their authentication by submitting email server IP addresses and domains to an audit list, which is then checked against failure statistics supplied by ISPs, including now Google.
The companies can view this data using a dashboard, spotting email from their domains which is not being properly authenticated, possibly by a marketing partner, as well as get insight into spoofing problems.
With an audit complete, they can pass back a request to ISPs to block all email that cannot authenticate safe in the knowledge that are not harming their own activities. They also have a clearer idea of which domains need to be taken down.
ISPs such as Google and Yahoo gain from the system even though they do not pay to use it because in the long run their servers and users will, in theory, receive fewer fraudulent emails.
"Currently companies can only react to a phishing attack, Domain Assurance changes the game by blocking phishing emails before they get delivered to the customer mailbox," said Return Path's president, George Bilbrey.
A key issue for the service is scale - the more customers, the better the blocking that can be carried out by ISPs. But it also needs large ISPs because there are what provides data on authentication problems and spoofing. The company currently claims that around 2,500 enterprises use the service.
In fact elements of the service has existed for some years and the formal launch of Domain assurance reflects its confidence that it has now reached a critical mass to offer more integrated services.

Studying in Venice and conducting research with health and exercise science professors Peter Brubaker and Anthony Marsh set Wake Forest graduate Robert Musci ('12) on a course toward winning a Fulbright scholarship for the 2015-2016 academic year.
"Both professors have been terrific friends and mentors to me these past years. I've been so fortunate to have them guiding and supporting me through past and current projects," said Musci, who earned his master's degree at Colorado State University and will study physical activity in older adults in Italy with the Fulbright award.
"I don't think I would have ever majored in health and exercise science, gone to Venice, or gotten a Fulbright if it hadn't been for Dr. Brubaker's Human Physiology class," he said. During his undergraduate years, Musci conducted research with Brubaker and Marsh, including a study in collaboration with the Wake Forest School of Medicine that gave him a lot of experience working with an older adult population. Marsh mentored his honors thesis.
Musci is among nine Wake Forest seniors and recent graduates awarded Fulbright grants this year. From researching public health in Nigeria to teaching English in the Czech Republic, they will travel to countries around the world. Including this year's winners, 102 Wake Forest graduates have been named Fulbright scholars.
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program — the most prestigious international exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government — offers opportunities for students and young professionals to conduct research or teach English in more than 155 countries.
A research fellowship last summer in Vietnam, a backpacking trip through Southeast Asia, and a study abroad experience in Ghana led Dung "Dee" Nguyen to apply for a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) in Thailand.
"My experiences made me discover my love for learning about different cultures and my passion for helping others through education," Nguyen said.
She was among four Wake Forest seniors and three recent graduates selected this year for an ETA.
Ade Ilesanmi ('15) will research public health in Nigeria.
Rob Musci ('12) will examine exercise in Italy.
Nancy A Diaz ('13) will teach in Mexico.
Erica Fedor ('13) will teach in the Czech Republic.
Samantha Geary ('15) will teach in Indonesia.
Araceli Morales-Santos ('15) will teach in Brazil.
Dung Nguyen ('15) will teach in Thailand.
Aubrey Peterson ('14) will teach in Vietnam.
Sally Rowland ('15) will teach in South Africa.

Having no skills whatsoever to display, I barely earned the required money by fighting in low-leveled dungeons… at least until I found a hidden dungeon with the hardest difficulty within the D-rank dungeons! In the end, as I was accepting death, I suddenly received a strange power, a quest log that only I could see, a secret to leveling up that only I know about! If I trained in accordance with my quests and hunted monsters, my level would rise. Changing from the weakest Hunter to the strongest S-rank Hunter!

Netflix has officially picked up "Locke & Key" to series, nearly two months after it was first reported the project had moved to the streaming giant from Hulu.
The series is based on the IDW Publishing comic book franchise of the same name by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez. It is a horror/fantasy series that revolves around three siblings who, after the gruesome murder of their father, move to their ancestral home in Massachusetts only to find the house has magical keys that give them a vast array of powers and abilities. Little do they know, a devious demon also wants the keys, and will stop at nothing to attain them. Netflix has ordered a 10-episode first season for the hour-long series.
"Locke & Key" had originally been ordered to pilot at Hulu, who passed on it earlier this year. Netflix is redeveloping the show with new scripts and a new cast.
Hill serves as writer and executive producer on the show, which was developed by Carlton Cuse, Meredith Averill, and Aron Eli Coleite with Averill and Coleite joining the series since it came to Netflix. Cuse and Averill will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. Cuse will executive produce via his Genre Arts banner. Hill and Coleite also wrote the first episode.
The series order brings the end to the eight-year saga to adapt "Locke & Key" for the screen. The show was originally developed as a pilot at Fox before Universal nabbed the rights for a feature adaptation.
