'How Was Your Day'
Beck Hansen (born Bek David Campbell; July 8, 1970), known professionally as Beck, is an American musician, singer, songwriter, rapper, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He rose to fame in the early 1990s with his experimental and lo-fi style, and became known for creating musical collages of wide genre styles. Today, he musically encompasses folk, funk, soul, hip hop, electronic, alternative rock, country, and psychedelia. He has released 13 studio albums (3 of which were independently released), as well as several non-album singles and a book of sheet music.
Born in Los Angeles in 1970, Beck grew towards hip-hop and folk in his teens and began to perform locally at coffeehouses and clubs. He moved to New York City in 1989 and became involved in the city's small and fiery anti-folk movement. Returning to Los Angeles in the early 1990s, he cut his breakthrough single "Loser," which became a worldwide hit in 1994, and released his first major album, Mellow Gold, the same year. Odelay, released in 1996, topped critic polls and won several awards. He released the psychedelic Mutations in 1998, and the funk-infused Midnite Vultures in 1999. The soft-acoustic Sea Change in 2002 showcased a more serious Beck, and 2005's Guero returned to Odelay's sample-based production. The Information in 2006 was inspired by electro-funk, hip hop, and psychedelia; 2008's Modern Guilt was inspired by '60s pop music; and 2014's folk-infused Morning Phase won Album of the Year at the 57th Grammy Awards on February 8, 2015. His thirteenth studio album, Colors, was released in October 2017 after a long production process.
With a pop art collage of musical styles, oblique and ironic lyrics, and postmodern arrangements incorporating samples, drum machines, live instrumentation and sound effects, Beck has been hailed by critics and the public throughout his musical career as being among the most idiosyncratically creative musicians of 1990s and 2000s alternative rock. Two of Beck's most popular and acclaimed recordings are Odelay and Sea Change, both of which were ranked on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The four-time platinum artist has collaborated with several artists and has made several contributions to soundtracks.

'Ramshackle'
Blonde Redhead is an alternative rock band composed of Kazu Makino (vocals, keys/rhythm guitar) and twin brothers Simone and Amedeo Pace (drums/keys and lead guitar/keys/vocals, respectively) that formed in New York City in 1993. The band's earliest albums were noted for their noise rock influences, though their sound evolved by the early 2000s with the releases of Misery is a Butterfly (2004) and 23 (2007), which both incorporated elements of dream pop, shoegaze and other genres. They have released nine regular studio albums and have toured internationally.
'Messenger'
Citizen Cope
Ask him how he knew it was time to record a new studio album and Clarence Greenwood, the trailblazing artist and producer better known as Citizen Cope, has a simple answer: "It was time."
Cope has built an entire career on trusting his gut and following his muse, and if his new album, 'Heroin & Helicopters,' is any indication, his instincts are sharper now than ever before. As technically innovative as it is emotionally resonant, the record arrives at a uniquely challenging moment in modern American culture, when profound political polarization and social divisions seem to grow deeper by the day. Rather than dwell on our differences, though, Cope tunes in to what unites us here, drawing on everything from Chuck Brown and The Beatles to Randy Newman and Bill Withers, aiming his unique brand of urban-folk inwards to reflect on the personal journeys we all undertake to embrace ourselves despite our flaws.
"I think we're all on a mission to find some inner peace," he reflects. "We're all going towards this collective consciousness, and even though it's dark right now, I believe we're going to reach that place together. Peace and harmony and understanding, that's how you combat the darkness, and that's what this record is all about."
While 'Heroin & Helicopters' feels particularly timely, the record's themes have been fixtures of Cope's music since the release of his self-titled debut in 2002. That album was the culmination of years of pursuing his passion. Cope got his musical start in DC before moving to Brooklyn, where he wrote songs while supporting himself on the streets, buying and selling concert and sporting tickets with a cast of characters outside arenas and stadiums. His music spread from fan-to-fan via word of mouth, and over the course of time his songs have become the soundtrack of his fans lives.
The success of Cope's music has always been a slow burn, rather than a flash in the pan. His single "Let The Drummer Kick" eventually went Platinum without any support from commercial radio. The Washington Post has hailed him as "DC's finest export since Marvin Gaye," while Rolling Stone raved that his "uncommon chords and harmonies combine delicate dissonance with unexpected flashes of beauty." In 2004, Cope followed up his self-titled debut with 'The Clarence Greenwood Recordings,' an album Vibe praised as "flawless throughout," gushing that Cope "makes music that feeds your soul…this is one of those CDs you hear at a friend's house and rush out to buy." The collection was largely ignored by mainstream media and never charted, yet the grassroots swell of support kept sales rolling year after year, to the tune of 700,000 copies, and opened the doors to film and television syncs with tracks appearing in Entourage, Sons of Anarchy, Alpha Dog, and more. Songs from the record would go on to be covered by everyone from Carlos Santana and Sheryl Crow to Richie Havens and Rhymefest, and in the years that followed, Cope has headlined all 50 states and shared stages with superstars like Eric Clapton. He cracked the Billboard 200 for the first time with 2006's 'Every Waking Moment,' and then launched his own label to release 2010's 'The Rainwater LP' and 2012's 'One Lovely Day,' his highest charting album to date.
As Cope's career grew, his style of urban-folk never settled into any particular genre in an industry fixated on arbitrary distinctions like radio formats. "I can understand why it didn't go into the cookie-cutter. The music and my life were influenced by growing up in very distinct but different American cultures." Born in Memphis, spending summer months with his great aunt and uncle in a small west Texas town, while being primarily raised in Washington, DC, Cope grew up equally influenced by the production techniques of George Martin, Dr. Dre and Willie Mitchell while listening to everything from Willie Nelson, to John Lennon, Bob Marley, Outkast and A Tribe Called Quest. Artistic boundaries meant nothing.
The 2011 birth of his daughter proved to be an ideal moment to step away from it all and reevaluate what mattered most, both as a songwriter and a man. "It was really important for me to be there with my daughter as she grew up," says Cope. "I took these past several years off of recording mostly just to spend time with her. People say it's not rocket science making records, but there really is a science to making a piece of art that's going to touch people emotionally and have an impact on their lives, and if you're not feeling it, you can't fake it."
Cope's time away from music was also a moment to deal with reflecting and addressing the turmoil he faced surrounding the death of his estranged biological father, who had been physically abusive before abandoning his responsibilities decades earlier. "He was sick and I was able to have a sit down with him before he died," Cope told Lance Armstrong in a poignant conversation for The Forward Podcast. "I had a lot of fear surrounding my father, and when I saw him, I realized I wasn't scared of him as a person. He was just a flawed individual and I saw him in a whole different light. I didn't want to go through life having this anger or hatred, and I don't even know what forgiveness is in that realm, but maybe it's a little bit of forgiving yourself and giving love to yourself."
That kind of self-reflection is at the heart of 'Heroin & Helicopters,' which actually draws its title from a warning Santana shared with Cope one night backstage at The Fillmore. "Stay away from the two H's, Heroin and Helicopters" he said, because they all too often prove fatal for musicians and celebrities. The message resonated with Cope, who saw parallels with a broader culture fixated on shortcuts over self-improvement, on mass production over quality, on greed over empathy.
"We're living in an addicted society," says Cope, "and not just addicted to drugs or alcohol or substances. We're addicted to conflict and fame and social media. We're addicted to getting what we want without working for it, without paying the price."
'Heroin & Helicopters opens with "Duck Confit," a slow-burning and arresting spoken-word meditation that finds Cope looking in as much as he looks out, channeling the uneasy feeling that comes with recognizing your own role in perpetuating the very same social constructs you wish to change. "Where crimes of humanity are concealed and condoned / By self preservation and biblical prophecy...Where you know deep down inside / That something's not right / Like a man killing the mother of his son / Cleaning his shotgun" he says over a simmering organ punctuated with 808 kicks. The track plays out like an overheard prayer, spiritual in its intimacy, and it sets the stage beautifully for a record unafraid to push boundaries and ask uncomfortable questions, questions that transcend any political party or movement and cut to the heart of what it means to be human.
"People try to politicize my music sometimes, but I don't write political records," Cope says definitively. "My music has always been built around consciousness."
The first single "Justice" challenges our very notion of the concept, wondering if we've ever even seen what true righteousness looks like in this world. "The River" castigates and identifies a system built to devalue our lives… "They'll take you down to the river / Leave you down by the river / They'll shoot you down by the river / Leave you to drown by the river." The heavy drum and piano-laden swing of "Sally Walks" is clothed in the story of a lover who's swallowed whole by addiction, but it's not clear if Sally is the lover or the substance itself. Though it would be easy to despair in the face of it all, 'Heroin & Helicopters' insists on defiance, on standing up to power and resisting the force of the invisible hands that seem to guide our every move. "Yella" could almost be a country song, with Cope singing over acoustic guitar and a drum shuffle played by Abe Laboreal, Jr. With lyrics touching on the migration of people from small towns to big cities, Cope uses the analogy of a little league baseball player striking out, ultimately realizing that strength and redemption are gained through struggle, loss and failure. "And the baseball rolls slowly off the pitcher's mound / As I stood in the batter's box once they struck me out / I showed a sign a weakness and I swung my bat / And the fire that once burned yella turned to ash"
"Government / counterfeit / dollar bill / you worship it," Cope sings on "War," an infectious track produced by XZ, who worked closely with him in the studio. The song is a perfect distillation of Cope's brand of wordplay and lyricism, where war not only represents a battlefield, but also alludes to an individual's self-inflicted inner turmoil, moving between the mandated laws of religion and society, and how we reconcile choices within the human psyche.
"Essentially, I'm trying to connect an emotion and lyrics and wrap them up in heavy drums," he explains. "The music isn't hip hop, it isn't reggae, it isn't pop, and it isn't rock and roll. It doesn't necessarily have a home, genre-wise, but it lives in all of those places, it pays respect to all those places."
Respect is ultimately what it all comes down to for Cope: respect for the art, respect for each other, respect for ourselves, respect for our instincts. At the end of the day, we all want the same things, and no matter how much the culture conditions us to believe that peace and happiness can be bought and sold, there's no price tag because they come from within. Change, growth, and satisfaction require patience, work, and love. Seven years in the making, 'Heroin & Helicopters' is proof of that.

Damon Albarn OBE (/ˈdeɪmən ˈælbɑːrn/; born 23 March 1968) is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer, best known as the frontman and primary lyricist of the rock band Blur and as the co-founder, lead vocalist, instrumentalist, and primary songwriter of the virtual band Gorillaz.
Raised in Leytonstone, East London, and around Colchester, Essex, Albarn attended the Stanway School, where he met guitarist Graham Coxon and formed Blur, releasing their debut album Leisure in 1991. After spending long periods touring the US, Albarn's songwriting became increasingly influenced by British bands from the 1960s. The result was the Blur albums Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993), Parklife (1994) and The Great Escape (1995). All three albums received critical acclaim while Blur gained mass popularity in the UK, aided by a Britpop chart rivalry with Oasis. Subsequent albums such as Blur (1997), 13 (1999), and Think Tank (2003) incorporated influences from lo-fi, art rock, electronic and world music. These were followed by The Magic Whip (2015), Blur's first studio album in 12 years.
Albarn formed the virtual band Gorillaz in 1998 with comic book artist Jamie Hewlett. Drawing influences from hip hop, dub, pop, trip hop, and world music, Gorillaz released their self-titled debut album in 2001 to worldwide success, spawning successful follow-ups Demon Days (2005), Plastic Beach, The Fall (both released in 2010), Humanz (2017), The Now Now (2018) and the first season of their Song Machine project, Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez (2020). Although Albarn is the only permanent musical contributor, Gorillaz albums typically feature collaborations from a range of artists. Gorillaz are cited by the Guinness Book of World Records as the "Most Successful Virtual Band".
Albarn's other notable projects have included two supergroups: the Good, the Bad & the Queen and Rocket Juice & the Moon, working with the non-profit organization Africa Express, which he co-founded, and composing film soundtracks. He also scored the stage productions Monkey: Journey to the West (2008), Dr Dee (2012) and Wonder.land (2016). His debut solo studio album Everyday Robots was released in 2014, with his second The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows released in 2021.
In 2008, The Daily Telegraph ranked Albarn number 18 in their list of the "100 most powerful people in British culture". In 2016, Albarn received the Ivor Novello Award for Lifetime Achievement from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors. He was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2016 New Year Honours for services to music. In 2020, Albarn was granted Icelandic citizenship.

Fugazi (/fuˈɡɑːzi/; foo-GAH-zee) is an American rock band that formed in Washington, D.C. in 1986. The band consists of guitarists and vocalists Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto, bassist Joe Lally, and drummer Brendan Canty. It is noted for its style-transcending music, DIY ethical stance, manner of business practice, and contempt for the music industry.
Fugazi has performed numerous worldwide tours and produced six studio albums, a film and a comprehensive live series, gaining the band critical acclaim and success around the world. Fugazi has been on an indefinite hiatus since 2003.
Formation and early years (1986–1989)
After the hardcore punk group Minor Threat dissolved, MacKaye (vocals and guitar) was active with a few short-lived groups, most notably Embrace. He decided he wanted a project that was "like The Stooges with reggae", but was wary about forming another band after Embrace's breakup. MacKaye recalled, "My interests were not necessarily to be in a band, but to be with people who wanted to play music with me."
MacKaye recruited ex-Dag Nasty drummer Colin Sears and bass guitarist Lally, and the trio began practicing together in September 1986. After a few months of rehearsals, Sears returned to Dag Nasty and was replaced by Canty (earlier of Rites of Spring). One day, Picciotto, Canty's Rites of Spring bandmate, dropped by during a practice session to see how his friend was getting along; he later admitted he secretly harbored the idea of joining the group. But Picciotto was disappointed that there seemed to be no place for him.
After some uncertainty from Canty about what he wanted to do with his future, the trio regrouped and booked their first show at the Wilson Center in early September 1987. The group still needed a name, so MacKaye chose the word "fugazi" from Mark Baker's Nam, a compilation of stories of Vietnam War veterans, it there being a slang acronym for "Fucked Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In [into a body bag]".
The band began inviting Picciotto to practices. Inspired by use of a foil in hip hop, Picciotto sang backup vocals. After his band Happy Go Licky broke up, he became more involved with Fugazi. MacKaye eventually asked Picciotto to become a full member, and he accepted.
Fugazi EP & Margin Walker – 13 Songs (1988–1989)
Fugazi embarked on its first tour in January 1988. In June 1988 the band recorded its debut EP Fugazi with producer Ted Niceley and producer/engineer Don Zientara (who became a longtime collaborator), and shortly afterward embarked on an arduous tour of Europe.
At the tour's conclusion in December, the band recorded songs for its intended debut album. But the band was spent from touring and found the resulting sessions were unsatisfactory. The track list was cut down to an EP and released as Margin Walker the next year. Both EPs were eventually combined into the 13 Songs release in late 1989. Upon the band's return from Europe, Picciotto, unsatisfied with singing, began playing guitar too.

Carreño Festival no more -- at least in Sarasota
/ Monday, June 8, 2015
The Carreño Dance Festival, a summer intensive workshop for aspiring ballet professionals held at the Sarasota Opera House for the past four years, will not take place here this year -- if it takes place at all.
The festival's namesake, Jose Manuel Carreño, artistic director of Ballet San Jose, confirmed through a spokesperson that the workshop "will not be happening in Sarasota."
The Sarasota Ballet, which stepped in to co-produce the festival last year after Carreno's original co-founder, Robert de Warren, put the workshop "on hiatus" in late 2013, confirmed it would not collaborate on this year's event. Artistic Director Iain Webb said his company's scheduled performances at the prestigious Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in Massachusetts the second week of August -- and the rehearsals that will precede them -- would preclude its participation this year and that a contracted summer tour would also make a partnership impossible in 2016.
"I would have no hesitation about working with Jose again," said Webb. "It was a good experience and if the company wasn't working and we were free to do it, I would have done it straight away. But certainly for this year and next, we're not free, nor is the studio space."
Through Greg Parry, the marketing director at Ballet San Jose, Carreno said alternative locations were being considered, but that no other details were available.
Ballet San Jose has faced considerable financial and organizational hurdles since Carreno, a native of Cuba, took on his first managerial position two years ago, following his retirement as a principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre. A last-ditch fundraising drive in March that raised $550,000 allowed the company to keep its doors open, but it faces the necessity of raising an additional $3.5 million by October in order to restructure its business model and re-brand itself as Silicon Valley Ballet.
Webb admitted his company took a "bit of a hit" financially from last year's workshop, which was pulled together belatedly after de Warren withdrew, citing health and administrative challenges, in December of 2013. Due to Carreño's obligations in California, the Sarasota Ballet's full schedule of performance commitments last spring and summer, and what Webb called a "complete lack of any proper business information passed on" from the previous festival administrators, promotional efforts were belated and scattered. Consequently, last year the workshop drew far fewer participants and its finale performances, much smaller audiences.
Webb said, however, he would not rule out the possibility of hosting the festival again, should the opportunity present itself.
"I still think the idea of a three-week workshop, where the two directors have an opportunity to see dancers and how they might fit in, is a good thing for both the companies and the dancers," he said

The news of the festival's possible demise was but the latest bump in its erratic history.
Carreño founded the event with de Warren, a long time acquaintance and the artistic director of the Sarasota Ballet preceding Webb, five years ago -- just before Carreño retired from the stage and just after a three-year non-compete clause in de Warren's retirement contract with the ballet expired. The original mission of the organization was to both provide a high-caliber pre-professional summer workshop for aspiring dancers, and to present lectures, events and performances featuring notable guests throughout the year.
In 2011, its initial year, the festival drew an impressive faculty, from such revered institutions as the Cuban National Ballet School, and more than 100 young dancers to Sarasota for an August workshop at the Sarasota Opera House that culminated in a performance starring Carreño and ABT ballerina Julie Kent.
But by the following summer, there were already signs of instability. While the workshop was still well attended, appearances by two big name guests scheduled to appear at the culminating "Festival of Stars" performance -- Misty Copeland of American Ballet Theatre and Tara Domitras of San Francisco Ballet -- were cancelled without prior notice to ticketholders.

The 2013 festival took place just weeks after Carreño had been named to his position at Ballet San Jose. While he was still able to teach for part of the festival, the number of students attending fell to 65 and the guest stars for the finale gala were not high profile dancers.
In early December of that year, de Warren announced that the festival was going "on hiatus," but that its umbrella nonprofit, the Sarasota International Dance Festival, which he serves as president, would continue. Carreno, who had reportedly always felt the festival ought to be allied with a professional company, then reached out to Webb.
"The city of Sarasota is close to my heart and I'm thrilled to help this program reach its full potential," said Carreño when the new partnership was announced. "Collaborating with the Sarasota Ballet and working directly with Iain Webb has been a long time dream of mine."

De Warren countered by announcing a new "mission" for SIDAF, focusing on "Dance and the Living Arts." In April of last year, the organization produced a performance featuring contemporary dancers, including the acclaimed L'il Buck, a hip hop artist. It was well attended, but a star-studded gala announced for last September was abruptly cancelled. Recently, SIDAF sold a portable dance floor acquired in 2012 through a $35,000 grant from the Selby Foundation for use at the festival in order to pay creditors, however, a member of the board maintains the organization is planning future projects.
Meanwhile, the Sarasota Ballet, continues to flourish, bolstered by an avid fan base, generous donations and continuing critical acclaim. Its first appearance at Jacob's Pillow, a summer "dance mecca" that draws an international audience, will be followed in October by a 25th anniversary season that features the U.S. and company premieres of several works by renowned choreographers.

This section describes the structure of the UDP packets exchanged between the QSPY Back-End and the various front-ends, such as QUTest and QSpyView (blue arrows in the sequence diagram below). The UDP interface is implemented in the qspy.tcl script.
For better readability, the qspy.tcl script uses a convention in which UDP packets to and from the Target (red arrows) are called Records, while the word Packets is used for communication to and from the QSPY Back-End (blue arrows). For consistency, the following sections apply the same naming convention: Records for Target communication and Packets for QSPY communication.
1-byte Sequence-No, which increments by 1 for every packet and wraps naturally from 0xFF to 0. The sequence number allows QSpyView to detect any data discontinuities.
Records to and from the Target have Record-IDs in the range 0..127. Specifically, QS records originated from the Target are enumerated in QSpyRecords. Records destined to the Target are enumerated in QSpyRxRecords.
Records to and from the QSPY Back-End have record-IDs in the range 128..255. Specifically, records destined to QSPY are enumerated in QSpyCommands.
optional Data Payload, which can be either text or binary, depending on the UDP Channel to which the front-end attaches. The various Data Payloads for different packets are described in the separate sections below.
A Front-End can choose the "data channels" when "attaching" to the QSPY host application (see qspy::attach()). The data channels are not exclusive, meaning that a front-end can "attach" simultaneously to both binary and text channels. In this case, the front-end would receive each packet as both binary and text formats.
The binary-channel (1) is used by the QSpyView GUI front-end, while the text-channel (2) is used by the QUTest Unit Testing front-end.
To understand the following detailed UDP packet descriptions, it is highly recommended to read the Tcl documentation for the binary Tcl command.
This packet has Record-ID==INFO and has no Data Payload.

Remote Sensing Tutorials
Sea Ice
For people living in northern environments, ice is a common phenomenon that affects our local activities. Most of us however, don't consider its larger regional or global implications. Ice covers a substantial part of the Earth's surface and is a major factor in commercial shipping and fishing industries, Coast Guard and construction operations, and global climate change studies. Polar sea ice seasonally covers an even larger area, roughly equal in size to the North American continent, 25 million km².
Its extensive distribution means that sea ice plays a large role in the albedo of the earth. Albedo is a term referring to the measure of reflectivity of the Earth's surface. Ice and snow are highly reflective and changes in their distribution would affect how much solar energy is absorbed by the earth. Under warming conditions, the ice would melt, and less incoming energy would be reflected, thereby potentially increasing the warming trend. The opposite may also be true - an increase of ice due to cooler conditions would reflect even more of the incoming solar energy, potentially propagating even colder conditions. Of course these potential changes in sea ice distribution are of concern to scientists studying global climate change, as are sea ice interactions with the ocean and atmosphere.
During winter in the northern hemisphere, ice creates a substantial barrier to both lake and ocean going vessels trying to reach ports or navigating along coastlines. Ice floes, pack ice and icebergs create potential hazards to navigation, while landfast ice hinders access to the shore. Ice breakers are often used to create routes for ships to follow from the open water to their ports. In Canada, two important locations for this type of operation are the Gulf of St. Lawrence /Great Lakes and the Canadian Arctic. The Gulf is the main route for international cargo vessels headed for Montreal and Québec, and is affected by ice through the winter and spring. Canada's Arctic is home to mineral and hydrocarbon reserves that require shipping for construction equipment, supplies, and transport of resources to refineries and populated markets. In addition, the main method of re-supply for northern communities is by sea. In both areas, information regarding ice conditions, type, concentration and movement are required.
To address these demands, ice analysis charts, daily ice hazard bulletins, seasonal forecasts, and tactical support for observation are provided. In Canada, the Canadian Ice Service is responsible for acquiring and distributing this information and appropriate products. They also maintain an ice information archive which contains useful data for environmental impact assessments, risk assessment, short-term and seasonal route planning for ships, efficient resource transportation and infrastructure development.
Remote sensing data can be used to identify and map different ice types, locate leads (large navigable cracks in the ice), and monitor ice movement. With current technology, this information can be passed to the client in a very short timeframe from acquisition. Users of this type of information include the Coast Guard, port authorities, commercial shipping and fishing industries, ship builders, resource managers (oil and gas / mining), infrastructure construction companies and environmental consultants, marine insurance agents, scientists, and commercial tour operators.
Examples of sea ice information and applications include:
ice concentration
ice type / age /motion
iceberg detection and tracking
surface topography
tactical identification of leads: navigation: safe shipping routes/rescue
ice condition (state of decay)
historical ice and iceberg conditions and dynamics for planning purposes
pollution monitoring
meteorological / global change research
"...GPS = Good Protection Sidekick..."
Accidents like the sinking of the Titanic are virtually eliminated now, with iceberg reconnaissance (provided by the International Ice Patrol) and GPS navigation onboard ships. And even if a ship did collide with an iceberg, search and rescue operations using remote sensing and GPS navigation could save many lives in such an incident.

Fundamentals of Remote Sensing - Introduction


Live music adds a special something to a wedding and the ability to choose the repertoire enables a couple to personalise the occasion in the same way that the choice of readings does.
The Pfretzner Quartet can be playing as your guests arrive for the ceremony, creating a warm ambience. Specific repertoire can then be chosen for the key points of the ceremony: the entrance of the bride, signing of the register and the departure of the bride and groom.
After the ceremony, The Pfretzner Quartet can move to where you are having pre-reception drinks and entertain your guests whilst the photographs are being taken. A string quartet is one of the most portable ensembles and can move location with minimum fuss and disruption to those around. When the weather is good, we are happy to play outside providing there is adequate shade to protect ourselves and most importantly our instruments.
The start of the wedding breakfast is usually a suitable point for the quartet to finish but some couples like the music to continue on through the meal, often up to speeches when a discreet exit can be made.
The addition of live music during drinks and dinner can enhance any corporate event and creates the perfect convivial atmosphere. The music can be tailored according to the theme of an event and there is always something for everyone. The Pfretzner Quartet knows the importance of presentation and its sophisticated elegance captures the mood of an occasion.

Not to be confused with the Secretary of State for Justice, the second-highest-authority of the Ministry of Justice of Spain.
Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Justice is a senior position in the Cabinet of the United Kingdom, held in conjunction with the office of Lord Chancellor since it was created in 2007, replacing the former post of Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs. On 9 May 2007, the Department for Constitutional Affairs was abolished, and a Ministry of Justice (MoJ) was created in its place. The Ministry of Justice is also responsible for certain functions transferred from the Home Office.

The current Secretary is David Gauke, appointed in January 2018.
CreationEdit
The then Lord Chancellor, Charlie Falconer, was appointed to the post of Secretary of State for Justice on the abolition of his position as Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs. The Home Secretary, John Reid, told Parliament that future Secretaries of State for Justice would be MPs rather than peers. Jack Straw took over this department on 28 June 2007, following the selection of Gordon Brown as leader of the Labour Party and Prime Minister and left office on the resignation of Gordon Brown after the May 2010 general election. He was replaced by Conservative MP Ken Clarke. In the Cabinet reshuffle of August 2012 Chris Grayling was promoted to Lord Chancellor, and, by convention, Secretary of State for Justice. He was the first Lord Chancellor to have no legal background or expertise. After the 2015 general election, the position was given to former Government Chief Whip Michael Gove. Michael Gove was replaced after Theresa May became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on 14 July 2016 and succeeded by Liz Truss. Following the 2017 general election, which resulted in a minority Conservative government, David Lidington was appointed Secretary of State for Justice, who in turn was succeeded by David Gauke on 8 January 2018.

Pharrell Williams Endorses Hillary: She Lies, But So Do You
We're only days away from Election Day, and most people have already decided who they're going to vote for — but not everybody. Somewhere, there must be someone waiting to see if their favorite celebrity is going to make a last-minute endorsement.
Good news for fans of Pharrell Williams: He's ready to tell all his fans how to vote. Unsurprisingly, he's asking you to cast your ballot for Hillary Clinton.
Williams support of Clinton isn't exactly new information. He made his support for Clinton known way back in 2014. This time, however, he's making even less sense.
Despite the fact that Williams is actively advocating for Clinton, even he can't defend her honesty completely. He's just asking that we ignore Clinton's lies.
That's not all the singer had to say. He managed to lace his endorsement with plenty of casual sexism, as well.
See what he said "all women" must do — and what men are guilty of — on the next page:
Joanie Garner
Dumb and Dumber!!!
She is not a good person.
Dolly Samples
Just an idiot who can't think for himself!!! Her lies cause people to die.

Asked if the Prime Minister was trying to reassure people in his speech that he would borrow more than planned, the Prime Minister s Spokesman (PMS) replied that the Prime Minister said that it was the right and responsible thing to do for there to be a temporary increase in borrowing in the face of an economic downturn, but that we would then expect borrowing to fall as a share of national income in the future as the economy started to pick up again.
Asked why the Prime Minister put the key phrase in answer to a question rather than the as part of his speech, the PMS replied that there was no official text of the speech as the Prime Minister was speaking from notes. It was a discursive, interactive event it was what the Prime Minister thought, and he said it.
Asked if the Prime Minister was simply saying that borrowing went up in a recession and that was fine, or was he saying that as an active policy decision by Government we would spend and borrow more than we would in any event have done due to an economic slowdown, the PMS replied that those judgements were judgements for the Chancellor to make in the Pre-Budget Report and the Budget. These judgements could not be looked at in isolation from what was happening as a result of what was happening in the economy. On the point on increased spending, the Prime Minister talked about maintaining spending at this time, and the Chancellor and Chief Secretary had talked about the need to re-profile some spending within the three year totals that we had already set out. For this year in terms of the discretionary action we had taken and its impact on borrowing, by far the biggest action we had taken was on the tax side rather on the spending side with the 120 rebate for basic rate taxpayers.
Put that the Institute of Fiscal Studies had said that public debt would rise to up to 50% of GDP, and asked if we recognised that, the PMS replied that we would set out our forecast in the Pre-Budget Report in the normal way.
Asked when the Pre-Budget Report would be, the PMS replied that we did not have an exact date yet.
Asked about the European Investment Bank event later this week, and was this Britain specific, the PMS replied that the European Investment Bank acted across the whole of the EU. The Prime Minister had been talking for some time about the need for the European Investment Bank to bring forward some of its support, particularly for small and medium sized enterprises, and that would benefit companies in the UK as much as it benefited companies elsewhere in Europe. That was what they would be talking about in more detail on Thursday.

THE JOURNEY TO THE RISE OF SKYWALKER BEGINS WITH STAR WARS ADVENTURES #27
Source: IDW | Categories: Star Wars | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a Comment
IDW Publishing proudly announces that October's Star Wars Adventures #27 will debut a three-part storyline telling an untold chapter set between The Last Jedi and the thrilling conclusion to the Skywalker saga, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker!
Issue #27 will debut a three-part monthly storyline by writer John Barber and artistDerek Charm, featuring the mighty Wookiees. With the New Republic devastated, the First Order launches an attack on the planet Kashyyyk, and Chewbacca takes up arms to defend his people!
"It's a thrill and an honor to get to tell this story with the amazing Derek Charm," says Barber. "Chewie's one of my favorite characters ever, for as long as I can remember. Having the opportunity to tell his story to a new generation of Star Wars fans – and all this leading up to the conclusion to the Skywalker saga — is one of the biggest thrills of my career."
Charm says, "I've been lucky enough to work within a lot of Star Wars eras in this series, but doing something in the current, post-Last Jedilandscape is really exciting. The fact that it focuses on Chewbacca and what he's been up to between these movies is more so."
A backup tale by writer Michael Moreci and artist Tony Fleecs will see a team-up between the beloved droids of the Star Wars series – R2-D2, C-3PO, and BB-8 – as they embark on a desperate recruiting campaign for the Resistance.
"What I love so much about this story is that it gives the droids a mission that's specific to who they are as characters and not just droids," says Moreci. "This is a fun, fun adventure, but I also think it's important to these characters as they, like everyone else, find their way in the galaxy."
Fleecs says, "I probably don't love anything more than I love Star Wars – and in particular, the 1985 Droids cartoon and the accompanying comic book featuring art by the great John Romita Sr. That's the energy I'm bringing to this project – vibes from 1985, Star Comics, John Romita, Nelvana Animation, and Marie Severin, with a healthy dollop of Tony Fleecs thrown in for good measure."
Star Wars Adventures #27 will feature regular covers by Derek Charm and Tony Fleecs, with a special retailer incentive variant available byManuel Bracchi.

THR reports that Harry Styles is the latest actor to go under the sea.
The singer-turned-actor is in early negotiations to play the iconic role of Prince Eric in Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.
The pic, which is being directed by Rob Marshall, is in the throes of casting, having recently found its Ariel with R&B singer Halle Bailey of Chloe x Halle fame. Melissa McCarthy, Jacob Tremblay and Awkwafina are also in talks to be part of Disney's world.
Eric is the human prince who catches Ariel's eye. The mermaid saves the prince from drowning and then makes a deal with the sea witch Ursula to exchange her voice for legs in order for a chance to make him love her. He is key in the final battle against Ursula.
The casting of Styles and Bailey show the studio's intent of making the music a central component of the remake.
MARVEL WINS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT LAWSUIT OVER 'IRON MAN 3' MOVIE POSTER
Source: The Wrap | Categories: Marvel | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a Comment
Marvel Entertainment won a copyright infringement lawsuit on Monday that had claimed the company copied the design of their movie poster for Iron Man 3 from another comic.
Horizon Comics Productions sued Marvel in April 2016 saying the image of Robert Downey Jr. kneeling in his Iron Man suit was copied from an image of their character Caliban, also in a crouched, kneeling position for their comic book series Radix.
Horizon claimed in their lawsuit that six Marvel employees were aware of Radix and the drawing of Caliban, with two who have had a "working relationship" with the comic's creators, and influenced the designers of the Iron Man 3 poster.
However, a U.S. district judge in New York, J. Paul Oetken, wrote in his ruling that "there is virtually no evidence in the record that shows any one of these individuals either would have seen the Caliban Drawing or would have been involved in the 'Iron Man 3' Poster design, let alone both." (via The Wrap)
Here are the two images side by side, as recreated in the lawsuit:

VAMPIRELLA ADDS COLLECTIBLE COINS TO BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA!

Vampirella has dominated the comic book page, and now sets her sights on collectible coins! Dynamite is releasing two coins, and each features a stunning artistic take on Vampirella by top artists Stanley "Artgerm" Lau and Lucio Parrillo!
Dynamite's limited edition coins use an innovative colorization technique over top a base of authentic US John F. Kennedy Half-Dollars plated in real 24-karat gold. Packaged with a full-color Certificate of Authenticity and within an acrylic capsule to protect the coin, this currency is in fact legally able to buy a newspaper or bag of chips - but you won't want to do that!
The coin featuring superstar Lucio Parrillo takes its design from Vampirella (2010) #15, with a classic image of Vampi staring down a skull. One of the hottest artists in comics and pop culture illustration today, Artgerm, has his image originating from Vampirella (2019) #2!
The recommended retail price of these coins are $29.99 each. Though to celebrate Vampirella's big 50th anniversary Dynamite is offering them at a special introductory price of $19.69, denoting the year of Vampi's iconic creation and first appearance.
"In our 15 year history, Dynamite has always strived to offer fans not only the highest quality comic books, but also collectibles of all types," said Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher. "Fans were excited about the Red Sonja coins we offered recently, so we knew had to bring our other flagship heroine to this category, with all of the Vampirella hype around Christopher Priest's series, the Vampirella/Red Sonja ongoing and the just announced Vengeance of Vampirella revival."
The Vampirella Lucio Parrillo Collectible Coin and Vampirella Artgerm Collectible Coin will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors' July 2019 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in September 2019.
STEPHEN KING & OWEN KING'S SLEEPING BEAUTIES COMES TO IDW PUBLISHING
Source: IDW | Categories: IDW | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a Comment
IDW Publishing is proud to announce the early 2020 launch ofSleeping Beauties, a captivating comic book series based on the bestselling novel by Stephen King and Owen King. Author Rio Youers (The Forgotten Girl) and artist Alison Sampson (Winnebago Graveyard) will adapt the rich narrative of Sleeping Beauties to a ten-issue limited series under the watchful gaze of Stephen and Owen.
"We are so excited about Rio and Alison's vision for Sleeping Beauties," says Owen King. "We've been fans of Rio's for years and Alison's artwork is simply extraordinary. IDW couldn't have found a better pairing."
To which co-author Stephen King adds, "We're looking forward to seeing our work in this exciting format."
Sleeping Beauties explores a world where women have sunken into a deep, cocooned slumber, their dreams taking them to an idyllic other place. They can only wake if disturbed, which results in violent, feral behavior. Meanwhile, the men have inherited the Earth, their society devolving into barbarism. Provocative and absorbing, Sleeping Beauties is a gripping dark fantasy of gender dynamics, individuality, and toxic masculinity.
"To work on anything with the King name attached is surreal, dizzying, and somewhat terrifying," says Youers. "As soon as my feet touch terra firma, I will focus on my goal: to stay true to the novel's spirit, and to deliver a page-turning, visually impacting experience that will appeal to readers of both Stephen and Owen King's fiction, and to comics fans the world over."
"I'm thrilled to be able to work on Sleeping Beauties," says Sampson. "The story is very suggestive for interesting art, with magical themes interwoven through a very real place setting in Appalachia, and the opportunity to draw some truly diverse people. Places, spaces, gender, bodies, character, relationships, political themes, emotions, a challenging (and almost certainly innovative) design job, and a great story – it's all here. I cannot wait to share what we are making."
"There was something magical about the combination of Stephen King's and Owen King's specific skills on the pages of the Sleeping Beauties novel, an alchemy that resulted in a story so of the moment and yet so timeless," says IDW President & Publisher, Chris Ryall. "Rio and Allison are fashioning a graphic retelling that synthesizes that same sense of wonder while very much making the comic its own thing entirely. We're ecstatic to be doing this with all involved."
TAIKA WAITITI TO DIRECT 'THOR 4'
Source: Hollywood Reporter | Categories: Marvel | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a Comment
THR reports that Taika Waititi is returning to the many worlds of Thor.
Waititi has inked a deal to write and direct a follow-up to his 2017 smash, Thor: Ragnarok.
But his boarding of what would be a fourth installment of the Marvel franchise comes at a cost: Warner Bros.' long-gestating adaptation of Japanese manga Akira.
That project, which was penciled for a May 21, 2021 release and had Waititi testing actors in a worldwide search for talent, is being put on pause indefinitely as the two projects' production dates began to bump up against one another. Script development concerns caused Akira to push back its shooting start, and while some of those have been addressed, say sources, the dates were now too close for comfort.
Chris Hemsworth is expected to reprise his career-defining role as the Asgardian God of Thunder.

I know that a while back we looked into the idea of evolution. I've recently encountered a fairly new argument for the existence of an intelligent designer that I have been very impressed by. It's a concept called 'Irreducible Complexity.' It was originally postulated by Lehigh Professor Michael Behe and I think he argues convincingly for the existence of this intelligent designer. I think you ought to check it out for yourself.


Bioengineering is synonymous to biotechnological engineering, biological engineering and biological systems engineering. All of those disciplines refer to an identical discipline or field of study. Bioengineering refers to the use and applications of different methodologies and concepts for different real life problems.
This discipline use extensively use concepts of physics, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science and information technology along with biological stuffs for getting much effectiveness and efficiency in solving problems. It is actually a hybrid discipline that is formed by combining the different aspects of engineering and biological sciences.
This discipline is of much importance in the modern civilizations, you might guess, in Tyres too: Pirelli, in example, spend a lot of effort in biotechnology to produce environment-respectfully Winter and Summer tyres Life sciences are experiencing their huge and unlimited possibilities with help of bioengineering. It is one of the highest demanding professions in different industrial sectors as well as in contemporary job market. The expertise and knowledge of this discipline is utilized in different sectors of commerce and industry.
Based on the applications of bioengineering, three different fields or subsectors are identified. They are Biotechnology, Biomedicine and Environment. Each of these three fields represents a separate sub discipline under the discipline of bioengineering.
The biotechnology is often used as synonymous to Bioprocessing. Biotechnology studies the reactions of physical and chemical elements with the biological entities to develop better and useful solutions to different real life problems. Processing of food materials for greater utility is done under the biotechnology discipline. Production of yogurts by applying particular kind of bacteria and making wines by manipulating the fruit juices in a sophisticated way etc are studied under this discipline. Ensuring safety and quality of food along with packaging/ moving of food materials are the responsibilities that are imposed on the biotechnologists. Optimum productivity of organisms and précising of Marine /aquatic creatures or plants are managed under the supervision of biotechnology experts.
Medical instruments are designed, developed and tested by the Biomedicine discipline. Pharmaceuticals industries depends on biomedicine discipline for development of medicines that are derived by genetic modification . Different aiding instruments for supporting the movements of disabled persons are developed by using biomedicine expert ices. For example, artificial electric limbs (hands or legs) cannot be reached to present effective status without the use of biomedicine. Biomedicine has been creating effective interfaces for mechanical devices and humans.
Environment is always a concern for every discipline and biomedicine is not an exception to that. Conservations of natural resources and further enhancement of natures' durability is studied under this discipline. The quality and fertility of soils, green house productions system, forest resource management, wildlife protection etc are optimized by applying the knowledge and expertise of this discipline.
For ensuring the optimum use of long time protection of biological entities, the use of bioengineering has no alternative.

George Blaney's Comments on Shabazz
Thread starter aceboon
aceboon
"Since I've been here, he's the best true point guard since Marcus Williams," assistant coach George Blaney told Blue Ribbon Yearbook. "He can create baskets for you without running offense"
http://www.searchingforbillyedelin.com/2011/10/16/2492175/big-east-basketball-preview-uconn-repeat
No doubt he is a purer point guard compared Kemba, but I'm not so sure that's the case when you look back at AJ. The kid was nasty in terms of assists and assist percentage each year. Without looking at the stats, maybe that's because Shabazz's assists seem flashier, and by just watching the games, it does look like his head is on a swivel and always looking to pass first, and AJ's offensive game was more polished.
Hope Shabazz can make the nice leap in shooting percentage that AJ made after his freshman season, and Kemba made after his sophomore season.
I knew George was old, but I'm beginning to wonder about his memory and mental state. Didn't we just have a PG that came a few votes short of POY recently?
Kitaman
George is playing the role of anti-Calhoun. Good cop, bad cop. Bazz though after 4 years may make that statement come true.
How many of us were craving for coach to put Bazz in the games last season? He certainly was a game changer and Kemba's number one asset.
He wasn't commenting on who was the better player, he was speaking strictly on their PG skills. Shabazz still has to prove himself as far as running a team and an offense, but based off what I saw last season Shabazz has better PG insticts than Kemba does. Better vision, a much more natural passer, watching him definitely reminded me of Marcus and AJ.
Reactions: dogfan96
Huskies320
I mean he's not saying best point guard. He's talking about being a "true point guard", which for better or worse, is someone that passes first. Kemba wasn't like that. Kemba is obviously the best
HuskyBballFan
He covered himself by saying "true" point guard, which excludes point guards like Kemba who's main responsibility is to score. He could have just said "best passer" since Marcus Williams.
Ok, I'll say it. Kemba was better as a 2-guard than a point last year, and the team was better with him there and Shabazz running the team.
Now that doesn't mean Shabazz is a better player than Kemba by any stretch. It's just that being a point guard is as much a mentality as it is a skillset. Napier has always come across to me as having that point guard moxie. I think that's what Blaney is referring to here.
I think AJ was more of a pure point guard during his UConn career than Shabazz was his freshman year.
Maybe that will change as Shabazz progresses. If he's shooting more, it's probably a good thing that they're falling for him. AJ had Thabeet to throw it up to, Shabazz now gets Drummond!
Yea I don't think that's debatable, Shabazz did a great job last year but how often was he out there running an offense with Kemba by his side and to bail out the offense with a last second shot at the end of the shot clock when the halfcourt offense stalled. None of us can argue Shabazz is in that class yet just based on his freshmen year but he does have those traits that Marcus and AJ had and Blaney gets to see him everyday in practice so he has a different perspective and expects big things this year.
Shabazz is a stud I think folks will notice when he puts up absurd assist numbers this year. I know its argued on here all the time but I haven't etched in stone 4 years for him. Anything could happen.
I agree that AJ was better running the point his last 2 years than Shabazz was last year. Blaney could consider AJ more of a scoring point, even so as he was our number one "go to" guy.
AJ was really good at breaking down zone defenses and making well-timed entry passes.
In any case, the point right now is that Blaney is trying to build up Shabazz as the team leader--like with Calhoun, don't let facts get in the way of what he is trying to say/accomplish.
I don't know about pure point guard with respect to AJP. He could have been, I just don't have a strong opinion on it.
I do think AJP was our most balanced PG since KEA. He could score whenever he needed to, could run the offense, was a great leader and a very efficient passer. I think he's underrated in the UConn pantheon of guards.
We'll see how much Shabazz grows into his role this year. I've high hopes/expectations for him.

AJ was a very balanced pg. His senior year was certainly his best. I can only imagine how that season would have gone if he didn't have that injury the season prior and JD didn't go down in the Cuse game.
The problem of evaluating one player at a position vs. other players at a position is that the supporting cast is different. How many more assists per game would AJ have gotten if Thabeet did not have the bad habit of bringing the ball down before going strong to the basket. Or if Thabeets positioning and footwork were better? There is no way of proving my observation, but I feel Thabeet's rawness on offense cost AJ 3 or 4 assists per game.
I'm hoping AD will be better offensively than HT. And hopefully that translates into more assists for SN.
Yea AJ used to lose at least a couple of assists per game between what you described with Hasheem and Jeff blowing easy dunks/layups. Same deal last year with Shabazz with AO having to gather himself and go up for dunks instead of exploding directly to the rim.
Bazz has a flair and at times he tends to overdo it. Call it confidence or cockiness the team survived it. He is not as good as AJ, but he will be. He has the PG skill set and now he needs to learn the PG mindset. Like AJ he is not a pass only PG, and he will improve his decision making in time. Right now he needs to orchastrate the offense and get everyone on the same page. He will be spoken of in the same breath as AJ and KEA by the time he leaves. He may be the gold standard. I love my Huskies.
Mr. Wonderful said:
Yeah, I understand what George is driving at, but if Kemba had a Kemba type player at the 2G while playing the point, he'd be a pretty darn good PG IMO.
Maybe I'm wrong and Kemba is closer to Ben Gordon than Marcus Williams, but I think Kemba is what I consider a 1/2 Combo PG who can score compared to a 2/1 combo who finds himself at the 1 because he's small and can handle the ball.
Now I'm not saying that Kemba is the most creative floor general who knows how to thread that ball in tight spaces. I do think Bazz has better instincts in that regard. Kemba was a pretty good passer off penetration. His game winning dish to Lamb in the UL game (I think it was that game) is an example of that. Last season is a bit of a blur, but I think Napier was better than Kemba at tossing it into the post within the flow of the half-court, though at times he would try to thread the needle a tad too tight resulting in a turnover or deflected pass out-of-bounds.
To some degree, the old adage, necessity if the mother of invention, is at work here. Since the team needed scoring, Kemba focused the majority of his game on such. If he had a lot of scoring weapons he could count on, he might have shown a more balanced game.
Conversely, Bazz usually had a few reliable scorers on the floor with him in Kemba & Lamb, so his role dictated the use of his lead guard skills, which were quite advanced for a freshman. People forget that Bazz was a scorer in HS similar to Boatright who would take over when his team needed him to score. I think at times, Bazz was in a cold sweat wanting to jack up Js and drive it to the hole, but he played within what was expected of him. Not that we didn't see him take an ill advised shot or two.
I think he and Boatright will be interchangeable at some point in time. Early on, I imagine Bazz will be running the team when both are in the game together due to his experience and Ryan's skill and athleticism that lends itself to him being ready sooner to contribute as a scorer compared to a running the team for long stretches.
I'm interested to find out if my assessment on these players is anything close to what will happen over the next couple years.
Sportsman5
Blaney is talking about Shabazz NOW. Not last year. If you haven't been to at least 10 practices/ scrimmages, than you'll have to wait until the season starts to see if Blaney is telling the truth.

When men were men and Mamie was their obsession.
This is an unbeatable poster for Mamie Van Doren's crime thriller Girls Guns and Gangsters. The title is about as descriptive as they come. Van Doren is involved with a bunch of crooks who want to rob an armored car as it motors casino winnings from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. The plan is to shoot its tires—and anyone who gets in their way. While the caper is central, the plot is equally driven by everyone's sexual desire for Van Doren. Gerald Mohr in particular is constantly in her grill, and watching her fend off his persistent advances is squirm inducing. There's a fine line in old movies between desire and violence, so of course he crosses it by slapping her at one point, then trying twenty seconds later to kiss her. And the dude is really surprised to be rebuffed, like, "Huh?"
Put the blame on Mame? No, put the blame on men. They're all bad in this one. Van Doren's husband, Lee Van Cleef, is the worst of them. He breaks out of prison because she's asked him for a divorce. Everyone knows he'll kill anyone who even looks at Van Doren, which is problematic, considering gangster number three Grant Richards has been filling in for Van Cleef, so to speak, for quite a while. What a mess Van Doren is in. The robbery seems easy by comparison, but it wouldn't be a crime thriller if that went off without a hitch. Van Doren doesn't go off without a hitch either, because she isn't an expert actress and she sure as hell doesn't nail her singing numbers. But she's a great presence. That's enough to make an enjoyable movie. Girls Guns and Gangsters premiered in the U.S. this month in 1959.

Police are looking for a 'man with a gun' following an incident in Basildon.
Essex Live understands that several police cars and armed police are outside a row of stores in Chalvedon Square, Basildon.
A police helicopter has also been seen flying overhead.
"There was also a police helicopter hovering low overhead.
"They were standing just outside the Mediterranean bar and grill."
We'll be bringing you live updates as they happen in our live blog below.
A spokesperson from Essex Police said: "Police were called to a report of a man being seen with what is believed to be a firearm around his waist in Chalvedon Square, Basildon shortly before 3pm today, Friday, September 29.
"There was no suggestion of the weapon being used or shown.
Eye-witness saw "helicopter flying low"
A witness at the scene said: "I came out of Chalvedon Shops in Pitsea at around 3.45pm and there were two armed police officers on the green outside the shops and several police cars.
Armed officers are currently at a parade of shops on Chalvedon Square, Basildon.
They arrived just before 3pm today (Friday, September 29).


Getting started with Tapestry is easy, and you have lots of ways to begin: watch a video, browse the source code of a working demo app, create a skeleton app using Maven, or step through the tutorial.
For a fast-paced introduction, watch Mark W. Shead's 10 Minute Demo. This video shows how to set up a simple Tapestry application, complete with form validation, Hibernate-based persistence, and Ajax. The video provides a preview of the development speed and productivity that experienced Tapestry users enjoy.
You can also play with Tapestry via our live demonstration applications. To start, have a look at the Hotel Booking Demo. The source code is provided so you can download and play with it. Also check out the Jumpstart demonstration site.
The easiest way to start a new app is to use Apache Maven to create your initial project; Maven can use an archetype (a kind of project template) to create a bare-bones Tapestry application for you.
(Alternatively, if you want to get an archetype for a not-yet-released version of Tapestry – most users don't – you can use the staging URI, https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/staging ).
Application 'app' (version 1.0-SNAPSHOT-DEV) startup time: 329 ms to build IoC Registry, 919 ms overall.
The application consists of three pages sharing a common look and feel. The initial page, Index, allows you to perform some basic operations.
You can also load the newly-created project it into any IDE and start coding. See the next section on where to find the different components of the application.
A Tapestry application is composed of pages, each page consisting of one template file and one Java class.
Tapestry page templates have the .tml extension and are found within src/main/resources/ under the app's pages package (src/main/resources/com/example/newapp/pages, in this example). Templates are essentially HTML with some special markup to reference properties in the corresponding Java class and to reference ready-made or custom components.
Similarly, Tapestry page classes are found in within the src/main/java under the app's pages package (src/main/java/com/example/newapp/pages, in this example) and their name matches their template name (Index.tml -> Index.java).
In the skeleton project, most of the HTML is not found on the pages themselves but in a Layout component which acts as a global template for the whole site. Java classes for components live in src/main/java/com/example/newapp/components and component templates go in src/main/resources/com/example/newapp/components.
The bundled version of the Bootstrap CSS library has a per-project override. You can see the files in src/webapp/context/mybootstrap, and the overrides to enable that in AppModule.java.
By default, Tapestry users Prototype as its client-side library, but the archetype overrides this to jQuery, which is preferred for new projects.
The archetype adds a simple filter that shows the timing of each request.
The archetype sets up not just for builds with Maven, but also via Gradle.
To deepen your understanding, step through the Tapestry Tutorial, which goes into much more detail about setting up your project as well as loading it into Eclipse... then continues on to teach you more about Tapestry.
Be sure to read about the core Tapestry Principles, and browse the extensive Documentation.
