There are inevitable times when your teeth need extensive cavity restoration and added strength. Typically used with your rear teeth, Dental Inlays and Onlays can repair mild to moderate decay, cracks, and fractures in teeth that are not amply damaged to require a dental crown.
Inlays and onlays are also a natural-looking, cosmetic dentistry solution similar to fillings. They are made from either porcelain or a tooth-coloured resin that bonds to your tooth structure for added strength.
Your inlays and outlays are fabricated in a laboratory, require two appointments to complete, and are unlikely to be distinguished from your natural teeth.
This cosmetic treatment is easily available at our Dental 266 clinic in Burwood. Do pass by soon – or give us a call to schedule an appointment with one of our very friendly dentists.

Q: ReactJS TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'main') I am trying to make the weather app in React JS , but when I run the program I get the error "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'main')". Below is part of the code:

A: weather is undefined at some point. Since you are only checking if weather.main is undefined or not, at some point your code tries to read field main of undefined.
One solution may be conditional chaining. Try changing
(typeof weather.main != "undefined") ? ...

to
weather?.main && (...

Harkes should never have been drafted by DCU. He brought too little to the table.


A little quest help, please?
I finished the quests for the 5 trainers in EK and Kalimdor (Tier 2 in the Quest Chain Breakdown of https://www.warcraftpets.com/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=459), but I don't know what to do to get the quests to defeat the Grand Masters. They themselves don't have the quests for it, and I don't see any related quest in Ogrimmar.
Re: A little quest help, please?
nvm, I apparently did some things in a weird order somehow? I'm now on the Northrend portion of the quests.


It is getting colder and mildly winter-y here in the bay area. Little Kaylee here still doesnt have much hair yet. I always feel that her head gets cold when we are out and about. However, ever since she mastered hand motions, she always take her hats off within 2 seconds (maybe her head doesnt really get cold). I knew I would have no hope of her keeping a cute warm hat on. But she always have trouble taking hoodies off, so I decided to knit her a hoodlet!
I made up the pattern myself. Here it is for future reference and if anyone is interested. If you do use it to knit one, please send some pictures/links after you are done! I dont read knitting patterns much so if there's anything thats not clear please feel free to ask in the comment!
When the hood part reaches about 10-11 inches, stop knitting and bind off using kitchener's stitches.
Tada! Easy, right? 🙂 Please note – little kaylee is about 30 inches tall, and 20 pound heavy and this fits her perfectly.
Here's one last photo to tempt you into making one for your own little one.

That is the sweetest little hoodie I've ever seen. Great pics!
Oh my gosh SO cute! I'm so glad you're posting again 🙂 I love the things you make!
So adorable I don't know what to say. I need a grandchild to make that for. And then I need to learn to knit.

El Chromatron es un diseño de tubo de rayos catódicos para televisión en color inventado por el ganador del Premio Nobel Ernest Lawrence y desarrollado comercialmente por Paramount Pictures, Sony, Litton Industries y otros. El Chromatron ofrece imágenes más brillantes que los sistemas de televisión en color convencionales con una máscara de sombra, pero una serie de problemas de desarrollo impidió su uso general a pesar de años de desarrollo. Sony finalmente lo abandonó a favor de su famoso sistema Trinitron usando una rejilla de apertura.

Historia

Televisión en color
La televisión en color se había estudiado incluso antes de que la difusión comercial se volviera común, pero fue solo a finales de la década de 1940 que el problema fue considerado seriamente. En ese momento, se estaban proponiendo una serie de sistemas que utilizaban señales separadas de rojo, verde y azul (RGB), emitidas en sucesión. La mayoría de los sistemas emiten cuadros enteros en secuencia, con un filtro de color (o "gel") que gira frente a un tubo de televisión en blanco y negro, que de otra manera sería convencional. Debido a que transmitían señales separadas para los diferentes colores, todos estos sistemas eran incompatibles con los conjuntos en blanco y negro existentes. Otro problema fue que el filtro mecánico los hizo parpadear a menos que se usaran tasas de actualización muy altas. A pesar de estos problemas, la Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones de EE. UU. Seleccionó un estándar de 144 cuadros / s de fotogramas secuenciales de CBS como su emisión en color en 1950.

RCA trabajó a lo largo de diferentes líneas completamente, utilizando el sistema de luminancia-crominancia. Este sistema no codificó ni transmitió directamente las señales RGB; en su lugar, combinó estos colores en una figura de brillo general, la "luminancia". La luminancia coincidió con la señal en blanco y negro de las transmisiones existentes, lo que permite que se muestre en los televisores existentes. Esta fue una gran ventaja sobre los sistemas mecánicos propuestos por otros grupos. La información de color se codificó por separado y se incorporó a la señal como una modificación de alta frecuencia para producir una señal de video compuesta – En una televisión en blanco y negro, esta información adicional se vería como una ligera aleatorización de la intensidad de la imagen, pero la resolución limitada de Los conjuntos existentes hicieron esto invisible en la práctica. En los conjuntos de colores, la señal se notaría, se descodificaría en RGB y se mostraría.

Aunque el sistema de RCA tenía enormes beneficios, no se había desarrollado con éxito porque era difícil producir los tubos de la pantalla. Los televisores en blanco y negro usaban una señal continua y el tubo podía cubrirse con una pintura uniforme de fósforo. Con el sistema de RCA, el color cambiaba continuamente a lo largo de la línea, que era demasiado rápido para que lo siguiera cualquier tipo de filtro mecánico. En su lugar, el fósforo tenía que descomponerse en un patrón discreto de manchas de color. Enfocar la señal correcta en cada uno de estos pequeños puntos estaba más allá de la capacidad de los cañones de electrones de la era. Los primeros experimentos de RCA utilizaron proyectores de tres tubos, o sistemas basados en espejo conocidos como " Triniscopio ".

Máscara de sombra
RCA finalmente resolvió el problema de mostrar las imágenes en color con su introducción de la máscara de sombra. La máscara de sombra consiste en una delgada lámina de aluminio con pequeños orificios grabados en ella, colocados justo detrás de la superficie frontal del tubo de imagen. Tres pistolas, dispuestas en un triángulo, apuntaban a los agujeros. Los electrones perdidos en el borde del haz fueron cortados por la máscara, creando un punto bien enfocado que era lo suficientemente pequeño como para golpear un fósforo de un solo color en la pantalla. Dado que cada una de las pistolas apuntaba al orificio desde un ángulo ligeramente diferente, los puntos de fósforo en el tubo podrían separarse ligeramente para evitar el solapamiento.

La desventaja de este enfoque fue que para cualquier cantidad dada de potencia del cañón, la máscara de sombra filtraba la mayoría de la señal. Para asegurarse de que no hubiera superposición de la señal en la pantalla, los puntos debían separarse y cubrirse tal vez un 25% de su superficie. Esto llevó a imágenes muy tenues, que requerían mucha más potencia para proporcionar una imagen útil. Además, el sistema era altamente dependiente de los ángulos relativos de los haces entre los tres cañones, lo que requería un ajuste constante por parte del usuario para asegurar que los cañones tuvieran los colores correctos. A pesar de esto, la superioridad técnica del sistema RCA fue abrumadora en comparación con el sistema CBS, y fue seleccionada como la nueva norma NTSC en 1953. La primera transmisión utilizando el nuevo estándar ocurrió el día de Año Nuevo en 1954, cuando la NBC emitió el Torneo de Desfile de Rosas.

A pesar de este inicio temprano, solo unos pocos años después de que comenzara la transmisión de televisión programada regularmente, el consumo de los televisores en color fue muy lento. Las imágenes tenues, los ajustes constantes y los altos costos los habían mantenido en un nicho propio. La baja aceptación por parte de los consumidores llevó a una falta de programación en color, lo que redujo aún más la demanda de los juegos en una situación de huevo o gallina. En los Estados Unidos en 1960, sólo 1 de cada 50 conjuntos vendidos era a color.

Chromatron
En 1951, Ernest Lawrence, profesor de la Universidad de California, Berkeley, más conocido como el padre del ciclotrón, patentó una nueva solución al problema de la decodificación del color. Este sistema, el "Chromatron" o simplemente "Tubo de Lawrence", utiliza un sistema de enfoque electrónico en lugar de la solución mecánica de RCA. El sistema consistía en una serie de alambres o placas metálicas delgadas colocadas aproximadamente a media pulgada por detrás de la pantalla de fósforo. Los cables se utilizaron para enfocar eléctricamente las vigas y doblarlas sobre los fósforos correctos, que estaban dispuestos en rayas verticales. El fósforo cubrió más del 50% del área de la pantalla, mientras que las máscaras de sombra contemporáneas cubrieron alrededor del 25%. Esto llevó a imágenes mucho más brillantes utilizando la misma cantidad de energía.

Cada elemento de enfoque consistía en un par de cables y un revestimiento de aluminio conductor en la parte posterior de los fósforos. Normalmente, la pantalla se carga con un potencial de 3000 a 4500 V entre los cables y el aluminio, lo que resultó en un campo eléctrico curvo entre la rejilla y la pantalla. Cuando el haz de electrones del cañón entró en la región entre la cuadrícula y la pantalla, se acelera y se enfoca en un punto pequeño, que normalmente incide en el fósforo verde. Al variar la tensión relativa entre los dos cables en cada par, el haz se doblaría en una dirección u otra, permitiendo el control sobre el color. A diferencia de una máscara de sombra, toda la señal llega a la pantalla, lo que redujo aún más los requisitos de energía.

Si faltaba la señal de crominancia o se ignoraba deliberadamente, el sistema de enfoque se desconectaba y su potencia se añadía al cañón. Esto produjo un haz ligeramente más fuerte y desenfocado, que golpea las tres tiras de colores, produciendo una imagen en blanco y negro. Los espacios entre las franjas significaban que la imagen general sería tan brillante como un conjunto B/N convencional. Un conjunto de máscaras de sombra requería que los tres cañones fueran accionadas para producir una imagen en blanco y negro, y como los puntos de color eran pequeños, su potencia tenía que ser muy alta.

Otra ventaja más del enfoque de la pantalla cercana fue que el haz de electrones se dobla para golpear los fósforos en la placa frontal del tubo en ángulos rectos, independientemente del ángulo del haz detrás del enfocador. Esto permitie que los tubos se construyeran con ángulos de deflexión mucho más altos que los tubos convencionales (72° en lugar de los 45° más típicos). Por lo tanto, los tubos de Chromatron tenían mucha menos profundidad para cualquier tamaño horizontal dado.

El Chromatron también tenía varias desventajas. Uno era que había una relación fundamental entre la aceleración proporcionada por la rejilla y el cañón de electrones en la parte posterior del tubo; para garantizar que la red pudiera controlar con éxito el haz, tenía que tener una proporción significativa de la potencia total. Desafortunadamente, la disposición mecánica de la rejilla lo limitó a voltajes de aproximadamente 5000 V o menos, lo que a su vez limitó el cañón de electrones a voltajes relativamente bajos alrededor de 8000 V. Por lo tanto, la potencia general en el Chromatron fue menor que en los tubos convencionales, compensando su natural brillo hasta cierto punto.

La preocupación más apremiante fue la disposición mecánica de la red. Lograr que los cables finos permanezcan alineados con las franjas de color en la pantalla resultó ser el talón de Aquiles del diseño.

Desarrollos comerciales
La Universidad de California, Berkeley, estableció "Laboratorios de Televisión Cromática" para desarrollar comercialmente el sistema, en asociación con Paramount Pictures, que proporcionó fondos para el desarrollo. Comenzaron a producir el PDF 22-4, prototipos de tubos de 22'' entre 1952 y 1953, con un área visible de 14x11''.

El diseño demostró tener serios problemas en la práctica. Dado que el sistema de enfoque tenía que mover rápidamente el haz para generar los colores correctos, tuvieron que utilizarse tensiones y potencias muy, conduciendo a problemas de arco y ruido de radiofrecuencia (RF). Este último fue particularmente molesto cuando se usó como base de un televisor, ya que el ruido interfiere con los receptores de radio que captaron las transmisiones. La Universidad finalmente abandonó su interés en Chromatron, pero Paramount continuó su desarrollo como un sistema para mostrar películas durante la edición, lo que significaba que el ruido de RF no presentaba un problema. El desarrollo aún continuaba a principios de la década de 1960 cuando Sony compró su trabajo.

A pesar de estos problemas, la promesa del sistema Chromatron fue tan grande que varias empresas continuaron con el desarrollo del sistema a lo largo de los años cincuenta. El diseño de Chromatron también se autorizó para una variedad de otros usos; Litton Industries utilizó el Chromatron con una pantalla de dos colores (azul-rojo) como base para un sistema de identificación amigo-enemigo.

Intento de Sony
En 1961, Sony era un importante fabricante japonés de sets en blanco y negro, pero no tenía ninguna tecnología de televisión en color. Los distribuidores de Sony preguntaban cuándo podían esperar un conjunto de colores, y la división de ventas comenzó a presionar a la ingeniería para que simplemente obtuviera la licencia de un diseño de máscara de sombra de otro fabricante y comenzara la producción. Masaru Ibuka se negó, aparentemente mostrando una intensa sensación personal de que el diseño de la máscara de sombra era fundamentalmente defectuoso.

En marzo de 1961, Ibuka, Akio Morita y Nobutoshi Kihara asistieron a la feria comercial IEEE en el New York Coliseum. Esta fue la primera visita de Kihara a los EE. UU., Y pasó un tiempo considerable vagando por el piso de exhibición. En la pequeña cabina de Autometric, vio que se mostraba el Chromatron, y se apresuró a encontrar a Morita e Ibuka para mostrarles. Cuando Morita vio la pantalla, inmediatamente comenzó a negociar una reunión para la mañana siguiente para visitar los laboratorios de Chromatic en Manhattan. Al final de la reunión al día siguiente, Morita había obtenido una licencia para producir "un tubo Chromatron y un receptor de televisión en color que lo utilizara".

A principios de 1963, Senri Miyaoka fue enviado a los laboratorios Chromatic para organizar la transferencia de la tecnología a Sony, lo que llevaría al cierre de Chromatic. No se impresionó con los laboratorios, describiendo el sótano sin ventanas como una "miseria". El equipo estadounidense se apresuró a señalar las fallas en el diseño de Chromatron, y le dijo a Miyaoka que el diseño no tenía remedio. Para septiembre de 1964, un prototipo de 17'' se había construido en Japón, pero las pruebas de producción en masa demostraron serios problemas.

Ibuka siguió siendo un firme partidario de la tecnología y siguió adelante con la construcción de una nueva fábrica para producirlos en la estación Osaki en Tokio. Esto demostró ser imprudente, y en las primeras etapas, sólo se podrían utilizar de 1 a 3 tubos de cada 1,000 producidos. El resto sufrió problemas de alineación, ya que los colores se desvanecieron de uno a otro en la pantalla, lo cual es imposible de arreglar después de sellar el tubo. Los tubos utilizables fueron llevados rápidamente a las salas de exhibición de Sony a pesar de los bajos rendimientos, e Ibuka hizo que el producto fuera la principal prioridad de ventas de Sony. Esto también resultó imprudente; los bajos rendimientos significaron que el costo de producción fue de alrededor de 400,000 yenes, pero Sony se vio obligada a venderlos a 198,000 yenes ($ 500) para ser competitivos.

Los problemas de producción nunca se resolvieron y llevaron a una creciente tensión entre Ibuka y Morita. En noviembre de 1966, Kazuo Iwama le dijo a Susumu Yoshida que la compañía estaba cerca de la ruina y que el equipo tenía que mejorar los rendimientos para fin de año, o el producto tendría que cancelarse. Mientras tanto, RCA estaba progresando mucho mejorando su tecnología de máscara de sombra, y los nuevos participantes como el " Porta-Color " de General Electric ofrecían otras ventajas. Sony claramente se estaba quedando atrás del resto del mercado al seguir el enfoque de Chromatron.

Ibuka finalmente anunció que personalmente lideraría la búsqueda de un sistema alternativo. Su equipo de 30 ingenieros y físicos exploró una amplia variedad de enfoques en la búsqueda de un sistema único de Sony. Después de leer varios de los informes, Ibuka llamó al físico Miyaoka, de 29 años de edad, a su oficina junto con Yoshida, y le preguntó si podía trabajar en su enfoque de cañón único. Miyaoka estaba intentando dejar el trabajo para un ensayo de violonchelo, y declaró de manera precipitada que funcionaría. El resultado fue el famoso sistema Trinitron, que salió a la venta en 1968 con gran éxito.

Ventas limitadas
A pesar del movimiento de Sony a Trinitron, un número limitado de Chromatrons de 7 pulgadas se construyeron y se pusieron a la venta en los Estados Unidos a partir de abril de 1968 como KV 7010U. Estos fueron reemplazados tres meses después por el KV 7010UA utilizando un tubo Trinitron.

Descripción
El concepto básico que definió el Chromatron fue el sistema de enfoque de pantalla cercana, que proporcionó la resolución del haz necesaria para golpear con precisión las tiras de fósforo de colores individuales. La cuadrícula enfoca la señal y la guía a los colores correctos.

Los fósforos se tamizaron en la parte posterior del tubo en tiras de 2 milímetros de ancho con espacios de 2 milímetros de ancho entre ellas, y luego se recubrieron con aluminio para hacer que la pantalla sea conductora. Dado que la rejilla tenía que cargarse a voltajes relativamente altos, el revestimiento de aluminio era bastante grueso, lo que atenuaba la imagen en cierta medida.

Los fósforos se modelaron en un patrón RGB-BGR-RGB. La rejilla de enfoque estaba alineada de modo que el haz normalmente se enfocaría hacia abajo en las tiras verdes en el medio de cada par de cables. Para producir diferentes colores, digamos azul, la viga tendría que ser tirada hacia la derecha para un píxel, y luego hacia la izquierda para el siguiente. Dado que las franjas adyacentes de fósforos compartían uno de los cables, esto significaba que un solo ajuste de voltaje produciría el color azul en dos píxeles adyacentes. Dado que un solo cuadro de televisión en color no consiste en un solo color, el sistema de desviación tuvo que variarse continuamente a medida que el haz se movía por la pantalla.

Skogsøya is an island in Øksnes Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.  The island lies off the west coast of the large island of Langøya, just  west of the village of Myre.  The highest point on the island is the  tall mountain Sørsandtinden.

The  island has just 26 residents on it (in 2017), down from a high of several hundred residents in the 1930s. Most of the population lives along the southern coast of the island, where the historic Øksnes Church is located.  The municipal administration for Øksnes was historically located on this island, but it was moved to the village of Myre on the main island of Langøya during the 20th century.

Summary: Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, talks about Ask the Experts at TechEd 2014 in Houston, Texas.
Oh man, dude, dude, dude (or dudette). Ask the Experts last night was totally awesome. The Scripting Guys and the Windows PowerShell team had three tables. We occupied an entire section, we had all the seats at the tables filled, and people were standing around in the aisles talking about Windows PowerShell. It was a total geek night.
So, at 6:00 last night, they let the table owners (me and the Scripting Wife) come in. A few minutes after we found our tables and set out our signs, our experts began filtering over. We grabbed a quick bite to eat, sat down, and began to discuss our strategy. Here is our expert table as we are conversing.
Members of the Windows PowerShell team showed up shortly afterwards. They were booking it to hurry over from the sold out DSC instructor led lab. But they quickly assimilated into the crowd and were bombarded with questions about DSC. Shown here are Hemant, Marc, Craig, and Hyper-V_Guy.
Some of the questions last night were about starting and maintaining a Windows PowerShell User Group. Microsoft MVP, Teresa Wilson (aka Scripting Wife), helped connect several people and promised assistance in getting speakers and helping them to get registered. Here she is with Daniel Cruz one of our Scripting Games winners from a couple years ago.
What is the relationship of DSC and Puppet?
How can I run a Windows PowerShell script to delete user profiles at a time when the computer is idle?
How can I best learn about Windows PowerShell?
How can I integrate DSC with a Windows PowerShell workflow?
How do I install Windows PowerShell 4.0 on Windows 8?
Can I use DSC on Windows Server 2003?
Can I use DSC to configure my Linux boxes?
I need to copy all file shares from server A to server B, and maintain all the permissions. How can I do that with Windows PowerShell?
I have a script that is copying a bunch of logs, and I am using 7-Zip to archive the files. It works locally, but fails remotely. The problem is that it deletes the files after the script runs because it creates the archive, but there are no files in it. What am I doing wrong?
As you might imagine, it was a great event. We left Ask the Experts after shutting it down, and headed to the Aquarium in downtown Houston where the Windows Server and Tools group threw an MMC alumni party. It was extremely well done…and the rain earlier in the afternoon had cooled down the temperature to a nice 70 degrees F.

You can either sign in easily using facebook connect or answer some very personal questions about your relation with booze ! Just kidding, you can also fill out the form.
It's an API created by facebook that retrieves your information in a way to simplify your account creation process. It will also give you the option to share with your peers your awesome lifestyle.
Why are we asking for your university and student union?
In order to provide you with a personalized events feed, we need to know where you belong.
I bought a ticket but I haven't receive my e-mail from StudentSphere yet ?
Check the list below to see if you are in one of the following situation but don't worry you can still attend the event with your buddies.
1- You created your account with Facebook Connect and our e-mail have been sent to an old e-mail adress which is probably really shameful like "little_cutie_69@exemple.com" ! At any time you can go in "my account "section and change your e-mail address.
2- Our e-mail might went into your junk mail, please check it out .
3- You have checked the 2 options above and you find nothing… wait 24h and contact us at info@studentsphere.ca if you still haven't receive your ticket.
4- You just bought your ticket and your event is starting in 2 hours from now. Print or keep with you your PayPal confirmation and e-mail us at info@studentsphere.ca.
I'm experiencing problems with Paypal, what should I do?
Unfortunately PayPal is not under our control (for now), but we can give you this PayPal Help Centre link. If you still have an issue with that, contact us at info@studentsphere.ca.
Do I absolutely need to create a student account to purchase a ticket?
You can choose not to create an account, but you will not be eligible to purchase tickets for events which are restricted to students only.
I'm not a student, but I'm still young in my heart, can I still buy tickets?
Of course you can still buy tickets, but don't be surprise that most of events are organized by students and for students.
I'm a student but I can't find my student union ?
It might be possible that they are not yet selling tickets on StudentSphere, sign in and ask them to use StudentSphere before they rip there hair out!
I do not know what association organizes the event, how can I find the event?
You can simply enter the name of the event in the search space at the top right of the page..
What about the 'following' feature?
You probably don't wanna see in your feed all of the thousands events organised by student unions . That's why you can choose event organisers you care about. By exemple, if you like your university sports team, the conferences provided by Exemple Union A and the partys organised by Exemple Union B, you can fallow those three. Once logged, you will only see there events in your home page feed.
I want to buy a ticket for an event, but I don't have a PayPal account, how do I proceed?
You can pay directly online using a credit card / debit card and the transaction is still safe.
How much does cost this wonderful service?
The transaction costs are 5% + $ 0.50, this include the PayPal fee and maintenance costs of our unicorns.

How Fashion Retailers have Communicated Their DEI Brand Values
By: Payton-luv Stine
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are more than just buzzwords, and they're more than internal benchmarks that executive boards and employee numbers have to comply with. Although progress may seem slow, it is happening. Every day we move in the right direction, even if some days that means taking two steps backward first. The fashion industry has recently come under fire for lack of representation and, despite having years of progress to go, is beginning to change for the better. Since the beginning of the fashion "industry", beauty standards have been unattainable, misrepresentative, and frankly depressing (I'm looking at you Victoria's Secret Fashion Show).
In all seriousness, it's an issue that has gained long overdue traction in recent years. Big Brands like Target, Nike, Athleta, and Old Navy have felt the pressure from their consumers to not only have products for more than the 5'10 size 00 but to display those products. Subconsciously consumers have felt the shame of their bodies for years due to the pressure of social media and societal beauty standards. The lack of representation in sizing and display only perpetuates this shame. It may seem obvious but seeing mannequins in a display window that represents consumers' body types creates a sense of representation and inclusion for the brand which ultimately means brand loyalty.
It could be argued that Target set the stage for other big brands when they began adding size four, 10, and 16 mannequins to stores years ago featuring their All in Motion activewear. This label sold over a billion dollars of product their very first year, a huge number even for a retail giant like Target. Athleta has been known for its size inclusivity in manufacturing having sizes from 00 to 26, but simply making products in a range of sizes is not enough. Athleta made a commitment to inclusion by training all store employees in inclusive sizing and displaying size-inclusive mannequins in the store. The brand even took a step further adding different hairstyles and facial features.
Similarly, Old Navy recently took a step towards body equality by offering women's apparel in sizes 0 to 30. Something Old Navy found particularly important was getting rid of their "plus-size" sections. The brand instead shifted to an open floor model where all products are displayed together, meaning the shirt in a size 0 is on the same rack as the shirt in a size 30. This is important for making individuals of larger sizes feel included and comfortable in their shopping experience, rather than being forced into the "plus-size" corners.
Rihanna's brand Fenty also has worked to display body-inclusive, but also "body-realistic" mannequins in their pop-up store in New York. While many brands feature size-inclusive mannequins, the skin was smooth, the imperfections did not exist. Mannequins at Fenty's pop-up featured "hip dips," "stomach pouches," "muffin tops," "love handles," and "curves." Fenty has been recognized for its inclusivity in regards to its models for continuing to feature women of various ethnicities, skin tones, abilities (and disabilities), hair types, heights, and sizes.
Inclusivity is becoming increasingly popular for shoppers, specifically for younger generations who care more about the social impact of their purchases more than their parents and grandparents' generations. Still, inclusivity is more than simply mannequin sizes and models. Brands must continue to work towards true inclusivity on both the consumer side and the internal side.

Q: Generate raw Ethernet frames with memory preloaded payloads at < 1 ms intervals I am looking to generate raw Ethernet frames with payload that is preloaded into memory.
The Ethernet frames (10-60 full frames) should be generated at 1 ms intervals with no exception.
What would be my option to do this? My concern is in regards to the real-time requirements of such an application. Interrupts should be minimized and the process should perhaps have a core dedicated to its execution? If Linux/software is not an option the alternative is FPGA.
Looking forward to hear potential solutions.

A: 1ms is plenty to generate a few Ethernet frames, but on a typical Linux system, you can't count on not having the occasional pause. Even if you make your process high-priority, I don't think you can expect to always make a 1ms deadline.
RTLinux combines a real-time operating system with Linux. Linux runs as a non-real-time-priority task in the real-time scheduler.
I lack experience with RTLinux, so I can't offer concrete advice, but it does include Ethernet drivers, so it looks suitable for your use case.

A: Unless you are using a very esoteric distribution, Linux, or any common derivative of a UNIX system, is not real time. If you are looking into time slices like 1 milisecond without any exceptions, you need to look elsewhere, for a real time OS. Whatever anyone can tell you to do on Linux is on best effort basis and if there is a contention on CPU, I/O or any other resource, the process will keep executing, but may skip a beat or two, or go faster than expected 1 ms intervals. And this is not an anomaly. It is by design.


For the past 30 years, Stuart & Sons has carved an enviable world-wide reputation as designers and manufacturers of high quality, hand crafted and uniquely Australian pianos. Company founder and designer Wayne Stuart has created technologically and musically advanced instruments which have given pianists opportunities beyond imagination. Starting with the first 97 key piano with a range of F0 to F8, Stuart & Sons produced the world's first 102 key piano, with a range of C0 to F8, in both 2.2 metre and 2.9 metre concert sizes.
Stuart & Sons is a family owned business. All owners of our instruments have the assurance that their instrument will be fully taken care of from start to finish. Stuart & Sons take great pride in every aspect of piano manufacturing – the design, materials ordering, selection of veneers, craftsmanship, delivery, installation and maintenance. Stuart & Sons also maintain a selection of pianos in stock that are available for purchase. Please contact us for details of current availability and pricing.
Since its earliest days as a four octave instrument built in the early 18th century by Bartolomeo Cristofori, the piano's development has been driven both by technical advances and by musicians demanding both a greater range of notes and more robust construction. This constant quest to improve and develop the piano principle has now resulted in the world's first nine octave piano – a 3.0 metre 108 key piano with a range of C0 to B8. This is almost two octaves more than the 88 key range still rigidly adhered to by the vast majority of piano manufacturers. This piano was commissioned by the Tallis Foundation, Beleura House, Victoria, Australia.


St. Eunan's College, Letterkenny booked their place in the Ulster U-17 schools final following their semi-final win over St. Pat's of Cavan in Monaghan on Thursday.
There was a fast paced start which is rather common for the Eunan's teams of this generation.
Good link up play between Connor O'Reilly and Michael Gallagher created the first chance of the game for the Letterkenny school.
Conor O'Donnell cracked the woodwork before the Letterkenny students broke the deadlock 3 minutes from half-time with Carolan taking a wonderful touch receiving a perfectly weighted O'Reilly pass to make sure they held a 1-0 lead at the break.
With an Ulster Final place at stake St.Pat's came out the hungrier team searching for a goal. Despite Eunan's dominating first half possession the Cavan side took control and scored a well deserved equaliser.
12 minutes from time Gallagher again showing why he was captain, influencing almost every play but on this instance he found Carolan in the box who knocked it past the keeper before he was brought down for a penalty.
Carolan converted from the spot and should have been stepping up three minutes later when pulled down in the box but appeals were waved away by the referee.
A third goal did come a minute from time with Conor O'Donnell crossing in for Anthony Gallagher who was only on the pitch to slide home.
A great defensive display from a backline with Finn Harps player Ellison really impressive. It was another Harps midfielder Brendan Barr who was also influential, finding some great passes.
A repeat of the senior final now sees St. Eunan's face Carndonagh next week in a game Eunan's will want to win having narrowly lost the senior game 1-0.


Marion passed away on Sunday morning, January 27, 2019 at the Fairfax Community Hospital.
Funeral Services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 31, 2019 at the Trinity Lutheran Church. Visitation with the family will take place one hour prior to the services at the church.

Marion was active at Trinity Lutheran Church in many ministries, including Porter's Lake Lutheran Center. She sang in the church choir until she was unable, due to health issues. She enjoyed helping with Vacation Bible School and was very active with children's ministry well into her later years. She also served as the church secretary for many, many years. She enjoyed bowling, acting as a junior bowling coach for many years and bowled on a league until she was close to 80 years old. She volunteered at the local food pantry and helped with many service projects and fund raisers for people in need and with many AAL activities.
Preceding Marion in death, were her parents, her husband Kenneth, a daughter, Denise Sheldon, grandson, John Wik; sisters, Helen Gangelhoff, Pearl Hultgren, Gertrude Antonicci, and Irene Knotts and brother, Vernon Gangelhoff.

TreadRight Wildlife Project
WCS - Big Cat Fund
For more than 50 years, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) has been a leader in big cat conservation. With a well-established track record, long-standing partnerships, and more boots on the ground in more landscapes than any other organization working on global big cat conservation, WCS is securing a future for these majestic animals.
Through the WCS Big Cat Fund, WCS works to conserve all big cat species, with long-term programs in 55 landscapes in 28 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. These programs have demonstrated success over decades of conservation. WCS is the global leader in big cat conservation, combining expertise in ecology, protected area management, law enforcement, health, and community engagement. Within its 2020 strategic plan, WCS has committed to big cats as a global priority species group, and the organization is mobilizing efforts to ensure their survival.
WCS's goal is to stabilize and recover populations of tigers, lions, cheetahs, leopards, snow leopards, jaguars, and clouded leopards in important strongholds across their ranges.
How TreadRight Makes an Impact
The WCS Big Cat Fund was established to raise $2 million annually in support of WCS's global endeavors to save big cats. Proceeds from the Fund provide WCS's field staff with the resources to address developing situations on the ground and extend the work made possible by restricted grants, such as those from governments.
This enables them to:
Stop illegal hunting and trafficking of big cats
Protect the prey species on which big cats feed
Halt habitat loss and strengthen habitat protection
Prevent retaliatory killings and reduce conflicts between big cats and human communities
Conduct conservation research that enhances knowledge of big cat species
Monitor populations to inform conservation actions
UN Global Goals
This project supports global efforts to combat poaching and trafficking of big cats, as well as to protect and prevent the degradation of the big cats' natural habitats.

Western Short Story
Tom Sheehan
"I'm telling you gents that the old man, Jeb Carlton, out there at the edge of town with his wife Mildred and daughter Millicent told me straight out that some no-good rat stole both his hand guns and both his rifles clean out of the house. Clean outta the house, he said, just like that."
Pit Pitman had come into the Sky Castle Saloon in Foundry, Texas just to get a beer and tell the odd story the old man had told him, word for word, expression by expression, just like the mimic who made a one-time visit to the saloon. Pitman was an unlikeable sort from the first day, taking advantage of any and all he could regardless of their circumstances, either solid or deprived, therefore meaning any and all, with no concern either way. He'd take from a midget or a giant if he could get away with it.
One slim gent at the end of the bar, usually quiet in the suds, said, "How old is that old coot anyhow, like he couldn't have put them down someplace and clean forgot where? They get like that long in the tooth, you know. Some of us getting old, we'll get our turn at it, just wait and see."
A young man in the corner, sitting with a couple of friends, all of them cow punchers off a local spread, said, "How old is Carlton's daughter?"
All eyes in the saloon turned to the good-looking young cowpoke finishing off a beer, who was known as Koby Briggs, puncher from the K-Train Ranch. He was a handsome dude, in a neat gray shirt, a wide sombrero marked up with odd symbols that meant nothing to anybody in the saloon or to other riders at the K-Train spread.
Pit said "How the hell can you go from my story about the weapons to what the girl looks like?. You got that one-track mind working overtime? You guys are dreamers, spend your day dreaming all day about the ladies. It's a wonder the cows ever get through to the end of the trail."
Koby was about to say what was on his mind, when he quickly shut his mouth, shook his shoulders in an absent-minded manner, and sipped at the last drip in the glass. He did not say another word, figuring he had said enough already. Certainly, there are things some men must keep to themselves.
But come morning, it found him approaching the old man sitting on the small porch of a decrepit cabin, his wife washing clothes in a crude bucket-and-trough affair, and his daughter Millicent gracing the whole scene with unbelievable beauty as she stood partially in the doorway, looking as though she was afraid to venture outside that shell of a cabin, the whole world promising her nothing for the venture but trouble on top of trouble, the way some people find it their sole expectation, their lot in life always coming up on the dark side of day, dreaming, dares.
But there, right there in front of her, astride a gallant-looking horse, sat a handsome young man with a fresh air about him, like interest has a way of exclamation in a glance. She was intrigued, found herself taking another step forward, unable to stop herself. She had seen no such man in her 18 years.
Koby Briggs tipped his hat brim both to her and the old man sitting on a rocking chair, hands empty, as if his whole day was gone almost before it had begun.
"Sir," said Koby, "Mr. Carlton, I heard in town you lost all your weapons or some darn rat stole them. Is that right?"
"What part are you leaning on, son, getting lost or getting stolen?"
Koby looked him in the eye, and then looked at the beautiful daughter still hanging at the doorway and said, "I definitely think somebody stole your guns because of her." He took off his marked-up sombrero and pointed it at the daughter. She's sure worth protecting, Mr. Carlton, every bit of the way, and with your guns gone, it sure makes it seem all too difficult. That's why I came here this morning, to lend a hand, see what I can do, look around the place for any odd signs left by the thief, who obviously has something tricky in his mind."
"Like what?" yelled the old man. "Like what?" He was up off his chair and waving his empty hands in the air. And then he crumpled back down on the chair, a broken-down old man with little means at hand to protect his wife and daughter.
Koby said, "That's why I came here, sir, to offer my help, see what I can do to help."
"How you going to do that?"
"Well. Sir, not a soul in town, those coming and going for a week or more, has seen anybody carrying any extra load of guns, hand guns and rifles, which puff a man up for sure, fills a saddle like a man off to war, a war already happening or about to start his own war. One lone man can start a whole war. We've seen it."
"How will you start?" The old man's interest was at last piqued.
Koby, finally having the edge in the discussion, said, 'if he didn't take them, he hid them or buried them, so we go looking. When do you think they were taken''?
"That's easy. The ladies were bathing at the stream and I was in the barn. I came out and the weapons were gone, two rifles and two hand guns. And nobody around. I heard nobody. I saw nobody. It was silence all the way around.'
Koby added, "Then, in your loss and excitement, you might not have heard anything, so it still makes me think it was quick and close. That makes us search nearer the house and barn. You search the barn and I'll check the grounds, and Koby went on his close search with solid determination.
It did not take Koby very long to discover a fresh hay deposit over a small area beside the back corner of the barn, and with little work uncovered a long, narrow patch of fresh earth which, uncovered, yielded the missing weapons wrapped in cloth, an obvious hurry-up-quick burial of goods, the kind that can usually be carried innocently and unnoticed in the open.
His "Yee! Haw!" brought Carlton to his side, to stare at his recovered weapons and say, "You made short work of his work, Koby." He wrapped on the side arms, held a rifle in each hand/
"We're not done yet,' said Koby. "We have to shake him loose, get him out in the open, knock loose his dreams most likely concerning Millicent."
Carlton added, 'I can tell you and my daughter have made your own discoveries, and I'm all for them.in case you got any question." The wink was in his eye as bright as sunrise.
With all his armaments at hand, Carlton went back on his eternal watch; Nobody was going to come near his daughter except Koby Briggs. And he would stick to it no matter the cost.
And as prime as he was, his mind alive with ideas and possibilities, Koby made a deal with a friendly telegrapher to come into the saloon to tell Koby his uncle sent a message to him saying that he needed him as soon as possible; "As soon as possible," it said. The telegrapher made a good show of it
'Thanks, Jed,' Koby said, and muttered, "I wonder what it is now. I better go first thing in the morning. He walked out of the saloon.
Well after midnight, Kody slipped out of town, made sure nobody was following him, and went in a round-about way to the Carlton spread, daughter, wife and the old man himself welcoming him into the little home after his horse was placed in a stall in the barn.
They passed the night in a series of discussions, naps, Koby and Millicent getting more acquainted, which bolstered both of them, love blooming right on the home grounds in the lap of comfort itself.
It happened at broad noon when Carlton, sitting without any weapons in hand, or any visible, saw a rider approaching. One glance told him it was Pit Pitman finally about to make his move. He wanted to shoot him right then and there., but his weapons were still out of sight.
"Hey, old man, "Pitman said, "I thought I'd come pay a visit to you and your lovely daughter and say hello in a most friendly manner." He jumped down out of his saddle, not even drawing one of his side arms.
Carlton screamed at him, "Get the hell off my land right now. Scram! Leave us be!" He looked about himself hopelessly, as if there was no way to turn, nothing he could do.
"Rest easy, old man. I just want to talk to your daughter for a while, and alone inside. Just for a short time, and don't bother us while you're sitting there twiddling your thumbs.".
Millicent, at that very moment, appeared in the doorway, her beauty beaming like a torch.
Pitman almost came apart at his seams. There was nothing like her in all the West. Gold was gold, and no two ways about it.
"Get inside, girl. There are some things to take care of right now." He started toward her and Koby Briggs stepped out beside her.
Pitman almost drew his gun, but something held him back, and behind him he heard the click of a rifle trigger being set as Carlton picked up a rifle from a shallow reserve, as Koby Briggs already had drawn a pistol and had it aimed where it would hurt the most.
The group of riders that afternoon into Sky Castle Saloon in Foundry, Texas stirred the whole community, all of which were directed to the saloon in front of which Pit Pitman announced what he had done, was offered a horse and rode directly out of town for good and forever.
Jeb Carlton said, "I wish to announce the coming marriage of my daughter Millicent this day to Mr. Koby Briggs who cleaned up a whole mess and found true love with my daughter, and the two will be married this day and celebrated in the Sky Castle Saloon, and I own the bar for this day.
Millicent Carlton simply kissed the only man she had known in her life, not counting her father.
Night came with a dramatic softness.

Obituary of John C. Walker
John Craig Walker, 86, died peacefully in his home surrounded by family. John was born November 11, 1934 in Nevada, Iowa to Ruth and William Walker. As a young boy, he enjoyed the fact that his birthday was always a school holiday.
John is survived by his wife of 63 years, Zoya, and their five children: Tamara Jones, Lori Wehmhoefer (David), Daniel Walker (Tammy), David Walker (Kelley) and Katherine Falcone (Perry). Also surviving him are 16 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. He experienced the joy of meeting his newest great-granddaughter the evening before his final trip to the hospital.
John's career took him across the country. Upon graduating from Iowa State University with a BS in Chemical Engineering, he joined the staff at Ames Laboratory, working in what in those days was known as "critical Industry," which entitled him for a shorter time in the Army. But, even that time was shortened due to an undiagnosed heart condition. He received a medical discharge and began working on a Master's in Chemical Engineering. Upon completion, John moved his young family to Los Alamos, NM, where he joined the staff of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in the Plutonium Research and Development Facility. While life on "The Hill," as Los Alamos is known, was an interesting life experience with its highest per capita PhD's in the US, another opportunity presented itself. Donald W. Douglas Laboratory was being formed and was to be located in Richland, Washington. John took a chance and soon became Section Chief of Nuclear Materials Operations.
But another move was still in the future. Ever since John visited the Northwest as a ten-year-old boy, he yearned to eventually make this beautiful part of the country his home. So, when Weyerhaeuser beckoned, it felt so right! He was the happiest when he was the busiest. Directing the transfer, relocation and start-up in new facilities of technical equipment and 850 scientists, engineers and supporting staff was his "cup of tea."
John had a heart for the poor, while taking seriously the biblical standard of "not letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing" (Matt. 6:3). Along with his MBA in Operations Management from the University of Washington, John enjoyed classes in biblical studies in the Fuller Seminary Extension program. A life well lived!
In John's so-called "spare time," he showed all of his children the love of nature. Camping was always on the menu, as was the love of animals great and small! Falsely claiming that he had no creative talent, his woodworking skills betrayed him. He was and is loved and cherished.
Rest in Peace, Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather and Friend!

Q: C++ , sending structs via tcp I try to send and receive data via TCP. My problem is that I want to send 2 structs in one TCP message, is there any way to link the struct together.
Something like:
send(connected, struct1 + struct2, sizeof(struct1 + struct2), 0);

recv_data = recv(connected, struct1 + struct2,sizeof( struct1 + struct2),0);

If not would it be possible to add a signal byte at the beginning of the message something like:
send(connected, "0x01" + struct1, sizeof(struct1 + 1), 0);

recv_data = recv(connected, struct1,sizeof(struct1),0);

A: You could look into the writev and readv functions, which allow sending/receiving data with multiple non-contiguous memory locations.
struct iovec data[2];
data[0].iov_base = vector1.data();
data[0].iov_len = vector1.length() * sizeof(vector1[0]);
data[1].iov_base = vector2.data();
data[1].iov_len = vector2.length() * sizeof(vector2[0]);
writev(socket, data, 2);

However at the receiving side you need some way to know the number of incoming elements so you can reserve enough space to read into.
This will also only work for vectors of trivially-copyable objects, not something like std::vector<std::string>.
You really need to define some kind of properly-designed serialization format, not just copy raw bytes from vectors to sockets.
If you don't know how to do this properly (and your pseudo-code suggests you don't) then look at something like Protocol Buffers instead.
Edit: ok, you're not talking about vectors, despite saying "vectors" repeatedly. For simple structs of trivial types you can do it:
struct iovec data[2];
data[0].iov_base = &struct1;
data[0].iov_len = sizeof(struct1);
data[1].iov_base = &struct2;
data[1].iov_len = sizeof(struct2);
writev(socket, data, 2);

But you still shouldn't just be copying raw bytes to/from sockets. This will only work if the sending and receiving machines agree on the sizes, alignments and endianness of the data types. It is still safer and more correct to use a properly-designed serialization system like Protocol Buffers. That has been designed by people who understand how to do these things correctly and safely.


Year 12 Art students visited the University of Cambridge botanic gardens and the Fitzwilliam Museum on the last Thursday of September 2018.
It was a lovely sunny day to explore the 40 acres of beautiful gardens and the glass houses which display the collection of the University of Cambridge. Students were able to draw plants and flowers to support their development of the theme 'natural forms'. Art students enjoyed the freedom to explore and take inspiration from nature.
In the afternoon, we visited the Fitzwilliam Museum which houses an extensive collection of artwork and artefacts from ancient to modern times. Students studied items from the collection focusing on the use of natural forms by artists and makers.
Year 12 Art students are now using the information and drawings that they produced on the trip to develop sketchbook work before developing a final outcome based on the natural world.


Jeff Bezos is denying reports that he carried out an affair with Lauren Sanchez.
Bezos and MacKenzie reportedly aren't rushing for a divorce until after details are worked out in mediation. Later in the day, the National Enquirer - whose chairman and chief executive, David Pecker, has been a close Trump ally - reported that Bezos has been having a relationship with Lauren Sanchez, a former TV anchor and helicopter pilot and the wife of Hollywood talent agent Patrick Whitesell.
The couple met in NY, when Bezos hired her to work for him when he was a VP at a Hedge Fund, 6 months later they were married. "Her husband was there, too".
Bezos' business interests drew unprecedented scrutiny this week after he and his longtime wife, MacKenzie Bezos, announced plans to divorce.
The National Enquirer reports that on May 13 of a year ago, he messaged Sanchez, "I want to smell you, I want to breathe you in".
There is reportedly no prenup between Mackenzie and Jeff Bezos, making her entitled to half of his almost $137 billion net worth. Last night, the Enquirer drew attention over a statement they released saying they followed Bezos for months to document his liaison. "As our family and close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have chose to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends", it began. We've had such a great life together as a married couple, and we also see wonderful futures ahead, as parents, friends, partners in ventures and projects and as individuals pursuing ventures and adventures.
The two married in 1993 after meeting in NY while working at an investment management firm. The ups and downs of the stock market and other economic indicators made even the fortunes of the world's billionaires seem a little volatile, and one of the interesting ways it shook out was that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos stood alone among his fellow billionaires as the person with the biggest gain.
Based on statements from HTC, it would seem the Vive Pro Eye opens several new doors in regards to accessibility and innovation. Though the first developer kits will be available in early 2019, general availability and price will come later in the year.

Over the years, I've often highlighted the importance of consistency. I never stray too far from the exercises that have benefited me the most. I'm not about to abandon a valuable movement just to say that I've included some variety. On the contrary, I enjoy a more subtle approach. I'd rather vary how I perform a useful exercise instead of constantly seeking out new movements.
One exercise that I've often used to highlight my approach to variety are rollouts with an ab wheel. If you are familiar with my work, you have likely seen several rollout variations. Yet, after over 20 years of working with an ab wheel, I'm still uncovering different ways to perform the exercise. And while that might seem irrelevant to you, I believe there's an important lesson to discuss. In short, it's never too late to uncover new ways to improve.
There is no denying that rollouts rank at the top of my list for beneficial core training exercises. Rollouts have been invaluable to me over the years. I'm still discovering new ways to benefit from the movement however.
Most recently, I have begun working with rollout variations for timed rounds. One example can be seen below (pardon the loud music).
By integrating pushups and rollouts for timed rounds, I am no longer just targeting the core. This combination will also blast the upper body and challenge your conditioning. As the upper body and core fatigue during each round, it becomes more and more difficult to control your breathing. It's almost as if everything creeps up and hits you at once. Core strength and endurance are challenged as the upper body begins to fatigue. All of this happens while you're simultaneously struggling to control your breathing. Difficult is an understatement.
Another variation involves working from a ramp. You'll need a barbell to perform this exercise as traditional wheels would not allow for such range of motion.
When most people see this variation, they are correct in assuming it's difficult. Many are mistaken when asked to identify why it is so difficult however. Yes, the upper body and core will be challenged, but it is even more difficult to control your breathing as the set continues.
I was even mistaken when I first began experimenting with the exercise. Initially, I was just looking for another way to challenge the core. What I found though was much different. As the ramp became higher, I had to focus hard on not allowing my feet to slide. My entire body was therefore braced, which made it quite difficult to control my breathing for timed rounds.
When I first began working from a steep angle, I was light headed after each set. I wasn't about to give up though. I kept working hard and I'm now able to perform the exercise continually for timed rounds. I've made considerable improvements in learning to control my breathing. This all happened by accident as I was initially just looking for a different way to challenge the core.
You don't need to perform the exercises above to grasp the significance of this entry. Ultimately, it is impossible to know when you are going to come across a hidden gem. It often happens when you least expect it, but there's a good chance that you'll be working hard when it does.
Using myself as an example, I've come across what I consider a gem with an exercise that I've performed for over 20 years. I'll be the first to admit that even I was surprised. It was nice to be reminded though that we are never too old to learn or improve on something we've done before.
Good things tend to happen when you constantly strive to do the best that you can.
Pretty cool. I've never seen a decline rollout before. I don't know if I would have ever thought of that.
You're right , most important thing is consistency.
I read your article again today.

Producers of pop hits rule Billboard
Published on April 12, 2011 at 12:00 am
By Aleksander Chan
Katy Perry's second album, Teenage Dream, is a force to be reckoned with: Each of its successive singles has climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the definitive measure of a song's commercial success. Some might think it a surprising accomplishment given that one of the songs, "Firework," poses the simple philosophical quandary: "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?"
So Katy Perry songs aren't necessarily known for their lyrical heft. Likewise, it's unlikely you'll find a defense of any of her songs much weightier than a tossed off, "It's a guilty pleasure," or "It's really catchy." But those excuses, particularly the latter, are telling of just what her main producer, Dr. Luke, wants you to feel. That ability to hook you despite inane lyrics is the result of masterful music production. There's a technical mastery at work creating these pop hits, a skill great enough that we should reconsider how we measure the quality of song craft.
Creating a modern pop hit is an inexact science, but if you take some of the best pop songs of the last decade — Britney Spears' "Toxic," Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" or Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A." — there seems to be a recurring set of elements: a strutting, danceable beat, a hook-laden chorus and an anthemic rush of energy right around the bridge.
All three songs are from three different, successful super producers: Swedish production duo Bloodshy & Avant ("Toxic"), Dr. Luke ("Party in the U.S.A.") and his mentor, Max Martin ("Since U Been Gone"). Collectively, their music has a singular goal: make music so impossibly catchy as to consume you entirely, the ridiculous pop starlet singing be damned. These songs are not the result of following a formula but of skillful producers working their technical magic.
Case in point: Ke$ha's "TiK ToK." The accolades awarded this megahit, where pop's poster child for personal hygiene brushes her teeth with a bottle of Jack Daniels, are numerous and its cultural dominance is undeniable. Certified five-times platinum in the U.S., it spent nine weeks at No. 1 and is currently the sixth-best-selling song in digital history. No, the world isn't doomed to vapidity and cheap thrills — there will always be the kind of cerebral music heralded by sites like Pitchfork. In fact, those songs and albums routinely find themselves on critics' year-end top 10 lists.
It's unfair to hold mainstream pop and indie acts to the same qualitative standard because in most cases they have completely different goals. The work put into making the new Arcade Fire and Britney Spears albums offers a stark contrast: both albums have memorable tracks, existing in vastly different sonic spectrums; both were given four-star reviews by Rolling Stone.
If you're willing to take a few steps back, you'll marvel: "TiK ToK" is kind of brilliant. Yes, plenty have argued that Ke$ha's dance style is lifted straight from electronic artist Uffie, but the greatness of "TiK ToK" is a separate success that owes nothing to her. It represents the success of taking that inspiration nearly to its saturation point for maximum effect; his technical skill accomplished the difficult task of creating a hit song. Your almost subconscious mouthing of the lyrics, wherever you hear it, is the result of a careful creation of beats, hooks and words. It's a piece of art.
But since when was music not informed by other music? The animus flung at pop music seems to stem from frustration: "'Since U Been Gone' stole the guitar riff from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' 'Maps' and Kelly Clarkson is just a pimped-out, bourgeoise poser."
Sure, Kelly Clarkson may have a nice steady stream of royalty checks for the rest of her life, but if you're going to measure pop and indie music at different levels of quality, then measuring their respective success should be appropriately adjusted. Success for a Kelly Clarkson song and success for a Yeah Yeah Yeahs song are two different things. "Since U Been Gone" was a major Billboard, and thus commercial, hit; critics consider "Maps" of the greatest love songs of the last decade.
There's no reason the appreciation of the craftsmanship of pop and indie music have to be mutually exclusive. When Pitchfork makes its annual best of the year song list, a nice handful of catchy pop songs make the cut alongside the indie ones. Musical taste may be subjective, but the apparent skill at work in some modern pop songs isn't.
