Review of Lawrence Gilman in the New York Tribune
Wagner's 'Die Walküre' at the Opera, With a New Brünnhilde
A performance of "Die Walküre" is always a major event, no matter how familiar the cast nor how routine the performance. Before that concisely magnificent bit of storm music which begins the opera has reached its climax, we know that great matters are underway; and this sense of momentousness never leaves us until the last curtain has fallen on that sublimest of slumber songs which is the opera's close, and we are released from Wagner's thronging and cumulative marvels. The sense of deathlessness is everywhere in the unaging music, and we are sustained and swept by it from the first bar to the last, as by the wind of a primal dawn - made breathless by it, yet indescribably renewed.
But last night's performance at the Metropolitan was eventful for another reason than the unfailing momentousness of the work itself; for it brought to the ear a new Brünnhilde in the person of that admirable artist Florence Easton. Mme. Easton had been heard here as the Brünnhilde of "Siegfried," but never as the disobedient war maiden of "Die Walküre." Her appearance in the role last night is officially declared to have been her first assumption of it anywhere.
Wagner was rather a brute in his treatment of Brünnhilde. He has given her one of the most difficult passages in all opera to sing "cold" at her first appearance on the scene - the terrifying "Hojotoho"! He has given her another entrance later on, not so difficult to sing, though it has its own subtler problems for the interpreter, but appallingly difficult to act; for he requires her to embody, in a sense that Wordsworth could not possibly have conceived, the "stern daughter of the voice of God." Not Wordsworth's God, and not Wordsworth's sternness" for Brünnhilde must fill her poses and her accents with a sternness that becomes increasingly compassionate.
Mme. Easton attacked the more obviously difficult of these tasks with a caution that rather militated against the effect which Wagner designed. It was not exuberant; it was dutiful. And there was not yet time for Brünnhilde to …. of duty. But of course, it is fairer to make up one's mind as to Mme. Easton's conception after she had the time to feel at ease in it. It was of good augury that when she came to the scene in which she announced to Siegmund his heroic doom, she accomplished that taxing episode with appropriateness and beauty of effect - her singing of "Sieglinde sieht Siegmund dort nicht" was exquisite in its half-comprehended pity, the gravity of its tenderness.
But indeed, much of Mme. Easton's singing last night was admirable. It was the best feature of her performance. Her acting of the role lacks freedom and ease and that large and sweeping grace which are essential to the part. She cannot yet, as has been said of another artist, "walk across the stage like one of the immortals;" she does not remind us that even the bearing of a shield and the carrying of a spear can be made to signify the ancient heroic beauty of the Sagas. Mme Easton is still constrained in the role; her movements minimize and even negate the character, instead of expressing it.
It is possible that she has not yet thought out all the implications of the part; for some of the things that she did last night were either badly calculated or not calculated at all - as when she addressed her passionate outburst of sympathy for Siegmund not to that unhappy Volsung, but to Mr. Bodanzky - for whom it was surely not intended. But we prefer not to make up our minds about Mme. Easton's Brünnhilde until we have witnessed it again.
The performance of the opera as a whole was earnest but heavy-handed, and subject to strange eccentricities. Mme. Jeritza's Sieglinde, for instance, which on occasion has been superb, was astonishingly out of the picture last night. What possessed her to turn the rapturous and primitive Sieglinde of the love-scene of the first act into a blend of the Venus of "Tannhäuser" and the Thais of Massenet's musk-sweet Alexandria? And is it possible that "Turandot," with its merciless music, is not the best thing in the world for Mme. Jeritza's voice? Her singing last night was much below her customary level - unsteady, poor in tone, sometimes unfaithful to the pitch. As for Mr. Whitehill's Wotan, Mr. Taucher's Siegmund, Mr. Gustafson's Hunding, and Mme. Matzenauer's Fricka, they are all thrice familiar here, and so this occasion must yield place to the new Brünnhilde.
What we must not omit to note, with pleasure, is that the Metropolitan has at last dispensed with the collapsible rear wall of Hunding's hut which for so long did duty as the great door that should open to the wind of the spring night. Last evening it was actually a door, and flew open precisely in the manner required by the stage directions, and all the Wagnerites in the audience heaved a sigh of gratified relief.

The Bush Administration recently encouraged Ethiopia to invade Somalia, which had, after a number of years of quasi-anarchy, come under the rule of Islamic clerics. Who knows, it might work! An alliance with Ethiopia from the mid-1970s onward sure did the Soviet Union a load of good!
The funny thing is that forging an alliance with Abyssinia to catch the Musselmen in a pincer movement has been the most legendary of all strategic brainstorms. The Crusaders had heard that their was a Christian king named Prester John somewhere on the other side of the Islamic world, and their grand strategy was to get him to open a second front in the war with Islam. Eventually, they narrowed Prester John's home down to the Christian kingdom in the Ethiopian highlands, and over several centuries diplomatic missions were exchanged. Thirty Ethiopians visited Pope Clement V at Avignon around 1306. In 1520, Father Francisco Alvares was part of a 13 man delegation from the King of Portugal to Prester John, King of Ethiopia. Alvares published a detailed account of his travels in 1540. He returned from Ethiopia with a letter from the king of Ethiopia to the king of Portugal expressing the hope that "we might tear out and cast forth the evil Moors, Jews, and heathens from [our] countries."

Q: Google analytics for multiple tenant tracking I have a multi tenant setup using the same HTML but different web urls
eg. tenant1.company.com , tenant2.company.com
since both use the same htmls the analytics code is same. How do i set up different codes for different tenants to get different data in GA

A: Unless you intend to analytics between the two tenants you should be using a different web property id for each one.   There is really no reason to be storing the data in the same Google Analytics account.
Its just a simple matter of changing the javascript snippet on each site.

I've been re-reading the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard and I just finished the third book. The fourth and final book comes out on the 15th (War Storm) so I have a solid 2 weeks before I can read it. I don't know about you, but I'm the type of person that has to finish the series before I can start on another one, otherwise I forget what happened. Which is why I decided to re-read Red Queen in the first place. I've been debating with myself, trying to decide if I should start a new book before War Storm comes out and just risk not remembering certain things. But I always have a book started.

Adequate nutrition can be an important aspect in the management of any disease process. There is an ever-growing body of evidence that supports the use of nutrition early on in many diseases. Early and appropriate nutrition can hasten recovery, shorten hospitalization, and even decrease the level of pain or discomfort in patients. The fact that in some cases our patients will not eat willingly on their own can present a challenge in the process of managing therapy. Force-feeding is difficult and stressful to patient, technician and owner alike. It is very difficult to administer an appropriate level of nutrition this way and can create food aversions as the patient learns to associate this experience with certain type of food.
So What Do We Do When Our Pets Won't Eat?
Feeding tubes allow us to provide valuable nutritional support to pets that are either unable to unwilling to eat. Some of the more common reasons for feeding tube placement are: Anorexia secondary to a chronic disease (chronic kidney disease, chronic pancreatitis); treatment of a critical disease that would benefit from early enteral nutrition (hepatic lipidosis in cats, acute pancreatitis); to bypass a dysfunctional part of the intestinal tract (esophageal disease/dysfunction); aid in hydration in pets that are intolerant of high levels of intravenous or subcutaneous fluids (congestive heart failure, low proteins); aid in administration of medication in fractious or aggressive patients. There are a variety of feeding tubes that can be placed. Selection depends on the disease process being treated as well as the individual patient's need, general health, and likely compliance. There are many types of feeding tubes used in veterinary practice. Some of the more common types are briefly described in the following section.
A Nasogastric (NG) tube is a small and easily placed tube placed for temporary use. It is placed by passing a small, flexible tube through the nose down the esophagus and into the stomach. This tube is designed only for short-term nutrition in a hospital setting. There is not incision made when placing this tube, so the recovery time is short and the tube can be utilized soon after placement. Often times, we will place an Elizabethan collar (E-collar) on patients with this type. We can only utilize a specially formulated liquid diet with this type of tube, and cannot administer medications through it.
An Esophagostomy tube (E-tube) is a feeding tube that is placed into the esophagus through a small incision in the left side of the neck. Because of its larger diameter, it can be utilized for a wider variety of diets, including blenderized whole foods. It terminates just before reaching the stomach. It is ideal for longer-term (weeks to months) nutritional supplementation, including in the home setting. Light maintenance to maintain the cleanliness of the tube and site of entry is required to prevent complications. Due to its length, this type of tube is most ideal for small and medium-sized breeds.
Most commonly referred to as a PEG tube, this tube is placed directly into the stomach through the body wall with the assistance of a fiber optic endoscope. This tube is more technically demanding to place but is well tolerated and can be used in all sizes of dogs for longer-term nutritional supplementation. Light maintenance to maintain the cleanliness of the tube site of entry is required to prevent complications. We recommend a t-shirt or stockinet should be worn by pets with PEG tubes to keep the tube from becoming caught on household objects.
Most commonly referred to as a PEG tube, this tube is placed directly into the stomach through the body wall with the assistance of a fiber optic endoscope.
Commonly referred to as a button tube, this tube most commonly replaces a PEG tube after a stoma (permanent opening) has formed in the body wall. This type of tube has a valve that prevents reflux of gastric contents. It is considered to be more cosmetic than a PEG tube, and is used in situations where supplemental food and/or water are thought to be a permanent necessity. Since the tube "hugs" the body, there is a decreased chance of accidental removal.

Nah, it's just a bug. :-) Before: table borders were missing as the whole table was missing. After: formatting of the border needs fixing.

Top Trends in Cloud Computing 2022
By Shelby Hiter
For many years, tech experts have focused on the trend of enterprises making the initial move to the cloud. But Flexera's 2021 "State of the Cloud Report" tells a slightly different story, with 92% of enterprises already operating on a multicloud strategy and 82% operating on a hybrid cloud strategy.
So if most users already work on some kind of cloud, how is their cloud experience transforming right now?
See below our top trends in cloud computing, which range from diversifying cloud infrastructure to considering how cloud use impacts the greater global environment:
Cloud Computing: 5 Trends to Watch
Growing hybrid and multicloud setups
Tightening internal and external security
Emphasis on Kubernetes and containerization
Cloud-native advances
Sustainability efforts
Also read: Big Data Trends in 2021 and The Future of Big Data
1. Growing hybrid and multicloud setups
Most major enterprises migrated data and operations to the cloud over the past several years, but during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, companies learned the importance of a distributed, flexible infrastructure.
Enterprise leaders are quickly recognizing that not all clouds work for all of their needs, and some of their legacy systems and applications work better on their existing on-premises infrastructure. These realizations, and a growing need for both flexibility and reliable security, have ushered in a period of growth for hybrid and multicloud setups.
Kaushik Joshi, global managing director for strategic alliances at Equinix, a digital infrastructure and integration company, explained why hybrid and multicloud setups are taking off:
"The past year has seen a significant shift from private and public cloud-only deployments to hybrid and multicloud strategies," Joshi said.
He went on to share Equinix's recent Global Tech Trends Survey – which polled more than 2,600 global IT decision-makers globally – and highlighted that hybrid cloud is now the most common choice, with 46% of respondents now using a hybrid cloud (a 12% increase since their previous survey).
"Hybrid cloud architectures represent the best path to engage with a rapidly changing infrastructure landscape, because it enables enterprises to more easily manage legacy, data-intensive processes, while simultaneously embracing new born-in-the-cloud applications."
As more organizations recognize the different strengths of private clouds, public clouds, industry-specific clouds, and legacy on-premises setups, more cloud and data center vendors are working hard to create hybrid cloud and multicloud connections among the disparate systems.
More on hybrid cloud: Hybrid Cloud and Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)
2. Tightening internal and external security
Security is a hot-button topic in the cloud computing world, with some users believing that cloud computing is more secure, while others believe it is less secure than their on-premises security infrastructure.
The truth that many of them are discovering is that managed vendor clouds and on-premises solutions alike need additional security support to combat a growing number of major data breaches and ransomware attacks.
Instead of relying on embedded, native security features, tech experts are advocating for the increased use of managed security service providers (MSSPs) and a better organizational policy for user access management. Organizations are recognizing that security incidents can come from both internal accidents and external actors, so it's important that all users are trained and compliant with an organization's security policies.
Amit Bareket, CEO and co-founder of Perimeter81, a cybersecurity firm, believes that zero-trust security is the answer to growing cloud security concerns:
"Organizations are coming to realize they should not automatically trust anything inside or outside their perimeter," Bareket said. "That perimeter is more or less erased. So, now, we are seeing companies verifying everything trying to connect to their IT systems.
"With zero-rust security, policy enforcement and protection are easily implemented by isolating applications and segmenting network access based on user permissions, authentication, and verification. By implementing the ZTNA model for secure network access, IT teams can have full control over who is granted access, enters, and leaves the network at all times. This model has gained much more recognition since being mandated in President Biden's executive order."
3. Emphasis on Kubernetes and containerization
A large number of enterprise cloud users are moving toward Kubernetes, containerization, and other custom cloud efforts for cloud-native application development.
Simply having a cloud or several clouds is not enough. Dividing those clouds up into containers makes it possible for companies to develop microservices and applications that require different storage, security, and configuration features.
Anthony Cusimano, solutions evangelist at Veritas Technologies, an enterprise backup and recovery software company, explained that many users are leaning into containerization for the cost and efficiency benefits as well:
"The entire world is starting to shift its attention to Kubernetes and the orchestration of containers," Cusimano said. "It's the next iterative shift — we went from physical to virtual to cloud, and now we're going to microservices and containers.
"They make the hybrid cloud more cost effective and improve performance across the board. That's why you're starting to see some of the biggest cloud providers offering turnkey Kubernetes solutions."
4. Cloud-native advances
Most of the top cloud vendors in the market offer separate advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, but a growing number of them are offering these features as cloud-native technology.
Tapan Patel, senior manager of AI and cloud at SAS, a major analytics software company, explained what expanding containerization and cloud-native features will mean for enterprises:
"Cloud-native technologies will usher in a new era of distributed enterprise analytics software designed to run wherever containers and a Kubernetes platform is available," Patel said. "Cloud-native technologies will also lead and help companies to build, migrate, and modernize customer-facing and analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) apps more easily and at scale."
Patel also explained that customers will be able to test out new analytics and AI operations when they adopt clouds with cloud-native features.
"Customers can get a taste of new and emerging analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities delivered in the cloud to attract new use cases and new users," Patel said. "Analytics in the cloud can be used as an 'ideation sandbox,' which allows a lot of new users to build prototypes. Each phase of machine learning projects (build, train, deploy) requires a different infrastructure and deployment considerations. Because the cloud is elastic, it provides the right level of scalability and availability."
5. Sustainability efforts
Sustainability and climate care efforts are growing across industries, including technology and the cloud market. The technology industry is known for consuming a large amount of energy, and although cloud is typically more energy efficient than on-premises infrastructure, the growth of AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) is causing cloud technology to work harder than ever.
Ali Fenn, president of ITRenew, an expert in giving data center infrastructure a second life, explained that the circular cloud, a circular economic model of cloud asset recycling, is the next answer to sustainability concerns:
"Sustainability is a massive trend in IT – from enterprises seeking to ensure cloud providers leverage renewable energy in data centers to enterprises increasingly seeking to minimize their own supply carbon footprint via sustainably sourced, circular IT solutions," Fenn said.
"Not only is this circular model good for sustainability goals, but it also makes a lasting impact on the bottom line. IT and business leaders are starting to realize they don't need to allocate additional money, time, and resources — or compromise performance — to have a more sustainable cloud computing model.
"Coupled with an unstable supply chain, the circular cloud saves more than just the cost of supplies with its closed-loop supply chain that eliminates delays and constraints associated with inventory and shipment (a pain point for providers since pre-pandemic times)."
Although few cloud vendors have adopted the circular model, most are changing their business models to emphasize more renewable energy use, carbon offsets, and data center efficiency boosts.

The Illusory Self – Dead Gods (Self-Released)
Sunday, 21st April 2019 By Katarina McGinn
Last year, The Illusory Self brought about their first release in the form of two songs in Praise the Fanatic. It laid some solid groundwork for the band as being willing to take some influences from a number of extreme genres and give them a twist/fresh coat of paint. While two songs isn't always enough to judge a band, their new EP Dead Gods gives a decisive verdict that they are indeed a rising act worth investing some time into.
Like their previous release, Dead Gods is full of influences that run the gamut from progressive to black and death metal (and some of it's subgenres like 'core and melodeath if you want to really spell it out). But more important than the mix of influences is the way that the band puts it all together. There's a slightly different feeling to The Illusory Self that the standard take. There's a somewhat eerie and horror-esque feeling to the title track, as it wades through some dark riffs – particularly in its slower moments and takes more of those epic, blackened vibes into the murky and death metal-y riffs (with just a pinch of the directness of deathcore). Then there's the wisely named "Incendiary," with uses some energetic blastbeats and burly riffs to bludgeon when it opens, only to shift gears into something more progressive and uplifting as it progresses – later blurring the two components together only to then drop some crushing riffs and a well-placed sample towards its finale. These are only two of the tracks (we'll save what is quite possibly the strongest and inventive track, "Inclined to Shadows" to your imagination), but you begin to see how the band can put a more unique spin on things many are content to follow the well-beaten path with.
Dead Gods is a promising EP for those who want something a little different out of their extreme metal. Seek it out on Bandcamp and you will undoubtedly come away impressed with the way that The Illusory Self is writing, and get on board now as they inevitably take off in the future.

Learn to Break-through the Stories
You can't learn from Stories....unless you learn how to break-through the stories.
This forever has intrigued me. Despite decades of listening to winning stories from iconic leaders, Managements have yet failed to throw up highly effective leaders who can create 'the best places to work' despite the plethora of literature they have liberally been exposed to, until now. This piece attempts to explore the reasons for this failure or rather a very low rate of transfer of learning from these great stories told.
We love listening to stories. From the time we were children we heard stories. Stories from grand parents, moms , aunts and favourite teachers. Stories of heroes, of their valour, of successes and victories. We grew up in life, loving stories. Whilst these stories engaged our imagination with vivid descriptions and acts of heroism, we unfortunately ended up hero worshipping but never waited to stand and evaluate the truth that lead to success, in these stories and fables.
As we grew up and moved into our Corporate roles, we extended our love for stories into this domain, as well. And like we did earlier, we continued to keep looking out for 'heroic break-throughs' more than practical transferability of truths in these stories....particularly, when these stories dealt with leaders, leadership styles and leadership best practices.
In a world where communications has become a fine art and story-telling on public forums an integral part of brand management, we have heard all kinds of winning stories. Corporate heroes tell storied based on their acts of valour and management...stories of business turn-around in challenging contexts, stories of culture transformations and management of diversities and adversities. The more implausible the story, greater the desire to believe it without verification of ground level truths,operating realities and facts !! Most stories, when singularly heard, clearly seem to defy the critical faculties of the listeners. But yet we prefer to believe, unverified.
This clarifies and explains why, despite scrolls of literature being written on the theme of leadership over a long period of time and volumes of documented case studies and other material being made available on these themes, practical lessons seem to have escaped and not learnt by real time Corporate Managers. Corporates keep floundering with the same issues, problems and concerns.
So much is the search and focus on leadership heroics even in these corporate stories that we tend to seek & sniff-out episodes of 'magical' inspiration in these stories to tell, rather than seeking to pursue insights which could be transferable to the listeners of these stories. We do not clinically confront logic and evidence and therefore practical transferability of these inspirational lessons is rather low. We get mesmerized by the charisma and at times celebrate the traits and persona of the protagonist rather than appreciating the context, the insights and the strategy of the 'hero'.
How do we therefore need to listen to these stories...? What do we decipher...? How do we disintegrate the drama and pick out quintessence of the transferable lessons to be learnt ? The 5 things I would suggest are :
☝Firstly, remove the clutter of protagonist traits from the storyline. Study them separately for personality development courses, should you like. Unless you do that, charismatic traits overpower and takes over focus and attention from the real transferable learnings. You keep searching for magical shortcuts for imitation in their traits and fail.
☝☝Confront and examine the logic and evidence that backs the stories of these leaders. First hand experiences of people who worked at that time and in the place where that script was played-out in real time, is something totally different than what the listeners are expected to believe. Get to the quintessence. Sometimes the unspoken factors of success never really get focussed in the stories and the listeners in absence may keep floundering around the bush, pushing wrong levers without success. Story of Alexander and his exploits as recorded in Persian history is totally different from that as recorded in Greek history though the action was played out in the same arena. Jack Welch, Lee Iococa and such other heroic stories as played out, not far different.
👌Try to un-reveal the real link between the prevailing situation, the insights available to the 'hero' and how he developed the strategy. Lessons of transferable success often lie here in this link and not so much in the seven habits of the leader !!!
☝👌Thereafter, seek and understand the helpful state of play as it prevailed with contributions of the other supporting players to the theme. We agree on criticality of effective teams to success of the group but when it comes to stories, we study only the leader's contributions in isolation of and ignoring the many sacrifices and contributions of the supporting teams.
👌☝👍Understand the enabling environment. In absence of that, large scale group interventions fail. In most of the stories, these never get recalled and celebrated. In fact, often times in stories, the environment is shown diametrically different to heighten the drama effect and drum-up impact of the hero.
We try to imitate lessons learnt from great protagonists of inspiring stories. And fail...for we do not really learn what we need to from these stories but get carried away by the thrill and drama of the context and style & charisma of the leader.
Thus stories become stories and legends get never recreated due to learnings that failed. Stories are stories...real life is different, isn't it ?

Shafir named regional finalist for State Farm Coaches All-America Team
By Brian DeBenedictis
Naama Shafir helped cut down the net in Savage Arena after the Rockets won the regular-season Mid-American Conference Championship.
Toledo junior Naama Shafir has been named one of 52 regional finalists for the State Farm Coaches' All-America Team, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association has announced.
The State Farm Coaches' All-America Team selection committee will review the candidates Monday, March 21, and trim the list to 40 finalists, all of whom will be in the running for selection to the 10-member All-America squad.
Shafir was one of six student-athletes recognized from Region 4, which comprises the Mid-American Conference, Conference USA and the Ohio Valley Conference. The three-time all-league honoree is joined by fellow MAC players Kourtney Brown from Buffalo and Lauren Prochaska from Bowling Green. Also representing Region 4 is Tacarra Hayes from Tennessee Tech, Chasity Reed from Arkansas-Little Rock and Courtney Taylor from Houston.
The 2010-11 first-team All-MAC selection is tops on the squad in scoring (14.3 points per game) and assists (5.1 assists per game), as well as ranking second in steals (1.4 steals per game), free-throw percentage (73.9 percent), three-point field-goal percentage (36.4 percent) and minutes per game (30.5).
Shafir is the second UT player to be honored by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association over the last two seasons; Tanika Mays was a regional honoree in 2009-10.
Shafir and the 2010-11 MAC regular-season champions will return to the hardwood Saturday, March 19, in the second round of the WNIT against the winner of tonight's game between Tennessee Tech-Auburn. The tip-off is slated for noon in Savage Arena.
UT advanced to the second round of the postseason tourney with a 15-4 run over the final three-plus minutes vs. Delaware to claim a 58-55 come-from-behind victory Wednesday.

Free speech for computers, and nine other DARPA ideas
DARPA computer scientist and philosopher Paul Cohen wants you to think
By Martyn Williams
Senior Correspondent, IDG News Service | PT
If free speech for humans is worth fighting for, is free speech for computers worth fighting against?
That's the type of question you might expect from someone who holds a doctor of philosophy degree in computer science and psychology and it's exactly what the audience at DARPA's Wait, What? conference in St. Louis heard on Thursday.
Posing the question was Paul Cohen, who joined the Department of Defense-run research organization from the University of Arizona in 2013.
"Are you attracted or appalled by the idea of machines that have ideas and know how to express them?," he continued. "What if you were lonely? What if they were bigots? What if you could each change the other's mind?"
It was one of 10 thought-provoking ideas delivered by Cohen during a 5-minute speech to the crowd of computer scientists, academic and researchers -- a presentation that should provide food for thought for anyone interested in computer science and machine learning.
Here's his presentation:
Martyn Williams covers technology news for IDG and is based in San Francisco. He was previously based in Tokyo.

In 2002, the European Union adopted a Directive which introduced some noise-related operating restrictions. This Directive was based upon the "Balanced Approach", agreed and recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). The Balanced Approach comprises of four principal elements:
reduction of aviation noise at source (by making aircraft quieter through noise standards)
managing the land around airports in a sustainable way
adapting operational procedures to reduce the noise impact on the ground; and
if required, introducing operating restrictions.
The European Commission has proposed to replace this Directive with a Regulation with the aim of introducing noise-related operating restrictions on an airport-by-airport basis. The basic framework will be ICAO's balance approach translated into a combination of noise-mitigation measures, cost-benefit analysis and consultation. The scope will be for EU airports with more than 50,000 movements per year.
The proposal also includes other operational constraints and restrictions on airlines – for example, use of 'marginally compliant aircraft'.
AIRE position
Along with the other airlines associations, AIRE would like the following amendments included in the Commission's proposal:
A less stringent definition of "marginally compliant aircraft
A full reference to the 'Balanced Approach' (i.e. meaning the method defined in Volume 1, Part V of Annex 16 to the Chicago Convention)
A lower administrative burden on airlines, as the Commission should obtain noise data first from Eurocontrol and Member States' sources, before requesting it from airlines. In any case, the Commission should bear the cost of providing the data
The inclusion of "economic effects, including potential effects on regional economies" in the list of assessment elements for noise-mitigation measures mentioned in the Annex to the Regulation.

Apex PRD pottery program flourishes in new home
The Apex PRD pottery program started in 1980, when Standard Oil closed its gas station at 58th Ave. and Garrison Street, then donated the building to the former North Jeffco Park and Recreation District. More than three decades have passed and the little structure on the corner no longer exists. However, the program is still going strong and it was recently transplanted to a new home at the Apex Simms Street Center, 11706 W. 82nd Ave.
Instructor Judy Iannacito has led the program since 1981, and she is still inspired every day by her students. "They are my heroes," she says of them. "They are doing something to break out of the routine, get the creativity flowing and bring out the artist inside."
Judy emphasizes the personal creative process and the sense of artistic community. She has a devoted following, some of whom have studied with her for decades. For example, one student, Irene Gimeno, "retired" from pottery classes just last year. Irene will be turning 90 years old this October.
Students also give of themselves to support the activity, Judy says. The most recent example was the relocation. "Needless to say, it was a daunting project to moving a pottery studio and all the equipment and supplies. Students volunteered their time to help out, and that was much appreciated."
Another aspect of the Apex PRD pottery program is its inclusive philosophy. "Art is for everyone," Judy says. "It's not something to put on a pedestal; everyone can benefit from its creative value, as well as therapeutic and social value." During a recent class, Judy demonstrated this idea by giving students their own creative space while helping with technique, direction and support.
Although the former gas station served its purpose well, the new studio is a big improvement. Lighting, use of space and building security have all taken a step forward. Judy also helped determine the room's layout during the renovation of the current facility. Since the studio is in the same building with the gymnastics, dance and cheerleading programs, Judy says plans are in the works to add more youth pottery programs. "Right now we're offering Parent/Child Clay Playtime, an activity for parents and siblings of kids attending other classes," she notes.
Other upcoming summer youth programs include parent/child pottery, Wheel Throwing for Teens, Clay Creations for ages 6-12, and a multi-media Kids' Art Camp. There are also plans in the works for classes in beading and fused glass. Meanwhile, beginning and intermediate adult pottery classes are offered during daytime and evening time slots.
"Now that we're in the new building, we are planning to increase participation and awareness about the program," Judy says. "User friendly" is now she describes the classes; beyond that, it's a wonderful, hands-on way to explore and enjoy creativity and be part of a unique art community.

Longines Watches Beijing Wangfujing Shuang Store Opens At The Same Time Lin Zhiling Replaces 'one Day Store Manager'
26. July 2014 Uncategorized
A few years ago, no matter from the data display or from the media population, we were told that the cold winter of the watch industry has arrived, and the closed shops have happened one after another. On April 24, 2017, Longines opened its two stores in Wangfujing, Beijing on the occasion of its 185th anniversary. The flagship store of Longines Watches Beijing Wangfujing Department Store and Longines Beijing's 168 Wangfujing Street store were opened at the same time. Opening, whether or not this can represent the recovery of the entire watch industry, at least can prove that Longines is still very good. On the same day, Longines' elegant image ambassador Lin Zhiling turned into a day shop manager and selected spring and summer wrist watches for guests.
New store ribbon cutting
The two newly opened stores are located in Beijing Wangfujing Street, one of Beijing's busiest streets. This year also coincides with the 185th anniversary of Longines. The Longines Boya series of watches has launched a number of boutique watches under the brand in Beijing, explaining to the watch enthusiasts of Longines the insistence and heritage of Swiss watchmaking.
Lin Zhiling, Longines Elegant Ambassador
The new store presents a simple and bright main body style with Longines' iconic dark blue tone, and carefully interprets the brand concept of 'elegant attitude, true personality'. The store has a wide range of watches for consumers in Beijing to buy, including the brand's elegant, watchmaking tradition, sports, equestrian, classic replica and other styles of masterpieces. The elaborate VIP exclusive service area brings intimate service and shopping experience to customers.
Longines Elegant Ambassador Lin Zhiling speaks
At the event, Lin Zhiling, an elegant ambassador for Longines, wore a Boya series watch in person to speak at the scene. On the same day, he was the 'day manager' of the day, recommended and selected watches for the customers of the day, and shared his wear. The feeling of Boya watch is that it feels comfortable and can add the necessary embellishment to the wrist with rose gold and diamond elements.
Longines Boya Series Stainless Steel Rose Gold Diamond Women's Watch L4.309.5.88.7
The watch worn by Lin Zhiling on the spot is a Boya series stainless steel rose gold diamond watch, model L4.309.5.88.7. The watch is the perfect embodiment of classic design and fluent lines, which highlights the typical characteristics of Longines. The steel rose gold case with a diameter of 25.50 mm is set with 52 diamonds, the white mother-of-pearl dial is decorated with diamond hour markers, and it is equipped with the L595 automatic mechanical movement. The current domestic price of this watch is 32,000 yuan.
Summary: On the 185th anniversary of Longines, Lin Zhiling brought a lot of Boya series watches to watch enthusiasts to explain Longines' adherence to and inheritance of Swiss watchmaking. I also hope that the watch industry will slowly become hot like the current weather.

Fantastic Classic Ladies' Watches From Four Major Brands
Nowadays, more and more people like clocks. Some people appreciate the exquisite decoration of watches. Some people like to explore complicated functions. Some people also like the secret timekeeping function. many. The smaller the crafts, the more concentrated the wisdom of mankind and the complex craftsmanship. With the continuous development of watch brands, watches are no longer the decoration world for men, and many indicators are also very neutral to female customers. Therefore, different styles of women's watches have emerged as the times require, and they are wonderful and beautiful.
Piaget Altiplano Enamel G0A37148 watch
Comment on the watch: The peony is supported as the king of flowers, and the culture and paintings are very rich. The peony is known as the 'National Fragrance', 'Rich Flower' and 'King of Flowers'. In Piaget's timepiece field, this flower is perfectly presented. The case of this watch is set with 18k white gold diamonds and is set with 78 round diamonds (approximately 0.7 carats). It surrounds the outside of the watch and shines brilliantly.
The 38 mm dial is completely filled with a pink peony flower. The master watchmaker used the silk enamel process on the pink dial to depict this wonderful flower.

Summary: Today's watch design, under the premise of ensuring a high-quality movement, attaches more importance to the overall decorative effect, making the design sense of the watch more artistic and humanistic. The prices of the above several watches are slightly expensive. They are classic ladies watches from each brand. From the shape and decoration to the movement, they show the beauty of women from different angles. In view of the different aesthetics of different women, the display of pictures will also have certain limitations, so when you like a certain series, you need to carefully understand and contact the real thing in order to discover the differences.

Q: images display in jsp from servlet I have uploaded images to server machine folder like c:images.
for this i have written "web.xml"<context-param>
    <description>Location to display uploaded file</description>
    <param-name>file-display</param-name>
    <param-value>
         C:/images/
     </param-value>
</context-param>
it is uploading perfectly well.
Now i need to display those images in a jsp with     tag.
i am finding the path using
filepath =  getServletContext().getInitParameter("file-display");

in servlet
and also attached image name.
but how to represent in jsp with"             " tag.
is there another way to diplay images in jsp from server location folder.

A: You should be able to access the ServletContext in jsp using the predefined application variable:
application.getInitParameter("file-display");

If you are using Servlet API 3.0 (for EL 2.2, which supports calling methods in expressions) you can do:
${application.getInitParameter("file-display")}

Musicians today are fortunate to be in a position of having an abundance of riches when it comes to available gear choices. In this article, I will discuss how to rationalize your pedal gear and make the best choices for your musical endeavours.
The first thing to consider is what type of music you are playing and what you need to support it. Are you in a pop cover band entertaining at special events and bars? Are you playing experimental music? Are you playing original songs? The many forms your music can take should inform your choices.
For example, if you are playing original or experimental music, it is helpful to include gear that will assist you in carving out your own sound. Not only is the selection of individual pedals and other gear important, but the way gear combines to produce the final sound that enters your amp is just as crucial. If you're trying to find your sound, or create a new sound, going beyond a basic suite by adding specialty pedals is something to consider.
Having a vast array of pedals is not a bad thing but it begs the question of how best to use them. A pedal array, carefully chosen, calibrated and executed, can add a professional sheen to any song and take it to a new level.
Check out our selection of pedals here!
So let's talk about some ways to rationalize your pedal gear:
1. Calibrate volumes. Put simply, this is the art of making sure that as you introduce a pedal into your delivery, on its own or combined with other effects, its volume is complementary to the volume of your other pedals. When you engage a pedal, you don't want it to either be too loud or too soft. It needs to sit well in the array and enhance the overall sound, rather than hijack it. If you need to get an edge out of a pedal to ensure a solo doesn't get buried in the mix, for example, make sure that edge is just enough and not excessive. Alternatively, you could introduce a pedal designed to boost the sound for solos.
2. Be discerning. Ask yourself whether the gear you are adding is necessary. How often will you be using it, and when it's used, does it make a positive difference to your sound? There is nothing wrong with having a lot of gear (many of us do), but it's more a question of knowing what to use in your delivery and what to use at home for casual playing.
3. Get the basics right and build from there. Arguably distortion, chorus, delay and volume pedals are staples for any serious performer. Master the basics and ensure you are fluid in your ability to use what these pedals offer, both as standalones and as part of the overall chain. Clicking pedals on and off at the right times in a song is no trivial matter. It requires skill and practice.
4. Tame the parameters. Most pedals will provide onboard dials to adjust and set the features of the pedal. Tweaking these settings can give you that precise sound you have been looking for.
However, keep in mind that tweaking pedal controls affects the individual pedal and the sound sent to the next pedal(s) in the chain. The seemingly endless adjustments and tweaks that can be made to each pedal in your setup can very quickly throw off-kilter the sound you were striving to achieve in the first place. While it is tempting to get into precise tweaking, the ability to tweak can become maddening as it continues to affect everything else in your effects chain.
When you are approaching that magic sound you have been working toward, make note of each setting on your pedals and resist the temptation to overtweak. At some point, freeze your sound and live with it for a while.
5. Decide how much colouring your amp is going to do. It is best to ensure the combination of effects being sent to the amp through your pedal chain, and any built-in effects the amp may have that you wish to utilize, supports the overall sound you are trying to achieve.
In the end, rationalizing your rig comes down to being thoughtful about how each piece adds to or takes away from the overall sound you are trying to achieve. It also involves knowing when enough is enough, knowing when less is more and being judicious about adding bells and whistles.
Following these five steps will help you to tame and shape your sound, and deliver professional results. It will also help you get the most out of your gear.

Objective: To date, seizures in relation to arteriovenous malformations (AVM) have been a secondary target of most studies. The insufficient evaluation, in conjunction with the lack of consistent seizure outcome assessment, has made it been difficult to draw conclusions about seizure outcome after radiosurgery for AVM. This study aimed to determine the effect of radiosurgery on seizure outcome depending on AVM obliteration and on the development of new seizure in patients with AVM.
Methods: Between 1997 and 2006, 161 consecutive patients underwent radiosurgery for unruptured AVM and were retrospectively assessed with a mean follow-up of 89.8 months by their medical records, updated clinical information, and, when necessary, direct patient contact. Seizure outcome was assessed using the Engel seizure frequency scoring system.
Results: Of the 86 patients with a history of seizure before radiosurgery, 76.7% (66/86) were seizure-free and 58.1% (50/86) were medication-free at the last follow-up visit. Of the patients who achieved AVM obliteration, 96.7% (58/60) were seizure-free while 30.8% (8/26) of those patients who did not achieve AVM obliteration were seizure-free (p = 0.001). The proportion of patients who were medication-free was 81.7% (49/60) of the patients with obliteration and 3.8% (1/26) of patients without obliteration (p < 0.001). Of the 75 patients with no history of seizure before radiosurgery, 10 had provoked seizures due to the direct and indirect radiosurgical influences after radiosurgery.
Conclusions: Although radiosurgery tends to cause seizures temporarily, the radiosurgery may improve seizure outcomes in patients with AVM-related seizures, especially in patients with AVM obliteration.
