Here To There Dept.
Farm Barge
Couple of questions: How many of us can honestly say that we maintain ample inventories of oat groats and golden flaxseed, corn berries and wildflower tea, dried spilanthes and organic einkorn? At afternoon-treat time, are we adequately prepared to heed our children's requests for goat's-milk caramels and artisanal almond-pistachio nougat bars?
Early last month, the Ceres, a thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot, manifestly homemade, mainly plywood, twin-masted sailing barge, departed from Ferrisburgh, Vermont, on Lake Champlain, bearing fifteen tons of Vermont- and New York-grown foodstuffs (see above)—mostly non-perishable, the rest fall storage crops—bound for New York City. Aboard was a crew of three, assisted by a land-based logistical team of six. Under the flag of the Vermont Sail Freight Project ("a zero-emissions food-trading network that builds community"), the Ceres made ten stops on its way down the Hudson River, with one-day markets at most of them. About a thousand pounds of cargo were added along the way—apples and ginger root in the Catskills town of Hudson, jams and jellies in Beacon. Still, by the time the boat reached Nyack, twenty miles north of the George Washington Bridge and three days shy of an appointment at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, it was four tons lighter.
On market day in Nyack, the Ceres had to be tied at the end of a seventy-five-yard-long pier, with its cargo hauled the rest of the way by hand (also back, shoulders, legs). That the on-board digital printer had run out of ink before generating a master list of pre-orders didn't help. Most customers waited patiently and some wandered down the pier. Deborah and Wil Tyler, the principals of Pie Lady & Son, originally a Nyack cottage industry, came to collect ten bushels of Empire apples, the whole lot destined for an assembly line of double-crusted Sail Freight Apple Pies. Dense clouds had gathered, driven by a northeasterly breeze, but a local kibbitzer, Peter Huber, assured the captain, Steve Schwartz, "It's not gonna rain. It wouldn't dare rain on me." Three minutes later, as the drizzle began, Schwartz and his first mate, Jordan Finkelstein, got busy battening down the hatches—the first time that had been necessary since the voyage began, fourteen days earlier.
None of this seemed to faze Erik Andrus, a rice farmer from Ferrisburgh, who is also the Vermont Sail Freight Project's director and the Ceres's builder. "People think this is the coolest thing ever," he said. "And I tell them that this is probably the first commercial sailing vessel bringing food to Nyack in almost a hundred years."
A compactly built, moonfaced fellow in his early forties, Andrus wore a white V.S.F.P. T-shirt and a navy beret and spent much of the day at the cashier's table. During lulls, he would strap on his Ferrari accordion and play and sing, alternating between French ballads and Irish jigs. At one point, he boarded the Ceres and stepped down into its snug cabin. "The boat is in many ways the least important part of this," he said. "What this is really about is farming, community, energy adaptation, and revitalizing food systems in our region. The boat is a means to an end. The aha! moment was when I figured out that there was enough enthusiasm among my peers, my group of farmers, that we could pull this off at a scale big enough to make a statement on the regional level. We're not going to change the future of global freight shipping with one little fifteen-ton barge, but we're making a difference for the farmers and we're getting people excited about positive change for waterfront civic life. New York City has to come to terms with the fact that it's an island and a maritime city above everything else."
During most of the voyage, southern headwinds, or an absence of wind, had forced the crew to depend upon their backup energy source—a twenty-horsepower outboard motor (so much for zero emissions)—but on the final leg Captain Schwartz managed to bring the Ceres into New York Harbor under full sail.
At the Brooklyn Navy Yard, she moored adjacent to a warehouse owned by the Agger Fish Corporation, a seafood wholesaler, and every bit of cargo was moved inside for a Saturday market. A steady flow of customers arrived throughout the afternoon, and specialty food shops had been enlisted to take whatever remained unsold—mostly flour and potatoes—at the end of the weekend.
Outside the warehouse, Gregg Zuman, the proprietor of Revolution Rickshaws, a fleet of pedicabs, oversaw the delivery of about half a ton of goods to Quinciple, a Brooklyn and Manhattan farmer's-market subscription food service.
"You could say that we've facilitated a last-mile carbon-neutral delivery," Zuman said. "This is like a dream for me. The Vermont Sail Freight Project was the missing link in a carbon-optimized supply chain." ♦

Contain more than triple the amount of ink compared to genuine Epson Daisy cartridges.
I would recommend the use of these cartridges however you need to be fully aware that the cost savings do sometimes get negated when you consider how often you need to change the cartridges and how much is wasted. I will try the batch I bought recently and if there is still no improvement may decide to try another supplier.
Our compatibles for this printer only need ot be fitted as a full set when you initially switch from using genuine Epson cartridges to compatibles. Once the printer is running on our compatibles then you can replace cartridges individualy as and when needed.
This issue is not isilated to our own brand. The situation would be exactly the same when using compatibles from any other manufactuer.
no more to be said. PERFECT !!!
very good ink and plenty of it.
Excellent quality, and value for money.
Fantastic price,cheaper t Han anywhere else.
compatible with the XP-205 range, decent inkage and colour fast.

Beginning Guitar (1) We'll work on the fundamentals of rhythm guitar: how to form standard chords (G, D, A, E, C) and how to change from one to another, how to play songs in a few simple keys, and how to read simple chord-change notations. Bring a capo, several flat picks (including a heavy one), and extra strings.
Clawhammer Banjo (2–3) This old-time style, used by The New Lost City Ramblers, Any Old Time, and The Freight Hoppers, is the precursor to bluegrass banjo. It's done as a downstroke with the back of the fingernail instead of fingerpicks. We'll cover pull-offs, hammer-ons, drop-thumbing, and standard banjo tunings. We'll do one or two tunes per day, by ear and with tab.
KEVIN CARR (Camp Instrumentalist)
WILLIAM COULTER
Begining Fingerstyle Guitar (2) This class will cover basic fingerstyle guitar techniques, including hand positions, tone production, standard and alternate tunings, and technical development exercises. Students will learn a few simple fingerstyle solos, and we will discuss general ideas about music, listening, performance, stage fright, and practicing.
Celtic Guitar (4–5) This class will focus on traditional Celtic music. We will explore musical expression, variation, dynamics, ornamentation, and, in particular, traditional song airs. We will cover hand positions, free and rest strokes, use of fingernails, tone production, and communicating the melody. We may also cover traditional dance accompaniment, and playing with a pick.
PAT DONOHUE
Stealin' From Chet (3) Arrangements, licks, and tricks from the repertoire of Nashville great Chet Atkins. Learn how to lift 'em off the master's records just like the pros do. Special attention to "thumb style" guitar, the type also used by Merle Travis and Jerry Reed. Don't get upset when you're stealin' from Chet!
Fingerpicking Improvisation (4) Learn how to come up with spontaneous chord sequences, position chord playing, turnarounds, walking bass, and other devices while playing fingerpicked tunes. We'll emphasize blues and blues-like songs in the styles of players from Big Bill Broonzy to Joe Pass.
TAMMY FASSAERT
Hands-on Bass for Beginners (1–2) Perhaps the easiest instrument on which to pick up the basics, we'll have you jamming to simple songs in no time. Approaching the bass as a rhythmic support instrument, we'll learn root-fifth and fingerboard patterns to follow chord changes, while emphasizing good timing, technique, and tasteful playing.
Flatpicking Cowboy and Bluegrass Songs (2) The flatpick is your friend! We'll learn the whys and hows of the little plastic triangle and use it to liven up your playing. Using cowboy and bluegrass songs, we'll progress from simple strumming to picking alternating bass notes and bass runs. Other possible topics include the use of a capo, transposing, chord numbering, and strumming styles.
Improvisation (3–5) How to take an improvised solo over swing, blues, rock and other popular styles. We will cover some scales and arpeggios, but the emphasis will be on playing by ear, and using the structure and melody of the song as the basis of the solo. All instruments are welcome.

Multi-Part Vocal Harmony and Arranging (3–5) We'll cover 3-, 4-, 5-, and even 6(!)-part vocal arrangements in gospel, jazz, r&b, and ethnic fusion styles. We'll also discuss how to arrange multiple vocal parts. Class arrangements will be written in standard notation, but we'll also use our ears to learn parts.
PETER LANGSTON
Jug Band Music (all levels) Black jug bands in the '30s and revival white bands in the '60s agreed: "It sounds so sweet. Aaah, it's hard to beat." Why? It's easy to play and it's fun! Join the UCCRJS (Upper California Coastal Ragtime Jug Stompers) as a singer, guitarist, jug-player, kazooist, or…you name it. All are welcome.

Tons of fun with lots of practical information and experience.
Harmony Singing By Ear (All) Learn how to sing harmony parts by ear, whether it be in duets or trios. We'll explore the basics of harmony theory, practice some songs with pre-arranged harmonies, and then do a bunch of harmonizing by ear in a variety of styles.
BARBARA MENDELSOHN (Camp Instigator)
French-Canadian Songs (All) Get down-REALLY down-singing gorgeous old French songs of death and betrayal! Don't speak French? No problem. Written lyrics, pronunciation, harmonies, chords, and translations are included. All voices and instruments are welcome.
Country Blues Survey (3–4) We'll work through songs originally performed by people like John Hurt, Furry Lewis, and Elizabeth Cotton, in a variety of keys and tunings. We will also focus on developing the listening skills needed to figure out songs on your own, working from recorded sources.
Fingerpicking Jazz Standards (4–5) We will focus on arranging fingerpicked versions of jazz standards on the guitar at the rate of one song per class period. Emphasis will be placed on exploring different chord voicing options, grooving, and deciding what key will suit a song well and make it easier to play.

Swing Band (2–5) Students will form ensembles (duos, trios, quartets, depending on the class size) and play swing tunes under the teachers' supervision. Topics will include keys, tempos, arrangements, intros, solos, and endings. Co-taught with René Worst.
SUSAN STREITWIESER
Developing a Vocal Style: Pop, Folk, Rock, Country, and Blues (2–4) Why do some good singers sound merely okay while others are memorable? Style has a lot to do with it. Dynamics, phrasing, fills, ornamentation, and melody alterations help bring the best out in a song. We'll start with simple ways to ornament a line and move to more extravagant stylizing tricks during the week.
Elements of Singing (2–4) Think you can't sing? Think you can sing, but want to know if you're doing it right? Getting hoarse? Can't hit that high note? Terrified of singing? Using exercises and songs, we'll go through the elements of singing: breathing, posture, resonance, increasing your range and volume, staying in tune, how to warm up, and coping with nervousness.
SUZY THOMPSON
Cajun Band Lab (2 and up) In ensembles (duos on up), we'll explore the French dance music of southwest Louisiana, using fiddles, guitars, accordion (one-row diatonic), maybe bass or triangle too, and our voices. We'll concentrate on getting a real Cajun groove going, and on the nuances of style that give Cajun music its distinctive flavor. Bring a tape recorder and blank tapes, and be ready to sing in French!
Old-Time Fiddle (2–4) We'll explore old-time tunes from mountain fiddlers like Art Stamper, Emmet Lundy, John Salyer, Marcus Martin, Benton Flippen, and other players from Kentucky, West Virginia, and North Carolina. Some are rocking dance tunes, others are mournful and moody, many are in open tunings. Other instruments are welcome too. Bring a tape recorder and blank tapes.
Bass Styles While You Wait (3–5) Bass lines custom catered to your needs: jazz, latin and swing styles, walking lines, and soloing, with attention paid to functional harmony (the tools you need to improvise). Some cool tricks, and lots of sage advice!
Swing Band (2–5) Students will form ensembles (duos, trios, quartets, depending on the class size) and play swing tunes under the teachers' supervision. Topics will include keys, tempos, arrangements, intros, solos, and endings. Co-taught with Jennifer Scott.

A multi-perspective analysis of the request e-mail discourse of a team of education professionals in Hong Kong
posted on 2022-03-28, 21:55 authored by Chung Kwong Victor Ho
A multi-perspective analysis of the request e-mail discourse of a team of education professionals in Hong Kong. -- This thesis analyses the discourse of the request e-mails exchanged among a group of professional teachers of English in a Hong Kong public education institution. As its analytical framework, the study draws on the 'multi-perspectived approach' to analysing professional discourse proposed by Candlin (1997: xiv) and outlined by Bhatia (2004). The request e-mails, categorized basically as downward (from leaders to subordinates), lateral (among subordinates), and upward (from subordinates to leaders), are analysed by treating the discourse as text, genre, professional practice, and social practice. Seeing the discourse as text, the study examines the lexico-grammatical features of the clauses of the e-mails by drawing upon systemic functional grammar (Halliday 1994, Halliday and Matthiessen 2004). It also discusses the use of intertextuality (Fairclough 1992, Candlin and Maley 1997) in the production of the request e-mail discourse. Seeing the discourse as genre and professional practice, the study discusses the rhetorical move structure of the request e-mails in relation to the necessity for the inclusion and exclusion of moves, and the sequence of appearance of these moves in the professional context of the community of practice (Lave and Wenger 1991, Wenger 1998) of which the teachers are members. Another focus in this part of the thesis is interdiscursivity (Candlin and Maley 1997). This discusses how the author's knowledge of genres and discourses contributes to the production of the request e-mail discourse. The use of deductive and inductive rhetorical approaches to topic introduction is also explored in relation to the order of discourse (Fairclough 1992, Foucault 1974) of the community of practice and the institution to which the community of practice belongs as a whole. Seeing the discourse as social practice, the study discusses the personal identities (Tracy 2002, Simon 2004) constructed by the e-mail authors through their request e-mail discourse by means of analysing lexico-grammatical resources such as process types and modality, influence strategies (Yukl 2006), rapport management (Spencer-Oatey 2000, 2005), relational work (Locher and Watts 2005, Watts 2003), and politeness (Brown and Levinson 1987, Gu 1990, Scollon and Scollon 2001). It is observed that the personal identities constructed through the request e-mail discourse, the lexico-grammatical features of the clauses, the rhetorical move structures of the request e-mails, the rhetorical approaches to topic introduction, and the use of intertextuality and interdiscursivity differ among authors and/or recipients of different status (leader/peer/subordinate) and different cultural background (Chinese members and non-Chinese members). The study offers explanations regarding the effect of status on the request e-mail discourse construction. The cultural background of the authors and/or recipients, however, will be argued to have only affected the authors' choice of Participant terms in the clauses and the construction of identities by the NCM subordinates but not the other aspects of the request e-mail discourse.

As is so often the case, great innovations remain behind closed doors because one does not even get the idea of questioning how many everyday objects are produced. Or have you ever broken your head about how a hair clipper is made?
LACH DIAMANT has faced exactly this topic and again proved the unlimited possibilities of the "contour-profiled"; technology for profile grinding of metal bonded diamond and CBN grinding wheels. Even profile depths of 13. 5 mm with a web width of 0. 5 mm are produced by the Hanau pioneers without any problems and thus make it possible to simplify the production of a hair clipper.
Until now, hair trimmers had to be ground with conventional grinding wheels. The manufacturing process was highly complex as the conventional disc had to be dressed after each stroke to maintain the profile of a hair cutting blade.

From my childhood years I was awed by the paintings of the Dutch master Hyeronimus Bosch. who created his masterpiece "The Garden of Earthly Delights", in the late 1400s. Imagine, he produced that inspirational piece of all surrealist painters before Columbus travelled to America!!!!! For many years, IN THE SEVENTIES I had a reproduction of the triptych in my office that I had acquired at the Prado Museum of Madrid. I worked facing it 8 to 10 hours a day. This magnificent work was and is a point of fascination for Psychoanlysts and people interested in the unconscious.

Mónica de Oriol e Icaza (Madrid, 25 de maig de 1961) és una empresària espanyola, presidenta del Círculo de Empresarios durant el període 2012-2015. És filla de l'arquitecte Miguel de Oriol e Ybarra, neta de José María de Oriol y Urquijo i besneta de José Luis de Oriol y Urigüen, marquès de Casa Oriol. És casada amb Alejandro Aznar Sainz, propietari de la bodega Marqués de Riscal. És llicenciada en ciències econòmiques per la Universitat Complutense de Madrid el 1984 i diplomada en Economia de la Unió Europea per la London School of Economics. Ha estat professora de Política Econòmica a la Universitat Complutense de Madrid i al campus de Madrid de Saint Louis University.

Càrrecs
Presideix l'empresa de seguretat Seguriber des de 1989. Ha format part del consell d'administració d'Indra i ha estat presidenta del Seniors Españoles para la Cooperación Técnica (SECOT). El 2008 va rebre el Premi Emprenedor de l'any d'ASEME i Comunitat de Madrid, i el març de 2012 fou nomenada presidenta del Círculo de Empresarios.

Gestió polèmica
La seva gestió ha estat marcada en tot moment per la polèmica. La seva empresa Seguriber havia estat la responsable de la seguretat del pavelló Madrid Arena quan van morir cinc joves la nit de l'1 de novembre de 2012 a causa de l'excés d'aforament entre altres motius. Alhora, gràcies als seus contactes amb el Ministeri de l'Interior d'Espanya, ha mantingut contractes de protecció privada a polítics del País Basc tot i que ETA ja havia renunciat als segrests i a la via armada. Finalment, però, fou exclosa dels contractes d'empreses de seguretat privades per a vigilància exterior de les presons.

Durant 2014 va fer diverses afirmacions que provocaren rebuig i posteriors disculpes:
 Demana rebaixar el Salari mínim interprofessional a les persones sense formació laboral (abril de 2014). Dos dies després va demanar disculpes.
 Va titllar els sindicats de casta i afirmà que CCOO, UGT i CEOE "són l'herència dels sindicats verticals del franquisme (juny de 2014).
 Va manifestar que preferia contractar "a una dona de més de 45 o de menys de 25 anys" per evitar "el problema" que es quedi embarassada (octubre de 2014). Poc després va matisar aquestes declaracions a la Cadena SER degut a les fortíssimes crítiques.

Finalment el març de 2015 fou substituïda en la direcció del Círculo de Empresarios per Javier Vega de Seoane Azpilicueta. En gener de 2018 va vendre Seguriber a INV Seguridad.

China's unofficial reaction to the Canadian arrest, at the request of the United States, of Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou was, in a word, brutal. Outraged by what it characterized as the interference by U.S. and Canadian officials in Chinese international business, Beijing snatched Robert Lloyd Schellenberg — a Canadian previously convicted of drug smuggling by a Chinese court and sentenced to 15 years in prison — from his cell and retried him on grounds that the sentence was too lenient. In a single-day trial last Monday, he was sentenced to death.
Ms. Meng, whose father is CEO of Huawei, the enormous Chinese telecommunication and consumer electronics company, has along with the company itself been accused by U.S. authorities of violating international sanctions on Iran. The company, along with the Chinese government, denied the allegations.
Several other Canadians were detained by the Chinese government in the weeks following Ms. Meng's arrest on December 1st, although most were subsequently let go. At least two of them, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, are being held indefinitely in the Chinese government's extrajudicial detention system and have been accused of violating the country's national security.
According to Canada's Ambassador to China John McCallum, there is no concrete trial date or plans for subsequent legal action against the two, who he visited in early January. In detention, said McCallum, the two are subject to hours of interrogation every day. "It's not a fixed number, but on the order of four hours a day," said McCallum. "This could go on for up to six months under the Chinese system. It's what they call an extra-judicial system so those are the conditions under which they are detained." What's more, he said, the two have no access to a lawyer and are granted consular access just once a month.
When asked whether, in light of these arrests and the Schellenberg retrial, it was time for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to intervene directly with Chinese President Xi Jinping, McCallum deferred, saying that the "time will come when it's most appropriate." In the meantime, the government has issued a travel advisory warning Canadians not to visit China for fear of arbitrary arrest.
Indeed, despite its outspoken defense of its action and condemnation, in the same breath, of the Canadian government's arrest of Ms. Meng, Beijing has made little effort to hide the plainly reactionary nature of the arrests and of the death sentence issued by a court last week. In a January op-ed, China's Ambassador to Canada Lu Shaye went so far as to call the arrests of Kovrig and Spavor acts of "self-defense" by the Chinese government.
In a brief statement given to a group of reporters, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that his government was "deeply concerned" by what he called the decision by the Chinese government to begin "arbitrarily" applying the death penalty. Trudeau also argued that the Chinese government was mixing its commercial interests with "political positioning and consequences," as indeed Ambassador Lu warned that the Chinese government would take retribution if Canada barred Huawei's telecommunication network from the country's new 5G network.
The Trump administration has offered an uncharacteristically soft-spoken defense of the Canadian government, being as it is that Meng was apprehended at the request of the United States and is awaiting extradition. A statement released by the U.S. State Department echoed the line taken by Trudeau on the issue, expressing "concerns about the arbitrary detentions and politically motivated sentencing of Canadian nationals." The issue, however, comes at a particularly tense moment in U.S.-China relations, as the dueling administrations are facing off in January trade talks in an effort to ease the punitive tariffs they've raised against each other. As such, the extradition of Ms. Meng and the fate of the Canadian prisoners in China may very well rest on the progress made by trade negotiators this month.


From "Rest unto Your Souls," Liahona and Ensign, Nov. 2010, 101–2.
In downtown Gothenburg, Sweden, there is a broad boulevard with beautiful trees on each side. One day I saw a hole in the trunk of one of the huge trees, so I curiously looked inside and saw that the tree was completely hollow.
I was surprised that the tree could still stand. So I looked up and saw a wide steel belt mounted around the upper part of the trunk. Attached to the belt were several steel wires, and they in turn were fastened and anchored to nearby buildings. From a distance it looked like the other trees; it was only when looking inside that one could detect that it was hollow instead of having a solid, strong trunk. In time, the tree could not be saved and had to be taken down.
Just as a young tree grows bit by bit into a sturdy tree, so we can grow step by step in our capacity to be solid and filled from the inside out, in contrast to the hollow tree. It is through the healing Atonement of Jesus Christ that we may have the strength to stand tall and strong and to have our souls be filled—with light, understanding, joy, and love.
Faith in Jesus Christ and following His teachings give us a firm hope, and this hope becomes a solid anchor to our souls. We can become steadfast and immovable. We can have lasting inner peace; we can enter into the rest of the Lord. Only if we turn away from light and truth will a hollow feeling of emptiness, like the tree's, occupy the innermost chambers of our souls.
Let us focus on those things that will sustain a lasting peace of mind and heart. Then our confidence will "wax strong in the presence of God" (D&C 121:45). The promise to enter into the rest of the Lord, to receive the gift of peace, is far from a temporary, worldly satisfaction. It is indeed a heavenly gift: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27). He has the power to heal and strengthen the soul. He is Jesus Christ.
"The Savior [spoke] to His disciples as He faced His Crucifixion and as they faced fear, disarray, and persecution. In His last collective counsel to them in mortality, He said: 'These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world' (John 16:33).
"So, in a world of tribulation, let's remember our faith. … And let's live life more fully, with more boldness and courage than at any other time.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, "This, the Greatest of All Dispensations," Liahona, July 2007, 20; Ensign, July 2007, 54.
How can we find peace and hope in troubled times?
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles helps answer this question in "This, the Greatest of All Dispensations" (Liahona, July 2007, 18; Ensign, July 2007, 53).
Consider searching the scriptures for verses on hope, peace, and faith in Jesus Christ.
For more information on this topic, see Mosiah 24:15; D&C 6:34, 36; 59:23; 78:17–18; Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Peace Within," Ensign, May 1991, 36; and Neal A. Maxwell, "Encircled in the Arms of His Love," Liahona and Ensign, Nov. 2002, 16.
"Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel" (Matthew 15:30–31).

Josie Robertson Plaza at Lincoln Center is nearly deserted Thursday, March 12, 2020, in New York, after nearly all of Lincoln Center's performance spaces shuttered their doors following a statewide ban on gatherings of more than 500 people. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo imposed the temporary ban amid a rise in coronavirus cases. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
NEW YORK (AP) — Lincoln Center artistic director Jane Moss is departing on Aug. 1 after 27 years, leaving the performing arts center without a key leader while it remains shut due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Lincoln Center's constituent parts have been shut down since mid-March, including the Metropolitan Opera, New York Philharmonic, New York City Ballet, Lincoln Center Theater and Jazz at Lincoln Center. The pandemic has caused tens of millions of dollars in operating losses.
The 67-year-old Moss oversees Lincoln Center's Great Performers series, Mostly Mozart Festival, White Light Festival, American Songbook, Midsummer Night Swing and Lincoln Center Out of Doors. All programming has been canceled through August, and the fall season is in danger.
"I had begun to consider moving into a new chapter of my life prior to the pandemic. But the multi-year/multi-track cycle of programming never allowed time for a responsible departure and smooth transition," Moss said in a statement Friday.
"Now that our current situation has put a pause on live programming, I feel I can step down. I am eager to make a new kind of contribution to the life and well-being of New York as we face very challenging times ahead."

CARY, N.C. (March 3, 2005) — MTS Sensors Division has launched the Model USTD II liquid-level sensor for leak detection and inventory monitoring of underground storage tanks. Expanding the company's extensive line of magnetostrictive sensors, the robust Model USTD II is the pioneering Underground Storage Tank (UST) gauge for fuel and solvent applications, such as gas station fuel storage.
Unlike radar sensing technology, which only senses level in a vessel, the USTD II, as well as MTS Sensors' MG Digital sensor, can sense inventory level, interface level and temperature measurement – all accomplished with only one opening in the top of the vessel. This allows for convenient upgrades to existing tanks using older mechanical, capacitance or radar technologies. Other sensor technologies require two or sometimes three openings to measure interface level and temperature.
The USTD II utilizes MTS Sensors' Temposonics® magnetostrictive technology to provide continuous absolute level gauging, offering temperature, product and water level output information from a single probe. Dual floats are used to measure product level and water. In addition, the gauge determines the average temperature and individual multi-point temperatures with five integrated temperature transmitters accurate to 0.5 degrees F (0.25 degrees C). An RS-485 interface is used for remote data transfer to the tank management system.
The USTD II is available for both flange and fill tube mounting. As well as being intrinsically safe, it has safety approvals for Zones 0 and 1 – ATEX EEx ia IIB T4 and FM IS Class I, Division 1. It is available in lengths of 29 in. to 149 in. (740 mm to 3800 mm) and will operate in process temperatures from -40 to 160 degrees F (-40 to 71 degrees C). Free set-up and monitoring software is available with purchase.
For more information on the MTS Sensors Group and level sensing, please contact: Adrian Totten, MTS Sensors Division, 3001 Sheldon Drive, Cary, NC 27513. Phone: (919) 677-2332 or visit www.mtslevelsensors.com.
MTS Sensors is the world leader in magnetostrictive technology. MTS Sensors is a global operation, with facilities in the U.S., Germany and Japan. In the U.S., the MTS Sensors Division has an ISO 9001/2000 facility manufacturing rugged and reliable magnetostrictive position sensors, level sensors, and mobile equipment sensors utilizing patented Temposonics® technology. With a strong commitment to research and development, product quality and customer service, the Sensors Division is constantly seeking ways to bring the highest value to customers.

Very pretty chestnut Arabian mare. Pure bred by Bey Sadik. Left to mature and is a total blank canvas for someone to put their own stamp on.
Nice natured, easy to catch, load and generally easy to have around. Good with all traffic and turns out with mares or geldings. Can live in or out and never sick or sorry.
Ivana NVW. Exceptionally bred 4 year old PRE mare. Currently standing 15.1hh. Winner of the Gold Medal for movement in her section at the national breed show in 2016 with the judge commenting her canter was worth "more than a 10".
Very sweet temperament. Good to catch, clip, box, load, travel, with farrier etc. Used to variety of farm machinery and animals. Lives in or out currently in a mixed herd but equally happy on her own. Up to date with worming, vaccinations, teeth, feet and been checked by physio. Lightly backed this summer. Walk, trot, canter in the school, been over poles, popped a small jump and hacked out in company. (Videos available). Now been turned away and not currently in work. Great project to get out competing next year she is sure to make a fantastic ridden horse or would be a valuable asset to any breeding programme.
Can provide full pedigree details not enough characters here. Please text/email to arrange phone call as have some problems with me phone.


Basic remote control of the lights through the web.
Logs of your activity - acccess to statistics and timestamps of when you left, went to sleep, got home from the hackerspace, etc.
Quick reassignment of switches to light bulbs.
Macros, for example "flip any switch three times to switch all lights off when leaving."
Learn what all the wires are for in those messy junction boxes and be able to say "I installed part of that!"
At home I did it using an Arduino library and toolkit that three of my friends and I developed at the Madrid Makespace. We called the project Sensorino. We had some major delays in the project while Arduino was slowly losing its advantages to other boards, but now it's ready for an instructable. I'll document only my particular setup here, more general instructions with all the possible choices are on our github wiki.
It does require some playing around to connect all the things right, some Linux command line fu to install and configure packages (although we keep it as easy as possible), and some soldering. The soldering is basic because I'm not great at it myself. It's by all means a maker oriented project.
If you get into any trouble look for a solution on the project's wiki or ask on the project's mailing list.
It's basically just a selection of the cheapest components from aliexpress.com or Ebay and some software but with Sensorino it's easier to do than if you wanted to start from scratch. It's really cheap, see the parts list below.
The server runs on a tiny Linux router, no need for a computer running 24 hours a day.
Extensible - you can integrate more sensors later, such as battery powered plant moisture meters, and even some consumer "smart" appliances, for example Bluetooth Low-Energy ones.
I have it running here for a while and it works. I live together with a rather demanding bunch and they haven't complained yet!
Note that there are some risks when messing with mains voltages and with the power that goes into the things you depend on, such as your fridge, heaters, ovens. SAFETY DISCLAIMERS GO HERE. Don't hurt yourself, others or your important stuff.
I don't have any instructions on making it pretty, I like raw electronics sticking out of places at home (especially with LEDs) and I'm not good at making enclosures for things but I'm sure you can laser-cut a great looking wooden or acrylic case for the elements that didn't fit inside junction boxes.
Some mains cable (this must be 18 AWG or so), not a lot because mostly we'll be removing or replacing those thick cables, not adding more. Perhaps get a 25 metre roll from a DIY store.
A lot of thin signal cable, I used a 50m roll of two-wire telephone cable (0.5mm²) but even thinner would work.
$1.50 Arduino Pro Mini clones from aliexpress.com. One for the server (base node) and one for each remote node. I only use one remote node here, but it'll depend on how big your home is. More about this in the next step. Regardless perhaps just get a box of 10 or 20 boards from aliexpress, they are really cheap and will turn out useful for many other projects. Search for "pro mini 5v" (16MHz) on that site (example seller).
One or two USB-to-Serial adapters for Arduino from aliexpress.com, this is also in the $2 range (example seller).
nRF24L01+ radio modules from aliexpress.com. One for the server (base node) and one for each remote node. Again just get a box of 10, they're in the $0.80 / piece range (example seller).
Relays to control the lights. I only use on/off switching at this time, no dimming, so the cheap mechanical relays from aliexpress.com will do (example seller). They make click sounds, so you may want a solid-state relay instead. There's also a good selection of them on aliexpress. You can also find them recycled on taobao and elsewhere, at prices sometimes lower than mechanical.
A good number of $1 mini USB chargers from aliexpress, we'll use them as 5V DC power supplies for our remote nodes and for the server (example seller).
A TP-Link TL-WR703n wifi router to be our server. This is a tiny 5cm x 5cm box running Linux and starting at $18. Also get a small unpowered USB hub for it (example) since it only has one host port and a small USB memory of any modern size to extend the router's memory.
Note that since the aliexpress.com links go out of date quickly you may need to use the search box to find a replacement. The replacement will probably be better and cheaper since these things advance fast.
Before we start we need to decide on a few things, like how many remote nodes we're going to need (i.e. remote arduino boards, the nerve cells of the network) and where they'll be. Here are some things to take into account.
You'll first need to understand a little about the existing installation at your home. If you have a schematic of the installation that could be very useful, but you can also just take note of where junction boxes are in the walls, try to figure out which ones connect to which other boxes by looking inside (tricky...) and then assume that each switch connects to a corresponding light through one such box, perhaps the one that's nearest. It gets a little more complicated with "multiway switching" setups used in corridors, stair wells, etc. What we care about here is how long each cable is.
Most Arduinos have about 10-15 usable inputs/outputs so we can't connect more than this. In my case the exact limit is 12 free digital pins. My first node uses 11 of them to take input from 7 switches and control 4 lights in 4 different rooms.
Perhaps, for starters, don't try to convert all of the lighting at home. Use just one node in a central place. Later, when this works, you can come back and add further nodes.
Now we'll need to electrically assemble the remote node, i.e. make connections between the 5V power adapter (from a USB charger), the Arduino-compatible brains of the node and the nRF24L01+ radio module so that these elements can talk to each other. We'll also want something to mechanically mount all those elements to. We'll also mount the 220V / 110V relays and connect them to the Arduino board, to be able to control lights.
You'll find similar instructions in Sensorino github wiki page for generic node setup and this one for connecting lights and switches.
My first node has 7 elements each of which is a small PCB so I laser-cut an acrylic base board to server as the mechanical support for it, there are probably much better ways to do that.
The power supply is a small PCB, it's just a standard USB charger taken out of its case. You can remove the bolts that normally plug into a wall socket and just solder two short cables that will feed the board mains voltage. On the other end of the board you've got a USB female connector. You can rip out the connector and just use the two wires that fed 5V to it. You can use multimeter to find which was ground and which was 5V or infer that from which of them connected to the USB connector's ground pin.
These two pins are just what the Arduino and our other peripherals need to come alive. Have a look at the Pro Mini pinout diagram and connect the ground wire to the Arduino's GND pin and the 5V to the Arduino's VCC pin. I used male pin headers on the Arduino and female headers on the cables from the power supply.
Arduino VCC connects through three standard N4007 diodes in series to the module's VCC pin. Together the diodes lower the input voltage by about 2V, just right to power the radio module. In my case the connector has a thin, short wire connecting each pin header to the radio module pin. The VCC cable is a little shorter and connects to the first diode's anode, who's cathode in turn is soldered directly to the second diode, that one to the third diode and this one is soldered directly to the module's VCC.
Remaining unsued pins on the male connector are left unconnected.
On the other edge of the Arduino PCB I have another female header row to be used for inputs and outputs, such as light switches and relays. I have two more header rows of the same length glued to the first one side by side. All the pins in the second row are connected together and to the VCC pin of the Arduino board. The third row is also common and connects to the Arduino's GND. This way each peripheral, sensor, actuator, etc. can use a three pin male header as a connector plugging sideways, giving it both power and a digital pin signal to the Arduino board.
Now each relay on the board uses such a three-pin connector. The relay PCB has the following pin names: GND, VCC, IN, COM, GND. The connector uses GND, VCC and IN.
I don't have great manual or soldering skill so my finished board doesn't look very pretty but I'm sure it can be done in an elegant way. For practical matters I tend to secure all of the uncovered metallic parts of pins or cables sticking out with hot glue. This gives it an additional level of ugliness but when gives both minimal electrical protection and mechanical stregth to all of the connectors and if you need to plug and unplug them a few times during development they won't break as easily, and you can even transport them in a backpack or a pocket.
There'll be only one base node, to allow the server (a Linux machine) to communicate with the remote nodes using the same radio modules as they do. The Base is just an Arduino board, a radio module and a Serial-to-USB adapter in my case. The connections between the Arduino and the radio module are the same as in case of remote nodes (previous step). Then I have male pin headers on the power + serial port side of the Pro Mini PCB which plug directly into the female jumper cables that ship with the Serial-to-USB adapters from aliexpress.
Note that the adapter's TXD pin will connect to the Arduino's RXD and the Arduino's TXD to the adapter's RXD. The GND and VCC (5V) pins connect normally. You can also connect the DTS pin if available on the adapter you got.
My server (see next step) and the base node sit inside a wardrobe so I don't feel guilty having no case for them, it's just a bunch of PCBs connected with cables.
Now is a good time to program the Arduino boards in your remote nodes with a basic Sensorino sketch that will drive the lights and switches and do the communications part. It's good to do that before mounting the whole thing in an inaccessible place.
I won't go into full details here as I don't want this to be a software instructable and instead refer to the instructions on this github wiki page.
But it's quite simple. If you have the Arduino IDE installed, just add the Sensorino library to your libraries. Then open the example Sensorino sketch and adjust the number of relay and switch Services (Sensorino term) that are created, by adding and removing lines from the example. Also give the digital pin numbers to use, the Service IDs and the node's ID (numbers of your choice -- just need to be unique). Then upload it to the node using a USB-to-Serial adapter as you'd do with any Arduino.
Unfortunately this requres you to already know which pins you're going to use for the switches and the relays connections. You don't need to know which relay is which, and which switch is which but still need to know which pins you're going to use. Specific assignment is going to be done by sending a radio command later.
There's another way to do it too. This wiki page talks about installing a special bootloader on the Arduino board which will allow uploading a whole new Arduino sketch remotely. It is a little more involved but works well, specially for nodes that are difficult to access. I'm personally relying on this a lot.
We'll also take a moment now to program the Base node -- it's the same story as programming the remote nodes just no customisation to make. You can just take the example sketch and upload as is to your Sensorino base.
Now comes the interesting part where we mess with the electrical installation of the house. Make sure it is unpowered with the general switch / circuit breaker switched off. Check that lights effectively don't work, but remember that the rest of the cables in the junction boxes are still powered, unless you use the master circuit breaker instead of one specific for lighting.
The diagram shows what the switch+lightbulb circuit in the normal (our old) installation looks like and what it'll be like afterwards. There will effectively be two separate circuits, one for the light fixture and one for the switch, so we'll treat them separately.
You'll want a terminal block strip of some kind to make the wiring easier.
First we need to connect the Sensorino node's power supply to the mains. Find a pair of mains cables that power the house's lighting (i.e. goes through the light-specific circuit breaker) and connect them to a pair of terminals in your terminal block. Connect the thin little cables from your node's power supply (USB charger PCB) to these terminals.
From the power terminal to the light-bulb - this cable will stay as is.
From the light bulb to the switch. Now this cable might have been quite long and passed through one or more junction boxes. If our node is mounted at one of them, we can cut the cable there and plug it into the relay's terminal. Otherwise you may need to find a new route for that cable to reach your node and it may end up being shorter or longer than previously. If it ends up longer you can use a screw terminal to extend it with another piece of cable.
The third cable was from the other terminal of the light switch back to the power source. Now that cable can be removed completely. You just need a very short piece to connect the other terminal of your relay in your node back to the other terminal of the mains source in the junction box.
For each switch we'll now need a single two-wire thin cable to the node, such as the telephone cable I listed in the parts list. You'll need to route it through the conduits yourself. You can use a cable puller device for that or, if you're pulling out an old thick cable that is no longer needed, you can tie its end to the end of your new cable and use that. Depending on how crowded your conduits are both methods may prove difficult but ultimately there's no way around it.
Strip 2-3 centimetres off of the cable's insulation to expose the two wires and then strip maybe 5mm of each wire's individual insulation. Plug the two wires into the two connectors of your wall switch (you may need a piece of a thicker cable too if the connectors don't produce any friction on wires that thin). On the other end, before connecting them to the Arduino try to secure them mechanically to the node's base or something else so that they're not only held there with the Arduino's electrical connection.
Again strip a little of the cable's insulation and then some 5mm of each wire's insulation. If they are 0.5mm² telephone wires they should fit right into the female connectors on your Arduino board's side. Plug either one of the cables into the GND connector and the other to the digital input.
In a normal installation multiway switching (wikipedia) needs a special type of circuit with the switches are in a sort of series connection with each other and the light fixture. With Sensorino we effectively don't care and just connect the lights separately and each switch separately. The Arduino sketch will do the multiway switching.
I'm using a small Linux router, the TP-Link TL-WR703n popular with many electronics projects for its size, price and capabilities. You may want to first try running the server on a laptop PC, and old netbook or something else that is well supported and the software setup is effectively trivial. Note that you'll need a Linux flavour of some kind, other operating systems are not supported at this time. Below I'll describe the setup for the TL-WR703n router for completeness.
Here's the Sensorino github wiki page on this topic, I'll only give an outline here as most of this is messing with software.
As for the hardware setup there isn't much to do. We need to plug two USB devices to the router's USB port so we'll use a USB hub because there's only one host port. Plug the hub in and the plug a USB memory of any kind (small pendrive) into one of its ports and the USB-to-Serial adapter of the base node that we assembled earlier, into another port. To avoid radio interference with the router's wifi adapter I recommend using a USB extension cable to put the base a metre or so away. Otherwise I'd have squeezed the whole base inside the router's enclosure which would make the whole thing much cleaner.
We'll need to power the router through its micro-USB port. You can use a USB charger like the ones we disassembled earlier or some other 5V source. Just plug it into a power socket, then plug a USB-to-micro-USB cable into it.
Finally you may want to have this router integrated into your home wifi or wired network. The router has wifi capability and you can make it connect to your home network but you can also connect it with an ethernet cable and use it as a wireless access point in addition to being your home automation hub. For some of the setup instructions below you will need an ethernet connection either way.
Now comes the difficult part: setting up the software on the router which is more involved than doing the same on a real PC because of the type of the minimalistic low-footprint Linux distribution it uses. The router is also much slower, of course. If your WR703n is completely new it ships with TP-Link's specific Linux system in Chinese and on the first use you have to work your way through that Chinese user interface to an option that lets you update/change the Operating System. We want to install the free and opensource OpenWRT linux on it. See full instructions here on Sensorino wiki.
To continue with the remaining steps you'll need an ssh connection to the router, which requires you to connect through an ethernet cable the first time as the wifi connection will be disabled after OpenWRT installlation. See instructions here. Also note the package installation further down requires the router to have an internet connection -- this will again depend on whether you want to use the router's wifi adapter to establish a connection or use it as an access point in which case you'll need an ethernet cable to let the router get online.
Next we need to install OpenWRT extroot to escape the 4MB flash memory limitation of this device. See official docs here or one of the many tutorials.
If everything went well you'll now have the server running and at least one node that it can talk to. It should be enough to flip any of your wall switches for the remote node to send the server a message, which should in turn trigger the server to start a discovery process and find the current states of all your switches and relays.
When you load http://routers_addr:8000/ the Sensorino web interface will open and if the server has detected any new nodes there'll be message saying that you can now go into the floorplan editor and lay out your sensor and actuator widgets visually. You can rotate/resize them, draw some walls to make the floorplan less empty, etc. The interface should be rather intuitive.
If that didn't happen, which is entirely possible because Sensorino hasn't received a great deal of testing yet, you'll want to start troubleshooting with checking if communication works at all. In the web interface go the Console tab to see if you're receiving anything when you actuate your switches. You can also check if messages are transmitted okay in the opposite direction by typing something in, such as a command to turn a relay on, and seeing whether that had the expected effect. The following message will tell node under address 10 to switch its relay 5 on (service ID 5), adjust according to your remote node's sketch.
that will mean that no Acknowledge packet has been received, which could happen if the transmission failed but also when transmission was successful and only the return packets aren't reaching us. It could also mean the "to" address was wrong. Note that transmission and reception can be affected differently by interference and one may have a high packet loss rate even if the other works. Another factor that affects radio transmission a lot is the voltage supplied to the radio module -- below about 3.0V packet drop rate increases quickly. It's good to test the radio communication before mounting the remote nodes in inaccessible places, if possible.
If nothing works, seek help from the sensorino@googlegroups.com mailing list where all things Sensorino can be discussed.
If on the other hand things seem to work you can proceed to configure the switch assignment to you relays so that switches work as they did previously (if that's what you want). The server's web interface for the rule engine isn't finished yet so instead use the Console tab again to send remote nodes a command that will create the rule you need.
This is the suggested pattern. Following is a command to the node's Rule Engine service (service ID 1) to create a new rule at position 0. The condition that triggers this rule is given by the expression: new switch 6 value does not equal previous switch 6 value, in other words when Switch 6 (service ID 6) has been flipped. The action that will be taken is to send service 5 the command to toggle it. Effectively this whole rule means: toggle the light when I toggle the switch.
If all of this is too confusing you can refer to the message examples wiki page or to the full message format specification page. Or just shoot an email to the sensorino@googlegroups.com mailing list.
I have been planning and researching to do some home automation myself and actually bought essentially the same materials as you used. Since I'm still waiting for the parts, I'm gonna try your library as all comes in.
Good! It seems a number of people have chosen this same set of peripherals for the same task.
I must say in hindsite I should have never used that nRF24 chip -- until you have a working library that gets the timings just right it will always give you tiny issues here and there, small percentages of lost packets and other things that start to matter when you build something for real use. It's possible to get right but depends on little undocumented requirements like milcrosecond delays in places, ordering.. Figuring this out wasn't worth the cents saved compared to other modules (or maybe they all have issues? RF *is* hard).
Yes rf is indeed hard and precise and will probably always have some downfalls when you try to go cheap instead of buying for example 50 dollar zigbee modules. The cheap 315 and 433 my module didn't miss packets because it uses the interupt but there you have one way communication and I had problems with modules from separate sellers that didn't work.
I believed that there were some good libraries for this module, also for networking but I'll have to find out for myself. Since it has two way communication a simple receive confirmation system should not be to hard to implement I guess.


Scammers have become extremely crafty these days, making it difficult to determine whether a job offer is fake or a legitimate one. The main motive behind these scams is to extract hard-earned money from the candidates and disappear.
If one is applying for a job in a reputed company, he/she must always remember that they do not ask for money. There are some people who receive offer letters stating that they have been selected for a particular job, for which they will have to pay a certain amount of money. These are fake job offers and one should never accept them.
The interview should be formal. Rather than giving a telephonic interview, always believe in a face to face interaction. Scammers also conduct unethical interviews, which can be risky.
If the job details are not mentioned in the job posting, try finding out whether the candidates will be paid a commission or if there is a salary. The candidates must clarify all details regarding the pay scale; how they will be paid and when. If the company doesn't assure them an hourly rate or salary, then they should drop the idea of the job.
If a job posting sounds too good to be legitimate, the candidate must verify it. Moreover, no good company asks for confidential information. If one receives a mail after applying for the job asking for the bank credentials, he/she should be sure that it is a scam. Before providing any information, one must make sure that the company is secure by looking at its website, it must be listed by 'https//'.

Cyclone Lili causes floods, strong winds in Maluku
Ivany Atina Arbi
The National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) said on Thursday that a tropical cyclone emerging from the Banda Sea in Maluku, called Lili, had just hit several villages hard in the form of severe rain and strong wind.
Water as deep as 1.5 meters on average had reportedly inundated three villages in three separate districts in the province: Laitutun village in Letti Island district, Tounwawan in Moa Lakor and Luang Timur in Mdona Hiera.
No casualties were reported in the disaster, but scores of houses and a number of public facilities were damaged.
"The tropical cyclone had hit the region since Monday,and came into its peak on Wednesday night at 9 p.m. local time. High waves discouraged fishermen from sailing," BNPB spokesperson Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said in a statement.
As of Thursday afternoon, the floods receded by up to 50 cm, he added.
The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) had previously urged residents of the eastern part of the country -- particularly in areas surrounding the Banda Sea -- to stay alert and prepare for potential severe rain as it detected the early signs of a tropical cyclone in the waters on Tuesday.
"The 'baby' cyclone has grown bigger and stronger in the past 12 hours, so please prepare for the real tropical cyclone to come," said BMKG meteorology deputy head Mulyono R. Prabowo in a press statement. The strong wind was blowing toward the south approaching East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and Timor Leste.
Among the various effects of the cyclone would be severe rain in NTT, Maluku and Timor Leste, strong wind in NTT, Maluku and some parts of Sulawesi and high tides in the waters of the Banda Sea and Arafuru Sea.
Water transportation in the affected area was expected to be disrupted by the hurricane, so citizens are being told to be cautious. "Severe rain potentially leads to flash floods and landslides," Mulyono added.
