"My All" é uma canção gravada pela artista musical estadunidense Mariah Carey para seu sexto álbum de estúdio, Butterfly (1997). Foi lançado como o quinto single do álbum e o segundo comercial em 21 de abril de 1998 pela editora discográfica Columbia Records. A música foi escrita e produzida por Carey e Walter Afanasieff. "My All" é construído em torno de melodias de acordes de guitarra latina e faz uso sutil de percussão durante o primeiro refrão, antes de assumir um R&B contemporâneo com uma batida de estilo mais convencional. Carey foi inspirada a escrever a música e usar melodias de inspiração latina após sua viagem a Porto Rico, onde foi influenciada pela cultura do território. A letra da música fala de uma mulher solitária declarando que daria "tudo de si" para ter apenas mais uma noite com seu amado distante.

O videoclipe da música foi lançado em março de 1998. Mostra muitas cenas de Carey deitada em uma embarcação submersa em um grande corpo de água, enquanto lamentava seu amante perdido. Em direção ao clímax do vídeo, Carey e seu interesse amoroso sobem em um farol e se acariciam sob o céu noturno. "My All" foi apresentado ao vivo em várias ocasiões, incluindo o World Music Awards de 1998 e o Blockbuster Entertainment Awards, Saturday Night Live, The Rosie O'Donnell Show e vários programas europeus de televisão e música. A música também fez parte da turnê mundial de Carey, Butterfly World Tour, em 1998, e foi apresentada em muitas turnês e shows futuros. David Morales produtor de house music, remixou a música, que foi tocada ao vivo como um medley com o original.

"My All" foi bem recebido pelos críticos de música contemporânea e teve forte atuação em vários mercados da música. Nos Estados Unidos, a música se tornou a décima terceira posição número um de Carey no ranking da Billboard Hot 100, e foi certificada como platina pela Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Em toda a Europa, a música tocou moderadamente, chegando ao número quatro no Reino Unido e entre os dez primeiros na Bélgica (Valônia), França, Espanha e Suíça. Na França, devido às fortes vendas, a música foi certificada em prata pela Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP).

Antecedentes
Carey começou a compôr para Butterfly no final de 1996. Ela considerou esse período como "um momento de redefinição para si mesma", no qual começou a desenvolver o tipo de música que realmente amava: R&B contemporâneo e hip-hop. Adicionalmente, a artista começou a incorporar outros gêneros em sua composição, com o objetivo de auxiliá-la a desenvolver novas ideias e melodias. Ela afirmou que os sentimentos mistos sentidos por si naquele momento de sua vida foram importantes durante o processo de criação de "My All", já que podia "derramar ela própria e todas as sensações em qualquer coisa que estivesse escrevendo à época". Em uma entrevista concedida a Fred Bronson, Carey explicou como sua visita a Porto Rico e seus sentimentos ajudaram-na na canção:

A estadunidense começou a infundir sua personalidade em seu trabalho. Durante seu tempo de visita ao território porto-riquenho, ela influenciou-se pela cultura latina, e começou a harmonizar e cantar as músicas ouvidas lá. Quando retornou para Nova Iorque, a melodia já tinha sido completada e Carey começou a trabalhar na faixa com Walter Afanasieff em São Francisco.

Gravação
Carey e Afanasieff trabalharam juntos desde o álbum de estreia da cantora (1990). Juntos, eles escreveram os maiores sucessos da artista naquela época, como "Hero" e "One Sweet Day". "My All" tornar-se-ia a última colaboração entre os dois; o compositor não apareceu nos créditos de nenhum dos discos seguintes da cantora. Durante o processo de composição, Carey estava no meio de seu divórcio com Tommy Mottola. Afanasieff, que desenvolveu relações com ambos, estava no centro da crise. Desta forma, ele teve dificuldades ao gravar a faixa com a musicista, uma vez que o relacionamento deles já estava tenso durante o divórcio. O compositor estava empregado por Mottola e pela Columbia Records, e trabalhou extensivamente com Mariah no estúdio. Ele explicou o ocorrido para Fred Bronson: "Eu precisava manter uma relação muito forte com Tommy. Durante esse período, o começo do fim deles, eu tinha de me afastar mais que o normal dela pois estava passando por um momento difícil. Ela sentia que o término de seu relacionamento com Tommy era também uma limpeza do que ela era. Ela sentiu que o que estava lançando eram baladas pop excessivamente sentimentais e que ele estava inflexível quanto a isso. Eu tive que sair e falar: 'Mariah, você precisa se redefinir, tudo bem. Estou aqui fazendo música e quando você quiser voltar e fazer novamente, estarei aqui'".

A obra foi escrita no estúdio residencial de Carey, localizado no norte do estado de Nova Iorque, e foi gravada no estúdio de Afanasieff em São Francisco. Depois de apresentá-lo a melodia desenvolvida em Porto Rico, ele começou a tocar os acordes no piano e ela cantou o tema, dirigindo-o. Produziram o refrão, e a estadunidense fez os versos deste, enquanto o produtor adicionou um groove de bateria na melodia básica. De acordo com Walter, foram usadas todas as influências latinas possíveis. Embora não tenha passado muito tempo com seu avô paterno venezuelano, a cantora afirmou que a música do país estava "definitivamente subconscientemente" dentro de si. Por outro lado, o compositor nasceu no Brasil e ouviu composições do país e da Rússia durante toda a sua vida. Ainda para Bronson, ele explicou os passos seguidos durante o processo de criação de "My All":

Estrutura musical e letra

Com uma duração total de três minutos e cinquenta segundos (3:50), "My All" é uma canção de movimento balada com um andamento lento, que mistura batidas de R&B contemporâneo, guitarras latinas e melodias de acorde. Além disso, apresenta o uso sutil de uma percussão latina no primeiro refrão, e foi produzida por Mariah Carey e Walter Afanasieff. Tem um "som viçoso", como descrito por Chris Nickson em seu livro Mariah Carey revisited: her story, e possui arpejos de guitarra sintéticos produzidos em estúdio. A faixa foi igualada ao estilo musical de Toni Braxton, conhecido por ser composto de "sons de R&B suaves e lentos".

A letra foi escrita por Carey e Afanasieff. De acordo com a partitura publicada pela Sony/ATV Music Publishing, está definida no tempo de assinatura comum com um metrônomo de 52 batidas por minuto. Composta na chave de sol menor com um alcance vocal que vai desde a nota baixa de si até a nota alta de fá; o piano e a guitarra vão da baixa até a alta de sol bemol. Segue a progressão harmônica básica de lá bemol e fá bemol. A composição é diferente de tudo que a artista já tinha experimentado antes, incorporando a cultura latina de maneira forte. A instrumentação e o arranjo vocal usados na música foram comparados às produções de Babyface, já que possuem "suaves múrmuros de R&B e melodias de guitarra". Sua letra representa uma mulher solitária afirmando que daria "seu tudo" apenas para ter mais uma noite com seu distante amado.

Crítica profissional
A canção conseguiu aclamação por parte dos críticos musicais após o seu lançamento. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, da base de dados Allmusic, escolheu-a como um dos três destaques de Butterfly. Larry Flick, da revista Billboard, elogiou-a, dando-lhe o adjetivo de "pedra preciosa". Flick também a descreveu como "espumante com um sabor de casa que é suavemente reminiscente da marca registrada de Toni Braxton, 'Un-Break My Heart'". Ao analisar o disco, o redator também deu sua opinião sobre o remix de David Morales, escrevendo: "Morales atravessa a barreira entre a agressão underground e a fofura do pop das rádios com facilidade enganosa, criando uma obra ancorada com uma linha de baixo forte e embelezada com vibrantes sintetizadores. São dez minutos de pura alegria disco". Escrevendo para a Entertainment Weekly, David Browne apreciou a instrumentação, notando a guitarra "gentilmente arrancada". Browne concluiu que é "a melhor faixa de Babyface não produzida por Babyface".

Presença em "Corpo Dourado Internacional"
My All integrou a trilha sonora internacional da novela "Corpo Dourado" de Antonio Calmon, exibida pela TV Globo em 1998. Na trama a canção foi tema da personagem "Chico", interpretada por Humberto Martins.

Outras versões
Foram criados dois remixes a partir de "My All"; o primeiro é uma versão intitulada "My All/Stay Awhile (So So Def Remix)", derivada principalmente do R&B contemporâneo. Carey regravou seus vocais para a nova vertente, criando-a com base em uma amostra de "Stay a Little While, Child.", da banda Loose Ends. O primeiro verso e e o refrão de "My All" são misturados com os de "Stay a Little While, Child." Foi produzida por Jermaine Dupri e apresenta rap por Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz. O single possui ainda uma versão sem a presença da dupla. O segundo é uma edição dance criada por David Morales. Conhecida como "Classic Club Mix", a vertente é a primeira colaboração entre Morales e Carey na qual a cantora não precisou gravar novamente seus vocais. Consequentemente, é bastante parecida com a original em termos de progressão harmônica, embora tenham sido adicionados vocais novos. O remix foi apresentado diversas vezes pela artista em suas turnês, a partir mistura com a criação original.

Uma edição em espanhol foi criada e nomeada "Mi Todo". Ao contrário do ocorrido com "Hero" (1993) e "Open Arms" (1995), a artista cantou a música em um tom diferente da normal, em inglês. A primeira linha da composição foi traduzida de maneira errônea e estava incorreta gramaticalmente. A cantora mencionou em seu website mais tarde que só gravaria outra canção em espanhol caso tivesse certeza que a gramática e a pronúncia estivessem corretas. Foi a última obra de Carey a ser gravada em espanhol. Foi criado um remix para essa vertente também, embora tenha sido lançado apenas como um single promocional no México.

Vídeos musicais

"My All" e  "My All/Stay Awhile (So So Def Remix)" tiveram vídeos musicais diferentes. O da versão original foi filmado em Porto Rico e dirigido pelo fotógrafo Herb Ritts. Com uma duração de quase quatro minutos, a produção inicia-se com Carey deitada em um navio capotado em uma praia, olhando para o céu e lamentando o fato de seu amado estar distante. Na cena seguinte, ele aparece no topo de um farol no meio do oceano, à procura de sua companheira. Outras sequências mostram apresentam a cantora deitada em uma grande concha, molhada e vulnerável. Pouco depois, a artista começa a andar em uma trajeto de flores brancas, até chegar ao farol onde seu parceiro se encontra. Após o segundo verso da faixa, Carey e o homem trocam carícias e abraços; depois de um momento mais íntimo, ela volta à trilha de flores, feliz e sorrindo. As cenas da estadunidense deitada no navio e na frente das flores foram inspiradas pela pintura O Nascimento de Vênus, de Sandro Botticelli. De acordo com o autor Chris Nickson, a musicista deitada no navio capotado representa sua vulnerabilidade sem seu amado, destacando o anelo enfatizado na canção.

Diane Martel dirigiu a vertente do "So So Def Remix", filmada em forma granulada com o objetivo de simular um vídeo caseiro. Possui aparições de Dupri, Tariq e Gunz. A obra começa com Carey e Dupri em uma pequena reunião social, descansando e aproveitando a companhia um do outro. Enquanto o tempo progressa, os outros dois artistas chegam à casa, em conjunto com vários outros convidados. Eles começam a dançar, enquanto saboreiam o coquetel à beira da piscina. Quando chega ao seu clímax, o vídeo possui sequências nas quais Carey canta em um quintal, enquanto o trio junta-se a ela no deck da piscina.

Apresentações ao vivo

"My All" foi apresentado em várias apresentações ao vivo na televisão, bem como na maioria das turnês de Carey após o lançamento da música. Carey cantou "My All" pela primeira vez no Saturday Night Live em 15 de novembro de 1997. A apresentação contou com um guitarrista. Mais tarde, Carey tocou a música no World Music Awards de 1998 , completando o remix original e dance como um medley. A apresentação foi transmitida via satélite na turnê de Carey na época, que foi transmitida em uma telão. No Blockbuster Entertainment Awards em 1998, Carey cantou a versão original da música, apresentando uma orquestra completa e vocais de fundo ao vivo.

Carey foi uma das cinco artistas do VH1 Divas de 1998 , onde cantou "My All", bem como o remix dance. A música foi tocada no programa de paradas musicais britânico, Top of the Pops, onde foi realizada uma mistura ao vivo das versões original e dance. "My All" foi apresentado durante a digressão Butterfly World Tour em 1998. Para as apresentações no Japão, Carey contou com um guitarrista latino e vocais de apoio. O guitarrista esteve presente durante o recital da música durante toda a turnê, substituindo a orquestra usada durante suas aparições na televisão. Para os shows, Carey usava uma roupa bege, com penteados variados. Nenhuma versão remix foi executada durante a digressão.

Em sua turnê mundial turnê mundial Rainbow (2000), Carey apresentou a versão original da música, mais uma vez apresentando a orquestra e os vocais femininos ao vivo. 2 anos depois, em 7 de dezembro de 2002, Carey apresentou a versão original de "My All" na frente de uma multidão de 50.000 pessoas, no concerto de encerramento do Teletón Mexicano, que ocorreu no Estádio Azteca do país. Desde a turnê mundial Charmbracelet em 2004, Carey não executou a versão completa do original, substituindo-o pelo remix dance após o segundo verso. Durante os shows na The Adventures of Mimi, Carey vestiu um biquíni preto e uma capa combinando, enquanto apresentava um cantor e duas cantoras. Na Angels Advocate Tour (2010), ela executou as versões originais e do remix dance, vestindo uma roupa vermelha enquanto cantava a música sentada. Novamente, o remix original e dance foi apresentado como um medley, apresentando os mesmos vocais de fundo da turnê anterior. Depois de completar a música, Carey foi levada por um dançarino sem camisa e levada do palco para uma mudança de figurino, enquanto o vocais de fundo continuava na versão dance.

Versões cover
Em 25 de fevereiro de 2014, Alisa Kozhikina, representante da Rússia no Festival Eurovisão da Canção Júnior 2014 venceu nas grandes finais de Golos Deti, a edição infantil russa do The Voice, apresentando uma versão russa da música chamada "Vsyo".

This is not a good time for the paranoid to be on the internet. In the wake of the first set of revelations from Edward Snowden, more is emerging about the extent of online eavesdropping by the security services on both sides of the Atlantic. According to Snowden British intelligence agency GCHQ showed off the ability to monitor YouTube video views, Facebook 'likes' and Blogger visits in real-time to its US colleagues back in 2012. The programme, named Squeaky Dolphin, even had its own logo (though looking at the design, I don't think the spies should give up their day jobs quite yet).
Even worse, spooks have been accessing smartphone data while people play Angry Birds, enabling them to get hold of user's personal information. Presumably the game was picked due to its global popularity, rather than being a cunning ruse by GCHQ and the NSA to enable staffs to play it during work time.
And in an unrelated story, a security company has found an internet-enabled fridge that has been hacked and is now sending spam. This is particularly worrying given the rise of the Internet of Things, with more and more devices and appliances around us connected to the web. Essentially each of these is a small, but powerful computer, often without the same level of security and protection than you see on a PC or tablet. Being able to hijack a fridge is one thing, but as the Internet of Things spreads, more sinister opportunities arise – remotely controlling smart cars or switching on and off hundreds of air conditioners to bring down a power grid are all possibilities.
Taking these stories together leads to two concerns in my mind. Firstly, internet privacy. I think most people understand the need to collect information on identified threats to public safety, provided due legal process has been followed. What Snowden seems to have uncovered is technological spying that has gone mad – exactly what you'd expect if you put a large bunch of very intelligent geeks in a room, give them all the resources they need and exonerate them from any qualms of conscience by saying it is in the national interest. So what happens to information that is found online that is not linked to terrorism but minor, non-criminal misdemeanours? GPS data that shows an MP was with his mistress when he should have been elsewhere or evidence of unsavoury (but not illegal) internet activities for example. The nature of technology means this information is unlikely to disappear, but will sit on servers somewhere, with no guarantee that it won't be pulled out in the future.
Secondly, security concerns have the ability to derail the Internet of Things. As Google's recent purchase of Nest shows, market momentum is increasing. But if people add the worry of security issues to privacy concerns they are less likely to embrace the opportunities that the Internet of Things offers when it comes to increased efficiency and energy saving. After all, I don't want GCHQ to know what's in my fridge – or burglars to know when I'm away on holiday.
There's been a lot of talk from politicians about reining in the security services and that needs to be formalised to reassure the law-abiding – instead of enabling spying, the tech industry should be focusing its intelligence on improving the actual security of the devices and applications that control our lives.

Q: How JQuery events triggered depending on Browser I have a checkbox "chk" in my code. I have onclick event for the checkbox and in jQuery I have (chk).change(function). The weird thing now is in FireFox the onclick function is executed first and then the change function is executed. But in Chrome/IE the change function is executing first and then the onclick function is executed. Can anyone help with why this is working so.

A: Your question is interesting and doing the test i noticed that even with a code similar to this the problem remains. In Chrome the onclick event fires after onchange and also we revert the events in input type the problem remains
<input name="" type="checkbox" onChange="second()" onClick="first()"   >
<script type="text/javascript">
function first(){
    console.log('first')
    }
function second(){
    console.log('second')
    }
</script>

I tried to ask a question to the community (this)
but, until now, i haven't received answers.
The only answer that I can give you is that your problem could be solved by using onclick instead of onMouseDown
<input name="" type="checkbox" value="" id='chk'  onMouseDown="first()">
<script type="text/javascript">
function first(){
    console.log('first')
    }
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#chk').on('change',function(){
        console.log('second')
    })
})
</script>

I'm sorry not to be able to help you more,
But that's all i could do, sorry for my english, and bye.

Q: What is the easiest way to tag user-submitted questions with category tags on a Django-base site? I am building a site in Django where users submit questions about a wide range of topics. When a question is submitted, I would like it to be tagged with the various categories to which it belongs so it can be grouped with related questions. For example, if someone asks "does breastfeeding increase the risk of cancer?", I want that question tagged with categories like "child care, breastfeeding, cancer, etc". I understand that categorizing content is a common issue and I am curious what the best options are.

A: The best way to do that is simply provide users some tags to manual choose using ManyToMany relationship. For example:
class Tag(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=40)

class Question(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=80)
    text = models.TextField()
    tags = models.ManyToMany(Tag)

Then you can create new tags and mark your questions,for example:
>>> tag1 = Tag(title='science')
>>> tag1.save()
>>> tag2 = Tag(title='music')
>>> tag2.save()
>>> tag3 = Tag(title='computers')
>>> tag3.save()
>>> question = Question(title='Question about science', text='very important question')
>>> question.save()
>>> question.tags.add(tag1)

Please, notice that you can add tags to only already saved objects. You can read more about Many-To-Many relationship in official documentation

A: What you're trying to achieve is not just a programming issue, because it has something to do with what I call AI, or artificial intelligence, which makes computers think somehow like humans.
Suppose you have these categories : sport, health, child care, politics, ....
If I post this question : "How bad can sport affect our health ?"
You can just split the question into words, as the words sport and health are  categories, so that question can easily be tagged with them.
Now if I post this question : " Did Cristiano Ronaldo refuse to donate $25000 to children ? "
This question doesn't have any words that are categories. However, by using our human mind, we can see that this questions belongs to those categories : sport, child care, society...
So the first algorithm is not suitable, and you will have to look for more ways and techniques that belong to artificial intelligence, things like machine learning, neural networks, semantics...
If you want to avoid all of this, you can just let the user select the categories that match his question, like what we do here in Stack Overflow, when we chose tags for our questions.
I hope that my answer will be helpful

Bindi Irwin and Family Have Saved More Than 90,000 Animals in Australia Wildfires
As devastating wildfires rage on across Australia, Bindi Irwin and her family are doing everything they can to protect and save the animals that call the country home.
New reports from ecologists at the University of Sydney last week found the animal death toll across Australia to be more than a half a billion.
Bindi took to Instagram Friday, ensuring followers that she and her family were safe, and have been hard at work treating tens of thousands of animals hurt by the wildfires.
A post shared by Bindi Irwin (@bindisueirwin) on Jan 2, 2020 at 2:07am PST
"With so many devastating fires within Australia, my heart breaks for the people and wildlife who have lost so much. I wanted to let you know that we are SAFE. There are no fires near us at Australia Zoo or our conservation properties," she wrote in an Instagram update.
The Irwin family owns and operates the Australia Zoo in Queensland, and a wildlife hospital where the 21-year-old said more than 90,000 animals have received care.
"Our Wildlife Hospital is busier than ever though, having officially treated over 90,000 patients," she said.
Along with the update, Bindi posted a photo of her standing in front of a picture of her late father, "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, and grandmother, Lyn Irwin. Their legacy lives on in the tireless efforts of Bindi, her brother Robert, and their mother, Terri.
As of Monday morning, there were 136 fires burning across the Australian state of New South Wales. Of those, 69 are not contained.
A post shared by COMPLEX (@complex) on Jan 6, 2020 at 8:38am PST
Almost a third of the koalas in New South Wales may have been killed in the fires, and a third of their habitat has been destroyed, said Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley.
In total, more than 14.7 million acres have been burned across the country's six states, according to CNN. "That's larger than the countries of Belgium and Haiti combined."

Dating website told to pull ads promising 'scientific' matches
Posted January 3, 2018 6:24 a.m. EST
By Alanna Petroff
LONDON (CNNMoney) — All you need is love... and accurate advertising.
Online dating website eHarmony has been barred from using ads that claim it offers a "scientifically proven matching system."
The U.K.'s Advertising Standards Authority found the ads were misleading, exaggerated and based on insufficient evidence.
In its bid to attract singles looking for love, eHarmony says it uses "sophisticated matching standards designed by PhD psychologists." Users of the website have to complete a lengthy questionnaire to help narrow down the search for compatible partners.
The company provided studies to back up its claim but the advertising watchdog was not convinced, saying the research didn't go far enough.
It told the company to stop claiming to have a "scientifically proven" system until it could provide "adequate evidence that [the] website offered users a significantly greater chance of finding lasting love than what could be achieved if they didn't use the service."
The ASA said eHarmony provided information showing couples who met on the site reported a "significantly higher marital quality" than couples who met offline, but it said this data was skewed.
"The sample of eHarmony couples was not a random or representative sample, but were instead taken from a group of self-selecting couples who were more likely to report positively on their marital satisfaction," the ASA said.
The decision comes months after a passenger on London's Tube complained about an eHarmony poster.
The ad said: "Step aside, fate. It's time science had a go at love."
Additional text claimed that users could "stack the odds of finding lasting love entirely in [their] favor" with a "scientifically proven matching system."
"Although we respectfully disagree with the ASA's findings, we are happy to work with them to assure that our advertising is as clear as possible," said Romain Bertrand, managing director at eHarmony UK.

Opposition parties will work together to defeat the BJP to defend India, its institutions and the democracy, Congress president Rahul Gandhi Thursday said after meeting the TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu. Naidu is trying to unite opposition parties to take on the saffron party in the Lok Sabha elections next year. Gandhi in the presence of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Naidu said both of them have decided "not to get into the past" but talk about the present and the future as it is "critical" for the country. The TDP had earlier criticised the Congress on the bifurcation of the state.


Can you touch a prayer? Can you pull it close and feel its comfort? You can if it's part of a prayer quilt.
The idea behind these beautiful prayer quilts is simple, yet powerful. A heavy thread is used to take stitches through the quilt layers, and the ends are left free to be tied with a square knot. As each knot is tied, a silent prayer is offered for someone in special need - someone who has asked us to pray for them. The quilt is then given to that person.
What makes each quilt so special is not the pattern, colour or workmanship, but that the fact that prayer is symbolically tied to each one. The comforters are a statement of faith, and a testimony to our belief in God and in the power of prayer.
Through our prayer quilt ministry, a number of quilts have been distributed, each a special gift of love. They have been made for sick babies, for terminally ill patients, for adults and children facing surgery or difficult family situations - for many reasons, but each for someone in special need of the healing power of prayer.


Sunil Kumar and self-appointed nurse Bea look after ailing Kriti. Bea was brought to Maitri as a pup on the verge of death in January 2003. She always chooses to sit next to ailing or weak dogs.
[In India] one sees hundreds of dogs crowding the streets and the countryside scavenging for food, skins ravaged by mange, nursing and protecting their pups, then leaving them to their own devices; innumerable goats foraging in the fields, nursing their kids, and then their carcasses hanging along the streets; and cows eating out of trash heaps, so sacred and yet sold to the butcher when too old to reproduce and give milk. Then there are the mild buffaloes, so mercilessly exploited for their milk; sturdy donkeys carrying heavy bundles of clothes while left to fend for themselves; little horses attached to carts carrying up to ten people even when pregnant or lactating, small hairy pigs allowed to strut freely around with their families and then mercilessly chased and pierced with iron bars…. However, I have come to see all this, not so much as a sign of India's heartlessness, rather as a part of the overall distorted vision of human beings toward all other forms of life on this planet.
My feeding the street dogs outside the gate of my former flat in Gaya, then transferring some of their offspring to Maitri's campus, and finally adding to them as many as would be found and would survive along with the goats "rescued" from the butcher, simply represent small attempts of my own to make up for the wrongs we humans have been wreaking on other beings and, in some way, to advocate their right to exist and share the space we call ours.

Q: Error loading .Net assembly I'm trying to anyalyse a problem where an assembly ASSEMBLY is dynamically loaded at runtime using
Assembly.loadFrom("filePath")

in some DLL myDLL1. The same ASSEMBLY was statically linked with another DLL myDLL2 in the same solution, and there are calls to both DLLs from the solution, myExecutable, say. This works fine if exactly the same ASSEMBLY is found in the folder the solution is deployed to. ASSEMBLY has, say, .Net version 1.0.1.1 and file version 1.0.1.7
Now a new file version 1.0.1.8 of ASSEMBLY was published which has exaxtly the same .Net version 1.0.1.1 as file version 1.0.1.7 of ASSEMBLY. The assemblies have strong names and the public key token of the different file versions are different, as well. First question: is this reasonable?
If I place the new file version of the assembly into the folder the solution is deployed to, I now get an error. I assume this is because .Net runtime is unhappy about the public key token which is not as expected according to the manifest of myDLL1, could somone confirm this guess?
The fuslogvw output with names adapted to the example description is as follows:
Assembly Binder Log Entry  (11.11.2011 @ 13:38:52)

The operation failed.
Bind result: hr = 0x80070002. The system cannot find the file specified.

Assembly manager loaded from:  C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorwks.dll
Running under executable  myExecutable
--- A detailed error log follows.

=== Pre-bind state information ===
LOG: User = xxxxx
LOG: DisplayName = ASSEMBLY (Partial)
LOG: Appbase = (folder the solution is deployed to)
LOG: Initial PrivatePath = NULL
LOG: Dynamic Base = NULL
LOG: Cache Base = NULL
LOG: AppName = NULL
Calling assembly : myDLL1, Version=2.1.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=.....
===
LOG: Start binding of native image ASSEMBLY, Version=1.0.1.1, Culture=neutral,      PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxx.
LOG: IL assembly loaded from ASSEMBLY.
WRN: No matching native image found.
LOG: Bind to native image assembly did not succeed. Use IL image.

I tried to use a bindingRedirect to version 1.0.1.1 first with the public key token from ASSEMBLY file version 1.0.1.8 as produced by sn -Tp and also with the
public key token for ASSEMBLY from the manifest information of myDLL1 corresponding to file version 1.0.1.7, but I get the same error. I also added the redirect Information to the myExecutable configuration.
I then tried to use a bindingRedirect to version 1.0.1.2 with the public key token
of the newer version of ASSEMBLY. The new file version is loaded but then I get, of course, a revision mismatch.
Can anyone tell me how to use the new file version of ASSEMBLY in this setup without having to replace the whole solution statically linked to the new file version, which, of course, does work?
TIA and best regards,
Thomas

A: Ok, after doing some more research and experiments I could now answer my question myself. Here's what I found:

*

*The .Net framework will refuse to load an assembly for an application if the assembly is not signed with the same key the assembly had against which the application was statically linked at compile time. It seems this cannot be changed using the application.config file or the machine.config file, though I could not find proof for this in the documentation. After thinking about this for a while I think this is reasonable behaviour, as it kind of proves that the user of the application works with the same assembly the developer had used.

*The extent to which I'm sure now that 1) is correct is as follows: if the key is kept the same for different versions of the assembly, then binding redirection works fine for these versions. This is true for both rebinding using an application.config as well as a machine.config file.
These same configuration files stop working, however, as soon as the assembly is signed with a different key. The nasty thing in this case is that the log produced by fuslogvw tells you that binding failed for some other reason (e.g. minor version number mismatch). It does not complain about the wrong public key token.
The other nasty thing is that you can add the public key token as an attribute to the XML tag in the config files, which lead me on the wrong road right in the beginning. I do not know why the public key may or should be added to the configuration files, as .Net can retrieve this information from the assembly and application binary.
I do not know whether the behaviour described in 1) can be changed by messing with the security.config file of the .Net Framework. (Though even if it could be changed that way this will probably introduce security risks I would not want to create on my PC).


Keeping up with the changing face of IT is a pain in the arse at times. Half the time I'm looking at some bleeding edge technology wondering what the hell it does, who would want it and whether it's worth the effort. All too often the answers are "No idea", "no one" and "no".
Still, it grates a bit when a consultant is called in because some beancounter, board member or auditor wants to be super sure that we're making the absolute most out of our IT investment whilst also ensuring that we're keeping a weather eye out for future trends.
"It's no slur on you professionally," the Boss says as we traipse along to a meeting with our new consultant. "It's just the company wants to be sure that we're able to meet the future needs of our clients AND that we're not spending money unnecessarily."
"Like money on expensive consultants?" I ask.
"So we'll meet with him and outline what we're doing?" the PFY asks, moving on.
"Meet with HER, outline where we are, where we want to be, the technologies we use, the technologies we don't and also the technologies that we aspire to use into the future."
"Here, the pub, my iPad Mini, most Android tablets and a TARDIS," the PFY says, "so I can go back in time and execute Simon Cowell."
"I mean technology for improving the workplace," the Boss chips back.
"It would be an improvement!"
"Uh... I think we should go in now," the Boss says, reaching for a door handle.
We dutifully enter and are met by a woman whose outfit makes our dress-code appear "third world casual".
"Gina Barker - Lightfoot, Barker & Ellice" she says, extending a hand.
We introduce ourselves and I pass the time during the initial questions about Corporate Vision, Client Base, Aspirations for the future, etc. by updating the Boss's Facebook profile which he was foolish enough to use an old password on.
I'm just updating his relationship status to "It's complicated by my gender reassignment surgery and my burning passion for cast iron garden furniture" when the topic of "IT technologies and their effect on brand recognition and the adoption of client loyalty" comes up.
"Ideally I feel the company's direction is shaped by the desires of our client base and yet we've really not done any in-depth work - as a discovery exercise - on what THEY will be looking for from US. Whilst we have some idea about what attracted them to the company in the first place, it's difficult to know whether the technology adoption we've currently got in play is tailored to their future needs without some form of rigorous investigative process. Otherwise, REALLY, we're leading a horse to water before we shoot it in the head."
If anyone can make anything out of that load of swill they've got my vote.
"So what you're saying is that without talking to your clients there's no way of knowing whether you're going in the right direction?" Gina asks.
The Boss, on the other hand, has lapsed into some form of stupor which is an even lower level of the one he normally operates in, and is silent. He blinks occasionally so he's still alive, worse luck.
I decide to continue with the groping exercise by juxtaposing technical words together in an ad hoc manner in an effort to pretend they are real things.
"What I'm more concerned about is that we're investing in hardware capable of several million tera mega flops whereas we might be better placed changing our focus to scopable tapered bandwidth provision with a view to getting full saturation of our core technology platforms, which would, in the broadest sense mean that we're effectively utilising our investment to the tune of 95 to 100 per cent"
The Boss might have stopped blinking, I'm not sure. No great loss.
"So if I'm hearing you right, your existing mega tera flops" she says, emphasising the change in term, "are at a conditional level which might mean that oversupply would simply mean a poor investment choice where utilisation percentages would actually reduce but add no appreciable performance enhancement to your hardware pool?"
"Well I think you've got a handle on it!" the Boss says, pulling the ejector switch and heading for the door. "So I'll just wait for your report Gina?"
Before we know it the Boss has gone leaving Gina, the PFY and me sitting in the room.
And straight away I can see it's one of those power play situations where the first person to talk loses.
"WELL, I think I might go make myself a coffee," the PFY says. "Can I get either of you anything?"
"Eight thousand quid," Gina says.
"What's that, then," I ask, realising that I might know less about power play situations that I thought.
"It's what I think I can get out of your company for doing... uh... absolutely nothing."
"I..." I say, not liking my position in this conversation at all.
"I'll work on my technical analysis for about two weeks – and by 'work' I mean order several cases of wine to be shipped to my holiday place on the French coast, and drink them.
"Then I'll produce an 80-page report full of those ambiguous technical terms we were just using, complete with a two-page executive summary which just says 'Rebrand and Refresh your IT staff and systems'. OR..."
"Or?" I ask, wondering if Gina's single but also worrying about who the alpha dog would end up being.
"OR... I could earn TEN thousand quid, eight of which would come from the company."
"Where would the other two come from," I ask, already suspecting the answer.
Gina just stares back at me.
So it's beta dog or nothing.
"So you want me to pay you 2k? Why not just bill the company 10k?"
"Because that wouldn't teach you a lesson," Gina responds.
"See," Gina says, "I do this crap year in year out, and I hate it – but it pays really well. And I've so many referees that pretty much every word I say sounds like the words of an intellectual – eve, though I churn out pretty much the same report every single time albeit with some fairly simple changes to paragraph style, keywords, company names, etc.
"I have a Perl script that does it. It's about 100 lines long - but I could make it shorter if I didn't want readability. Basically, in the time it takes me to drive to the airport the report is complete, is dryer than a Tolstoy novel – and yes, that can be done – and it's just the sort of thing management use to cut themselves loose of people in Gordian knot-like contracts."
"And so this is how you do business?" I ask. "And your partners are OK with this?"
"My partners are, sadly, deceased. Mr Lightfoot passed away several weeks ago in a tragic pillow-related sleeping accident at his rest home and Mr Ellice died of a vision-related illness."
"How can you die of a vision-related illness?"
"He didn't see a van. Admittedly, it was on the footpath at the time, but a tragedy nonetheless. So in answer to your question, as the sole living partner, I'm okay with it. Any questions?"
"I... only... Would you marry me?"


This church was in Banchory Road, Blackheath and was replaced in 2009. There was no war memorial as the members are recorded as having contributed to the cost of a war memorial outside St. John's Church in Blackheath. Apparently there is a roll of honour inside that church listing 134 names.
Herbert Andrews, Thomas Devonshire and Basil Johnson can also be linked to the church in that members of their families are recorded as having contributed to the Million Guinea Fund.

More Than 500 Anticipated to Graduate at University's Eighth Annual Fall Conferring of Degrees
By Morgan State U
BALTIMORE — Morgan State University (MSU) President David K. Wilson announced today that April D. Ryan, White House correspondent, CNN political analyst and Washington, D.C. bureau chief for TheGrio, will serve as the keynote speaker for the 8th Fall Commencement Exercises at the National Treasure. Ryan, a celebrated and widely respected journalist, and proud Morgan alumna, returns to alma mater to deliver a message of inspiration before more than 500 anticipated graduates, members of the faculty, University officials and guests on Friday, December 17, at Talmadge L. Hill Field House. Ryan last participated in a Morgan Commencement in 2017, during the University's sesquicentennial year, where she received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree.
The occasion marks a welcomed return to an in-person Fall Commencement ceremony at Morgan following the previous year's pandemic-deferred exercises. Graduates being honored—those receiving undergraduate as well as master's and doctoral degrees—will receive four tickets for guests and all those in attendance will be required to wear masks and adhere to all COVID-19 safety protocols during events.

"April Ryan is uniquely positioned to deliver an inspiring and uplifting message to our graduates in a way that very few others in this era can do and in a manner that is both highly relatable and equally captivating," said President Wilson. "She has had a front-row seat in observing the challenges to our democracy and the social awakening this country tumultuously navigated to crescendo effect with the murder of George Floyd. Ms. Ryan has been a conscientious purveyor of this land's most cherished freedoms—holding true to the tenets of 'a free media' and serving the people with a virtuous pen."
One of the nation's prominent and most distinguished veteran journalists, April Ryan has cemented her brand as a political commentator amid a teeming landscape of traditional, print, broadcast and digital media. She is a 1989 graduate of Morgan State University and Baltimore native who began her career as News Director at Baltimore's beloved WXYV-FM, "V-103." Transitioning from the airwaves of her hometown radio station, Ryan broadened her reach to nationwide audiences at American Urban Radio Networks (AURN). At AURN, Ryan was retained to be the Washington bureau chief and White House correspondent for the national syndicate—a role she has preserved through today serving as the current Washington, D.C. bureau chief for TheGrio.
As a White House Correspondent under five U.S. presidents, Ryan has a unique vantage point as the only Black woman reporter covering urban issues affording her unusual insight into the racial sensitivities, issues and attendant political struggles of the nation's Executive Office. These insights and experiences have formed building blocks for Ryan's advocacy and engagement. She gives back to the community by serving as a mentor to aspiring journalists and assisting with developing "up and coming" broadcasters.
"Ms. Ryan has lived the Morgan experience and is the embodiment of Morgan Made. Our graduates will be well-served hearing from this celebrated Morgan alumna at this poignant time," added Wilson.
Ryan has covered, traveled extensively with and interviewed presidents and first ladies, amassing a credentialed career as a political analyst who has frequented CNN and MSNBC as a recurring guest, in addition to appearances on NBC's Meet the Press, ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, and CBS's Face the Nation. In 2011, April Ryan became the third African American elected to the prestigious White House Correspondents Association in its 107-year history, and she has received many other awards for her news coverage and political commentary, including the 2014 Capital Press Club's North Star, Voice of Black America Award. In 2015, Ryan was nominated for an NAACP Image Award (Outstanding Literary Work – Debut Author) for her first book and was named the Mary McCloud Bethune Trailblazer by the National Council of Negro Women in the subsequent year.
In 2017, Ryan was named "Journalist of the Year" by the National Association of Black Journalists and, in 2019, was recognized as the Freedom of the Press Award Winner by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. In 2021, she was nominated to receive an NAACP Image Award for Social Justice Impact.
Previously featured in Essence, Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Elle magazines, Ryan is an award-winning author, as well, having penned The Presidency in Black and White, and At Mama's Knee: Mothers and Race in Black and White, where she examined race relations through the lessons and wisdom that mothers have given their children. Her latest book is Under Fire: Reporting from the Front Lines of the Trump White House.

Austin doctor tests positive after getting COVID-19 vaccine, calls it 'bad luck'
Doctors across the country have warned people need both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine to create antibodies to fight off the coronavirus.
Author: Mike Marut (KVUE)
Updated: 10:33 AM CST January 4, 2021
AUSTIN, Texas — Dr. Emily Porter and her husband got vaccinated for COVID-19 before Christmas.
Right around that time, her son was showing signs of being sick: nothing out of the ordinary for a young boy.
"He had a little runny nose and a fever for a day," Porter said. "In retrospect, we probably should have tested in the day that he got a fever, but isolating a five-year-old from a household of six is also quite difficult."
Days after getting vaccinated, Porter's husband started showing symptoms of coronavirus: a fever and being unusually tired. He tested positive. A day or two after that, Porter tested positive and was feeling similar symptoms, mostly shortness of breath.
"We knew that the vaccine didn't have time to work because they're saying really 10 to 14 days for 50% efficacy [after the first dose]," Porter said.
RELATED: H-E-B pharmacies not yet vaccinating Texans in group 1B
Porter and her husband had not yet gotten their second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Doctors across the country have said both doses are essential to being able to fight off the virus. Even so, both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have 95% efficacy.
Coincidentally, Porter believes her son may have contracted the virus from his daycare and brought it home. They had not traveled or seen any family or friends for the holidays. Her son first started showing symptoms of being sick about a week before Christmas, after coming home from daycare.
🧵Damn. We almost had a royal flush. This doesn't include my husband's positive & I suspect 1 false negative. We didn't gather/dine in/travel. Skipped church/Xmas. Masked. Distanced. 2/6 of us had 1st vaccine. 3/6 of us had no symptoms. And first sign of something off was 12/25. pic.twitter.com/bTACKNr11s
— Emily Porter, M.D. (@dremilyportermd) December 31, 2020
RELATED: Are there any long-term effects of the COVID-19 vaccine?
Now, Porter suspects her whole family is positive for COVID-19 after getting her four children tested for the virus.
One child tested negative, but she believes it's a false negative because the entire family has quarantined together and everyone has shown symptoms.
"I have no doubt in my mind that this is just really bad luck that we had," Porter said.
With the holidays ending, she plans to talk with her family's primary care physician regarding when to get the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine: when she is originally scheduled three weeks after her first dose, or if she should wait a while longer as antibodies naturally develop after she contracted the virus.
As it stands, Porter has no plans to send her kids back to school until well after the quarantine period. The Porter family will get tested again before seeing any other family members or going back to work.

One Lucky Day: I want it all!
Look at what's in the house at Simon Says Stamp!
The quilting and crafting packs have arrived!
There are so many different sets, I had to make myself a chart just to get the available sizes straight!
Fat Eighth - Each pack contains 24 pieces of 9" x 21" fabric.
I listed the ending digits of each pack to go with the links at the bottom.
Charm Pack - 8 pieces of 10" x 10" fabric.
And yes, you can buy yardage however, you will need to contact a local fabric or quilting store to see if they carry it. Please don't forget to check out what has been posted the last week or so on Sew4Home. This amazing quilt sewn by Michele Mishner is amazing. Such detail in the stitch work.

Mine are on the way...WOOHOO!!!!
Looking forward to seeing what everyone creates with the fabric! I must admit I'm a bit stumped as to how I'm going to use them as I don't sew. Thanks for the info on all the choices.
Good stuff in every size!
I can't wait 'till I get my hands on my order...my project is already laid out; thank you for sharing the sizes.

Mortal Longing è il terzo album in studio del gruppo musicale statunitense Sleepthief, previsto per agosto 2018 che conterrà diciassette tracce. Tra le voci prescelte i già noti Coury Palermo (nella ballad "Zero Sum"), Kirsty Hawkshaw, Kristy Thirsk, Jody Quine (oltre al singolo, canterà sul pezzo Falcon in Snow ispirato alla leggenda di Ginevra e Lancillotto) e le novità Stine Grove, Carla Werner, Phildel (nei pezzi "Dust & Cloud" e "Where The Heart Is"), Julia Beyer. Una nuova versione della cover di Send Me An Angel è stata pubblicata a dicembre 2012, più orchestrale rispetto a quella già uscita nel 2009.

San Telmo Business School in Campo de Gibraltar
The business school of reference in Andalusia, San Telmo Business School, has organized in Los Barrios, in collaboration with GUADACORTE, the open day: "Amazon: a massive distributor."
During the event, more than fifty businesspeople and managers from Campo de Gibraltar discussed, using a case study, the Amazon's business model and a retail business model, both online and offline, as well as their evolution.
On the other hand, there was an interesting debate moderated by Enrique Garrido, Prof. of this business school, on the role that Amazon marketplace plays for SMEs, which many companies use to market their products.
Global training program focused on SMEs
Durante la jornada también hubo tiempo para hablar del Programa Pymex, único programa en España especializado en Dirección de Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas y que imparte esta escuela de negocios en sus sedes de Málaga y Sevilla. Este programa, que se desarrolla un día a la semana (lunes), reúne durante un año a alrededor de 50 jóvenes directivos y empresarios con un perfil medio de 36 años de edad y 12 años de experiencia.
During the day there was also time to talk about the Pymex Program, the only program in Spain focused on managerial skills from Small and Medium Enterprises, provided by this business school in both headquarters Malaga and Seville. This program, which takes place one day per week (Monday), brings together around 50 young managers and businesspeople with an average of 36 years of age and 12 years of experience.
Through the case study, participants are exposed to four or five real-life cases weekly. Like this, "they undergo an intense assimilation of practical experiences that, at the end of the program, will be equivalent to years of professional experience," says Emérito Bejar, Executive Director of the PYMEX Program.
On the other hand, it is a global program, that is to say, it covers all areas of knowledge of the company, because it is for people who occupy or will occupy positions of responsibility (managers, CEOs or entrepreneurs), who have the obligation and need to have knowledge enough to be able to interpret the information they receive, make correct diagnosis, propose the best alternatives and make decisions considering how they will impact each area of the organization. In a similar way, in spite of being a global program, special attention is paid to the characteristics of SMEs, with particular focus in family matters.
A business school of reference
Since its foundation in 1982, more than 11,000 entrepreneurs and senior managers of companies and private institutions have carried out programs at San Telmo Business School. They look to improve their business strategy, skills and performance and, at the end of each course, participants have reinforced their willingness to make good decisions and generate wealth. In other words: "our students undergo a radical life transformation". There is a before and after," says Arancha Loriente Director of Activities and Head of San Telmo Business School in Campo de Gibraltar.
Both the Pymex and the other programs of the business school have been designed to adapt the training to the needs of businesspeople and managers, in order to improve their work performance. "Participants discover their potential, some of them hidden strengths, as well as their weaknesses," says José María Camacho, Deputy Director of Alumni Department.

Language is at the heart of learning. It is how thought, meaning and understanding are expressed, and provides access to literature, culture, history, the sciences and the arts. It provides us with immediate access to different cultures and perspectives and integration into the school community as well as local and international communities.
The ability for students to communicate with each other at VVS, and for them to communicate with others around the world in more than one language, is critical in fostering international understanding, cultural empathy and in developing balanced, open-minded global citizens for the next generation. The study of a second language provides access to a different culture, and learning culture through language is the focus of second language classes.
Language B 1/ IB Language B ab initio SL 1, is an introduction to the studied language and culture. The course concentrates on the fundamentals of grammar, usage, and vocabulary with an emphasis on learning the skills of speaking, reading, writing, and listening. The goal is to instill in the students an appreciation for another culture and to promote good social relationships.
Language B 2/ IB Language B ab initio SL 2 rigorously reviews the basics of the language, giving students a firm foundation upon which to build more advanced skills. Students' reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills improve through frequent drills, tests, essays, reading assignments, and practice exercises. Included is the cultural and historical context of the language.
In this course students go beyond listening and practicing speaking by pursuing self-expression in a second language. They develop practical reading and writing skills, and build and regularly use a diverse vocabulary. They also learn to understand many aspects of cultural and historical contexts relating to the language.
Prerequisites: 3-4 years exposure to the language.
Students develop a practical and useful mastery of the oral and written language through the proper use of a broad vocabulary, all verb tenses, and grammatical structures that allow for normal communication. They also become familiar with culture and history, thereby allowing them to understand themselves and others more fully. Emphasis is on the development of speaking, listening, writing, and reading skills. The curriculum instills a profound intellectual internationalism, as stressed by the IB Learner Profile.
Prerequisites: 5-6 years exposure to the language.

Talking (in some depth) about things that seem important
This article appeared in the December 2000 issue of Medical Humanities in the series Medicine through the Novel.
'Unless you are fond of hollering you don't make great conversations on a running cycle. Instead you spend your time being aware of things and meditating on them. On sights and sounds, on the mood of the weather and things remembered, on the machine and the countryside you're in, thinking about things at great leisure and length without being hurried and without feeling that you are losing time.' (p 17)
The gentle voice is incredibly familiar, heard now for the third time, a voice that seems to have got itself into my deepest being.
Not that I came to the book very quickly. I never do. It had all the hallmarks of a fashion, way back in the early seventies when people used to talk about it. Zen – motorcycles - ugh. All far too flower-powery for me. But I've made up for it since.
I can't remember who persuaded me to try it, but when I eventually did I understood enough of it to want to read it again. Very carefully. In fact I highlighted great chunks of it the second time, in a rather ugly, green highlighter, and then lent the copy to somebody and never saw it again. Which is just as well, I don't think highlighter is the way to summarise an odyssey, to capture the sound of that motorcycle in the empty vastness of minor-road prairie America, or the voice of Pirsig as he quietly unfolds the many purposes of his wonderful book. His sensing of that coming storm (the returning ghost) long before the first thin line of cloud is visible on the far horizon. Long before his son, Chris, close behind him on the bike but terribly distant, senses it, or their travelling companions John and Sylvia do, up the road ahead on their expensive BMW. Of whose surface they are so proud, but of whose inner workings they have no understanding at all.
'What I would like to do now is use the time that is coming now to talk about some things that have come to mind. We're in such a hurry most of the time we never get much chance to talk. The result is a kind of endless day-to-day shallowness, a monotony that leaves a person wondering years later where all the time went and sorry that it's all gone. Now that we do have some time, and know it, I would like to use the time to talk in some depth about things that seem important.' (Still p 17)
The first time you read the book it takes you (at least it took me) practically the whole of it to be sure that the extraneous third person he calls Phaedrus, whom he shares with us but with no one in the book (except, gradually, with Chris) is in fact himself. One track of his Odyssey is this agonised rediscovery of the part of his mind which, before his breakdown and his ablative ECT therapy, used to be a brilliant, radical professor of rhetoric, IQ 170, obsessed with the meaning of Quality. By which he meant the Good. By which he meant the God. By which he meant the Buddha. By which he meant the Tao.
With us as his confidant Pirsig revisits the classrooms where the epic confrontations of this Phaedrus, both student and teacher, occurred. We watch him inch open the long-locked lid of the box of Phaedrus' ideas. Dangerous, exciting, compelling ideas which once convinced him that the world was insane; and which convinced the world he was. Together we excavate for the buried foundations of his certainty that ancient Greek philosophers took a desperately-important wrong turning when they swept aside the softer teachings of the Sophists they replaced. 'Truth won, the Good lost, and that is why today we have so little difficulty accepting the reality of truth and so much difficulty accepting the reality of Quality, even though there is no more agreement in one area than in the other.' (p 375)
The tragedy is that Pirsig wrote his book in the seventies believing, and rightly, that Phaedrus' ideas would fall on more receptive minds than they had in the fifties when their author first tried to propound them. He expected this trend towards enlightenment would continue, but of course we know that it hasn't. In the seventies it would have been thought madness to suggest that medical practice could be defined by rigid rules. Today it is our tragedy to live at a time when this bizarre idea is the orthodoxy, held with frightening certainty by those on high, and it is to think otherwise that is now thought mad, and those who do so are rejected as completely as Phaedrus ever was.
Of course, the beauty of the book is its balance, caught so neatly in its famous title. The art of motorcycle maintenance. What could be more technical than a motorcycle? If there is art here, surely it must be everywhere! Q, as they say, E.D.
So, Pirsig makes it clear beyond the slightest doubt that he is a superb technician; that is what makes it so difficult to ignore what he says about abstract things. It is transparently obvious that he knows what he is talking about when he describes how to cope with the setback of assembling an engine in the wrong order and then having to take it apart again. Similarly he knows exactly why a 'shim' cut from an aluminium beer-can will make a perfect solution to the slight looseness of John's handlebars, although John can't accept such defilement of his precious BMW and prefers to leave the handlebars loose, perhaps for ever. "I was seeing what the shim meant." Pirsig patiently explains. "He was seeing what the shim was." (p 60)
In just the same way he obviously knows what he is doing when he hikes into the mountains with his son. He had spent a lot of time hiking in the mountains in his former self. To Chris' disgust he ducks the summit this time, partly because of increasing rock-falls but partly because he has reached a peak in his own mind, which is what he really set out to achieve. But as they descend, far from any track, a step at a time, hacking through dense woods with a machete, we have no doubt he is going to find his way back to the road.
In just the same way Pirsig knows what he is talking about on the abstract things, the philosophy stuff. The irony of the book is that we know, perhaps more than he does himself, that the quiet voice we are listening to comes straight from that brilliant mind and not just from a humble technical author, which is what he says he is now content to be:
What you've got here, really, are two realities, one of immediate artistic appearance and one of underlying scientific explanation, and they don't match and they don't fit and they don't really have much of anything to do with one another. That's quite a situation. You might say there's a little problem here. (p 63)
The relevance of this book to our present-day situation seems to me impossible to exaggerate. This is a view with which contemporary critics concurred. To pick out isolated extracts is my job, but of course it's a distortion. Nonetheless, try this for size:
'It's the style that gets you; technological ugliness syruped over with romantic phoniness in an attempt to produce beauty and profit by people who, though stylish, don't know where to start because no one has ever told them there's such a thing as Quality in this world and it's real, not style. Quality isn't something you lay on top of objects like tinsel on a Christmas tree. "Real Quality must be the source of the subjects and objects, the cone from which the tree must start… (Page 296)
'My personal feeling is that this is how any further improvement of the world will be done: by individuals making Quality decisions and that's all. God, I don't want to have any more enthusiasm for big programs full of social planning for big masses of people that leave individual Quality out. These can be left alone for a while. There's a place for them but they've got to be built on a foundation of Quality within the individuals involved. We've had that individual Quality in the past, exploited it as a natural resource without knowing it, and now it's just about depleted. Everyone's just about out of gumption. And I think it's about time to return to the rebuilding of this American resource - individual worth. There are political reactionaries who've been saying something close to this for years. I'm not one of them, but to the extent they're talking about real individual worth and not just an excuse for giving more money to the rich, they're right. We do need a return to individual integrity, self-reliance and old-fashioned gumption. We really do. I hope that in this Chautauqua some directions have been pointed to.' (Page 362)
Chris likes ghost stories and his father says he can't remember any, 'Go to sleep'. But he knows really he is writing about ghosts; this ghost of his former self; the ghosts of the Sophists philosophers; the ghost in the machine, that perhaps most of all. And he is writing about journeys; this journey across half of America, which I have on this third reading marked with trail of 'push-pins' on my Encarta Atlas (at last finding something the computer map does well); then this journey of discovery of his former self, then this journey in his relationship with his son; then this journey towards greater understanding of reality – which is the mysterious purpose of our lives.
The scene which from my first reading always seemed the centre of the book comes surprisingly near the end (pages 359-60 of my 416 page edition). It is the one where a taciturn and monosyllabic mechanic in Grants Pass, Oregon, barely 70 miles from the Pacific coast, performs what seemed to be an impossible welding job on a torn metal chain-guard after a replacement had been found to be unobtainable. The description of that lone man's exquisite and totally unselfconscious artistry is beautifully done and impossible to render out of context. You need to have travelled those weary roads. Click to read this passage anyway!
'Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?', says Chris, on the penultimate page.
'If you take care of it.'
'What do you have to do?'
'Lot's of things. You've been watching me.'
'Will you show me all of them?'
'Sure.'
'Is it hard?'
'Not if you have the right attitudes. It's having the right attitudes that's hard.'
Pirsig convinces, utterly, that in motorcycle maintenance, of all superbly-chosen examples, the art is more fundamental than the science. It's having the right attitudes that matters. So, we must ask ourselves, how much more must this apply to medicine! How could we ever have been so blind as to think otherwise! Perhaps our greatest contemporary folly has been to forget to work on those attitudes. Perhaps a journal of medical humanities is a big step in the right direction. I certainly hope so.
Back, then, one and a half thousand miles to North Dakota and to the middle of Chapter Three. The two bikes have exchanged a signal and decided to run for it to escape that looming storm he had seen coming two chapters earlier. Pirsig describes the way they pick up speed. Seventy… eighty… eighty five… The road verge blurring, going out of focus. Ninety miles an hour. The machine running superbly. That tight, 'packed', high-rev sound that shows the engine he maintains so lovingly is perfectly tuned. And then:
'A flash and Ka-wham! Of thunder, one right on top of the other. That shook me, and Chris has got his head against my back. A few warning drops of rain … at this speed they are like needles . A second flash-WHAM and everything brilliant … and then in the brilliance of the next flash that farmhouse … that windmill … oh, my God, he's been here! … throttle off … this is his road … a fence and trees … and the speed drops to seventy, then sixty, then fifty five and I hold it there.' (p 38)
'Why did you slow down, Dad?' , says Chris that evening, when they are safe and dry, 'Sylvia said she thought you saw a ghost.'
He did see a ghost; Phaedrus had arrived in the story.

Branding and Corporate Identity: Trade Show Marketing 101 - Consolidated Displays, Inc.
When designing your trade show booth, it is critical to present a coherent corporate image. Every element of your booth, including booth design, graphics, signage, promotional literature, color scheme, and giveaways, must be united by a recognizable signature that is unique to your company.
Company colors and logos can easily be incorporated into your trade show exhibit and carpets, and can be imprinted on your promo items and literature. Thinking beyond company colors, color can be used to reinforce a corporate identity. Suppose your company is technology based. In that case, you may wish to employ a metallic silver or gray color scheme in order to suggest scientific progress and the spirit of the future.
If you decide to go with a themed booth, try to keep it consistent with your company's image. Think about an anniversary year tie in. For instance, if your company was incorporated in 1926, you might consider a roaring twenties theme to commemorate eighty plus of service. Your designer can easily create an art deco display for your booth. It doesn't have to be too elaborate, just enough to suggest a theme. Period clothes can easily and inexpensively be rented from any local costume shop. Attendees visiting your booth will associate your business with stability and longevity.
A few years ago at EXHIBITOR, a trade show for the trade show industry, an exhibit manufacturer created a park-like theme with grass, park benches, and statues. The theme emphasized that working with the manufacturer was easy and carefree, "Like a Walk in the Park." The theme was well received because the depiction was accurate and a clever depiction of a familiar cliché.
If you hire a speaker to present at your booth, again make the choice consistent with your company image. Consider a local author who has written a book about your industry. Most authors will jump at an opportunity to promote their book and are accustomed to public speaking while on book tours. A timely tie in with a thought provoking book will stimulate discussion and interest in your booth.
Consistency is the key when planning your booth. Make sure all elements of your booth include some clue, visual or otherwise, to your brand or identity. A unified presentation will make an indelible impression on your customers.
For more infomation about trade show or event marketing, give us a call or send us an email. We welcome the opportunity to assist you with your next event.

'Dancing Queen' Oreta stages comeback in Malabon
Oct 13, 2015 @ 5:52
Former senator and Malabon Rep. Tessie Aquino-Oreta will be running again for the city's lone congressional district in the 2016 elections.
Oreta, President Aquino's aunt, will run under the banner of the Liberal Party (LP), along with her son, re-electionist mayor Antolin Oreta.
Mrs. Oreta is eyeing the seat of Rep. Josephine Veronique Lacson-Noel, who, in turn, will challenge Mayor Oreta.
Mrs. Oreta, the youngest of the Aquino children of Benigno Aquino, Sr., served as Malabon City-Navotas representative from 1987 to 1998.
She then got elected senator in 1998.
But what most people remembered about her is her infamous dance moves during the impeachment trial of former president Joseph Estrada.
After voting for the opening of the "second envelope", Oreta was caught in camera doing a jig, which earned her the nickname "dancing queen" and offended some people.
She later apologized for the incident. Three years later, she ran for re-election but was defeated.

Tonight they dimmed the lights on Deck 9 and many of us gathered towards the bow to look up into the sky. Some students who have lived primarily in cities their whole lives had never seen the stars like this at all. There were ooh, aahs and even some giggles of delight. The milky way was visible and Cassiopeia could be seen just above the north west horizon. I plan to head to bed early so that I may get up before sunrise to see the southern cross. A constellation I will see for the first time.
The horizon to the west glowed faintly with the lights of cities we could not see. We are only close enough to witness the side effects of their existence. It is a reminder that the day after tomorrow I will be stepping off this ship and onto the soil of South America.
I was told that tomorrow night we will likely see bright flares from oil rigs burning off excess natural gas. It was described as visually beautiful but depressing for the soul. I'm not sure I want to witness it.
One more day of ocean travel ahead.


Kitchens and bathrooms often are among the last parts of a new home to be completed. But at The Residences at Taylor Mountain project in southeast Santa Rosa, they have started arriving before the first foundations are ready for them.
An often-touted benefit of modular construction is acceleration of a project timeline by as much as double, as work on site and in the factory can happen simultaneously. But in the case of this 93-townhome project, the production plant got ahead of the on-site work.
Santa Rosa-based HybridCore Homes has delivered over a dozen of its "wet cores" — modules with ample plumbing such as bathrooms and kitchens — to the townhome project site at 2880 Franz Kafka Ave. from factories in the Central Valley. But with thousands of homes destroyed in Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino counties in October and hundreds more destroyed in wildfires in Southern and Northern California in the months since, such factories are getting to be as busy as local subcontractors.
HybridCore alone has about 20 postfire rebuilds underway in Santa Rosa's devastated Coffey Park neighborhood and the Larkfield community just to the north, according to Matt Hernandez, director of operations. The company contracts with factories in Sacramento, Woodland and Corona operated by Clayton Homes, a Berkshire Hathaway company. Those plants operate six day a week, rain or shine.


Selling space is defined as the trading floor area of a store which excludes stockroom and administration areas.
NEXT defines like for like stores as those that have traded for at least one full year and have not benefited from significant capital expenditure. Sales from these stores for the current year are then compared with the same period in the previous year to calculate like for like sales figures. Underlying like for like sales applies the same calculation but excludes stores impacted by new store openings.
Gross margin is the difference between the cost of stock and the initial selling price; achieved gross margin is after markdown and stock related costs. Net operating margin is profit after deducting markdowns and all direct and indirect trading costs. All are expressed as a percentage of achieved VAT exclusive sales.
Active customers are defined as those who have placed an order or made a payment in the last 20 weeks, calculated as a weighted average of each week's figure. Credit customers are those who order using a Directory credit account, whereas cash customers are those who pay when ordering. Average sales per customer are calculated as VAT exclusive sales, including service charge, divided by the average number of active customers.
Total cost of shares purchased includes stamp duty and associated costs. The average price before costs was £47.40 (2013: £31.92).
