By a church having multiple congregations or campuses, I am referring to the "multisite model," where the church operates as one church yet is localized in different communities. Typically this means one governance, one name, one budget, one programming philosophy, one teaching team, etc. Often, but not always, video teaching is utilized at least some of the time. The "multisite approach" has grown significantly over the last fifteen years.
Every church should be focused on their surrounding community, and any church that believes and applies the gospel will be. However, when a "multi-site campus" is launched, it is typically launched with the missional goal of loving and serving a specific community. People who are united around a mission are better prepared to handle disappointments, change, and pain.


I have recently completed a series of prints for my solo show in the Greer Museum at the University of Rio Grande. The matrices for these prints were all made using the new laser engraver purchased for the WVU Printmaking Program. This new series dramatically expands on the work I started a year or two ago alphabetizing talk bubbles as a way to challenge our notions of meaning.

A new Apple iPhone always creates a massive amount of attention and the launch of the iPhone 5 last week was no exception. The phone received a lot of initial praise, not only for the hardware but also the new mobile operating system, iOS 6. However Apple seems to have hit rather a barrage of criticism since with various problems being widely reported. Today we want to let you know about how the iPhone 5 is now spreading in availability to more countries while at the same time Apple CEO Tim Cook has issued an apology regarding the new Apple Maps app problem.
We've already detailed some of the many problems about the iPhone 5 and recently rounded them up here. Despite these issues though the iPhone 5 is still selling in phenomenal numbers and yesterday the iPhone 5 was launched in 22 more countries around the world. It first began selling on September 21 in many regions such as the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong and elsewhere and the second wave of releases became available yesterday, September 28.
The new countries to see the launch of the iPhone 5 are, in alphabetical order — "Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland," as detailed by eWeek. Five million iPhone 5s were sold over the first weekend on sale and Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said that between 2 and 3 million more have already been reserved for the second stage of release.
We don't imagine that those people who have already pre-ordered their iPhone 5 in the new wave of countries to see the launch will be put off by some of the problems that have arisen with it. It may of course put off some people who were still thinking about making a purchase though and maybe that's why Tim Cook, Apple CEO, issued a statement yesterday with a pretty heartfelt apology about the new Apple Maps app that came with iOS 6. Among the other iPhone 5 problems have been build problems, issues with Siri, WiFi and more but by far the aspect receiving the most condemnation was the Maps app that replaced Google Maps.
We'd like to hear from readers about this. Are you in a country seeing a second wave release and are you intending to purchase the iPhone 5? Maybe some of the problems noted with it have put you off? If you already have the iPhone 5 what do you feel about Apple's apology over the Maps app? Are you ready to forgive and forget or maybe you think Apple should do better? Let us have your comments on this.
I would like to know what plan does Apple have in place to fix this problem especially for consumers that have already purchased the phone. Thank You!!
I haven't had a problem with maps. Haven't had a problem with anything really. The iphone 5 is so dang fast on the internet that I save enough time to use a paper map if I need to. I think people need to relax. Apps get updated all the time on iTunes. So what if it takes a few more weeks to iron out all the kinks… The phone is still really nice. I upgraded from a 4s, and now I use the 4s for a doorstop. The 5 is a much better product. I don't have any apple stock, but I'm rethinking that each time I turn on my phone.
techradar just did a battery test and i-p5 fell behind s2 ,s3,note 1,htc one x, motorola and soon the note 2. benchmark test it fell behind s3 to wich did 1783 on geekbench.
it really has fallen behind in many aspects and now the stability of ios6 is on question something apple used to be very proud of.
I've my upgrade my iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 on the 21 September, I don't have any problems wit my phone not even wit the map… It's a lovely phone.. I think ppl have der opinion on things.. All of u ppl who don't like the iPhone 5 shud go and get a different fone n stop cuss apple and there phones.. Because apple will always be apple so dnt be a hater….
Reading what you wrote made my head hurt and I love apple's products.
Who writes these things? I read the same article but with respect to apple and its magnifiacent ability to produce a product that is unique to any product on the market.
By the way it took google 4 years to perfection , google maps.
You can download it back onto your phone through the apps store.
I love these idiotic people who never use maps, and then complain about it. Then you have thoose that never bought an iphone in there life. The trolls always come out at launches and complain. Go use your crapoid droid whose plastic will fall apart then.

The entire loop is approximately 4 miles, winding past shopping centers, the post office, municipal buildings and more. This fun path is great for walking, jogging, pushing a stroller or walking a dog provided they are on a leash. The sidewalk is illuminated for night time enjoyment as well.

What Is This Thing Called Love? by Gene Wilder
By Kevin Holtsberry
My review of Gene Wilder's last book, The Woman Who Wouldn't, had this assertion:
I don't think Wilder is seeking to be a great writer or hone his craft in some academic or literary way. Rather, I think he enjoys telling stories of a certain kind. He isn't doing this to get rich or famous but because he enjoys it.
His latest release, What Is This Thing Called Love?, reflects this I think. And my reaction to this collection of stories was similar to my reaction to his novels.
The stories touch on the idiosyncrasies of love; falling in love, longing for love, seeking love, etc.. Wilder often paints men as desperate for love and companionship but on occasion too dumb and selfish to see it for what it is. But he is also a romantic and understands that love breaks through and strikes when we often least expect it.
The stories are not particularly deep or literary but they have a lightness and a tragicomic sense that comes from Wilder and makes them worth reading.
From my perspective Kirkus Reviews best captured the collection's oddly entertaining style:
Another slim volume that should amuse the actor's fans. There is no answer to the question posed by the title of this collection of stories by Wilder (The Woman Who Wouldn't, 2008, etc.). In fact, many of the narrators seem more confused in the aftermath of their romantic misadventures than they had been in the beginning. But, as one of the pair of young lovers suggests in "In Love for the First Time," "If you always knew the 'why' about such things, the meaning of life wouldn't be such a mystery." In this particular story, an exceedingly shy boy and the more assertive object of his desire, herself a virgin, eventually make love-somehow. And that's pretty much it. In three of the 12 stories, the protagonist is the hapless Buddy Silberman (to whom Wilder dedicates the collection as his cousin, "who really wanted love, but settled only for sex"), bumbling his way through various seductions and receiving a big surprise with the punch-line revelation of "The Hollywood Producer." Many of these stories play out like elaborate jokes, often with a bittersweet tinge to the humor, or extended vignettes. Within them, love typically seems like a byproduct of biological urges, a matter of chance rather than destiny. "The Kiss" concerns two young actors at the Milwaukee Community Theater, with the 17-year-old girl asking her 24-year-old co-star "why they couldn't go to his house and touch each other and see each other's naked bodies." When he says that she's too young, she switches her affection to someone younger and runs off with him. True love prevails, or at least what passes for it in these stories. Wilder writes in his prelude that he hopes these stories "might give you a little pleasure and alaugh." They should.

My work is about people who loved very quietly, and would have been embarrassed even to use the word, so I like the phrase "what passes for it" in this review.
We could use more questioning along those lines, I think.

Putting his dramatic skills to work: Paul Babiak, convocation head marshal (video)
"If you do something really well and you love doing it and you know that it has a purpose," it becomes a mission, says Convocation head marshal Paul Babiak (photo by Nick Iwanyshyn)
Thousands of graduating students take part in convocation ceremonies at the University of Toronto every spring and fall – and hundreds of staff and faculty work to make sure the day is memorable.
One of them is Paul Babiak, head marshal.
"I think you can have a vocation for this kind of thing," says Babiak, who has been a key figure at convocation since 2003.
A performer by training, he teaches acting, voice, movement, and stage combat – and brings a theatrical flair to the task of guiding students through the pageantry of their big day.
"If you do something really well and you love doing it and you know that it has a purpose," it becomes a mission, Babiak says.
"And, in a way, convocations are my mission."

Paperless is the wave of our future!
You may have already experienced our service tech's in your home with their paperless technology in action and soon it will be across the entire field staff and office. It's almost 2012 and the future is now.


Hi folks This is my first post, nice to meet y'all.
I'd really like some constructive criticism (hope I'm posting in the right place).
Is the logic ok? Any potential problems?
Sorry, my roundabout way of saying "it might help if you stated what the script is supposed to do"
Iterate over parameters, check if process is owned by root, if not kill it.
identify all non root owned processes by PID ?
then just pipe the returned PID list to "killall -9" .. just a thought.
But I'll let you test it on your system .. .
That kills all processes except the one specified as the argument!


The big one is finally here on Tuesday at 3.05pm the Melbourne Cup field will fly out of the barriers on their way to Melbourne Cup Glory. This year's edition in my eyes is the best Melbourne Cup field to start in the modern era with more than 10 group 1 winners as well as the previous top 2 in the 2010 and 2011 cups starting. The powerful French have the two favourites Americain and Dunaden the 2010 and 2011 winners. Australia's main chances come from Ethiopia, Maluckyday, Lights of Heaven and Zabeelioniare. Now we take a look at the field.
Last year's cup winner trying to defend his title here. He keeps impressing after a dominant win in the Caulfield Cup coming from well back to beat Alcopop who later has won the MacKinnon stakes. He is the favourite and looks hardest to beat if any concerns is the 59kgs and barrier 16, In my opinion though I don't think either will hinder his chances. Be right in the finish winning chance.
2010 winner lining up for his, 3rd start in the race. Arguably should have won last year and is racing as good as ever running 2nd BMW in Sydney back in April and 4th Caulfield Cup after a wide run. He's run in the Caulfield Cup was just the indicator that he'll lap up the 3200m and will be featuring in the top half of the field winning hope and deserved favourite.
Another international lining up for his, 2nd Australian race start. Form overseas was good without being excellent has been beaten though by Dunaden 3 times and his run in the Caulfield Cup when 13th was a little disappointing the horse will improve from the run as to my eye he wasn't fully wound up for the Caulfield Cup. This has been his target all along and you could do worse at 40-1 one you could include the trifectas. Lacks the class to win though.
Nosed out in the closest finish in the Melbourne Cup's history when 2nd comes back this year hoping to go one better. Form has been great this time around and only rises 2kgs for a 2nd in this race last year since then has run 3rd in Hong Kong Vase and 2nd Coronation Cup. Also won the Yorkshire Cup in May. Settled in at Werribee Training Centre well by all reports and Ed Dunlop should have him peaking, Only query is the barrier could be trapped wide for the trip though still is a top chance.
Australian Trained import who has been just fair of late. Finished off ok in the Caulfield Cup when 9th and was good late in the MacKinnon Stakes when 6th. Barrier is a concern in 22 and could be forced wide the trip not making him able to sprint to his full ability. Jamie Mott takes his 1st ride in the Cup here and the horse is a likely top ten finisher.
Former Italian galloper having his 5th run here. Form before the Caulfield Cup was solid when 2nd Underwood Stakes and 4th Turnbull but he put in a shocker in the Caulfield Cup when on the speed before dropping out in the straight to finish Last beaten 17 lengths. On that he is one horse you can't see running in the top 10. He is one horse you can rule out.
Godolphin runner here who has first start in Australia. Form overseas has been hard to line up ran 9th Sheema Classic in Dubai behind Jakkalberry back in March. Has been okay since then winning the Esher Stakes in the UK. He's a much travelled galloper so the new environment shouldn't trouble him too much and Goldolphin have a good top 10 record in the Cup without winning one. Can finish in top half of the field here , One of the better roughies.
Creates a lot of interest here. Only had 3 starts for Luca Cumani and has won each time. Well weighted to win this and distance shouldn't be a query. Has an excellent turn of foot and has apparently settled in at Werribee well. Query's if any hasn't raced in 3 months and huge question mark over the horses his been beating. For me I think he's a bit under the odd's at the$8 mark though he's trainer is a maestro producing 2 horses to run 2nd in this race. Can finish in the top 5.
Former United States Group 1 winner now in the care of the Cups King. Form has been very disappointing though did improve in the Caulfield Cup when 10th with limited luck in saying that I cant see him running in the top 5 here at 60-1 who could pick up $100,000 and run 10th.
An Australian bred galloper having only his 8th run in the Cup, he won the AJC Derby at his 4th start when coming from last place. He runs this time have all been good especially last start when stuck on after going forward in a high quality Cox Plate to run 4th. He is one of the best local chances with Australians set to plunge on this horse he could easily be backed into 2nd favourite. Trained at Mornington by Pat Carey , He'll be the horse I'll be cheering for and is a definite threat could look the winner at some stage.
Another import making his Australian debut here. Interesting that he starts in the Melbourne Cup as I thought he was bought for next year's cup. He'll be up on the pace trying to run them ragged. Has beaten Red Cadeaux 2 starts back . If the rain comes you have to include him. Top 10 chance.
Interesting runner here who brings both flat and jumps form to the cup. Trainer has won this race twice before back in 1993 With Vintage Crop and 2002 with Media Puzzle. Won his last 2 races quite comfortably and is one of the many hopes in this open Melbourne Cup. Each-Way chance.
Former imported galloper who won his first four starts in Australia before flopping in the Caulfield Cup. Tommy Berry goes back on after losing the ride to Jim Cassidy in the Caulfield Cup. He will take up the front running position here I would assume and quickly drop out in the straight to be finishing about 17th he's one horse I can't make a case for.
Gifted stayer who is one of the best local hopes. Last run was really good when 5th in the Geelong Cup running his last 200m in 10.30's in a sit and sprint race which he was never going to win. Ran 2nd in this race back in 2010 and with a bit more luck could have possibly won. He's another who can win this and sneaks into my top 4 a must have for Melbourne Cup bets.
Mourayan is a tough import who lines up in his first cup after being scratched last year. Hasn't raced since October when a winner of the Craven Plate in Sydney. Loves this track winning the Bart Cummings here last year and ran 2nd MacKinnon Stakes last year. His form this year has been good running 4th, 2nd and 1st in WFA races over 1600m to 2000m. Will roll forward and give a sight be in this for a long way respect.
Import who ran well on the speed in the Caulfield Cup. Should be suited by the longer trip here and is yet another horse who can win the race been well backed to. Has to be in trifectas and first 4's.
Ran favourite in last year's cup after a dominant win in the Lexus on the Saturday since then has won a Sydney Cup and been close up in a BMW when 5th. He will run the trip out and at 80-1 is not the worst can run in the top 10.
French stayer who wasn't suited by the slow tempo in the Geelong Cup, when left flat-footed. Defeated Herbert Power winner Shahwardi before that and will run the trip only query is will he run it fast enough I doubt it we'll be in the bottom half in the field.
Honest mare lining up for her first start at the distance. Was good in the Caulfield Cup when 3rd closing late. Her claim to fame is 2 wins at the elite level the Brisbane Cup and South Australian Oaks. Can run in the top 5, Been well backed also about $26 into $19 for Tuesday will be there chasing hard.
7yo Zabeel gelding lining up for his 3rd Melbourne Cup start. Over-Raced in this race last year after racing on the speed when on the speed before weakening to 11th. Form since then has been good in the weaker races and fair in races like the JRA Cup , Sydney Cup and MV Cup. He's form just isn't good enough to even run in the top 12 , put him in sweeps for last.
9 year-old Stallion who lines up for his 2nd Melbourne Cup start. Still hasn't placed in Australia though his run in this race was good last year when 8th, He deserves the outside rank at 200-1 but you could do a lot worse if you end with this horse in the sweep, at 200-1 he can run past 14th.
4 year-old Stallion who is a very promising stayer. He wasn't beaten far in the Caulfield Cup though had a cosy run along the inside and got everything he's way form barrier 1. In the cup he's drawn out and has to do a lot of work from behind. However, in saying that he's got no weight and a lot of talent and many horses in recent times have ran well after racing on the Saturday. One horse you have to consider for the multiples and first 4's.
Racing really well after coming from England and booked his ticket with a tough win on Saturday in the Lexus. Before that had ran 2nd to Glencadam Gold in the Metropolitan. Winners of the Lexus/Saab Quality have ran well incredibly well in the cup lately with Shocking winning it back in 09. With 51kgs on his back and 3 time Melbourne Cup winning jockey in Glen Boss he has to be around the mark. One query is he's class if it were 2007 he'd be a serious chance but this is the best Melbourne Cup quality wise I've ever seen assembled and is only a place chance to my eye.
What a race it should be when they hit the track at 3.05pm but now the tips you've all been waiting for.

A Strong Signal From The Economic Dashboard
We've been seeing more and more commentaries discussing bad stuff that can happen when the Fed tightens policy and, as a result, the yield curve flattens. (See, for example, this piece from Citi Research and ZeroHedge.) No doubt, the Fed's rate hikes will lead to mishaps as they usually do—in both markets and the economy. But most forecasters expect the economy to expand through next year, believing that the Fed and the yield curve aren't yet restrictive enough to trigger a recession.
We won't make a full-year 2018 forecast here, but we'll share one of our "dashboard" charts that supports the consensus view for at least the first half of the year. With one methodological change to a chart we published in August, we'll look at the following indicators, which together have an excellent track record predicting the business cycle:
The idea is that the economy tends to turn over when investors lose money, borrowers find it hard to obtain financing, business earnings weaken, and banks struggle with a flat or inverted yield curve. Here's a history of all four of those indicators in the quarter before and the quarter of the last nine business cycle peaks, although with less data for lending standards, which the Fed began surveying for the first time in mid-1990:
With that history as our background (in charcoal gray), our dashboard highlights the most recent data, along with our fourth quarter estimates for asset price gains and S&P 500 earnings growth:
In our view, the above chart is the best way to judge recession risks—with a strong reminder of how current conditions compare to the conditions that shaped past business cycles. That comparison looks favorable as of mid-December, just as it did in August. Here are our takeaways, moving from right to left along the chart:
Although the yield curve is likely to become more recessionary as the Fed continues to tighten, it's not yet as flat or inverted as it normally is at business cycle peaks.
Business earnings aren't yet recessionary, either, although gains over the last four quarters reflect depressed earnings in 2015 and 2016, which isn't quite as bullish a signal as it would be if earnings had risen consistently over that period.
Outside of the commercial real estate sector, lending conditions aren't constraining borrowing growth, and even CRE lending conditions aren't restrictive when compared to the last three business cycle peaks.
Asset gains have been stellar over the past four quarters, far above the flat or declining performance that nearly always precedes business cycle peaks.
We think the last point is the most convincing. Of all the "rules" in economics, the rule that asset prices lead the business cycle is as reliable as any, and they're a long way from recessionary as of this writing. In fact, if Q4's gains match the average gains over the past four quarters, real asset gains for 2017 will reach 25% of personal income. That's three months of personal income from asset gains alone—hardly an environment where households stop spending and the economy slips into recession.
But eventually, monetary tightening will have greater effects, and the outsized asset gains of recent years will become more burden than boon. That's notwithstanding Janet Yellen's FOMC press conference on Wednesday, where she downplayed risks posed by soaring asset prices. Yellen's parting words are certainly welcoming of debate, and we recommend the responses here and here, as well as this recent report from the Office for Financial Research. But for this article, we'll just couple our bullish economic view for H1 2018 with a chart we first shared last week:
Although the chart includes only seven business cycles to keep it readable, the full history shows asset gains, adjusted for inflation, jumping above those of any other cycle since the Fed began recording gains in 1947. It paints a bigger picture behind the "virtuous" loop that's currently fueling the economy and thus far impervious to the Fed's snail-pace tightening. And we think it describes the greatest challenge Yellen's successor will face, although not an immediate challenge. In our view, the tightening we've seen to date is still too new and too tepid to threaten the usual damage, especially with the dashboard readings above and with fiscal policy set to loosen. But further out, we suggest trusting the history of how long-running virtuous loops normally unwind.

CFA Student Profiles: Mark McCloughan '10
March 29, 2011 November 24, 2009 by ptatge
What follows is the second in a series of profiles of Wesleyan students by Alexandra Provo, '10, the CFA's Arts Administration Intern. These students all have one thing in common: they became deeply engaged with one or more artists presented by the CFA. Sparked by the artist's workshop, performance or exhibition on campus, they began a lasting relationship that affected the trajectory of their academic exploration. We hope you will send us your comments about these and future interviews.
Last week, after the Eiko and Koma opening reception, I sat down with Mark McCloughan '10, a senior double majoring in Theater and SISP (the Science in Society Program) who has been working with Eiko and Koma as an assistant and archivist since last spring, to find out more about the character of his relationship with the artists and how it developed.
How did you first hear about Eiko and Koma?
I didn't really know who they were—at all—and then I saw Eiko's class [Japan and the Atomic Bomb] on WesMaps when we were freshman, and I just remember thinking it sounded so weird and cool. I was attracted to the inter-disciplinarity. I was really lucky to get one of the four spots for freshmen the first year—I didn't realize how big of a deal it was until the first class when there were something like 75 people who weren't registered trying to get in. Over the course of the class I started realizing [Eiko] was a working artist, but it still didn't really hit me until maybe last spring when I started working for them and looking at their archives, seeing the work they've done over almost forty years.
Are there specific aspects of the course that you feel affected you the most?
I always find it sort of difficult to talk about the movement and the course because it's so encompassing of many things…first of all I think the courses [Delicious Movements and Japan and the Atomic Bomb] are important because both are truly inter-disciplinary. For me that was a big realization—that the arts can be really rigorous and very productive, not in a purely aesthetic sense but also productive of real knowledge.
Definitely, I agree. So you were in the courses; how did your relationship develop further?
Last spring they were beginning to speak with Sam Miller '75 and conceptualize [the Retrospective Project], and it just so happened that they were trying to pull together their archives, a lot of which are at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. They had all these photos and stuff there that no one had really organized, so Eiko asked me if I was going to be home—because I'm from Minneapolis—over spring break. I was, so I spent three or four days there. Organizationally it was crazy but also it was amazing to begin to get a sense of their whole career. All these photos of pieces; pieces I had never seen or really heard about…to get a sense of the chronological progression [of their work] was really illuminating for me as someone who is really into the movement, because you can begin to see where some of the exercises come from, or you can see them exploring some of the stuff Eiko helps us explore in class. That led to an internship there last summer.
How do you feel your contact with them has informed your own practice as an artist?
It's been pretty hugely influential, I would say. The big thing that I love about Delicious Movements is that nothing is right and nothing is wrong. I think it taught me how to just do and not worry…it's been very freeing.
Can you tell me some of the things you've been doing? Some of your projects here or elsewhere?
Me and Miles Tokunow '10 were in the class together as freshmen and both got into the movement—I remember we moved a lot together in class—and then the next fall we did a piece together called Falling, that was on Foss Hill [yeah, I remember I saw that, it was cool]. I'm also one of the founders of No Face Theater. We work collaboratively, so without a director—everyone has an equal voice, which is…it's horrible and also wonderful. But going back to Eiko and Koma, they work in that way, they negotiate the piece together…it's neither one of their visions; it's something that happens because they're working together and there's all this tension and disagreement and negotiation.
Actually, Miles and I are working on another dance for the spring. So that partnership has been ongoing. I'm really excited about that one.
Could you say, in a sentence or so, a lesson or insight that you've taken away from working with Eiko and Koma?
There are so many…I'd say that I've learned to be in the present moment in my body, which has been really helpful for me as a performer. I feel like since I've met Eiko and worked with her and Koma my focus in performing has changed. Now I'm really interested in the body…not just as a vehicle for representing a character but the body as a thing.
How much has this been a factor in your Wesleyan experience?
It's pretty much changed my life. Working with Eiko, I feel much more sure that what I want to do is going to be what I really want to do, it's going to be mine…that sounds so possessive. It's given me a confidence to figure out a path that's what I really want.

Discovering The Skriker and The Eiko and Koma Retrospective Project
I've just wandered over to the CFA Theater where the Theater Department is preparing to open THE SKRIKER, by Caryl Churchill. Some of you may remember the department's call to campus and community members for donations of items from attics & garages: the setting for the play is entirely created from found materials. Old toys, garbage bags, wood remnants, furniture and "stuff" of all kinds fill over half of the seating area. The audience sits on the stage–facing out: are we being asked to reflect back on ourselves and our trash? Robert Bresnick, the play's director, describes the work as a cautionary tale–a confrontation of our relationship to the environment. As Bresnick said, "The piece remembers a time we took solace in nature…'nobody loves me but the sun is still shining.' But in the world of this play, the sun burns and there is no refuge.'" The story centers around two women: one pregnant and one who has committed infanticide. They are haunted by the Skriker, an earth spirit whom Churchill refers to as "ancient and damaged." They are joined onstage by a shape-shifting bunch of earth spirits, extraordinary puppets by Leslie Weinberg (many of you will remember her puppets from Don Quixote and her masks from Oedipus Rex.) Sound design is by California-based Marco Schindelmann and Michael Raco-Rands and lighting is by Professor John Carr (who also co-designed the set with Weinberg.)
And downstairs from my office, the Zilkha Gallery has become a laboratory for the Eiko and Koma Retrospective. The experiment? How do you create a visual installation about the artistic legacy of performing artists whose work is time-based and often site-specific? As Eiko puts it, "What does it mean for living, active performing artists to have a retrospective? Is putting our heads into a creative closet a creative thing, or a nostalgic thing?" Working with a team of student assistants, many of whom have studied with Eiko at some point over the last four years, Eiko and Koma are creating mini-environments that allow audiences to contemplate their artistic values and inspiration. These are presented alongside video installations and a visual timeline of photographs that date back to when they first met in Japan. It's amazing to see their faces and bodies when they were in their twenties just beginning to develop their movement vocabulary. You may remember their first performance at Wesleyan in the Zilkha Gallery in the summer of 2002 when they presented Offering, their 9/11 a work about mourning; in 2006, they brought Cambodian Stories, their masterwork performed alongside young people from the Reyum Art Center in Phnom Phen; in the summer of 2007, Quartet and Grain. What you may not know, is that Eiko and Koma have sent both of their sons to Wesleyan! Yuta graduated in '07, and Shin graduates in '10.
The Retrospective opens this Thursday, November 19 from 5-7pm, with a performance at 5:30pm followed by a reception. Eiko and Koma will be working on the installation over the course of the next month, so feel free to come by and see how the exhibit evolves. The Retrospective will have future iterations at Danspace Project in New York, the Walker Arts Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
The Skriker, by Caryl Churchill will be performed at the CFA Theater, November 18-22
Eiko & Koma: Time is not Even, Space is not Empty will be at the Zilkha Gallery, November 19-December 20
Rhodessa and Noah
There are some people whose stage presence literally reaches out into the audience and grabs you, shakes you up and makes you listen. Rhodessa Jones is one of those people. She just arrived in Middletown today and will be here for several days hosted by the Outside the Box Theater Series, a series developed by the CFA and Theater Department. The idea to bring Rhodessa came from Sonia Manjon, Vice President of Diversity and Strategic Partnerships at Wesleyan, and Ron Jenkins, Professor of Theater, who is teaching a service-learning course that takes theater students to develop works with incarcerated women at the York Correctional Institution. Sonia and our President Michael Roth have both worked with Rhodessa when they were at the California College of the Arts, and Michael's history with her dates back to his years at the Getty Research Institute.
Rhodessa has received numerous awards for her work, The Medea Project: Theater for Incarcerated Women, a performance workshop that is designed to achieve personal and social transformation with incarcerated women. While she is on campus this week, she'll be working with Ron's students, as well as visiting theater classes and giving a workshop for teachers at the Green Street Arts Center. I hope you'll take the opportunity to see this extraordinary artist live this Thursday night at Crowell. She'll be performing excerpts from The Medea Project as well as segments from other highly acclaimed works including Big Butt Girls, Hard-Headed Women and The Love Project. (And p.s.: Rhodessa's brother is trailblazing choreographer Bill T. Jones, who had a major residency at the CFA in the Fall of 2006).
I met with Noah Baerman in my office last week just as he was leaving for New York for the final rehearsal for his concert this Friday, Know Thyself. Some of you may know Noah through the many roles he plays in life: composer, jazz piano player, writer, professor, husband (to Kate TenEyck, the CFA's Art Studios Technician) and father to three foster daughters. On any given week you can find Noah directing the Wesleyan Jazz Ensemble, traveling to New York for a gig at the Jazz Gallery, donating his services by playing for a local benefit, or attending parent/teacher conferences at Middletown High School. As the story goes: "I was in the kitchen just having pledged to myself after a year of being exhausted by all sorts of family happenings, that I would take a year off to just center myself again, when I got the call from Chamber Music America." The Noah Baerman Trio had received one of only sixteen awards given out across the country to commission jazz ensembles to create a new work. What is unique about the grant is that it not only supports the composer's time, but it also pays for their musicians to spend time on the development of the work.
"I tend to be a really visceral musician and come at my music from an emotional rather than an intellectual or conceptual place," Noah said as his eyes got wider and his hands began to fly. "The work that I'll be premiering next week is about the quest for self-knowledge…all of the facets of the exploration that goes into a journey of self-discovery. I hope that it is highly universal, but also know that it is deeply personal. Making the work forced me to organize my thoughts and make peace with certain parts of my past. It's the most musically ambitious work I've ever created and I'm so fortunate that I can debut it at Wesleyan where I feel the support of my community and the trust of my ensemble."
Like Ellington and Mingus did before him, Noah writes for the individual members of his ensemble in mind. "There was this great moment last week when we were coming to an explosive moment in the piece where Wayne Escoffery (who plays sax) has to take off. I heard him play this section and I thought to myself 'yes, yes, that's why you are playing this piece.'" Noah's ensemble also includes vibrophonist Chris Dingman, class of 2002 and former student of Jay Hoggard.
The moment he knew he wanted to be a musician? Watching Stevie Wonder play Superstition on Sesame Street when he was five: "It was my introduction to soulful music….All these years later, I'm still on a quest to create jazz works that have that kind of emotional directness."

A CFA Intern Returns
March 29, 2011 November 3, 2009 by ptatge
Amy Crawford '05 was a government major who sang…actually, she didn't realize she could sing until senior year. She was a keyboardist in the Jazz Orchestra, and music faculty member Jay Hoggard invited her to take the mic. She returns to Wesleyan this Saturday to perform an evening of her original music at Crowell Concert Hall.
We at the CFA are particularly excited about the concert because Amy was the first Center for the Arts "Arts Administration Intern." Not only that, she stayed on after graduation to serve as the project coordinator for the town-wide event, Middletown Dances! In her first two years after graduating, she put together a life for herself that included arts administration jobs during the day and gigs as a jazz singer by night. Then she took the job of Education Coordinator for the Grammy award-winning, Brooklyn Youth Chorus Academy. The chorus received an invitation to perform with Elton John, and that's when everything changed: "I found myself preparing the children to sing this music that I had listened to when I was in high school…it was melodic and powerful. We ended up at a rehearsal on a Sony soundstage and I felt the energy of Elton and his band combined with the voices of these children, and I realized this was an energy I wanted to be a part of." So after the sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden, she set about writing her own songs. Her influences are the Beatles, Dido, Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Stevie Wonder and Jon Brion. And today, after spending some time at the Berklee School of Music, she has officially made the transition from jazz singer to a more contemporary popular sound. I can tell you she has a beautiful, clear voice. Her sound is upbeat and polished with a vintage sheen.
In addition to working with her own band, most recently she has been touring the country with the band, DeLeon, playing keyboards, singing and co-writing songs with them. The band has opened for Ozomatli, Mike Gordon and Os Mutantes.
She talked about what was most important about her time at Wesleyan: "I discovered how much I cared about the arts… The enormous flexibility of the school… I was extremely indecisive during my time there, but I had the ability to explore what I wanted to explore. The idea that I was a government major but I was still able to do a senior recital was amazing. I can't wait to be back on campus!"
And I can't wait to see her.

Saturday November 7 at 8pm in Crowell Concert Hall

I won't bore you with the cold reading details, suffice to say they were pretty standard. "An Older Man? Your Father? He loves you. He had a nice smile." He went into histrionics and said that her father had had trouble breathing when he died. How vague and necessarily true. He said there were connections in Boston or NY, which really implies the whole northeast, which is how much of the population of the US? She didn't seem to know specifically what it was referring to nonetheless.

BY STEPHEN POLLOCK AND DAVID MADDOX
SETH BONDER, a respected, admired, and valuable member of the operations research community, died in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on October 29, 2011, at the age of 79. He served many roles—exemplary analyst, innovative applied researcher, entrepreneur, educator, philanthropist, mentor, and critical advocate for his profession.
Seth Bonder was born in the Bronx, New York, in 1932. His parents had immigrated from Russia and worked in the garment district. By his own admission, Seth took little interest in education during his youth and did not do well academically. Instead, he became an accomplished pool, billiards, and basketball player in the South Bronx streets.
He enrolled in the City College of New York to play basketball, but left soon after as an innocent victim of its 1951 point-shaving scandal. After driving a truck in New York for a while, he enlisted in the Air Force and took advantage of a program that allowed enlisted men to apply to flying school. He received his commission and served as a pilot in the Air Force from 1952 through 1956.
During his service it became clear that a college degree would be necessary if he were to have a meaningful career, so he left the Air Force and entered the University of Maryland in 1957. After a rocky start, he excelled academically and showed his entrepreneurial leanings by starting a freshman tutoring service, creating and participating in a flying club, and driving a taxicab at night in the District of Columbia and Prince Georges County, Maryland.
Upon obtaining a degree in mechanical engineering from Maryland in 1960, and after a short stint at the Westinghouse Air Arm Division in Baltimore, Seth Bonder enrolled at the Ohio State University as its first systems fellow. He was introduced to military operations research via a project meant to determine requirements for new armored systems.
He identified two unresolved problems that he referred toas "interesting": determining the feasibility of the requirements (could the system actually be built?) and the operational effectiveness of the system (would the resulting system be of any value?). He wrote a proposal to study these questions and—as a graduate student—landed a contract to run a multiyear research program in which he was responsible for the work product of both faculty and graduate students. He received his PhD in industrial engineering (operations research) from Ohio State in 1965.
From 1965 through 1972, as a faculty member in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Michigan, Seth Bonder developed the capabilities and processes required of an operations analyst and created unique ways to teach and mentor these analysts. Throughout the rest of his professional career he was an adjunct professor at Michigan— something of which he was exceedingly proud (except for exactly one day during each football season).
In 1972, at the urging of the Army's assistant vice chief of staff, Seth Bonder founded, and then headed for the next 32 years, Vector Research, Inc. (VRI), an operations research consulting firm. VRI grew over the next three decades to eventually employ over 400 professionals in Ann Arbor, Texas, and Washington, DC. Seth and his colleagues at VRI developed a variety of novel mathematical models to represent military operations and—most important to him—used the insights from these models to inform decision making about national security issues at the highest levels. In 1990, he received the Award for Patriotic Civilian Service from the Secretary of the Army.
From 1995 through 2001 Seth Bonder led VRI in a successful effort to convince private firms, as well as federal and state agencies, to invest in operational and systems engineering approaches to address increasingly critical problems inherent in the delivery of health care. In 2001 VRI was acquired by ERIM (the former Willow Run Laboratory) and the merged entity was renamed the Altarum Institute. While serving on Altarum's board of directors, Seth Bonder maintained his commitments to the profession and community. He founded the Bonder Group and contributed to, led, and participated in studies sponsored by the National Academies, serving on the NRC Board on Army Science and Technology as well as the Army Science Board and a variety of academic and healthcare boards, and provided consultant services to the Department of Defense up until his untimely death.
One critical hallmark of Seth Bonder's unique and far-reaching contributions to operations engineering was his insistence on addressing real problems using application-driven theoretical developments. In the national security domain, his friendships with decision makers reinforced this concern, and these provider-client interactions evolved into close professional and personal relationships based on mutual appreciation and respect for excellence and intellectual depth.
Seth Bonder's role as a mentor was an equally valuable and appreciated influence. His students at Michigan and associates at VRI formed a cadre of high-level analysts, populating the leadership and awardee lists of his profession and forming what can be reasonably called a virtual "Bonder School" of operational systems engineering. Seth Bonder's professional leadership and consequent recognition were extensive: he served as president of the Operations Research Society of America and vice president of the International Federation of Operations Research Societies.
He received the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) President's Award for service to society (2001), its Kimball Award for distinguished service to the society and to the profession of OR (1993), its Military Applications Society's Jacinto Steinhardt Memorial Prize (1999), and the Omega Rho Distinguished Lectureship (2004). He was a member of the Military Operations Research Society (MORS) board of directors, its vice president, and president. He received its Rist Prize for the best-implemented study presented at a MORS Symposium and was awarded its 1986 Vance R. Wanner Memorial Award for distinguished service to the profession.
Seth Bonder was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in 2000 and chaired the Industrial, Manufacturing, and Operational Systems Engineering Section. In that forum and other venues he campaigned for the recognition of operational systems engineering as the implementation component of operations research.
He was active in studies and programs of both the NAE and the Institute of Medicine, bringing to bear his experience and perspectives to problems in both defense and health care. He generously endowed fellowships at the Ohio State University and the University of Michigan and established and funded two INFORMS scholarship programs, for applied operations research in military applications and in health services.
In the last decade of his life, after leaving behind the pressures of running a multimillion-dollar enterprise, Seth Bonder found many ways to relax and enjoy life. He made time to appreciate foreign travel (not necessarily associated with visiting a military base or installation). He developed an appreciation for fine food and wines and devoted his legendary focus and undiluted passion for excellence to a well-designed program for physical fitness for himself and those around him. He was an excellent tennis player (his son Eric played tennis for Ohio State University and his daughter Lisa was a highly ranked professional).
More recently he took up golf and used his second home in Longboat Key, Florida, as a base from which he continued his consulting and enjoyed life with the same intensity and attention he had dedicated to his professional work.
Seth Bonder is survived by his wife Merrill, two children, Lisa and Eric, four grandchildren, two step-grandchildren, and hundreds of deeply saddened and appreciative friends and colleagues.

When you're developing an idea, a product or a service, you need to design it a way that people will use it intuitively to meet their needs; designing for the user. One of the reasons the iPhone revolutionised phones is how it understood the barrier that physical buttons were creating when texting and designed an experience based on our natural gestures. The same with Kinect which removed any need to touch the technology at all. Interaction design makes the experiences you have using technology more natural.
Interaction design is at the heart of different methods — from information architecture to visual design — looking at designing products or services that people want to use do the things you want them to do. It's modelling the behaviours that you use everyday and translating them into the design of services so that there is as little friction as possible in the transition between your offline and online behaviour. You're setting a stage for people to perform…but you can never tell them what to do.
From being able to see the footsteps of the friends who walked down the street an hour ago to enabling front line workers in the field to quickly share different types of content to provide intelligence, discover how interaction design is changing different parts of society.

Exclusion of North Koreans from the Mount Kumgang Tourism Project
The two leaders of the North and South reach the summit of Mount Baekdu together on September 20th. (Pyongyang Press Corps)
Although I have yet to make a visit, I am told that the sight of Mount Kumgang, located in the southeast region of North Korea, is truly breathtaking. Those who have had the fortune to visit the mountain say that the sight of crystal clear streams flowing through the rocks is spectacular. Along with Mount Baekdu, Mount Kumgang is a place that all South Koreans wish to visit before they die.
President Moon Jae-in, in the Pyongyang Joint Declaration, signed during his visit to Pyongyang, affirmed that tours of Mount Kumgang, which had been suspended since July of 2008 due to the fatal shooting of a South Korean tourist, would be resumed "as conditions mature." The tours are said to be aimed at increasing cooperation and exchanges between the two Koreas.
In November of 1998, during the Kim Dae-jung administration, South Korean tourists first began visiting Mount Kumgang. The tours began after Chung Ju-young, the head of the Hyundai Group, visited Pyongyang and gained approval from Kim Jong-il. Quickly, Mount Kumgang became a popular tourist destination among South Koreans and international tourists, attracting around 2 million people over a span of 10 years.
Aside from its popularity among tourists, the Mount Kumgang project was promoted as a symbol of inter-Korean reconciliation and cooperation during the Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun administrations. The land routes were well-maintained on the South Korean side and admission fees were affordable at around 100 USD for a day trip or 300 USD for a three day trip. However, in July of 2008, Park Wang-ja, a South Korean tourist in her 50s, was shot and killed by North Korean soldiers after wandering into a restricted area. This led to the eventual suspension of tours of Mount Kumgang.

Looks interesting, But Im very skeptical as to the claims they are making. There really is not enough information on the machine to decide if its legit or not. They say they will be putting out more information on their Kickstarter campaign so I guess we will see. If its for real I will defiantly be trying to get my hands on one!


Apple Pay may not be launching in India any time soon, but India is planning a major push to unify different payment mechanisms to create a cashless ecosystem in the country .
The National Payment Corporation of India, an organisation for all retail payments supported by India's largest banks, is building a single interface platform for all transactions. The umbrella organisation wants to create a unified backbone and a set of application programming interfaces for others to build payment solutions on, according to a draft proposal it released on Thursday .
"It's taking an interoperable platform approach to where Apple Pay went in a proprietary way ," said Pramod Varma, chief architect at the Unique Identification Authority of India.
The idea is to build a software layer over existing payment systems like credit or debit cards, electronic payments over banking platforms and mobile payment systems that third-party service providers can plug in and enable peer-to -peer transactions between virtual account holders.
"We are already connected to most banks in India and now we are talking about creating agility in payment systems," said N Rajendran, CTO, NPCI.
Users will be able to initiate transactions using smartphones, transfer money to virtualised accounts without having to remember account numbers or passwords. This platform will bring together financial institutions, merchants and other payment enablers like wallets and gateways.
If things go as planned, the NPCI is likely to run a pilot by mid 2015.
"The goal is noble but I'm not sure how efficient it is going to be if one entity is going to control the whole ecosystem," said a payment company executive, who requested anonymity .

It didn't take long for the versatile Caster robotic platform developed by RoboTech Vision to find its use. It is a mobile disinfection solution with a 500 W germicidal UVC lamp and a camera that uses AI to detect people in the environment and the robot then switches off the dangerous light. The solution protects staff from entering potentially dangerous areas and reduces the disinfection time.
Thanks to our cooperation with NOVO Techologies, a company focused on disinfection technologies, our Caster robot in combination with a UVC germicidal lamp has found a practical use as a disinfection solution. The robot was particularly suitable for this purpose because UVC technologies are used in indoor areas, for that the robot is mainly designed. The Caster is characterized by very good agility thanks to its maintenance-free drives and can rotate 180° on the spot.
Camera detects a person
Thanks to its large wheels, the robot is able to overcome obstacles such as door thresholds and its size allows it to pass through doors. Caster is also quiet and does not disturb its surroundings. The main advantage of a germicidal lamp on a robotic chassis is that the action radius of the lamp becomes movable, which reduces both disinfection time and electrical energy. The robot is thus energy-efficient and also features a high level of intelligence thanks to the AI elements.
With the help of AI, the robot detects the presence of a person in the 360° camera image and switches off dangerous light. The device is controlled remotely using a joystick and transmits a live view to the app via a Wifi network. The staff controlling the robot remotely therefore do not have to enter potentially dangerous areas. The robot can also be switched off remotely on site with the emergency stop button. The mobile disinfection solution is suitable for disinfecting hotels, passenger transport, warehouses and medical premises.
"We worked with RoboTech Vision on the development of new product, an indoor, teleoperative UVC disinfection robot. The company has developed a unique chassis with tremendous indoor mobility capabilities. They've also added state-of-the-art security features to recognize people using AI."

This year I continue to work with my teacher on playing the musical instruments. Since I'm currently a grade 12 student, so my lesson with the teacher has changed from Thursday to Sunday afternoon. I can completely focus on my academic work on weekday, which is really efficient way for me. After discussing with my teacher, I decided to attend the New Year Concert that organized by her in January. I'm going to choose two to three pieces to perform in the concert. I hope I can have an excellent performance in the New Year celebration.

Portfolio Estampas de Yucatan(Prints of the Yucatan), 1945 by Alfredo Zalce (1908-2003)
Estampas de Yucatan (Prints of the Yucatan), 1945
by Alfredo Zalce (1908-2003), Mexico
Printed by the Taller de Grafica Popular
Lithographs in buckram casing
Paper Size: 17 1/2" h x 15 1/8" w
Portfolio Size: 18 5/16" h x 15 15/16" w
Like many of his contemporaries, Alfredo Zalce expressed a deep interest in the varied indigenous and regional cultures of Mexico. The eight prints in theEstampas de Yucatán portfolio—which was successfully marketed in both Mexico and the United States—attest to his enduring fascination with contemporary Mayan culture following an extended trip in 1944 to the southeastern Mexican region of the Yucatán. Here he presented the Maya as a dignified and contained people existing in harmony with their environment. The prints focus on characteristic gestures and seemingly unchanged rituals of work, as well as on the area's lush and bountiful terrain, both imposing and sustaining in its presence. Such lyrical meditations on a provincial present and its connection to an idealized indigenous past correspond with the post-revolutionary conceptions of mexicanidad, the recognition of Mexican popular traditions and regional cultures.
The portfolio Estampas de Yucatan consists of eight lithographs, all signed and dated (1945) by Alfredo Zalce. They were printed by José Sanchez in the workshop of the Taller de Grafica Popular (Mexico D.F). The portfolio has a prologue in both Spanish and English written by renown French/Mexican artist Jean Charlot. The edition was limited to 100 portfolios. The prints are housed in the original purple buckram casing with the letterpress. The portfolio and each print has been cleaned and stabilized by Portland paper restoration expert Elizabeth Chambers.
Alfredo Zalce was born in Patzcuaro, in the state of Michoacan, on January 12, 1908. During his early years he became friends with Mexico's older great artists, including Rivera, Tamayo, Siquieros, Orozco, and Kahlo. He founded art schools and organizations which still function and are of current importance. When the President of Mexico last visited the Vatican, the one gift from Mexico chosen as a gift to the Pope was a small painting of a Mexican village painted by Maestro Alfredo Zalce.
Unlike other artists, Zalce has spent an entire lifetime avoiding fame and fortune. He simply wants to paint. His artistic versatility is partially demonstrated by his total mastery in producing art with oil, acrylic, batik, pencil, watercolor, engraving, serigraph, bronze, stone, ink, pastel, ceramic, monotype, and on and on. His art has been exhibited in every country of the free world, and his numerous gigantic murals and statues represent a vital part of Mexican history.

Q: Scanf repeats itself in C This is a simple program in which the user enters a series of numbers which are then added. The result is printed on the screen. Here's the code:
int main() {
int * numbers;
int result = 0;
int howMany;
int i;

printf("How many numbers would you like to add?\n");
scanf(" %d\n", &howMany);

numbers = (int *) malloc(howMany * sizeof(int));

for(i = 0; i < howMany; i++){
    printf("Please enter number %d.\n", i + 1);
    scanf(" %d\n", &numbers[i]);
    result = result + numbers [i];
}
printf("Result: %d", result);
return 0;
}

But there is a problem. The program asks for how many numbers the user would like to add twice for some reason. Why is that? How can I fix it?
Also, not sure if this is related but the results also make no sense. Sometimes they are correct, other times they aren't, not sure why either.
Thanks.

A:
The program asks for how many numbers the user would like to add twice for some reason. Why is that? How can I fix it?

Your program prompts me only once for how many numbers.  It does, however, defer asking for each specific number until after I enter it, and then it requires an extra non-blank line after the last (late) prompt before it outputs the result.

Also, not sure if this is related but the results also make no sense. Sometimes they are correct, other times they aren't, not sure why either.

It is related: the fact that the per-number prompts are late is confusing you about which numbers are being added.
This all comes down to your scanf() formats, as @Mark already remarked (albeit somewhat tersely).  Any nonempty run of whitespace, including newlines, in a scanf() format matches a possibly-empty run of whitespace.  When it is matching such a run, scanf() has to keep scanning until it sees a non-whitespace character.  Interactive input is line-buffered, however, so no new input is available to it until you send a whole new line.  Then the first non-whitespace character on that next line is ready and waiting for the following scanf().
scanf() can be quite tricky to use correctly, especially for interactive input.  It is best suited for fixed-format input.  You can do this with scanf() -- @Mark showed you how -- but the usual recommendation around here is to use fgets() to read input one line at a time, and sscanf() (or your choice of other mechanism) to parse each line.  Even that can be a challenge to make bullet-proof, but you start out on firmer footing.

A: Your problem was because of your erroneous placement of the newline characters in your printf and scanf functions.
Here is the code you are probably looking for:
int main() {
  int * numbers;
  int result = 0;
  int howMany;
  int i;

  printf("How many numbers would you like to add?: ");
  scanf("%d", &howMany);

  numbers = (int *) malloc(howMany * sizeof(int));

  for(i = 0; i < howMany; i++){
    printf("Please enter number %d: ", i + 1);
    scanf("%d", &numbers[i]);
    result = result + numbers [i];
  }
  printf("Result: %d\n", result);
  return 0;
}
