Q: Draw lines of mesh on SphereGeometry I try to draw lines of a THREE.mesh whose geometry is done with SphereGeometry and material with MeshBasicMaterial.
To achieve this, I have used the following snippet code:
    var segments = 32
    var geometry = new THREE.SphereGeometry(3, segments, segments, 0, Math.PI * 2, 0, Math.PI * 2);
      var material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({color: 0x900000});
      var sphere = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);

    scene.add(sphere);

This snippet doesn't produce the expected lines.
Instead of above code, I tried also to do:
var sphere = new THREE.Object3D();
  sphere.add( new THREE.LineSegments(

        new THREE.Geometry(),

        new THREE.LineBasicMaterial({
          color: 0xffffff,
        transparent: true,
        opacity: 0.5
        })

        ));

  sphere.add( new THREE.Mesh(

        new THREE.Geometry(),

        new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({
          color: 0x156289,
        emissive: 0x072534,
        side: THREE.DoubleSide,
        shading: THREE.FlatShading
        })

        ));

  scene.add(sphere);

The lines of mesh aren't displayed too.
I use three.min.js version 74.

A: Use THREE.WireframeHelper class.

var wireframe = new THREE.WireframeHelper( sphere, 0x00ff00 );
scene.add( wireframe );

DEEP PURPLE, LED ZEPPELIN, JIMI HENDRIX, RAINBOW - the list of bands that influence THE VINTAGE CARAVAN's creative work is undeniable, but the band still puts their very own stamp on every single track. At least so they do on the first tune and single "Reflections" taken from the upcoming fourth album "Gateways", out on August 31, 2018.
THE VINTAGE CARAVAN are from Álftanes, Iceland. The band was formed in 2006 by Óskar Logi Ágústsson and Guðjón Reynisson before bassist Alexander Örn Númason joined after the first studio album. There has been just one line-up change since the founding of the band when Stefán Ari Stefánsson replaced Guðjón Reynisson on drums in 2015. The band has released three studio albums.
Today's tune "Reflections" is an indomitable beast and gives a great fingertip on what comes ahead in August, really looking forward to a full spin, enjoy!
Listen to "The Vintage Caravan - Reflections" on Spotify!
The Tune Of The Day is a blog that is built on daily events. A new Tune everyday! All the music grows up during what we do or what happens everyday. Both Stones and Thetania work in the music business so many Tunes and stories are built from that. I hope you will enjoy it and don't be afraid to leave a comment or even sign up and follow it. We also add every tune to Spotify so you can subscribe to that list aswell.

Greek tourism professionals are welcoming what appears to be a revival of German traveler interest in Greek destinations with talk of a 6 percent rise in pre-bookings for the upcoming summer as Germany's consumer confidence is expected to show signs of improvement this month.
According to Nuremberg-based market research group GfK's latest report, travel operators in Germany reported an 8 percent rise in overall sales in November 2016 compared to the same month in 2015. The Gfk report, which sampled some 1,500 Germany-based travel operators, found that 60 percent of all reservations in November were for trips this summer up by 8.8 percent against November 2015 data. German travelers appear to prefer the months of July and August for their 2017 summer holidays with increased interest in the months of June and September. Pre-bookings for Greek destinations appear to be up by 6 percent for the upcoming summer.
German interest in Greece had dwindled for the most part of last year marking an overall drop of 5 percent while those German travelers who did visit the country decided to spend much less, down by 6.2 percent according to the Bank of Greece. Instead, German holidaymakers preferred to spend their summer vacation at home, or in Spain and Portugal, leaving behind traditional choices like Greece, Turkey and Egypt.
Meanwhile, travel operators across Germany have reported increased interest by German vacationers to plan ahead with Spain and Portugal as top choices.
Greek sector professionals, meanwhile, are reluctant, adding that it is too early to make any concrete forecasts. They are expecting a clearer picture ahead of the ITB Berlin on March 8-12.

Q: Simple 'if' with 'or' statement  I'm having trouble figuring why this isn't working...
if (index != 10 || index != 0) {

If index = 0 the function is still allowed in, why?

A: When index is zero, it is not ten.
The double pipe is a logical OR operator. The expression returns true when either the left, or the right side is true.
If you intend to return false when index is not 10 and zero, use the logical AND, &&:
if (index != 10 && index != 0) {

A: Because you are using an OR e.g. ||. So first of all it says does index != 10 which is true since it equals 0 and it therefore proceeds into the conditional.
You would need to change it to (index != 10 && index != 0).

A: Yep, it will, since using || means it will run if ANY of the 2 conditions are true. Hence, since 0 is not 10,  it will run, because when using || only 1 of the conditions needs to be satisfied.
If you want it to not be allowed, use && instead of ||, this way it will only run if both conditions are satisfied

A: If index evaluates to a number, one of those conditions will always be true.
Try
if (!(index == 0 || index == 10)) {
    ...
}

A: You should replace the || with a &&.Not to get confused with the || which is OR operator and is evaluated true if any of the conditions aretrue while the && AND operator evaluates to a true if and only if all the conditions are true.

The Arc Cinema signs up at Ayr's Kyle Centre development
February 22, 2021 February 22, 2021 - by News Desk
The Arc Cinema has signed a long-term lease with the innovative developer and investor, Squarestone Asset Management, to become the leisure anchor at Ayr's Kyle Centre.
Coupled with South Ayrshire Council's planned Leisure Centre on the Arran Mall site, which is also controlled by Squarestone Asset Management, this will see a key area in the heart of the town centre repurposed into a vibrant cultural and leisure destination.
Tim Barlow, Chief Operating Officer at Squarestone Asset Management commented "We are delighted with the outcome of the efforts of all involved, particularly, given the challenges of recent months. The Arc Cinema signing is a real endorsement of Ayr and we are all very excited about them committing to this opportunity.
Squarestone Asset Management can now look at signing food and beverage
operators to complement the cinema. The Arc Cinema is a great cultural contribution to the regeneration of Ayr town centre, supporting the vision South Ayrshire Council have set out to create."
The Arc Cinema is a boutique cinema operator that currently has six sites across the UK and Ireland, with a further two UK sites under construction and due to open in mid-2021. It specialises in providing a VIP cinema experience for the price of a standard ticket.
Along with the cinema at the Kyle Centre, plans include food and beverage outlets, a host of complementary leisure activities such as virtual reality, soft play, indoor golf experience and a refurbished car park. The new facilities will be set within a fully refurbished and extended Kyle Centre which will connect the scheme to the wider town centre, and an expanding range of leisure and entertainment offers to create a real sense of place.
Brian Gilligan, director at Melcorpo, which runs The Arc Cinema, said: "We are delighted to be working with Squarestone Asset Management to bring one of our state-of-the-art cinemas to the Kyle Centre in Ayr. We would like to express our grateful thanks to them for their support in helping make this possible.
"The large high-specification eight-screen cinema has been specially designed to ensure we become a leisure hub, enabling us to provide a focal point for the people of Ayr. Our customers love the fact that we offer a luxurious VIP experience, but we only charge standard cinema prices, and we think that unique combination is perfectly suited to Ayr.
"Everyone is really looking forward to treats like cinema and restaurant trips again so we're particularly excited to have the opportunity to be part of this good news story for the South Ayrshire community at this time."
Councillor Peter Henderson, Leader of South Ayrshire Council said: "This is fantastic news. We want to make South Ayrshire a better place to live for everyone, and this is a significant milestone as part of the regeneration of our town centre.
"We look forward to welcoming the first new cinema to the town in over 80 years. The brand new, state-of-the-art, eight-screen cinema in the Kyle Centre will bring blockbuster movies, live cinema events and films for all the family.
"It also means that residents will not have to travel elsewhere to see a wide variety of new films, and it will be a big draw for visitors, which I am sure will delight the town's
traders.
"Our goal is to increase the profile of the town centre and entice people back to the area. This project, together with our new Leisure Centre, will ultimately create significant new job opportunities in our community which I'm sure will also come as welcome news to our residents."
Following the deal with The Arc Cinema, and on-going discussions with complimentary leisure operators advancing, it is anticipated that construction will begin in 2023.

Indifference to migrants is unacceptable, Pope tells Dominican Republic bishops
A batey, or sugar workers' town, set up for Haitian immigrant laborers in the Dominican Republic, March 13, 2011. Credit: John Wood via Flickr (CC BY-NC 2.0).
Vatican City, Jun 1, 2015 / 12:08 am ().- The Church in the Dominican Republic cannot be indifferent to the plight of Haitian immigrants, Pope Francis said last week during a meeting with the Dominican Republic's Catholic bishops.
"Pastoral and charitable attention to immigrants, especially those from neighboring Haiti, who seek better conditions of life in the Dominican territory, cannot allow indifference on the part of pastor's of the Church,"the Pope said May 27 to the bishops who were in Rome for their ad limina visit.
"It is inexcusable to fail to promote initiatives of fraternity and peace between the two nations that form this beautiful Caribbean island."
The Dominican Republic has a long history of anti-Haitian sentiment, though a recent spike in tension is likely due to a contentious 2013 Dominican Supreme Court ruling that stripped the citizenship of nearly 200,000 Dominicans of Haitian descent.
In February, a Haitian immigrant was found lynched in the public square of Santiago. Dominican authorities claimed other Haitian migrants killed the man over a winning lottery ticket, though the victim's family disputes that claim, according to International Business Times.
Thousands of Haitians took to the streets of Port-au-Prince in the days following the lynching to protest ongoing mistreatment of Haitian migrants in the Dominican Republic. Across the border, several Dominicans in the city of Santiago burned a Haitian flag and urged their government to put and end to the "invasion" of Haitian migrants, according to Al Jazeera.
Pope Francis urged the Dominican bishops to work together with civil authorities to establish solutions for Haitian migrants who are denied documents and basic rights in the Dominican Republic.
"It is important to know how to integrate immigrants into society and to welcome them into the ecclesial community," the Pope said. "I thank those who are close to them and to all who suffer as a gesture of loving care towards the brother who feels alone and helpless, with whom Christ identified."
The Pope praised the bishops for their efforts to combat corruption, the abuse of minors, and the trafficking of humans and drugs. He emphasized that the actions of the Church must always be directed toward the care of disadvantaged populations.
"Everything that is achieved in this respect will increase the presence of the Kingdom of God that gave us Jesus Christ, while enhancing the credibility of the Church and the relevance of the voice of her pastors."
Pope Francis also encouraged the bishops to continue teaching the truths about marriage and family life in the Dominican Republic.
"Marriage and the family are going through a serious cultural crisis," the Pope warned. "But that does not mean they have lost importance. The family is the place where we learn to live together in difference, to forgive and to experience forgiveness, and where parents pass on values to their children, and especially the faith."
He particularly stressed the importance of forming husbands and fathers and promoting familial and marital reconciliation.
"A broad-ranging catechetical effort regarding the Christian ideal of conjugal communion and family life, and the spirituality of fatherhood and motherhood, is necessary," the Pope said. "Greater pastoral attention needs to be paid to the role of men as husbands and fathers, as well as the responsibility they share with their wives with respect to marriage, the family and the upbringing of children."
Pope Francis said the bishops must also recommit to the formation of priests and seminarians in the Dominican Republic.
"I invite you to take time and care for priests, to care for each of them, to defend them from the wolves, which also attack the shepherds," he cautioned.
The Pope ended his message to the bishops with a nod to environmental stewardship.
"The relationship between man and nature should not be ruled by greed, by manipulation or by over-exploitation … but must keep the divine harmony among creatures and creation, to put them at the service of all and of future generations."

Q: Expected value of the recursive algorithm
Sara and Macey want to play the game of Truth or Dare. They use the following recursive algorithm to decide who goes first:

$\textbf{Algorithm} \hspace{2mm} GoesFirst(k):$
    $// \hspace{2mm}k ≥ 1$, the die is fair, and all rolls are independent
    Shelly rolls the die, let $s$ be the result;
    Macey rolls the die, let $m$ be the result;
    $
\textbf{if } s > m \\
\textbf{then} \text{ Sara goes first} \\
\quad \quad return \hspace{2mm} k \\
\textbf{end if } \\
\textbf{if } s < n \\
\textbf{then} \text{ Macey goes first} \\
\quad \quad return \hspace{2mm} k \\
\textbf{end if } \\
\textbf{if } s = m \\
\textbf{then} \text{ GoesFirst(k + 1)} \\
\textbf{end if } \\
$

The ladies run algorithm $GoesFirst(1)$, i.e., with $k = 1$. Define the random variable $X$ to be the value of the output of this algorithm.
  What is the expected value $\mathbb{E}(X)$ of the random variable $X$?
(a) $3/2$
  (b) $5/4$
  (c)  $5/6$
(d) $6/5 \hspace{2mm} \text{ This is the answer} $

Why is this the answer? I know the formula for the expected value is $\mathbb{E}(X) = \sum_{}^{} k \cdot Pr(X = k)$.
From class I learned that the Expected Value of a Geometric Distribution is $1/p$ where $p$ is the probability of success.
Is $5/6$ is the probability of success? (ie. $5/6$ times we will get an answer as to who will go first).
If so, then we repeat this algorithm until we reach a success, which I assume follows the Geometric Distribution:
$\frac{1}{5/6} = 6/5$ which is the answer.
I tried doing the sum but realized it was pointless.
$\mathbb{E}(X) = 1 \cdot 5/6 + 2 \cdot 1/6$ ...
I think my first solution is correct. If anyone can formalize my thinking that would be great.
Thanks.

A: The algorithm returns the number of the first roll of the die on which they get a different number.  As you say, the probability of success (the probability that they roll different numbers) is $5/6.$  The expected number of trials until the first success is $1/p$ as you know.  The answer is $6/5$.
It isn't "pointless" to compute the sum.  That's how the expected value of $1/p$ is arrived at in the first place.  However the second term should be $$2 \cdot 1/6\cdot 5/6$$ It's $2$ times the probability that they get the same number on the first roll, times the probability that they get different numbers on the second.

A: There are $36$ possible outcomes of $(s,m)$ drawings, of which $6$ make a tie, with probability $\dfrac16$.
Then we have the recurrence
$$p_{k+1}=\frac{p_k}6$$
because $k$ is incremented only in case of a tie, and we indeed have a geometric law with parameter $1-p=\dfrac56$. The expectation is known to be the inverse of the parameter.

By direction computation, the expectation is
$$E=\frac{1p+2p^2+3p^3+\cdots}{p+p^2+p^3+\cdots}=1+\frac{1p^2+2p^3+\cdots}{p+p^2+p^3+\cdots}=1+p\frac{1p+2p^2+\cdots}{p+p^2+p^3+\cdots}=1+pE$$ and we draw
$$E=\frac65.$$

A: Your output X follows a
Negative binomial distribution. X is the number of trial before the first success.
Here the success S is when the 2 dices roll different number. Let's say we have rolled the first dice what is the probability that the second dice gives a different number? The probability of success is $p=P(B=1)=\frac 56$
Then we repeat this experiment until success and X=k means $B_1=0$ and $B_2=0$ and $\dots$  $B_k=1$.
The expectation of the negative binomial is $E(X)=\frac 1p$. A good explanation is available in Wikipedia. A formal proof is the following:
$E(X)=E(X|B_1=0)P(B_1=0) + E(X|B_1=1)P(B_1=1) = (E(X)+1)(1-p) + p$
$E(X)=\frac 1p $

The framework is built upon creating plugins for execution inside the SleekXMPP architecture.  These plugins can generate content, execute commands, or provide additional functionality that can be used by other plugins in the system.  Note: Commands can be implemented as plugins, but due to some idiosyncracies of the SleekXMPP framework, there is an abstract class that provides similar fuctionality for commands.

## SleekXMPP Framework

SleekXMPP requires that all plugins inherit from `sleekxmpp.plugins.base.base_plugin`.  This provides the expected functionality for all plugins.  This means that all plugins must have the following class variables.

* name - the means of looking up the plugin in the architecture.
* description - human readable string that will be used in debug statements
* dependencies - set of dependencies that are required for the plugin to initialize.

## Installing Framework

The documentation of SleekXMPP states that the plugins should be installed using:

```python
bot.register_plugin('plugin_name', module='module_name')
```

This will load the plugin and enable the plugin in a single step.

A better way, that allows for automatic dependency resolution is to break up the load and enable into multiple steps.  If this is not done, you're required to register the plugins in dependency order instead of letting SleekXMPP handle this for you, (which it has unit tests for).

This is done by:

```python
from my_plugins_module import my_plugin
from sleekxmpp.plugins.base import register_plugin

def load_components():
    register_plugin(my_plugin)

########### Then in the bot definition

load_components()

bot = RhoBot()
bot.register_plugin('my_plugin')
```

This will force all of the plugins that my_plugin depends on (and have been registered with the system) will be loaded and enabled before my_plugin is initialized.

Nov 13, 2020 to Jan 1, 2021
Organized by Gabrielle Civil, Black Motion Pictures is a series of Zoom interviews with radical Black creatives about race, performance, and representation conducted between June 2–14, 2020. Spanning a broad range of topics—Black punk music, heritage sites, re-enactments, queer ancestors— the series continues with film curator and programmer Jheanelle Brown. Who are you today and what do you do? Can you think of a performance—black or otherwise—whatever that means—that has meant a lot to you? How is black performance marked or archived? How does black performance relate to time (to historicity or ephemerality)? What is a black performance still? How does black performance matter? What is a black motion picture?
ABOUT THE PANELISTS
Gabrielle Civil is a black feminist performance artist, poet, and writer, originally from Detroit MI. She has premiered fifty performance works around the world, most recently with Wild Beauty at the Velocity Dance Center in Seattle (2020).

Q: Can't Load a .Net Core 3.0 Web App Running From CLI Issue:
I have a .Net Core 3.0 app that I'm unable to load in a browser ONLY when running it using the Mac OS X CLI, like so:
$ dotnet new webapp
$ dotnet watch run
watch : Started
info: Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.KeyManagement.XmlKeyManager[0]
      User profile is available. Using '/Users/<user>/.aspnet/DataProtection-Keys' as key repository; keys will not be encrypted at rest.
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Now listening on: https://localhost:5001
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Now listening on: http://localhost:5000
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Application started. Press Ctrl+C to shut down.
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Hosting environment: Development
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
      Content root path: /Users/<user>/Sandbox/coreapp3test

So everything looks good at this point, except when opening the URL in a browser I receive:
This site cannot be reached

localhost unexpectedly closed the connection.

UPDATE:
I think it has something to do with HTTPS protocol.  Navigating to http://localhost:5000 does render an https redirect.  So the server is actually listening...
info: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Diagnostics[1]
      Request starting HTTP/1.1 GET http://localhost:5000/
info: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Diagnostics[2]
      Request finished in 9.6705ms 307

UPDATE 2:
Furthermore, removing the app.UseHttpsRedirection(); from the Configure method of startup.cs and then navigating to http://localhost:5000 renders the page correctly, while https://localhost:5001 still fails.
I've opened a ticket on GitHub to track the issue.
Notes:

*

*I can run the app in VS Code, so the runtime must be installed correctly

*.NET Core 2.2 apps work fine with the CLI - I can run them from the CLI without issue. So it appears isolated to 3.0

*The Windows CLI appears to work without issue

*I've also tried the following, without success:

*

*Removing bin/ and obj/ and restoring / building again

*Re-installing the SDK - same result

*Disabling firewall (in case that was blocking the connection)

*Generating multiple web project types (e.g. angular, mvc, etc.) to see if it was related to the template

A: running from vs code does dotnet run. It appears that the watch command has an infinite loop trying to watch some files that are contantly changing. This may be due to for example reloadOnChange option in configurationBuilder.
configurationBuilder.AddJsonFile(
            "appsettings.json",
            optional: false,
            reloadOnChange: true)

A: v3.1 Update
This has been resolved in v3.1.x, per the dotnet team on Github.


The Look AHEAD study is a multi-center, randomized clinical trial to examine the long-term effects of a lifestyle intervention designed to achieve and maintain weight loss. The study will investigate the effects of the intervention on heart attacks, stroke and cardiovascular-related death in individuals with type 2 diabetes who are also overweight or obese.
Look AHEAD is examining, in overweight volunteers with type 2 diabetes, the long-term effects of an intensive lifestyle intervention program designed to achieve and maintain weight loss by decreased caloric intake and increased physical activity. This program will be compared to a control condition involving a program of diabetes support and education.
over a planned follow-up period of up to 13.5 years will be reduced among participants assigned to the Lifestyle Intervention compared to those assigned to the control condition, Diabetes Support and Education.
Look AHEAD will also test for reductions in the incidence of three secondary composite outcomes and examine the effect of the intervention on cardiovascular disease risk factors, diabetes control and complications, general health, and quality of life, and psychological outcomes. The cost and cost-effectiveness of the Lifestyle Intervention relative to Diabetes Support and Education will be assessed.
The Look AHEAD intensive lifestyle intervention ended September, 2012. Participants continue to be followed to determine the long-term effects of the intervention on health outcomes.
Participants in the lifestyle intervention arm are offered individual and group sessions designed to help achieve and maintain weight loss.
The lifestyle intervention is implemented with individual supervision and group sessions and is aimed at achieving and maintaining at least a 7% decrease in weight from baseline and 175 minutes per week in physical activity. It is implemented during a four-year period with the most intensive application during the first year, less frequent attention during the next three years, and a minimum of twice yearly contacts during an extended follow-up period. To help participants achieve and maintain weight loss, a variety of diet strategies (e.g. prepared meals and liquid formula), exercise strategies, and optional weight loss medications are utilized based on a preset algorithm and participant progress.
The diabetes support and education arm provides group sessions on diabetes management and social support.
Participants assigned to diabetes support and education are offered three sessions each year in diabetes management and social support.
Unable or unwilling to give informed consent or communicate with local study staff.
Current diagnosis of schizophrenia, other psychotic disorders, or bipolar disorder.
Hospitalization for depression in past six months.
Self-report of alcohol or substance abuse within the past twelve months.
Current consumption of more than 14 alcoholic drinks per week.
Current acute treatment or rehabilitation program for these problems.
Plans to relocate to an area not served by Look AHEAD or travel plans that do not permit full participation in the study.
Lack of support from primary care health provider or family members.
Failure to complete the two-week run-in for dietary intake and exercise.
Weight loss exceeding 10 lbs. in past three months.
Current use of medications for weight loss.
Self reported inability to walk two blocks.
History of bariatric surgery, small bowel resection, or extensive bowel resection.
Chronic treatment with systemic corticosteroids.
Another member of the household is a participant or staff member in Look AHEAD.
Cancer requiring treatment in the past five years, except for non-melanoma skin cancers or cancers that have clearly been cured.
HIV positive (self-report), due to effects on weight and body composition of HIV and medications used to treat HIV.
Cardiovascular disease (heart attack or procedure within the past three months).
Participation in a cardiac rehabilitation program within last three months.
Stroke or history/treatment for transient ischemic attacks in the past three months.
Pulmonary embolus in past six months.
Unstable angina pectoris or angina pectoris at rest.
A history of cardiac arrest.
Complex ventricular arrhythmia at rest or with exercise (e.g., ventricular tachycardia).
Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation (heart rate of 100 beats per minute or more).
NYHA Class III or IV congestive heart failure.
Acute myocarditis, pericarditis or hypertrophic myocardiopathy.
Left bundle branch block or cardiac pacemaker unless evaluated and cleared for participation by a cardiologist.
History of aortic aneurysm of at least 7 cm in diameter or aortic aneurysm repair.
Resting heart rate less than 45 beats per minute or greater than 100 beats per minute.
Any abnormality during the maximum exercise stress test that indicates that it would be unsafe to participate in the Lifestyle Intervention.
Significant ST segment depression at low levels of exercise.
Abnormal hemodynamics, such as flat or decreasing systolic blood pressure with increasing workload.
Those at moderate to high risk for cardiac complications during exercise.
Those who are unable to self-regulate activity or understand the recommended activity level.

Denver's indie rock scene gets hotter and smarter with the rise of Hot Iqs

:: Hot IQs :: Hi-Dive :: January 28 ::
By Cornelia Kane
"We like hot girls with hot IQs," croons Eli Mishkin, lead singer and guitarist for the Denver band Hot IQs on their debut album, 2004's An Argument Between Brain and Feet, released on the independent Morning After Records. Their brand of smart lounge pop-rock has lately been earning the band critical acclaim, with opening spots for such established acts as Hot Hot Heat and Brian Jonestown Massacre. Fresh off a national tour opening for both Built to Spill and Tegan and Sara, Mishkin found time to talk with The Marquee about the band's adjusting to life on the road and future plans.
"We were extremely lucky to tour with amazing bands that have huge followings, so we had the luxury of playing to hundreds, sometimes thousands of people a night, basically just piggybacking onto their existing fame," he joked, adding that opening for indie legends Built To Spill recently was a special treat. "We really lucked out to have that opportunity as such a new touring band."
The band, which is rounded out by Elaine Acosta (drums) and Bryan Feuchtinger (bass), is happy for the recent airplay and attention from labels, but they have remained humble about their inauspicious beginnings. "Elaine and I had known each other for a couple of years from being DJs together at the college radio station in Boulder. We hung out quite a bit, going to shows and talking about music obsessively. One day we were sitting in her apartment talking about all the concerts we'd been to and how great underground music is and we decided that we should become an underground band, kind of as a lark," Mishkin said.
The two quickly got Acosta a drum set and Mishkin, who already played guitar, turned Acosta's apartment into a rehearsal space. "We started practicing the next day in her apartment and quickly the police were called. Then for the next couple of weeks, they were called every day that we practiced. Our practicing wasn't really practicing; it was just smashing on the drums and making noise because we didn't know what we were doing. So that was the birth of the band," said Mishkin.
The duo knew that they needed a bassist to round out the trio and looked to Feuchtinger to fill the spot. "Bryan had been playing drums for about 14 years but was new to the bass, so he brought that newness and the raw energy to the bass that we had to our instruments and … that was sort of the beginning of the end," Mishkin said.
The raw energy certainly comes through on the album, and the instrumentation remains simple yet inexplicably dancey, showcasing Mishkin's witty, sometimes sarcastic lyrics. "Hot IQs put the indie-rock chocolate in your disco peanut butter," is how their website puts it.
The band soon played their first gig, even though they may not have been ready for the stage — they didn't even have a name the first time they played as a band. "We had four songs and maybe a cover. I guess a few people saw something. They overlooked the fact that we were just making noise and couldn't really perform or get across any real sound, but people saw a spark of something and I don't know what it was, but I guess people still see that spark because we can still now just barely play songs, but we're getting away with it," Mishkin said.
That spark may soon grow into a fire, as the next album is expected in early spring. "We're hoping to make a much bigger splash with it, national tours, more festivals, that type of thing," he said.
The band is headed to the studio now, and they don't have far to go, as they'll be following the same formula as their debut, recording in Feuchtinger's home studio. The label has yet to be determined.
"We have a pretty clear vision of how we want ourselves to sound, and that's part of that controlling your own destiny aspect of independent music that we that we really gravitate towards. So we're good to go ourselves on this one," Mishkin said.
Mishkin said that the band isn't necessarily anti- or pro-major label, but that their main goal is keeping things on the up and up. "Our main goal is pretty much coke and whores, so … No, really, any amount of integrity we can maintain with each level of success is, I think, our goal," he joked.
Interesting fact: the band was originally called The Royal We. "We liked that name quite a bit, but five other bands in the country liked that name also. So, right before we released our album we decided to change to something we wouldn't be sued for. And we changed to something that we created, which are the Hot IQs, which as far as we know is a wholly Hot IQs creation. We stole it from our song. I'd like to say that we did it for thematic reasons, but I think part of it was sheer laziness; because we liked the fact that we had a theme song already, and none of the other songs fit as a band name all that well," Mishkin said.

"A sanctum in the heart of Yeti country."
A careful selection of Northwest hops, premium barley, and our unique yeast give this ale a rich and complex malty middle with a snappy hop finish. It's truly a micro that finishes crisp, clean, and smooth.
This Amber is a sweet, malty, medium-bodied ale with a spicy, floral hop finish. It's brewed with 2-row Pale, Crystal and Chocolate malts. And we hop it with Mt. Hoods and Cascades. Over the years it's earned 15 Gold Medals.
It's bold, clean flavor and pronounced citrus and floral aromas are what define American-style Hefeweizen. So pour yourself a cool, cloudy glass, finish with a lemon and enjoy the original.
You'll notice a zesty orange fruitiness with a light spicy wheat aroma. The flavor starts crisp and tangy and ends with a coriander and orange spiciness. The Valencia orange peel gives a subtle sweetness to the beer.
All natural ingredients give Stella Artois a clean, crisp palate. The fresh, pale malt aromas offer a sweet herbal note and a lingering hoppy finish.
This golden beauty explodes with citrusy flavor and hop aromas, all perfectly balanced by a subtle malt character. This crisp, extra hoppy brew is hugely refreshing on a hot day, but will always deliver no matter when you choose to drink it.
Crafted to perfection for over 200 years. Crack it open, and the first sip tastes as fresh as ever. The unmistakeable deep-dark color, the crisp hint of roasted barley, the fresh breeze of hops, and the refreshing bite all make for the bittersweet reward.
This is your basic American-style Brown Ale; think of it as the neighbor down the street that you see every day in passing, but was just another dude until you discovered he was a badass extreme-sports junkie. Okay, maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but this is a really approachable, mild-mannered beer that has a lot of complexity despite its pedestrian overcoat. Six different malts and two type of hops come together in this beer to create a sublime blend of roasty, creamy and hoppy flavors. Don't be afraid of the dark, sometimes really nice things happen there!
Finally, a beer that pays homage to the hard workers in our Valley. The trail crews and farmers, the lumberjacks and firefighters, we brew this for you! With these folk in mind, we've created an Amber Lager that features a smooth, medium body, with a rich toasted malt aroma. Dirtyface's initial malty sweetness finishes fresh and clean… unlike its name. No need to wash up, just wash down.
To The Wizard of Water, The Master of Mash, The Baron of Barley, and Kingpin of Craft. The Head of Hops, The Kettle's King, The Yoda of Yeast, and Guru of Grain. The Duke of Dunkels, The Leader of Lagers, The Ace of Ales, and Sultan of Sours: We raise our glass to you ingenious explorer and say, "Thank you Dean for the Priebe Porter!" So dark and so rich, robust and full flavored, the hops and aroma make it hard not to savor.
Created by the brewery's founder, Quilter's Irish Death is what we call a dark, smooth, ale. Any attempt at classifying it just ends up sending beer geeks into a style guidelines diatribe. So forget style guidelines. Is your pursuit of micro beer about tasting copies of a style that fit guidelines anyways? (Neither is ours) We lovingly refer to it as beer candy. While tempting to session this beer, the name is a necessary reminder that despite the surprising approachability, this beer weighs in at a hefty 7.8% ABV.
Introduced in 1978, Coors Light has been a favorite in delivering the ultimate in cold refreshment for more than 25 years.

MANATEE COUNTY -- Venice's country-music radio station WCTQ (106.5 FM) puts on a good-time, musical hoo-ha Saturday at Hunsader Farms (4900 S.R. 675, about 10 miles east of I-75 between S.R. 64 and S.R. 70, 322-2616) in Manatee County, featuring none other than the Charlie Daniels Band.
The hard-rockin' Southern boogie bluesmen are joined by Nashville's Canadian transplants Emerson Drive (also appearing at Fort Myers' Neptunes at 9 p.m. today, $20), harmonizing and fiddling for the first annual "CTQ Country Wing Ding," together with regional favorites One Night Rodeo.
The mini-fest actually is an affair to highlight chicken wings (thus the name), where 10-15 area restaurants serve their best wings and a panel of judges deems one the "best" (although that's a subjective determination, of course).
There'll be craft vendors, too, along with games and train rides for the kiddies.
CTQ hopes to have more frequent music events at this location depending on the response to this one, as well as a repeat of the Wing Ding on an annual basis.
Gates open at 11 a.m., music begins at 1 p.m., and the rain-or-shine event runs until 6:30 p.m.
Tickets are $15, $10 for children, free for ages 5 and under. Tickets are available at the gate, or in advance at all Hunsader Farms outlets and Begley Shell Gas station locations (addresses are listed at the CTQ Web site: www.wctq.com/wingdinglocations.html).
HUNGERING, LOCALLY -- While there's already loads of deserved coverage for the Five O'Clock Club's Giving Hunger the Blues festival (noon-8 p.m. Sunday, $5) along Sarasota's Hillview Street and Southside Village, here's more:
The finale (7-8 p.m.) features "heartland rock" originator -- and area resident -- Larry Crane, the longtime John Mellencamp guitarist who's also worked through the years with Steve Earle, Rosanne Cash, Bonnie Raitt, Lou Reed and John Prine, among others.
He'll be joined on stage by another resident guitar god-of-sorts, local bluesman/rocker Cliff Sadler (ex-Kansas/Bad Company/Double Trouble). The two also trade licks on the new album "Wire and Wood," a 13-song disc available on Crane's Web page, www.LarryCrane.net, for $15.
IMITATORS GALORE -- J.B.'s (6240 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, 924-4999) attempts a disco comeback with Disco Inferno (performing as "Funky Bizness" at Bradenton's Club Heat on Wednesdays), which dons full '70s regalia, and appears Tuesdays this month. There's even a contest for "Most Outrageous Costume" in an attempt to "re-create" the atmosphere of Manhattan's ultra-hip Studio 54. Admission is $5.
And a "Superstar Celebrity Look-alike Vegas Show" will be staged at 8 p.m. Thursday with entertainers who purportedly look, sing and act "identical" to Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross.
April 24 is a special "Blues Brothers Night" look-alike show officially sanctioned by Dan Aykroyd, featuring "Jake," "Elwood" and their four-piece group.
Tickets to both impersonation gigs are $20 in advance, $25 at the door.
CONTESTANTS AGAIN -- Contest diehard Code Sunshine is one of 12 regional bands competing for "A Shot at the Cabo Wabo." Winners of this national search, conducted at Orlando's Hard Rock Live (6050 Universal Blvd., Universal Studios' City Walk, 407-351-5483), will open for Sammy Hagar at his Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
CS competes at 8:30 p.m. Saturday ($6), and if it wins, it returns April 23.
Locally, Code Sunshine is at Bradenton's Rockerfellas (727-2789) today along with Serophine and Fort Myers' Zona. Saturday's lineup there is Gargamel, Dolt and Machete Drive; Thursday sees Downbringer, Trip2go and Chrome Yellow. All these all-ages shows begin at 9 p.m., and admission is $5, $8 for under age 21.
HIP TIPS -- Sarasota's Main Street Merchants Association hired "Betty's Ragtime Rascals" -- Betty Comora's musical trio -- to entertain First Friday Strollers along downtown's main drag. Those Rascals revel with tuba, banjo and washboardist/vocalist today from 5-7:30 p.m . The Seventh Annual Florida Rock-Off has concluded and Clearwater Central Catholic High School's pop-punkers 15th Hole secured the "Best Young Band in Central Florida" title along with $1,000 cash.

FYLDE BUS BLOG: Volvo Olympians at 20 The 1990s was a famine for new double deck buses.

Volvo had taken over Leyland Bus in 1988 and its Olympian chassis was relaunched under the Volvo mark in 1993 and unusually for Volvo still featured the Cummins L10 engine.
