Huevos con aceite: Are you missing song lyrics or opportunities?
I remember listening to popular music as a teenager. Sometimes the way lyrics were sung gave much leeway to misinterpretations. Some of the most famous misinterpretations have become almost legendary and many can be found on the website www.kissthisguy.com. The site is named after the popular Jimi Hendrix song Purple Haze in which the lyrics "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky" have often been misinterpreted as "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy". Kind of funny. What happens, though, when the layer of a second language defines how an individual interprets the letras of a song? The results can be amusing, if not somewhat clever.
Growing up in the eighties, many rock groups were not exactly known for their enunciation of song lyrics. When the hard rock group AC/DC released the hit song "Dirty deeds done dirt cheap", many listeners often heard: "Thirty thieves and the thunder chief."
Go ahead, listen to it here.
Even among native speakers of a language, misinterpretations can be common. "Thirty thieves" is one of my favorites. What are some of yours?
I play in a local Grand Rapids rock group named Cabildo. Much of the band's repertoire covers popular songs from the "rock en Español" movement of the early to mid nineties. Some of the band's members grew up in Chile and Mexico and remember listening to popular songs from the U.S. They once related an anecdote about a song by the rock group Twisted Sister. The song became a well-known, albeit short lived, anthem of youth rebellion. The chorus is:
"We're not 'gonna take it. No, we ain't 'gonna take it. We're not 'gonna take it, anymore".
Listen to it below (and share a laugh at what we once considered as "rebellious music"):
For a Spanish speaking teenager growing up, this is what you may have heard in the chorus:
"Huevos con aceite. Huevos con aceite. Huevos con aceite, y limón".
Go ahead, listen to it again and try to place the misinterpreted Spanish in the song. Don't believe me? Check out this short video of the band playing a Spanish festival few years ago:
A few months ago, a video of a Chilean bus passenger went viral. The music lover featured in the video was singing his interpretation of the Selena Gomez hit "Love you like a love song" out loud – very loud. The English lyrics are:
"I, I love you like a love song, baby. And I keep hittin' re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat."
Here's original song by Selena Gomez:
Check out the bus passenger's interpretation here.
According to one YouTube user, this is what he was singing:
"A ai laviu, laca no son beibi. En maque mi pipipipipipipipip."
I guess it could be up to interpretation. The comediante de micro has since become affectionately known in social media circles as "Seleno Gomez".
Much more than misinterpreted lyrics, what I believe exists is an opportunity to deliver value. Really. When people interpret something as their own, such as a song, they are essentially defining a sense of ownership. To the Chilean bus passenger, those misinterpreted lyrics are uniquely his own. When the video went viral, his misinterpretation capitalized on the popularity of the original song and likewise increased its value to YouTube viewers – even if it was seen as comical. Imagine the brand value a record company could deliver to the thousands of YouTube viewers and potential buyers in Chile and Latin America who shared a laugh watching this video. Maybe "Seleno" should be invited to share the stage with Gomez during a concert tour through Latin America? Perhaps he could lead or judge a karaoke contest? What other creative possibilities exist?
I believe, what may be viewed as a humorous misinterpretation of music, can also deliver extended value. After all, many people in the U.S. still like to recall their own misheard lyrics of popular songs – and they share the same language. Imagine the hidden possibilities that exist between the fumbling of two languages. When we consider marketing to Latinos, can this "listening between the lines" approach help extend a brand's value? Give a listen and decide for yourself.

Q: Display right text color according to segment? I have a segmented control with 2 segments ONC and OFC, if I change color of row1 under ONC, it is changing color of row1 in OFC as well. I like to change text color to green for an event, if eventStatus = 1, and red if the eventStatus = 2. This is what I have done so far
   func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath){

    let eventDesc = NSEntityDescription.insertNewObject(forEntityName: "EventDec", into: context) as! EventDec
    var eventSchOnc: EventScheduleOnc?
    var eventSchOfc: EventScheduleOfc?
    do {
        switch (eventSegCtrl.selectedSegmentIndex)
        {
        case 0:
             let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult>(entityName: "EventScheduleOnc")
             fetchRequest.fetchLimit = 1
             fetchRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "eventNameOnc == %@", self.oncEvents[indexPath.row] as String)
             var objects: [EventScheduleOnc]
             try objects = context.fetch(fetchRequest) as! [EventScheduleOnc]
             eventSchOnc = objects[0] as EventScheduleOnc
             break

        case 1:
            let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult>(entityName: "EventScheduleOfc")
            fetchRequest.fetchLimit = 1
            fetchRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "eventNameOfc == %@", self.ofcEvents[indexPath.row] as String)
            var objects: [EventScheduleOfc]
            try objects = context.fetch(fetchRequest) as! [EventScheduleOfc]
            eventSchOfc = objects[0] as EventScheduleOfc
            break
        default:break
        }
    }

catch {
        print("Try Again")
      }

    eventDesc.setValue(eventSchOnc, forKey: "eventScheduleOnc")
    eventDesc.setValue(eventSchOfc, forKey: "eventScheduleOfc")

    let alert = UIAlertController(title: "title", message: "msg", preferredStyle: .alert)

    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "yes", style: .default) { _ in
        eventDesc.setValue(1, forKey: "eventStatus")
        do {
            try context.save()
        } catch{
            print("Try again")
        }
    })
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "no", style: .default) { _ in
        eventDesc.setValue(2, forKey: "eventStatus")
        do {
            try context.save()
        } catch {
            print("Try again")
        }
    })
    present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

    let myEventCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "myCell", for: indexPath) as! EventTableViewCell
    let eventDescOnc = self.eventScheduleOnc[indexPath.row].eventDecOnc
    let eventOnc = eventDescOnc?.eventStatus
    if (eventOnc == 1) {
        myEventCell.eventLabel.textColor = UIColor.green
    }
    else if (eventOnc == 2){
        myEventCell.eventLabel.textColor = UIColor.red
    }

    let eventDescOfc = self.eventScheduleOfc[indexPath.row].eventDecOfc
    let eventOfc = eventDescOfc?.eventStatus
    if (eventOfc == 1) {
        myEventCell.eventLabel.textColor = UIColor.green
    }
    else if (eventOfc == 2) {
        myEventCell.eventLabel.textColor = UIColor.red
    }

}

How do I display right text colors according to eventStatus under each segment?

A: Instead of using String array used array of EventScheduleOfc and EventScheduleONc and after you set eventStatus of EventDesc in didSelectRowAt simply reload the tableView.
private func eventDataOnc(){
    let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
    let context = appDelegate.persistentContainer.viewContext
    let request = NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult>(entityName: "EventScheduleOnc")
    request.returnsObjectsAsFaults = false
    do
    {
        self.eventScheduleOnc = try context.fetch(request) as! [EventScheduleOnc]
    }
    catch{}
}

private func eventDataOfc(){
    let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
    let context = appDelegate.persistentContainer.viewContext
    let request = NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult>(entityName: "EventScheduleOfc")
    request.returnsObjectsAsFaults = false
    do
    {
        self.eventScheduleOfc = try context.fetch(request) as! [EventScheduleOfc]
    }
    catch{}
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell{
    let myEventCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "myCell", for: indexPath) as! EventTableViewCell

    if eventSegCtrl.selectedSegmentIndex == 0 {
        myEventCell.eventLabel.text = self.eventScheduleOnc[indexPath.row].eventNameOnc

        if let eventDesc = self.eventScheduleOnc[indexPath.row].eventDec,
           let eventStatus = eventDesc.eventStatus {
            if eventStatus == 1 {
                myEventCell.eventLabel.textColor = UIColor.green
            }
            else {
                myEventCell.eventLabel.textColor = UIColor.red
            }
        }
        else {
            myEventCell.eventLabel.textColor = UIColor.black
        }
    }
    else {
        myEventCell.eventLabel.text  = self.eventScheduleOfc[indexPath.row].eventNameOfc
        if let eventDesc = self.eventScheduleOfc[indexPath.row].eventDec,
           let eventStatus = eventDesc.eventStatus {
            if eventStatus == 1 {
                myEventCell.eventLabel.textColor = UIColor.green
            }
            else {
                myEventCell.eventLabel.textColor = UIColor.red
            }
        }
        else {
            myEventCell.eventLabel.textColor = UIColor.black
        }
    }
    return myEventCell
}

Now in didSelect simply set the value in core data and then instead of setting textColor of label simply reload the tableView.

Russ: Rather than being redundant and pasting in the total breadth of this musician's career, I'd like to take you down a path leading to his 'landmark' alto sax solo in Billie Joel's very popular 1977 Pop ballad called 'Just the Way You Ar. His saxophone sound has an unmistakable yearning quality that is drenched in blues and struggle. Bringing jazz influence to the Pop music field, he also soloed on Steely Dan's 'Doctor Wu,' from their critically acclaimed 1975 album 'Katy Lied', as well as Paul Simon's 1975 hit, 'Have a Good Time'

In my experience, making a book is a slow and oddly tense undertaking. For my current project based on the first chapter of Margaret Fuller's Summer on the Lakes in 1843, the initial challenge was accurately transcribing the original text, including checking on antique spellings such as visiters and choak. Because I am not using imposition software to organize the folios of words and image, I have to depend upon myself to make sure everything is in the right order and right-side-up. As any proofreader knows, this is a challenge when you are really, really familiar with the text.
When the twenty-two folios of this book, five folded pages each, were assembled, I was ready to sew them together. You might imagine this to be peaceful, meditative process, but hanging on to the ever-tall stack of pages while wielding the needle and waxed thread, not tying myself in knots, is no easy task.
Gluing up the sewn book block brings stability and a growing sense of bookiness to the whole thing. As of this morning, the body is secure, the end bands tight and straight, and Ms. Fuller's heady description of Niagara Falls is ready for a spine.


The Demons finals aspirations had taken a hit with their loss to Footscray a week earlier, and they travelled to Waverley knowing that a loss to Ron Barassi and the Roos would all but end their year with two months of the season to play.
Ex-Bomber Ray Smith had a quick introduction to his teammates before debuting. Smith had trained at Windy Hill two hours before being named in the Melbourne side. His clearance went through on Friday and by Saturday he was lining up alongside his new teammates at Waverley.
By 5pm it was North who had enhanced their finals prospects and almost ended those of their opponents. Wayne Schimmelbusch cut the Demons to ribbons on route to five goals, and after Sam Kekovich had been beaten comfortably by Gary Hardeman at centre half-forward in the first quarter he went to centre half-back and played an important role.


For the past few months I've been working on a new blog. I got the idea long ago to start a blog dedicated exclusively to my writings on Indian classical dance and the performing arts. The name 'Sacred Space' is inspired by the temples where Indian classical dance used to be performed. The above photograph is of Swapnasundari, a famous Kuchipudi dancer photographed at Khajuraho temple by an equally famous Indian photographer, Avinash Pasricha who has kindly allowed me to feature his photograph in Sacred Space.
So far, Sacred Space is mostly a collection of some of the articles I've already had published. I plan to add new material on a regular basis.
In the meantime, I will still be here, sharing what's going on outside my window.
'Sacred Space' is a welcome addition to the blog world for us dance aficionados!Thank you.
ah, I just recommended to you in a comment to read about Rukmini Arundele without realizing that you are a Bharatanatyam dancer yourself :) Sorry.

Q: IndexError: tuple index out of range(XGBoost) I am trying to predict weekly sales of a bunch of stores. I want to use XGBoost but I keep running into this error:
IndexError: tuple index out of range

My code:
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

y = allmergecopy.Weekly_Sales
X = allmergecopy[features]
X_train, y_train, X_valid, y_valid = train_test_split(y,X,test_size=.2, train_size=.8)

my_model.fit(X_train, y_train)

For reference:
y_train.shape = (84314,), X_train.shape = (337256,).

A: Use X as:

Parental Monitoring Software: Why Parents Struggle Without Itadmin2020-02-11T18:02:07+00:00
Parental Monitoring Software: Why Parents Struggle Without It
Parents today have a greater connection with their children than ever before. Sometimes it is not deemed necessary by parents to use parental monitoring software for Android and iPhone. Within the family, the hierarchy seems to be disappearing, being replaced by a structure that creates a more equal status for parents and children.
Kids' Parents Are Their Best Friends
With the level of connectivity offered by the web, it is no wonder that parents and kids lead a relationship more akin to friendship than any other. Most parents today report that their style of parenting, on a daily basis, became more like they are their children's peers rather than parents.
They have similar interests online and in reality that they talk about or participate in together. Let me give an example. A parent and their kid love the same Netflix show. They make it a weekly ritual to watch an episode of the series every Friday night and talk about it afterwards.
Navigating The New Parenting Environment
There are still challenges that parents must hurdle in today's digital age, even if the new parenting terrain. These classic challenges become even more overwhelming for the unprepared parent in the digital era. Because of the changes in the world that surrounds them, kids and parents must push through the unknown and learn how to find the correct way to face the new realities of raising kids today.
There's plenty to learn, and parents are hard-pressed to keep their heads above water while trying to keep their kids safe without seeming overly bossy. They also need to make their kids aware of all the troubling events without making them feel compromised or afraid. And they have to filter the sheer amount of content, both bad and good, so they maintain their kids' mental and physical health in a world where this is no longer of any importance.
The challenge of leading today's generation of young kids through a very complex early life and childhood puts parents through the grinder as they struggle to find ways to raise well-rounded kids.
Looking Hard At The Truth
Due to the advent of the internet, content that was once the domain of "Adults Only" are now accessible to any kid with internet connection. Sensitive subjects and other adult-oriented content can be accessed through YouTube, Facebook, and other social media, and even through Google without any filters. Consequentially, this has created a situation where it is almost impossible for parents to shield their children from adult-oriented content including politics, pornography or violence. And now, because of their new role as "besties", many of these parents are forced to be more open, transparent, and honest in their conversations with their children.
All of these are problems and issues that can weigh heavily on the parents and their sense of responsibility towards their kids. These issues – such as screen addiction, overtesting on standardized exams, online security, school violence, and bullying – expose children to a harsh reality that most are not ready to accept or understand. And now, with the rise of cultural and gender sensitivity topics, and countries being aggressive and hostile towards one another, it's no wonder that children are becoming more confused than ever.
Parents Are Their Kids' Digital Support Team
Parents need to find a balance between what they can and can't teach their children. They need to discern the times when they need to be honest and transparent with their children and when they should just be quiet.
Most kids today have their own mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, and they have access to the internet. And it is the parents' responsibility to determine which information the kid is ready for and which should be filtered out.
There are plenty of powerful and reliable apps that can shield the children from age-inappropriate content and other dangers and issues that we have discussed above. One of the most powerful is Auto Forward, as it has many of the features that individual monitoring apps packed into one amazing package. It lets parents track which websites their kids have accessed and what their activities were on those sites or on social media. Auto Forward can also access emails, text messages and calls, perfect for keeping children away from bullies and predators targeting them. It can also track the whereabouts of the phone, and hence the child, so the parent knows where she is at all times.
Auto Forward is not like the other monitoring apps in the sense that it only costs a one-time fee for the parent to have a lifetime license for using the app. The updates are absolutely free of charge, and the interface is quick and responsive. Plus, it comes with other features not mentioned above. Interested? Visit this website now https://auto-forward.com/ to learn about the best monitoring app around!

Starlink: Battle for Atlas was One of Ubisoft's Weakest Launches Ever for a New IP
The Publisher's Ambitious Sci-Fi Toy Game Failed to Find an Audience Online
October 26, 2018	by	Paul Curtin
Before the disastrous launch of No Man's Sky two years ago, Ubisoft's idea to join the space race and create a similar game in the genre seemed like a great idea when they began work on Starlink: Battle for Atlas.
The publisher/developer's strategy of teaming up with Nintendo to take the NMS formula, add in iconic characters from the Star Fox franchise, and even create their own physical collectors' items had the potential to surpass the success of Activision's Skylanders and even Nintendo's own Amiibos.
But after all the drama of NMS, it looks like gamers of all ages have had their fix of space exploration games for now. And Ubisoft's weak attempt at marketing Starlink has resulted in them failing to capture the younger audience they were betting on before Fortnite exploded in popularity.
Last week's launch of Starlink was one of Ubisoft's worst ever for a new IP, debuting at #16 on Twitch with a peak of only 7k concurrent viewers. And over the past week, the game's numbers have only gotten worse with literally nobody streaming or watching the game at certain hours throughout each day on Twitch.
Such little interest in a new franchise is certainly not what Ubisoft was hoping for with Starlink, especially not after their recent successful launch of Assassin's Creed Odyssey that broke records and had over 100k concurrent viewers on Twitch earlier this month.
Although not technically a first-party Nintendo game, Ubisoft's new take on Fox and friends came nowhere close to topping the recent successful launches of other new Nintendo Switch games such as Super Mario Party (52k viewers), Mario Tennis Aces (56k viewers), or even Ubisoft's previous collaboration with Nintendo, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (46k viewers).
Sales for Starlink are also being reported as underwhelming, matching the lower viewer counts with the game debuting at #14 on the UK entertainment software charts. And while Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (508k viewers) took the #1 spot again, it was actually the week's other new release, Lego DC Super-Villains, that proved to be Starlink's biggest competition.
Launching on the same day as Starlink and geared towards the same younger player base, the latest Lego game debuted at #6 on the UK charts. Mirroring the sales, viewer counts for WB's DC game nearly doubled Starlink with a peak of 13k concurrent viewers on Twitch.
With generally favorable reviews, Ubisoft's poor marketing of Starlink: Battle for Atlas can be blamed for its failed attempt to capture the attention of gamers. None of Twitch's top streamers were willing to give the game a chance, which is surprising, considering that most are gamers who grew up playing Star Fox and the revival of the beloved character should have been an easy win for Ubisoft.

How work became the millennial religion of choice
More young people are defining themselves by what they do–and who they work for.
[Photos: cjwhitewine/iStock; monkeybusinessimages/iStock]
By Jared Lindzon 5 minute Read
How do you describe yourself to someone new? What's the first thing you tell them?
You probably start with your name, but it's safe to assume your job title or employer is going to come soon after, especially if you're under the age of 40.
As young people move away from religion, many are now deriving their sense of community, meaning, and self-identity from their work. According to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, 83% of Americans over the age of 40 have some sort of religious affiliation, and 57% say religion is very important to their lives. At the same time, only 66% of those under the age of 40 are affiliated with a religious institution, and only 51% say religion is very important to their lives.
According to Jobvite's annual Job Seeker Nation survey, 42% of American workers define themselves by the jobs they perform and/or the companies they work for, and that number rises to 45% among those under the age of 40. Furthermore, of the 42% who say that they define themselves through their work, 65% say it's "very important" to who they are as people.

"We have spiritual lives, we have physical lives, we like to have intellectual stimuli in our lives, we have our communities and our families and friends; humans are complex, and to have a really healthy balance, it requires all of those components," says Rachel Bitte, Jobvite's chief people officer. "Expecting all of that to come from your work could be an unrealistic expectation."
It was never supposed to be like this
For the vast majority of human history, work was generally considered a burden and a means to an end, while leisure was considered not only the reward of work, but the basis of culture and society. As a result, many predicted that individual wealth would lead to more leisure time, while societal wealth would decrease the length of the workday, eventually eliminating it entirely.
Instead, the exact opposite happened. In 1980, the highest earners worked the fewest hours, but by 2005, the richest 10% of married men worked the most hours on average, according to research compiled by Atlantic staff writer Derek Thompson for a recent article, "Workism Is Making Americans Miserable."
"I was always curious about this phenomenon; why were the rich choosing to buy more work, given that they can buy whatever they want?" Thompson tells Fast Company. "It occurred to me that they were placing work at the top of the pedestal, and this group of American elites, who is among the most secular cohorts of American history, had essentially replaced an old-fashioned definition of God with a new definition of God, which was work."
Thompson adds that this concept of pursuing passion through work can be beneficial to many–and he includes himself among them–but a majority aren't able to pursue meaningful work, and the expectations placed on work are often unrealistic.
"We expect to realize our full humanity in work, within the job, rather than other parts of life. That is new," says Benjamin Hunnicutt, professor of leisure studies at the University of Iowa and author of Free Time: The Forgotten American Dream.
Hunnicutt adds that the fear of automation replacing human labor would have been unimaginable to the philosophers and thinkers who questioned the meaning of work throughout history. "Before, the promise of technology was labor-saving devices," he says. "Now it frightens us. We can't imagine an alternative to work."
Hunnicutt adds that many of history's thinkers eagerly looked forward to a future where machines did our work for us, freeing us up to focus on the more important things. Wealth, in other words–at both a societal and individual level–was supposed to provide us with the luxury of not having to work.
A society built on work cannot stand
Some might consider a society built around work to have advantages over a society that considers work a burden, and that the former would be more inclusive and open than one based on religion. Thompson says that given the choice between "workism" and the religious societies of old, he would choose "workism every day of the week, and twice on Sundays," but adds that it shouldn't necessarily be one or the other.
Hunnicutt, however, fears that a society based around work is inherently flawed and bound to fail, as it prioritizes short-term individual gains over long-term, shared prosperity.
"Work by definition, in the marketplace–which is a place of competition–is hard as a place it seems to me for cooperation, for generosity and giving, for realizing our full humanity," he says. "By definition, even the best of our jobs are about competition, of outdoing the people around us."
A society that praises work, according to Hunnicutt, is ruthless in its regard for both the natural world and for others, and studies suggest it's the culprit behind a range of negative trends afflicting millennials and workers more broadly.
Recent studies have found that employee stress levels rose nearly 20% in the last three decades, and a majority feel that work is having a negative impact on their personal relationships. Today, 8 in 10 Americans are afflicted by stress, according to a recent Gallup survey, which suggests one of the primary causes is work.
Furthermore, the National Institute of Mental Health found that more than 7% of American adults and 13% of those aged 18 to 25 experienced a major depressive episode in 2017. Workplace-related stress has also been linked to less sex, more loneliness, and higher rates of career burnout among millennials.
"I'm not a psychologist, but I do think that self-centeredness that is at the heart of work–being a self-made man or woman–is alienating," says Hunnicutt. "It separates us from nature, from other people, from beauty, from God; we become profoundly alone."
Social media is the problem–and maybe a solution
Many believe social media to be a significant cause of alienation and stress among young people.
"Keeping up with the Joneses isn't just about the neighbor next door anymore; it's about thousands of your classmates and what they're doing with their lives post-graduation," says Bitte. "I think that people have found that social media can not only be a way of bragging about your job, but can become an extension of your job," adds Thompson.
Hunnicutt, however, sees a silver lining. While comparing yourself to your peers once promoted the pursuit of material wealth, social media has made real-life experiences the primary status symbol for younger generations.
"As people turn their attention from tangible wealth to life experiences–and more importantly to personal transformations–that's going to be a possible avenue to an 'age of experiences,'" says Hunnicutt. "If that's a status symbol, I have no problem with that."

Michael C Keith real life stories short stories
Sheila tries to drown his sorrows, but barman Scotty is concerned for her welfare in Michael C Keith's quick story.
There is something that excites compassion.
- Sydney Smith
Sheila strutted into Mac's gin mill, her musty fox stole hanging from her shoulder.
"Hey, Sheila, where you been? Haven't seen you in a few," said Scotty, the barkeep.
"Oh, you know, here and there. A girl's got to stay busy."
"Doin' what, hon?" asked Scotty, with a knowing wink.
"Never you mind. It's not that interesting after you've done it a while."
Scotty placed Sheila's regular before her, and she emptied the glass of her favorite 100 proof Scotch in one swift gulp.
"Well, you sure ain't lost your taste for it. You can hammer 'em back. I'll give you that."
"You've never seen anyone like ol' Sheila, eh? So hit me again, Scotty. Had a hard night."
"You keep this up and you're gonna have a harder day."
Scotty refilled Sheila's shot glass and noticed a black and blue mark under a layer of makeup next to her left eye.
"Looks like you came up short in the ring," he said, pointing to Sheila's face.
Sheila downed her drink and pushed her empty glass in Scotty's direction.
"Really? You got to be kidding me. Another one of those and you'll have a matching bruise after you hit the floor."
"Just do what you're paid to do, Scotty... okay?"
"I ain't paid to kill people, but it's your funeral, lady," said Scotty, refilling Sheila's glass.
"I'm fine. Don't feel a damn thing. You watering down this stuff?"
"Just a little, but not enough to make a real difference," admitted Scotty, with a cagy grin.
"Mac is such a freaking skinflint. Charges more than he should for drinks and then dilutes them. That's low."
"Hey, you know Mac. If he can squeeze a penny more out of something, he'll do it."
"Why do you work for the cheap bastard?"
"Mac's okay. Just tight with a buck."
"Yeah, I like the jerk, too. By the way, where the hell is he?"
"Goes to noon Mass every day."
"That's right. I forgot he's a Jesus freak."
Sheila swallowed the contents of her glass and again slid it over to Scotty.
"After this one, I'm cutting you off."
"Yeah, right. I'm touched by your concern for my welfare. Keep 'em coming, sonny."
"Look, if you get hurt or someone else because you got all liquored up here, it's big trouble for us. I should have cut you off after your second drink. Never seen anybody slam back four of these and still stay standing."
"You live a sheltered life, Scotty," said Sheila, polishing off her fourth drink.
"Yeah, I never get out of this cave."
"Mac's got you by the balls, hon. You can do better than this joint. How come you gave up the magic act? I remember seeing you over at Ruby's Place a few years back. You were pretty good."
"Got tired of fooling people with cheap tricks. And Ruby got tired of me doing them and dumped me. Couldn't find any work doing old sleight-of-hand routines."
"So now you serve watered-down drinks for Mac. Good career move."
"Hey, it's a living."
"One more, Scotty, and I'll leave. Promise," said Sheila, holding up her empty glass.
"You're crazy. This stuff would knock Godzilla on his ass. Christ, you have a high threshold for booze. You are something."
"I am... ain't I? Never underestimate the power of a real lady, Scotty."
"Okay, this is it! I mean it"
"Ahh..." mumbled Sheila slamming back her final drink. "Okay, I'm going to my next john... er, job."
As Sheila climbed from her stool, she weaved and had to clutch the bar for support.
"Whoa! Okay, maybe I do feel a little bit woozy, but not enough to keep me from doing what I got to. Take more than the swill you serve to put ol' Sheila on her back. At least, 100 bucks," she chuckled and winked.
After she left the bar, a patron who had observed what had occurred questioned the bartender.
"Why'd you keep feeding her drinks? I never saw anybody down that much alcohol in thirty minutes and still be able to walk... or move, for that matter."
Scotty began to laugh. "She's fine. Didn't drink what she thought."
"Huh?"
"Gave her ArKay Scotch."
"It's non-alcoholic booze."
"Why'd you do that, buddy?"
"Keep her from getting in trouble. You got to look out for a gal like Sheila. Besides, she paid a wad for a sawbuck's worth of drinks."
"You're a real saint."
"No, just a former magician."

I like the little quotes at the beginning of each of your stories. In this case it helped set the stage and got me reading. The well written dialogue kept me involved and I ejoyed the light "twist," if you will, at the end that plays back to the quote with a "sleight of hand". ;-)
That was a fun turn at the end. The banter was amusing and I'm glad my liking for Scotty paid off.
--Wendy Hammer
as above nice verbal exchanges, barman with a heart of Gold
Michael McCarthy
I read this with joy, fun and an ear for the lively dialogue, and like a good drink, enjoyed the last drop.
Tim Macy February 27, 2014 at 7:05 PM
Very strong dialogue throughout. I had to really stop and consider whether I liked the barkeep at the end--the best characters walk the line. Well done.
Abby July 4, 2014 at 5:37 PM
Agreed that the dialog is great! It's something that I struggle with myself, so lots of admiration your way :)

Hey, there's a new review of Storm Chaser!
My very first published work, if you don't include my newspaper stuff. Wow … that was five years ago, six since Storm Chaser was accepted for publication—and now there are ten books on my Amazon author page. No wonder I'm so tired.
You are building a fine body of work!
Well, I hope it's more successful than when I was younger and trying to build a fine body. That one didn't work so well!

Appalachian Spring, One of Reston Town Center's First Tenants, Officially Closes
Fatimah Waseem February 7, 2018 at 2:30pm
It's official: Appalachian Spring, one of the first tenants in Reston Town Center, has shuttered its doors.
The handcrafted gifts and handmade jewelry store opened its Reston location in 1990.
The company is shifting its focus to its Rockville location after the store on 11877 Market Street officially closed on Jan. 24, a company representative told Reston Now.
When the closure was first made public, the store's president told Reston Now that customer traffic dipped considerably over the last few months.
Paid parking, which was instituted last year, was a common complaint by customers, he said.

Hi Score Girl Anime Gets A New TV Spot
Posted by Samantha Ferreira | Jun 16, 2018 | News Reporting |
Tags: hi score girl, j.c. staff, promo video, tv spot
Ah, the '90s… when the scores were high and street fighters ate lasers. Or something.
Earlier today, the official Hi Score Girl anime website updated with a new TV spot. The 15-second spot features opening theme song New Stranger as a background track.
Hi Score Girl will hit Japanese TV on July 13. The full broadcast schedule is as follows:
Tokyo MX: 7/13/2018 at 24:30 (7/14/2018 at 12:30AM)
BS11: 7/13/2018 at 24:30 (7/14/2018 at 12:30AM)
MBS: 7/13/2018 at 26:55 (7/14/2018 at 2:55AM)
Yoshiki Yamakawa (B: The Beginning, Hells) was tapped to direct the project at J.C. Staff, with Michiru Kuwabata (Danchi Tomoo, Penguin no Mondai) providing character designs. Tatsuhiko Urahata (GATE, Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere) is in charge of series composition.
Composer Yoko Shimomura (Street Fighter II, Kingdom Hearts, Xenoblade Chronicles) is scoring the show's soundtrack. sora tob sakana will perform opening theme song New Stranger.
The confirmed voice cast includes:
Haruo Yaguchi: Kōhei Amasaki
Akira Ōno: Sayumi Suzushiro
Koharu Hidaka: Yūki Hirose
Chihiro Onizuka: Daria Midō
Elementary School Homeroom Teacher: Tomokazu Sugita
Genta Doi: Daiki Yamashita
Jiiya: Chō
Koharu's Father: Taketora
Kōtarō Miyao: Kazuyuki Okitsu
Makoto Ōno: Chinatsu Akasaki
Moemi Gōda: Shizuka Itou
Namie Yaguchi: Satomi Arai
Narrator: Houchu Ohtsuka
Tōno-sensei: Kana Ueda
Numata-sensei: Yūichi Nakamura
Guile-san: Hiroki Yasumoto
The eighth volume of the Hi Score Girl anime hit Japanese retailers on March 24. An anime adaptation was originally announced in 2013, though progress was stalled due to legal concerns. Volume 9 will ship to stores on June 25.
The Hi Score Girl manga was pulled from publication in 2014, following an incident in which the Osaka police department's Consumer and Economic Crime Division searched the offices of Square Enix's headquarters, as well as locations linked to the publisher.
Game publisher SNK alleged that the Hi Score Girl manga contained over 100 instances of unauthorized uses of characters from various SNK-Playmore properties. The King of Fighters and Samurai Spirits were among the named properties. Moreover, the end notes of compiled volumes contained a copyright notice that includes SNK, complete with the © mark, which implies that some form of consent was granted for the characters' usage.
SNK alleged that they found out about the infringements in the summer of 2013, when a Tokyo-based production company approached SNK for permission to use their properties in an anime adaptation of the title.
SNK Playmore formally filed a formal complaint in May 2014. According to Article 119, Section 1 of the Copyright Law of Japan, such a filing required the company to press criminal charges. According to SNK, the company repeatedly requested that Square Enix stop publishing the title, both in collected volumes and in print, though Square Enix never gave a real response to the matter.
In October 2014, Square Enix filed counter-suit against SNK Playmore, claiming that Square was willing to reveal that SNK's claims were invalid. The charges were officially settled between the two parties on August 24, 2015, when SNK Playmore officially filed documents in the Osaka District Court dropping its criminal charges.
The Hi Score Girl manga returned to publication in Square Enix's Monthly Big Gangan magazine in July 2016.
Rensuke Oshikiri's Hi Score Girl launched in Monthly Big Gangan in 2010. To date, seven volumes have been released, with volume 8 hitting stores on March 24. Manga resource Baka-Updates describes the title as:
The year is 1991 and 6th grader Yaguchi Haruo only has video games to live for. He's not popular in school and he's neither handsome, funny, nice nor even friendly. The only thing he has going for him is that he is good at video games. One day at the local arcade, he plays Oono Akira, a fellow classmate but who's popular, smart, pretty and a rich girl that absolutely destroys him at Street Fighter II. Not only does he lose to her 30 times in a row, he can't beat her at any game. Haruo can't seem to shake Akira off as she follows him from arcade to arcade everyday after school and beats him every time. As weird as it sounds, the odd pair begins a strange bond and friendship.

American administration led by Democrat President Biden will not stop playing games. After arming Iran and Iraq in the past and thus creating a problem for everyone, now they are arming Khalifa Erdogan of Turkey.
Turkey is a huge supporter of Pakistan and anti India and carries out ruthless human rights violation of Kurdish people. It also is in forceful occupation of nearly 50 % of Cyprus and has been threatening Greece no end.
So vigilant US congressional critics, are set to vote on a bipartisan measure to restrict President Joe Biden's ability to sell Lockheed Martin-made F-16 fighter jets to Turkey that this so called NATO country had been demanding for more than a year. Democrats are seeking a majority congressional approval to finalize the $20 billion sale with an additional next-generation F-35 warplanes sale to Ankara's geopolitical rival Greece…..what a grand GAME even surpassing the old British !!!!!
Turkey wants to upgrade its existing F-16 fleet with 40 new Lockheed Martin-made Viper class F-16 fighter jets and 80 modernization kits. But the US Congress had been wary of Turkey's hostile rhetoric against its ally Athens and created hurdles to the sales with a clause that would restrict their use. It will not be a big surprise if some of the modernization kits quietly end up with Pakistan to upgrade its vintage F16. A few years back one of the Pakistani F16 had been shot down in a duel with Indian MiG-21, which should have been phased out by the IAF, atleast a decade back.
Turkey which somehow became a NATO member, has been seeking to assert its air superiority and counter military build-up over the Greek Aegean island that lies in close proximity to Turkey's coastline. It is also seeking to procure 900 air-to-air missiles and 800 bombs, officials familiar with the details reportedly confirm. Turkey, in a geopolitical rift with Greece, warned it to stop militarizing the Aegean islands, threatening that it "will take the necessary steps on the ground." Athens threatens Turkey with "another Ukraine situation" if it didn't stop inflammatory rhetoric. In fact after Turkey's full support to Pakistan, now India is in full support of Greece.
At a joint press conference with his Romanian counterpart Bogdan Aurescu in Ankara, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, warned that Turkey can no longer "remain silent about the disarmament of the islands." "Either Greece takes a step back, or we do what is necessary," he retorted, adding that Athens must abide by the Treaty of Lausanne. The two countries have been at odds for decades despite being NATO members.
Cavusoglu, in an earlier interview with private broadcaster Haber Global TV, had also condemned the Congressional hurdles in the United States, saying that Ankara "would not agree to buy a product in a way that could tie our hands."
"Why should we buy a product that we can't use?" Cavusoglu hit back at the dissenting US lawmakers. Erdogan, in turn, denounced the deal opposing lawmakers saying that Biden "must not fall for the 'games' being played."
Turkey had also threatened Washington that it would buy the fighter jets from Russia should the stalled deal fail to finalise. The United States is not the only country selling warplanes in the world. "The UK, France, and Russia sell them as well," Erdogan said in an angst-laden tone at a presser. "It's possible to procure them from other places, and others are sending us signals," he warned. The sale of F-16 fighter planes strained ties between Ankara and Washington, despite that US President Joe Biden expressed his administration's support for the deal with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The approximately $1.4 billion deal was proposed after the United States unilaterally ousted Ankara from the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program in 2019 after it received a "regiment" of the S-400 missile defence system from Moscow.
US House and Senate reached an agreement on the annual defence policy bill, Fiscal 2023 National Defence Authorization Act, or NDAA in December that removed the articles that restricted the F-16 sale to Ankara. The bill would enable a swift finalization of the sale that Turkey welcomed, saying that it would be "in everyone's interest." "We knew before [the bill's text became public] that the two [conditions attached to the sale] were removed from the final text," Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, said at a press conference in Moldova. "What is important now is to finalize the process as soon as possible … which will be in everyone's interests," he insisted.
Some US lawmakers, however, have opposed the sale calling out at Turkey's alleged belligerence. "How do you reward a nation that does all of those things?" Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) said in a Politico interview. "I don't see it. Now, if they want to start changing their ways, that's a different story," he noted. Biden's sale of fighter jets is critical for United States national security, the lawmakers maintain, speculating that the jets will be used to violate Greece's airspace. Other lawmakers, who oppose the sale, have condemned Biden for neglecting Ankara's "antagonistic actions."
Turkey's acquiescence of the F-16 fighter jets might expedite the accession of Finland and Sweden to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, which Ankara has blocked over objections to its ties with Kurdistan Workers' Party or PKK offshoots in Syria. If approved, the deal will coincide with Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu's visit to Washington, next week.

The all new 2019 California kit was inspired by the Golden States Great Agricultural history with of course the splash of Italian style. Two contrasting legends dominate the telling of California's agricultural history. The first extols California farmers as some of the most progressive, and early adopters of modern Agricultural technologies, to make a desert landscape bloom, through cooperation, and passion for what they do. Therefore, we felt that it was only fitting to have the Green colors dominate this new kit! Order yours and be a part of our great history!

* Michail Chekhov, master-teacher in Acting I?
Chekhov writes in his book To the Actor: "… the real task of the creative artist is not merely to copy the outer appearance of life, to interpret life in all its facets and profoundness, to show what is behind the phenomena of life, to let the spectator look beyond life's surfaces and meanings."
Chekhov answered to his Lithuanian student, Kasimiera Kymantaite: "Why is it that I am wandering around the world? I want to hand over a small key to the magic of the theatre."

Commedia Dell'arte: An Actor's Handbook by John Rudlin; Routledge, 1994
The inspirational actor is content to rely exclusively on his own mood. He refuses to bend his will to the discipline of technique. The inspirational actor proudly claims to have rekindled the flame of improvisation in the theatre. In his naïveté he imagines that his improvisations have something in common with the improvisations of traditional Italian comedy. He does not realise the improvisations of commedia dell'arte have a firm basis of faultless technique. The inspirational actor totally rejects technique of any kind. 'Technique hinders creative freedom' is what he always says. MEYERHOLD

Playwrights and Acting: Acting Methodologies for Brecht, Ionesco, Pinter, and Shepard by James H. McTeague; Greenwood Press, 1994
... Bertolt Brecht was already an established playwright of international stature when he completed and published his Short Organum in 1948. He was a recognized iconoclast whose plays and theatrical statements took exception to the prevailing theatre of realism. He had advocated in his many observations radical changes in the form and aesthetic of the theatre and, because he was particularly concerned with the manner in which audiences perceived and experienced a play, he was necessarily concerned about acting. His views toward the actor and acting expressed in the Short Organum were met with violent opposition from supporters of the Stanistavsky system, while they were embraced by some who clearly failed to grasp critical aspects of Brecht's admittedly underdeveloped manifesto.

Moscow on the Potomac: Studio Theatre Takes a New Look at an Old Country Magazine article by Celia Wren; American Theatre, Vol. 22, March 2005
Meyerhold and His Set Designers by Marjorie L. Hoover. 276 pgs. out of print
The Theater of Meyerhold and Brecht by Katherine Bliss Eaton. 148 pgs.
"Vsevolod E. Meyerhold was born in Russia in 1874, the son of prosperous German parents. His career as a theatrical innovator began in 1903 and ended with his arrest in 1939. Well before the October Revolution, when Bertolt Brecht, the "Einstein of the new stage form," was still a boy, Meyerhold was known to St. Petersburg audiences as "the man with the new ideas." 1 Some of those ideas closely anticipated the theory and practice of Brecht. Most notable are those stylistic innovations used to destroy the realistic stage convention, such as film projections, posters which comment on or announce the action, interpolation of dances and songs, grotesque costuming, emphasis on stage movement and exaggerated gestures, abstract or highly simplified stage settings, and the training of actors as artistically and socially conscious performers. Beyond the fact that Brecht and Meyerhold were conditioned by the same revolutionary milieu, believed in a non-illusionistic art which serves humanity, and were attracted to similar elements in the traditional theaters of the Orient and the West, there were important historical connections which can illuminate any comparison of their dramatic theory and practice."
"Meyerhold's first attempt at non-representational staging occurred in 1903 with his production of Przybyszewski Snow and von Schцnthan The Acrobats, staged by his own troupe, The Fellowship of the New Drama, a group he organized after his departure from the Moscow Art Theater in 1902.
In general, Meyerhold's experiments from 1903 to about 1908 represent his attempts to find methods of staging Symbolist drama. 2 The productions of his Symbolist period used colors, to establish a mood and symbolize the essence of a character or event, and music, to intensify that mood. It was a slow-motion theater of carefully orchestrated poses and ritualistic gestures, enacted upon a shallow stage against a flat, monotonal background which made the actors look like figures carved in low relief.
Meyerhold began to experiment consistently with new forms from 1905."
CONCLUSIONS: A TROJAN HORSE
The fame of the German poet-playwright-director-theoretician Bertolt Brecht now surpasses the reputation of his older contemporary, the Russian director and theoretician Vsevolod Meyerhold. Yet this was not always the case. From the early years of the twentieth century until about 1940, Meyerhold was the most famous living theater worker in the West. The two ideas that form the basis of Brecht's theoretical work--the idea that a dramatic performance should be a fully conscious creation of all concerned (playwright, actors, directors, spectators) and the idea of theater as a force for social betterment--are found in Meyerhold's letters written in the late 1890s. This is not to say that he was the "inventor" of such concepts. These things were "in the air," as Piscator put it, and of course have a long history. But Meyerhold in his time surpassed his contemporaries in his ability to combine certain esthetic and political ideas and transfer them successfully to the stage.
Diderot in his Paradoxe sur le comйdien ( 1773/78) pointed out that the stage does not and should not reflect nature and, for very practical reasons, opposed the emotional actor who identifies with a role. Empathy makes an actor give very unequal performances: "full of fire at the first performance, he would be worn out and cold as marble at the third." On the other hand, the actor who acts cold-bloodedly would always be at his best, because he would be working artfully. Where Brecht parted company with Diderot, however, was in the ultimate goal of such rational acting. The Encyclopedist believed that the purpose of a cool performance is to counterfeit emotion, the better to deceive the spectators and arouse in them emotions which the actors themselves do not feel.

In An Acrobat of the Heart, teacher-director-playwright Stephen Wangh reveals how Jerzy Grotowski's physical exercises can open a pathway to the actor's inner creativity. Drawing on Grotowski's insights and on the work of Stanislavski, Uta Hagen, and others, Wangh bridges the gap between rigorous physical training and practical scene and character technique. Wangh's students give candid descriptions of their struggles and breakthroughs, demonstrating how to transform these remarkable lessons into a personal journey of artistic growth.

• The Fall and Rise of Meyer Holo
Magazine article by David Chambers, Nikolai Pesochinsky; American Theatre, Vol. 17, January 2000
"The Meyerhold Project is a co-venture between the Yale School of Drama and the St. Petersburg Academy of Theatre Arts in Russia. Begun in 1995, the project is dedicated to reawakening the tragically silenced voice of Vsevolod Meyerhold, the brilliant theatre artist who is arguably the greatest stage director of the 20th century. Rightfully compared to Picasso, Meyerhold was little known in the West, and after his Stalin-ordered execution in 1940, his name was deleted from the artistic record... "
Meyerhold does not believe in scenic realism. What good is it to reproduce the life on scene? It is necessary to put before the THEATRICALNESS OF the THEATRE , to create a universe independent of reality, a world of signs to which the public gives direction! It preaches a STYLIZED PLAY which, instead of imitating the life, proposes an interpretation of it.
The witness accepts the codes of theatrical convention, while being always conscious that it is with the theatre. It is what Meyerhold calls the THEATRE OF CONSCIOUS CONVENTION.
TO BUILD The THEATRICAL BUILDING ON A PSYCHOLOGICAL BASIS AMOUNTS BUILDING A HOUSE ON SAND!
Since the creative inspiration does not flood the actor miraculeusement every evening at 8 hours, it is necessary RELIABLE TOOLS for him on which to support its play!
This is why Meyerhold proposes to build the play on something of concrete: PHYSICAL ACTIONS. That requires that the actor knows his body extremely well, and it reaches that point thanks to biomechanics.
The ANALOGY WITH The MACHINE
Meyerhold considers the actor as a workman who must be most effective possible. It joined in that the principles of Taylorism, theory aiming at the labour productivity. The body is a mechanics which the actor must learn how to know and control, to give to its play solid physical anchorings. If the emotion occurs later on, so much better, but it is not necessary! Any psychological state is conditioned by physiological processes. If the actor knows what it does, then the witness includes/understands what it sees.
THE MAGIC FORMULA
N = A1 + A2
Actor (N) = Constructor (A1) which gives orders to its material, the body (A2)
The body of the actor is the puppet of his spirit!

Artistic current which preaches the scientific and plastic bases of art, like its social role. The decorations of Meyerhold, truffés of scaffolding and gears, are an eloquent example. The scene is a large machine whose actor exploits the multiple possibilities, vêtu of the overall of work meyerholdienne: the prozadejda
THE GROTESQUE ONE
Theatricalness is born from the grotesque one, i.e. of the tension between the opposites, contrast between the familiar one and the strange one, the ugly one and sublimates it. Tragedy and comic at the same time, the grotesque one is what makes it possible to transform into one moment a funeral procession presses some in festival. Meyerhold raffole of the dynamics which it generates!
This theatre isn't it likely formal and to be deprived of emotions?
MEYERHOLD : On the contrary! The emotion is not the base of the play, but it can emerge freely, as well in the actor as at the witness, according to the interpretation which they make of the external codes!
Literally, it is the mechanics of the alive one!
Biomechanics, that Meyerhold starts to develop in 1920, is a supposed DRIVE to sharpen the reflexes of the actor. It is a motion study, rate/rhythm, which considers the body like a MACHINE.
Biomechanics includes/understands various exercises which make it possible to tame the laws of the movement: the slap, the skater, the shooting with the arc, the throw of a stone, the stab, etc. Each exercise is cut out in precise sequences, and each movement is composed of three phases:
1) intention
2) action
3) reaction
L ' OTKAZ indicates the moment of suspension between the end of a movement and the beginning of another, the dynamic point of tension between two contrary forces. One names also otkaz the gesture with misinterpretation which makes it possible to give the impulse to the following movement: for example, retreat before advancing, the inflection before rising or the dash which the hand takes before slapping.

High Tech and Literacy
Feb 26, 2008 Published under Art, Innovation, Media and Alternative Media, Science and Technology
I often worry about how the recent technological changes will affect society. I particularly am concerned about the impacts of constant-feedback-technology (blackberry, cell, email, voicemail, sms, i.m, – you need input, input, input – like the robot in the movie Short Circuit). Will attention-span-disorder (like I have) become a regular feature of society? Will today's kids be able to think strategically and long-term?
Some worry about how technology and the advent of the internet will decrease literacy. People will stop reading books and newspapers. But the article below provides a really interesting different angle on how tech evolution will just create different opportunities.
The End of Literacy? Don't Stop Reading.
By Howard Gardner
Sunday, February 17, 2008; B01
What will happen to reading and writing in our time?
Could the doomsayers be right? Computers, they maintain, are destroying literacy. The signs — students' declining reading scores, the drop in leisure reading to just minutes a week, the fact that half the adult population reads no books in a year — are all pointing to the day when a literate American culture becomes a distant memory. By contract, optimists foresee the Internet ushering in a new, vibrant participatory culture of words. Will they carry the day?
Maybe neither. Let me suggest a third possibility: Literacy — or an ensemble of literacies — will continue to thrive, but in forms and formats we can't yet envision.
That's what has always happened as writing and reading have evolved over the ages. It was less than 100,000 years ago that our human predecessors first made meaningful marks on surfaces, notating the phases of the moon or drawing animals on cave walls. Within the past 5,000 years, societies across the Near East's Fertile Crescent began to use systems of marks to record important trade exchanges as well as pivotal events in the present and the past. These marks gradually became less pictorial, and a decisive leap occurred when they began to capture certain sounds reliably: U kn red ths sntnz cuz Inglsh feechurs "graphic-phoneme correspondences."
A master of written Greek, Plato feared that written language would undermine human memory capacities (much in the same way that we now worry about similar side effects of "Googling"). But libraries made the world's knowledge available to anyone who could read. The 15th-century printing press disturbed those who wanted to protect and interpret the word of God, but the availability of Bibles in the vernacular allowed laypeople to take control of their spiritual lives and, if historians are correct, encouraged entrepreneurship in commerce and innovation in science.
In the past 150 years, each new medium of communication — telegraph, telephone, movies, radio, television, the digital computer, the World Wide Web — has introduced its own peculiar mix of written, spoken and graphic languages and evoked a chaotic chorus of criticism and celebration.
But of the changes in the media landscape over the past few centuries, those featuring digital media are potentially the most far-reaching. Those of us who grew up in the 1950s, at a time when there were just a few computers in the world, could never have anticipated the ubiquity of personal computers (back then, IBM's Thomas Watson famously declared that there'd be a market for perhaps five computers in the world!). A mere half-century later, more than a billion people can communicate via e-mail, chat rooms and instant messaging; post their views on a blog; play games with millions of others worldwide; create their own works of art or theater and post them on YouTube; join political movements; and even inhabit, buy, sell and organize in a virtual reality called Second Life. No wonder the chattering classes can't agree about what this all means.
Here's my take.
Once we ensured our basic survival, humans were freed to pursue other needs and desires, including the pleasures of communicating, forming friendships, convincing others of our point of view, exercising our imagination, enjoying a measure of privacy. Initially, we pursued these needs with our senses, our hands and our individual minds. Human and mechanical technologies to help us were at a premium. It's easy to see how the emergence of written languages represented a boon. The invention of the printing press and the emergence of readily available books, magazines and newspapers allowed untold millions to extend their circle, expand their minds and expound their pet ideas.
For those of us of a 19th- or 20th-century frame of mind, books play a special, perhaps even spiritual, role. Works of fiction — the writings of Jane Austen, Leo Tolstoy, Toni Morrison, William Faulkner — allow us to inhabit fascinating worlds we couldn't have envisioned. Works of scholarship — the economic analyses of Karl Marx and John Maynard Keynes, the histories of Thucydides and Edward Gibbon — provide frameworks for making sense of the past and the present.
But now, at the start of the 21st century, there's a dizzying set of literacies available — written languages, graphic displays and notations. And there's an even broader array of media — analog, digital, electronic, hand-held, tangible and virtual — from which to pick and choose. There will inevitably be a sorting-out process. Few media are likely to disappear completely; rather, the idiosyncratic genius and peculiar limitations of each medium will become increasingly clear. Fewer people will write notes or letters by hand, but the elegant handwritten note to mark a special occasion will endure.
I don't worry for a nanosecond that reading and writing will disappear. Even in the new digital media, it's essential to be able to read and write fluently and, if you want to capture people's attention, to write well. Of course, what it means to "write well" changes: Virginia Woolf didn't write the same way that Jane Austen did, and Arianna Huffington's blog won't be confused with Walter Lippmann's columns. But the imaginative spheres and real-world needs that all those written words address remain.
I also question the predicted disappearance of the material book. When they wanted to influence opinions, both the computer giant Bill Gates and the media visionary Nicholas Negroponte wrote books (the latter in spite of his assertion that the material book was becoming anachronistic). The convenience and portability of the book aren't easily replaced, though under certain circumstances — a month-long business trip, say — the advantages of Amazon's hand-held electronic Kindle reading device trumps a suitcase full of dog-eared paperbacks.
Two aspects of the traditional book may be in jeopardy, however. One is the author's capacity to lay out a complex argument, which requires the reader to study and reread, following a circuitous course of reasoning. The Web's speedy browsing may make it difficult for digital natives to master Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" (not that it was ever easy).
The other is the book's special genius for allowing readers to enter a private world for hours or even days at a time. Many of us enjoyed long summer days or solitary train rides when we first discovered an author who spoke directly to us. Nowadays, as clinical psychologist Sherry Turkle has pointed out, young people seem to have a compulsion to stay in touch with one another all the time; periods of lonely silence or privacy seem toxic. If this lust for 24/7 online networking continues, one of the dividends of book reading may fade away. The wealth of different literacies and the ease of moving among them — on an iPhone, for example — may undermine the once-hallowed status of books.
But whatever our digital future brings, we need to overcome the perils of dualistic thinking, the notion that what lies ahead is either a utopia or a dystopia. If we're going to make sense of what's happening with literacy in our culture, we need to be able to triangulate: to bear in mind our needs and desires, the media as they once were and currently are, and the media as they're continually transforming.
It's not easy to do. But maybe there's a technology, just waiting to be invented, that will help us acquire this invaluable cognitive power.

The Schuyler Copper Mine is an abandoned, historic copper mine located in what is now North Arlington in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. Operations began in 1715, making it the earliest copper mine in New Jersey and one of the oldest in the United States.
In 1755, it was the site of the first use of a steam engine assembled in America.
Later, starting in 1794, the first steam engine was manufactured in the United States near here.
Shortly before and after, but not during, the American Revolutionary War, the mine was a major copper producer.
Even though nothing remains of the mining operations above ground, the collapse of the underground shafts and tunnels caused damage as recently as 1989.

The mine was also known as the Arlington, Belleville, or Victoria copper mine.

History
Around 1710, Arent Schuyler purchased a large tract of land in New Barbadoes Neck.
A few years later, around 1712–1713, a significant deposit of copper ore was discovered on the property.

At Arent Schuyler's death, his three sons, Adonijah, John, and Peter, inherited his lands, with John managing the mine.

In 1748, flooding in the mine led John Schuyler to order a Newcomen steam engine and pumping equipment from Jonathan Hornblower of Cornwall, England.

The equipment arrived in 1753 and was installed by Jonathan's brother Josiah Hornblower. It started operations in 1755 to pump water out of the mine.
This Hornblower engine was then used in one of the oldest and deepest, more than , mine shafts in America.  It was later called the Victoria shaft and eventually reached a depth of .

In 1773, after the engine house burned for the third time, mining ceased and it remained idle during the revolutionary war.

After the war was over, mining could resume, but the mines needed to be cleared of water. Instead of buying steam engines from England, the owners set up a foundry and machine shop in nearby Belleville. Here, starting in 1794, the first steam engine was manufactured in the United States.

Production
The earliest production record is a shipment of 110 casks of copper ore sent to Holland in April, 1721.
It had to be exported since the colonists were not allowed to refine any native ore.
The yield of ore during the 1720s was about .

Minor amounts of gold and silver were also produced from the copper ore.

Geology
The mine is located in the shales and sandstones of the Passaic Formation where a Triassic diabase sill has intruded.
The primary copper minerals found here were the grayish chalcocite and the bright blue-green chrysocolla.
In addition, lesser amounts of malachite, azurite, cuprite, and native copper were present.

MISSED CONNECTION: To the person who bitched about the Earth 121 students leaving the PAC too loudly during our exam in December 2011. Three years have passed and I want you to know that I don't regret a single second.
You are an asshole.
IT WAS YOU!
