Q: How to handle array bounds out in C Is there any way to handle error index out of bounds in C
i just want to to know, please explain it in context of this example.
if i enter a string more than 20 char i get * stack smashing detected *: ./upper1 terminated
Aborted (core dumped)
main()
{
char st[20];
int i;

 /* accept a string */
 printf("Enter a string : ");
 gets(st);

 /* display it in upper case */
 for ( i = 0 ; st[i] != '\0';  i++)
  if ( st[i] >= 'a'  &&  st[i] <= 'z' )
       putchar( st[i] - 32);
  else
       putchar( st[i]);
}

I want to handle those and stop them and display a custom message as done in Java's Exception Handling. Is it possible ? If yes how
Thanks in advance

A: Yes,  you must use fgets() instead of gets().  In fact, gets() is officially deprecated and should never, ever be used, because it is impossible to use safely as you discovered.

A: To answer the original question: there is no way to handle implicitly out-of-bound array indexes in C. You should add that check explicitly in your code or you should prove (or at least be absolutely sure) that it does not happen. Beware of buffer overflow and other undefined behavior, it can hurt a lot.
Remember that C arrays don't "know" their size at runtime. You should know and manage that size, especially when passing arrays (which become decayed into pointers). Read also about flexible array members in struct-s (like here).
BTW, your code is poor taste. First, the char st[20]; is really too small these days: an input line can have really a hundred of characters (I often have terminal emulators wider than 80 columns). So make it e.g.
 char st[128];

Then, as every one told you, gets(3) is dangerous, it is documented as "Never use this function". Take the habit of reading the documentation of every function that you dare use.
I would suggest to always clear such a string buffer with
memset (st, 0, sizeof st);

You should at the very least use fgets(3), but read the documentation first. You'll need to handle the failure case.
Also, your conversion to upper-case is specific to ASCII (and some other encodings). It won't work on old EBCDIC machine. And it is unreadable. So use isalpha(3) to detect letters (in ASCII or other single-byte encoding); but in UTF-8 it is more complex, since some letters -eg cyrillic ones- are encoded on several bytes). My family name (СТАРЫНКЕВИЧ when spelt in Russian) contains an Ы -which is a single letter called yery - whose UTF-8 encoding for the capital letter is 0xD0 0xAB on two bytes. You'll need an UTF-8 library like unistring to handle these. And use toupper(3) to convert (e.g. ASCII) letters to upper-case.
Notice that your main function is wrongly defined. It should return an int and preferably be declared as int main(int argc, char**argv).
At last, on Posix systems, the "right" way to read a line is to use the getline(3) function. It can read a line as wide as permitted by system resources (so it might read a line of a million characters on my machine). See this answer.
Regarding exceptions, C don't really have these (so most programmers take the habit to have functions giving some error code). However, for non-local jumps consider setjmp(3) to be used with great caution. (In C++, you have exceptions and they are related to destructors).
Don't forget to compile with all warnings and debug info (e.g. with gcc -Wall -g if using GCC). You absolutely need to learn how to use the debugger (e.g. gdb) and you also should use a memory leak detector like valgrind.

A: Though its not directly possible to detect that the user has written out of bounds it, we can add some logic to make sure to throw an error without crashing.
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
   char user_input [USERINPUT_MAX];

    for (int i = 0; i < USERINPUT_MAX; ++i)
    {
        // read the character
        // check for enter key, if enter break out of loop after adding null at end
        // if not enter,store it in array
    }
    if (i == USERINPUT_MAX)
    {
        printf ("you have exceeded the character range");
    }
}

I guess you get the idea of how to handle such situations from user input.

Men of the Lake
The people of Esgaroth
A people said to have been descended from the Edain, or those of their kin who did not cross into Beleriand in the First Age. They dwelt originally at Esgaroth on the shores of the Long Lake, from where they used the Lake and its rivers to trade with the Wood-elves to the west, and the Dwarves and Men of Dale to the north.
In III 2770 the Dragon Smaug descended on Erebor and sacked it, driving out the Dwarves and destroying Dale, many of whose inhabitants fled to join the Men of the Lake. Esgaroth was refounded as Lake-town off the lakeshore, and a legend grew up among its people that one day the Dwarves would return to reclaim the Kingdom under the Mountain. Long afterwards this did indeed come to pass, when Thorin and his companions arrived unannounced nearly two hundred years later.
Stirred up by Thorin and his company, Smaug suspected that the Men of the Lake were behind the arrival of the Dwarves, and set out to destroy their township in revenge. Lake-town was indeed destroyed, but Smaug was shot by Bard the Bowman, and Erebor was freed. After that time Bard became King of Dale, and his realm expanded to include the Men of the Lake and other peoples and lands.
We have little direct information about the origins of the Men of the Lake, except that they were descended from the kin of the Edain of the First Age. The stone ruins along the shore of the Long Lake>a? imply that there had been a settlement there going back to ancient times, and it is conceivable that Esgaroth was originally settled during the migrations of Men during the First Age.

Lógica doxástica é um tipo de lógica modal preocupada com o raciocínio sobre crenças. O termo doxástico é derivado do grego antigo δόξα (doxa), que significa "crença" ou "opinião". Tipicamente, uma lógica do tipo doxástico utiliza Bx para referir-se a "Acredita-se que x é o caso," e o conjunto  denota um conjunto de crenças. Na lógica doxástica, a crença é tratada como um operador modal.
 : {}
Existe um paralelismo completo entre uma pessoa que acredita em proposições e um sistema formal que deriva proposições. Usando a lógica doxástica, é possível expressar a contrapartida epistêmica do Teorema da Incompletude de Gödel, assim como o Teorema de Löb, e outros resultados metalógicos em termos de crença.

Tipos de raciocinadores
Para demonstrar as propriedades dos conjuntos de crenças, Raymond Smullyan definiu os seguintes tipos de raciocinadores:
 Raciocinador preciso:[need quotation to verify][need quotation to verify] Um raciocinador preciso nunca crê em nenhuma proposição falsa. (axioma modal T).

 Raciocinador impreciso: Um raciocinador impreciso crê em, pelo menos, uma proposição falsa.

 Raciocinador vaidoso: Um raciocinador vaidoso crê que seus ou suas crenças nunca são imprecisas.Um raciocinador vaidoso irá necessariamente se transformar em uma imprecisão.

 ou

 Raciocinador consistente: Um raciocinador consistente nunca acredita simultaneamente em uma proposição e na negação da mesma. (axioma modal D)

 ou

 Raciocinador normal: Um raciocinador normal é aquele que, enquanto acreditando em p, também acredita que ele ou ela crê em p (axioma modal 4).

 Raciocinador peculiar: Um raciocinador peculiar acredita em uma proposição p enquanto acredita também que ele ou ela não acredita em p. Apesar de um raciocinador peculiar parecer um estranho fenômeno psicológico (veja O Paradoxo de Moore), um raciocinador peculiar é necessariamente inexato, porém não necessariamente inconsistente.

 Raciocinador regular: Um raciocinador regular é aquele que, enquanto acreditando que  , também acredita que .

 Raciocinador reflexivo: Um raciocinador reflexivo é aquele para o qual toda proposição p possui alguma proposição q tal que o raciocinador crê em .

 Se um raciocinador reflexivo do tipo 4 [veja abaixo] crê em , ele ou ela irá acreditar em p. Esse é um paralelismo do Teorema de Löb para raciocinadores.
 Raciocinador instável: Um raciocinador instável é aquele que acredita que ele ou ela acredita em alguma proposição, sem acreditar de fato nela. Isto está mais para um estranho fenômeno psicológico do que para uma peculariedade; contudo, um raciocinador instável não é necessariamente inconsistente.

 Raciocinador estável: Um raciocinador estável não é instável. Isto é, para todo p, se ele ou ela acredita em Bp, então ele ou ela acredita em p. Note que estabilidade é o inverso da normalidade. Diremos que um argumentador acredita que ele ou ela é estável se para toda proposição p, ele ou ela acredita que BBp→Bp (acreditando: "Se eu deveria acreditar que eu acredito em p, então eu realmente irei acreditar em p").

 Raciocinador modesto: Um raciocinador modesto é aquele para o qual toda proposição p é acreditável,  somente se ele ou ela acredita em p. Um raciocinador modesto nunca acredita em Bp→p a menos que ele ou ela acredite em p. Qualquer raciocinador reflexivo do tipo 4 é modesto. (Teorema de Löb)

 Raciocinador estranho: Um raciocinador estranho é de tipo G e acredita que ele ou ela é inconsistente - mas está incorreto quanto a sua crença.

 Raciocinador tímido: Um raciocinador tímido tem medo de acreditar em p [isto é, ele ou ela não acredita em p] se ele ou ela acredita em

Aumentando os níveis de racionalidade
 Raciocinador Tipo 1: Um raciocinador do Tipo 1 possui um conhecimento completo da Lógica proposicional, isto é, ele ou ela mais cedo ou mais tarde acredita em qualquer tautologia (qualquer proposição demonstrável por tabelas-verdade). Também, o conjunto de crenças dele ou dela (passado, presente e futuro) é logicamente fechado sob o modus ponens. Se ele ou ela em algum momento acreditar em p e acreditar em  p → q (p implica q), então ele ou ela irá (mais cedo ou mais tarde) acreditar em q.

 Raciocinador Tipo 1* : Um raciocinador do Tipo 1* acredita em todas as tautologias; o conjunto de sentenças dele ou dela (passado, presente e futuro) é logicamente fechado sob o modus ponens, e para qualquer proposição p e q, ele ou ela acredita em p→q, então ele ou ela também irá acreditar que, se ele ou ela acredita em p, então ele ou ela acreditará em q. O Tipo 1* possui "um pouquinho mais" de auto-consciência do que o raciocinador do Tipo 1.

 Raciocinador do Tipo 2: Um raciocinador é do Tipo 2 se ele ou ela é do tipo 1, e se para todo p e q, ele ou ela (corretamente) acredita que: "Se eu deveria em algum momento acreditar em p e em  p→q, então eu vou acreditar em q." Sendo do Tipo 1, ele ou ela também crê na proposição logicamente equivalente: B(p→q)→(Bp→Bq). Um raciocinador do Tipo 2 está ciente de que as crenças dele ou dela estão fechadas sob o modus ponens.

 Raciocinador do Tipo 3: Um raciocinador é do Tipo 3 se ele ou ela for um raciocinador normal do Tipo 2.

 Raciocinador do Tipo 4: Um raciocinador é do Tipo 4 se ele ou ela é do Tipo 3 e também acredita que ele ou ela é normal.

 Raciocinador do Tipo G: Um raciocinador do Tipo 4 que acredita que ele ou ela é modesto.

Teorema da incompletude de Gödel e a indecidibilidade doxástica
Digamos que um raciocinador exato enfrenta a tarefa de designar um valor verdade a uma afirmação feita a ele. Existe uma afirmação tal qual o raciocinador deverá ou permancer eternamente indeciso sobre ou perder seu ou sua precisão. Uma solução é a afirmação:
 S: "Eu nunca irei acreditar nesta afirmação"
Se o raciocinador acredite em algum momento na afirmação S, ele se torna falsificado por tal fato, fazendo S uma crença falsa e portanto tornando o raciocinador impreciso em acreditar em S.

Portanto, desde que o argumentador seja preciso, ele ou ela nunca irá crer em S. Logo, a afirmação era verdadeira, pois é exatamente isso que ela reivindicou. Segue-se posteriormente que o raciocinador nunca irá ter a falsa crença de que S é verdade. O raciocinador não pode crer nem que a afirmação é verdadeira nem falsa sem tornar-se inconsistente (isto é, possuir duas crenças contraditórias). Assim, o raciocinador deverá permanecer para sempre indeciso sobre se a afirmação S é verdadeira ou falsa.

O teorema equivalente é que para todo sistema formal F, existe uma afirmação matemática que pode ser interpretada como "Esta afirmação não é demonstrável no sistema formal F." Se o sistema F é consistente, nem a afirmação nem o oposto dela serão demonstráveis nele.

Inconsistência e peculariedade de raciocinadores vaidosos
Um raciocinador do Tipo 1 enfrenta a seguinte afirmação "Você não acreditará nesta sentença." Agora, uma coisa interessante é que se o raciocinador acredita que ele ou ela é sempre preciso, então ele ou ela se tornará impreciso. Tal como um raciocinador irá pensar: "Se eu creio na afirmação, então ela se tornará falsa por tal fato, o que significa que sou impreciso. Isso é impossível, já que eu sempre sou preciso. Portanto, eu não posso crer nessa afirmação: ela deve ser falsa."

Neste ponto, o raciocinador crê que a afirmação é falsa, o que faz a afirmação verdadeira. Assim, o raciocinador é impreciso em acreditar que a afirmação é falsa. Se o raciocinador não tivesse assumido seu ou sua precisão, ele ou ela nunca iriam ter caído em uma imprecisão.

Também pode ser mostrado que um raciocinador vaidoso é peculiar.

Crenças auto-realizáveis
Para sistemas, definimos reflexividade como para todo p (na linguagem do sistema) existe um q tal que q≡(Bq→p) é demonstrável no sistema. O Teorema de Löb (numa forma geral) é que para qualquer sistema reflexivo do Tipo 4, se Bp→p é demonstrável no sistema, então p também é.

Inconsistência da crença na estabilidade de um qualquer
Se um raciocinador consistente reflexivo do Tipo 4 acredita que ele ou ela é estável, então ele ou ela tornar-se-á instável. Indicando o contrário, se um raciocinador estável reflexivo do Tipo 4 acredita que ele ou ela é estável, então ele ou ela se tornará inconsistente. Por que isso? Suponha que um raciocinador estável reflexivo do Tipo 4 acredita que ele ou ela é estável. Mostraremos que ele ou ela (mais cedo ou mais tarde) acreditará em qualquer proposição p. O raciocinador acredita que BBp→Bp, logo segundo o Teorema de Löb ele ou ela irá acreditar em Bp (pois ele ou ela acredita em Br→r, onde r é a proposição Bp, e então ele ou ela irá acreditar em r, que é a proposição Bp). Estando estável, ele ou ela irá, então, acreditar em p.

The Electro Harmonix Slammi Pitch Shifter/Harmony pedal is another technical innovation from the good folks in NYC.
The Slammi is a foot controlled polyphonic pitch shifter. The pitch shifting algorithm tracks remarkably fast and as such this pedal can be used to achieve pitch perfect harmony effects as well as classic octave shifting.
The Dry volume control allows you blend in your original signal, while the max bend control gives you range from subtle chorusing to 3 octaves up. The Slammi can be controlled on the fly, or set in a fixed position.
From metal dive bombs to pedal steel major bends, The Electro Harmoinx Slammi has to be heard to be believed.

What I Learned From an 11-Year-Old Boy Who Sang the National Anthem (Twice)
Posted in Social Media, tagged Boy singing anthem, Latino Rebels, Sebastien de la Cruz, Sebastien de la Cruz song, social media latism on June 14, 2013| 2 Comments »
Originally published at LatinoRebels.com
Who knew? Who knew that a Public Shaming Tumblr post published late Tuesday night (June 11, 2013) would turn an 11-year-old boy from San Antonio into a national hero in less than 48 hours? Yet that is exactly what happened to Sebastien de la Cruz, whose story went from one of ignorance to one of pure joy and love. Like the Buzzfeed headline from a story written by Adrian Carasquillo (full disclosure: my brother from another mother), de la Cruz's moment showed "a nation how to love again."
Less then 48 hours. That is all that it took.
Tuesday afternoon, Sebastien de la Cruz was just one of millions of talented kids out there. He had gotten national attention last year on "America's Got Talent," but outside of San Antonio, not many people knew about him. By Thursday night, the Twitter profile of President Obama gave him a shout out. San Antonio mayor Julián Castro was reintroducing him to the world. He was trending on Twitter. National media had descended to scoop up the interviews. He had gone global.
Welcome to the new media.
As expected, I thought a lot about the story late last night. Why this one? Why did the story of a little boy in a charro outfit become the viral story of the week? Here are my random thoughts:
The story had honesty and authenticity. It came from "the ground up." Late Tuesday night, while I was monitoring the Latino Rebels Facebook site, we received three messages from fans and a post linking to the Public Shaming post. Within minutes of reading the Tumblr post, I instantly knew that this story would resonate with our incredible social media community, which is the most connected and most engaged group in the Latino media space today. This story evolved from the real feelings of people. That was it. This story spoke to relevant issues of identity and culture. It was an easy decision from our end to amplify the story, and the results proved it. In the past 48 hours, LatinoRebels.com amassed its highest level of web traffic ever. The response was so overwhelming that it crashed our web server three times. When we posted our first story early Wednesday morning, the story took off. Soon, the story was being linked by Colorlines, Reddit, Jezebel, HuffPost, Latina, Buzzfeed, CNN, Puerto Rico's Vocero, and countless other links and online forums. LR takes pride in amplifying stories that originate from our community. Mission accomplished.
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich used the story to tell the truth about this country. Even though I am a huge Knicks fan and I still can't get over what the Spurs did to my team in the 1999 NBA Finals, my respect for Popovich reached a new level when he said the following at a press conference yesterday before Game 4: "I would like to say that I would be shocked or surprised by the comments. But given the fact that there's still a significant element of bigotry and racism in our nation, I'm not surprised. It still plagues us, obviously. And what I was surprised by was how proud these idiots are of their ignorance, by printing their names next to their comments. [Sebastien's] a class act. Way more mature than most his age. And as much as those comments by the idiots sadden you about your country, he makes you feel that the future could be very bright." In a world where anti-Latino racism is raw, Popovich's words had to be said.
Will we as a community continue to amplify other stories that matter? I can only hope that the reaction people generated online to support Sebastian can now turn to other stories that merit even more attention, like the case of boricua David Sal Silva (yes, Silva is half Puerto Rican), whose death at the hands of Kern County officers continues to go under the radar. If we as a community of engaged online Latinos can rally around the talent of an amazing boy, can we also do the same to share our outrage towards a death that was clearly condoned by law enforcement? Changing the paradigm about what it is to be Latino in this country right now must go beyond the feel-good celebration of a boy's singing talents. We must approach stories like Silva's with the same vigor and commitment as we did with Sebastian's story.
The real (and sometimes uncomfortable) dialogue surrounding identity cannot stop here. Let's face it: Sebastian's social media story speaks to us all. It raises issues that must continue to be explored by the mainstream media, and not just be limited to the social one. de la Cruz proved that the United States is a better place when we celebrate our differences and find the commonalities within those difference. Being Latino in the U.S. doesn't mean that you love this country any less, quite the contrary. Yet it also doesn't mean that this country is perfect. It is not. Far from it. We are at a crossroads once again in determining what we want this nation to become. Do we want to be a country that understands that being proud of one's roots (and for all those suggesting that Sebastien was overlooking his Mexican heritage when he said that he was American, cut the kid some slack—he's only 11 and I seriously doubt that as he grows up to become a young man, he will shy away from his heritage) does not mean that you are "less American," or do we want to be a country where an actual congressman freaks out about his office being "invaded" by "illegal aliens?" Sebastien's story confirms to me that the days of Rep. Steve King (along with the Coulters and Malkins) are extremely limited, and like Popovich said, "the future could be very bright." Yet that will take even more commitment. Are we ready as a community to continue where Sebastien de la Cruz left off? I think so, because social media has given millions of people the chance to share issues and stories that can literally move up the media landscape and become national issues that form part of our consciousness. That is where the real power lies, and to paraphrase a high-stakes poker player, "Latino Rebels is all in."
The future is indeed ours. Now let's keep posting, tweeting, sharing, and commenting on it.

Sometimes, Ignite is asked by our clients whether prospects can be included as members of their customer advisory boards (CABs).
We can appreciate the idea behind their thinking. After all, as CABs generate deeper customer relationships, what better way to push a key or important prospect to become a customer and into your "company family" by inviting them into your most exclusive, sacred inner circle? It's no surprise, perhaps, that the suggestion to include prospects on your CAB often comes from your sales team. They may get excited by the notion of your other (presumably) happy customers convincing their prospects to purchase – and purchase big – as a result of their attendance at your next CAB meeting.
Customer advisory boards include the word "customer" for a reason. After all, CABs are forums to secure honest, direct feedback from your best clients, who have deep experience with your products, services and market. Prospects simply don't have the experience with your company to be effective advisors, as they have yet to make the investment in money, time and trial-and-error to provide any lessons learned, best practices nor any valuable input to your strategies or product roadmap. Without any skin in the-game, prospects have limited insight.
As CABs will often dive into the "nitty gritty" details of your product or service in actual use, attending prospects without any experience have no frame of reference for participation. Worse, their lack of knowledge may lead them to ask questions that may bog down the meeting in providing background or training information that may turn off, bore and disengage your seasoned, experienced customers.
CABs are forums to obtain honest and direct feedback from your best customers to your strategies and products. And while members tend to be your company's biggest fans and supporters, they will inevitably provide constructive feedback that may be less than favorable. In an effort to suggest a positive change, they may give an example of a negative service experience or talk about the last time your servers went down. The particular issue could be a huge red flag to any prospect in attendance – and a potential deal-breaker.
Despite the enthusiasm of your sales team, CABs are not forums to funnel prospects through the sales pipeline. Incremental revenue may be an output of effective CAB programs from existing clients, but increased sales or closing clients should never be a central (or stated!) aspect of your CAB program. In fact, sales is somewhat at odds with the spirit of your CAB program, which is to seek advice on your strategies, products and programs, and deepen relationships with existing customers. Any member that picks up a sales atmosphere in your CAB may be turned off and even quit.
CAB meetings should not be perceived as settings for providing live references. Companies that manage references best understand the importance of a separate, controlled and dedicated process that will lead to the desired results. Anyone suggesting using your CAB meeting to provide references should examine your existing reference engagement process and program. Of course, CAB members may themselves be some of your company's best references, and CAB programs are outstanding for uncovering and generating reference-able customers to put in front of your prospects one-on-one. Just don't sidetrack the CAB meeting itself.
In the course of managing hundreds of CAB meetings over the last decade, there have been instances where a few of Ignite's clients have invited a limited number (1 or 2 maximum) of prospects to participate in a particular meeting. Sometimes, this has involved bringing in a different division prospect or international arm of an existing member customer. The results were positive, showing that there are sometimes valid exceptions to established rules.
As a CAB manager, you may be asked about – and perhaps even pressured – to include prospects as part of your customer engagement program. Yet doing so can not only have a negative effect on your prospects, but worse, a detrimental impact on your CAB program itself – and, in turn, your best, most supportive existing customers. The potential to dilute the value of CAB participation should be reason enough to recommend against inviting prospects to your next CAB meeting. Play it smart and keep the customer front and center in your customer advisory board.
That's my recommendation. Comments or experience from other CAB managers are encouraged to expand the conversation.

Geopolitics Intelligence National Security Russia Threat Technology US Military | October 16, 2020 | Paul Crespo
Both the United States and Russia maintain fleets of airborne command posts – dubbed 'Doomsday Planes' – to continue nuclear warfare operations in case ground command stations are knocked out. The U.S. Air Force operates the E-4B Advanced Airborne Command Post – "Nightwatch," a highly militarized version of the Boeing 747-200, four-engine, high-altitude passenger jet, capable of in-flight refueling for nearly unlimited endurance.
In addition to the E-4B, the U.S. Navy also operates the E-6B Mercury, based on a 707 airliner. It also serves as an airborne command post, but its primary purpose is to maintain secure communications between the national command authority (NCA) – which include the president and secretary of defense – and U.S. nuclear forces, in case other communications links are destroyed.
Meanwhile, Russia also employs two aircraft for this role, the older version built on the Ilyushin Il-80 aircraft, and a newer aircraft built on the Ilyushin II-96-400 wide-body commercial aircraft airframe, reportedly launched in 2016.
However, Russian media reports cast doubt on whether the newer plane ever actually entered service with the Russian Air Force, as they generally indicated that the older IL-80 airborne command post was still widely used.
Regardless, it now appears that the Russian Air Force will be fully upgrading their Doomsday Plane fleet to the II-96-400M model. Tass reported this week that the newest Airborne Command Post will be built on the II-96-400M modernized version of the quadjet airframe, manufactured by Russia's United Aircraft Corporation (UAC).
The National Interest notes that this will provide the Russian Air Force an aircraft with much greater range than the aging IL-86, as well as likely improved avionics, electronic systems, and communications.
Referring to the older Doomsday Planes, Tass said, "It is scheduled to replace it with an Il-96-400M. It will allow to significantly increase the period of airborne combat duty and to extend the radius for troop command."
Sources at UAC stated, according to The National Interest, that "the first flight of the IL-96-400M should take place next year, but it is unclear when the new Russian 'Doomsday Plane' will actually enter service." The National Interest also notes that:
While more than 100 of the IL-86 airframes were constructed, as of 2012, only four of the aircraft remained in service and all with the Russian Air Force in the Airborne Command Post configuration. With this news it could be the end of the line for those four places.

Being able to tour your project around the world may be the end goal, but releasing music – with or without a record label – is one of the most effective ways of getting there.
Not only is your latest album a snapshot of where you're at musically right now, it's also a big chance to create some 'noise' around what you're doing and to give jazz promoters and press that extra nudge to check it out…
Getting press for your new release
If you're like most jazz musicians, one of the main goals of releasing new music is to get press.
Not only does this help you connect with more potential fans around the world, it also means festival and club promoters get to hear about what you do.
And even if they don't happen to read about your new release in a magazine or online, one or two killer press quotes give you great ammunition to use in your next pitching emails.
But whilst hiring a professional publicist can make big impact on the effect of your release, it doesn't come cheap. So it's good to be prepared (especially with your earlier releases) to take on some of this work yourself with a DIY PR campaign.
British music journalist Matthew Wright wrote a guide all about how you can pitch to journalists more effectively. I'd recommend checking out the full piece, but here are his main points:
How to pitch to music journalists
Research your writer to make sure they like the sort of music you're making
Spend timing making your initial pitch stand out
Consider what practical information needs to be included alongside the 'punchy' intro
Make sure you've got a well-written biography
Have great promo photos (+ more on than here)
(You can get more info on these points – and more – via the free downloadable cheat sheet)
Album or EP?
Jazz musicians seem to have a particularly strong affection for the album format. I guess it's because our education in jazz has been largely via seminal albums that we've listened to again and again (and again).
Sometimes you need the 40-50+ minutes an album allows to get a specific concept across. But, if that's not the case, there are plenty of other reasons why you might want to consider releasing multiple, frequent EPs instead of a full-length album every 1-2 years…
You can find out the long answer to this in this article on albums vs EPs, but people today are digesting music very differently: think streaming, downloads & videos.
The big advantage of EPs & singles
Being able to release content frequently is going to give you an advantage.
You'll pop up more often in playlists, press releases & social media posts…
…and you'll have more reasons to get in touch with the festival & venue promoters that you really want to reach.
If you're very much in the DIY zone when it comes to your project, multiple releases per year means multiple chances to get through to those writers and influencers that you're trying to reach.
So, EPs & singles instead of full-length albums?
Controversial? Possibly…
More effective? Often…
Worth considering? Sure!
Crowdfunding your next record
With many labels seemingly investing less and less in new music, musicians have had to look at alternative ways to finance their albums.
'Crowdfunding' may well bring to mind the likes of Kickstarter and PledgeMusic.
These types of platforms can work really well as a way of setting out your album plans and then letting fans and supporters give money up front to make it possible. (It certainly did for US saxophonist Mike Casey!)
But if that's not your thing, there are more subtle ways of raising money to consider too.
Pre-order your album
Making your new release available to preorder in advance from the usual online music stores is another great way to get money up front. It also helps you create excitement, anticipation and extra publicity in the weeks leading up to the launch – especially if you can create a special, limited edition version as extra motivation.
Label services & distribution deals
There are also plenty of new models coming up – namely label services – which help blur the lines between self-releasing and signing over your rights in a traditional label deal.
You get to keep the rights to your music – along with a much larger % of the sales – whilst getting the professional infrastructure and expertise that a traditional label offers.
It's not to late to push your new release!
I've seen plenty of occasions where so much effort goes into making the music as good as possible, that the actual release plan gets a little forgotten!
If that's you right now: don't panic.
You can still work your new release in the weeks after launch day to maximise the attention it creates and the amount of people it reaches.

Q: Issue writing MySQL query to find difference I'm having trouble with sorting out a query for the following:
Data:
Column1  Column2
2        0
0        -2

I'm trying to select the difference between Column1 and Column2, with a minimum of 0. Eg.
Row1=2
Row2=0

My current query is SELECT (Column1 - Column2) as total FROM blah.
I tried adding max(Column2, 0) into the query, but that just errors.

A: Try:
 SELECT GREATEST(Column1 - Column2, 0)
 from Table

A: The MySQL function MAX() is an aggregate function, often used in combination with a GROUP BY. It only takes one argument (the name of the column of which you want to select the maximum value). The GREATEST() function is the function you need (as Michael Pakhantsov pointed out).

Commutative, Distributive, and Estimative Justice In Adam Smith

In Smith there is something of a contrariety, or double doctrine, on justice: Much of his writing leaves us with the impression that we should use justice and its cognates to mean commutative justice, and only that. But much also authorizes the conclusion that we should embrace and talk of three different senses of justice. I exposit the three senses of justice, but leave aside Smith's intentions in leaving us with such diverging impressions. In The Theory of Moral Sentiments, he distinguishes and describes commutative justice, distributive justice, and a third justice a name for which he does not give but is here called estimative. Smith shows that commutative justice is very special, yet he affirmed and abundantly practiced justice talk beyond commutative justice. On my tri-layered interpretation, estimative justice looms large in matters determined by the jural "superior," that is, the governor. I suggest that Smith would denominate such matters, not in terms of distributive justice, but rather in terms of estimative justice (as well as commutative justice).

Citi Open Announces Player Field
June 18, 2019 by Tennis Panorama News
CITI OPEN ANNOUNCES STRONGEST FIELD IN TOURNAMENT HISTORY
Shapovalov, Keys, Tsonga, Bencic, Khachanov and Isner join blockbuster Citi Open field
Five Top 10 players, Grand Slam champions, Next Gen stars, and top Americans headed to D.C.
New player additions join lineup that already includes Tsitsipas, Nishikori, Anderson, Stephens, Monfils, Andreescu, Auger-Aliassime, Kyrgios and Tiafoe
WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 18, 2019) – The player lineup for the 2019 Citi Open has it all. In what's being heralded as the strongest field in tournament history, a mix of current champions, next-generation stars and fan favorites were announced today for the 2019 Citi Open, set for July 27-August 4, at Rock Creek Tennis Center.
The latest player entries include some of the most compelling stars from the ATP Tour, including Denis Shapovalov, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Karen Khachanov, Milos Raonic, John Isner, Benoit Paire, Alex de Minaur, Andrey Rublev, Marin Cilic, Kyle Edmund and Tomas Berdych.
Top WTA players added to the Citi Open field include Madison Keys, Belinda Bencic, Sofia Kenin, Monica Puig and Genie Bouchard.
Today's exceptional list of headliners join an already impressive group of players that were previously announced, including world No. 6 Stefanos Tsitsipas, Kei Nishikori (No. 7), Kevin Anderson (No. 8), world No. 9 Sloane Stephens, 2016 Citi Open champion Gael Monfils, 2019 Indian Wells champion Bianca Andreescu, Australian fan favorite Nick Kyrgios and next-generation standouts, 18-year-old Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, and hometown favorite Frances Tiafoe of Hyattsville, Md.
"The talent level of the player lineup for this summer's Citi Open is incredible," said Mark Ein, CEO of MDE Tennis that is running the tournament. "This is one of the most exciting and deepest player fields we have ever seen here in Washington. From the first to the last match, the stands will be buzzing as fans will get to see the biggest talents and personalities in the sport. Every session across all our match courts will be packed with compelling match-ups of must-see tennis." Ein also noted that the upgraded fan experience won't be limited to the incredible action on the court as the tournament will announce details of an enhanced fan and food experience later this week as part of the new look for the annual event.
"We are excited for the dynamic field at this year's Citi Open and look forward to welcoming the community to Washington's marquee tennis event this summer," said Tina Davis, Managing Director, Head of Global Sponsorship, Citi.
Single session tickets go on sale June 18 at www.CitiOpenTennis.com or by calling the Tournament Hotline at 202-721-9500. Single session tickets, which start at $25, are available as well as limited full-series and weekender ticket packages.
Fans looking for the next generation of breakthrough champions and engaging personalities won't have to look any further than this year's Citi Open. Canadian Shapovalov, 20, vaulted into the Top 20 for the first time in April after advancing to the Miami Open semifinals one month earlier. Shapovalov has been marked as one of the top young players to watch since his 2017 run to the Montreal semifinals as a wild card, ousting Juan Martin del Potro and Rafael Nadal along the way.
De Minaur, currently ranked No. 26, was a finalist at the 2018 Citi Open where he became a fan favorite with his memorable semifinal victory, saving four match points in a three-set thriller over Rublev. De Minaur also finished as runner-up to Tsitsipas at the 2018 Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan, and the 20-year-old Aussie captured his first career ATP title in January 2019 with a straight set win over Andreas Seppi on the outdoor hard courts in Sydney. Another player to watch is the 21-year-old Rublev who made the semifinals in his Citi Open debut in 2018, the Russian's best result in an ATP 500 event.
Fans can expect to watch many of the most exciting tennis players in the world with the addition of French showstoppers, Tsonga and Paire. The charismatic Tsonga is back in D.C. for the first time since 2009. After missing much of the 2018 season with a knee injury, Tsonga returned to form earlier this year to win his 17th singles trophy in Montpelier. Paire won two clay court titles this year, taking home the crown in Marrakech and also in Lyon, where he toppled Auger-Aliassime in the championship match.
The field for the ATP tournament, the only ATP Tour 500 level event in the U.S., also includes a slate of proven hard court champions. World No. 9 Khachanov captured the ATP Masters 1000 in Paris last year, then returned to France in 2019 to reach his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at Roland Garros. Isner, currently the top-ranked American man at No. 11, returned to the Miami Open finals in March, one year after his biggest tournament triumph where he won his first ATP Masters 1000 title. Top-ranked Canadian and former world No. 3 Raonic has won eight ATP singles titles including the 2014 Citi Open.
Croatian Cilic is a 3-time Grand Slam finalist whose career highlights include winning the 2014 US Open over Nishikori. Former Wimbledon finalist Berdych, who began the 2019 season by reaching the final in Doha, is back at the Citi Open for the first time since 2014. British No. 1 Edmund, a former Australian Open semifinalist, will also be featured in the men's draw.
The women's field will include Bencic, who has risen to No. 13 in the WTA rankings thanks to 30 match wins thus far in 2019, and American Keys, who won her 4th WTA Tour title earlier this year in Charleston. Keys is returning to Washington for the first time since 2014.
The 20-year-old American Kenin, who recently upended Serena Williams at the French Open and moved up to a career-high ranking of No. 30, will make her first Citi Open appearance. Kenin started her 2019 campaign by winning her first WTA singles title in Hobart. Other WTA players to watch include 2016 Olympic Gold medalist Monica Puig of Puerto Rico, Frenchwoman Kristina Mladenovic who is top 50 in singles and the world No. 1 in doubles, and former Top 5 and Wimbledon finalist Bouchard.
The Citi Open, the fifth largest pro tennis event in the U.S., is the only ATP 500 tournament staged in the U.S. and one of only 13 around the world. It also offers fans one of the few opportunities to see stars from both the ATP and WTA Tours compete at the same venue at the same time.
This year marks the first time the Citi Open falls under the direction of MDE Tennis, the sports management company headed by Washington entrepreneur and philanthropist Ein. The 2019 event will showcase the long-running District tennis tournament as "Washington's Summer Tradition Reimagined" with significant enhanced experiences expected throughout the venue, including concessions and merchandise.
Citi Open returns to the US Open Series for the first time since 2014. The US Open Series is a summer hard-court swing of men's and women's tournaments leading up to the US Open. Other US Open Series cities include Atlanta (ATP), San José (WTA), Toronto (WTA), Montreal (ATP), Cincinnati (ATP/WTA), Winston-Salem (ATP).
The longtime beneficiary of Citi Open is the Washington Tennis & Education Foundation, a non-profit which provides free tennis and educational programs for children in underserved communities. The tournament is one of WTEF's biggest annual fundraisers and has raised millions for youth programs in the Washington D.C. area.

Towards a Renewal of the Marxist Theory of Value. Recent Debates
Documento CEDE No. 32
44 Pages Posted: 3 Sep 2020

Universidad de los Andes, Colombia - Department of Economics
This text is inscribed in the debates raised by the new and growing interest in the economic theses of Karl Marx and, especially, in his Labor Theory of Value. The notion that animates this text argues that the multiple objections that have been raised about it actually point to versions and formalizations that correspond more to Ricardo's elaborations. Marx considered that his own version on the theory of value was not only different, but much more advanced and rigorous than that of his predecessor. In this text it is proposed that the new explorations on the theory of value, very promising for a critical interpretation of capitalism, rely decisively on reinterpretations of Marx in which elements of his reflection that have been eliminated by later thinkers, both supporters and contradictors, are rescued, and are developed and adapted for present times.
The text consists of a succinct reconstruction of the main milestones of the development of the Theory of Labor Value, interpreted from this perspective, which raises versions that are different to the most widespread ones. Thus the formulations of this theory elaborated by Smith, Ricardo and Marx are examined. From a current perspective, the questions raised around the debate on the Transformation of Values in Prices are analyzed mainly those developed by Bortkiewicz and later by Sraffa and the Neoricardian School. It includes also a reflection on the conceptions in this regard of the " 20th-century Marxism", dominant in the mainstream of Marxism during a long tima, which here is argued that they are de facto closer to Ricardo than Marx. Two contemporary neo-Marxist currents are examined, the "New Approach" and the "sequentialists" (of the Temporal Single System analysts) that are intended precisely to present new developments from reinterpretations of Marx's theses. The text ends with the presentation of some original pieces of analysis that have this same perspective, which are partially supported by neo-Marxist formulations, but also consist in reelaborations of different moments of this tradition. It points to contribute to the formulation of an Abstract Labor Theory of Value.

Should ex-regulators be allowed to work for big banks?
In the United States financial services lobbying is even more intense than here with the biggest firms funding entire presidential campaigns.
The top five contributors to Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign were Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan and Credit Suisse.
No one believes these firms donate millions of dollars simply because of a political allegiance with the candidate. They want something in return.
The same is clearly true for Barclays when it today appointed former FSA chief executive Hector Sants as head of compliance and regulatory and Government relations.
Barclays wants Sants to use his knowledge and relationships with the regulator to its advantage. Sants quit the regulator in June but remains on the payroll until the end of this month with his £500,000 salary plus benefits.
Is it right that a senior regulator of such stature and influence is allowed to immediately move to one of Britain's biggest banks to manage relationships with his former staff? Could he have been thinking about his next move while still in his FSA job?
Under current rules there are real questions to be asked about the appetite of regulators to take on the big firms when they could be building a barrier to their next highly paid job.
Comments on the Money Marketing website leave little doubt as to many advisers' thoughts, with the move branded as a "joke", "disgrace", and "sickening".
Sants is not the first, nor likely will he be the last, to move straight into a highly paid and influential financial services related role. Former FSA director of enforcement Margaret Cole joined PricewaterhouseCoopers after leaving the regulator earlier this year. Former FSA managing director of supervision Jon Pain also joined KPMG last year.
Unlike Government ministers there are no rules governing the next move of FSA staff. In 1997 the FSA was created as a non-Governmental body, despite using the email address @fsa.gov.uk.
Government ministers are banned from taking lobbying jobs in their specialist area for 12 months after they leave office.
For two years after office they must also have all private work cleared by the the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments.
Lansons Communications head of regulatory consulting Richard Hobbs says: "Common sense tells you that the FSA chief executive and chairman should be subject to the same rules and restrictions as Government ministers.
"They have remit of such a profound and influential nature that the same rules should apply but they don't.
A spokesman for the TSC says there are no current plans to call Sants in for questioning but you would have thought this is something MPs would want to look into.
In the United States radical proposals are emerging to stop regulators moving into high profile, well paid bank jobs.
Earlier this year Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. chairman Sheila Bair called for a blanket ban on regulators taking private jobs.
Clearly financial regulators need to make a living and any such ban would likely end up in the European Court of Human Rights.
But perhaps some basic time limits similar to those applied to Government ministers would be appropriate for such prominent jobs.
On the plus side, at least he is accountable to someone now.
No – they should have a period of 2 years before they can move – just like government ministers do. This potentially removes the stench of corruption.
They should also be forced to see through any big projects that they introduce at the regulator. Sants should not have been allowed to walk away from the RDR. He should have been made to stay to see it through to the bitter end.
Doubt anyone would want to employ him if that happened. I predict his FSA work will not go down too well when the public/press etc find out what has been going on during his watch.
Should definitely be a ban of a year or more, otherwise it really is just a joke and a sickening gravy train, doing nothing for the reputation of regulator or indeed the new employer.
Mind you, if you are Barclays you have no reputation to worry about; Satan would look saintly.
NO – it only strengthens the pro-bank lobby.
It's by far and away the best way of ensuring that one's grossly inflated package paid for by the public purse and the poor bl**dy infantry, is maintained and supported by a combination of the taxpayer and OPM (other people's money).
Arrange these words in the right order for a big cash prize!
Kerrchinggg!!!!! Fill yer boots hector.
Surprised that Barclays would take on someone so arrogant and yet, incompetent.
The movers and shakers at the FSA/FOS/FSCS and other quango's are career ladder climbers.
Their self-serving actions point to there regulatory tenure as being a mere tick on their CV prior to moving on to better sinecures.
Rather than purging the industry perhaps they should look closer to home and purge themselves of this devious and high profitable tendency.
This stinks, he was in charge when Barclays got their Libor fine and the deal with the banks for the mis-selling of interest rate swaps……. HSBC get fined £1.2Bn Barclays gets fine a pittance in comparison….. Can't trust the banks, can't trust the regulators. Who can you trust.
I'm amazed any bank would even consider the likes of hector Sants considering his poor skill set, arrogance and damage to financial services under his watch. The fact he had the position he had shouldn't qualify him for any other finance related position when he's as useless as he is. I enjoyed that.
Gamekeeper turned poacher, what a joke!!!
It will be interesting to see the path that Barclays take next with their financial planning division because if anyone knows how to position a firm to take advantage of RDR it should be the man who helped create it.
It is unusual for a regulator to be so universally despised. Some would think that the hatred is a direct result of being a tough regulator. The problem is that Hector is a unique combination of arrogant yet ignorant, educated yet incompetent, he is an industry vandal and a menace. He will no doubt be able to influence the fSA, an detached organisation that is hated beyond measure.
I am so angry about this. These so called ex regulators are out of touch with the ordinary hard working people they are supposed to be serving in the interests of ! this is another gravy train for these people. Life in London is a world away from the rest of the country Canary Wharf is even further out touch with the ordinary people.I am sick & tired of over regulation within a Dictatorship called FSA.
I will close my Barclays Business account and quote Hector. Its a pointless gesture but it makes me feel better.
Trouble is I hate all banks.
There should be a two-year break for anybody in a control function within the FSA taking up a position in a private firm but for the Chairman and chief executive there should be an outright ban and their pension benefits should be the same as the Lord Chancellor to make it position where it is unlikely for these individuals picked to be corruptible. The position should also be funded by government and not the industry that is set up to regulate, break the link between industry and the regulator so nobody in the industry can corrupt them.
I think proof enough that these people abuse the posts they have as a springboard to satisfy thier own greed, with little regard to the mess left behind.
It certainly brings into question the competence of Barclays management if they look at his track record…..if that is, I did say if!
Hector was a banker before we went to the FSA as far as I am aware he did not do any work at the FSA. Now he has gone back to banking good ridance.
I suspect this serial incompetent will still have the key to the executive washroom in canary towers, just as he will probably have a direct line to the FSA chief exec installed, just in case he needs to talk to few of his old cronies, because 'he has a problem at Barclays that he wants 'fixed'.
Am I dreaming this or will I wake up?
Sadly this is the man who has created the nightmare…… and we are all living it….constantly.
Clearly financial regulators need to make a living and any such ban would likely end up in the European Court of Human Rights. Clearly IFAs should be entitled to make a living and not have it threatened by the FSA and RDR without just cause.
….I'll leave that with you good folk.
I hold to torch for Hector Sants whatsoever and in fact think large parts of his tenure at the regulator were undistinguished.
But I also think people forget that for many years before joining the FSA Sants was a senior director in various banks, including Credit Suisse. Indeed he was earning more BEFORE his time at the FSA than when he was employed there.
Nic, I'm surprised you can defend this appointment. Yes on the surface putting a regulator in to sort out a banks issues might seem a good idea, but looking at past events and timings makes the whole thing stink!
For the first time I agree with your comment Peter????
Hector Sants was / is an incompetent and rather than obtaining a plum / lucrative job with Barclays should have been barred from holding any position in financial service – a judgement often handed out by the FSA for lesser reasons Br Hector Sants and the FSA.

← Boston
Beyond its borderline unhealthy obsession with sports, Boston is first and foremost a place of history, education, and culture that places a premium on the arts. As a result the city abounds with galleries, museums, theaters, music venues, and performance spaces. Homegrown talent has ranged from Paul Revere and Gilbert Stuart to Aerosmith and Steve Carrel. Here are a handful of suggestions for exploring the city's cultural offerings, which range from classic and historic to avant-garde and quirky. Check out the ArtsBoston Calendar for a comprehensive listing of what's happening during your visit.

Museum of Fine Arts — With nearly 500,000 pieces ranging from photographs to textiles, jewelry, musical instruments, prints, drawings, and more, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts spans continents and time, displaying works dating from ancient Egypt to modern day. The MFA is open seven days a week, except major holidays, and you'll find numerous free gallery tours, talks, and drop-in activities. Make sure to check the Arts of the Americas Wing for a deep dive into Boston artists, as well as Native American art. Some highlights of the museum include Childe Hassam's impressionist rendering of At Dusk: Boston Common at Twilight, and Dale Chihuly's stunning Lime Green Icicle Tower adjacent to the New American Café, serving fresh, seasonal appetizers, salads, and entrees made with local ingredients.

The Freedom Trail — Pick a nice day and head to the Boston Common Visitor's Center in Beacon Hill where you can begin walking The Freedom Trail, a two-and-a-half-mile red-brick walking path that tells the story of Boston's early history. The path winds its way past 16 nationally historic sites, such as Park Street Church, Granary Burying Ground, Old State House, and Paul Revere House. Take one of the guided tours to bring to life the various sites you pass with colorful stories, details, and lore.

Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum — This museum made headlines on March 18, 1990, when two thieves wearing police uniforms were let into the museum and stole 13 works of art in fewer than two hours. The heist still remains unsolved with the empty frames serving as a grim reminder of the theft. Nevertheless, the museum is a Boston must-see if even just for its amazing architecture. Set in Gardner's Venetian palazzo with a lush, flower-filled interior courtyard and gardens surrounding it, the museum displays Gardner's 15,000-plus paintings, sculptures, silver, textiles, rare books, furniture, and other objects. The striking glass-enclosed Café G, designed by Renzo Piano, serves lunch and light bites Wednesday-Monday.

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum — The Kennedy legacy looms large in Boston, and the city's son, John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK), the 35th President of the United States, was an iconic figure not only across the nation but also around the globe. The JFK Library and Museum is one of 14 presidential libraries in the country and lies about 15 minutes by car from downtown Boston on Columbia Point in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston.
Architect I.M. Pei designed the sleek, modern building, which opened in 1979, to celebrate the life, presidency, and legacy of JFK through films, interactive displays, and exhibits. The library houses JFK's presidential and personal records, along with those of his wife, Jackie, and brothers Robert and Teddy. Interestingly enough, the library also holds 90 percent of Nobel Laureate Ernest Hemingway's manuscripts, photographs, and personal papers, thanks to JFK helping arrange for Hemingway's widow to travel to Cuba after her husband's death to collect the author's papers, along with Jackie Kennedy's offer to display the collection at the Library.

Charles Playhouse — What began as a speakeasy in 1839, before becoming a nightclub, is now a theater. It hosts the world-renowned Blue Man Group, a one-hour-and-40-minute performance of rollicking fun performed by three men with cobalt-colored, bald heads. Packed with music, comedy, theater, and dance, the actors explore and satirize cultural norms in colorful, fun, and surprising ways. Shows are ongoing and priced differently depending upon the day and time you go.
Photo: Citizens Bank Opera House/Facebook
Boston Opera House — The Boston Opera House, whose proper and more recent moniker is Citizens Bank Opera House, is a cream, red, and gold-leaf confection built in 1928 by theater architect Thomas W. Lamb to host feature films and live vaudeville performances. Now, inside this baroque theater with its massive marble columns, decorative paintings, ornamental plasterwork, and red brocade, audiences enjoy Broadway hits like The Lion King and Cats, as well as cultural presentations, concerts, and ballet performances by The Boston Ballet, which now calls the theater its home.
Photo: SoWa Boston/Facebook
SoWa First Fridays — SoWa stands for "South of Washington," which designates this rectangular pocket of the city running from East Brookline Street to East Berkeley Street and from Shawmut Avenue to Albany Street in the South End neighborhood. On the First Friday of every month from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, 200-plus artists, galleries, shops, and showrooms of the SoWa Art + Design District (450 and 460 Harrison Avenue) welcome the public free of charge. Stroll around and soak up some art, then grab a drink and some dinner at any of the delectable restaurants nearby, such as Gaslight Brasserie du Coin for rustic French fare and Meyers+Chang for lusty, fun, small-plate Asian.
Photo: The Mary Baker Eddy Library/Facebook
The Mary Baker Eddy Library — Although not particularly appealing for those who are not particularly interested in the story of Mary Baker Eddy (an American author, teacher, and founder of Christian Science), this library is a must-hit for the map-obsessed and world travelers. It houses the Mapparium, a magnificent, three-dimensional, stained-glass view of the world as it was in 1935 when the attraction was completed.

The Institute of Contemporary Art — A dramatic mix of glass and opaque metal overlooking Boston Harbor, the ICA fills its 65,000-square-foot space with contemporary art, including film, literature, performance art, and visual art. In addition to major thematic exhibitions, the museum displays works from well-known and emerging artists, such as Andy Warhol and Cindy Sherman to text artist Jenny Holzer and found-object artist Nari Ward. In 2018, the museum opened the ICA Watershed, a 15,000-foot space for large-scale works located in the Boston Harbor Shipyard and Marina. The museum is free on Thursday nights from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Got Milk? Overcoming Lactose Intolerance to Grow a Tall and Strong Japan
An ad for butter and cheese by the dairy company, Yuki Jirushi. From the November 1964 Asahi Graf, Tokyo Olympics Special Edition
A derogatory term in Japan for foreigners at the turn of the 20th century was "batta-kusai" (バタ臭い), literally "stinks of butter".
In the 16th and 17th centuries in Japan, when the Portuguese and Dutch established relations and trade with the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Japanese were exposed to non-Japanese who had meat and milk in their diets. The Japanese, due to the influence of Buddhism and Shintoism, were forbidden from eating meat, and thus by extension, dairy products. On top of that, Japanese were generally lactose intolerant.
Because of the fundamental differences in diet, the Japanese thought, quite simply, that Westerners, with the residue of beef, milk and cheese in their systems, reeked.

But when Emperor Meiji came to power in the late 19th Century, the emperor and his government embarked the country on a massive modernization campaign to make not only the Japanese military, science and industry equal to the levels of excellence in the Western industrialized world, but also the size and strength of Japanese people.
According to this article, the Meiji Government not only lifted the ban on meat and dairy-products consumption, they put the word out, quietly, that the Meiji Emperor also enjoyed meat, cheese and milk.

Clearly, the Meiji Government was also picking up advanced marketing techniques, such as celebrity endorsements to sell products. But when the 1960s rolled around, using data to back your claims was all the rage. The advertisement at the top of the page was published in November, 1964 in Asahi Graf's Tokyo Olympics Special Issue. The headline text states, "These Children Will be the Strength of Japan in the Future". The company making this statement is "Yuki-Jirushi", one of the dairy products companies (along with Meiji) established by the Emperor Meiji.
The statistics shared in the ad show how, from 1955 to 1962, the height of the average 5-year old went from 104 to 106.1 cm tall while the average individual daily consumption of dairy products (I suppose they mean butter and cheese) went from 0.8 grams to 5.4 grams.

A few years later, an AP article from May, 1969 cited a government survey indicating the trend was continuing. "A ministry survey showed the average height of 11-year-old boys has increased by 4.6 inches over the past 68 years. Girls of the same age had an increase of 5.4 inches. During the 1900-1968 period, the 11-year-old boys gained 13.6 pounds and the girls 18.9 pounds in weight, the survey said."

Dov Rosenblatt is an American singer, songwriter, producer, composer, and teacher. Currently based in Los Angeles, California, he is best known as the lead singer of the Jewish rock band Blue Fringe, who were credited along with Moshav and Soulfarm with advancing Jewish rock in the early 2000s. He has also been a member of the indie rock bands Fools for April (with C Lanzbom), The Wellspring (with Talia Osteen), and Distant Cousins (with Duvid Swirsky and Ami Kozak). His music has appeared in several films, television shows, and advertisements.

Biography

Early life
Dov Rosenblatt grew up in Baltimore, Maryland. He is the son of Gary Rosenblatt, editor and publisher of The Jewish Week. His grandfather was the rabbi of a shul in Annapolis. Rosenblatt studied music and psychology at Yeshiva University.

Blue Fringe (2001-2009)

While at Yeshiva University, Rosenblatt was invited to perform at a Jewish event at the University of Pennsylvania and recruited three of his classmates, Avi Hoffman, Danny Zwillenberg, and Hayyim Danzing, as backing musicians. The four subsequently became a full-time band under the name Blue Fringe. Under this name, the group released three albums, My Awakening (2003), 70 Faces (2005), and The Whole World Lit Up (2007), the latter produced by C Lanzbom of Soulfarm.

Fools for April and The Wellspring (2009-2014)

Rosenblatt and Lanzbom briefly collaborated as Fools for April, recording an album together called The Voice is Inside (2009). A single from the album, "Run, Run, Run", received a music video directed by David Schlussel.

While touring with Fools for April, Rosenblatt met singer-songwriter Talia Osteen, with whom he formed the folk rock duo The Wellspring in 2009. They recorded three EPs and a full-length album, The Girl Who Cried Sheep (2014), produced by Eric Rosse. Music from the band has appeared on the shows House, Cougar Town, and Orange Is the New Black, and in the films Coffee Town (2013) and Slow Learners (2015).

Distant Cousins (2014-present)

In 2012, Rosenblatt formed Distant Cousins with Duvid Swirsky of Moshav and Ami Kozak. The group's self-titled debut EP was released in 2014. Their music has appeared in the film This Is Where I Leave You (2014); in the shows Graceland, Criminal Minds, and Reign; and in commercials for Lift and Macy's.

Other work
Rosenblatt teaches a course called "Understanding Tefillah Through Songwriting" at Shalhevet High School and New Community Jewish High School. In May 2016, he appeared in a video with actress Reese Witherspoon celebrating the one-year anniversary of her Draper James clothing line. He has appeared on the podcasts Faith Thru Music and Buckle Up.

Personal life
Rosenblatt lives in Los Angeles with his wife and son Kol. Raised Modern Orthodox, he is Lubavitch by marriage.

We are delighted to announce that we are continuing to work with the 100 Club and we plan to help them by raising money for financial assistance when tragedy strikes; Line of Duty Death/Non-Line of Duty Death, Line of Duty Injury, Safety Enhancement Stipends to keep our heroes safe and peer support to equip our heroes with the tools to find assistance when they need it. For almost 50 years, the 100 CLUB OF ARIZONA has assisted OFFICERS, FIREFIGHTERS, AND THEIR FAMILIES.
In the past couple of weeks, Arizona has sent over 150 of our first responders to assist with the wildfires charging through California. We are thankful for all of the first responders that are working tirelessly to keep the public safe and want to give back to them. To support the heroes that make sacrifices every day for the safety of all citizens.
Over the years AZCMS has aided other very meaningful charities, the AZCMS team has decided to give support to the 100 Club of Arizona. For more information regarding this charity please to www.100club.org. The link is also located at the bottom of the AZCMS website www.azcms.com.
Starting Monday, November 19, 2018, we will be offering a donation-based gift wrapping service to all of our owners. Donations for this service are welcome and will go 100% to the 100 Club.
Staff will be gift wrapping while you wait! This service is available through December 21st. For those HOA's holding board meetings during these dates, we will also have an AZCMS staff member available for gift wrap.
If you do not have any gifts that need wrapping but still want to donate, please contact our Communications Liaison, Bret Barnes, at BBarnes@azcms.com or (480) 355-1190, ext. 114.
We are also offering this service at our corporate office, located at 17787 N. Perimeter Drive, Suite A111, Scottsdale, AZ 85255. If your HOA has an on-site office, gift wrapping services will be available at that location as well.
We thank you in advance for your support. Your donation is greatly appreciated and will be used by the 100 Club for our Arizona first responders and their families.
