Q: PSExec never exits even though the remote executable has exited I am using PSExec, which is called in one of my powershell scripts, to remotely run an executable on a remote machine and wait until it's execution finishes (using the -Wait flag on the Start-Process cmd that starts PSExec).
For some reason, the executable finishes properly (process is not running anymore on the remote computer, all output files it creates are present, all log files from that executable say everything went ok and that it finished properly without errors), but PSExec never seems to exit. I have redirected PSExec's std and err outputs to 2 files, and they only show part of what they should if the execution had indeed went smoothly without hanging.
Now, I use PSExec at several places in that powershell script, and this only happens in one specific instance. The only different thing I can think about is that that executable takes about 8h to complete, whereas all the other places I use PSExec the remote executable/script take maximum 20-30min to complete.
Is there some kind of timeout associated to PSExec? Am I missing a flag or something?
For reference, here is the powershell lines where I actually call PSExec and that is causing this issue:
$PSExecRunTestsParams = "\\$parsedTestRunnerVM -h -n 30 -accepteula -u $user -p $pass -w $localTestRunnerDirPath $localTestRunnerExePath 3"
Start-Process -FilePath $PSExecPath -ArgumentList $PSExecRunTestsParams -Wait -RedirectStandardOutput $tempStdOutLog -RedirectStandardError $tempStdErrLog

It is to note that the powershell lines following this never actually get called either.

Learning computer skills can be beneficial to your resume writing as it's another skill to add to your resume and experience. When reading a resume many employers navigate to the key skills section first. This is usually because the key skills section is concise and can tell an employer in a few sentences what skills that candidate has and it can allow an employer to visualise the skills that candidate can bring to their organisation. If an employer can only see a few, irrelevant skills then they are probably going to move on to the next candidate's resume. But if they can see multiple key skills, including essential skills like 'computer literate', then they are more likely to read through your entire resume. And if a candidate reads through all of your resume your chances of being invited to a job interview will improve.
The majority of employers looking to hire will be looking for candidates that possess strong IT skills. Most employers, no matter the role they are hiring for, will need candidates to complete tasks involving a computer. Whether it's writing a Word document, using the company intranet or searching online for a product – using computers and the internet is usually vital to most employers. If you don't possess these skills then it's likely you'll feel unqualified during a job interview but by training and adding these skills to your resume, you'll automatically feel more confident in a job interview situation.
Adding new skills to your resume will help with your overall career progression opportunities. If you can gain computer skills outside of work and improve them while working in a job, then you'll find it easier to apply for more senior roles in the future.


Choosing to go to a university in your home county can lead to quite the dilemma- should you move there or commute from home? Well…I've done both.
As an undergraduate I spent my first year in student halls with nine other roommates and my second year in New Mexico studying abroad living in private university housing with three other roommates. Then there was third year, which I spent in a one-bedroom apartment in the city with zero roommates. The last year was the best.
When it came to apply for my Masters I thought long and hard about what would be the best option. Knowing that at 25 years old I couldn't bear living in student digs again it was a case of finding a studio/one bed, which would be around £600 per calendar month, or commute with a travel card at £76.50 per calendar month on a 40min train journey each way; it became apparent that the latter option made the most sense financially.
That being said, there were a few things that I wish I'd have known in advance.
Socialising: While it seems obvious now, I wish I'd have known how much I would miss out on by not living in Sheffield. I've lost count of how many times I've turned down drinks with friends because they weren't meeting until 7 yet my once-an-hour train wasn't reliable enough to get me home.
Time management: When you can't just walk to the library on Sunday morning because you forgot to pick up a reading you need for the next day on Friday, you need to learn to plan ahead. I'm talking Prison Break levels of precision– factoring in the 80 minutes of travel time each day as reading time, and trying to figure out if packing a lunch to save money is more time efficient than studying in Interval while you wait for your vegan enchilada.
Long Days: When your public transport isn't as reliable as promised, you quickly learn to get an earlier train than needed which adds another hour onto an already long day, making each week exhausting. On the plus side though, there's always a computer free at 8:30am to get some work done!
All things considered, I'm glad I decided to commute from home. Having dealt with nightmare landlords and rowdy roommates in the past, coming back to a cosy home with my mother and my dog makes everything else worth it. To anyone considering commuting next semester or next year: 'give it a go' you might just learn some important life skills and save some cash along the way.

ROPOS
The Remotely Operated Platform for Ocean Science – A Remotely Operated Vehicle

The Remotely Operated Platform for Ocean Science (ROPOS ) is a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) which is able to dive up to 5,000 meters (16,404 feet). ROPOS is an unmanned submersible that is controlled from a surface vessel through an armored electrical-optical umbilical cable.
While ROPOS is commonly used for a variety of different types of deployments, the ROV specializes in supporting science-based missions. To assist these missions, the ROV has a host of different tools that are used for mapping; collecting water samples, sediment samples, and biological specimens; taking measurements; and recording all of its operations in HD video which is transmitted in real-time to the surface vessel.

ROPOS is equipped with two multi-function manipulators which serve as its arms and hands. The manipulators are controlled from the surface by skilled pilots and operators. Using the manipulators, the operators can execute a range of tasks subsea, from swinging a sledge-hammer to break off chunks of lava rock to gently collecting coral samples and storing them in its bio-boxes (biological specimen sample boxes) and plugging in cables on underwater observatory systems.
ROPOS is also equipped with a number of video and still cameras to help capture the environment around it and has a robust lighting system that uses different types of bulbs to mimic natural daylight as closely as possible. By illuminating its surroundings in natural light, ROPOS helps scientists observe and document the ocean and its inhabitants in accurate color.

The ROPOS ROV pilots maneuver the submersible using controls aboard the surface vessel. The vehicle's position is determined by using a USBL (Ultrashort Baseline) Acoustic Positioning System that is mounted on the surface vessel and a transponder on the ROV which communicates back to the surface. Through a combination of its USBL, transponder, DVL (Doppler Velocity Log), and gyrocompass, the ROPOS ROV continually sends location data back to the surface, which is logged. This navigational data allows the submersible to easily return to any location it has previously visited, even years later.
Because the ROPOS ROV is an unmanned submersible, the ROV can spend as long underwater as it needs to in order to complete the requirements it has. To date, the longest dive recorded by ROPOS was over 99 hours long, with eight pilot/crew changes occurring with the vehicle still subsea.
ROPOS and its crew conduct missions all over the world and in the past five years have had missions in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans; as far north as the sub-Arctic; and as far south as Antarctica.

Writing an Essay about Lifestyle: What to Pay Attention To?
Lifestyle essays are very interesting and tutors do really like them. Such academic assignments mirror student's individuality and life habits. This is the best way to see how sincere a person can be in essay writing. Lifestyle writing helps students analyze their existence and see problematic points. Some students manage to realize that there are many valuable issues and that he or she is able to change something for the better.
It is quite clear that a student should mind both a structure of a paper and its topic. Lifestyle essay has the same structure as any other essay. The only difference is that each part should present some details about a person's life story.
This paper section gives the required information about the author, group, research field, topic, tutor, college name, and date of performance. There can be some other data. College tutors should either show samples or provide a student with all details.
It is also essential to begin properly. Try to avoid cliches and nonsenses. Never start the following way "My life does not resemble any other life" or "Let me introduce myself". Such an introduction bothers and spoils the first impression. Start with a climax episode in your lifestyle but do not tell the whole story. Its end a reader can learn in the body section. Still, it is better to write about it in the conclusion. Such a method keeps the reader's attention and intrigues him or her.
This part of the lifestyle essay describes actually the lifestyle of an individual. It may sound like an autobiography. Still, it is not just the same. The autobiography presents naked facts. A lifestyle essay considers an interesting approach to data presentation. It should not sound dry and unemotional. A writer should convey the feelings into words and make the reader understand the reasons for each step or action.
There is no need to hide your mistakes and negative traits of character. We all are humans and the reader will surely sense the truth and the lie. Show that each wrong step gives us experience. Each mistake lets us avoid next ones. Each success is the result of hard work and self-improvement. Imagine that you are writing a scenario about your lifestyle for some movie. Reread it. Would like to watch such a movie? No?! Then you should make it more vivid and alive.
Do not forget about the thesis statement presented in the introduction. Here you should provide your essay with some details regarding its idea.
This essay part might remind us of the climax presented in the introductory part and present the outcome. By the way, it should not sound just like it is the end of your life. It is better to give some suppositions concerning your plans for the future. It should be something you want to achieve, change, or learn. Let it be also catchy and impressive.
One can add some pictures, videos, or documents to picture some noble event. A person can also create PPT to present personal lifestyle. Such a presentation of the paper can even impress the college committee.
These issues are as important as the context of the paper. A student should not neglect them because the work will lack academic value. It often happens that students do not differentiate between writing styles. They look very much alike but still have differences. That is why students should study each paper style in details. There are official websites which can provide them with such information. Also, there are a lot of professional custom essay writing services committed to produce high-quality papers in accordance with client's specifications.

Healing Evangelist Todd Bentley to Fold His Lakeland Tent
Filed under: Christianity,News and politics — thenonconformer @ 10:21 pm

Ledger " Wednesday, July 23, 2008 at 9:02 a.m. LAKELAND | Evangelist Todd Bentley, whose unorthodox appearance and methods have attracted worldwide attention, will leave the long-running revival he has led here, it was announced Monday, although the local pastor who brought Bentley to Lakeland vows the revival will continue.
Bentley's last day leading the Florida Outpouring revival will be Aug. 23, said Lynne Breidenbach, revival spokesperson. The enormous white tents on the grounds of Sun n' Fun Fly-in, where the revival has been held since early June, will be taken down after that night's service.
The Florida Outpouring began at Ignited Church of Lakeland on April 2, with Bentley, a 32-year-old Canadian, as a guest evangelist. Bentley was originally scheduled to lead services for a week, but when large crowds began flocking to the church, he agreed to stay on, and the revival has continued every day since then.
Hundreds of thousands of people from across the United States and the world have attended the revival, which outgrew at least four venues before tents were set up at Sun n' Fun. Early on, the services were streamed live over the Internet, and some observers have credited the Internet for the rapid growth of the revival.
During the past several weeks, Bentley occasionally has been absent from the evening services, turning them over to guest evangelists or associates of his evangelistic ministry. He will return to lead the services tonight, but he already has scheduled appearances at revivals in Los Angeles; Louisville, Ky.; and Spokane, Wash., before Aug. 23.
"He's going to be here regularly, just not seven nights a week," Breidenbach said.
After leaving the Florida Outpouring, Bentley will conduct revivals overseas, including in the United Kingdom and Sudan, according to his ministry's Web site.
The Rev. Stephen Strader, pastor of Ignited Church, said Bentley made the decision to relinquish leadership of the revival last week.
"He and I had both been praying about what God wants us to do," Strader said. "There have been all sorts of rumors, but everything is OK. This has nothing to do with anything else."
Ignited Church will continue the revival, holding services every night after Bentley leaves, Strader said. And he is negotiating with other Lakeland churches to host services a few nights a week.
"We're ready to take over. We don't know at this point what venues we'll use," he said. "Most services we'll be able to handle here at Ignited. We do anticipate crowds dropping off after Todd leaves."
But Bentley may put in an occasional appearance. He plans to keep an office in Lakeland, in addition to his Fresh Fire Ministries headquarters in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Breidenbach said.
One of the churches that might participate in ongoing services is Believers Fellowship, at which Jeff Garvin, a Bentley associate, has preached in recent weeks.
"Stephen Strader is really the right man for this," said the Rev. Wayne Friedt, pastor of Believers Fellowship. "He's experienced, he's prepared. They'll still pack out Ignited Church."
Bentley, covered with tattoos and employing antics borrowed from professional wrestling, has proved controversial. The revival has drawn attention for its claims of numerous miraculous healings of serious illnesses. Bentley has also claimed that more than two dozen people have been raised from the dead as a result of prayers offered at the revival.
Even some fellow Pentecostals have questioned whether Bentley's revivals have placed enough emphasis on preaching and calls for repentance. A recent set of guidelines from the Assemblies of God, the largest predominantly white Pentecostal denomination in the United States, seemed to question the Florida Outpouring's emphasis on miracles. Local pastors have expressed skepticism about exaggerated claims.
Recent news reports have been unable to verify any of the claims of healing, although Strader said privacy concerns and laws forbidding the release of medical records have prevented revival officials from releasing complete information about the identities and conditions of people claiming to be healed."
When in contrast you do next read the many next rather distorted but supposedly Christian, Baptist versions of the same event on the net it tends to read and sounds like a soap opera, biassed, cheap trash, garbage posts.
Funny eh.. And I thought all Christians were to be good, kind, loving persons.. clearly I was really wrong ehh..
Revivals, the baptism of the Holy spirit, the gifts of the Holy spirit, the Anointing , tongues, Prophets, Apostles, miracle workers, have become unarguably the most overused, overworked, misunderstood, misinterpreted, contentious terms in the non Pentecostal and in the Non Charismatic arenas, and mainly in the fundamental religious circles even because many of these people, too often false critics are mostly still serving self, doing their own thing, looking up to mere man and not God.. and man's help is useless for the most part in understanding spiritual things still too. They need to grow up spiritually as well.

Too many sinful. spoiled persons clearly have a false concept of God, that they also falsely try to teach to others too, where God is a good guy, the devil is the bad guy, and in their religion God does not punish anyone for their sin. Now this false theological ostrich concept of God is PERSONALLY mostly held clearly to deny facing the possibility of the existence of the negative consequences for one's personal sins, to AVOID facing up to, or immediately dealing with them, admitting them. Had they read the Bible they would have seen how God still punishes all persons for their still unrepentant sins.
>Todd Bentley is of the adversary. The best thing for everyone is for him to fold his tent quickly and leave the scene.
Ironically my own twin brother Walter Kambulow in total contrast to me holds also that Todd Bentley is totally a false prophet, and while I may agree with some of the reasons for this view, Todd has bad friends, bad associates too, and I also may not agree with the manner he Todd as well does things, even like selling things like books, tapes or candles, or whatever in any Church for since Jesus himself said my house is a house of prayer but you have made it a den of thieves.
Not only do I mostly not agree with my brother or his views, approach too but I have said myself in love to my own brother that he himself, and yes also some of the others, the bad pastors are false prophets, after all who better to know him too than his own brother as what he is really like.
But I do respect his and your right of free speech, having your own views, and even to be fully heard now as well..
(John 15:19 KJV) If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
(John 15:23 KJV) He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
(1 John 2:9 KJV) He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
(1 John 2:11 KJV) But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
(1 John 3:15 KJV) Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
(1 John 4:20 KJV) If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Bashing Pentecostals Christians on the net even by fundamentals is a popular sport in the Roman coliseum it seems these days too

Q: CSS - Div width with strange behavior I am newbie with CSS and working in this code for some hours now...
Please, can someone see this code here http://jsfiddle.net/Nm2s8/2/ and help me? When click in the title to "open" the div, it changes width, I do not know why :(
If I change in the CSS the overflow from class "winhdn" to visible, the width stays the same... for me it is a crazy behavior...
HTML:

      Title 01

      estibulum iaculis lacinia est. Proin dictum elementum velit. Fusce euismod consequat ante. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Pellentesque sed dolor. Aliquam congue fermentum nisl. Mauris accumsan nulla vel diam. Sed in lacus ut enim adipisc aliquet. Nulla venenatis. In pede mi, aliquet sit amet, euismod in, auctor ut, ligula. Aliquam dapibus tincidunt metus. Praesent justo dolor, lobortis quis, lobortis dignissim, pulvinar ac, lorem. Vestibulum sed ante.

      Title 02

      estibulum iaculis lacinia est. Proin dictum elementum velit. Fusce euismod consequat ante. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Pellentesque sed dolor. Aliquam congue fermentum nisl. Mauris accumsan nulla vel diam. Sed in lacus ut enim adipisc aliquet. Nulla venenatis. In pede mi, aliquet sit amet, euismod in, auctor ut, ligula. Aliquam dapibus tincidunt metus. Praesent justo dolor, lobortis quis, lobortis dignissim, pulvinar ac, lorem. Vestibulum sed ante.

CSS:
.resopt { display:inline-block; width:100%; margin:8px 0 12px 0; }
.resopt .resico { float:left; width:34px; height:34px; margin:-10px 6px 0 2px; }
.resopt .winshw { overflow:visible; min-height:100px; border:2px solid #389CF2; border-radius:8px 8px 0 0; background-color:#E6F2FF; background-image:url(http://www.google.com/mapfiles/zoom-minus.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:right 8px top 5px; background-position-x:99%; background-position-y:5px; }
.resopt .winhdn { overflow:hidden; height:26px; border:2px solid #389CF2; border-radius:8px 8px 8px 8px; background-color:#E6F2FF; background-image:url(http://www.abertay.ac.uk/media/zoom-plus.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:right 8px top 5px; background-position-x:99%; background-position-y:5px; }
.resopt .wintop { height:26px; border-bottom:1px solid #389CF2; cursor:pointer; }
.resopt .wintop span { font-size:15; font-weight:bold; line-height:26px; color:#585858; }
.resopt .restxt { padding:10px 14px 14px 14px; font-size:15px; text-align:justify; line-height:19px; color:#484848; background-color:#F9F9F9; }

JS:
jQuery(function($) {
  $(".wintop").click(function() {
    var newId = $(this).parent();
    if (newId.hasClass("winhdn")){
      newId.removeClass("winhdn");
      newId.addClass("winshw");
    } else {
      newId.removeClass("winshw");
      newId.addClass("winhdn");
    }
  })
});

Thank you!

A: change overflow:visible to overflow:hidden in .resopt .winshw
.resopt .winshw
{
  overflow:hidden;
}

A: It's due to "formatting context" : http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=6BC9D
"Floats don't overlap each other, and neither will a float overlap an element that establishes a new block formatting context."
                 .resopt .winshw {
                 overflow:hidden;
                 min-height:100px;
                 /*.. */
                 }

See here

A: Well, I did it using "position:absolute" to the image, and add extra margin-left to the title text. Here is the result: http://jsfiddle.net/Nm2s8/5/
.resopt .resico { position:absolute; width:34px; height:34px; margin:-10px 6px 0 2px;

.resopt .wintop span { margin-left:44px; font-size:15; font-weight:bold; line-height:26px; color:#585858; }

Thank you everyone! Hope this help some people in the future!

'A large expensive audience'; or Charity begins at Lady Sibyl's home
Exactly one hundred years ago today, there was a poetry reading, in aid of charity, held at the home of Lady Sibyl Colefax, later a highly successful interior decorator. Those taking part included Aldous Huxley, the actress and later playwright Viola Tree (daughter of Herbert Beerbohm Tree), Robert Nichols, T. S. Eliot and the Sitwells.
In a letter to his mother, some ten days later, Eliot told her: 'I assisted in a poetry reading last week at the house of some rich person for the benefit of something. A hundred and fifty people were induced to pay 10/6 each, so it was rather a rich audience. Edmund Gosse presided, and a number of "young poets" of whom I believe I was the oldest, read. It was rather amusing, as the audience and most of the poets were very solemn, and I read some light satirical stuff, and some of them didn't know what to make of it.'[1]
The broad-backed hippopotamus
Rests on his belly in the mud;
Although he seems so firm to us
He is merely flesh and blood.
Flesh and blood is weak and frail,
Susceptible to nervous shock;
While the True Church can never fail
For it is based upon a rock.
Forty years later, reading at Columbia, Eliot remarked: 'This is a poem which I originally read, I remember, at a poetry reading for the benefit of some Red Cross affair with Sir Edmund Gosse in the chair, and he was profoundly shocked. On the other hand, the late Arnold Bennett liked it better than anything I'd written up to the time of his death, and kept asking me to write "another Hippopotamus.". . . it's the only poem of mine which I've any reason to suppose that James Joyce ever read.' Eliot also read 'A Cooking Egg' at the charity event and, as Richard Aldington mentions in his autobiography, the poem's mention of Sir Alfred Mond provoked 'a rumpus in the audience', as Lady Mond 'sailed indignantly out of the room'.[2] (In fact, Joyce parodied The Waste Land in a letter to Harriet Weaver; and also wrote of it in a notebook, 'T. S. Eliot ends idea of poetry for ladies.')[3]
(Viola Tree)
Aldous Huxley was a little more expansive about the evening, in a letter of 13 December 1917 to his brother Julian. 'I spent a strange day yesterday in town—being a performing poet for the sake of charity or something before a large expensive audience of the BEST PEOPLE. Gosse in the chair—the bloodiest little old man I have ever seen—dear Robbie Ross stage-managing, Bob Nichols thrusting himself to the fore as the leader of us young bards (bards was the sort of thing Gosse called us)—then myself, Viola Tree, a girl called McLeod and troops of Shufflebottoms, alias Sitwells bringing up the rear: last and best, Eliot. But oh—what a performance: Eliot and I were the only people who had any dignity: Bob Nichols raved and screamed and hooted and moaned his filthy war poems like a Lyceum villain who hasn't learnt how to act: Viola Tree declaimed in a voice so syrupy and fruity and rich, that one felt quite cloyed and sick by two lines: the Shufflebottoms were respectable but terribly nervous: the Macleod became quite intoxicated by her own verses: Gosse was like a reciter at a penny reading. The best part of the whole affair was dinner at the Sitwells' afterwards'.[4]
Nichols was one of the earliest war poets to achieve significant success. He was friends with both Graves and Sassoon—and Huxley, subsequently—and was close at hand when D. H. Lawrence died in March 1930 (Sybille Bedford prints his long letter to Dr Henry Head in her biography of Huxley).[5] Nichols' poetry hasn't lasted too well, unable as he was to evade the grip of the poetic conventions of the period even under the unprecedented pressures of the war.
They are bringing him down,
He looks at me wanly.
The bandages are brown,
Brown with mud, red only—
But how deep a red! in the breast of the shirt,
Deepening red too, as each whistling breath
Is drawn with the suck of a slow-filling squirt
While waxen cheeks waste to the pallor of death.
O my comrade![6]
(Robert Nichols)
Aldous Huxley, on the other hand, is barely known as a poet even to those familiar with his novels and essays, though his first four published books were all volumes of poetry. While at Oxford, Robert Graves commented in a letter to Siegfried Sassoon, he had seen 'a lot of the Garsington people [Lady Ottoline Morrell's house] who were charming to me, and of the young Oxford poets, Aldous Huxley, Wilfred Childe and Thomas Earp – exceptionally nice people but a trifle decayed, as you might say.'[7]
In the previous year's The Burning Wheel, Huxley—albeit a trifle decayed—had written 'A Canal':
No dip and dart of swallows wakes the black
Slumber of the canal: —a mirror dead
For lack of loveliness remembered
From ancient azures and green trees, for lack
of some white beauty given and flung back,
Secret, to her that gave: no sun has bled
To wake an echo here of answering red;
The surface stirs to no leaf's wind-blown track. . .[8]
Garsington would loom larger for Sassoon a few months later when he went to consult Philip and Ottoline Morrell and ask their advice about his intended protest. Sassoon's famous statement followed soon after his meeting in London with Bertrand Russell and Middleton Murry. Psychiatric treatment with W. H. R. Rivers at Craiglockhart—and a meeting with the young Wilfred Owen—beckoned.

The os intermetatarseum is a rare accessory bone (ossicle) of the foot occurring in approximately 4% of the population, which ossifies during adolescence or preadolescence and may be responsible for midfoot pain.
This accessory bone is typically positioned near the base of the first and second metatarsals bone (long bones in the feet) but has been reported to occur near or between the fourth and fifth metatarsal bases (midfoot).
Free standing – completely detached accessory bone which does not show any connection with any other structure.
Articulating – forms a joint with first or second, metatarsal or the medial cuneiform bone.
Fused – forms a bony projection within the first or second intermetatarsal space.
Tight shoes, ankle instability and cavus or pes planus foot type exacerbate condition.
Post trauma, may cause midfoot pain and paraesthesis radiating from the top of the foot to the big toe and second toe.
Pain and numbness increases with plantar flexion of the foot and dorsiflexion of the toes, if the deep peroneal nerve is trapped.
Can be a cause of midfoot pain and should be considered in your differential diagnosis.
Reduction from activity or sports until symptoms reduce.
Orthotic therapy to correct foot type and abnormal biomechanics, reducing the impact of the problematic bone with a good foot posture.
Removal of the problematic bone.
Deep peroneal nerve release relieves the symptoms of pain and paraesthesia, if conservative treatments fail to reduce symptoms.
If you are experiencing midfoot pain or numbness in the toes come and see us at Well Heeled Podiatry as we are trained and experienced in dealing with all lower limb concerns and pathologies.

Bosso gives Flying Eagles yuletide period off after NPFL tests
Nigeria's U20 boys, Flying Eagles turned back NPFL side, Lobi Stars 2-0 on Saturday morning at FIFA Goal Project AstroTurf in Abuja to round off the first phase of the team's preparations for the forthcoming Africa U20 Cup of Nations on a high note.
Haliru Sarki broke the deadlock in a closely-fought game with a well-taken free kick in the 76th minute, and 10 minutes later, prolific Olusegun Otusanya sealed the victory for the Ladan Bosso-tutored side after an assist from Dominion Ohaka. The win was the second for the U20 boys in three games against NPFL sides as Bosso's squad maintained their rich vein of form.
Earlier on Friday, the Egypt-bound team forced Nasarawa United to a 1-1 draw with Olamilekan Adams scoring the equaliser four minutes to the end of the game.
On Thursday, the Ladan Bosso-led team knocked Wikki Tourists 2-0 with goals from Olamilekan Adams and Olusegun Otusanya stamping the win for the seven-time African Champions.
The win against Lobi Stars was the eighth game the Flying Eagles had played (with seven wins and a draw) since the team opened camp on 28th November.
The Flying Eagles will now embark on a two-week recess and are expected to resume camp in the first week of January for the final phase of preparations ahead of the Final Tournament of the Africa U20 in Egypt. The TotalEnergies U20 Africa Cup of Nations Egypt 2023 will be played between 19 February and 11 March 2023.
Meanwhile, the Draw Ceremony for the U20 AFCON is billed to take place in Cairo, Egypt on Friday, 23rd December.
The qualified countries are hosts Egypt, Tunisia, Nigeria, Benin, Senegal, The Gambia, Uganda, South Sudan, Mozambique, Zambia, Central African Republic and Congo.

As you probably know from my previous posts, MPEG is standardizing a way to deliver WebVTT files as streams (or tracks) in the ISO Base Media File Format (e.g. MP4 files). The standard is still at draft stage but I recently added VTT-in-MP4 support to GPAC (no playback support yet), as reported in the contribution below. Not that this support might change in the future depending on how the draft standard progresses, in particular in response to some comments we've made, as reported in the contribution referenced in this post.
@Cyril – I was trying to use mp4box v0.5.0 for encapsulating WebVTT today but wasn't able to make it work. Is it part of the mp4box codebase or waiting to be merged?
WebVTT in MP4 is part of the MP4Box's codebase but v0.5.0 is too old. You should get the nightly builds from: https://gpac.wp.imt.fr/downloads/gpac-nightly-builds/ Let me know if you still have problems.


Before the summer politicians and pundits said Britain was heading for a triple-dip recession.
Now, after a few weeks of sun, we are told it's "Boom Britain". Is this just silly season euphoria or something more?
In June, most sectors of the British economy did a bit better than expected. Manufacturing grew by 2 percent according to the Office for National Statistics.
Services grew at their highest rate for six years. Car sales increased by 13 percent in June and house prices rose at their fastest rate in three years.
Of course house prices are not a sign of economic health. Nor is relying on what Margaret Thatcher called "the Great Car economy".
The headlines paint a picture that doesn't match the reality of life for millions of working class people.
Average households in Britain have lost around £1,300 a year in real terms since 2010.
A recent TUC report states the rate of household savings has dropped by 43 percent in the past year, as people try to cope with rising prices.
So where is the cash coming from?
People are trying to borrow, as they did in the years before the crash in 2008. The Tories hope a housing bubble will help them win the next general election.
Their Funding for Lending scheme last year (see below) handed essentially free money to banks if they agreed to lend some of it.
This has stimulated the housing market, and led to a 3 percent increase in house sales. When people move house, they buy stuff—paint, wallpaper, beds and the like.
And when prices go up it helps wealthier homeowners and buy-to-let landlords to borrow and spend more.
This is partly why consumer spending is rising. It is also why the Tories are putting their hopes in an increase in consumer spending in time for the next election.
Money is funnelled into the property market, reinvigorating the speculation that led to the crisis in the first place and further concentrating inequality.
The medium term effect of this is to increase debt. Wages can't pay rising costs but credit is available, in the form of credit cards or payday loans for us and large loans for the speculators.
Meanwhile the new governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, has promised to hold interest rates at 0.5 percent—the lowest in 300 years.
Though that doesn't mean low interest for ordinary people's debt. The rate will stay the same until unemployment falls below 7 percent.
That would mean some 750,000 people finding jobs—which may take some time.
Carney's "guidance" was designed to reassure bosses about future borrowing costs. But it came with a number of get-out clauses.
We are being invited to borrow more while bosses refuse to give workers the hours, jobs or pay they really need.
The new "recovery", even if it does last, is based on sand.
There's still 3.3 percent less stuff produced in Britain today than before the recession in 2008, according to GDP figures.
And in key sectors it is worse. Manufacturing output remains 14 percent below its pre-recession peak.
Construction expanded a little but is still over 17 percent lower than before 2008.
It will be a long time before the economy makes up the ground that has been lost.
And that relies on the global economy improving.
The markets have calmed down a bit thanks to a few quiet months from the Eurozone crisis. But as economist Michael Roberts points out, "Greece is still bust, Spain depressed and Italy paralysed.
With Chinese growth slowing, there are global trends which could easily wipe out the recent gains in Britain.
Money is being thrown at housing. But it is going to developers and landlords rather than people who need housing.
Britain needs to build more homes yet the Treasury is fuelling higher house prices.
Fewer than half the 220,000 new homes they admit are needed every year are being built.
Chains of private landlords are renting out a third of the council houses sold off—at higher rents.
In the deregulated private rented sector, tenants are ripped off by agencies imposing hundreds of pounds in "admin fees" for insecure tenancies.
Meanwhile the comfortable own 2.3 million second homes in England and Wales to enjoy weekends away.
There's more than enough housing but the five million on waiting lists for social housing will never get to see it.
But building council houses doesn't produce as much profit as a housing bubble—so the Tories aren't interested.
The Bank of England cut interest rates to encourage banks to lend money to each other and firms.
Then they printed them cash, known as "quantitative easing".
That's their jargon for one side of their twin approach for the crisis.
The other is "fiscal austerity"—the swathes of cuts to jobs and services.
In other words they give money to the bankers and bosses and take it from the poor.
Right wing economist Milton Friedman described quantitative easing as throwing money from a helicopter.
But only the rich are allowed to catch it.
New Bank of England governor Mark Carney gets a £874,000 annual pay packet.
Carney worked for 13 years as an investment banker with Goldman Sachs. He advised Russia during its 1998 financial crisis while the bank was betting against the country's ability to repay its debt.
From 2004 to 2007, Carney worked with the Canadian Department of Finance. It slashed billions from welfare and cut taxes for the rich.
Economists consider the 2.5 million unemployed as manageable.
The jobless number would be higher without the growth in underemployment and cuts in people's hours.
At the same time the past five years have brought workers the deepest pay cuts of the modern age, according to the Institute of Fiscal Studies.
Real wages have been falling for over 40 months, the longest squeeze since the 1870s.

Chia Thye Poh (b. 1941–) is a former member of parliament and political detainee. He was arrested and detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) in October 1966, and was not charged or tried until his conditional release in May 1989. The government attributed Chia's detention to his alleged membership in the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) and involvement in violent subversive activities – allegations that Chia has denied.1
Chia attended both an English and a Chinese primary school before proceeding to the Chinese High School for his secondary education. In an interview, Chia ascribed his political consciousness to events during his secondary-school days, such as the anti-colonial movements in Asia and Africa, the independence movement in Singapore and perceived colonial discrimination against Chinese education in Singapore. Chia went on to Nanyang University in 1958, where he was vice-chairman of the students' union.2
After graduating from Nanyang University with a degree in physics, Chia taught briefly in Chung Cheng High School before returning to Nanyang University as a graduate assistant in the physics department.3
Political career
Chia had initially planned to further his studies overseas, but instead stood as a candidate for the Barisan Sosialis (Malay for "Socialist Front") political party in the 1963 Legislative Assembly elections after a number of the party's leadership were detained under the Preservation of Public Security Ordinance (PPSO; later the ISA) in February 1963. Standing in the ward of Jurong, he was elected after winning a four-cornered contest.4
With Singapore then a part of Malaysia, Chia was both a member of the Legislative Assembly in Singapore and the Malaysian Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives).5
While a member of the assembly, Chia raised topics such as the detention of Barisan members, trade unionists and those opposed to the formation of Malaysia, the revocation of Tan Lark Sye's citizenship, the government's plans for those affected by urban renewal and the banning of rural and hawkers' organisations. Chia also criticised the merger with Malaysia as causing hardship for the populace and called on the Malaysian government to negotiate an end to hostilities with the Indonesian government.6
Chia was a member of the Barisan's central executive committee and the editor of its Chinese-language party organ, The Barisan. When Barisan chairman Lee Siew Choh resigned from his post in May 1964, Chia was described as being part of a group of Nanyang University graduates who had taken control of the party.7
In September 1964, Chia and the Barisan were sued for libel by Yap Bor Lim, the chairman of the Nanyang University Students' Fellowship. The suit referred to statements about Yap in the Barisan's Chinese-language party organ. In May the following year, the High Court awarded Yap S$5,000 in damages, with the amount reduced to S$3,000 upon publication of an apology.8
After Singapore's separation from Malaysia and independence in August 1965, Chia was one of eight Barisan members of the Legislative Assembly who boycotted the first sitting of the Parliament of Singapore in December. They justified the boycott on the grounds of what they termed the "undemocratic acts" of the People's Action Party government.9
On 15 April 1966, Chia was arrested with fellow Barisan member of parliament Koo Young on a sedition charge. The charge related to an article in the 11 December 1965 issue of The Barisan, which alleged that the government had plotted to murder Barisan secretary-general Lim Chin Siong, then a political detainee. After a trial that included testimonies from political detainees including Lim, Lim Hock Siew and Said Zahari, Chia and Koo were found guilty and fined S$2,000 each.10
Chia then spoke at the annual delegates' conference of the Labour Party of Malaya's Perak Division in Ipoh on 24 April, where he called for armed struggle in Malaysia along the lines of what was happening in Vietnam at the time. As a result of his speech, the Malaysian government banned Chia from entering the country.11
On 3 July 1966, Chia was part of a demonstration to protest the United States' war with Vietnam. He was arrested with 19 others at Nankin Street and charged with unlawful assembly. Chia was found guilty on 12 October and sentenced to a fine of S$500 or three months' jail. He chose to go to jail until the Barisan paid the fine for his release on 24 October.12
Resignation from parliament and arrest
Having boycotted parliament since December 1965, the Barisan announced the resignation of all eight of its members of parliament on 7 October 1966. Chia was quoted by The Straits Times as saying, "We cannot remain in Parliament because parliamentary democracy is dead. You can say we are now taking our struggle to the streets. We are going to strengthen our extra-parliamentary struggle. It takes various forms – street demonstrations, protest meetings, strikes." He also called for the government to hold general elections under eight conditions, including the release of political detainees and the revocation of "undemocratic" laws.13
Chia tendered a letter of resignation on behalf of all eight members, but the mass resignation was rejected by Speaker of Parliament Punch Coomaraswamy, who decided that the members had to tender their resignations individually. Chia's resignation, however, was accepted on 26 October.14
On 29 October, Chia was arrested at 4.15 p.m. at the Barisan's Victoria Street headquarters and detained under the ISA, which allows for detention without trial. The Straits Times reported that Chia, along with other leftist leaders and trade unionists, were arrested before carrying out a planned demonstration against the Vietnam War that was to coincide with the visit of then United States president Lyndon Johnson to Malaysia.15
Political detention
Over the next two decades, Chia was remanded at Queenstown Prison, Moon Crescent Detention Centre and Whitley Road Detention Centre.16 Chia stated that he was not physically assaulted or tortured throughout his detention, but suffered the psychological effects of being placed in solitary confinement.17 On a number of occasions, the authorities sought to persuade Chia to sign a statement renouncing the use of violent methods to overthrow the government in order to secure his release. He refused these offers, saying in a 1989 interview, "To renounce violence is to imply you advocated violence before. If I had signed that statement I would not have lived in peace."18
In legal challenges to his detention in 1967 and 1971, Chia's lawyer T. T. Rajah failed to get his detention overturned.19 Chia was later represented by member of parliament and lawyer J. B. Jeyaretnam, who raised his detention in parliament and publicly a number of times in the 1980s. Throughout his detention, Chia declined to appear before the ISA advisory board to contest his detention.20
The government did not provide an explanation for Chia's detention until May 1985, when then Minister for Home Affairs S. Jayakumar stated in parliament that Chia was a member of the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) and had engaged in illegal activities to destabilise the government. Jayakumar added that the government would release Chia if he issued a public renunciation of the CPM and the use of violence to overthrow the government.21 In reply, Chia wrote a letter to the minister protesting the allegation that he was a member of the CPM.22
In 1987, the Canadian government offered political asylum to Chia after his detention had been publicised by the Canadian branch of the human-rights group Amnesty International. Chia declined the offer.23
Chia was then released from prison in May 1989, but was restricted to residence on the island of Sentosa along with restrictions on public speech and political activity. The following year, the restrictions were amended to allow him to visit the mainland of Singapore between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. daily, and to allow him employment with the permission of the Internal Security Department. He later worked as a freelance translator for the Sentosa Development Corporation.24
In November 1992, Chia was allowed to live on the mainland and moved into his parents' flat in Ang Mo Kio. His travel restrictions were lifted in November 1996, allowing Chia to take up a one-year research fellowship in Hamburg, Germany, before the government removed all restrictions on him in November 1998. That same month, he called for the abolition of the ISA. Chia went on to study for a doctorate at the Institute of Social Studies in The Hague, the Netherlands, and resided mainly in Europe.25
In December 2011, Chia received the Lim Lian Geok Spirit Award in Kuala Lumpur. The award is considered one of the highest honours in the Malaysian Chinese community and is bestowed on individuals who have served the Chinese culture or people.26

Q: Como somar a diagonal principal de uma matriz em python? Estou desenvolvendo um algoritmo e quero saber se existe algum comando para somar a diagonal principal de uma matriz no Python

A: No Python não há uma função própria para tal, mas implementá-la é bastante trivial.
Uma matriz quadrada n x n pode ser representada como:
| (1, 1)   (1, 2)   (1, 3)   ...   (1, n) |
| (2, 1)   (2, 2)   (2, 3)   ...   (2, n) |
| (3, 1)   (3, 2)   (3, 3)   ...   (3, n) |
|  ...      ...      ...     ...    ...   |
| (n, 1)   (n, 2)   (n, 3)   ...   (n, n) |

Onde a diagonal principal é composta por: (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), ..., (n, n); ou seja, todos os valores na posição (i, j) em que i = j.
Assim, como o índice no Python inicia em 0, você precisa percorrer de 0 a n-1, sendo n o tamanho da matriz.
def soma_diagonal_principal(matriz):
    n = len(matriz)
    assert n == len(matriz[0]), 'Matriz precisa ser quadrada'
    return sum(matriz[i][i] for i in range(n))

O assert na função assegurará que a matriz seja quadrada.
A biblioteca NumPy possui a função numpy.trace que retorna a soma da diagonal.

A: n= 4

m= [[2,6,4,3],[2,4,6,4],[5,1,0,4],[4,5,4,6]]

sum_diagonal = sum(m[i][i]for i in range(n))

print(sum_diagonal)

ImpactAssets Clients Lean Into Impact Investing During COVID Pandemic
Impact Investments increase tenfold while grants rise 400% in the first half of 2020 in a show of unprecedented generosity.
Submitted by ImpactAssets
ImpactAssets, a $1.2 billion nonprofit impact investment firm, today released figures showing clients placed $170 million in impact investments and $82 million in grants in the first half of 2020. This reflects a total of $252 million of funding in private mission-driven businesses, impact funds and nonprofit organizations, up from $17.5 million invested and $20 million granted in the first six months of 2019.
A key driver of the tenfold increase in impact investing and four-times increase in granting was a robust response to the COVID pandemic by ImpactAssets clients who support opportunities that catalyze and fund critical response efforts across the U.S. and around the world.
Of the total $252 million placed, ImpactAssets donors invested and granted $213 million in the following three COVID-related critical needs areas:
Stop the Spread: $160M supporting "front line heroes," such as health care workers and essential workers, by investing in immediate and evolving frontline COVID-19 healthcare and PPE needs such as testing, treatments, vaccinations, PPE and health care delivery.
Preserve the Progress: $24M dedicated to preserving the progress in climate and social justice by supporting high-impact environmental and social entrepreneurs whose demise in an economic downturn would result in significant regression against those causes.
Business and Community Resilience: $29M focused on supporting people and small businesses who have been hit hardest by the health and economic crisis, particularly the unbanked, low-income communities and communities of color.
"Our clients have stepped up with a profound commitment to support critical solutions to the pandemic and provide essential financial support for vulnerable communities, small businesses and impact entrepreneurs," said ImpactAssets CEO and Chief Investment Officer, Margret Trilli. "The crisis is far from over and the need for philanthropic investments is as great as ever. Impact investing and philanthropy have a critical role in overcoming the pandemic, reviving the economy and enabling a safe return to work and school."
Timely investments made to meet critical needs exacerbated by the pandemic include:
The Working World/Seed Commons
Hope Enterprise
One Acre Fund
Komaza
CNote
Employment Technology Fund
Impact America Fund
Geneticure
Hawthorne Effect
"We're thrilled that our clients are leading the charge to fight the pandemic by putting their philanthropic capital to work to fund some of the most creative, cutting-edge responses to the COVID crisis—and beyond," said Eric Meissner, Director, Custom Investments and Business Analytics.
ImpactAssets has expanded its COVID response significantly since the pandemic ignited in the U.S. In June, ImpactAssets and Stop the Spread combined forces to bring together impact investing and private and public sector resources to solve the immediate and evolving needs of this urgent public health crisis. Stop the Spread is the leading coalition of 1,300+ CEOs and executives, volunteers and subject-matter-experts working to catalyze actions and support governmental response to COVID-19.

Are the lyrics in "Teardrop" by Massive Attack "feathers" or "fearless"
OK, I'm changing this question a little bit since I've discovered a problem with the root of the question assuming the lyrics in the song are "feathers on my breath". Apparently this is a big debate and a lot of people think the lyrics are "fearless on my breath". So which is it, feathers or fearless?
Here are links to the song and the lyrics.
I should note that I've listened to all the covers of this song listed on Wikipedia and three of them use "fearless" and two use "feathers", also one of the ones that uses "fearless" messes up the line "love is a doing word" as "love is a dying word".
As a note, I'm of the opinion that the lyrics are "feathers on my breath" and that the pronunciation is simply strange enough to sound like "fearless". I'm not interested in speculative answers, I need a scan of a lyrics insert or an official source or statement from someone.

For what it's worth, there's a live performance video on YouTube and it definitely looks like Liz is saying "fearless" rather than "feathers". To put it in context though, this is the first time I've ever had any idea whatsoever of what lyrics she is singing. I'm not a huge fan of the Cocteaus but it's always really been a case of accepting the beauty of what she does rather than try to understand the words. – Lefty Dec 18 '15 at 23:47
I think listening to the 2006 remaster help prove it is fearless. youtu.be/Kcd-yceje38 – UnhandledExcepSean May 24 at 0:19
Countering my last comment, I was watching an episode of House where the song was played and sung during the episode; subtitles show feathers... – UnhandledExcepSean Jul 7 at 12:19
I am answering this myself because someone made a really good point as I was discussing it today at work.
A: The word is "feathers"
The rest of the lyrics are full of physical, natural metaphors, feathers on my breath for example is a much more natural analogue to teardrop on the fire, water is my eye, black flowers blossom
Fearless is an adjective in this context, and the chorus "teardrop on the fire, feathers on my breath" matches the same grammatical structure -- noun on my noun, noun on my noun. This seems like a deliberate, poetic choice.
My only addition would be to point out that the singer uses strange pronunciations of words through the song. The best example to my point being her pronunciation of "breath" as "brayth", yet when she says "feathers" it sounds like "fearless" just as an English speaker would expect "fearless" to be pronounced. I believe she is saying feathers with her iconic strange accent and pronouncing it, "fee-aythers".
It also seems to fit with Gentle impulsion / Shakes me, makes me lighter – user16 Feb 4 '16 at 23:58
See the sheet music for Teardrop which has the full lyrics. You can preview all 6 pages of the sheet music, and the lyric is "fearless". – Nate Bundy Sep 8 '16 at 12:45
@NateBundy do we know that the songwriter has ratified that version though? – user16 Dec 29 '16 at 10:27
The lyrics are: feathers on my breath. A tear drop on the fire. Get it? Since a feather is as light as breath. And a tear drop couldnt do anything to extinguish a fire. Metaphors. And I believe the end is..."your stumbling into oz.".
Christina LopezChristina Lopez
I wouldn't try to decipher the poetic meaning or structure behind the line as you can easily form a case for either fearless or feathers.
It's also very likely that there is no meaning to the words at all, or the pronunciation is intentionally vague. In this interview, Liz Fraser describes her writing process as one where the words don't have any real meaning beyond adding vocals to the music.
The pronunciation may also be attributed to the singer's accent. Fraser is from Grangemouth, Scotland which is is just 60km East of Glasgow. I'm not an expert on Scottish accents, but it might be feasible to compare the word in the song to the word in a Glasgow accent. A semi-popular example is the Feathers and Steel sketch from Limmy's Show. The word feathers is pronounced with a short eh sound rather than the long ee heard in the song.
So I'm learning towards it being either fearless or left ambiguous by the singer.

Online lyric websites often get it wrong, I've seen it plenty of times, and most of them even just copy each other, because so often I see the same misquoted lyrics on multiple sites. But is it wrong in this case?
If this sheet music of the original Massive Attack version is correct, then it is "fearless" and Jose Gonzalez (et. al.) either changed it or got it wrong.
This is the first page of the sheet music which you can buy from here.
I have read elsewhere that it might even be "fearless" in some parts and "feathers" in others. If someone wants to pay for the sheet music and post more of what they find we might finally know the official answer once and for all.

The answer is "fearless". She is describing the concept of love as a verb in the line before that should be expressed with a sense of complete freedom from fear i.e. to be said such that it is "fearless on my breath".
This is in keeping with the theme of the video showing a fetus - the most vivid representation of human vulnerability - singing these very words to us as a reminder to enter the world without fear.
The effect is at once humbling and awe-inspiring. Great songwriting there.
Definitely "fearless" because the song is about how love is a verb and a doing word. Feathers are not an action. Therefore fearless is the way to go. I've never seen feathers anywhere, I know Elizabeth Frasier does that thing with words where you're not 100% sure what she's singing, but I'm pretty sure that album had lyrics in the original liner ave I'm also almost positive it's fearless. You did give me something to ponder though, thanks!

It is 'feathers on my breath'. I got the original CD which included an insert with the lyrics for teardrop.

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Jazz Band, led by James Flowers, and the IUP Jazz Ensemble, led by Kevin Eisensmith will present their Fall Jazz Concert on Saturday, November 3, at 7:00 p.m. in Fisher Auditorium as a part of the Sound Choices series.
The featured soloist for this performance is Joshua Hillard (BSEd '01) on trumpet. Hillard is currently employed by the Altoona Area School District, where he teaches elementary band and general music and directs the Elementary Jazz Band. He also teaches jazz history at Penn State at the satellite PSU Altoona campus. His performance and recording credits include Blue Moon Big Band, Keystone Winds, Jazz in Your Face, Zeropoint Big Band, Altoona Symphony, Johnstown Symphony, and Blair County Brassworks. Hillard maintains an active private trumpet studio where his students have gone on to be all-state musicians, music educators, military band members, and successful freelance performers.
The IUP Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Kevin Eisensmith, is one of the many accredited ensembles within the Department of Music at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Made up of 18 musicians from various fields of study within the university, the ensemble was started in 1938 as a dance band by Valgene Roush, and later, known as "The Mellowmen," was directed by Charlie Davis. It continued through the 1970s and 1980s under the direction of Daniel DiCicco, evolving with the changes of jazz and popular music. Gary Bird led the band from the late 1980s until 1998.
Today's band performs a mixture of jazz styles from Latin to swing, ballads to fusion, and performs approximately 10 times during the year.
