Q: Canvas - drawImage() after clearRect() I have a problem. I am creating simple game in Canvas using JavaScript. Image doesn't display after call clearRect(), does anyone know, how to solve it?

var left1 = 0;
var context1 = document.getElementById('canvas1').getContext('2d');
render1();
function render1() {
   var image = new Image();
   image.onload = function () {
       context1.drawImage(image, left1, 0, 200, 200);
   };
   image.src = 'http://www.pngall.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Earth-Free-Download-PNG.png';
   left1++;
   requestAnimationFrame(render1);
}

var left2 = 0;
var context2 = document.getElementById('canvas2').getContext('2d');
render2();
function render2() {
   context2.clearRect(0, 0, 500, 250);
   var image = new Image();
   image.onload = function () {
       context2.drawImage(image, left2, 0, 200, 200);
   };
   image.src = 'http://www.pngall.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Earth-Free-Download-PNG.png';
   left2++;
   requestAnimationFrame(render2);
}
canvas {
  display: block;
}
It works, but old images are not deleted:
<canvas id="canvas1" height="250" width="500"></canvas>

It doesn't work, because of clearRect():
<canvas id="canvas2" height="250" width="500"></canvas>

A: if you try to animate your image  , its not necessary to make two canvas instead use a timer , i hope this will help
`
    var left1 = 0;
    var context1 = document.getElementById('canvas1').getContext('2d');
    var canvas1 = document.getElementById('canvas1');
    window.onload = init;

    function init() {
        setInterval(drawc, 1000 / 60);
    };

    function drawc() {
        if (left1 > canvas1.width) {
            left1 = 0;
        }
        render1();
    }

    function render1() {

        with(context1) {
            clearRect(0, 0, canvas1.width, canvas1.height);
            var image = new Image();
            image.src = 'http://www.pngall.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Earth-Free-Download-PNG.png';
            beginPath();
            drawImage(image, left1, 0, 200, 200);
            closePath();
            fill();
            left1++;
            // requestAnimationFrame(render1);
        }
    };

Relational Physics
Why is it interesting?
It is usually stated that the fundamental insight of general relativity is that there is no gravitational field at all. The gravitational force is rather an illusion due to the curvature of spacetime.
However, we can also make a completely contrary argument, which is what Einstein realised after several decades. Instead of the statement above, we can take as the fundamental insight of general relativity that there is no spacetime, only the gravitational field! This line of thought is described nicely in the book "Quantum Gravity" by Rovelli and is based on the "hole argument". Se also this essay.
Similar statements can be made for other theories, like gauge theories. This is discussed, for example, in the section "Towards a Pointless Theory" in the book "Some elementary gauge theory concepts".
These ideas are summarized under the notion "relational physics".
The basic idea is that the only thing that matters are the points where worldlines of different objects meets. Everything else is not observable and hence has no meaning. In this sense there is no spacetime and no "inner spaces". The only things that matter are relative relations between objects. Everything else can not be observed, because an observation necessarily implies that objects meet.
'There is no law except the law that there is no law… Ultimate mutability is the central feature of physics.' -John Wheeler
The requirement of general covariance "takes away from space and time the last remnant of physical reality Einstein
Einstein believed that the hole argument implies that the only meaningful definition of location and time is through matter. A point in spacetime is meaningless in itself, because the label which one gives to such a point is undetermined. Spacetime points only acquire their physical significance because matter is moving through them. In his words: "All our space-time verifications invariably amount to a determination of space-time coincidences. If, for example, events consisted merely in the motion of material points, then ultimately nothing would be observable but the meeting of two or more of these points."[7] He considered this the deepest insight of general relativity. According to this insight, the physical content of any theory is exhausted by the catalog of the spacetime coincidences it licenses. John Stachel called this principle, the point-coincidence argument.[1] Generally what is invariant under active diffeomorphisms, and hence gauge invariant, are the coincidences between the value the gravitational field and the value the matter field have at the same 'place' because the gravitational field and the matter field get dragged across together with each other under an active diffeomorphism. From these coincidences one can form a notion of matter being located with respect to the gravitational field. As Carlo Rovelli puts it: "No more fields on spacetime: just fields on fields."[4] This is the true meaning[clarification needed] of the saying "The stage disappears and becomes one of the actors"; space-time as a 'container' over which physics takes place has no objective physical meaning and instead the gravitational interaction is represented as just one of the fields forming the world. Einstein referred to his resolution as "beyond my wildest expectations."

Traveler, there are no paths; Paths are made by walking. Antonio Machado
Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.
The central problem is that of the points of space. The debate goes back to Leibniz and Newton. For Leibniz the constituent of all things, both material and spiritual, is provided by monads, which are windowless (we would say they have no internal structure), and the only things that matter are their mutual relationships. Here we seem to recognize the first "definition" given by Bourbaki at the beginning of his discussion of set theory: A set is composed of elements capable of having certain properties and having certain relations among themselves or with elements of other sets. From this ontological point of view the elements, or points, are pre-existent and the problem is to organize them, to give them a structure. From the physical point of view, one postulates with Newton the existence of an absolute space, in which the phenomena occur: positions are predetermined, destined to be inhabited by the accidents of matter. In Mach's philosophy, on the contrary, space is determined by matter ; the most advanced mathematical form is certainly furnished by the Einstein gravitational equations: $$ R_{\mu\nu}-\frac{1}{2}Rg_{\mu \nu} = 8 \pi \kappa T_{\mu\nu}. $$ The right-hand side, $T_{\mu\nu}$, is determined by the matter that happens to be present, or, in more modern form, it is a function of the nongravitational fields, while the left-hand side is a function of only the gravitational field $g_{\mu \nu}$, identified with the metric tensor that defines the geometry. In contrast to Newton's views, the space is no longer a mere receptacle, but an actor in physics, as the bending of light rays in a gravitational field shows. For Mach and Einstein, a point then only appears as a label making it possible to identify an event.
Probably the right mathematical tool to make the ideas of relational physics precise is category theory.
A great recent summary of the relational interpretation of quantum mechanics is "Space is blue and birds fly through it" Carlo Rovelli

National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) has been awarded a contract from the New Jersey Department of Children and Families (NJDCF) to strengthen the state's services to fathers.
Through the provision of training and technical assistance on its flagship 24/7 Dad® program, NFI will help the state's 175 NJDCF-funded agencies deliver standardized, high-quality services to fathers across the state. This 18-month process will give NJDCF the ability to more effectively measure the impact of fatherhood programming on pro-fathering skills, attitudes, and knowledge in New Jersey.
Each of NJDCF's 175 service providers will send two to three staff to a two-day, NFI-run Fatherhood Program Camp. At these camps, the staff will be led through NFI's Father Friendly Check-Up™ workshop to measure the degree to which their current services are catered towards meeting the needs of fathers. Then they will be trained on how to deliver NFI's 24/7 Dad® program, which will help them educate and inspire the fathers they serve with practical skills and encouragement on their importance to their families. They will also be trained on how to integrate NFI's Understanding Domestic Violence™ workshop into the 24/7 Dad® program.
The end goal of this training program will be to create in the service providers an organizational culture that supports the effective delivery of fatherhood programming, to equip them with a research-based fatherhood skill-building program in the form of 24/7 Dad®, and to give the providers the means to effectively address the issue of domestic violence. Ultimately, this program will allow NJDCF to increase the well-being of children throughout New Jersey.
NFI will provide NJDCF with evaluation tools to measure the impact of this program. For example, 24/7 Dad® includes a pre- and post-survey that facilitators can use to measure the impact of the program on pro-fathering self-efficacy, attitudes, and knowledge, and ultimately allow NJDCF to conduct a statewide evaluation on the program's impact. Additionally, NFI will provide reports to NJDCF and each of its providers that show the pre- and post-assessment results of the Father Friendly Check-Up™ to determine whether or not the agencies have become measurably more father friendly over the course of the first year of the program.
National Fatherhood Initiative has a long history of providing comprehensive training and technical assistance on a statewide and national level. NFI has run statewide initiatives on behalf of Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia, and has been involved in consulting with and operating portions of city & county initiatives in Milwaukee, WI and New York City. In 2006, under an open competition, NFI was awarded the administration of the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse. Under this federal contract, NFI provided and coordinated training and technical assistance for all of the approximately 100 fatherhood grantees of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Also in 2006, NFI was awarded a grant to run the National Responsible Fatherhood Capacity-Building Initiative with support from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services / Administration for Children and Families / Office of Family Assistance.
If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about the New Jersey program, or would like to engage NFI on a similar county- or state-wide fatherhood initiative, please contact Erik Vecere, NFI VP of Project Design & Consulting at evecere@fatherhood.org.


In a rare public announcement of military acquisition plans, Chile says it will add three Hercules C-130H transport planes to supplement the air force's airlift capabilities. The acquisition — disclosed in an annual document outlining major government programs and goals — doesn't say from what country the planes are being purchased or if the planes will replace the old Hercules now in service with FACh. The H series Hercules were first delivered in the 1960s, so FACh certainly isn't getting any aircraft in their prime. President Michelle Bachelet's message merely said the planes will be used for troop transport, disaster relief and to reach remote areas of the country — roles that military aviation habitually handles. The government also said plans are proceeding for the purchase of multipurpose medium helicopters, a program that was announced earlier this year. The number or model of the helicopters is not mentioned, and the only background provided is that they'll be used for military operations and disaster relief. In addition, Chile says it will continue to acquire unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). But again, no details on how many or what type. The only detail provided is that the UAVs will be used for surveillance, reconnaissance and, of course, assistance in case of natural disasters. For the Navy, the only acquisition program mentioned was the replacement of the Skymaster light naval reconnaissance planes with P68 aircraft. Deliveries end in 2017. The Army is set to acquire 330 trucks of various types, with the priority going to vehicles capable of handling evacuations and cargo transport. Indeed, Chile is not preparing for war, but for the next natural disaster. Bachelet's document also says the Army is developing new electronic warfare systems and is implementing an integrated data and communications system to better track and control troop movements.
Chile has set up an Army post near the border with Bolivia, in an area known for drug trafficking, auto theft and robberies. Only 13 soldiers are camped out in the small site, which is characterized as an observation post that works with police units in the region. Small as it may be, Bolivia's government has accused Chile of threatening the security of Bolivia and of breaking a treaty between the two nations. It's just the latest in a series of accusations the government of President Evo Morales has made in a thus-far fruitless campaign to win back the territory Chile conquered in the 19th-Century War of the Pacific. Truth be told, Bolivia has its own military post 1 1/2 kilometers from the Chilean border, and it's a much larger facility. Chilean officials, in turn, are accusing Bolivia of creating a controversy. Where is it all leading? Nowhere. Morales may score some political points at home with his bravado, but he has little leverage (or hope) to gain any part of the Pacific Ocean.
Many of Chile's institutions have been caught up in various corruption probes, including government officials, major corporations and the soccer federation. Add the armed forces to that list. It started with accusations that some lower-ranked officers stole funds from a military budget whose expenditures are often kept from the public. Now, investigators are targeting a former head of the Army. Retired Gen. Juan Miguel Fuente-Alba is suspected of having improperly profited while he was commander in chief of the Army. Among the facts that have come to light during the probe is the extensive network of suppliers the Army uses. Some 120 companies sell goods and services to the Army, expenditures that are kept secret under the law. The sums totaled an average of $200 million between 2005 and 2014. That's roughly one-fifth of a budget derived from a 10% tax on sales by the state-owned Codelco mining giant. Under a government transparency program, the salaries of the military commanders is now disclosed. The Army chief makes 4,049,575 pesos a month, or nearly $6,000 in U.S. currency. The Navy's top officer earns close to $6,200 while the top Air Force general gets $6,600. Those are larger paychecks than their counterparts in Peru and Colombia receive, according to El Mercurio. A Chilean Army general in charge of a division earns $5,737 a month, and a brigadier general $5,466. The top Air Force officers make more than Army and Navy officers in the same rank. A FACh general earns $6,336 a month and a brigadier general $6,057.

A Fitting Tribute: Mitchell Community College Dedicates Kutteh Health Sciences Building
Provided by Iredell Free News, By Mike Fuhrman, January 7, 2023
Dr. Hanna Kutteh and his wife Ann spent their honeymoon in separate quarters at Ellis Island after immigrating to the United States in December of 1950.
A week later Dr. Kutteh delivered his first baby at Davis Hospital, beginning a career that would span 50 years and touch the lives of thousands of families in Statesville and the surrounding area.
On Friday afternoon, Mitchell Community College officials dedicated the Kutteh Health Sciences Building in recognition of the Kutteh family's significant contributions to the college and the community.
"Dr. Kutteh dedicated his entire medical career as an obstetrician-gynecologist for five decades," Mitchell President Dr. Tim Brewer said during the ceremony. "In fact, that career started on this very site, where Davis Hospital was once located.
"By his side and throughout was his wife Ann. They made an awesome team, and together they raised a family, built a medical practice and generously served this community and beyond by supporting many philanthropic causes," Brewer added.
The Health Sciences Building opened in the fall of 2020. It houses seven classrooms, five labs and three simulation suites. In addition to Mitchell's nursing program, the $12 million facility houses courses for law enforcement, paramedic and nursing assistant programs.
The Kuttehs' four children, Robert, William, Elaine and Costi, attended the ceremony, along with other relatives, familiy friends, college officials and local government leaders.
Costi Kutteh, the long-time mayor of Statesville and a member of the Mitchell Board of Trustees, said his parents were welcomed to the Statesville community and made it their permanent home after a spending a short time in Durham, where Dr. Kutteh completed a medical residency.
After arriving in Statesville, the Kuttehs were supported by the Gordon family, which offered office space for Dr. Kutteh's start-up medical practice. In turn, the Kuttehs welcomed others, including Dr. Ralph Bentley, who came behind them.
"They accepted this community the way the community accepted them," Mayor Kutteh explained. "They loved this place."
The Kutteh family has established two endowed gifts to Mitchell Community College totaling $660,000 to support workforce development scholarships and provide financial assistance to students facing challenges that jeopardize their ability to attend Mitchell.
Mayor Kutteh said those gifts reflect the values that his parents passed along to their children and by extension to their grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.
"They valued medicine. They valued education. And they valued Statesville," he said.
The mayor also shared a story illustrating those values. Shortly after Costi graduated from college, his father, who had been evicted from his homeland and moved to the United States without knowing anyone, pointed to his son's framed diploma and said, "They can take everything else away, but they can't take that."
So having the Health Sciences Building on the Mitchell Community College campus named in honor of their parents is a fitting tribute to their legacy.
"You'll never know how much this means to us," the mayor said.

The Honourable Minister of Communications, Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami FNCS, FBCS, FIIM has disclosed that Nigeria is undergoing a trial phased in her quest to deployed 5G technology in the country, championed by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) in collaboration with relevant security agencies.
The Next level champion made this disclosure today as a speaker, during the "GITEX Showdown Debate with audience participation; are we at risk of the next cyber-pearl-harbour?".
The Minister maintained that vulnerability is inevitable as long as one is online, but the country under his leadership is coming up with regulatory instruments to guide her in the deployment of the technology.
Dr Pantami stated that developmental regulation will play a great role in aiding 5G technology, adding that capacity development will accelerate the deployment in Nigeria.
Pantami said, "cybercrime is perpetrated at the speed of light, while cybersecurity is at the speed of the law".

Early data shows King St. pilot a success
The first month of the King Street Pilot program was a success — the transit corridor has seen improved service during rush hours and drivers were only affected by a few minutes.
The first set of transit and traffic data was released Tuesday by the city. Over the next year, the City of Toronto will be analyzing the impact on transit service, flow of traffic on parallel streets, and the effects on cyclists, pedestrians, and local businesses. The statistics provided Tuesday only represent the first two weeks of the study.
The data found that transit service during the afternoon rush hour has already significantly improved. Travel time has reduced from 25 minutes to 22 minutes eastbound, and 24 minutes to 19.7 minutes westbound.
Drivers have seen variations of a plus or minus one minute, which is impressive considering the first two weeks resulted in a big learning curve for drivers, who were no longer allowed to drive straight through an intersection along the stretch of the pilot. The data also looked at streets parallel to King St., as drivers are forced to turn right at each respective intersection. So far, those corridors are not being clogged with cars.
"Measurement is vital to the King Street pilot, and will ensure we can make any necessary adjustments so the street and surrounding area works for transit customers, cyclists, pedestrians, drivers and business owners as well as local residents," said Mayor John Tory in a statement. "We also appreciate the feedback of local businesses, transit users, and the taxi industry and will continue to address any concerns as quickly as possible."
The King Street pilot runs from Jarvis to Bathurst. The corridor funnels drivers to parallel east-west routes like Queen St., Richmond, Adelaide, Wellington, or Front, while still allowing local drivers to access the street for short periods of time. It began on Nov. 12.
Data will be released every month on that same date.

Breaking: Saudi Arabia King gives women right to drive
In extremely surprising news, King Salman of Saudi Arabia issued a decree allowing women to be given driving licences. According to media reports, this royal decree will lead to the creation of a ministerial body that will provide advice and implement the decree by June 2018.
Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that does not permit women to drive. Women who disobeyed this law were fined, beaten, or imprisoned.
This decree came out a week after the government launched a reform program that allowed women to enter a sports stadium to celebrate a national festivity and attend a concert. The government has been criticized by those within the clergy for gender-mixing.

You are here: Home / Playlists / The Borgia Dynasty, Part 1: Church and Power in the Renaissance
Last spring, we looked at the large book/recording packages by Jordi Savall dealing with Jerusalem and the Cathar Heresy; this year we will catch up first with his Grammy-award winning disc dedicated to the rise of the Borgia family.
NOTE: All of the music on these three programs came from the Grammy-award winning boxed set featuring:
Montserrat Figueras soprano
Lior Elmaleh cantor
Driss El Maloumi canto e oud
Pascal Bertin contratenore, Lluís Vilamajó tenore
Marc Mauillon, Furio Zanasi baritoni
Daniele Carnovich basso
Once again, Jordi Savall has created and directed an extraordinary musical and historical tour elucidating an aspect of cultural history. We have included his introductory notes, and each of the three programs looked at one of the three discs in the set.
The recording is on Alia Vox and is AVSA98745; the U.S. distributor is Harmonia Mundi USA:

The celebration of the 500th anniversary of the birth of St Francis Borgia (Gandia 1510 - Rome 1572), the last of the illustrious members of the "Borgia Dynasty," prompted us to embark on the present historical and musical project, recalling the most significant events of the age in which the chief protagonists of this extraordinary and fascinating family lived: Alfonso de Borja (Callistus III), Rodrigo de Borja (Alexander VI), Giovanni Borgia, Cesare Borgia, Lucrezia Borgia and St Francis Borgia.
Fr Batllori, the outstanding scholar, humanist and indisputable expert in the history of the Borgias, remarked that the Borgias should not be made the subjects of crime fiction or romance. Instead, what is needed is simply an objective account of who they were and what they did.
Informed by the latest findings of the leading specialists in the field, in our new CD-book devoted to the Borgia "Dynasty" we present some of the essential aspects of "who they were and what they did" without glossing over the ups and downs of their chequered careers. In doing so, we are aware of the great difficulty of evoking the lives and exploits of these historical figures who were indelibly marked by a terrible and persistent "black legend." They lived complex and turbulent lives that were deeply enmeshed in a vast web of historical facts and events which we place within their specific historical and musical context: one of the most intense cultural and political periods of European civilization, on the threshold of modern times, distinguished above all by the transition from the medieval world to the cultural and humanistic flowering of the Renaissance. A time of great cultural and geographical discoveries, from Greek civilization to the New World, and also of major conflicts, from the final stages of the Reconquest and the expulsion of the Jews from the Iberian Peninsula to the beginning of the Protestant schism and inevitable war with the Turks.
The story of the chief protagonists of this Valencian family, surnamed Borja, whose origins can be traced to Játiva (a town in the kingdom of Valencia, one of the territories of the Catalano-Aragonese Crown), spans the period from 1400, just before the end of the Western Schism (1417) and the conquest of Constantinople by the Turks (1453), to the victory of the Christian armies against the Turks at the Battle of Lepanto (1570), followed two years later, in 1572, by the terrible St Bartholemew's Day massacre and the death in Rome of St Francis Borgia, the last great member of the dynasty.
The Borgias lived in an age rocked by a fierce and unremitting struggle for the spiritual and worldly power of Rome, the core of all Christendom and centre of the Vatican state. From medieval times the power of the Papacy had taken precedence over all secular powers. If a king was excommunicated by the Pope, he lost his divine right to rule; and only the Pope, as head of the Christian Church, had the authority to crown a Christian king as Emperor, as Pope Clement VII crowned Charles V in 1530. It should also be borne in mind that the political methods and social customs of ecclesiastical life in Rome at that time were very different from those of today. In those days the contradictory human and religious double life led by much of the clergy was common knowledge – a far cry from our own times, in which those double standards have long been denied and even silenced. The two Borgia Popes, therefore, merely continued to act and behave according to customs based on nepotism and paternalism, particularly in the case of Alexander VI, who is known to have fathered more than nine children: Girolama, Isabella and Pier Luigi by an unknown mother, Giovanni, Lucrezia, Cesare, and Goffredo by his first mistress, Vannozza Cattanei, and another two children by his third "long-term" mistress, Giulia Farnese. The dangerous conditions of life in the Vatican at that time meant that the Pope needed to surround himself with as many members of his own family as possible, since eating a dish prepared and served by a trusted kinsman, for example, could be the indispensable key to survival.
These towering figures, with their massive contradictions and many human weaknesses, led exuberant lives obscured by violence and Machiavellian intrigues (in writing The Prince Niccolò Machiavelli took his inspiration from the conduct of Alexander VI and, above all, Cesare Borgia); but they were also great champions of the supreme power of the Church and the political and territorial independence of the Vatican, as well as skilled negotiators in all political and military matters. As well as offering their protection to humanists and the Sephardic Jews (who had found refuge in Rome, despite the protests of the ambassador of the Catholic Monarchs), Callistus III and, above all, Alexander VI were also great patrons of music and the arts, although this latter activity has been inevitably been tainted by the memory of their questionable mores, violent methods and extreme weakness of the flesh, which gave rise to a terrible Black legend which continued unabated until the death of Alexander VI and has echoed through the centuries, thus distorting our objective view of the true history of the Borgias. Let us not forget that this Black Legend was gradually forged and developed out of lives that were hardly compatible with the principles and exemplary behaviour desirable in the spiritual head of Christianity on earth. Lives that were too often stained with blood and numerous acts of violence (murders and vendettas), depraved (orgies and drunken revelries) and even sacrilegious (sexual skirmishes in the Pope's private quarters during All Souls' Day festivities). Despite such excesses, the Borgias' behaviour was not so different from that of other Italian nobles. Apart from these actual events, the lives and reputation of the Borgias were further blighted by false or exaggerated accusations, often spread by the dominant clans in Italy at that time to whip up public opinion as a means of self-defence or revenge for political acts and decisions which had damaged their interests.
Few historical figures have suffered such a systematic and enduring deformation of objective reality as the Borja/Borgia family, and particularly Alexander VI and his two most famous offspring - Cesare and Lucrezia. And few provide such a stark and extreme illustration of the fraught relationship between the Church, as an institution, and the spheres of secular and spiritual power, especially at a time when European society was witnessing an explosion of artistic activity and a spectacular new spiritual and intellectual debate inspired by the discovery of Greek civilization, which was to crystallize in humanist thought and a creative development which shaped the emergence from the medieval world to a true cultural and social Renaissance.
The first illustrious Borgia was Alfonso de Borja, who accompanied Alfonso the Magnanimous in the conquest of Naples and later took up residence in Rome, where he was crowned Pope Callistus III in 1445. His papacy was distinguished by his determination to win back Constantinople (which became Istanbul in 1453), as well as the humanist nature of his policies. He was described by Eneas Silvio Piccolomini as "a most excellent gentleman of letters", and he is known to have maintained a close friendship with the distinguished Latin scholar Lorenzo Valla (1407-1457).
The case of Rodrigo de Borja is different in almost every respect from that of his uncle Alfonso. His terrible reputation, however, should not blind us to the fact that he was one of the foremost patrons of the Italian Renaissance. Although he was neither a great intellectual nor a particularly outstanding humanist, he numbered humanists among his friends and he did a great deal to foster the development of the arts, letters and sciences. In the words of Gregorovius (1877) "Alexander VI was nothing if not cultured." Among the great geniuses of the age who collaborated or were in some way connected with Alexander VI, we should mention Josquin des Prez (the most outstanding of his favourite musicians, who composed the sombre, dramatic 4-part motet "Absalon Filii mi" as a tribute to the Pope's eldest son Giovanni Borgia, Second Duke of Gandia, who had been brutally murdered in 1497), Nicolaus Copernicus (1500), Leonardo da Vinci (1502-1503) and Michelangelo (1500).
Among Alexander VI's numerous children, we shall focus especially on those who were closest to their father: Giovanni, Cesare and Lucrezia. The firstborn, Giovanni di Gandia, was murdered in 1497, one year after returning to Rome. Cesare, who in spite of being devoid of any inclination for the ecclesiastical life, had been appointed archbishop of Valencia at the age of seventeen and cardinal at eighteen, became heir and head of the Borgia family in Italy when his brother Giovanni died in 1497. Subsequently appointed captain general of the papal army and the model for Machiavelli's The Prince, in his thirty-two years of life Cesare Borgia was the living expression of the turbulence of a period scarred by conflict and bitter struggle for the control of secular and spiritual power. Cesare's sister Lucrezia is surrounded by a sulphurous halo. For centuries the calumnies spread by the enemies of her father Alexander VI – she was accused of double incest – have captured the popular imagination. Admired by the greatest geniuses of her day, including Bembo, Titian and Ariosto, Lucrezia symbolizes the power of Renaissance woman, with her beauty, her intelligence, her shrewd political sense, her talent and generosity as a patron, and her social awareness (in Ferrara her subjects called her "the mother of the people"). Far from being the romantic heroine that we had been led to believe, she was the true antagonist of the tragedies that framed her life.
On his father's side the great-grandson of a Pope of Rome, and on his mother's side the great-grandson of the King of Aragon, Francis Borgia was a protégé of Emperor Charles V, whom he served faithfully at court. The death of Empress Isabella of Portugal in 1539 marked a profound turning point for Francis and, following a brief period as viceroy of Catalonia, he devoted the rest of his life to the austere and militant practice of his faith as a member of the Society of Jesus, becoming a great benefactor and instigator of numerous educational and spiritual projects. In 1565 his religious career culminated in his being appointed the third Vicar General of the Society of Jesus. Sent by Pope Pious V on an important diplomatic mission to the royal houses of Madrid and Lisbon, his final mission took him to Blois, where he was granted a royal audience with Catherine de' Medici. Had it been successful, it would probably have prevented the St Bartholemew's Day massacre in August 1572. As those terrible events unfolded, Francis Borgia rested in Ferrara at the court of his uncle Ercole d'Este, the son of Lucrezia Borgia. On 30th September of that same year, Francis Borgia died in Rome. In 1624 he was beatified by Urban VII and, in 1671, just one year before the centenary of his death, he was canonized by Pope Clement X.
Except for specialist studies such as Studien zur Geschichte der Papstlichen Kapelle by Bernhard Janz, the huge number of historical and literary works devoted to the Borjas/Borgias contain very few references to their musical context. Among the few exceptions which deserve special mention because of the wealth of detail that they provide on musical practice, are Maria Bellonci's writings on Lucrezia Borgia, Vicent Ros's interesting study entitled La Música i els Borja, published together with an interesting selection of articles on the age of the Borgia, entitled Els Temps dels Borja, published in 1996 by Játiva City Hall and the Generalitat of Valencia, and Josep Piera's fascinating new historical biography entitled San Francesc de Borja, sant i duc de Gandia. We would also like to draw the reader's attention to the importance of a number of studies, some classic and others more recent, which have helped to restore the balance and offer a more objective view of the Borgias, such as those written by Fr Miquel Batllori and, more recently, Joan Francesc Mira, Óscar Villarroel González and Santiago La Parra López.
As in our previous CD-book projects, we have divided the various stages of the "Borgia Dynasty" into seven chapters, from 13th Century Muslim Valencia to the death and canonization of Francis Borgia in 1671.
Part I deals with
(CD 1) Paths to power: the origins and expansion of a dynasty. 1238 – 1492
I. The origins and rise of the Borgia family
II. The demise of the Spain of the Three Cultures and the conquest of power: the Vatican
This broad historical sweep allows us to demonstrate the musical richness surrounding the Borgias and their period through a selection of the most representative works from the Cancionero de Montecassino, Cancionero de Palacio, Cancionero del Duque de Calabria and Cancionero de Gandía. Written by the greatest Hispanic composers of the age (Johannes Cornago, Cristóbal de Morales, Lluís del Milà, Bartomeu Cárceres, Mateo Flecha and Joan Cabanilles, including the Credo from the Mass attributed to St Francis Borgia himself, as an example of a more popular musical style), as well as those written by their European contemporaries (Gilles Binchois, Guillaume Dufay, Josquin des Prez, Heinrich Isaac, Claude Goudimel), in many cases to mark a specific occasion, such as the celebration of a military victory, a battle or a truce, or the coronation of Pope Alexander VI, or to lament the death of outstanding figures such as Johannes Ockeghem, Lorenzo the Magnificent and Emperor Maximilian, etc. The musical programme is complemented by the recitation of a number of poetic testimonies, eulogies and critical accounts, including the terrible decree of the expulsion of the Moriscos in 1609.
The beauty and the emotion of this music brings some key moments of that convulsed and extraordinary period back to life, offering us a thrilling and, at the same time, a more objective view of the social and cultural context of the age of the Borgia Dynasty.

DirecTV Plans to Drop One America News « CmaTrends
One of the nation's biggest satellite broadcasters, DirecTV, plans to drop carriage of the fringe right-wing cable outlet One America News, several months after a Reuters report revealed that AT&T, one of DirecTV's owners, was responsible for a large part of the media outlet's overall revenue.
OAN is owned by Herring Networks, founded by the entrepreneur Robert Herring Sr.
"We informed Herring Networks that, following a routine internal review, we do not plan to enter into a new contract when our current agreement expires," DirecTV said in a statement. A spokesman would not comment on a report from Bloomberg News Friday evening that said DirecTV's current carriage contract was set to lapse in April. OAN executives could not be reached for immediate comment.
Being cut from the DirecTV lineup is likely to have dire consequences for OAN, whose website features an ad telling viewers that big cable distributors like Comcast and Charter have refused to carry the network for years. "You are stuck paying for LIBERAL main stream [sic] media news," the ad reads. Approximately 90% of OAN's revenue in the past has come from a contract with AT&T-owned television platforms, including satellite broadcaster DirecTV, Reuters reported in October.
AT&T owns approximately 70% of DirectTV, which it spun off in August via a complicated transaction with TPG Capital. That deal turned DirecTV into a standalone company in which TPG owns a 30% stake. The new DirecTV encompasses all of AT&T's previous video and streaming businesses in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. DirecTV, at the end of August, had about 15.4 million subscribers.
OAN is among a handful of conservative media outlets, including Newsmax and Fox News Channel, that have been sued by voting-technology firms Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic, both of which accused the TV networks of deliberately spreading defamatory reports about their role in the 2020 election. A Delaware Superior Court judge in December denied a Fox News motion to dismiss the Dominion suit. Fox News has also called for the Smartmatic suit to be dismissed.
Former President Donald Trump has in the past been a supporter of OAN and directed his supporters to tune in to the network. It is carried in few other places, but Verizon's Fios has been a distributor.

Telling the difference, as a consumer, between these two entities can at times be extremely difficult. Often an illegal pyramid scheme will be like a wolf in sheep's clothing and sucker many a good shepherd unwittingly into its trap. On the other hand, it is estimated that over 10 million Americans make an income from a legitimate business opportunity. In 1988 the United States Department of Commerce estimated that independent salesmen and saleswomen contributed over $9 billion to the economy of this country, and the numbers have steadily risen since than. By the same token, consumers lost untold millions of dollars at the same time in illegal schemes. The moral of this story is be careful, but do not be afraid. Learn to tell the difference between a scam and a good business opportunity; avoid the former and embrace the latter.
The reason this type of program is illegal should be obvious to all; by the very nature of its plan it must fail, it provides no marketable product or service and no function other than to bring in other people at the bottom. Without new people throwing their money in an illegal pyramid would fail. As the supply of people dwindles, the people at the lower levels of the pyramid who have invested their money are left holding the bag. An empty bag at that!
The Direct Selling Education Foundation in Washington D.C. in cooperation with the National District Attorneys Association Economic Crime Project, in 1991 put together a very handy little pamphlet entitled Pyramid Schemes: Not What They Seem. This pamphlet provides the best definition that I have seen for distinguishing legitimate business opportunities in multi-level marketing and illegal pyramid schemes. The pamphlet defines and describes multi-level marketing as "a popular way of retailing in which consumer products are sold, not in stores by sales clerks, but by independent businessmen and women (distributors), usually in customer's homes. As a distributor you can set your own hours and earn money by selling consumer products supplied by an established Company.
In a multi-level structure you can also build and manage your own salesforce by recruiting, motivating, supplying and training others to sell those products. Your compensation then includes a percentage of the sales of your entire sales group as well as earning on your own sales to retail customers. "To distinguish; an illegal pyramid scheme which is disguised as a multi-level company may possess similar characteristics, however, there never is much effort put into the actual marketing of the products. All or most of the money is made in the recruitment of new distributors, and new distributors are encouraged to purchase large quantities of inventory. Typically, the product purchased has little or no value, or is extremely overpriced. Many times the product itself is a fraud, such as numerous miracle cures, lotions and ointments; products that without the pyramid aspects of the company would truly serve no legitimate market, and these products generally find themselves in a garage somewhere with no actual use other than frontloading3 individuals for financial gain at the top of the pyramid. [Illustration 3] Pyramid scheme promoters are good! They know how to get you excited and make you think that if you do not act today the deal will be gone tomorrow. They know how to convince you to put up big bucks to make your fortune quick. Be careful, be very careful.
It may not be easy to differentiate a legitimate company from an illegal scam. The Federal Trade Commission suggests seven (7) tips to consider when considering joining a multi-level marketing plan to assist you in determining if it is legit or not. These tips are really broad and in some cases may deter you from joining a legitimate company, but the position of the FTC in offering these tips to the public is that it is much better to be safe than sorry. I add an eighth tip at the end that I feel is far more important than the other seven.
Avoid any program that includes commissions for the recruitment of others. If a plan offers such a commission, it is against the law in all states.
Avoid programs that pressure new distributors to purchase large quantities of inventory or small amounts of very expensive inventory.
Avoid programs that boast that you do not personally need to make any retail sales to make money, merely that you will make your fortune through the work of your downline.
because he said it does not make it true.
Watch out for paid performers that will give you stories of their successes.
Do not sign any contracts or give any money to the promoters at any business opportunity meeting or other high pressure meeting. Ask a friend or a lawyer if you are not sure. Do not rush into it. Make a list of questions you might have and get the answers before signing on the dotted line.
Check the company out. Ask around.
I consider suggestion number six to be the most important of all of the suggested tips of the FTC. Take your time. My philosophy is that if it is a good deal today, it will be a good deal tomorrow. And now for my eighth tip, which I consider to be of importance far above all the others and of importance in dealing with the other seven. Use common sense! There is no substitute for a little bit of old fashioned-look before you leap-common sense.
Take your time and find a deal that is suited for your needs and interests. Do not jump into a deal with promises of no work and great fortune. Remember the old adage, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is!
So what do you as a company do to keep yourself from obtaining the label "pyramid"?
First, do not pay any commissions for the recruitment of individuals into the program. It is acceptable to charge a one-time at cost distributorship fee, but it is not acceptable to pay any commission on this fee. This fee can be used for some type of packet explaining company procedures, sales aides, or other training materials. Generally, the lower this fee the less scrutiny which you will be under from regulatory officials.
Second, require that your distributors make retail sales in order to earn commissions. This is a key element used by regulators in distinguishing between a legitimate MLM and an illegal pyramid. Retail sales do not include items sold to others within the program or to others as a means of inciting them to participate in the program.
It is also arguable as to whether or not sales made for personal consumption may apply as qualifying sales. The case law seems split on this issue, with the recent trend towards stating that a small amount of personal consumption sales may apply, but anything beyond what the jurisdiction considers reasonable will not apply.
The rule established in the Amway litigation and with subsequent modifications since is that a distributor must do approximately five (5) separate retail sales monthly to persons outside of the distributor base in order to qualify for commissions or bonuses. Depending on the product and the cost there have been and will continue to be exceptions to this rule in the number of retail sales required, but there is little chance of ever surviving scrutiny with no retail sales. Remember that sales to existing distributors or sales made to persons becoming distributors at the time of purchase do not qualify for retail sales.
Next, establish a 70% rule, meaning that no distributor may purchase additional products unless they attest that they have sold at least 70% of all products previously purchased. This helps in several ways, it avoids refund requests from persons with garages full of products, and it shows regulators that retail sales are being made by the distributors and that the company is acting responsibly not to overload distributors with inventory. It may be a good idea to voluntarily set up a program in which the company randomly verifies the information contained in the distributors 70% attestations. Perhaps a random sampling of 1% of all reorder forms each month. This is a good idea because in case of any investigation, the company will be able to show the investigator that the company has indeed not only implemented programs to insure that distributors are not "stocking up" on products merely to obtain commissions, but also that the company has implemented procedures to insure that the information obtained from Distributors is correct. This small step will go a long way towards keeping your company out of trouble. Many cases have been settled by either judgment or consent decree by the companies that have included a requirement that the 70% rule be followed and randomly verified by the company; take the initiative and make your company a good example by verifying information before you are forced too. It may prevent you from ever getting into a position of being forced to.
Finally, one important rule that many companies fail to follow that ends up being their Achilles heal. Do not disguise a recruitment fee as a product sale. What does this mean? It is really quite simple, do not have an overpriced useless item that you sell to a person and in turn they become a distributor of your products, and on the sale of that item commissions are paid to the upline distributor. [Illustration 4] This is nothing more than a scam to disguise a sham, you know it, I know it, and you had better believe that the Attorney Generals know it. A recruitment fee is a recruitment fee and attempts to hide it will only end up getting you in more trouble. If your company ideal can not survive on the strength of the products, and needs the extra boost from recruitment income, perhaps now would be a good time to rethink your entire plan.
The key is be real: real products, sold by real distributors, to real consumers. Those three ingredients will keep you out of real trouble.


Virginia General Assembly wastes the money/time/life of the taxpayer/worker for meaningless resolutions to buy certain votes...and they fall for it anyway.
Slavery is working involunarily for no cash. When the average American worker must work 5 months a year to pay his tax bill, that is work for no cash. So, slavery still exists. Libs are just too stupid to identify it.
So Michael, basically, what you're saying is that people are doing the same hard work, they can buy things of their own, not get beaten by their bosses, and have a chance to make themselves more skilled and wealthy, but you still call them slaves? I really don't think so. That's probably why they're not identifying it. Slavery would be closest to industrial workers of the old days, but then again, those jobs are taken by illegal immigrants these days basically justifying it because we're paying for them anyway. If they live a harsh life, that's their fault for breaking our law and "stealing" our money by living here illegally. Look for the chicken farms in California. I don't remember where exactly, but I'm pretty sure CA was a big one for illegal immigrants.
Just make sure you don't say freedom of choice is a notion of slavery. People can choose to work at either McDonald's or Burger King. They can even choose to work at Sprint either as a custodian or an engineer. One of the most lacking things in finding a better job is skill and education. It's not like it used to be; you have to have at least some degree to make the money you want. While it's not free to do so, you also have the freedom to move if you can afford it. It's not hard to save up for a one way trip to Europe especially if you have to live it rough for a year. Most people don't always know where to shop either. I don't buy clothes that are over $10 unless it's shoes because the cheapest i can find those is under $30 most of the time. With that in mind, and the fact that most older people aren't in need of new clothes because they're not growing, that's one way to save up. If you wanna go to Europe where they have free schooling, the UK is a great place to go. No new language to learn (almost) and while it'll be tough, at least you'll be getting an education, but that might require citizenship; I'm unsure of that though. If you can just go there and get a "free" degree, then it would make sense to go there for a few years, do all that you need, get a job so you have some experience, then move back over and live a better life. There's no way you can constitute slavery if that's the case. Look at all those freedoms! Slaves aren't free, they work and all they get is the boiled water from vegtable soup, anything they can find on the ground, a dirt or straw bed shared in a room with 100 other people, and repeated beatings by their owner. You don't even get to keep your child or have the use of any cash. Oh wait, did I forget about the fact that some owners even raped their slaves? I mean, if you call life slavery for most people out there, I shun to think that then that would make me a slave owner for going to college and getting an education and trying to make some cash so I can live a better life than my parents are.

FBI Revives 42-Year-Old Case Involving 2 Missing School Children
Steven Anderson, 17, and David Williams, 12, went missing 42 years ago. Composites of what the boys would look like now provided by the FBI.
Two boys with developmental disabilities went missing from their school in New Jersey more than four decades ago and were never found.
Now the FBI is searching a wildlife refuge area about 25 miles from the New Lisbon State School in Burlington County in hopes of solving the 42-year-old case, the Asbury Park Press reports.
The FBI declined to comment on the search, which the bureau termed as "investigative activity."
The search comes one month after the FBI added the two boys, Steven Anderson, 17, and David Williams, 12, to its website as "missing persons."
According to the FBI, "Both boys lived at the 1,898-acre (New Lisbon) center located off Route 72 in the New Jersey Pinelands. They had diagnosed developmental disabilities and were unable to care for themselves without supervision. The boys, who were roommates, were last seen at approximately 4:15 p.m., walking towards their residence from a nearby ball field where they had been playing with staff members."

Mueller's Team Questioned Kushner about Russian Meeting with Flynn
President Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, met earlier this month with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team and answered questions about his meeting with a Russian ambassador, multiple news agencies report.
The questions centered around a meeting between Kushner, the ambassador and incoming national security adviser Michael T. Flynn, whose attorney recently stopped communicating with Trump's legal team in a move that could mean he's becoming a witness for prosecutors and strike a plea deal.
The primary topic was Flynn, sources familiar with the meeting told
CNN and the New York Times.
"Mr. Kushner has voluntarily cooperated with all relevant inquiries and will continue to do so," Abbe Lowell, Kushner's lawyer, told CNN.
The meeting lasted less than 90 minutes.
Both the White House and special counsel's office declined to comment.

Congressional Black Caucus Grills FBI Director over 'Black Identity Extremists' Report
Christopher Wray testifies during his confirmation hearing to become the next FBI director.
Black members of Congress confronted FBI Director Christopher Wray over a report that says the bureau is targeting so-called "Black Identity Extremists"over fears of violence against law enforcement.
The Congressional Black Caucus met with Wray for nearly two hours to discuss concerns about the ambiguous report, which echoed the rhetoric used by the FBI to spy on black activists in the 1960s and 70s.
Rep. Hakeen Jeffries, D-N.Y., told the New York Times that Wray had trouble defending the report and could not identify a black identity extremist group.
"He was asked to publicly clarify that there is no scintilla of evidence, as far as we can tell, to provide an example of the black identity extremist movement or any groups that fall in that category," Jeffries said. "That clarification should be made publicly, it seems to many of us, and not privately behind closed doors."
Elected leaders and civil rights activists have voiced concerns about the intent of the report and whether it was meant to chill free speech.
"The F.B.I. is linking disparate conduct and unconnected groups to come up with a manufactured black race-based ideology for suspicion and investigation," said Hina Shamsi, the director of the National Security Project at the American Civil Liberties Union. "We've seen this kind of shoddy analysis and bias-based conclusions all too often, applied to African-Americans, Muslim-Americans, environmental activists and others."
Shamsi added, "The F.B.I. has a critical role in protecting civil liberties, but it routinely undermines them by unjustifiably and unfairly targeting minorities and those who dissent."
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing earlier this month, Attorney General Jeff Sessions admitted he never read the report and couldn't name a single black identity extremist group.
African Americans were subjected to illegal FBI surveillance in the 1960s and 70s because of similar rhetoric under a subversive program called COINTELPRO.

Trump, Breitbart & Conservatives May Have Lied about Border Patrol Agent's Death
Border Patrol Agent Rogelio Martinez was found dead at the bottom of a ravine in west Texas.
The details surrounding the death and serious injuries of two Border Patrol agents on the night of Nov. 18 were almost immediately blamed on stone-throwing immigrants.
But the FBI and other investigators are skeptical, saying the agents may have fallen into a ravine.
Nevertheless, President Trump, Texas politicians and the right-wing site Breitbart spun a tale that claimed Rogelio Martinez, 36, died from injuries sustained in an attack. His partner was critically injured.
A day after the injuries were reported, Trump tweeted, "Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border, another badly hurt. We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and must, build the Wall!"
Trump added that the surviving agent had been "badly beaten," The Texas Observer points out.
The union that represents Border Patrol agents, the National Border Patrol Council, suggested the agents were attacked, though Breitbart acknowledged in its story that "details on the matter are scarce."
Sen. Ted Cruz, with no information to back up the story, added to the rhetoric, saying the agent had been "killed" in what is "a stark reminder of the ongoing threat that unsecure border poses to the safety of our communities and those charged with defending them."
The Culberson County Sheriff's office, which is working with the FBI task force, told the Dallas Morning News on November 20 that the evidence he saw was "very consistent with a fall."
The Observer wrote:
Top Texas Republicans, however, weren't going to let ambiguity get in the way of a good story. The state's senior U.S. senator, John Cornyn, was marginally more measured than Cruz, telling a radio interviewer that "at least preliminarily" the incident was an "ambush by drug traffickers," though he added that the details were unconfirmed. Governor Greg Abbott, meanwhile, went even further, introducing the idea that "murder" had occurred. In a press release, he announced a $20,000 reward for information leading to the capture and conviction of those responsible for Martinez's "murder," which Breitbart quickly turned into a story: "Texas Governor Offers $20,000 for Info on 'Murder' of Border Patrol Agent."
Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and Attorney General Ken Paxton joined in as well, both sharing inflammatory articles published shortly after the incident. Patrick selected a Fox News article headlined: "Border agent killed, partner injured by illegal immigrants using rocks, report says." The supposed "report," the reader finds, is just a quote from a Border Patrol union official given to another media outlet. Paxton chose Breitbart as his own source.
It's entirely possible that the Breitbart version of events will turn out to be true, but more than a week after the incident became public, the FBI has yet to release any additional information. Jeanette Harper, a spokesperson for the agency's El Paso field office, told the Observer on Tuesday that the agency is currently looking into tips. She said it would likely be a while before they could say anything further.

DEA to Open New Office to Combat Prescription Painkiller Abuse
The DEA is opening if first new field office in nearly 20 years in an effort to combat prescription-opioid abuse.
The DEA's 22nd office will be based in Louisville, Kentucky, where prescription painkillers have been especially problematic, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Wednesday.
USA Today reports that at least 90 federal drug agents will be redeployed to the Louisville office to open a new front on the battle against prescription painkiller abuse.
"I know that this crisis is daunting," Sessions said, referring to government estimates that 64,000 Americans died from drug overdoses last year. "But we can, and we will turn the tide."

The English written companion of Fake For Real: since 1997, reviews and articles about rap music
DJ SHADOW - Endtroducing...
By codotusylv, on Tuesday 13 December 2016 at 22:51
Sharing this article:
This is a recurring debate, though a rather quiet one, and it exists since the very day Entroducing… was released: is this crucial album of the 1990's decade as great as its reputation says? In other words, is it really a classic? To some, asking this may sound like a lost battle, this record being regularly listed as one of the best pop music albums ever. Questioning this is a provocation. But still, it is legitimate.
Mo'Wax / Universal :: 1996 :: buy this record
The influence of Endtroducing... in unquestionable. With the singles "In/Flux" and "Lost and Found", and then with his first album, Josh Davies unilaterally invented instrumental hip-hop; the true instrumental hip-hop, and not just a few boring loops, with the lyrics removed. The DJ enacted the genre's canonical form, its major benchmark. Years and years after, Endtroducing... is still the core standard for all abstract hip-hop. There is no way to ignore it, when one just plays with beats and samples. Even the Guinness Book of World Records acknowledged it, when it claimed that it was the first album ever, exclusively made of samples.
With this record - and also with Mo'Wax, DJ Shadow's label at the time - borders became fuzzy. The 90's, indeed, had stratified modern music into separate genres: rap, techno, and what was still called rock music. This DJ, however, defied such categories. He had a clear hip-hop background, but he was mostly liked in electronic music circles, and welcomed by all others. With Endtroducing..., actually, DJ Shadow predated the future, and the general blurring of all genres. As so many others, he despised the "trip hop" label, but he was, actually, this genre's true godfather, and a champion of its core principle: mixing, everything. Also, as the ultimate hip-hop crate-digger, when recycling some forgotten records, through samples, he heralded the nostalgia for past music that would define the early 2000's, when Internet and the MP3 would accelerate the rediscovery of the past.
Endtroducing..., also, announced the indie rap times. In reality, most indie rappers from the late 90's hadn't listened to it. But it had influenced many, at least indirectly. Though he was coming from a multiracial background – the tanned skins of Chief Excel and Lyrics Born on the album's cover art showed it – Josh Davies was defining new rules for White hip-hop: not only because of his own skin color, but also because he removed rap from its birth context, from its social womb; it had more nuances, and no longer oscillated between bliss and furor; it was getting all "progressive". With him, hip-hop was mutating into a brand new thing, which could even sound catchy and familiar to fans of rock music; also, last but not least, DJ Shadow's main objective seemed to create some real piece of art.
But did he really manage to build such a masterpiece? Asked differently, what is the true value of Endtroducing..., beyond its impressive influence and posterity?
There is no need to play the hater. This album would never have been so impactful if, in addition to being original, it hadn't been good. Many, afterwards, would damn themselves to record tracks as powerful as the best ones: the real introduction that "Building Steam With a Grain of Salt" is, with its heavy rhythms, many scratches and eerie voices; the epic "Stem / Long Stem", which disclosed the recurring themes of "Organ Donor" and "Midnight in a Perfect World", in a very jazz way; the suave conclusion of "What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 1)"; and also, most of all, the pinnacle that was the sumptuous "Midnight in a Perfect World" – undeniably a trip hop song, despite DJ Shadow's contempt for the genre.
Compared to those, however, most other tracks paled into insignificance. Some were fillers ("Napalm Brain / Scatter Brain"), or this kind of lounge music, abstract hip-hop would ultimately evolve into ("What Does your Soul Look Like (Part 4)"). Or sometimes, they were promising tracks, just badly spoiled by too many artifices or too much showmanship ("Changeling / Transmission 1", "Mutual Slump").
Some would argue that such tracks were necessary pauses, and that a uniformly intense album would have been much too exhausting. But the reality is that Endtroducing... has flaws, though it earned its place and status in the history of pop music. Ironically, six years later, DJ Shadow would finally deliver a close-to-perfect record, The Private Press. But by then, the abstract hip-hop revolution would be over, and this album would be considered as a pale replica of the first one, a record forever considered, rightly or not, as Josh Davies' magnum opus.

DISSIDENTS CLAIM IRAN HAS 'SECRET COMMITTEE' TO DECEIVE NUKE INSPECTORS
Secretary of State John Kerry (left) meets with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif at United Nations headquarters on Sept. 26, 2015. (Associated Press) **FIL
Iran is deliberately trying to deceive U.N. inspectors in charge of implementing last summer's nuclear deal, according to a prominent Iranian dissident group, which claims that Tehran has created a "top secret committee" to provide false information to the International Atomic Energy Agency
According to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the secret committee is comprised of top officials from the Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Ministry of Defense Armed Forces Logistics, who are "working to cover up" the potential military dimensions of the ongoing Iranian nuclear program.
The NCRI claim, which was revealed to journalists Wednesday, was not immediately verifiable.
The group is known for its controversial history in Washington, but is seen to have deep sources inside Iran's nuclear community and its members are credited with having made game-changing revelations about Tehran's activities in the past.
Most notably, during the early 2000s, NCRI claims exposed the existence of Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment facility and the Arak heavy-water plutonium facility — two operations that later became the center of international scrutiny and distrust toward Tehran nuclear activities.
Under the nuclear agreement reached between the Obama administration, Iran and other world powers in July, the Islamic republic agreed to curtail its nuclear activities in exchange for economic sanctions relief from the West.
It also agreed to ensure that its ongoing nuclear activities do not have any potential military dimensions (PMD) by opening the activities to inspections from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the U.N.'s main nuclear watchdog group.
According to the NCRI's claim Wednesday, Iran subsequently set up a secret committee specifically to address lingering disputes over its PMD with the IAEA.
In such, the committee is actively "forging suitable scenarios for non-military usage of the [nuclear ]program, which would seem plausible to the IAEA, and to falsely convince the international community that Iran has never been after the nuclear bomb," the NCRI said in a statement. "This committee prepared the PMD answers delivered to the IAEA on August 15, 2015."
Among the foremost issues related to the PMD question are explosive detonators called EBW (Exploding Bridge Wire) detonators, according to the NCRI, which claimed Wednesday that such detonators are an integral part of a program to develop an implosion type nuclear device.
The dissident group claimed that the IAEA said in a September 2014 report that Iranian officials had offered "information and explanations to the Agency on Iran's work after 2007 related to the application of EBW detonators in the oil and gas industry which was not inconsistent with specialized industry practices."
According to the NCRI, Tehran forged documents and exchanged communication between the Oil Ministry and the Defense Ministry to prove that the EBWs were produced and used by the oil industry. But, the NCRI claims, the National Iranian Drilling Company (NIDC), which is responsible for all oil and gas drilling, has not received even one of EBW detonators that had been produced by the Ministry of Defense.
"This renders the regime's claims utterly false," the dissident group said.
The group said its claims were based on deep intelligence gathering effort by by members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq. The so-called "MEK" is a main component of the NCRI, but has long drawn scrutiny in Washington because the State Department had listed it as a terrorist organization until 2012.

MOSCOW -- Alex Ovechkin will lead world champion Russia in the 2010 Olympic ice hockey tournament after being named to a preliminary 23-man squad on Friday.
The Washington Capitals left wing, voted the NHL's MVP the past two years, will be part of Russia's high-powered offensive unit, which includes fellow All-Stars Evgeni Malkin, Pavel Datsyuk and Ilya Kovalchuk.
They will seek to end the country's Olympic gold-medal drought at the Vancouver Games. The hockey superpower has not tasted success since winning the last of their eight Olympic titles as part of the Unified Team in 1992 in Albertville, France.
Russia's coach Vyacheslav Bykov, who captained the 1992 Olympic team, also picked 40-year-old Sergei Fedorov, one of nine players from the domestic Continental Hockey League (KHL).
Fedorov signed a two-year contract with Metallurg Magnitogorsk in 2009 to return home after an 18-year NHL career, which included winning three Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings and capturing the Hart Trophy as the league MVP in 1994.
But there was no room on the squad for 39-year-old defenseman Sergei Zubov, who also came home in 2009 after a 17-year NHL career, or Alexei Kovalev, 36, captain at the 2006 Olympics in Turin, where Russia finished a disappointing fourth.
San Jose Sharks' Evgeni Nabokov, one of last year's finalists for the Vezina trophy as the NHL's top goaltender, likely will be Russia's No. 1 goalie in Vancouver, with Ilya Bryzgalov from the Phoenix Coyotes as his backup.
The 24-year-old Ovechkin is hoping for a Russia-Canada final. "That's the game everyone wants to see," he was quoted by local media as saying on Friday.
"No doubt, they [Canada] would be very motivated playing on home ice and also gunning for revenge," he said, referring to Russia beating their arch rival in the finals of the past two world championships. "But we'll be just as hungry as them."
However, Bykov said the squad named Friday was provisional and he could change players if their performance dropped.
"I wouldn't guarantee a place on the Olympic team to anyone. If my players can't perform up to the standards playing for their respective clubs, then how can I rely on them in Vancouver?" he told reporters after his club Salavat Yulayev Ufa lost 3-2 at home to lowly Severstal in a KHL game on Friday.

Spoilers Ahead for both the Marvel Comics Star Wars series and the movies.
In an upcoming arc, the fine folks at Marvel comics are sending Luke, Han, and Leia to Jedha. There they will discover the deep back story of the Death Star plans, which allowed the Rebel Alliance to mount a successful assualt on the armored battle station.
"Luke is desperately seeking the Force and of course it's one of the holiest cities in the universe, and it's been blown up," said Marvel's Kieron Gillen to ABC News in an interview/video posted on August 3.
Previously, others recognized the significance of the ABC News interview conducted by Michael Rothman (posted to the web in a piece written by Clayton Sandell) that included Gillen, several members of the Marvel team, and Matt Martin of the Lucasfilm story group.
As I write, 5:54 AM here on the East Coast, this reporter can't get behind everything unabashedly – particularly before my second coffee. However, Conrad's speculation seems a theory unlikely to require a tin foil hat.
Time will tell for sure, but in the interim you may read and be the judge.
Jedha presents Luke with evidence of the sacrifices necessary to defeat the Empire.

Q: WordPress Conditional PHP Question I'm trying to call WordPress's 'the_time' using a conditional statement that checks the category.  I want to call the custom field 'event_date' if the category is '3' and 'the_time()' if the category is '4'... This is what I have, and it echoes fine if I use "is_single()" instead of "is_category()" but for some I'm getting no echo when I use "is_category()"... any ideas?

A: In this instance you want to use in_category instead of is_category.
