Fred Hostetler — singer, songwriter, musician, producer (affiliated with ASCAP)
Fred Hostetler has been a blue spruce in a forest of music sequoias, journeying through blues, folk and the rock era cycling through many aspects of the music business and playing a supporting role to other musicians. He has worked with Jeff Beck, Billy Squier, Graham Parker, Johnny Winters, The Knack, been on stage with Buddy Guy, Mick Taylor, Jeff Healy, and recorded with the Grammy winning producer Jack Douglas. For 9 years he was the manager, rhythm guitarist, and co-writer for the popular southern California blues band Blue By Nature with Karen Lawrence and Rick Dufay formerly of Aerosmith. Transitioning to his move to India he entertained in hospitals and senior centers with 'Fred's Folk and Blues Revival', a solo acoustic set of old-time music, 50's favorites and blues, all filled with plenty of fun, finger-picking, strumming and banter.
After 15 years of voluntary service in an ashram in Tamil Nadu, India, Fred returns to the USA. 'Heart Radio' marks his first solo effort. The eight song CD is a genre-jumping romp of all original tunes, recorded and produced in the spartan seclusion of rural India and an island in the Pacific Northwest. The tracks reflect the threads of his years abroad and in the 'swamplands'.
Heart Radio is all about introspection and self-examination while walking the inner path of self-discovery in the outer world. Hiding beneath the 'genre jumping' tunes on this CD is a unity that holds its diversity gracefully together like different colored beads attractively strung on the same thread. To catch just a glimpse of this underlying unity is to experience totality in a split second. The beads themselves are glimpses into an unfolding life, moments in time given form and permanence through feelings. It is the artist's desire that any who listens, will receive a glimmer of the sustaining light.

Gary Gensler: Clear Regulations Needed for Mainstream Crypto Adoption
August 4, 2021 at 2:00 am by Ogwu Osaemezu Emmanuel
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Gary Gensler has declared during an interview on August 3, 2021, that proper investor protection and clear-cut regulations are some of the key catalysts needed for mainstream crypto adoption. Gensler says the regulator wants to focus on seven key areas of the country's crypto space, including crypto exchanges, decentralized finance (DeFi), and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Stronger Investor Protection Measures
While crypto enthusiasts see the appointment of Gary Gensler as the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission as a move that could usher in positive developments into the U.S. crypto industry, considering his blockchain background, the 64-year-old politician has made it clear that implementing stricter rules that would promote investor protections against fraud in the space is his top priority.
Gensler, who taught a course on Bitcoin and the underlying distributed ledger technology (DLT) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2018, reiterated that he's neutral on the innovative tech but doesn't feel the same way when it comes to investor protection.
In his words:
"While I'm neutral on the technology, even intrigued – I spent three years teaching it- I'm not neutral about investor protection. We have a role as a nation to protect those investors against fraud."
Crypto Exchanges, DeFi On SEC's Radar
Notably, Gensler has made it clear that the dreaded SEC is putting preparations in top gear to point its searchlight into at least seven important areas of the crypto industry, including the fledgling DeFi ecosystem, stablecoins, initial coin offerings, ETFs and lending.
However, Gensler says he wants to pay particular attention to cryptocurrency exchanges., as he firmly believes that regulating these trading venues could be the best way for financial authorities to gain control over cryptocurrencies in the long run.
At a time when more and more institutional players are investing heavily in bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies, with the industry now worth nearly $2 trillion, Gensler says he believes digital assets can bring about economic progress and gain more mainstream adoption in the near future.
However, these innovative technologies will not reach their full potential without clear regulations, he added.
"It's only with bringing things inside, and sort of clearly within our public policy goals, that a technology has a chance of broader adoption," Gensler declared.
At this point, it's still unclear how the SEC plans to regulate the DeFi space. However, Gensler has hinted that DeFi lending protocols could come under the SEC's purview since they offer users specific interest-rate returns.
Already, U.S. authorities have sent out a cease and desist order to BlockFi, a centralized U.S-based lending platform and it won't be a surprise to see more crypto businesses getting hammered down by the regulators soon.
However, taking such an action against an entirely decentralized platform may not be an easy task, as their processes are entirely controlled by the blockchain. In all, the SEC and other regulators have a serious task at hand and it remains to be seen whether their approach will successfully make the nation a hotbed for crypto businesses or make it a backbencher in blockchain innovation.

After a day of rampant rumors and wild speculation, Marvel Comics President, Bill Jemas, has confirmed that writer/artist and Marvel Knights head Joe Quesada has been named the publisher's new Editor-in-Chief.
"We are dedicated to fulfilling our mission as the 'House of Ideas' and feel Joe is the perfect visionary to achieve this lofty standard. Joe's accomplishments speak for themselves. He is a creative genius, a gifted recruiter and manager of talent, and has experience in all facets of the comic world. We will be looking to him to bring to our entire line the same level of creativity that has turned Marvel Knights into an award-winning and top-selling imprint," stated Jemas in a press release.
"One of the biggest problems at Marvel has been the ever- looming specter of "Oh my God, what's going to happen next?" with regards to books, with regards to jobs. We have to change that perception in house first. Will the books be changing? Most likely. How will they change? Can't tell you yet, because I really don't know. I don't know how the creative community will respond to this, hopefully it will be favorable."
"Spider-Man. Hands down, I think we need to take a good look at the Spider-Man titles. Spidey's one of the things that I think is very important for us to look at, because as Marvel goes, so goes the industry, and as Spider-Man goes, so goes Marvel, and you can throw X-Men into that mix too."
Buzz about the change of the guard began circulating late Tuesday afternoon when reports of Harras's exit hit the rumor circuit. Writer Warren Ellis was first online to mention the possible firing, telling readers of his Delphi message board forums at about 6:30 p.m. EST Tuesday evening, "I've just heard that Bob Harras left Marvel at 3 p.m. EST today. No details."
When asked what role Harras will have at Marvel, Jemas said: "That is mostly up to Bob. We value our friendship with Bob we value his contributions. If Bob wants to be extremely active, he will be extremely active. If he'd like to be less active, he'll be less active."

Based on the literature concerning feedback, self-regulated learning and cooperative learning, this paper discusses a model of effective feedback that can be used to support student learning in computer-mediated environments. The model portrays the learner and teacher/peers as actors who both provide and receive feedback in interlocking loops during learning activities. Findings from two illustrative examples in science and social science classes indicate that while e-learning settings offer the opportunity to enhance feedback during the learning process, effective feedback structures are not automatically a part of interactive simulations, computer-mediated communication or other e-learning settings. Effective feedback in e-learning requires careful design and experimentation.

PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases
What's the purpose of PostgreSQL databases? What are their key advantages? What can they do for your Internet site?
PgSQL Databases
PostgreSQL is a high level relational database control system, which can be used on numerous platforms (UNIX, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows) and with many scripting languages (Perl, PHP, Python, Java, Ruby). Due to the fact that it is open-source, it may be effortlessly modified to suit the requirements of any developer who employs it. PostgreSQL is also one of the most dependable and stable database systems, with a lot better efficiency in managing sophisticated procedures when compared with similar systems. It's well suited for large-scale applications due to the fact that a single PostgreSQL database does not have a limit for the size, while one table may be up to 32 Gigabytes. It isn't surprising that a lot of business, academic and government organizations are already working with PostgreSQL - Skype, the University of California, Berkeley and the US Department of Labor being just a few examples.
PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases in Shared Web Hosting
All of our Linux shared web hosting packages include PostgreSQL support, so you will be able to employ every script app which requires this sort of a database. When using the lower-end packages, creating a PostgreSQL database is an optionally available upgrade, while with the higher-end ones, a particular number is included by default, varying from 5 to unlimited. Regardless of the package that you pick throughout the signup procedure, you will always be able to raise the number of PostgreSQL databases that you may have from the Upgrades section of the Hepsia Control Panel, included with every single account. Besides employing a script interface, you will be able to control any database inside the account through the efficient phpPgAdmin tool too. The latter can be accessed via the PostgreSQL section of the CP.
PostgreSQL 8.3 Databases in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you get a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you'll be able to set up and manage PostgreSQL databases effortlessly and as a part of the default set of services, not as a paid upgrade. Any sort of script-driven app which needs such a database shall run perfectly as we use a cloud hosting platform and the databases run on a different cluster of machines, not on the same machine in which you will have your website files and emails. This way, the functionality of your sites will increase considerably as only one kind of processes shall run on the machines. Via our in-house built Hepsia CP, you will be able to access any PostgreSQL database which you have in the account with the popular phpPgAdmin administration client. The latter will enable you to export, import or edit any part of the database using a web-based graphic interface.

Q: Run tasks in a batch I am trying to understand System.Task, but I am not sure if what I am doing is correct. My goal is to write a method to process images parallel in a batch.
Is my understanding correct, that in case of batchSize = 3 the method will queue 3 tasks and run all 3 tasks in parallel as soon as Task.WaitAll() being called ?
Is there are more elegant way if doing it ?
private static void ProcessImages(int batchSize)
{
      List<Task> tasks = new List<Task>();
      foreach (var image in ImageSource.ReadImages())
      {
            if(tasks.Count < batchSize)
            {
                 tasks.Add(Task.Run(() => ImageProcessor.ProcessImage(image)));
            }
            else
            {
                 Task.WaitAll(tasks.ToArray());
                 tasks.Clear();
            }
      }
}

A:
Is my understanding correct, that in case of batchSize = 3 the method
  will queue 3 tasks and run all 3 tasks in parallel as soon as
  Task.WaitAll() being called ?

While the idea to add tasks to the list and then Task.WaitAll() these tasks is correct, your code is unfortunatelly buggy and will not work as expected. Specifically, it will NOT execute tasks for images that follows after each batch and also it will NOT execute tasks for images in the last batch, if number of images is not divisible by batchSize+1.

Is there are more elegant way if doing it ?

Fortunatelly, executing tasks in batches is very common requirement, so .NET already contains methods that makes it much easier. With PLINQ it is as simple as this:
ImageSource.ReadImages()
    .AsParallel()
    .WithDegreeOfParallelism(batchSize)
    .ForAll(image => ImageProcessor.ProcessImage(image));

A: Another option is to use Microsoft's Reactive Framework (NuGet "System.Reactive").
Then this works:
ImageSource
    .ReadImages()
    .ToObservable()
    .Select(image => Observable.Start(() => ImageProcessor.ProcessImage(image)))
    .Merge(maxConcurrent: 3)
    .Wait();

IMHO the Reactive Framework is far more powerful than tasks.

BIFURCATION:ACCOUNTANTS IN ONDO CIVIL SERVICE HAIL GOV AKEREDOLU
Posted byWonderLady May 5, 2022 May 5, 2022 Posted inNews
..We Recognize Your Importance- Gov Akeredolu
Accountants in the Civil Service of Ondo State under the umbrella of Ondo State Accountant Forum have paid a 'Thank You' visit to the state Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu,SAN, over the approval of the bifurcation of the Directorate of Finance and Administration into two departments.
The Accountants had earlier staged a "Thank You" rally in front of the Accountant General's office close to the government House, Akure, bearing placards with various inscriptions "Thank You Mr. Governor"; "You Are Indeed Mr. Talk and Do"; "We Appreciate You Mr Governor"; among others.
Addressing the large gathering at the Cocoa conference Hall of the Governor's office, Governor Akeredolu said the bifurcation was approved as part of his administration's quest to underscore professionalism.
The Governor, who stressed the importance of Accountants in government and private organizations, noted that his administration recognizes the contributions of Accountants to the development of the state.
"For us in Ondo State , we recognize your importance. Anywhere you have a government or run a private business, you hardly see any human endeavor that you won't have an Accountant.
"I want to thank you for this visit and acknowledgement of the few things we have been able to do as a government. Let me note particularly, that at our retreat in Owo, we have made it clear that it is one administration.
"The one administration mantra should always be with you in everything you do. Professionalism is important. It is our quest to at least, underscore professionalism, that has led to this bifurcation. If there are hiccups , you will resolve it with your Head of Service. We thank you for the prudent management of government resources. The resources are lean now.
"I know you deserve a lot and that is why I decided to complete your treasury building. It's almost completed now." He said.
Earlier, the President of the Forum in the state, Mr. Ayodele Ojo who spoke on behalf of the Forum, acknowledged the various achievements of the Akeredolu led administration in the last five years.
He said:"We are here today to thank God on your behalf and on behalf of the people of Ondo state. We are here to acknowledge your various achievements in Ondo state and the country at large.
"We recognize your achievements on Security. We have been able to sleep with our two eyes closed since you championed Amotekun. On health, you have done so well.
"In the area of infrastructure, the quality of work you have done is there for everyone to see. What you have been doing for civil servants in the state despite the dwindling resources is commendable.
"We want to thank you that the journey of 21 years ago which we started, we thank you for using your power as Governor to answer our prayers. We are assuring you sir that we will give our utmost support in terms of service delivery." He said.

Must give my frisky kitten to loving home since we can't have pets at our apartment. Found her abandoned around only 4 weeks and is about 6 months old now.
Shinx loves to play and is quite frisky, but also very sweet and loves to snuggle. Beware if you also have fish tanks.
We will include her litter box, sifter scoop, fresh box of litter and cat food. Plus her various toys.
I honestly have no papers or immunization records and she has not been spayed.


"What are you doing over the festive season?" You often hear this question at this time of the year, but "Taking part in a Shakespeare reading" is not often the answer! It might seem a rather "boffinish" thing to do, as our youngest reader, Lizzi, remarked, but we will remember the Romeo and Juliet reading that we hosted on Saturday 19th December as a highlight of our festivities (and only a tad boffinish!). The company and the food were as great as those at Capulet's feast and the text as rich as ever, of course, but besides these essential elements, we also enjoyed seeing the Fonteyn and Nureyev ballet version to Prokofiev's gorgeous score (Royal Opera House, 1966), as well as the Shakespeare Readers Group's Facebook facility, on our new wide-screen TV.
This transliteracy experiment in bringing together voice, text, dance, music and screen was a first for this group, but in fact the clash and/or conflation of literacies is a continuous process, one that went on as much in Shakespeare's day as in ours. One member, Irene, pointed out a few words in the text that were possibly innovations by Shakespeare, reflecting the time's great excitement about language experiments as writers took inspiration from Europe and the Renaissance. These words dismayed or delighted the audience then, sometimes for different reasons than they do the same for us now. Then, these innovations were challenging because they were new; now, they are challenging because they are archaic, which may yet dismay some and delight others! It struck me that part of our enjoyment arose from the unique mix of literacies called up between us as we sought to share a pleasurable experience.
A requirement for participating in the group is "the ability to read English aloud fluently", an ability all our readers possess to greater or lesser degrees. But each also brings different perspectives, experience and skills. One might say that each possesses a variety of literacies. Some have English as a second language and place emphases differently from first-language English speakers. The impulses of their primary literacy call our attention in new ways to individual words and to the iambic poetic flow of Shakespeare's English. Some are academics who revel in explication and analysis of difficult or unusual portions of the text. Some intuitively inhabit their characters, bringing them alive through vocal variation that responds to each event in the story. Some are older and voice the concerns of older characters with an empathy that is not yet available to the younger readers. Some are dramatists who read even Stage Directions with a conviction that enables us to see and feel the context of the action. We learn from each other.
Each time we took a break from the reading, we watched the ballet. There are inevitably losses and gains in the process of transliterating the familiar story of the star-crossed lovers into the languages of music and dance. Some modifications to the storyline might disappoint, for example when scenes are left out or conflated, but other changes might delight when they richly express implicit characterization, emotional interplay or actions sometimes only hinted at or briefly mentioned in the text. The introduction of Juliet and the Nurse, the balcony scene with Romeo and Juliet, Juliet's rejection of Paris and the final death scene are examples of wonderful choreography and dancing that carry the audience right to the passionate heart of Shakespeare's poetry, without words.
A new literacy for the group is that of relating to one another on-screen via Facebook. Everyone who attended had responded to the invitation via Facebook, but with varying degrees of comfort depending on their familiarity with the tool. Many had struggled to find their way back to the Event page to see the Links and find the scripts. For this reason, I presented a brief Facebook overview to demonstrate the difference between the individual's Profile (using mine as an example), the Shakespeare Readers Group and the Romeo and Juliet Event and to explain the import of leaving comments on each of the different Walls. We also looked briefly at the new Facebook Privacy options, to allay fears about publishing one's data to the world.
This move to organising the readings via Facebook Events has become necessary for several reasons. It is quicker to monitor attendance and dramatically cuts the number of emails to and from individuals that I as organiser previously dealt with. It also facilitates an ongoing sense of community which is otherwise fragmented between meetings, as the group has grown to over twenty people, not all of whom can come to every reading. There is also interest from people outside the UK who cannot attend readings but would like to participate in discussions. For instance, Eva, a member in Italy, shared our anticipation before the event by posting a link to a blog post she wrote in 2007 about Shakespeare's possible models for the Romeo and Juliet story in the real city of Verona.
Facebook is clearly useful in these ways, but I had not appreciated to what extent this particular new media literacy might have a direct impact on our appreciation of the plays themselves, until one of our new members, Anna, posted a link to this write-up of a student project that views Romeo and Juliet as A Facebook Tragedy of competing social networks which "contains an emphasis on the bonds between kinsmen and family. The play focuses on both honoring these bonds, and the consequences of breaking bonds."
Shakespeare offers all the fascination of the archaic and unfamiliar to those who are keen on historical mysteries, but most of his enduring attraction is due to the aptness of his themes for every age and the up-to-date voice with which he has always spoken on issues close to the human heart. This powerful communication has demanded translation into almost every world language and transliteration into every conceivable medium (live theatre, music, dance, film, TV…), with each translater or producer creating new metaphors in order to stay true to the old themes in their new medium. In our networked age, it should not surprise us to find Shakespeare alive in Facebook too!
Analysts have revealed that the number of mobile users in Africa is growing at double the rate of the rest of the globe. From 1999 through 2004, mobile subscribers in Africa jumped to 76.8 million, from 7.5 million. The technology revolution has come to African countries via the mobile phone, not the personal computer, as it did in America and Europe. And just as the internet encouraged the creation of some digital firms, the mobile phone boom in Africa is creating many opportunities, but tailored to local needs.
South Africans have launched the first text based entertainment, fiction written specifically for the mobile phone. Novel Idea inspires innovative content creation on the mobile platform. The pilot, which launched on 7 July 2008, is apparently the first time short fiction has been specifically commissioned for delivery via mobile phones in Africa. It has also been a unique way to promote professional South African writers.
In Kenya, there is a service called M-Pesa. This is simply an extra line on the mobile phone menu that says: "Send Money". With this, people go to an office, transfer funds onto their phone account, and then send them to their friends, or family, or anybody else with a mobile. The receivers then go to an office, show the code on the mobile and some ID, and collect the cash.
I remember, when mobile phones were first introduced, how people in the remote villages were so eager for service that they built 'treehouses' to catch signals from distant mobile phone masts. I remember how demand for air time was so strong in Nigeria that from late 2002 to early 2003 operators there were forced to suspend the sale of SIM cards, while they strengthened their networks. Today, when I think of how the mobile phone has influenced the lives of Africans, I think of the old woman unable even to write her last name, telling customers to call her mobile phone if they want to buy the fish she sells.
On 1/12/09 I posted Transliteracy and the Voice: Chinese, Hollywood Talkies, and Reading Poetry Aloud where I talked about introducing the poetry of Keats to IOCT Masters' students with computer science backgrounds. I challenged them to memorise a few stanzas but hadn't expected any more than that so was very surprised when, a few days later, Dave Soden, one of those students, sent me this link. He had set La Belle Dame Sans Merci to music and performed it himself with a guitar accompaniment. The result? This haunting and memorable song.
Facebook: The Transliterate's Soap Opera?
B is beginning to get the jitters about giving birth….
This could easily be a soap opera plot line. But instead, it is a series of Facebook updates, each accompanied by typed dialogue and comments from supportive friends, photographs, scan images, illustrated "gifts" and polls to predict the baby's name. This is just one storyline of many that could be populating your news stream on Facebook – effectively bringing a television soap opera-type narrative into your online experience.
Games – updates when friends play or progress in Facebook-based games, such as Farmville, or quizzes.
This stream of content is then effectively framed by adverts, much like a a television soap.
Although Facebook may appear to be predominantly text-based, to engage fully, I must be able to navigate and understand this entire range of literacies. And engage I must to find out about all of the plot and character developments. For example, the designers of Facebook have restricted the amount of space any one update may occupy, thus truncating messages or conversations and forcing the user to click to view it in its entirety. However, this forced engagement does also offer the convenience of choice – if I am not as deeply interested in a particular character – sorry, friend! – or plot line – sorry, life development! – then I can gloss over them.
But is this what a soap opera is supposed to be about? There are many reasons viewers of television soap operas give for their often addictive viewing: seeing how other people handle issues, character association, familiarity, the cliff hangers, chatting with friends about the most recent plot line… However, they also cite convenience and escapism. The scheduling of soap operas at times when people have just returned from work make them a relaxation mechanism. Active – or rather, action-based – engagement is not mentioned.
Facebook The Soap Opera is increasingly easy to access – particularly via mobile devices – making it a convenient addiction at any time of day. You can see, in real time, how other people handle life's dramas and influence them more effectively than by shouting at the television. You can associate with the familiar characters – they are people you know personally after all. Some of the characters may be people you have little physical contact with, so may as well be fictional characters within the Facebook soap opera. Real life narratives also feature cliff hangers, just like constructed ones.
What I am beginning to see in Facebook is an interactive, transliterate soap opera – a narrative space in which I can relax and be entertained by the ordinary features of life. But I am encouraged to engage and I am encouraged to "read" in different ways within the same space.
All of this leads me to wonder, perhaps not uniquely, whether constructed soap opera narratives could be delivered within the Facebook platform? Would people want or need further ordinary life stories delivered within this environment? What could a constructed narrative bring to this existing, self-perpetuating mixed media soap opera?
In fact, the thought is not unique. In researching this I discovered "Boymeetsgirl" an experiment in interactive storytelling which relied heavily, although not exclusively, on Facebook. What I found particularly interesting about producer Jill Golick's website was this statement: "Together we can create branded entertainment that's targeted, inexpensive and highly effective." Soap operas originally gained their name due to the soap company advertising that funded their production. This statement from Golick highlights the potential for ad-funded writing in this area, with stories crafted as desirable brands. This brand aspect also links into a popular feature of the TV soap – the cohesive effect which binds fellow viewers in conversation after the broadcast. So maybe there will be a market for constructed narratives….
The reason for my thinking about this is that I have recently started drafting a short Facebook-based story about gossip culture and constructed identity entitled: "What do you think of Josie?". The aim is to enable users to post comments/observations to a group, jointly creating the character of the new girl at work (Josie), and the happenings that pertain to her. This was conceived as an interactive, collaborative writing exercise. However, thinking about Facebook as more of a soap opera platform, I am reassessing how I should manage the delivery of my story to make best use of the strengths of the platform. It is also helping me to get a better understanding of my potential audience – something I admit I have struggled with since I moved into writing for new media.
So, is this the future of the soap opera as television viewing figures and advertising revenues fall? Possibly. Or are we seeing a new, transliterate audience emerging for ordinary life stories – including some who may not ever consider watching a TV soap?
I will admit that I consider myself in that latter category with regards to TV soaps, despite the common indoctrination techniques of parents and house mates. However, I think I could become a fan of a Facebook soap…. Make of that what you will!
It is with these thoughts in mind that my students and I began our final unit of the term: "Inanimate Alice and Transliteracy." Having spent time giving students an overview of online narratives and various examples (blog fiction, flickr stories, tweet narratives etc…), a background of narrative theories, and the current definition of transliteracy, we were ready to put our learning into practise.
In recent weeks a few things have got me thinking about the role of the voice in transliteracy. I've been taking a beginner's class in Mandarin, and therefore have been introduced to the fascinating intonations of the language. As you probably already know, a word can have different meanings in Chinese depending on the way it is pronounced, so this means my group spends a lot of time vocalising the sounds. It is many years since I have been required to chant aloud with the rest of the class, and I'm finding it really enjoyable, even though much of what I'm learning drains away the minute the session ends. Right now I'm not so much learning Mandarin as experiencing it. I've never been to China (am going next year) but the physical act of stretching my vocal chords in different ways to pronounce the language feels almost like a kind of psychic travel on its own, a way to inhabit a different culture just through learning how to say and hear its sounds.

16 June to 16 July 2016
Opening Thursday 16 June from 7 to 9 pm
Marie-Claire Blais
Road Wall Door
For her first solo exhibition at Diaz Contemporary, Montreal artist Marie-Claire Blais introduces three recent bodies of work, each activating the different ways that we apprehend form and space, and organize it in our perceptual memory. Diffusion and diffraction of light are key emblems in her work, articulating a space between viewer and stage of action, delineating the threshold between them, offering a route of access.
ROAD In Tracé d'un clair-obscur (Half-light Drawing), 2015, light provides a direction, with lines emerging from the dark into an expanse of pale colour. Like field markers made when navigating new territory, a way through to an interior space aligns, forming a road to follow, with the lines uniting to an imperceptible horizon. Fine lines of plaster in relief, similar to the microgrooves of a vinyl record, oscillate on the surface, expanding from and disappearing into the distance of the directed view.
WALL Where the lines in the works of Tracé d'un clair-obscur converge at the vanishing point and privilege the act of the gaze above the reward of its destination, in the works comprising Entrevoir le jour (Glimpse of the day), 2014, Blais alludes to the division between day and night, when daily activity fuses into dream. This "wall" is a filter, a threshold in constant flux, light and dark, shifting between blocking and permitting a view, ultimately camouflaging itself. Across the surfaces of dyed burlap, the works reveal instances of fine threads of burlap gently removed, creating voids, where the subtraction of substance equally pronounces a constituent solidity.
DOOR The folds of night evoked in Entrevoir le jour fade into a series of forms and layers, and the wall gives way to a door, barrier and entry simultaneously. The works of Être la porte qui s'ouvre, 2016, propose a field that places us where seeing and being crossfade and collapse the distance of viewing, suspending us at this threshold – stage and audience at the same time – with painted diffraction cascading multiplied, immersive perspectives across the canvas. The viewer is enveloped in this in-between, anticipatory space of the "rideau de scène."
The exhibition ROAD WALL DOOR acts like a transitional passage through these three stages of moving through space and time, giving form to the way we process what we see and how it is absorbed into memory.
MARIE-CLAIRE BLAIS (b. Levis, QC, 1974) lives and works in Montreal. Blais studied architecture at the University of Montreal before concentrating full-time on her visual arts practice. Her work in a range of media focuses on our experiences of moving through space and how we perceptually index those encounters in memory. Her work has been featured in exhibitions in Quebec and Ontario, including L'oeil et l'esprit, Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal (2015), Blancs, Galerie René Blouin, Montreal (2014) and Projet HoMa, Fondation Guido Molinari, Montreal (2013).

What happens if the earth stops?
As we know, everything in our world rotates. The Earth is around its axis and around the Sun, and it revolves around its axis and at the same time around the center of the Galaxy, which also moves around the center of the local accumulation of galaxies. We are unable to stop it. But let's just imagine that the Earth stopped his rotation around the axis. What happens to life on earth?
In nature there are planets that seem to not rotate. These planets are always turned one side to their star. This is due to the fact that the gravitational interaction (tidal forces) between the planets and their stars can gradually slow down the rotation speed of the planet until the period of rotation around its axis coincides with the orbital period. For the very reason, the moon is always turned to one side to us.
The same situation is also on many exoplanets, especially on those who are very close to their stars, where the tidal effect is stronger. As a result, one side is extremely frozen, and the other is riveted.
The rotation of our planet slows down by about 1.7 milliseconds per century. It is so small that this slowdown is absolutely unnoticed and unlikely to stop completely all the time that the solar system remains. But let's imagine that the land stopped sharply.
If the Earth instantly ceased to rotate, it would be a catastrophe. We do not feel this, but at the equator, the speed of rotation of the Earth reaches about 1600 km / h. If the land stops sharply, all objects on the inertia will fly to the east. People, houses, trees and everything else will continue their movement at hundreds of kilometers per hour (1600 km / h at the equator, the closer to the poles, the less speed). What happens when you meet with the nearest hill at such a speed I think to everyone understand. In addition, the atmosphere rotating along with the Earth will clean up almost all of its surface with the strongest hurricane wind, the exception will be only polar regions that rotated much slower.
If the earth will stop gradually, the consequences will still be disastrous, although they will unfold slower. Without 24-hour days, we are accustomed to all animals, all biological rhythms would be shot down, which would lead to the death of many species of animals and plants. Over time, the climate on Earth will change, because the day will become equal to the year and the surface will freeze, then it will be split every year. Only a few microorganisms and the inhabitants of the depths of the ocean will be able to survive in such conditions. Some scientists believe that the end of our magnetic field would also come, which protects the planet from cosmic rays, however, it is believed that the rotation of the planet is not so significant in the formation of a magnetic field.

Are coding jobs in demand in 2021?
From big companies to small, coding career opportunities are as high as ever, and the demand continues to grow. In fact, software-focused roles make up some of the highest in-demand occupations in Canada, according to the Information and Communications Technology Council.
These tech roles include:
UX/UI Designers
Cybersecurity Analysts
DevOps Engineers
Machine Learning Engineers
IT Support Specialists
It may seem like having many new developers enter the workforce would create competition, but demand in different specializations remains high. The key to a long, successful career in the web development industry is deciding on your specialization and pivoting if you feel that you don't like your niche.
Coding careers are generally categorized into three main specializations (click to jump to section):
Full-stack developer
Similarly, these positions come in a few different formats:
Full-time (remote or in-person)
Part-time (remote or in-person)
These coding careers each provide their own fulfilling outlooks and a variety of ways to specialize, learn, and grow. In fact, Randstad ranks web developers as the number one IT and technology job in Canada.

How do I start a career in coding?
Avenues to become a web developer are broadening. Many employers no longer require a four-year computer science bachelor's degree. Instead, alternative forms of education, like a coding bootcamp, associate's degree, or demonstrable programming experience as a freelancer are seen as valuable.
Let's go through each of the primary career arcs and what you'll do in each role:
Common coding careers
Full-stack developer career path
Full-stack developers are knowledgeable in every level of web development: both front-end and back-end. As a full-stack developer, you'll work with other developers and designers to create websites or applications. You'll have a hand in each part of the websites' design and development. You'll plan, code, coordinate, and/or multi-task depending on where your career leads you.
A full-stack developer doesn't have just one specialization. They're multi-talented, and a high-level doer and thinker. You may think of a 'stack' in the term "full-stack" as the technology components used to create a complete application. So full-stack developers know and work with each layer of the stack.
A full-stack developer might know:
APIs, Databases, and Servers
Once they're employed in the field, a full-stack developer, like any developer, should constantly learn. They might find that each employer requires them to learn new programming languages or technology. They might find that each employer requires them to learn a new technology or language. A coding bootcamp graduate should be more than up for this task and might even enjoy employing their learning again.
Day to day:
A day in the life of a full-stack developer usually involves meeting with the dev and design teams to architect a website or application, answering help desk tickets, coding, debugging something you've already coded, optimizing your work for multiple platforms, or turning a mock-up into functional code.
Most full-stack developers work with a team whether they're at a startup or a large company. If they're working freelance, they'll likely be building an entire application, website, or component by themselves. However, they'll still need to communicate with their client as they would a team but in more layman's terms. Freelance full-stack developers also add business-building tasks to their daily to-do lists including networking, marketing, time management, and bookkeeping.
Full-stack developers typically rise through the ranks the most quickly and might find themselves in charge of a small team relatively early on. They also, depending on the responsibilities they take on at work, might find themselves well positioned to become a project manager in the future.
Front-end developer career path
Front-end developers create the look and feel of a website or application. As a front-end developer you'll work with designers and back-end developers to make the website look and feel the way the client or designers want. You'll manipulate fonts, colours, menus, and interactive components using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (or any other language used within a tech stack) and debugging those components.
Front-end developers specialize in front-end frameworks. We refer to the front-end of a website or application as the "client side" because it is the part the clients (end users) interact with.
A front-end developer might know:
Testing techniques and tools
EmberJS
A day in the life of a front-end developer might involve meeting with the dev and designs teams to create plans, answer help desk tickets if your company uses them, coding, researching the best technology to use for a project, debugging something you've already coded, and turning a designer's mock-up into functional code.
Most front-end developers work with a team, regardless of whether they're at a startup or a large company. If they freelance, they'll likely work with some kind of team but probably not as actively as they might while at a company. Freelance front-end developers will also add business building tasks to their daily to-do lists including networking, marketing, time management, and bookkeeping.
Back-end developer career path
Back-end developers configure the servers and databases that power a website or application. As a back-end developer, you'll work with other developers and designers to power the front-end of the website. You'll be the architect behind the beautifully-designed site. You might code based off of a plan another developer or designer has created or create the plan yourself.
A back-end developer specializes in working with databases, logic, and server-side languages. We refer to the back-end of a website or application as the "server side" because it's the component that communicates with the server.
A back-end developer might know:
Databases and SQL
A day in the life of a back-end developer usually involves meeting with the dev and design teams to make plans for projects, answering help desk tickets if your company uses them, coding, debugging something you've already coded, configuring databases and servers, manipulating data, and turning a mock-up into functional code.

What's the difference between a software engineer and a developer?
Software engineer and full-stack developer are often used synonymously in the industry.
Sometimes these job titles will mean exactly the same thing. While at other employers, these two job titles may mean completely different things. Some employers designate back-end tasks to software engineers while keeping their full-stack developer a generalist who works with every layer of the web application.
Some employers expect software engineers to work with local computer systems instead of web applications and websites. Then there are companies that assign software engineers to code heavy tasks while putting full-stack developers on tasks like user experience research, front-end design, architecture planning, and deployment, along with some coding tasks. Long story short, read the job description before applying.
Every job title will vary from employer to employer.
Additional Coding Career Specializations
There are plenty of job opportunities out there for you as a developer, whether that's back-end, front-end, or full-stack. You'll be able to find jobs full-time, part-time, on-site, or remote. If you're feeling up to it, you can even freelance temporarily to get more experience during your job search or full-time to start your own business.
Web developers are in demand in virtually every industry. Expand your horizons even further by exploring careers in development beyond as a web developer.
Alternative career paths to being a web developer (excluding the titles mentioned above) include:
Full-Stack Engineer
Full-Stack Software Engineer
Full-Stack Architect
Technical Product Manager
Front-end Engineer
HTML/CSS Developer
Front-end Web Designer
Front-end Quality Assurance Engineer (QA Engineer)
Dev Marketer
At the end of the day, all these roles are trying to solve problems by writing code. All programming jobs require a great deal of problem solving, coding skills, and programming experience. Learning to code is the first step in starting a career in the tech industry.
Is coding a good career?
The short answer to this question is yes, coding is a good career. There are many benefits to computer programming careers but like most careers, there are a number of drawbacks as well.
Let's start by reviewing the benefits:
Pros to coding jobs
Set your own hours: Coders are often able to set their own hours and enjoy a flexible work schedule. This is most common with freelancers but can be negotiated into your contract with a full-time or part-time employer.
Work remote: Given the nature of the job, it is not always required for a coder to be in-office to do their job. Many employers offer work remote or work from home options to their development team.
Casual dress code: Obviously if you're working from home the dress code will be quite casual; however, most in-office coding jobs will have a fairly relaxed dress code. This will vary from workplace to workplace and depend largely on the industry and company you work for but for the most part, coder dress codes are quite casual.
Pay: Computer programmers have some of the best salary ranges in the world. Entry-level computer programmers can expect to earn a starting salary of $57,935 per year.
Continued growth and learning: For some, continued learning is an exciting way to keep their job interesting. Learning new programming languages and systems or staying up to day on data science innovations. Constant growth and development provides a rewarding way to challenge your mind and better your programming skills and your role as a developer in general.
Despite being ranked the number one tech job in Canada, there are some negative aspects to the job to consider before jumping into computer coding.
Cons to coding jobs
Isolating: Programming jobs can be fairly isolating. Many roles are less people-focused and more independent. Interactions with clients or coworkers may be minimal and delays in communication can leave coders feeling isolated.
Gaps in understanding: Frustration can build when working for a company or client that does not understand a developer's role, scope, or the value of the work.
Long hours or burnout: There can be many contributing factors to long hours or computer programming burnout. Some of which include difficult clients, delays in communication, review and approval lag, gaps in understanding, or tight deadlines.
Continued growth and learning: To some, the constant upkeep of continued learning can be a con. New tech, skills, frameworks, programming languages — these all require software developers to stay on top of updates and advancements to do their job at max efficiency.
Lack of diversity: Looking worldwide as of 2020, 91.5% of developers were male, 8% were female, and the remaining 0.5% were non-binary, genderqueer, or gender non-confirming. Diversity is important because it increases empathy, contributes to creativity and risk taking, helps us learn, grow, and practice open mindedness.
Job satisfaction of computer programmers
Job satisfaction is rated high as a coder. Satisfaction is based on salary, work environment, utilization of skills, finding enjoyment and meaning in the work, and how well matched their personality is fit for the role.
The combination of pay, autonomy, and job flexibility results in computer systems engineers being quite happy compared to people in other professions.

Are You Looking to Leave Behind More than Memories?
Are you looking to leave behind more than memories to the ones you love?
I was reading a great article from Harvard Business Review concerning employee benefits. I thought you might find value in this article also.
In 2016, employers with at least 50 full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) must offer affordable, minimum-value health coverage to at least 95 percent of their full-time employees and their dependents, or face a penalty. Employers will need to be certain they are providing coverage that meets the law's requirements. For more information, see five things to know and do to guard against health care reform penalties and calculate your company's FTEs with the FTE calculator.
2. Make voluntary insurance part of the benefits package?

Most of my childhood consisted of hospital waiting rooms, bad cafeteria food and doctors' names I couldn't pronounce. I became inevitably involved with my father's illness at age 9. I gave shots and dosed medicine. Not the definition of a "daddy's little girl" others would expect, but that was my childhood.
My father's illness took his life when I was 11, leaving behind his wife and five children. Soon after, we woke up to the bitter realization of our deteriorating financial situation. The burden that was placed on my mother's shoulders is one that nobody should have to carry alone. If my dad had had life insurance, it would have taken away the constant financial worry.
I'm now the only child in my family to have graduated from high school. And although the financial struggle to go to college continue, and I will use my trials as stepping stones and my education will be the foundation on which I build my life.
I wish I could say it better, but I can't form a sentence that expresses how much my family would have benefited from life insurance. Although setbacks have struck me when I am down, I've found that true failure lies when I stop trying. I refused to give up then, and I refuse to give up now.

Have You Protected What Matter Most?
If someone will suffer financially when you die, chances are you need life insurance. Life insurance provides cash to your family after your death. This cash (known as the death benefit) replaces your income and can help your family meet many important financial needs like funeral costs, daily living expenses and college funding. What's more, there is no federal income tax on life insurance benefits.
Most Americans need life insurance. To figure out if you need life insurance, you need to think through the worst-case scenario. If you died tomorrow, how would your loved ones fare financially? CLICK FOR INSTANT QUOTE!
Would they have the money to pay for your final expenses (e.g., funeral costs, medical bills, taxes, debts, lawyers' fees, etc.?) Would they be able to meet ongoing living expenses like the rent or mortgage, food, clothing, transportation costs, healthcare, etc? What about long-range financial goals? Without your contribution to the household, would your surviving spouse be able to save enough money to put the kids through college or retire comfortably?
The truth is, it's always a struggle when you lose someone you love. But your emotional struggles don't need to be compounded by financial difficulties. Life insurance helps make sure that the people you care about will be provided for financially, even if you're not there to care for them yourself. CLICK FOR INSTANT QUOTE!
To help you understand how life insurance might apply to your particular situation, I've outlined a number of different scenarios. So whether you're young or old, married or single, have children or don't, take a moment to consider how life insurance might fit into your financial plans. Click here to review your scenario.
Teledoc – By Pass the Office Visit!
Entire family can have access to a doctor 24/7/365 for $20 a month!
Never leave your home to speak with a doctor and get a prescription faxed into your pharmacy!
Contact me to sign up for this program today!
When we get sick, we don't always need to go to a doctor's office, do we? Going to the doctor for a cold that won't go away versus going to the doctor for an annual exam or cancer screening are much different. The problem is that medical staffs are short staffed. If your appointment is at 3:00 pm, you are expected to check-in at 2:45 pm and may not even see your doctor until 4:00pm. This means, you have to leave work early and miss out on pay.
Today, I want to share how you can see a doctor in a different way – via phone/video! Sounds crazy, but with all advances in technology, it's genius! Did you know…?
70% of all doctor visits could have been handled via phone/video?
HEALTH CARE COSTS ARE TOO HIGH.
As a business owner myself, I find that it is difficult to make time to see the doctor, and pay out of pocket office visit fees for a simple infection or cough. Financially, it hurts both me, and my business. If you work full-time, attend school, or have a jam packed schedule, you can relate. Even IF I am forced to enroll in Universal Health Care, what if my doctor is overbooked or I simply can't afford to take time to go?
While having this conversation with a colleague, he told me about a program which will cover individuals or entire families! Teledoc! I can actually sign up for this program, and use my phone to contact a doctor directly for minor illnesses. On top of that, he will write a prescription if necessary and fax it to my pharmacy.
While working in this new Affordable Health Care system, I see areas which are causing premiums to rise. You see, most healthy young people, between 18-35 don't visit the doctor too often. This is what the Affordable Health Care Act is banking on for the funding of the new system. The younger people are required to pay in to the system, but likely won't use their physician as much. Not just that, I have several clients and family members over the age of 60 years old who's premiums have also gone up! This is not affordable for any of us.
What if there was another solution for those who find health insurance unafforable, or even for those who already have health insurance, but want a supplement program? There is!
Contact me for more Teledoc information or other options I may have for you and your family.

Errors in online forms - a short guide.
Online forms are seen as a necessary evil rather than to be enjoyed, but something that makes them seem more evil and less necessary (leading to higher drop offs and probably swearing), is when mistakes are made. Your reaction to these errors can make or break the start of a new relationship between you and a potential customer.
We all make mistakes from time to time when completing forms, for a variety of reasons. Forms are an obstacle to overcome before we get to what we really want, be that to purchase something, sign up for a mailing list or register an interest in a service, so we often rush them and make careless mistakes along the way – TMo Nwe is not my name, but has been entered more times than I care to admit. User errors like this are unavoidable.
Less unavoidable are errors caused by confusing, ambiguous and unclear fields that have to be entered in a certain way in order to be accepted. Passwords are a serial offender here, whereby a certain length or level of complexity is required. Often however, this is not revealed to the user until they have tried to submit their form.
Dates of Birth – if you do not have drop down options for day, month and year, be sure that you state the required format for date of birth – is it 12/04/1976 or 12/04/76?
Phone numbers – do you have to include an international code? Can the number include spaces?
Credit card/bank details – similar to the above, often fields require that you have no spaces between groups of numbers, others allow it.
If you get this part of the process right, the number of errors a user makes will be drastically decreased and you will see a rise in the number of conversions. Though some errors will be a result of user error and some over zealous keyboard smashing, a lot of the time mistakes are made because it is not clear that field has to be completed in a particular way. If your form has any fields that require information to be inputted in a certain way, tell your audience in advance.
3 examples may serve to highlight the varying degree to which forms can help users get it right first time by suggesting formats in advance, giving guidance and also showing users where they might have gone wrong instantly.
The worst of the three by some distance. There is no guidance as to the correct format for each of the fields, apart from the password field, above which I am informed that it must be at least six characters. There is also no indication that I have entered an incorrectly formatted email address before I click register.
And, to make things worse, the error message cannot be seen on the screen when I am looking at the fields, so if I don't memorize which fields need correcting and how, I have to continuously scroll up and back down again to continue my corrections. Not good.
The fields are clearly highlighted in red along with an explanatory message, although it fails to state what a valid email address or postcode should look like. It also does not have guidance before this stage, which may have helped me avoid a scarlet littered screen.

Prep athlete of week: Williamston's Riley Lewis
Lewis scored a career-best 42 points during Holiday Hoops Invitational.
Prep athlete of week: Williamston's Riley Lewis Lewis scored a career-best 42 points during Holiday Hoops Invitational. Check out this story on lansingstatejournal.com: https://on.lsj.com/1RbPguR

Riley Lewis(Photo: Faucett Photography)
Riley Lewis was busy trying to help the Williamston boys basketball team wrap up a victory when someone in the stands caught his attention.
"My boy Tony Palmer - he's my best friend - was in the stands and he was yelling at me," Lewis said. "And I was like, 'What?' He said 'Two more. For 40 you've got to get two more.' I didn't know, and I had no idea (I was close to 40 points until then)."
Lewis wound up scoring four more points that day and finished with a career-best 42 points during Williamston's 80-62 victory over Troy Athens in last week's Holiday Hoops Invitational at Lansing Community College's Gannon Gym.
The scoring outburst led to Lewis being named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. And that was the latest strong performance in what's been a strong start to the season for Lewis, who was voted the LSJ prep athlete of the week.
LANSING STATE JOURNAL
Career night by Riley Lewis helps Williamston to win
Through six games, Lewis is averaging 29.8 points for the Hornets, who are 4-2 . He's increased his scoring from a dominant junior season where he averaged nearly 23 points while helping Williamston capture a share of the CAAC White title.
"He's so quick. You watch him at the games and he can go around guys and he's able to jump a little bit higher this year," Williamston coach Jason Bauer said. "He's elevated his game that way where he can dribble drive. You don't know if he's going to pick it up or go in for a layup. His game has definitely gotten even a lot better than last year, and his game last year was good. It's nice to see that. It's great to have a point guard of that caliber on the team."
Williamston standout Riley Lewis has point to prove
Lewis had scored at least 27 points in each of Williamston's games until being limited to 17 points by East Lansing in a 78-37 loss Tuesday. He and the Hornets will try to bounce back Friday when Williamston hosts Eaton Rapids in a CAAC White contest.
"For the young guys this was kind of their first taste of a really hostile environment," Lewis said following Tuesday's loss. "Getting kicked in the butt isn't always all that bad. I think we can bounce back and show that that game is behind us. We still have to learn from it in a positive way and not dwell on it in a negative way."
