an ear training test;
Further information on the different tests can be found in the section "Practical information on admission tests".
The admission examinations take place in April at the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana in Lugano (Switzerland). The presence of all candidates in Lugano for the live audition is of fundamental importance, as it guarantees a complete, careful and as objective as possible evaluation for admission.
However, in some particular cases (e.g. for travel from non-European countries, or for proven health reasons, as in the case of subjects considered at risk), candidates may contact the Academic Services office (servizi.accademici@conservatorio.ch) no later than March 15 to coordinate the way in which possible online admissions exams may take place.
Practical information on admission tests
A. Details on the practical test
The practical test (conducting an imposed piece) is structured as follows:
One week before the exam, candidates receive the piece that they must conduct during the practical test.
Candidates will be called to sit the exam at the precise moment in which the exam will start.
The day of the exam, candidates work with the University of Music's ensemble for a maximum of 30 minutes.
Your own scores. The SUM will not print the parts that candidates will conduct.
B. C. D. Details on the analysis and ear-training tests, and the interview
Once the practical test will be finished, the order in which candidates will take the tests will be established. In general, alphabetical order is applied. The analysis and ear-training tests, as well as the interview, take place on the same session and are evaluated by the same admissions commissions. They are structured as follows:
Analysis: candidates must comment (with or without the aid of a piano) a piece for ensemble composed in the past 50 years, which will be given to candidates one hour before the test starts.
Ear-training: candidates must recognize intervals and chords, and must identify errors in a polyphonic fragment, played at the piano.
Interview: candidates will be interviewed on topics related to their musical education, their future career goals, and their professional development.
The whole session should last around 20 minutes.
Exams calendar
Candidates receive an invitation to the various examinations by e-mail, with information on the date, time and location of each test. Candidates who do not take the admission examinations are automatically excluded from the selection process.

Quality time is a treasure! We attended Lollibop too for some reason we had more fun last year. Maybe the journey wore us out before the fun had begun. How was it for you?
thanks MsXpat. It was our first time at lollibop and we enjoyed it - but have to admit were exhausted by the time we got home in the evening!!!
Ah I didn't see this - we went there sun - but i think half the world was there too!


On Rick and Morty, Squanchy squanches some of his squanches with "squanch".
On South Park, we saw the Marklar marklar their marklar with "marklar".
Before those two shows, the Smurfs already smurfed some of their smurfs with "smurf".
But who was or were the first to replace some of their words with the same single word?
Clarification for those who speak neither Squanch nor Marklar nor Smurf: they all replace words or parts of words with a single word, respectively "squanch", "marklar", and "smurf". That word can be used as both a noun and a verb, even in the same sentence. It's a nonsensical word, its meaning solely to be derived from context.
The Smurfs were clearly a lot earlier than Rick and Morty and South Park. But were they the first to do this?
I'm interested in both earlier examples from fiction and real-life examples. I'm also curious to learn if Peyo took inspiration from an earlier example, if such exists.
It is hard to say for certain, as the search terms to apply for "smurfing" aren't very clear. However: Although there's likely to be many stories for children where a character replaces a word with some nonsensical term, it appears that The Smurfs themselves are indeed the first to do it on a large scale, and as part of a species' main language.
I started with Wikipedia's article on The Smurfs, which has a short section about their language. It mentions how it is used, but does not tell us about other examples of Smurf speech in fiction. TV Tropes, on the other hand, does have examples of others, and names them as the ones that gave the article its name. It does not mention if they were the first to "smurf", but considers it "probable".
The Smurfs were first introduced in 1958, drawn by the Belgian comic artist Pierre Culliford (pen name "Peyo"). They were "smurfing" since the beginning. Their stories were first published in the Spirou magazine.
The Spirou comics had earlier introduced the Marsupilami in 1952, a creature that only speaks with a very simple word - "houba". Even so, it can't be called "smurfing", because the noises it makes is not used as a replacement for otherwise normal English words - it simply cannot speak English.
"Gargantua and Pantagruel" by Rabelais (mid-1500, possibly the oldest example) has this quabble for the bells of Notre-Dame: Magister Janotus de Bragmardo note : "Ego sic argumentor: Omnis glocka glockabilis in glockenturmio glockando, glockans glockativo glockare facit glockabiliter glockantes. Parisius habet glockas. Ergo gluck.
Note: German Canis Latinicus version. "Ergo gluck" is a scholastic formula, meaning about Q.E.D.
Here the word/sound "glock" is used repeatedly to describe bells. I am sadly not able to tell if this text uses it as actual "smurfing", or if it is merely playing with alliteration. Still, if using the effect in a single poem is enough to qualify, then this certainly beats The Smurfs by over 450 years.
If there are any earlier works that contain "smurfing" , I have not been able to find them.
Like the Smurfs I am Belgian, French-speaking native and also a comic fan since my childhood. I grew reading the smurfs, in their original version. I emphasis on this because it has an importance in this debate. The answer from Nox is very interesting, but not accurate enough when it comes to the Smurf language etymology and origin, probably because he is an English-native and not a French-native, and that you need to read french to find the real explanations about this. The answer from MSilvert completes it very well and establishes the truth, but not deeply enough in my opinion.
First of all, the original name of a Smurf, is a Schtroumpf.
This is not easily pronounceable in English so they choose Smurf instead for the english versions (there are many translations for many languages). To stick in line with the French word idea, they needed a word that just did not meant anything (at that time) and that sounded well when it came to replace existing nouns or verbs with the "Schtroumpf" word and it's derivations . Smurf was a good candidate.
There's no doubt about the fact that the author of the Smurfs, Pierre "Peyo" Culliford, did not invent the Smurf language from something he already knew. It is also very important to understand that the Smurf language was invented before the characters themselves, and this was just a pure random moment of joking between 2 good friends.
So basically in a few golden seconds, Peyo invented the word, and Franquin invented the language from it. That's it. There's no other answer.
This is only months after it happenned that Peyo created the Smurfs, and named them after the word he invented that day and made them talk the smurf language, because him and his friends did not really stopped to joke with this during all those months.
I don't know if the Smurf language was the first to use a lot of Smurfing, but it seems that that author Pierre "Peyo" Culliford didn't knew about any similar language.
"I asked Franquin to give me something without remembering the name : "Give me... the smurf". I had use this word just like I would have used "Thing" He answered "Here is the smurf, when you are done smurfing, you'll smurf it back" We hade fun smurfing for a few days. We spend time translating Racine or La Fontaine in smurf. Also the popular songs from back then. Which gave surprising and hillarious results"
It is going to surprise many, but...a form of smurfing is currently used and spoken by [sane] human beings, like a real language. I mean, not as a joke or what, really as a part of everyday speaking!
So...location is Tuscany, on the north coast. This is from personal experience, and before someone from northern Italy made me notice it I never thought it was not "normal" (so to say), so I have no stats on how widespread this is.
Anyway: in Italian language there is a word, cosa, that means "thing". Everything is a thing. And...this word is used in the abovementioned area to do smurfing in a real common and natural way. Just one simple example, no need more: "When you have finished thinging that thing, could you please thing me the thing you are thinging with?"
What about Shmoos from Li'l Abner? For a real-life, noun-only example, a schmoo can be used to identify a variety of things loosely-known to the observer, usually something that brings happiness.
They reproduce asexually and are incredibly prolific, multiplying exponentially faster than rabbits. They require no sustenance other than air.
They also produce eggs (neatly packaged), milk (bottled, grade-A), and butter—no churning required. Their pelts make perfect bootleather or house timber, depending on how thick one slices it.
Naturally gentle, they require minimal care, and are ideal playmates for young children. The frolicking of shmoon is so entertaining (such as their staged "shmoosical comedies") that people no longer feel the need to watch television or go to the movies.
"After it came out both the left and the right attacked the Shmoo," according to publisher Denis Kitchen. "Communists thought he was making fun of socialism and Marxism. The right wing thought he was making fun of capitalism and the American way. Capp caught flak from both sides.
However, "shmue" was a taboo Yiddish term for the uterus. It is one of many Yiddish slang variations that would find their way into Li'l Abner... Al Capp himself wrote that the Shmoo metaphorically represented the limitless bounty of the earth ... in essence, Mother Nature herself. In Li'l Abner's words, "Shmoos hain't make believe. The [whole] earth is one!! [a shmoo]"
In economics, a "widget" is any material good which is produced through labor (extracted, refined, manufactured, or assembled) from a finite resource—in contrast to a "shmoo", which is a material good that reproduces itself and is captured or bred as an economic activity ... "If shmoos really existed, they would be a "free good." Erik Olin Wright uses the "parable of the shmoo" to introduce discussion of class structure and economics.
Echinoderm biologists use "shmoo" (often spelled "schmoo") to refer to a very simple, highly derived, blob-shaped larva found in some sea urchins ... In the field of particle physics, "shmoo" refers to a high energy cosmic ray [detector at Los Alamos] ... Over one hundred white "shmoo" detectors were at one time sprinkled around the accelerator beamstop area and adjacent mesa ... "Shmoo plot" is a technical term relating to the shmoo-shaped graphical display patterns of test circuits. In electrical engineering, a "shmoo" is a depiction of the effect of varying two or more components.
So, possible real-life example (although Smurfing has also entered the English language).
It's actually a common childhood game to substitute one word for many others, and there are probably nursery rhymes that use it though I can't think of one right now.
There is a Filipino word that has been around for hundreds of years that is used for this purpose.
The word is Kwan, and it can be used as a verb, noun, in place of a person's name; in fact, entire sentences can be said just using kwan (though they do not make sense, usually).
Kwan's literal translation to English is the thingy ma bob, the watch ya may call it, what's his name... it's the word you use when you don't remember the weird you want to use.

David Cohen made many of the first pioneering measurements in the area of biomagnetism (magnetic fields produced by the body), although he was initially trained as a nuclear physicist.

Early life and education
Cohen was born of immigrant parents in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He was raised there and earned a B.A. degree at the University of Manitoba. Then, he attended graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley, where he gained a Ph.D. in experimental nuclear physics.

Career
Working in this area, and using large magnets, he became interested in the other extreme; this was the measurement of very weak magnetic fields, which for example might be produced by the weak natural currents in the human body. In 1963, he proposed a method using a magnetically shielded room to keep out external magnetic disturbances, as in radiation shielding in nuclear experiments. At that time others reported the first biomagnetic measurement, where the MCG (magnetocardiogram, the magnetic field due to heart currents) was measured; this was done without shielding, hence showed much external interference. Cohen then built a modest shielded room, and with somewhat clearer signals verified the heart's magnetic field. He also made the first measurement of the MEG (magnetoencephalogram, the magnetic field of the brain). However, all these early biomagnetic measurements were generally too noisy, both because of the use of insensitive detectors, and incomplete magnetic shielding.

To obtain clearer results, in 1969 Cohen built an elaborate shielded room at MIT, but still needed a more sensitive detector. James Zimmerman had just developed an extremely sensitive detector called the SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device). Cohen and Zimmerman set up this detector in the new room, to look at the body's heart signal, the MCG. For the first time the signals were now clear, and their resulting report, called the magna carta of biomagnetism, ushered in a new era in biomagnetism, attracting other researchers. Cohen then measured the first clear MEG, and signals from other organs. As interest rapidly grew, other laboratories also produced new recordings. Today, most biomagnetic measurements are of the human brain (MEG); these are made in a shielded room, using a helmet over the head containing hundreds of SQUIDs. There are perhaps 200 such MEG systems in existence, worldwide.

Cohen continuously worked in biomagnetism, authored many publications, mostly concerning the MEG, and has been called "the father of the MEG". He remains active in 2017, is on the faculty at the Harvard Medical School, and is a mentor in the MEG group at MIT's Martinos Center, located at Massachusetts General Hospital.

That's not the models problem it's people. Anyone who follows the weather with interest and thinks the models have reached a point where they can consistently predict the locations of snow to within 10s of miles hasn't been paying attention. The weather models are a marvel of human endeavour, accept them as the wonderful but flawed tool they are, or enter the profession and work towards improving them, don't moan!
Noticed on the 00Z GFS that the Scandinavian High and the Atlantic trough are back for another fight later next week.
For once, it would be nice to see the Scandinavian High win the battle! Also without the Azores High causing any funny business.
(Should this sort of scenario develop next week anyway).
Having said that, congratulations to those in the South who got some white stuff today.
Not sure what you are on about. From at least a week out, the GCMs predicted a depression would pass close to the south of the United Kingdom and the associated front would move into southern England and Wales. What else would you have used to forecast that? Seaweed?
Well, I'm getting 7 degrees today from a Northerly/North Easterly in the coldest part of Winter!
The models have been pretty consistent, since November, at Day 10...And nowt beats model consistency...?
There's too much dumbing down these days. When I was younger the weather forecasts on TV were much more technical but didn't try to go into micro detail for a small area of land. You were told the general weather type for your part of the country, shown synoptic charts, told about the jet stream etc on a daily basis.
Nowadays everyone has access to forecasts on apps from numerous sources with no explanation of probabilistic forecasting and they just look at the app and say "Oh it's going to snow at 3pm" and then get arsey when it doesn't snow til 4.30pm, or sleets at 2.45pm!
The other thing that gets me is when the news says "forecasters are predicting heavy snow/rain/storms" and everyone just goes around like headless chickens saying "Oh it's going to (enter weather type) today!" without any understanding or context.
There's too much data and not enough common sense just as you say.
At last thankyou for your reply at least someone is on the same wavelength as me...totally agree with you.....!
I don't think the high res models had a very good day yesterday. Most showing a SW only affair for the heavy snow really. I think the HIRLAM 12z was the first to really latch on to the eastern extent, backed up by the 18z but the others were more sluggish even at that stage.
Morning from a very frustrated TEITS. Missed out on the snow on Tues and the front last night stalled around 20 miles to my S. So I am yet to see a single snowflake fall this winter!!
Back to the models and im disappointed with the trend between +96 to +120. I mentioned yesterday about the low pressure tracking SE, ridge from Azores, potential E,ly. Well the models have flattened the ridge and the low in the Atlantic is much further E than some model runs suggested.
Still I am not throwing the towel in just yet. I am not convinced the low at +72 is correctly modelled. Whilst an E,ly might appear unlikely I still believe we could yet see a sudden switch from the model towards an E,ly appearing at +144/+168.
And here it has sat around no higher than 3 degrees over past week maybe more bar the odd day of reaching massive 5. Last night and previous night sat around -6/-8 with persistent frost throughout the day. Not much of a difference between both locations.
Important to remember that yesterday's Low and snow event were incorrectly modeled for days by all main models.
A week away from the 31st January it was doom and gloom from some here as a Deep low in the Atlantic was modelled to sweep in mild South westerlies.
We ended up with a Channel Low and Heavy snowfall,and a continuation of the cold weather.
We are still in uncertain times,no raging jet stream ,no strong Azores High, all can be staples of a British winter and 'easily modeled" leaving little hope for snow lovers.
Uncertain times can lead to pleasant,short notice surprises.
You never know Catacol, Feb 18th 1978 produced an awesome blizzard in our neck of the woods, can't recall it being particularly cold prior to it. Living in Axbridge at the time, and we were buried.
Not usually one to call "winter is over" but I feel like that's probably largely it, now.
Very little support on any model for proper cold, EC46 has largely backed away from the idea though that model has been about as useful as a kettle in forecasting the weather this winter. Next week looks largely Atlantic dominated and those patterns can typically last a two weeks or more.
It's been a fun one, an incredibly frustrating one but that's what keeps us coming back, I suppose!
Disagree. I think nearly everyone understands how difficult it is to get snowfall right because of all the variables and quite frankly anyone who gets annoyed that it isn't snowing at the exact minute it says on an app is rather deluded.
GFS 6z is the worst op run for quite a while, more indicative of late November than mid February, lets hope just as much as the earlier op runs today were outliers at the other end of the scale. this is Westerly wind outlier.
But you are completely missing the point!!!!! It's not the models problem its the people that interpret them and the apps that are created from them! There are many sources that use cheap, poor automated forecasts produced on a mass scale that don't show the finer details of the models themselves.
Yet blame the models.... not the people using it themselves. You always come here to complain about anything forecasting or climate change related... I think you have an agenda.
If you think weather apps are the problem why make such a sweeping statement such as ' the models haven't progressed since the 1950s'? It's misleading people and from the analysis its clearly not true. Micro-scale factors such as the movements of low pressure when there are weak steering currents are always going to be difficult to model and when you consider that, it's remarkable that the models can get a good idea of where the snow will fall beforehand.
Certainly wants to ramp up the Atlantic when it should be calming down. Maybe the increase in the zonal winds in the strat are having a quicker impact on the trop than the large decrease did?


Had to take the woman to the airport today. Relative volume was down in the AM session I was available for. Looks like some of my paper trade ideas did play out. Nice strong close. 0/1 on the day. Sized down all trades from here on out. We're in confidence rebuild mode.
Don't have much to say today. 1/4 on the day. Another red one.

Spring is here and it's time to shake off the dullness of cold weather and dark days. Warmer temps present an excellent opportunity to express your personality through brighter colors, flowy fabrics and chic accessories.
Be inspired by these unique looks!
Workwear is never boring when you match high end pieces like a tailored blazer, satin bow tie and pocket square with more casual items like a dark denim. A classic neutral shoe will complete the look.
Be cool and breezy with breezy fabrics like this vest and pant from Pitaya.
It's all in the details! A vintage brooch, silver jewelry and an expertly designed jacket like this one from J. Benzal should do the trick.


The "Gas Works Superfund Site" …. is the Mayor of Bremerton, Patty Lent, involved? Stay tuned!
UPDATE: June 10, 2013. Papers obtained from reliable sources filed with the Environmental Protection Agency show that the toxic materials that were known to come from a concrete pipe existing at the Bremerton Gas Works Superfund site was and continues to be owned by Theodore C. Blomberg (lessor) and as President and Secretary Treasurer of Lent's (Oil) Inc. (lessee).
During this ownership time, Harold D. Lent was employed by and served as Lent's Inc. President and Director.
Patty Lent, mayor of Bremerton and former Kitsap County Commissioner, is Harold D. Lent's wife. Patty Lent has been and still is Chair of the Kitsap Public Health District Board of Directors who have responsibilities to "inform the public" of the facts associated with the pollution and those who committed this environmental catastrophe.
Please stay tuned as more information is collected.
Good work. This is shameful. Hope the facts come out.

Choreographer Alvin Ailey, singer Freddie Mercury and entertainer Josephine Baker are among the fresh arrivals who will be joining 28 other LGBT heroes that the Rainbow Honor Walk has recognized with large bronze plaques on Castro, Market and 19th streets.
"I can honestly say that this is one of the few things in my entire life that was my idea," said David Perry, who had an epiphany in the late 1980s as he was walking past the Castro Theatre.
"It was the depths of the AIDS years," he said. "I was very cognizant of the fact we were losing a generation of people. And I was thinking: What happens if there's no one here to tell our story? We need to memorialize our history, because if we don't, nobody else will. Or they'll tell it in the wrong way."

Perry envisioned something akin to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But it took a long time, even by San Francisco's glacial standards, to turn that concept into reality — including unending meetings, community input, appearances before city committees, the founding of the Rainbow Honor Walk nonprofit and an international design competition. Then there was the incessant fundraising, given that each plaque costs between $5,000 and $6,000.
"Every penny has been raised privately. I was pretty relentless. I was worse than Dede Wilsey," Perry said, referring to the former president of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. "And I mean that in a nice way. There's a joke that when she was trying to raise money for the de Young, everyone would say, 'Oh my God, it's Dede on the phone. I'm going to have to write a check.' I was just voted onto the board of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. And I'm hitting them all up."
Most donations to the Rainbow Honor Walk are between $25 and $100. The smallest was $1 and the largest was $22,000. The biggest single donor is retired Teamster Allan Baird, who is straight and lives in the Castro. He has given $30,000, unsolicited, in $5,000 increments. In the late 1970s, when he was a local leader of a nationwide boycott of Coors beer, his friend Harvey Milk persuaded gay bars in the city to stop serving it.

It's not easy to get a spot on the sidewalk and be immortalized in bronze. Milk, the late San Francisco supervisor, still hasn't made the cut.
"One of our board's most passionate debates was about Harvey," said Perry, a longtime publicist. "When I originally had the idea, I thought that he'd be first. But now Harvey has a plaque and a painting where his store was on Castro Street. He has an airport terminal, a Muni stop, a school, a stamp and a special state day. One board member asked, 'What would Harvey have done?' Harvey would have said, 'Everyone knows who I am. We need to elevate someone else.' "
In that particular board meeting, a young man named George Choy was selected instead. Anyone who stops by his plaque on the west side of Castro Street will learn that he was born in 1960, died in 1993, and was "a passionate activist for queer Asians and Pacific Islanders and AIDS awareness who was instrumental in bringing LGBT counseling programs into San Francisco public high schools."
David Perry had the idea for San Francisco's Rainbow Honor Walk in the late 1980s. On July 23, 2019, he visited some of the sidewalk plaques on Castro Street. (Patricia Yollin/KQED)
The initial 20 honorees, whose plaques were installed in September 2014, included civil rights leader Bayard Rustin, social worker Jane Addams, journalist Randy Shilts, poet Allen Ginsberg, disco drag star Sylvester, painter Frida Kahlo, transgender pioneer Christine Jorgensen, scientist Alan Turing, athlete Tom Waddell and writer James Baldwin.
Anyone can submit a nomination to the 10-member Rainbow Honor Walk board, which Perry has chaired for a decade. There were more than 170 nominees for the latest round of 24 —eight installed in November 2017, another eight this week and eight more in October. Discussions are often fierce about who will and won't get a plaque.
"It makes Miss America look like a walk in the park," Perry said. "Every gray hair I have is from the Rainbow Honor Walk."
In the early days, the all-volunteer board struggled to decide what criteria would be used to select honorees. "And then one board member said, 'Look, I'm sorry, here's what it is: All gay, all famous, all dead,' " Perry recalled.
But it's actually a little more complicated than that. "We worked really hard on diversity, parity and making sure we're representative of the community," he said. "The thing that's least important about the Rainbow Honor Walk is paying tribute to these people. It's more about their stories inspiring other people and another generation."

The plaques honor deceased lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer individuals from all over the world who have all been leaders in their field and who made a difference to society.
On Tuesday morning, San Francisco Public Works installed three of the new plaques on Market Street; the other five will be done on Wednesday.
Entertainer Donna Sachet, a member of the Rainbow Honor Walk board who has been described as "the first lady of the Castro," was on the scene to coordinate the project, along with her dog, Peanut. It was one of those rare moments when she was wearing ordinary street clothes.
"It's too early for drag," declared Sachet.
She'd arrived around 8 a.m., but that was fine because she's a huge fan of the project. "It's so easy to forget our past," she said.

The plaques, 3 feet by 3 feet and made by Mussi Artworks Foundry in Berkeley, will be officially unveiled Friday. On the south side of Market, Alvin Ailey will be keeping company with congressman Gerry Studds and Costa Rica-born Mexican singer Chavela Vargas. On the opposite side of the street, Josephine Baker and Freddie Mercury will coexist with poet W.H. Auden, trans activist and author Lou Sullivan and physician Marie Equi.
Since the Rainbow Honor Walk is believed to be the first of its kind in the world, the board routinely gets inquiries about how it was done. Perry has witnessed a group of journalism students visit the plaque of Randy Shilts and a gaggle of Irish tourists gush over Oscar Wilde. Members of the local Federico García Lorca fan club lit candles at his plaque on his birthday, and owners of a wine shop on 19th Street wash Del Martin's nearby plaque with soap and water every week. And just last month Debbie Mesloh, president of the San Francisco Commission on the Status of Women, told the Chronicle she loves the honor walk and is hoping something similar could be created for women.

The only act of vandalism occurred early on and was not homophobic. "The biggest enemy of the Rainbow Honor Walk is chewing gum," said Perry. He admitted, however, that his dog, the late Miss Drew, once relieved herself on a plaque before he could pull her away.
He is stepping down as board chair after this week's installation. It's time for new leadership, he said, though he'll continue as an unpaid consultant. "It's the most challenging and best work I've ever done," said the 57-year-old Perry, whose public relations firm has handled everything from the Olympic Torch Relay in 2008 and the 2016 Super Bowl 50 Committee to the quest by George Lucas to build a cultural museum in San Francisco.

Perry said the walk will eventually extend from the Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy on 19th Street at Diamond down to Castro, with another offshoot on 18th Street, and continue on Market to the LGBT Center on Octavia Boulevard.
'What happens if there's no one here to tell our story? We need to memorialize our history, because if we don't, nobody else will.' David Perry, chair of Rainbow Honor Walk board
The designs for the new plaques were displayed on June 3 at an event in the Google Community Space in San Francisco, at the beginning of pride month.
"I live in the Castro, and I worked in the Castro for a long time," Rebecca Prozan, Google's director of government relations, told the crowd. "And because I walk to Muni most mornings, I see the plaques on the street. I know what they mean to me, I know what they mean to the neighborhood, and I know what they will mean in the future."
And in an age where so many people get most of their information through cellphones, laptops and other kinds of technology, she added, there's something to be said for "going old school — looking down, looking up, looking around."
That's evident on the streets of the Castro every day. On the last Saturday in July, I revisited the Rainbow Honor Walk with my friend Mike Smith, a retired political scientist from Kansas who has lived and worked in Appalachia for more than 40 years. He recognized 15 names on the 28 plaques in the sidewalk. The others piqued his curiosity.
"This is an opportunity to celebrate people who folks might not recognize or want to talk about," Smith said. "And it's really wonderful that it's being done. For people who haven't been introduced to them or aren't aware of them, if they walk by and look at what's written there, that might stimulate some interest and some questions."
The bronze plaques for the Rainbow Honor Walk were made at Mussi Artworks Foundry in Berkeley. Here's one of singer Freddie Mercury, waiting in the foundry for its trip across the bay. (Courtesy of Mussi Artworks Foundry)
Jacquie and Henry Davis, visiting from Sydney, Australia, stopped for a while to admire the plaque of García Lorca, a poet, playwright and political activist murdered in 1936 by fascists during the Spanish Civil War.
They'd become fans of the plaques while meandering around the Castro.
"I quite like them," Jacquie said. "It's a very good idea, preserving individuals and their history. And it's not like something made of plastic."
The installation of eight new plaques in the Rainbow Honor Walk is a three-day project for San Francisco Public Works, which began breaking up the sidewalk the day before the first three plaques went into the ground. As workers smoothed wet concrete around the tribute to Lou Sullivan on Aug. 6, 2019, local drag performer Donna Sachet said it reminded her of putting icing on a cake. (Patricia Yollin/KQED)

Q: How to get sum of each column of nxn matrix in Java? I'm studying Java. And i wanted to make the code for checking a 2D array that returns if it is a magic square or not.
In order to do that, i had to write couple of different methods and one of them was for checking is all the sum of elements in each columns are equal. I could do for rows, but i got little bit confused vwhen i tried to do that for columns. And my friend said it's almost same with the method which check all row's sums are equal. My method for rows are below.
    public static boolean rowSumsOK(int arr[][], int total) {
    boolean a = false;
    total = sumOneRow(arr);
    int x=0; // this will be counted sum for each rows

    for (int i=0; i<arr.length; i++){
        for (int j=0; j<=arr.length; j++){
            x = x + arr[i][j];
        }
        if(x != total){
            a = false;
            break;
        }

        else
            a = true;
    }

    return a;
}

and he suggested to change in that method for doing it for columns is:
        x = x + arr[j][i];

I'm still little bit confused about this. Can you explain me for this method or show me another way to do it guys?

A:     public static boolean columnSumsOK ( int arr[][], int total )
    {
        for ( int j = 0; j < arr [ 0 ].length; j++ )
        {
            int sum = 0;
            for ( int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ )
                sum = sum + arr [ i ] [ j ];
            if ( sum != total )
                return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

A: I would keep another array(columnTotal) that has the totalSum of the elements in column i. Then loop through the columns, one column at a time, and sum the rows in that column. Basically, it's the code for row summing, but with the inner and outer loops reversed. Try something like this:
int columnTotal[] = new int[array.length];

for(int column= 0; column< array.length; column++)
{
    columnTotal[column] = 0;
    for(int row= 0; row < array.length; row++)
    {
        columnTotal[column] += array[row][column];
    }
}

« Obama Heads To K.C. and Las Vegas, Searching For Whose A** To Kick
Slow News Day: San Fran Considers Ban On All Pet Sales »
Fish Wrap Of Record Goes All Constitutiony Over Arizona Lawsuit
July 8, 2010 – 9:03 am
How much do you want to bet the NY Times editorial board would not be quite so charitable were it the Bush DoJ suing a state over a Constitutional issue – The Constitution Trumps Arizona
The Obama administration has not always been completely clear about its immigration agenda, but it was forthright Tuesday when it challenged the pernicious Arizona law that allows the police to question the immigration status of people they detain for local violations. Only the federal government can set or enforce immigration policy, the government said in its lawsuit against the state, and "Arizona has crossed this constitutional line."
There is nothing terribly complicated about this principle, which is based on several aspects of the Constitution, acts of Congress, and Supreme Court decisions over the years. A patchwork of state and local immigration policies would cause havoc.
I wonder if someone from the Fish Wrap could explain the 9th and 10th Amendments, then? I'll wait while they frantically search for a copy of the US Constitution. Oh, and while they are at it, perhaps they could look at this paragraph in Article VI, which I have mentioned a few times previously
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
Hmm, funny how the Times fails to mention that all these folks must follow the laws, and that the Federal government is not fully upholding its job to "repel Invasions" as set forth in another section of that pesky Constitution, not to mention barely following federal immigration law as it is.
As the Justice Department points out in its complaint, the Arizona law will divert resources from the government's pursuit of dangerous aliens, including terrorists, spies and violent criminals. It will harass authorized immigrants, visitors and citizens who might not be carrying their papers when stopped by the police. It will ignore the country's cherished protections of asylum and will interfere with national foreign policy interests. (Already several Mexican governors are refusing to meet with their American counterparts in Arizona, a sign of the diplomatic disarray produced by the law.)
No one ever said the job of government and law enforcement was easy. Hey, the Times is failing to mention that Rhode Island has had this exact same law for years. I wonder why? Oh, BTW, Fish Wrap? Federal law requires legal visitors to our country to have their "papers" on them at all times. Shocker!
Though private lawsuits have done so, the government's suit does not allege any discrimination or civil rights violations in the law, in part because that case is difficult to make until the law goes into effect on July 29.
So, Obama, Holder, and all sorts of other Democrats were full of mule fritters with their talking points about discrimination? Who knew?
Anyhow, it is good to see the NY Times step up to defend the Constitution, even if there defense is somewhat misguided. I wonder if they will step up for the Constitution regarding the ObamaCare insurance mandate?

Its all spin. By both sides of the debate.
The problem is that the immigration problem plays out worse for the GOP then it does the Democrats.
The Dems love the poor and downtrodden Hispanics sneaking over the border to just try and feed little Juan, while the GOP is seen as Minutemen standing on the border wearing white sheets and manning machine gun posts just daring poor little JUAN to try and drink some bonafide US MILK.
I believe the GOP has cast themselves as the party of irrelevance as the Hispanic voter block becomes larger and larger in this country and turn to the Dems for support because the GOP only seems to care about White, Sheet wearing, Gun waving Rednecks.
THATS NOT TRUE OF THE GOP…but its perceptions that count and thats exactly how the GOP is being played out by the Dems and La Raza to the Hispanic populace across America and south of the border.
John Ryan says:
The Wall Street Journal has opined somewhat differentlyhttp://blogs.wsj.com/law/2010/07/06/expert-on-arizona-case-not-a-slam-dunk-for-either-side/
And looks like Teach's fav gov AZ's Brewer has gotten caught making up stories of multiple beheadings along the border. http://www.arizonaguardian.com/azg/index.php?catid=937:campaigns-a-elections-fp&id=2201:county-coroners-cant-back-brewer-beheadings-claim&option=com_content&view=article
Why does she have to tell these lies ?????
gitarcarver says:
Yet the coroners do say that police had found skulls with no bodies attached. Technically, that may not mean that a person has been beheaded, but it does not mean they have not, as the coroners all say.
As for your question of "why does she have to tell these lies?" that is fairly rich coming from you. If you are going to ask why other people lie, why not give us the answer as to why you lie?
Oh, and by the way, Ryan, if the White House wants to argue "pre-emption" (which SB1070 is not) clearly Holder forgot to read Obama's own memorandum published back in 2009:
Preemption Memorandum
From our Nation's founding, the American constitutional order has been a Federal system, ensuring a strong role for both the national Government and the States. The Federal Government's role in promoting the general welfare and guarding individual liberties is critical, but State law and national law often operate concurrently to provide independent safeguards for the public. Throughout our history, State and local governments have frequently protected health, safety, and the environment more aggressively than has the national Government.
An understanding of the important role of State governments in our Federal system is reflected in longstanding practices by executive departments and agencies, which have shown respect for the traditional prerogatives of the States. In recent years, however, notwithstanding Executive Order 13132 of August 4, 1999 (Federalism), executive departments and agencies have sometimes announced that their regulations preempt State law, including State common law, without explicit preemption by the Congress or an otherwise sufficient basis under applicable legal principles.
The purpose of this memorandum is to state the general policy of my Administration that preemption of State law by executive departments and agencies should be undertaken only with full consideration of the legitimate prerogatives of the States and with a sufficient legal basis for preemption. Executive departments and agencies should be mindful that in our Federal system, the citizens of the several States have distinctive circumstances and values, and that in many instances it is appropriate for them to apply to themselves rules and principles that reflect these circumstances and values. As Justice Brandeis explained more than 70 years ago, "[i]t is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous state may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country."
Uh Oh: NY Times Shows Their Disdain For The 2nd Amendment : Stop The ACLU says:
[…] the 7th of July, the NY Times loved the Constitution, at least as far as Obama and Co. suing Arizona over their immigration law (which mirrors federal […]

Q: Chrome extension policy error: Refused to execute inline event handler because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive I'm developing a chrome extension to do a simple task, except I have spent most of the time on one line of html code to figure out how to properly give it the correct permissions, I have tried to do it but I do not know what to actually put.
The error I get when trying to run the javascript:

Refused to execute inline event handler because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'self' https://apis.google.com". Either the 'unsafe-inline' keyword, a hash ('sha256-...'), or a nonce ('nonce-...') is required to enable inline execution.

This is what I have attempting to fix the policy error:
<meta http-equiv = "Content-Security-Policy" content="script-src 'self' data: https://apis.google.com 'unsafe-inline' 'sha256-base64EncodedHash'">

I tried putting the content-security-policy in the manifest file, and I tried other content in the code above.
All my code ( I know I should not do this but I do not know what is causing this issue ):

Absent Voices #2: Chasing Echoes: The Perpetrator's Voice in the History of Violence
Double-deck burning in 2011 England Riots. Attribution: By VOA Persian Interview (VOA TV) [Public domain or CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)%5D, via Wikimedia Commons
In the summer of 2011 several English cities witnessed explosions of very public violence. Rioters, for the most part young men, smashed windows, looted shops, set fires and threw stones at the ranks of armoured police who descended on them. Afterwards, most people responded in one of two ways. Right-wing politicians and commentators lined up behind David Cameron to condemn 'mindless violence and thuggery'. On the left, the story was about inequality, unemployment and bad policing. With a few honourable exceptions, nobody asked the rioters.
People who do violent things usually have some sense of why they do them. We might not like their reasoning, but we can't properly understand violence without it. Sticking with the riots as an example, the left-wing narrative clearly has a lot to be said for it, with interpretations backed up by solid data on urban deprivation. But it lacks the voice of the Londoner in his mid-20s who said, 'When no one cares about you you're gonna eventually make them care, you're gonna cause a disturbance.' For him rioting wasn't an instinctive reaction to big structural forces – it was strategic, a sensible thing to do under the circumstances.

Nucleic acids are macromolecules containing hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus. The function of nucleic acids is to store and transmit genetic information (chemical instructions about how living things should form and operate). You will learn much more about nucleic acids in a future unit of study, so this section will be brief.
The monomer units of nucleic acids are called nucleotides. One nucleotide consists of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitogen base.
Two examples of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Each of these macromolecules carries all or part of the genetic code for a cell. Each is made up of nucleotides.
Look at the diagram above. Note that there are five possible nitrogenous bases that can create a nucleotide (cytosine, guanine, adenine, uracil, and thymine). There are also two possible sugars – deoxyribose (Deoxyribonucleic Acid or DNA) and ribose (Ribonucleic Acid, or RNA).
It is not visible in the diagram above, but hydrogen bonds hold the bases together at the center of DNA's rungs (where the bright colors meet).
It is also worth mentioning that some modified versions of nucleotides can serve as energy carriers for cells in living things. Two of the most common are ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) and NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), but we'll just call them ATP and NADH for short. These energy carrier molecules unite all organisms on earth because all organisms have to have a way to store and then use energy. Take a look at ATP below and be sure that you notice its similarities to the nucleotide above.

Olimpijski Komitet Srbije i OTP Banka
OTP Banka 20 godina uz Olimpijski komitet Srbije
Proud sponsor of the Olympic Committee of Serbia
In the segment of sponsorships, OTP bank holds an unbroken "state record" so far!
OTP bank is one of the biggest sponsors and the official bank of the Olympic Committee of Serbia for the fifth Olympic cycle. This cooperation is by far the longest sponsorship in Serbian sport and is often an example of fruitful, inspiring and successful cooperation between the business sector and sports institutions.
The topic of "Olympism" is extremely important for us because we believe that nurturing values such as "fair play", perseverance, focus, discipline, focus on success – are key prerequisites for the development of a prosperous, healthy and sustainable society as a whole. We strive to nurture these values in our daily operations.
We look forward to showing that the story of the importance of sport, activism, responsibility and connecting all actors in society through one noble and generally good idea is a possible and inspiring story.
We are still on that path even stronger, and this year is especially important for us because of the upcoming the Olympic Games in Tokyo!
Together to Tokyo
The Olympic Games are one of the most important sporting events globally, when the strengths of the best athletes in the world are measured!
The medals from the Olympic Games somehow have a special shine and remain remembered for all times, because playing for the national team and being the best representative of a country carries great responsibility and implies great dedication and sacrifice.
On that path, this year as well, OTP bank provides strong support to our best athletes before the Olympic Games in Tokyo. As part of a promotional campaign dedicated to this great sporting event, but above all to our champions, we have created videos and interviews in which some of our best athletes show and talk about what it means to be the best and how much strength and courage it takes to travel to Tokyo.
You will surely be inspired!

Circle of support - Who are you cheering for
Serbian Olympians said: Thank you very much, you are our heroes!
Although they have been preparing for the Olympic Games in Tokyo for years, our Olympians will have to wait another year – the Games have been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic for 2021. In the combat against the virus, our medical workers have become true heroes, but also salesmen, teachers, farmers … all those who do their jobs every day for the benefit of all of us.
In the midst of the pandemic, during the day when everything was closed, when sports competitions were canceled, the need for support was greater than ever, which resulted in the campaign of Vojvodjanska banka and the Olympic Committee of Serbia "Circle of Support" with messages from athletes who encourage each other and the whole community, emphasizing unity and solidarity.
"When the state of emergency was declared in our country, we were all already preparing for Tokyo and we did not even dream that the Games for which we had been preparing for a long time would be cancelled. The seriousness of the situation pointed out to us the importance of unification in order to achieve the goal through team efforts and provide support to those who need it the most. We realized that the encouragement that was otherwise sent to us, is now needed by someone else, "said taekwondo fighter Tijana Bogdanović.
"In uncertain moments and defeats, the audience does not deny support, but cheers louder, encourages and motivates us to continue the game, reverse the result and take the victory. Even sitting at home, we feel that Olympic, team spirit and we support all those who stand on the first line of defence. Thank you for everything they have done in the past period, "said judoka Nemanja Majdov.
The "Circle of Support" campaign dedicated to supporting the community was declared the best sports sponsorship project in Serbia in 2020 in the selection of the regional organization SPORTO.
In this way, OTP bank also achieved a place in the international competition, entering the competition for the prestigious "Best of Europe" award, which is awarded every year in London by the European Sponsorship Association (ESA).
See how Serbian Olympians - taekwondo fighter Tijana Bogdanovic, rower Milos Vasic, athlete Mihail Dudas, judoists Nemanja Majdov and Aleksandar Kukolj, kayaker Milica Starovic, swimmer Caba Siladji, wrestler Davor Stefanek and shooter Zorana Arunovic, paid tribute to all the real heroes of the crisis in the video campaign of the Olympic Committee of Serbia and OTP banka "Who are you cheering for"
And what does "Olympism" mean to you
In order to support young non-established artists at the beginning of their professional development, we hame established cooperation with the Metropolitan University of Belgrade and invited graphic design students in their final years to share with us their creative experience of "Olympism" with all that it can mean to them.
From the most successful works, and it was not easy to make such a choice, we created a set of official promotional material of the bank in the upcoming Olympic year. We thank all participants for their wonderful contribution so that the theme of "Olympism" gets new, original and creative impressions and concrete visual solutions. Enjoy the gallery of the most successful works!

An Olympian among us
Our dear colleague Branislav Stojanović, employed in the branch in Kikinda, was the representative of Serbia at the Olympic Games in Sydney, in 2000 in the relay competition (4x400m).
The experience of a top athlete is in itself unique, rare and valuable in everything. In the conversation with Branislav that we share with you, we discovered what it means to be a top athlete and how much this experience has enriched him and influenced other segments of his life.
Interview Branislav Stojanović
Where we were with our best athletes
We gladly remember where we were all together with our best athletes! Memories are important because they remind us how many great moments are behind us, how important the duration is, how much the cooperation between Vojvođanska banka and the Olympic Committee of Serbia has improved, how much we have grown as partners and how much more is ahead of us.

In addition to the biggest Olympic sporting events, we have supported our athletes at a number of smaller but equally important sporting events.
Every time, with all our hearts, we cheered with all our might!
Promotion of sports in the local community
In the field of promotion of sports and sports values in the local community, we have done a lot with joint efforts with the Olympic Committee of Serbia, but also with the support of numerous local governments.
Since 2009, we have organized numerous competitions for elementary school students from many cities in the country on the topic of knowledge about sports, environmental protection, sports skills, all within the manifestation "Olympic Trainings". Children often had the opportunity to hang out with our best athletes and hear from them how to live healthily and what sportsmanship means.
Vojvođanska banka donated the missing sports equipment to the winning schools to improve the teaching of physical education.
We remember with pleasure that we organized the "Olympic Carnival" in the Olympic 2016, with the desire to evoke the atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro, which is known for its carnival atmosphere, and which hosted the Olympic Games that year.

Become a part of the Olympic family
As the official sponsor of the Olympic Committee of Serbia in 2011 we created a unique Visa Olympic co-branding credit payment card and in 2018 the Visa Gold Olympic debit card.
Our Olympic credit card has been presented internationally several times and awarded as the best example of cooperation between the banking sector and sports.
VISA, Vojvođanska banka and the Olympic Committee of Serbia created these cards together, with a lot of enthusiasm and love, and with a strong belief that supporting sports means supporting a healthy and prosperous society as a whole.
Individual users of Olympic cards themselves become donors in some way, because from each of their transactions, at the expense of the Bank, a part of funds is allocated to the fund for investing in sports. In addition to the above, VISA Olympic card users can get additional discounts and benefits.
OTP bank, as one of the biggest sponsors of the Olympic Committee of Serbia, organized numerous campaigns dedicated to sports, and for some of them we won awards that mean a lot to us!
The campaign of OTP bank and the Olympic Committee of Serbia for supporting the social community, entitled "Circle of Support", was declared the best sports sponsorship project in Serbia in 2020 in the selection of the regional organization SPORTO. It is a project that arose in the midst of the pandemic, during days when everything was closed, when the Olympic Games were cancelled, just like many other sports competitions. The need for support was greater than ever, which resulted in a campaign with messages from athletes who encourage each other and the entire community, emphasizing unity and solidarity. A circle of support was created that is recognized at the level of entire Southeast Europe. In this way, OTP bank also achieved a place in the international competition, entering the competition for the prestigious "Best of Europe" award, which is presented every year in London by the European Sponsorship Association (ESA). OTP bank, as the only representative from Serbia, will present the "Circle of Support" campaign to the entire Europe, where our most successful athletes are in the lead role – taekwondo fighter Tijana Bogdanović, judoist Nemanja Majdov, kayaker Milica Starović, swimmer Čaba Silađi, shooter Zorana Arunović, judoist Aleksandar Kukolj, swimmer Anja Crevar, wrestler Davor Štefanek, athlete Mihail Dudash, rower Miloš Vasić, and others.
The integrated "Countdown" campaign by which OTP bank supported the Serbian Olympic team in winning four medals at the Olympic Games in London (2012) was awarded as the most successful sports promotional action from Serbia, winning third place at the prestigious regional competition "Sporto" in Portoroz.
In 2016, for the campaign "We are a team! Rio 2016 Olympic Card", we won third place in the sponsorship category among representatives of companies from other countries, as well as the SPORTO award for the best sponsorship project in Serbia. This project was also nominated by the European Sponsorship Association in the "Best of Europe" category (2016 ESA Excellence Awards
