It's no secret that I LOVE yoga clothes. Yoga clothes make up the vast majority of my wardrobe and since I left my office job behind, I pretty much wear yoga pants all the darn time. I spend quite a bit (actually an embarrassing amount) of time trolling the internet looking for new and interesting activewear clothing lines. So when Katie at Lineagewear, a local company based right here in NYC, offered to send me a pair of her beautiful leggings to try, I pretty much shrieked with joy and did a little happy dance around my bedroom.
I had been eying Lineagewear leggings on Instagram and there were several things that made them standout from the vast array of other clothing companies advertising there. First, the fabrics and patterns were beautiful – bold without being obnoxious, and it seemed like they looked good on pretty much everyone. Second, I noticed that people of all different body types were modeling the leggings and further investigation revealed that Katie was offering leggings from sizes XS-3X, with no differentiation in price or availability of fabrics and patterns. You guys – that's special. I don't know if people realize how rare that is…so often plus sizes are relegated to limited patterns and colors or the upcharge is so outrageous, it's ludicrous. And, as much as I love companies that cater exclusively to plus sizes, I am so happy that Lineagewear is showing that you can offer a product across a large range of sizes that's awesome for everyone. I hope that other companies will follow that example.
So let's talk about the leggings…they're pretty fantastic.
If you're going to have #bestleggingsever as your company tag line/hashtag, then you better back up that rather bold statement with an awesome product, right? These leggings are indeed awesome – so awesome in fact, that I did something that I have never done before. After I received my free pair of leggings from Katie, I ponied up my own cash to buy another pair. They fit like a glove due to the contoured seaming and I especially appreciate the high waist, which keeps everything where it's supposed to be and I don't have to worry about anything hanging out that I don't want to when I practice. I receive so many compliments when I wear both pairs of leggings and they feel great! Plus in a sea of black and grey spandex, it's really fun to wear something different!!
It's super fun and especially nice during the chilly winter months – I can pretend I'm amidst the palm trees on the beach somewhere!
Oh man, these are so pretty and bright. I love them – you'll never lose me! Haha.
Costumes have to stand up to the rigors of sweaty performers abusing the heck out of their costumes for 8 shows a week, with laundering in between each show. They are completely bespoke, are fitted multiple times along the way, and have to be WAY sturdier than regular clothing. We mention this to highlight the fact that Katie knows what it takes to make a high quality pair of leggings. A cute print is not enough- it has to stay put in downward dog, or during that 5k, or while you're scaling that mountain.
Our leggings are handmade by real people in New York City's renowned Fashion District. Each fabric is locally sourced and hand selected by the owner to ensure quality. Every step of the process is American made, with an emphasis on a small carbon footprint. Wear your Lineagewear knowing that they are ONLY made with good juju!
I can't wait to get more leggings from Lineagewear and I am so excited to be able to give you guys a discount should you want some leggings of your very own. Use code: supportiveyoga for 15% off!!
*Disclaimer: Katie sent me a pair of leggings to try free of charge. All opinions are my own.

Tallink to develop port at Tallinn's iconic Linnahall ({{contentCtrl.commentsTotal}})
{{1582715760000 | amCalendar}} Updated: {{1582718520000 | amCalendar}}

Shipping line Tallink is to develop the iconic Linnahall in Tallinn, at an estimated cost of €300 million, with a passenger harbor planned as well as a conference center, concert hall, hotel and shopping center.
Tallink Grupp AS is to ink a deal with Tallinn City Government, ERR's online news in Estonian reports, together with private investment group Infortar AS, which is part owner of Tallink Grupp.
"The Linnahall is not only a valuable historic building, but also the name of a major project," said Tallinn mayor Mihhail Kõlvart on Wednesday, also outlining the various projects planned at the site.
Kõlvart added that talks between Tallink and the City of Tallinn had started last year, adding that further analysis is needed.
"We have a clear understanding that this is no longer a theoretical concept; the partners have a strong desire to invest and develop the project," Kõlvart said, speaking at a press conference Wednesday lunchtime, where he appeared with Tallink chief Paavo Nõgene, and Ain Hanschmidt of Infortar.
The City of Tallinn will hold a 34 percent stake, with Tallink and Infortar together holding 32 percent, under the plans, Kõlvart said.
""Tallinn will only be investing in the land; financially the city has a symbolic stake of €340,000," Kõlvart went on.
The total estimated project cost is approximately €300 million, according to a Tallink press release.
Paavo Nõgene added his company has a clear vision on how to manage the development.
"The goal is to reconstruct the Linnahall's concert hall in building a 5,000-seat multi-functional conference and concert hall, and to add smaller conference rooms. This can be done sensibly, so as not to require a public grant in the future," said Nõgene, adding that the numbers of visitors, projected at over 10 million, paying off the development.
Underground traffic solutions might also be used to alleviate the already-busy volumes in the area, Kõlvart said.
"This is the problem right now - the traffic management part of this project. There aren't many options, and the traffic has to go underground," he said, noting that a tunnel would take road traffic from the Linnahall area as far as was possible to Ahtri street nearby.
The Linnahall was opened in 1980 in time for the Moscow Summer Olympics, when Tallinn hosted most water-based events like sailing. Originally called the V.I. Lenin Palace of Culture and Sports, and designed by Estonian architects Raine Karp and Riina Altmäe, the Linnahall is a prime example of later Soviet brutalism-type architecture, mirrored by the National Library building (which had the same architects) on Tõnismägi in the capital.
It gradually fell into a somewhat dilapidated state over the years, though was formerly used as a departure point for the now-defunct Copterline and Linda Line transport links to Helsinki.
The Linnahall was also used as a filming location last summer, for the forthcoming Hollywood thriller "Tenet", directed by Christopher Nolan.
Opera house plans scrapped
Discussions had also been held on potentially converting the site to include an opera theater, under the remit of the National Opera (Rahvusooper).
However, this idea has now been scrapped, Kõlvart said.
"The commission, which was to analyze the construction of an opera houseat the Lonnahall, analyzed different options, which were not very realistic. you can't give it up, "Kõlvart noted.
"Even the theoretical possibility that two concepts (an opera house and conference center together - ed.) could coexist is not viable. Our priority is the conference center, and we cannot give up on that, "Kõlvart noted.
Nonetheless, Kõlvart said, the future of the opera house is equally important for the City of Tallinn, which is also trying to make its own efforts to find a solution.
"The will continues to exist and as much as the city can suppor itt, we will support it, but not financially," said the mayor.
The culture ministry estimated last autumn that this project would cost €160-170 million.

Q: Embedding sounds in as3/flash without any loss of quality? I've looked everywhere online for a solution to this problem with no avail.  I've also check this site's extensive Q+A listing for some kind of solution, but still nothing.  I've decided, with much hesitation, to pose the question my self, so here we go.
I'm creating an as3/flash game, and am currently working with sounds loaded via URL Requests:
public var mySound:Sound = new Sound();

then in the init():
mySound.load(new URLRequest("pathToFile/soundFileName.mp3"));

then of course, playing the sound:
mySound.play();

Now, of course doing it like this, they do not embed in the SWF upon export.  I've tried bringing the sounds into the library and giving them as3 linkage and class names, and yes this worked, but it degraded the quality of the sounds IMMENSELY!  How do I get around the degradation of the sound quality.
I've seen similar questions, but none seem to talk about the complete loss of quality when importing them into the library and using the as3 linkage/class method, so that brought me here.
I'm posing the question to the community of Stack Overflow, please help, any advice at all would be much appreciated.
To be clear, my question is: How do I embed the sounds into the SWF upon export and avoid any loss of sound quality?

A: There is a setting in FLash CS that controls sound quality, I remember seeing that. Check sound properties in the library and publishing settings of your project for them. –  Vesper

A: SoundTransform class can be used by...
var volumeAdjust:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
volumeAdjust.volume = .6;
volumeAdjust.pan = 0;

you can check other properties of this class, If you are more interested you can go for Microphone and MicEnhanceOption.

Empowering Change in an Unempowered Environment
Part 2: Matching Your Organizational Maturity Level to Your Approach for Change
In the May issue of News for a Change, three levels of organizational maturity were described. In this issue we will review how an organization's approach to change relates to its maturity level.
As you leave work today, you see a man who has collapsed on the sidewalk, clutching his chest. Would you perform bypass surgery; administer CPR; or explain how paying better attention to his stress level, exercise program, and dietary habits could have prevented this unfortunate situation?
The most logical choice would be to administer CPR. The patient needs immediate intervention to help him survive the attack. The other options are appropriate for follow-up activities and are almost certainly necessary for a full recovery, but obviously, suggesting aerobic exercise to a patient in the middle of a heart attack would be ridiculous based on his life-threatening needs.
Similarly, public-sector organizations today are feeling the pain and stress of shifting to a quality- and customer-focused culture. Unfortunately, many groups are experiencing disappointing results because of a mismatch between their approach to improvement and their organization's maturity level. Just as the level and type of medical treatment must be geared toward the needs of the patient, the approach to improvement and change must be tailored to a group's specific needs and abilities.
About Organizational Maturity
The maturity model recognizes that organizations are at different levels in the areas of vision alignment, management involvement, employee empowerment, customer focus, and process base.
The three levels of organizational maturity—firefighting, emerging, and total commitment—all have unique characteristics and all require different approaches to change.
Three Levels of Readiness
Like the person who collapsed on the sidewalk, the firefighting organization is also struggling for survival. The situation isn't always as serious as being on the doorstep of drastic funding cuts or outright elimination of departments and agencies; but if fundamental changes are not made, the organization is headed for rough times.
Groups in the emerging phase of readiness have progressed from the firefighting mode and are able to determine a general direction for their improvement initiatives. They are operating successfully but have not achieved peak performance.
Finally, an organization at the total commitment level is ready to make a significant investment to change its culture from one of a scrambling, day-to-day view to one of proactivity and vision.
Matching Approach to Readiness
Matching your approach to your organization's readiness level can have a profound impact on the success of your improvement initiative, but what happens when you select an inappropriate approach?
The results can be as disastrous as when a doctor recommends the wrong treatment for an illness. The figure below gives an overview of which approaches work best for each of the three levels of readiness; and, more important, it shows what can happen when the approach and readiness level are mismatched.
Firefighting Organizations
For example, firefighting organizations should focus on basic problem-solving techniques, like analyzing or correcting defects to gain a basic understanding of the situation.
Asking a group like this to work on a focused improvement initiative like root-cause analysis or business self-assessment will only lead to disappointment. People will be too busy with their "real work" to devote the time required to make improvements.
Additionally, deploying companywide mandated programs would have the more severe effect of making employees cynical and resistant to any future initiatives.
Emerging Organizations
Organizations at the emerging level have a basic foundation that allows them to function in a relatively smooth manner.
The best approach for these groups is to select one area to address for improvement, measure its success, and use it as a springboard for improvements in other areas. This also serves as an example to other parts of the organization by showing them a successful approach for implementing improvement activities.
Problem-solving tools, which work best for firefighting organizations, can also be used in the emerging organization as needed to support the focused improvement initiatives. These tools, however, may not allow the organization to advance to its fullest capabilities.
A broad-based approach, on the other hand, may be useful to understand how the focused improvement fits into the larger picture, but it may be too much for the organization to support as its primary focus.
Total Commitment Organizations
Groups at the total commitment level have a very clear sense of vision; have management that is actively involved in supporting change; and have strong employee empowerment, customer focus, and process base.
These organizations are able to initiate broad-based approaches to change, such as deploying the Malcolm Baldrige model as a management framework.
Clearly, selecting problem solving as a primary approach would not fulfill the potential for improvement in an organization at this level of readiness. Similarly, an approach of focused improvement would sell the group's capabilities a bit short. Initiating a collection of coordinated, focused improvement is an excellent way to achieve the organization's broader goals and to help improve overall performance and effectiveness.

Home Entertainment Gully Boy First (1st) Day Box Office Collection: Ranveer-Alia Film Opens Well...
Gully Boy First (1st) Day Box Office Collection: Ranveer-Alia Film Opens Well On Thursday
Gully Boy 1st Day Box Office Collection: The advance bookings have been good and the film should open to double digits on Thursday.
gully boy 12th day collection 12 days guly boy 2nd monday box office report
Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt starrer latest Bollywood movie Gully Boy has hit the screens today, 14th February 2019, i.e., Valentine's Day. Ranveer's last film Simmba was a blockbuster hit at the box office. This flick, too, has registered a good opening occupancy in the morning shows.
It looks like Ranveer has come yet again for a money-making spree over the next few weeks. The Zoya Akhtar directorial is going to make good on its day 1 itself. Ranveer's last movies have been a hit, be it Padmaavat or Simmba. Both the films released in 2018. This time, he has donned a new avatar of Mumbai's Murad, a character loosely based on rapper Divine.
Padmaavat ended the year becoming the highest grosser by collecting over Rs 300 crore. It was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Then, the Rohit Shetty's directorial Simmba minted Rs 250 crore. And now, Ranveer has started the new year (2019) with Gully Boy.
Gully Boy 1st Day Collection
opening Gully Boy first Thursday box office report
It is entirely possible that Gully Boy collection may not be able to touch those heights. It's because the film is a niche based, but it would definitely be able to add as one more hit in the actor's kitty. As per the reports, the film has registered an average occupancy of around 40% in major cities across India as far as the morning shows are concerned.
If the occupancy has been 40 percent in the morning, it will definitely increase as the day proceeds. Some people may have holiday today, being Valentine Day. So, it would definitely not be a regular working day. The advance booking for Gully Boy has been good in the metro cities. So, the film should open in double digits.
As per the expectations, the first day collection of Gully Boy should be in the range of Rs 12 crore to Rs 15 crores. But, speaking of the extended Valentine weekend ahead, it could do wonders. So, it's clear that the film will pick up pace in the coming days. And if it gets the positive word of mouth, it would be awesome for the film.
It's the first time when Ranveer and Alia have shared the on-screen space together. Alia Bhatt has set herself as a versatile actress with her last films like Raazi and Udta Punjab. Both the young stars have increased the star power of the film.
Gully Boy 1st Day Box Office Collection – Rs 14 cr (early estimates)
Gully Boy also marks the Bollywood debut of Siddhant Chaturvedi. He has played the role of a young cricketer battling against corruption around the sport in Amazon Prime Original- Inside Edge.
It's already known that Gully Boy's music has already become a hit. There is no competition for the film at the box office. It is another good news for it. Uri has started to show signs of slowing down. There has been no other big release of past making a massive impact.
But, Gully Boy will soon face competition from Total Dhamaal which is going to release on February 22.

Q: Spearman correlation In correlation, suppose for example we hypothesize that the use of simple words in people with dementia increases over time and a correlation test revealed that this was not true: it decreased over time. Can I conclude with something like "this means that people with dementia use more complex words over time"? If not what test should I use to find if the alternative explanation is right?

A: Probably not. An extremely important rule of stats is that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Failure to prove your main hypothesis does not in any way signal statistical evidence in favour of the alternative hypothesis.
A few things:
1) Can we really assume from your analytical design and raw data that all non-simple utterances by your people with dementia are "complex" words? How did you handle the coding if for instance the dementia sufferer said something which is not transcribable, i.e. that sounded like just a series of noises, or another language?
2) Assuming your dataset does already code for simple v complex words v unintelligentible sounds or any other important categories, it would be possible to run the same Spearman correlation test on the % coded as "complex" to see if there is an association over time. However, Spearman may not be the best test for re-analysed data depending on how the analysis is grouped/categorised, how many time periods were observed, and sample size. Without more detail on how your data are cut into quantities and perhaps something about the shapes of your distributions, we can't say which of several tests is most appropriate.
Furthermore, you need to carefully make clear in your reporting irrespective of the test used that this is post-hoc testing secondary to the primary outcome, and was NOT the hypothesis of the initial study. It is probably appropriate to do a Bonferroni correction, i.e. divide your significant p-value by the number of hypotheses you are testing. So if you were targeting p<0.05 and you are now testing 2 rather than 1 hypothesis, really you should only take a finding of p<0.025 as significant for either hypothesis. p<0.167 for 3 hypotheses, p<0.0625 for 4 hypotheses, and so on. This is a grey area with a slippery slope to p-hacking when done post hoc, and the soundest way to deal with your finding would be to run an entirely new study with a new group of people as independent replication of an interesting secondary finding.
3) It's important to contextualise the broader relevance of your findings. Are you for instance planning to suggest these results can justify building a predictive tool for dementia progression based on speech patterns? As you probably know, semantic context is usually more important to logical meaning than ratios of simple v. complex words used. So % simple v. complex words might pick up people developing dementia, but it might also pick up a lot of false positives, eg people who develop a hobby in scientific or philosophical areas as they get older. Does your dataset as currently analysed have any way of distinguishing between logical and illogical syntax/grammar, irrespective of word choice? If not, be careful on over-interpreting any simple numerical findings.


Claire Diaz-Ortiz's book, The Present Principle, reads somewhat like Einstein's theory of special relativity. Though an unfair comparison, what's true of Einstein's E=mc2 is true of Claire's book: there's a lot of potential represented in a small space.
as an acronym of how to "proactively organize" that time.
The Present Principle is about giving you a guiding framework for establishing a positive morning ritual that sets your day in the direction you want it to go. By waking in the mornings, and following seven simple steps to Pray, Read, Express, Schedule, Exercise, Nourish, and Track, you will be better able to make your day everything you want it to be (PDF edition, page 32).
Here's a great takeaway from the book . . .
I like the idea of the importance of scheduling a daily time to take care of yourself. I don't mean a time of selfishness, but a time of responsible self-maintenance that includes good input and honest evaluation. For me (like Claire Diaz-Ortiz), that time occurs by reading the Bible and praying in order to realign my priorities with God's. That takes a daily renewal of the mind.
In the (PDF) edition of the book I read, a number of the hyperlinks were broken. Especially disappointing was not being able to watch the "Marcel the Shell" video that is "worth the three minutes of my life" and is Claire's favorite video of the millennium. Oh well.
The Present Principle gives excellent, general advice that works well for singles or marrieds without children. I guess it could work for parents, given days of exception. That is, once you throw kids in the mix, the expectation of a consistent morning routine is pretty well shot.
The book is short. That's good, because it allows you to grasp the skeleton of the PRESENT Principle in a single sitting. On the other hand, there is plenty of reason to put meat on the bones and expand each chapter beyond simple principles. Claire Diaz-Ortiz is a good, creative writer who would benefit us all by fleshing out more what she has packed in her little tome. This would both inspire the reader and illustrate what living the principles looks like.

2021 U.S. Mint Proof Set
Get an Email when it's available
Coins used in daily commerce are often taken for granted. Their beauty, historical significance, or otherwise noteworthy attributes are typically lost on those who use them for vending machines, washing machines, or other mundane exchanges. Proof Sets give the coins their due and are often the cornerstones of collections.
These annual sets include proof examples of each of the coins struck for circulation. Struck on specially selected, highly polished planchets, these coins have sharper detail and mirror-like surfaces, enabling collectors to appreciate designs they may otherwise overlook.
While the United States Mint has not yet revealed the exact details of what will be included in the 2021 sets, traditionally Proof Sets have included a Lincoln Cent, a Jefferson Nickel, a Roosevelt Dime, examples of the America the Beautiful Quarters issued in a given year (just one is being released in 2021!), a Kennedy Half Dollar, and a Sacagawea Dollar.
This page will be updated with more information as it becomes available.
A Brief History of the United States Mint Proof Set
United States Mint Sets were first issued in 1936 in response to collector demand. Sets issued through 1972 included a half dollar, a quarter, a dime, a nickel, and a penny. Proof sets were not struck from 1965-1967 when the U.S. Mint produced special Mint Sets in their stead. A dollar coin was added in 1973, only to be removed in 1982. With the introduction of coins from the State Quarters Program, sets expanded considerably in 1999. Consisting of 18 coins, the 2009 set is the largest to date.
Tentative 2021 U.S. Mint Proof Set Designs
While the United States Mint has not yet revealed the exact details of what will be included in the 2021 Proof Sets, collectors will be familiar with ten of the designs that appear on the coins in this set. Each coin's obverse bears a portrait of the person for whom it is named, as the America the Beautiful Quarter is also a Washington Quarter. The Sacagawea Dollar obverse also includes her son, Jean-Baptiste, whom Sacagawea carries on her back. The reverses of four coins should all bear their traditional designs, including the Lincoln Memorial (penny), Monticello (nickel), a torch between two branches (dime), and a modified Presidential Seal (half dollar).
Two coins in the set will bear new designs. Alabama's entry in the America the Beautiful Series features the Tuskegee Airman National Historic Site. The image shows a pilot putting on his flight cap as two P-51 Mustangs fly overhead. The Sacagawea Dollar's reverse will bear a design that honors the service of Native Americans in the United States armed forces.
In both 2019 and 2020, the United States Mint shook up the annual Proof and Mint Set releases by including the first-ever Lincoln Pennies and Jefferson Nickels that were struck at the West Point Mint and that bore its "W" mint mark. A different finish was released in the Proof, Mint, and Uncirculated sets both years. It remains unclear if this tradition will continue in 2021.
More information will be added to this page as it becomes available, so keep checking back to stay updated on the latest updates about the 2021 United States Mint Proof Set!
When will the 2021 U.S. Mint Proof Set be available?
The 2021 U.S. Mint Proof Set will be available in March of 2021.
Don't forget to sign up above to be among the first to be notified when the 2021 Proof Set becomes available for purchase from GovMint.com!

Nancy A Michaelson
Carefree, AZ resident Nancy A Michaelson has always been an artist. As a child her artistic expression came through observation. She'd often ask her dad to stop the car so she could breathe in a perfect sunset, a field of grass, water tumbling over rocks in a brook.
She began practicing art through attending art workshops, then majoring in Art at a Tech High School, went on to receive a BS in Art Education, and was blessed to study with Jack Beal in Italy, to name a few.
Michaelson has won numerous juried competitions across the nation, plus had her own one-person shows, and been a gallery owner. In her Curriculum Vitae are: cover artist for the 'Hidden in the Hills' Art Catalogue in 2006, the 1st place winner of the 'Ann Arbor Women Artists Group' represented in the 'Ann Arbor Art Show' in 1999, and she was asked to be represented with 2 pages of Selected Works in the 100th celebration issue of 'American Art Collector' in 2014.
Of all her artistic experiences, she considers the largest influences the prestigious position of "Artist in Residence" at the Mammoth Cave National Park in 1999, and leading to that, a 1996 trip to Italy to study Italian Renaissance Masters.
Michaelson's work reflects the world around her: desert landscapes, doorways peeking to the outside, mantles full of treasures, cereal boxes and common everyday items; made more brilliant, more eye-catching, more delicious by her color choices and composition.
For the August Second Saturday Art Walk, Michaelson has brought up The Desert as my Sanctuary, which won 1st place at the 2007 Scottsdale, Carefree, Cave Creek 1st Annual Art And Film Festival. Of this piece, the artist wrote:
"I pondered… what can I say with this painting that would make it not only tell my feelings about sitting there in that remote and beautiful place where I encounter the Creator, but also would illustrate a temple like feeling with a composition done in a simple, unusual and graphic way, that would catch the viewer off guard, and draw them to the painting to perhaps see the contentment, safety, and peace I feel in that place?... I could hardly wait to include the bird, which is carrying a red string (which to me symbolizes life).... As the Ravens, in the story of Elijah in the desert, were sent to feed Elijah in the Great Famine."
Nancy will be presenting her work on both August 10th for Second Saturday Art Walk, 2-6pm, and August 18th for Sanctuary Sunday, 3-6pm.

Interview with Michael Smith, co-author of "Flickering Empire"
"A lot of innovations came out of Chicago. There were a lot of 'famous firsts' for the American film industry and for movies as an art form—including the first pseudo-documentaries, the first two-reeler, the first slapstick comedy to feature a 'pie-in-the-face-gag….'"—Michael Glover Smith
The following is part 1 of our interview with Michael Glover Smith, co-author of Flickering Empire: How Chicago Invented the U.S. Film Industry:
Question: Why does Chicago get left out of the history of early cinema in America?
Michael Glover Smith: The story of American film production begins in New York and New Jersey (where Thomas Edison was headquartered) in the late 19th century. Hollywood didn't really become the nation's film-producing capital until about 1915. All official histories are somewhat reductive and I think it's been convenient for scholars and historians to just skip over the story of Chicago's contributions to film history, which mainly occurred in in the late 1900s and early 1910s. Even though the contributions of Chicago filmmakers were enormous by any objective standard, it was a fairly narrow window of time when the film industry in Chicago was at its peak and, also, the vast majority of Chicago-made films of that era no longer exist. They've been destroyed or lost and it's never been fashionable to write about films that people can't see.
Q: How does Chicago's role in the development change the way we think about the history of movies in America?
MGS: I think a lot of innovations came out of Chicago. There were a lot of "famous firsts" for the American film industry and for movies as an art form—including the first pseudo-documentaries, the first two-reeler, the first slapstick comedy to feature a "pie-in-the-face-gag," the first films made by African-American directors, etc. We give a rundown in the introduction to the book. It's entirely possible that movies as we now know them would look very different if not for the contributions of studios like Essanay and Selig-Polyscope and also the independent filmmakers (especially the aforementioned black directors).
Q: What was the role of the 1893 Columbia Exhibit in popularizing film in Chicago and the rest of the country?
MGS: The World's Fair of 1893 had an enormous influence on the developing film industry. There were several important prototypical movie-exhibition devices that premiered there—including Eadweard Muybridge's Zoopraxiscope and Otto Anschutz's Tachyscope. A lot of the early Chicago filmmakers went to the Fair and were inspired to start making films based on what they saw.
Q: Your book provides a somewhat unflattering view of Edison. His role in the development of film is well known but how does your book change our perspective on Edison's contribution?
MGS: At the time of his death, Edison was widely credited as being the man who "invented movies." In the 80+ years since then, many scholars have come along and done invaluable research in order to give the other early film pioneers their due. If anything, Edison is seen today as almost a villain of history—frequently pitted against the visionary genius Nikola Tesla, his former employee (who, of course, was broke and forgotten at the time of his own death). Edison's positive contributions to the cinema are actually not very well-known today. He made sure, for instance, that all of the movie theaters that were licensed to show his movies had fire insurance, which was considered a remarkably progressive move in the early 20th century. But he was also hogging patents and filing lawsuits left and right. He was a complex guy and I think our book offers a balanced portrait.
Q: Another famous person who is featured in your book is Charlie Chaplin. What did Chicago have to do with his rise to stardom?
MGS: Chaplin's tenure at Essanay was a crucial stepping stone in his career. He had written, directed and starred in films for Keystone Studios in Los Angeles in 1914 but was lured to Chicago by Essanay at the end of the year because they offered him "carte blanche" to do what he wanted. The only film he actually made in Chicago was His New Job, his first film for Essanay. It's a very funny slapstick comedy but I also think it's more mature from a filmmaking standpoint than what he had done at Keystone. There are some elegant tracking shots in it and there's a great moment that combines humor and pathos (which would later become his trademark) where his "Little Tramp" character pleads for his leading lady not to leave him. After making His New Job, Chaplin fulfilled the rest of his Essanay contract at the company's studio in Niles, California. He thought Chicago was "too damn cold."

Mozart's childhood travels had left him with a hunger for making his mark in more cosmopolitan circles than offered in his native city of Salzburg. His father's ambitions for him played no small part in this. We therefore tend to associate his time in Salzburg with a general discontentment, but some of this association is arguably misplaced. He formally entered the employment of the Archbishop of Salzburg, Count Colloredo, in 1773, at the age of seventeen. He was appointed Konzertmeister, and the post allowed him time and space to hone his craft as a composer. The next few years saw an outpouring of compositions, including a range of chamber and orchestral works. His first "mature" symphonies date from this time (including the first of the two G-Minor symphonies, no. 25, which we will be performing later this season [The Hunt: Mozart and Haydn, April 25–30, 2019]). His very first piano concertos appeared, as did his first concerto for a wind instrument, the delightful Concerto for bassoon in B-flat Major, presumed to have been written for one of the bassoonists at the Salzburg court. Many have noted that the young Mozart perfectly captured the instrument's inherent qualities, an early example of his tremendous skill at writing for winds as witnessed in his later symphonies and operas.
The cadenzas performed by Elisa Citterio in this program have been written by her brother, the composer Carlo Citterio.
We precede the concerto performances with a short Symphony written at the same time. The first two movements formed the Overture to the Italian comic opera La finta giardiniera, commissioned for the Munich Opera and premiered in January 1775. Shortly after returning to Salzburg, Mozart added a Finale to create a stand-alone work, and it is a spirited little piece, befitting the comedy of disguise and mistaken identity which inspired it.
If Mozart's fortunes looked bright during his first years in Vienna, they indeed soon turned. By 1788 Mozart was in serious debt, as attested by a series of heartrending letters to his fellow Mason, Michael Puchberg, pleading for money. In all, Puchberg lent Mozart 1,415 gulden, a significant sum. His wife Constanze's health was suffering from the strain of repeated pregnancies, and on June 29 the Mozarts' fourth child, Theresia, died at the age of six months.
Three days earlier Mozart had completed Symphony no. 39 in E-Flat Major. Symphony no. 40 in G Minor followed four weeks later, and Symphony no. 41 in C Major two weeks after that. They were to be his last three symphonies, and were apparently composed neither on commission, nor with any concrete plans for performance. It is possible that Mozart directed performances of the works during his travels to Prague, Dresden, Leipzig, and Berlin, undertaken in search of renewed fame and fortune outside the confines of fickle Vienna.
The three symphonies are remarkable works, widely contrasting, and together a comprehensive summary of the classical symphony. Of the three, the one that has drawn the most attention is the arresting Symphony no. 40. In 1793, two years after Mozart's death, it was advertised by the Viennese music dealer Johann Traeg as "one of the last and most beautiful of this master." The work was widely known and performed, and was very influential. The Mozart scholar Neal Zaslaw suggests that its essence can be heard again in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, and Bruckner symphonies. The slow movement is quoted by Haydn in his oratorio The Seasons. The quotation appears in the aria where winter is compared to old age, following the words "exhausted is the summer's strength" — Haydn's gesture a commemoration of the loss of his younger colleague as well as a reflection of the approaching end of his own career. Schubert made a copy of the Minuet and used it as a model for the G-Minor Minuet of his Fifth Symphony.
Tafelmusik first performed Symphony 40 in 2001 at the Klang und Raum Festival in Irsee, Germany, conducted by Bruno Weil, and again on tours of the US and Europe the following season. This season marks our third performances of the symphony here in Toronto.

J.S. Bach: The Circle of Creation is a celebration of the genius of Johann Sebastian Bach, with an emphasis on the instrumental music which he created for his family, his students, and his colleagues. Using words and images, the performance also honours the artisans and tradespeople whose labor and expertise made the performances of Bach's music possible, both in his own time and in the 21st century.
The project was born in June of 2014, when the members of Tafelmusik were invited to live in the city of Leipzig for two weeks as orchestra-in-residence at the city's famous annual Bach Festival. Immersed in the atmosphere of the composer's hometown, we were able to explore the craft of Bach's own artisans under the guidance of our generous partners and advisors at the Bach Museum, who have provided many of the images for the project.
Since that time, the orchestra has taken the concert across Canada and the US, and to South Korea and China. Over years of this kind of touring, there is tremendous artistic growth in the performers' understanding of the music and in a deepening rapport amongst themselves and with the actor on stage. Before we embark on a seven-city tour of Australia this May, we wanted to share with our Toronto audience the version which concertgoers on the other side of the world will experience.
Centuries-old methods are still used today for the making of historical strings for period instruments. Because the guild members of early modern Europe were obliged to guard their trade secrets, modern makers have had to be detectives, using forensic evidence from scraps of old strings and sources such as Diderot's eighteenth-century encyclopedia to determine the materials and techniques that would have been used for Bach's instruments.
The images seen in this concert portray artisans from Bach's time as well as modern instrument builders who use historical techniques to create instruments for the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra. Film footage and still photographs created specially for this performance feature Toronto builder and restorer Quentin Playfair, who made a cello inspired by an instrument from the Stradivarius workshop in 1726; English harpsichord and string maker Malcolm Rose; American oboe maker Harry vas Dias; German bassoon maker Peter Wolf; Toronto bow maker Stephen Marvin; and the artisans of the Aquila String factory in Italy.
Much of the music on the program is typical of the works which would have been performed at Zimmerman's Coffeehouse in the center of Leipzig. In 1695, the merchants' guild of Leipzig had petitioned the town council for "street lanterns that would, as in Vienna and Berlin, burn all night to prevent incessant nocturnal crime." On Christmas Eve of 1701, 700 oil-fuelled streetlights were installed in the city, making it safe for the first time for all citizens to walk freely at night, transforming coffeehouses into venues for recreation and music.

But the most crucial and also the most critical virtue to have when playing poker is patience. It's not necessary to play every hand. By no means decide impulsively. Poker is a game of strategy and talent, and that means you have to know the best time for every thing.

"Set during World War One, The Cove is a novel that speaks intimately to today's politics. Beautifully written, tough, raw, uncompromising, entirely new. Ron Rash is a writer's writer who writes for others."
"Ron Rash is a writer of both the darkly beautiful and the sadly true; The Cove solidifies his reputation as one of our very finest novelists."
—Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls
Here is a magnificent tale that captures the wondrous beauty of nature and love—and the darkness of superstition and fear—from one of America's most exciting contemporary novelists. With The Cove, Ron Rash, author of the acclaimed New York Times bestseller Serena, returns to the Appalachian milieu he has previously so memorably evoked. A two-time O. Henry Prize winner for his short fiction—and recipient of the 2010 Frank O'Connor International Story Award and the 2010 SIBA Book Award for his story collection Burning Bright—Rash can expect more honors for The Cove, a novel that brilliantly explores often dangerous notions of patriotism during wartime. This story of a love affair doomed in the rising turmoil of WWI resonates powerfully in today's world.
"A gently beautiful new novel…Rash, a native of Appalachia, has written a southern tragedy, with a self-consciously Shakespearean structure and economy…. [A] powerful novel, with some of the mysterious moral weight of Carson McCullers, along with a musical voice that belongs to Rash alone." - USA Today
"This book ranks among the best backwoods fiction since 2006's Winter's Bone.... [A] gripping novel…[not] just an elegant work of literary fiction, written in a voice that's hauntingly simple and Southern; it's also a riveting mystery." - Entertainment Weekly, Grade: A
"Rash is particularly good at capturing the hazy space where otherworldly phantoms mingle with plain old human meanness…Rash never lays down a dull or clunky line…at the very end…these pages ignite, and suddenly we're racing through a conflagration of violence that no one seems able to control except Rash." - Washington Post
"In Rash's skilled hands, even farm chores take on a meditative beauty." - People
"Mr. Rash's writing is so richly atmospheric…[he] can make words take wing…. A breathless sequence of events lead the book to its devastating final sentence. And that sentence affirms Mr. Rash's reputation for writerly miracles." - Janet Maslin, New York Times
"[B]eautifully crafted…In [the cove's] story, we hear the unique voice of a region made all the more poignant for how few will ever hear it exactly this way again." - Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Rash masterfully poises suspense elements and gives full reign to other strengths: language, awe, symbolism, cast of characters and mountain knowledge…. It's a book you could read again to savor the writing. Rash has found a subject that compellingly represents his vision—beauty shadowed by foreboding; and he's made it symphonic." - Asheville Citizen-Times
"Lonely young woman meets mysterious stranger. What might have been trite and formulaic is anything but in Rash's fifth novel, a dark tale of Appalachian superstition and jingoism so good it gives you chills… Even better than the bestselling Serena (2008), for here Rash has elevated melodrama to tragedy." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Rash effortlessly summons the rugged Appalachian landscape as well as the small-mindedness and xenophobia of a country in the grip of patriotic fervor, drawing striking parallels to the heated political rhetoric of today. A powerful novel that skillfully overlays its tragic love story with pointed social commentary." - Booklist (starred review)
"The gripping plot, gothic atmosphere, and striking descriptions, in particular of the dismal cove, make this a top-notch story of an unusual place and its fated and fearful denizens." - Publishers Weekly (starred review), Pick of the Week

On-the-run paedophile who fled after being convicted of forcing girl to have sex with dog is found
David Hart committed the 'gravest crimes' against an 11 or 12-year-old girl Swansea Crown Court heard.
By William Watkinson
Updated September 27, 2017 22:44 BST
Police have located a convicted paedophile who committed "some of the gravest sexual offences" against an 11 or 12-year-old girl who had disappeared from hospital.
David Hart failed to show up at Swansea Crown Court for the last day of his trial on Wednesday (27 September) with police treating his disappearance "as a top priority".

The taxi driver from Morriston, Swansea, had been found guilty of 16 horrific sexual offences, including 12 counts of rape, against a child over a 14-year-period.
Hart abused the girl on a live webcam, forced her to have sex with a dog and took her virginity by raping her against a wall.
It has been reported that Hart, who was present during the trial, took himself to Morriston Hospital after becoming ill that morning, although when police visited they could not find him there.
A warrant was issued for the 60-year-old's arrest and South Wales Police appealed for anyone with information and he was later arrested at an address in Morriston.
Judge Geraint Walters described the abuse Hart conducted between 2001 and 2015 as "some of the gravest sexual offences".
Hart had denied 16 charges including 12 charges of rape, two charges of indecent assault, one of assault by penetration and one of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
But a jury found him guilty after hearing harrowing testimony by the victim who said that she blamed herself for being "too afraid" to stop him, reported the Daily Mail.
During the trial it emerged that the girl, who was just 11 or 12 years old when the abuse began, was abused live for sick internet chatrooms where "a few hundred people would watch".
The victim said in one police interview: "I blame myself. I never did enough to stop him. I had opportunities to stop him but I was too afraid. I hate myself. I feel disgusted I let him do these things. I dream of it. Every single night I go through that."
The victim believed that she may have been drugged during some of the abuse.
Hart was a man of previous good character and claimed to be physically unable to have sex at the time the allegations took place in an interview with police.
