If you've been following any of my posts recently, you might already know that this is the term of self-assigned reading that very nearly did not happen.
In fact, there were several points throughout the last month when I was seriously tempted to just call quits on the whole thing (this "whole thing" being the self-assigned reading I've started giving myself each year), chalk it up to an experiment that was only successful the first year, and move on.
What was the point of forcing myself to read stuff I didn't want to read right now? Was I really wanting to kill my drive to read, period?
(But if I keep putting off these books for "someday," they will forever and always be displaced by newer, shinier titles that ultimately usually end up with little staying power.) So I've GOT to stick with this!
That's how it went. All. Month. Long.
So I had to seriously force myself to dive in.
Also, I happened to be in the middle of a ridiculous number of books this month (I prefer to be reading around 4 at the same time, but this month, I was averaging 8-9). Many of them were titles that I had started ages ago and stalled on (*cough* Brave New World from the last self-assigned reading term *cough*), so I wanted to try and force myself to finish some of the old stuff before I let myself start on anything new.
But finally, I just forced myself to get started. First, I made myself actually FIND the books (which took an embarrassingly long time). Then, one by one, I forced myself through.
I ended up liking all of them.
But let's get onto the nitty gritty details, shall we?
***Note: You'll notice the titles below are affiliate links if you click on them, which help support To Love and To Learn at no extra cost to you.
First off, this book is depressing as all get out. In fact, while I was entering my own review of it on Goodreads, I happened to scan through a couple of the others and laughed out loud when I read this by another reviewer: "Finally, I have the right word for this predicament: When a capable author uses her prowess to create a work whose sole purpose seems to be to depress the reader, it can be described as Frome. This word can also be used as a verb, noun, adjective (Frome-ish, Frome-ier, etc), adverb (Frome-ly), etc. to similarly describe the effect it has on the reader, (ie, "I was Fromed.")" So yes, this book is depressing. If you go into it not expecting a tragedy (we're talking Shakespeare-level tragedy in some ways, here), you're probably not going to like this. At all.
However, I personally don't need a book to be happy or even hopeful in order to appreciate it. The reason I liked this book was because I'm a total sucker for books where the setting is so well-drawn that it's like it becomes a main character itself in the book, and that's how I felt about this one–the desolate wintry landscape of rural Massachusetts was done so well and fit in so precisely with much of the bleak scenery outside of my own windows right now that it just worked for me at this point in time.
Also, I love books that have great discussion material, and I feel like this short work provides a LOT of fodder for a rich book discussion. I'm half tempted to have my book club read this one sometime just because I want to talk about it with other people.
I definitely don't do truly creepy books, but this one had just enough of a creepy flair that made it fun, not nightmare-inducing. The story follows 3 middle schoolers, who have all been playing an elaborate make-believe game for years together, as they grapple with the expectations that come with growing up (namely, that their friend dynamic is about to change forever and that make-believe is about to become part of their past).
When I taught 7th grade, one of my favorite poems to teach was "On Turning Ten" by Billy Collins, which was all about growing up and leaving behind your childhood, and the bittersweet taste that leaves in your mouth. I've loved the poem for years, and this book perfectly captured the same feeling.
Since I'm used to longer, more detail-heavy books (aka, books written for adults and not for middle schoolers), books with a much younger intended audience can sometimes feel a little sparse on character development and nuance to me, and this was no exception. However, the trio's final adventure together before their dynamic changed forever was a surprisingly fun (and fast) read, and I'm glad I finally gave it a shot.
This was a title I bought for Matt for Father's Day (because that's a true Father's Day gift–a book that will teach him how to win every argument) that I'd heard a lot of buzz about. Matt read through it fairly quickly and then started pressing it into the hands of everyone he talked to about it, so I figured it was about time I saw what the big deal was for myself.
First off, I am no negotiator, or at least, I am not a person who happily negotiates unless forced to. So a book all about how to get the upper hand in any negotiation didn't really feel like my thing. But! The author was a former FBI hostage negotiator and starts each chapter with totally thrilling tales from his line of work, which definitely sucked me in immediately. Then, as I got further into the book, I realized that this stuff actually WAS applicable to my life, even as conflict-averse as I am. In fact, this book gave me tools to AVOID a lot of conflict when it comes to negotiating, some of which I've already deployed with great success.
I also liked how this book addressed many different scenarios in which you might use the tactics it talks about, including several outside of the traditional workplace environment (such as buying a car, negotiating for a discount in rent, helping someone to see your side, etc.).
Basically, I walked away from this thinking that everyone would benefit from reading it (although at the same realizing that that might decrease my negotiating power since then they'd know all my tricks, ha ha).
This book was paradigm-altering for me, not only in my parenting life, but in my own personal (emotional) life. Basically, it helped me to see that in order to teach my children how to properly process and express their emotions, I had to realize first that they way I personally have always dealt with my own emotions is actually not the best way (not by a long shot). So, since reading this, I have also started applying the techniques to MYSELF as well as to my parenting, and we've all come off much better because of it. A very high recommend (though I will say that this is not a super quick or easy read, which is why it took me several months to get through even though it's not long).
For thoughts on why I chose these particular titles, you can click here for my original post detailing this year's self-assigned reading.
Have you been Fromed (by this particular Wharton book, or by any other title)? And how do you feel about negotiating–is it an art form? A necessary evil? Or something to be avoided at all costs?

Леон Батиста Алберти (; Ђенова, 18. фебруар 1404 — Рим, 25. април 1472) је био италијански сликар, песник, лингвист, филозоф, криптограф, музичар, архитекта и уопште, ренесансни полимат.

Биографија
Његов живот је описао Ђорђо Вазари у својој књизи "Животи познатих сликара, вајара и архитекти". Уметност кватрочента је у великој мери сажета кроз његов рад и дело. Формирао се на северу Италије, након што је његова породица била протерана из Фиренце. Алберти је имао директно искуство са сликарством и вајарством и такође је био врло маштовит архитекта. Његову архитектуру карактерише ригурозна диспозиција класичних елемената која пружа рационалну основу за нове начине концепције простора и изградње. Међу најистакнутијим примерима Албертијеве архитектуре налази се фасада готске базилике Санта Марија Новела у Фиренци, довршена 1458. године, где је Алберти развио један плошни фасадни систем који ће имати велики утицај на каснију архитектуру. Такође је аутор пројеката више цркава међу којима се истиче црква Сан Андрее у Мантови (довршена 1494. године). Од исте важности као и грађевински пројекти су његови теоријски трактати о сликарству, вајарству и архитектури. Алберти је био плодан писац и у својим књигама је сажео све иновације својих савременика, укључујући такође неке примјере из антике. Међу тим књигама се истиче трактат о архитектури -{De Re Aedificatoria}-, написан у периоду од 1453. до 1485. године. Као резултат ових Албертијевих теоријских радова, нове идеје су се рашириле широм, али и изван Италије. Књигу -{Della Pittura}-, посветио је Брунелескију, као и Гибертију, Донателу, Луки дела Робији и Мазачу.

Рођен је као ванбрачни син фирентинског трговца. Образован је као правник на Универзитету у Болоњи.

Алберти се убраја у ауторе који су највише дали у пластичној обради, зато што је најчешће радио на фасадама већ постојећих објеката.

 Црква Сан Франциско, Римини · У то време много рађене интервенције на постојећим објектима. Тако је и ово средњовековна црква, коју је породица Малатестиано претворила у маузолеј за сахрањивање великих уметника. Алберти је постојећу грађевину буквално обукао у нову фасаду, користећи античке елементе – трем, лукове, ступце. Делови оригиналне грађевине су видљиви и представљају игру: облик у облику, кућа у кући… У прочељу је употребљен тријумфални лук. Инспирација: тријумфални лук у Риминију.

 Палата Ручелаи ()
У Фиренци су породице у сталним великим сукобима. Палате представљају и резиденције и тврђаве. У овом периоду се ривалство ипак више преноси на политику и економију него на директне физичке сукобе. Јавља се и потреба и могућност за оплемењивање фасаде.

Између 1446-1451. године пројектовао је палату за породицу Ручелаи. То је била палата изразито фирентинског типа. Алберти је напустио фортификацијски тип палате, као што је била палата Брунелескијева палата Пити, и дао јој тон градске резиденције са централним двориштем и репрезентативним степеништем. Највећу новину унео је на уличне фасаде. Ублажио је рустичну обраду фасада и поделио их пиластрима, при чему се користио суперпонирањем дорског, јонског и коринтског стилског реда.

Формула: на постојећу фасаду се наноси стилски ред.
Инспирација: Колосеум, рустика у приземљу, ка спратовима се губи. "Стилска фасада".

Елементи фасаде нису прави, представљају само плитак рељеф. Алберти се још није усуђивао да се отисне у простор. Приметна је наглашена ренесансна стреха.

 Санта Марија Новела () Фиренца
· Готска црква
· Задатак: уредити прочеље
· Овде се јавља пластично удубљивање фасаде. Постоји неколико планова, више или мање избачених стубова, али, опет, нису слободни.
· Волуте маскирају контрафоре. И Алберти и наследници су користили овај трик.
· Све је изузетно декорисано
· Фасада у пропорцијском односу – све је у квадратима. Могућа инспирација: Сан Мињато Монте
· У питању је двојезична архитектура: унутрашњост је остала оригинална, готска.

Critic Reviews of "Sullivans Travels"
Sturges' dialog is trenchant, has drive, possesses crispness and gets the laughs where that is desired.
Chicago Reader
A dubious proposition, but in Sturges's hands a charming one, filled out by his unparalleled sense of eccentric character.
Sullivan's Travels is a gem, an almost serious comedy not taken entirely seriously, with wonderful dialogue, eccentric characterisations, and superlative performances throughout.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Hard-nosed, farcical, tender, critical, satirical, elitist and populist all at once.
Scene-Stealers.com
... the movie road-trips from its scripter's typical cynicality to finding an assured kind of resonance in the third act in the most unlikely of places.
7M Pictures
a highly satirical piece, poking fun at Hollywood itself and showing how out of touch it can be
Laramie Movie Scope
It is, quite simply, a dazzling piece of filmmaking.
eFilmCritic.com
Not remotely a defense of junk, but it does respect comedy as a force for escapism.
Filmcritic.com
...just not as funny as its choir of supporters have made it out to be.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A delicious tragi-comedy set during the Great Depression.
Combustible Celluloid
Forgotten for years along with its maker, writer/director Preston Sturges, Sullivan's Travels has only recently enjoyed a comeback and induction into classic status.
F5 (Wichita, KS)
Its message drags it from the front guard of Sturges's work, but it shines nonetheless.

Cloud Tissa- Music Review
In 1998 Tissa released his first single called "Laumu" which means respect in Swahili at the age of 15. After, he teamed up with artists Rufftone and Eddy and released a single called "Its up 2 U" which rose up to the #1 charts in the Metro Fm countdown. He was even on the BBC radio station along with many other well known ones. He then toured with a super African star called Sali Oyugi with the Hot Road band. Soon after he released his first album called "Chapter 1" that had songs like Sunshine Lady with a music video that won the air wave in Africa and his song aired in Europe too. Very few Swahili songs ever air in Europe. Other tracks in that album included such as Ngoma and Dusk til Dawn.
His recent album called "Physically Fit" has a different flavor to it. It's a mixture of Urban Afro beat, Dancehall, Zouk, and Hip hop. This album contains 16 tracks and some of these are Cloud 9, Respect, Huyo Dem, Paid, and the number one hit called like the album, Physically Fit. This album was really meant for all those club lovers. Over the years he has done some incredible work with artists such as B-Nice, Femi, Prince Zeka, and Rens Newland. He has also appeared in international shows with huge artists like the Wailers, Third World Lucky Dube, and many more. Cloud Tissa's unique artist style I'm sure will cross boundaries.

Your highest-performing employees- the ones with the most knowledge about the company- may be who you're earmarking for leadership positions. But, not all great workers make great leaders. As a matter of fact, good leadership can have little to do with the ability to produce as an employee. Your company's "stars" may be getting your attention, but they may not be the best managers. The following are a few things you should consider when promoting employees into leadership roles.
LOOK FOR LEADERSHIP QUALITIES– People who are natural mentors to their coworkers, are innovative, are enthusiastic about change, and are looked up to by their colleagues are the ones you should target for management. Top employees may be fastest, or most accurate, or most knowledgeable. But, managers need a different skillset: they need to be able to connect, communicate, and inspire a team. Good leaders aren't in it for themselves. They're in it for the success of the company.
LOOK FOR PREVIOUS LEADERSHIP- While previous management experience doesn't guarantee someone will be a great manager (they may have been misplaced), it does indicate that a person has practiced giving instruction to others, driving a team, and evaluating performance. Keep in mind that not all leadership is learned in the workplace, either. Perhaps the leadership experience was gained as part of a sports team or volunteer organization. Be sure to thoroughly review a candidate's background- not just their job performance and history- before assigning a management role.
LOOK FOR THE DESIRE TO LEAD– Natural leaders will emerge through team projects, a willingness to grow and develop through outside classes and workshops, bringing new ideas to the table, exploring new technologies, etc. This may not be the person with the highest quarterly sales, but he/she may be the one who suggests a new incentive program, for example. Seek out those who have been demonstrating true leadership no matter what their position.
Keeping an eye on your current and future management structure is vital. It is imperative that you provide training for your leaders and future leaders. This is part of succession planning and investing in the future of the company. You should always be preparing for the progression of your employees. That keeps the company healthy and poised for growth.
If your company needs help with leadership development and training plans, please reach out to the Resource Squad and let us help you.

Макси́мівка — село в Україні, у Миколаївському районі Миколаївської області. Населення на 1.01 2016 року становить 119 осіб. Село Максимівка знаходиться в 50 км на схід від м. Миколаєва, 45 км на захід від м. Снігурівки, 4 км на південь від с. Киселівка, 11 км на південь від залізничної станції Засілля. Орган місцевого самоврядування — Киселівська сільська рада.

Історія

Заснування
Село засновано в 1801 році прапорщиком російської армії у відставці — Чорнопільським. Так, у виписці з указу Новоросійського губернського правління сказано: «В ноябре 1801 г. в деревне, находящейся во владении прапорщика Чернопольского, числилось крестьян: мужского пола — 5 душ, женского — 2 души».

Про перших поселенців читаємо в навчальному посібнику В. П. Шкварця та М. Ф. Мельника «Історія рідного краю. Миколаївщина»: «…переважну масу сільського населення краю становили вихідці з губерній Північної України та Центральної Росії». Але, судячи з мови, традицій, прізвищ та спогадів старожилів, можна зробити припущення про суто українське походження поселенців, які переселялися сюди переважно з Полтавської та Чернігівської губерній. Сільське господарство було провідною галуззю, причому до 30-х років ХІХ ст. тваринництво переважало над землеробством. Розведення великої рогатої худоби, інших домашніх тварин, при наявності на півдні країни ще вільних земельних масивів вимагало менших зусиль і технічних пристосувань, одночасно воно швидше і легше забезпечувало потреби в харчуванні, одязі, взутті. Пара волів, запряжених у важкий плуг, — ось що підіймало цілину того часу. Жилося селянам в цей період дуже скрутно. Відомо, що часто повторювався неврожай, головним чином через посухи. З 1799 по 1856 роки на Херсонщині неврожай було зареєстровано 21 раз. В ХІХ ст.посеред села копають велику криницю, глибиною понад 35 метрів, обкладену штучним ракушняком, та з великими кам'яними колонами, на яких кріпилися металеві рейки з колесом, з цепом та дерев'яною бадею, яке приводилося у рух конем (див.фото). Так черпали воду на все село. Вода була солонкувата.

Щодо назви села архівних даних немає. Один із найстаріших жителів села — Несущий І. П. розповідав, що Максимом звали одного з нащадків Чорнопільського, який був дуже вправним господарем і жив на так званому Німецькому хуторі. Цей хутір був розташований на схід від Максимівки біля Німецького ставка. На місці хутора в радянські часи була тракторна бригада, якої теж вже давно немає, а ставок з такою назвою є й досі. Очевидно, назва Максимівка з'являється десь на рубежі ХІХ -ХХ ст. і існує в народі поряд з офіційною. І лише після 1917 року, у перші роки радянської влади, село офіційно змінило свою назву з «панської» на більш благозвучну для радянської влади — Максимівка. За згадками ще одного старожила села Швеця О. П. в серпні 1941 року, коли німецько-фашистські окупанти зайшли в село, один з німецьких офіцерів тицяв пальцем в карту і кричав: «зто єсть — Чернополье?». На топографічній німецькій карті часів ІІ світової війни подвійна назва — Чорнопілля (Максимівка).

Початок XX століття
На початок ХХ століття Максимівка мала 669 жителів, нараховувалось 83 двора. «Без всякого скота» було 18 дворів, основна маса селянських господарств мала 1-4 голови,5-7 голів скота мали 10 дворів і лише один господар мав 10 голів скота. Сухі статистичні дані дають уявлення про тогочасне життя максимівців: корів — 139 голів, волів — 6 голів, коней — 76 голів. Це з «живого инвентаря», а з «мертвого инвентаря» селяни мали: плугів — 48 шт., жаток — 44 шт., молотилок — 1 шт., віялок — 58 шт., гарб і фургонів — 146 шт..Селяни мали трохи більше 1200 десятин землі в обробітку (1 десятина — 1,09 га). Причому у приватній власності було лише 711 десятин, решта знаходилась в «казенном владении». Посеред села копають велику криницю, глибиною понад 35 метрів, обкладену штучним ракушняком, та з великими кам'яними колонами, на яких кріпилися металеві рейки з колесом, з цепом та дерев'яною бадею, яке приводилося у рух конем, (див.фото). Так черпали воду на все село. Вода була солонкувата.

Радянські часи
На 1923 рік в Максимівці було вже 132 двори та 650 жителів, з них 311 дітей до 16 років .На початку 20-х років село стало центром Максимівської сільської ради, до якої, крім Максимівки, входили села Киселівка та Бурханівка. Нова економічна політика (НЕП) дала поштовх до нового зростання села. Вже в 1926 році на 1 жовтня в Максимівці проживало 809 жителів. Це найбільша кількість жителів за всю історію села. В 1923 році в селі була одна трудова школа «в которой обучалось 20 мальчиков и 21 девочка одним учителем». На ремонт цієї школи батьки збирали кошти. Про що свідчить протокол «Общего собрания граждан с. Максимовка от 20 сентября 1924 г.». Тоді ж президією Максимівської с/ради прийнято рішення про відкриття з 1 жовтня 1924 р. шкіл по ліквідації неписьменності в кожному населеному пункті, що входить до складу Максимівської с/ради. Непівський період закінчився, розпочалась сталінська колективізація села. Максимівські селяни спочатку організували 29 вересня 1929 року ТОЗ під назвою «Заповіт Шевченка». А вже в 1931 році був організований колгосп імені Леніна, до якого ввійшли селяни сіл Киселівки та Максимівки.

Колгоспники села Максимівки пережили страшну трагедію голодомору 1932—1933 р.р. Ось що ми дізналися з вуст старожилів села. Мойсеєнко Марія Петрівна згадує: «щоб вижити, ходили красти кукурудзу, а потім на жорнах її мололи і варили кашу. Влітку ходили на поле, перетрушували солому, раптом зернина випаде. Доводилось їсти мертвих тварин. У ті, роки багато людей вмерло з голоду». Швець Євдокія Герасимівна казала, що «…їли забовтуху. Ходили в місто, обмінювали на продукти сережки, обручки. Люди по дорозі падали і вмирали, бо були голодні. їли буряки цукрові і кормові». Ткаченко Олена Олександрівна (1905 року народження): «Щоб не вмерти з голоду їли горіхи, бараболю, собак, їжаків, буряки. З берізки збирали насіння, мололи на жорнах, а потім пекли коржі». Точних даних про кількість померлих в ті роки немає.

Максимівська трагедія в березні 1944 року
13-14 березня 1944 року, відступаючи під натиском військ Радянської армії, фашисти розстріляли, а потім спалили 68 жителів села. Ось що розповідала про це вчителька Максимівської школи Галдун Марія Петрівна, яка була очевидцем цих подій: «10 березня німці почали виганяти людей з Максимівки. О 10 годині ранку з боку Киселівки підійшов німецький танк і зробив три постріли по Максимівці. Група фашистів що була в селі, після цього почала виганяти всіх жителів з села. Люди брали візки, складали деякі речі і йшли у напрямку Херсона. Недалеко від села над дорогою була скирта. Всі вигнані зупинились біля скирти. Вдалині в напрямку третього відділку радгоспу "Красное знамя" (тепер с. Васильки), показалось кілька вершників. Всі з нетерпінням чекали: хто це? Німці чи наші? Нарешті впізнали — це наша кінна розвідка. Кинулись до радянських солдат, обіймали їх, цілували, хапали за стремена. Розвідники направили людей на третій відділок, там були наші. Це було надвечір. Та це побачили фашисти, що безчинствували в селі Максимівні. Частина їх окопалась на тому місці, де зараз тракторна бригада, фашисти відкрили вогонь по біженцях. Було убито Непомящого Федора, багато поранено, у тому числі і дітей. Поранених поклали на візки і забрали з собою. Коли добрались до третього відділка була вже ніч. Погляди були спрямовані на рідне село.14 березня загін наших розвідників підійшов до села з другого боку. Люди чули гучне "Ура" і повернулися в село, вважаючи, що німців у селі немає. Але там господарювали вороги. Всіх людей, що повернулися, фашисти зігнали на велике подвір'я до скирти. Всіх, кого знаходили біля хат, розстрілювали на місці. Фашисти ґвалтували дівчат. Потім вони підпалили скирту, біля якої були люди. Фашисти почали розстрілювати старих, жінок, малят. Люди падали у вогонь, горіли. Зробивши свою чорну справу, кати втекли з села.18 березня повернулися в село ті, що врятувалися на третьому відділку. Жахливу картину побачили вони. Скрізь лежали трупи. Під своєю хатою сиділа застрілена вагітна жінка — Авраменко Галина Євдокимівна. Люди почали збирати рештки своїх односельців. Мало кого можна було впізнати. Зібралися вцілілі односельчани, на допомогу прийшли червоноармійці. Викопали велику яму. У ній поховали рештки односельчан. Тут було знищено 68 чоловік. Це були жителі села Максимівки, евакуйовані сім'ї з Херсона і один невідомий».

It is a great honour to be with you today and to be able to address the extremely relevant question of the Power of Regions within the context of the challenges facing Ukraine.
I have no doubt that the greatest single threat to peace in the new millennium lies in the accommodation of diversity, within the borders that the countries of the world have inherited from their diverse histories.
The era of the homogenous nation state has gone. Immigration, emigration and the unfolding of history have led to a situation where populations all over the world are becoming increasingly diverse – and in which the great majority of countries have minorities that comprise more than 10% of their populations.
Diversity has two broad roots: firstly, it arises because different peoples have, for one or other historic reason, been included within the same borders. This is what happened in the United Kingdom; in Spain; Switzerland; the Russian Federation – and many other countries. In South Africa, widely diverse peoples were corralled together by the British in 1910 to form the Union of South Africa.
The other root of diversity is immigration. The diversity of countries like the United States, Canada, Australia and Brazil – and increasingly of Europe – came about as a result of the arrival of millions of people from other countries. The general pattern was that such immigrants integrated into their new societies within a generation or two. There was a reasonable expectation that newcomers would with time accept the values and identities of the countries which they have chosen as their new homes. As we are all observing at the moment, new waves of immigrants do not necessarily accept the assimilation model.
Minorities that have historically been part of the countries in which they live are also reluctant to submerge their identities in the culture and language of the national majority.
In many countries throughout the world, such minorities are increasingly restive. In regions like Scotland, Catalonia, Kurdistan, the Donbass region of Ukraine – and even Venice – long dormant identities are once again beginning to stir – with profound implications for the countries to which they belong.
This is partly because of a perceived lack of recognition by central governments of the language, cultural and educational rights of the affected regions;
It also arises from the frustrations experienced by regional populations with distant central governments that are too often perceived to be out of touch and insensitive to their needs and concerns;
Often there is a sense that regions contribute more to the national pool than they receive back in services from central governments;
There is also a growing perception that states do not have to be big to be successful. Some of the most prosperous societies are found in mini-states like Singapore and Luxembourg – or in countries with relatively small populations like Norway, Finland and Switzerland.
The continuing crisis in Ukraine also has its roots in its failure to accommodate diverse ethnic and linguistic communities within its traditional borders.

Papalscope December 2006
Papalscope December 2006.
Last week the Tisbury Nadder Hall hosted it's first meeting of the Salisbury District Council Western Area Planning Committee, since that Hall's refurbishment.
The well attended Meeting ran overtime. Much of the large audience was there because the Planning Brief for the Hindon Lane Site was up for determination.
Several members of the Public spoke. Objectors to the plan again over spilled their allotted time of ten minutes and even came back for 'Seconds' later. The Deputy Chairman of the Parish Council reiterated its conclusions on planning detail.
Three others spoke in support of accepting the Planning Brief. Former Tisbury District Councillor Roy Frankland stressed the need for more housing and also the need for the Station Works Site to be retained for its current use as a work area. Ms. Corp pointed out that the percentage of dissenters referred to, were mostly residents of Hindon Lane. This speaker's late mother served as our District Councillor for many years. The third speaker merely commended his Representations nos. 25 and 78 as attached to the Agenda. These suggested to the Forward Planning Department that he had no wish for large scale development anywhere in Tisbury, but that if we have to have it, he would be prepared to see it anywhere other than at Station Works. Another suggestion he propounded was that there was little necessity to have B1 work places on the Hindon Lane Site, as all such work area would better be located at Station Works.
There was a letter objecting to the proposed Development from the Ansty Parish Council. Surely that Village would not prefer the sixty houses to built at Station Works?
Western Area was very sympathetic to the circumstance of Hindon Lane Residents, as are we all. The matter was intensively discussed. The Forward Planning Officer frequently had to explain that no one was granting any sort of Planning Consent, nor would the draft become any sort of precedent either for this site or at any other in the Salisbury District Council area. Even so hypothetical details remained debating points for some. Apart from the matter of a roundabout, there was the problem of the three story buildings, or are they two and a half story? Nobody wanted them on the skyline. There was also reservation made concerning the 'siting' of some B1 work units, and the unacceptability of a swimming pool.
A very worthwhile Contribution to the Debate came from Councillor Anthony Brown-Hovelt of Wilton. I believe he evolved the suggestion that if one had fewer B1 units then one might have more houses and so be able to reduce the height of some. Further more I believe that it was he who pointed out that the planning aspect of Hindon Lane was done and dusted. He suggested that the proper time for many of the arguments currently voiced, had been when the Salisbury District Plan went to Appeal.
Both these points had previously been made by Papalscope.
Where were the Hindon Lane Residents then, did they make representations, did their Parish Council do so? I think not, I recall that the Fonthill Estate did, and some chap in Upper Chicksgrove did, because he was aggrieved that 'his' patch had been excluded from the Plan.
'There is a season unto everything in life'
Was the plan; that one way or another cost you and I unquantifiable hundreds of thousands of pounds, draw up solely by the oft criticised Forward Planning Department of the Salisbury District Council ? I think not, input to it was far more local than that. Seemingly our then sole District Councillor does not now approve of this proposed Development. Maybe we might enquire which Councillors' names appeared as Parties to that part of the plan that affected Tisbury?
The Current Forward Planning Officer confirmed that the site had been to Appeal, and that the Inspector had recommended it as suitable for a mixed development such as is now proposed. As I understood the situation, the Planning Office will now take all points raised at the meeting, back to the Proposed Developer.
Thus the Planning Brief eventually received the support of Western Area, with reservations. It is due for consideration by the Cabinet, at their Meeting to be held at The City Hall Salisbury, on the 13 December 2006. That meeting commences at 4PM. And is open for members of the public to attend .
It must have been encouraging for Councillors to see so much local interest in their deliberations at the Nadder Hall. My immediate neighbour there, was impressed not only by the complication of their work, but too the amount of careful consideration given not merely to this Planning Matter and another locally, but to the problem that Dinton has got concerning the parking of Trailer Containers on the former MOD site. Seemingly we are becoming more urbanised by the day. Will RAF Chilmark befall a similar fate ?
'PALONIAN-ISMS' (you read the word first here) ' And this above all, unto thine own self be true, and it shall follow as the night the day, thou cant's not then be false to any man.' William Shakespeare.
Next May, Salisbury is to have a District Council Election, and hopefully Elections for each of the Tisbury Parish Councils. I believe that at least one of the Tisbury District Councillors will be standing for re- election. Fortunately Tisbury does not suffer the stranglehold of any inadequate Political Party. It is still possible here, to remain an Independent and be elected to the Office of District Councillor. It is thereon in, that one is disadvantaged by the Party Political System. Everyone of us has a right to stand, providing one can get a handful of locals to sign ones Nomination Paper. One does not have to seek any other sort of Approval, nor attach oneself to any particular Group.
WELL IS IT YOUR TURN NOW ? Very probably it is . Why not stand as a candidate in the Local Elections next May either to become a Parish Councillor, or a District Councillor ? There is no deposit to be paid or lost, no ignominy in apparent failure.
I have long been interested in local Government, having stood on two separate occasions as an Independent Candidate for Election to the New Forest District Council. (It was there on the day of Mrs Thatcher's famous Victory that the support I received from 52% of a Ward Electorate, failed to win me a Council seat). My interest in local affairs precedes May1979. And has remained something that I have never been able to shelve. Those two vain attempts to become a Councillor did not arise through any sort of plan so to be. Some had suggested that
'I either put up or shut up.'
So it was that I became a last minute Candidate in a 1978 By-Election in a ward other than my own. My nomination Paper was signed by the Chairman and other members of the Parish Council, they encouragingly did so again in 1979. On that latter date the two Conservatives standing received more votes than I, and were duly elected. Not sure what happened to them, but the Ward had a high turnover among its Councillors, and has since been abolished as a separate entity.
One moans a lot that Tisbury has not elected a Parish Councillor in the last twelve years. There was a District Councillor in the New Forest who had been in office for twenty or so years, and had never ever been elected. Excellent chap I understood he arranged the annual Budget every year. On his retirement another Councillor was rustled up by the Conservative Party and he too was returned unopposed. The following year that same Man became their unopposed County Councillor. Not sure what became of him, he was not around for long.
There are Wards where Political Party Management seems , willing to back just about any Candidate willing to stand in their name.
Regrettably, too often some allow themselves to be all but drafted onto Councils, even though they have never had particular knowledge of, or interest in local affairs. I know of one New Forest Councillor elected on the say so of his Branch Committee, whose first action when Returned, was to ask his Branch Secretary if a District Councillor was expected to do anything? That gem came to me via the Branch Secretary.
If one has no aspirations to be effective on a Council, or anywhere else come to that , maybe it would be better not to get involved. It really isn't good enough just to 'dip ones toe in ' to see how one likes it.
Contrary to popular opinion, I think that young people are interested in all manner of activity. They may fail to offer their services as they have no wish to be ensnared by the near incestuous* 'Status Quo' that tends to persist way beyond its sell by date. I have never been in charge of much in life, but have ever found that young people are more than just willing to help if invited; albeit that they do not presume to put themselves forward, nor would wish to do so if all that is required of them was that they become doppelgangers of the powers that be. (*def. interconnected, especially so as to exclude the involvement or influence of others Encarta ® World English Dictionary © & (P) 1998-2004 Microsoft Corporation. )
When standing in an Election one needs to be to reconcile oneself to the seemingly haphazard entry of those afore mentioned Councillors, arriving by default. In fairness one must acknowledge that it is easier to get oneself elected, if one has never professed any interest in local politics what so ever. Possibly some of these ingénue of either sex, if such is a grammatical possibility, just felt it wiser to keep their powder dry ?
One could of course adopt an entirely cynical attitude. I recall a Conservative District Councillor down in the New Forest; one of three such Councillors also sitting as a Party sponsored a Hampshire County Councillors; telling me in front of the assembled New Forest Conservative Association, that 'yes' her Office was attributable to the Party Machine, but as a Councillor, she voted as she saw fit. I suppose that of itself is as it should be. However I never reconciled myself to stand other than as an Independent. Having done that in the midst of 'Blue Riband' area having a Conservative Parliamentary Majority of some 26,000, was unhelpful. Seemingly the inadequacy of Thatcherism is now also recognised by the New Conservative Party. Bit late for my cause.
Writing with all the shameless senility of a Septuagenarian, I am none too proud of the socio-political mess the span of our generations have bequeathed to those that succeed us. If fault attaches to any of us as an Individual, it is not usually on account of anything one did, nor with one exception on account of anything one didn't do, because few have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions. The point I reserve is that too often one has kept ones own counsel, or just made be-frothed rhubarb noises into a beer glass instead of speaking out when one should have spoken out. I trust this paragraph smacks more of Burke, than Piety. Regrettably Religion is much of the problem, at its best its become an apologetic placebo rather than any sort of a cure.
THOSE TISBURY PARISH ACCOUNTS.
Mentioned in my last PAPALSCOPE update. I have indeed been digesting them ever since. I do not understand why the affairs of Tisbury Parish Council, which is financed by the local Community Charge payer, are intermingled with the accounts of TisVis which is financed by European Funds. It was my understanding that TisVis was a separate entity, whose banking was to be handled by the Tisbury Parish Clerk. Seemingly in the relevant period, TisVis received an amount of money. Was it £2000 or £4000? Whichever it was , it was lumped in with other money, the property of the Parish Council, so to make a gross amount of £7,625.00. Helpful no doubt to the joint cash flow. Out of this amount TisVis spent £1,880.36. This largely comprised the balloons, Stationery including envelopes, the printing of the green book of statistics, and the Questionnaire. Hire of Hall etc. Further expenditure fell outside the remit of last year's Accounts.
I have since been advised that the Internal Auditor has requested that in next year's accounts balances held on behalf of TisVis should be separately identified. It really makes one wonder why the Parish Council needs to have such a glaringly obvious matter pointed out to them?
THE LRG PROJECT.
Is this an acronym for 'Local Recreation Ground ?' I am not sure where that stands at the moment but it astounds me that on the 7th of March the Parish Council paid out a cheque for £2,391.00 to one particular local residential creditor. My enquiry revealed that this amount was comprised of payments to a Project Manager that related to:
'ROSPA report liaison, Technical drawings and specification, Site meetings with contractors, Discussion with the Environment Agency, Wiltshire Wild Life Trust, Electricity Board, Highways Authority, Local Clubs, e.g. Football, English Heritage / Salisbury D.C. re planning application for ramp to bridge.
Well that no doubt explains the matter for some, if not to me.
One is advised that such expenditure was approved by Salisbury D.C from R2 funds. I was recently attended an apposite Committee meeting when our current Application for R2 Funding was submitted . There was then a particular request that approval be given for an amount of money be paid to a Project Manager. This application was being considered many months after that cheque for £2391.00 had been paid out. I recall that the matter of payment due was to be discussed at a Parish Council Meeting earlier this year. Were Parish Councillors cognisant of the size of the bill they had been running up by outsourcing their responsibility for overseeing the project ? It would surprise me to hear that they were. If they were, would it not have been good practice to advertise for the services of a Project Manager?
THE ALLOTMENTS
Parish Expenditure on the Allotments amounted to £588.18 including the water rate.( The outgoings for the previous year were £270.50.) . On the face of it, costs rose by 317.68p. Our income of £276 was £45 less than the previous year. Possibly either allotment rents should rise or the water might be supplied through a pay per flow meter. It is excellent that we have allotments, but the trend is that the rest of us pay our water on a cost per-litre-used basis. Maybe the Allotment Holders should do likewise?
Does West Tisbury have an interest in the Allotments we hire from the District Council? I have no idea whether the Joint Burial committee is financed by the District Council or by one or both Parish Councils?
CREDITS PAID TO US BY WEST TISBURY. Seemingly concern a contribution to the maintenance of the Stubbles area on their behalf. One appreciates that Tisbury and West Tisbury are theoretically separate entities. However there is no good reason that it remain so. I see no proper cause that Tisbury should subsidise 'our twin' Parish West Tisbury. It would be beneficial if the two Parishes amalgamated and so put an end to the current nonsense of two Parish Councils.
When given the opportunity to express their opinion on amalgamation Tisbury Parish Council saw no cause so to do. However they recognised that the extensive West Tisbury Housing Estates might be better within our Parish Boundary. Goodness me what on the earth do they think the issue is, if not that ?
Come under the same heading as does,
'There is no such thing as a free lunch'.
European Money, R2 Funding, Grants for Compost Heaps, all such money, one way or another comes from our pockets, be it directly or however indirectly. I do hope that The Parish Council maintains a careful watch on all expenditure. There was a meeting last week to discuss next year's Precept!
I give little credibility to that bit in the TisVis questionnaire (Q61) advising that 52% of the Village would be prepared to pay more Parish Council Tax to support the running cost of Village facilities. I am of the 49% who are less enthused. Maybe this mis- addition is but a manifestation of synchrony between the West Tisbury Parish, and others whose facilities are seemingly subsidised by the rest of us. How on the earth can one ask the same question of two separate Parishes whose financial commitments are so different ? I used to be on the TisVis Committee, and know we tried hard, but our Committee was no different to any other. What was that definition of a Camel?
Compensation for the Slave Trade? Here we go again. One might bear in mind that the Slaves were traded not only by Sea Captains, Plantation owners and others, but were rounded up and sold off by their Kith and Kin, not to mention Arab Traders. Let us not be deluded by the mores of Political Correctness. In those times, things were none too good for the indigenous Briton either, the majority of whom were equally enslaved by their circumstance. Liberty should indeed be highly prized but let us not weep crocodile tears, for if all one hears is correct, Slavery is still extant in the World today.
Why does not Government show more Leadership, be more effective over issues currently within their remit, and ignore the side shows of a World Time that none of us share responsibility for. I do not doubt many acquired wealth in Africa and India, in much the same way as currently some attain it from Russia and the Petroleum Countries. Until recently I had the business records of my family that spanned two hundred years. It was a relentless six day a week grind, and I speak of the re-prospering Middle Classes. Some members of our Family decided to emigrate and made a success of it. George Washington shared my Ancestry, as too a 'Father of the Confederation of Canada' whose son and daughter were respectively a Prime Minister of Prince Edward Island, and the First Superintendent Matron of the Canadian Armed Forces. I suppose one either has it, or doesn't. At least I know where mine went!
If one sees cause for compensation surely the West is continuously pouring aid into the Third World Government. Further hearsay is that much of that aid gets siphoned off for personal gain. Which thought brings one back to the duty we all have to pay greater attention to Public Affairs. JBP. Monday, 27 November 2006.

Photograph taken as part of Black Country Stories 2010 to 2014, produced and commissioned by Multistory.
Over the last four years, British documentary photographer Martin Parr has turned his inquisitive gaze to the Black Country. This is an area of the UK that he hardly knew before the project, other than that it was a densely populated, post-industrial area; one in decline. That is partly what he found, but there were also some small factories in relatively good health.
There is evidence that the families of Griffin-Woodhouse Ltd. in Cradley Heath have been involved in chain manufacturing since the 18th century. Today, a father and son are the latest link in this unbroken chain. An exception that proves the rule?
Martin Parr is a British documentary photographer. He is known for his photographic projects that take an intimate, satirical and anthropological look at aspects of modern life, in particular documenting the social classes of England, and more broadly the wealth of the Western world. Martin Parr is a chronicler of our age: in the face of the constantly growing flood of images released by the media, his photographs offer us the opportunity to see the world from his unique perspective.
Since 1994, Parr has been a member of Magnum Photos. He has had around 40 solo photobooks published, and has featured in around 80 exhibitions worldwide - including the international touring exhibition ParrWorld and a retrospective at the Barbican Arts Centre London, in 2002. More recently Martin has just completed a 4-year project documenting the Black Country, an area of the English West Midlands, in conjunction with Multistory.

2016 has been a year of learning, growing and big steps forward!
This year we re-visited work from 2015. 'I'm Laughing At Clouds' was performed as part of E-Luminate Festival back in February. In July, a re-worked version of 'She's Like A Forest Fire…Unstoppable' was taken to Big Dance 2016 in Medway; both the film and the performance received wonderful feedback and it was great to take the work back to Sun Pier where it began!
The main focus of last year has been planning The Princess Alice project. In October, all this hard work paid off when we were awarded funding from Arts Council England Grants for the Arts and Greenwich Council Community Art Fund. This was the first time I had applied for funding for a project which we were initiating, so it was amazing news to find out that it was successful!
In August, Daisy Farris Dance Collective became a registered company. As a result we now have a fantastic Board of Trustees whose expertise and support have played a huge part in developing the company.
The research for The Princess Alice project has been fascinating yet epic. Considering the scale of The Princess Alice disaster and its tragic circumstances, there is very little public knowledge or acknowledgement. However, once you scratch the surface there are some incredible articles and books written about the fate of The Princess Alice. Through my research I have had the pleasure of speaking to some very interesting people. Recently I met with Joan Lock, author of 'The Princess Alice Disaster' who kindly shared some of her own research and findings with me. Through Joan, I was also put in touch with Mr Ellen, who is the Grandson of Henry Drew. Henry Drew was a passenger on The Princess Alice and lost three of his children and his wife in the disaster. The research for the project will continue as we begin working in the studio next week.
As we count down the days to the start of The Princess Alice project, I would like to thank all the individuals and organisations who have supported the project so far. We hope that this project will mark the start of an exciting journey for Daisy Farris Dance Collective and look forward to finally bringing it to life in 2017!
There will be a number of opportunities for the local community to get involved with The Princess Alice project throughout the research and development stages. The first of these is a series of workshops for families. For more for more information about this opportunity follow the link to the Greenwich Dance website.

Before I purchased this system I called Jetline and they kindly arranged for me to see a demo of FSX running on one of their machines. I was very impressed with the performance. I also met two very knowledgeable and nice guys, Greg and Ken, who patiently answered all my questions and assured me that the computer they would build for me would not disappoint me. With the i7 2600K, EVGA GTX 560 Ti, and 8GB of 1866 memory it runs FSX with UTX, GEXNA, FEX and many add-ons with ease. I fly a lot over New York City and vicinity with the frames locked at 30, and landing at JFK, LaGuardia and Newark Intl, it bottoms out at 25- 26. The graphics are smooth and crisp. I could not be more satisfied with this computer, and I am confident that should I ever need support Greg and Ken will also not disappoint. These two guys love what they do, who could be a better choice to build a computer for a flight simmer.

A: The cron expression ends up in the CronTrigger. You can develop some service which SELECT an expression from DB in its afterPropertiesSet() and returns it via getter.
Then you declare a @Bean for the CronTrigger and call that getter from the service during its definition.
The @Poller on the @InboundChannelAdapter has a trigger option to refer to the existing bean.

Nashville, TN – Much to the excitement of Prog fans worldwide, The Neal Morse Band will be releasing a new live 2CD/DVD set and Blu-ray on August 5, 2016 titled "Alive Again." Riding on the tremendous success of their breakthrough album, "The Grand Experiment," The Neal Morse Band set out on a tremendously successful world tour in the spring of 2015. Neal Morse and Mike Portnoy have teamed up with Randy George, Eric Gillette, and Bill Hubauer to create one of the greatest progressive rock bands of all time. Full stop. "Alive Again" will be available as a DVD/2CD set and a standalone Blu-ray and shows the band at the top of their form performing for a rousing audience in The Netherlands on March 6, 2015.
July 16, 2012 – Nashville, TN—Coming off of a highly successful 2011 marked by the release of the critically acclaimed "Testimony 2" and an enthusiastically attended tour throughout the U.S., Mexico and Europe, Neal Morse could easily have justified going on a creative hiatus to catch his breath. But that would fly in the face of his convictions and the sense that he is being led to build upon the swell of success he is experiencing.
Morse's long time studio partner and friend Mike Portnoy had a small window in January 2012 when he could record. The only problem was, there was only one song and a few bits and pieces written. Taking a leap of faith, he scheduled a recording session with the drumming legend and longtime bass player Randy George in two weeks, hoping that the music would arrive before the musicians. And boy did it ever.
"Momentum" features five exceptional stand alone songs and one longer conceptual piece. In addition to the accessible title track, there's the quirkily clever, Gentle Giant-inspired "Thoughts Part 5," which follows in the footsteps of the previous "Thoughts" tracks penned by Morse with Spocks Beard. "Smoke and Mirrors" trods an introspective, acoustic path, while "Weathering Sky" offers a raucous cry for deliverance and renewal from a searching soul. Rounding out the shorter tracks is "Freak," an upbeat, strings-charged song unlike anything Neal has recorded to date. Last comes "World Without End," a near 34-minute, six-part epic that contains everything that defines Morse as a master of the genre.
Another highlight of this record is that, in addition to a masterful solo by guitar wizard Paul Gilbert, there are contributions from Adson Sodré, Bill Hubauer and Eric Gillette—three musicians who were selected as members of Morse's new touring band through an exciting YouTube driven open audition process.
While "Momentum" propels Morse forward and further cements his standing as a prolific progressive rock icon, it steers clear of the potential "more of the same" trap, and features fresh musical angles and some of the finest performances to date by the Morse, Portnoy, George team.
The release of "Momentum" on September 11 will be quickly followed up by a North American tour that spotlights the fresh talent of his new live band, with stops in such cities as Nashville, Jacksonville, New York, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle and Mexico City.
Much to the delight of progressive rock fans around the globe, Neal Morse is moving ahead with "Momentum," and there doesn't appear to be any kind of end to his unique creative talent in sight.
2011 has been a banner year for progressive rock, the genre that emerged in the late 1960s, peaked in the mid 1970s, and was threatened with extinction (certainly from a commercial perspective) with the advent of punk and new wave. Of course, prog never went away, and the music of seminal bands such as King Crimson, Genesis, Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Gentle Giant continues to sell well, forty years after some of them first emerged. If anything, prog's resurgence—which really began, with urgency, when the internet and message boards provided a place for fans spread around the world to unite and become a surprisingly powerful force, despite being nowhere near the millions that supported the music back in the day.
Prog certainly doesn't sell the numbers it used to, but the past twenty years have seen a gradual increase in interest, as groups such as Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard and The Flower Kings emerged and began playing to full houses. CD sales may not be what they used to be, but clearly there's enough support to justify the prolificacy of a number of specific players, who have become surprisingly significant movers and shakers in their particular neck of the woods.
Two specific artists seem to be tirelessly releasing at a rate that few others can match (with the exception of Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson). Keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Neal Morse has, since forming Spock's Beard and releasing The Light (Radiant Records) in 1994, gone through his own journey, one that found him leaving Spock's Beard after the release of the two-disc concept record, Snow (Radiant, 2002)—a not particularly hidden reflection of his increasing faith and decision to focus his energies more directly on spiritual pursuits. But even though his subsequent solo albums—amongst them Testimony (Radiant, 2003), ? (Radiant, 2005) and Lifeline (Radiant, 2008)—have all dealt with matters of religious discovery/rediscovery, they're still unapologetically progressive rock records—Christian prog, if a label is required.
Swedish guitarist/vocalist Roine Stolt is, like Morse, not exactly a spring chicken—both are over fifty, with Stolt having just turned 55 in September, 2011. He may qualify, then, for dinosaur status but, again like Morse, a youthful appearance, tireless work ethic and unequivocally modern approach to prog—even as he pays plenty of references to the bands that informed him when he was growing up—have made Stolt increasingly relevant. Cutting his teeth with Swedish prog group Kaipa in the mid 1970s, he worked in relative obscurity, however, until the mid 1990s, when he released The Flower King (Foxtrot, 1994), a stunning symphonic prog record that led to the formation of The Flower Kings, which would go on to release a dozen records between 1995 and 2007 (not including compilations), including certifiable classics Stardust We Are (Foxtrot, 1997) and Unfold the Future (Foxtrot, 2002).
Ascending in the prog world individually, it was when Morse and Stolt came together in Transatlantic, however, that their careers seemed to kick into even higher gear. A contemporary progressive rock supergroup with (now ex-) Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy and Marillion bassist Pete Trewevas, Transatlantic released two fine studio albums and two live albums between 2000 and 2003, before Morse pulled the plug, as he did with Spock's, to refocus his energies on his solo career and Christian prog. The hype was high when Transatlantic reunited in 2009 for The Whirlwind (Radiant), a 78-minute, continuous concept album that led to a 2010 world tour (including a stop in Montreal, Canada and Whirld Tour 2010 (Radiant, 2010), a mammoth three-CD and/or two-DVD set that documented the group's London, England show).
Both Morse and Stolt are predisposed to writing progressive rock epics—long pieces, often suite-like in nature—but Transatlantic upped the ante with The Whirlwind and the subsequent tour, its shows eclipsing the three-hour mark despite playing only six pieces that, with the exception of two shorter breathers—the power ballad "We All Need Some Light," from its debut, SMPT:e (Radiant, 2000), and the more ethereal title track to 2001's Bridge Across Forever (Radiant)—all clocked in at 25 minutes or greater. "The epic to end all epics" was Morse's mantra in his early days, when he composed "The Great Nothing," on Spock's Beard's V (Radiant, 2000), but it's become somehow meaningless, as he continues to deliver epic after epic, both on his own records and with Transatlantic. The same can be said for Stolt, whose latest group project, Agents of Mercy—again, with unrelenting prolificacy, releasing three studio recordings and one live album since its inception in 2009—has lept into the "concept album" arena with The Black Forest.
Together and apart, Stolt and Morse have a collective total of five records out this year, with Stolt on Agents of Mercy's The Black Forest, a live Flower Kings recording from 2007 with guest drummer Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, KTU), Tour Kaputt (Reingold Records, 2011), and More Never is Enough (Radiant Record, 2011), documenting two more shows from Transatlantic's 2010 Whirld Tour on a five-disc set (three CDs from the group's show in Manchester, England, and two DVDs from the Tilburg show in The Netherlands). Morse, in addition to the Transatlantic set, has released Testimony 2—Live in Los Angeles (Radiant Records, 2011), another three-CD/two-DVD set, in support of Testimony 2 (Radiant Records), his 2011 studio follow-up to 2003's Testimony, released just five months ago.
Between these five releases, it's manna from heaven for those who want to hear a contemporary take on the classic prog heyday of the 1970s.
When Roine Stolt first formed Agents of Mercy in 2008 with singer Nad Sylvan, it was intended to be a more acoustic, less symphonic alternative to The Flower Kings, which was on hiatus after the release of The Sum of No Evil (Foxtrot) in 2007. But as much as The Fading Ghosts of Twilight (Foxtrot, 2009) was lighter and less epic than TFK, Stolt couldn't deny his inner prog, especially with AoM also featuring Jonas Reingold—a far-reaching bassist whose virtuosic tendencies elevated TFK when he joined that group in 2000 for Space Revolver (Foxtrot). After a double-bill tour where Reingold's Karmakanic merged with AoM to perform music from both groups—documented on The Power of Two (Reingold, 2010)—AoM's next studio recording, Dramarama (Foxtrot, 2010) was already leaning towards a heavier prog tendency, with über-keyboardist Lalle Larsson (a member of both AoM and Karmakanic) ramping up the symphonic side of the group, while still maintaining plenty of distance from TFK.
The combination of Stolt, Reingold, Larsson and drummer Walle Wahlgren also meant that AoM had the instrumental virtuosity to stretch into areas approaching the early 1970s fusion of Mahavishnu Orchestra—Reingold and Stolt have even released an album, under the moniker 3rd World Electric, that was a heartfelt tribute to Joe Zawinul and Weather Report. But the increasing participation of Sylvan on the writing front (Fading Ghosts was written entirely by Stolt; Dramarama, while still largely from his pen, included three tracks by Sylvan, and two collaborations between the two) began to open the group up, even as it steadfastly avoided some of the excesses endemic to prog—cheerfully and unapologetically retained in Transatlantic—specifically, staying within shorter song forms (only three tracks over seven minute and all under ten).
With The Black Forest, Agents of Mercy makes the full leap into classic prog, with a 56-minute concept album that tackles some of the themes that have occupied Stolt for years, including the temptations of lust and greed, transcended by Christian morals that have made the Swedish guitarist such a perfect writing companion with the born-again Morse in Transatlantic.
It's also AoM's hardest-hitting album to date, with the 11-minute title track beginning aggressively, and making clear that Stolt, who'd somewhat subdued his guitar playing on earlier discs, was taking a more prominent position along with Wahlgren, whose drums are far more upfront in the mix this time around. Reingold's Chris Squire-toned bass combines with Larsson's synths, church organ, and mellotron strings and choir, on one of Stolt's most episodic tracks since TFK. Sylvan's "A Quiet Little Town," paradoxically, rocks harder still, the song finding a perfect nexus between classic Yes and Gabriel-era Genesis. Sylvan's vocal arrangements come from a choral tradition, and while it's uncertain how he'd replicate them live (the a capella intro to Stolt's "Black Sunday," for example), there's no doubt that while Stolt is AoM's primary mover and shaker—producing the record, as he did the previous two, and writing six of The Black Forest's eight tracks, with Sylvan covering the rest—Sylvan is increasingly definitive to the group's sound. There's no denying the references to TFK, with the participation of Stolt and Reingold, but Agents of Mercy has its own variant complexion.
In its harder edge and more decidedly symphonic prog tendencies, The Black Forest has now bridged the gap between Agents of Mercy and The Flower Kings so completely that it places the future of Stolt's flagship group into question. With a similarly layered approach to recording and an increasing predilection for epic writing, what would be the reason to reunite The Flower Kings at this point?
The answer to that question may well be Tour Kaputt—Official Bootleg, Live @ De Boerderil, which documents The Flower Kings 2007 tour in support of The Sum of No Evil, with Flower Kings founding members Stolt and keyboardist Thomas Bodin alongside Reingold and singer/guitarist Hasse Fröberg (who joined a little later but remain stalwart), recruiting drummer Pat Mastelotto to sit in for the absent Zoltan Csörsz.
It sounds like a marriage made in prog heaven, with Mastelotto the engine behind incarnations of King Crimson from the mid 1990s forward, until its (apparently) final dissolution in 2008. No stranger to mindboggling time changes and long-form compositions, his assimilation into TFK sound is, nevertheless, remarkable, as he incorporates his signature electronics into the mix, while playing with a more direct approach that updates the group's classic sound. The two-CD (also available on DVD), thirteen-song, nearly two-and-a-half-hour set weighs heavily on The Sum of No Evil, including the 27-minute "Love is the Only Answer," "Trading My Soul," "Life in Motion," "Brimstone Flight 999" and "The Sum of No Reason"—stretched out by half to include a fiery, up-tempo mid-section that pits Stolt against Mastelotto in the closest thing TFK comes to flat-out rock and roll.
If Stolt's playing has become more dominant in Agents of Mercy, he remains a far more visible front man in TFK—not only because he shares lead vocal duties with Fröberg, rather than taking only the occasional lead spot from AoM's Sylvan)—but because his guitar work is all over TFK in ways that it still is not with AoM. If there's a progressive rock guitar god for the 21st century, following in the footsteps of (and influenced by) everyone from Robert Fripp and Steve Howe to Allan Holdsworth and John McLaughlin, it's Roine Stolt. And none of these certifiable icons possess, with the exception of Fripp's Soundscapes, Stolt's textural breadth, nor can they evoke the same vocal-like humanity from a wah wah pedal.
The liners to Tour Kaputt—Official Bootleg, Live @ De Boerderil make clear that this was a tour with plenty of challenges—from hitting an elk in the tour van on the way to Oslo and encountering a potentially sticky immigration/visa problem on entering the UK, to Reingold's excruciatingly painful ruptured disc. But travails can sometimes cause a band to actually play better, and that certainly seems to be the case on Tour Kaputt.
It's only been two years since Neal Morse released his last live record, So Many Roads (Radiant Records, 2009), and despite that show being over three hours and spanning much of his solo career to date, with nods to Spock's Beard and Transatlantic, there's surprisingly little crossover on Testimony 2—Live in Los Angeles, recorded during a six-date US tour in support of the studio set, Testimony 2, released earlier this year. With the exception of the title track to Lifeline, that same album's aggressive "Leviathan," bits of "Testimedley" and "Reunion," from ?, everything else on Live in Los Angeles is performed for live for the first time.
Portnoy is at the back of the stage, rather than his more prominent position with Transatlantic, but he still connects directly with his audience, and lifts the energy of the entire band, especially during the complete performance of Testimony 2's first and main title disc, which occupies the third CD and second DVD of this five-disc set. And while Neal Morse is no Steve Morse, the Dixie Dregs guitarist who guests on the studio version of Testimony 2's "Seeds of Gold"—the 25-minute epic that's an early highlight of this live show—he's no slouch either.
But with Testimony 2 barely out half a year, is there a need for a complete live version of its first-disc follow-up to Testimony—less a sequel and more an expansion of the story of Morse's gradually becoming born again, filling in a series of blanks, including the miraculous recovery of his daughter, Jayda, born with a hole in her heart, and the time spent on the road as a member of Eric Burdon's touring band?
Absolutely. As strong as the studio record is, the live version is simply more powerful, more majestic, more transcendent. That some of the players have sheet music in front of them reveals another aspect to Morse's musical résumé. But while reading from the page can sometimes get in the way of the music, that's never the case here, with everyone shining, both individually and collectively on a segment from Sola Scriptura (Radiant Records. 2007) and, "The Separated Man," from One (Radiant Records, 2004).
A 90-minute tour documentary, put together by Randy George, provides plenty of insight into the challenges of launching an ambitious tour on a relatively small scale (only six US dates performing in relatively small halls). But it's the performance that itself that recommends Live in Los Angeles. Morse's faith is front and center here (as is Morse himself), but what comes through is a man whose faith is absolutely genuine. He doesn't preach, he reports; and if there are too many charlatans in the world of organized religion, the world needs more people like Morse, whose spirituality is infectious and who has, indeed, managed to carve out a unique place for himself in progressive rock. Morse may not proselytize, but with Testimony 2—Live in Los Angeles, Morse's energy, unassuming honesty, commitment and clear faith could well reach some new believers.
And so, individually, Stolt and Morse have released records that put them at the top of their respective game. But what of when they come together as Transatlantic? The term "sum of the parts being greater than the whole" is something bantered about liberally, especially in supergroup contexts such as this, but it's hard to deny the collective energy and flat-out fun that Transatlantic has on tour. The Whirld Tour 2010 live set demonstrated the potent positivism of Transatlantic in concert, though it came under some criticism, by some, for a weak low end that didn't capture the majestic power, say, of the group when bassist Pete Trewevas was using his Taurus bass pedals.
Still, with a full live show documented in certainly more than acceptable audio and multi-camera video, was there really a need to release another CD/DVD set? Based on More Never Is Enough—Live @ Manchester & Tilburg 2010, the answer? An emphatic yes. With the CD documenting a particularly loose show in Manchester, England, and the DVD capturing the group's final performance of its European tour in Tilburg—the same Netherlands location where the same group recorded Live in Europe (Radiant Records, 2003), from its 2001 tour in support of Bridge Across Forever—the set doesn't render Whirld Tour 2010 irrelevant, though it does resolve the bottom end issues. Instead, it shows Transatlantic to be a group that may perform exactingly detailed progressive rock epics, but it's also a group of players capable of interpreting the music differently each night, in particular Stolt, who makes any Transatlantic set worth hearing.
Little gets written about the group's touring fifth member, Daniel Gildenlow—whose own group, Pain of Salvation, leans more towards the metal side of prog and was formed when he was just 11. He looks a lot younger than his nearly 40 years, and rarely gets the spotlight, but between supporting guitar, keyboard, percussion and vocal work, he makes it possible for Transatlantic to better replicate its layered studio productions on stage, and he's a strong visual part of the group, his youthful energy making him an absolutely essential member. And while he only gets one brief vocal solo, on the main show closer, "Duel With the Devil," he brings his own grit and fire to Morse's lyrics, which continue to focus on spiritual searches, but in a less blatantly born again fashion than in his own solo work.
As ever, Morse delivers a religious message without didacticism, giving his own music, with its far more direct message, the same crossover appeal as his collaborative writing for Transatlantic. Vocally as strong as ever, his keyboard work is an impressive match for Stolt's, especially his organ work, and his own background working in Eric Burdon's touring band and a myriad of other groups, means he's got a similarly broad frame of reference, with echoes of jazz during the "Set Us Free" portion of The Whirlwind, and tinges of Harold Budd ambience during the atmospheric intro to "Bridge Across Forever," the first of two encores that, together with "Stranger in Your Soul," clocks in at nearly 45 minutes.
Having five vocalists also works to great advantage, and while Morse is, far and away, the singer most in the spotlight, Stolt changes roles with the keyboardist on "We All Need Some Light," singing it as he did in a version only available on the now out-of-print limited edition of SMPT:e. And while they're not perfect—Portnoy's occasional lead spots are a little rough around the edges, but his enthusiasm remains infectious—it's the warts-and-all nature of More Never Is Enough that makes it a worthwhile alternative to Whirld Tour 2010.
And while Whirld Tour 2010 had, as a bonus feature, Transatlantic playing Genesis' "The Return of the Giant Hogweed," with ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett, at their High Voltage festival performance later that year, More Never is Enough includes a final third encore, the band's first performance of the song—without rehearsal. Surprisingly—or, perhaps, not so surprisingly given how connected everyone is to this music—everyone pulls it off.
With Whirld Tour also including a tour documentary, what's left for More Never is Enough are four bonus segments called "Stranger Jams," taken from four different performances, that, with everyone in the group switching instruments, demonstrate the fun these guys have onstage, whether it's Portnoy's impromptu bass pedal solo, his crowd-diving, or an unexpected descent into 1970s pop with Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling." The "Stranger Jams" may only be worth one watch, but they demonstrate Transatlantic as a group that doesn't stick to a script.
If this is, indeed, the end of the group's three-year Whirlwind project, starting with the studio album and ending with More Never Is Enough—Live @ Manchester & Tilburg 2010, then it may well have to be enough. But with a group whose members have their own projects, and with Roine Stolt and Neal Morse's tireless energy to keep coming up with something new, it would be a shame if Transatlantic ended here. It may be an on-again/off-again project, but here's hoping it becomes on-again real soon.
In the meantime, projects like Agents of Mercy, The Flower Kings and Neal Morse's solo projects—along with Trewevas' ongoing work with Marillion, and Portnoy, now a free agent after leaving Dream Theater in the fall of 2010, participating in a variety of other endeavors, will keep everyone—but especially Stolt and Morse—alive in the eyes, ears and minds of prog fans around the world.

title: How To Run A Script After Network Initialisation on Raspbian
tags:
- raspbian-lite

I have a raspberry pi configured to share my wifi internet through the ethernet port, so that I can turn my dump ethernet printer to a wifi accessible one.

I do this by using the setup guide at https://www.instructables.com/id/Share-WiFi-With-Ethernet-Port-on-a-Raspberry-Pi/.

There's a script that I have to run for internet sharing to kick off at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arpitjindal97/raspbian-recipes/master/wifi-to-eth-route.sh.

But I also want to run this script after the network initialisation of raspbian lite. This is how I could do this.

## Create a Systemd Service

Go to **/etc/systemd/system/**.

Create a new service by the name **start-internet-sharing.service** and add the following in there.

```
[Unit]
Description=Start Sharing Internet
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/etc/init.d/wifi-to-eth-route.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```

Note: I have the above script downloaded at `/etc/init.d/wifi-to-eth-route.sh`
**Wants** and **After** above will declare the requirement and the event to run the script on.

That's it. Restart the rpi and whatever the script you want to run will run after network initialisation.
