The initial tour announcement
December 18, 2016. The classical evening on L1. Radio Interview with Carla Maffioletti (in Dutch), by Emile Szarcowicz, L1 Limburg Radio. Program: Evening Guests.
A summary. Translation by Ineke, edited by John. Tonight Carla Maffioletti is our guest, to share her favorite music with us. Carla was born in 1973 in The Brazilian town Porto Allegre, which means: Cheerful harbor. She has the Italian and the Brazilian nationality. She hails from a musical family and already played the guitar as a child. Mama Leda, a music teacher, is the source of the musical passion of this family. She plays the piano, trumpet, guitar, accordion, and 4 percussion instruments. Papa Carlos is a financial advisor. Carla is the oldest child and she has two brothers, Fabio and Casio, who are rappers, hip-hoppers and DJ's. The family lived in a big house with a big garden with swimming pool, dogs, cats and a parrot. As a girl Carla played the guitar in the dark, in her little room and she dreamed to be a classical guitar player and composer of theater music. The name Maffioletti means: Little Danger. Carla is little: only 1.54 ½ m (5 ft and almost 1 inch). She is proud of the "½ cm". Little and dangerous, that fits her. For two years she lived in Switzerland in Lucerne, performed in the opera house there. Now she is back in the Netherlands, in Limburg, where she feels very comfortable. She now lives in Horn, a little town near Roermond. She speaks 7 languages: Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French, English, German, Dutch and a little bit of the Limburg dialect as well. She started her career with classic guitar but was discovered as a soprano. In 2000 she had been invited to study opera at the Maastricht conservatory, where André Rieu discovered her. For over 10 years she traveled the world with André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra. Later on she joined the opera houses of Giessen in Germany and Lucerne in Switzerland. She is a member of "the Strings", a mandolin ensemble in Limburg and in 2017 she started touring on her own with a theater production called "A dream". It has always been her dream to tour with a varied program consisting of classical music, tango, fado, and other music styles, guitar pieces, and her own compositions. She tells about a dream she had about a little girl in a yellow dress who was singing in a house. Carla woke up with the melody of "Amore". She composed the song and it is in her show now. Carla is 43 now and she feels good. Her character and voice matured under André Rieu's wings and the opera houses. Her life has had its ups and downs, but she feels free and secure, likes to be her own boss, and compose her own music. The first musical choice for this program is the title song of the movie The Walking Stick (1970): "Cavatina." Carla plays the guitar. The second choice is "Quando m'en vo" from La Bohème by G. Puccini, where Carla is accompanied by the mandolin ensemble and Manoe Konings on clarinet. Carla feels touched by the sound of the mandolins. She created a CD with the ensemble. Playing the guitar, besides singing, keeps her in balance. In her new tour she is accompanied by the salon orchestra El Capo, which she loves very much. The third piece of Carla's choice is "Pieno" (in Corso), with the Brazilian ensemble Camerata Ontoarte. The fourth choice is "Melodia Sentimental" by Heitor Villa-Lobos. A very well-known song in Brazil. The interviewer asks Carla why she planned only one concert in Limburg: on March 25 in the Bonbonnière in Maastricht. That happened to be the only concert in Limburg. Maybe there will be more concerts in Limburg during a second tour. The program is autobiographical, it is about her life, a living dream. For the future she likes to produce her own shows with her own compositions and some classical pieces. The program ends with her last and favorite piece: "Oblivion", composed by Astor Piazzola. The end.

Some highlights of this tour
March 18, 2017. L1 Cultuurcafé. Radio program from Limburg: Announcement of the Maastricht concert of this "Dream" tour on march 25, 2017. Below you may hear three musical pieces from the show.
Carla Maffioletti is a Brazilian/Italian singer, living in Limburg. Can we speak in dialect? Oh yes, we can! Carla you are well-known in your job with Rieu. Have you left Rieu? Yes, I left André Rieu, but I still feel connected in my heart. I always loved to sing opera and I joined an opera house in Switzerland since 2014. This year I started something different which I have been wanting to do all my life: I started my own show as a soloist. Now I have time to do what I like best. Your first solo-tour with musicians. How is that going? Wonderful! I am accompagnied by the Da Capo Salon orchestra, led by Ernest Frissen. With Ludo Mariën on the accordion and soprano Jutte Maria Böhnert. We have a lot of fun on stage, traveling through the Netherlands, and we perform in beautiful theaters. In this show you were seated and singing. Is that normal? I am seated because I play the guitar and I also sing. Singing in this position is hard, because the lungs need air to sing arias, so I had to practice a lot. It was not easy. We announced you as a singer, but actually your are a guitar player. I was educated in playing the guitar and I did not play it for a long time. When I travel, I always have the guitar with me. In my own show I finally had the chance to show this other side of me. You traveled the world. Now you travel solo through the Netherlands which is smalller. Why was this the ideal next step for you? I feel at home here. The Netherlands has become part of me. In total I have lived here for 18 years. The Netherlands is a part of me. They supported my career. I have two homelands: Brazil and the Netherlands. How do you see the future? I hope I may continue touring through The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany with my own project, my own compositions, and make my own CD. Now I have time. I'd like to stimulate my creative side. Next Saturday you'll perform in the Bonbonnière in Maastricht with a varied program. My favorite songs from Opera, Operetta, Brazilian music, Samba, Tango…. and of course a few surprise pieces. Instrumental and passionate pieces which accompanied my career. So it'll be the story of your life in the theater. We look forward to that! Carla Maffioletti, it was nice to have you here. Thank you very much.

Carla Maffioletti's tour "A Dream" on March 25, 2017 in theater La Bonbonnière, Maastricht. We loved the varied program, the singing, the guitar playing, the dancing, and last but not least: the beautiful dresses and artistic headdress creation. Below a video for the fans to enjoy! Thanks to Nino Freitag for the Barcarolle video. Pre-order her CD "Sentimental" on www.carlamaffioletti.com Release preview on December 2017.

In August 2017 Carla Maffioletti posted a nice surprise on Facebook: a video portrait by Isabelle Häcki about her time with the Lucerne Opera House in 2015 / 2016, titled: Spielzeit Nachtigall (Play of the Nightingale). Carla speaks perfectly German in here, but English subtitles are added. This is what Carla wrote on Facebook: A very special memory and great video portrait by Isabelle Häcki about my life during my engagement at the Lucerne Theater in Switzerland. In this video you can see the backstage of the musical Sweeney Todd. In my last year, I remember working very hard, sometimes I was tired, with huge changes in my life. I remember the challenges, but at most, the hope and the strength to follow my heart. I can say I got everything I wished for, and have so many beautiful plans. I'm very grateful! (August 2017).
Carla with her father Carlos.

Corregidor es una editorial argentina con sede en Buenos Aires, fundada en 1971, que se ha caracterizado por editar libros de cultura popular, literatura y ciencias sociales de difícil acceso al mercado. Concebida como un emprendimiento personal y familiar por parte de su fundador, Manuel Pampín, ha publicado obras que se volvieron muy importantes para el estudio y la difusión del tango, el lunfardo y el sindicalismo, así como el rescate de las obras de autores sin difusión, como la del pensador argentino Macedonio Fernández. Ha sido considerada la mayor editorial del mundo en producción de libros de tango, entre los que se destaca su colección La historia del tango.

Algunos de los autores que mantuvieron una relación editorial estrecha con Corregidor fueron el novelista Marco Denevi, el escritor uruguayo Juan Carlos Onetti, el poeta Haroldo Conti y el sociólogo experto en sindicalismo Julio Godio.

Trabajo editorial
En 2013 Corregidor tenía un catálogo de 1400 títulos vivientes y otras 3000 reediciones y novedades. Su propietario, Manuel Pampín, menciona además que deben considerarse también los libros "silenciados", refiriéndose a la censura
impuesta durante la última dictadura. Entre los libros editados que fueron prohibidos cita los del poeta Juan Gelman, los de Puiggrós y Haroldo Conti.

Tango

Corregidor se destaca especialmente por la publicación de libros de tango. Hasta 2013 había superado las 300 ediciones de libros, de los cuales 30 están referido a Carlos Gardel.

Entre ellos se destaca la colección La historia del Tango, dirigida por León Benarós, Juan Carlos Martini y Manuel Pampín, que hasta la fecha (2013) consta de 21 volúmenes que reúnen a más de 150 historiadores y especialistas, entre ellos José Gobello, Luis A. Sierra, León Benarós, Sebastián Piana, Estela Dos Santos, Enrique Cadícamo, Horacio Ferrer, Oscar del Priore, Luis Alposta, Francisco García Jiménez, Roberto Selles, Jorge Gottling, Osvaldo Pellettieri, Oscar D. Zucchi, entre otros.

Sindicalismo

Una de las líneas editoriales de Corregidor se orientó a publicar obras sobre sindicalismo, una temática para la cual prácticamente nunca hubo editoriales dispuestas en Argentina. Entre los libros publicados por la editorial se encuentra la monumental Historia del movimiento obrero argentino (1878-2000), de Julio Godio,  La tercera Década Infame (2003) y Crónica de una Ley No Negociada: El Fin de los Tickets -caso soborno- (2008), de Héctor Recalde.

Macedonio Fernández

Entre las características más destacadas de Corregidor se encuentra haber rescatado la obra del pensador aregentino Macedonio Fernández, a través de un proyecto que llevó 30 años, con más 17 libros publicados sobre el autor.

Reconocimientos
Corregidor, a través de su titular Manuel Pampín, ha recibido los siguientes reconocimientos por su labor:

 Gardel de Oro (1980);
 Protector y miembro de la Academia Nacional del Tango (1992)
 Orden del Porteño, de la Asociación Gardeliana (1993)
 Académico Honoris Causa de la Academia Nacional del Tango (1994);
 Buzón de la Asociación de Amigos del Museo Mano Blanca (2003);
 Premio Arturo Jauretche a la Cultura del Instituto Superior Dr. Arturo Jauretche.

Coronavirus puts strain on mental health: AIIMS Director Randeep Guleria
The remarks hold importance on the day the world is observing the `Suicide Prevention Day`.
File pic: Zee News
Guleria said, "Important aspect which has emerged both because of the pandemic, lockdown, and the whole issue of physical distancing and communicating through technology"
"The mental health issues have also become something which has affected not only those who have had Covid-19 but even sometimes the normal individuals who are sort of at home"
He said that students, old people, have now been confined to a small space and are communicating only through technology rather than physically
New Delhi: Director of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Randeep Guleria, has said that the coronavirus pandemic, lockdown, and communicating through technology rather than physically is straining the mental health of people.
The remarks hold importance on the day the world is observing the `Suicide Prevention Day`. According to the data of the National Crime Records Bureau, a total of 1,39,123 suicides were reported in India in 2019, an increase of 3.4 per cent in comparison to 2018. According to the WHO, we lose about 8,00,000 people to suicide every year.
"Important aspect which has emerged both because of the pandemic, lockdown, and the whole issue of physical distancing and communicating through technology rather than physically, is the strain on mental health," said Guleria while addressing AIIMS`s National Grand Rounds.
He added, "The mental health issues have also become something which has affected not only those who have had Covid-19 but even sometimes the normal individuals who are sort of at home."
He said that students, old people, have now been confined to a small space and are communicating only through technology rather than physically. "So, this has also caused a lot of mental health issues."
People are experiencing increased anxiety, fear, frustration, sadness, and loneliness to a point that those feelings become constant and overwhelming or having urges to attempt suicide during this pandemic during the pandemic. Existing mental health conditions, including severe anxiety and major depression, have also worsened.
Preeti Singh, Senior Consultant Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy at Paras Hospital in Gurugram said, "In lockdown, we have seen 300 suicide cases in India and mostly the deceased were men. They were badly hit by the pandemic because they are mostly the bread earners of the family."
She said that people suffering from mental health issues were going through terrible mood swings or anxiety disorders previously, but the symptoms deteriorated during the pandemic. "The economic and the psychological impact because of pandemic directly and during pandemic has been way beyond our imaginations."
Shweta Sharma, Consultant Clinical Psychologist at Delhi`s Columbia Asia Hospital said the reason for this rise is that many working professionals mostly complain of irregular work hours, the stress of work combined with lack of personal space as spouses are working from home.
Most of the mental health issue patients are between 25 and 40 of age, and more men than women reported the tendency, which indicates the growing level of anxiety and mental health problems in them, she said.
"About half of them do not have any history of mental illness in the past. We treat such patients with medicines, counselling, or talking therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)," added Shweta Sharma.
According to another doctor, Shuchin Bajaj, Founder and Director of Ujala Cygnus Healthcare Services in New Delhi, people are getting severely affected by their surroundings, helplessness to improve their situation and uncertainties of the future.
"We can also utilize this time to improve our relationships by conversing with your partner, having date nights, speaking about your dreams and worries. Please do not feel upset or if you feel things are going out of your hands then do not hesitate to call your friends or free helpline numbers to speak with mental health counselors or doctors," Bajaj added.

Our Chatham-Kent Community Heritage and Barn Quilt clubs joined forces to create this community landmark celebrating the 100th anniversary of 4-H in Ontario. Members of the "Live Laugh Quilt" club designed and painted the quilt mounted on the 4-H barn at the Ridgetown Fairgrounds. 4-H's Centennial quilt pattern combined with our clubs addition of the Card Trick pattern in the center represents the four Hs: Head, Heart, Hands, and Health, all working together to complete one's self. The 4-H colours are green, denoting growth and living things, and white for purity and clarity.
The first clubs were called Boys and Girls Club and were agriculturally based. Today, 4-H can be found in rural, urban, and suburban communities across the province. Club topics are not limited to agriculture and now include life skills, crafting, engineering, the arts, and personal and financial fitness.
This barn, built in 1959 to accommodate 4-H meetings and achievement days for swine, beef, dairy, sheep, poultry and rabbit clubs, is a result of the funding efforts of dedicated local farmers and 4-H members who canvassed door to door. Kenneth G. Clark was instrumental in making this building a reality. It is still used year-round for community and 4-H functions.
100 Years of Learning To Do By Doing was designed and created by: Morgan Anderson, Chloë Funnell, Sydney Funnell, Becky May, Hanna Reid, Lauren Ross, Lauren Sayers, Molly Sayers, Hanna Willemsma, and Juliana Willemsma. Leaders: Kyla Reid and Amber Sayers.

So, you're into camping? Hanging out under the stars, shivering around a fire, and listening to the natural sounds of... what? What's that you say, not camp? Oh! Campy horror movies! Now, that makes a lot more sense. That's on brand, right there. Right we're just grateful that we don't have to write five-hundred words on camping and we can focus on a subject we really like, the joy of classic horror movies like Friday the 13th!
Yes, the long-spun legend of Jason Vorhees goes deeper than 80's style slashers. The argument that Jason began the tradition of camp-based horror could be made. We don't know that it couldn't be shot down, we're not horror historians. But if any franchise has set the bar for balancing summertime fun and teens coming of age with the horror of the camp counselors being picked off one by one by a silent revenant, it's Friday the 13th and everyone knows it!
Being a founding film of the modern horror genre, it's no wonder why horror movie fans of all ages (even if they weren't around to watch eighties horror movies on a rented VCR) appreciate Friday the 13th gifts. From apparel to collectibles, gifting them a piece of Jason Vorhees's aesthetic will let them know that you understand why their macabre interests have survived through the decades and all the sequels, even the Sci-Fi blended movie, Jason X!
Horror movie director hopefuls will love unwrapping the Jason Vorhees journal.

With wire, wood glue, and nail polish you can create a pretty floral bouquet for your home or to give as a gift. This is a guide about how to make painted wire and glue flowers.
This is a super fun and pretty craft using wires, wood glue, and nail polish. Bend the wires in whatever flower shapes you admire, dip in glue, then paint. They reflect such beautiful colours in the sun. I hope you give this a try!
Cut off a piece of wire about 16 inches long. A few inches in from one end, wrap a loop tightly around your marker then twist the end so it stays in place.
Using the longer end, make a new loop around the marker right next to the first one. Twist to secure the end.
Keep going around until you have five petals.
Use your pliers to twist the first end of the wire onto the longer end of the wire, right under the flower. This is your stem.
Use your thumb and forefinger to squeeze the petals so they're a bit more elongated.
Now bend the petals downward over the curve of your marker.
To make lucky clovers, repeat the process above and stop at 4 petals.
Now pinch the petals the other way so they are wide and fat.
If you'd like leaves on your flowers, make your petals, then make a couple extra, bigger ones to squeeze into leaves.
Pour some wood glue into a disposable cup or bowl.
Dip the flower heads into the wood glue.
Allow the excess glue to drip back into the cup.
Use the wire stem to poke into the piece of Styrofoam.
Continue to dip all the flowers, poke into the Styrofoam, allow to dry for at least 30 minutes.
Paint the petals with different colours of nail polish.
Allow to dry for at least 15 minutes.
Add glitter and accents if desired. I like to paint a different colour on the underside edges of the flowers to give it a gradient look.
If you'd like to present it in a jar or vase, place a small block of Styrofoam inside.
Poke the stems in the Styrofoam and arrange your bouquet.
Enjoy your bouquet. They will last a lifetime!
Tried using this one for a similar project. Great technique! Simple but elegant.

'RHONY' Season 11 Reunion Supertease: Ramona Singer and Luann de Lesseps Battle It Out — Plus, Bethenny Frankel Talks Dennis Shields
By Sarah Hearon
The countess is in the hot seat. Luann de Lesseps' Real Housewives of New York City costars held her accountable for her sobriety during the season 11 reunion.
Biggest 'Real Housewives' Feuds Ever
"As you know, I slipped," Luann admits in Us Weekly's exclusive supertease of the three-part reunion.
Luann, who was arrested in December 2017 in Palm Beach for battery, trespassing and disorderly intoxication, was nearly sent back to jail following a failed alcohol test in May. She ultimately agreed to a second stricter plea deal.
"You failed yourself," Ramona Singer tells her costar. "I'm not going to give you a f–king break."
Luann adds that she knew everyone was going to attack her: "Get on your boxing gloves, it's fine."
Barbara Kavovit, who has been friends with Luann for years, opted to take a shot at the cabaret star's singing abilities.
"I mean you're not Adele, Luann," Barbara says.
Luann de Lesseps' Ups and Downs
"Take that and shove it up your ass," Luann fires back.
According to the press release, Bethenny Frankel also argues with Luann over whether paparazzi was actually following her.
During part one of the reunion, fans can expect the Skinnygirl CEO to be candid about the loss of her on-off boyfriend Dennis Shields, who died of apparent overdose in August 2018. The women also discuss Ramona's comment about his alleged substance abuse issues.
Most Memorable 'Real Housewives' Reunion Moments of All Time
"How smart can Dennis be? I mean, he was on drugs," Ramona quipped during the March 20 episode of RHONY.
During the reunion, she tells host Andy Cohen and a visibly upset Bethenny that her remarks were "terrible."
For even more RHONY drama — including accusations that Tinsley Mortimer doesn't even live in New York City and Dorinda Medley's comments on the infamous fish room — watch the supertease above!
Part one of The Real Housewives of New York City reunion airs on Bravo Thursday, July 11, at 9 p.m. ET.

Descended from witches, Nadia can sense that a spell has been cast over the tiny Rhode Island town - a sickness infecting everyone and everything in it.

As Nadia's Steadfast, her boyfriend, Mateo, should make her magic stronger, but the curse that torments him has only intensified. And try as she might, Nadia can't break the cruel spell on her best friend, Verlaine, or stop a mysterious illness that's striking people down one by one.

Bei der Tampongalvanik handelt es sich um ein Sonderverfahren der Galvanotechnik.

Hierbei wird das zu beschichtende Bauteil am Minuspol der Galvanikanlage befestigt. Die Anode ist ein Stab oder eine Platte aus nichtlöslichem Material, welche von einem Wattetampon umhüllt ist. Über eine Schlauchleitung wird diesem Werkzeug die Elektrolytlösung zugeführt.Das Verfahren besitzt den Vorteil, dass es auf Grund der einfachen und kleinen Komponenten räumlich flexibel zur Reparatur von Werkstücken vor Ort eingesetzt werden kann. Zudem ist auch ein gezielt partielles Beschichten großer Werkstücke ohne Abkleben und entsprechend große Bäder möglich.

Ein Nachteil ist der hohe Arbeitszeitaufwand, außerdem sind die erreichbaren Schichtdicken geringer.

Q: Class class type in cocos2dx The following syntax is from cocos2d
-(void) setLevelScene:(Class)klass
{
  [[CCDirector sharedDirector] replaceScene: [CCTransitionFade transitionWithDuration:1 scene:[klass scene]]];
}

i want to change above cocos2d code to Cocos2dx,  as i know there is no type such as Class in COCOS2DX.
How can i change the code particularly Class class type or any alternative type in cocos2dx?
Can you assist me to change the above code?

A: C++ doesn't have mechanism like isKindOf or class "that contain class name".
 If you want to check that object is an instance of a class you can use dynamic cast.
dynamic_cast< Class* >(object) <- this line will return null if object isn't an instance of Class
Another way is to use virtual method like ClassName();
 which you override in your every class and return a string with ClassName, for example:
 std::string MainLayer::ClassName(){
     return "MainLayer";
}

edit:
In your example I would write something like this
void setLevel(CCScene* scene){
 CCDirector::sharedDirector->replaceScene(CCTransitionFade::create(1.0f, scene);
}

and call like that
 setLevel(MainLayer::scene());

In this case you don't need any information about class in setLevel function. If you have many levels in your project good idea is use the Factory Method pattern.

A: void className:: setLevelScene(className* klass)
{
 CCDirector::sharedDirector()->replaceScene(CCTransitionFade::create(1, klass));
}

If you have ever planned a special event, you know that costs can add up faster than you can keep track of them. Suddenly, many unthought-of last minute items become essentials for your event. Whether it's the latest trend, or it is something that looked amazing at Sally's event, you end up feeling you cannot move forward without handing out another handful of cash in an attempt to impress your attendees. While it may be difficult to get a great and affordable deal on the latest styled items and trends, below are some cost saving tips to help you save money on your next catered event.
At SBC, Inc. we review numerous final bills from well-established venues—with that being said, multiple times I have encountered over charges, and mistakes on final bills from large brand name hotels. Sometimes it is a very painful process attempting to obtain a refund from a hotel, so don't sign off on any bills until you are totally satisfied! Make sure you do your own math calculations — calculate their taxes, service fees, check for hotel add-ons that you did not previously agree on and most importantly, don't be afraid to question any charges you are not completely sure of. Sometimes hotels do make honest mistakes, we are humans after all so always make sure you check your bill on your end before you allow any charges.
If you are unsure of how many attendees will actually be attending your event, you do have the option of having some items charged on consumption. Ask for a la carte menu options, sometimes a meeting planner package may appear to be a pretty good deal, but sometimes this comes out to be more expensive. Make sure to calculate the difference between your options, and pick the one that best fits your needs. No two events are alike, instead of ordering a set amount of snacks and drinks for a meeting, ask to be charged on consumption. This way you only pay for what is consumed. The same can be done for other snack items that are individually wrapped.
Have you ever walked into brunch and been offered a complimentary mimosa, then 15 minutes later you are kindly asked "how did you like the mimosa, may I get you another one?" Now, you didn't hear the word complimentary, but you also don't want to awkwardly ask, "is there a charge?" At least in this situation, consider yourself lucky because you are being asked for your permission, in contrast, some catering venues just refill your coffee cambro by the hour. At some hotels, one gallon of coffee costs over $90. Imagine how much money is spent on all-day coffee alone? Make sure to get your terms in writing, and have the hotel sign off on it. If there are any additional charges at the conclusion of your event, you will have proof that the banquet staff was not authorized to replenish, and add charges without prior approval.

Q: Multiple series Issue in line chart using JDBCCategoryDataset I want to add multiple series to create a line chart using JFreeChart in a Java application. I retrieve values from a database and use these values generate a chart. But only one line appears on the chart at the time. Can anyone help in displaying to lines at the same time.?

try{

    String query = "SELECT hardware, SUM(Quantity) FROM request_1v2 where date "
                            + "between '"+txt1+"' and '"+txt2+"'group by hardware";

    String querys = "SELECT hardware, SUM(Quantity) FROM request_1v2 where date "
            + "between '"+txt5+"' and '"+txt6+"'group by hardware";

    JDBCCategoryDataset dataset1 = new JDBCCategoryDataset(dbConnection.dbConnector());
    dataset1.executeQuery(query);

    JDBCCategoryDataset dataset2 = new JDBCCategoryDataset(dbConnection.dbConnector());
    dataset2.executeQuery(querys);

    System.out.println(dataset1);

    JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createLineChart("Hardware booked out between "+txt1+" and "+txt2+"", "Hardware", "Number", dataset1, PlotOrientation.VERTICAL, false, true, true);
    ChartPanel chartPanel = new ChartPanel(chart);
    panel.removeAll();
    panel.add(chartPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    panel.validate();

    JFreeChart chart1 = ChartFactory.createLineChart("Hardware booked out between "+txt5+" and "+txt6+"", "Hardware", "Number", dataset2, PlotOrientation.VERTICAL, false, true, true);
    ChartPanel chartPanel1 = new ChartPanel(chart1);
    panel_1.removeAll();
    panel_1.add(chartPanel1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    panel_1.validate();

    String sql = "select * from request_1v2 where Date between '"+txt1+"' and '"+txt2+"' order by date desc";
    PreparedStatement pst = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
    pst=connection.prepareStatement(sql);
    ResultSet rs = pst.executeQuery();
    table.setModel(DbUtils.resultSetToTableModel(rs));
}catch (Exception e){
    JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, e);
}

A: JDBCCategoryDataset specifies that "The first column will be the category name and remaining columns values (each column represents a series)." To get two series, you need to select three attributes. It should be possible to use aliases in a single query to distinguish references to the same table, as suggested here, possibly something like this:
SELECT hardware, SUM(t1.quantity) AS Series1, SUM(t2.quantity) AS Series2
FROM request_1v2 t1, request_1v2 t2
WHERE t1.date BETWEEN …

Alternatively, you can combine the two datasets into new CategoryDataset and use it to create a single chart.
DefaultCategoryDataset dcd = new DefaultCategoryDataset();
for (int i = 0; i < dataset1.getColumnCount(); i++) {
    dcd.addValue(dataset1.getValue(dataset1.getRowKey(0), dataset1.getColumnKey(i)),
        dataset1.getRowKey(0), dataset1.getColumnKey(i));
    dcd.addValue(dataset2.getValue(dataset2.getRowKey(0), dataset2.getColumnKey(i)),
        dataset2.getRowKey(0), dataset1.getColumnKey(i));
}
JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createLineChart(…, dcd, …);

So.... I was quite bored today as there is some boring renovation going at my place. As I was clearing up the place, I saw the box for our TV and I just fell in love with that material! So I thought , why not make a free robot base out of that!!!
1. Took a flap from the box.
2. Cut Circles out of it using a kitchen salad knife.
And so, the strenuous, arduous, yet significant process of transferring content from the old site to the new site began... It would have been nice if I had some direction as to what articles members want more... but having things at my own discretion is even better, I suppose. I think I will start with the AVR micro-controller and parallel port tutorials first. They always seem to be in demand.


I can have email on one window, and a browser on the other, when I click news links in newsletters, it opens a browser and loads the page while I can still continue reading the newsletter. This way, I'm not waiting for web pages to load, I only look at them after they are ready.
I can be writing one document while viewing source information on the other screen instead of needing to flip back and forth.
Multitasking, such as viewing a video while managing files or cleaning up an inbox.
I put one in portrait to view a full paper page of a document, instead of a partial page.
There are many more little ways two screens helps. It ends up saving a few seconds at a time…but it adds up over and over, ALL DAY.

An art history expert breaks down Beyoncé and JAY-Z's "APESHIT" video
Professor and museum curator Theodore Barrow tells us what we should know about The Carters's new video.
By Ariel LeBeau
Parkwood Entertainment/ Roc Nation
Theodore Barrow is best known as the eloquent and unflinchingly critical ruler of satirical skateboard clip review Instagram account @feedback_ts. His loquacious yet stunningly succinct asides on art history that find their way into his reviews are mostly lost on a large percentage of his sizable following, who seem content to pick (and lose) asinine fights with him about skateboarding. Nevertheless, he shows an impressive — albeit occasionally bewildering — commitment to sharing his insight with the kickflipping masses.
Barrow is an art history PhD candidate at CUNY's Graduate Center, while working as a museum curator at the Hudson River Museum in New York, and as an art history professor at Barnard College. On @feedback_ts and in real life, Barrow excels at making connections from the cultural happenings of centuries past to those today. When Beyoncé and JAY-Z dropped their video for "APESHIT," the most glamorous trip to the Louvre ever recorded, we thought it wise to call on Mr. Barrow's expertise.

First of all, what were your initial reactions to the "APESHIT" video?
My first reaction, was being thrilled that art was being featured in a music video at all. The video itself is gorgeously shot, and does show a continued interest in art on behalf of the artists, JAY-Z and Beyoncé, to engage with art (notable precursors being JAY-Z's "Picasso Baby," and Beyoncé's use of David Hammons and Richard Prince in "7/11"). The relationship between Julie Dash and Arthur Jafa's Daughters of the Dust and Beyoncé's Lemonade was, to my mind, a brilliant way to incorporate art in a music video, elevating the music and, in some ways, highlighting the artistic inspiration. I'm less sure about this current project. My second thought, and I'm not proud of this, was, ruefully "cool, more museum selfies." One of my pet peeves is, in spite of how many visitors there are in museums, how little time people actually spend looking at the art. People photograph everything, look but don't see, understanding very little of context. Art is not merely a photo-op, and posing in front of art is reducing it to a backdrop. This can be a problem.
Now, obviously JAY-Z and Beyoncé looking at art at the museum would be a really boring music video (though I would love to be a fly on the wall to overhear their conversation about the Mona Lisa). It's not the responsibility of the artists featured nor the director to give each painting its proper due, but I did feel like the art was only being used as a backdrop in this case. Art was being used to signify status with no meaning outside of cultural capital and luxury. Another uneasy response was immediately thinking of those memes of Puff Daddy standing in front of the Mona Lisa, etc. The enshrinement of an image, especially something as ubiquitous as the Mona Lisa, can be dangerous, as it strips the work of art of its multivalent interpretations and only uses it as a sign that essentially reads: status.
Analyzing the artists' intentions, what do you think motivated Beyoncé and JAY-Z to make this video at the Louvre, beyond simply flexing the fact that they are rich and culturally powerful enough to do so?
I know that JAY-Z is an art collector, and his in-ness with art world types has been well-documented (see "Picasso Baby"). I also know the difference between the persona of the rapper JAY-Z and Shawn Carter the entrepreneur and, perhaps, aesthete. I do think, however, that the public persona of the rapper and hustler unfortunately strips the acquisition and appreciation of art to commodity. It reminds me of the story he recounted in Decoded when a reporter who had been interviewing him got distracted by the paradoxical pairing of his Jesus piece above a Che Guevara t-shirt, and that Carter was so taken aback by that. For Carter, the jesus piece had belonged to Biggie Smalls, thus was something more than a piece of gaudy jewelry, and perhaps the Che shirt symbolized revolution, though of a very different sort than the rudimentary capitalism of the drug dealer, rapper, or entrepreneur. Art can be mean different things to different people, it is never about one thing, but it was difficult for me to see the art which functioned as a backdrop in this video as doing little more than "flexing," as you put it.
Do you get a sense that The Carters's utilization of historical artwork comes from a place of appreciation? Subversion? Both? Something else entirely? What are they trying to say?
Appreciation can mean a lot of things. I don't see how the Mona Lisa, for example, could mean anything more than a cultural destination and exclusivity in the context of this video. I also don't imagine that the Carters solely chose the artworks in the background of each shot: I would guess that this was a collaboration between the director, the production designers, wardrobe, the Louvre itself, and the artists featured. That said, I do not see anything subversive about their "greatest-hits" tour through the Louvre in this video: these are easily-recognizeable works that are reduced to cliche in this video.
To me the most significant theme seems to be the incorporation of blackness into a space that historically has sparsely included black people, or else failed to honor black experience altogether. The Carters transcend the barrier for entry themselves, obviously, but here alongside them they've also brought a troupe of black women dancers — ornately draped and interlocked and laid across the space in a very literal physical way. There's also the multiple vignettes of young black men and women performing similar gestures as the images of art with which they're juxtaposed, which suggests an empowering re-contextualization.
Yes, the incorporation of blackness is in fact very important in spaces that not only have excluded the black subject, but often is filled with objects that have a direct relationship to the historical subjugation of black bodies through slavery and wage exploitation. It is very rare to find examples from art in the Louvre (St. Maurice would be one) of black figures that aren't used decoratively. This is inexcusable, but it does reflect the narrow worldview and aesthetic mindset of the cultures that created these works of art. It is certainly important to reassert blackness in the universal survey museum. Fred Wilson's "Mining the Museum" interventions are important historical precursors to this project. More recently, Kehinde Wiley's highlighting of black models in old master paintings has done a lot, though not unproblematically, to reassert blackness within the history of old master paintings. Again, in both cases, we are talking about the project of artists who work primarily with ideas, and the music video is a different type of medium altogether. It is not the job of this music video, nor the burden of JAY-Z or Beyoncé, to reverse this exclusion.
I did find the sequences of dancers set against, say, the Nike of Samothrace or the Venus de Milo to be an interesting juxtaposition, and these sequences were the least irksome for me. However, a history of art that treats the black body as decorative is not adequately rectified by a video that treats this art history as decorative. In fact, given the budget of a video of this scale, the exorbitant costs of renting a public museum for the purposes of shooting a video at the Louvre, and all of the labor involved in the production of this video, I suspect that the product only pays lip service to correcting a history of exclusion. It is more likely that videos like this featuring billionaire artists bolsters the dominant culture rather than challenging its power.

The two paintings most prominently featured (aside from the Mona Lisa, we'll get to her in a minute,) are The Coronation of Napoleon and The Raft of the Medusa, each respectively employed as backdrops for Beyoncé and JAY-Z in the scenes where they aren't together. In these shots, the performer is small in the frame while the painting looms behind them. What should we know about each of these paintings? What's being said thematically by choosing these particular works?
This is a great question: the Coronation of Napoleon, by Jacques-Louis David, is significant in this context because Napoleon created a meritocracy where hard work, rather than birthright or aristocracy, equalled success. At least, that was the idea. France had abolished the monarchy bloodily in the 1790s, and Napoleon declared himself Emperor, crowning himself rather than waiting on the pope to do so. At best, within the context of this video, it's about the ascendancy of a smart, talented individual who redefines power and creates an empire. At worst, it's only seen as a symbol of power itself, and the tragic and irreversible end of Napoleon's reign, just over a decade of his coronation, offers no historical lessons. Speaking specifically of the history, Napoleon wanted to reinstate slavery in French colonies.
The Raft of the Medusa, 1818-19, by Gericault, is also an interesting choice. After the fall of Napoleon, Bourbon rule was re-established. Louis XVIII handed out cushy jobs to his aristocratic cronies, which led to the debacle of the Medusa. The story goes, the Medusa was trading with West Africa, and the intent was to resume slave trading. Slavery had been abolished during the French Revolution, but Napoleon's plans to use slavery in Africa was also considered under the Bourbon kings after 1815. The captain of the Medusa was incompetent, the ship ran into a sandbar, and 150 sailors from the lower decks were forced onto a raft that would lessen the load of the ship and allow the vessels to return to Europe. Or so they thought. A raft was quickly constructed, 150 men boarded it, and it was tethered to the Medusa by a rope. Unfortunately, the Medusa was still weighted down, so the ship's crew made a quick decision and cut the rope, abandoning the 150 sailors to a raft that had no food, only casks of rum. When the rum ran out, the drunken sailors became delirious. Many got sick. Many died. Murder, suicide, drowning, and cannibalism out of desperate starvation was practiced. Within two weeks, only 13 men survived out of the original 150. This debacle was seen as a scathing indictment of the incompetence of authority under Louis XVIII. Gericault's painting shows a moment of delusion, where a pile of bodies, crowned by a black sailor, writhes towards a flag in the false hope that the ship on the horizon will rescue them. This was not the moment that they were rescued. Given the context of this painting and its controversial history, it is difficult to see how this painting about slavery and careless brutality could have served as an appropriate backdrop in this video, but, I guess, it's a popular, well-known image.
These are a handful of paintings that we see in closeup for like, one second each. What can you tell us about any of them?
This is a detail of one of the Sabine women from Jacques-Louis David's "Intervention of the Sabines," from 1799. The painting depicts the moment when the Sabine men, who had mounted a counterattack against the Romans (who had stolen their women a few years before in order to start the roman civilization), are interrupted by the Sabine women, now wives of the Roman soldiers and mothers of Roman babies. It's a painting that is about putting down your weapons after all of the violence of the revolution, of which David was intimately involved. It would be nice to think that this painting has special significance to the Carters, as Beyoncé's brilliant Lemonade album was about infidelity, devotion, and reconciliation, which are also touchstone themes for David's painting here.
This is a wedding banquet scene by Veronese, depicting the Wedding Feast at Cana, where Jesus converts water into Wine. Veronese was a venetian painter who transformed the biblical scene into a contemporary (16th century) banquet. It's mannerist, overly-styled, and opulent, and the liquid miracle, itself about purity (water) and christ's eventual bloody martyrdom (wine), is somewhat overshadowed by the orgiastic feast in the foreground. I guess the themes of opulence and spirituality could connect between the painting and the video, and it syncs nicely with Beyoncé's verse about sipping on her favorite alcohol.
This is by Marie Benoist (one of David's students), titled "Portrait of a Black Woman, (or Negresse)," of 1800. It is, in fact, a pretty rare depiction of a beautiful black woman in a mode that is closely tied to not only the depiction of the seated virgin mary but also to mythological goddesses. The context for this painting is somewhat unknown, this may have been a woman brought back by the artist's mother, and we do not know Benoist's position within the heated debates around slavery in this period, but, as with all of this art, it can speak many different voices and say many different things to the audience. I suspect that it is used in this video as an example of triumphant enshrinement of the black subject, particularly when juxtaposed with the primarily white figures in nearly all of the other paintings glimpsed in this video.
I'm struck by this one moment where two dancers are posed in front of the Portrait of Madame Recamier, and neither Beyoncé nor JAY-Z are pictured. What do you make of this shot?
This one is weird, compositionally: it's as if the figures themselves now resemble the chair, their conjoined headscarves subtly echoing the shape of the chair and Mme. Recamier. They, like the furniture in the painting, sit uncomfortably on the floor. Again, this is why the use of art in this video seems paradoxical: when only used as a luxurious backdrop, it reinforces this subtext of subjugation, rather than empowering, in this case, the dancers.
Just so this isn't all about the paintings, let's mention the handful of sculptures in there. Any strong feelings about the use of the Sphinx, Venus de Milo, and/or the Nike of Samothrace?
In the same way that these sculptures have been decontextualized from their host countries (Hellenistic Greece, Egypt, Rome, etc) and put into a museum in the 18th century, so too are they even more confusingly placed in this video. The cultural context to which they belonged, the world of symbols and ideas attached to them, seems somewhat bereft in this video.
Finally, what can you tell us about the The Carters's (and the world's) fixation with the Mona Lisa? What makes her such a persistent cornerstone in the history of fine art that even JAY-Z and Beyoncé are transfixed by her?
Yeah, I guess it's nice that the video concludes with them finally turning to actually look at the Mona Lisa. It is the only moment when the art in the Louvre is the focus of the performers. That moment lasts about half a second which is, sadly, the amount of time most visitors to any museum spend looking at a work of art.
Of course, thousands of pages have been written, theories bandied about, about the phenomenon of the Mona Lisa. I'm not an expert in Renaissance art, but this is my take. First, this is a painting that for some reason Leonardo kept with him his entire life. The painting depicts the young bride of a wealthy Florentine who paid Leonardo to paint his bride, but Leonardo, a famous finnicky tinkerer even in his lifetime, never delivered. Eventually he leaves Italy and settles in the Court of Francois I, the king of France. The Mona Lisa thus ends up in the French Court. I believe it hung in Napoleon's bedroom in his palace at the Tuileries. Once the Louvre, which had been a private palace, was turned into a public museum after the French Revolution of 1789, the Mona Lisa was simply one of many Italian paintings on view. It was important, sure, but only as a sign that France had been the rightful inheritor of humanist, renaissance ideals of Italy of the 16th century. Nobody much cared about the Mona Lisa until the early 20th century, when an Italian carpenter who worked at the Louvre attempted to steal the painting and repatriate (send it back to Italy). It went missing, and there was a huge newpsaper sensation and investigation which brought in people like Picasso into the courtroom. It was finally returned, and that's when it became a sensation. Her enigmatic smile was not too dissimilar from many paintings done by Leonardo and his followers and contemporaries, but because of this sensational history, the Mona Lisa became a thing. It's an interesting story, but one that has more to do with celebrity than artistic merit. So, in this video, it follows that the reigning king and queen of pop culture would turn to this meaningless idol. As any visitor to the Louvre would know now, to see the Mona Lisa is to fight for an inch of visibility among the throngs of smartphone screens facing a 20-foot bulletproof glass box that surrounds the painting. It is hard not to see the Carters enjoyment of this painting, their access to it, as being about exclusivity and the privilege of the fabulously wealthy. Even with all that said, however, I was grateful to see the painting in an almost empty room. I realized that this was one of the first times I had ever seen it this way.
Overall, however, I think this video could just as easily been filmed in Versailles, and I'm curious why that wasn't the location. In the 21st century, although filled with priceless riches, Museums are public institutions. The value of going to a museum is not about the possibility of being able to buy or own any of these works of art, nor about legacy-building. Museums are important because anyone has access to these spaces and has the opportunity to see these works of art in intimate terms. Museums make what has, for centuries, been exclusively private and available to only a select few, public, available to all.
What I found most problematic about this video was 1) how the art was treated as decorative luxury and 2) how it was treated as something that only the very wealthy have access to. This may, in fact, be consistent with the history of art and where art had been seen and by whom before museums, but museums like the Louvre, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, etc. are fundamentally democratic institutions. They are palaces of learning and aesthetic delectation for everyone, and I object to the way the art was debased through appearing exclusive as an exclusive commodity in this video.

An edition of Joseph of Exeter (Joseph Iscanus): Daretis Phrygii de bello Trojano from Basel from the year 1541.
The Englishman Joseph of Exeter based his work largely on Dares of Phrygia when he wrote his poem Ylias Daretis Phrygii in the twelfth century CE. Although over two thousand years had passed since the destruction of Troy at this point, several of Joseph's statements match the excavation findings with amazing accuracy. It is unclear how such detailed information from the time of the Trojan War could have been preserved well into the Middle Ages.
Joseph of Exeter (in Latin: Josephus Iscanus) was a cleric and writer of the 12th century who lived in Exeter and wrote poems in Latin. His best known work is a hexametric epic entitled Daretis Phrygii Ilias De bello Troiano ("The Iliad of Dares the Phrygian: On the Trojan War") that he completed around 1190. Subsequently he took part in the Third Crusade, from which he returned unharmed in 1194.
Joseph's epic presents the most widely-known version of the story of the Trojan War of his time, beginning with Jason and the Argonauts. In contrast to Dares, on whose account his work is based, Joseph displayed a vivid imagination and expressiveness; he embellished the historical original and added several episodes without naming his sources.
My complaint is the tears of the Trojan Women and Troy given up to its fates, the two wars of the leaders, the city twice reduced to ashes by destruction.
But Telamon sneaks up stealthily and overcomes the hard resistance of the stones with his iron bar. And now, with the turned wall about to fall headlong, he steps back.
The vulnerability of the city wall of Troy in a particular place is hinted at in various ancient sources, including Homer, who says that Troy was most vulnerable "near the fig tree" (Iliad 6.431). Excavations by Wilhelm Dörpfeld indeed revealed a place where the fortification wall was less solidly built and had completely fallen over. Dörpfeld interpreted this as the result of an earthquake. The subsequent reconstruction (Troy VIIa) with narrow streets and numerous storage vessels is also mentioned in Joseph's account.
The river Simois irrigates nearby countryside as it travels from another world to see Troy. By its long journey through many kingdoms and cities it would like to have earned the right to flow out into the sea finally as a Trojan River. And while it gazes in unending amazement at Troy it delays its faltering course, slows down its already sluggish flow, and causes the whole city to be encircled. The sea is angry at the delay to its waters and presses in more violently, forcing the smaller river to move away so that it can get right up to the city. You would think they were striving to see who could get closer, such was the meeting of the two currents, such the continual roaring of the mutual strife.
It looks as though some accurate information from the time of the Trojan War was preserved through written records into the Middle Ages. In any case, Homer is not the only nor even the best source of suggestions concerning the possible appearance of Late Bronze Age Troy.
Bate, Alan Keith (1986): Joseph of Exeter: Trojan War I-III. Aris & Phillips, Warminster, Wiltshire, 1-193.
He [Priam] soon reintegrates the scattered town and spreads it wide. A sounder bastion keeps at bay the Greek division. First, the wounded walls are healed and breathe beneath his hand; the ramparts are content with just six openings. … He now is glad the towers fell, for now he has a greater tool – his loss is gain.


In 1885, Aspen became the first American municipality west of the Mississippi to use hydroelectric power. Today, the City of Aspen electric system uses 100% renewable energy (46% hydroelectric, 53% wind power, 1% landfill gas).
By showing the economic viability of renewable energy integration, we hope this model will be adapted worldwide.
Hydroelectric: The City of Aspen energy supply is 46% hydroelectric, including the Ruedi Dam and Maroon Creek Hydroelectric facility.
Solar: A solar thermal panel system is helping us meet our domestic hot water supply, and the water department is installing a solar voltaic system on the electric grid under the Solar Voltaic Project, reducing our community's carbon footprint by an estimated 9,215,000 pounds.
Wind: 53% of the City of Aspen's total renewable energy production comes from wind power, and more wind power purchases are possible in the future.
Base load is the minimum power necessary to meet customer demands at any given time. It is energy that must be there when a customer turns on a computer, lights, or refrigerator whether or not the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. Coal has been the traditional base load power supply.
Without sufficient levels of locally produced renewable energy, Aspen cannot provide reliable, clean and sustainable base load to the system into the future, and must instead rely upon supplemental purchases of costly, and non-local sources of energy which can be dirty or unreliable.
