Q: Implementing a clock face in UIView I'm trying to implement a clock face in UIView - without much luck.  The problem is that the hands on the clock face end up in totally the wrong position (i.e. pointing to the wrong time).  I'm pretty sure that the logic of my code is correct - but clearly there's something significantly wrong.
My test app is an iOS Single View Application.  ViewController.h looks like this:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface Clock : UIView {
    UIColor* strokeColour;
    UIColor* fillColour;
    float strokeWidth;
    NSDate* clockTime;
    CGPoint clockCentre;
    float clockRadius;
}
- (id)initWithCentre:(CGPoint)centre
              radius:(float)radius
         borderWidth:(float)width
          facecolour:(UIColor*)fill
          handcolour:(UIColor*)handFill
                time:(NSDate*)time;
@end

@interface ViewController : UIViewController

@end

and ViewController.m looks like this:
#import "ViewController.h"

@implementation Clock

- (id)initWithCentre:(CGPoint)centre
              radius:(float)radius
         borderWidth:(float)width

          handcolour:(UIColor*)handFill
                time:(NSDate*)time {

                              centre.y-radius,
                              radius*2,
                              radius*2);

    if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) {

I'm sure it's something very simple that I've done wrong - a mistake in my maths.  Can anyone see the bug (and any other suggestions for improvements that could be made would be welcome, bearing in mind (of course) that this is just a simple test harness).

A: As I wrote in the comment, consider dropping doing everything in drawRect and use layers. Also, instead of calculating trigonometry to draw correct path, consider just drawing hands at 12:00 and transform rotate them with correct angle. You could do it like this in init...
CAShapeLayer *faceLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
faceLayer.frame = self.bounds;
faceLayer.fillColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;
faceLayer.strokeColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
faceLayer.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect:faceLayer.bounds].CGPath;
faceLayer.lineWidth = 3.0;
[self.layer addSublayer:faceLayer];

CGPoint middle = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.bounds), CGRectGetMidY(self.bounds));

NSCalendar *cal = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian];
NSUInteger units = NSCalendarUnitHour | NSCalendarUnitMinute | NSCalendarUnitSecond;
NSDateComponents *components = [cal components:units fromDate:time];

UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
[path moveToPoint:middle];
[path addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(middle.x, middle.y-radius*0.5)];

CGFloat hourAreaAngle = (2*M_PI)/12.0;
CAShapeLayer *hourLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
hourLayer.frame = self.bounds;
hourLayer.strokeColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
hourLayer.lineWidth = 3.0;
hourLayer.path = path.CGPath;
[self.layer addSublayer:hourLayer];
hourLayer.transform = CATransform3DMakeRotation((components.hour/12.0*(M_PI*2.0))+(hourAreaAngle*(components.minute/60.0)), 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);

[path removeAllPoints];
[path moveToPoint:middle];
[path addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(middle.x, middle.y-radius*0.8)];

CAShapeLayer *minuteLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
minuteLayer.frame = self.bounds;
minuteLayer.strokeColor = [UIColor blueColor].CGColor;
minuteLayer.lineWidth = 2.0;
minuteLayer.path = path.CGPath;
[self.layer addSublayer:minuteLayer];
minuteLayer.transform = CATransform3DMakeRotation(components.minute/60.0*(M_PI*2.0), 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);

[path removeAllPoints];
[path moveToPoint:middle];
[path addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(middle.x, middle.y-radius)];

CAShapeLayer *secondsLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
secondsLayer.frame = self.bounds;
secondsLayer.strokeColor = [UIColor greenColor].CGColor;
secondsLayer.lineWidth = 1.0;
secondsLayer.path = path.CGPath;
[self.layer addSublayer:secondsLayer];
secondsLayer.transform = CATransform3DMakeRotation(components.second/60.0*(M_PI*2.0), 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);

Note I put my colours and line widths because I'm lazy and didn't want to check your code :P.
If you want to update hands later, just store hands layers as variables and transform rotate them again (just remember to first transform to identity!).

The Dark Knight Rises Trailer 2: IN LEGO [YouTube] – Beautifully put together Lego version of the new Dark Knight trailer.

CBS Blocks Use of Unused 'Star Trek' Script by Spinrad [NYTimes.com] – "For "Star Trek" fans it was like finding a lost Shakespeare play — only to have it snatched away by the playwright's heirs.Last fall an unused script for the cult 1960s television show turned up after being forgotten for years. Its author, the science-fiction writer Norman Spinrad, announced that it would become an episode of a popular Web series, "Star Trek New Voyages: Phase II," which features amateur actors in the classic roles of Capt. James T. Kirk, Mr. Spock and other crew members of the starship Enterprise. But then another player stepped in: CBS, which said it owned the script and blocked a planned Web production of it. Trekkies were appalled. "These executives should be phasered on heavy stun," said Harmon Fields of Manhattan, who called himself "a 'Star Trek' fan of galactic proportions." … By all indications CBS is within its rights. In the entertainment industry the paid writer of a teleplay generally cedes the rights to the material, even if it remains unproduced."
Shitter: Social Media has never been so disposable – Online service that prints a twitter feed onto toilet paper. I suppose such a thing was inevitable.
Pay TV piracy hits News [AFR] – A detailed investigative report accuses NewsCorp of actively promoting and facilitating the piracy of competitors pay TV network content: " A secret unit within Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation promoted a wave of high-tech piracy in Australia that damaged Austar, Optus and Foxtel at a time when News was moving to take control of the Australian pay TV industry." These are hugely important accusations both in terms of NewsCorp but also in terms of how piracy is framed and understood.
What book publishers should learn from Harry Potter — Tech News and Analysis – Useful post detailing the DRM-free release of the Harry Potter ebooks and audio books for sale on J K Rowling's Pottermore website. The lesson here is that DRM really isn't necessary, and you're more likely to reach a wider audience without it. Admittedly Rowling has unprecedented clout in managing her own books in electronic form, and has already made so much money off these books there's no real risk involved, but the strategy is an important one nevertheless.
Angry Birds Space gets 10m downloads in three days [BBC] – The latest version of the Angry Birds game notched up 10 million download in its first three days of release, says its developer Rovio. Angry Birds Space only came out on 22 March, but in a tweet on Monday Rovio announced the game's swift success. … The new Angry Birds instalment features 60 initial levels and six new characters and has what Rovio calls a "unique twist in a variable gravity environment". As well as Google Android and Apple iOS devices, last week also saw the game released simultaneously on PC and Mac. Nasa was also involved in promoting the game, posting a video showing an astronaut on the International Space Station explaining the laws of physics using Angry Bird characters.
The space agency called it "an exciting way to get people engaged with Nasa's missions of exploration and discover".
Google ordered to suspend autocomplete function over cyber-harassment [The Japan Times Online] – "The Tokyo District Court approved a petition demanding that Google Inc. suspend its autocomplete search feature for Internet browsers after a man alleged that it breached his privacy and got him fired, his lawyer said Sunday. Google is refusing to suspend the feature, saying that its headquarters in the United States will not be regulated by Japanese law and that the case does not warrant deleting the autocomplete suggestions related to the petition under its in-house privacy policy, lawyer Hiroyuki Tomita said. The case, which was adjudicated on March 19, is believed to be the first to order the suspension of the Web search feature, which attempts to instantly anticipate and list the words or phrases a person will type into a browser's search box, Tomita said. [..] The man discovered that when people type his name into Google's search engine, words suggesting criminal acts, which he is unfamiliar with, appear."
Facebook Asserts Trademark on Word 'Book' in New User Agreement [Threat Level | Wired.com] – "Facebook is trying to expand its trademark rights over the word "book" by adding the claim to a newly revised version of its "Statement of Rights and Responsibilities," the agreement all users implicitly consent to by using or accessing Facebook."

Links for October 5th 2011 through October 17th 2011 (catching up on a backlog of good links!):
New YouTube features for music artists [YouTube Blog] – YouTube gets even further on the disintermediation bandwagon (ie cutting out the middle people), letting bands and music partners offer merchandising, concert tickets and link to digital sales (including iTunes) from their music videos. It's all about the integration!
Amazon Rewrites the Rules of Book Publishing [NYTimes.com] – "Amazon.com has taught readers that they do not need bookstores. Now it is encouraging writers to cast aside their publishers. Amazon will publish 122 books this fall in an array of genres, in both physical and e-book form. It is a striking acceleration of the retailer's fledging publishing program that will place Amazon squarely in competition with the New York houses that are also its most prominent suppliers. It has set up a flagship line run by a publishing veteran, Laurence Kirshbaum, to bring out brand-name fiction and nonfiction. It signed its first deal with the self-help author Tim Ferriss. Last week it announced a memoir by the actress and director Penny Marshall, for which it paid $800,000, a person with direct knowledge of the deal said. Publishers say Amazon is aggressively wooing some of their top authors. And the company is gnawing away at the services that publishers, critics and agents used to provide."
Buyers dodge court's Samsung tablet ban [The Age] – Surprising no one: "Australians are making a mockery of a Federal Court injunction banning the sale of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets in Australia by ordering them from online stores. Meanwhile, in the US, Samsung's own lawyers were left red-faced after being unable to differentiate between Samsung's and Apple's tablets in court. Samsung has been forbidden by Federal Court Justice Annabelle Bennett from selling or marketing the device in Australia until a full hearing in its patent infringement case with Apple, which isn't expected to take place until next year. Justice Bennett said Apple had a prima facie case that Samsung infringed two of its patents. But online sellers on eBay, and web stores such as MobiCity.com.au, Expansys, Techrific and dMavo, are bypassing Samsung Australia and obtaining stock from other countries, such as Hong Kong."
Google Announces Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results (GooglePlus = 40 million+) [Google Investor Relations] – In their third quarter financial resuts, Larry Page announces that Goole+ has passed 40 million users.
Lady Gaga bans Lady Goo Goo song [BBC News] – Given Lady Gaga's rhetoric about respecting her fans ignoring (her) copyright and that this effort seems like parody to me, I'll be interested to see how this is justified: "Lady Gaga has won an injunction at London's High Court to stop animated character Lady Goo Goo from releasing a single, its makers have said. Lady Goo Goo, a baby with a long blonde fringe from the Moshi Monsters online game – owned by UK firm Mind Candy – released The Moshi Dance on YouTube. But Lady Gaga's injunction has stopped its full release, Mind Candy said. Law firm Mishcon de Reya confirmed it had represented Lady Gaga but said it could not comment further."
A fall sweep [Official Google Blog] – Google is killing off a number of poorly performing products. Google Buzz is the most notable closure. Hopefully Google learnt a lot from Buzz, especially about privacy.
Felicia Day turns to Hangouts to promote new show [NewTeeVee – Online Video News] – "Web series veteran Felicia Day will promote her new online show Dragon Age: Redemption with a unique twist on Google+ Hangouts: The actress will be experimenting with something she dubbed Hangout Housecalls this coming Tuesday. Day is promising to visit as many Hangouts of her fans within a three-hour window as possible. She announced the house calls on Google+, where she explained: I'll answer questions about the show and we can even pose for a photo that you can screencap and post later! Cool? Cool. The Dragon Age: Redemption house calls will kick off with a post on Day's Google+ profile on Tuesday at 10 a.m. PST that will ask viewers to post links to their Hangouts in the comments. Day will then click through those links, visiting one Hangout after another."
The Guild turns product placement into merchandising gold [NewTeeVee – Online Video News] – Good wrap-up of the many, many different types of merchandise now available surrounding Felicia Day's web series The Guild. Also interesting are both the careful deals – finding merchandise options which don't threaten existing sponsorship from Microsoft and Sprint – but also how a lot of merchandise was strategically linked to Comic Conventions so that, eventually, they could be integrated into Season Five of The Guild which is largely set at a con. Day really is a canny business person and shows how far a recognisable web series can the deployed to make money across a wide range of products and tie-ins.
200 million Creative Commons photos and counting! [Flickr Blog] – Flickr users have now explicitly licensed and shared over 200 million photos using Creative Commons licenses. This is a fantastic and valuable resource. However, given there are more than 5 billion photos on Flickr, surely there could be more under CC licenses if the world was really spread? After all, being able to specify your license is one of the key things that Facebook really can't do right now/
Barcode Scanner for Zotero [Android App] – Android barcode scanning app for Zotero. If the barcode links to a book metadata, you can automatically add it to your Zotero library. "Scanner For Zotero brings Zotero's magic wand tool out into the physical world. Scan the ISBN barcode on any book, and Scanner For Zotero will fetch that item's bibliographic info from the web and allow you to add it to your Zotero library.That's pretty cool."
Facebook's privacy lie: Aussie exposes 'tracking' as new patent uncovered [The Age] – "Facebook has been caught telling porkies by an Australian technologist whose revelations that the site tracks its 800 million users even when they are logged out have embroiled Facebook in a global public policy – and legal – nightmare. Facebook's assurances that "we have no interest in tracking people" have been laid bare by a new Facebook patent, dated this month, that describes a method "for tracking information about the activities of users of a social networking system while on another domain"."

Links for October 19th 2010 through October 23rd 2010:
Facebook Advertisers Can Glean Private Data [NYTimes.com] – So Facebook is basically leaking private data? "Online advertising offers marketers the chance to aim ads at very specific groups of people — say, golf players in Illinois who make more than $150,000 a year and vacation in Hawaii. But two recent academic papers show some potential pitfalls of such precise tailoring. Both papers focus on Facebook ads and show that in certain circumstances, advertisers — or snoops posing as advertisers — may be able to learn sensitive profile information, like a person's sexual orientation or religion, even if the person is sharing that information only with a small circle of friends. Facebook does not share such information with advertisers. The papers come amid an intense focus on vulnerabilities in Facebook's privacy safeguards."
iMovie blocks studio names in new trailers [Engadget] – iMovie 11 and the words you can't say: "Perhaps its testament to the quality of the iMovie '11 trailers that Apple is blocking the use of big name studios in the titles. Ironic since Apple provides templates that ape the Paramount snow-capped mountain […] and familiar Universal Studios globe. Just don't try to enter those studio names into the title sequence — the words "Paramount" and "Universal" will be replaced with hyphens. We suspect other studios are affected as well. Hard to say if this is Apple's doing or the studios as both are notoriously controlling. We'd laugh if only we could stop crying."
Big Networks Block Web Shows From Google TV [NYTimes.com] – Will Google TV suffer the unending legal battles that have besieged Google Books? "In the latest sign that Google may struggle to transform television viewing with Google TV, its new service for Internet-connected TVs, three major broadcast networks and Hulu are blocking people from using the service to watch full-length TV shows on their Web sites. Initially, people could watch the full shows on TVs and set-top boxes that use the Google TV software, which Sony and Logitech began selling this month. But as of Thursday, most of the full shows on the sites of NBC, ABC, CBS and Hulu were blocked. People could still visit the sites to read text and, in some cases, watch short vignettes, but not full shows."
Google's Street View broke Canadian privacy laws [The Register] – "The Canadian privacy watchdog today said Google's Street View fleet broke the law when it collected payload data from unsecured Wi-Fi networks. An investigation by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, one of dozens launched around the world earlier this year, also found the practice was the result of a single Google engineer's "careless error", as well as a wider lack of controls at the firm. In some cases, Street View cars intercepted entire emails, said Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart. […] She did not announce any punitive measures, but recommended Google should destroy the data, tighten its privacy governance processes, and improve privacy training for its employees. The investigation will be closed in February next year, subject to confirmation Google has taken those actions."
Facebook Vows to Fix a Flaw in Data Protection [NYTimes.com] – "When you sign up for Facebook, you enter into a bargain. You share personal information with the site, and Facebook agrees to obey your wishes when it comes to who can see what you post. At the same time, you agree that Facebook can use that data to decide what ads to show you. It is a complicated deal that many people enter into without perhaps fully understanding what will happen to their information. It also involves some trust — which is why any hint that Facebook may not be holding up its end of the bargain is sure to kick up plenty of controversy. The latest challenge to that trust came on Monday, when Facebook acknowledged that some applications on its site, including the popular game FarmVille, had improperly shared identifying information about users, and in some cases their friends, with advertisers and Web tracking companies."
Links for October 10th 2010 through October 12th 2010:
Simpsonic Business as Usual? [Antenna] – Jonathan Gray's excellent piece discussing the tensions evident in Bansky's Simpsons' opening sequence: "… it leaves us with uncomfortable questions about Groening and co. How are they complicit, and are they simply making this a joke so that they and we can say, "Oh yes, that is bad, isn't it? But we know about it, so it's all okay. Let's just get back to business as usual, shall we? Pass the Cheetos"? I was left with many conflicting responses here myself, on one hand thinking it was a brilliant statement, on the other hand feeling deeply uncomfortable that this is the show's response to its labor practices – making an opening credit sequence rather than actually fucking doing something about them. Yet, the contestation of authorship in which the sequence engages leaves us wondering whether the American animators (who are largely responsible for the couch gags, by the way – these rarely involve the writers) can do anything about The Simpsons Factory."
Traditional developers look to Facebook games for inspiration [WA Today] – The rise of casual gaming: "While casual games might seem like innocuous time wasters, the sort of drop-in, drop-out games played on Facebook, mobile phones and through web portals have seen revenue grow from $US300 million in 2005 to at least $US3 billion ($3.05 billion) today. The real-time farming simulation game, FarmVille, made for Facebook and smartphones by the developer Zynga, has more than 62 million active users, which is equivalent to about 10 per cent of Facebook users. […] While console-game developers charge a large upfront fee, casual-games revenue is derived through micro-transactions. "You may see 90 per cent or more of your audience never pay you a dime," Kozik says. "They engage in the game absolutely free and can see if it is something that appeals to them or not. Then the 10 per cent or less who do pay more than justifies the continued expansion of the game." Casual and social games are less expensive to develop than console games."
Apple Awarded Trademark for "There's an App for That" [Mashable] – There's a trademark for that: "Apple has filed a trademark application for the company's now ubiquitous catchphrase, "There's an app for that." Apple filed for the trademark back in December 2009, citing first commercial use of the phrase on January 26, 2009, per trademark documentation. The trademark was filed in the Advertising, Business and Retail Services, Computer and Software Services and Scientific Services categories. The trademark applies to "retail store services featuring computer software provided via the Internet (Internet) and other computer and electronic communication networks; retail store services featuring computer software for use on handheld mobile digital electronic devices and other consumer electronics.""
The Search – Is Your Web Identity Hurting Your Employment Chances? [NYTimes.com] – Web presences as (un)intended CVs: "You looked wonderful on your résumé. Your references raved about you. The interview went swimmingly. Yet you didn't get the job. Oh, no: did they see that Facebook photo of you dancing on a table? Or find out that you're six months behind on your mortgage payment? You may never know why you weren't hired, but be aware that background checks can make or break a job application. And in a data-rich world, the person with the fewest red flags may get the job. Little hard research has been done on how hiring managers use the Internet to vet applicants. But you should assume that they are at least looking you up on search engines. So it's wise to review the results of a quick search of your name. It is very hard to remove anything questionable about yourself from a search engine, but you can at least push it lower by adding positive entries, said Barbara Safani, owner of Career Solvers, a career management business in New York. "
Short Attention Spans for Web Videos [NYTimes.com] – I suspect the quality of the content matters, too! "After watching an online video for a full minute, 44.1 percent of viewers will have clicked away, according to Visible Measures. But an outsize slice of that loss occurs in the first 10 seconds, during which 19.4 percent of a video's audience defects. This phenomenon, known as "viewer abandonment," is of intense interest to those who make online videos or advertise alongside them. Visible Measures studied the abandonment rate of 40 million videos over seven billion viewings. Music videos had especially high rates of abandonment, as did videos slow to reach a punchline — for example, a Budweiser ad about a man humiliated while buying pornography, which loses nearly 40 percent of viewers in the first 10 seconds. "It took a shocking 12 seconds to get to the conceit," said Matt Cutler, the head of research at Visible Measures."
Keeping Our Distance, the Facebook Way [NYTimes.com] – It's all about the weak ties: "Facebook is the best distancing tool since the creation of the Christmas card. Sending holiday greeting cards began in the 1850s in England and spread quickly as a way to stay in touch with far-flung friends and relatives. The cards, whether religious or not in theme, went to people you rarely wrote to and even more rarely spoke to, but for whom you still had a measure of affection — or curiosity. You wanted to know what was going on in their lives, and one exchange a year did the trick. The cards kept the people in your social network at a distance, while maintaining ties to them. I recall my parents sending and receiving Christmas cards. I did it for a year after I married, but I stopped because it was just too much work. Facebook, which tries to replicate our real-world relationships online, now helps me maintain those connections. But it does cards one better. It preserves the weak ties in my social network without creating obligations."
10 Unbelievable Twitter Stories [Oddee.com] – A bit silly, but some useful extreme stories of what Twitter communication is very good for (and very bad for).
Bathurst delay angers viewers [The Age] – Interesting idea; I don't think a social media blackout would work, but there are definitely issues to sort out: "A social media blackout is needed when watching so-called live sport. The poor TV networks just can't win when it comes to sport. They regularly get canned for cutting away from the action to screen ads. But Sunday's Bathurst 1000 race was so tight that Seven claims it didn't want to risk missing too much of the action. Instead, the network started pausing the coverage to drop in ad breaks. As a result, the broadcast was almost half an hour behind the race by the time the cars crossed the finish line. […] Rather than treat viewers like idiots, perhaps the networks should start treating them like a precious commodity that will dry up if not handled with care. This means being honest when live sport isn't really live."

Erika Krause (* 4. Juli 1924 in Singen (Hohentwiel) als Erika Ernst; † 2. Februar 2017 in Rangsdorf) war eine deutsche Moderatorin, Quizmasterin und Buchautorin.

Werdegang
Die gelernte Kindergärtnerin war zunächst 1943 im "Erntekindergarten" Herzogswalde tätig, danach bis 19. April 1945 Leiterin des Kindergartens in Wilsdruff. Dort trat sie bereits auch als Leiterin  einer Laienspielgruppe in Erscheinung. Bei Märchenaufführungen, für welche sie auch die Bühnenbilder schuf oder künstlerischem Schattenspiel, bei dem sie mittels selbst gefertigter Figuren z. B. Szenen aus Frau Holle an der weißen Wand entstehen ließ, konnte sie Zeugnis von ihrem "großen Talent" ablegen. Nach Kriegsende moderierte sie zunächst die Veranstaltungsreihen Was ihr wollt (1947), Nächte in Shanghai (1947), Kinderball im Weltenall (ab 1958) und Wie du mir – so ich dir (ab 1963). Nachdem der in der Kongresshalle stattfindende Schülerwettstreit Kinderball im Weltenall im Deutschen Fernsehfunk übertragen wurde, begann ihre Karriere als Quizmasterin.

Ab dem 27. Oktober 1968 moderierte sie die von ihr erdachte Ratgebersendung Du und Dein Garten im Deutschen Fernsehfunk. In der Sendung gab Krause zahlreiche Tipps für Kleingärtner. Sie erfreute sich in der DDR großer Beliebtheit und erreichte Einschaltquoten von bis zu 30 %. Zweimal wurde sie mit dem Publikumspreis Fernsehliebling ausgezeichnet. Die Sendung, von der in 35 Jahren insgesamt 483 Folgen entstanden, wurde nach der Wende bis zum Dezember 2003 beim ORB fortgeführt. In den 1990er Jahren verfasste Krause auch einige Ratgeber-Bücher für Hobbygärtner.

Zwischen 1996 und 2000 moderierte Krause die Sendung Einfach genial im MDR. Außerdem moderierte sie Veranstaltungen auf der agra in ihrem langjährigen Wohnort Markkleeberg.

2004 ging sie in den Ruhestand. Kurz darauf wurde bei ihr Alzheimer diagnostiziert. Seither lebte sie am Zeuthener See bei Berlin in einem Pflegeheim. Am 2. Februar 2017 starb sie im Alter von 92 Jahren. Erika Krause fand ihre letzte Ruhe auf dem Waldfriedhof Berlin-Oberschöneweide.

Bringing fresh-hop beer into Oregon is like carrying brown ale to Newcastle. With something like 41 wet-hop beers on offer around the state this year, there's no shortage of homegrown product. Nevertheless, Sierra Nevada works a couple of interesting angles: an off-season Harvest Ale with hops from New Zealand, and the Chico Estate Harvest Ale, with hops grown on the brewery premises.
Sierra Nevada's fresh-hop ales haven't impressed me yet, though the Chico Estate is the best so far. It's a fairly malty pale ale, with a long, pleasant bitterness. It has a faint green hop aroma -- which I find to be totally missing in SN's other two Harvest variants -- but not enough to convince a spoiled Portlander. And it's not just a bottled vs. draft issue -- bottles of Deschutes' Hop Trip get the flavor right, as do bottles of Hale's Harvest Ale. I'm not sure why they're not able to capture it in Chico.
Pity. I eagerly awaited the arrival of Chico Estate when I heard it would be bottled this year. I had gotten a taste of last years' at the Portland Holiday Ale Festival (they called it 20th Street Ale at the time), and found it better than the ordinary Sierra Nevada Harvest. I got even more excited when I read a review last week that said this year's bottled version tasted "green" -- hey, that's how I describe these things. But it's not how I'd describe Chico Estate. I think I'll stick to Oregon beers -- and that tasty Hale's -- for the rest of fresh-hop season.
i just got back from the GABF this weekend and heard about Sierra Nevada doing a vertical tasting of their Celebration Ale here in PDX. Any word on when and where?
Mr. Foyston wrote last year about one at Woodstock Wine and Deli. Maybe they're doing it again?
Damn, I'm going to have to get up there in the fall sometime. I just had a bottle of the Sierra Nevada Harvest and thought it was sublime; if Oregon's are better, that has my mouth watering just thinking about it.
Lee, the last couple of years they have done a set of 3 Fresh Hop festivals around the state on Saturdays in October. So your best bet would be to come out for one of those.
And yes, I can think of 10 Oregon fresh hop beers that blow SN Harvest away.
Karen: I just read in Beer Northwest that Woodstock Wine and Deli will indeed have a Celebration vertical, on Nov. 1, 2008. Seven years' worth!


Using a comparative ecological approach, over the course of 18 days at the transition from a particularly wet to dry season in 2010, I assessed herpetofaunal assemblages and related abiotic parameters (i.e., photosynthetically active radiation, specific conductance, temperature and coarse woody debris) between contiguous forest and human impacted areas along three paired transects across the steep elevation gradient at Laguna de Cube, Ramsar site # 1143. Visual encounter surveys were used to capture herpetofauna with species being processed (e.g., weight, digit length, photographed) and identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible. After evaluating transect data for pooling (i.e., no significant difference in abiotic parameters relative to elevation or land cover, hypotheses were evaluated statistically using Chi Square and Kruskal Wallis, and adjusted for multiple comparisons, with an a priori alpha; 0.10. I depart from convention due to the rarity of the region and accelerating human impacts. A total of 37 species (22 amphibians and 15 reptiles) were captured over 144 hours of direct sampling representative of day and night (n=4), 28 of which are newly described for Laguna de Cube, with three that have IUCN status of near threatened or endangered . As hypothesized, species richness and diversity were significantly greater in the forest than in impacted habitats [i.e., 30 forested versus 21 impacted species; Chi2;2 (2, N = 68) = 46.267, p = 8.9809E-11]. Similarly, abiotic conditions differed significantly by land cover with human impact exceeding forest analogs in 8 of 13 parameters (e.g., PAR; TopF v. TopI= , H = 27.6 df = 5, p = 0.005075) , while forests had significantly greater coarse woody debris [i.e., CWDF = 150,731.97 kg/ha v. CWDI = 47,819.97 kg/ha; Chi2;2 (1, N = 198,550.97) = 135.26, p = 2.897E-31]. Of the species collected several may serve as indicators of biotic integrity with H. pellucens serving as an indicator of degraded human modified land cover occurring in all of the 3 human impact transects and occurring at all elevations. Additionally, I observed morphological anomalies possibly indicative of anthropogenic habitat pollutants, with a majority of these species occurring in impacted environments routinely sprayed with pesticides. Conversely, several species may serve as indicators of native habitat affinity including E. boulengeri and H. fallaciosus both of which are described as forest obligates with risk of extirpation due to forest conversion. It should be noted that four species are not yet identified. When compared to similar herpetofaunal studies (n=6), my richness and diversity estimates meet or exceed those in the primary literature in five of the six comparisons.

Military medals are something to be proud of. So is being a parent. It's understandable that it occurs to many military and ex-military service people to pass a bit of that heritage on to their children. While toddlers and preschoolers might be a bit young to understand and appreciate the gift of your military medals, you can certainly show them to your child at that age and try to explain in words the child can understand why you got that medal. It's also a good time to plan how you'll give your medal to your child when it is the right time.
Earning military medals takes a good deal of work and commitment. It's only natural that you should want to share something that means so much with the person that means so much to you — your child. Giving your military medals to your child can start a new family tradition. Who knows? The medals you give your child from your service could end up in your great-grandchild's possession someday.
Although your medals are, of course, yours to give away or do with what you will, consider holding off giving them to your child until he's a little older. A toddler or preschooler likely won't understand the significance of the medals or the care with which they should be treated. If you really feel the need to gift them when your children are very young, consider putting them in a small display case and hanging them in your child's room, up high where little inquisitive hands can't reach them. You can also write your child a letter, explaining what the medals are, what it took to achieve them and why you want the child to have them. Even if your kid can't read or understand the sentiments yet, he will have the letter for one day when he can. Another option is to print out a description from the Internet of each medal and enclose that with the both of medals, if you don't have a gift for words yourself.
Whether you want to think about it or not, there is always a chance that you won't be around by the time your preschooler or toddler is old enough to appreciate the gift of your military medals. Of course, you want to live forever so you never miss a bit of your child's life. Sadly, unless science comes up with something soon, it's a fact of life that everyone has an expiration date. Take a deep breath to come to terms with that, and then make arrangements on the off chance that you're not present when your youngster is old enough for such a huge gift. Make a will explaining in detail exactly who you want to get each medal — for instance, if you have several medals and several children, detail in your will who gets what and possibly an explanation, if you want to give one.
To protect your medals until your child is old enough to get them, care for them appropriately. If necessary, clean medals by dipping in acetate and then wiping with a cotton ball. Follow this up with polishing the medals, if you think they need it. Use a silver polish for silver or silver-plated medals. For copper or brass medals, use brass polish. Simply use a cotton swab or cotton ball to gently wipe polish into the medal. Store medals in a box especially made for such a purpose, and keep them in a safe or safe deposit box to ensure the safety of the medals.

It's our favorite time of the year again. With the chill in the air and the smells of holiday foods, we couldn't be more joyful for the things in our lives. But, it's also one of the hardest times to stay on track with healthy eating. Between the stress of traveling and gift shopping, the last thing you want to think about is what you should and shouldn't be eating on diet plans in Springfield Missouri. With family functions and holiday parties around every corner, you begin to get off track and feel that you're just being pulled along for the ride.
Is it possible to make healthy choices during this time of year? Can you truly enjoy the holiday festivities without feeling deprived? Can you stay on track when temptation surrounds you? YES, the answer is yes to all of the above.
The temptation can be overwhelming when you are given an array of foods to choose from. No doubt you're not going to be worrying about just the main meal but also the cakes, cookies, candies and pies that will be available. Do not be afraid. Always start with the things you know you should be eating. Get plenty of protein in foods such as meats and nuts. Don't forget to fill up from the vegetable tray. This can be challenging but if you can start out with healthy foods first, you will likely eat less of the sides and desserts you are trying to stay away from. There is bound to be a healthy option somewhere. Maybe that salad tray that your aunt always brings to the party. If not, bring a healthier dish yourself. This year, you can be the trendsetter and bring the go-to platter everyone is grabbing from.
Watch out for the drinks that are being served. These always tend to take us by surprise. Consider that nice glass of wine, that cup of cocoa by the fire or that delicious homemade eggnog that you have been waiting all year to get your lips on. The carbs and sugars in drinks like this can add up fast. Water, water, and more water! Snag a festive water bottle from Wal-Mart and take it with you! You can always add a lemon or even fresh cranberries to your water for a festive infusion of flavor!
If all else fails brings snacks and drinks with you. Going prepared, especially when you do not know what is being served, is the best way to keep you on track. Packing nuts or a protein bar can keep those cravings away and carrying a water bottle means you always have a drink option.
If you do succumb to holiday temptations and overindulge (as we all have before), there is something you can do: Walk it out!
A study was conducted in 2016 from the University of Otago in New Zealand that showed walking for a short time after a meal can significantly lower blood sugar. Walking for only 10 minutes after a meal that contains a lot of carbohydrates can lower blood sugar by 22%. That's impressive for a short 10-minute walk! You can also swing by Kare Health and Wellness to pick up your bottle of Diaxinol or GlycemaCORE. Both are great tools for carb-control, blood sugar regulation and metabolism boosting. Adding of these supplements to your daily routine can give you the support you need to stay strong and stay in control during the holiday season!
The temptation this time of year can be overwhelming. Don't feel guilty about enjoying a treat but be mindful of how much and what you are eating. We all want a bite of the good stuff, just don't let it consume you. Remember to get moving for 10 minutes after eating. This is your best defense after granny's pecan pie! The choices you make will have effects that are longer lasting than the holiday parties themselves. If you are looking how to lose weight in Springfield Missouri, don't let the holidays set you back. Keep your focus on staying on track through the holidays. Let good choices be the gift you give yourself this holiday season!

Q: Building basic times table via Javascript & HTML I have tried coding a times table, automatically outputting into a HTML table, by Javascript. (I have only just started learning the basics of HTML and Javascript).
Can someone explain why my first attempt below just outputs the entire content into one line?
    var panel = document.getElementById("panel");
var i;
var j;
var myTable;

// Testing it actually prints something
panel.innerHTML += "
 Hello World!
";

//Start the table outside the loops
panel.innerHTML += "
";
//myTable = "
";

//Ten loops for the ten rows
for(i=1; i<11; i++)
{
    //Start each row
    panel.innerHTML += "
";

    //myTable += "
";

    //Ten columns
    for(j=1; j<11; j++)
    {
        //Start table element, print information, end table element
        panel.innerHTML += "" + i + " * " + j + " = " + (i * j) + "	";

        //myTable += "" + i + " * " + j + " = " + (i * j) + "	";

    }
    //End each row
    panel.innerHTML += "
";

    //myTable += "
";

}

//End table
panel.innerHTML += "
";

//myTable += "
";

//document.getElementById("panel").innerHTML = myTable;

But when I do it this way it successfully outputs into a table? (Comments just swapped over).
    //Start the table outside the loops
//panel.innerHTML += "
";
myTable = "
";

//Ten loops for the ten rows
for(i=1; i<11; i++)
{
    //Start each row
    //panel.innerHTML += "
";

    myTable += "
";

    //Ten columns
    for(j=1; j<11; j++)
    {
        //Start table element, print information, end table element
        //panel.innerHTML += "" + i + " * " + j + " = " + (i * j) + "	";

        myTable += "" + i + " * " + j + " = " + (i * j) + "	";

    }
    //End each row
    //panel.innerHTML += "
";

    myTable += "
";

}

//End table
//panel.innerHTML += "
";

myTable += "
";

document.getElementById("panel").innerHTML = myTable;

A: in the first example you are using the += operator on a DOM type. I suspect this isn't supported in the same way the += operator is supported on a string type.
The second example you are using a string type and the operator performs as expected, concatenating, the strings right before you assign it to a the innerHTML.

Yesterday, I had to send in my withdrawal notice from a certain mailing list that I have been a member of for the past few years. The reason why makes me a little sad and frustrated, along with the usual annoyance at suddenly unwanted email.
Instead of Israel, or any topic related to that country, the list owner ran on in each letter for several very long paragraphs about how Obama is not a natural-born American citizen, and how we must all act now to prevent his inauguration. Reading these, the phrase "a mind unhinged" came to my mind.
The only way I could think of to avoid this madness was to take my address off of the list. I now have one less trustworthy news source to follow. Pity.

An Interview With The Nashville-Based Singer-Producer MATTHEW NOTH About His Newest Music As MOODSMITH!
By : Leah
Tag: All Access, All Access Music, All Access Music Group, Artist Interview, Loud, Mantara, Matt Noth, Megan Davies, Moodsmith, Notelle
Allow us to introduce you to Moodsmith!
Moodsmith is singer, producer, and pianist Matthew Noth's R & B leaning electronic project. The name 'Moodsmith' comes from his mission: crafting moods by welding together intricate rhythms and layers of expertly designed melodic synths. This Chicago raised, Nashville based songwriter-musician uses his abundant talent behind the keys and a passion for synthesis as the foundation for his singularly recognizable vocal melodies and lyrics.
He received a BA in English from Belmont University and has performed at a number of Nashville venues. Matt has composed and released several albums & singles, including Wasted Time & Currents in 2018, Far From You (2017), Through The Wormhole (2016) and Mantara (2015). His 2015 track "Loud" with Megan Davies was featured on the popular music publication Earmilk.
Matthew is releasing a single track featuring EDM top liner Notelle in September, as well as some videos of a live piano set. Another Noth vocal-fueled moodsmith track drops next Friday, August 24th.
Learn more about Notelle here: http://www.notellemusic.com/
Here's a track she top-lined on: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2QH237xSFhmfZJHrRulT7U
Learn more about Matthew Noth aka Moodsmith in the following All Access interview:
Where does this interview find you now? What's on tap for the rest of your day?
I've been working on one of my freelance writing jobs today, Monday the 9th. I write curriculum for a non-profit after school program called "Every Monday Matters" that focuses on Social Emotional Learning and personal empowerment… this week's curriculum is 'Be A Problem Solver'… So i'm actually learning some stuff too, haha… its never been my strong suit.
Overall, how do you think 2018 has been treating you and your music career? What has been one goal that you have had this year and how close are you to reaching it?
2018 has been good so far… I've already started and failed a romance, so I got a few good songs out of that. Really though, its been tough. I've been considering to releasing an EP this year but I keep going back and forth between the idea of dropping single individual songs vs. a whole project. When you produce, write, mix and master all your own material, it's very easy to get burnt out on the music. Thankfully I was able to drop two singles and a cover between now and April, and I plan on keeping the music releases coming. I've been getting back to my roots for a "creating it for the love of the music" mindset. I also had a great live show in April, probably my best yet and using equipment I'm only just starting to master (Ableton and Push 2). My goal for this year is to play more shows and to keep releasing music.
Growing up, was music always a big part of your life? Can you recall your first ever musical experience?
Music was always a huge part of my life ever since I can remember. My mom was big on making me and my three older siblings participate in music to some degree, probably because my Grandma on her side was a Jazz singer for many years. I think my first memory of music was sitting with her on the piano bench watching / listening to her play, discounting baby lullabies.
How do you think you and your music have been influenced by your hometown of Chicago and where you live today in Nashville? If you don't think that it has affected you at all, why is that?
I'm of the opinion that every experience, encounter, and environment you find yourself in influences the art that you create—in my case, the music that I write. The biggest factor in Nashville has been the encounters—the sheer number of musically talented folks around here is astounding. There's a great joke around here that you could make several bands using the past week's worth of Uber drivers. I went from writing solely piano / acoustic pop folk when I moved here in 2009 to producing electronic, hip / hop, and learning synthesizers, mostly because of the people I've met and all the things I've learned from them.
I find it interesting that sometimes musicians choose to go by something other than their own name so how did you come up with Moodsmith and why not just go by your own real name?
Moodsmith was coined by one of my production "sensei's"… really just one of my best friends, Roger Rafael, and it basically represents the idea of creating a sonic mood, turning nothing into something. He knows I'm a huge fantasy geek too so using the concept of a blacksmith made sense for me. I met him my Freshman year in college and he had already been making beats under the moniker "The Insurgency" for years. He isn't really involved in music much these days, but I recommend checking his material out if you're into hip hop. He has a track on Lloyd Bank's Cold Corner 2 that kills me. He taught me a ton about production, drum programming, and that turned into several collaborations. I'm toying with the idea of bringing Matt Noth back into the fold, as the name for my singer songwriter material, mostly piano r&b and pop focused material. The piano only Moodsmith releases will be re released under Matt Noth in that scenario.
How would you say that you have grown as a musician over the years and since your 2015 debut collection "Mantara"? What about your sound continues to develop and change over time? What has remained the same about it?
In a word, better. Much, much better, but I think that's the struggle every artist has, looking back on older works and noticing how they could be improved upon. If you keep up the work, you really do get better, year by year. My sound has gotten much more refined, my mixing has gotten better and so has my production, but the core thematic movements in the songwriting has remained relatively constant. I hope that I can continue to release better "debut" albums.
I actually had the pleasure of interviewing Megan Davies (last summer) for All Access who you worked together with on the track "Loud" so I am curious to know how that collaboration came to be and what that experience was like for you?
Ah, I had no idea you interviewed Megan! We went to College together, she's my absolute favorite. When she's not busy being famous we get together for dinner and things, haha. Working with Megan has been one of the great pleasures of my artistic career; we met in a songwriting class in 2010 and have been friends / collaborators ever since. We wrote that song I think in 2013, if you can believe it. Our work together started largely as her contributing female harmonies (her voice as you know, is incredible, and she also happens to be a melodic / musical genius), until I asked her to sing a whole song on the project so I could showcase my female vocal based pop production. It was a fun time, we wrote it in her apartment at the time which felt like a 70s time warp.. Very "that seventies show" vibe.
What can you tell us about some of the new music that you are currently working on? How is it different or similar to anything else that you have released before? Can you talk about a few specific new tracks and how they were written? Where do you generally get the inspiration for your music? Do you find that you are constantly keeping notes for potential songs?
Not just notes, voice memos. Hundreds and hundreds of voice memos. As I mentioned above, I get inspiration for music everywhere. A lot of times it does come from heartbreak, I'll admit that. I minored in Political Science so I'm always paying attention to the news, international affairs, and that definitely influences my writing. I think overall I've become more mature than I was as a writer than when I released Loud. Always writing down little one liners.
What do you think makes for an ideal show for you? What has been a favorite performance of yours so far? Do you have any upcoming shows in Nashville this summer?
I'm nine times out of ten up there alone, so an ideal show for me is when things go smooth. I've got to que the tracks, play keys and sing, it can be a little overwhelming. I take a lot of time on the front end to prepare the different parts of the show. My favorite performance so far was definitely opening for Futexture in April at The Back Corner here in Nashville. The sound at that venue is stellar thanks to the sound guy, who produces under Raga Sutra.
We are currently living through a very trying and politically charged time right now so I am curious to know how your own music is reflecting this time period? If you don't think it is, why is that? Would you say that other musicians are making music that has been influenced by this climate?
There is a big trend in music writing about people coming together. I think it's hard in this day and age to write politically charged music well, that really digs past easily digestible themes. No one wants to step on any toes. It's so easy for lyrics to get misconstrued and taken out of context. For me, this means trying to be more creative with metaphors and imagery in an attempt to subtly get across my opinions. I think there is a building sense of anxiety in the collective conscious, which I think can be in part attributed to the generally negative and hostile climate in America these days. Music therefore has gone both ways–further away from being political and instead used as an escape, (which I don't think is a bad thing) and directly confrontational. Most music listeners are so busy with their day to day that they want music that will help them unwind, that they don't have to work hard to decipher. Hip Hop music is rightfully so the most political genre right now.
Artists like Kendrick Lamar, Aesop Rock, these are just two examples of writers who really cut to the core in painting a sonic picture of this time period. Father John Misty I think is probably one of the most successful political musicians right now. His songs really capture some of the more negative aspects of our culture, and also provide a light level of optimism and hope. He's also an incredible performer. One amazing thing about this future of music is that so many more people have the ability to create and release music, which naturally has led to a wide variety of new topics in music, with ranging levels of politicization.
Who are some of your favorite artists or rather, what musicians have continued to inspire you and your music? Who would you absolutely still love to work with in the future?
So many musicians inspire me; its cliché, but John Mayer has been my day one, and outside his foray into acoustic folk I'm still jamming his new material. My style of music has changed dramatically since 2009, when I was mostly listening to artists like Iron & Wine, Ryan Adams, Coldplay, Jeff Buckley, John Mayer, Nick Drake, Elliot Smith, you know, that sort of sad acoustic vibe. Still big into Jazz even though I don't play kit in a big band anymore. I'm still working through my favorite Pianist's discography, Keith Jarret. From 2009 onward I started really getting into more electronic, experimental, and even classic artists like James Blake, Talking Heads, Toro Y Moi, Brian Eno, Aphex Twin. Right now one of my favorites is Ryuchi Sakamoto, an ambient electronic producer and huge film composer right now (he did the Revenant). I'd DIE to work with Sakamoto, obviously getting John Mayer or Chris Martin (Coldplay) on a beat would be insane, and I haven't mentioned Pharrell yet, but getting in the studio with him would be unreal. There's so many more musicians out there I'd kill to work with.
If you were going to be stranded on a deserted island forever, what musical item would you take with you?
Well if you don't count the amplifier, I'd bring my Nord Stage Ex. Keyboard and synths, all in one.
At the end of the day, what do you hope your fans take away from your music?
I hope they take away a sense of connectedness, comfort; knowing that someone else feels a similar way. Also, I just want them to experience some great vibes from something they haven't heard before.

Step 1. Create a strong site with a compelling brand promise and imagery to back it up.
Step 2. Develop meaningful content—in this case, research focused on the unique features of doing business in California—that gets noticed instead of a steady stream of unremarkable chatter.
Step 3. Leverage promotional (brochure, advertising and a microsite shown) and foundational content across multiple channels (online and in print).
Step 4. Follow your readers. Track analytics.
Step 5. Track results: 67 qualified leads! The press release was viewed 771 times, resulting in nearly 50 inquiries from media outlets and articles in local and industry publications statewide. Web traffic increased 65% in the month after launch. Hoo ha!
Of course the grizzly is California's state animal so it was no stretch to feature a grizzly bear in the firm's advertising for lateral attorneys. The ads are hard to ignore. In fact, among the most faithful readers are recruiters who see the firm out trapping seasoned lawyers on its own.


Alaskans came to the polls in earnest on Election Day, and according to figures from the Alaska Division of Elections, turnout has already beaten 2016 figures, even with thousands of absentee and questioned ballots still to be counted.
That good news is limited: Even with boosted turnout, the proportion of Alaskans participating in the primary is the third-lowest since 1976, when the state began tracking primary election turnout.
"Is turnout dropping? Are people getting more apathetic? Probably," said pollster Ivan Moore, director of Alaska Survey Research.
He said he believes Alaskans — and Americans in general — are beginning to tune out of politics because the national scene has become "like watching a slow-motion car crash" caked with negativity.
"People are starting to hate this stuff. I know I am," he said.
According to figures posted early Wednesday morning, 18.2 percent of Alaska's registered voters cast ballots through 8 p.m. Tuesday, when polls closed statewide. That's already better than the turnout in the 2016 primary election, which had statewide turnout of 17.2 percent when the election was certified in September.
Turnout this year is lower than it was in 2014, when vast interest in the referendum on the oil tax cut known as Senate Bill 21 drove Alaskans to the primary polls. In that year, 39 percent of the state's registered voters cast ballots.
The highest primary turnout was in 1982, the year of two major ballot measures: One dealt with moving the state capital to Willow; the other was a referendum on a fish and game law that divided rural and urban voters. Fully 57.7 percent of Alaskans voted in the primary that year.
This year, with no controversial ballot measures to drive turnout and only one party with a contested primary for governor, Alaskans largely missed the vote. Only the 2000 and 2016 primaries had lower turnout. Even with the addition of questioned and absentee ballots, turnout is not likely to top the 24.6 percent turnout of 1998, which is now the fourth-lowest.
Matt Larkin, a pollster for Dittman Research in Anchorage, said that in the last couple of election cycles, "I definitely think it's been ballot measures" that drove turnout.
In 2014, Alaskans also had a competitive U.S. Senate race to consider in the primary, something that aided turnout.
Historically, he said, primary election turnouts have been lower than general election turnout, particularly in presidential election years.
Larkin also pointed out that the state's recent Permanent Fund Dividend voter program may have lowered voter turnout proportionally.
For example, two years ago, before the program's start, the state had 515,912 registered voters on Aug. 3. This year, on that same date, the state had 567,403 registered voters, even though Alaska's population has declined in the past two years.
It's not clear how many of the newly registered voters cast ballots on Tuesday, but the program was designed to reach people who otherwise might not have an interest in elections.
If this many people had cast ballots in 2016 instead of this year, turnout would have been closer to 20 percent, rather than 18 percent.
Sen. Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, is a member of the state's elections policy task force and was a candidate for lieutenant governor this year.
"It seems like the same people vote, and the same people don't vote," he said, regardless of registration.
In Anchorage, Evan Anderson is the public outreach coordinator for The Alaska Center Education Fund, which performs nonpartisan voter engagement and tries to encourage people to vote.
He said his organization is still trying to figure out why people did or didn't vote on Tuesday. He wonders if it's linked to the difference between Anchorage's municipal elections and statewide elections. Anchorage now conducts its elections by mail. The state doesn't.
"I heard a lot of confusion from voters who expected a ballot by mail and didn't get one," he said.
He also noticed a difference between places with a competitive primary and places without one. In House District 20, which had three Democratic candidates, he found voters generally more informed and engaged than voters in House District 19, which had no competitive House race.
Moore said the state might more closely examine the Anchorage municipal election program, which seems to have boosted turnout there.
"Maybe the state needs to give thought to doing that," he said.

Com) 9410: Kinds of speech that we must refrain from Question: I know theres certain types of speech which we must refrain from. like the speech the Prophet sallalaho alayhe wasalam stayed away from please could you send that to me. Answer: Praise be to Allaah. 53 The Muslim has to control his tongue and not speak unless he says something good. Al-Bukhaari (6018) and Muslim (47) narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever believes in Allaah and the Last Day, let him speak good or else keep silent…" Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "If he wants to speak, then if what he wants to say is good and he is confident that he will be rewarded for it, whether it is obligatory or praiseworthy, then let him speak, but if it does not seem to him that it is good and he will be rewarded for it, then let him refrain from speaking, whether he thinks it is haraam or makrooh or permissible.
It is well known that ingratitude for the blessing of Allaah is minor kufr. But if a person believes that the stars are controlling the universe and they are the ones that cause the rain to fall, then this is major shirk. Minor shirk may sometimes take the form of outward actions, such as wearing talismans, strings, amulets and the like, and other words and deeds. And sometimes it may be hidden, like a little bit of showing off. It may also take the form of beliefs: Such as the belief that something may be a cause of bringing benefit or warding off harm, when Allaah has not made it so; or believing that there is barakah (blessing) in a thing, when Allaah has not made it so.

Built in the mid 1970's as part of the university's expansion, the Concert Hall is the jewel of the Fine Arts Complex which included new facilities for the Art, Music, and Theatre Departments of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. It has a capacity of over 900 seats and is considered by many to be the best acoustical venue in the state of Alaska for non amplified concerts. Since its opening, it has been the resident home of the Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra and the Arctic Chamber Orchestra as well as the home venue for many concerts and recitals produced by the University of Alaska Music Department. It is also host to many visiting lecturers, artists and performers from around the world. Recently, the Hall has been upgraded with handicapped access and seating. On November 4th, 1984, the Fine Arts Concert Hall was renamed the Charles W. Davis Concert Hall. The dedicatory plaque outside the center Box Office reads:
"Charles W. Davis Concert Hall – Named in honor of Charles W. Davis, Professor Emeritus of Music of the University of Alaska – Fairbanks. From his arrival in Fairbanks in 1963 and since his retirement in 1979, Professor Davis has contributed significantly to the musical life of this campus and the Fairbanks community. In recognition of his many artistic and academic contributions, this Concert Hall is named for Charles W. Davis and is dedicated this 4th day of November, 1984."
The Davis Concert Hall houses a pipe organ built for the University of Alaska Fairbanks by the Gress-Miles Organ Company of Princeton, New Jersey. Installed between June 1982 and June 1983, the organ was designed by G. Edgar Gress, Vice President and Tonal Director of the Gress-Miles Company, in consultation with Dr. David Stech of the UAF Music Department. The organ is controlled from a three-manual draw-knob type console constructed of American Walnut with Brazilian Mahogany surrounding the keyboard and stop jamb area. The console controls the valve mechanisms by use of electro-mechanical action with solid state switching. Low wind pressure and classic voicing is used throughout, with a few ranks designed in nineteenth century style. The instrument consists of forty-four ranks (rows of pipes), sixty-six stops and 2471 pipes. The inaugural performance with orchestra occurred on October 23, 1983. The featured work was the Saint-Saens Symphony No.3 in C Minor with the Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gordon Wright and Dave Stech at the console.
