Shuffle the Music Tag
Music is something I should talk about more, and I've got a great opportunity because Ash at For the Love of Books tagged me in the Shuffle the Music Tag!
Here are the rules, although I'm going to modify them a bit:
Thank the person who nominated you for this tag and link to their blog.
Shuffle your entire music library (no matter how old songs the songs are) and talk about the FIRST FIFTEEN* songs that come up (anything like why they are there, if they signify something, any story, why you like them, etc.)
Mention the songs as well as the artists.
Tag 7 people or more to do this tag and please let them know!
*Ash did 20 songs, so I'm doing 20. Also, my library is split between iTunes and Spotify, so I'm going do 10 from each. Long story short, iTunes has a lot of older music I would listen to, some bought, some on CDs from my parents. It's probably also a smaller collection. Spotify, meanwhile, I got more recently and now use frequently, though I think I've mostly saved (and listened to) musicals. So this will be interesting!
1. "The Long Run": The Eagles
This song wasn't on our Eagles greatest hits CD, so I remembered I ended up buying it on iTunes, maybe toward the end of middle school or early high school. The Eagles often sound somewhere between rock and country, and while I don't really listen to the latter, I find the Eagles' songs catchy. "The Long Run" is definitely one of their hits, all about taking a chance on a relationship and seeing what happens.
2. "Daniel": Elton John
As a kid, I resisted my dad trying to get me into Elton John for a long time, but let's be honest, he fits very easily into my musical tastes. "Daniel" became one of my favorites…I realize now it's a pretty sad song about the narrator's brother, a Vietnam vet, but it's just so pleasant and breezy to listen to?
3. "Rent": Rent, film version (Jonathan Larson)
This was the last album I purchased on iTunes before I was hacked and basically lost my account (though I still had the music downloaded on my laptop as I do own it). I actually much prefer the Broadway version because it's less stylized, introduces more characters (not to mention has actual context before it), and has more of an ensemble focus…but overall this has been one of my favorite songs recently. "How do you document real life when real life's getting more like fiction each day?" is basically how I feel watching the news, and I love the lines about trying to focus on the future and escape feelings from the past. Let's be honest: this isn't about the actual rent, but the burdens of society on those looked down upon (Roger can't escape HIV+ and his mistakes that led him to that diagnosis, Collins gets mugged, etc). It's angry and such a rousing opening number; when I saw this live during the 20th anniversary tour, that opening riff's volume took me by surprise and I thought, "Yep, this is a rock musical, all right."
4. "I Have Confidence": The Sound of Music, film version (Rogers & Hammerstein)
Apparently my iTunes does have quite a bit of musicals on it! I've had this CD since my childhood…I was in a (minor) car accident when I was 5 and was mostly worried if this CD, which had been in the car's player, was okay. This movie got me into loving musicals and singing back then and I've never looked back. While I might generally prefer stage productions to movie musicals now, but I still return to this one regularly and it holds up thanks to the wonderful dialogue and performances. "I Have Confidence" is such an empowering song, and a great scene in the movie–even though my dad annoys me with it sometimes.
5. "59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)": Simon & Garfunkel, live Concert in Central Park
The Simon & Garfunkel Concert in Central Park CD from the titular 1981 concert was a regular listen on car trips when I was a kid, and I fell revisited and fell in love with it in early high school, I think (it has a better version of "Sound of Silence" than the original, IMO). The soft rhythms and their lovely harmonizing is certainly present in this carefree song. (Fun fact: my dad was at this concert back then. It was free.)
6. "You Don't Mess Around With Jim": Jim Croce
Clearly there's quite a bit of folk-rock songs in my foundation. While not my favorite Croce song (that would be "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" or "Time in a Bottle"), this is again something introduced to me by my parents' CD collection and radio channels. It's just SO CATCHY and casual with plenty of dropped -g's, humming, lyrics like "ba-da-bee," sort-of monologue, and good advice (don't spit into the wind!). Also this is about some sort of gangster named Jim Wailker, not about Croce himself! This song creates a fully-realized world and legend in less than 3 minutes.
7. "Guinnevere": Crosby, Stills, and Nash (and Young??)
I really got into Crosby, Stills, and Nash (sometimes with Neil Young) during middle school as I discovered my love for soft songs with lovely harmonies. "Guinnevere" is certainly one of them: slow, some parts almost whispered, close harmonies. And yes, it's about comparing a woman to the King Arthur character.
8. "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da": The Beatles
Disclaimer: YouTube didn't have an easy-to-find original version of the song, so instead please have this amusing choir arrangement because I am also choir geek.
The Beatles were another band my parents introduced me as a kid and accompanied us on our long car rides to family. I remember this one fondly, of course, because what kid wouldn't like the nonsensical chorus of this song? And it certainly remains fun. LIFE GOES ON…BRRRAAA!
9. "Katmandu": Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
Another car trip favorite was Bob Seger. This song is heavier than some of his others and so it sticks out…K-K-K-K-Katmandu! Unfortunately, I didn't learn/remember where Katmandu actually is until much later in life. I always thought of it as mountains in the Western U.S. for some reason?
10. "We Go Together": Grease, film soundtrack
I think Grease is kind of a bizarre movie, from the first time I watched it in like middle school to rewatching it this year. But that's another topic, and regardless I've always liked the music, because the 50s style was something I listened to when I was younger. "We Go Together" is definitely one of those I would listen to…I know all the words, and some aren't really "words." One of these days, I will go to an old-fashioned sock hop!
1. "No One Mourns the Wicked": from Wicked (Stephen Schwartz)
So, this is saved because it was initially one of the musicals I intended to listen to when I first got Spotify, as several of my friends really love it. While I know some of the songs, and there's a chance I might have heard snippets of this one somewhere, I still haven't listened to the whole musical and honestly it's so popular that I'll probably see it someday and so I don't feel an urgency to.
2. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For": U2
I know U2 gets a bad rap nowadays, mostly because of their iTunes gift that became difficult to delete because of iTunes' updates (and now they have another new album??), but I really like their older classics like "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." Bono's vocals are great, and the slow build of the instruments leading into a steady melody provides an immersive experience. My favorite version, though, is probably this, a three-part harmony sung by Broadway and Smash stars (though I haven't seen that show) Andy Mientus, Krysta Rodriguez, and Jeremy Jordan.
3. "I Love My Daughter" (But Not In A Creepy Way)" from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Oh, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, how your song parodies make me laugh. This one's from an early first season episode and it definitely helped win me over on the show. Nothing beats Darryl's coming out "Gettin' Bi" song, but he's genuinely one of my favorite characters and any song with him is a gift. This one satirizes common themes and aesthetics in country songs to a cringeworthy but funny effect.
4. "Imitation of Life": R.E.M.
R.E.M. is in that collection of music my dad introduced me to as a kid and that I generally grew up with, but that was mostly limited to their big hits and Automatic for the People (one of my favorite albums). But last year I discovered some of their other work on Spotify, probably because I was searching for more of that '80s-'90s angsty political rock with great vocals like Rent (their album Lifes Rich Pageant was the answer to that). "Imitation of Life" stuck out to me because it's just plain catchy and I would get it stuck in my head, though the central idea of "imitating life" does have plenty of weight to it. (Also I just watched this video for the first time and…what??)
5. "Take A Byte": Janelle Monáe
Surprise, a new, non-musical song! This doesn't happen very much at all. Dirty Computer was actually one of the first albums I really anticipated, mostly because a friend made me listen to the Prince-style catchy "Make Me Feel" when it came out, and I was intruiged by the style of that and the singles that followed, especially as it all made a sci-fi storyline with queer representation. "Take a Byte" isn't one of my favorites on the soundtrack, but the electronic feel at the beginning definitely highlights the technology theme of the story, and it can definitely be read as queer desire in context.
6."Many Meetings": Howard Shore from Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack
The Lord of the Rings music is absolutely memorable and great background music. This track has atmospheric elvish (I think?) singing, and the Hobbiton motif that just reminds me of nature and a sense of belonging/home keeps repeating…it's really beautiful.
7. "Encore: Our Shot": from Spamilton
Although I don't have much of a personal connection to it because it was so popular and I didn't quite come to it on my own, I love Hamilton. What a surprise, I know. But did you know there is an off-Broadway parody? Some of it's great, some is less so, and some of it relies on knowledge of other musicals and actors, but if you love Hamilton it's worth the listen. This track is just a little ending piece to the tune of "My Shot" about how now their voices are shot and they need a drink. Probably what every performer thinks after a show!
8. "Not Too Bad": from Fun Home (Jeanine Tsori & Lis Kron)
So, like Wicked, here's a musical I intended to listen to but still haven't. I've heard some of the songs, but I had to read the book for class last year and I loved it, and I'm just not ready to experience an adaptation of it because what I liked about the graphic novel was so intrinsic to its form and voice. But I've heard it's good. (Also let's be honest, a song from this started playing once and it was too sad I just couldn't listen to it.)
9. "Telekenetic Energy": Chris Tilton, from from Fringe Season 4 soundtrack
I love the TV show Fringe (which, alas, is a subject for another time), and I discovered it has a pretty good score to listen to as background music, so of course I added the albums when I got Spotify. My favorite thing is that most of the titles are puns, including this one! This piece is very tense initially but then evens out (albeit with a heartbeat-like thumping in the background) and grows quieter…definitely like the main character Olivia gaining control of her telekenetic powers! (Maybe. Not sure when this was used specifically.)
10. "I Am Playing Me": from [title of show] (Jeff Bowen)
And here's another musical I haven't listened to, although this one I fully intend to because it's lesser-known and I don't really know the storyline. Apparently it's about the creators of a musical, so it's very meta, which is the kind of stuff I love.
Wow, iTunes went really well with lots of childhood memories and Spotify was…not nearly as expected. I think I tend to save musicals to listen to them later and what I haven't listened to is larger than what I have
I tag…

Review: Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli
Eve @ Twist in the Taile
Ooh this is so cool! I admit, mostly I knew the musical songs on here ahaha. My experience of the Fun Home musical was quite different from the graphic novel but I really loved both? Just, like, in different ways. (And I'm getting to see the musical again in summer when it comes to the UK! I'm so excited!)
Olivia Gennaro
Yeah, I'll definitely see it if I get the chance, I just can't bring myself to the emotional place to listen to it and everything!

Ahhhh I love Janelle Monae, Grease and Crazy Ex-GF 😀 Getting Bi is definitely my favourite song of theirs, followed by I Go To The Zoo, but all of their songs are great haha
"Gettin' Bi" is such an anthem. I also have a soft spot for "I Gave You a UTI"

Each week, we focus on science topics that are in the news and try to bring an educated, balanced discussion to bear on the scientific issues at hand. Panels of expert guests join Science Friday's host, Ira Flatow, a veteran science journalist, to discuss science - and to take questions from listeners during the call-in portion of the program.


This guidance is not intended to replace existing agency protocols in respect of missing children, young runaways or child trafficking but should be read in conjunction with any relevant single or multi-agency procedures.
The Scottish Government launched the NATIONAL MISSING PERSONS FRAMEWORK FOR SCOTLAND on 10 May 2017.
children who are 'missing' from home or care - this can involve a child or young person who has run away from their home or care placement, who has been forced to leave or whose whereabouts are unknown. This may be because they have been the victim of an accident, crime and/or because they have actively left or chosen not to return to place where they are expected.
A child or young person who has run away, and cases where the child or young person have been 'thrown out' by their parents or carers, are both encapsulated within the term 'runaway' (though the individual circumstances and needs of the child or young person may be very different). Children and young people who go missing remain vulnerable from the factors that resulted in them going missing (for example, domestic abuse) as well from the associated risks of being missing (for example, homelessness). The number of children classified as missing is not clear, but extreme cases can result in homelessness and sleeping rough, engaging in crime, drugs and prey to sexual exploitation. Many cases are never reported to police and few ever approach agencies for help.
Young runaways and those 'forced to leave' or thrown out - This can include any child or young person under the age of 16, who is absent from their domicile without the reasonable authority of those responsible for or in charge of them, and who needs a service either to find and return them to that place (where it is safe or in the child's interests to do so), or to keep them safe; ensure an appropriate and proportionate response to their needs; meet statutory obligations.
From 1st April 2011 the above protocol developed by the Fife Child Protection Committee came into effect. You can access the protocol at the link below.
The Police participate in the process of trying to locate young people who are missing and share the view that there is a need for a tiered and managed approach to this process, depending on the level of risk surrounding the absence.
While the majority of responsibilities to trace children missing from care lie with Fife Social Work Service and managers of residential houses within the local authority and independent sector, it is vital that all agencies recognise the importance that young people whom we look after are as safe as possible in placement. The safety of the young person is the main focus at all times. Although this protocol deals with Looked after Children, it focuses specifically on young people missing from residential establishments due to the high number who go missing.
set out the differing responsibilities of Police and Social Work and actions that should be undertaken by each agency.
The main change that will impact on the Police response and subsequent investigation is that residential managers and carers will now work to an agreed period of 'unauthorised absence'.
'Unauthorised absence' is defined as absent for a short period of time and after a careful and thorough risk assessment the absence does not raise concern for their immediate safety or that of the public. In accordance with national guidelines, this period should not exceed 6 hours.
The protocol has contained within it a risk assessment checklist which staff can use to help them assess risk and decide on appropriate courses of action.
The protocol has been adopted by all Local Authority Care Homes and private Care Homes in Fife.
Running away puts children and young people in danger and is often a sign of underlying problems in a child or young person's life. It is associated with a number of short-term risks, including sleeping rough, involvement in crime, sexual exploitation and substance misuse, as well as poorer long-term outcomes in terms of increased levels of homelessness, social exclusion and unemployment.
Children and young people who are in need because they have run away from home may have an immediate need for somewhere safe to stay. Section 38 of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 enables local authorities to provide a short-term refuge in designated or approved establishments and households.
the need to ensure community wellbeing through the reduction of antisocial behaviour.

St Michael's Catholic Academy hosts special Holocaust Memorial
Thursday, 7th February 2019
HOLOCAUST survivor speaks out at a poignant service
A HOLOCAUST survivor has spoken out at a poignant service to remind people to do better, to respect differences and to never again accept discrimination and hate.
Dozens of members of the local community gathered at St Michael's Catholic Academy, Billingham, at a special Holocaust Memorial service organised by the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle Department for Interreligious Relations.
The event, held to mark the atrocities of the Holocaust and other genocides worldwide, included a poignant address by survivor Joanna Millan.
"We need to get away from the idea that people who knew what was going on were mere bystanders," she said.
"People made a conscious decision not to get involved but it is possible to stand up and be counted, so something like this never happens again – it is really, really important.
"Crime and discrimination are getting worse; people don't tolerate difference; but we should respect differences. It's good to be different, we need to think about it and we need to do better."
Joanna, was born Bela Rosenthal, into a Jewish family in Berlin in August 1942. In 1943 her father was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau and killed, just months later she and her mother were sent to the Theresienstadt ghetto in Prague.
"I was separated from my mother and was sent to live with other children," said Joanna.
"My mother contracted TB and died leaving me orphaned and alone. Some of the women in the kitchens would take pity on the orphans and bring us food but no one really looked after us, all we had was each other."
In 1945 The Red Cross took over control of the camp and Bela was liberated by the Russians. She was flown to England with five other orphans and was eventually adopted by a Jewish couple living in London. Her name was changed to Joanna and she was brought up with a new identity and urged not to talk about the past.
"It has taken me most of my adult life to piece together my early years," she said. "If it's one thing I am grateful to the Germans for it was their meticulous record keeping and through the internet I have managed to trace surviving relatives on both my mothers and fathers side of the family.
"History gets distorted, but history is important, we must continue to talk about what happened and we must never forget."
The memorial service opened with a welcome from St Michael's head of school Andrew Ramsey and a reading of the poem 'First They Came', from head boy and girl Gareth Drysdale, and Elin Gittus.
Mrs Deanna Van Der Velde, from The Anne Frank Trust read the poem 'Leaving' by Jane Spiro with Mrs Kim Johnson on the harp.
Former St Michael's pupil Niamh Casey-Burnett gave a vocal performance of Oyfen Pripetshik, sung in Yiddish, before candles were lit to symbolize the millions murdered in the Holocaust and other genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, Bosnia and Darfur along with those affected by the on-going conflict in Syria.
Candles and painted pebbles, with the name of Holocaust victims, were then laid at a specially commissioned corten metal sculpture of The Star of David, in the school's memorial garden, created by North Yorkshire artist Eddie Roberts. The surrounding wall and base for the sculpture was funded by the generosity of two year 11 parents.
Assistant principal Marc Scott said: "The sculpture, which was kindly donated to our school, will be a lasting legacy and reminder of the Holocaust for the whole community. It was truly an honour to be chosen to host this year's memorial."

Made In China — more cyberwar, with satellites
Posted in Cyberterrorism, Made in China at 4:10 pm by George Smith
Three years ago US Landsat satellites were diddled.
A piece at GovExec explains the events at length. And China gets most of the blame although I was unwilling to go quite that far:
China may have been flaunting its scientific capabilities by meddling with U.S. Earth observation satellites in past years, according to space and computer security experts.
Two unusual incidents involving signals targeting a U.S. Geological Survey satellite in 2007 and 2008 were referred to the Defense Department for investigation, USGS officials said Monday. NASA also experienced two "suspicious events" with a Terra observational satellite in 2008, officials at the space agency confirmed. An annual report from the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission slated for release Nov. 16 is expected to characterize the events as successful interferences that may be linked to the Chinese government.
"I would say they were demonstrating the science and technology to be able to see what they could gain from it," said Charles Vick, a senior analyst at GlobalSecurity.org who has been briefed on other government reports about China's cyber skills. "To a degree one would think that [getting caught] was part of the mentality. It's a warning. We could do this and a few other things."
Since the event appears to have been trivial and is now three years old — AND is being publicized at a time when budget-cutting fever is in, I explained to the journalist one of the potential reasons were finding out about it.
Ammo for rationalizations on positive cyberwar/cyberdefense spending. Which readers know is always in vogue.
The journalist agreed this was one sound explanation and nicely addressed it near the end of the piece:
As hackers target U.S. computers with increasing intensity and frequency, the White House on Friday took the unusual step of asking Congress to pass stalled cybersecurity legislation. At first the Obama administration was the slow actor, taking a year to tell Congress which pending measures the president would enact. Now, with pressure to pass other bills, including a Dec. 23 deadline for deficit reduction legislation, the House and Senate are unlikely to agree on comprehensive reforms this year, experts say.
Obama cyber czar Howard Schmidt on Friday tried to light a fire, writing on the White House blog, "Unfortunately, time is not on our side. Since the White House delivered the administration's proposal to Congress, a number of new security breaches have been reported. We need congressional leaders to move forward with a cross-committee and bipartisan approach."
"The time is ripe to make proposal into law, and give the government and private sector the extra tools needed to fight those who would harm us," Schmidt wrote on a White House blog.
Saideth me:
George Smith, a senior fellow at GlobalSecurity.org, said he would be surprised if the Chinese government was behind such sloppy execution, speculating that this may have been practice for a more aggressive attack.
"It would seem unusual to me that they would fiddle with satellites — which gets up the United States' antennae — and then get caught with it," he said. "That doesn't rule out that this was a nation state doing a test run" …
As to why the government is making these sensitive events public now, Smith pointed to the federal government's push for additional cyber defense funding.
Decent article covering all the bases and quoting from a variety of sources on different sides of the line. Read it here.
user_hostile said,
Having previously worked in the industry, my BS detector told me immediately this story was invoked as a means "scare for funding". I am unaware of anyone using the internet as a means of communicating with the satellite. The GEO's and LEO's (military and civilian) I worked with always used leased lines (with backups) as a way of maintaining privacy with respect to Ground Stations. To ensure security when sending commands (to US and oversea up/down link stations) encryption is used. Maybe this has changed, but the industry is really conservative–they have insurance companies who will demand container ships full of documents explaining why this is a good idea.
One hopes they will describe exactly what these agents were up to–but I'm not holding my breath.

De Hofpoort was een van de tien stadspoorten van Rotterdam. De poort stond van het midden van de 14e eeuw tot 1833 tussen het riviertje de Binnenrotte en het kanaal de Delftsche vaart aan het einde van de stadsstraat de Oppert, niet ver van de Delftsche Poort.

Geschiedenis
De poort was genoemd naar het Hof van Wena, maar was er geen onderdeel van. De Hofpoort was aanvankelijk waarschijnlijk een vesttoren die pas later op verzoek van de Heren van Wena werd doorgeslagen om een snelle en veilige verbinding tussen kasteel en stad mogelijk te maken.

Nadat de poort al eens vernieuwd was, werd in 1614 een geheel nieuwe, stenen poort gebouwd. Een valbrug gaf de poort allure en maakte verkeer vanaf de Oppert over de singel, naar buiten de vesting mogelijk. De poort werd afgebroken in 1778.

In 1778 werd een nieuwe decoratieve Hofpoort ontworpen door de architect L.F.Dallon. Aan de voet van de kolossale zuil, die boven op de poort stond, werden vier leeuwenbeelden neergezet, ontworpen door Johannes Keerbergen. De valbrug werd vervangen door een draaibrug zodat de boten er makkelijker doorheen zouden kunnen. Het merkwaardige ontwerp voor de poort is vermoedelijk geïnspireerd op voorbeelden uit een van de vele afleveringen van het Recueil Elémentaire (1757-1780) van de Waalse architectuurtheoreticus Jean-François de Neufforge (), waarin soortgelijke combinaties van een lage onderbouw met een hoge bekronende zuil (of obelisk) voorkomen. Een gerealiseerd voorbeeld bood tot de verwoesting bij de Blitz verwoeste toren van St.John's Horseleydown () (1727-1733) in Londen, gebouwd naar ontwerp van Nicholas Hawksmoor en John James ().

Hofplein
De Hofpoort werd in 1833 afgebroken, hij stond in de weg voor het toenemende verkeer. De zuil werd vernietigd, de vier leeuwenbeelden werden opgeslagen. Het water rondom de Hofpoort werd gedempt en het plein dat zo ontstond werd het Hofpoortplein genoemd, tot 1868. Vanaf die datum werd het plein Hofplein genoemd. In 1860 kregen de leeuwen hun nieuwe plaats als wachters naast de Koningsbrug over de Oude Haven. Die brug heet ook wel de Vierleeuwenbrug.

Williams' New Trans-Continental Map of the Pacific R.R. and Routes of Overland Travel to Colorado, Nebraska, the Black Hills, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, California and the Pacific Coast
Map, 1877
This tourist map of the Transcontinental Railroad, which names every town along its route, illustrates a unified American nation.
Courtesy Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division
Many Americans had a long-held dream of a transcontinental railroad.
As early as the 1830s, the United States began exploring the idea of building a railroad to connect the country east to west and extending U.S. reach to the Pacific Ocean. This idea was a popular one, with many competing parties, routes, and surveys, which created what seemed to be an insurmountable task of planning, engineering, and construction.
After the southern states left the Union as a result of the American Civil War there was an opportunity to break this gridlock. The U.S. Congress passed the Pacific Railway Act on July 1, 1862. With President Lincoln's signature, the Act dictated that the 41st Parallel or Central Route would be the route selected out of the competing options.
Map of Routes for a Pacific Railroad Compiled to Accompany the Report of the Hon. Jefferson Davis, Sec. of War, In Office of P. R. R. Surveys
All of the surveys for the transcontinental railroad were hastily compiled in 1855. Routes through the Utah Territory included south around the Great Salt Lake, passing through Salt Lake City, and another going through Provo Canyon. The route from Weber Canyon to Brigham City then north of the Great Salt Lake turned out to be the most efficient.

PLAY BACK Phillip - Philip Cu-Unjieng (The Philippine Star) - December 9, 2012 - 12:00am
The two CDs today are by musical masters whose works have accompanied me for over four decades. That they can still churn out relevant music today is testament to their singular vision and musical prowess. I ordered these albums of new material on Amazon. I hope they're released here.
Van Morrison — Born to Sing: No Plan B (Exile/Blue Note). With a music career that dates back to Gloria with Them, Van the Man could be forgiven for resting on his laurels. But lo and behold, at age 66, he's still creating music that's an exhilarating blend of jazz, blues, soul, and rock 'n roll. Going Down to Montecarlo is smooth jazz with the wonderful reference to "phony pseudo jazz," while Pagan Heart is the hot blues number. There's social commentary in End of the Rainbow and Educating Archie. Recorded with a live band, this is Van showing he still has the "stuff."
Donald Fagen — Sunken Condos (Reprise/Warner). The main man of the legendary Steely Dan, this is Fagen back in Dan and Nightfly territory, with a whole lot of funk! Slinky Thing is the funky first track, and the album picks up steam with I'm Not the Same With You, which has a Doctor Wu feel, with harmonica and horns taking the place of the guitar, which ends the hot tune. The syncopated shuffling of New Breed is another highlight, as is the only cover on this CD, the Isaac Hayes tune, Out of the Ghetto. Loved Miss Marlene, and the story-telling tunes, which shine.
With Morrison and Fagen's new albums, there are no surprises, but no disappointment.

"CrossKnowledge nous a beaucoup écouté, ses équipes ont visité nos magasins, ils n'ont pas cherché à faire coller des produits sur étagère à nos problématiques"
Tati was founded in 1948, and is known for its four key areas of expertise: ready-to-wear, household equipment, weddings, and health and beauty. A very unique market profile! Over the years, this retailer has been a competitive player in the low-cost sector. In order to maintain its lead, four years ago, it renovated its image through a "fair cost" concept, the theme for its new strategy. The company now offers products that are not only affordable, but on the cutting edge of fashion.
To support this transformation, Tati called on CrossKnowledge to design an overall certification training program tailored to their needs. It combined digital training, classroom training, and individualized training in the workplace.
To start building a new mind set for its 600 leaders, Ricoh decided to reinforce current leadership training with a much more collaborative and seamless learning experience that could foster creative thinking and boost future leaders. They developed the Leadership Connection, a program bringing together one senior leader with five more junior leaders and managers, in a series of monthly workshops. Prior those workshops, CrossKnowledge content is pushed to participants' inboxes every Monday through Ricoh's 'Thought of the Day', to serve as a basis for discussion.
Once the workshop begins, the participants learn and collaborate using a dedicated learning path and knowledge community, leveraging social learning features with their leader and colleagues. The format of the Leadership Connection program created an imperative for people to go to the learning platform and view the videos, in preparation for their discussion with senior leaders. That helped drive utilization of the platform, and has been a real catalyst for usage of the CrossKnowledge Learning Suite.
"The CrossKnowledge team did a great job of setting up for us 125 different user groups and maintaining discussion in those groups. That allowed people to go in and start engaging in a very different way. Never before did we reach such a high level of collaboration in our learning environment before", says Mark Pagenkopf. "It has really impacted the quality of the learning experience for the better".
Ricoh Americas Corporation also implemented leadership training programs for all its 3,000 managers and, working with CrossKnowledge consultants, mapped the courses to their competency model. That way, managers could view content in the context of the Ricoh competency model, and through a customized learning portal.
Courses were assigned to managers based on individual development plans. Ricoh also pushed out short videos of industry experts to their employees, aligned with some of its corporate transformation themes such as collaboration, communication and change management.
Ricoh wanted to give its managers a different perspective on how to access leadership development tools and resources than it had previously offered. In the past, learning modules had been lengthy and managers had commonly failed to complete two-hour long modules. The legacy learning platform was also failing to attract learners and utilization levels of the platform were unsatisfactory – it was time for a change. "We grasped the opportunity to model some of the transformation that we were expecting of our leaders by transforming our learning and development delivery," says Mark Pagenkopf, Director, Organisation Development.
After an extensive search for learning providers that could help them deliver forward looking and contemporary content, Ricoh selected CrossKnowledge. "As we became more familiar with CrossKnowledge, we were very impressed with their approach, innovation and creativity. The learning experience is much more appealing than what we had before. This really boosts engagement, and encourages content utilization.
Only a month after launching the initiative, change was already underway. Leaders are embracing the possibility of contributing to the future of the company and its business outcome. "This is not all about the numbers of users or the numbers of courses accessed. That is important, but we are more interested seeing our people start to use a common language." Says Mark Pagenkopf. The perception of the organization's strategy has also evolved. Over 3,700 employees have been involved and actively contributing to the company's future with an engagement surging from 10% to 70% in under three months.


Excellent – love the analytics work you did! Facebook is, for most people, its own animal, in the sense that our friends there often span so many different groups and identities.This is why some choose to create a page or similar to separate the personal from the professional there, although I think there is a certain amount of fatigue these days about liking pages.

Iraqi council OKs bill of rights
By - The Washington Times - Tuesday, March 2, 2004
BAGHDAD — A bill of rights with clearly defined protections for women, religious groups and ethnic minorities — a rarity in the Arab world — won unanimous backing yesterday from the 25-member Iraqi Governing Council as part of a temporary constitution to take effect when the U.S.-led rule formally ends June 30.
Marathon talks with the U.S.-picked council and American officials, led by chief administrator L. Paul Bremer, reached a final consensus on the constitution at 4:20 a.m.
Report: Trump wants to create new political party
"We got it," Mr. Bremer said yesterday, paraphrasing his statement, "We got him," when announcing in December that Saddam Hussein had been caught.
Members of the council, who are to sign the document at a ceremony tomorrow, called it a turning point in Iraq's history and perhaps in the entire Middle East.
"We won the battle against dictatorship, and today, we took the first step on the path of freedom and democracy," said Younadem Kana, who was chosen to represent Iraq's 1 million-member Christian community and was the only non-Muslim member of the council.
"This is the birth of a new Iraq," said council member Mouwafak al-Rabii, a Shi'ite Muslim physician, author and human rights activist.
The document, known as the "fundamental law," is to serve as an interim constitution until an elected legislature is in place and able to write a permanent one.
• Recognition of Islam as "a source" — instead of "the source" of Iraqi law, implying but not explicitly saying other sources exist.
• A call for a legislature with at least 25 percent women, not with direct quotas, but by requiring undefined future legislation that would make the 25 percent goal a tough target to miss.
• Permission for the Kurds to maintain their militia, a force of about 50,000 that battled Saddam and aided U.S. forces, while bringing them under nominal control of a central government in Baghdad.
• A bill of rights guaranteeing freedom of speech, assembly, religion and due process.
• A ban on any measure that is contrary to Islam.
Council members spoke of the end product as a remarkable compromise, especially given the post-Saddam assertiveness of Iraq's fractious ethnic and religious groups.
"That's our understanding of democracy: rule of the majority but guarantees for the minority as well," said council member Mahmoud Othman, who represents the Kurdish Socialist Party.
In Washington, the Bush administration praised the measure.
"This is a major achievement, only a day late, which I think is terrific," Secretary of State Colin L. Powell told CBS in Washington.
For the Bush administration, which is determined to make Iraq a platform to introduce democracy in the Middle East, the draft illustrates its vision of popular rule in a region dominated by kings and strongmen presidents.
It also marks a milestone in U.S. plans to transfer power to an undefined Iraqi government on June 30. When that happens, the convention center in downtown Baghdad will change from the U.S. military headquarters to the largest U.S. Embassy in the world.
In describing the scope of the document, the official said, "This is for a society that has been tortured and devastated for 35 years by an authoritarian system that shares the company of the Nazis, the Third Reich and the Stalin regime.
"To suddenly be presented with this incredible progress in a bill of rights that protects every individual regardless of their ethnicity — regardless of their gender, their religion, their socio-economic status — we believe the Iraqi people will embrace it," the official said.
The bulk of the negotiating was among factions in the Iraqi council — a body appointed by the U.S.-led coalition to reflect Iraq's ethnic and religious mix.
It included 13 Shi'ites, some who are secular and others who are from Islamist parties that had sought to make Iraq an Islamic state similar to Iran. The Shi'ites, concentrated in southern Iraq, account for up to 60 percent of Iraq's 25 million people.
The other 12 seats were divided among Sunni Muslims and Kurds, with one seat held by an Assyrian Christian and another by a member of the Turkmen minority.
Throughout the negotiations, Iraqi council members said, the United States had set clear parameters, as evidenced by Washington's objections to an Islamic state and its insistence on protecting minorities and giving power to women.
Over Arab objections, it pushed for a federal state on the lines of Canada, Brazil and India, in which provinces and regions would have considerable autonomy.
The Kurdish minority's attempts to expand the territory it has ruled in near total autonomy since 1991 were vetoed by the United States — partly in deference to neighboring Turkey, which opposes any expansion of the Kurdish presence in the region.
But overall, Mr. Othman said he was pleased with the outcome.
"This is a compromise. It doesn't include everything for everybody. It includes some things for everybody.
The new constitution takes effect with the transfer of power on June 30 to an interim government that is to be indirectly elected through a caucus-style system in each of Iraq's 18 provinces.
The document sets a deadline for popular elections of Dec. 31 "if possible" and "no later than" Jan. 31 for voters to choose a national legislature.

October 30, 2008 | Bangalore, India and Palo Alto, California: MetricStream Inc., the market leader in enterprise-wide Governance, Risk, Compliance (GRC) and Quality Management solutions, today announced that the Central Bank of Oman (CBO) has selected the MetricStream solution to automate its business processes related to Audits Management.
The Central Bank of Oman will use the MetricStream solution to manage the complete audit lifecycle including risk-based audit planning and scheduling, development of standard audit plans and checklists, field data collection, development of audit reports and recommendations, review of audit recommendations by auditees and management and implementation of audit recommendations and remediation. The solution's advanced capabilities like built-in remediation workflows, time tracking, email-based notifications and alerts, risk assessment methodologies, and offline functionality for conducting audits at remote field sites allow organizations to implement the industry best practices for efficient audit execution and ensure integration of the audit process with the risk and compliance management system.
The establishment of the Central Bank of Oman in the beginning of 1974 was a natural outcome of the steady evolution of the monetary system in the Sultanate of Oman coupled with the prospects of the vast economic developments the country was about to witness. Until 1970, there was no national authority responsible for the supervision of the incipient banking system. The number of banks was small and the banking activities were limited in scales. The two monetary authorities that preceded the establishment of the Central Bank of Oman, namely the Muscat Currency Authority in 1970 and the Oman Currency Board in 1972, were not vested with full banking status, but, they had well prepared the ground for the emergence of the Central Bank of Oman. However, the major event heralding the eminent creation of the Central Bank of Oman was the launching of the Banking Law in 1974 (which was amended vide Royal Decree No. 114/2000).
The Central Bank of Oman was established in December 1974 and began operations on 1st April 1975. It replaced the Oman Currency Board as the principal currency authority in Oman. The Central Bank of Oman is responsible for maintaining the stability of the national currency the Omani Rial and ensuring monetary and financial stability in a deregulated and open financial system. The capital base of the CBO which was one million Omani Rials at the commencement of operations in 1975, was strengthened over time and since April 2002 has remained at R0300 million. At the end of 2005, CBO's assets/liabilities totalled RO 1826.4 million. The Central Bank of Oman is based in the Sultanate of Oman and can be reached at http://www.cbo-oman.org.

By establishing a committed fund of $12 million, the Board creates assurance that the District can meet the required match to continue implementation of projects in the Schultz/Pipeline Flood Area.
County Board of Supervisors Approve Grant Match
Totaling $12 Million to Secure Federal Funding for
Schultz/Pipeline Flood Mitigation Projects
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — The Coconino County Board of Supervisors (Board) approved the establishment of a new Flood Control District (District) Grant Match Fund at its meeting on January 24, 2023.
In late 2022, Congress approved $50 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to engineer and construct flood mitigation measures in the neighborhoods impacted by post-wildfire flooding from the Pipeline Fire.
The NRCS funding requires match funding by the District/County. The match to $50 million is $12.5 million and staff proposed that the match be made using another federal funding source, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)- Wyden Funds. The County received $6 million in ARPA – Wyden Funds in September 2022 and will receive another $6 million in September 2023.
By establishing a committed fund of $12 million, the Board creates assurance that the District can meet the required match to continue implementation of projects in the Schultz/Pipeline Flood Area. Those projects include work in six flood corridors including Wupatki Trails, Brandis, Peaceful Way, Copeland, Campbell, and Government Tank. Siri Mullaney, the County's Financial Officer, presented this proposal at the Board meeting on January 24.
Later in the afternoon, Lucinda Andreani, Flood Control District Administrator and Coconino County Deputy County Manager, provided an update on the federal funding and requested the Board to consider approving the hiring of a Community Relations Manager for a three-year term to support the District with community engagement and communications during implementation of over $100 million of projects to be pursued over the next three years. The District Board approved the additional position noting that engagement and communications with the impacted communities is critical to successful implementation.
About the Coconino County Flood Control District
The Coconino County Flood Control District (District) is charged with reducing the risk of flood loss; minimizing the impact of floods on human safety, health, and welfare; and restoring and preserving the natural and beneficial values served by floodplains. More information about the District and its activities related to flooding, wildfire, forest restoration, and emergency preparedness is available on the County website at bit.ly/CoconinoCountyFCD.

Putin On The Ritz
Will Putin or won't he?
That's what the U.S., France, Italy, the U.K., and Germany want to know. U.S. intelligence shows that Russia could have enough troops at the Ukraine border to attack in a few months. But they also think Russia's president isn't totally sure what he wants to do. He seems to be getting everything ready to go just in case he decides to invade.
Presidents Biden and Putin video-called for two hours Tuesday, where they talked Iran, ransomware, and–oh yeah–Russia's possible invasion of Ukraine, which the U.S. and European allies want very much not to happen.
A White House statement about the call said that Biden "voiced the deep concerns of the United States and our European Allies about Russia's escalation of forces surrounding Ukraine and made clear that the US and our Allies would respond with strong economic and other measures in the event of military escalation."
Tough talk. But the U.S. is looking at pulling citizens from Ukraine if Russia's just in case turns into a full-blown attack.


This tutorials shows 3 ways how to encode or decode a Base64 String. Prior to Java 8 it was not possible with standard java library so we had to use a 3th party library like Apache Commons-Codec or Google Guava. But since the release of Java 8 there is (Finally) a new java.util.Base64 class introduced.
We compare 3 ways to encode or decode a Base64 string.
When converting String to byte it's a best practice to always provide a java.nio.charset.Charset.
Apache Commons-Codec provides convenient static utility methods Base64.encodeBase64(byte) and Base64.decodeBase64(byte) for converting binary data into Base64 encoded byte arrays.
Google Guava provides convenient static utility methods BaseEncoding.base64().encode(byte) and BaseEncoding.base64().decode(String) for converting binary data into Base64 encoded byte arrays.
After about 20 years we finally have native java support for converting a string to base64 format. Just like the other libraries there are convenient methods to encode a string to a base64 byte array and decode a base64 byte array back to a string.
