Dave Kulju is a multi-instrumentalist hailing from the United States and is a member of the New England band Electrum. Notes in the Margin is Kulju's second solo album and is the follow up to Abstract Expression.
This is the first I have heard of Kulju and listening to Notes in the Margin was a pleasant surprise indeed. Kulju is a talented musician playing a variety of instruments including electric and acoustic guitars, bass guitar, keyboards, guitar synthesizer, sound fx and programming. Frank Basile adds his expertise on the drumkit and Annie Oya provides guest vocals on "A Poet's Talespin". Ian Cameron adds violin on "Know Again". Kulju began working on Notes In The Margin in December, 2007 with the final product finally released this year. The time was well spent as Kulju exhibits a tremendous attention to detail throughout the album's nine tracks. His guitar playing is top notch and clearly emanates from the Dave Gilmour school of guitarists and I mean that as a compliment. While Kulju can play at a faster pace he chooses a more refined approach with languid lead lines that drip with emotion. His guitar rhythms and dynamic lead work give these compositions plenty of texture adding layers to an already rich sound. The music on Notes in the Margin is clearly entrenched in progressive rock in the vein of bands like Pink Floyd and Rush. While his guitar playing is a highlight throughout this CD one cannot overlook his use of keyboards which flesh out the sound rather nicely and are never over bearing.
Lush keyboards and sound effects begin the Floyd-like "Skating on Europa" where spacey soundscapes and edgy guitar rhythms are commonplace. Besides the spacey undercurrent there are also elements of post rock. "Know Again" takes a slightly jazzier approach with spacious guitar rhythms and drumming to match. The music slowly builds becoming more intense as the seconds tick by. Ian Cameron's violin is a nice touch.
For me the albums best song is the multi part epic "A Poet's Talespin", based on two poems by Amanda Joy. The song's theme is that of a poem unfolding from a dream and how a poet can create a totally different world than the one he or she lives in. Melancholic piano melodies with a classical bent and Floydian guitar work is what you will mostly find here. Kulju's lead guitar playing is a highlight as he has a tremendous feel for the instrument demonstrating that sometimes less is more.
The heavy "Get the Hell off my Lawn" is another slice of melodic progressive rock featuring more stellar guitar where the atmospheric rhythms are slightly blurred, again recalling Dave Gilmour. The album ends with the pastoral "Counted the Stars" featuring sound effects over a bed of gently flowing keys.
Kulju has made an excellent sophomore effort with Notes in the Margin. Fans of Gilmour inspired guitar work and melodic progressive rock will surely want this in their collection and I can see this one getting plenty of more spins in the days and months to come.
Very few debut albums have managed to grab my attention in the same way as Dave Kulju's impressive 2007 release Abstract Expression. He originally came to the attention of the DPRP five years earlier as a member of the band Electrum and their album Standard Deviation. In the ensuing years Dave has forged ahead with a solo career resulting in this latest offering Notes In The Margin. Hailing from Rochester in the USA, he is a talented guitarist, composer and producer who also plays' bass and keyboards. So what's new, I hear you ask? Well from Dave's perspective quite a lot. His previous album for the most part occupied retro prog territory whereas Notes In The Margin has a more contemporary feel albeit in a progressive rock context. More importantly he maintains his flair for producing beautifully melodic and structured music with near perfect execution. He is not alone in his endeavours and once again receives solid support from contributors Frank Basile (drums) and Ian Cameron (violins).
Opener Skating On Europa is a powerful statement of intent with a gutsy guitar riff that's both urgent and intense but somehow still melodic reminding me very much of Gazpacho. Given the modern European (as opposed to American) tone the title is very apt although I'm not entirely convinced that there's quite enough variety or development to fully justify it's near 10 minute length. That being said even after repeated plays it's still very much a grower which is always a good sign. Know Again is more laidback to begin with but soon develops into a heraldic main hook (in a Mike Oldfield vein) with Cameron's stirring bowing underpinned by Kulju's searing guitar.
Tracks 3 to 7 combine to produce the 30 minute centrepiece A Poet's Talespin which also contains the albums only vocals courtesy of Annie Oya. Following the tranquil piano overture Half-Slept Moments, her velvet tones lend a folky Iona and early Mostly Autumn ambiance to Soft Collisions. The soaring guitar solo that follows is a real joy with a superb proggy interlude driven by Basile's solid drumming before returning to the plaintiff vocal/piano theme. The Bridge opens with a strident and strangely hypnotic acoustic guitar riff before building slowly with layered guitars and voices to an infectious coda in true prog fashion. I Write has a stately almost orchestral quality courtesy of keys (or is it guitar synth?) that opens out into a sunny but serene vocal melody. Annie's voice is totally captivating here, double tracked for maximum effect. The final segment In The Shadows changes the mood with the introduction of a jangly riff in the style of The Edge (otherwise known as David Howell Evans to his mum) alternating with a sustained wall of sound usually associated with Porcupine Tree and Riverside. The compelling ringing guitar hook blossoms into a melodic and spacious Floydian solo that Mr Gilmour would be proud of before revisiting previous themes to play out.
The two concluding tracks don't quite live up to the majesty of what's gone before although they both have their moments. The splendidly titled Get The Hell Off My Lawn is a mostly heavy rock instrumental that opens out into more expansive and colourful soundscapes. In contrast, the prologue Counted The Stars is a moody, ambient affair with a deep and sombre string sound appropriately described by DK himself as a "Pseudo-tone poem".
Once again I feel Dave Kulju has produced an instantly accessible album that satisfies both the head and the heart. And whilst it builds on the solid foundations of his previous work it demonstrates that as a musician he is not standing still and in the true spirit of progressive rock is prepared to explore different horizons. It also benefits from his wonderfully spacious production, adding that extra polish that music of this quality richly deserves.
C'est fin juin que Dave Kulju, toujours en vacances d'Electrum, a enfin sorti son deuxième album solo. Et le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est que "Notes In The Margin" est aussi diversifié que novateur et remarquablement bien produit. On retrouve de nouveau le batteur Frank Basile, déjà présent sur "Abstract Expression" et le violoniste Ian Cameron sur un titre. Kulju prend toujours en charge la totalité des guitares et des claviers, la basse et les programmations. Cette fois-ci, la surprise vient du fait que l'album n'est pas totalement instrumental. Kulju a composé une grande suite de 30 minutes en 5 parties où figure une chanteuse à la voix angélique, Annie Oya (un nom d'emprunt pour une artiste indépendante qui œuvre d'habitude dans un autre style).
Les influences venues de Rush sont toujours là mais bien digérées et intégrées avec d'autres éléments bien différents. C'est le cas par exemple sur le long morceau d'ouverture "Skating On Europe" avec ses couches de guitares électriques et acoustiques superposées à la façon d'Alex Lifeson et son côté space rock, alternant riffs fiévreux et parties mélodiques éthérées, soutenues par des nappes de claviers orchestrales et un peu de mellotron. Le morceau semble un peu long au départ mais ses variations subtiles se révèlent peu à peu à chaque écoute. "Know Again", une pièce plutôt lente et planante, est peut être plus proche de ce que faisait Electrum sur son second CD, avec des guitares cristallines, soutenues par un orgue, du piano et des nappes orchestrales aux textures abstraites, sans oublier le violon de Ian Cameron, une fusion d'où émanent des échos de Pink Floyd et de Rush comportant plusieurs soli de guitare aériens. Même si Dave est un guitariste très compétent, il ne se sent pas obligé de le prouver sans cesse et sur cet album, ses parties solistes sont peut-être moins fréquentes qu'auparavant. Par contre, il joue davantage de piano et de synthés, alternant sonorités classiques (orgue, mellotron), boucles électroniques, orchestrations de cordes très réalistes et textures plus abstraites.
La grande nouveauté est la présence de la chanteuse Annie Oya sur "A Poet's Talespin", qui dure près de 30 minutes ! Sa voix médium claire, profonde et caressante est une révélation. Le morceau est basé sur un poème d'Amanda Joy. Son introduction mélancolique au piano se fond dans une seconde partie nettement plus contrastée, d'abord menée par le piano seul, bientôt rejoint par la section rythmique sur un rythme lent. Une guitare jouée glissando s'immisce au milieu et la voix d'Annie Oya s'élève sur une superbe mélodie interprétée avec beaucoup de sensibilité. La chanteuse rappelle un peu Mary Fahl (ex-chanteuse d'October Project). Elle ne se limite pas à une seule ligne vocale, ajoutant des harmonies, des mélodies en contrepoint. Cette seconde partie évolue ensuite vers une section un peu plus rock, proche de Rush encore, avec un son réverbéré comme au sein d'une cathédrale. "The Bridge" démarre ensuite en acoustique comme du Led Zep avec une basse ronflante, puis arrivent piano électrique, guitare électrique, synthés vaporeux puis le chant... Une troisième partie bien contrastée. Ensuite, "I Write" est un retour à l'ambiance mélancolique, une sorte d'adagio aux influences classiques comportant des nappes de violons majestueuses, qui laisse place au piano et au chant sur une mélodie déjà évoquée auparavant. Enfin, "In The Shadows" voit la guitare revenir au premier plan avec plusieurs soli lyriques sur cet instrumental planant et lyrique qui fait ressurgir plusieurs thèmes réarrangés.
Après cet énorme pièce, Kulju a voulu surprendre avec le plus bref "Get The Hell Off My Lawn", un morceau nettement plus rock, du moins au début car là aussi, les gros riffs et la rythmique plus véloce sur lesquelles éclate un solo incisif s'adoucissent au centre pendant une section lente et mélodique, sans parler d'harmonies à plusieurs guitares, etc… encore un titre qui n'est pas tout à fait ce qu'il paraît être au début ! Le disque s'achève sur le très court et rêveur "Counted The Stars" où violons et violoncelles virtuels mêlés de bruitages tracent un thème qu'on aurait aimé voir se développer bien davantage.
"Notes In The Margin" possède un atout très intéressant et finalement assez rare : sa grande diversité. Ces influences venues de Rush, de Police aussi bien que du folk et de la musique classique sont inhabituelles. Pas question ici de copier les ténors en vogue du moment comme Spock's Beard ou Porcupine Tree (qui eux-mêmes ont largement puisé l'inspiration chez leurs aînés). Evidemment, Kulju prend le risque de déconcerter l'auditeur, mais l'amateur de rock progressif n'est-il pas très éclectique par définition ? Avec une production impeccable et des arrangements aussi variés, cet album rivalise avec les meilleurs groupes du moment. Inclassable sans doute, mais également plein de classe !
I slutten av juni 2010 slapp multiinstrumentalisten og den tidligere Electrum gitaristen Dave Kulju sin andre soloskive. Electrum var for øvrig et såkalt crossoverprog ensemble fra hamburgernes hjemland. De gav ut to fine plater i form av "Frames Of Mind" fra 1998, og "Standard Deviation" fra 2001 som begge har blitt rosende omtalt. Electrum er stilmessig i nabolaget til artister som for eksempel Rush, Brand X og Bill Bruford, men uten vokalinnslag. På Dave Kuljo sin nye skive er det denne gang antakeligvis til stor glede for mange valgt å bruke vokal. Det er det den engelske vokalisten Annie Oya som står for, og hun er et virkelig godt valg i så måte. Skiva har fem låter hvorav den episke og 30 minutter lange "A Poet`s Tale" skiller seg ut. Nevnte låt er for øvrig basert på den australske poeten Amanda Joy sitt arbeid. De øvrige fire låtene er instrumentale og pent varierte hvorav for eksempel "Skating On Europe" er inspirert av Rush men med en finurlig og lekker utførsel. Låten er også noe spacerockstenket og med fine harmonier. Fabelaktig utført fiolinspilling av Ian Cameron er med å prege den fusionlegerte "Know Again" som er en knallbra låt med mye smakfull gitar. Frank Basile står for tromminga, og gjør så absolutt en meget god jobb, spesielt i kontrast til det å velge å bruke programmerte trommer. Vi tar opp dette fordi denne skiva jo som nevnt er utstyrt med en ekte og virkelige god trommeslager. Albumet er i sin helhet innspilt i Kulju sitt hjemmestudio, og i en slik kontekst er det ofte praktisk og mye billigere å velge programmert rytmikk. Heldigvis er alt at tromming på "Notes In The Margin" ekte saker. Ekte saker er så absolutt dette albumet som klokker inn på såpass mye som 51,22. Det går bra fordi musikken er såpass variert og med nok av fine og spennende stemninger. Den tidligere nevnte episke låten "A Poet`s Tale" er et virkelig høydepunkt. Ikke for det de øvrige låtene er også av meget god kvalitet, og for eksempel på" Get The Hell Off My Lawn" finnes de tøffeste gitar- og bassriffene. Musikken på "Notes In The Margin" gir oss visse assosiasjoner til Thieves Kitchen siste utgivelser, og noen få plasser faktisk også til Opeth. Det er et kvalitetsstempel for oss da nevnte band har levert mye lekkert i dens enere tid. Likevel så lever denne skiva trygt sitt eget liv, og er breddfull med smakfulle, kreative og melodiske partier. Skiva har nesten ikke dødpunkter og det er et meget solid håndverk i alle ledd. Et flott fokus på balanserende elementer og dynamikk gjør at interessen til lytteren alltid opprettholdes, og det gis passelig med rom for flotte solopartier. Vi håper inderlig at progpublikummet trer inn i Kulju sitt ofte behagelige men aldri likegyldige musikalske univers, og ikke ignorerer en flott artist som har flust med talent og låtskriverevner.

Rumor: Suns, Magic have inquired about Knicks' Frank Ntilikina
By Kurt HelinJan 19, 2019, 5:00 PM EDT
Where do the Knicks stand on Frank Ntilikina, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft (taken ahead of Dennis Smith Jr. Zach Collins, and Donovan Mitchell)?
This should tell you all you need to know: The Denver Nuggets decided to cast Emmanuel Mudiay aside and the Knicks traded for him and instantly Mudiay jumped Ntilikina on the depth chart.
Ntilikina has played good defense but unimpressive offense for the Knicks this season and there is a thought from other teams around the league they may try to trade the young European.
A few teams are interested, according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News, but — shocker! — there may be a split in the front office about what to do between president Steve Mills and GM Scott Perry.
Despite the Knicks' clear lack of confidence in Ntilikina, teams have inquired about the 20-year-old, with the Magic and Suns expressing interest, according to a source. And this is where it gets interesting. There seems to be a debate within the Knicks on whether to deal Ntilikina. He was drafted by Mills and has supporters in the front office. But, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, Perry, who took the job after Ntilikina was drafted, recently approached the Atlanta Hawks to gauge whether the team was interested in dealing for the guard (Hawks have Trae Young and weren't interested).
The Suns and Magic both desperately need point guards. However, neither are offering much in trades knowing that come free agency next July there will be better, more established targets — D'Angelo Russell, Terry Rozier, among others.
Ntilikina is a good perimeter defender whose skills could be developed in the right situation into a rotation point guard. Probably. But because the offers will be lowball, the Knicks would essentially just be dumping the No. 8 pick of a season ago, a guy who is only 20 years old. That would be a mistake — if the Knicks can't get decent value back, keep Ntilikina and try to develop him themselves. Point guards take longer to come around in the NBA, maybe Ntilikina will develop into a player the Knicks want to keep.
But the rumors are out there and it's something to keep an eye on.

Unistep is an add-in for Microsoft Visio. During the development of this piece of software I had to solve various little problems. For some I found great help on the Net. I thought some solutions may be of interest for other people interested in developing such software.
Unistep was developed using Visual Studio 2010.
Add the "shim" that will make this add-in autonomous, so it can be deployed.
COM Shim Wizards for VS 2010 (Misha Shneerson) . Great article. Also here you can download the Visual studio template to generate the C++ shim for your project.
Create symbolic links . This is is useful to share among multiple projects in Visual Studio whole folders with source files. No need to li nk individually each file.
Get the strong name public key (sn.exe utility, with Visual Studio). This helps to avoid public references between signed projects.
The first step is to create a new project, of type "Shared add-in" (Template: Other project type, Shared addin). A wizard is activated. Select Microsoft Visio. The result will be an "add-in" template, with a "connect.cs" file which contains the GUID of the new add-in and the first class "connect" with the functions that will be called when the add-in is loaded ("onConnection"...).
The class "Connect" will inherit at generation time the interface Extensibility.IDTExtensibility2. IRibbonExtensibility interface is added to be able to manage the Office ribbon. The ribbon will require the Microsoft.Office.Core library.
At this time you may test that the "onConnection" function is reached when you load the add-in. To load it, I used the method indicated by Misha Schneerson, adding Visio as start project.
In the assembly properties you may enter the GUID, so it will not change when the project is rebuild.
Next step would be to add in the "onConnection" procedure the event.handlers that you will manage.
"visioAppli" is the Visio object obtained through the "onconnection " call.
"visioAppli_documentOpened" is a local procedure that will manage the event.
Depending on your requirements, various events may be taken into account (you see them in Intellisense).
For the Ribbon I created an XML file containing the groups / buttons description. This file is added as a file resource pour le project. Here is an example how the buttons "step back" and "step forward" are described in the ribbon.
You may select the images associated with the controls in Microsoft Office Icons (ImageMSO) Gallery & Extraction. "cback..;" are calback routines in the "connect" class that perform required actions.
These callbacks are entered with the name of the control, so we can choose the action depending on the button.
Here this procedure gets the Unistep Ribbon (a file declared as resource).
With this framework in place, you are set to develop the required functions. You can test your add-in with the Visual Studio debugger.
When you start the Office application, in the add-in list you will see your add-in loaded (well, when it does not crash any more). It will be shown as loaded by "mscorlib.dll".
When it runs OK, it's time to add the shim, to isolate it in production.
When you launch this wizzard, you have to target the original add-in dll (that you generated in the phase 1). The wizzard will generate two projects, ManagedAggregator and "xxxShim" (well, this is the name you choose).
In the final solution you will have to include the two projects generated by this shim : "ManagedAggregator" and the new "xxxShim" as generated.
When you launch the office application, you can check that your add-in is loaded as "xxxshim.dll" and not as mscorlib.dll.
If this is not the case, you may find that the add-in was deactivated by office, or not properly loaded. Visual Studio unregisters the old instance and registers the new one, so a rebuild usually solves this situation.
When you try to deploy the add-in with the installer on a naked machine, it may not run... Usually this is due to some missing dll's in the installer. A very effective debug solution on the target machine is to use the FusLogViewer (fuslogvw.exe) that shows the dll loaded (and most important the missing ones) in your Office session.
To insure customers, I digitally signed the Unistep deployment modules. I used a certificate bought through Ksoftware from Commodo. The nice extra from Ksoftware is tool called "ksign" that eases the signature process. It has a command mode that may be activated through the "PostBuildEvent" of the setup process, so the signature is automatic.
To manage in Vs2010 files from other projects, I used a very effective solution: symbolic folder redirection. This enables create new projects in Visual studio that point to folders with files from other projects. This avoids to copy or set links individually for multiple files in Visual Studio.
For the C++ shim is is useful to sign the project with a strong key (local one).
If you signed the project, you must indicate the public key to activate this visibility. To get the public key (this is not the password that protects your .pfx key!), you may use the sn.exe utility (see link at the top).
So, I wish you success in developing Office add-ins!
And last, but not least, a big thanks to Xtreeme.com for the DHTML menu creator used on this site.

Minna Irving in "Betsy's Battle Flag"
We do not consecrate the flag by punishing its desecration, for in doing so we dilute the freedom that this cherished emblem represents.
the worlds' longest undefended border.
I am worshipped — I am saluted.
I am loved — I am revered.
I am respected — and I am feared.
for more then 200 years.
I've served in battle — it hurts.
But I shall overcome — for I am strong.
the uncharted frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.
fallen son or daughter, I am proud.
MY NAME IS OLD GLORY. LONG MAY I WAVE.
We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile. We have room for but one language here and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a pollyglot [sic] boarding house; and we have room for but one, soul [sic] loyalty, and that loyalty is to the American people.
This flag, which we honor and under which we serve, is the emblem of our unity, our power, our thought and purpose as a nation. It has no other character than that which we give it from generation to generation. The choices are ours. It floats in majestic silence above the hosts that execute those choices, whether in peace or in war. And yet, though silent, it speaks to us — speaks to us of the past, or the men and women who went before us, and of the records they wrote upon it.
"I am not certain if I can; At least I'll gladly try."
For the red, the white and the blue.
Said Betsy Ross to Washington, "Your country's flag behold!"
And through his tear-dimmed eyes he saw the stars and stripes unfold.
Then to his breast he clasped it, and looked to heaven above.
"Oh may it ever stand," he cried, "For rights and truth and love."
Julia Ward Howe in "The Flag"
'gainst tyrants its symbols know.
Her sewing was very,very, fine.
To order a brand new flag.
Six white stripes and seven pretty red ones.
'Twas the first flag our country ever floated.
But now I think I've had enough of antiquated things.
So it's home again, and home again, America for me!
But when it comes to living there is no place like home.
In the friendly western woodland where Nature has her way!
The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back.
We love our land for what she is and what she is to be.
Oh, it's home again, and home again, America for me!
Proud emblem of the free!
Oh flag for which men labor!
Oh flag for which men die!
I just really wonder, during the last war, you know, what business did it have on the news sets to have the American flag flying in the background? I mean it was like the news media covered the Iraq War, at least at the begining of it, almost like it was a football game with us vs. them.
Like our own red, white and blue.
It's stripes and it's bright stars too.
Lucy Larcom in "The Flag"
The symbol of our national life.
Written for his 1906 stage musical "George Washington, Jr." It was the first song from a musical to sell over a million copies of sheet music. Cohan tells of an encounter with a veteran of the battle of Gettysburg. The vet held a carefully folded but ragged old flag and said to Cohan, "She's a grand old rag." Cohan's original title was, in fact, "You're a Grand Old Rag." But he changed it after people objected to calling the flag a "rag" — losing a punchy rhyme for the first lines of his song, however!
The flag is a symbol of the government.
Americans revere their flag as a symbol of the Nation. Indeed, it is because of that reverence that the amendment is under consideration. Few countries in the world would think of amending their Constitution for the purpose of protecting such a symbol.... If they are destroying a flag that belongs to someone else, that's a prosecutable crime. If it is a flag they own, I really don't want to amend the Constitution to prosecute someone for foolishly desecrating their own property. We should condemn them and pity them instead.
Hello. Remember me? Some people call me Old Glory, others call me the Star Spangled Banner, but whatever they call me, I am your flag, the flag of the United States of America.
Something has been bothering me, so I thought I might talk it over with you — because it is about you and me.
I remember some time ago, people would line up on both side of the street to watch the parade, and naturally I was leading every one, proudly waving in the breeze.
When your Daddy saw me coming, he immediately removed his hat and placed it against his left shoulder so that his hand was directly over his heart — remember?
And you, I remember, were standing there, straight as a soldier. You didn't have a hat, but you were giving the right salute. Remember your little sister? Not to be outdone, she was saluting the same as you with her right hand over her heart — remember?
What happened? I'm still the same old flag. Oh, I've added a few more stars since you were a boy, and a lot more blood has been shed since those parades of long ago.
But now, somehow I don't feel as proud as I used to feel. When I come down the street, you just stand there with your hands in your pockets. You may give me a small glance, and then you look away. I see children running around you shouting; they don't seem to know who I am.
I saw one man take his hat off, then he looked around, and when he didn't see anybody else take off his hat, he quickly put his on again.
Is it a sin to be patriotic today? Have you forgotten what I stand for, and where I have been? Anzio, Guadalcanal, Korea and Vietnam!
Take a look at the memorial honor rolls, and see the names of those patriotic Americans who gave their lives to keep this republic free. When you salute me, you are actually saluting them!
So when you see me, please stand straight and place your hand over your heart, and I'll know that you remembered. I'll salute you by waving back!
"Patriotism comes from the heart. Patriotism is voluntary... A patriot shows their patriotism through their actions, by their choice."
If the flag needs protection at all, it needs protection from members of Congress who value the symbol more than the freedoms that the flag represents.
The emblem of equal rights. It means free hands, free lips, self-government, and the sovereignty of the individual.
Our flag is our national ensign, pure and simple, behold it! Listen to it! Every star has a tongue, every stripe is articulate.
You can't appreciate home till you've left it, money till it's spent, your wife until she's joined a woman's club, nor Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on a shanty of a consul in a foreign town.
Henry Miller in "The Air-Conditioned Nightmare"
We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it it means danger, revolution, anarchy.
Oliver Wendell Holmes in "Old Ironsides"
That banner in the sky.
Abraham Coles in "The Microcosm and Other Poems"
To all the winds Our Country's Banner!
Displayed in full and glorious manner!
A visitor from Holland was chatting with his American friend and was jokingly explaining about the red, white and blue in the Netherlands flag. "Our flag symbolizes our taxes," he said. "We get red when we talk about them, white when we get our tax bill, and blue after we pay them." "That's the same with us," the American said, "only we see stars, too."
We have a place, all of us, in a long story ... The story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom. ... It is the American story; a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.
Talk about the flag or drugs or crime (never about race or class or justice) and follow the yellow brick road to the wonderful land of "consensus." In place of honest argument among consenting adults the politicians substitute a lullaby for frightened children: the pretense that conflict doesn't really exist, that we have achieved the blessed state in which...we no longer need politics.
Our flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow — red, yellow, brown, black and white — and we're all precious in God's sight.
John Greenleaf Whittier in "Barbara Frietchie"
Live in the colors to stand or fall.
Hats off! The flag is passing by!
It seems like the less a statesman amounts to, the more he loves the flag.
A person gets from a symbol the meaning he puts into it.


Basheer's life is as restless as his prose. His stirrings for revolution began from a young age. He left high school to join the freedom movement. He went to Malabar to take part in the Salt Satyagraha. He was imprisoned, promptly, even before he could participate. His inclination landed him in jail for three months. He was released in 1931, after the Gandhi-Irwin Pact. He continued to support the freedom struggle and edited a revolutionary journal. When a warrant was issued for his arrest, he left Kerala.
His flight from Kerala marks the beginning of a unique, Sufi-esque journey of discovery. He traveled throughout China and Africa, across the length and breadth of the pre-Indian nation. He wandered for years, keeping starvation at bay by working a variety of odd jobs. He worked as a daily wage laborer, a cook and a newspaper man. He lived with Hindu ascetics and Sufi mystics – following their customs and practices.
He returned to Kerala in the mid-30s. Here, Basheer came to writing in desperation. After years of trying to find a steady job, he walked into the office of a small newspaper. It was a poorly funded one-man operation that promised to pay Basheer for a story. His first story was a path breaking romantic fiction, Ente Thankam (My Precious). Its unconventional female protagonist was a hunchback.
Basheer continued to write prolifically. He authored several novels and countless short stories. Most popular amongst these are Balyakalasakhi (My Childhood Friend) – a tragic tale of childhood love, Shabdangal (Sounds) – a story of the life of a World War-II soldier, Mathilukal (Walls) – about love that blossoms between two prisoners who never see each other, Janmadinam (Birthday) – narrates the difficulties of a young man while trying to eat on his birthday and Anargha Nimisham (The Limitless Instant) – a collection of short stories that deal with philosophy and spirituality. The first piece of The Limitless Instant is a prose poem of the same name that speaks of self-annihilation that can be interpreted equally as a Sufi/Bhakti description of love/longing for God or a romantic description for longing for another person. It is translated below.
From the fact of you and me, in the end, you alone will remain. You alone.
The time for travel has approached very near.
Like a monsoon cloud on the verge of rain, this sobbing memory bursts from my inner-soul.
My friends do not know of this condition. Sometime somewhere they approach me; they push me to spin tales to make them laugh.
For their sake, I tell a tale of some kind or the other. I am laughing with them. They do not hear the din of the pain within my laughter.
Here I am going to fuse into oblivion.
An unimportant event. Or of the utmost importance? Something … happened–is that important? No matter what, I am the limitless instant between the two. A past tense tucked into the hem of the present tense.
There are so many who scattered. So many have already gone.
The countless millions who went before me–Memory aimlessly heads to touch the beginning. Beginning…!
It is as though I have merged into the unknowable border of vastness, mystery. There, a din..The endless endless chaos of primordial stirring.
All these years, with limitless compassion, you loved me. You tolerated me. You know everything about me. I am like an light novel you can effortlessly read again?
For me you remain a great secret.
Even after all these years … I was not able to learn anything about you. I loved you without knowing you. Without knowing, I hated you. Knowing fully well, did I cause you pain?
Even still, even still you loved me.Tolerated me.
I have also told you many secrets. And you have seen all my actions. Will you make me an object of ridicule?
You must understand it is because I loved you. When did you and I meet? Did we meet? I tried. In the end, I only learned to love. No. If only I could learn properly one more time. Ignorance. I did not know anything of significance.
Just like I came, I am returning alone.
The time for travel has approached very very near.
Close to two decades after his death (he died on July 5, 1994) and three decades since he was awarded a Padma Shree by the Indian Government, Basheer stands as a towering figure of critical insight – both for Keralites and for Indians in general. His writings have been translated into numerous languages and inspired innumerable plays and films. His writings and the struggles they emerged from speak to the various hopes and challenges that forged the Indian nation during the early part of the century. His observations and his clinical cynicism coupled with his faith in fundamental values are perhaps far more valuable today than ever before. His message seems vital: while we cannot lose hope in the the fundamental truth of human equality, we must always stand as careful observers to the insanities and injustices of the human condition. Equality and fairness are things that we must always strive for. They are never freely given. He cautions repeatedly: so long as there is more than one human being on earth, there will always be cause for conflict. Regardless, we cannot surrender our critical faculties. We can sacrifice all else, but we should never sacrifice our minds.

Political analysts are sceptical about opposition protests in Armenia
Today, the MPs from the "Elk" oppositional faction have lit flares at the parliament session and urged residents of Armenia to go out to protest against Serzh Sargsyan. However, the political analysts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" believe that the faction's call is sooner aimed at promoting the opposition and poses no serious threat to the ruling party.
On April 9, the inauguration of Armen Sargsyan as the new President of Armenia was held; and the presidential powers of Serzh Sargsyan terminated. On April 17, the Parliament will elect the Prime Minister, who, in accordance with the recent constitutional reform, will be the first person of the state.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that a joint rally of the Front "For the State of Armenia" and the initiative group "Reject Serzh" in Freedom Square in Yerevan, held in the evening on April 9, gathered about 500 people, who demanded not to allow Serzh Sargsyan, the former President, to the post of the Prime Minister.
Today, while discussing the amendments to the Law "On Trade and Services", Ararat Mirzoyan, an MP from the above "Elk" faction, who had earlier applied for a speech, instead of discussing the amendments, has stated from the parliamentary rostrum: "The time has come for the society to prevent the reproduction of Serzh Sargsyan's power. Each of us should come to Freedom Square and light our torch of freedom." Then, Mr Mirzoyan and lit his flare.
Lena Nazaryan, his faction colleague, has joined him and lit two colour flares.
It was an opposition's promo action aimed to attract more people to the protest movement, Karen Kocharyan, a political analyst, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
He did not rule out that the opposition's performance may turn into a political action.
The action of the MPs from the "Elk" faction may attract people to the opposition, but cannot create any real threat to the ruling party, said Grant Mikaelyan, a political analyst and a researcher at the Caucasus Institute.
"They may attract supporters but cannot bring oppositional masses to the streets; they are unable to create any real problem for the ruling power," he explained to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
Full text of the article is available on the Russian page of 24/7 Internet agency 'Caucasian Knot'.

Pelosi calls Trump's bluff and says the home is able to enhance stimulus checks to $ 2,000
House spokeswoman Nancy Pelosi immediately called Donald Trump's final bluff on the COVID relief package Tuesday night and told the president that she supported increasing direct stimulus payments to $ 2,000.
"The Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the president wanted for direct controls," the House spokesman said on Twitter. "Finally the president has approved $ 2,000 – the Democrats stand ready to unanimously speak up this week. Let's do this!"
Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the president wanted for direct controls. Finally, the president has approved $ 2,000 – the Democrats stand ready to unanimously speak out this week. Let's do this! https://t.co/Th4sztrpLV
– Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) December 23, 2020
Pelosi's response came after Trump posted a bizarre video blowing up the COVID relief bill that his own White House negotiated, asking Congress to increase the amount for the stimulus payment.
Trump said if Congress did not address its concerns about the rescue package, it would be up to the next administration – which he would have suggested – to draft a new bill.
Democrats supported a bigger incentive payment at every step
Most people acknowledge that a one-time stimulus check of $ 600 is nowhere near enough to keep millions of struggling Americans afloat amid a public health and economic crisis.
Given that Republicans were strongly against additional stimulus payments, it was a huge win for Democrats that they managed to get direct payments into the compromise aid package in the first place.
With members of Congress negotiating for months, it is clear that Trump did not take the time to even consider the proposals. If he had, he would have seen that the Democrats had passed the COVID relief bill back in May, which included stimulus checks for double the amount that is on the current bill.
Separately, Nancy Pelosi called Donald Trump's Bluff on Tuesday telling him so The House Democrats are ready to hike stimulus payments to $ 2,000 immediately. He leaves the ball right on Mitch McConnell's place.

Holmenkollen es una zona montañosa en las afueras de Oslo, Noruega.

Ha sido un área recreativa de esquí desde finales del siglo XIX, con su famosa plataforma de salto de esquí, que alberga competiciones desde 1892. La Medalla Holmenkollen se otorga a los esquiadores más destacados en dicho centro.

Concretamente se encuentra en Vestre Aker, un barrio de Oslo, junto al barrio de Marka y los grandes bosques situados dentro de los límites de la ciudad.

En la noche del 22 de agosto de 1992, la capilla de Holmenkollen fue incendiada por Varg Vikernes, Øystein Aarseth y Bård Faust. Fue reconstruida y reabierta en 1996.

El área es servida por el ferrocarril suburbano Holmenkollbanen, que oficialmente forma parte del metro de Oslo. Las estaciones adecuadas son:

Eric and his team installed a new roof on my home in Evergreen this past Fall, a tough job involving the removal of several layers of roofing material. I cannot speak highly enough for Franklin Avilez who supervised the entire process. When an issue arose, he was here immediately to resolve it. He anticipated and prepared for everything necessary to get the job done, from protecting my driveway, making sure I had clear access to get in and out of my home, to quickly securing leaks from an unexpected snow melt ... Polite, courteous, eager to do the right thing, Franklin was always there when needed. The professional traits he possesses are natural to him, he is one in a million, few and far between. Thank you Eric, Franklin and Western Roofing for a tough job well done with the right crew!

Western Roofing, Inc. an their representative, has been working with Melvyn V****** in relationship to the time I, Mel V******, took over the managing the property know as **** ****** ******. Previously the representative had worked with our building manager and in review of the circumstances pursuant to the current conditions of the Premises, I elected to continue working with Western Roofing, Inc. It finally came to a time when the Ole Bldg needed more than a patch job an that is when their representative presented an option I could hardly refuse. From there the representative was very instrumental in getting the powers to be, where we came to an agreement to do a COMPLETE JOB an eliminate the patching. Therefor the work was scheduled and I'm sure I could not have found a better Company to work with. The project was completed in a timely manor and I have to say I was very well satisfied. Yes I would definitely recommend Western Roofing, Inc for any required roofing project. Sincerely Melvlyn E V****** / Manager

TIPP-Lausanne first episode psychosis program: patients' baseline characteristics and impact of the program on adherence to psychosocial treatment
serval:BIB_CB2BCFEA21A9
Inproceedings: an article in a conference proceedings.
Abstract (Abstract): shot summary in a article that contain essentials elements presented during a scientific conference, lecture or from a poster.
Title of the conference
Conus Philippe, Montagrin Yves, Bircher R., Sarrasin Pascale, Polari Andrea, Bonsack Charles
SAPHIRID:70788
Background: A study conducted in 2000 revealed that 50% of patients did not attend outpatient appointment after a first admission for psychosis. In the frame of the development of the Lausanne TIPP program in 2004, patients were assessed at baseline presentation and during 3 years follow-up. The aims of the study were: (1) to explore patients profile in order to adapt treatment program and (2) to assess impact of the program on treatment disengagement.
Methods: Assessment of demographic and clinical characteristics through a specially designed questionnaire used at entry to the service by case managers and comparison of disengagement rate before and after program implementation.
Results: A sample of 89 patients was assessed between April 2004 and June 2006. Evaluation of pre-morbid characteristics revealed high rates of substance use disorder (SUD) (45%), history of psychiatric disorder (68.5%), traumatic events (71.6%), suicide attempts (16.9%) and family history of psychiatric illness (71.6%). At baseline, there was high rate of lack of insight (85%). Median duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) was 6 months. While 50% of patients failed to attend first outpatient appointment before program implementation, all patients enrolled in the program were seen after discharge from hospital and rate of disengagement after 12 months was 15%.
Conclusions: Patients' profile is similar to that of other first episode psychosis cohorts. Implementation of the program has had an important impact on transition with outpatient care. Disengagement rates are relatively low compared to other studies.

What Can NFL Players Deduct on Their Taxes?
Football season just kicked off and fans are keenly aware that the players out there are raking in more money in one season than most people will make in a lifetime. New Orleans Saints quarterback, Drew Brees for instance, is averaging $20 million a year. Most team members don't make anywhere near that, but rest assured they are well paid.
Big Bucks Big Taxes
NFL players also have enormous out-of-pocket expenses. Naturally they can write off all the usual items as long as they qualify. But what else can they deduct?
Agent fees, which are generally a percentage of a player's income. These max out at 3% but for other income such as endorsements the fees are higher.
Ground transportation costs (taxis, parking fees, and tolls) related to away-games, training, meeting with agents, scouts, trainers, etc.
Fines for acts which do not violate public law.
"I am often asked if player fines are deductible," said CPA Robert A. Raiola. "For example a fine for speeding is not deductible but a fine for being late to practice is deductible because it violates team policy, but not public law." Many people believe fines are deductible because some leagues, including the NFL, donate this money to charity. "That's a common misconception. Whether the fines are donated or not, they are deductible to the athletes," said Raiola. Raiola is head of the Sports & Entertainment Group for the New Jersey-based accounting firm of Fazio, Mannuzza, Roche, Tankel, LaPilusa, LLC.
Additional expenses include:
Athletic equipment related to his sport. Also deductible are training classes and general workout equipment classes which are part of his overall athletic development.
Therapeutic massages may be deductible.
Reasonable costs of chiropractic care and body maintenance fees, during the season.
Temporary housing, for a definite time period, such as for rehab after an injury.
Rookie expenses.
Rookies are generally expected to take the team or a position group out for meals at times. It's considered a normal business expense in the NFL, and generally it is deductible, subject to the standard 50% meals and entertainment limit.
The Lesson?
The deductions are out there, but it takes the expertise of a trained professional to get the best tax results. That's true for anyone who receives a large sum of money from any source, such as a lottery win, a legal settlement, an inheritance, life insurance, a gift. You've heard the stories of people who were suddenly rich, rolling in money. A few years later they are flatbroke, bankrupt, in tax debt, and with no idea how it happened.
The problem was, they had money coming out their ears, but what they didn't have was the financial sophistication to handle the money well, guard their assets, and minimize the tax bill. For anyone who gets a large sum of money from any source, the first dollar spent should be to get a good financial professional on your side. It'll be worth the cost.

Timothy J. Wall: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
By Alyssa Choiniere
Updated Jul 13, 2021 at 11:45pm
Getty/Facebook Law enforcement respond to the scene of Publix where they say 55-year-old Timothy J. Wall, right, of Royal Palm Beach gunned down a grandmother and her 1-year-old grandson before turning the gun on himself.
Timothy J. Wall was identified as the suspect who police allege shot a woman and a toddler before turning the gun on himself at a Publix grocery store in Royal Palm Beach, Florida.
The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office told Local 10 News the child, a boy, would have turned 2 later this month. The woman and child were grandmother and grandson, PBSO said in a statement. The father of the boy was called to identify his son, Local 10 News reported. Law enforcement said they are investigating whether there was any relationship between Wall, the grandmother and the baby, and searching for a motive in the shooting.
Officials released a timeline in the murders during a press conference Friday afternoon, June 11, 2021, and said the grandmother, a 69-year-old woman, fought to save her grandson before she was killed. Wall's full name is Timothy Jameison Wall, officials said.
Wall was a 55-year-old Royal Palm Beach man, according to The Palm Beach Post. Officials told the newspaper Wall was found with a handgun near his body, and officials believe his fatal wound was self-inflicted. Court records indicate his ex-wife filed for divorce in 2017 and that he was granted a bankruptcy discharge in April 2021. Court records also indicate he had a 14-year-old daughter. A letter Wall wrote to the court in 2019 paints a picture of his final years, which said he was indigent, out of work and in poor health.
The Sun-Sentinel reported the shooting occurred at 1180 Royal Palm Beach Boulevard in The Crossroads at Royal Palm Beach plaza at about 11:30 a.m. Eastern time. The entire plaza was blocked by police for hours after the shooting, the outlet said.
Royal Palm Beach is a village about 15 miles west of West Palm Beach and just north of Wellington. This post will be updated as new information becomes available and as additional details are confirmed.
1. Wall's Wife Filed for Divorce in 2017 but He Continued Living With His Ex-Wife & Daughter; She Filed to Evict Him in 2019
I can confirm this is Timothy J. Wall, the gunman from yesterday's murder suicide at a Royal Palm Beach Publix. His connection to the grandmother and toddler he killed is still unknown. @WPLGLocal10 pic.twitter.com/yLxJRnaFSS

Wall's wife filed for divorce in July 2017, court records indicate. However, he continued living with his wife for at least two years before she filed to evict him from the home in 2019. He also had a daughter living in the Royal Palm Beach home, who is now 14, court records indicate.
A judge ordered on June 27, 2019, that Wall had 30 days to leave the marital home. A judge had previously ordered that Wall pay $500 toward mortgage each month until he moved out of the home.
Wall wrote a letter to the court pleading his case after his ex-wife filed for eviction, saying he should be allowed to stay in the home. He said that he helped out around the house, mowing the lawn, painting, repairing the porch, taking out the garbage, bathing the dog, cleaning and helping their daughter with homework, along with other tasks. He claimed he intended to leave, and would do so as soon as he was able.
Here is the letter:
Palm Beach County Clerk of CourtsA letter Timothy J. Wall wrote to the court asking that he be allowed to remain in his marital home.
Wall wrote that he had been out of work and was indigent.
"I need money to survive and pay my way," Wall wrote in the letter.
He wrote that he uses public transportation, which he described as "slow" and "exhausting." He also wrote that he was having health problems.
"The last year my health is not great, racing heart, irregular heartbeat, skipping," he wrote.
Maia Knight, the sister of Wall's ex-wife, said she tried to encourage Wall to take care of himself and his mental health issues, but said that she could not force him to do it, according to The Palm Beach Post.
"He wasn't really taking the medicine, and he had alcohol problems at one point," she said. "He didn't even want to help himself. My sister would say, 'I can't tell a grown man what to do do if he doesn't want to do it himself.'"
Knight said the couple's daughter was "going through a tough time" watching her dad struggle with mental health issues.
Wall's family issued a statement to the Associated Press, and an attorney for the family asked that the public respect the privacy of Wall's family and said that he has an elderly mother.
The statement said:
We are heartbroken at the loss of a child, and a grandmother, and of Timothy's death. We want to express our deepest condolences to the family of the young victim and his grandmother. During this difficult time, we ask that our family be given the time and respect to grieve and process this horrible tragedy. We hope that the same respect will be given to the victims and their family members.
2. Police Say They Are Investigating the Relationship Between Wall, the Grandmother & the Baby Boy But Said So Far There Is 'No Known Relationship'
Update on The Triple Homicides https://t.co/yBaRUyYT2X
— PBSO (@PBCountySheriff) June 11, 2021
The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office released the timeline of the events leading up to the murder during a press conference June 11, 2021. Officials said Wall was at Walgreens at about 8 a.m. that morning and at the same Publix about an hour later. He returned to Publix at about 11:30 a.m. on a red scooter. About 20 minutes earlier, the grandmother and grandson entered the store and started shopping. Wall entered the grocery store about five minutes before the shooting, using a golf putter as a walking stick, officials said.
Surveillance footage showed Wall walking behind the victims, PBSO said during the press conference. They said Wall shot the child first, who was in the shopping cart. The grandma tried to stop Wall, officials said, and fought with him over the gun. They said his gun jammed and she fell to the ground, where they said Wall shot her dead before turning the gun on himself.
Officials are continuing to investigate whether Wall and the victims had ever interacted before he gunned them down in the store, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw.
"But we've got a lot more talking to do. This is a very fluid investigation," he said.

The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office said in a statement June 10, 2021, there was "no known motive or relationship between the gunman and the victims." PBSO is continuing its investigation and working to identify what led to the shooting, officials said.
"We're trying to determine what led up to the shooting," said Teri Barbera, spokesperson for PBSO, in a statement to WPBF.
The toddler was the son of a civilian employee with the Sunny Isles police department, according to Local 10 News.

Witnesses told the Sun-Sentinel about the tragedy, saying they were running errands when their shopping trip turned deadly for the little boy and his grandma. Lynn Waterman told newspaper reporters she was checking out at the cash register when she heard the gunfire. She thought it was balloons popping, she told the newspaper. The cashier said there was a shooter, and she started running, she said, according to the article.

"Everybody ran out the store and I stood in the parking lot a while and I'm thinking to myself, 'Why am I standing out here? He could come out and shoot us'," Waterman, 61, told the newspaper.
She told the newspaper the store was not busy at the time of the shooting. She realized later she had left $10 on the counter, the Sun-Sentinel reported.
"I'm glad I'm alive, that's all," she told the newspaper.
Another witness, Dr. Ron Glassman, told Local 10 News he was close when the shots broke out.
Another sad update: We can confirm the innocent victims were a grandmother and her grandson. Whether or not they knew the man who shot them and then killed himself is unclear. We also know the boy's father had to come here to the scene to identify his son's body. @WPLGLocal10 https://t.co/SpCAnUXEYl pic.twitter.com/uQe03IxhNc
"I was about 100 feet away when I saw everyone running out of the store and yelling, 'Get back … shots fired,'" Glassman told the news outlet.
Another witness, Juan Guardia, told the news station that a Publix employee shouted there was a shooting and told people to run.
"She said, 'Run, run. It's a shooting, shooting run!'" Guardia told the news station, and said he was at the deli area when he heard a gunshot from the produce department. "After that, I got out from the back side, the back gate."

Elvis Way, who has been a grocery bagger for 13 years, told The Sun-Sentinel he was outside of the grocery store to collect shopping carts when shoppers and other workers began fleeing the store and screaming "Run!" He told the newspaper he hid at a nearby Dollar Tree store, and warned shoppers there of the shooting while crouching on the floor. He later ran outside and hid near law enforcement, he told the newspaper.
Officials described the shooting as a murder-suicide, writing in an early statement that it was "not an active shooter situation." Police told Local 10 News the shooting occurred near the produce section of the grocery store.

There is NO known motive or relationship between the gunman and the victims," said a statement from PBSO the evening of June 10.
CBS12 News reported in the hours after the shooting that the Publix parking lot was blocked off with crime scene tape and that multiple patrol cars from the sheriff's office were on the scene.

"We're trying to determine what led up to the shooting," Palm Beach Sheriff's Office Spokeswoman Teri Barbera told The Sun-Sentinel. "We responded to a shooting, we found three deceased — male, female, child. We believe that it's possible they know each other. The gunman is deceased. What led up to this, again, to be determined by our detectives that are here on scene."
Officials later said there was no known relationship between the gunman and the victims.
"I know people are tired of asking for prayers, but Im asking anyway," wrote Palm Beach County Commissioner Melissa McKinlay on Twitter. "So I ask for your prayers right now for the families impacted by today's shooting in my district. No politics today. Just prayers."
3. Wall Filed for Bankruptcy & He Was Granted Discharge on April 28, 2021
We're having a news conference at 3:30 pm with an update on yesterday's triple homicide. Including a timeline and picture of the suspect.

Bankruptcy filings for Wall indicate he had $215,000 in debts and only $6,000 in assets. Most of his debts were owed to his ex-wife. Their divorce was finalized in 2018, court records show.
In December 2020, the Bank of America filed a claim against Wall in small claims court for $4,092.25, and filed paperwork indicating he failed to make minimum payments.
On January 18, 2021, the small claims court case was dismissed pursuant to a settlement after a hearing, according to a court filing.
On April 16, 2021, the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Florida granted Wall bankruptcy discharge under chapter 7, according to a court order.
Here is the order:

4. Wall Threatened to Kill Children on His Facebook Page & His Ex-Wife Said He Had Been Acting Strangely, the Sheriff Said

Wall had made threats to kill children on his Facebook page, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said during a press conference. The Facebook page for Wall does not include any public posts.
"There was a chance this could be stopped. Do you know why? The reason is, he's on Facebook. He has said 'I want to kill people and children,' Bradshaw said.
Bradshaw added that Wall's ex-wife said he was acting paranoid and thought he was being followed.
"You think a damn soul told us about it? No," Bradshaw said. "If it sounds like I'm angry, I am."
A sheriff's deputy with the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office happened to be in the area of Publix when the shooting occurred, Local 10 News reported. The deputy rushed inside, but all three people were already deceased, the news station reported.
Barbera told The Sun-Sentinel the deputy had been at a nearby business.
"We actually had a deputy that was at the dry cleaners down the way," Barbera told the newspaper. "As soon as he heard the call go out, he immediately entered Publix."
Tragically, the victims were already dead, she said, according to the newspaper.

As he was pulling into the parking lot, he saw police officers sprinting with their guns drawn, he told reporters.

"A couple of minutes later, I would've been in there," he told the newspaper. "That's what I'm thinking. Two, three minutes later, usually, because I parked right in the front. At that point, I didn't bother getting out. I saw them running in, I didn't get out of the vehicle. … They just kept coming. Cruiser after cruiser, ambulance after ambulance, fire truck after fire truck."
Palm Beach County Commissioner Melissa McKinlay told WPTV she was saddened by the news.
"This one is hard. You don't like to hear about these things in your district. You don't like to hear about them anywhere in the country," McKinlay said.
She later added in a statement to The Palm Beach Post that today is a day of mourning and tomorrow is a day of action.
"Tomorrow we must step up and engage in a very honest conversation about why this happened and what we can do specifically to prevent this violence," McKinlay said June 10. "Inaction is not an option."

A witness wrote on Twitter that he was going to Publix to buy water when the gunman, later identified by authorities as Wall, walked into the store and opened fire.
"Hope eveyrone is alive. Glad I don't live on Loxahatchee, Fl," the post said in part.
The Twitter user later corrected the original post to say the gun the person had was not a shotgun. He wrote the gunman walked in wearing a trench coat.
"Update: Nit a shotgun, this seems to have been a mass shoting. Mtiple people are assumed dead including to gunman who was said to had walked in with a dark trench coat on," the person wrote on Twitter.
The Sun-Sentinel reported the gun was a handgun.
GettyPalm Beach County Sheriff's officers stand outside of a Publix supermarket where a woman, child and a man were found shot to death on June 10, 2021 in Royal Palm Beach, Florida. Law enforcement officials continue to investigate the crime scene for clues as to why the shooting occurred.
Shoppers who witnessed the shooting expressed their shock to The Palm Beach Post.
"This is a friendly Publix. I can't believe this crazy thing happened," Tracy Greene told the newspaper, and said she shops in the plaza regularly.
Tracey Cohron, a Royal Palm Beach resident who also frequents the Publix where the shooting occurred, told the newspaper she thought nothing like that would ever happen there. She said she knows many employees and was terrified to learn who died.
"I've been here for 20 years, and I can't believe this is happening," Cohron told the newspaper. "I know so many people who work there. I'm scared to death to find out who even got shot."
She added in her interview with reporters that she only missed the shooting by about six minutes.
"This is insane," she told the Post. "I can't believe this is really happening in my neighborhood."
5. Wall Had Mental Health Issues Including Schizophrenia, Said the Family of Wall's Ex-Wife, & the Palm Beach County Sheriff Said the Deaths Could Have Been Prevented

— South Florida Sun Sentinel (@SunSentinel) June 10, 2021
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said during a press conference that the murders of the toddler and his grandmother could have been prevented. He said his department established a behavioral services unit which could have acted to investigate whether Wall had a gun and place him in mental health services.
Bradshaw further said Wall "fits the profile" of mass shooters.
"This didn't have to happen," he said.
The Associated Press reported that law enforcement agencies can seek orders from a judge to seize firearms from anyone who is considered a danger to themselves or others and hold the firearms for one year under Florida's Red Flag law. After one year, the hold can be extended if law enforcement shows the person still presents a danger, the AP reported.
But Maia Knight, the sister of Wall's ex-wife, said the woman tried to get him help and treatment, according to the Palm Beach Post.
"He had mental issues. He wasn't taking care of himself," Knight told the Post. "My sister was going to the courthouse, going to police, telling everyone he needs help. My sister was trying to help him but didn't know how."
A memorial including stuffed animals and flowers appeared outside Publix as witnesses to the shooting returned to claim their possessions Friday, June 11, 2021, according to WPTV.
Palm Beach Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Teri Barbera told Local 10 News in the hours after the shooting that the investigative process would be lengthy. Wall was identified after his next of kin was notified.
"We have three individuals deceased right now and we don't have the next of kin notified, so please understand this is a long process," Barbera told the news station at the time.

Barbera told the news station that PBSO was documenting the scene, interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage and video as part of the investigation and to determine a motive in the shooting.
Publix issued a statement saying, "Our thoughts are with those who are impacted by this tragedy," according to The Palm Beach Post. "We are cooperating with the local law enforcement."

Shoppers and employees were allowed to return to the store between 9 a.m. and noon Friday, June 11, to collect any items they left behind when fleeing the store, according to CBS 12. The Publix would remain closed until at least Sunday, the news station reported.

Q: For loop not iterating through all values in list? Trying to troubleshoot this code and am getting a bizarre output.  Can someone explain why the outermost for loop is not running for i=2?  Thanks!
For context, the code was written to try to delete all values in b from a, including all repeats (i.e. a=[1,2,2], b=[2] should output [1]).  I know there are more efficient ways to do it I just am confused why this doesn't work.
Code:
def arrayfunc(a,b):
    list = a
    for i in a:
        print(i)
        for j in b:
            if i == j:
                list.remove(j)
    print(a)

arrayfunc([1,2,3],[1])

Output
1
3
[2, 3]

A: You need to copy the list a into list (although you should use a name other than list since it's a built-in) as list=a.copy() or list=a[:]. Currently you are just pointing list to a, so when you modify list you also modify a.
See this answer: What is the difference between a = b and a = b[:]?

Q: How to do mouse selection on grid? Monogame/XNA I am creating a game that uses tile based combat on a portion of the screen. I have already mapped a 2d array of nodes (each with a corner position to draw my units) and I have already done some tests with drawing the actual units. Now I need to start working on mouse selection, but am having trouble finding a way to map a mouse click to a particular node in the array. I have the positions stored in each node, but I don't know how exactly to use them. I would like to be able to have someone left click a square and have a way to register which square I actually selected. Any help?
This is an example of part of my grid which is in the bottom half of my screen

A: Rectangle has a method Contains(Point), and you can use it to easily detect if a point is inside the rectangle.

Assume your Node class has a property BoundingRectangle.
class Node
{
    // ...
    public Rectangle BoundingRectangle
    {
        get { return new Rectangle(x, y, width, height); }
    }
    // ...
}

Now to handle mouse clicks:
MouseState mouseState = Mouse.GetState();

if (mouseState.LeftButton == ButtonState.Pressed)
{
    foreach (Node n : nodes)
    {
        if (n.BoundingRectangle.Contains(mouseState.Position))
        {
            // TODO: Code to handle node being clicked...
        }
    }
