New Delhi :
As many as 28 people were injured in a bomb blast that took place at Jammu bus stand on Thursday, according to reports. The explosion took place inside a bus and a man had carried the grenade in his pocket. All the injured people were rushed to the Government Medical College in a critical state. Following the attack, security agencies have cordoned off the entire area. A team of forensic experts reached the spot to investigate the blast. The security agencies have launched a search operation in the area.
"It was a grenade explosion, it has caused injuries to approximately 18 people, all shifted to hospital,"Â MK Sinha, Inspector General of Police (IGP), Jammu said.
According to eyewitnesses, a loud explosion was heard inside a bus. Initially, people thought it was a tyre burst but when they reached the spot it was found out that a grenade has exploded there. So far, no group has claimed the responsibility of the attack.
"I thought it was a tyre burst. it was a big blast. The locals took the injured to the hospital in an ambulance," news agency ANI quoted one of the eyewitnesses as saying.
The incident has taken place days after Pulwama attack in which over 40 CRPF personnel were killed after a suicide bomber of the JeM drove an explosives-laden vehicle into a CRPF convoy. Pakistan-based terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed took the responsibility of the attack. Following this, Indian Air Force carried out a strike on a Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) camp inside Pakistan.

Historical Americana: 1854 composition by D. E. Jannon played on 1890 parlor guitar.
The mood of this piece is fast, light, jittery. Like baby chicks. Or attention deficit disorder.
The original for this set of recordings is "LucasGonze-AnnaWaltz 49 s plus 2s fade." Use that one if you want foreground listening. The rest are remixes, cuts or modifications.
My idea is to provide a set of related sounds, like a blog theme or an icon pack. This isn't about any one recording, it's about having a stinger, a long thing for a voicever, a high quality thing for a fadeout, etc etc, all in the same show.
There are plenty of useful variations missing. For example it would be good to have a spaced-out/ weird variation. It would be good to have more little stingers. I'd welcome contributions from other Freesound creators.
Feedback on the idea and implementation would be helpful. Does it work? What could I have done differently?

Baby number three can make you a bit defiant of the laws of gravity and open boxes of tapioca. My ego as a third time mother has me running around doing any task with one hand when Lucas does not want to be put down. So I have made a birthday cake with one hand, pasta, pesto...I was on a role until the tapioca. Lucas in one hand, open box of tapioca in the other, bend over slightly to grab a bowl and what a pretty little sound the little balls make cascading all over the floor. Imagine the entire floor looks just like the picture above. The good news, I actually didn't cry...thank you very much hormones. More good news, I still had about 2 TB of tapioca in the box and that's all I needed. Somebody pour me a glass of wine.
Eli has been an amazing helper in the kitchen. Most of our projects have been a bust, but so much fun making them with the kids and somehow it all gets eaten. Stay tuned for recipe of coconut tapioca pudding.

Even if you didn't complete your college education, the courses you took might still be relevant to your career and thus worth mentioning on your resume. As with all aspects of your resume, it's important to format the information carefully.
Formatting the Information
Information about your education typically goes in an "Education" or "Job Training" section in reverse chronological order, meaning the most recent education is listed at the top of the section. Write the educational institution you attended, your area of focus, and, in some cases, the dates you studied there. For example, you might say, "State University, Accounting, 2007-2009." If you are afraid that putting the dates in might reveal too much about your age and jeopardize your chances of landing an interview, leave the dates out.
Listing Individual Courses
If you've taken any courses that are particularly relevant to the job, write something like "courses in..." and then include the names of the courses. For example, if you're applying for an administrative assistant job and you took courses in bookkeeping or business writing, those courses would be worth mentioning. If you have lots of relevant work experience and your coursework doesn't have anything to do with the job for which you're applying, you don't necessarily have to include your courses. For some employers, however, the fact that you have some higher education can still be a positive, so in this case you want to mention the college courses you took. This might happen if you see a job listing that says "some college preferred."

Anglia Ruskin University Selects bluesource for an Enterprise Vault to Microsoft 365 migration project
Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) is an innovative global university with students from 185 countries. ARU has been named as one of the top 350 institutions in the world in The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021 – and one of the top 40 universities in the UK.
As part of its broader Digital Strategy ARU made the decision to migrate to Office 365. The migration was complicated as its data was residing in Enterprise Vault (EV).
Whilst EV is a good archiving system, it does not support mailboxes that are hosted in Office 365, and so its core archiving functionality would no longer be available after the migration. ARU looked at the option of migrating EV archived data using EV native tools.
Due to the way EV works, it was also thought that the migration would need to consist of two core activities:
Extraction of EV archives into relevant PST files
Ingestion of the PST files into the Office 365 mailboxes
ARU had some challenges with the native tools approach:
The migration would not be end-to-end
The reporting is very limited with native EV tools
The extraction does not provide ability to bypass failed items
The extraction used the same processes used by the end users when accessing EV archived data and as a result there can be a drop in the application performance
The final complication was concerning EV shortcuts, as migrating mailboxes with EV shortcuts would not work.
ARU contacted bluesource for their assistance with the challenge that was facing the University. After careful and considered planning, bluesource were able to provide a managed archive migration service using TransVault Migrator Software that addressed all ARU's concerns including but not limited to:
Migrating the EV archived data first
Scanning for EV shortcuts and removing them from the mailboxes post migration
Maintaining message fidelity based on the MAPI properties on the shortcuts
Ensuring the users were not adversely impacted
The managed migration service included a series of workshops to understand the requirements and ARUs environment. The 3rd party tool, TransVault Migrator, was then deployed to help discover the EV data, and help migrate the EV archived data into Office 365.
Why bluesource?
During the initial consultation meeting, bluesource provided a comprehensive overview of the migration process, gave detailed explanations of the options available to ARU and were able to answer any questions ARU had. This was followed up by the production of a detailed planning and design document. Simon Harvey – Senior Cloud Systems Engineer, ARU said "We felt confident that bluesource had the relevant knowledge and expertise of the TransVault tooling and felt comfortable with their ability to migrate the data for us."
"Within a very short space of time we realised that we could leave the team to manage the data migration on our behalf and felt we could trust them to alert us of any issues they encountered that they felt we should be aware of." Simon Harvey added.
Simon Harvey continued, "We found the communication with the team was excellent. All queries and requests were responded to and dealt with in a timely manner. bluesource were very flexible and were always happy to alter migration schedules, even though sometimes they were at short notice."
"We had a few of setbacks (primarily due to issues with Exchange online) and bluesource worked hard to keep us on schedule and gave us realistic (and what turned out to be accurate) timescales for when they anticipated getting back on track for the next batch of migrations." Said Simon Harvey

Paul (Rob Moran) and Aubrey Davison (Barbara Crampton) are having their 35th wedding anniversary at a isolated mansion in the country. The couple have invited their four grown children - Drake (Joe Swanberg), Crispian (A.J. Bowen), Aimee (Amy Seimetz), and Felix (Nicholas Tucci) - and their loved ones to celebrate the event with them. However, the Davison family are dysfunctional and pretty much bicker and argue the moment they all gather together at the dinner table. However, it stops when Aimee's boyfriend (Ti West) is shot through the window with an arrow to the head. Confused and scared, the family and loved ones encounter a trio of masked killers [a lamb, a tiger, and a fox] who trap them inside the mansion to kill them all one-by-one. While many of them argue what's the best plan for survival, Crispian's former student and now girlfriend, Erin (Sharni Vinson), may be the family's secret weapon in making sure most of them come out of this situation alive.
YOU'RE NEXT, a film that's been waiting for a worldwide release since 2011, is probably the best home invasion film I've seen in quite a while. It's great when the trailers don't give you too much that spoil the experience for you, as YOU'RE NEXT is a film people ought to go into without much knowledge about it. It's also a hard film to really review in detail, since I would be giving away certain plot devices that lead into the twist at the end. So I'm gonna make this review as short and to the point as possible.
I did enjoy the screenplay by Simon Barrett. There was humor that the trailer doesn't really show, and at times YOU'RE NEXT tries to be somewhat a horror-comedy. Not all the humor works, but I did laugh a few times at the dialogue and how the characters handled themselves through the terrifying situation.
But Barrett has to be applauded for writing characters that felt real. What I mean is that not everyone falls into the horror stereotype. While some of the characters react stupidly, like running away from the group to save themselves, they aren't stupid people. Most of them actually take the time to figure out the situation through their confusion, trying to come up with ways to maximize their potential survival. Not all the plans work, obviously, but at least these characters are smart enough to stop panicking and analyze what's going on. That's not to say that the characters are all that likeable. In fact, maybe three of them come across as people you would root for, while the others you would care less if they lived or not. But I actually liked that, since it made the situation realistic. These characters have issues with each other and it sometimes works against them here. Not everyone in a group is going to be someone you like. You're going to have a jerk or two in there - one that will probably try and cost you your life in order to save theirs. It's just human nature, unfortunately. But it's no surprise that the smartest, more active one in the group is the one who survives the longest. And this person is treated like a total badass, which I loved. I kept rooting for this person because he/she would have handled things like I would. So Barrett did write some great characters in here, who all feel different from the other, and have their reasons as to why they behave the way they do.
I also found the twist believable as well. YOU'RE NEXT starts out kind of slow, but it's done to set up the dynamics of the situation and the characters involved. And because of this build up, it makes the mystery of the masked killers feel genuine. Unlike THE STRANGERS, where the characters doing the invading had no clear motivation [which made things creepier, to be honest], the masked killers in YOU'RE NEXT are clearly here for a specific reason. And by the end of it, you realize that something like this is probably possible in reality. I won't spoil the twist, but I liked it and thought it added to some humorous moments once it was revealed right before the final act.
Honestly, I think the best part of YOU'RE NEXT is just the feeling that anyone could invade our own personal lives in such a violent manner. There's a reason why these home invasion films work as well as they usually do - it plays on our fears of privacy and safety. If this sort of thing ever happened to me, I'd probably act like some of these characters as well. Will my fear take over? Will I be able to come up with some sort of plan that could help me live a while longer? Can I stop these invaders before they stop me? This situation has happened and will happen again. I'm glad some of these characters actually took the time to breathe and make decisions that were more right than wrong. That human instinct of "fight or flight" will always kick in, but I'm hoping I'll be a fighter like a certain character instead of fleeing like some of the others.
YOU'RE NEXT is a pretty brutal film, but it's not shockingly gory. And I'm kind of glad it turned out that way. I don't need to see guts and tons of blood to make me feel tense about what I'm watching. The violence in the film does that plenty. And we get a ton of people attacking with weapons, such as arrows, knives, cleavers, and blunt objects that result in people getting bludgeoned to death. We also get a booby trap to a door that results in an axe to the face. I think the best violent moment was towards the end, where one of the characters battles two killers in the kitchen of the house. YOU'RE NEXT is a thrilling survival film, especially during the last half of the movie. I was definitely cheering in my seat.
My only major gripe with YOU'RE NEXT would be with the camera work by Adam Wingard. I thought his direction was fine. The shot scales and compositions were good. The editing was tight. The jump scares were pretty effective, especially with those creepy animal masks. YOU'RE NEXT is a low budget film, but I thought the way the setting was used and how the picture looked was great. There are definite tense and suspenseful moments that raise your blood pressure a bit.
However, Wingard LOVES to use the shaky-cam effect to no end. And man, did it bother me. I get that you want to shake the camera during intense situations to create an effect for the audience. But it distracted me more than make me feel something for the scene itself. It got to the point where I kept saying, "I get it. I get it. Can you put the camera on a tripod now?" It was a bit overwhelming for me. Some shaky cam is fine. But watching a movie that looks like it's being filmed during an earthquake isn't a pleasant visual experience. Other than that, I was fine with the rest of the visuals.
The acting was also quite strong. A.J. Bowen is becoming quite the popular horror actor these days, doing very well as Crispian. Director Joe Swanberg is pretty perfect as the prick and judgmental brother, Drake. Nicholas Tucci plays the mysterious Felix well. Rob Moran is one of the better actors as the low-key patriarch, Rob. I really liked his performance, as he kept himself grounded throughout the turmoil. Always a pleasure to see Barbara Crampton in anything, and she was wonderful as the fragile matriarch, Aubrey. But the real star of YOU'RE NEXT is Australian actress Sharni Vinson as Erin. Just a breakthrough performance, as Vinson was super convincing as this intelligent, strong woman who would not let anybody hurt her or the people who could soon be her family. The entire last half of the film belongs to her, as she carries the movie without a struggle. I definitely want to see more of her.
YOU'RE NEXT continues a very strong year for horror. It's not perfect, but it comes pretty close as one of the best home invasion films I've seen. Strong performances [especially by Sharni Vinson], very direction, and a smart and sometimes humorous script that highlights the film's intense brutality. While the film probably did make more than its budget back, it's a shame it didn't do better at the box office this weekend. It's a pleasant summer movie surprise that we need more of.
Can't wait to see this, it opens in Mexico on september 13th!
You'll probably love it. Perfect day for its release as well.
Looks like a solid horror flick. Hope to see it soon.

A Legacy Supreme, Ravi Coltrane at Jazz Standard
February 9, 2015 famenycmageditor Leave a comment
Few jazz artists have the legacy of Ravi Coltrane. To say jazz is in his blood is an understatement; he is jazz royalty. His father, John Coltrane, created the quintessential jazz opus with Love Supreme and is actually a saint. His mother, Alice Coltrane, was a jazz pianist, composer, harpist and organist who led her own band and accompanied her husband.
Extending the legacy given to him by his parents, Ravi is an accomplished post-bop saxophonist. Since 1998 he has released six albums as a band leader, the last being Spirit Fiction in 2012 on Blue Note along with dozens of appearances as a sideman on various artists' albums ranging from Steve Coleman to Flying Lotus. He is also the co-owner of RKM Music.
Although this winter has been one of the harshest in recent history, Coltrane's appearance at Jazz Standard got February started on a smooth, sublime note. The Ravi Coltrane Quintet, comprised of Coltrane on tenor sax, Ralph Alessi on trumpet, Aaron Parks on piano, Bob Hurst on bass and Jeff "Train" Watts on drums, were featured at Jazz Standard from February 3-8. The set included five numbers; the first was Ornette Coleman's Bird Food. The second was Word Order from Coltrane's 2000 album From the Round Box. The third was a piece titled Between Lines. The set concluded with For Turiya a piece written for Alice Coltrane and Thelonious Monk's Brilliant Corners with arrangements by Jeff Watts. The Ravi Coltrane Quintet played the role of shamen. They enchanted us with soothing, intricate layers of melody. Hearing Coltrane live with the accompaniment of Parks, Hurst, Alessi and Watts was magical. Overall it was like a hot toddy on a frosty night – warm, soothing with just the right dose of kick courtesy of Watts' arrangement of Brilliant Corners. It swung with a bit of a hip hop beat and would make a perfect sample. As for Coltrane, he has successfully carried the legacy of his family all while carving a lane for himself. He has truly earned the moniker "renaissance man."
Most clubs don't live up to the illustrious names that their owners bequeath to them. Jazz Standard is the exception, it is the prototype of what jazz spot should be – intimate, comfortable and filled with melody. Located at 116 East 27th Street, any jazz buff can walk down a flight of stairs and treat themselves to a plate of barbeque and night of legendary talent and the best new artisans of jazz.

A History Lesson – Kaminski Style
Since the beginning of mankind, humans have kept records of events. These narratives shape our civilization. People turn to the history books to learn about the past, understand the present and possibly predict the future. But visual art can sometimes render words unnecessary. Such is the case of Ken Kaminski and his paintings that chronicle the events of 911, the recovery period that continues to unfold and indeed the period before September 11, 2001. Through hues of purple, yellow, red, blue, black, white, and through the style of Abstract Expressionism, Ken Kaminski retells a story that is permanently etched in the minds of everyone in this nation.
Last August Kaminski's 9/11 Paintings were featured at Fairleigh Dickinson University's Edward Williams Gallery. This exhibit offered viewers a pictorial on canvas spanning from the airplanes slicing through perfect blue skies, to the chaos and destruction of the twin towers and ultimately their demise. And like history, the lessons of the past can and sometimes do repeat themselves. With Kaminski the story of his 9/11 work has come back around again and although the plot is slightly altered, the impact is just as potent. On January 31, Kaminski's Recovery Paintings exhibit opened at Walter Wickiser Gallery. The exhibit is comprised of seven paintings: Baghdad (1991), Wounded Towers (2002), Collapse (2011), Intersection (2011), Intersection 2 (2011) and Ghost Towers (2011). On the crisp white walls of this Chelsea gallery, Kaminski's paintings and the story they convey take on new life.
The tale begins with Baghdad. Geometric shapes burst from a tawny plain. Waves of red and black anchor the bottom to the painting. In a way these impressions look like oil and blood that has been shed for that oil. Dead center is a bull's eye. If a history buff was inclined to trace back the events that led to 9/11 one would have to make a stop at Baghdad, in fact, some might argue it was the first ground zero.
Wounded Towers goes straight to the center of that horrible day. As the towers bend, slowly yielding to their fate, bold colors of red, white, blue, yellow, green and black entangle the surface. Between the brushstrokes and paint Kaminski smeared with his fingers, the agony of the fuming towers is consciously and unconsciously evident. While I viewed this painting last year, this time I was able to see a under case "p" resting in the middle. When I saw it I was gobsmacked. Why haven't I seen it before? P…pain, and why haven't I ever used that word to describe that day?
Collapse is an overwhelmingly tumultuous piece. You can see the tower being taken asunder in copious shades of blue and black and streaks of yellow and orange and a splash of red. As with Wounded Towers a "p" appears in the center of the painting. It's dark and sweeps over you like a tidal wave.
Intersection and Intersection 2 return once again, and more directly, to the geometric shapes that are present in Baghdad only these shapes are surrounded by thicker, darker hues. The dense globules of paint reminded me of the soot that covered the surrounding area of Ground Zero or the heavy plumes of smoke that hovered over the smoldering remnants for days. Like its title these works act as a conduit linking what was to what is and the possibly of what might be.
Ghost Towers is a piece with spiritual dimensions. In this work Kaminski pays homage to lives lost on 9/11. In total, all of these works tell a distinct story about history from a very distinct point of view. But chronicling modern events using paint and canvas is only one of the narratives this exhibit tells. The other signifies the title of the exhibit itself, Recovery Paintings. Although Kaminski has fused sociopolitical themes into his work previously, the paintings that were influenced by the events of 9/11 were his therapy – a way to reconcile the horror and enormity of a moment in time that continues to affect us. Indeed his recovery has become our recovery and as we continue to look back on 9/11 while trying to navigate our present and future, Kaminski gives a starting point that can be used in our healing as we continue to record and create history.

Tears etch scars down my cheeks
Fresh blood, new death each week
Black bodies and Blue justice gone viral
New day but its HIStory we rival
We scream no justice, no peace
We create footsteps in the streets
Covering the prints of elders before
But what really lies at the core
Is it my melanin?
The place I live in
The coiled roots of my dome
Or the fact that this land was never my home
We contribute to the prosperity of red, white and blue
But Uncle Sam don't give a damn 'bout folks with my hue
Occupy Wall Street, Hands Up –Don't Shoot
And while we "die-in" stores, corporations still get loot
Weren't we sick and tired with Fannie Lou Hamer
Technologies advance with frozen minds, it don't get no stranger
Are we the problem or the solution?
The cure or the pollution
Maybe we are everything you see
Cause this land made for you and me
Is a whore born out of hypocrisy
A blind lady holding up scales
The bitch is deaf too and dead men tell no tales
Seventeen watching Rodney King
Twenty –two years, new video, same sting
Can you see the ring I'm trying to paint?
Full circle of blood smeared and stained
With the crimson of Mike Brown, Sean Bell, Trayvon
Amadou, Anthony Baez… do I have to go on?
No, I don't need to go any farther
Cause the tombstones go past Eric Garner
Unarmed man blasted in a project stairwell
And still you don't think Jim Crow ain't alive and well
Dead black men just pictures on your TV
Not too different from black men swinging on trees
They called them strange fruit
KKK, zealous pigs, identical boot
Bearing down our larynx
Shouting NEXT GENERATION…NEXT
So I can't trust the boys in blue
Or the boys in blue
And red bandannas who
Fit the criminal profile
But wait…we all fit the profile
Of being descendants of the three-fifths lifestyle
Cause when these laws were being made
My great-grandparents were slaves
For a country made for you and me
It's been slow in spreading equality
And while the twentieth century is written about in books
The new millennium carries the shadow of a familiar look
And while CNN tries to discover who really is the foe
I say it's just the ghost of SAMO

Sex and the City Slot Game: A Huge Hit among Fans
September 4, 2014 famenycmageditor Leave a comment
If you're a fan of Sex and the City's fab four, you're going to love this. One of the oldest slot machine makers in the world, IGT, developed a game that carries with it the commercial license of HBO's hit romantic comedy. Fans of the show will feel at home playing it, as they will find a lot of recognizable slot machine reel symbols that are actually based from the characters, setting, and theme of Sex and the City.
The Sex and the City slot machine is a colossal success at the Resorts World Casino in Queens. An article by New York Mag, stated that some of the guests even came all the way from Manhattan when they learned that Sex and the City slot machines were being offered by Resorts World.
"I came just for this game," said Janis Savit, a jewelry designer that the New York Mag interviewed for their Sex and the City slot machine feature. "It was more fun than doing work."
Perhaps the success of slot machines can be attributed to how they change along with the times. No longer the traditional coin-op and lever machine, these slots have become the money-spinners of casinos thanks to their high-definition graphics, surround sound entertainment, and progressive jackpot features. According to data, the slot machine business is so successful that not only is it a $160 billion industry, but companies that offer it online are also doing very well. Cryptologic,the operator of the first online casino brand in 1996 InterCasino, is still in operation and has recently optimized their games to HTML5 in order to make their titles playable on many gaming platforms. In the U.S., the online gaming market is predicted to be valued at around $73 million by 2015.
Sex and City is the epitome of a modern slot machine. Apart from the 5-reel interface, the game offers bonus rounds and huge jackpots to players who are patient enough to hit them.
The bonus features of the game also carry with them the identity of the show that millions of Americans have come to love. For example, when players hit the "Shoe Closet" feature they will be able to see stylish shoes that the Fab Four wore at some point in the show. Another bonus feature of the game is called "Simply Fabulous" and features Charlotte wearing an engagement ring. In this game, players need to select four engagement ring boxes that would reward them credits in the end.

9/11 Reflected Through Color – The Art of Ken Kaminski
One of my favorite childhood fables was the story of Henny Penny. What always stuck with me was the repeated use of the phrase, "The sky is falling." It was the first time I was ever confronted with a tale that dealt with hysteria. How could I had known that one day I would feel driven to scream those exact words, but when I saw the twin towers ablaze and the mayhem that was unfolding in real time as we helplessly watch on TV, I felt like that manic chicken wrought with panic and fear. September 11, 2001 is a mental scar I'll always carry with me.
As intense as the memories are of that day, I can scarcely remember any color with the exception being the perfect blue sky that offered the delusion that nothing that terrible could befall us. What I remember most are the feelings that coursed through me at rates so fast I could barely record them, terror firmly placing a grip around my neck, anxiety tapping Morse code up and down my arms, disorientation mushrooming in my brain and grief taking possession of my heart. I returned home from my job, where we had to evacuate because of a bomb threat, turned on my TV and laid down on my bed to hear the sounds of faint whistles from dying firemen. I felt absolutely defeated.
The tragedy of 9/11 left this country reeling and sent us all on our own journeys as we tried to reconcile what happened. Ken Kaminski's journey took him to the canvas creating a series of work that spans well over a decade. Using the template of abstract expressionists like Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock and Emerson Woefler, Kaminski has attempted to record the events and emotions of that day as well as the recovery period that continues to shape us. His efforts also allow those who are too young to remember 9/11 the ability to witness the emotion of that day.
FAMERS I am here to report that his endeavors are wildly successful. I had the pleasure of viewing a few of Kaminski's 9/11 paintings at the Edward Williams Gallery, located at Fairleigh Dickinson University's Hackensack campus. The exhibit includes eight selected works that brilliantly convey the events of that day brightly expressed in various hues. The exhibit begins with Blue Sky Day – triptych. This three panel painting brings you face to face with speed of these flying bombs and the majestic sky that it corrupted. With each panel the viewer sees the countdown of the planes getting closer and closer until it hits making its bloody and destructive impact.
911 The Moment It Happened is an eerie mix of color. The space surrounding The World Center no longer is colored in blue like the atmosphere painted in Blue Sky Day, instead the blue is muddled with streaks of different colors showing the chaos that followed the impact of the first plane, represented in an explosion of oranges and reds bursting from the side of the tower. Streams of black cover one of the towers like a foreshadowing of despair to come.
Blindsided shows the line of fire going straight into one of the towers then blasting out of the other side. Crippled from the blow, the tower bends and the pain is obvious. All that is missing is the scream, but if you remember the sound of the planes hitting the towers, then this painting will ensure that the awful roar of the plane echoes in your ears. Blindsided is an acute observation of a drive-by.
Twins! is a stoic, almost haunting, vision of The World Trade Center towers before 8:46 a.m. September 11, 2001. They were proud and victorious, a symbol of might and power. They represented everything that was great about The Big Apple. In Kaminski's painting they appeared alive and vibrant again instead of frozen as they are in photographs. The yellow background also contributes to the energy of the piece. It makes you long for the nostalgia of what used to be. If this painting were a song, it would be called The Way We Were.
Wounded Towers is a kaleidoscope of disorder. The colors vividly capture the confusion permeating the area as people scrambled for safety and the bent, smoldering towers desperately tried to remain the symbols of glory that they once were, a last valiant effort before they ultimately disintegrated into dust.
Collapse is engulfed in a blending of hues that bring chills to the spine. The voices of those who were lost don't just whisper, they shriek. It shows the true potential of visual art. There are no words necessary, this painting is one of the most telling portraits of pain and suffering that I've ever saw. If someone wanted to understand the mood of the country when the tragedy of 9/11 occurred, all they would have to do is view this painting.
Considering this year will mark the 13th anniversary of 9/11, I believe Kaminski's exhibit couldn't visit the New York metropolitan area at a better time. It allows another way for us to remember and venerate a day that will forever be a part of our history. Kaminski's work carries with it a raw, emotional ambiance. It pulls you in. No matter how hard the visuals may be to look at, Kaminski's work burst past your pupils and forces you to deal with whatever memories or residual feelings you may have buried. For as much as Kaminski's work is steeped in tragedy, it is also immersed in the resilience of the city of New York and its people. Yes, the sky did fall, but we didn't get mired in the pain. We stood atop the ashes; we rebuilt and honored those we lost. The 9/11 paintings are not only powerful and healing; they are a testament that when an artist creates from his or her soul the work that is generated is timeless.

Kaminski's 9/11 Paintings will be on display at the Edward Williams Gallery, located at 150 Kotte Place, Hackensack NJ, until 9/26/14. Gallery hours are 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays.

Top Five Reasons to Go See The Phantom of the Opera
June 30, 2014 famenycmageditor Leave a comment
The Phantom of the Opera is a Broadway staple. It's one of the productions that tourists come to New York City to see. Last year it celebrated its 25th anniversary on Broadway making it the longest running show in the history of The Great White Way. With grosses over $800 million, it's the most financially successful theater production to date. In May The Phantom of the Opera made history once again by adding the first Phantom of color, actor Norm Lewis.
The Phantom of the Opera began its epic run on Broadway in 1988 and after 26 years it still packs in the crowds. One might think that after all this time this musical juggernaut might have lost its steam – what with all the new productions dealing with more modern issues – but there is a reason why classics never die. If you haven't seen The Phantom of the Opera, I'm here to tell you that you should and I have five good reasons to back me up.
5. Unrequited Love
The Phantom of the Opera intertwines this theme into the beauty and the beast subplot. The Phantom in all his grotesque glory loves Christine Daaé, a beautiful young soprano. So much so that he will kill to ensure her success at the French opera house. She is his muse and musically they do share a connection, but his disfigured face and criminal behavior prevents her from conceiving of the possibility of returning his love. Another complication for The Phantom is the reemergence of Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny, Christine's childhood playmate and first love. Everyone has their favorite fables about unrequited love. Wuthering Heights…Gone With the Wind… The Phantom of the Opera definitely ranks up there with the greatest love stories told on stage or screen.
4. Norm Lewis
There is a new Phantom in town and his name is Norm Lewis. Stepping into a role as iconic as the Phantom can be quite the undertaking, 25 years and several other Phantoms before you, and every die-hard Phantom fan has their favorite. But Lewis holds true to magic and sinister nature of the Phantoms before him. In fact, he adds another dimension to the story of a brilliant man forced to hide in the shadows of an opera house because of the way he looks and is driven mad by the isolation and rejection.
3. Sierra Boggess
Sierra Boggess has been playing the role of Christine Daaé in various productions since 2006. She first played the role in a production of The Phantom of the Opera in Las Vegas. She played Christine in the sequel to Phantom, Love Never Dies. On Broadway, she reprised the role in 2013 for a six-week engagement. In March, it was announced that she would return along with Norm Lewis. As soon as Boggess utters the first note you can tell how familiar she is with the role. Her voice fills the Majestic Theatre with a power and tenderness that can be felt from the orchestra to the mezzanine. If you are not a fan of opera, Boggess will make you one or at the very least you will have a greater appreciation for the craft.
2. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Charles Hart
The music of The Phantom of the Opera was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics written by Charles Hart and additions from Richard Stilgoe, who also wrote the book with Webber. The music and lyrics are one of the reasons why The Phantom of the Opera is the most successful theater productions on Broadway and around the world. Just hearing the entrancing number "The Music of the Night" is enough to fill seats or the beautiful exchange between Raoul and Christine in "All I Ask of You"; the music and lyrics captivates the audience from beginning to end and gloriously illuminates the genius of Andrew Lloyd Webber.
1. It's an authentic theater experience
From the lavish sets and costumes, the music and lyrics, to the performers, The Phantom of the Opera harkens back to a time when going to the theater was a complete transformation into another world and the audience felt lucky to be a part of it because it was happening live in front of them. The pageantry and opulence of The Phantom of the Opera holds a mirror to the mediocre productions that somehow get backing and land on Broadway and says, "Tisk…tisk…tisk. This is how you create theater." Simply put, they just don't make 'em like this anymore and no matter your age or generation quality is quality. And the fuel that runs The Phantom of the Opera is excellence.

The Outing Is Coming OUT This Summer
June 6, 2014 famenycmageditor Leave a comment
Ten years ago playwright Afrika Brown decided to use an assignment to take a decade's worth of experiences and combine them into a one-act play, thus THE OUTING was born. After 10 years, THE OUTING made its premiere this spring at Open Hydrant Theater Company's Urban Waves Spring 2014 Short Festival in the Bronx. But the coming out party for this one-act drama hasn't stopped there. THE OUTING is taking Manhattan by storm, first playing at Manhattan Repertory Theatre's Summerfest this month and in August THE OUTING will appear in the Strawberry One-Act Festival.
In THE OUTING Afrika Brown poses one question: What's the "T"?
What is truth? Everyone knows what the truth is, but when the truth is revealed….how easy is it to accept? Can you accept your truth or someone else's truth when it finally comes out?
THE OUTING is a captivating drama centering on three individuals who reveal a certain truth about themselves and the acceptance or nonacceptance of life outside the closet. Brief yet penetrating, THE OUTING aims to hit the audience straight between the eyes with the speed and power of an Ali punch. As these characters learn to deal with the truth about themselves, the audience is also left to determine how the hidden truths of their life would affect the course of their life if they were to expose them.
Manhattan Repertory Theatre's Summerfest is located at 303 West 42 Street, 6th Floor. Performance Dates and Times for are as follows: Wednesday June 18 at 7 pm, Friday June 20 at 7 pm, Saturday June 21 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at MRTRESERVE@GMAIL.COM.

In a city where neighborhoods reinvent themselves with same speed as Madonna, hearing that a new restaurant has sprung is just par for the course. The Lower East Side is just one of many NYC neighborhoods that is shedding the skin of its past, and I just got the scoop on a new place that you and your peeps will want to make your "old haunt" very fast.
The name is The Derby and it opened a little over a month ago. Located at 167 Orchard Street this eatery specializes in biscuits and bourbon and southern cuisine standards such as cheddar grits, chicken fried steak and baked macaroni and cheese. The music creates a cool eclectic, vibe. The décor is a mash-up between bar at Churchill Downs and a scene from The Great Gatsby with a speakeasy located in the basement – a great setting for a private get together.
I know what you're thinking, the vintage furnishings sound nice, but how is the food? Well FAMERS…the food is scrumptious. I suggest the fried chicken, if you're looking to have a cheat day on your diet. The pieces are fried to golden perfection and the meat is juicy. It comes with a side of fried okra and let me tell you, any place that can get me to like okra gets high marks in my book.
If this place was running in the upcoming Belmont Stakes, I would put my money down on The Derby. It's a shoo-in and a cool place to have a bite to eat in the summertime. And if you do, say hello to Gabe, the restaurant's manager. He's very personable and a definite added attraction. Good food, good vibe, good people, good prices…there is nothing not to like about The Derby.

But now the return is not well-formed xml, which is not hierarchical..
Here is a screenshot of the return xml:

But, I want something like more  human-readable xml, which is hierarchically..
So, I tried to get the xml return without the <string> tag, which can display like I want..
Something like this:

I tried to remove the <string> tag on my code..
I just comment this code:
//[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]

But the <string> tag always display on it (like first image)..
Anyone know how to remove it?
Thank You!

A: if you wont to view XML without string tag add XElement type in your method like this:
 [Web Method]

Apple Plans A Gaming Subscription Service But TV Service To Arrive First
Posted By: Vikas Shukla Jan 29, 2019, 6:42 am
Chanzj / Pixabay
The iPhone sales growth might be slowing down as the market saturates, but Apple has a huge iOS installed base. The tech giant has doubled down on services such as the Apple Music and iCloud storage to make more money. In fact, services are its fastest growing business segment. Tim Cook had vowed a couple of years ago to double Apple's 2016 services revenue to $50 billion by 2020. Services contributed close to $40 billion to Apple's fiscal 2018 revenue. A new report claims that the tech giant is working on a gaming subscription service that could further boost Apple's services business.
How will the gaming subscription service work?
Five sources familiar with the matter told Cheddar that the Cupertino company was in talks with game developers to be part of its upcoming gaming subscription service for iPhones and iPads. It would function like 'Netflix for games,' said Cheddar. The new service is still in the early stages of planning. It would allow users to access a pre-selected number of titles by paying a monthly subscription fee.
Cheddar didn't offer details on pricing and availability. According to its sources, Apple would act as a publisher for titles, taking a more hands-on approach with games included in its subscription service. The tech giant could also entice developers to create exclusive titles for its gaming subscription service. As a publisher, Apple would assume the cost of user acquisition, marketing, and distribution, allowing developers to focus entirely on creating games.
The iPhone maker currently takes a 30% cut of the App Store purchases, though it reduces the fee to 15% after a year of subscription. Apple's latest iPhones and iPads are fully capable of playing heavy games. When Apple unveiled the latest iPad Pro late last year, it compared the tablet to the Xbox One.
There is no gaming subscription service in the mobile space yet, but Microsoft offers something called Xbox Game Pass that gives unlimited access to more than 100 games to Xbox One users for a low monthly fee. Microsoft adds new titles to the service every month to keep gamers engaged. Apple's service is said to be similar to Xbox Game Pass, but for the iPhones and iPads.
If it materializes, Apple stands to benefit a lot because the mobile gaming market is growing much faster than console gaming. According to research firm IDC, consumer spending on mobile games surpassed spending on consoles, PCs, and handheld games combined in 2017. Though a large number of mobile games are free to download and play, they offer in-app purchases to generate revenues.
However, it's not going to be easy for Apple. Microsoft is working on a game streaming service called Project xCloud, which is expected to arrive later this year or in 2020. Google is also rumored to be working on a game streaming service under the Project Stream. Another technology heavyweight Amazon is also developing a game streaming service that would allow players to stream games over the Internet instead of downloading them.
Apple's TV streaming service to launch in mid-April
While Apple's gaming subscription service is still in the early stages, the tech giant's much-awaited TV subscription service is almost here. According to The Information, Apple has informed entertainment companies that its TV streaming service would go live in mid-April. Apple has teamed up with several production houses and celebrities for movies and TV shows. The tech giant will also be producing its own content for the new service. It has signed deals with third-party companies like HBO to make their content available through its service.
Apple is telling entertainment companies that its streaming video service will be ready for launch by mid-April https://t.co/nsGRb5KgZz
— Aaron Tilley (@aatilley) January 29, 2019
As per The Information, the Cupertino company would make its TV streaming service available through the existing Apple TV app. The Apple device owners will get some of the first-party content for free. Though the service would launch in the US first, it would be rolled out to more than 100 countries by the end of this year. Apple has more than a dozen original TV shows in the works.
Separately, Apple has revised its App Store subscription guidelines to prevent apps from tricking users into more expensive subscription fees. Many apps represent their subscription fee in a way that makes it look a lot cheaper, while hiding the real details in the fine print that most people don't read. For instance, Tinder represents its 6-month subscription as "$8.83/month" without explicitly stating that you will be charged $52 upfront.
With the revised guidelines in place, app developers have to make the pricing crystal clear. The guidelines say, "the amount that will be billed must be the most prominent pricing element in the layout." Developers will also have to clearly state the terms of purchase as well as how users can cancel or manage their subscriptions. They can't hide recurring payments. According to TechCrunch, there are many apps in the App Store that use deceptive subscription practices.

Quantum Geometry & New Concept of Space
Q-Html Article
Quantum geometry is a generalization of classical geometry. It incorporates various ideas and concepts of quantum physics, into the world of geometry. Quantum geometry deals with quantum spaces. In classical geometry spaces are always understandable as collections of points equipped with the appropriate additional structure. Quantum spaces are not viewable in this way. In general, quantum spaces have no points at all! They exhibit non-trivial quantum fluctuations of geometry at all scales. At the formal level, quantum spaces are described by certain non-commutative complex *-algebras. The elements of these algebras are interpretable as functions over the associated quantum spaces. Classical geometry is the commutative sector of quantum geometry. It is believed that quantum geometry could provide a consistent description of space-time at the level of ultra-small distances where classical concepts of the space-time continuum are not applicable. In principle, this could give the appropriate mathematical framework to formulate a coherent quantum theory of fundamental interactions.
Subquantum Physics: World Beyond the LimitsOf Uncertainty Relations
Philosophical Article
Subquantum theories pretend to go deeper than quantum mechanics. The idea is to provide a picture of physical reality which is based on individual physical systems, completely causal, and statistically compatible with quantum mechanics. Such a subquantum theory is logically possible. A natural mathematical framework for developing the subquantum theory is given by special extensions of C*-algebras of quantum observables. These structures naturally incorporate complementarity feature of quantum mechanics and allow us to introduce consistently (thanks to a special contextuality property of the subquantum world) the concept of a subquantum space. This space consists of all possible subquantum states of a given physical system. If a subquantum state of the system is known, then the values of all quantum observables for this system are completely determined. As a special topic, it is explained how to incorporate the principle of locality into the subquantum theory, using the appropriate non-classical probability theory on the subquantum space and overcoming the obstacles given by Bell's inequalities.
Quantum Principal Bundles
Fibered Article
This section is devoted to my theory of quantum principal bundles. These objects constitute a very important class of quantum spaces. The basic conceptual picture is taken from classical geometry--the idea of a fibered space equipped with a free right action of a Lie group, so that the fibers are the orbits of the action. In the framework of quantum principal bundles, all the fibered space, the base manifold and the structure group are considered as quantum objects. The formalism of quantum principal bundles provides powerful tools for the study of the internal structure of quantum spaces, and gives a coherent mathematical framework for a formulation of the theory of fields and particles over a quantum space-time. Classical spaces are viewable in the new light, too.
Braided Quantum Groups
Diagrammatic Article
In this lecture, a diagrammatic formulation of generalized Hopf algebras is outlined. The formalism covers various examples of quantum spaces equipped with a group-like structure, going far beyond the framework of standard braided categories. In particular, the theory includes completely "pointless" objects, overcoming an inherent geometrical inhomogeneity of standard structures. All morphisms are built from the product and the coproduct maps. Furthermore, instead of just one braiding, an infinite system of mutually related braid operators emerges, expressing twisting properties of the product and coproduct. All braid type identities are consequences of simple axioms. Another interesting feature of the theory is its invariance under tensoring with matrix algebras.
Here is a selection of my scientific papers in TeX, PostScript and PDF formats. The above listed online introductory articles are also available, in the form of a standard paper.
Quantum Activities
This section includes the information about my weekly Seminar on Quantum Geometry at the Institute of Mathematics of UNAM. It also features a basic sinopsis of my periodic one-semestral course entitled "Numbers, Space, Time and Light" presented at Mexican National Arts Center (CENART) and devoted to exploring connections between Arts, Mathematics and Physics.

Can't Say Enough How Well They Took Care Of Me!
I have used Heitzman Body & Paint twice now, and both experiences were excellent. Recently, my car was parked and someone backed into it and split the bumper. Fortunately, her insurance covered it, but they said that they just wanted to patch up my bumper. When I came to the shop, Danielle told me that my bumper was split so badly that it could not be fixed and would have to be replaced. She told me not to worry and that she would take care of it. She called the insurance for me and negotiated with them to get what I needed. She told me she would call when it was done, and I expected it to take a while because they had to order the new bumper. But, she called me in 5 days!! The service was great. The pricing was really good. When I went there 2 years ago, I was pleased, and I am even more pleased now! I can't say enough how well Danielle took care of me and I appreciate that she dealt with the insurance company so I wouldn't have to get in the middle of it. I even called my own insurance company and recommended that they put it on their list to refer clients to because I was so pleased with the service.
