Janet Dailey's first book -- a Harlequin romance -- was published in 1976. In the twenty years since, she has written 89 more novels and become the third largest selling female author in the world, with 300 million copies of her books sold in 19 languages in 98 countries. Her most recent bestsellers, Masquerade, Rivals, and Heiress, have all sold more than one million copies each. She is known for her strong, decisive characters, her extraordinary ability to re-create a time and place, and her unerring courage to confront important, controversial issues, like alcoholism and sexual abuse, in her stories.All of her novels are meticulously researched, an endeavor she shares with her husband, Bill Dailey. The couple met in 1963, when Janet worked as a secretary for the construction company Bill owned. The two travel extensively to scout story locations, and have visited all 50 states; these days, they are likely to fly, but miss the time when they drove cross country, a trailer attached to their car. Janet Dailey also reads voraciously about every aspect of any subject she writes about; as she remarks, 'Accuracy is important in genre fiction; you have to get it right, zero in on the real details. That's the way to make writing come alive and not irritate the readers with carelessness.'When they are not traveling, the couple spend time at their home on the shore of Lake Taneycomo in Branson, Missouri. It is the part of the country Dailey loves best, partly because, she says, 'The people around me are more interested in their problems and their lives, and that sort of keeps me in touch with reality. They think it's nice that I write, but they really couldn't care less.'Allison Janney has been featured on Broadway (Present Laughter), in films (Big Night and First Wives Club) and on television shows on all four networks.

Kim Kardashian 'Threw Herself A B-Day Party' To Get Kanye West Out Of The U.S.
Source: Kim Kardashian/Instagram (2)
By:Jaclyn Roth
Reality star Kim Kardashian has been working overtime to distract her troubled husband, Kanye West, from the upcoming election, which included putting together an elaborate 40th birthday party for herself out of the country.
"Kim cannot wait for the presidential election on November 3rd to come and go as fast as possible. On a good day, Kanye seems to have forgotten that he is even running for President. But on a bad day, things are not good," a source exclusively tells OK!. "Kim is bracing for Kanye to be triggered by all the press coverage on Joe Biden and Donald Trump that doesn't even mention him on Tuesday night. The plan was to get Kanye as far away as possible from what is going on, that is why she threw herself a birthday party on the exclusive island, known locally as Tetiaroa Atoll.
"Kanye does not handle losing well, and this humiliating defeat isn't not going to be pretty. However, the biggest nightmare for the family is if Trump wins and it looks like Kanye helped him get him into The White House again by pulling votes from Biden as a third-party candidate. If America thinks this week is going to be tense, think about what is going on in the Kardashian/West household!" the insider adds.
FROM BALI TO CALI — WE CAN HARDLY *KEEP UP* WITH KIM KARDASHIAN'S EPIC B-DAY BASHES
The 43-year-old appears on ballots in 11 states — including Utah, Idaho, Minnesota and Tennessee — as an independent candidate. "Our future is free from debt, shame, guilt, worry, stress, war, greed, hate, misuse of power, prejudices, manipulation and discrimination," his campaign site reads.
The Grammy winner told Joe Rogan on his podcast, "The Joe Rogan Podcast," why he wanted to become the President of the United States in the first place. West noted that it is "something that God put on my heart back in 2015."
"A few days before the MTV Awards, it hit me in the shower," he shared. "And when I first thought of it, I just started laughing to myself, all this joy came over my body, through my soul. I felt that energy, I felt that spirit."

However, many celebrities have discouraged people from voting for the rapper, including Jennifer Aniston. "#IVOTED for @joebiden and @kamalaharris. I dropped my ballot off, and I did it early," the actress captioned two Instagram photos of herself with her ballot.
"I voted for them because right now this country is more divided than ever. Right now, a few men in power are deciding what women can and can't do with their own bodies. Our current President has decided that racism is a non-issue. He has repeatedly and publicly ignored science ... too many people have died," she added.
"PS — It's not funny to vote for Kanye. I don't know how else to say it. Please be responsible," the Friends alum noted.
THE KIM KARDASHIAN AND KANYE WEST RELATIONSHIP TIMELINE
Meanwhile, the KUWTK starlet whisked her close pals and family away on a luxurious vacation in honor of her milestone birthday. The couple — who has been going through some ups and downs over the past few months — seem to be in a good place these days, and West even gave Kardashian an over-the-top present for her big day.
"Hologram from Heaven," she wrote via Instagram on Thursday, October 29. "For my birthday, Kanye got me the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime. A special surprise from heaven. A hologram of my dad. It is so lifelike! We watched it over and over, filled with emotion.
"I can't even describe what this meant to me and my sisters, my brother, my mom and closest friends to experience together. Thank you so much Kanye for this memory that will last a lifetime," she gushed.

US Court Rejects FDA Appeal on GMO Salmon Approval Documents
Posted by The Sleuth Journal
in: FDA, General Health, GMOs, Special Interests
Last week, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the FDA's latest attempt to hide thousands of pages of key government documents related to the agency's first-ever approval of genetically engineered (GE) salmon for human consumption. The court's decision is a big win for public transparency and a firm rejection of the Trump administration's position that it can unilaterally decide whether to withhold government documents from public and court review.
In 2015, the FDA approved a GMO salmon made from the DNA of three different animals: Atlantic salmon, deep water ocean eelpout, and Pacific Chinook salmon. The GE version is intended to grow faster than conventional farmed salmon, reportedly getting to commercial size in half the time.
Even though this is the first time any government in the world has approved a GE animal for commercial sale and consumption, so far the FDA has taken a lackadaisical approach to evaluating the salmon's potential for harm to wild salmon and the environment. If the GE salmon were to escape, it could threaten wild salmon populations by outcompeting them for scarce resources and habitat, by mating with endangered salmon species, and by introducing new diseases.
If the GE salmon were to escape, it could threaten wild salmon populations by outcompeting them for scarce resources and habitat, by mating with endangered salmon species, and by introducing new diseases
The world's preeminent experts on GE fish and risk assessment, as well as biologists at U.S. wildlife agencies charged with protecting fish and wildlife, heavily criticized the FDA for failing to evaluate these impacts. But the FDA ignored their concerns, so in March 2016, Earthjustice filed a lawsuit against the agency.
As part of the lawsuit, the FDA is required to compile a record of documents that illuminate the path the agency followed to reach its decision to approve the GE salmon—much like a student is required to show their work for a math problem in middle school. A complete record is essential in all cases. But it is especially important here because the FDA has so far refused to release most of the documents related to its decision, despite repeated requests for that information from Earthjustice's diverse set of clients under the Freedom of Information Act.

Bhubaneswar,Feb 11 (UNI)The rural as well as urban areas in Odisha will face acute water shortage during the coming summer, Odisha Pradesh Congress Chief Niranjan Patnaik today warned.
During last summer, most of the places in the state faced the problem and the people could not get water even for their daily needs, he said and apprehended a severe water crisis in the summer.
The ground water level, Mr.Patnaik said had depleted in most of the places and tube had gone dry. In many places, the ground water has been contaminated and unfit for human consumption.
The Congress chief alleged that the BJD govt in last 18 years has done nothing to take care of such a basic need of the people. Even the Narendra Modi government at the Centre had not taken any step to provide safe drinking water to the people of Odisha.
Odisha, he said, normally gets its fresh water demand fulfilled by southwest monsoon. During the period stretched from June to September, the state gets 80 per cent of the rain.
But the state government has taken no initiative to harvest the rain water which flows down to the sea.
Odisha is mainly fed by Mahanadi and its branches. But the Mahanadi river remains dry through the greater part of the year due to the construction of a number of barrages and dams over the river by the Chhatisgarh government.
Mr Patnaik said, 80 per cent people in Odisha depend on ground water for their daily needs and drinking purpose. The medium and heavy industries set up in the state are extracting ground water heavily for industrial purpose leading to water shortage in both drinking and agricultural purpose.
Quoting the Central Ground Water Board report, he said the ground water level in 24 districts out of 30 in Odisha has gone down alarmingly.
He said as many as 11 states in the country have made the rain water harvesting mandatory for all big projects, but Odisha is lagging behind and yet to implement it.
Around 10 lakh people in Odisha are facing water contamination related problems. Similarly, 68 lakh people are not getting minimum 40 litres of water for their daily needs. Out of those highest 11 lakh are in Ganjam district alone, the home constituency of the Chief Minister.
As promised in our Guarantee Card to Women of Odisha, the Congress government in Odisha will provide water connection to every household, he assured.

As a kid (well, and adult) I've always enjoyed my fair share of gummy candies. And let's go ahead and admit this now, most of us tended to bite our gummy bears' heads off, or as kids, we pretended to have gummy bear vs. gummy shark battles. So when I heard about A Gummy's Life from the team at EP Games realizing those battles into a fighting party game for the Nintendo Switch, I bounced (here and there) at the chance to play this.
A Gummy's Life is a standard brawler that supports up to 8 players either local, online, or with AI substitutes. The game is centered with a cast of gummy characters that take on all of your favorite gummy forms including the: gummy ring, gummy bear, gummy shark, gummy cola bottle, and quite a few more. On top of this, every gummy has a selection of different colors and styles such as a sour sugar coating to choose from. Each gummy is also is comprised of 3 stats that give a slight differentiation as to their fighting capability, but in my time playing, I never noticed any significant changes, or really figured out what each of the symbols fully meant.
This brings up a key problem area with the game in that although it is a very simple game in nature, there are no tutorials, no descriptions, and practically no UI elements, save for a "Press +" icon used in a couple of areas. I immediately was confused even trying to change characters as the selection was not intuitively mapped. I'd advise checking out the Options menu prior to playing to see what combat controls are set up as. In this day and age of no instruction books, developers need to be vigilant in explaining every facet of the game via tutorials or at least nudge the player in the right direction through gameplay. The game does offer a Training Mode, in which I thought I would be instructed more on what to do in combat, but unfortunately this mode was devoid of any instruction whatsoever, and after playing the game's main modes, I found it to be a very unnecessary addition.
Jumping into the big Play button on the Main Menu opened up the game's setup screen that detailed the different maps, game settings, and modes including: Free for All, Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill, and Hot Potato. However, after playing several rounds of each mode, the rules for King of the Hill and Hot potato still weren't immensely clear to me due to a lack of any instruction or goals.
When you do select a mode, you'll generally have up to 15 maps that you can play in. I really enjoyed the design of several of these maps as they each include either obstacles or a mechanism to further deter your combat. For example, you can play on a giant clock face, and during the match, the entire face will drop off only leaving the numbers for your character to stand on. At that point the game actually evolves into a jumping/timing match, where the clock's hands start spinning around faster and faster until someone is knocked off. It's a great design to mix up what is generally monotonous gameplay. However, I also felt that while almost all of the maps were clever in design, they did nothing to reinforce the idea of a gummy world, or anything gummy related. The art style failed to reinforce anything gummy as well and generally felt a bit bland artistically.
Combat in A Gummy's Life is comprised of hitting, kicking, head butting, and on occasion, tossing another gummy around. The game utilizes physics based combat, which can become clunky more often than not. I continually found it difficult to tell if I was actually hitting another gummy, or if they were hitting me, again, primarily due to absolutely no UI such as health bars. The only visual identifier to hits taking place was that sometimes a gummy would spurt out a gummy-juice substance onto the ground. This is another area where I would have loved to seen the game really embrace the gummy fiction, and have bites or chunks of each character taken out as you lost health.
This ends up being the extent of A Gummy's Life. You'll take on fairly lifeless brawls against opponents repeatedly with no progression or goals to be accomplished. This makes the game best played in short spurts; a few rounds here and there at a party perhaps. The game does offer a couple of gummy characters that are locked, but then fails to explain how they can be earned. After several hours of playing, I hadn't unlocked any of them.
I went into this game hoping for a fun, lighthearted gummy-centric world ripe with opportunities to really capitalize on the fiction of gummy characters fighting. I left having played a fairly generic physics brawler. Regrettably the game wouldn't change at all if you replaced the gummy's' with farm animals, aliens, or anything else. There just isn't anything keeping a cohesive world together, and that coupled with no UI, and a lack of any instructions left a not-so-sweet taste in my mouth.
A Gummy's Life fails to bring the gummy fiction to life on almost all counts apart from the characters. With no combat feedback and UI, punches and kicks felt non-impacting and lifeless in the physics brawling. While the game is fun for a few minutes at times, a lack of progression or goals keeps this title on a very short lifeline. The MSRP of $14.99 just feels too steep for this game's offerings.


...teaching large classes because it's much more personalized, and I can help the student learn exactly what they need. It's great to see someone make progress and become confident with something that he or she was previously struggling with. I am interested in tutoring anything related to English, especially grammar and vocabulary, SAT, ISEE, French, Latin, Mandarin Chinese, History and Social Studies, Algebra, Music Theory, and Flute. I am excited to meet my new students!

Apple threatening to ban Parler from App Store: report
Tech giant Apple may ban Parler – a platform founded to promote free speech that has a large user base of Trump supporters and conspiracy theorists – from its app store, which could be related to how it handled the rioting on Capitol Hill this week.
Sean Davis, a co-founder for conservative outlet The Federalist, wrote on Twitter that Apple is asking Parler to engage in "censorship policies" or face delisting, citing two people familiar with the situation.
Multiple outlets reported earlier this week that both Apple and Google were under pressure to remove the app, which did not take down posts threatening violence against elected officials – including Vice President Mike Pence.
TWITTER PERMANENTLY SUSPENDS FLYNN, SIDNEY POWELL, SAYS THEY ENGAGED IN 'HARMFUL ACTIVITY' RELATED TO QANON
Spokespersons for Apple and Parler did not return Fox News' requests for comment.
Parler, which was founded in 2018, was "built upon a foundation of respect for privacy and personal data, free speech, free markets, and ethical, transparent corporate policy."
Some conservatives – like Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rand Paul, R-Ky. – began turning to the platform this year after becoming frustrated with content moderation on the major platforms.
Both Facebook and Twitter locked Trump's account this week. While his Facebook page is expected to remain locked through President-Elect Joe Biden's inauguration, his Twitter feed was suspended on Friday night.
Major social media companies have come under increasing pressure – and scrutiny – for policing content on their websites, including adding fact-check labels to certain posts.
Some Democrats believe the companies need to do more to monitor content posted by users. Former First Lady Michelle Obama, for example, put out a statement following the raid on Capitol Hill this week saying that Silicon Valley needed to do more to prevent this type of "monstrous behavior."
Republicans, on the other hand, have alleged that social media companies engage in their content moderation policies with an anti-conservative bias.

Mr. Essa is the eldest of a clan of seven brothers, all with many children. Mr Essa and one of his brothers live in a village near a military target that was repeatedly bombed during the war. He has four children that were born blind from cataracts and eye deformations after the war. His brother who lives near by has two children, one of which was also born with the same problem. There is no history of blindness in the family and the other brothers who live in other villages have children with normal sight. The day I visited, several of the brothers and their children were at Mr. Essa's house. There were more than twenty children, all cousins, running around in the yard. Five of them blind.
After spending several hours with the family, I was preparing to leave. Mr. Essa invited me to stay for lunch. I politely declined saying truthfully that we had another family to try and find that afternoon in a distant village. The brothers gathered around and Mr. Essa spoke sternly to my guide.
Translating, my guide said that they were from the desert Jubur tribe and that if I refused their lunch invitation they would have to kill me. "What do you say?" said my guide. I replied that I hadn't planned on dying that day. They all laughed and I was escorted into the house for a sumptuous meal set out on the floor surrounded by pillows to lay back on.
The effects of depleted uranium are not limited to the south of the country. After the war thousands of soldiers that had been exposed to DU contamination returned to their homes throughout the country. In the tiny village of al-Abbara, two hours north of Baghdad, there are three families that have children born blind from cataracts.
This village was not targeted during the war and the village has no other history of blindness. All three of the fathers though were soldiers who fought in the trenches of the Kuwait desert.

Q: Nuget package installation failed in VS 2017 (.net core) I created new Console App(.NET Core) and i am trying to add package with NuGet
the package is : Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration
When I click install I get this message:
Package restore failed. Rolling back package changes for 'ConsoleApp1'.

A: I am glad that your problem is resolved, however I believe the solution you found may be coincidental as the Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration has no dependencies on Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore, but  Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.AspNetCore does depend on Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration v1.0.0
I had similar issues yesterday, the same day that many Microsoft .net Core v2.0.0 NuGet packages were pushed to NuGet. I was inadvertently attempting to add v2.0.0 NuGet packages to my .net Core v1.x app, which gave the error

Restoring packages for C:\Users\MrSlim_Is_Awesome\documents\visual studio 2017\Projects\WebApplication4\WebApplication4\WebApplication4.csproj...
  Package Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration 2.0.0 is not compatible with netcoreapp1.1 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.1). Package Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration 2.0.0 supports: netstandard2.0 (.NETStandard,Version=v2.0)
  Package restore failed. Rolling back package changes for 'WebApplication4'.
  Time Elapsed: 00:00:02.1768927

The solution was to select a v1.x.x version of the relevant Microsoft NuGet package.

Amid their growing popularity, Pelissier departed from the band in mid-2004, and he was soon replaced on drums by Bob Bryar; they'd previously met while touring with the Used, as Bryar was doing sound for the Utah act. Relentless touring continued to increase their fanatical fan following; the band headlined dates with Alkaline Trio, scored an opening slot for Green Day, and shared bills with Story of the Year, Taking Back Sunday, and the Used, among many others. As My Chemical Romance prepared to enter the studio for their third album, they issued Life on the Murder Scene in March 2006. The CD and double-DVD package extensively documented practically everything MCR, including demos, music videos, live footage, interviews, and more; it sufficiently tied fans over until My Chemical Romance (now boasting a sober and bleach-haired Gerard Way) issued the darkly conceptual and highly ambitious The Black Parade that October. Anticipation for the album could barely be contained at the release of its grandiose first single, "Welcome to the Black Parade," whose elaborate accompanying video looked and sounded like the result of Tim Burton directing Queen. The record went platinum by early 2007.

Three Key Benefits to Structured Content Authoring
By Laura Rives — Feb 4, 2020 11:00 AM
Structured content authoring enables organizations to easily create, share, and deliver content in different languages, across channels, to AI applications - or all of the above. With this approach, content is managed at the level of titles, paragraphs, authors, images, tags, or concepts through the use of XML-based data.
With structured content authoring, you can eliminate the time-consuming and human-error-prone task of copy pasting content. You'll also feel confident that published web pages are the best-possible representation of your brand.
Using one large WYSIWYG editor to create and maintain web content can be very appealing to a non-technical end user. But trading best-practice techniques for the ability to see changes in real time is a dangerous approach.
Think about creating materials for a single purpose, each piece residing somewhere in your organization. Think of how quickly materials become outdated and difficult to find via search. Now multiply that experience across all end users at your organization. You will quickly have a costly and frustrating situation on your hands.
Here's why structured content authoring is better:
Dedicate Areas to Authoring Content
Your content contributors run the gamut of backgrounds, levels of expertise, and willingness to contribute content to a CMS. They are often most comfortable using Microsoft Word or Google Docs to author content - interfaces void of flowery design elements.
Let them focus on getting their valuable thoughts out, not where an image should be placed or if a video should be embedded. Don't ask them to copy paste what they wrote in multiple places. Save their time and increase CMS adoption by removing advanced formatting decisions and asking them to create content just once.
Similarly, put the onus on them to keep content fresh. Centralized content is quite frankly simpler for Webmasters and Administrators to wrangle. It's easier to keep assets current via scheduled review dates, stale content reports, task assignments, and more.
Create Discoverable Assets
With a decentralized approach, authors can run into trouble finding the asset they intend on editing. The threat of incorrect versioning amplifies with multiple WYSIWYG editors housing the same content floating around.
You also run the risk of frustrating contributors when they find the content they created exists elsewhere in the CMS, they just couldn't find it. Enhance searchability with smaller topics, made possible with structured content authoring fields and the use of tags.
Increase Information Exchange
The most compelling reason to choose a CMS with structured content authoring is the ability to import and export XML content. It is imperative that your CMS 'share with' and 'consume from' third-party applications like ERPs, CRMs, calendar tools, email marketing platforms, and more.
If your content is managed in large WYSIWYG editors, it is very challenging (if not impossible) to publish content to multiple outputs without a copy paste exercise. Structured content authoring saves time, promotes consistency, and eliminates the need to train users and provide credentials to numerous disparate systems.
Looking into the future, authors will soon be pushing content to AI applications including chatbots, speech systems, and custom tools. We implore you to choose a CMS partner that keeps its eye on future trends and focuses on scalability.
While we recognize the benefit of seeing content changes in real time, end users almost always prefer creating content just once and sharing it across third-party tools. Similarly, Webmasters and Administrators will bypass the headache of maintaining a bloated CMS.
Finally, it's worth noting that CMSs supporting structured content authoring have tools in place to grant layout, design, and formatting autonomy to end users. Flexible and customizable permissions make this possible. For example, in Cascade CMS, toggling between a one and two-column layout is as simple as selecting from a drop-down menu. The alignment of an image can be changed with the selection of a radio button.
If you are in the market for a CMS, we encourage you to explore the benefits of structured content authoring and how it's long-term implications can outweigh end-user preference.


One of the most painful and best parts of being a photographer is forcing yourself to look back from time to time to get a sense of where you are as a photographer; to see how far you've come and to get better at what you do. Even though the New Year is really an arbitrary mark in time, we usually take advantage of this moment to reflect on the past season's work and reset for another busy year. This year Eric and I decided to switch things up a bit in our year end wrap up. I've taken a look at his work and selected 10 of my favorite wedding photos of 2015 and he'll do the same.
Starting off, Eric made a great photo of Nicole and Asher while in the back of a limo on the way to their ceremony. There's so much going on in this photo. I love the way my eye travels from the couple's great expressions to the reflections surrounding them and back to their faces. And Eric's choice of Black and White gives the photo a classic feel.
I love Aunt Pat's reaction as she sees Brittany for the first time. Eric was in the right place for this one and he waited for the Decisive Moment and pressed the shutter. Sometimes that's all it takes. In the industry we call it "F8 and be there." That's just another way of saying be in the right place with the right setting and you're gonna get a good photo. It also helps to have Eric's years of experience so you don't blow the timing.
This photo makes me laugh. I love the way the ring bearer is confidently strutting down the aisle dragging the sign. I'm also glad Eric had the presence of mind to get this photo. I was photographing the groom and was unable to get this from the front – another great reason to have two experienced photographers. As an added bonus, Eric even captured the father of the Groom's thumbs up!
Eric captures a great moment of Casey and Brenden during a portrait setup at a wedding at Lionsgate Events Center. I'm always impressed with his ability to think on the fly when it comes to lighting a photo. Must have been all those years at art school that helps him create dramatically lit portraits like this (Second Shot with Kevin Cox Photography).
Another great reaction captured by Eric. As a father, I can imagine this moment as a father sees his daughter in her wedding gown for the first time. Such a great image and Brittany will remember this time forever thanks to Eric's fast thinking.
I love the warm tones of this photo and the pensive look on Emily. The backlighting and highlighted dust motes give a dramatic feel to this portrait (Second shot with Steve Tinetti Photography).
This is a great moment of the couple's first dance as their friends and family watch. Here Eric uses the light from two flashes to illuminate the scene giving a beautiful rim light that gives shape and form to nearly everyone in the image (Second Shot with Kevin Cox Photography).
More great light, this time at the Evergreen Lake House for Emily and Dave's wedding. The sun setting and the loving look between the two really mark this as a moment they will never forget (Second shot with Steve Tinetti Photography).
Eric ended up in the gutter making this image. I love the use of color and fast thinking when it comes to making something interesting happen in a parking lot. This image proves that nearly anywhere can be photogenic if you work the scene hard enough.
A colorful take on an old tradition. Nicole and Asher wanted their wedding to be filled with fun but also wanted it to reflect their unique approach to life. Eric captured this beautifully in one image of Asher removing Nicole's garter.
What a fun year in review, I love all the favorites, you wedding work speaks for itself, you are very talented.
Those are some great photos from 2015! Can't wait to see what 2016 brings you.
What a neat recap of your 2015 wedding sessions! Each of the photos tell a different story about the weddings. Look forward to what you 2016 brings you!
Wow Eric, these images are truly stunning. I got so many laughs out of some of these moments captured, I will say truly priceless moments. You truly have a knack for weddings, I can't wait to see what 2016 has in store for you! Keep up the amazing wedding photography!
Wow, truly there are no words to capture how killer this moments were from 2015. You can tell how relaxes and comfortable your couples are with you. I am just loving the action, excitement, and passion captured in each of these moments! Beautiful Colorado wedding photography!
Wow! These are all incredible wedding images and very edgy and artsy! I love the rich colors in them and the moments you captured. Longmont, CO residents have some local stars to photograph their weddings!
What a wonderful year you had! Such beautiful couples and great images, Eric. I love the one with the ringbearer dragging the sign-priceless!
These are amazing!! I cannot stop looking at the first one. It is for sure my favorite of all 10.
The lighting in your favorite wedding photos are so cool. Your photojournalist style is definitely unique and I'm looking forward to favorite wedding photos part 2!
Thanks Brenden. Glad to hear the good feedback. Part two out really soon.
I really enjoyed your storytelling in this blog and how you picked each other's favorite wedding photos. And each and everyone one of these images are amazing! I would recommend you to anyone in Longmont Colorodo.
Thanks Connie. We'll have to look you up of we make it to the Northwest.
Great images...my favorite is the first one in the limo, seeing the reflection...amazing!
Thanks Jenny. That's my fav too. And why I put it at the top!
Fantastic photography - and what a great recap of 2015 weddings! I look forward to seeing what 2016 holds for you!
Thanks Corey. We're pretty stoked for 2016 too!


Lurking within our genome are short segments of DNA, called transposable elements, which are capable of "jumping" from one place to another. These "jumping genes" have a double-edged effect, both affecting the stability of our genome, as well as shaping evolution.
Understanding exactly what these effects are, and what the evolutionary response has been, is still an active area of research.
In a paper published in PLoS Biology, the research group of Erin Kelleher, assistant professor of biology, describe a gene, called bruno, which moderates the harmful effects of transposable elements, a response called tolerance. Co-authors on this paper include four University of Houston undergraduates.
These results are the end product of years of hard work, which included the efforts of UH undergraduates Jaweria Jaweria, Uche Akoma, Lily Ortega and Wenpei Tang, doing research in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
When faced with the invasion of a transposable element, there are two different ways for a genome to adapt. The first is resistance, which suppresses transposable element activity by controlling replication. Although these transposable elements are found within the genome, they are kept quiet, their activity suppressed.
The second adaptation is tolerance, in which transposable elements are active, but the harmful effects are reduced.
An analogous situation in humans would be a person who has active levels of a virus, but does not display symptoms. The most famous example was a cook Mary Mallon, nicknamed Typhoid Mary, an active carrier of typhoid fever who infected countless numbers of people, although she displayed no symptoms.
Most of the known adaptations are through the mechanism of resistance. Tolerance is a less understood phenomenon. The biggest challenge to studying tolerance is finding populations which lack resistance.
To address the mechanism of tolerance, Kelleher's research group took advantage of a transposable element known to have invaded Drosophila populations. Called the P element, this transposable element invaded wild Drosophila populations about 50 years ago. Since then, the P element has spread to all Drosophila in the wild.
However, given that Drosophila has been studied in laboratories since the start of the 20th century, some lab strains have not developed resistance. Using these strains, Kelleher and her group were able to perform a genome-wide screen, looking for variants with increased tolerance to P elements.
Kelleher and her group screened 32,000 flies.
They found a gene, called bruno, which is linked to tolerance. Experiments show that mutations within this gene, along with different levels of expression, affect tolerance.

Have you ever wondered how the replicants of Blade Runner were created? Concept artist Wouter Gort has.
Gort used inspiration from a brainstorm Facebook group that posts regular sci-fi based "assignments" for artists. The goal for this assignment was to redesign a non-existing scene from the movie Bladerunner. Most of his fellow facebook group members created background scenes, focusing more on the world itself. But Gort chose to really get into the plot of the film. He says "I thought it was interesting that the replicants in the film were made out of organic substances and I thought it would be fun to imagine how they would be built."
His concept design revolves around a "kind of 3D pinter" which features a rising flat surface, and a basin that slowly fills with liquid organic matter. The DNA itself then moves through the liquid to find its correct position and is locked into place by lasers around the edge of the basin. As this process continued, the replicant would arise from the liquid like a print from a 3-D printer.
As a final touch, Gort added moveable parts to the machine, so that it would feel alive when it was on - almost like the Voight- Kampff machine.


I don't want that. I don't want to be a miserable human being but I don't know how else to be. If I change my medications I might become so sick that I actually try to die. And I don't want that, even if there's a strong possibility that changing meds will make me better. I can't get it out of my head that I'll go into a manic episode and nothing will be able to stop it. I can't stop thinking about what could happen, and how my doctor won't know, and what if I just want to leave this world and no one can actually stop me?
Today my friend told me that I can't live this way anymore. He said that I need to ask my doctor to change my medications and that they aren't working. He doesn't want to see me like this. He said that there's a better way. That I could try a mood stabilizer and that I could live a better life with bipolar disorder. I don't know what I'm going to do but I know I want a better life. I want a life where being happy isn't scary. I want to live, like actually live, and not feel like I am just surviving.
I see people out there doing that. I watch other people laughing, working, seeing friends and I'm isolating myself. I don't know how to talk to people anymore, it's like I never had that skill or I forgot it. Bipolar disorder doesn't have to make me into a person I don't want to be. I'm trying to not let it. But I don't know how. Do you?
I don't know how either. I'm just recently diagnosed with bi polar but seems like forever dealing with the same questions. I definitely related to your line, "I want to live, like actually live, and not feel like I am just surviving." It started me on the path of getting help but it's been a struggle just the same.


The introduction to the U.S. Constitution is called the preamble. It was written by our founding fathers to detail the reasons for creating a democratic government. Students are often required to commit the preamble to memory. Memorizing the preamble can quickly be achieved using a few simple techniques.
Memorizing a random grouping of words is much more difficult than text that makes sense and has flow. The preamble was written in 1787. Much has changed in our English language since that time. Read through the preamble with your students and discuss the phrasing. For example, "Secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity" may need clarification. Explain to students this phrase explains the Constitution is meant to give freedom to citizens as well as all future American citizens. Discuss and check for students' comprehension of the preamble language.
Memorize these action phrases in chunks.
Help your students create a mental image of the list of actions in the middle of the preamble. The images should make sense and preferably come from your students' own experiences. Each image should connect to the next image. For example, the phrase "establish justice" could conjure an image of a group of people setting down a large book entitled "Justice." Once the book is set down, they climb on top with their fingers to their lips to say "shhh" and depict the phrase "insure domestic tranquility." "Provide for the common defense" could be represented by all the people on the book being approached by a group of wolves and scaring the wolves by blaring horns. Feel free to allow your students' to get creative, if not silly.
Partner your students together. One student should hold the words of the preamble and the other can recite as much as she can remember. When she can no longer correctly remember more words, her partner can prompt her memory with a cue word. Allow students several minutes to add more words to their memory before the partners switch roles.
Musical melodies make sense to the human brain. Many people easily get a melody and lyrics "stuck in their heads." By assigning the words of the preamble to a melody, students can repeat the song in their minds and sing the words to the preamble. After committing the song to memory, students will have an easier time memorizing the words of the preamble.

Australia's first rehearsal
Guy is joined on stage by four backing dancers come backing vocals, two men and two women.The presentation starts with Guy singing the slower, intro part of the song. The Australian delegation, quite rightly, uses alternative camera shots and frames but the basic concept is that, to start with, the stage is quite dark and the focus is on Guy. As he gets into the fast part of the song, horizontally arranged spotlights from the back of the stage light up and we can now see a series of street lamps on stage and on either side of the impression of a moving road that is being shown on the stage floor (the moving road impression is not too dissimilar to the one used for the Netherlands last year). The same setting is repeated for the background and, as a result, the stage looks much deeper with the road seemingly vanishing in the horizon. Guy looks suave in his brimmed hat, blue jacket and light trousers and his vocals sound really good when he is singing – whether this is because Guy is tired or trying to save voice for the final, he often omits singing certain phrases even though he carries on with his choreography. Having said that, he genuinely looks as if he's having fun on stage; his supporting dancers are doing a great job, too. The stage goes through different colour combinations, there are reds and blues, but it is all executed in a congruent way. There is also extensive use of white spotlights that ties the whole thing together. The presentation finishes in an explosion of yellow light.


Does Muhammad (pbuh) deny Jesus being the messiah?
Does the prophet Muhammad deny the existence of God and God's servant Jesus?
Notice here how Messiah was defined by the author of the 1 John book to be "Father and Son". Islam does not deny that Jesus is the Christ, nor does the Holy Quran deny that the Jews and Christians were called sons of GOD. The problem is that, like every exaggerated religion out there, the "Son of GOD" title became ridicoulous over-blown. This is one of the many things that Islam came to straighten out from the corruption of the Jews and Christians.
Similarly, in Judaism, Idolatry is considered Spiritual Adultery against GOD Almighty. Now I want you to think about this for a second. Are we married to Allah Almighty? Absolutely not. Yet, it is considered spiritual adultery? Similarly, if you take this beyond metaphor, and start speaking nonsense about you are married with GOD Almighty, then you would be bordering blasphemy.
The liar in the 1 John verses, and I am not saying that they are divine or original or authentic in anyway, is one who denies Jesus is the Messiah. We do not deny that Jesus is the Messiah. Therefore, this title would not apply to us. But the title is messed up anyway. How could you be a liar even if you don't believe Jesus was the Messiah?? Again, another metaphor that doesn't mean anything actual. What is it that you're lying about?? It's like one saying if you're not hindu, then you're a thief! What kind of a stupid statement is that??
Again, Islam came to fix this stupidity and put an end to it. The blasphemies and stupidity stop with Islam! That's the bottom line, my beloveds.
1- Were written by unknown people.
2- Do contain alterations and man-made injections in them.
3- Were written by an unknown number of men.
4- Were written in unknown places.
5- Were written in unknown dates.
"Many scholars of the past two centuries have denied that John wrote this book, partly because of their belief that the author fabricated many details such as the miracles and the discourses of Jesus. (The Holman Illustrated Study Bible, ISBN: 978-1-58640-275-4, Gospel of John, Page1540)"
For ample more quotes from several other Bible commentaries, again, please visit: http://www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm.
"We know that his testimony is true"?!
Wasn't the disciple John the one who supposedly wrote the gospel of John? How can he say about himself that "we know that his (the author) testimony is true"?! Isn't this a clear and indisputable proof that the book was written by an unknown person?
And by the way, I know that what I just wrote was actually all written by mclinkin94, because somebody had just told me so! I know it. Don't question it! I was just told that the post wasn't written by me! Even if it has my name on it, and was written using my account. It doesn't matter. mclinkin94 wrote it. I was just told that. I don't remember if whether I actually wrote it or not. But I know whoever wrote it, his testimony is true. Somebody told me so.
Now of course, brother mclinkin94 didn't write my post. But the point I am making here is that with this statement uttered by Osama Abdallah, do you see just how stupid and incompetent, and even a liar (if not mentally retarded), Osama Abdallah is?? This is all hypothetical of course :).
This kind of lies and retardedness and stupidity exist by the bulk in the Bible!
Everyone is supposedly inspired by GOD Almighty in the Bible, and all of their words are Divine Revelations. Yet, we find fights among the disciples, where Peter and other disciples were called "clearly in the wrong", and Paul was called a "false apostle" by several of the disciples and believers. I've went through this in my debate at: http://www.answering-christianity.com/is_the_bible_the_true_word_of_god_june_16_2013.wmv.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where pressure on a nerve (the Median Nerve), where it passes through the wrist into the hand, causes pain, pins and needles, weakness and numbness in the hand.
Carpal tunnel syndrome causes a number of symptoms:
Symptoms of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Pain in the hand, which often wakes you in the night.
Numbness and or pins and needles in the hand, affecting the thumb, forefinger, middle finger and the half of the ring finger nearest to the thumb.
Weakness of some of the movements of the thumb. Those that are worst affected may also have wasting of the muscles at the base of the thumb.
Sometimes people feel the pain up into the lower end of their forearm.
The symptoms can trouble you at any time, but are most often worse at night. People often wake with the pain and find themselves shaking their hands to ease the symptoms.
The wrist is bounded on three sides by bones. The fourth side, the same side as the palm, has a thin covering across it, under which the structures lie that pass into the hand. The wrist bones are called the carpal bones, and this space is called the carpal tunnel.
Space in the carpal tunnel is limited. If anything leads to some of the space being taken up, this causes pressure to build up. The main contents of the carpal tunnel are the tendons which cause the hand to flex, but the structure in the wrist that is most sensitive to pressure is the nerve which passes into the hand (the median nerve).
Such things as swelling of the soft tissues, or knobbly changes of the bones might lead to pressure building up. Often there is no obvious cause, but there are some things that seem to predispose to this:
Arthritis e.g. osteoarthritis.
Various hormonal changes e.g.
Under-active thyroid gland (hypothyroidism)
Taking the oral contraceptive pill
Recent change in occupation / increased use of hands.
Carpal tunnel syndrome may also be more likely to occur when the nerves to the arm are already working at a disadvantage, for example when there are pre-existing neck problems.
Bowen therapy and the treatment of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
This condition can be extremely painful because it is hard not to use the hand at all!
The Bowen Technique is extremely useful for this condition because it is so gentle, yet highly effective. Several treatments will be needed before cessation of symptoms. The Bowen technique will be used to release the neck and shoulders as well as Carpel Tunnel areas.

"The Body" is a thriller set in modern day Jerusalem. During a construction project, a body is discovered that some believe may be the un-risen remains of Jesus. A priest (Antonio Banderas) is sent by the Vatican to investigate the identity of the body. Banderas must work with a fiery Israeli archaelogist (Olivia Wiliams) who has her own agenda to protect. All the while, the age old political conflicts of Jerusalem explode around them.
Initially, I had misgivings about this movie as I thought it was just another attack on our Lord. But I decided to watch it so that I could be prepared to refute this movie to friends who may wonder about Christ's resurrection.
The movie creates initial tension by presenting archaeological evidence that seems to make a strong argument that maybe this is the body of Jesus. However, the movie does a good job of examining both sides of the faith issue surrounding the Resurrection. Banderas' character is not a typical Hollywood cliche priest full of flaws, contradictions, and hypocrisy. Christianity is not set up as a straw man—a silly superstition—to be knocked down by the logic of science. I especially enjoyed the numerous biblical passages quoted as the historical setting of the crucifixion is examined and the technical information regarding archaeology. The tension continues till the end of the movie where, as Christians, our hopes are not destroyed.
The movie avoids any sexual situations though there is some romantic tension between Banderas and Williams. However, there is some profanity and a fair amount of violence as various factions use terrorism to advance political agendas. I wouldn't let children under 16 watch this movie. Some Roman Catholic viewers may be offended as the Vatican hierarchy comes out looking no better than the secular politicians.
Overall, I found this a thrilling movie that made me think about why I believe in our Lord. I think the producers tried to make a thought provoking movie that wouldn't play as secular propaganda. However, this is not a Sunday school educational film.
Positive—I just rented this movie and I thought it was an extremely well done thriller. My biggest fear was that it would end poorly but I was not disappointed. A strong Christian worldview prevails and the faith portrayed on the part of the priest played by Antonio Banderas was so gratifying [especially considering that Hollywood usually does a good job of bashing Christian belief]. I had never even heard of this film and it surely didn't get a very wide release or much promotion from Hollywood. Not a movie for kids but teens 15 and up and adults should find this thought-provoking and entertaining.
Negative—I was surprised to see a favorable review… While the individual parts of this film may not be offensive, the overall message is on a par with "The Last Temptation of Christ". it's just done in a more subtle way. Under the pretty exterior, this is one nasty and subversive film. The message of the movie is that Christ did not really arise from the dead, but instead was secretly buried and his body was recently found. It pits science against religion, a tactic typically employed by secular humanists and evolutionists. Then it say that it does not really matter that Christ is not risen and in fact our faith has nothing to do with reality but is only belief, so finding the body of Christ is not a problem except for the Vatican and various political power groups. The movie portrays the protagonists in a sympathetic light and quotes scripture passages to masquerade as a Christian film. And then the evidence is destroyed so that people can continue their faith. The only person who understands the implications of devoting his whole life to a lie (faith in the living Christ) is the priest who commits suicide. And he is portrayed as a borderline lunatic. At the end we are assured that everyone has their own god, and isn't that nice? Faith and reality need not be in conflict. I happen to believe in the real god who created the universe. He is not just a belief which has nothing to do with scientific reality. The whole premise of this film is to say "What if Jesus didn't really arise from the dead?." The film's answer: "Scientifically he didn't, but that doesn't matter." Talk about using a lie to undermine people's faith… I challenge you to watch this film, consider the implications and then ask yourself whether this film is of God or of Satan.
Editor's Note: If you don't pay very close attention, you can miss some very important details that can totally change the meaning of this film. Without giving away any specific information, keep a keen eye on everything going on. Especially toward the film's conclusion. Your opinion of the film may rest solely on one or two scenes. Overall: excellent topics to consider for any follower of Christ.

Die Forstverwaltung Strobl ist ein Anwesen in Weißenbach in der Gemeinde Strobl am Wolfgangsee im Salzkammergut, Land Salzburg. Sie geht auf das alte fürsterzbischöfliche Hammerwerk Weissenbach zurück. Die Forstverwaltung der Österreichischen Bundesforste (ÖBF) wurde 1990 abgesiedelt.

Lage
Das Anwesen liegt direkt am Eingang des Weißenbachtals, das südwärts vom Wolfgang-/Ischltal zur Postalm abzweigt. Der Bach tritt hier in die Talweitung der Ischl (Ischler Ache), die Flur heißt Weißenbachau.

Geschichte
Unter Erzbischof Hieronymus Fürst von Colloredo wurde hier 1795 bis 1798 ein Eisenhammerwerk errichtet, um das Holz der Osterhorngruppe und die Energie des Weißenbachs zu nutzen. Die Betriebsansiedlung war primär eine wirtschaftliche Förderung für die Salzburger Region Strobl gegen das dominante österreichische Wolfgangland und Salzkammergut, das Roheisen musste aufwändig über Ebenau hierhertransportiert werden.

Nach der Vereinigung des souveränen Fürsterzbistums mit dem Kaisertum Österreich 1803 wurde aber die Holzversorgung für den Ischler Salzberg respektive die Saline Ebensee wichtiger. Schon nach 1815 wurde das Werk dem Salzamt Ischl unterstellt. Um 1832 wurde der Hammerbetrieb eingestellt. Die Werksbauten wurden weitgehend abgerissen.

In Folge wurde die Holzwirtschaft dem k.k. Forstärar unterstellt, und der Sitz des fürsterzbischöflichen Unterwaldamtes beziehungsweise der Forst- und Domänenverwaltung Zinkenbach von Gschwand (Abersee, St. Gilgen) hierherverlegt. 1923 gingen die Staatswälder als Besitz der Republik auf die Bundesforste über. Die Forstverwaltung betraute 8850 ha in den Ortsgemeinden St. Gilgen, Strobl und St. Wolfgang, davon aber nur die Hälfte Wald, der Rest Almflächen und 10 % des Wolfgangsees. Die Försterdienstbezirke waren St. Gilgen, Gschwand (St. Gilgen), Gschwendt, Weißenbach (beide Strobl) und Rußbach (St. Wolfgang), ab 1973 nurmehr drei. 1990 wurde Strobl mit der Forstverwaltung Bad Ischl vereint, und die Verwaltung abgesiedelt (die salzburgischen Teile wurde dann 1997 dem Forstbetrieb Hintersee zugeteilt, 2004 dem Forstbetrieb Flachgau-Tennengau in Abtenau).

Die Gebäude Weißenbach Nr. 1 und 2 gehören noch immer den Bundesforsten, und sind vermietet.

1802 kam hier, als Sohn des Rechnungsführers des Hammerwerks, Vinzenz Maria Süß, der Begründer des Salzburger Museums Carolino Augusteum, auf die Welt. 1814 oder 15 wurde hier Josef Lasser von Zollheim geboren, Verfassungsjurist, mehrmaliger Minister und Statthalter von Tirol.

Baulichkeiten
Das Haus Nr. 2, ehemals Arbeiterwohnhaus, ist ein zweistöckiger Bau mit drei Risaliten ostseitig und Walmdach. Das eigentliche Forsthaus (Nr. 1), südlich davon, ist kleiner, und hat beidseitig einen Mittelrisalit.

Es ist noch weitgehend im spätbarocken Bauzustand erhalten und steht unter Denkmalschutz ().

The team I work with has been using and measuring engagement loops (we call them "news loops") for about a year, now, and I'm one of the skeptical ones.
Here's why I don't think engagement loops are that helpful: unlike viral loops, it's not bad if it's not self-sustaining. In engagement loops users only get "credit" if their activity directly spawns more activity.
But in talking face-to-face with teenagers about how they use social sites, they say it's very rare for them to actually click on a notification. Rather, a notification "primes" them for the experience and once they get enough notifications (or enough high-value notifications) they just go to the site and do whatever they'd normally do.
Put another way, imagine the best case scenario. Your product has become part of a customer's daily ritual, like Facebook has for a lot of people. In that case they might never click on a notification. Instead, they just do whatever needs doing when they return to the site a few times per day.
In that situation the loop coefficient is zero, but that's a good thing!
In short, I think this metric is "too composite" and hides, rather than illuminates, useful information. I'd be reluctant to do an A/B test which optimizes the engagement loop coefficient, for example.
I'd just add that since I come from a pure math background this idea was very appealing to me when we first came across it. Why, we just unified acquisition and engagement!
But from a pragmatic perspective I think it's a dangerous thing to rely on when making concrete product decisions.
I think you'll find, for example, that the original growth of sites like Facebook and LinkedIn was dominated by notifications. They only became positioned as a must-do-every-day product later.
Sure, I understand that. But fatigue is only one possible explanation.
What I'm saying is that from the perspective of the engagement loop, failure and success look very similar. How do you distinguish users no longer clicking because of fatigue versus users no longer clicking because of the behavior I described above?
The engagement loop alone can't tell you, can it? This is unlike the viral loop where the coefficient really is the coefficient -- the higher it is the more viral you are and the faster your growth will compound, period.
And if we're going to be bringing in supplemental metrics to help us understand the engagement loop, why not just use the constituent metrics in the first place?
I just think there are less complex metrics, or set of metrics, that serve the same tactical purpose and don't suffer from this problem.
@Jesse - I don't think you're responding to what I am saying, or to the original article or slides. I am not arguing that we should use engagement loop metrics to guide product or business decisions, and I'm certainly not advocating that we use them primarily.
I see. So this is mostly academic, then? What good are these metrics if they don't help guide product or business decisions?
I'm not trying to be snarky, honest! I'm just not sure I follow you.
Thanks for being patient with me, BTW. I feel a little stupid for pushing the issue this hard -- I'm sure I'm missing something.
They are good only in certain circumstances. If you understand your product's positioning, then you can decide which of the levers of engagement makes the most sense to use to drive up engagement.
For example, consider a site like Facebook in its early days. Most people are going to hear about the site for the very first time via an organic notification, when a friend signs up for the site (or tags them in a photo, etc). No positioning exists yet in the mind of the prospect. Most of the time, they will ignore the notification, but they will remember that their friend sent it. Thus, each organic notification serves to build up the positioning of the product as "something these friends use."
In that situation, focusing on the engagement loop might make sense. Again, I would not advocate for focusing on the engagement loop exclusively, nor for making its metrics the company's top-line goal. Instead, I always recommend making macro metrics the main goal, like the actual engagement rate of a cohort of customers (see the slide on "Measure the Macro").
In any event, even in the case you cited above, where customers don't ever directly respond to notifications, I think they are still important. Customers remember that they received the notification and this impacts their behavior as well as the positioning of the product. I would bet (although I don't have the data) that for normal (non-hyper-addict) Facebook users, the time between logins is strongly correlated with the number of high-quality notifications they receive.
Oh, yes, ok. Insofar as thinking about the "engagement loop" helps you understand the constituent variables I agree it's very important. Each of those levers -- conversion rate, action/user, msgs/action, etc. -- are important when thinking about how and why users engage with your product.
It's the roll-up into one all-encompassing number that guides your product decisions that I'm skeptical about, but I see that that's not what you're interested in at all.
Thanks for the good back-n-forth, guys. Very helpful extension of the original post.
Eric, Great presentation tonight. I enjoyed the content and the message of placing more emphasis on engagement and positioning to drive value.

Michael Tippett: A Retrospective [Mark Padmore, Craig Ogden, Steven Osborne, Heath Quartet at Wigmore Hall]
Tippett
The Blue Guitar
Piano Sonata No.4
Songs for Achilles
String Quartet No.4
Craig Ogden (guitar), Steven Osborne (piano), Mark Padmore (tenor), Heath Quartet [Oliver Heath & Cerys Jones (violins), Gary Pomeroy (viola) & Christopher Murray (cello)]
Reviewed by: Richard Whitehouse
Reviewed: 17 January, 2014
Venue: Wigmore Hall, London
The season following the BBC Symphony Orchestra's cycle of his symphonies, a (timely) Tippett revival continues with such as this Wigmore Hall programme mainly focussing on instrumental works from his later years. Those that featured in the first half followed on in direct succession – written between what was then seen as his summative choral work, The Mask of Time, and the still largely dismissed final opera, New Year. The Blue Guitar (1983) has received surprisingly few hearings since Julian Bream launched it to notable success three decades ago, but this is due less to its ostensible difficulty than to the relative dearth of guitarists to have continued the trail blazed by Bream and John Williams all those years ago. One such is Craig Ogden – who first came to prominence with this piece and whose advocacy was evident in his lucid handling of the quixotic mood changes in 'Transforming', reflexive agility of 'Juggling' and intensifying inwardness of 'Dreaming': so that the piece emerged less as a disjunctive suite than as the growing totality which its composer doubtless intended.
Although Tippett's Fourth Piano Sonata (1984) has not been neglected since Paul Crossley gave the first performance, its length and complexity (not prolixity) have mitigated against its acceptance. Fortunately a younger generation of pianists has taken up the challenge: not least Steven Osborne, whose approach left no doubt as to its overall cohesiveness. A major factor here was his underlining of the marked contrast between the opening two movements – the emotional ambivalence of the first brought into purposeful accord with the greater decisiveness of the second; setting up a formal and expressive duality that is opened out and intensified by those movements that follow. The looming chords and wistful musing of the third were duly interrupted by the visceral outburst at its centre, while the ceaseless energy and intricate passagework of the fourth were rendered as a cumulative curve that climaxed with the emergence of a songful theme that is the basis of the finale's five variations: the music dissolving in a haze of trills as to reinforce the Beethovenian inheritance with rapt affirmation.
Next a welcome revival of Songs for Achilles (1961) that followed in the wake of Tippett's second (and arguably greatest) opera King Priam. Indeed, the overall sequence makes for a telling overview of the protagonist in question – ranging from the self-absorption evident in the opening 'In the tent' (taken almost literally from the start of the opera's second Act), via the realisation in the central 'Across the plain' that such vacillation has caused his beloved Patroclus to take up the Greek cause and so bring about his death at the hands of Hector, to the heightened invocation to his mother and his fatalistic envisioning of his killing of Hector then of his own death at the hands of Paris. While not the first song-cycle for voice and guitar, this is surely the first to make such timbral and textural contrasts central to its musical content: something that came across strongly in this mesmeric account in which Mark Padmore's fearless vocal line – as in the war cries of the second song – was complemented by Ogden's dexterity in such as the quizzical solos framing the third setting.
Finally to what has been considered one of Tippett's most intractable works. Appearing over three decades after its predecessor, the Fourth String Quartet (1978) continues on from his Fourth Symphony in its amalgamating of widely contrasting ideas within a continuous and cumulative design. Although a four-movement progression can be discerned, this is secondary to its gradual and frequently oblique evolution – taking in the all-round equivocation of its introductory section, through the formal dislocation of a nominal sonata-allegro then the distanced poise of a slow movement, to the expressive charge of the extended finale where shades of Beethoven's Grosse Fuge are juxtaposed with earlier ideas in a process that culminates not with any clinching apotheosis but a coda where the work's conflicts are not so much resolved as sublimated in one of this composer's most ravishing conclusions. A work to which the Heath Quartet did ample justice whether technically or interpretively, setting the seal on a memorable evening of music and music-making.
