Q: What's the difference between these two circuits? They both work I'm a beginner. These two circuits are the same, except one has the resistors placed above and the other with the resistors placed below.
They both have the same current going through, except the voltage. One has 5.2603V and the other 739.67 mV.

*

*Why do they have different voltages? I still don't really understand how electricity flows from the power source and how this affects the voltage basically.

*Does the difference in said voltages matter in real life applications? For example, I built out these two circuits on my breadboard, and they both work just fine, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

A: Remember, all voltage is measured between TWO points.
It is impossible to measure the voltage at one point in the circuit so if the two points that the voltage is being measured across is not explicit then that means it is implicitly using some other point in the circuit to measure against which is whatever you have labelled as 0V/GND for your circuit.
If you agree that the voltage across the LEDs in both circuits are the same, and you agree that the voltage across the resistors in both circuits are the same then you must also agree that the voltage measured between the ONE point indicated in your schematics and ground must be different (if the voltage across LED and resistors are not equal).
If I am 5 feet tall and you are 6 feet tall these heights will not change as long as you measure between head and feet. But if I stand on your head or you stand on my head, the height between the ground and the head of the person on the bottom will obviously be different depending on who is on the bottom.

A: As others have mentioned, your voltages are more typical of a small silicon diode than an LED. Circuitlab simulation below:

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
The LTL-307EE is a typical modern red LED. Other colors may be more like 3V, IR LEDs will be 1.2V or so.
Note that VM1 + VM2 = V1 = 6V, and VM4 + VM3 = V1 = 6V so the circuit does not really care which order the series connected parts are connected in.
As to real-world differences- imagine you have a grounded chassis and wires running to the LED.
If you short either lead to the chassis in configuration A nothing really bad will happen, at worst you short the LED out (so it doesn't light up) and R1 gets a bit warmer.
In configuration B the LED will most likely be destroyed if the cathode lead is grounded and the power supply will be shorted out if the anode lead is grounded.

A: *

*When circuit elements are wired in series it doesn't matter which order they're in. The same current will flow in either case and your simulation shows that.

*LEDs don't behave like resistors. They require enough voltage to "crack them open" (start to turn on) and then the voltage drop across them changes relatively little as the current through them increases. See if my article What is an LED helps your understanding.

*Your circuits have a 6 V supply and there is 26 mA flowing through each branch. The resistors are easy: the voltage drop is given by \$ V = IR = 0.026 \times 200 = 5.2 \,\text V \$. That leaves 6 - 5.2 = 0.8 V for the LED. (The simulator voltages are measured relative to the ground symbol so that explains why the readings differ.)

The only thing I see wrong is that the voltage drop across the LEDs is too low. The 700 mV drop is what you would get from a regular diode, not an LED.

Figure 1. Typical IV curves for various colours of LEDs. Image source: LEDnique.
From Figure 1 you can work out the typical small LED forward voltage which starts at about 1.3 V for an infrared LED and increases for red (1.8 V) through to UV (3.7 V) hence my suspicion about the 740 mV readings in your diagrams.

A: The only difference is the order of the resistors and LEDs.
Look at just one of the resistor/LED pairs. The supply voltage, 6.0 V, causes a current to flow through them. The current is determined by the resistance of the resistor and the voltage drop of the LED.
In each case 26.302 mA flows through the resistor and LED. This current will cause a voltage drop across the resistor according to Ohm's Law
$$ V = {I}\cdot{R}$$
So
$$ V = {0.0263~A}\cdot{200~\Omega} = 5.26~V $$
and the voltage across the LED is
$$ 6.0~V - 5.26~V = 0.74~V $$
In one schematic the LEDs are on top, so you are measuring the voltage across the resistor, 5.25 V, in the other the the resistor is on top so you are measuring the voltage across the LED, 0.74 V. In a series circuit it doesn't really matter which order the components are in, it will work either way.
The voltage drop across an LED, called the forward voltage is determined by the semiconductor materials it is made from. Different color LEDs have different forward voltages. Infrared ones have the lowest, down to maybe 1.2 V, ultraviolets can be over 4.5 V. The voltage also increases with increasing current.
The LEDs in your circuits are only showing 0.74 V @ 26 mA, which is probably because they are not modeled properly in whatever simulator was used.

A: In the top circuit you are measuring the voltage across the resistors which is equal to 5.2603 V. In the bottom circuit you are measuring the voltage across the LEDs which is 739.67 mV. If you add those two voltages together, the total equals just about 6 V which is the supply voltage.

WataugaWatch: Dallas Woodhouse's "Suppress the Vote" Memo -- "Stunning and Stupid!"
Dallas Woodhouse's "Suppress the Vote" Memo -- "Stunning and Stupid!"
So he's supposed to be a master political operative? The messy way he purged new NCGOP Chair Hasan Harnett, stabbing him in the chest in broad daylight, shows the deft touch of ... well, a Donald Trump acolyte.
Worse, Woodhouse tromped all over his Republican governor's petition to U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts to put a hold on the 4th Circuit Court's overturning of NC's Republican election laws. Woodhouse's memo last Sunday to Republican election officials in NC's 100 counties proves much of the 4th Circuit's scathing appraisal of Republican motives in changing voting laws.
An Ohio State University law professor, who specializes in election law, judged the Woodhouse memo "stunning and stupid."
You know the old saying is true: "Every level seeks its own water."

Thursday, December 22, 2022 -- Federal Biden Intimidators, About That Flag, The Omnibus Hits A Bump
FBI – Federal Biden Intimidators
The FBI released an extraordinary statement yesterday defending its behavior in the wake of multiple revelations about its efforts to censor free speech and shut down legitimate news about Hunter Biden's laptop. Here's the statement:
"The correspondence between the FBI and Twitter show nothing more than examples of our traditional, longstanding and ongoing federal government and private sector engagements, which involve numerous companies over multiple sectors and industries.
"As evidenced in the correspondence, the FBI provides critical information to the private sector in an effort to allow them to protect themselves and their customers. The men and women of the FBI work every day to protect the American public.
"It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency."
Biden's FBI is not only asserting that it did nothing wrong, it is attempting to intimidate anyone who believes differently by mocking them as "conspiracy theorists." That's the same rhetoric the left has been using to shut down debate.
By the way, the journalists who have been working with Elon Musk to release the "Twitter Files" are not "conspiracy theorists." Nor are they die-hard Trump loyalists with an ax to grind.
They are all liberal but serious journalists who have previously worked for the New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Nation and ThinkProgress – all left-wing outfits.
Anybody who thinks it's going to be easy to clean out the corruption in the FBI needs to see a psychiatrist. It's going to be a brutal battle. In its own way, it may be an existential battle.
If we cannot reform this arrogant bureaucracy, put guardrails around it and answer the age-old question, "Who is watching the watchers," our constitutional Republic is over. The FBI has assumed more power than the elected Congress.
Some suggest that Congress could cut the FBI's budget. Really? As we reported earlier this week, there are credible allegations that the FBI spied on members of Congress and threatened them in retaliation for Congress carrying out its oversight responsibilities.
And even after everything we already know about how the FBI spied on Donald Trump's 2016 campaign over a hoax, there seems to be little willingness to rein in the FBI. The omnibus spending bill currently under debate in Congress includes funding for a massive new FBI headquarters building!
This rogue law enforcement agency is censoring free speech and using its power to go after its political opponents. Any politician who doesn't understand the danger shouldn't be in office.
Nearly 50 years ago, Sen. Frank Church warned of the growing dangers to freedom posed by the immense powers of the intelligence community. We must heed those warnings.
About That Flag. . .
I don't know if you watched Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address before a joint session of Congress last night. But I was angry when Vice President Kamala Harris and Speaker Nancy Pelosi unfurled a Ukrainian flag in the House chamber.
It was an unusual sight to say the least, and I noticed this morning that major newspapers did not feature a photo of that rare moment on their front pages today. I suspect they understood that it would probably offend many Americans.
Harris, Pelosi and other leftists were quick to applaud whenever some radical like Colin Kaepernick disrespected our flag by taking a knee. They're part of a movement that mocks Americans who proudly fly our flag on cars and trucks. Does Nancy Pelosi even fly an American flag outside of her California home?
When the Ukrainian conflict started, I noticed very early on in my own neighborhood that the same people who never fly an American flag quickly got ahold of a Ukrainian flag and put it up in their yard -- right next to their "hate has no home here" sign.
I don't have an explanation for why Harris and Pelosi were so eager to hold up a foreign flag, but here's a wild guess: They really admire Zelensky.
While you don't read much about it, he has banned opposition parties and nationalized the media in Ukraine. He has closed churches attended by ethnic Russians. He has restricted the freedom of assembly and the freedom of speech.
In other words, he's everything that America's neo-Marxist left wants to be, and they admire him for his ability to never let a crisis go to waste.
The Omnibus Hits A Bump
The $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill was moving along yesterday, but it hit a bump in the road last night, triggering a nervous breakdown by those trying to ram it through.
Senator Mike Lee wanted to offer an amendment to preserve the Title 42 policy at the southern border that Joe Biden is trying to end. Schumer feared Lee's amendment might pass, triggering a revolt among House progressives that could tank the whole omnibus bill and lead to a government shutdown tonight.
Unfortunately, "bipartisanship" prevailed once again. A deal was struck this morning greasing the skids for the omnibus bill to pass by neutering the Lee amendment.
Under the circumstances, a government shutdown wouldn't be such a bad thing. This "ominous" spending bill is terrible. It's stuffed full of earmarks that spend taxpayer dollars on all kinds of woke projects. For example:
There are millions of dollars allocated for LGBTQ pride and transgender centers.
$3 million for a museum about gay history.
$3 million for the Michelle Obama walking trail.
The bill includes nearly $290 million for Title X "family planning" funding, meaning much of that money will end up in Planned Parenthood's coffers. There's $200 million for a "gender and equity fund," and it takes away the "power of the purse" from the new House Republican majority for most of 2023.
And, perhaps most disturbing, Rep. Dan Bishop highlighted $575 million allocated for "'family planning' in areas where population growth 'threatens biodiversity' or endangered species." In other words, save the animals from the humans.
No conservative should vote for this bill!


NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill outlined today his new vision for six New York City precincts that have violent crime rates more than twice as high as the rest of the city; among the targeted areas are Brownsville's 73rd Precinct and East New York's 75th Precinct.
In the coming weeks, a team of NYPD executives will hold meetings in the six precincts to identify new strategies and allocate resources to reduce crime rates in those neighborhoods to levels seen across the rest of New York city, O'Neill said.
O'Neill's vision builds on the expansion of his signature neighborhood policing model. Strategies he outlined in his speech include a smartphone app which would provide officers with contacts for all government services to connect residents people in need with available resources and help, expanding community programs where officers interact with youth in public housing, and the newly developed virtual reality game "Options" aimed to improve relationships between police and teens, and to present the kids with positive alternatives to crime and gang affiliations.
NYPD unveiled the new virtual reality game "Options" which aims to present positive alternatives to crime and gang affiliation in a playful way.
The NYPD also released the 2019 Commissioner's Report, which includes detailed accounts of key operations and achievements, giving New Yorkers an inside look at how the NYPD keeps them safe.

Baldur's Gate III Multiplayer, Streaming Dialogue Features Revealed
by Alex Fuller · September 11, 2020
Larian Studios put out more details for the upcoming Baldur's Gate III. In a new nine-minute video, the developer showcased the game's cinematic camera, as well as its multiplayer and streaming mechanics in dialogues. In multiplayer, players may be engaged in event scenes, while others are still moving around and can interact with the character involved in the scene (such as pick-pocketing them). The new Crowd Choice system will be available in the game from its first day on Early Access and, when enabled by a streaming player, will allow viewers to vote on dialogue choices, presenting the player with percentage results, after which they will be free to follow the crowd or make their own decision.
The Early Access version of Baldur's Gate III is currently expected to launch on PC and Google Stadia on September 30, 2020. The game is based on the latest fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons ruleset. The Early Access version will include six classes (wizard, cleric, fighter, ranger, rogue, and warlock) and nine races (Human, Tielfing, Drow, Githyankli, Dwarf, Half-drow, Elf, Half-elf, and Halfling) for players to create their own character with, though more will be available in the final release. There will also be five origin stories in the Early Access version, which offer pre-generated characters in a similar manner to Divinity: Original Sin II. Origin characters that are not selected will be available as recruitable party members.

Colombia was one of the three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others are Ecuador and Venezuela). A four-decade long conflict between government forces and anti-government insurgent groups, principally the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) heavily funded by the drug trade, escalated during the 1990s. The insurgents lack the military or popular support necessary to overthrow the government and violence has been decreasing since about 2002, but insurgents continue attacks against civilians and large areas of the countryside are under guerrilla influence or are contested by security forces. More than 31,000 former paramilitaries had demobilized by the end of 2006 and the United Self Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC) as a formal organization had ceased to function. In the wake of the paramilitary demobilization, emerging criminal groups arose, whose members include some former paramilitaries. The Colombian Government has stepped up efforts to reassert government control throughout the country, and now has a presence in every one of its administrative departments. However, neighboring countries worry about the violence spilling over their borders.

Can I switch back to Tysabri from Ocrevus?
After 4+ years on Tysabri I became JCV+ with a high titer #. For the last year and a half, while on Ocrevus, my symptoms have been continuously up, without relapse. Definitely felt better when on Tysabri.
Given the new extended Tysabri dosing regimen, can I consider switching back? Is there any info on switching back that would help make this kind of decision?
We do not have any direct data to answer your question at this time, so there will always be unknown risks associated with this treatment decision. Remember, there may be risks other than PML that we are not even aware of at this time, since few people have been methodically switched from an anti-CD20 drug to Tysabri.
Risk factors for the development of PML on Tysabri given at every 28 day intervals include JCV index > 1.5, lower weight (Less than 60 Kg), older age (over 60) and low lymphocyte count. You can probably mitigate against all of these risks, except low lymphocyte count, by extending the interval between tysabri infusions. Therefore, it is probably important to make sure that your absolute lymphocyte count and T cell subsets are normal before restarting tysabri. If possible you may want to wait until your B Cell count is on the rise, but this could take up 6 to 18 months after your last Ocrevus infusion.

Q: Yammer: Android WebView Authentication I am trying to authenticate an user from my Android App for Yammer OAuth. Using Webview for loading the authentication URL and expecting a code / token to come back. But the results are not predictable.
webView.loadUrl(OAUTH_URL + "?redirect_uri=" + REDIRECT_URI + "&client_id=" + CLIENT_ID);

Also using WebViewClient.
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {...}

In Android 4.4, no URL redirection is happening and it stays blank. Or no code / token comes.
In older android versions, it works sporadically.
Anyone tried this? I am doing this because of the lack of Android SDK. Appreciate any working sample.
Adding Android tag to reach bigger group. Any working snippet is welcome!

A: Goodness gracious, after hours and hours of struggle, finally fixed it.
Problem is I was having the WebView load into a dialog, instead of a full activity. Thats it! The WebView inside a Dialog was loading redirects so unpredictably.
As soon as moved the WebView into its own Activity which has layout height and width of fill_parent, everything worked the way it is supposed to work.

Hockey takes the lead in fighting homophobia
In April of this year, it was announced that the NHL, the NHLPA and You Can Play, an organization focused on eliminating homophobia in sports, have partnered up, and are going to work together to make hockey more accepting of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
You Can Play, an organization co-founded by Patrick Burke (son of former Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Brian Burke), is dedicated to fighting homophobia in sports. The NHL is the first of the major sports leagues in North America to join with any anti-homophobia organization, which is a prime example of the great steps the league is making to be the most inclusive professional sports league. Many NHLers have openly voiced their support of the organization, with several groups of them taking part in promotional commercials for You Can Play. Two current NHL players, Tommy Wingels and Andy Miele, are even on the advisory board, demonstrating the commitment of the league to fight homophobia. The organization goes by the slogan "If you can play, you can play", a mentality that the NHL is very proud to both support and follow. Commissioner Gary Bettman pointed out that the NHL's slogan is "Hockey is for Everyone", and feels that the partnership with You Can Play reinforces that position. You Can Play will be holding seminars at the NHL's rookie symposium, while at the same time making their resources available to all NHL teams and players.
This news was also followed by the more recent story of basketball player Jason Collins publicly coming out, becoming the first openly gay athlete to be currently playing in any of the major sports leagues in North America. The amount of support that Collins has received from teammates, players, coaches and general managers from around the league has been tremendous, and the public has reacted in a generally positive manner. It is a very firm statement of how far the world of sports has come with regards to eradicating homophobia.
However, it is still not far enough.
What Jason Collins did by being the first openly gay athlete in a major sport took great courage. He himself stated that he did not intend to become the first openly gay athlete, it was simply the time to do it. He has done what no one else has done, and he is incredibly brave to do so. The irony is that it shouldn't be considered heroic to be who you are. The LGBT community has made incredible steps in the last few decades to being seen as equals in society, which is exactly what they deserve.
An area that has been slower to react, however, is the world of sports. Homophobic slurs and stereotypes still reign supreme in many locker rooms and arenas, both in professional and amateur sports. For too long have many sports (hockey, football, etc.) been tagged as heterosexual sports, while others are labelled as 'gay sports'. I cannot tell you how many times have I heard people make rude comments like "leave figure skating to the gays", along with many other vulgar slurs being casually thrown around. Whether you are gay, straight, or anywhere in between has absolutely no impact on your skill in sports. It should also have no effect on how you are treated in the locker room.
Everyone deserves to be comfortable in their own skin, and being an athlete is no exception. At this moment in time many athletes, both professional and amateur, do not feel comfortable being openly gay. That is not their problem, but ours. They have the right to be who they are, free of judgement. They have the right to be proud of who they are, instead of being labelled, stigmatized and shamed into hiding.
What You Can Play and the NHL is doing is a great step forward to getting rid of homophobia in hockey (and other sports). Acceptance starts at a young age. If athletes are taught from a young age that sexual orientation has nothing to do with skill, drive and passion in sports, maybe we will begin to see a more accepting culture. Society in general has become increasingly accepting of the LGBT, and although there is still much work do be done, we are moving in the right direction. The world of sports is lagging behind, but organizations like You Can Play combined with the open mindedness of leagues like the NHL will help bring sports closer to the acceptance the LGBT community deserves.
I look forward to the day where a gay athlete is no longer a news story.

A FRIENDLY BOOK: CLIVE WILSON'S "THE TIME OF MY LIFE: A JAZZ JOURNEY FROM LONDON TO NEW ORLEANS" (University Press of Mississippi, 2019)
Many memoirs have, at their center, trauma: abuse, addiction, imprisonment, death, disease, or more. And many jazz books these days are indigestible: deadened by theoretical labyrinths or limited by the author's narrow range or by inaccuracies. Thus it's a tremendous pleasure to celebrate trumpeter Clive Wilson's memoir, gentle, humane, and full of good stories. It's available from the usual online sources, and a good overview is here.
The facts first: Clive (you'll understand why I do not call him by the more formal "Wilson") heard traditional jazz in England in his youth — George Lewis, Kid Ory, Henry "Red" Allen and others — and was inspired to take up the trumpet. Although he studied physics in college, he was emotionally connected to jazz, and he gigged at home with New Orleans-style bands before making the leap to visit in New Orleans in 1964. There he met local musicians, and eventually settled in the city he now calls home. The cover shows a youthful Clive next to Punch Miller . . . which says a great deal.
At this point, some aural evidence would be fitting: Clive and the Shotgun Jazz Band in 2014, playing WHEN YOU AND I WERE YOUNG, MAGGIE, alongside Marla Dixon, Twerk Thomson, and Tommy Sancton:
What makes this book so appealing is almost subliminal. I love first-hand jazz experiences and anecdotes, and for me the three brief encounters Clive has with Henry "Red" Allen — the gradual incline from eager young fan to being seen as a musician — are worth the price of the book. And the book is generously fleshed out by detailed gracious portraits of many New Orleans luminaries: Dick Allen, Dave "Fat Man" Williams, Barbara Reid, Punch Miller, Raymond Burke, Slow Drag, George Guesnon, Kid Howard, Kid Sheik, Kid Thomas (keep the Kids together!), Lewis James, Peter Bocage, De De Pierce, Herb Hall, Teddy Buckner (gently but decisively winning a nonverbal argument in music with a vindictive Leonard Feather), Buster Holmes, Harold Dejan, Percy Humphrey, Emilie Barnes, Manuel Manetta, and more. There are brief glimpses of Louis Armstrong in New York and California and an actual Clayton "Sunshine" Duerr sighting — someone who was only a name in a discography. (Between 1933 and 1936, Duerr played guitar in three New York sessions, alongside Benny Carter, Floyd O'Brien, Teddy Wilson, Pops Foster, Frank Froeba, Joe Marsala, Jack Purvis, Bunny Berigan, and Eddie Dougherty: someone should have recorded his recollections!)
Thus the book is full of close-ups, and since Clive is and was a practicing musician rather than simply a fan, the stories have substance — not only watching Harold Dejan in a street parade, but playing in one. And Clive has a wonderful ear for the way people speak, which he shares with love rather than condescension. Two examples: when he arrives at the New Orleans bus station — fifty dollars in his pocket — he hears two men arguing. One says to the other: "Now tell me this. What I did you that made you do that to me?!" That's memorable: I've been trying to work it into conversation since I read it. Then there's Tom Albert's memory of hearing the Bolden band c. 1904: "I stood there with my mouth open so long, it got full of dirt!"
My copy has fifty or more page-corners turned down to remind me of where the irreplaceable stories, sights, and memories are. And any reader will find his or her own memorable pages. (There's a lovely short piece at the end about what Louis means to him and to us.) But this book is more than the record of someone who aimed for the right place and stayed there, more than a series of anecdotes (how much a plate of red beans and rice cost at Buster Holmes' in the mid-Sixties and the secret of its deep flavor).
Clive does not fashion himself in a self-conscious way: the book is not a narcissist's holiday or a diary. He isn't Holden Caulfield, Huckleberry Finn, or Stephen Dedalus. But from the first pages of this narrative, it's clear that he is someone on a quest — not simply to learn to play the trumpet as they do in New Orleans, but to answer the deep questions "Who am I? Where do I belong? What is my purpose on this earth?" To me, Clive's search for those answers — his journeys back and forth from the UK to NOLA — is the most rewarding part of this book, because we see him as serious in his introspective scrutiny, whether he is asking his rather rigid father a dangerous question across the dinner table or continuing the same deep inquiries as an adult. In this way, the book has a resonance beyond his musical aspirations and realizations. It becomes more than a "jazz book"; it feels, without pretensions, much like the chronicle of the development of a personality, an awareness, a developed consciousness.
Clive is modest both in his description of his endeavors, and there is no self-congratulation, but we see the growth of someone we can value for a kind of gentle honesty as well as for his trumpet playing. And that makes TIME OF MY LIFE a book not only to enjoy, but to recommend to those who wouldn't know Kid Howard from Kid Rock.
A soft-spoken, friendly, yet meaningful work of art, "ça c'est plein."
And here's a little taste:

WITH POWER TO SPARE: LIONEL HAMPTON AND HIS ORCHESTRA (1947-48)
The publishers of the Dutch jazz magazine and CD label DOCTOR JAZZ don't overwhelm us with issues, but what they offer is rare and astonishing. First, they offered a two-CD set, DINNERTIME FOR HUNGRY COLLECTORS, which contained previously unheard Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Lester Young; Don Redman and Cab Calloway soundtracks from Max Fleischer cartoons; Lionel Hampton on the air; Jimmie Lunceford transcriptions; unissued alternate takes featuring Frank Newton, Bobby Hackett, Adrian Rollini, "The Three Spades," Spike Hughes with Jimmy Dorsey / Muggsy Spanier; Charlie Barnet; Earl Hines; Mildred Bailey with the Dorsey Brothers; Frank Trumbauer; Joe Venuti; Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald; Paul Whiteman; Jack Teagarden; Bob Crosby featuring Jess Stacy; Billie Holiday; Raymond Scott Quintette; Benny Carter and Coleman Hawkins in Europe.
Their new issue, "THAT'S MY DESIRE," is exclusively focused on the 1947-48 Lionel Hampton big band, and offers seventy-nine minutes of previously unheard (and unknown) aircheck material. Eighteen of the performances come from November 2-30, 1947, at the Meadowbrook in Culver City, California; the remaining four originate from the Fairmont in West Virginia, on June 29, 1948.
The songs are RED TOP / THAT'S MY DESIRE / HAWK'S NEST / VIBE BOOGIE / MUCHACHOS AZUL (BLUE BOY) / GOLDWYN STOMP / LONELINESS / HAMP'S GOT A DUKE / MIDNIGHT SUN / GOLDWYN STOMP #2 / MINGUS FINGERS / OH, LADY BE GOOD / RED TOP #2 / CHIBABA CHIBABA (My Bambino Go To Sleep) / ADAM BLEW HIS HAT / I'M TELLING YOU SAM / PLAYBOY / GIDDY UP / ALWAYS / DON'T BLAME ME / HOW HIGH THE MOON / ADAM BLEW HIS HAT #2
These are newly discovered airchecks, and Doctor Jazz tells us, "In this period the band was musically very creative and a tight musical aggregation. The Hampton band was one of the top jazz bands in business. In this version we hear a young Charles Mingus performing his 'Mingus Fingers'. We don't know who recorded these acetates, but our 'recording man' was very active at that time (1947-1948). He recorded a lot from the radio and may have had some other sources where he could dub then rare recordings. In 2013 a building contractor worked on an old abandoned Hollywood house in the Hollywood Hills and discovered a storage area that was walled off and filled with several wrapped boxes of acetate records. Among them these Hampton acetates. They are now carefully restored by Harry Coster and released for the first time. The CD contains a booklet of 32 pages including photos and a discography."
Collectors who know airchecks — performances recorded live from the radio or eventually television — savor the extended length and greater freedom than a band would find in commercial recordings of the time. And the sound is surprisingly good for 1947-48, so the string bass of Charles Mingus comes through powerfully on every cut even when he or the rhythm section is not soloing. Another young man making a name for himself at the time is guitarist Wes Montgomery, and the West Virginia HOW HIGH THE MOON is a quartet of Hampton, Mingus, Wes, and pianist Milt Buckner (although Wes does not solo on it). Other luminaries are trombonist Britt Woodman, trumpeter Teddy Buckner; tenor saxophonists Johnny Sparrow, Morris Lane, and clarinetist Jack Kelso take extended solos as well.
The Hampton aggregation, typically, was a powerful one. If the Thirties and early Forties Basie band aimed to have the feeling of a small band, Hampton's impulses led in the other direction, and even in these off-the-air recordings, the band is impressive in its force and sonic effect. Hampton tended to solo at length, although his solos in this period are more melodic and less relentless than they eventually became. The rhythm section is anchored by a powerful drum presence, often a shuffle or back-beat from Walker.
It is not a subtle or a soothing band, although there are a number of ballad features. What I hear — and what might be most intriguing for many — is a jazz ensemble attempting to bridge the gap between "jazz" and "rhythm and blues" or what sounds like early rock 'n' roll. Clearly the band was playing for large audiences of active dancers, so this shaped Hampton's repertoire and approach. It is music to make an audience move, with pop tunes new and old, jump blues, boogie-woogie, high-note trumpets, honking saxophones, and energy throughout. As a soloist, Hampton relies more on energy than on inventiveness, and his playing occasionally falls back on familiar arpeggiated chords, familiar gestures. He is admirable because he fit in with so many contexts over nearly seventy years of playing and recording — from Paul Howard in 1929 to the end of the century — but his style was greatly set in his earliest appearances, although he would add a larger harmonic spectrum to his work.
The Meadowbrook personnel (although labeled "probably") includes Wendell Culley, Teddy Buckner, Duke Garrette, Leo Shepherd, Walter Williams or possibly Snooky Young, trumpet; James Robinson, Andrew Penn, Jimmy Wormick, Britt Woodman, trombone; Jack Kelso or Kelson, clarinet; Bobby Plater, Ben Kynard, Morris Lane, John Sparrow, Charlie Fowlkes, saxophones; Milt Buckner, piano; Charles Mingus, string bass (Joe Comfort or Charles Harris may also be present); Earl Walker, drums; Wini Brown, Herman McCoy, Roland Burton, the Hamptones, vocals.
For the 1948 West Virginia airchecks, Jimmy Nottingham is the fifth trumpet; Lester Bass, bass trumpet; the trombones are Woodman, Wormick, and Sonny Craven; the reeds are Kynard, Plater, Billy "Smallwood" Williams, Sparrow, Fowlkes, with the same rhythm section.
The good people at Doctor Jazz don't offer sound samples, but having purchased a few of their earlier issues, I can say that their production is splendid in every way: sound reproduction of unique issues, documentation, discography, and photographs. So if you know the Hampton studio recordings of this period and the few airshots that have surfaced, you will have a good idea of what awaits on this issue — but the disc is full of energetic surprises.

AT THE SHRINE, SEPTEMBER 29, 1956 // "BARBECUED DISHES TO TAKE HOME"
Posted on July 7, 2014 | 1 comment
From eBay. Of course! The sixteen-page program for the ninth annual Dixieland Jubilee concert (presented by Frank Bull and Gene Norman) on September 29, 1956, at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, California:
Featured bands were George Lewis and his New Orleans Band, Benny Pollack and his Boys, George Probert and his Orchestra, Matty Matlock All Stars, Teddy Buckner and his Orchestra, New Orleans All Stars, and Bobby Hackett and his All Stars:
I know that some of the Jubilees were recorded — issued on Decca and GNP — since Capitol took out an advertisement on the back cover, I wonder if they were involved in documenting this surely pleasing concert:
I find the names in the program difficult to read — thus, I am not offering JAZZ LIVES readers a complete listing of the players — but I am sure the sounds were delightful.
And — serendipitously found — a culinary invitation to a place where the music and the dinners are both hot:
As Captain Video once said, "You can't always time-travel, but you can always eat dinner."

GENEROSITIES OF JULY 1975 / 1976, NICE JAZZ FESTIVAL: EARL HINES, BOBBY HACKETT, VIC DICKENSON, BARNEY BIGARD, BENNY CARTER, JOE VENUTI, RED NORVO, GEORGE DUVIVIER, BOBBY ROSENGARDEN, HARLEY WHITE, EDDIE GRAHAM
Posted on June 5, 2013 | 1 comment
Then and now, jazz critics to look scornfully on "all-star" sets at concerts. Some of the musicians play to the crowd; solos go on too long or were rushed; tempos were brisk; the repertoire simplified; the gatherings weren't always well-planned.
But now, nearly forty years after this jam session at the Nice Jazz Festival, we can only give thanks for such an assemblage. We can note mournfully that almost all of the musicians named above — with the exception of Harley White and Eddie Graham — have departed.
Here are giants.
And you'll see delightful fashion statements as well — Norvo's summer casual; Carter's psychedelic trousers; Hackett's demure mandarin collar, and more. Hines's attire needs its own posting.
George Wein announces Hines; the stagehands move around; we see Duvivier toting his bass and Rosengarden making those preliminary percussive noises before Hines appears, smiling widely. He begins a brisk OUR MONDAY DATE with the rhythm falling in line — and all the flash, daring, and exuberance is entirely in place, forty-five years after his early bravura playing in Chicago. The ensemble that follows is cheerful although the instrumental voices seem to float to the surface and down again — perhaps because of the cinematography of Jean-Christophe Averty (usually known for his incessant cutting between shots) focuses on Hines. Carter is majestically fleet for two; Norvo cool and mobile for his, raising and lowering his shoulder as always.
But little dramas are going on. Carter is dissatisfied with his reed and is working on it; Vic looks as if he'd rather be elsewhere, at a slower tempo (although his bridge is splendid). The other all-stars seem to have decided that the way to deal with Hines' tempo is to split choruses — Bigard / Venuti swap trademark phrases for two choruses (while Bigard plays, Venuti tidies his bow); Hackett and Carter embark on the same playful gambit, but the King looks quite surprised at a squeak and is almost ready to put his horn down for its misdemeanor. Hines returns for two exuberantly showy choruses, mixing lopsided shards of the melody with surrealistic stride, calling the band in for a final chorus (where the camera stays on them), Hackett more powerfully leading — into the leader's showy extended ending: nine minutes later.
A year later, it is Hines (in green) with Harley White, bass; Eddie Graham, drums, paying tribute to early Ellington with BLACK AND TAN FANTASY in a reading that sticks closely to the original arrangement — then a romping C JAM BLUES which is all Hines at his flying best, with an equally flying solo by White and a half-time ending.
What follows is, for me, magic: Vic Dickenson playing a ballad, I GOT IT BAD, with no other horns.
Please note how he quietly puts the tempo where he wants it (slower than Hines has counted it off) and his amazing variety of tones and moods — exultation and pathos, sadness and near-mockery. No mutes, nothing but years of lip technique and experimenting with the kinds of sounds both he and the horn could make. The delicacy yet solid swing of the last eight bars of his second chorus; the entire solo returning to the melody but the very antithesis of "straight" playing. Vic isn't cherished as he should be, for his mastery of "tonation and phrasing," but his vocalized range, his soulful use of vibrato, his balancing the blues and wit . . . there should be statues of Vic Dickenson!
What comes next seems from another world, with all respects to the very excellent drummer Graham — a lengthy CARAVAN, with some reflections of Jo Jones. Appropriately.
It is a varied half-hour, and viewers will have their favorite moments, as I do. But we owe thanks to our YouTube friend (details below) for sharing this with us, and (even before this) French television for having the foresight to record such gatherings . . . against the day when the giants would no longer honor us with their presence.
The begetter of this slice of delicious French television,"belltele1," on YouTube, seems to have a special key to the treasure chest of jazz video rarities. In a half-hour of casual browsing, I saw Eldridge, Brubeck, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Bechet, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Monk, Rollins, Mingus, Teddy Buckner, Louis, Jonah Jones, Ellington, Basie — the marvels are there for the viewing. And he offers DVDs of the programs . . . .

Like the British, the French embraced American jazz before the Americans did, and jazz players found France welcoming as well as nearly colorblind. I haven't visited France, but INA — the French National Audiovisual Institute — sent me some holiday presents that I have been enjoying greatly.
INA has created a national archives of what has been broadcast over French radio and television, over 1.5 million hours, of which 28,000 hours are available on the site. You can see what treasures they hold at http://www.ina.fr. And each day new content is added. Eighty percent of these video and audio programs are available online for free, and the remaining ones can be purchased for downloading or burning to DVD at boutique.ina.fr.
When I first heard about the jazz videos available for viewing, I lost myself for a few hours on the site, watching, among other things, a 46-minute video filmed at the 1958 Jazz de Cannes festival, featuring Vic Dickenson, Sidney Bechet, pianist Joe Turner, Ella Fitzgerald, Coleman Hawkins, Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Eldridge, Bill Coleman, and others.
Two new CD sets show how deeply the French love this music.
http://boutique.ina.fr/cd/musique/jazz/PDTINA001734/jazz-aux-champs-elysees.fr.html
This disc (76 minutes) draws on the radio program JAZZ AU CHAMPS-ELYSSES, which had a twenty-year run. Its creative director was pianist Jack Dieval, and some idea of its spirit can be heard at the very start of the disc where — after an introductory theme written by Dieval, you hear JUMPIN' WITH SYMPHONY SID.
The programs featured a fine French house band, full of local jazz talent, as well as appearances by American and European jazz luminaries, and occasionally a jam session where the participants would be playing from different European radio studios.
This disc — I hope the first of a long series — concentrates on the luminaries and the JACE house band. Those who know their French jazz will recognize the names of Geo Daly, Gerard Badini, Daniel Humair, Michel de Villers, Rene Thomas, Guy Lafitte among others. But the special delights (for me) of this disc come from Blossom Dearie, Stephane Grappelli, the Delta Rhythm Boys, Donald Byrd, Bobby Jaspar, Chet Baker . . . and a trio of exalted tenor saxophonists.
First, there are two performances by Stan Getz and a large orchestra with arrangements by Michel Legrand — a melting I REMEMBER CLIFFORD and an energized PERDIDO.
Then (we are climbing the mountain, in my estimation) Lucky Thompson — with rhythm — explores LOVER MAN (briefly) and DON'T BLAME ME.
Finally (at the apex), two joyous performances by Lester Young in 1956: LESTER LEAPS IN with the SDR big band (Horst Jankowski, piano) and JUMPIN' WITH SYMPHONY SID (backed by a trio including pianist Rene Urtreger). Joyous music.
And the other gift is a two-disc set of live performances from the Cannes Jazz Festival, all recorded between July 8-13, 1958:
What could be better than this picture of Dizzy, testing the waters?
The Cannes set is divided between jazz "classique" and "moderne," distinctions which have blurred in the past fifty years, although the music has not.
The "classique" performances include Bechet ferociously bullying his Fernch compatriots on three selections, tenderly playing ONCE IN A WHILE with Vic Dickenson and Teddy Buckner; pianists Sammy Price and Joe Turner, Albert Nicholas playing the blues.
Then we move into even more exalted realms: a Coleman Hawkins solo on INDIAN SUMMER, four songs by Ella Fitzgerald, and two jam sessions — one featuring Vic, Hawkins, and Roy with French hornmen de Villers and Hubert Rostaing, and a final trumpet joust on JUST YOU, JUST ME — Bill Coleman, Dizzy, Roy, and Buckner. Hot stuff! And the rhythm sections are varied and fine: Martial Solal, Lou Levy, Arvell Shaw, J. C. Heard among others.
The "moderne" disc offers bassist Doug Watkins — always rewarding — as well as Art Taylor, Solal, and lots of Kenny Clarke and the reliable Pierre Michelot. There are substantial explorations by Donald Byrd and Bobby Jaspar, Zoot Sims, Tete Montoliu, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Barney Wilen, Michel Hausser, Berney Wilen, Sacha Distel, Stan Getz, and Dizzy — I assume having changed his clothes for his appearance onstage.
http://boutique.ina.fr/cd/musique/jazz/PDTINA001684/jazz-sur-la-croisette.fr.html
These sets (and the videos one can watch or buy from INA) are marvelous glimpses of Olympians who won't come again.

So why do Empaths and the Highly Sensitive Person needs to ground more. Grounding may sound like a lot of new age hippy nonsense. But the reality is grounding and earthing is part of our innate nature. We are human who's natural habitat is the earth. And part of being physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually balanced involves being connected to our nature, our natural surroundings and to the earth. But the big reason why highly sensitive peoole need to ground more is so many of us are living in and around nothing that seems connected to mother nature. We are living in a technological age, where metal, concrete, toxic, plastic and mand made fabrics are classed as normal. And instead of the fresh air of mother nature were exposed to high amounts of Electro Magnetic Frequences which contain damaging free radicals and positive electrons.
As a HSP since as long as I can rember I was and became sensitive to all sorts of things including those around me. But this sensitivity increased as my health issues increased. I had to leave a job as a fashion designer at 20 being around lots of toxic fabrics. Even though I can only work online at moment due to extreme noise sensitivity. I find too much EMF exposure can play havoc with my central nervous system at times. And find too much noise and busyiness extremely physically and mentally exhausting. You just need to look at a child with sensory processing issues to see how much they are challenged by our chaotic toxic crazy life. A reason why we should be teaching children to ground more.
The highly sensitive person especially those that are empathic are already more hypersensitive to everything around them. They often struggle with too much sensory processing, get easily over stimulated and can pick up and be more sensitive to the energy and frequencies around them. Many find the harsher energies and reality of modern day living quite frantic and some overwhelming and traumatic. This is especially evident in many children who have serious sensory processing issues with autism. This busy crazy chaotic life is often too overwhelming for the physical, mental and emotional body. And often in these experiences the body want's to like climb out of the energetic body, which leaves them ungrounded. Many HSP's suffering from extreme anxiety and stress.
But the reality is most people today are ungrounded. Most people function 99% in their head and have really very little awareness of there physical body. Something I really started to learn 18 years ago when I started teaching relaxation and meditation techniques. Grounding is a huge problem for everyone today but is an even bigger challenge for highly sensitive people. As being ungrounded as a HSP can make life physically, mentally and emotionally challenging. This is something I struggled with for many years despite being taught various tools. Now as someone who is extremely sensitive, highly empathic, with a variety of health challenges that make me more vulnerable to energy and stimulation. I use a combination approach of many of the tools and aids below.
Become more body aware, feel into your physical body, feel into your feet. Tai chi and qi gong excercises can be a great way to become fully in the body and become more grounded. They can also be extremely useful at helping empaths dispel negative energy they tend to absorb or take on.
Reduce time spent online, on your computer, on your phone, away from EMF's switch off your internet hub when sleeping. And more time on self care and self love.
Use grounding devices and grounding support aids, I need to use an electric bed to skeep slightly upright in bed which is certainly not ideal. So I use a crystal grounding mat in my bed and grounding crystals under my bed.
Reduce stimulants such as caffeine, sugar, alcohol, nicotine these play havoc with your central nervous system and impact your ability to feel more balanced and grounded.
Learn to be in the moment, being in the moment encourages you to be more physically in and aware of your physical body. This is especially important for people with any sort of physical trauma to their body, car accident, traumatic operation, long-term physical violence. The last place people with those sort of issues want to be is in their body because of the pain or shock but this causes huges emotionally disharmony in the mental, emotional and energetic body.
Learn To Meditate; meditation not only helps us be in the moment, feel more calm, but can help us feel more grounded especially if it is more proper traditional meditation rather than more guided meditations that are actually more guided visualisations where the person is in their head or heart, often out of their physical body.
As someone who has had extreme challenges around being grounded and fully in my body. I have spent nearly 30 years looking for answers and help to many of my challenges. I found that many of the grounding techniques that as I was taught as a healer just didn't work for me. So as I started to study this topic a lot more deeply aworking with many top healers around the world. I realised that grounding has to be the or at least one of the first skills you need to address. Especially today when we areso disconnected from nature and balance. That is why I created Grounding Tools for Empaths– a grounding toolkit for empaths and highly sensitive person. Powerful yet simple and easy grounding tools, techniques and even products that will help you feel more grounded and balanced on a daily basis.
I need to ground a lot more and would recommend meditations which I have tried.
Also I enjoy walking and being outdoors. Will be doing this a lot more.
Working on being in the moment is really important too.
Wonderful post Eileen and so true. I think also walking in nature on your own is great with no distractions or else you just end up talking non stop to your friend or family!
Meditation is something we need to do more of.

Union members rally at Capitol to protest budget cuts
More than a thousand teachers, state workers and others fanned out across the south lawn of the Capitol on Friday to pressure Republican lawmakers to extend expiring taxes to avoid further budget cuts.
The event capped a week of demonstrations by the California Teachers Assn., whose members lobbied lawmakers, staged rallies and, on two occasions, got arrested for refusing to leave the Capitol after the building closed. On Friday, David Sanchez, the union's president, said that his arrest -– and those of 25 others –- brought attention to the cause of public education.
"It's so sad that teachers have to go this far to get the attention of some lawmakers," Sanchez told the crowd.
Deeper cuts, labor leaders said, would mean teacher layoffs, larger class sizes and shorter school years. Similar rallies were staged in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego.
For their part, Republicans pointed to the budget plan they offered this week, arguing that higher-than-expected tax collections this year will produce billions of dollars, money that the GOP says should be devoted to education funding. The plan doesn't include extended taxes, instead featuring deep spending cuts for state workers, the mentally ill and the disabled.
Labor leaders and education officials argued that those cuts were still too deep.
Over the course of an hour, Friday's crowd shook their fists and homemade signs at the Capitol and took turns chanting "Cuts hurt kids" and "Do your job."
Yvonne Walker, president of Service Employees International Union Local 1000, cast the budget fight as part of nationwide war on public sector workers. "This is an attack on the middle class," she said. "It's spreading, but we're going to stop it right here, right now."
With the Legislature and governor's office controlled by Democrats, labor leaders kept their focus squarely on Republicans. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger did not get a pass.
"We have spent the last eight years battling he who shall not be named," Walker said to applause. "And we're here to say no more."
-- Michael J. Mishak in Sacramento

OFK Titograd je crnogorski nogometni klub iz Podgorice. Trenutačno se natječe u Prvoj crnogorskoj nogometnoj ligi.

Povijest
Klub je osnovan 1950. pod imenom FK Mladost, ali je nakon nekoliko godina preimenovan u OFK Titograd. Godine 1992. preimenovan je u staro ime FK Mladost, koje nosi do 2018. godine kada se ponovo naziva OFK Titograd.

Do 2008., kada se preselio na novi stadion na Ćemovskom polju, Titograd je bio jedini klub iz starog dijela Podgorice.

Za vrijeme bivše Jugoslavije klub se uglavnom natjecao u Drugoj saveznoj ligi i u Trećoj crnogorskoj republičkoj ligi.

Nakon proglašenja crnogorske neovisnosti 2006. godine najbolji crnogorski klubovi ušli su u novoosnovanu Prvu crnogorsku nogometnu ligu. Kao drugoplasirani klub u Trećoj ligi Titograd je također ušao u novu ligu, pobijedivši u doigravanju Zoru iz Spuža.

U svibnju 2008. godine nakon loših igara klub je zauzeo posljednje, 12. mjesto u Prvoj ligi, zbog čega je ispao u Drugu ligu. Ipak, nakon dvije godine klub je ponovno ušao u Prvu nogometnu ligu.
