Video game concerts are growing in frequency, bringing game music to real life. One of Nintendo's premier franchises gets the symphonic treatment tomorrow in Portland, Oregon with The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses. Matching a full orchestra with videos of various Zelda games, the concert blends old and new media for the audience.
The Portland performance of Symphony of the Goddesses brings together a 80-piece symphony and a 24-piece orchestra. Playing at the Keller Auditorium, attendees watch collages from classic games while listening to compositions by Nintendo's Koji Kondo. Though music from classic games like the original game and A Link to the Past will surely be involved, there'll also be pieces from more recent games like Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild.
Video game concerts blend digital games and physical space together in interesting, powerful ways. I wrote a few months back about the Kingdom Hearts orchestral concert I attended in New York, and even without a deep knowledge of the series I still enjoyed the presentation. Many of the attendees showed out their love of the franchise by dressing up as various characters and singing along with various themes. These kinds of shows allow both the performers and the fans in audience to celebrate the game and its legacy together. Still, for newcomers, the narratives created in the video collages played during the music share experiences from the games. This makes sure that even people unfamiliar with the game still share in some of the memories and feelings with others.
All those things said, the center stage of the performance is the music and the performers themselves. There's a tactile experience in live performance that doesn't match recordings, and experiencing music with a crowd of other fans carries its own energy. There'd be something to recommend even in just attending an orchestra concert of any kind, but there's a special potential when it comes to blending one of our newest, most dynamic art forms with one of our most classic. A part of me still feels stunned every time I realize there are paid, concert-level professionals touring the world to play video game music: our craft, our passions are growing up.
The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses starts tomorrow, September 23rd, at 8p PDT. More information and tickets are available for the show at the Portland'5 website.

Changes to REDMA: Developer Obligations for Assignments of Purchase Agreements come into Force
By Bradley Cronquist November 30 2018
Categories: Blog, Real Estate
The Province of British Columbia has approved the amendments to the Real Estate Development Marketing Act ("REDMA") and the Real Estate Development Marketing Regulation in order to facilitate the disclosure of information to provincial and federal authorities under the Condo and Strata Assignment Integrity Register or "CSAIR". The changes in REDMA and the accompanying Regulation impose significant reporting requirements on developers who permit the assignment of Purchase Agreements of building strata lots. The term "assignment" has been given a broad definition in the Act to mean any change to a purchaser. This will likely include a wife adding a husband to the purchase, or an individual having his company complete the purchase.
The changes take effect on January 1, 2019 and developers need to take the steps as set out below.
Purchase Agreements
Developers must amend their Purchase Agreements to say that no assignments are permitted, or that all assignments must be consented to by the Developer and each assignor and assignee must give personal information as prescribed in the regulations.
CSAIR
Developers will be required to collect, record and report, on a quarterly basis, prescribed information of each assignor and assignee, and the details of all assignments of Purchase Agreements to an administrator designated under the Property Transfer Tax Act. To be able to report the information, developers must establish an account with the Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia by March 30, 2019, the end of the first reporting period required under CSAIR.
Assignment Agreements
All assignment agreements must include particulars of the assignment, including, but not limited to, the date of purchase agreement, the date of the developer's consent to the assignment, the effective date of the assignment, any assignment fee paid to the developer and any amount paid to the assignor for the assignment. Prior to consenting to an assignment, developers must have collected the legal name, date of birth, Social Insurance Number, address and other details of all assignors and assignees of a contract of purchase and sale. The developer must retain the assignment agreement for 6 years.
Unless a Developer has transferred all units in a project, each Disclosure Statement must be amended to set out the changes to the Purchase Agreement and the terms of assignment.
For your information, below are links to the relevant legislative changes.

EHS Working Group: Environmental Hazards of Harmful Substances

Studying the behaviour of chemicals in the sea, identifying floaters at CEDRE (France)
Lead Agency: International Maritime Organization
The GESAMP/EHS Working Group was established in 1974 to evaluate the environmental hazards of harmful substances carried by ship and provide related advice, as requested, particulary by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The hazard evaluations are carried out based on the criteria set out in the GESAMP Reports and Studies No.64 – Revised GESAMP Hazard Evaluation Procedure for Chemical Substances Carried by Ships, 2nd edition (2014). This procedure has been revised a number of times since the EHS WG was first established to reflect changes and improvements in the established methodologies for assessing hazard end-points over time. This current edition of the procedure replaces all previous versions. The EHS Working Group meets once a year to evaluate submissions of harmful liquid substances and to assign what are known as 'GESAMP Hazard Profiles (GHP)' for the respective substances. The resulting profiles are added to a rolling list containing all GHPs assigned by the Working Group since its inception, which is updated and published annually by IMO.
The results of these evaluations are then used to establish appropriate carriage requirements by IMO bodies for the bulk transport of such 'noxious hazards substances' by ship, in accordance with the provisions set out in the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) and the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (IBC Code).

Cooperative consumer-members are best served by directors who are well-versed in democratic principles and who understand the industry and how this industry can move forward to meet changing demands.
Their education is the cornerstone of effective self-governance.
Our bylaws, Section 4.02, require they be certified within their first term of office.
The fifth cooperative principle states that cooperatives provide education and training for their members, elected representatives, managers, and employees.
This is so they can contribute effectively to the development of their cooperatives.
Early co-operators lived in societies where education was reserved for the privileged, but they recognized then, as today, that education was fundamental to transforming their lives – a key to enlightenment and social progress. And they recognized their responsibility to help in the education of their cooperative members and their families by allocating part of their organization's trading surplus to education. Education was and remains the lifeblood of all cooperatives. It is a driver of cooperative development, and is important across all areas of cooperation.
Serving an average of 18,459 consumers in six counties with assets totaling over $118 million and annual revenues of $43,814,317, CEC is a complicated business in a rapidly changing industry and requires a high level of competence and professionalism. It is critically important for the Director's to receive continued education to become and remain knowledgeable so they can best serve the member owners.
NRECA's Director Certificate Programs are specifically designed to help electric cooperative directors, at every stage of their service, understand their roles and responsibilities, stay up-to-date on the key issues and trends in the industry and prepare them to meet the challenges facing electric cooperatives now and in the future.
Credentialed Cooperative Director (CCD) Certificate — The Credentialed Cooperative Director (CCD) curriculum consists of five courses designed to provide essential knowledge and skills required of cooperative directors: Director Duties & Liabilities, Understanding the Electric Business, Board Operations & Process, Strategic Planning, and Financial Decision-Making.
Board Leadership Certificate (BLC) — For directors who have already completed the Certified Cooperative Director (CCD) Certificate, the Board Leadership Certificate (BLC) is the next step in advancing the knowledge and experience directors need to govern their board effectively. The BLC can be attained after earning the CCD and then completing a total of 10 credits from the 900-level courses listed below. The credit value is indicated after the decimal point for each course. For example, course 901.1 provides one (1) credit and course 951.2 provides two (2) credits. Directors may attend BLC courses at any time but the BLC will not be awarded until the CCD program requirements are completed. Directors are free to enroll in any of the courses available in the BLC series. We suggest that all directors complete five specific BLC courses—indicated with a single asterisk (*) in the list below—as part of the 10 credits needed to earn the BLC. These courses cover five subject areas important for every director: the purpose and value of the cooperative business model, bylaws, policy development, ethics, and political engagement. This recommendation does not imply a mandatory requirement and all directors remain free to choose from any of the available BLC courses to satisfy the 10 credits required for the BLC.
Director Gold — This certificate recognizes directors who have earned their CCD and BLC and are committed to continuing their education throughout their service on the board. Director Gold is an addition to NRECA's Director Education Program – it does not replace or change any of the existing Director Education credentials earned by directors, including the Credentialed Cooperative Director (CCD) or Board Leadership Certificate (BLC). Directors who have earned their CCD and BLC and have completed 3 BLC credits after earning their BLC, are eligible to receive their Director Gold certificate of completion.
Each course lasts for at least eight hours and is $588 each, a total of $10,584 to achieve a Director Gold certificate. Most of that fee goes towards the instructor and the development of the course and course materials.
It is very much like taking a college, university, or vocational-technical course.
Training is imperative and the leaders of the cooperative (Board members, managers, department heads, employees, etc.) MUST stay informed and educated about not only the electric cooperative industry, but the electric utility industry in general. Board members have a fiduciary responsibility to the Cooperative and its members to be as educated and informed as possible so that the BEST POSSIBLE DECISIONS can be made for the coop and for the coop's members.
Travel, lodging, and meals are not included in the price of the course and can vary depending on the location.
NRECA also offers director education courses throughout the year in conjunction with a variety of NRECA educational conferences and events across the country.
Directors Conference — NRECA's annual Directors Conference offers plenary sessions, classroom instruction and enrichment opportunities through exposure to industry experts, specialized work in small-group learning labs, and interactions with peers.
NRECA Annual Meeting — The NRECA Annual Meeting, which attracts upwards of 5,000 members, showcases national and world-class industry, technology and legislative experts. Delegates attending the Annual Meeting set NRECA's legislative and organizational agenda for the following year. In addition to considering and acting upon policy resolutions, delegates receive reports from NRECA officials, hear addresses by key public figures and business experts, and attend educational forums on major issues affecting electric co-ops and their consumer- owners.
Regional Meetings — NRECA Regional Meetings occur each fall across the nation and enable thousands of cooperative leaders to discuss challenges on a grassroots level as well and hear from top-rated speakers.

International Sustainability Standards Board Updates: Progress Towards A Global Baseline
By Mellissa Campbell Duru & Lauren Gluzman on November 7, 2022
In October 2022, the International Sustainability Standards Board ("ISSB") met to discuss comments received and future work pertaining to the ISSB's proposed disclosure standards for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information ("Draft S1") and Climate-related Disclosures ("Draft S2").
The ISSB's reconsideration of topics addressed in its proposed disclosure standards provides insight into the progress the ISSB is making towards the development of a global baseline of sustainability-related standards. Additionally, the ISSB's clarification of certain proposed disclosure standards might also inform the key debates that jurisdictions worldwide are deliberating as they consider and finalize their mandatory climate-related disclosure requirements. Below we summarize the ISSB's background; key topics discussed during the October meetings; and the ISSB's "next steps" with respect to the finalization of the Drafts.…

There are several "must have" items to make a day on a Florida beach comfortable. Florida's Historic Coast has 42 miles of Atlantic coastline stretching from Ponte Vedra to the north to Marineland to the south. With that much beach to see and enjoy on your vacation, here's a list of 8 things you'll need to have fun on the shore.
Be careful with your skin. The sun's rays can be damaging. Even if it is cloudy or overcast, you can still get a burn. And reapply it often, especially after going into the water. You'll find sunscreen at any local beach shop, drugstore, grocery store or bring some along with you from home.
And plenty of it. Avoid sugary soft drinks or juices. You will stay hydrated better by drinking water throughout the day.
Sunglasses and a hat. More than just a great fashion accessory, sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. A wide-brimmed hat offers great protection, too!
A multi-purpose item to bring to the beach. Spread it out for a place to lounge. Use it after a swim.
You are welcome to bring your own food to the beaches. Please be courteous and deposit all your trash at a nearby trashcan or if there's not a trashcan nearby, please take it with you.
Surfboard, boogie board or skim board. If you didn't bring your own and you want to have more fun in the ocean than just a swim, try a surfboard, boogie board or skim board. Depending on your skill level, there's a board for you. Barney's also delivers boards. And you can rent from local surf shops or there are often vendors on the beach.
Bucket or other container to keep the shells you'll collect. Kids of all ages love to take home a souvenir. Seashells make a perfect memento. Hunting for them is the best part. The beaches along the GTM Preserve between Vilano Beach and Ponte Vedra Beach are the best for shelling. At Mickler's beach in Ponte Vedra, you may even find a shark's tooth.
Beach wheelchairs are available upon request at no charge on a first come first serve basis by St. Johns County. Please note that three days advance notification is required to reserve a wheelchair. To make a reservation, please call contact Danielle Fountain, (904) 209-0752. If the county's wheelchairs are not available, there are several companies you can rent from including Barney's Beach Services, Solano Cycle of St. Augustine.
Remember, the beach is there for everyone. Be courteous.
There are off beach parking lots at the St. Johns County Pier Point Park, several lots along A1A in Vilano Beach, at Mickler's Park in Ponte Vedra, at Butler Beach Park, Anastasia State Park, North Beach Vilano, Surfside Vilano Beach and the GTM Research Reserve.
Beginning in May each year, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., daily, on-beach driving passes will be for sale at area toll booths. Daily fees for the 2018 beach season are $10 for residents and non-residents, and $5 for handicap and active military. Annual passes are $50 for residents, $100 for non-residents, and $40 for a handicap pass.
Lifeguards will begin limited duty in March, with full lifeguard coverage beginning Memorial Day Weekend.
Deposit all your trash at a nearby trashcan or if there's not a trashcan nearby, please take it with you.
If you dig holes on the beach, please fill them in before you leave. These holes can be the difference between life and death for sea turtle hatchlings trying to get to the water.
Do not leave coolers, towels, chairs or other items behind on the beach. They can be a danger to others.
Stay off of dunes and away from areas that are surrounded by stakes and tape marking sea turtle nests.

New Exec. Director for Portland Farmers Market
Portland Farmers Market Welcomes Katy Kolker as New Executive Director
Portland, Ore. – April 6, 2021 – Portland Farmers Market, which operates five farmers markets in Portland, has named Katy Kolker as its new executive director. Kolker joins the organization as Trudy Toliver retires following a fruitful 10-year tenure leading the nonprofit.
Kolker's vast experience with organizations focused on urban agriculture, climate justice, and food equity have prepared her to lead Portland Farmers Market (PFM) on issues that affect vendors and shoppers alike. She is the founder of the nonprofit Portland Fruit Tree Project, where she served as executive director for 10 years, and has most recently been the executive director of Families for Climate. She has participated in strategic planning for both organizations, as well as for Cully Farmers Market and Growing Gardens. And she served as the chair of the Multnomah Food Policy Council's Urban Agriculture Committee, advocating for policy change to benefit farmers and growers alike. Her work has earned her numerous awards, including the Skidmore Prize from Willamette Week and the Innovators award from 1000 Friends of Oregon.
For decades, Kolker has been part of teams advancing diversity, equity and inclusion within organizations. As interim executive director at 350PDX, she led a dedicated team to advance the organization's equity and inclusion goals through assessments, trainings, and structural and cultural changes. At Portland Fruit Tree Project, she actively engaged populations at high risk of hunger and food insecurity, and she built partnerships to ensure that programs were accessible and inclusive. This work will continue to be at the forefront of her leadership at PFM.
"I look forward to continuing the efforts of the market staff in expanding access to fresh, local and nutritious food, and providing more pathways for BIPOC vendors to start up their own successful businesses via the market," said Kolker. "Striving to be an effective advocate and ally for justice and equity is a lifelong commitment for me."
The PFM board of directors led the search for the executive director and evaluated more than 70 applicants in a rigorous process before selecting Kolker.
"We are delighted to welcome Katy to the PFM family," said Debbie Elliott, chair of the Portland Farmers Market board. "Katy's clear passion for food and farms, combined with her strong experience in nonprofit leadership, staff development and financial management, made her really stand out."
Kolker's first day on the job is during the market's busiest season of the year, as the four neighborhood markets prepare to open in Kenton, Lents, King and Shemanski Park, joining the year-round market in the PSU Park Blocks. Among her first tasks will be meeting the vendors and shoppers whom the organization serves.

Q: $3 \sin(\sqrt{x}) = x$ cant find non zero solution to this Hi i have been playing with this equation, complex form of the sine, polynomial expansion trying to find the non zero pole, and I am failing.
$$ 3\sin(\sqrt{x})=x$$

A: For transcendental equations like this one, you cannot expect analytical solutions (this is already the case for $x=\cos(x)$) and numerical methods are required.
Proably the simplest would be Newton method for finding the zero of
$$f(x)=3 \sin \left(\sqrt{x}\right)-x$$ $$f'(x)=\frac{3 \cos \left(\sqrt{x}\right)}{2 \sqrt{x}}-1$$ So, the iterates will be given by
$$x_{n+1}=x_n-\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}$$ Graphing, you can notice that the solution is close to $3$. So, let use use $x_0=3$ to get the following iterates
$$\left(
\begin{array}{cc}
 n & x_n \\
 0 & 3 \\
 1 & 2.965830999 \\
 2 & 2.965714903 \\
 3 & 2.965714902
\end{array}
\right)$$

A: $x = 2.96571490164526781847756898\ldots$

DC mother remembers generosity of Nancy Reagan during hospital visit of dying son
By Caitlin Roth, FOX 5 DC
WASHINGTON - During her husband's time in the White House, Nancy Reagan touched many lives here in the District. For one Washington D.C. mother, the former first lady left a special impression on her family after she came to visit her dying son in the hospital back in 1983.
Ornell Irae Gilliam was only 8 years old when he was struck by a car in a hit-and-run outside of his D.C. elementary school. He was critically injured and spent nearly two months in a coma at Children's National Medical Center.
When he woke up right before Christmas, he told his mother all he wanted was to see the "lady in the red suit."
Gilliam's mother told his medical team about this and they managed to get in contact with the White House.
Nancy Reagan came to visit the young boy at the hospital on Christmas Eve. She spent several hours chatting with the 8-year-old boy and even delivered a personal Christmas present.
Tragically, Gilliam died the next day on Christmas.
Gilliam's mother, Katie, is grateful to this day for Mrs. Reagan granting her son's final wish.
"To walk away from her busy schedule and come there to honor a request of a child that had been in a tragic accident, it was amazing," she said. "When I found out she had passed yesterday, it took a lot out of me."
A month after her son died, Reagan sent the Gilliams a personal letter acknowledging her time with the child while also expressing her heartfelt condolences.
Gilliam's mother said that letter is another example of Mrs. Reagan's wonderful generosity and kindness.

HomeBefore David Attenborough, there was Jacob Bronowski – promoting the public understanding of science
Before David Attenborough, there was Jacob Bronowski – promoting the public understanding of science
October 25, 2020 October 25, 2020 Rupen Savoulian Uncategorized
David Attenborough is arguably the world's best-known and appreciated science-nature documentary maker. His programmes are watched by millions around the world, and his pronouncements about science today carry enormous weight. Before him, though – and before Dawkins for that matter – there was a scientist small in stature but an intellectual giant who promoted the public engagement with science – Jacob Bronowski.
Born in Poland of Jewish heritage, Bronowski (1908-74) – Bruno to his schoolmates and teachers – migrated with his parents to England, where the young Jacob excelled academically. While earning a PhD in mathematics, Bronowski became an accomplished poet.
This is important, because he always stressed the artificiality of the arts-versus-sciences dichotomy. The arts – literature, poetry and so on – were said to be saturated with passion and emotion. The natural sciences were cold, objective and impersonal. Bronowski's life work is testimony to the fact that this distinction is not only flawed, but harmful to the full development of human understanding.
During World War 2, Bronowski developed mathematical strategies for RAF Bomber Command, working in the field of operations research. He was part of a British team that traveled to Hiroshima and Nagasaki to document the effects of the respective atomic bombings of those cities. After studying the effects of those attacks, Bronowski – and a number of his physicist friends – stopped working for the UK military.
It was this experience that compelled Bronowski to examine the ethics of science, and prompted him to address the question of humanist values. He wrote of his observations while in Nagasaki:
On a fine November day in 1945, late in the afternoon, I was landed on an airstrip in Southern Japan. From there a jeep was to take me over the mountains to join a ship which lay in Nagasaki Harbour. … suddenly I was aware that we were already at the centre of damage in Nagasaki. The shadows behind me were the skeletons of the Mitsubishi factory buildings, pushed backwards and sideways as if by a giant hand….I had blundered into this desolate landscape as instantly as one might wake among the craters of the moon.
He continued his work on poetry after the Second World War, carried out research on biological and anthropological questions – elaborating the characteristics of australopithecines. Turning his attention to the history of science, it is through his magisterial documentary series, The Ascent of Man, that he is best known to subsequent generations. (And yes, by 'man' he meant humankind, not just men).
What Bronowski achieved through his documentary was make science accessible to a wide audience, increase public engagement with scientific literacy, and highlight the importance of ethical values in informing scientific research. His documentary series was first broadcast in 1973; sadly, he died of a heart attack in 1974. He never witnessed the tremendous popular impact his work produced.
Since that time, there have been numerous science educators and writers; the American analogue to Bronowski is the late Carl Sagan, the astronomer and planetary scientist who wrote the popular science book and series Cosmos. Sagan also brought a humanistic perspective to the scientific endeavour. In 1995, Sagan wrote the book The Demon-Haunted World, defending skepticism and the scientific method against pseudoscience and superstition.
Bronowski addressed the issue of dogma, distinguishing it from scientific inquiry and research. Dogma reduces people to numbers and churns through them with cold detachment – you may listen to his words on the subject here. Bronowski raised this issue while visiting Auschwitz, where racist dogma and arrogance combined to produce unimaginable horrors.
To be sure, science has had its own problems with pseudoscientific and dubious theories regarding race and racism. The United States has a long and disturbing history of scientific perversions, leading to the implementation of policies constructing a racially stratified society. The abuse of science to rationalise economic inequalities and racially divisive structures has a resilient presence in American society.
We will look at these issues in the next article – stay tuned.
For the moment, let's remember the inspiring work and example of Jacob Bronowski.

two/eighteen, an upscale men's boutique in Royal Oak, hosted a toy drive during the holiday season to benefit Friendship Circle.
The toy drive titled, "A Time to Give" created a buzz as two/eighteen received toy contributions not only from clients but also Meijer in Northville and Toyology in West Bloomfield.
After receiving the truckload of toys, Friendship Circle decided to maximize the impact of the toys on as many kids as possible.
The Sav-On Drug Store in Weinberg Village is now fully stocked for the 3,500 students with special needs that pass through yearly. The Music Room received an upgrade with a brand new drum set, guitar and musical toys. The board games found a home with our [email protected] program, as they will be distributed among volunteers to bring to the homes of sixty children with special needs for an hour of play.
On Thursday, January 17th, each child in the Friendship Circle's Social Skills program received a toy from the four owners of two/eighteen. To ensure the children with special needs were learning a lesson alongside receiving the gifts, they were taught the proper way to accept and show gratitude by making thank you cards and learning proper verbal expressions of gratitude.
As an organization that hosts upwards of 100 children daily, six days a week, the "Time to Give" toy drive provided Friendship Circle with a much needed upgrade in the toy department! Thank you to two/eighteen staff Rick Williams, Roland Coit, Tawny Thieu and Fred Walker and Zac Chadwick .
