Shure Reinvents Itself
Posted by Bill Evans | Jan 22, 2016 | In Other News | 0 |
So far the amount of actual newsworthy stuff coming out of NAMM has been a trickle at best. It's amazing how much better a perception one can get on the annual gear fest when not in the middle of the noise and dog-and-pony-shows. Up until now the "advances" in dynamic microphone tech have been fairly pedestrian with the exception of the stuff Heil has been putting out for a long time now. But Shure stepped up to the plate in a big way last night. When we got an invite for a night-before-the-show preso from the biggest mic company in the world, we figured it would be a big deal. The last time they did anything like this was the release of the Axient system.
And they did not disappoint. We are looking to get our hands on one of these as soon as we can pull it off. It's great to see the company that defined the dynamic market and continues to dominate it with the SM58 and associated offshoots finally reinvent the 50-year old tech that dominates handheld vocal mics on stages across the known universe.
Shure Unveils KSM8 DualdyneTM Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
The World's First Dual-Diaphragm Dynamic Handheld Microphone and the
Most Significant Dynamic Microphone Technology Advancement the Industry has Seen in More Than 50 Years
NILES, Ill., Jan. 21, 2016—Today, at the 2016 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, Shure unveiled the KSM8 DualdyneTM Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone. A groundbreaking feat of engineering design, the KSM8 is the world's first dual-diaphragm dynamic handheld microphone for revolutionary vocal reproduction and accurate sound-reinforcement and control. The KSM8 extends the Company's wired microphone line—which includes numerous products of significance and enduring legacy—such as the Unidyne® 55 and the SM58® Microphone.
Designed for live sound performances where vocal clarity and sound quality are absolutely critical, the KSM8 not only meets the most discerning quality and reliability standards, it also has the versatility to adapt to changing environments without impacting performance. The KSM8 will revolutionize dynamic microphones in the live sound industry by providing sound engineers with a dynamic microphone that has virtually no proximity effect, a mastery of off-axis rejection and an output accuracy that requires none of the presence peaks or roll-offs that are typical of other dynamic microphones. Delivering unmatched vocal reproduction, the KSM8 design virtually eliminates the need for EQ and processing.
"The off-axis rejection is pretty amazing," said Michael Abbott, Broadcast Mixer with The Voice and Shark Tank. "Low frequency is very smooth and I definitely noticed nice proximity control, which our host Carson (Daly) definitely requires. High frequency response is noticeably more enhanced. It's an exceptionally well designed microphone by Shure."
Meticulously crafted for exceptional vocal reproduction and sound-reinforcement control for world-class live performance in professional venues, the KSM8 features the purest cardioid polar pattern that Shure has developed to-date, providing the most consistent on-axis performance regardless of the performer's microphone technique.
"Being part of the dynamic microphone resurgence has been extremely exciting for me, because our customers were always asking us what's next in dynamic microphones," said Scott Sullivan, Senior Director of Global Product Management at Shure. "When it comes to microphone technology and development, Shure has, what I consider to be, the "secret formula." In my opinion, no other company, through our exceptional engineering department, could have achieved what we did with the KSM8."
"In order to make the Dualdyne concept a reality, we had to reinvent the way we make dynamic microphones." added John Born, Shure Product Manager. "We knew the only way to bring the concept to life, was to set all pre-existing parts and template designs aside, and start from scratch. Since then, we've put over seven years of engineering and development into creating something we knew the industry needed, but had never seen. As a result, the introduction of the KSM8 brings an entirely new dynamic microphone element to the world."
The ability to virtually eliminate proximity effect and master off-axis rejection is powered by the patented Dualdyne cartridge of the KSM8, which features two ultra-thin diaphragms—one active and one passive—and a groundbreaking inverted airflow system. Additionally, its pneumatic shock mount offers exceptional rejection of handling noise without any loss of low frequency response.
As is the case with all Shure products, the world-class design and durability of the KSM8 is present in every aspect of the microphone. A dent- resistant, hardened carbon-steel grille design lined with hydrophobic woven fabric provides exceptional plosive and wind protection, while offering virtually waterproof protection. The aluminum handle—which is available in a brushed nickel or black finish—completes the KSM8's clean and sophisticated design aesthetic that is a seamless addition to any stage.
The KSM8 is also available as a handheld transmitter option for use with Axient®, UHF-R®, ULX-D®, and QLX-D® wireless systems, and as a wireless capsule for use with other Shure wireless systems. Additionally, new KSM8 transmitters are now offered in a brushed nickel finish on ULX-D and UHF-R wireless systems.
The retail price for the KSM8 starts at $499. For additional details on the KSM8, please stop by the Shure booth (Hall A, booth #6541) at the 2016 Winter NAMM Show or visit www.shure.com/ksm8.

The Business of Dying is the first novel written by Simon Kernick. In it, Kernick introduces the character Dennis Milne, who becomes the lead character in several subsequent novels. The story is a crime thriller that follows Milne, a full-time police officer and part-time hitman whose targets turn out to be customs officers and an accountant. The novel was published in the United Kingdom in 2002 by Bantam and in the United States in 2003 by St. Martin's Minotaur.

A book reviewer for The Daily Telegraph wrote that the novel is an "auspicious debut which leaves me looking forward eagerly to Mr Kernick's next book." The reviewer in Booklist wrote "Kernick's debut is compelling, dark, and suspenseful" and that "while there are a few places where his unusual plot fails to convince, Kernick clearly has a promising future". The reviewer in Publishers Weekly wrote, "Kernick does a masterful job of making Milne sympathetic, despite his callous brutalities, by combining a captivating first-person narrative with emotionally complex characterization. The portrayal of the harsh realism of the mean city streets is complemented by the revelations of the secret lives of the supporting characters with their masks of public respectability. Powerful prose, tight plotting and a clever fair-play puzzle add up to a remarkable first effort." The reviewer for the Library Journal wrote: "Told with clarity and wit, this is an unusual but effective approach to the British police procedural from a new voice. Strongly recommended." The review in Kirkus Reviews said, "Nicely plotted and briskly paced, with a voice not unlike James M. Cain's in Double Indemnity."

Plot
It is 9:01 pm on a cold November night. Dennis Milne and his friend Danny are waiting at the Traveler's Rest Hotel car park to kill three unarmed men they think are drug dealers. A black Jeep Cherokee drives into the car park and comes to a halt. Milne goes up to the driver's side and shoots two of the men dead. The third tries to get out of the car and run, but does not make it. Milne is seen by a girl at the back door of the hotel, but he just walks away. They drive away and when they are away from the scene they set the car on fire and go their separate ways.

Milne is stopped at a roadblock by the police. He has to show his ID and it turns out he is a police officer. At home he acts normal and starts a new case on a murder of a prostitute. Through the news, he finds out that he killed two customs officers and an accountant. Raymond Keen, who hired Milne to do the kill, he says they did something terrible and had to die for it, but does not say what it was. It gets worse when the police working on the hotel killing show an e-fit of Milne. Danny calls him to say he was being followed but Milne does not think anything of it and says he should go on a holiday.

While trying to question a woman on the prostitute case, thinking that it might be involved in what is going on, she runs away. He chases her but she gets away and he is left by himself. Two people with hoodies walk up the street towards him. They have guns and try to kill him. After a chase, he kills one and hurts the other. He finds out who killed the hooker and wraps him up in a chair and tortures him to talk before setting him on fire. He goes to Keen's house and kills his guards after almost being killed by them and shoots Keen and makes him talk.

At the end of the book he is flying off to the Philippines with a fake passport and a different appearance.

The contest wasthe first game of the 2008 NBA Summer League played inside the Thomas & Mack Center on the campus of UNLV.
Supporting Greene in the win was Michael Harris' double-double of 21 points and 13 rebounds and Maarty Leunen's16 points.
"I didn't know that it was a record – I was just here to get a W," said Greene on nearly breaking the Summer League scoring record. "Once I got to 36, Phoenix started keying in on me a lot more, so I started to look for my teammates to get them going. I got Aaron (Brooks) going, and Maarty (Leunen), and Mike Harris and we got the win."
The team effort of the Suns set the pace in the opening stanza as they got their lead up to as high as 12. Greene kept his squad close, scoring an impressive 19 of his team's 25 points in the first 10 minutes.
Hot shooting from both teams highlighted the first half as Phoenix shot 53.8 percent, 71.4 percent from behind the arc, and extended their lead to 13, while Houston shot 52.6 percent from the field.
The Rockets were the squad that came out of the break with all the momentum as they cut their deficit from 13 to five, including an and-one floater with 0.2 seconds left in the quarter by Brooks.
Houston played tough as they cut the lead to one with 2 minutes to go on a Greene alley-oop from Russell Robinson. The game stayed tight in the final minutes when Houston took their first lead of the game, 98-97 on a reverse lay-up by Leunen from a great pass by Greene. The Suns' D.J. Strawberry attempted a three-pointer as time expired, but it was just off the mark.
Phoenix was led by their backcourt tandem of Alando Tucker and Strawberry, who both finished with 22 points, while big man Robin Lopez chipped in with 19 points of his own.
Notes: Phoenix squares off against San Antonio in Thursday's first game in the Thomas & Mack Center and Houston meets Cleveland in the final game on Wednesday night against Cleveland also in Thomas & Mack Center.

Resounding success of tenor Gregory Kunde as Peter Grimes at the Palau de les Arts de Valencia
Between February 1st and 13th Gregory Kunde performed at Les Arts de Valencia, singing the title role in Peter Grimes, Benjamin Britten's opera in three acts. His work has profoundly touched both audiences and critics, and has even been described as a "landmark performance". In the media the following words of praise can be read:
– "The absolute protagonist of the production presented on Thursday at the Palau de les Arts was the American tenor Gregory Kunde, who was making his debut in the complex, demanding role of the coarse fisherman Peter Grimes. It is a role that requires, in equal parts, a top-flight singer able to handle the tremendous vocal demands and a sharp actor, with the dramatic talent necessary to make the ambiguous main character's unusual personality, and frequent mood swings, believable. With this triumphant debut, Kunde adds his name to the select list of tenors who have sung the role successfully… Kunde has dug deep into the character and given him absolute credibility. He made him his own! Both vocally and on the stage. It is hard to imagine a more intense, convincing or authentic performance. The thousand edges of Peter Grimes –kin to Wagner's ill-fated Flying Dutchman– were revealed by the long-living American tenor, at the age of 63! In an interpretation that will go down in history as one of the most believable and authentic Peter Grimes ever. The difficult melodicism –which at times verges on atonality–, its taut tessitura, the precise volume to avoid being overwhelmed by the fantastic orchestration, the mezza voce segments that co-exist with the brusqueness sometimes required by the score, became defining elements instead of obstacles to overcome." Justo Romero (Levante)
– "Tenor Gregory Kunde comes to this role at a time of splendid maturity and at 63 years of age he continues to break records and incorporate roles that until recently, nobody thought he could handle, even though most of the tenors of his generation have already retired or are well on their way to retirement. In the case of Peter Grimes, it is a role that he had sung once in concert but never in a staged version. He never ceases to amaze, as the extraordinary quality of his interpretation is far beyond that of other performers in this role in recent decades and can only be compared with that of mythical singers such as Peter Pears and Jon Vickers; if it were put on a CD or DVD Kunde's performance would become a landmark. The timbre of his voice is ideal for the role, lyrical and heroic at the same time; his command of all vocal resources offers the entire range of colours, dynamics and nuances needed to successfully present a psychological portrait of the character through its voice. There was no shortage of pianos or of mezza voce, but there were also moments of intense dramatism thanks to his ease of projection and innate musicality." César Rus (Las Provincias)
– "Of all of his impressive vocal achievements over the last decade, it may very well be that Peter Grimes is the role in which Gregory Kunde's talents have gone the furthest. And this is because beyond the vocal marvels that he has demonstrated sublimely in other repertoires –he just sang Meyerbeer's Le Prophéte and Donizetti's Poliuto, before being Radames in Aida-, here Kunde shows that he is a consummate artist, able to go all the way, with an exceptional dramatic recreation of the unsettling protagonist of this opera by Britten. The first contact Gregory Kunde had with this opera was in Rome, at the end of 2013. Antonio Pappano was conducting the opera in its concert version, with the orchestra and chorus of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. Even then Kunde gave the impression that he had been born to sing this role. And the recent performances in Valencia have done nothing but confirm this, with his role/debut in a staged performance. Taking the same path as Jon Vickers –another great Otello, by the way–, Kunde's Grimes is a poor wretch, desperate and tragic. Kunde should take this role to many more stages. It has been a very long time since this opera found such a perfect protagonist." Alejandro Martínez (Platea Magazine)
– "Gregory Kunde, the American tenor who is also a cancer survivor, offered a landmark performance of the title role of the opera Peter Grimes, in which he put all his vocal power into presenting a combative fisherman who must confront the suspicions and murmurings of his fellow villagers…. In a highly demanding role, Kunde has masterfully fashioned a character, the fisherman Peter Grimes, who is suspected of abusing his young apprentices, whom he treats contemptuously and tyrannically in his obsession with escaping his precarious living situation, in a village with neighbours who think nothing of judging others based on rumours and conjecture." Juan Castelló (La Vanguardia)
– "The opera is a fierce lament about double standards and society's dictatorship over the individual, heard on this occasion in the voice of the American tenor Gregory Kunde, who offers in his debut in the role an intense, moving interpretation…. Kunde was much applauded by the audience, which did not fill up the theatre, for his rendition of the tormented sailor, stigmatized, persecuted and made suicidal because of his alleged mistreatment of his apprentices." (Europa Press)
– "Gregory Kunde is a vocal miracle, almost comparable to Plácido Domingo. How is it that a tenor specialised in bel canto can become a modelic Peter Grimes? And how is it that he can continue to sing Rossini's Otello? All of this, moreover, after fighting cancer. Jon Vickers was a landmark Grimes and Kunde, with a much more lyrical timbre, does not lag behind him, despite this being Kunde's first time in the role. In his favour he has subtleties, and a way of singing mezza voce, that belong to his other repertoire. What a fantastic artist!" Gonzalo Alonso (La Razón)
– "The protagonist who gives title to the opera was played by Gregory Kunde, who I think was making his stage debut in this character, which he had only sung in concert, in Rome in October 2013. His performance was fully convincing, in terms both of singing and acting. Today, his voice is very well suited to the part." José M. Irurzun (Seenandheard)
– "The very versatile Gregory Kunde instils in the main character a sorrowful humanity, succeeding in making the cutthroat monster awaken the pity deserved by a poor wretch, whose diagnosis will remain unknown." Alvaro del Amo (El Mundo)
– "Peter Grimes, by Benjamin Britten, makes its premiere at Les Arts, with an enthusiastic performance by the American tenor Gregory Kunde…. Gregory Kunde puts his wide range of resources to the service of the character. It is worth noting that this tenor's versatility is such that it enabled him to successfully perform Verdi's Otello and also Rossini's Otello within a short span of time. He now delves into a score in which Sprechgesang (à l'anglaise) poses tough and different demands…without releasing him from the previous ones. Because Britten also asks him to sing, at times, quietly or in mezza voce, like the bel canto tenor he is, while other times he has to light a candle for Verdi, in hopes that he will accompany him on the journey. Luckily, this American singer, who is 63, sings everything, and not just any old way. His voice, whether delicate or powerful, always adapts to the score and the situation it represents. When he has to do "spoken singing" (Sprechgesang), as is the case in some passages of Peter Grimes, he can also do that, although his Anglo-American version has its particularities." Rosa Solà (Culturplaza)
– "The return of this production, with the special draw of it being the stage debut of Gregory Kunde in the role of the marginalized sailor driven insane by the intolerant treatment he receives from his surroundings, could not be more timely … Kunde gives his character dramatic depth and a wide array of nuances, especially in the upper register." César López Rosell (El periódico)
– "Loneliness, abandonment, contempt are evident in this Grimes offered by Gregory Kunde in his presentation in Valencia, contributing maturity and a certain decline with which he ably portrays the character." Alberto González LaPuente (ABC)
– "Gregory Kunde brought a lifetime of experience to the role. His was a bel canto Grimes – not so much in terms of sound but in terms of technique. In his 'Now the Great Bear and Pleiades' aria, he shaded the tone masterfully, making every repetition of the note sound like a constantly evolving rainbow of vocal colour. He made some intelligent use of voix mixte as he reflected on his life, and brought out the beauty of Grimes' melismatic writing throughout. Not only did he sing the role but he brought out the sheer pain felt by Grimes, his complicated, multifaceted nature, not only through the voice but also through his physicality. This run, of which tonight was the fourth show of five, is Kunde's debut in the role and it's a role that suits him very well… Kunde's Grimes was complex, conflicted and, as he faced death, absolutely devastating – a victim of circumstance who was misunderstood." (Operatraveller)
– "Gregory Kunde is a marvel; there is no other word that defines him better… This stage debut as Peter that Kunde has given to the city of the river Turia is yet another diamond in a crown of jewels that this singer has fashioned with time and wisdom.We could enumerate the different passages of solos and duets with Leah Partridge that appear throughout the work… but we think the best thing to do is simply tell you not to miss it." Robert Benito (Operaworld)
– "And then, Gregory Kunde, who year after year dares to take on roles that are increasingly risky and who continues to move forward on a path paved with successes. Here is yet another one, and in his mother tongue. This time the American tenor embodies a Grimes who is introverted or violent by clumsiness. The youthfulness of his timbre, the ease with which he moves throughout the tessitura, the moments he sings mezza voce, yes, but also the insolent strength and projection which give the character all of its wrath, its pain and its ambiguity. A clumsy man full of hope or an evil beast, Gregory Kunde leaves it to each of us to decide." Yannick Boussaert (ForumOpera)

Inside the palace: Al Arabiya's documentary on Qatari royal's criminal lawsuits
Leen Alfaisal, Al Arabiya English
Published: 26 June ,2020: 09:39 PM GST Updated: 27 June ,2020: 08:19 AM GST
After a lawsuit was filed by six American plaintiffs against Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad, brother of the Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, on June 21, Al Arabiya interviewed two of the plaintiffs who claim the royal imprisoned them and ordered them to kill for him, among other accusations.
In a documentary titled "Inside the Palace," Al Arabiya gets the full details on the allegations made by two Americans, Mathew Pittard and Mathew Allende who were working for the Qatari royal.
Initially filed by the two plaintiffs last July 23 in a US federal court in Florida, the same lawsuit against Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad al-Thani also alleges he attempted to enlist an American security staffer to murder two people and ordered him to hold another American captive.
For all the latest headlines follow our Google News channel online or via the app
"I'm going to kill you, bury you in the desert, and kill your family," is what Pittard, who worked as a security guard for the Sheikh, was told when he tried to help another US citizen escape "abuse" in the Qatari palace, according to the documentary.
The other plaintiff, paramedic Allende, said that after rarely ever taking a vacation, the Sheikh allowed him to leave the compound, only to be stopped by the security guards at the gate and told that he cannot leave.

"I decided to leave on my own so I ran off," Allende told Al Arabiya. "I hurled over the 5.5 foot fence…and jumped off, but I was unsuccessful and shattered my right foot."
The Sheikh asked to see Allende after the incident and told him: "what's up Spiderman? You're trying to climb the wall?"
Sheikh Khalid is being accused of ordering his staff to murder US citizens on American soil, of sexual assault on a male prostitute, and of killing his wife's driver in Doha, according to the lawsuit.
Killing a driver
Terry Hope, one of the plaintiffs who worked for Sheikh Khalid's Al Anabi Racing team, made several accusations including the Qatari's request he commit murder on his behalf.
Hope said he witnessed Sheikh Khalid beat his wife's driver to death with the assistance of the Emiri Guard in an al-Thani royal family desert camp compound outside of Doha.

"This is what happens when you cross me. This is my world … Everyone has their breaking point. I'll find yours … If you ever want to get into my inner circle, you will have to show your loyalty," Hope accused Sheikh Khalid of saying.
Hope also alleged that he was forced to watch Sheikh Khalid, Jason Sharpe who is one of the Qatari Sheikh's employees, and another friend Sheikh Khalid's "commit an act of sodomy against a male prostitute with a billiard stick."

Did the First World War Lead to the Second World War?
In some ways, the Second World War was even more terrible than the First World War: It introduced the world to heavy bombing, mass murder, genocide and the atomic bomb. Most of the leaders in the Second World War had served in the First World War. So what exactly was the relationship between the two world wars? The answer to this question is quite subtle, but important. The roots of the Second World War certainly lay in the First World War, but the First World War did not cause the Second World War.
The destruction and losses of the First World shocked everyone; what left many people angry and bitter for long afterwards, however, was the peace settlement at the end of the war. The Germans were aghast at the way the Treaty of Versailles blamed them for the war, cut down their army and navy, carved off huge areas of their territory and made them pay reparations payments to the French and Belgians for the foreseeable future.
To make matters worse, the Germans simply didn't believe that they'd lost the war fairly. They believed that Germany had been 'stabbed in the back' by communists and Jews at home, who'd overturned the government and betrayed Germany's soldiers (this idea was complete tosh, by the way, but many Germans found it comforting).
The Hungarians were equally furious about the way the Treaty of Trianon had taken so much land off them. And the Italians, despite being on the winning side, didn't think they'd won anything like enough land from the peace settlement. This all meant that various countries had good reason to hate the peace settlement and to want to change it. It doesn't, however, mean that these changes had to be brought about by war.
In the 1920s, the German Foreign Minister, Gustav Stresemann, set to work getting the Treaty of Versailles changed into something much more acceptable to the Germans. He made huge progress: he got Germany accepted into the League of Nations, he negotiated a much more reasonable way of paying War Reparations and he even started work on getting Germany's borders extended. He died in 1929, so who knows whether he'd have succeeded. But if he had the Germans might well have decided they had no need to vote for Hitler and the Nazis. Just think how different history would have been!
What really led to the Second World War wasn't the peace settlement of 1919 but the worldwide economic slump of the 1930s. When times are really desperate, as they were at that time, people turn to extremist parties such as Fascists or Nazis. Once Hitler had come to power in Germany in 1933 he got people to support him by attacking the Treaty of Versailles and promising to tear it up. The British and French went along with this to start with, but finally, when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939 (he said it was to regain land taken from Germany after the First World War) they reluctantly decided to go to war again. The First World War hadn't caused the Second World War – but it certainly led to it.

Home Features Notes On Early Nominations for Australia's 2022 Spring Racing
Statue of Makybe Diva outside Flemington Racecourse. Photo via https://twitter.com/Girl_GoesRacing/status/1270828269479190528/photo/1
A bit of a stir was caused on Tuesday 2nd August as the 'blueprint' was released for the upcoming spring racing season in Australia. The first round of nominations saw 186 names shortlisted for the 2022 Melbourne Cup, 169 for the Caulfield Cup, and a further 135 for the W.S Cox Plate. The announcement signifies the start of the spring campaign, which tends to build in momentum across September and October before climaxing in November.
While there were may interesting names on the lists, which will, of course, be whittled down in the coming months, we should probably start with those that won't be there. 2021 Melbourne Cup winner Verry Elleegant is absent, as the mare is set to have a crack at some European silverware, notably the Arc, in the coming months. But while Verry Elleegant's omission was expected, there was mild shock at the absence of both New London and Kyrpios. The latter, in particular, was prominent in the markets with betting brands like Bet365 Australia.
O'Briens are aiming for more glory in Australia
Within the 186 runners nominated for the Melbourne Cup, 43 are international. That's up from just 15 at the same point last year. Joseph O'Brien (10), who won 'the race that stops a nation' in 2017 (Rekindling) and 2020 (Twilight Payment) brings almost a quarter of the international contingent, whereas his father, Aidan, brings six.
It's very early days, but the betting markets have clumped about six horses together at the top of the odds, mostly consisting of home team fancies: Duais, Loft, Spanish Mission, Hoo Ya Mal, Deauville Legend and Grand Alliance have the most exposure with bookmakers, although several of the O'Briens' horses are well placed in the markets. Changingoftheguard, who looked a decent prospect when winning the King Edward VII Stakes for Aidan O'Brien at Royal Ascot in June.
Nominations for the Caulfield Cup tend to be very similar to the Melbourne Cup, as many owners will attempt to do the double, or at least keep their options open. The vast majority of AUS/NZ entrants are the same, so you'll find the shortfall usually comes from having fewer international runners.
There are 32 international runners listed for the 2022 Caulfield Cup, 11 fewer than the 43 for the Melbourne Cup. As you might expect, there is some symmetry with the betting markets between the two races, with the likes of Duais heading the markets with some bookmakers. But others, like Montefilia and Nonconformist, are given more of a chance than they have in the Melbourne Cup.
Cox Plate could serve up a fascinating battle
Perhaps the most interesting is the entries for the Cox Plate (22nd October), which serves as the middle event between the Caulfield Cup (15th October) and Melbourne Cup (1st November). While it has fewer entrants than the other events, it does have a clearer sense of identity. The formidable Zaaki and last year's winner, State of Rest, head the betting, and there's also room for Anamoe at the top of the markets, who was narrowly beaten by State of Rest in 2021.
The above is just a small taste of what's coming up in the weeks and months ahead. There will be several culls – 6th September for weights, two October dates for nominations – along the way to get the fields down to manageable sizes. But the 2nd August nominations get the ball rolling for the Australian spring season, and the action will start heating up accordingly.

And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
To fulfill all righteousness - That is, Every righteous ordinance: so I think the words πασαν δικαιοσυνην should be translated; and so our common version renders a similar word, Luke 1:6. The following passage, quoted from Justin Martyr, will doubtless appear a strong vindication of this translation. "Christ was circumcised, and observed all the other ordinances of the law of Moses, not with a view to his own justification; but to fulfill the dispensation committed to him by the Lord, the God and Creator of all things." - Wakefield.
How remarkable are the following words of Creeshna (an Incarnation of the Supreme God, according to the Hindoo theology) related in the Bhagvat Geeta, p. 47. Addressing his disciple Arjoon, he says, "I myself, Arjoon, have not, in the three regions of the universe, any thing which is necessary for me to perform; nor any thing to obtain, which is not obtained; and yet I live in the exercise of the moral duties. If I were not vigilantly to attend to those duties, all men would presently follow my example. If I were not to perform the moral actions, this world would fail in their duties: I should be the cause of spurious births, and should drive the people from the right way. As the ignorant perform the duties of life from a hope of reward, so the wise man, out of respect to the opinions and prejudices of mankind, should perform the same without motives of interest. The wise man, by industriously performing all the duties of life, should induce the vulgar to attend to them."
The Septuagint use this word often for the Hebrew משפת mishpat, judgment, appointment. And in Ezekiel 18:19, Ezekiel 18:21, the person who δικαιοσυνην και ελεος πεποιηκε - hath done righteousness and mercy, is he who sacredly attended to the performance of all the religious ordinances mentioned in that chapter, and performed them in the genuine spirit of mercy. Δικαιωματα is used 1 Maccabees 1:13, 49; 2:21, and in Hebrews 10:1, Hebrews 10:10, to denote religious ceremonies. Michaelis supposes that חק כל kol chok, all religious statutes or ordinances, were the words used in the Hebrew original of this Gospel.
But was this an ordinance? Undoubtedly: it was the initiatory ordinance of the Baptist's dispensation. Now, as Christ had submitted to circumcision, which was the initiatory ordinance of the Mosaic dispensation, it was necessary that he should submit to this, which was instituted by no less an authority, and was the introduction to his own dispensation of eternal mercy and truth. But it was necessary on another account: Our Lord represented the high priest, and was to be the high priest over the house of God: - now, as the high priest was initiated into his office by washing and anointing, so must Christ: and hence he was baptized, washed, and anointed by the Holy Ghost. Thus he fulfilled the righteous ordinance of his initiation into the office of high priest, and thus was prepared to make an atonement for the sins of mankind.
Then he suffered him - In the Opus Imperfectum, quoted by Griesbach, there is the following addition, which, at least, may serve to show the opinion of its author: Et Johannes quidem baptizauit ilium in aqua, ille autem Johannem cum Spiritu. "Then John baptized him with water, and he baptized John with the Spirit."
Thus it becometh us - It is suitable and proper. And though you may feel yourself unworthy, yet it is proper it should be done.
All righteousness - There was no particular precept in the Old Testament requiring this, but he chose to give the sanction of his example to the baptism of John, as to a divine ordinance. The phrase "all righteousness," here, is the same as a righteous institution or appointment. Jesus had no sin. But he was about to enter on his great work. It was proper that he should be set apart by his forerunner, and show his connection with him, and give his approbation to what John had done. He submitted to the ordinance of baptism, also, in order that occasion might be taken, at the commencement of his work, for God publicly to declare his approbation of him, and his solemn appointment to the office of the Messiah.
Christ's gracious condescensions are so surprising, that even the strongest believers at first can hardly believe them; so deep and mysterious, that even those who know his mind well, are apt to start objections against the will of Christ. And those who have much of the Spirit of God while here, see that they need to apply to Christ for more. Christ does not deny that John had need to be baptized of him, yet declares he will now be baptized of John. Christ is now in a state of humiliation. Our Lord Jesus looked upon it as well becoming him to fulfil all righteousness, to own every Divine institution, and to show his readiness to comply with all God's righteous precepts. In and through Christ, the heavens are opened to the children of men. This descent of the Spirit upon Christ, showed that he was endued with his sacred influences without measure. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. At Christ's baptism there was a manifestation of the three Persons in the sacred Trinity. The Father confirming the Son to be Mediator; the Son solemnly entering upon the work; the Holy Spirit descending on him, to be through his mediation communicated to his people. In Him our spiritual sacrifices are acceptable, for He is the altar that sanctifies every gift, 1Pe 2:5. Out of Christ, God is a consuming fire, but in Christ, a reconciled Father. This is the sum of the gospel, which we must by faith cheerfully embrace.
15. Suffer. That is, "let," "permit." He was not to deny Jesus' request for baptism, however inappropriate that request might at the moment seem to him.
It becometh. That is, "it is fitting," "it is proper." It was not fitting or proper to baptize Jesus in acknowledgment of personal sins, for He had no sins of which to repent. But as our example it was both fitting and proper for Him to accept baptism (see DA 111).
Fulfil all righteousness. At His baptism Jesus laid aside His private life; He was no longer simply a perfect man among men—He was henceforth to engage in His active, public ministry as their Saviour. Christ's submission to baptism by John was the seal that confirmed John's ministry and placed Heaven's stamp of approval upon it.
He suffered him. That is, John agreed to comply with the request.
Selected Messages Book 1, 211
Christ and the Law
[This article appeared in The Review and Herald, April 5, 1898.]
Lift Him Up, 79
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:21. LHU 79.1
In the submission of Christ to the ordinance of baptism, He shows the sinner one of the important steps in true conversion. Christ had no sins to wash away, but in consenting to become a substitute for man, the sins of guilty man were imputed to Him.... While God accepts Christ as the sinner's substitute, He gives the sinner a chance, with Christ's divine power to help him, to stand the test which Adam failed to endure. LHU 79.2
Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 49
His mission was to "magnify the law, and make it honorable." Isaiah 42:21. He was to show the spiritual nature of the law, to present its far-reaching principles, and to make plain its eternal obligation. MB 49.1
The divine beauty of the character of Christ, of whom the noblest and most gentle among men are but a faint reflection; of whom Solomon by the Spirit of inspiration wrote, He is "the chiefest among ten thousand, ... yea, He is altogether lovely" (Song of Solomon 5:10-16); of whom David, seeing Him in prophetic vision, said, "Thou art fairer than the children of men" (Psalm 45:2); Jesus, the express image of the Father's person, the effulgence of His glory; the self-denying Redeemer, throughout His pilgrimage of love on earth, was a living representation of the character of the law of God. In His life it is made manifest that heaven-born love, Christlike principles, underlie the laws of eternal rectitude. MB 49.2
"Till heaven and earth pass," said Jesus, "one jot or one tittle shall in nowise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." By His own obedience to the law, Christ testified to its immutable character and proved that through His grace it could be perfectly obeyed by every son and daughter of Adam. On the mount He declared that not the smallest iota should pass from the law till all things should be accomplished—all things that concern the human race, all that relates to the plan of redemption. He does not teach that the law is ever to be abrogated, but He fixes the eye upon the utmost verge of man's horizon and assures us that until this point is reached the law will retain its authority so that none may suppose it was His mission to abolish the precepts of the law. So long as heaven and earth continue, the holy principles of God's law will remain. His righteousness, "like the great mountains" (Psalm 36:6), will continue, a source of blessing, sending forth streams to refresh the earth. MB 49.3
Early Writings, 153-4
I was carried down to the time when Jesus was to take upon Himself man's nature, humble Himself as a man, and suffer the temptations of Satan. EW 153.1
His birth was without worldly grandeur. He was born in a stable and cradled in a manger; yet His birth was honored far above that of any of the sons of men. Angels from heaven informed the shepherds of the advent of Jesus, and light and glory from God accompanied their testimony. The heavenly host touched their harps and glorified God. They triumphantly heralded the advent of the Son of God to a fallen world to accomplish the work of redemption, and by His death to bring peace, happiness, and everlasting life to man. God honored the advent of His Son. Angels worshiped Him. EW 153.2
The Birth, Childhood, and Baptism of Jesus


Cardiologists at Apollo Hospitals, Hyderaguda (Hyderabad), have performed a pioneering procedure on a middle aged male patient suffering from a 'Chronic Total Occlusion' (CTO), using a cross boss and stingray device , for the first time in the country.
Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) is a hardened 100 per cent block in coronary artery,formed over a duration of months or years. CTO causes cardiac pain on exertion. Usually bypass surgery is needed to clear the block, cardiologist HOD, V. Surya Prakasa Rao, and Cathlab Services Director Dr. P.L.N. Kapardhi, said in a joint press conference here today.
The patient has been complaining of chest discomfort on walking for the last few months and after an ECG on him , established he suffering from a heart attack, the cardiologist said.
A coronary Angiogram on him indicated 100 per cent blockage of a major blood vessel supplying blood from heart, with hard fibrotic calcific plaque.
Looking at the complexity of the blockage, the patient would have in the normal course been advised a Bypass Surgery, he said.
He (Patient) consulted Apollo Hospitals for an opinion. We found him an appropriate case for CTO-PCI Technique, offered to clear the block and put a Drug Eluting Stent without Surgery, Dr Rao said.
Using the CROSS BOSS and stingray device the CTO was successfully cleared under local anesthesia the cardiologist said, adding, the CROSS BOSS and stingray device invented by American Cardiologists is designed to penetrate and drill hard or calcified occlusions.
This technique creates channel in hard block in a expeditious manner and enables deploying of balloon, drug eluting stent in the distal true lumen with precision.
The entire procedure takes one-and-a- half to two hours and patient can be discharged after 48 hours. The procedure doesn't involve any suturing, the expert added.

It's been Sleep Awareness Week (March 6th through March 13th) & sometimes we need a little aide to help us get a good night sleep. I'm someone who knows a lot about various sleep aides from medicinal to natural. I was sent the Champneys Heavenly Days Sleep Pillow Mist to try out and what a better week than Sleep Awareness Week. Like most people I have bad, not bad and great night sleeps, I can be a somewhat light sleeper but once I'm disturbed in sleep, it leads to headaches and an all around grump. I do try my best to unwind and settle down before bed, with relaxing baths and limit technology so I'm not overthinking anything. These tend to help. I've tried pillow mists in the past and they've always worked good for me surprisingly.
Mentioned previously I've used other Pillow Mists and it's going to be hard to not compare but they've similar oils that are proven to be good relaxant and sleep inducing oils. This contains, Pelargonium graveolens flower oil commonly known as rose geranium, Lavender, Matricaria Recutita flower oil commonly known as chamomile / camomile. All very relaxing scents and commonly used in sleeping aides.
My problem was, I didn't realise how strong it was until I used it...I mean really used it, I sprayed about 3x on my pillows and was overwhelmed - you don't need more than one spritz from personal experience - meaning it'll also last you because the second night I could still smell it on my pillow (it could've been because my over using of the product) Upon first spritz it's very strong and I would put that down to the alcohol denat it gives the oils something to hold onto for a more intense smell and longevity.
Tip:- Spray your bed sheets & leave to settle before getting into bed, which I think would be better as when you move in the night, the scent will keep activating allowing a nice sleep.
I've found if I turn down my bed and spray this and have a bath or shower by the time I'm ready for bed, the sprays had time to settle onto the material and I get a good night's sleep. The smell is relaxing, I can smell the rose & lavender it's a nice combination and very present. I've used this for a few nights this week and it certainly smells nice to inhale as I lay face planted first on my pillow, it seems to help induce sleep. I still had disturbed sleeps but that's mostly because I've got inconsiderate neighbours but it was a lot easier to drift back off to sleep.
Ingredients: Alcohol denat., Aqua (Water), Parfum (Fragrance), Dipropylene glycol, Linalool, Citronellol, Geraniol, Pelargonium graveolens flower oil, Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) flower extract, Alpha-isomethyl ionone, Limonene, Chamomilla recutita (Matricaria) flower oil, Eugenol.
Do you have any tips for a good night's sleep?


Losing Holly is the hardest thing Jane has ever had to endure … until Holly comes back.
Best friends Jane and Holly have jumped off the bluff over their Alabama reservoir hundreds of times. But one day, Holly's jump goes wrong. Her body never comes up, yet something else does—a sad creature of mud, full of confusion and sorrow. It's Holly, somehow, trapped and mixed up with the river. And if Jane can't do something to help, Holly will take everybody down with her—even the people they love the most.

The Nutrition Challenge (Project-Syndicate)
Additional investments in early childhood nutrition are crucial, and should be a high priority for donor and recipient governments, multilateral development organizations, and philanthropic foundations. The case for such spending is clear, and the payoffs will almost certainly be enormous.
https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/child-nutrition-increased-global-investment-by-bjorn-lomborg-2019-07
Bjørn Lomborg, a visiting professor at the Copenhagen Business School, is Director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center. His books include The Skeptical Environmentalist, Cool It, How to Spend $75 Billion to Make the World a Better Place, The Nobel Laureates' Guide to the Smartest Targets for the World, and, most recently, Prioritizing Development. In 2004, he was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people for his research on the smartest ways to help the world.

I'm wondering why there isn't a possibility to add a ped using the editor, the EDF files have the possibility for that but they can't be added manually.
I can remember that in the first preview video of the new Map Editor there were the possiblity to add peds?
I'm suprised that editor supports peds yet doesn't allow you to create them, or was there a reason for not including it in editor_main?
When you create a ped it doesn't go to model selection, you have to click on the ped and do browse.
Unless there are other problems, I'd be willing to fix the above imperfections and add peds to editor_main.

BARTHOLOMEW: A SCOTTISH FAMILY HERITAGE

Username and Password required
The Sarolea Family
John "Ian" Bartholomew [1] [2]
Ian Bartholomew at his desk
John George's eldest son, John [known as Ian] Bartholomew (1890–1962), was born at 12 Blacket Place, Edinburgh, on 12 February 1890.
Ian went to Merchiston Castle School, Edinburgh and later, following the family tradition of a career in cartography, undertook special studies in the universities of Leipzig and Paris before embarking on an Arts course back in Edinburgh University, under George G. Chisholm, in the elevation of whose Lectureship into a Chair of Geography he was later to play so large a part. Among his cognate studies, he took geology under Professor James Geikie, and some of his contemporaries still cherish a memory of a class excursion saved from scattering, in a dense fog on the Bathgate Hills one Saturday morning, by young Bartholomew suddenly producing a penny tin whistle—whippin' them in to a merry tune.
Ian takes a break in the trenches near Ypres, 1915
The First World War provided grimmer tests of leadership. In 1914 joined the army as a territorial sergeant and by the end of the same year was commissioned into the 1st Battalion, Gordon Highlanders and served in France and Flanders. He was ever mindful of his men, who loved him, and his particular mixture of kindly, though slightly wry philosophy and Scottish piety gained him a place both as leader and confidante. He was mentioned three times in dispatches and was awarded the Military Cross in 1915. His younger brother Hugh was killed in the war. Later he served on Haig's staff at St. Omer and Montreuil as a staff-captain of Intelligence.
At the termination of hostilities he returned to Edinburgh, was given his M.A. degree and re-entered the family business with his father John George.
Family photo (left to right): Ailie, Robbie, Ian, Peter (front), Minou, Alick and John
On 22 May 1920 he married Marie "Minou" Antoinette (1898–1972), the third daughter of Dr Georges "Léon"[3] Hyacinthe Sarolea (1864–1928), a physician of Hasselt, Belgium, and his wife, Marie Félicité Goetsbloets (1871–1898). They had four sons and two daughters, one of whom died young.
Also in 1920 he succeeded to the management of the family business. Ian continued many of his father's cartographic ventures, notably the association with The Times, and began new ones, such as the production of road maps to satisfy the demand of an expanding motoring market.
He saw the family firm go from strength to strength and was himself appointed Cartographer to King George V in 1921. The Times Survey Atlas commenced by his father was completed by him and he went on to produce a long line of universally acclaimed atlases—Handy Reference Atlas, Citizens Atlas of the World, Survey Gazetteer of the British Isles, Times Handy Atlas, Advanced Atlas of Modern Geography, and so on to The Times Atlas of the World (5 vols.) and some of the most up-to-date and most modernly produced maps for tourist and air-line companies.
His ever-active mind was always seeking further advances towards perfection in cartography—new methods of map projection, cleaner colours for differentiation, better type for lettering and paper more resistant to variations of temperature and humidity, to which end the Edinburgh Geographical Institute was an increasingly active laboratory. He oversaw the introduction of rotary offset printing machines.
His interest in promoting the cause and science of geography led him to give generously of his time and experience in raising the status of its teaching in the University of Edinburgh and in furthering its work by the provision of adequate library and laboratory facilities. He was also instrumental in establishing the chair in Geography at the University, completing a project his father had begun.
Like his father he was intensely devoted to the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, following him as Honorary Secretary in 1920, a post in which he served most assiduously until, thirty years later, in 1950 he relinquished the duties to become President; for four years he guided the Society's affairs with conspicuous success and general acceptance—years crowned by the return of the successful Everest expedition of Hillary and Hunt.
The call for Bartholomew's services came from a wide field and, despite the later increasing handicap of severe arthritis, he never declined where he felt he could help. He was a member of the Royal Geographical Society's Permanent Committee on Geographical Names, the Royal Society's National Committee on Geography, the Board of Trustees of the National Library of Scotland, the Executive Committee of the National Trust for Scotland and the Council of the Royal Society of Edinburgh—the three last named appealing very deeply to his love for his home country. He was one of the very few honorary members of the Royal Society Club, and always a welcome figure among the dinner-jacketed company sitting beneath the benign portrait of Sir Walter Scott.
Medals and honours were bound to come to so distinguished and so public spirited a man, albeit so retiring a personality. The Royal Scottish Geographical Society awarded him its Gold Medal in 1954, his old university made him an LL.D. in 1956, in 1960 he received the C.B.E. and a year later the Royal Geographical Society bestowed upon him their Patron's Medal for his outstanding "contributions to cartography"[4].
Ian died in Edinburgh on 9 February 1962, by then severely disabled by the arthritis that inhibited his mobility in his later years, and was survived by his wife, who died on 14 January 1972.

You see them pretty much everywhere kids are, everything from parades to dances to anything else in between. The Shriners are also known for getting some good food on your plate!This weekend is the big Les Webb Memorial Breakfast. It's the 27th year they've been doing this, and it's the biggest fundraiser the Shriners have all year. The funds are going to the kids who need help with medical needs. The Shriners are there to help all the kids who need transport to hospitals or who need certain medical procedures.

So don't forget to attend: it'll be at the Shriner's building, 1615 Elm Hills Blvd,. They'll meet from 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. for a $10 donation.

Guided Imagery is a way of thinking, using sensory attributes in the absence of sensory input. Read the latest research about Imagery's use in cancer care.
Presurgical guided imagery intervention can improve immune function in women undergoing surgical treatment for breast cancer.
Guided imagery is one of the most often used integrative mind-body medicine cancer modalities. Is it right for you?
As many of you know, I am going to invest a considerable amount of time and energy researching mind-body medicine modalities in the oncological setting. Partially because mind-body modalities modalities, when combined with standard treatment, show great promise to increase quality of life, reduce anxiety and pain intensity.
For a thorough description of my research interests please visit my Guided Imagery page at my website www.WernerAbsenger.com and my page about Mind-Body Skills Groups .
Right now I just wanted to bring awareness on research that is being done at Cyprus University. The following abstract by Andreas, C. (2011). The effect of progressive muscle relaxation and guided imagery in improving psychological well-being and quality-of-life for breast and prostate cancer patients: Initial report just appeared in the European Journal of Integrative Medicine.
Introduction: This study aimed to determine whether relaxation and guided imagery techniques have the potential to cut anxiety, depression, pain intensity and improve quality-of-life for prostate and breast cancer patients.

What is the Current Status of the Death Penalty in California?
Home » Firm News » FAQ » What is the Current Status of the Death Penalty in California?
Ask two people you know what their opinion on the death penalty is and you'll probably get two different answers. There has always been a lot of debate on the topic in this country. There has been so much pressure over the years that 20 states have abolished the death penalty.
Technically, the death penalty is still alive and well in California. However, it has not really been enforced since 2006. That was when the governor of California placed a moratorium on the death penalty. It had happened once before in 1997 as well.
The death penalty was found to possibly be unconstitutional. This is why there hasn't been an execution since 2006. The last man to be executed in California was Clarence Ray Allen who was killed by lethal injection on January 17, 2006.
Since then, no death row prisoner in California has been killed. And, it looks like the moratorium on the death penalty will continue for at least a few more years. Current Governor Gavin Newsom issued a new moratorium on the death penalty in early March of this year.
Why Did Governor Newsom Place the Recent Moratorium on the Death Penalty?
The Governor has issued a new moratorium on the death penalty. It will stay in effect at least until Newsom finishes out his term. But, as long as he's in office, the death penalty will be put on ice.
This doesn't mean that people on death row will be released from prison. In fact, these prisoners are still on death row and will remain there for the indefinite future. The moratorium also doesn't change the status of anyone's convictions or sentences.
The moratorium simply says that no death row prisoners can be executed until further notice. This was based on the following reasons:
There is no public safety benefit
The death penalty does not act as a criminal deterrent
It has wasted billions of dollars in taxpayer money
It can cause potentially irreparable harm to innocent people
The Governor cited a handful of friends or associates who had family members wrongfully convicted. He stated that the risk of an innocent person being killed is just too great to allow executions to proceed.
Does This Mean the Death Penalty Has Been Repealed?
The Governor cannot repeal the death penalty in California. The only way this could happen is if the voters in California decided to do so. And, the last two times this has been put to a vote, it was rejected.
In fact, there was a proposition in the last election where the voters were given the option of speeding up the execution process. Proposition 62 would have accelerated the appeals process so that executions would take place faster.
This Proposition would save the taxpayers billions of dollars. The Proposition was defeated but only by a slim margin. The Governor certainly wouldn't have supported this Proposition. His fear is that innocent people would be executed. Speeding up the execution timeline would only worsen this risk.
What Does this Mean for Defendants in California?
If you or your loved one are facing capital murder charges in California, you absolutely need to stay on top of this issue. Not only can it affect whether or not you get the death penalty, but it also changes how your San Diego Criminal Defense Lawyers handles your case.
With the death penalty on the table, the State has all the power when it comes to negotiating a plea bargain. If the death penalty isn't an option, it may lead to lesser sentences for all defendants accused of murder.
Basically, the repeal of the death penalty would mean that the ultimate possible sentence changes from death to life in prison. It takes a giant card out of the State's playbook. Your criminal defense lawyer in San Diego will use this to your advantage
Contact a Criminal Lawyer in San Diego
Chances are, you're not facing the death penalty in California. However, you may have been charged with very serious criminal charges recently. It's important that you have an experienced criminal defense lawyer by your side.
When your freedom is at stake, you don't want to handle it yourself. The prosecutor will take a private defense lawyer a lot more serious than they will a pro se defendant. And, like it or not, they'll give more credence to a defendant who hires a lawyer than one represented by a public defender.
If you're facing criminal charges, call and schedule your initial consultation with a skilled defense lawyer in San Diego today.

NEW YORK FAMILIES mark the holidays in different ways. For some, this might mean piling the kids off to see the Rockettes, sitting down to watch "A Charlie Brown Christmas," or joining the crowds to skate in circles in Central Park. Downtown, however, the performance crowd has its own repertoire of campy seasonal attractions: beglittered and bewigged, ambisexual and scantily dressed. I decided to find out more.
PERFORMA CONCLUDED A WEEK AGO, much to the relief of those of us who averaged a performance a day—or close to that: Over the biennial's three weeks, I attended eighteen Performa-related events. Yet performance in New York doesn't begin and end with Performa; it's a year-round sport. Performa claims a lot of territory, but what remains outside its borders is often as interesting as that which gets stamped with its logo, if not more so.
For Denkmal 11, the artist takes the museum as muse, presenting—alongside his plywood constructions—photographs of the Modern's galleries, conservation labs, movie theaters, and other spaces, digitally combined with images from the histories of art, architecture, and film.

TV Nation is a mashup that has been hanging around in multiple demo forms and a mix since 2008, now thanks to better stems and acapellas it's finished (I know I said I retired but this was an opportunity too good to miss, always wanted this to work - also always wanted to do a good Daft Punk mashup).
And it's oddly topical now, with Donald Trump and the presidential elections coming up, the lines about media manipulation and fat tycoons, people staying in their bubble and not wanting to step out of it. Sadly still very current.
Thanks go out to DJ Schmolli, Ian Fondue, Jez Celebrity Murder Party and Lee Spoons for their advice and help.

Q: Uncaught PDOException: could not find driver I have just installed an Ubuntu Server 16.04 with Nginx, and i have installed php in this way:
sudo apt-get install php7.0-cli php7.0-cgi php7.0-fpm php7.0-curl

And for MySql i have installed percona, in this way:
apt-get install percona-server-server-5.7 percona-server-client-5.7

but I can't understand why i can't use PDO in my php script, this is my code:
$db = new PDO("mysql:dbname=db;host=localhost;charset=utf8", "username", "password");

I get this error:
Uncaught PDOException: could not find driver

I have searched online and I have found that i have to uncomment this line in Windows in php.ini:
;extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

or this line on Linux:
;extension=php_pdo_mysql.so

I have checked my php.ini in:
/etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini

and i have a .dll file and not a .so file, I can't also understand why I have a dll instead of a so. Anyway enabling that .dll file and restarting php nothing change. Anyone can help me?
Thanks

A: Installing the mysql client/server packages doesn't effect PHP. PHP still needs the bindings to talk to your mysql server, specifically in your case the PDO mysql driver.
The package is probably going to be called php7.0-pdo-mysql depending on which repositories are configured your Ubuntu package manager. If you're using PHP 7 on Ubuntu 16.04 it's more than likely going to be a meta package that includes php7.0-mysql. Here's what I got from aptitude on 16.04 using the Ondrej PPA.
aptitude show php7.0-pdo-mysql

Package: php7.0-mysql
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 7.0.9-1+deb.sury.org~trusty+1
Priority: optional
Section: php
Maintainer: Debian PHP Maintainers
Architecture: amd64
Uncompressed Size: 514 k
Depends: php-common (>= 1:35), ucf, php7.0-common, libc6 (>= 2.15)
Provides: php-mysqli, php-mysqlnd, php-pdo-mysql, php7.0-mysqli, php7.0-mysqlnd, php7.0-pdo-mysql
Description: MySQL module for PHP
 This package provides the MySQL module(s) for PHP.

The php7.0-pdo-mysql is the one we're interested in for loading the mysql driver for PDO in PHP. So make sure to search your package manager to find the correct package before you attempt installing, but there should be a similar package for your distro/repositories.
Once installed you'll need to restart php-fpm, something like sudo service php7.0-fpm restart and then check your phpinfo() to make sure the pdo_mysql driver is now loaded.
You shouldn't need to edit your php.ini manually when installing through your package manager. Also, adding the extension=pdo_mysql.so line to your php.ini has no effect if the extension doesn't exist. And obviously, trying to load dll won't work on linux, those are Windows-only libraries.
