Prosecutors: Chief conspired with Goat Locker to steal government gear
Chief Aviation Electronics Technician Kirk P. Killian, shown here getting a haircut as a petty officer first class in 2010, has been charged with conspiring with other chiefs to steal military gear. (Navy)
A California-based Navy chief is facing court-martial next month over allegations that he conspired with other enlisted leaders to steal military gear.
Chief Aviation Electronics Technician Kirk P. Killian is charged with larceny of military property valued at more than $500 for ordering scopes, binoculars, night vision goggles, chemlites and other equipment and then stealing the items, according to his charge sheet.
Prosecutors allege he acquired the equipment through the Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services from March 2017 to July 2017 at Naval Air Station Lemoore, where he is assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron 14.
Sometimes referred to by an older acronym, DRMO, the DLA office oversees disposal of excess military property, everything from air conditioners to vehicles, computers and clothing.
The equipment usually is offered to units within the Defense Department but it also can be transferred to other federal, state or local agencies or sold to the public.
Chief convicted in body lotion shoplifting case
Offered NJP, she asked for a court-martial trial.
Killian's civilian defense attorney, Patrick McLain, told Navy Times Wednesday that his client has pleaded not guilty and his trial is scheduled to begin in late March.
McLain said Killian was ordering gear through the DLA office because those procurements don't count against a unit's budget.
Some of his orders involved excess night vision goggles that were to be cannibalized and used in a chief's initiation, McLain said.
"There's really no indication he was doing anything illegal by ordering stuff off of DRMO," McLain said.
McLain also questioned why charges were referred against Killian in November, two years after the Naval Criminal Investigative Service probed the allegations against him.
"The government is now pushing for a quick result, but I intend to seek sufficient time to give my client effective assistance of counsel and clear his name," McLain said.
Did this Navy chief deploy her security team without magazines for their weapons?
Her attorney said the case had been resolved a long time ago and wonders why the Navy brought it back.
One of Killian's alleged co-conspirators, Chief Aviation Electronics Technician Darren M. Heppler, also was assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron 14 and charged with similar crimes in October.
At a Nov. 14 court-martial trial, Heppler pleaded guilty to stealing military property from March 2017 to July 2017, the same dates listed for Killian's alleged crimes.
He also pleaded guilty to arranging for "two scopes" to be sold to a Wichita, Kansas, pawn shop, and Navy judge Cmdr. Chad Temple sentenced him to a bad conduct discharge, reduction in grade to E-1 and a year behind bars, according to court records.
But thanks to a plea deal, Heppler received no brig time and will not be reduced to a pay grade below E-5 or separated from the Navy with a punitive discharge, according to his civilian attorney, Corey Bean.
"He is retirement eligible but still on active duty," Bean said.
It remains unclear whether the convening authority had acted on the chief's sentence yet, according to Bean.
Provided to Navy Times last week, Heppler's service record indicates the Kansas native remains a chief.
"ATC Heppler regrets his involvement in this situation," Bean said in an email. "He took responsibility for his actions and he wants to put this behind him. I believe the Navy recognized ATC Heppler's minimal role in the charged misconduct which is why we were able to reach a pretrial agreement that greatly reduced confinement exposure and gave ATC Heppler a path to retirement."
Prosecutors also charged Heppler with wrongfully concealing a long range thermal video unit in July 2017, which he "then knew had been stolen," according to his charge sheets.
Heppler pleaded not guilty to that and the charge was dismissed, according to court records.
Attorney McLain told Navy Times in an email that the case began after government-contracted movers became suspicious of a household goods shipment for Heppler that was supposed to go from Lemoore to Kansas.
"The movers thought it odd, and contrary to regulation, that Chief Heppler had already boxed up and sealed the goods to be shipped," McLain said.
"When the movers unpacked and re-packed these items, they appeared to be government property…so law enforcement was notified."
An investigation found the items were obtained through DRMO, he said.
The probe also found that Killian had taken over Heppler's position in the squadron, a job that involved logistics, McLain said.
"So, Chief Killian ordered items for his unit from DRMO, since that is the normal practice for persons in a logistics billet with a need for items from DRMO, since they are delivered at no cost for the item, or shipping to the unit," the attorney said.
The question is whether some of the items — which McLain said "were stored away from the squadron hangar" — were obtained or stored in a way that indicated unlawful use or possession.
Service records show Killian arrived at the squadron in April 2016, about 15 months after Heppler's arrival.
Prosecutors: Navy chief stole pricey NEX watches
But he's got a plea deal in place.
Courtney Mabeus
A Navy chief who retired in 2017 — Christian C. Pelz — is listed as a third co-conspirator on the military charge sheets.
Navy Region Southwest spokesman Brian O'Rourke declined to comment on whether his case was referred to civilian law enforcement or if authorities cleared him.
O'Rourke also wouldn't say whether all the missing government gear had been recovered.
Pelz's name didn't appear on multiple federal and state court dockets and he didn't respond to several messages from Navy Times.
Prosecutors: Senior chief called officer 'dick,' deserted, committed sex crimes
A court-martial trial is scheduled April 6 through 10.

Yuma Sector's More Than 107 Miles of New Border Wall Complete
The last panel of the Yuma Sector's more than 107-mile area-of-operations was installed recently
YUMA, AZ. – The hubbub of semi-trucks, bulldozers, excavators and the like hauling, trenching and moving their way across the southwest border came to an end last month as the last panel of the more than 107-mile wall that spans Yuma Sector's area of operation was erected.
Although there are still some remaining security measures to be put in place, such as adding gates, lighting, cameras and a ground detection system, the last panel of fencing was placed on December 21, putting an end to a year-and-a-half-long effort to further secure the international border.
Work on the 18- to 30-foot-high bollard-style wall began in May of 2019 to replace existing outdated or dilapidated barriers along the border from as far west as Andrade, California, to east of Wellton. Fencing was also erected in areas where the Colorado River previously served as a natural divider.
The height of the new wall dwarfs all pre-existing fencing to serve as a deterrent to potential illegal border crossers and drug smugglers. The new fencing also offers a clear viewpoint to the south side into Mexico, providing additional safeguards for agents who were unable to see beyond what was once solid panel-style fencing in some areas.
"The Yuma area was an area of high illegal entries being guided by transnational criminal organizations who exploited and took advantage of our outdated and even dilapidated infrastructure," said Special Operations Supervisor Vincent Dulesky. "Now we have this new Border Wall, combined with extra technology that will enable the Yuma Sector to maintain operational control."

As part of its 80th Anniversary, the British Council in Colombia will be jointly launching with COLFUTURO (one of the main funding bodies in the country) the BRICC* scholarship programme (British Council Colombian Creative Industries, for its acronym in Spanish).
They will be offering 15 scholarships of £13,000 to Colombian students interested in pursuing a Creative Industries Masters programme in the UK.
British Council was the first institution to ever develop work in the Creative Industries (CI) in Colombia, and it has played a pivotal role not only in the development of the creative sector in itself, but also in helping develop the skills and understanding of some of the most important governmental bodies developing programmes and policies in this field. With the inclusion of Creative Economy as one of the drivers of the current government's development agenda, this scholarship scheme at a postgraduate level will help foster further growth in the creative sector, aiding the government's priority to support economic growth and social stability through the arts and culture.
They have identified 27 Master's programmes in the UK which specifically focus in the Creative Industries, which includes at least one programme at Queen Mary Unniversity of London. Students who are selected as part of COLFUTURO's Scholarship-Loan programme are eligible to obtain the BRICC scholarship as long as they are accepted in one of these Master's programmes.
The call for applications will open through COLFUTURO's website today (8 January) and closes on 28 February 2019. Students do not need to have their unconditional offer by the time the call closes, but they need to demonstrate they have started their application process with the institution of their choice. Results will be published on 14 May 2019.

LLNN
In 22 April
LLNN to perform Unmaker in its entirety
As we all know by now, Roadburn wasn't able to exist in its usual form in 2021, so we went online and put together a programme of performances, premieres and more for Roadburners around the globe. A standout of Roadburn Redux was the collection of bands showcased under the banner of Pelagic Presents. The German label, helmed by The Ocean's Robin Staps, has a roster jam-packed with talent – both established acts and must-see up-and-comers. As we worked towards our 2022 edition, we decided we would bring Pelagic Presents with us as we return to the physical realm.
LLNN are heavy on record, for sure, but live? Live they're one of the heaviest bands that I – your humble guide – have witnessed. This kind of heaviness is not drawn from a giant amp stack, it doesn't come from relentless blast beats. The best I can surmise is that it's just the sheer level of intensity they conjure up; an urgency that is hard to come by. After two years mostly on pause, the volume turned down, it gives cause to wince when imagining coming face to face with the sheer ferocity of an LLNN live show once again.
Fortunately for us, we have a few months more to come to terms with what will await us in Tilburg in April. The band – who hail from Copenhagen – will be performing their latest album, Unmaker in full for us. This cinematic presentation is chock full of end-of-the-world vibes and heralds what sounds like the dawn of a bleak future. If you're looking for sunshine and roses, you're best off looking elsewhere. If you're looking for nuance, experimentalism, and attention to detail in your obscenely heavy music, then LLNN are the band to deliver it.
"We look forward to bringing our astro sonic metal forged on LV-426 to Roadburn and playing Unmaker in its entirety.
This is LLNN, last survivors of the Nostromo, signing off."
-Becky Laverty
Date: April 22
Time: TBA

A Small Orange was founded in 2003 and currently has over 30 employees and serves tens of thousands of customers worldwide. Their headquarters are located in Durham, North Carolina and are actively seeking job applicants for five job openings, which is a strong indication of company growth.
In this review, I'm taking a look at the A Small Orange website, packages, pricing, customer support options, and more. I'll also take a look at outside resources to see how satisfied their customers are on independent verified resources.
Have experience with A Small Orange? Awesome! Please click here and leave a review below!
A Small Orange is a unique company because they refused to follow the rest of the companies that offer "unlimited everything" for an impossibly low price. It simply isn't physically possible to offer 300GB+++ of actual space and Terabytes of bandwidth for a measly $4.95 a month (see any site that offers dedicated servers that has this much space). What these companies do instead is hide limitations, upsell you, and terminate your site if you use too many resources.
Instead, A Small Orange offers plans that offer the exact resources you'll need with no worry about hundreds of emails that upsell to other products and services and they promise to only email you with billing, customer support, and the occasional random customer survey for measuring customer satisfaction.
This video shows you how to purchase a domain and setup hosting through A Small Orange. This video gives you a good idea of how hosting from A Small Orange works as well as setting up WordPress after signing up.
* The business web hosting plans include a Free SSL Certificate, dedicated IP, and PCI Compliance which are needed for Ecommerce web hosting.
A Small Orange also offers Cloud VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and Dedicated Servers. I will get into these in a separate comparison page soon. If these are what you are looking for, please visit their site and take a look.
With all of these options made available to you, how do you choose? Let's say your budget is $20 a month for premium web hosting. Your options include the Large shared web hosting plan that offers 15GB space, the Small reseller plan that offers 3GB space but allows 30 separate sites, or the Startup business hosting plan that offers 10GB space but includes everything you need for hosting an eCommerce website. For me, there's just too much decision!You have to choose based on how many sites you think you'll need, how much space you need, and assume there's actually a difference in hosting quality depending on the package you choose from.
On the awesome: A Small Orange prices are up-front and honest. The prices I quoted above are actually the per-month price for their hosting services. They actually offer a discounted rate if you choose to pre-pay 3 months, 6 months, or a year in advance. Trust me when I say, most companies (like over 90%) quote you the 12-36 month prepay monthly price and no the real monthly price which is refreshing and a near shock to me as a long-time host reviewer.
One of the best ways to determine reliability is to take a look at their money back guarantee. A Small Orange offers a 45 day money back guarantee and guarantee a 99.9% uptime. Since they do not oversell their servers, they also do not attract the type of client that will abuse their service with high resource usage whose consumption can slow or even bring down shared servers.
Technicians are available 24/7/365 and are monitoring their data centers around the clock. Their data centers are patrolled by guards, monitored over CCTV, and are located behind multiple redundant lines of physical security.
What if I want to cancel? With A Small Orange, if you want to cancel your service after the 45-day money back guarantee, they will offer you a pro-rated refund for any unused services you've paid for. However, as I've said above, you aren't forced into a 1-year, 2-year, or even 5-year commitment. If you want to pay monthly, A Small Orange actually allows you to do so.
My recommendation: For A Small Orange, because it's important for hosts to earn your trust, I recommend signing up to your preferred package on a monthly basis. After three months of using their service, checking uptimes, and verifying the service is right for your site, then contact them and upgrade to a yearly plan to lock in their pre-pay discounts. Not many hosts offer this option, so take advantage of it.
With A Small Orange, your best bet for ECommerce web hosting is their Business Web Hosting plans. These plans include a free SSL certificate which is needed for any online credit card transactions. Their business plans also include a dedicated IP address, also needed for the SSL certificate, and finally, the business class includes full compatibility with PCI compliance.
After you sign up for their business class hosting, shoot them a quick email and let them know your domain that you want your free SSL cert and they will take care of the rest.
Unfortunately, A Small Orange does not offer telephone technical support as of the time of this review. This is actually a common occurrence with smaller web hosts because the costs associated with offering this outweigh the benefits until they attract more customers. Some hosts opt to outsource their telephone support to offer the appearance of better support, however, these hosts quickly discover that the language barrier associated with overseas support actually can permanently damage reputations.
A Small Orange is dedicated to offering reliable customer service. In fact, they are one of only few companies that offer a support response time openly on their public web pages as shown to the left.
Note: Please understand that the waiting time shown is a screenshot at the time of this review and not their actual current waiting time.
After my in-depth review above, I'm actually quite impressed with A Small Orange. I love the small host feel and the site really gives me the impression that they care about their clients and are here for the long haul. A Small Orange does many things right including offering monthly payment options, discounted pre-paid pricing, and up-front quoted pricing based on the monthly price, not on some ridiculous three to five year prepaid plan. I really love the honesty here and you should too!
Things they need to work on: After continued growth, I would like to see them offer a telephone customer support option for clients. I'd also like to see less choice on their hosting offering because too many choices can often create confusion for a person who is new to web hosting and still unsure of how much space or bandwidth they will need. It's good service to actually answer as many questions as possible without the client needing to email support for suggestions and a smaller package lineup would do just that.
Have you had any experience with this host? I hope that you'll spend five minutes and share your experience with this host in the comments below. Feel free to share anything from good to bad experiences as well as your website.
Thanks for this review, Scott. I am currently seriously considering moving *all* my (admittedly, hobby) sites to A Small Orange. At the moment, I have just the minimum package (one site) with ASO and I have absolutely no complaints.
The reason I am thinking about changing hosts totally to ASO is for the very reasons you detailed at the beginning of your excellent article: I got stung by the "too many resources used" trick at my current host and have gone from $15/mth to $70+/mth and they insist it's not possible to move back. So, I'll move totally to A Small Orange, I reckon.
Hi Scott.. I found this blog while searching about a small orange. Just yesterday signed up to them after checking if they could transfer my sites from old host to thier server. They agreed readily to do a Capnel to capanel transfer.
From yesterday, they are facing problems to take back up of Capnel from my old host as the job has timed out many times. But I see the patience and communication they maintain all through. It is top notch. Till now the transfer is not complete, but probably will be done today EOD. But I wanted to check others opinion on their support and if this is only during the initial days of setup. I hardly find any unhappy customers. So at least I landed up at the right place.
This is only the set up experience which is great so far. Hope the hosting experience itself is good. Thums up from a recent user with only limited experience yet.
I've been with ASO since they bought Draknet. They've been great. Uptime is fabulous and all problems or questions are resolved by a real human being with the company.
I'm 5 years with my current provider and I'm very content with the service they delliver! I have a shared server were my site is on and now building a new site with WordPress. My provider deliver the knowledge and expertise. With warm regards, Ruud.
I have used ASmallOrange since day 1. And I must say that I have nothing but good experiences. It is really a fast, efficient, and smart hosting service. I would recommend it highly to everyone. I use their reseller hosting with the medium plan. That gives me access to the WHM for managing my various websites. I think you should give this one a try. If nothing else, go with their Tiny plan.
I'd just like to comment on a couple of your points.
– my experience with the chat help has been stellar — they really do this well, and I am speaking as someone who has long experience in web things. Great information, friendliness, and accurate answers. As this is available 24/7 especially, I think it works better than phone service, and so they don't need that.
– I also think it's quite unfair to put up that 28 minute wait timesaver an example. I've always found them much, much quicker, usually with very little delay or none at all.
– finally, I can assure you that with the different possible uses of hosting, you really need those alternatives you are complaining about. That's why they're in small groups on separate pages for purposes.
Anyway, nice to hear a positive review for folks who really deserve one, at A Small Orange.
nice, I like it , I was gonna use [anotherhost]* but this changed my mind.
I have been hosting with ASO for about 3 months. This is by far, at this point, the best hosting company I have ever been with. The support and customer service are amazing.
Phone support doesn't matter because they have chat and that gets the job done. I have had 3 reasons to contact support and a tech was available immediately, problem solved the first time, and they went the extra mile every time.
The speed of the hosting blows away MediaTemple, GoDaddy and anyone else you want to put up here. I highly recommend A Small Orange to everyone. I run a VPS and moved 12 websites I was hosting over and it was easy and the hosting is just amazing!! You will not regret giving ASO a shot.
I have a busy e-Commerce site hosted by A Small Orange in a dedicated VPS. I haven't had more than a few months of uptime before a significant crash occurred with their cloud infrastructure. Every time my VPS was down for several hours, sometimes a day, before they could fix their infrastructure. Search for @asmallorange on Twitter and you'll see that a lot of people have been affected by their unreliable service. I would not recommend them.
This is by far the worst company I've partnered with. Ever.
SIx days of constant downtime and yet not a single reply either on my ticket, or on my tweets. It is like begging for clients to go away.
They have live chat, support via twitter, support via facebook, ticket system and yet, the do not answer during crisis to any of these media.
One should avoid at any cost if one has even the slightest expectation of building a stable website. Their support is very polite when they are about to tell you that your website is down, but they never give you a reason and are very slow at troubleshooting. Again, they managed in less than a year to be a shadow of what they wanted to be. Such a pity.
A small orange is the best hosting service and this having many features and this website is so colorful to see ever.

Q: Previous value of angles is overriden with new values for all lines in list. Why? I'm trying to save the angle values where I have two line segments intersecting.
I made AngleOne and AngleTwo global variables so that I can refer to them in my SaveElements() method.
When the custom event onDrawingSecondLine is thrown, it checks if the line segments are intersecting and if so, set the angles.
Then I am looping through each line in my lines list and assigning the angle values to be saved in the db.
Here's what I have so far:
string angleOne = "";
string angleTwo = "";

public void onDrawingSecondLine (object sender, LineDrawingEvent e) {

    if (LinesIntersect) {

    angleOne =  CameraObject.GetComponent<DrawLines>().GetAngle();
    angleTwo = (180.00 - Double.Parse(angleOne)).ToString();

    intersectingLineOne.lineParams.displayName = "  " + angleTwo + "(" + angleOne + ")";

    string angle = intersectingLineOne.lineParams.displayName;
    string col = Color.cyan.ToString();
    SaveLinesWithAngles(e.lineName, angle, col);
    }
    else
    {
        intersectingLineOne.lineParams.displayName = " ";
        angleOne = "";
        angleTwo = "";
        string angle = intersectingLineOne.lineParams.displayName;
        string col = Color.cyan.ToString();
        SaveLinesWithAngles(e.lineName, angle, col);
    }

}

public void SaveLinesWithAngles(string lineName, string angle, string col)
{
    PlanningParams p;
    List<PlanningParams> planningParamsList = new List<PlanningParams>();
    int lineNumber = 1;
    p = SaveElements();
    if (p != null)
    {
        planningParamsList.Add(p);
    }

    string type = GetLineType(lineName);
    string s = XmlSerializeUtility.ToXml(planningParamsList);
    lineNumber = currentIntersectingLine;
    Application.ExternalCall("BrowserSide.Planning.SaveToSession", s, ViewType, angle, "LinesWithAngles", col, lineNumber);
}

private PlanningParams SaveElements() {

    PlanningParams planningParams = null;
    planningParams = new PlanningParams();

    foreach (Line line in CameraObject.GetComponent<DrawLines>().GetLinesWithAngles())
    {
        LinesWithAnglesData linesWithAnglesData = new LinesWithAnglesData();
        linesWithAnglesData.angleValue1 = float.Parse(angleOne);
        linesWithANglesData.angleValue2 = float.Parse(angleTwo);
        planningParams.LinesWithAnglesData.Add(linesWithAngleData);
    }

}

public List<Line> GetLinesWithAngles()
    {
        List<Line> linesWithAngles = new List<Line>();
        int i = 0;
        if (lines == null)
        {
            return null;
        }
        for (i = 0; i < lines.Count; i++)
        {
            if (lines[i].elementType == ElementType.Line && lines[i].lineParams.lineName.Contains("IntersectingLine"))
            {
                linesWithAngles.Add(lines[i]);
            }
        }

        return linesWithAngles;
    }

Why are the values of Angle One and Angle Two always updated to the new value and don't keep their current values?
How can I make it so the values are not updated to new value?
EDIT:
Seems like a similar issue like this guy had: Why does adding a new value to list<> overwrite previous values in the list<>
But I do have my instance inside my foreach loop. Inside the foreach loop, I noticed that the old value is overriden with the new value.

Q: Canvas drawables and centered zooming I'm playing with a Google tutorial to implement zooming capabilities to my canvas.  I'm drawing several items onthe canvas and I'm able to move it via Canvas.translate(dx,dy) along with the items.  In order for me to determine if these items are touched after the canvas translation, I take the canvas offset used for Canvas.translate(dx,dy) and subtract the touch position.  Once I introduce scaling into the picture, it get's a little tricky.  If I use Canvas.scale(sx,sy) and do (touchX-offsetX)/scaleFactor the translation of the touch position after the scale works perfect.  However, if include a pivot position Canvas.scale(sx,sy,px,py) the code above those not work.  How do I go about factoring in the  pivot position as a part of my touch translation? I set my pivot position by doing the following,
    public boolean onScaleBegin(ScaleGestureDetector detector) {
    mScaleX = detector.getFocusX();
    mScaleY = detector.getFocusY();
    return true;
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: Simple solution
 public class ScalableImageView extends View {
    Matrix drawMatrix = new Matrix();
    ScaleGestureDetector detector;
    public ScalableImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
         @Override
        public boolean onScale(ScaleGestureDetector detector) {

            drawMatrix.postScale(detector.getScaleFactor(), detector.getScaleFactor(), detector.getFocusX(), detector.getFocusY());
            invalidate();
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onScaleBegin(ScaleGestureDetector detector) {
            return drawMatrix != null;
        }

        @Override
        public void onScaleEnd(ScaleGestureDetector detector) {

        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        super.onDraw(canvas);

        canvas.save();
        canvas.concat(drawMatrix);
        // ... draw here
        // for example drawable.draw()
        canvas.restore();
    }

}

Q: ToggleButtons in ItemsControl bound to an ObservableCollection First of all i want to excuse my English.
What i want to achieve looks very simple but i'm a bit lost in the implementation.
Background: I have an ObservableCollection of Contacts. these contacts all have 1 or more ContactRoles. I bind the contacts to the itemssource of an ItemsControl and want a ToggleButton for every role in the contact to be displayed.
Question: My first question is how can i go from a list of contacts with roles to a lot of ToggleButtons on screen. The second question i have is If i click one ToggleButton all other buttons that have the same contact need to be checked as well. If i click another togglebutton  which belong to another contact all checked buttons needs to be unchecked and the buttons belonging to the new contact needs to be checked.
What do i have now: What i have now is an itemscontrol in an itemscontrol and the internal itemscontrol it's itemtemplate is printing the ToggleButtons look an the code below:
<Button Content="Add" Width="72" Height="27" Command="{Binding Path=AddContact}" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
            <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Contacts}" IsTabStop="False" Name="Parent">
                <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                    <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                        <WrapPanel  />
                    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
                </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding ContactRoles}">
                            <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                                <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                                    <WrapPanel  />
                                </ItemsPanelTemplate>
                            </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                            <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                                <DataTemplate>
                                    <ToggleButton Content="{Binding}" CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=Parent, Path=DataContext.Item}" Template="{StaticResource toggleButtonTemplateButtonBar}"
                                      Command="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Window}}, Path=DataContext.ViewContact}" Height="27" MinWidth="100">

                                    </ToggleButton>
                                </DataTemplate>
                            </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                        </ItemsControl>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
            </ItemsControl>

This part of the code is showing.
I hope someone can help me with this.
Some other questions i have is Do i need to make a Custom Control that inherits from ItemsControl or can this be done by templates and styles?
I you need more information let me know.
Thanks, Jordy
EDIT:
I'm sorry i was not so clear with formulating my questions. to come back on you comment. The ItemsSource of the first ItemsControl hold a list with unique contacts, the ItemsSource of the second hold a list of strings (roles) that belong to this contact. I want to show an ToggleButton for each role of all contacts. But i think you've guested that from my codeexample.

This image will show what i'm trying to do.
I hope this makes thing more clear.

A: As Snowbear said please provide more inputs... From your questions I see ...

My first question is how can i go from a list of contacts with roles
  to a lot of ToggleButtons on screen.

What do you mean by GO? Are you asking that how are Contacts or Contact.Roles  tranformed into ToggleButtons? Then that is what your ItemTemplate is doing. If you are asking that you want some property or data from Contact object to be held by the toggle button then you have already used Binding in your ItemTemplate.
        <ToggleButton Content="{Binding}" Tag="{Binding Roles}">
        </ToggleButton>

In the above example, Tag which is one of the non-visual properties of  FrameworkElements in WPF, is bound to the list of Roles from the corresponding Contact object.

The second question i have is If i click one ToggleButton all other
  buttons that have the same contact need to be checked as well.

Are you saying that in your list of Contacts some Contact object is added multiple times in the list? If so that is a bad design and may cause blunders while using ItemsSource. If no, then this statement of yours all other buttons that have the **same contact** is confusing. Do you mean that you have Contacts which may repeat but they are not the same object by reference. Probably they share by some identifying value e.g. they have same Contact.Name or Contact.ID etc.
If some identifying value of contact is what is same among different contact objects then you will have to intelligently use the SelectedValue binding.

If i click another togglebutton which belong to another contact all
  checked buttons needs to be unchecked and the buttons belonging to the
  new contact needs to be checked.

Again this is possible once you decide what are you really trying to do i.e. are you adding same Contact object multiple time or you have different Contact objects having some value common.

Do i need to make a Custom Control that inherits from
  ItemsControl or can this be done by templates and styles?

in WPF, ANYTHING can be achieved using common templates and styles. They definitely eliminate need for creating a custom control for various visually similar looking controls.
BUT if you control has a behavior or functionality that you need to perform exactly the same in multiple places and you want it sealed and to limit itself performing that specific function, then creating a custom control makes sense.
So please rephrase your question and provide clearer inputs.


It might seem rather surprising that 'collaboration' is the theme for this issue of Observe.
It's hardly a new thing. Shouldn't collaboration be at the heart of everything we do? In work, at home and in our daily lives, positive collaboration can be the difference between success or failure and between conflict or resolution. Yet, we still seem adept as a species at doing the things that go against the grain of collaboration. Why?
This issue of Observe takes a sweeping look at a wide array of collaboration-related topics and we hope offers some constructive and innovative ways in which collaboration can – and is – being integrated into different business arenas.
For example, we look at how industry and the academic world have joined forces, the fascinating 'psychology' of collaboration, famous – and infamous – business alliances, how arts and cultural organisations are forging new partnerships, and even the thorny subject of collaboration overload. And, for the first time, we look inside Odgers Berndtson to give readers an insight into why collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
Comments from some of the Odgers Berndtson leaders around the world demonstrate the lengths we are prepared to go to in order to ensure clients, candidates and our own people all feel part of a holistic entity wherein collaboration plays a fundamental role.


Album Review of The Joy of Waiting by Sara Lowes.
As keyboard wonder for on/off indie beauties The Earlies and a respected session player/vocalist, Sara Lowes has been involved in series of acclaimed albums since the mid 2000s. As well as serving as backing band member for the unique Daniel Johnston and cropping up behind the likes of King Creosote, Lowes has quietly carved a niche for herself as a respected solo artist. The Joy of Waiting follows 2011's charmed, accomplished Back to Creation and offers an intelligent, considered step forward in the realm of jazz-inflected chamber pop.


Facebook reportedly wants to stick a camera on your television as part of its foray into consumer hardware. According to Cheddar's Alex Heath, who accurately reported on the Portal smart display that Facebook announced last week, the TV device is codenamed "Ripley," and it would provide both video chat and streaming video services. Facebook reportedly plans to announce the device next spring, but that timing could change.
Although Heath didn't mention this specifically, Facebook Portal has one unique feature that might help sell the TV concept: Users can set up synchronized viewing and listening sessions with services like Facebook Watch, Food Network, Spotify, Newsy, and Pandora. In theory, watching TV with faraway friends sounds pretty neat.
The problem, of course, is Facebook, which just suffered a major security breach that exposed the personal information of nearly 30 million users, and admitted earlier this year that up to 87 million users had their data harvested without permission by political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica. Those blunders, along with other recent breaches of trust (such as misusing two-factor authentication numbers for targeted ads), could turn users off the idea of a Facebook-powered TV camera.
That may not stop other companies from trying something similar. Last month, OnePlus founder Pete Lau said the company wants to release a television with a built-in camera in 2019.


The Aristocats is a 1970 animated feature produced and released by Walt Disney Productions. It is the twentieth animated feature in the Disney animated features canon. Based on a story by Tom McGowan and Tom Rowe, the story revolves around a family of aristocratic cats, and how an alley cat acquaintance helps them after a butler has kidnapped them to gain his mistress' fortune which was meant to go to them. It was originally released to theaters by Buena Vista Distribution on December 11, 1970. The title is a pun on the word aristocrats.
The film's basic idea - an animated romantic musical comedy about talking cats in France - had previously been used in the UPA animated feature Gay Purr-ee.
"The Aristocats" is the title song from the 1970 movie of the same name. It was written by Robert & Richard Sherman at the end of the eight year tenure working for Walt Disney Productions. Actor and singer Maurice Chevalier came out of retirement to sing this song for the motion picture's soundtrack. He recorded it in English as well as in French translation ("Naturellement - les Aristocats!").

Last week Tesla announced their redesigned heavy-duty, aerodynamic electric semi truck. While there are already some electric trucks on the road, Musk and his brand tend to be a big influence in the world of vehicles. The new design is sleek and more aerodynamic, with covered wheels and a bullet nose. These changes will allow for faster speeds and more efficient fuel use. The most surprising change, however, is the placement of the driver in the cab– right in the middle. Sitting in the center, rather than all the way to one side, gives the driver more visibility and ultimately more control over the vehicle. It also reduces the amount of space from side to side, decreasing the amount of drag for the wind, and increasing the speed of the vehicle. Musk said in his speech that they specifically designed the truck to resemble a bullet, and considering the infamous bullet trains, it was a smart move if speed was what they were aiming for.
The semis are Class 8 rated, meaning the gross weight of the vehicle is 80,000 pounds. It reaches sixty miles per hour in twenty seconds– that's about 40 seconds quicker than a diesel. The trucks run on what Musk called megachargers, which are solar powered, and each unit will contain four motors. He did not disclose the capacity of the batteries, nor the horsepower. Fully loaded, the semi can travel around 500 miles at highway speeds. Musk said that the Tesla semis were intended for short-range, regional routes, like port-to-distribution transportation. They do, however, satisfy many of the freight requirements, since the average route is significantly lower than 500 miles. Around eighty percent of the goods transported in the United States moves less than 250 miles. However, he also claimed that a long-haul sleeper cab is being developed.
The design and the driver placement make sense, economically, but will the slow-changing trucking industry accept these changes, or will there be push back? With the capability of much higher speeds, the issue of safety will surely come up, but Musk says safety won't be an issue. The vehicles are equipped with the top-of-the-line safety and driver assistance systems, to the extent that they will be able to be fully autonomous when, or if, that is made legal. There is no doubt that Tesla and this new design will make a significant impact on the trucking industry, it has all the potential to be revolutionary. The question is, how long will that change take?

Home / News / PAKISTAN: Religious minority representation in political process conspicuously absent
PAKISTAN: Religious minority representation in political process conspicuously absent
Statement |Pakistan | September 2, 2016
Despite a lapse of 69 years, religious minority communities of the country lack representation in mainstream politics. A true representative democracy and constitutional politics are the best institutional tools to protect and advance the interests of religious minorities in any set of social conditions. Unfortunately, in Pakistan, the political representation of minorities in mainstream politics is a farce. Minorities are not granted rights on equal footing with the majority. The Constitution itself is greatly biased against the religious minorities, as Articles 41 and 42 limits the post of President, the Prime Minister, and the Speaker of National Assembly to Muslims.
The question of what type of polity Pakistan should be—liberal, democratic, or Islamic—evokes different responses from different social sectors and political interests. Military leaders, mainstream political parties, and Islamists have all attempted to define this relationship according to their vision of democratic development and the role of religion in society and State affairs. As a consequence of this, unending conflicts of interest and expedient coalitions, the autonomy of the civil political sphere and the general question of civil liberties and minority rights have suffered a severe setback.
At the time of its formation, the rhetoric around Pakistan included rights to freedom of religion. The forefathers of the State envisaged a free State, where each minority group would have the right to profess their beliefs freely, without fear of being persecuted. Unfortunately, soon after its creation, the political religious parties, purporting to be guardians of Islam, hijacked the State of Pakistan. And, today, intolerance towards pluralism and interfaith harmony has seeped into the general populace and the apparatus of the State.
In Pakistan, the Hindu, Christian, Ahmadi and Hazara Shia communities are marginalized and ostracized, socially and economically. Of all the minorities groups, Ahmadis bear the most brunt. A constitutional amendment of 1974, declared Ahmadi as non-Muslims. But since they don't accept their new status, they stay away from electoral process.
A large proportion of people belonging to the minority community comprise the labor class, working in various sectors including agriculture, brick kilns, sanitation, and other menial jobs. Owing to poverty and social discrimination, the rights of religious minorities are often violated and the justice system also fails to protect them. In fact, the presence of discriminatory laws in the Constitution legitimizes the victimization of religious minorities.
Denied political representation, the minority community suffers repression at the hands of political elites, in all modern democratic states; the civil rights of citizens are recognized in the Constitution as fundamental rights, as they ensure that the subjects are able to lead an honorable life, without fear of being persecuted or discriminated on the basis of caste, creed, color, religious belief, or ethnicity.
The Constitution's Article 51(2A) provides 10 reserved seats for religious minorities in the National Assembly, and 23 seats for minorities in the four provincial assemblies under Article 106. The political parties are provided reserved seats proportionally on their numerical strength in the Legislature, and candidates stand elected according to the order of the list provided by the party. The process makes the exercise of representation pointless, as the minority representative becomes a pawn in the hands of the political party winning majority seats. Currently, there is no representation from minority women.
Though the State has been taking steps to streamline minorities in the system of governance, the reforms are unfortunately reduced to paper only. Vide Amendment to Article 60 of the Constitution in 2014, the following changes were made:
In 1985, the system of separate electorate was introduced for non-Muslims. Initially, there were 10 reserved seats for non-Muslims when the number of general seats was 2017. When general seats were increased to 272 in 2002, the number of seats reserved for non-Muslims remained the same, i.e. 10. The minority community strongly feels that minority representation in National and provincial assemblies should be increased in proportion to the population of non-Muslims.
After the Constitutional Amendment Bill 2014, minorities were given the right to dual vote by virtue of Amendment in Article 51, Sub section 6 of the Constitution, which reads "non-Muslim has the right to cast dual vote one vote for general seat and second vote for reserved seat in accordance with the law."
Despite some gains in their political participation, minorities find themselves marginalized from the decision-making processes and are unable to fully represent minority communities. For instance, there was no representative from the minorities amongst the 27 members of the Parliamentary Constitutional Reforms Committee, set up for the recent 18th Amendment.
It is the same situation for the committee that has been set up to implement the constitutional amendments as well. Those competing from party seats often have to follow the party mandate and are unable to raise concerns related to religious minorities.
A major part of minority population is poor, illiterate, and thus socially and economically marginalized. The Asian Human Rights Commission strongly suggests that steps need to be taken for the economic empowerment of minorities. Restoration of Joint Electorate System has been a positive step to increase political participation, however political parties need to mainstream religious minorities and allocate general seats the education syllabus in Pakistan has not been reformed so as to address lack of tolerance, hate images, lack of democratic values, etc. A New Education Policy needs to be implemented to address the problem. The 18thAmendment has been a good step but religious and other biases in the Constitution have not been addressed, therefore it has not benefitted the religious minorities in any way.

Identification Protocol (also known as "auth" protocol, from the name given it in the UNIX /etc/services file), specified by RFC-1413, is a pointless and potentially dangerous protocol.
Someone (a client) walks up to your front door and knocks.
You (the server) ask, "who's there?"
The person at the door (the client) says, "It's John Q. Public!"
Computers are multi-user timesharing systems with secured operating systems.
The computer user and the computer systems administrator are different people.
The computer systems administrator is trustworthy.
The upshot of these assumptions is that when your system contacts the identd server of a remote system, you can trust the data returned that supposedly identifies a user who is trying to use a network service on your server, because there is a trustworthy system administrator on the remote system who is watching over his users with an eagle-eye, and who will readily and happily identify his users to you because you asked.
PC's running Windows have one user, and the operating system is not secure at all.
The computer user and the computer systems administrator are the same person.
The PC user may or may not be trustworthy - you can't know in advance.
The data that any PC will return in this protocol has no bona fides or other utility than as a random string of bits which may or may not have any relationship to the user of the remote system. It can't actually be used for anything real. The author of RFC-1413 says so explicitly in section 6 of the protocol specification (Go read it yourself - the whole document is only 16K bytes of text, and the "security considerations" section is just a few paragraphs).
There are some server administrators on the Internet who seem to believe that identification protocol has some utility, because they require it to use their services. These people are deluding themselves, lulling themselves into a completely false sense of security - they believe that they have an audit trail which they can use to grab users who abuse their services.
As the protocol description above demonstrates, this is the assumption of a fool.
Of course, if you're trying to use the services of some site that has decided against all common sense to require you to run identd, you might as well oblige them at minimal cost to yourself. To that end, I've coded up an identd that runs under inetd and is small, fast, and efficient. Feel free to audit the code yourself, compile it up for your variant of UNIX and run it to demonstrate the true utility of this protocol.

Q: $G$ is a simple group of order $60$.Then $G$ contains a subgroup of order 12 $G$ is a simple group of order $60$. Then show that $G$ contains a subgroup of order 12.
* MY TRY:
Suppose $G$ has no subgroup of order 12. Let $n_5$ denote the number of Sylow 5-subgroups of $G$. Then $n_5$ is either 1 or 6.
$n_5$ cannot be 1, for this would contradict that the group is simple.
If $n_5=6$, then we have 24 elements of order 5.
Now $n_2=1,3,5$, or $15$. If $n_5=15$, let the Sylow 2-subgroups be $B_1,B_2,\dotsc$.
Then either $B_i\cap B_j=\{e\}$ or $|B_i\cap B_j|=2$.
If $B_i\cap B_j=\{e\}$, then the group would have at least 70 elements (45 + 24 + 1), a contradiction.
If $|B_i\cap B_j|=2$, then $B_i\cap B_j$ is a normal subgroup of both $B_i$ and $B_j$. Then I considered $N(B_i\cap B_j)=\{g\in G:g(B_i\cap B_j)g^{-1}=B_i\cap B_j\}$,
and arrived at a contradiction (not providing details though) on considering $o(N(B_i\cap B_j))$.
Thus $n_2\neq 15$.  $n_2\neq 1$ as the group is simple.
How can I eliminate the remaining cases that $n_2$ is 3 or 5?

A: This is a detailed answer based on old comments.
Let $\mathfrak{X}_p$ be the set of all Sylow $p$-subgroups of $G$. Recall that (1) any two Sylow $p$-subgroups are conjugate and (2) Every conjugate of a Sylow $p$-subgroup is also a Sylow $p$-subgroup. Thus $G$ acts on $\mathfrak{X}_p$ by conjugation. This action induces a homomorphism $\phi_p \colon G \rightarrow A(\mathfrak{X}_p)$, where $A(\mathfrak{X}_p)$ is the group of all permutations of $\mathfrak{X}_p$. That is, $\phi_p(g) : X \mapsto g.X=g^{-1}Xg$, where $X \in \mathfrak{X}_p$ and $g \in G$.
Suppose $n_2=3$. Since $|\mathfrak{X}_2| = n_2=3$, we can identify  $\phi_2 \colon G \rightarrow A(\mathfrak{X}_2)=S_3$. Since $\ker \phi_2$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ and $G$ is simple, $\ker \phi_2 = \{e \}, G$. (Here $e$ denotes the identity element of $G$.) By the first isomorphism theroem, $G / \ker \phi_2 \cong \text{im}(\phi_2) $. Calculating cardinalities yields $$\frac{|G|}{|\ker \phi_2 |} = |\text{im}(\phi_2) | \leq 6 $$
Thus $\ker \phi_2 = G$. That is, for any $g \in G$, $\phi_2 (g) : X \mapsto g^{-1}Xg$ is the identity map. In other worlds, every $X \in \mathfrak{X}_2$ is a normal subgroup of $G$; contradicts to the simplicity of $G$.

Now I'll give a proof for the remaining part. As you showed that $n_2 \neq 1, 15$, we have $n_2 = 5$. Now $\phi_2 \colon G \rightarrow A(\mathfrak{X}_2)=S_5$. Since any two Sylow $2$-subgroups of $G$ are conjugate, we have $|\text{im}(\phi_2)| \geq n_2 = 5$. (Write $\mathfrak{X}_2 = \{ X_1, X_2, \cdots, X_5 \}$. Then there exists $\sigma_j \in \text{im}(\phi_2)$ sending $X_1$ to $X_j$, $j=1, \cdots, 5$.)
Observe that $$ \frac{|G|}{|\ker \phi_2 |} = |\text{im}(\phi_2) | \geq 5$$
Thus $\ker \phi_2$ is trivial. That is, $G$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of $S_5$. Recall that the only subgroup of $S_5$ of index $2$ is $A_5$, so $G \cong A_5$. Note that $A_5$ has a subgroup of order $12$, namely, $A_4$.

Q: Determining when DST is in effect I've recently come across a problem...
Lets say I have some Javascript like this, for example:
var timezone = -(new Date()).getTimezoneOffset() / 60; // Get the TZ offset

var local = [];
var gmt   = [];

for(var i = 0; i <= 23; i++) // Loop through each hour
{
    local.push(i);

    var time = (i + timezone);

    if(time == 24)
        time = 0;

    gmt.push(time);
}

This works perfectly while not in DST, but when DST comes around I have unexpected results such as this: (Local user is in GMT/DST)
> console.log(local);
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23]

> console.log(gmt);
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 0]

Where the two arrays should be the same.
How would I detect when Daylight Saving is in effect?

A: This function will help you in calculations using DST.
function dstOffset() {
    var dailyOffsets = [];
    for (var i = 0; i <= 366; i++) { // sample timezone offset over at least a year since daylight saving changes are repeated each year.
        var sampleDay = new Date(); // today at whatever time
        sampleDay.setDate(i); // i days from the begining of this month (at the same time)
        dailyOffsets.push(sampleDay.getTimezoneOffset());
    }
    return Math.min.apply(null, dailyOffsets);
}
alert(dstOffset() + " minutes");

A: This is what I ended up getting, detects the last Sunday of March and then last Sunday of October and checks if we're currently within those days. Thanks for your comments and answers, everyone.
Feel free to edit and give me suggestions/improvements for it. I have a feeling this isn't the best way to do it.
function is_bst()
{
    var date    = new Date();
    var march   = null;
    var october = null;

    for(var i = 7; i != 0; i--)
    {
        var day = new Date(date.getFullYear(), 2, i);

        if(day.getDay() == 0)
        {
            march = day;
            break;
        }
    }

    for(var i = 7; i != 0; i--)
    {
        var day = new Date(date.getFullYear(), 9, i);

        if(day.getDay() == 0)
        {
            october = day;
            break;
        }
    }

    return !(date < march || date > october);
}

Krleža at Villa Zlatica!
It was exactly one hundred years ago, in 1922, that Croatian novelist, playwright and poet Miroslav Krleža wrote the second part of his Glembay trilogy – In agony. The wounds of World War I had not yet healed and the old social orders were crumbling. A hundred years later we find ourselves in a similar predicament: fundamental social structures are changing irreversibly as age-old existential questions remain equally relevant.

Q: Ionic 4, Angular 7 reading in a local file I am trying to import or read in a local file in the latest Ionic 4, Angular 7.
I have tried both importing and using http.get (ionic-native) without success

this.http.get('assets/createdb1', {}, {}).then((response) => {
console.log(response.status);
console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data)); });

When I run it I receive the following error:

There was an error with the request: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: assets/createdb1

On the http.get I have tried file://assets/createdb1  and got a similar error.
I also tried importing it into my list.page.ts file
 import createdbsql from 'assets/createdb1';

and received

error TS2307: Cannot find module 'assets/createdb1'

I tried '../assets/createdb1'  and '../../assets/createdb1' and received the same error.
Any ideas on the correct way to import the file ?

Musician Interview: Nicole Schneit of Air Waves!
March 19, 2013 June 3, 2013 / threestops
Please read below for an interview with Nicole of Air Waves. For more info about Air Waves, please check out: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Air-Waves/50591783797
When did you first realize you wanted to be a musician? What was that process like?
When I was 14 I saw a sign at the record shop I frequented, that said "guitar lessons by Eugene." I asked my mom if I could take guitar and she said yes. Before that I had been writing a lot and wanted to make the words I was writing into songs. Still to this day, I can't really read music but use my little ears to figure it out. Playing and performing has always felt like the most natural part of my existence
What is the creative process like for you? How are you inspired?
I'm inspired by people and the lives around me. There's so much going on in NYC, every subway car, every street there's all these stories. I was just talking to a friend of mine about how in every single subway car on every day, there's something weird happening. Whether it's a dude picking his nose or eye contact made with a stranger. My songs are sometimes made up stories about people I see. For this album coming up, the songs were written as a group mostly. I used to always write the songs in my room and then bring them to the band. I still write the lyrics but am definitely open to having the guys add their own. We also got some help from JB Townsend from Crystal Stilts and some backing vocals from Jana Hunter.
How is your music feminist? In what ways is your work gendered (i.e., affected by norms connected to femininity and/or masculinity?)
Honestly, I'm not sure my music is feminist. I don't write about being a lady or politics. But I do consider myself a feminist, so maybe there's a hidden reflection there. I'm openly out as gay and my relationship songs are in reference to women, so I hope they are empowering in that sense. I also don't think I necessarily fit into the stereotypes of the ideal woman, mostly in regards to my fashion, if ya know what I mean. You won't see me in stilettos anytime soon.
A friend and I were recently lamenting the lack of attention in the commercial press to female artists making indie rock (and especially rock more generally). What do you make of that lack of press? Has there been progress?
I think the lack of press on female musicians is largely in part due to the lack of female writers on music. But also there's just more men making music. It's like that in all fields of life though. Women also get compared to like the same 5 other women musicians all the time. That infuriates me the most. Does she sound like Cat power or PJ Harvey?!!!!?!
It's a dudes world out there. I've tried pretty damn hard to find women to play music with and it's more difficult than you would think. When we play shows with women in the bands, it's a wonderful feeling. I play with wonderful men in my band and never felt like oh shit I'm a girl, I'm inferior. They are my best friends for sure. That only happens when I enter guitar center and the guy asks if I'm looking for a starter kit. No joke this happened.
Unfortunately, no I haven't seen any progress in the press. I've actually seen it get a little worse, because there are trends where making fun of women is deemed as cool. That needs to stop.
Airwaves' music has been described as ranging from pop to punk. How would you describe your style?
I like to dance and feel happy, so I want my music to evoke the same feeling. My biggest influences right now are Cocteau Twins, The Clean, Velvet Underground, and Suicide. I'm not sure what genre we are in. People may be surprised by the new album and how full sounding it is. I wanted it to sound fuller, without it sounding over produced. There's definitely going to be more pop and punk than the previous ones.
What feedback do you have for aspiring musicians?
Ha, for aspiring musicians I say don't expect to make any money from this! It's definitely a labor of love. But I encourage musicians to stick with the music they love making and to ignore trends. Bands that ignore trends last the longest and if you get a bad review now from press in 20 years your record might be considered the best thing that ever happened. Also if you want to make a buck or two make a shit ton of merchandise. Shirts, totes, buttons….
What future projects are you planning?
We are working hard on the new record. I'm really excited for it, it's the most time and energy I've put into a project. So that is the new project, and I'm super proud of it.
