MARSHEAUX, DJ RUSTY EGAN + FOTONOVELA at TEC002
May 8, 2012 / electricityclub / Comments Off on MARSHEAUX, DJ RUSTY EGAN + FOTONOVELA at TEC002
TEC002 with MARSHEAUX, FOTONOVELA and guest DJ RUSTY EGAN was a big success. The evening began with FOTONOVELA, that is Geroge Geranios and Nick Bitzenis aka NIKONN who are also MARSHEAUX's additional live musicians.
They performed a DJ set of synth hits sweetened with Ableton Live including 'Blue Monday', 'Love is a Stranger', 'Sometimes' and 'Situation'.
They all held a high tempo through the set and managed to really capture the crowd when they skillfully interlaced elements from the different songs with new rhythms and sounds into a kind of mixcollage. It was wonderful to see the infectious enthusiasm that George and Nick possess. Much of what they did was to time in loops and sound sequences into the mix, but this must be done accurately and with great attention to timing. I was very impressed with how well they got everything to flow together into one unit.
RUSTY EGAN followed shortly afterwards and began with a short presentation of his long career, how he caught the eye and ear for electronic music during the late 70s and early 80s by KRAFTWERK, GARY NUMAN, JOHN FOXX, ULTRAVOX, DEPECHE MODE etc and how he began at The Blitz and with VISAGE.
He went on to celebrate the European electronic music tradition and how much he hated many kinds of typical American music to the cheers of the audience. Then he started his DJ set that focused more on newer music, but began with KRAFTWERK's 'Spacelab' and via a mostly instrumental musical trip, ending with a great remix of VISAGE's 'Fade to Grey'.
Then the highlight of the evening: MARSHEAUX! They played for 75 wonderful minutes and mixed hits from the first three albums, with emphasis on the last album 'Lumineux Noir' but including 'Computer Love', 'Hanging On', 'Dream of a Disco', 'Summer', 'Breakthrough', 'Exit', 'Radial Emotion', 'Stand By' and 'So Far' with three new songs from the upcoming album 'Inhale' to be released in July. The new songs 'Self Control', 'Inhale' and 'Come On Now' were all very well received by audience, especially the latter.
About halfway into the show, RUSTY EGAN sneaked up on stage and sat down on a chair behind one of the speakers. He really looked liked he was enjoying the music. In the encore which was a reprise of 'Come On Now', Mr Egan became MARSHEAUX's fifth live member, when he spontaneously (?) took on the role as drummer. Epic in every sense of the word, an astonished Marianthi looked round to see where all the extra percussion was coming from!!
Equally wonderful was when the whole audience joined in singing to the superb cover of THE HUMAN LEAGUE's old classic 'Empire State Human'. MARSHEAUX had no background video this time, but managed to carry the concert on their own without any problems. Both Marianthi and Sophie seemed to enjoy themselves as much as I and the rest of the crowd. I have been to their concerts three times now and I have to say this was probably the best so far: the concert venue was just the right size, the audience enthusiastic and the whole evening was well organised with no glitches to speak of, apart from some minor feedback issues in the speakers.
Worth mentioning and exclusive to this gig, there was also a compilation CD for sale called 'The E-bay Queen Is Dead'. It features no less than 14 hard-to-get MARSHEAUX songs, most of which are previously unreleased on CD. A must for every collector!
Also watching from the audience on this wonderful night of electro was DUBSTAR's Sarah Blackwood who was taking a break from recording the band's first new album in 12 years to be at TEC002. All-in-all, this was a night to remember and I for one am already looking forward to the next gig with MARSHEAUX.
The Electricity Club gives its thanks and appreciation to MARSHEAUX, RUSTY EGAN and FOTONOVELA

Q: How to compute the maximum between an array and a number element by element? I have a numpy array and I would like to have the maximum between each value and 0.
array([  7.1788812 ,   7.16842748,   7.1601692 ,   7.16941517,
   -30.89416777, -30.89403639, -30.89971925, -30.89529326,
   -31.59193447, -31.59202963])

Wanted result:
array([ 7.1788812 ,   7.16842748,   7.1601692 ,   7.16941517,0,0,0,0,0,0])

There are different ways to obtain the result but I would like something of short and very pythonic

A: np.maximum computes the element-wise maximum of array elements, and numpy has some broadcasting rules ( see here ); so you can try this:
np.maximum(x, 0)

A: You can also use numpy.clip:
import numpy as np
a = np.array([  7.1788812 ,   7.16842748,   7.1601692 ,   7.16941517,
   -30.89416777, -30.89403639, -30.89971925, -30.89529326,
   -31.59193447, -31.59202963])
np.clip(a, 0, np.inf)

A: np.where(a>= 0, a, 0)

numpy.where seems like what you're looking for. Gives 0 if the conditional is false.

A: newArray = array([max(x,0) for x in OriginalArray])

Andean Music, the Music of the Incas
The Incas used one word "taqui" to describe dance, music and singing, though this word in Quechua means "song". They did not differentiate among the three, they were strictly interconnected. Their music was pentatonic, based in the combination of five notes: re, fa, sol, la and do. Music reached through all the corners of the empire, social classes and activities. There were countless songs, tunes and dances which were related to most human activities and were represented by gestures, moves and costumes.

U.S. Sanctions on Cuba Are Human Rights Abuse
Kim Myong Chol, international affairs analyst, issued the following article Wednesday:
The U.S. persists in its hostile moves against Cuba.
The U.S. has announced that it would impose sanctions on major organizations and personages in Cuba, citing "coercive repression" and "human rights abuse" as pretexts, after its plan to overturn Cuba through "coloring revolution" had ended in a fiasco.
The U.S. chief executive even bluffed applying more sanctions unless there comes a "crucial change" in Cuba.
In the meantime, the U.S. is touting the "examination of the remittance policy for supporting Cuban nationals" and "provision of services through consulate".
This is designed to create displeasure with the government and illusion about the U.S. among the Cuban people and thus spark off social chaos. It is also aimed to paralyze the state administration and thus undermine the economy and people's living in the country.
The U.S. sanctions are never meant to respect and defend the rights of the Cuban people.
They are thoroughly oriented to destroying the sovereignty, right to existence and right to development of the Cuban people as it has been proven by the contents of the anti-Cuba sanctions that have persisted for the past over 60 years.
The U.S., regarding the Cuban revolution as a thorn in the flesh, made up all sorts of legal and institutional mechanisms harmful to the economic development and people's livelihood in Cuba. This has caused over 1 trillion U.S. dollars of huge economic damage.
It has imposed over 240 sanctions only when counting from 2017 in particular, typically the suspension of oil supply and application of additional sanctions on organizations responsible for supplying daily necessities.
The U.S. embargo getting harsher and harsher threatening the economic foundation of Cuba and its public health system under the worldwide public health crisis clearly points to the hypocrisy and deception of rhetoric about "defence of human rights" touted by the U.S. authorities.
To encroach upon the sovereignty and independence of other countries and impose economic blockade on them is a wanton violation of the principles of the universally accepted international law such as respect for sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs stipulated in the U.N. Charter and various international documents.
The UN General Assembly has adopted resolutions on withdrawing the U.S. anti-Cuba blockade with majority votes, 29 of them up to this year since 1992.
The U.S. anti-Cuba sanctions in contravention of international law and the unanimous will of the world is clearly a human rights abuse and crime.
The U.S. criminal racket of imposing sanctions on Cuba must be terminated immediately.

Vermonters prepare for Retail Cannabis Shops to open this Fall
Posted September 2, 2022 on NBC 5
The Cannabis Control Board will be reviewing its first retail applications next week
SHELDON - The Lanza Family has been focused on growing a lot of green crops on their parcel of land, tucked away in Sheldon, Vermont.
"We've been growing hemp here going on three years now, going on four. Now we're also licensed for adult use cannabis," Jane Lanza said.
Jane and Ben Lanza, who own the Family Tree Cannabis Co. and Family Tree Hemp Co., are thrilled to have received their cannabis manufacturing license from Vermont's Cannabis Control Board just in time to get their products ready to sell in retail stores when they begin to open this fall.
"We are going to have our indoor flower ready to go to stores when they're ready to open as well as our pre-rolls and some of our chemical-free concentrate and then, when this crop is dried out in the middle of November, we'll also have sun-grown products out there on the shelves," Jane Lanza said.
The Lanza's are among the hundreds of Vermonters who are jumping into the growing cannabis industry alongside people like Joe Verga, who hopes to get the green light to turn his CBD business into a retail cannabis shop in the heart of downtown Burlington.
"I've been patient, but I'm very eager. We need to get going," said Verga, owner of Green Leaf Central.
He's anxious to have a taxed and regulated cannabis market in the Green Mountain State where he thinks the industry will thrive once people start to open up shop.
"We have the best ice cream (and) the best maple syrup. Why not give them the best marijuana?" he asked.
James Pepper, chair of the Cannabis Control Board, said board members will be reviewing the first retail cannabis applications at a meeting next week.
"The numbers we're seeing really project a healthy start to this market," said Pepper.
But he wants to remind Vermonters that when shops open, they should have realistic expectations.
"Early supply is not going to meet the demand. I think people really need to kind of understand that it's going to take a little while for cultivators to harvest and get their products tested and manufactured and packaged and into the retail stores," Pepper said.
That's where manufacturers, like the Family Tree Cannabis Co., come in.
"It's been a lot of hard work and a lot of triumph," Jane Lanza said.
They're ready to keep expanding their business as Vermont's cannabis industry continues to grow.
"In the second or third year of the adult place market here in Vermont, we'd like to have our own shop in Sheldon out on Route 105 and create agritourism experiences for people," Jane Lanza said.
She said it's an opportunity to generate a lot of economic growth from their beloved cannabis crop.

Andrew Garfield Reportedly Caused Batkid's Cut From Oscars
Amanda Crum
Andrew Garfield reportedly didn't like the lines he was supposed to give during an Oscars presentation featuring "Batkid" and refused to appear onstage, leaving producers in a lurch.
The "Spiderman" star was slated to present with Miles Scott–the 5-year old cancer patient who was dubbed "Batkid" after a Make-A-Wish Foundation event that went viral last year–at the Academy Awards, but didn't approve of the lines he was given and wanted to create his own. When he wasn't allowed to do so, according to The New York Post, he refused to appear at the awards show.
"The academy was going to make him an official superhero during the Oscar ceremony. Andrew Garfield was going to appoint him 'Batkid.' But, in the middle of the dress rehearsal, Garfield decided he didn't like his lines," said a source. "Garfield refused to go by the script. He came up with his own lines. The producers felt that Garfield's [rewrites] were not appropriate. Garfield had a tantrum. He stormed off. Miles and his family, who were at the rehearsal, were devastated."
Miles got to see his dream come true last fall when San Francisco was turned into Gotham City just for him and residents turned out for a parade while he was dressed as his favorite superhero. And while this "source" says he was disappointed to be cut from the Oscars presentation–producers brought in "Captain America" star Chris Evans instead–he and his family were sent to Disneyland, which must have eased the disappointment at least a bit.
Garfield has had no comment on the allegations so far.

Amber Alert Sends Fear Into Community After Woman Found Dead


Walt Disney Co is seeing paid subscribers of its sports video streaming service ESPN+ likely to be reaching between 8 million and 12 million by the end of the fiscal 2024 year, shared the company on Thursday.
Disney disclosed its forecast, of paid subscription to be significantly increased in next few years, in a streaming video strategy presentation to Wall Street.
Christine McCarthy, Disney's chief financial officer, said during that webcast presentation on investor day that annual operating losses that ESPN+ will be making in both fiscal 2019 and 2020 are expected to be $650 million, but, the one-year-old service will is likely to be start making profits by 2023.
Patrice Cucinello, a director at Fitch Ratings, took the Disney's stance positively and acknowledged the company's need to show the subscription growth to confirm the investment. He said that Disney has been publicizing their guidance related to the number of subscribers to the market and has been directly targeting the consumers.
In the midst of a rising cord cutting trend, resulting in cable and traditional media companies losing business to the digital streaming services like Netflix Inc, Disney is establishing new businesses of streaming video which will directly capture the consumers.
A year ago, Disney came on launching ESPN+ in a bid to try out monthly or annual subscription offering of its streaming services and distribution of additional sports contents directly to consumers. And since its inception, ESPN+ succeeded to draw million of subscribers, made sports right agreements and experience rising popularity of its mo bile app.
Besides the sports content, Disney is also focusing on a larger plan of moving ahead with Disney+ with slate of its new and classic blockbuster movies.
Currently, ESPN+ is holding over 2 million paying sports fans, according to Disney, which are roughly the same as disclosed by the company in February.

Yeung Tong-Lung's Paintings Offer More Than Just Their Subjects
Christie Lee March 12, 2019
It's hard to pinpoint when exactly Yeung Tong-lung wanted to become an artist. Could it perhaps be when he was four, when he watched his dad make a few sketches on his huge desk and decided to start doodling himself? Or was it when he nabbed a coveted position in one of Hong Kong's many art factories in the 1970s?
Chatting with the artist, one would think that he just stumbled into art as a career. Yet he is one of Hong Kong's most dedicated painters, paying no mind to new artistic mediums or the various art trends that have surfaced over the last four decades. "I've accepted that there are limitations to life, even if society would tell you otherwise," he says. "I mean, if life is full of possibilities, our society would have vastly improved, but has it really? I don't think so. I set certain boundaries for myself, but I also see these rules as a challenge. I'm constantly trying to beat them."

Yeung is sitting inside the Foo Tak Building's ACO art space, where his solo show, Cuts in Synchronicity, is open until 31 March 2019. Does his show have anything to do with Carl Jung's concept of synchronicity, which describes two or more events that appear to have no relationship to each other, but together form a detectable pattern?
"About the title…" he begins, shaking his head and then smiling. "I think I need to mull a bit more over it. The word [synchronicity] means something very specific in academia, but I'm not sure…"
Further questioning yields little result, but the clue to Yeung's creative process also lies in the art itself. Featuring seven large-scale paintings and a few smaller ones, the ACO show is distinctly Hong Kong, with one painting featuring a sampan, and another the Star Ferry. And yet something is also askew. The people, backdrop and objects are familiar; yet when they are put together, the composition becomes slightly surreal, like two puzzle pieces that fit together, but don't match.

Born in Fujian in 1956, Yeung began drawing at an early age, taking inspiration from whatever was in his line of vision. It could be home trinkets or sailors returning home from sea. "I loved their blue and white uniforms. They looked very smart," he recalls. The Cultural Revolution put an end to the family's carefree days. As Maoist fervour swept through China from 1966 to 1976, destroying anything seen as traditional or bourgeois, Yeung had to hide his creative ambitions. "We had to give up a lot of materialistic goods," he says. "I had no drawing pads, so I started drawing on posters, and any scraps of paper I could find."
In response to the instability, Yeung's dad moved the family to Hong Kong in 1973, when Yeung was 17. He still speaks Cantonese with a slight Fujianese accent. As he speaks, he has a pen and paper at the ready, and whenever he lost confidence in his ability to pronounce certain words properly, he writes them down with meticulous care, just to make sure he is perfectly understood.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Yeung capitalised on the city's burgeoning toy industry and snagged a position as a product designer. He called it quits after four years — "I got bored," he notes nonchalantly — and got a position as a painter in one of Hong Kong's many bulk art manufacturers, which created generic art for hotels, offices and restaurants all over the world. While the job didn't call for creativity, it allowed him to earn some quick money. "I'd do 20 — sometimes 30 — eight-by-ten inch paintings every day," he recalls. "It was around HK$10 per painting. I was making HK$7,000 every month. A job at the bank would pay around HK$4,000 every month. This was back in the 1970s – it was very good pay!"
Many might have considered that a dream job, but Yeung quit after four years. "I guess I didn't feel like I was going anywhere," he says. Soon after, he embarked on a full-time career as an artist. "I don't think I realised I was making art back them. I was only painting," he says.
Does he consider himself an artist now? "I think I'm making art," he says, but then seems to reconsider his answer. "But 'an artist' is just a label that society gives you, isn't it?"
As a self-taught artist, Yeung quietly occupies a respectable place in the Hong Kong art scene. You would be hard-pressed to find his work in a blue-chip gallery, but when you do see it at a venue like the Hong Kong Art Centre or ACO, its off-kilter perspectives give you pause.
"Actually, an art professor would find a lot of fault with my paintings," says Yeung. He walks towards a painting of an old man lying on a red chair, his eyes directed either upwards or out of the frame, depending on where the viewer is standing. "I think he'd say that I didn't draw the chair properly, the tiles are all smudged here, the proportion isn't right, and the perspective is all wrong." He chuckles quietly.

But Yeung feels his approach, however unconventional, is more true to life. "In order to have a so-called correct perspective, you need to view the thing from every angle possible – basically you need to be omnipresent," he says. "But real life isn't like that. The perspective shifts when you shift. Everyone has a different perspective."
He gestures towards a painting of a shop interior stuffed to the brim with stuff: figurines, beer cans, lamp shades, a camera, a traffic cone, photographs. "This is quite an interesting shop down my place. It's basically a mini museum," he says excitedly. Everything in the painting is rendered in black and white, except for two figures: a man, who appears to be peering out at the viewer, and a woman who is sitting on a stool.
Yeung says he was thinking about whether there were any black and white paintings before the era of photography. "Before that, there was no reason for paintings to be in black and white – our eyes can see colours!" he exclaims.
Colours, perspectives, proportions: these are the basic elements tying together all of Yeung's paintings. It isn't about the people nor the landscape – it's the act of painting, and through that, the act of depicting life. "I'm not trying to tell any stories about anybody. I just want to talk about painting," he says firmly. "Painting is an ancient art, so it's got a very well-developed language. There are a lot of rules, but if you treat these rules as a challenge, then there are a lot of things you can play with."
He then offers another insight. "At the end of the day, what is art about?" he asks. "It's about breaking rules. It's also how I see life, I suppose. What is an ideal society? For the Chinese government, it's stability, but does that alone make an ideal society? In reality, it obviously doesn't. Art makes us realise this."
Cuts in Synchronicity, a 2018 retrospective exhibition of Yeung, lasts until 31 March 2019 in ACO Art Space. The exhibition will be companioned by a closing gathering two days before it ends. More information is available here.

Homeless shelters on lockdown to minimize COVID-19 spread
As many members of the public are urged to stay home, those with no home to go to have few options. Here is the American Rescue Workers men's shelter on Elmira Street. Photo by ANNE REINER
As many members of the public are urged to stay home, those with no home to go to have few options. But many of Williamsport's shelters have their own stay-at-home policy to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
American Rescue Workers' family shelter and men's shelter have both been closed to new entrants and those who currently live there are restricted from leaving, according to Cleveland Way, director of the ARW shelters.
"We are trying to minimize the risk, at best," Way said. "If somebody gets sick and brings it back in, we're in trouble."
The risk is substantial and, Way added, there is no backup plan.
If cases start popping up in either shelter – among the participants or staff – the shelter would be forced to close and everyone inside would be out on the street.
"We're not looking past tomorrow. We have projections. We're trying not to go too far out, because that gets a little scary," Way said.
Those in the shelter who have jobs may leave for work and others to pick up medication, Way said, but any other trips, such as to go to a store or for a walk or run, must be approved.
"Our quarantine area is set up for six people. Outside of that, we have no idea. We don't have a back-up plan," Way said.
Saving Grace, on Campbell Street, is a 30-day shelter for families or single men and women, and the men's shelter, on Elmira Street, is an eight- to nine-month program for men. Saving Grace has two-person cubicles, while the men's shelter is a single room with a row of beds, each three feet apart.
As the pandemic gathered speed in the United States, homeless shelters were caught unprepared, suddenly realizing the lack of supplies and the tight living quarters could be catastrophic.
As businesses suddenly began closing and positive cases spread throughout the state and county, the shelter leadership realized they needed to take drastic steps to limit an outbreak within the shelter.
At first a voluntary ban on travel outside the shelters, it is now a requirement for all of the residents.
"Those that are here are staying here." he said.
There are exceptions for trips to the store or requests to go for a walk or a run, but Way said these are granted on a case-by-case basis and require a certain amount of trust with each individual.
The real issue is supplies, he admits. When the cases began to rise and quarantine became necessary, the shelter had very few masks, hygiene supplies, sanitizer and gloves. Even now, some items have been donated but the shelter is running low while still working with limited staff.
Many at the shelter don't have an income and therefore have very little money for food, not to mention cleaning and personal hygiene items.
"If it isn't given to them, they would go without," Way said. "Hygiene is a major part of combatting this virus."
If any residents of the shelters do get sick there is a quarantine area reserved at the American Rescue Workers church; however, it can only house six people.
The ARW social services center is still available to hand out food, even as numbers continue to rise: however, financial assistance has been suspended, Way said.
"We are doing what we can to give somebody a bed," Way said. "And we're trying to make ends meet so they can keep their bed."

Max Morell (* 3. Mai 1916 in Arbon als Max Reck; † 6. August 1994 in Winterthur) war ein Schweizer Schriftsteller, vor allem von Kriminalromanen. Er schrieb, bis er dreissigjährig war, vor allem unter dem Pseudonym Max Morell. Auch weil er heiraten wollte, übernahm er 1946 sein Pseudonym als bürgerlichen Namen. Er heiratete Anita, geb. Balzer, im Juli 1948 und bekam mit ihr 1960 eine Tochter.

Leben
Max Morell (damals noch Max "Reck") begann zunächst eine Lehre als Rechtsagent bei einem Rechtsanwalt, wurde dann jedoch Kaufmann. Später studierte er in Paris. Nach seiner Rückkehr in die Schweiz arbeitete er als Assistent und Reklameberater eines Naturarztes. Ab 1939 wurde er Soldat und betätigte sich im Heimaturlaub als Werbetexter und Reklameberater. In diesem Jahr veröffentlichte er, noch als Fred Morell, seinen ersten Kriminalroman (Das Phantom von London). Nach dem Krieg wurde er Journalist, dann Redaktor – um letztlich zur Schriftstellerei zurückzukehren. Erst in den Siebzigerjahren wurde er wieder Redakteur im Verlag Meier, Schaffhausen.

Werk
Die Figur des Detektivs Paul Vanel zieht sich durch alle seine Kriminalromane. Vanel war ein schweizerischer Meisterdetektiv mit bewegter Vergangenheit, der autobiografische Züge des Autors trug. Die Fälle spielten dabei nicht nur in der Schweiz, sondern in aller Welt – selbst in entlegenen Teilen wie Mauritius. In den späteren Büchern entwickelte sich Vanel und war letztlich Leiter einer Agentur für internationale Ermittlungen in Hongkong. Mit seinem letzten Buch Finale in Bangkok lässt der Autor auch die Geschichte um seinen Detektiv enden.

Max Morell schrieb insgesamt 21 Bücher und 15 Heftromane. Die Heftromanserie Chez Morell handelte ebenfalls von seinem Detektiv. In der Serie erschienen jedoch auch einige der Science Fiction zuzuordnende Hefte – ein Genre, das in seinen Büchern völlig fehlt.

MEET TINA
Tina Spears has spent the last decade advocating for people with disabilities, and now she's running to be the next state representative in District 36. Tina is known for defending Medicaid benefits, winning wage increases for caregivers, and helping win paid leave for thousands of families.
Tina has lived in Charlestown for nearly 30 years. She attended our public schools and her kids do too. Supportive mentors helped Tina become the first in her family to attend college, and she earned two degrees from URI while working full-time to pay her way. Tina wants to build an economy that offers jobs, affordable housing and an environment that can sustain us, so that Rhode Islanders can thrive in Rhode Island for generations to come.

Dear Neighbor,
Determination and community. When I think about what sets Rhode Island apart, I think of those words. There have been tough times that tested me, but my community gave me strength and a chance at a better life. I've learned that determination and community can change your future.
That's why I'm running for State Representative for District 36 -- because our families deserve a brighter future. Charlestown, South Kingstown, Westerly and Block Island need a strong voice at the State House who understands the challenges families face, and who will stand up for us. I'd like to introduce myself and invite you to help win a stronger voice for our communities.
I learned determination at a young age in a household with caring, but also the challenges of substance abuse and violence. When the bank foreclosed on our house, we moved to Charlestown – and I found a community that became home.
Hard work and generous mentors made a huge difference. At 12, I started cleaning houses after school. I worked at Smith's Florist in Westerly, the Point Judith Country Club and many other jobs. I wasn't great at tests, but my teachers saw my spunk and encouraged me. When I saw an opportunity, I reached for it.
I joined Future Farmers of America (FFA) in high school, and it gave me focus. My love for the outdoors blossomed, and I met my husband, Frost, at CHARIHO Tech's agriculture program. I liked being on a team, and senior year we brought home the volleyball championship. My teachers helped me see college as a path forward, so I applied to be Washington County Fair Queen and won a tiara and scholarship money I desperately needed.
I worked full-time to pay for college – as a landscaper, custodian, and retail clerk. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a bachelor's degree in Ornamental Horticulture and Turfgrass Management, the first person in my family to earn a degree. Educational opportunities and my teachers' belief in me changed my life, so you know I will fight for strong public schools and pathways to good jobs.
Frost and I married in 1998 after he returned from the police academy, and a year later, we bought our first house in Charlestown. We love the natural beauty of southern Rhode Island – from endless hiking trails, freshwater ponds, like Watchaug and School House, to the wildlife preserve at Ninigret Park. We are truly blessed to spend family summers fishing, boating, quahogging and crabbing together.
In 2000 our son Taquonck was born, and every parent's worst nightmare became real. He suffered a brain injury at birth, and we learned he would face significant challenges due to his disability. We struggled as new parents, but we needed to be strong for our beautiful son. I left my job so I could learn to care for him, and a network of organizations and families facing similar challenges rallied around us.
When Taquonck started kindergarten, I got a part-time job at an agency that supported us: the Rhode Island Parent Information Network. I wanted to help families through their toughest times, as others had helped me. I helped parents navigate their child's medical needs and stand up to insurance companies. Soon, I was at the State House, telling lawmakers that the state needed to step up for our kids.
When he was 11, Taquonck passed away. We were devastated. His life solidified my commitment to fight for what is right. I learned that even if you are fiercely independent, we all depend on care from other people.
In 2013 I helped win support for caregivers through landmark Temporary Caregivers Insurance legislation. This law now gives Rhode Islanders paid leave when they need to care for a child or a family member who is seriously ill. Our communities deserve a representative who will work with lawmakers to create real solutions for families like yours and mine.
Winning TCI support for Rhode Islanders opened my eyes to the impact policy can have. I knew this work would be the rest of my career, so in 2018 I got a Master's in Public Administration from URI. I became the Executive Director of the Community Provider Network of RI, representing providers who support people with disabilities. Every day I see how broken our healthcare system is and how that sets seniors, kids, and hard-working families back. Every day I fight for the people who need us most.
During these years, Frost and I had two more wonderful sons, River (15) and Ahanu (12). Anyone who has teenagers knows that each day brings a new adventure and sometimes another gray hair. My kids attend local public schools, just as my husband and I did, and our parents before us. My boys were the third generation to attend Charlestown Elementary School. Our teachers work hard, but our schools aren't getting their fair share of state resources, creating an unfair tax burden for local towns. As your State Representative, I will fight for our fair share of state funding for our schools.
In the summer, we reel in black sea bass, chase tuna at the gully, and take our boat to Block Island. Every year we see the storms increase, shorelines erode, and seas rise. Climate change threatens our communities and our fishing industry, and as your state representative I will work to ensure that the landmark Act on Climate legislation is fully implemented. I will stand up for our environment and to protect our communities from climate change.
Like most parents, I'd love for my sons to raise their families nearby. But if Rhode Island can't create higher paying jobs and more affordable housing, I don't know if they will. And it isn't just young people. I'm grateful that my father-in-law lives on his own just up the street, but I worry that too many neighbors won't be able to age in their homes without investments in transportation and support services. We need to build a strong economy that allows all Rhode Islanders to thrive in Rhode Island.
Rhode Island is a wonderful state, and its southern communities are special jewels. When the people at the State House make decisions, they shouldn't just listen to the lobbyists, the corporations, and the big developers. They should know how policy impacts our villages, our small businesses, our beaches, our forests and our daily lives.
I am running for State Representative because we deserve an advocate who will fight for a better future. I will bring people together to fight for our priorities – strong schools, good jobs, affordable housing, and an environment that can sustain us. I will be a voice for integrity – standing up for what I believe in -- and for honest, transparent government. I will put partisan politics aside.
There is a lot at stake in this election. We have a chance to send a strong advocate to the State House who knows the needs of working families and will stand up for our seniors. I'd love to talk with you about your ideas for our state. I'll be knocking on doors in every town in the district, and I look forward to meeting you! Or you can reach me at Tina@TinaSpearsRI.com or 401-329-6644.
I respectfully ask for your support in the primary election on September 13th. And mark your calendars for November 8th because I plan to ask for your vote in the general election, too.

Vanadium (5 at. %) doped Indium Oxide (V: In 2 O 3 ) thin films with different thicknesses (50 nm, 100 nm and 150 nm) were prepared onto glass substrate by electron beam evaporation technique in a vacuum of about 4×10 -3 Pa. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern revealed that the prepared films of thickness 50 nm are amorphous in nature. Temperature dependence of electrical resistivity was studied in the 300 < T < 475 K temperature range. The films exhibit a metallic behavior in the 300 < T < 380 K more » ... nge with a positive temperature coefficient of the resistivity (TCR), whereas at T > 380 K, the conduction behavior turns into a semiconductor with a negative TCR. Optical studies revealed that the films of thickness 50 nm possess high transmittance of about 86 % in the near-infrared spectral region. The direct optical band gap lies between 3.26 and 3.00 eV depending on the film thickness.

Cool Gray City of Love: Literary San Francisco
An island kingdom of splendid golden riches. A muddy, anything-goes boomtown. A city of foggy back alleys where trouble broods. In fiction and not too far off in fact, San Francisco has been all these and more. Writers from Frank Norris to Dashiell Hammett to Rebecca Solnit have captured facets of this city of ephemeral beauty and profound contradictions, a place as changeable as the sea and sky that surround it.
Portsmouth Square, San Francisco, in 1851
In this unique historical, literary and culinary overview of San Francisco, we'll explore how a cluster of wood and adobe buildings in a sheltered cove grew to become an economic powerhouse run on gold and silicon; a nexus of experimentation in literature, theatre and music; a centre of gay life and culture; and an oft-romanticized bastion of progressive politics. What forces have shaped San Francisco into the city it is today? Where is it headed as California, the world's sixth-largest economy, takes a bigger role on the world stage?
A view from Nob Hill/Aude on Wikimedia
As we consider these questions we'll first explore some of the city's oldest and most famed neighbourhoods, walking in the footsteps of Gold Rush miners, Barbary Coast sailors, entrepreneurial madams and railroad magnates. When our feet get tired, we'll climb aboard a cable car to enjoy the views of the bay from atop Nob Hill. We'll then head to Golden Gate Park and the de Young museum with its rich collection of American art, including important landscape paintings of California and the West. Finally, we'll trace the history and ongoing importance of San Francisco's LGBTQ community with a walking tour of the Castro neighbourhood.
Napa Valley vineyard/Aurimas on Flickr
San Francisco is one of the world's great restaurant towns, and as a group and on your own there will be opportunities to enjoy a dynamic dining scene where California's bounty takes a starring role. And of course, we won't neglect the fruit of the vine. We'll cross the Golden Gate Bridge to spend a relaxed day of wine tasting in the green hills of the Napa Valley, which has been producing wine since the 1830s.

SparseArray mapping longs to Objects. Unlike a normal array of Objects, there can be gaps in the indices. It is intended to be more memory efficient than using a HashMap to map Longs to Objects, both because it avoids auto-boxing keys and its data structure doesn't rely on an extra entry object for each mapping.
This method is deprecated. Alias for remove(long).
The keys corresponding to indices in ascending order are guaranteed to be in ascending order, e.g., keyAt(0) will return the smallest key and keyAt(size()-1) will return the largest key.
Copies all of the mappings from the other to this map. The effect of this call is equivalent to that of calling put(long, Object) on this map once for each mapping from key to value in other.
key long: The key under which to store the value.
key long: The key of the mapping to remove.
key long: The key of the mapping to replace.
The values corresponding to indices in ascending order are guaranteed to be associated with keys in ascending order, e.g., valueAt(0) will return the value associated with the smallest key and valueAt(size()-1) will return the value associated with the largest key.


The installation is not as easy as expected when connecting to my 3 broadband modem w/wifi and I have to call for installation service. Even the technician can't have it connected to internet with the mobile app but he made it finally. He connected it with a laptop and configured and I admired his service. I am quite disappointed with netgear's customer service that I cannot call for any instruction on installation assistance.
