Bill Maher is Dead Wrong About Rush Limbaugh
by Michael Wilcox on March 11, 2012
I was watching Bill Maher the other day, and he went onto his soapbox regarding Rush Limbaugh's First Amendment right to free speech. Maher believes that we shouldn't be attacking Limbaugh for the things he said. It occurred to me that Maher doesn't have a clue about what the First Amendment actually says. Well, here it is Billy boy:
This Amendment was made applicable to the states by the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment, but no matter how hard you look for it you will find no law being violated by a public reaction to Limbaugh's latest misogynistic rage. Limbaugh has spent a career attacking women. He has every right to do that, and people who disagree have every right to let the people who pay him know that they do not look kindly upon the companies that market their products by employing Rush. Consumers are free to express their opinions to sponsors like Auto Zone or Oreck Vacuum. Hell, that seems downright democratic to me!
So perhaps Maher and the Limbaugh apologists can tell me what the government has done to limit Limbaugh's right to speak freely? They seem concerned that consumers, outraged by Limbaugh's attack on Sandra Fluke, have expressed that disapproval to Limbaugh's sponsors, who in some cases, have dropped Limbaugh's show. In response, Limbaugh has taken the rarest of steps; he apologized for calling a woman he does not know; a third year law student at Georgetown a "slut" and a "prostitute" who should film her sexual exploits so that we could all watch them. The government has not ordered Limbaugh to go off the air. It has not done anything to Limbaugh or his employer to limit what this clown has said or will say. For the record, there has never been an absolute right to speak one's mind. You may be of the opinion that your employer is a narcissistic jerk and a cheapskate, and you may believe that you have a First Amendment right to express that feeling at the office picnic, but were you to do so you would probably be shocked to learn that the boss is free to can your ass. Your employer may not have the same false sense of the First Amendment which has gripped Bill Maher. It may come as little comfort to know that you cannot be punished by the government as you look for a job!
Mr. Maher, you know better. Rush Limbaugh's attack upon a college student is only protected from governmental infringement. Hell, I can write to his sponsors and demand that he be fired or I'll stop buying their widgets without impacting any protected interest. The First Amendment does not require me to buy Oreck vacuum cleaners, nor does it prevent me from notifying Limbaugh's employer that I think he is a misogynistic racist and a long-standing fool who offends me. The fact that I will refuse to support them by patronizing their products or services is, rather ironically, a form of capitalism that I suspect Limbaugh would approve of, at least in principle.
Here it is Rush. You have every right to call women names, and to demand that they surrender 100 years of social progress so that you can have some sense of order in the fantasy world you want to live in. That is your right. Conversely, I can tell your boss that I will never, ever buy a SleepNumber bed as long as they support your right to express your divisive and highly un-American thoughts.
So what is Maher talking about? I think I know. Mr. Maher is a comedian-entertainer, and in that regard he and Limbaugh are pretty much the same guy. Oh sure, Maher plays a liberal on TV, and is actually funny. Limbaugh works the other angle, and is lacking any recognizable comedic talent. But they aren't really all that different. Maher calls Santorum all sorts of names and openly ridicules him for his beliefs, and Limbaugh attacks women and minorities with alarming regularity. But both are basically just clowns who ultimately work for sponsors, who in turn work for me. Boycotts are scary things when you know that your employer may be skittish about losing viewers, listeners or sponsors, and you can bet that Bill Maher is as afraid of Limbaugh-bashing, as he is of the political world somehow righting itself.
Mr. Maher, Limbaugh's constitutional rights are not the issue, and you are a fraud for trying to frame the argument in that fashion.
Limbaugh has spent his entire career spouting hate. Limbaugh has said that "Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society". If you agree with that sentiment then continue to listen and support his sponsors. If, however, you disagree, then join me and write or make a call to Limbaugh's sponsors, some of whom are listed below….

Jill Taylor says:
I couldn't agree more and in fact, I tweeted Bill Mahar to say I disagreed with him. I think you nailed it – he's just the other side of the mean-spirited coin so feels some kinship.
Almost 20 years ago I was at a Rush Limbaugh TV show taping (my client dragged me to) and I didn't give him a standing ovation so he targeted me as a "Feminazi", "mean evil woman" and "typical media liberal" based on knowing nothing about me other than I was a Democrat, sitting in the media VIP section and could hold my own in our mini debate. He continued to rant about me for a week on his radio show. What I saw was a deeply unhappy, insecure and immature man who has to lash out to build himself up. Pathetic and sad… and time for him to finally go down.
Mike Wilcox says:
Thanks for the feedback. It is deeply troubling that he spews this nonsense and yet he's become something of an oracle for the right wing.
Paul O'Connor says:
Your boss will remind you she doesn't need the government to tell you that you don't have a right to express every thought. Rush doesn't have the right to say it, even as alleged "entertainment". The dicey issue on these facts is whether the criminalization of a defamatory statement is forbidden by the First Amendment. If it is not then hopefully FL violates him if he is still on probation. Hmmm I wonder why our police chief is waging a media campaign against bail, probation and parole? Is he afraid Rush might get locked up?
True enough Paul, I think there may be enough there to get by a Times v. Sullivan "public figure" defense based upon the "prostitute" remark.
What's the Big Deal? says:
Great article. You're so right about the first amendment. It drives me crazy that people think free speech means speech without repercussions. On another note though…is it really that big of a deal that he called her a slut? Seriously? Remember the old chestnut…"sticks and stones…" Get over it. If Rush publicly called me a slut, I wouldn't give a crap. I know I'm not a slut. I'd tell him he's fat. People are too sensitive.
Tim Farrell says:
Mike, as always I enjoyed your article about both sides of the same ass clown coin! The only point I disagree with you on is that Maher is funny. He's to funny what I am to Nutrisystem. Fuck them both!

The Temper Trap's Dougy Mandagi On The Legacy Of Their Breakthrough Hit & What's Next For The Band
Written by Riley Fitzgerald on June 24, 2019
There's an old saying that goes something like this, "Songs can often escape the intentions of those who make them." If you can accept such a statement, The Temper Trap's 'Sweet Disposition' is without question one such song. It's long past the point of being a Temper Trap song or even the Temper Trap song. After starting life as a modest Australian hit from a Melbourne outfit which had barely even played that many shows, it then snuck its way into the soundtrack of '500 Days of Summer' and from there exploded in the US charts.
That, of course, was more than a decade ago. In the past eleven years, it's led a life of its own, jumping into heads and hearts of untold thousands from radios, television commercials, festival stages, streaming playlists, as well as an inexpiably large number of dancefloor remixes.
In 2019 it's practically synonymous with the words 'indie anthem'. People have even gotten married to it, something Dougy Mandagi is still scratching his head about. "It's not even a love song!" he exclaims, and Mandagi should know. After all, he wrote the lyrics. 'Sweet Disposition' is public property but it doesn't seem to bother him all that much. The success it's bought Mandagi, has taken him places he wouldn't dreamt of travelling otherwise. Having received his fair share of the bargain, he's now resigned to the fact that every time The Temper Trap play, from here on out until eternity, he's going to have to perform the song. And when he does, he'll no doubt sing his lungs out every time.
Music Feeds: Some people say that songs can often escape the intentions of the people who create them. I think 'Sweet Disposition' might be a bit like that. Would you agree?
Dougy Mandagi: Totally, totally. I mean so many people have gotten married to that song and what not – it's not even a love song! But like you said it takes on a whole life of its own. People decipher the lyrics in their own way, and it speaks to them in its own way. So I'm happy for that. I'm glad that the song belongs to so many other people.
MF: Where was your head at, where were you at when you wrote those lyrics?
DM: Just young and excited and – I don't know. The words were just a reflection of what the music made me feel. We wrote the music the night before I went home and pinned down the lyrics. And I don't know, it just had this visceral kind of melancholic-but-also-kind-of-hopeful feeling. I guess the lyrics just followed accordingly to that.
MF: It's always reminded me a little of U2. Were U2 an influence?
DM: I guess so. I mean the influence there, for us, was probably more in terms of the fact that we were using delay pedals and in U2 The Edge is the most iconic delay pedal maestro… But that's probably as far as the influence goes. It's not that we were listening to U2 in particular when we wrote that song. Nothing was ever really too thought out back in those days, we just wrote what felt natural you know? All the licks and the dynamics of the song came naturally to us.
MF: An interesting part of the song's story – and this is tying back into what you've previously said about a lot of people seeing 'Sweet Disposition' as a love song – is that it somehow slipped its way into the soundtrack of a movie called '500 Days of Summer'…
DM: Mmmmhmmmmm.
MF: Have you ever watched it? Do you have an opinion about it?
DM: Yeah, man. We got a special world premiere. I took my mum as my date. It was good. Yeah, we got like, a special screening. [Laughs] Yeah, man. Listen, that movie really helped catapult us and that song into people's minds. By the time we left Melbourne for the first time to play all these dives and little showcases overseas people had already heard of us because of that movie so it was great. That movie did amazing things for us.
MF: Things happened fast for you. How do you look back on that whole period ten years on?
DM: How do I look back on it? I mean, I miss it, dude. I really miss it you know? It's kind of weird because if I could go back in time now having seen the things that I've seen I wonder if I would have as much fun. Going back to New York City for the 70th time is obviously not going to be as fun as going to New York City to play a gig in some crappy venue for the very first time you know what I mean?
I just kind of look back on those memories and I sort of wish I could go in a time capsule and go back. But I know that I would have a different experience if I did. So maybe it's just best left where it was. I can always tap into those moments in my mind. We had a lot of fun! We had so much fun. Everything was the first time. So yeah, it's kind of sad to think that we'll never feel that way again but we're very fortunate to have been able to experience that in our lives.
MF: I don't know about you but when I heard Conditions was turning 10 it freaked me out a little. I thought, "Heck! It's been 10 years already?! What have I been doing with my life?"
DM: It's pretty trippy, it definitely doesn't feel like 10 years. But I'm thankful that people are still talking about it. 'Sweet Disposition' is still getting a sh*lot of streams on Spotify.
It's funny, [living] in Berlin, I'm really into electronic music now so I'm kinda sourcing out DJs and whatnot – DJs are still dropping remixes of that song. [Laughs] So yeah, it's probably taken on a different meaning you know? It's great! And to think that I had a part in creating that is really special.
MF: How you look back on Conditions as a whole?
DM: I think me, as a musician, and most musicians are all just cursed with a mostly critical mind. So if I was to go back and listen to this album from top-to-bottom I think I probably wouldn't be able to help myself, I'd be critical of certain things. But at the end of the day, the thing that makes a record special is that once you're done with it and you let it go it's kind of not yours anymore. It doesn't really matter anymore what you think or that you think, "This guitar was too loud!" Who cares? You know I mean?
I'm just happy that it became the soundtrack to so many people's lives. That's the most special thing about that record to me. It's more what other people take out of it you know? Mostly it's been amazing for me because it's afforded me [the opportunity] to do so many things, to visit so many different places and experience all these amazing things. But the true meaning of the record is, to me, how special it is to other people.
MF: You're doing some anniversary shows for the album. Have you started preparing?
DM: Well we haven't started preparation just yet. It's going to be challenging because we all live on different continents. I'm in Europe, the bass player [Jonathon Aherne] is in New York and the rest of the guys are in Australia. So it's going to be a little bit of logistical challenge but we'll get there.
I'm excited! We've obviously played all of those songs from Conditions before, but they've always been in different order. To go on tour and play [the album] the way it's been put together on record is going to be exciting. It'll be interesting to see how that feels live because obviously on record we thought about it a lot and it was very intentional to have these songs placed the way they were on the album, but we'll see how it translates live.
MF: Is it possible you could record again? Have you considered doing anything with Temper Trap in future after this whole anniversary thing?
DM: Oh, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. At the moment we're all just kind of musically, creatively busy working on solo projects. Jonny [Aherne] has got a solo project, I've got my thing going. We've been together for a long time and I think it's good to get off your chest whatever other creative things are in there that will probably never see the light of day in a Temper Trap context. It's good to just go off and venture round and do other things for a while.
And we still have things like this anniversary or little shows here and there that are an excuse for us to see each other and to reconnect with each other and play live. So it's good. But we're definitely going to write some music, new stuff, I think. I'm sure we will.
MF: Is it the case that you only write new stuff when you come together and don't do much before then or do you have ideas when you're apart that you sit on until you're back together?
DM: Probably the latter. I already have a bunch of stuff in the Temper Trap folder. When the time comes, I'm sure the other guys will have a whole arsenal of ideas as well. So when that time comes we'll have a head start.
MF: Any closing thoughts?
DM: I don't know. I guess just reflecting on everything – this is all just going to sound really cliché, but I'm super thankful that people give a sh*t! [Laughs] 10 years later! Hopefully, the songs have aged well. And yeah, I really appreciate the fans. I'm just excited for whatever is next.

'Surrender'
Hanan Elmasu Geneva, Switzerland 29 March 2002
Further reports from Ramallah state that, in addition to those being rounded up in Al Bireh, Israeli soldiers have been calling for males, in some areas between the age of 14 - 40, to 'surrender' themselves in other areas of Ramallah. House to house raids continue, and those detained are also being held in classrooms in nearby schools and, in one instance, a bakery in lower Ramallah. None of those detained from yesterday or today have been released, so it is unclear what their current situation is. The number of detainees is yet not known. Read more about 'Surrender'

Physician and Surgeon: A Professional Medical Journal, Bind 28
they were almost entirely free from the long list of complaints that are more or less due to the uncontrolled or uncontrollable imagination. Shortly after the Punic wars, but especially under the empire when luxurious habits due to the influx of wealth from the east had debilitated the naturally robust constitutions of the higher classes, nervous disorders, along with many others, were inevitable. Then quacks, charlatans, medicasters, soothsayers, magicians, astrologers and what not found a ready market for their wares. They played upon the credulity of the populace and preyed upon their purses because there was money in both the playing and the preying. No small portion of them probably were shrewd enough to disguise some real medical knowledge under a mass of hocus pocus in order to influence the imaginations of their patients. Well might Ovid say as others had said before himand since, too-mundus vult decipi (people like to be deluded). Physicians still give to their patients who insist on taking something' bread pills, colored water and other equally potent or impotent remedies. It would be manifestly unfair to charge a physician with dishonesty because he practices a harmless ruse upon a patient who can be helped in no other way so easily.
"Dismissing faith in the confused creeds of the heathen world, he reposed the greatest faith in the power of human wisdom. He did not know (perhaps no one in that age distinctly did) the limits which nature imposes on our discoveries. Seeing that the higher we mount in knowledge the more wonders we behold, he imagined that nature not only worked miracles in her ordinary course, but that she might, by the cabala of some master soul, be diverted from that course itself. Thus he pursued science across her appointed boundaries into the land of perplexity and shadow. From the truths of astronomy he wandered into astrological fallacy; from the secrets of chemistry he passed into the spectral labyrinth of magic; and he who could be skeptical as to the power of the gods was credulously superstitious as to the power of man." Such are the thoughts that Bulwer-Lytton, in the Last Days of Pompeii, puts into the mind of one of his characters, the Egyptian Arbaces. The reasoning by which such men justified the employment of their superior knowledge and insight to dupe the credulous was half philosophy, half knavery. If a man is the possessor of power unknown to the multitude except in its effects, why has he not the right to use it?-to use it first of all to enhance his authority and to draw from such authority the advantages that seem to him most desirable? We may well admit that a man of this stamp may have had an inward feeling akin to what we call conscience that would justify his attitude toward his fellows-yet he did not consider these Romans fellow men of his-but it was wholly of the intellect. Such a man is as much a philosopher as were the sophists of an earlier age, and, we may add, of our own day. They apprehend clearly certain superficial verities, but cease to inquire farther after they have discovered what
they think needful and sufficient for their own aggrandizement. Far different was the class of witches, one of whom is introduced in the same novel. Against these Horace frequently raises his voice, as do also others of the rationalizing Romans. They are ignorant, and, in most instances, as much the dupes of their own juggleries as their victims. Every man who goes through the world with his mind alert can see specimens without especially looking for them. It is doubtful whether any man has ever lived who had not at least a modicum of superstition in him. However much we may know and however far we may be able to pry into nature in some directions, there are others in which our vision is barred and the unknown is literally within arm's length. The mystery of life and death has always been so profound, as it still is, though in a different way, that we need not wonder at the strange aberrations which so many persons fell into, who were in most matters little likely to be carried away by delusions. Sleep, 'the twin brother of death,' has from time out of mind been regarded as an excursion into the realm of departed spirits. If, as many believe, our consciousness is never coextensive with our personality, there are yet many discoveries to be made not dreamt of in the philosophy of most of us. Our will as an integral part of ourselves is the resultant of so many forces and, with the majority, is so little under control of rational motives, that it often plays fantastic tricks, not before high heaven alone, but almost anywhere.
The will of each individual as modified, at least in action from moment to moment, is like a ball thrown into a grove. It strikes one tree, then another and another, and no one can predict with certainty where it will come to rest. This element of chance, of Tyche, in the affairs of men, this incalculable calculus of probabilities, pervades in a remarkable degree the literature of ancient Greece and Rome. It made many feel that, do what they would, they were doomed to be thwarted in their plans. It was only those who, like Socrates, Epictetus and a few others, maintained that the chief end of man is to be found in motives rather than in outward results, who were never thrown out of their philosophical poise by the strange vicissitudes of life.
It is a far cry from the Greeks to the Saracens, though farther in time than in space. Here we find philosophy, or rather metaphysics, and medicine more intimately associated than at any other time or among any other people. Every one of the ten or twelve men who became prominent in Arabian philosophy was a physician. In fact the Arabs treated philosophy as a branch of astronomy and the healing art. The latter served a practical purpose, as did also the former in so far as it was dealt with as astrology. Arab philosophy was, however, something very different from the science that bore the same name among the Greeks. They studied philosophy, or rather they philosophized, as a man would study navigation on a ship lying at anchor. Albeit they were in this respect at no greater disadvantage than the schoolmen. The one party was chiefly concerned to make any discoveries they might light upon harmonize with the Koran and Aristotle; the other with the Bible and Aristotle, with a little spice from Ptolemy thrown in. Al-kindi, the philosopher par excellence of the Arabs, flourished in the tenth century. He wrote on almost every imaginable subject from arithmetic to astronomy, though under the former he discusses the unity of God; his arithmetic was therefore something totally different from that which forms the schoolboy's triangle with readin' and 'ritin'. So far as is at present known all his works are lost, except those on medicine and astrology. Roger Bacon ranks him in some respects close to Ptolemy. Al-farabi was a contemporary of the preceding and is generally regarded as the earliest of the Arabian philosophers. However, medical science and even surgery could make little progress where the knowledge of human anatomy was so inadequate. The Koran denounces as unclean every person who touches a dead body, and an article of Mohammedan faith forbids dissection. We should remember, nevertheless, that the founder of anatomy, Vesalius, was sentenced to death by the Inquisition as a magician, and only pardoned on condition that he make a pilgrimage of penance to Jerusalem. This journey cost him his life. And it is probable that he would not have got off even on these relatively hard terms had he not enjoyed the favor of Philip II of Spain, who esteemed him highly for his medical skill. We have the name of one Arab physician, Abdallatif of Bagdad, who was well aware that anatomy could not be learned from books, strange as it may seem that historians have thought it worth while to place to any man's credit a truth so easily apprehended. The same authority avers that Moslem doctors studied that branch of anatomy known as osteology by examining the bones of the dead found in cemeteries. Averroes of Cordova fills a large place in the history of Moorish philosophy in Spain about the middle of the twelfth century. But in medical renown he ranks far below Avicenna of Bokhara, who flourished about a century and a half earlier. He was teacher of both philosophy and medicine in Ispahan. His medical works seem to have been the chief guide in this branch in Europe for almost five centuries; their sway was not broken until the beginning of the seventeenth century. It is strong and yet painful testimony to the inherent stupidity of mankind, physicians not excepted, that the doctrines of Avicenna are little more than what is found in Galen somewhat modified by Aristotle; and, as we have seen, Galen represents no great advance upon Hippocrates. Alas for the human race that it has always been so much easier to memorize than to think and to investigate! The medical science and practice of the Arabs was confined chiefly to surgery and the empirical treatment of internal diseases. There was no lack of victims in view of the constant wars in which the califs were engaged, and no lack of opportunity for the study of disease in its various forms in the hospitals which some of them founded in various parts of their domains.

MEDICAL NEWS.
THE NATIONAL MEDICAL ELECTION. Doctor Joseph D. BRYANT, of New York City, was elected president of the American Medical Association at its recent meeting in Boston. Other officers chosen on this occasion are as follows: First vicepresident, Doctor Herbert L. Burrell, of Boston; second vicepresident, Doctor Andrew C. Smith, of Portland; third vicepresident, Doctor David S. Fairchild, of Des Moines; fourth vicepresident, Doctor William S. Foster, of Pittsburgh; general secretary, Doctor George H. Simmons, of Chicago; treasurer, Doctor Frank Billings, of Chicago; trustees, Doctor Malcolm L. Harris, of Chicago, Doctor William H. Welch, of Baltimore, and Doctor Miles F. Porter, of Fort Wayne.
COMMENCEMENT SEASON CLINIC. CLINIC week is always an important feature of commencement season at the Detroit College of Medicine, but the event this year is pronounced more consequential than ever before, as many as three hundred witnessing some of the clinics, and five hundred being conservatively estimated as the total attendance. In addition to the regular teaching force of the college, clinics were conducted by Doctor George Dock, of Ann Arbor, on diseases of the heart; Doctor Edward G. Tuttle, of New York, on rectal diseases; Doctor Bart E. MacKenzie, of Toronto, on orthopedic surgery; and Doctor Howard A. Kelly, of Baltimore, on operative gynecology. The advent of the scientific and social features of the occasion was marked by a symposium on "Criminal Abortion" before the Wayne County Medical Society, the participants being Doctor Howard W. Longyear, of Detroit, who discussed the question from the medical standpoint; Attorney Charles Lightner, of Detroit, who considered the legal aspect of the question; and Reverend Father Command, of Trenton, who defined the attitude of the Church toward the murderous practice.
THE PENINSULAR GATHERING OF PHYSICIANS.
The forty-first annual meeting of the Michigan State Medical Society was held at Jackson, May 23, 24, and 25.
The program embraced the titles of over fifty papers, besides three orations and two addresses, the latter being delivered by Doctor John B. Murphy, of Chicago, and President David Inglis, of Detroit. "Education" was the subject of the presidential discourse, and the views enunciated contemplate not only better means of educating the physician but better means of educating the public as well. The trend of ideas is especially reflected in the suggestion that county societies disseminate informaSoc
tion among the laity regarding the prophylaxis of venereal diseases ; that a committee on medical education be appointed from the State
to cooperate with the Council of the American Medical Association; that amalgamation of medical schools affords the greatest efficiency in properly training medical students, and hence the desirability in Michigan of merging the State University medical school and the Detroit College of Medicine. The quality of the papers was equal to the average of previous meetings, while the symposiums in the sections afforded exceedingly delightful variation. The Society recommended the combination of medical colleges; addition to the faculties of medical colleges of a chair on Professional Ethics; investigation of contract practice for fraternal orders and for poor commissioners; refusal to accept reduction of fees for life insurance examinations; and modification of existing laws to enable more efficient dealing with tuberculous cattle. It was decided to return to a two-days' session and to omit the orations. A vote of thanks was tendered Doctor Leartus Connor for services rendered in reorganizing the State Society, and a committee was appointed to select a testimonial for Doctor Andrew P. Biddle in recognition of his services as secretary. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Doctor Charles B. Stockwell, of Port Huron; first vicepresident, Doctor William Fuller, of Grand Rapids; second vicepresident, Doctor Edward T. Abrams, of Dollar Bay; third vicepresident, Doctor Delbert Robinson, of Jackson ; fourth vicepresident, Doctor Allison R. Stealy, of Charlotte. The following were elected chairmen of sections: Medicine-Doctor Joseph B. Whinery, of Grand Rapids; Surgery-Doctor Louis A. Roller, of Grand Rapids; Gynecology-Doctor Walter H. Sawyer, of Hillsdale. The next meeting will be held at Saginaw.
LIFE INSURANCE EXAMINATION FEES. The question of compensation for life insurance examinations was considered at the recent Jackson meeting of the Michigan State Medical Society, and the concensus of opinion was expressed in the following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, Many of the Life Insurance Companies have notified their medical examiners of a reduction of the examining fee from $5.00 to $3.00, and
Whereas, We, as physicians, realizing the responsibility incident to proper examination of the individual, believe such reduction to be unjust, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Delegates, in session assembled, does hereby declare such reduction to be unjust, and respectfully requests that no physician legally authorized to practice medicine in Michigan, accept such reduction of fees.
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Delegates that hereafter in such examinations for life insurance, the minimum fee shall be $5.00.

Q: Line breaks in TikZ nodes I have this code that outputs a small family tree
    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{tikz}
    \usetikzlibrary{trees}
    \begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}[
      man/.style={rectangle,draw,fill=blue!20},
      woman/.style={rectangle,draw,fill=red!20,rounded corners=.8ex},
      grandchild/.style={grow=down,xshift=1em,anchor=west,
        edge from parent path={(\tikzparentnode.south) |- (\tikzchildnode.west)}},
      first/.style={level distance=6ex},
      second/.style={level distance=12ex},
      third/.style={level distance=18ex},
      level 1/.style={sibling distance=5em}]
        % Parents
        \coordinate
          child[grow=left] {node[man,anchor=east]{Jim}}
          child[grow=right] {node[woman,anchor=west]{Jane}}
          child[grow=down,level distance=0ex]
        [edge from parent fork down]
        % Children and grandchildren
        child{node[man] {Alfred}}
        child{node[woman] {Berta}}
        child {node[man] {Charles}}
        child {node[woman]{Doris}};
    \end{tikzpicture}
    \end{document}

and what I want to do, is to write 2 lines of text in each box (e.g. Jim and underneath his DOB). How do I break a line in order to do that? \\ doesn't work.
Here is a printscreen of the output:

A: Add align=center to the style if you want to use \\:

Code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{trees}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[
  man/.style={rectangle,draw,fill=blue!20, align=center},
  woman/.style={rectangle,draw,fill=red!20,rounded corners=.8ex, align=center},
  grandchild/.style={grow=down,xshift=1em,anchor=west,
    edge from parent path={(\tikzparentnode.south) |- (\tikzchildnode.west)}},
  first/.style={level distance=6ex},
  second/.style={level distance=12ex},
  third/.style={level distance=18ex},
  level 1/.style={sibling distance=5em}]
    % Parents
    \coordinate
      child[grow=left] {node[man,anchor=east]{Jim}}
      child[grow=right] {node[woman,anchor=west]{Jane}}
      child[grow=down,level distance=0ex]
    [edge from parent fork down]
    % Children and grandchildren
    child{node[man] {Alfred \\ 05-04-83}}
    child{node[woman] {Berta \\ 05-04-99}}
    child {node[man] {Charles \\ 05-04-77}}
    child {node[woman]{Doris \\ 05-04-80}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

A: You could try to use a table (two rows) (tabular env) in the content; though, I have no the required package to check if it would work or that is not allowed. E.g.
  \begin{tabular}{c}
     Jim \\
     DOB \\
  \end{tabular}

If \\ does not work since it was changed someway by the package, then you could try \cr, but I suppose it could not work and if it works, it is bad LaTeX (too much TeXish).

Q: Android app error when trying to connect to SQL Server 2005 Good day!
I was following this tutorial  - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiSMgy9UciI
and tried to connect my Android application to SQL Server 2005. Application should get data from database and display it in emulator. Now, I'm stuck with unknown error, when running application it displays empty screen and message "" and no errors occur in console or LogCat.
Here is my first_activity.java code:

A plethora of goals over the weekend saw the number of goals scored by the club's 3 teams hit 200 for the season.
Midfielder Wes Pullen bagged four on Saturday as Town beat third-place Belstone in a 5-2 thriller at The Bury.
An excellent second half performance saw Buntingford grind down the Belstone defence, putting a dent into the opposition's promotion hunt.
The Reserves beat Old Parmiterians for the second time this season by the narrowest of margins, the 1-0 victory being secured by a fine penalty save from young goalkeeper Tim Rice.
On Sunday the Vets led 4-1 at home, only to be pegged back to 4-4 with just a couple of minutes remaining.
Fortunately a diving header from Sean Heather just seconds from the final whistle saw Town come away victorious with a rare victory over Tolmers.
And, to cap a great weekend for the club, congratulations to Pete Ware who completed the London Marathon in just over 5 hours.

Who Interprets?
Beginning with David Stromberg's recording of Helmut Lachenmann's Pression, I ask the question: who interprets?
Operating within a conventional understanding, one would say that David Stromberg interprets Pression. This understanding indicates that interpretation marks the individual subject. However, it could also be said that Lachenmann reinterprets the instrument–body complex, bringing this complex into a new orientation of expressive structures through extended techniques of notation and cello playing. It is not simply a question of the performing subject interpreting the score but also of the performing body itself interpreted by systems of notation.
Taking Deleuze's reading of Nietzsche as a starting point, I will argue that performance does not have to be organised around the interpreting subject. As Deleuze (1983) describes, the "will to power" is not a "who" but a force of creation. A current that runs through The Logic of Sensation is that invisible forces manifest themselves on the body: "Bacon's bodies, heads, Figures are made of flesh, and what fascinates him are the invisible forces that model flesh or shake it" (Deleuze 2003, xi).
Borrowing from Deleuze's conceptual framework, I argue that "technique" cannot be thought of as co-extensive with the body's movements—simply instrumental in conveying the performer's "interpretation." Rather, I argue that Deleuze's philosophy allows one to reappropriate technique as a structuring entity (or invisible force) that plays across the body, without falling into a hylomorphic scheme in which form is distinguished from matter. Technique is never present; it is not an appendage; it is not co-extensive with the material body or the psychological subject.
It is easier to say what technique is not than what it is. However, again in line with Deleuze's reading of Nietzsche, I argue that technique should be spoken of in terms of becoming, not being. Technique is continually developing in relation to different modes of articulating music: as we have seen, Lachenmann's notation is one example of composition reinterpreting the body and technique. However, many technical treatises—from Pierre Baillot's violin treatise to Gerhard Mantel's cello manual to the acoustics research of the bassist Knut Guettler—can be thought of as critical reinterpretations of the body, affecting and indeed becoming part of the technical assemblage.
I will argue that a critical and theoretical language about technique that incorporates Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy might allow us to describe performance on its own terms, aesthetically and formally independent (and yet co-dependent) from (and with) composition. The work of Mantel and Guettler treats technique as an independent object of study shifting between the phenomenological and the empirical. This research values technique in a fundamentally different manner from its treatment as a means of expressing an "interpretation" of musical compositions.
Guettler and Mantel work with technical bodies as machinic assemblages, developing a bodily calculus in line with Deleuze and Guattari's "minor science": "This science is characterized less by the absence of equations than by the very different role they play: instead of being good forms absolutely that organize matter, they are 'generated' as 'forces of thrust' by the material, in a qualitative calculus of the optimum" (Deleuze and Guattari 1987, 364–65). Guettler and Mantel introduce knowledge about the body, but a knowledge that is inseparable from material action. This knowledge follows the indeterminacies of the technical body's programmed action, disrupting (to different degrees) the methodologies of "royal science." It is of note here that differences in valuing and observing the technical component of musical practice led to propose radical revisions to the structure of conservatory education, demonstrating the close relationship of material practice, aesthetics, and politics.

Some 30 years ago, Scott Cam kickstarted his trade career as a carpenter. He never dreamed it would lead to TV stardom, let alone land him a Logie collection. But as an Australian Ambassador for Apprenticeships, it's much more than fortune and fame for The Block's inimitable figure head. Roving reporter Matt Reynolds discusses the importance of apprenticeships, the future for the trade industry; money and advice on taking advice with the man himself.
MATT REYNOLDS Hi Scott, you recently teamed up with the Australian Government to become an Ambassador for Apprenticeships, what exactly does the role involve?
SCOTT CAM It's crucial to make sure school age kids are aware that apprenticeships are a viable and rewarding alternative to university.
I don't think young people realise there are over 400 different types of apprenticeship available. It's my responsibility to outline the benefits of trades and encourage young people to investigate them. It's an attractive prospect to get paid while you study and learn the skills of a new job. There's a shortage of tradespeople at the moment and that's only going to get worse. In ve to ten years' time, a trade is going to be the gun job.
MR Do you anticipate that wages will be higher in the future because of the predicted shortage?
SC Absolutely. There are many tradespeople out there now but they're like me, in their 50s and 60s and set for retirement in the next few years. It's time to get the kids involved. Some of my old apprentices now get paid up to $90 an hour, which is not bad coin! It's a lucrative job that will always be in demand.
MR Do you have any financial advice for tradespeople?
SC A lot of tradies I know are stressed out about chasing money and paying wages. It shouldn't be the case, but that's the reality. Most businesses get paid when they do the work; tradespeople get paid often two weeks or a month later. Due to this – and all the other factors, stress for tradespeople running their own business is quite high. But if you want to live in a nicer home and have a better life you have to run your own business.
MR Do tradespeople have a responsibility to pass on their skills to the next generation?
SC Yes, I think they do. There's an unwritten obligation to keep the trade alive and moving. The other part of my role is convincing people about the value of taking apprentices on and what it can do for their business. I've met with the federal minister to discuss incentives and subsidies to encourage more of it. Take companies like Boral for example, they're worried that in ten years there will be no one to lay their product because brick laying is a dying trade. We need to reinforce the great life of being a tradesperson; working hard, getting out and about, creating something and at the end of the day cracking a beer and feeling fantastic about your achievements.
MR The Block can give home owners an unrealistic expectation of some of the time frames involved with renovation work. What are your thoughts on this?
SC With home improvement shows on TV every night, perceptions of what is feasible in terms of timeframes and attainability have been shifted. Tradespeople come up to me and tell me that people expect their new bathroom to be built in a week. Sure, we do that on the show, but if someone thinks that the building activity on The Block will be a reality in their own home, they need to get a handle on things! You're not going to get 30 people all working in your house at the same time and a bunch of other tradies all standing by ready to jump in. In the real world, tradies have other jobs on. You might have to wait three days for a job even to be started. As far as advice for home owners goes, know your limitations, know your budget and minimise your variations. Variations are the biggest cause of heart ache between client and tradie. It's all about managing expectations.
MR What's the biggest plumbing disaster you've had on the show?
SC Everything is tested and certified on the show and if it's not right it gets ripped up and done again. But accidents still happen. Like when there is no fall on the bathroom floor and the surface water runs right out the door. I've seen it so many times and still don't get why it happens.
MR What's the worst advice you her given to tradespeople?
SC I'm not an advice person, I don't seek it and rarely give it unless I'm asked, my apprentices excluded. My theory is that really, advice only suits the person giving it. You've got to learn to make your own decisions about how you live and how you work.
MR I know you don't like to give advice, but since I'm asking, can you suggest anything for young apprentices?
110 per cent in you'll get so much more out of life, whatever your profession.
MR One of your biggest career achievements has to be that Gold Logie win. Was it a big surprise?
SC I've watched the Logies all my life and never believed I would end up winning the silver and the gold. My wife and I had a good laugh about how surreal it all was. What was probably even stranger was the fact that we decided to turn the Logie into a stubbie opener. I routed it into the underside. My son had his 18th birthday party a couple of years ago and it got handed around all night.
MR Scott Cam... it's been a pleasure. Thanks again for doing this.
SC Really nice interview mate, I've enjoyed it. Cheers!


In his classroom, mathematics concepts are taught through escape rooms, fidget spinners and detective mysteries.
Mr Tan Choon Shing uses unusual methods to engage his pupils in applying the concepts to real-life scenarios.
The 42-year-old, who became head of department (HOD) for maths at Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary two years ago, did not want them to learn by rote.
He held a Maths Week last year that had activities such as an escape room, in which the pupils had about eight minutes to "escape" by solving puzzles.
Mr Tan said: "I have tried the escape room before, and I could identify with the thrill and excitement, so I thought why not scale it down and bring it to the children here?"
He was one of 17 finalists in the President's Award for Teachers across all levels this year.
HOD for student management Chung Li Koon, who also teaches maths, said the teachers had seen how Mr Tan enriched the pupils' learning.
She said: "Choon Shing will usually challenge us to try new things to benefit our pupils."
Mr Tan also developed a detective mystery series for his Primary 6 pupils to solve.
The maths teachers are also encouraged to use diagnostic marking, where pupils who make errors are asked to identify the concepts they did not understand instead of just copying down the right solutions.
The father of two primary school kids, aged nine and 11, also coaches his children the same way.
He said: "I try not to give them too much guidance before they submit their homework, if not it will not be reflective of their true abilities."
Fancy going on an excursion to Universal Studios Singapore (USS) to learn mathematics?
Ms Lily Soh, 47, and her colleagues at Nanyang Polytechnic came up with the concept.
Ms Soh, who has been a manager of the Engineering Mathematics and Science Group at the School of Engineering since 2014, told The New Paper: "I believe the traditional way of teaching... is not enough."
Two years ago, she and her team brainstormed for new methods to engage their tech-savvy students.
Now, at USS, students must complete tasks such as finding out how tall are the statues outside a ride. The students must use a combination of trigonometry and mobile applications to find the solutions.
The team also introduced projects to help students apply concepts to real-world settings, such as using cans in grocery stores to discuss calculus.


Virtually 9 in 10 soccer fanatics have observed a racist incident at a fit, in step with new information.
A Sky Knowledge ballot for Sky Sports activities Information confirmed that 86% have witnessed racism at a fit at least one time, with the determine emerging to 93% amongst supporters from a Black Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) background.
One in 5 (20%) witness racism – together with gestures, chants and abuse – steadily or each and every time they attend a fit. That determine rises to multiple in 4 (26%) amongst BAME fanatics.
Over 1,000 soccer fanatics – UK adults who attend more than one legitimate or semi-professional soccer fits each and every yr – took phase in our survey.
The problem of racism in soccer was once delivered to the fore in December when Manchester Town participant Raheem Sterling was once the sufferer of alleged racist abuse throughout their fit towards Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Police are investigating allegations of racist abuse directed at Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah when he performed towards West Ham, and Millwall is taking a look into alleged racist chanting prior to violence flared remaining month.
One in 3 (33%) has had racist abuse directed at them for my part. That determine rises to 71% amongst fanatics from BAME backgrounds – and of the ones nearly one in 5 (18%) stated they're for my part abused steadily or each and every time they attend a fit.
There have been low ranges of passing on details about such incidents to government. Best 29% stated that they had reported a racist incident that they had witnessed and, of those that did, 74% weren't positive what, if anything else was once completed about their grievance.
She has referred to as for a summit bringing in combination all stakeholders from the sport to talk about the problem. She hopes this may occasionally occur later this month.
The Premier League director of coverage, Invoice Bush, additionally commented at the effects from the Sky Knowledge ballot.
He stated: "It is surely a being worried pattern, however we're made up our minds to handle this drawback.
"The Premier League golf equipment have all met and mentioned what extra we will be able to and want to do.
:: Tackling Racism will probably be broadcast on Sky Sports activities Information on Monday 11 February at 7pm. A panel of visitors together with former England striker Emile Heskey will speak about the Sky Knowledge ballot findings and the programme can even listen perspectives from West Ham's Michail Antonio, the PFA, Premier League, Display Racism the Purple Card and others.
Sky Knowledge interviewed a consultant pattern of one,006 UK adults, and an extra spice up of 150 BME adults who attend more than one soccer fits each and every yr, on-line between 21-28 January 2019.

# Page titles not only affect a page's URL but they are also shown at the top of the page. Therefore, it is important that a page title is a title, not a mnemonic "path name". I strongly doubt that we need such mnemonic names but if they are introduced they should denote only redirects to the actual page.
# On the other hand, it is good if titles are not unnecessarily long so that URLs have reasonable size. Especially, redundant occurences of the word "Haskell" in titles should be avoided. If a page on HaskellWiki is just named "Compilers and interpreters", it should be clear that it refers to "Haskell compilers and interpreters", so the extra "Haskell" is not needed.
# Titles should use sentence-style capitalization (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization#Headings_and_publication_titles]). Capitalizing more words seems to be only appropriate in larger documents like books. If slashes are used to denote hierarchy, each part of the hierarchical title should be handled as if it were a title itself, i.e., its first word should be capitalized.

When editing a wiki, the bottom of the editing page has a place to put a summary. It is considered good form to put a one line comment about any changes you are making. As well, you have the capability to mark an edit as ''minor''. Please use this only for changing format, spelling, fixing bad links or minor word re-arrangement. It should not be used when adding whole new sections, a signficant number of links, new pages or rewrites of the page.
What follows are some guidelines for page titles which were developed by Wolfgang Jeltsch. Currently, the page titles on this wiki adhere more or less to these guidelines. The editing etiquette was added later by others.

April 9, 1990: White Sox eke out a win in final Opening Day at Comiskey Park
October 29, 2020 /in Games Project 1990s Comiskey Park greatest games Opening Day /by admin
This article was written by Nathan Bierma
The rising rafters of New Comiskey Park peered over the wall of the old ballpark across 35th Street, as though they, too, wanted one last look.1
It was the final Opening Day at Comiskey Park, kicking off the last of 81 seasons there. Sorrow for the storied park was somewhat tempered by the new one taking shape across the street. After the White Sox narrowly averted a move to Florida in 1988,2 the shiny new ballpark ensured that the team was staying put at the corner of 35th and Shields.
Still, this would be a season for nostalgia at the oldest ballpark in the major leagues.
"There's a lot of tradition in this place," said White Sox manager Jeff Torborg the day before. "I'm kind of a romantic anyway. … The guys here now may not be thinking of the history. They're thinking about whether we're going to win tomorrow. But it's nice to be a part of something. In some ways, it's sad. But in other ways, it's progress."3
Not all of the 40,008 fans in attendance on Opening Day were as even-handed. "The last true Sox opener," read a banner hanging from the left-field upper deck.4
Opening Day was set to be a rare double feature in Chicago. For the first time in modern major-league history, both Chicago teams opened their season at home on the same day.5 The nightcap came at Wrigley Field, its first evening opener since lights were installed less than two years ago.6
The White Sox were up first. Their game "matches two clubs in very different situations," wrote the Chicago Tribune.7 After finishing at an even 81-81 the year before, the Milwaukee Brewers were aiming for an AL East crown in manager Tom Trebelhorn's fourth full season, re-signing reigning AL MVP Robin Yount and adding free-agent slugger Dave Parker.8 Meanwhile, "the Sox were expected to mature more than contend in the tough AL West, and nothing happened in spring training to change that," the Tribune stated.9 Torborg's young team tallied just 69 wins the year before, and a season of patience seemed to be in store.10 Comiskey Park itself would be the star attraction this year.
Lacking a bonafide ace, the White Sox handed the ball to Melido Perez, coming off an uninspiring 1989 season in which he went 11-14 with an ERA of 5.01. The Brewers had their ace, Chris Bosio, who had the sixth best ERA in the American League in 1989 (2.95) and tied for fourth in both strikeouts (173) and complete games (eight).
After waiting over a half-hour for a drizzly rain to subside, the White Sox led off with a nod to history, sending out Chuck Comiskey to throw the ceremonial first pitch.11 It was his grandfather Charles who built the ballpark, calling it "The Baseball Palace of the World."
The first pitch that counted marked another milestone. When White Sox catcher Carlton Fisk caught the opening pitch from Perez to Brewers leadoff batter Gary Sheffield, it marked the fourth decade in which Fisk had played in the major leagues. He became the 18th major leaguer to achieve that milestone, and the ball was removed to be displayed in the team's Hall of Fame in the new stadium.12 Then, in his first at-bat of the season, in the second inning against Bosio, the ageless Fisk knocked a double down the left-field line.
But the Brewers scored first the following inning. Edgar Diaz singled, advanced on a bunt, and came home on a ground-rule double by B.J. Surhoff. The White Sox tied the game in the fifth inning when Ozzie Guillen led off with a triple down the right-field line and scored on a wild pitch by Bosio.
That was about it for offense for most of the afternoon. Perez cruised through six innings, collecting six strikeouts with just one walk and four hits. "Perez had the best tempo I've ever seen from him," said White Sox pitching coach Sammy Ellis.13 But wanting to ease his starter into the new season, Torborg pulled him for Scott Radinsky, making his major-league debut, to start the seventh. After one batter and one out, Barry Jones came on to finish the inning.
The White Sox took control of the game in the bottom of the seventh. After Robin Ventura drew a leadoff walk from Brewers reliever Tony Fossas, Sammy Sosa laid a bunt down the first-base line. First baseman Greg Brock charged and fired to second, but not in time to get Ventura.14 Guillen came up and bunted, but Surhoff came out from behind the plate to field it and fire to third to force out Ventura. Then Lance Johnson loaded the bases with what the Tribune called "a 43-foot single that died barely along the third-base line."15 Scott Fletcher hit a sacrifice fly to right field that sent Sosa home. The White Sox had scored a run on a walk, two bunts, a meek infield single, and a sacrifice fly, to take the lead, 2-1.
After five straight outs from Jones, Torborg brought in Wayne Edwards in the ninth to face Parker in a lefty-lefty matchup, and Edwards got him swinging. Then in came Bobby Thigpen, and he struck out Rob Deer and got Brock to fly out to Ivan Calderon in foul territory in left. The White Sox were victors on Opening Day.
"This is one 40,008 people will treasure long after old Comiskey Park is turned to memory and dust," wrote the Tribune.
So did Edwards, whose one retired batter was enough to make his mark on Comiskey Park history.
"I wanted to get in on Opening Day," Edwards said afterward. "It's nice to be a part of history."16

10 In reality, the Brewers would plunge to sixth in the East in 1990, at 74-88, while the surprising White Sox would surge to 94 wins and a strong second-place showing in the AL West behind the mighty Oakland A's, and Torborg would be named AL Manager of the Year.

In conversation with my barber I learned that a local band uses two different names depending on where they play. For club dates they go by the name Hookers And Blow. But for church sponsored events they use the name Emerson, Lake and Lyndale, which are streets in South Minneapolis.


Manikaran Sahib is one of the best examples of the co-existence between two greatest religions Hinduism and Sikhism in Kullu. In Sikh religion, Manikaran Sahib is the second most important religious place in the state. It is located at the Bank of the Parvati River. Manikaran village is so old that it has been mentioned in the Indian epics such as Braham Puran, Mahabharat and Ramayan. Gyani Gyan Singh, who wrote Janm Sarni mentioned this place in his books.
The Manikaran Sahib is associated with the Guru Nanak Devji, who was first Sikh guru. As per the book, Guru Nanak Devji visited this place and stayed here with his five disciples. Also, he performed many divine and unworldly acts during his stay here. Sikh people from all over the world visit this place for their religious pilgrimage.
The founder of the Manikaran Sahib was a saint whose name was Saint Shri Narayan Hari. He came from Kamalpur which is located in Pakistan to this place and settled here. He founded the Gurudwara in 1940. Saint Shri Narayan Hari died in 1991, when his daughter Devji and the son-in-law Sri Ramji were looking after Manikaran Sahib. Some important festivals which are celebrated at Manikaran Sahib are Guru Nanak Jayanti and Saint Shri Narayan Hari Nirwan Diwas, when people all over the country visit the Gurudwara. The recital of Guruwani and Ardas goes on for many days and langars are organized for the believers.
Manikaran Sahib is located at Manikaran which is located at the high attitude of 1760 meters over the sea level. In addition to being important pilgrimage destination for the Sikh religion, this place is also very important for Hindu religion. Parvati Valley and Manikaran is very popular with the Hindus people as this place is also associated with Hindu mythology with the Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati. It is believed that while on their travels, they liked this place very much and stayed here for many years.
Once, Devi Parvati lost her earring as Sheshnag swallowed it and took it underground. When Devi Parvati wanted it back, he didn't obliged. Due to this, Lord Shiva became angry and he opened his third eye. Frightened, Sheshnag threw it back on the ground with the aid of hot sizzling springs and with it other precious jewels like the earrings.
So, the name of place was derived from this place as Manikaran. Manikaran also have various other temples which are associated with other deities such as Hanuman, Ram, Sita and lord Shiva. The Hindus also believe that Manu recreated human life in Manikaran after the flood. They also believe that there is no need to visit Kashi after visiting this place for getting Moksha.
The temple of Lord Shiva is very old and important in the region. On some specified dates, all the Kullu deities visit this temple even today. Apart from being the important religious destination, Manakaran is famous for its hot water springs and Geo-Thermal activities. The water is so hot in the springs that you can also cook rice here. The government has also set up a geothermal energy plant on experimental basis.
Manikaran Sahib is located just 44 kilometers away from Kullu. You can take private taxi, car or jeep and reach this place in about an hour.
There are various hotels which are medium and high end near the Manikaran Sahib for the resident facilities. You can stay there and visit Manikaran Sahib for worship. Two of them are Krishna Palace hotel and Siddartha hotel.

Does Non-Linear Editing Change Style and Art?
Non-Linear editing is done on a computer and offers "random access, non-destructive editing" of the source material, including video and audio. There are a great many advantages to Non-Linear Editing. Two of the biggest are cost and speed. Sony Vegas Movie Studio is a powerful example of this. The program is powerful enough to edit a feature film including special effects and audio sweetening and it costs only $80!
While Standard Definition video can easily be edited on an older computer, editing HD video requires a fairly powerful computer. It no longer makes any sense to consider editing film the way we used to do it – by literally cutting and pasting pieces of film. Those who shoot film today, have it transferred to video and then edit it on a Non-Linear Edit system.
See What's the Best Editing System for a complete description of modern editing technology.
While it is very powerful, efficient, and affordable compared to linear editing of film or videotape, non-linear editing has probably contributed to fast-cutting editing styles that seem so prevalent today. Consider the modern movie trailer. Very fast cuts with an overpowering sound track. The cuts are so fast you can't really see the composition and art of individual shots. It's a crescendo of shock and awe, almost like being in a war zone. Film scholar Matthias Stork has called this sensory overload Cinema Chaos.
Movies that have such a short average shot length diminish the art of the cinematographer, the production designer, and the actor. On the other hand "The Hurt Locker" (2009) won Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. It is all hand held and mostly fast cuts.
Fast cutting has been around for quite a while. Alfred Hitchcock's film "Psycho" (1960) has a famous fast-cutting scene in the shower which is one of the best known scenes in cinema history. As Hitchcock later said "everything was so rapid that there were 78 separate pieces of film in 45 seconds." Most of the shots are extreme close-ups.
More recently "Moulin Rouge!" (2001) has a can-can scene that is very fast cutting. There are many more examples. The edits in Hollywood films today seem to be faster than in the past. "Psycho" only used fast-cutting in one scene and it made that scene and the film highly effective.
Fast cutting has become an almost a gratuitous effect as entire films use the technique in an attempt to make the films high powered without relying on superior storytelling. Nevertheless, there are many skillful examples of fast cutting such as the famous chase scene in "The French Connection" (1971) which won an Academy Award for Best Editing.
Computer-animated action-comedy superhero film "The Incredibles" is 2.5.
