Taking a look back at 2012, there is little doubt that Brazil was the year's knock-out champion in terms of tech investments. Government entities and private investors, foreign funds and local VCs alike dedicated millions upon millions of dollars to the country's growing ecosystem, placing their bets on big returns.
Back in July, Redpoint Ventures and e.ventures joined forces to create Redpoint e.ventures, the first Silicon Valley fund dedicated exclusively to Brazil. Founded by Yann de Vries and Anderson Thees, the VC fund is focused on businesses in consumer internet, mobile, media and cloud technologies with a main market or jurisdiction in Brazil. Thees talked to us in August about Redpoint e.ventures' work and expectations, describing Brazil's startup ecosystem as one of great potential dogged by a few lingering questions. Slowly but surely, Redpoint e.ventures has begun to make moves in Brazil, with investments in Minuto Seguros and 55social.

Spooky Christmas!
Here are some improvisations I did this Christmas. I'm finding myself increasingly drawn to the creativity that the Seaboard offers me than to what I can do with the piano. This feels like a real change for 2019...
Communicative Musicality and Entropy
An activity which I've done a few times now is to invite people to simulate conversation in music using my Roli Seaboard. The result sounds a bit like the Clangers, but people enjoy it (and I get something much more expressive out of them than I would if I tried to get them to vocalise "talk"). What's interesting is that it's obvious when its done well - the musical conversation has a kind of coherence about it - which raises a fundamental question about the coherence of any shared "musicking" between people, and the prosody of language.
This coherence is, I think, a fractal structure, and another aspect of this analysis is to consider how the fractal might emerge. Any musical communication involves an "emergent alphabet" of utterances, which invites the suggestion that a fractal must express the emergence of this alphabet. The emergent alphabet issue also presents a problem when trying to apply analytical techniques like information theory to music: information theory relies on the fact that the alphabet is known at the outset, so it knows what to count. If the alphabet is emergent, it doesn't know what to count until (possibly) the end. However, it is a possibility that an alphabet at time t1 has a similar structure in terms of entropy as a larger alphabet at t2. This is where the fractal likely resides.
The critical question is at what point is it necessary to expand the alphabet? This is closely related to the question as to "at what point is a new concept introduced into a learning conversation?" My answer to this draws on the relations between entropies of basic elements.
Consider that a "basic" alphabet in sound contains four elements: pitch, rhythm, intervals and volume. They can be A, B, C, D. Over time, the entropies for each of these values can be calculated, and at different times the entropy for each will either increase or decrease. For example, a note which is sung typically has an "attack" - which is an increase in volume, and hence an increase in the entropy of volume. It may then have a "sustain" period where the volume is constant: that gives a entropy closer to zero. Finally the note is released, which results in a rapid decrease in volume to nothing, which is also an increase in entropy. Every dimension is like this, having a period of increase and decrease, so for each of A, B, C, D there is a corresponding A*, B*, C*, D* for its inverse. This means that AA*, BB* CC*, etc are all effectively zero. In drawing the attack and decay of a note and encoding an increase in entropy as 1, and a decrease as 0, we might see:
A A*
Sometimes it may seem that the entropy of A oscillates very quickly with the entropy of A* (e.g. vibrato), or even that it is difficult over a period of time to determine whether on average there is an increase or a decrease: both seem to be simultaneously present. If we draw this then we might see:
taken over a longer period of time, we would basically see:
This means that the AA* pair is complete and in total is zero. The question is whether this is the trigger for the production of a new element in the alphabet. I think it is. Intuitively, what is described is the point at which a gesture or idea is thoroughly familiar to the point of being boring, and this requires something new. It is a way of describing the satiety of the alphabet.
Now what happens in communicative musicality? When two people are in musical conversation, there is in each person a different idea of what the alphabet might be. So person x might articulate an alphabet which is A,A*,B,B* and person y might articulate an alphabet which is A, A*, C, C*. The conversation articulates a combined alphabet: A, A*, B, B*, C, C*, AC, AC*. At what point does this alphabet become sated, where each element is 1?
In a conversation that "doesn't work", what will happen is that the communication breaks down. This means that the utterance of one person is not met by a corresponding utterance by the other. Equally, the other person might simply keep on repeating the same behaviour (the same alphabet) irrespective of the attempts of the other person to elicit a different response. Both these situations result in restrictions to the growth of the alphabet.
But when it does work, there is adaptation in the utterances of both parties, which eventually results in an expanded alphabet that is shared between the people.
"Sunday evening": My Roli Seaboard is fantastic...
A little over 10 years ago, I did my first post on this blog called "Sunday afternoon", with a video of me playing the piano.
So here's "Sunday Evening" 10 years later, but it's not a piano, but a Roli Seaboard. What an amazing musical instrument this is. I am growing into it more all the time. I have never had this experience with any digital technology before...
The Digital Computer and the Implicate Order
All living things "compute" (literally, "com-putare"... they "contemplate with"). The human-digital computer system (the whole system of humans and machines), is a system where the computations in people are constrained by the logic circuits in a machine. Since we are allergic to the uncertainty that is produced within our human "computing system", the constraints of the digital computer are welcomed - they provide ways of attenuating our uncertainty and giving us "answers".
But if we look at living things as computers, and seek to contemplate with them, we would, I think, look at the world in a very different way. It is not the attenuation of uncertainty that we should seek from our contemplation. It is instead guidance on how to act to maintain the coherence of life.
This "acting to maintain coherence" is essentially a process of understanding when and how to generate redundancies in our human system. The digital computer can be used to generate redundancies, but a lot of the time it is used to attenuate reality and to generate "information", which is the opposite of redundancy.
What I mean by coherence is, at its most basic level, a hologram, or a fractal. It is a fundamental process which encapsulates totality. When things fall apart, the fractal loses its internal coherence. When this happens, it is necessary to generate new redundancies, and sometimes new variety. But we need to know what to do and how to do it.
The fundamental question we should ask ourselves is how we might apprehend this hologram. It is close to what David Bohm called the "implicate order". Essentially it is unknowable, but some features can be perceived - particularly in the growth of living things, and especially music.
Music is a kind of computation. Music specifically shows the ways in which redundancies are required to be generated to maintain coherent life: a new accompaniment, a new melody, a modulation, are all ways in which music computes the nature of perception. Each new moment is not an accident. It is an expression of the whole, or an intervention to reveal the whole.
Digital computers are powerful enough to give a glimpse into the computations of nature. It is the latter computations which are our best guide for making collective decisions.
From Topology to Holograms
There's a missing link in my thinking. On the one hand I am seeing holistic approaches to organisation as in Beer's work (in fact most cybernetic approaches are holistic) in a topological way. On the other hand, I am concerned with the fractal encoding of nature in things like holograms, where time and space are enfolded (this comes from Bohm).
The topology side reveals forms like the Mobius strip, trefoil knot, hexaflexagon, etc, where re-entry (which is something I'd not properly understood until quite recently) is a feature of a whole form. The connection with eroticism which I mentioned in my last post is something that puts a new dimension on this - a connection to lived experience, and perhaps psychological dynamics such as the double-bind. More than anything, I find this a productive way of thinking about profound questions such as "what drives the bee towards the flower, or the sperm towards the egg?"
Topologies enfold time in a peculiar way. We have to pass over them to understand them. They are structured space (synchronic), but the time of diachronic exploration is implicit in them.
But a topology is not an encoding - it is a manifest space. However, a topology can be encoded as a hologram.
Whilst a geometric form like a trefoil knot plays with space, music plays with time. The way in which music's playing with time might be encoded is the critical issue. I think this works according to the same principle as an object's encoding of space. Actually, in the case of a hologram, space and time are implicated in both, because a hologram is formed through the interference patterns of light, which implicates frequency, and in turn, time.
Music's interference pattern involves the interactions of redundancies or constraints. It's not just music - it's any diachronic process which involves this... learning and conversation are exactly the same. But where is the connection between the hologram's encoding of space and music's encoding of time?
A holographic encoding combines not only all dimensions - time and space are two of them (but we should also consider mass and charge since these also participate in the interference in light) - but is also able to represent the relation between these different dimensions in different ways. Aesthetic experience relies on this multiplicity of decodings of a hologram: we can be moved in similar ways by Beethoven, Shakespeare and Picasso. They all express something fundamental about the universe.
Seeing systems whole (and topology in Bataille's "Eroticism")
I've been giving a few seminars on the work of Stafford Beer recently. I've tended to concentrate on the work from Platform for Change, working backwards to the viable system model, and forwards to syntegration. One of the things which has really struck me is the topological coherence of Beer's thinking. If I can sum it up in a nutshell, it is simply that every whole system has "undecidables" which require a metasystem whose job it is to maintain the whole. This means that we make a mistake if we conceive of any "whole" as simply a boundary around a system (i.e. a circle). The undecidables are the hole within the whole. To put it most simply, "Every whole has a hole" (this is probably another way of expressing the Conant-Ashby theorem)
Another way of thinking about it is to see a whole as a Möbius strip. One side of the strip is the system and the other is the metasystem. The hole is (obviously) in the middle. If you flatten a Möbius strip, you get a trihexaflexagon which is also a trefoil knot. That's three arms which constrain each other: system, metasystem, environment. But maybe that's stretching things a bit.
A three-dimensional Möbius strip produces a Möbius snail. What a fascinating thing that is!
There are similar objects like "klein bottles", but in each case there is a hole in the whole.
I was looking up a book cover for Bataille's "eroticism" the other day and came across this erotic image which is used as a cover for one of his other books:
There's a strong similarity in these images, isn't there? And in fact there are holes in wholes everywhere we look... Here's one I've spent a lot of time looking at over the last year...
Is the optic nerve a hole within the whole? It certainly connects to the metasystem (the brain)...
Returning to Bataille for a second, he says something in the introduction to Eroticism which is very similar to Beer:
By seeking to present a coherent whole, I am working in contradiction to scientific method. Science studies one question by itself. It accumulates the results of specialised research. Eroticism cannot be discussed unless man too is discussed in the process.
Bataille is in the hole in more ways than one!
Seeing systems whole (and topology in Bataille's "...

Lavrov vows to keep encouraging Donetsk, Lugansk to hold talks with Kiev
Russia's top diplomat noted that Kiev is doing its utmost to undermine the success of the Contact Group's work
Sergey Lavrov
VLADIVOSTOK, April 21. /TASS/. Moscow will try to contribute to holding negotiations between Donetsk, Lugansk and Kiev, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview on the Zvezda TV channel on Sunday.
According to Lavrov, during the talks in the Belarusian capital Moscow made great efforts to convince the leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republic to back the Minsk agreements. "It's we [Russia] who persuaded these people to once again show their readiness and even resolve, if you want, to achieve peace with the rest of Ukraine," Lavrov said in the interview with program 'Glavnoye with Olga Belova'
Ukrainian presidential hopeful opposes granting special status to Donbass
"Unfortunately, the way the current Ukrainian authorities treat our efforts is disappointing. Despite provocations, we will seek the implementation of these agreements. We are a country that is capable of reaching agreements," Lavrov emphasized.
However, Russia's top diplomat noted that Kiev is doing its utmost to undermine the success of the Contact Group's work. "In practical work when the Contact Group meets every month, or even more often, the representatives of the Ukrainian government directly sabotage all what is discussed ranging from security, disengagement of forces and means, political process to agreeing on a formula of holding elections and granting this region a special status in accordance with the Minsk agreements. There is a direct and blatant sabotage."
Lavrov noted: "We should understand how the election outcome will affect the activity of the Ukrainian delegation in the Contact Group and who are these people delegated there."
Lavrov says NATO's defense spending stood at around $1 trillion last year
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Russia's defense spending was less that $50 billion in 2018

Edward Junior's readiness to serve his country was described by the Corvallis Gazette-Times, (August 14, 1942) as follows: "Called on Duty --- Lieutenant Edward A. Allworth, son of Major and Mrs. E.C. Allworth, who received his R.O.T.C. commission at the close of Oregon State college in the late spring, left Corvallis Thursday afternoon for Fort Knox, Kentucky, to answer a call into active service.… Lieutenant Allworth is a Corvallis boy and has attended grade and high schools here and Oregon State. He was in his senior year at the college." [4]
At the age of 21 and just shy of graduating from college, young Edward Allworth was off to military camp in preparation for the war front. Initially, the 6-foot-tall standing Allworth was supposed to be in a tank battalion, but because of his claustrophobia, he decided to be a paratrooper, not restricted or confined but free as a bird. By the following summer of 1943, he was training with a paratrooper detachment at Camp Mackall, NC and eventually earned his parachutist wings with the 101st Airborne division, who were among the first to see combat action when D-Day began on June 6, 1944.
Only a month into the war, Allworth sent a cable back home informing his family that "he had been in combat in the invasion area for eleven days. He was tired, as were others, with the constant day and night action, but was well and in good spirits." [5] What was not mentioned in that cable was that the paratrooper Allworth had an interesting encounter with a POW that left a lasting impression on the future scholar. According to Peter Sinnott, a former student, "Professor Allworth met an Asian Prisoner of War in a German uniform a few days after he had jumped into France. According to his wife Janet, he was intrigued and learned that he was a Bashkir who had been in the Red Army and surrendered. He had agreed to help the Wehrmacht and became a hilfe willige (a willing helper)." [6] It must have been surreal for a young American soldier to meet a Bashkir Tatar POW, far away from his home in the Ural mountains, in the battlefields of France.
As D-Day marked a turning point in the war against the Germans, Edward Jr. performed a heroic deed on the French battlefield by organizing the evacuation of his fellow soldiers despite being wounded. Like father, like son, Edward Jr. proudly served his country and was also awarded the bronze star for his act of courage. [7] With victory in hand, it was now time for Allworth Jr. to return home.

Chaillevette ist eine südwestfranzösische Gemeinde mit  Einwohnern (Stand ) im Département Charente-Maritime in der Region Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Lage
Chaillevette liegt am von Kanälen durchzogenen Südufer der Seudre auf der zwischen der Gironde und der Seudre gelegenen Halbinsel Arvert, die zur historischen Kulturlandschaft der Saintonge gehört, die ihrerseits wiederum ein Bestandteil der Landschaft der Charente ist. Die nächstgrößere Stadt ist Royan (etwa 15 Kilometer Fahrtstrecke südlich).

Bevölkerungsentwicklung

Im 19. Jahrhundert hatte der Ort beständig zwischen 920 und 1180 Einwohner. Infolge der Mechanisierung der Landwirtschaft ist die Bevölkerungszahl in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts deutlich zurückgegangen.

Wirtschaft
Seit Jahrhunderten spielen Landwirtschaft und Fischfang die dominierenden Rollen im Wirtschaftsleben der Gemeinde. Diese gehört zu den Bons Bois des Weinbaugebiets Cognac, doch wegen der Absatzkrise bei teuren Weinbränden wird kaum noch Wein angebaut. Viele Bauern sind zur 'normalen' Landwirtschaft zurückgekehrt. Als weitere Erwerbsquelle hat sich die Austernzucht etabliert.

Seit den 1960er Jahren spielt der Tourismus eine nicht unbedeutende Rolle im Wirtschaftsleben des Ortes.

Geschichte

Auf dem Gemeindegebiet wurden prähistorische und gallo-römische Funde gemacht; ehemals gab es auf dem Gemeindegebiet zwei Großsteingräber (dolmen), von denen nur noch spärliche Überreste existieren. Chaillevette überstand – anders als der Nachbarort Arvert – den Hundertjährigen Krieg (1337–1453) und die Hugenottenkriege (1562–1598), die mit dem Edikt von Nantes zu Ende gingen, weitgehend unbeschadet. Durch das Edikt von Fontainebleau (1685) wurde der protestantische Glaube, dem im Westen Frankreichs in manchen Gemeinden mehr als zwei Drittel der Bevölkerung anhingen, erneut drangsaliert. Er lebte jedoch im Untergrund weiter – die Gläubigen trafen sich insgeheim in den Dünen oder in Scheunen; man sprach von einer 'Kirche in der Wüste' (Église du Desert). Erst mit dem in religiösen Dingen toleranten Marschall und Gouverneur Jean Charles de Saint-Nectaire besserte sich auf der Halbinsel Arvert die Situation für die Protestanten in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts wieder.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
Siehe auch: Liste der Monuments historiques in Chaillevette
 Die katholische Pfarrkirche Saint-Pierre ist ein schlichter Bau vom Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts. Eine in der Nähe stehende romanische Kirche wurde wegen Baufälligkeit abgerissen. Die schmucklose Westfassade hat ein klassizistisches Portal mit einem Metopen-Triglyphenfries. Im einschiffigen Innern ist bei Restaurierungsarbeiten der Putz von den Wänden abgeschlagen worden, so dass – ähnlich wie bei den Kirchen von Arvert und Les Mathes – das Bruchsteinmauerwerk sichtbar wird; es bildet einen reizvollen Kontrast zum tiefhängenden verputzten Stuckgewölbe, das auf eine hölzerne Bretterverschalung aufgetragen wurde.
 Das protestantische Gotteshaus (temple) steht am Ortsrand. Das 'Erdgeschoss' des optisch zweigeschossigen Bauwerks ist ungegliedert und schmucklos; im 'Obergeschoss', welches nochmals durch ein umlaufendes Gesims unterteilt ist, reihen sich etwa ein Dutzend Fenster aneinander, die jeweils von Lisenen getrennt sind. Oberhalb des Portals findet sich – als einziger Bauschmuck – ein ausgebreitetes Tuch mit einem aufgeschlagenen Buch und den Worten Le Christ est ma vie.

Beanpole Movie Review
Harvey Karten
BEANPOLE (Dylda)
Reviewed for Shockya.com & BigAppleReviews.net linked from Rotten Tomatoes by: Harvey Karten
Director: Kantemir Balagov
Writer: Kantemir Balagov, Aleksadr Terekhov, inspired by Svetlana Alexievich's book "The Unwomanly Face of War"
Cast: Viktoria Miroshnichenko, Vasilisa Perelygina, Andrey Bykov, Igor Shirokov, Konstantin Balakirev
Screened at: Critics' link, NYC, 11/27/20
Opens: January 29, 2020 in theaters. May 5, 2020 streaming
War is hell and Kantemir Balagov has a unique way of making that point. Balagov, whose "Closeness" (Tesnota) hones in a small, squalid town in which a Jewish couple are kidnapped with ransom demanded, paints on a larger canvas with "Beanpole." Artem Emilianov's lenses bring us up close to a hospital that is treating war injuries, where notably Stepan (Konstantin Balakirev) has apparently been paralyzed and begs for death, but he is most interested in the ways that two women are adapting to a war that killed some twenty million Soviet citizens, or one out of every ten residents.
The action takes place in Leningrad, the movie obviously affording money and artistry in showing the destruction of Russia's second largest city, here complete with cars from the 1940s and a tram filled to the roof with people. The title character, hospital worker Beanpole (Viktoria Miroshnichenko) and her best friend Masha (Vasilisa Perelygina) have been emotionally injured by the war, relying on each other to find solace. Beanpole has been taking care of Masha's child Pashka (Timofey Glazkov), who joins in the hospital entertainment playing charades. To further sink in the horror of war, Pashka is asked to play a dog, getting the reply "How would he know how to play a dog when all of them have been eaten?" One day, while the child is playing with Beanpole, he is accidentally suffocated. When Masha gets the bad news, she announces that her friend "owes her," and since Masha is infertile due to removal of some organs, she demands that Beanpole become pregnant, the newborn to be handed over to Masha.
Beanpole is obviously afflicted with PTSD—she freezes like a statue which can easily be toppled over. In fact the director not only punctuates Beanpole's traumatic acting act but features a great many shots that last longer than anything you might see in a Hollywood movie. Dialogue, then, is only one aspect of the story: glacially-paced shots of people simply staring at one another makes this a film for an audience that is both patient and responsive to what happens to people in a war.
In a scene that could be called the film's one burst of humor, Sasha (Igor Shirocov), who could be used to act in a biopic about Putin given his resemblance to the Russian president as a youth, is behind the wheel of his car, but is pulled over the cushions into the back seat for a quickie with Masha. Later Sasha, whose family's residence recalls Orwell's "Animal Farm" which holds that "some people are more equal than others, is to introduce Masha as his girlfriend, soon to be his wife. The conversation between Masha and her potential mother-in-law is perhaps the strangest but most entertaining revelation of the film.
Strong performances from both Miroshnichenko and Perelygina anchor the film amid the impressive production design, making this feature Russia's Oscar entry for the 92nd Academy Awards. As best friends the two women look like the odd couple, as Miroshnichenko, who resembles Tilda Swinton, is just under six feet tall while Perelygina looks barely over five. Both are first-time performers who should have no problem getting a great many more parts.

Apache Rose's Attention! Album Review


text:
Written by Chris Bay
"Day or night, friendly or fight, doesn't feel right to me." These are the opening words to Basia Bulat's new album, and they set the tone for all that follows. Good Advice, the fourth LP by the Canadian artist, is a compelling collection that reflects on the ways we struggle with the end of a romantic relationship: self-deception, emptiness, internal conflict, and the difficulty of redefining oneself in its wake. It's also a major sonic shift from her previous work, with rich and resonant keyboards largely replacing the string-centric foundation -- acoustic guitar, autoharp, charango -- of her previous records.
While the content of the songs on Good Advice is rooted in personal experience for Bulat, her presentation has a universality that will resonate with anybody that's struggled with falling out of love. And while these topics certainly aren't unique in the world of popular music, her songs shake loose the facade of the breakup album canon, presenting something neither bitter nor hopeful, but rather beautifully honest.
In advance of her performance at Off Broadway on March 12 -- a show welcomed by 88.1 KDHX -- I spoke to Bulat about Good Advice, including the album's production, which was led by My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James.
Chris Bay: We're really looking forward to having you back in St. Louis. I guess it's a little over a week away.
Basia Bulat: I know! I'm excited to come back! Thanks for the [KDHX studio session] last time, it was really cool, and thanks for playing my music.
Chris: Of course, we love the new record. I was trying to remember the last time you were here. If I'm not mistaken, it was back in July with Tallest Man on Earth at the Pageant, right?
Basia: That's right! I opened for Tallest Man.
Chris: That was a great show. I think that was actually on my birthday, or a day or two either side, if not. And I seem to recall that you received a standing ovation at the end of your opening set, which is pretty rare for that venue.
Basia: I think it's pretty rare in general, to see that in an opening slot, it was magical. And of course, [Tallest Man on Earth frontman] Kristian's band are such nice, good people. Hopefully I've poached a couple of them.
Chris: Let's talk a little bit about the record. Can we call this a "breakup record"? Is that a valid characterization?
Basia: Some people are calling it that. It's an all-kinds-of-things record. Yeah, I think some people that liked it, I think that's the exciting story. But everything I want to say about that is on the record already.
Chris: That's fair. The making of the record is another key storyline, with Jim James doing the production. How did that relationship come about?
Basia: I gave him my record backstage at Austin City Limits years ago, my second album. And we'd run into each other off and on since he invited me to open a week of shows on his solo album tour, which was amazing, and we became friends over time. So I asked him if he'd be interested, because he's somebody I'd always dreamed of collaborating with in some way, and I wondered if he'd be interested in producing this record. So I sent him a couple of songs and he said, when can you come down to Louisville?
Chris: Did you have the songs wholly written and demoed when you went down? What state were they in when you arrived in Louisville to record?
Basia: I sent demoes to everybody before I went down there. We knew with the time that we had, it was just easier, and I had most of them written. It was a good idea to have something demoed.
Chris: That being said, they don't really sound much like the demos, so that's kind of cool, that they were able to live in different worlds, and grow into different kinds of beings on record than what they were when I first wrote them.
Basia: There are some key differences from your previous work, too. One that I wanted to pick out was the instrumentation. Autoharp, ukulele, charango, these have become hallmarks of your previous records, something that people identify with your sound. And those are pretty much absent, if I'm not mistaken, from this record entirely.
Chris: Well, you don't really realize what instrument's what, and that's kind of the cool part, that you can really play around with the sonic capabilities of each instrument. So they're definitely there, but it's definitely gone from a very documentary type of process -- like my early records are real documents of what's happening in the room -- to how can we kind of blend that documentary aspect that I really like, because I like the energy with those recordings, but I want to be able to play with the sounds in the studio.
Basia: It's kind of funny, especially in America, people like talking about the autoharp and the ukulele, but my first instrument is the piano. I've played piano my whole life. So playing keyboard and piano [on the new record] is kind of like coming home for me. I've avoided it as my main instrument for many years, for numerous reasons, but it felt like coming home this time around.
Chris: The autoharp is a foreign instrument for a lot of folks. Was it more common for you growing up?
Basia: No, I didn't grow up with it at all. I picked it up pretty much right when I made my first record. My neighbor was selling it at a yard sale. It wasn't something that I grew up with in the least. I grew up with a very classical music background; my mom was a piano teacher. So maybe that's something that I really liked about it. And I know that something I really liked about it is that there are a lot of ladies that play the autoharp. I saw all these amazing performances of Dolly Parton and Maybelle Carter and Joan Baez, great women singers and songwriters who I admire. I love the tradition behind the autoharp in that respect, for sure.
Chris: It's pretty easy, and kind of lazy, for people writing about new records to talk about the producer as if they're the person steering the ship, and their thumbprint defines record, but it's a collaborative process, obviously. Going into the studio with Jim for the first time, what was the working dynamic?
Basia: We're friends, and it's always fun to record with your friends. We were all on the same wavelength. I went down to try it out just for a few days, to see at first how we worked together. We thought maybe that would be best, maybe if I come down for a couple of days and see what we could come up with. So I drove down to Louisville and I went into the studio. Jim was playing bass, I was playing keyboards, our friend Dave was playing drums, and we quickly recorded "Time," almost exactly the way it is on the record. We barely changed or added anything to it from that first day. Though we added some strings at the end.
It really just felt like we had something, we were all on the same wavelength, something was fully formed coming out of what we were doing in the room. That's kind of what I mean, we still had this element of capturing live performance because we were recording first onto tape, and then we would play around a lot with different things. I was playing all of the keyboards, so then we would play around with keyboard sounds. But at the end of the day, a lot of it was happening live.
Chris: Taking the songs out of the studio with different players than are on the record, are they going to sound different? Is the goal to mimic the recordings?
Basia: You want it to be a little bit of both. You want to capture the energy of the record without karaoking to yourself, hopefully. I'm bringing the same keyboard -- I played this one keyboard from the '70s all over the record -- so we're lugging that beast around with us to all of the shows, which is pretty fun.
Chris: Some people, myself included, hear this record as a significant step in a different direction from what we've heard previously from you. Does it feel like that to you, or does it feel like more of a natural evolution?
Basia: I think it's both. You want to, as an artist, you want to grow and you don't want to repeat yourself. You don't want to do the same thing over and over again. I think anybody as a person doesn't want to do the same thing over and over again for their whole life. So that's kind of the magical thing, is that it's going to happen no matter what, and if you stay open to it, then it might just happen a little faster.

Enterprise iPhone to Face a Variety of Opportunities and Challenges
Apple eyes the corporate remote device space with its iPhone. But the popular consumer device faces hurdles to enterprise adoption.
Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple's March announcement that it will introduce an enterprise-ready version of its iPhone generated considerable buzz. But there still are questions around the popular device's viability as a corporate tool in financial services as well as other industries, observers say.
The enterprise iPhone is due to be released in June via a software update. Among the features that Apple says will transform this high-end consumer device into a business tool are full support for Microsoft's (Redmond, Wash.) Exchange corporate server with ActiveSync technology and increased security.
The upgraded Exchange support will allow Apple to deliver push capabilities for features such as e-mail, contacts, address lists, calendars and other enterprise-grade applications. This means that rather than wait for the device to query a company's servers for new information, the firm can push the data to the device in near real time. The enhanced security includes the capability to remotely wipe a device in case it is lost or stolen as well as support for Cisco's (San Jose, Calif.) IPsec virtual private network (VPN), certificates, identities and the WPA2/802.11x WiFi security standard.
"Originally, [the iPhone] didn't have the key elements to work in an enterprise," contends Ken Dulaney, VP and distinguished analyst with Gartner (Stamford, Conn.). "But with the introduction of [Apple's] Firmware 2.0 and the ActiveSync licensing, this gives Apple sufficient safeguards to be used in the enterprise."
Ahmed Datoo, VP of marketing at Zenprise, a Fremont, Calif.-based developer of software to monitor and troubleshoot BlackBerrys, says the move by Apple was overdue. "The biggest inhibitor to the iPhone entering the enterprise was its lack of push e-mail and calendar-sync capability," Datoo comments. "Apple did the right thing to license [Microsoft's] ActiveSync because the iPhone is now gaining access to security features critical to the enterprise. This is a great first step for Apple."
Is the iPhone Safe?
But Gartner's Dulaney cautions that the most appropriate business use of the iPhone is at the appliance level, rather than the platform level. The device's security and functionality are sufficient for users to perform actions such as sending and receiving e-mail and managing personal calendars, he explains. But the iPhone does not appear to be ready for PC-equivalent support on the platform-computing level, Dulaney asserts, noting that, in particular, the device's security is untested long-term.
"If [firms] expect to be able to place banking applications like CRM or business intelligence on the iPhone, it's not quite ready for this," Dulaney says. "But if you use something like salesforce.com, you can use that on the iPhone in a narrow manner since there are other hardware devices to support this."
Even though Apple enhanced the iPhone's security, Zenprise's Datoo adds, "There is still security risk associated with the iPhone, such as the camera or problems with Bluetooth where an outsider can connect to your device and read the content on it." Another vulnerability, he points out, is the limited ability to manage the devices. "IT needs the ability to restrict users from downloading applications on their own that may interfere with their company's core applications," Datoo says. "I don't think Apple really addressed this yet."
Gartner's Dulaney says Apple mentioned the iPhone Configuration Utility, which appears to be a management tool to help IT administrators manage the devices. "But we really don't know much about its capabilities yet," he comments. Dulaney adds that Apple is notorious for keeping new features and functionality under wraps. But, he says, this consumer marketing approach could be detrimental to corporate ambitions.
Another hurdle for the iPhone is the extent to which RIM's (Waterloo, Ontario) BlackBerry devices already are entrenched in corporate America. "Most IT executives I've talked to about the iPhone said they really don't need anything more to bring into enterprise IT," says Dulaney. "But they also realize [the iPhone] is a technological breakthrough and that they don't have much choice anymore. So they want to know how they can bring the iPhone into the enterprise in a somewhat controlled fashion."
"It will be tough for Apple," Zenprise's Datoo adds. "But wireless growth in the enterprise will be explosive over the next few years. Our customers double the number of mobile users they support every year."

If you were going to retire in 2008, you got a horrible wake-up call if your money was in stocks, bonds, or even real estate. It was one of the few times in history that almost every asset class went into the tank simultaneously. Unfortunately, retirees had to keep working, retire at a different level of income and lifestyle, or they ended up getting another job to supplement their income. As the stock market comes tumbling down, your broker says, "be patient, it will come back, just not right away". The only thing going up in your life during these times is your blood pressure.
When you have a Fixed Indexed Annuity, you have a unique tool in that it is built for the long haul. This particular annuity is like the car built for the apocalypse - it can survive even the most brutal of down markets and never lose you any of your hard-earned money. It looks pretty good getting you there too. Love that old Mercedes.
It's a fixed investment, contractually guaranteed by some of the largest insurance companies in America.
It's tied to stock market indexes like the S&P 500 but it is not "in" the market. When it goes up you get a portion of the index gains based on a formula.
YOU NEVER LOSE your principal or your previously locked in gains because of market declines. If the market goes down, your principal and previous gains are fully protected.
When you decide to retire and take you money out, you can take it in a lump-sum payment, or you can put a portion of or all of it into a lifetime income stream for yourself. You can even include your spouse.
When you deposit money into a Fixed Indexed Annuity it all goes in to your account and no charges, fees or commissions are taken out.
Annuities are offered in every state. There are a wide variety to choose from and finding the right one, at the right time, with the right overall strategy will keep you sane while you're saving and watching others lose. You will be able to sleep at night when the stock market is going crazy, and you'll reap some benefits when the stock market does well. Most importantly you will enjoy a sound and steady retirement. Learn more about annuities.


The Roman remains of Northern and Eastern France: A Guide Book by James Romwich published by Routledge (£75) is an admirable book apart from its rather ridiculous price. It covers an area hinging on Lyons, covering Lyons itself, and Paris to the west and Grenoble to the south. It is very much along the lines of the author's earlier book, The Roman Remains of Southern France – now available in paperback for a more reasonable £20.99. It takes four main areas and then describes some 20 or so sites in each in some considerable detail and, as far as I can see, with considerable authority. The author is something of a mystery figure – he is clearly not an academic, but an enthusiast who has tramped all the sites himself, taken lots of photos and managed to acquire copious and excellent site plans.
I imagine that this is the part of France which most of our readers pass through on their voyage further south, but this book provides an excellent reason to tarry and look at some of the local remains; let us hope that it is later published in paperback at a more reasonable price.

A: Yes. It is an exception: I am not in questions traditionally changes to aren't I. Present-day usage tends to forget about this rule.

For Immediate Release March 17, 1999
The following is the text of the citation for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which the President will present to George Mitchell:
Throughout his extraordinary career, George Mitchell has strived
to make real his vision of public service:  "to act for the
larger and common good."  Born of immigrant roots in his beloved
Maine, he learned early the importance of hard work and devotion
to family.  As a prosecutor, judge, United States Senator and
Majority Leader, he kept faith with those values and displayed a
deep love of country and commitment to justice.  As a determined
and creative international statesman, he was instrumental in
forging the historic Good Friday peace accord for Northern
Ireland.  For his outstanding service, both at home and abroad,
George Mitchell deserves our lasting gratitude.

Canadian Taxpayers Federation
CTF: Each Canadian owes $57,000 in government debt
Fifty-seven thousand dollars.
That's the average amount each Canadian will owe in provincial and federal government debt by the end of the year.
It's not just the rich or big corporations that will be mopping up this budget mess if politicians don't take some air out of their bloated budgets.
Politicians are already starting to try that strategy. But if you add up the luxury tax and tax on foreign homeowners in the recent federal budget, and throw in the wealth and excess profits tax the New Democrats are pushing for, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's 2021 deficit spending would still burn through that cash in about a month. Ordinary Canadians would be stuck with the bills for the other 11 months.
That's how staggering the borrowing has become.
"We're adding on more debt in six years than we did in previous 152 years combined," David Rosenberg, a Bay Street veteran, told BNN following the 2021 federal budget.
Canada's gross debt makes up 118 per cent of our GDP, which is the fifth highest among 29 industrialized countries examined by the International Monetary Fund. Even if we sold everything we produced in an entire year, we still couldn't pay off that government debt.
The provinces aren't a bunch of beauty pageant contestants either. Ontario is the most indebted subnational government in the world. Not too long ago Newfoundland and Labrador was worried about its ability "to pay its public service." And Alberta and Saskatchewan recently received credit downgrades.
It's not just the total debt that taxpayers need to be concerned with.
This year, interest charges on federal and provincial debts will cost each Canadian more than $1,000. That money can't go to health care or to put groceries on the table because it's going to the bond fund managers to service the government debt.
What happens if interest rates rise?
Last year, government interest charges cost Canadians about $50 billion. The Fraser Institute estimates that deficits in Canada would increase by another $17 billion if interest costs return to their 2019 levels. And they aren't the only economists sounding the alarm.
"Are we really going to make this assumption that interest rates are going to stay static for the next 10 or 20 years?" said Rosenberg. "I just find so many people have short memories against what happened in the 1970s into the 1980s, and then all the tough choices and the hardship to get our fiscal situation back into some mode of stability."
Those tough choices included the closing down of 52 hospitals on the prairies after "we left a fiscal situation in Saskatchewan until it was a crisis," according to former finance minister Janice Mackinnon.
That's a crucial lesson. Eventually politicians will be forced to make tough decisions, and it's better to tackle the debt challenges now before tougher choices are forced on us.
Here's another crucial lesson: the seeds to our debt problem were planted long before COVID-19.
It's important to keep the massively expensive COVID-19 spending temporary so these programs don't become permanent red ink.
But even before COVID-19, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau increased Canada's per person (and inflation adjusted) spending to heights never before seen. Instead of fulfilling his promise to balance the budget in 2019, Trudeau spent more than his predecessors did in any one year during the Second World War, Korean War, or during recessions in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.
Rather than taking his foot off the gas pedal, Trudeau is using COVID-19 to increase permanent federal government spending by $100 billion by 2026.
So how can Canadians shrink that $57,000 government debt bill?
Governments need to do what families and businesses have done: find ways to save money. Overspending has become habitual, but that doesn't mean it's inevitable. Taxpayers need to send a clear message that it's time for fiscal sanity.

Lo snake case, o snake_case, è la pratica di scrivere gli identificatori separando le parole che li compongono tramite trattino basso (o underscore: _), solitamente con le prime lettere delle singole parole in minuscolo, e la prima lettera dell'intero identificatore minuscola o maiuscola (es. "foo_bar" e "Hello_world"). È ampiamente usato nella programmazione per gli identificatori di variabili, funzioni o nomi di file. Almeno uno studio scientifico sostiene che lo snake case sia oggettivamente più leggibile del camel case, con tempi di reazione minori.

Storia
L'uso del trattino basso come separatore di parola risale agli anni 1960. Era spesso associato al C, per il quale venne usato nel testo di riferimento The C Programming Language (1978), in contrasto con la notazione Pascal case. Tuttavia, la convenzione rimase per lungo tempo senza un nome specifico, ad esempio il manuale di stile di Python si riferisce ad essa come "lower_case_with_underscores". Il termine "snake case" è stato introdotto dalla comunità Ruby, e il primo uso noto del termine risale ad un post usenet di Gavin Kistner nel 2004.

Linguaggi che usano snake case per convenzione

切梅林斯基论宪法 – 个人权利和自由
Chemerinsky on Constitutional Law – Individual Rights and Liberties
英语, 中文
Chemerinsky on Constitutional Law: Individual Rights and Liberties will highlight the construction and interpretation of the U.S. Constitution through the centuries with an emphasis on protections of individual liberties and the evolution of equal protection. You'll learn the history behind the Constitution, cases that formed important precedent, and how changes in interpretation have been dependent on shifts in cultural and political climate as well as the composition of the Supreme Court.
In this course we will investigate the protection of individual rights and liberties and take a look at what rights are and are not protected and investigate several important shifts in jurisprudence. We'll begin by examining the structure of the Constitution's protection of individual rights. We'll then examine the circumstances under which, various rights and liberties can be regulated by the federal, state, and local government. We'll examine when the government can permissibly treat people unequally and when it can't. In our final two lectures, we'll take a close look at what is probably the most famous amendment to the Constitution, the First Amendment.
Join me as we look at the questions both raised and answered by the Constitution and those that interpret it!
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
– Describe the individual liberties protected by the Constitution and account for the history and structure of their protection
– Illustrate compromises found in the Constitution by citing examples and historic background
– Articulate the importance of key cases such as Brown v. Board, Lemon v. Kurtzman, and Lochner v. New York
– Explain how the outcome of cases is often dependent upon the current cultural and political climate as well as the composition of the court by citing particular cases and important shifts in the court's jurisprudence
– Assess the relative suitability of various approaches to constitutional interpretation and analysis
Welcome - Let's Get Started
Lecture 6 (in the series) - The Structure of the Constitution's Protection of Individual Liberties
How are individual rights protected? In this module we'll take a look at three of the structures that protect our individual liberties: the state action doctrine, the application of the bill of rights to the states, and the levels of scrutiny principle.
Lecture 7 (in the series) - Individual Liberties
What rights are enumerated in the Constitution? How has the court's understanding and protection of these rights evolved? In this lecture we'll become familiar with the rights that are both specifically enumerated and implied by the text of the Constitution.
Lecture 8 (in the series) - Equal Protection
In this module we'll examine how equal protection has been applied to different suspect classifications such as race, gender, citizenship, and more. In addition, we will consider how the court has used levels of scrutiny in order to determine when the government can permissibly discriminate based upon suspect classifications.
Lecture 9 (in the series) - The First Amendment: Expression
Why is freedom of speech protected as a fundamental right? What is its importance? In this module we'll review four possible answers to this question. We'll also examine the basic principles that guide the Supreme Court's methodology when examining questions of free speech. Finally, we'll take a look at the types of speech that have not been traditionally protected and the limitations that can be imposed on where protected forms of speech can be exercised.
Lecture 10 (in the series) - The First Amendment: Religion
In our final lecture module, we'll briefly examine the Lemon Test, named after the Lemon v. Kurtzman case in which it was first articulated, to see how the court has evaluated cases regarding the Establishment Clause. We'll also take a look at how the court decides questions regarding the Free Exercise Clause.
As the course draws to a final close, we would like to thank you for your participation.
