If you were to meet a farmer who expected to harvest a full, healthy crop every single day, you's laugh that person right off his tractor. Such an expectation would be completely ridiculous. Everybody, and especially every farmer, knows that the harvest only comes in a certain season, and it will never come if one does not take the time to plant the seeds and tend to the crops. In fact, out of the twelve months in a year, the harvest generally occurs over a maximum of two months. That's less than 20% of the work year. That means that 80% of the farmer's time is spent plowing, planting, and preparing for the harvest. The harvest only comes in when all the prep work is done effectively. Their job is to farm, not to harvest.
Why should our creative work be any different? Most of us believe in the false notion that we can live in a constant state of harvest, always reaping the benefits of popular work. The reality though, is the harvest is only a short season. And without the hard work of honing and refining our craft or product, it won't be a very profitable one.
Harvesting is not the farmer's main job. Farming is. Harvesting is the short-lived, but satisfying reward of farming well done.
Those who sow would surely come in again rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.
Finally catching up with all the blogs again!
I just said it to my students this weak. You won't achieve your dreams in the future if today you're doing nothing to get there. Future is a journey starting for today.
New to your blog and I'm impressed, writing from South Africa I'm a big fan of what you do but a bigger fan of what God does through you.
This story is a good description of what discipleship is. Farming is the main focus and a good harvest only comes from good farming.

Wrapping up: A report on October's meeting, 4 Generations of the Gunderson Funeral Home
Posted by eastsidehistorymadison on November 27, 2016
Pete Gunderson, 3rd generation, presented to our club on October 15, 2016.
Imagine our surprise when Pete Gunderson wheeled in three caskets to the Goodman Community Center for the East Side History Club meeting on October 15th. He said he would be bringing some historical items for his talk on the history of the Gunderson Funeral Home and on past and current funeral practices but we didn't expect two full size caskets (one was a beautiful new wicker biodegradable casket and the other was an older traditional Norwegian casket) as well as an historic child's casket (with a window so people could see the face of the child and not catch whatever communicable disease the child had died from).
Child's casket with window is visible behind Gunderson Funeral Home memorabilia.
Traditional Norwegian casket
Modern wicker biodegradable casket
Pete Gunderson is the third generation of Gundersons to be funeral directors on Madison's East Side, joining the firm in 1982. Pete's son, Matt, is the fourth generation.
Pete's grandparents, Elmer and Inez Gunderson, started the business from their home at 1932 Winnebago St. in 1922. Elmer had been a medic during World War I, transporting and handling the bodies of soldiers who died on the battlefield. After the war, he came to Madison and worked for the funeral director Otto Schroeder on King Street. He decided to attend embalming school so that he could start his own funeral business.
Gunderson residence and first funeral home at 1932 Winnebago Street, Madison.
In 1926 Elmer and Inez built a beautiful new funeral parlor at 1936 Winnebago Street.
Unfortunately, in 1940, at the age of 45, Elmer died of a heart attack. His wife Inez had 7 young children to raise (5 daughters, 2 sons) so she went to the Worsham College of Mortuary Science in Chicago and took over the business, involving the children in various tasks until they left home.
Bob Gunderson, Pete's father, was only 14 years old when his father died. He helped his mother the best he could until he graduated from East High School in 1944. After serving in WW II and attending the UW he went to the Wisconsin Institute of Mortuary Science in Milwaukee to become a licensed funeral director. Under his and his mother's leadership, the business thrived. They built a new facility at 5203 Monona Drive in 1956 and acquiring 6 other funeral homes in the Madison area.
The original Gunderson home and funeral parlor was physically moved from 1936 Winnebago St to 107 Dunning St. in 1956.
The Winnebago Street funeral home continued to be used until the property was sold to Security State Bank for their expansion in 1965.
Inez Gunderson died in 1987 at the age of 91. She had married Elmer in 1914 and became president of the funeral home after this death and continued until her retirement.
Her son Bob died in 2005 at age 79. He had been in the business for more than 50 years.

Dean Clinic subject brought past employees, patients to November meeting
On Nov. 12th the East Side History Club heard Bob Kann, (http://www.bobkann.com/ ) talk about the Doctors Dean and the history of the Dean Clinic and the practice of medicine from 1904 through the 1950s.
Bob became interested in the Dean Clinic's history while researching the history of St. Mary's Hospital. https://stmarys100stories.wordpress.com/
Dr. Joseph Dean Sr. helped to found St. Mary's and his brother, two sons and grandson became doctors, in part due to Dr. Dean's example of unselfish devotion to serving his patients and the community. For more on the history of the Dean Medical Group see http://www.deancare.com/about-us/history/
The East Madison Clinic became a part of Dean Medical Group in 1982 due in large part to the State's requirement that medical groups offer a type of health insurance called HMO (Health Maintenance Organization). Rather than form its own the Clinic decided to join the Dean organization.
Attending the November meeting were a group of former employees, including two retired physicians, of the East Madison Clinic who spoke highly of the close working and social relationships that developed at the clinic, due in part to the very small building where it was located.
Dr. Cyrus Reznichek came to Madison to practice medicine in 1935. In 1945 he founded the EMC with Drs. Eugene Skroch, R.J. Hennen, and William Meisekothen. They opened their offices in the Simley Building, 2037 Winnebago St. In 1956 the Clinic built their own building at 1912 Atwood Ave.
The clinic was primarily a general practice clinic but over time they added doctors who were trained in various specialties. By 1969 there were 12 doctors plus staff working under very crowded conditions so the building was enlarged.
It was torn down after the clinic moved to a new, much larger building on 1821 South Stoughton Road in 2004.
November 12 meeting: History of the Dean Clinic

#TimesUp for everyone
Breana PerezFebruary 28, 2018
During this year's Golden Globes, actresses, actors, and directors wore black and pins that had the words "Time's Up" on them in order to show support to women who have been victims of sexual harassment, abuse, or assault in the workplace.
The idea of wearing black to the Golden Globes came from the movement "Time's Up," which was founded this year in response to the Weinstein effect and #MeToo. Seeing many of these celebrities supporting this movement at the Golden Globes or even at home was inspiring and touching to see but ignited anger and frustration in many people.
Due to many people participating in this movement, many of the celebrities who posted about showing support towards this movement have worked with directors or actors who have had abuse and rape allegations against them. Some actors and directors wore the pin or wore black despite them being abusers themselves (the part that outraged people the most).
Lily-Rose Depp, actress and model, posted about this movement with the knowledge that her father, actor Johnny Depp, had previously abused his ex-wife, Amber Heard. When the allegations first came out about the abuse, Lily-Rose posted two pictures to her Instagram of an article saying that he was not guilty (despite Heard who had proof that he in fact did abuse her by picture and video) and another picture of her and her father when she was younger with the caption, "My dad is the sweetest most loving person I know, he's been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows would say the same."
Selena Gomez and Timothée Chalamet also showed support towards Time's Up, yet despite appearing in an upcoming Woody Allen film, "A Rainy Day in New York."
Allen has allegations from his own step-daughter, Dylan Farrow, claiming that when she younger, Allen committed acts that were inappropriate.
Ironically enough, men like Christian Slater and James Franco proudly wore black and had the "Time's Up" pins on their suits despite both men having past history that goes against what the whole movement is about.
Mylee Etuale stated, "I think it is hypocritical that celebrities claim to stand against abuse in the workplace and yet work with known abusers. Although it is for a good cause, it is not helping."
Despite many celebrities being hypocrites, we can always still help and take part in the Time's Up movement here at Carson High School and most importantly outside of school and end rape culture. Speak out when it comes to standing up for both women and men in situations where abuse might be taking place.

Q: How in the context of the terms, links to category pages I create? I am a articles
I want anywhere in the article that my words were classified, the word is automatically linked to the category
i do it by preg_replace like this
$text = preg_replace('(hello|word1|word2)', 'word', $text);
$text = preg_replace('(word3|hello word|word4)', 'word', $text);

but when the word "hello world" exist on paper, "hello" is the link to the "$link1" and "word" can not link

A: You can use the Negative Lookahead (?! ) feature to not match hello string followed by world string on the first regexp, like this example:
$text = preg_replace('(hello(?! world)|word1|word2)', 'word', $text);
$text = preg_replace('(word3|hello world|word4)', 'word', $text);

PS: note that there is a typo in your second regexp: hello word instead hello world

Mars Is Getting Closer As SpaceX Lands Another $500 Million
SpaceX authorized enough shares for a $500 million raise at a valuation of $29 billion, if all shares authorized are issued. The rocket and spacecraft company was founded by Elon Musk in 2002 and has been making history ever since.
SpaceX has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company capable of returning a spacecraft from low Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in 2010. The company made history again in 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft became the first commercial spacecraft to deliver cargo to and from the International Space Station.
SpaceX successfully achieved the historic first reflight of an orbital class rocket in 2017, and the company now regularly launches flight-proven rockets. In 2018, SpaceX began launching Falcon Heavy, the world's most powerful operational rocket by a factor of two.
The most recent round, Series K, follows the $273 million raised for Series J valuing the company at $26.12 billion. The terms surrounding the Series K include a Senior liquidation, meaning they will get paid first, and conventional convertible meaning they will not participate with common stock if there are remaining proceeds. The most recent price per share is $204.00, an up round from Series J at $186.00. Interesting enough is that Series A thru F are all under $10.00 a share, it wasn't until the 2015 round backed by Google, Fidelity, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, The Founders Fund, Valor Equity Partners, and Capricorn Investment Group that made the price per share skyrocket 10x+ the previous round.
SpaceX is currently a Prime Unicorn Index component. Here's how they are currently tracking against the index:

Anybody got any idea what I would need to set a background colour as (CMYK) to print a rich black. It would need to be the darkest, richest black possible?
Perhaps a little more information on the project would help, such as obviously this is for print, but is it for business cards that will have very small writing on it, and magazine advert - will the text over the black be large and blocky, or will it be small and fine??
How will the project be printed?
If it is an advert, will it ever be used in newspaper print?
Mark has a good point. Further information on text size would be relevant.
If it is text heavy never use 4 plate (rich black) as the printer then has to trap 4 plates perfectly or your text is going to be blurred.
Most printers like to use anywhere between 250% - 300% ink limit (density), any more than that and the paper will be coated with too much ink and can wrinkle.
If its for newspaper or thin magazine articles then you are best to limit your total ink density to 225%.
This CMYK business is quite complex. That's another thing I'll have to learn, I guess it comes with experience though.
Yup know all about that with doing adverts for papers.
Thanks guys, it is just for a business card and the text is quite bold so no worries with regards to really thin text.
Or should I go with something higher like Pixel suggests?
Some good info there guys, as Col mentions if fine detail isn't an issue we would suggest 100% Black and 30% for the remaining 3 colours.
You could just ask the printers what rich black would work best on their press.
A fair bit of my own design is for newspapers THIS IS ONE OF MINE, AND ANOTHER (the Rotty ones do like black for some reason) They both printed 100% correct, considering who printed and the fact it was on the next step up from bog roll, as Steve mentions. Both the above blacks where produced using 20%Cyan and 100% Black with nothing much else.
The one thing you really got to be carefull of is the size and "fine-ness" (if thats even a word) of any text on top of the black, it's not really an issue for digital print, but for litho and ESPECIALLY newspaper print - newspaper print can shift out of register, and if you look at some of the cheaply produced newspapers (usually the freeby local rags) you may see this, especially if it's a friday afternoon print run:icon_rolleyes: .
Yea - looks horrible when the plates go out of alignment and you have fine text on black - just goes wrong in newspapers.

Former Broncos, Cowboys pass rusher DeMarcus Ware thinks the Patriots will be one-and-done in the playoffs
That would be a major surprise.

Share All sharing options for: Former Broncos, Cowboys pass rusher DeMarcus Ware thinks the Patriots will be one-and-done in the playoffs

The New England Patriots have reached the AFC Championship Game for six straight seasons and they just need to win one playoff game this year to make it make. It's probable that every single oddsmaker would say that it's more likely than not that the Patriots will win a playoff game.
Just don't tell that to former Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos pass rusher DeMarcus Ware, who made an extremely bold prediction last week.
"It's funny that I feel like the Patriots will be one-and-done in the playoffs," Ware said on NFL Network's show Players Only. "And the reason why I say that is because they have not played teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars. They still got to play the Pittsburgh Steelers again. They got to play teams that can really bring pressure and when those pressure situations come on [Tom] Brady, you know what's going to happen: he folds. He did the same in the [2015] AFC Championship against the Denver Broncos, the Miami Dolphins and so [...] one-and-done. [Brady's] going to fold [under pressure]."
Whew. That's a spicy take for a lot of reasons.
The Patriots cannot play the Steelers in their first playoff game and will only play the Jaguars if New England falls to the New York Jets in week 17 and the Jaguars win their wild card game. Jacksonville is locked in to the #3 seed, so the Patriots would hav eto be the #2 seed to face them in the divisional round.
So the two teams that Ware proposes as teams capable of defeating the Patriots are extremely unlikely opponents for New England's first postseason game.
The teams the Patriots are more likely to face in the divisional round are the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans, Los Angeles Chargers, or the Buffalo Bills. They all feature some pretty great pass rushers, with the Chargers having arguably the best pass rushing duo in the NFL with Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa.
But the Patriots have a 3-1 record against these teams in 2017 and Tom Brady has gone 15-2 against these teams over the past five seasons, including postseason wins against both the Ravens and Chiefs (both losses were to the Chiefs and I'm not counting a 2014 week 17 loss to the Bills when the Patriots rested their starters).
Past ten seasons by Tom Brady against the possible AFC playoff teams:
PIT 7-1
JAX 4-0
KC 2-2 (not including 2008 opener)
BAL 7-3
TEN 3-0
LAC 6-0
BUF 17-1 (not including 2014 finale without starters)
Total 46-7
— Rich Hill (@PP_Rich_Hill) December 27, 2017
Unless the Patriots are playing the Chiefs early in the regular season or magic Joe Flacco, New England is capable of taking care of business against these opponents.
And then there's the idea that Tom Brady "folds" under pressure. That is true, to a certain extent as Brady does play worse under pressure (as does every quarterback in the NFL).
But both of those games mentioned were one-score games and unless the 2015 Broncos defense is walking through the door against a team with the worst offensive line of the Bill Belichick era and Steven Jackson at running back, or Brady is missing both Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski in Miami, the Patriots are not going to succumb as obviously to the pressure.
Ware seems to be projecting the 2015 Broncos success against the Patriots, which simply isn't going to be replicated prior to New England's first playoff game, barring a series of incredibly unfortunate injuries in the regular season finale.

"Substantial" reduction in serious violence across Wales and England
Researchers from Cardiff University have found a "substantial" reduction in serious violence across Wales and England.
They found a reduction in the number of people having to go to hospital over the last five years.

Our study is very encouraging in demonstrating a consistent and substantial decline in violence in England and Wales, including among children.
There is increasing evidence to suggest that this decline can be attributed in part to public health interventions and improved information-sharing between health services, police and local government.
– Professor Jonathan Shepherd, Director of the Violence Research Group at Cardiff University
Researchers also think a decline in alcohol consumption has helped the situation, but do add there are areas of concern with young men between 18 - 30 still the most likely to be injured in violence.
Cardiff scientists step towards cancer breakthrough

Hallucinations: how they emerge
Credit: Cardiff University
Take a look at the image above. It probably looks like a meaningless pattern of black and white blotches.
But now take a look at the image below and then return to the picture: it's likely that you can now make sense of the black and white image.
It is this ability that scientists at Cardiff University and the University of Cambridge believe could help explain why some people are prone to hallucinations.
Researchers are exploring the idea that hallucinations come from our normal tendency to interpret the world around us by making use of predictions.
Our brains fill in any missing information by using past experiences.
A bewildering and often very frightening experience in some mental illnesses is psychosis – a loss of contact with external reality. Hallucinations can accompany psychosis.
Researchers showed black and white images to individuals showing the very early signs of psychosis along with healthy volunteers.
They were asked whether or not the image contained a person.
They were then shown a series of full colour original images, including those from which the black and white images had been derived.
The researchers reasoned that, since hallucinations may come from a greater tendency to superimpose one's predictions on the world, people who were prone to hallucinations would be better at using this information.
They found a larger performance improvement in people with very early signs of psychosis in comparison to the healthy control group.
Cybercrime 'poses huge challenge'
Credit: Boris Roessler/DPA/PA Images
A report by Cardiff University is highlighting the scale of cybercrime.
It says 106,681 fraud-related incidents were reported by individuals and businesses in the last three months of last year. A third related to banking and credit industry fraud.
Losses totalled £217.4m in 2014
The introduction of sophisticated technology has brought about a step-change in the way economic crime is committed – enabling frauds to be perpetrated at scale, at great speed, and at a distance, with no physical contact necessary between criminal and victim.
This type of crime challenges conventional policing models which are focused on detection and investigation because it represents a paradigm shift in the way such crimes can be committed. Policing – both in the UK and around the world – therefore faces many challenges in adapting and responding to these evolving patterns of crime.

The Herschel and Plank project teams have been given this year's American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Space Systems Award.
Cardiff University's Astronomy Instrumentation Group was involved in the design of Herschel's SPIRE instrument. Members of the School of Physics and Astronomy are analysing data from the equipment.
Herschel, which operated from May 2009 until April 2013, carried the largest telescope ever built for a space observatory. Its 3.5 m-diameter primary mirror collected long-wavelength radiation from some of the coldest and most distant objects in the Universe, which was analysed with a payload of three scientific instruments.
The Planck satellite was designed to probe the remnants of the radiation that filled the Universe immediately after the Big Bang. It did this with a payload of two instruments that required innovative cooling technology to maintain them at a fraction of a degree above absolute zero.
Cardiff researchers in project to make cities 'greener'

Cardiff University has been awarded one of 14 research grants to develop 'green infrastructure' in urban areas around the world.
Urban forestry is one example in which woodland is planted in cities to manage storm water and reduce city temperatures.
Another example is 'green roofing', whereby roofs are partially or completely covered in vegetation to absorb rainwater, increase insulation and, again, reduce the temperature in cities to combat the so called 'heat island effect'.
By taking advantage of the multiple benefits of green infrastructure, we hope to provide substantial economic, social and environmental gains not only for the US and Europe, but also developing countries around the world. To do this, we will need to develop approaches that are sensitive to local culture, knowledge and expertise

'Shaken baby syndrome' test developed in Cardiff
Experts at Cardiff University have developed a test to help doctors diagnose so-called shaken baby syndrome.
Abusive Head Trauma (AHT) is the leading cause of death amongst abused children. The method employs a simple checklist of 6 signs to look for.
It is estimated that as many as 34 in every 100,000 infants less than one year of age are victims of AHT, though the true figure is unknown because many cases of AHT are missed and others may not come to the attention of clinicians.
It is vitally important that abusive head trauma is diagnosed accurately so that the team looking after the child can ensure that they receive appropriate support and are protected from further harm.
"Arriving at these decisions can be extremely difficult, especially for doctors who do not see many cases of severe child abuse. This study offers a prediction tool to help doctors make these extremely important decisions, where the life or death of a child often hangs in the balance."
– Professor Alison Kemp, Cardiff University's School of Medicine

The children of former soldiers of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL) seek recognition for "a forgotten chapter in their history". Moluccans who came to the Netherlands as KNIL soldiers in 1951 were not always allowed to bring all their children, resulting in around 300 children being left behind, according to Maluku4Maluku, a foundation committed to getting recognition for Moluccan KNIL soldiers, NOS reports.
A total of 4,400 people applied for asylum in the Netherlands in the third quarter of this year, and 2,300 people joined family members that already have residency in the country, Statistics Netherlands reports. This is the first time since the third quarter of 2016 that the number of new asylum requests is higher than family reunification applications.
The municipality of Rotterdam wants to accommodate 12 refugees - asylum seekers with a residency permit - in Hoogvliet. These are men waiting for their families to arrive under the family reunification regulation. According to the plan, they will stay in the neighborhood for up to two years.
During the first half of this year the Koninklijke Marechaussee discovered a record number of undocumented migrants in the Netherlands. In total 1,120 undocumented migrants were found, 700 moe than in the same period last year, according to a report State Secretary Klaas Dijkhoff of Security and Justice released on Tuesday, ANP reports.
The number of asylum seekers that arrived in the Netherlands last month dropped by half compared to May 2015. About a quarter of these asylum seekers came from Syria, according to figures Statistics Netherlands published on Monday.
An increasing number of asylum seekers are leaving the Netherlands voluntarily because they are discouraged by the Dutch asylum procedure, according the International Organization for Migration, the nongovernmental organizations that helps migrants with their voluntary return. "Under the current high influx of asylum seekers, there are many who choose for voluntary return relatively soon after arrival", a spokesperson said to the Volkskrant. "They get discouraged because it takes a long time to gain asylum and to have their family come over."
New October asylum requests shatter previous record by 40 pct.
The number of newly registered asylum seekers and refugees joining family members reached a record high of 11.7 thousand in October. In September there were 8.4 thousand.

Lockdown Roundup: Lucy Railton, Melaine Dalibert, James Rushford
Responses to Covid-19 are coming thick and fast now. Quarantined from the wider world, musicians are making music alone, where they can. Cafe Oto, the bold experimental music venue in London, has responded to the enforced downtime by launching Takuroku, a new netlabel dedicated to recordings produced under lockdown. As you might expect, the dominant mood right now is directed by isolation; introspective and melancholy – at least based on the three I've listened to so far. (In case I'm seeming more interested in analysis than advocacy, I'd recommend each of these three to the curious.)
Lucy Railton's Lament in Three Parts adds hidden depths to this emotional state. Her work for solo cello with some additional electronics was improvised on one day in late April, with processing added a couple of days later. The music sounds much more substantial than this description suggests: as an improvisation, it definitely draws upon something that has been stored up for some time. Railton's recent compositional work has extended beyond her cello into the use of electronics and field recordings. Earlier this year, she presented a sophisticated collaboration with synthesiser pioneer Peter Zinovieff, RFG Inventions for Cello and Computer. Lament distills Railton's music and moves the focus away from technology: when electronics first appear at the end of the first part, it sounds like amplified bowing adding a further sighing texture to the slow chorale. Part two is a sombre melody that passes almost monophonically for its first half (I'm no expert but it sounds like she's using Pythagorean intonation). The briefer final part resolves the preceding long line with an otherworldly sheen, the electronics adding just enough to transform the cello into something strange yet still beautiful.
My previous exposure to Melaine Dalibert consists entirely of two solo piano works which I did not like. Un Long Ralentissement is another piano piece, made as a specific response to the pandemic. As before, Dalibert takes an almost obstinately theoretical approach as justification for his carefully placed single tones, but this time it works musically. Preciousness has yielded to tenderness, and the understated rallentando adds a flexibility and flow to this slow music. The process of things slowing down is experienced, not just demonstrated, and there's a humanising element present in the recording that makes this piece perversely relevant.
I've just done James Rushford recently but here's another solo piece, this time made as a direct result of lockdown. Ouarzazate is a solo performance on a Rhodes electric keyboard. It is thirty-eight goddamn minutes long; almost twice the length of the Railton and Dalibert pieces. The contrast in his approach to the keyboard compared to his organ piece Clerestory is instructive. To work with such a limited timbral palette over such a long, unbroken span of time, you've got to be good. Rushford's playing starts contrapuntally, generously paced enough to open up contemplation yet never lingering, lest momentum be lost to aimless meandering. It keeps the mind guessing with occasional leaps in register and changes in pitch sets, opening up one fork in the path after another.

Pianos (I): Parkinson Dalibert Pateras
For reasons economical as much as ideological the piano has become the one-man* laboratory for the composer as autonomous author or auteur using the instrument as a vehicle for musical manifestos. Music and ideas about music have become inseparable to the extent that to try such a separation is a theoretical statement in itself. That could be heard as a less direct demonstration of an aesthetic argument. In a similar way each piece of music may be heard as exemplifying a certain theoretical principle to a greater or lesser degree. When Feldman protested that he abjured systems he created a new means of approach for other composers to follow.
You make music out of sounds and not ideas but composition as a demonstration of a theoretical principle can be very direct and unadorned yet still be aesthetically pleasing or at least interesting even if nobody really wants to play the first part of Boulez's Structures and skips straight to Book 2. Tom Johnson has created an oeuvre of compositions that rigorously follow even the simplest and most predictable processes yet can charm and delight through a counterintuitive adherence to an obvious pattern. The reason things get unexpectedly complicated is because there is a difference between letting a theory play out in your imagination and experiencing it as a physical acoustic phenomenon. If the idea is evident then it has to operate on musical terms.
I've been listening to Philip Thomas play two of Tim Parkinson's eponymous piano pieces released by Wandelweiser a while back. The two pieces from 2006 and 2007 are discontinuous and ostensibly anonymous. Unconnected gestures and patterns separated by pauses accumulate in an arbitrary sequence. Parkinson describes the earlier piece as a constant state of beginning that is beginning with nothing. An echo of Cage's dictum of chance starting over from zero at every instance comes to mind but here it is not chance but performance. Patterns of piano playing come to mind and are reflected on when starting over again. The latter piece is described in terms of work. Writing and playing in a given space of time and finding things new whether by playing something new or playing something heard before but hearing it new. In each case a give-and-take between the composer and the instrument reveals something unexpected.
I don't know much about Melaine Dalibert's music or his new album Ressac on Another Timbre. His plays two of his own compositions for solo piano. Like on the Parkison album the pieces are written in successive years. The 2014 piece is short and the second from the following year is long. Other than length it is difficult to tell the two apart. Each one is made entirely of single notes spaced widely apart with each note left to fade away. It gets monotonous but as each pitch is different from the next it is never monotonous enough to become interesting. Apparently there is some algorithm behind the sequence of pitches but this conceptual process is not demonstrated in an interesting way. The two pieces demonstrate nothing more than an idea that need not be heard. Letting each note decay so completely unfortunately recalls a previously fashionable style of 'holy minimalism' that assigned a superstitious reverence to each note played.
Two more piano pieces again played by the composer on Anthony Pateras's Immediata release Blood Stretched Out. I've just looked and yes again the pieces are from successive years albeit in reverse order. Chronochromatics from 2013 plays like the latter Tim Parkinson piece albeit filtered through Pateras' more manic sensibility. His programme notes list a set of ideas ideals idle thoughts obsessions and reference points which may well constitute the score for the piece. There may be autobiography in here encoded into the patchwork of allusions exercises and outbursts. As with the Parkinson anything familiar is rendered strange through context. As an idea the piece Blood Stretched Out seems simpler upon hearing it although the act of playing it seems much more arduous. An extended trill that thunders away for nearly 45 minutes would sound on the surface as a single exercise in timbre. The sleeve notes to this work are in the form of a diary compiled over two years collating thoughts on culture and music equally with reflections on society and philosophy. The opening of the piece establishes a parallel with Wagner and then starts to transform itself in a defiant attempt to break through the constraints of multiple traditions to which the most progressive musician may paradoxically find themselves bound. To distance oneself from classical tradition now puts one in debt to the past century of the avant-garde and to renounce both leads into an equally burdened history of improvisation. Pateras has carefully considered the odds and the options before deciding to launch a full-frontal attack in which competing ideas are subsumed entirely by acoustic phenomena.

Nisshin Shipping is celebrating a half-century in business with a 61-ship newbuilding investment that will more than double its fleet.
The ordering spree has turned Nisshin into Japan's fastest-growing shipowner, and its 116 vessels will make it the country's third-largest independent tonnage supplier behind Shoei Kisen and Nissen Shipping.
The growth has been orchestrated under the leadership of president and founder Y Fujii, now in his 80s, who has his own way of doing business. It is very different from that of his compatriots.
His current spate of counter-cyclical newbuilding investment has been likened more to the Greek-style business model of asset play than the long-term, charter-driven industrial strategy typical of Japanese owners.
However, Fujii likes to keep the business low-key. The company did not want to be interviewed as part of this feature and is hardly covered even by the local trade press.
Those close to Nisshin say it guards its commercial information closely and does not even hand out its vessel position list to anyone.
The company's history began when Fujii was in his 30s and decided to quit his job in dry bulk parcelling, believing he could do things better his way.
Fujii built up the Nisshin business from scratch and based it in Tokyo, well away from the traditional shipowning regions of Hiroshima and Ehime around Japan's inland sea where the big private owners operate.
In the early days he got the company off the ground by buying ships for the inter-Asian trades between Japan and South Korea.
But gradually it grew through newbuildings based on charters with foreign operators and traders for one to three years.
"Fujii is extremely internationally minded and that is really why most of his ships are chartered out to non-Japanese operators," says a source.
Its client list has grown to include leading Western dry bulk operators such as Cargill, Western Bulk and Ultra Bulk, while a series of 19,000-dwt chemical tankers on order at Usuki are heading for Ultranav and Nordic Tankers. Its only real Japanese client is NYK Line.
With the big three Japanese operators, NYK, MOL and K Line, cutting back their dry bulk fleets, other local tonnage suppliers are starting to copy Fujii's model more closely.
Nisshin has always believed it could get better market-based deals from non-Japanese companies. Traditional Japanese charter deals tend to be for longer periods and as a result operate on tighter profit margins for the owner.
The focus on medium-term non-Japanese business increased the risk for the company and encouraged it to secure its tonnage at more competitive terms than it could get at home. It searched for better value abroad.
As a result Nisshin has developed strong relationships with foreign brokers on the S&P and chartering side, such as Maersk Broker and Howe Robinson, and is increasingly ordering in China.
Apart from the 10 Usuki chemical tankers and 14 ultramax bulkers at Oshima, all of its 61 newbuildings have been ordered in China at Jiangsu Hantong and Nantong Xiangyu.
Its closest rival, Nissen, on the other hand, has ordered only eight of its current 38 newbuildings outside Japan.
Nisshin has also shunned domestic classification society ClassNK, which is used by other Japanese owners, even for ships built abroad.
Instead, it works almost exclusively with France's Bureau Veritas, which is strong in areas Nisshin likes to work in, such as Chinese-built bulkers. Now, Nisshin is even bringing in Bureau Veritas to class its Usuki-built chemical tankers.
The company has also built up close relationships with the Philippines, rather than Panama, the traditional flag of convenience for Japanese owners. Only four of its current trading fleet are registered in Panama, the rest flag in the Philippines.
This close relationship has been established through Nisshin's Manila-based technical management team, Victoria Shipmanagement. Again, that is in contrast to the typical Japanese route whereby owners setting up technical management abroad have tended to go to Singapore.
The only area in which Nisshin has not strayed from the typical Japanese path is through its third-party liability insurance, which it has kept mostly with the Japan P&I Club, even though many other owners have been tempted to switch to Britannia, North and the UK P&I Club.

Thousands of educators are rallying in our state capitol today to raise their voices in support of many things they see inadequate in North Carolina, including student and textbook funding, resources for school safety, and an appropriate, professional respect for teachers.
Our Schools First began as an organization dedicated to securing resources to build school buildings in Iredell County, but our cause has since expanded. (Read our platform for public education here.) We believe that teachers deserve a professional wage, that students should have the resources they need to learn best, and that school facilities should be safe, warm, and geared for learning.
We also exist to work with our legislators, representatives, commissioners, councilmen, and other elected officials to help accomplish these changes.
Here in Iredell County, we are well under way with the building effort achieved thanks to the 2014 bond referendum, which has provided more than $130 million for school construction and renovation in Iredell-Statesville and Mooresville Graded Schools and at Mitchell Community College. But there is still work to be done.
Our local supplements for teacher salaries have fallen, and the county lacks resources to restore them. There are a few ways to solve this problem, but none will be accomplished without the support of our elected officials and you, our fellow voters.
This summer, our goal is to communicate updates regarding legislative progress from Raleigh and the effort to secure more dollars to support teachers locally. We need your help.
So let's keep the momentum going. Follow us on Facebook, sign up for our email list, and if you do both of those things already, share with your education-supporting friends what we're about, and ask them to sign up, too.
We've proven in 2014 that we can accomplish great things. With your simple support, we can accomplish better public schools, together.


There are many prophetic types and shadows regarding current events surrounding the Middle East. One of them is the declaration of the Islamic State as a caliphate to conquer the world and establish Sharia Law–the peace of Islam. It is behaving as like the Bible describes "to take a spoil" (Ezekiel 37:9, Isaiah 10:6) and beheading those who will not convert to Islam so they can live, eat, and trade (Revelation 20:4). This is an organization that in actuality was al Qaeda Iraq and the occupant of the Oval Office supported as a "moderate" proxy to overthrow Syria's Bashar Assad. It has rapidly grown in support, stature and recruits throughout the region. Even its leader appears to meet certain prophetic end times criteria.
Abu Bakr al Baghdadi is the leader of the Islamic State. He claims he is a descendent of Mohammad and holds a PhD in Islamic Studies. He was reportedly released from the Bucca prison in Iraq when it was closed by the US "president" in 2009. Significantly, he was born in Samarra, Iraq. Samarra is home of the al Askari Mosque, housing the 10th and 11th Imams and where the 12th Imam, the Mahdi, went into occultation, according to Islamic eschatology. Ancient Samarra was refounded by the Assyrian King Sennacherib, who is described in Isaiah 10 as a type of the antichrist and whose army was destroyed by the Angel of the Lord when it came against Judah and Jerusalem (2 Kings 19, 2 Chronicles 32). Samarra was part of the Assyrian Empire and al Baghdadi's birth there means he could be considered Assyrian.
The Assyrian King Sennacherib is a type and foreshadow of the antichrist/beast just as was another Assyrian King, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, but they were not the beast. It is interesting that al Baghdadi was born in what was once a part of the Assyrian Empire and he is the declared Caliph who is marauding through Syria and Iraq taking spoil and threatening Israel, the US and Europe. But like Sennacherib and Epiphanes, al Baghdadi is not likely the beast, but rather a prophetic likeness of what is to come. al Baghdadi is not (yet) Chief Prince of Magog, Meshech and Tubal, which is in Turkey, not Iraq. While the Islamic State could be the beginnings of the prophetic "beast" empire, al Baghdadi does not appear to fit the complete prophetic criteria. We are living in amazing prophetic times. Watch, discern, and pray.

So, who is Supporting the Non-Tech Ecosystem?
Fisayo Durojaiye
Nairametrics| I have been thinking about this topic for some time now. In fact, what got me to think is the use of the word "Start-up". What does that mean? This word appears to be exclusively used to describe early stage technology companies. So, you hear entrepreneurs say, "I run a start-up". With this expression, you are expected to know that it is a technology business, not a salon or a bar (as if those are not start-ups themselves). On the other hand, if you hear, "I run an SME" then it has to be some woman baking cake or trying to set up a food business. Nobody thinks technology.
But before I go on, I will like to state categorically, like I have always alluded to, that the rules guiding tech entrepreneurship are not different from those guiding SME operations. I know that tech founders project this "larger than life" image, but the truth is that no one truly is.
A recent tweet from one of Nigeria's most experienced technology entrepreneurs, Sim Shagaya, summarized this bias:
What then is Entrepreneurship?
According to a Harvard Business School professor, Howard Stevenson, "Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled." This is an interesting description of the concept of entrepreneurship. Interestingly, Howard didn't limit this concept to technology entrepreneurs only. The woman looking to start selling food by the road side, who has no coolers or table to set up with but instead uses the pavement, is an entrepreneur.
The boys who cannot afford to rent shops and decide to sell in traffic are super entrepreneurs. Those traders whose shops were demolished at Oshodi but went to Yaba to start again are solid entrepreneurs. So, it is not an exclusive cult of people in Yaba, wearing tee-shirts and jeans, etc. It is not a big boys club.
Examining the Support Structure Around Tech Entrepreneurship
Technology entrepreneurship to me appears to be that spoilt baby crying over chocolate. In the scheme of things, only little things work against them. They have some organised support structure around them. They are able to raise money from different sources including an organised (maybe somewhat organised) angel network. There are incubators and accelerators (in fact, every bank is now building an innovation hub), VCs focusing and specialising on various stages of the company lifecycle, corporates willing to listen at the sound of "Machine Learning" and "Artificial Intelligence", regular meet-ups to talk shop, etc.
In addition, tech entrepreneurs in Lagos got their rents paid for under the Lagos Innovate program by the Lagos State Employment Trust Fund ("LSETF"), while on the other hand, the environment ministry of the same government will demolish shopping buildings, seize the wares of street traders and leave them with absolutely no support.
With all the support structures around tech entrepreneurship, these entrepreneurs still whine and whimper like that annoying baby about how difficult it is to do business in Nigeria and how customer acquisition is hard, instead of focusing on solving the actual problems of the customers. Rather than focus on building solutions that consumers will love to use, they focus on building more confusing apps that my cheap Tecno phone has no space for.
This is however, not to tar all technology entrepreneurs with the same brush. I love a few of them, and I believe they are solving real life problems rather than just building tech for tech's sake. However, an overwhelming percentage of them only want to be within that circle of "tech entrepreneurs".
Where is the Support around Non-Tech Entrepreneurship?
By non-tech, I mean "start-ups" that are not building mobile apps or leveraging Telco data for lending. I mean that mallam trying to set up a side hustle alongside his full-time job as a gatekeeper. I mean that retired nurse trying to set up a pharmacy store or that retired teacher trying to start a preschool. I mean that former chef at Eko Hotel trying to set up his own fast food joint. That recent graduate of Music, trying to set up a recording studio and a music college. Where is the support for these people?
Yes, I know that there are a few organisations trying to do a few things like FATE Foundation, and maybe Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Program ("TEEP"), depending on who you ask. In fact, I am struggling to come up more with examples.
Rather than support this vibrant entrepreneurship spirit, we are determined to kill it. Some Yoruba words (forgive me if I murdered the translation) – "Satan, if you cannot assist me, restore me to my previous state" This is my word for what we have right now.
The principle of success in running any business (start-up if you like) is practically the same. Like Mark's mom, who rented a 2 room apartment to start her school. She was the teacher, principal and administrator with just an assistant teacher. She steadily grew that business from 1979, and kept it alive till today with over 1,500 pupils.
Maybe Mark can share if his mom raised from external investors. If she made that pitch or she attended any start-up pitch competition. Maybe Mark can provide context if she left her business for 3 months to attend some accelerator program "in the abroad". Maybe Mark can confirm if she had a pitch deck that contained the buzz words – Runway, Burn rate, Customer Acquisition Cost, Customer Lifetime Value.
I believe that she just focused on executing her business, steadily growing the numbers of students, while maintaining great quality education.
Is this the best she could have been? Maybe not. But when you have built your 38-year-old business, you can ask me questions. I believe we all know companies that have raised millions of dollars and have died within less than a decade of operations.
Imagine she had access to the support structure that today's entrepreneurs have. Imagine that she raised just a million dollars.
Maybe tech entrepreneurship is overrated, maybe…
Happy Entrepreneuring

Tech Entrepreneurship

Nice article, but I think one sector having it worse off, does not mean another sector cannot complain about their needs. At the end of the day, the tech entrepreneurs still have the challenges that they face..the funds are not as easy to raise and the market is totally different from what you have in other countries, so while non-tech entrepreneurs do not have a lot of amenities at their disposal, you can't conclude that means tech entrepreneurs can't complain
