The Louvre Abu Dhabi is an art and civilization museum, located in Abu Dhabi.The iconic Louvre Abu Dhabi is the first universal museum in the Arab World that translates the spirit of openness of cultures. As one of the premier cultural institutions located in the heart of the Saadiyat Cultural District, the art-lovers dream displays the works of historical, cultural and sociological significance from ancient times to the contemporary era.The museum is part of a thirty-year agreement between the city of Abu Dhabi and the French government. The museum is the largest art museum in the Arabian peninsula.
Artworks from around the world are showcased at the museum, with particular focus placed upon bridging the gap between Easternand Western art.Designed by Pritzker-prize winning architect Jean Nouvel, the Louvre Abu Dhabi encompasses 9,200 sq. m of galleries.Recreating parts of UAE's integral cultural elements, Nouvel designed a falaj-inspired water system running through the museum. Inspired by ancient Arabian engineering whilst the orderly lace dome borrows inspiration from the interlaced palm leaves traditionally used as roofing material in many parts of the country that results in an enchanting play of light.
The juxtaposition of different civilizations in the same spaces, the Louvre Abu Dhabi illustrates similarities and exchanges from the shared human experience going beyond geography, nationality, and history.

Q: Converting float to Decimal, incorrectly losing precision I have the following code sample:
        float val = 16777216.0F;
        var badResult = Convert.ToDecimal(val);
        //badResult has value 16777220

Why is this precision lost?  the value specified is 2^24, a value which float can represent.  Are there any .net libraries I can use to get this conversion to work correctly without having to roll my own iCustomFormatter?
Thanks!
Edit, this is the ugly code I used as a solution
var goodResult = Convert.ToDecimal(((double)val));

A: From the documentation for System.Single:

By default, a Single value contains only 7 decimal digits of precision, although a maximum of 9 digits is maintained internally.

The value given is indeed correct to 7 significant digits. While the exact value of the float is in fact the one you've given, it seems reasonable for the conversion to string to only show the number of digits which are known to be correct, with the final digit being potentially rounded.

A: The conversion to decimal works fine; the problem is that the float type (System.Single) cannot represent this value exactly, so it's actually 1.677722E+07. If you use double (System.Double), which has a higher precision, it will work as expected.

Возглавляет литературное объединение молодых поэтов Ростовской области «Дон», первым руководителем которого была известная донская поэтесса Елена Нестерова.

Творчество
Первые стихи Кудрявцева были опубликованы в 1959 году в газете «Ростсельмашевец». Печатался в журналах «Москва», «Молодая гвардия», «Огонёк», «Смена», «Дон», центральных и областных газетах, коллективных сборниках. Из своих «литературных учителей» выделяет известного ростовского поэта Александра Рогачёва (впоследствии редактор первого сборника) и Евгения Долматовского. Первая книга стихов «Ранняя тропа» вышла в Ростове-на-Дону в 1978 году. За неё он был удостоен премий Союза писателей СССР, ЦК ВЛКСМ, Госкомиздата СССР и первого Всесоюзного конкурса молодых поэтов и в 1979 году принят в Союз писателей СССР.

A Quietus Interview
Creased Up: Jennifer Walshe interviewed
Jennifer Lucy Allan , November 4th, 2019 07:52
Ahead of her appearance at NEXT festival, artist, writer, composer and improvisor Jennifer Walshe talks to Jennifer Lucy Allan about entropy, absurdity, and improvising with GRANNMA
Portrait by Blackie Bouffant
Jennifer Walshe performs at the NEXT festival in Bratislava on 28 November
"I'll tell you the version that I tell the audience and then I'll tell you what's really happening," says Jennifer Walshe, when I ask about her piece IS IT COOL TO TRY NOW? She tells me that she opens the piece by announcing that what she is about to perform is generated using an artificial intelligence that she has trained on different types of neural networks: "Convolution neural networks, recurrent neural networks," she explains, "so if you see .rnn or .cnn on the screen, that's what it's referring to."
At the top of each 'movement', the video screen shows an explanation of what the network was trained on, which includes Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop newsletter; Reddit boards about robotics at the Museum of emerging technology in Tokyo, and her own childhood diaries. The piece sounds, and looks authentic, and uses accurate technical language from machine learning. "They say 'this was epoch one' or 'epoch two', and will train the network for maybe 40 epochs to get the model better and better," explains Walshe. One epoch, for example, might be identified as having trouble distinguishing between screaming and laughing, and the next one addresses that problem. Walshe isn't faking that knowledge and terminology – she's done the research, well enough to fool a room of specialists.
One of the first times she performed the piece was to a crowd of machine learning and robotics scientists in Belfast. Afterwards, she said one of them approached her and said that for the first 15 minutes, "they thought 'Fuck you, how did you get all this funding?'" as they knew what a non-specialist audience didn't, and that was each movement was roughly equivalent to an entire research project and highly expensive. "Anything I'm making up is supported by a lot of real research," she explains. "I'm not just making up total bullshit. I'm interested in this. I'm trying to learn about it all the time. So the research supports what I'd call the speculative AI."
These ideas, of a sort of authentic speculative work, have been present in other projects by Walshe. Aisteach was an online archive of the Irish avant-garde, that featured the Guinness Dadaists and durational organ music by a nun called Sister Anselme O'Ceallaigh. She talked about it as real for a long time, and many people believed it. Its timing was perfect, made when the historical mining of avant-garde music was at its most aggressive, supplemented by a flourishing reissues market. But, as with IS IT COOL TO TRY NOW? the profiles were so fully developed, with biographies and audio recordings, that it hardly mattered that they weren't real.
The project was not about duping an audience, but about prodding structures and establishments to ask about how histories of music are established. Aisteach made a point about the vagaries of these timelines – Walshe was somewhat invested in this through her friendship with Tony Conrad, who at the time had been largely written out of some versions of minimalism. She also said she couldn't find an Irish avant-garde, that if it existed it hadn't been recorded, and was certainly not networked. It was inspirational in making the point that linear narratives in music are often mostly a fiction anyway, for all the editing and obfuscation it requires. In which case, does it matter that her Goop AI isn't real?
Walshe isn't looking to cheat anyone – she'll happily divulge the reality of IS IT COOL TO TRY NOW? if anyone asks. She is instead prodding these technologies as a composer and artist, and is interested in the sonic uncanny valley produced by these technologies and computing developments in their infancy. "I feel like my generation – maybe for the next 20 years – we're the last people to get to really dream about it, or mess with it, or lie about it, or speculate," she says. "Because pretty soon, particularly for genre-based music like pop music or film music, AI generated music is going to be indistinguishable. So what did you do then? What sort of art do you make about it then?"
More recently, Walshe has been able to develop her own AI, in a project called ULTRACHUNK with creative technologist Memo Akten. Akten built GRANNMA, a vocal improvising doppelganger of Walshe that is a real AI, requiring heavyweight computing power, and which was trained on hours and hours of her improvising into a webcam. She points out that while fiction writers like Ian McEwan and Jeanette Winterson are getting interested in AI, what's happening in the real world is just as weird, if not weirder. We go on a long tangent about AI and porn, and she explains how one of the main makers of AI sex dolls, "is a kind of goth dude, purple shirts and thumbrings, you know the vibe... and when he first coded AI to put in the sex dolls, the robotics were all in the head on this lifeless body. When he came to pick a synthetic voice, he chose a female Scottish accent. I was killing myself. You're seeing this doll that is like, Pamela Anderson times ten, but the voice is a wee Scottish lady. The guy says he just thought it was the nicest voice. In 20 years time, all that weirdness will have been ironed out and smoothed over."
AI can also liberate or reinforce biases that already exist – Walshe points out that with current deep fakes if you're Will Smith it's great, you're de-aged, but if you're Alyssa Milano there's a whole Reddit group committed to making deep fake porn with your face. In terms of music, pre-existing biases regarding the canon are also replicated, often aimed at reproducing masterworks by great male composers. "A lot of people are really interested in Bach chorals, and making deepBach," she explains. "The composer is usually a man, and usually they're from a time in history where there was a clear rule based compositional system". Easily accessible material is also used to train networks, meaning that lots of networks are trained on The Bible as it is public domain and the right length.
She uses the AI generated sci-fi short film Sunspring as an example – while she enjoys the 'texture' of Hollywood actors committing to the bizarre script (which includes lines such as "You should see the boy and shut up – I was the one who was going to be 100 years old") when she dug out the corpus on which it was trained, it was mostly films written and directed by men. "Even with Sunspring, it's not insanely sexist stuff, it's just run of the mill Hollywood."
ALL THE MANY PEOPLS by Jennifer Walshe
For Walshe, improvising into a video camera for hours a day, they also showed her own tics: "It's like hearing yourself telling you telling the same joke at a dinner party," she says. Her vocals are captured on recent album, ALL THE MANY PEOPLS, which comes off like a capella plunderphonics – there are samples and snippets in there, earworms from videos. She takes handbrake turns, there is uncomfortable panting, sniffing, screaming, cackling. It's like channel hopping while simultaneously scrolling through Twitter with video sound on, while a radio skips through channels and white noise in the background. The references are dizzying – like the internet, if you can think of it, it's probably there. In Drew Daniel's sleevenotes for the record he writes: "Whether this sounds like a crawling, schizophrenic chaos or like a typical day online depends upon how you spend your time." But I'd say it sounds like both – Walshe places herself as a sort of cipher for what sounds like a scrambled live stream from film, literature, video games, social media, philosophy, science fiction, pop music, message boards, and search engine ephemera. Daniel describes her accurately as a "one-woman roaratoria".
As well as the various manifestations of her AI research, she is also performing her opera on about time at LCMF, which was written with philosopher Timothy Morton (originator of the term hyperobject, for his sins) for Bergen's Borealis festival last year, and also features a cast of contributors and performers, including Matmos' MC Schmidt. On their way in, the crowd will be given a 140million year old ammonite to hold (these are ethically sourced), asked to switch off their phones so they can't see the time, and will be monitored using heat sensors. All these factors are meant to get people into the headspace of thinking about different time scales. The heat sensors effectively track entropy in the room, and the audience's excitement, or lack of, both proves the passage of time and will inform how much time the performance takes. "When I was working on the piece, I was really trying to wrap my head around these massive, massive time scales," she explains. "I went to the Natural History Museum constantly, just looked at the dinosaur bones, talked to the dinosaur guy there (who is really nice)."
Key to understanding Walshe's work is humour – of a similar stripe to that of Matmos (as well as Daniels writing the sleevenotes for her record, Schmidt is part of the time opera). She's not making jokes as such, although that's not to say there aren't funny moments in her work. It's more about the creative potential of absurdity – it makes perfect sense when she tells me she was obsessed with Vic Reeves' Big Night Out at school. There's no cynicism in her humour, but is instead interested in the operations of language, and about what absurdity and humour can expose about culture, communication and expectation. "We would read the scripts from the Big Night Out book and quote them to one another at school," she says, "so it's a huge part of my life, huge. My sister also has an ongoing WhatsApp thread with my best friend from my childhood, where they make up jokes. So I woke up this morning and that was the first thing on WhatsApp. But for a lot of free improvisers, text can be sort of taboo, so for a long time, I never thought about using texts."
This all changed when she was working with her close friend, the late Tony Conrad. "We were improvising together, and he said I don't understand, your mother is a writer, you're really into text, why the hell aren't you talking and using the text in your work? So slowly I started feeling free to do that."
Walshe started binding all the text she was using into volumes that appear to be titled Book Is Book, compiled from short verses, pleasing sentences scraped from the internet, things she's written and things she's found. They are sort of sourcebooks for her compositional practice. She is currently considering whether they exist as something outside of a musical project, and has recently contributed to the current edition of The Winter Papers, a journal for Irish arts. She opens one of the volumes on her desk and reads out the following: "I'm ready to replace that giant tub of pre-workout on top of my fridge." It's to her taste she explains, and she flicks through these "like a DJ would flick through records". But after noticing some members of the audience laughing at some of these sentences, she went and did proper research – attended open mic comedy nights, revisited Monty Python and Vic Reeves, read Stewart Lee, and became fascinated with performed comedy.
In all aspects of her work, Walshe has a joyful curiosity and is a gluttonous researcher. She has the capacity to inhale huge amounts of knowledge on culture and technology, exhaling operas, AIs, improvisations, texts, but remaining fascinated by how things are changing. "It's about being able to play," she explains. "I think culture is still going to develop and really weird ways that we can't predict. It makes me really excited – I want to stick around and see what's going to happen."

We have all heard of the boy whom cried wolf. I would like to urge all of you to remain aware of the weather forecast and any voluntary/mandatory evacuation we may have throughout the fall, winter, and spring. Please do not become desensitized to what is going on. Mudslides are unpredictable and do not happen with our convenience in mind. The fact remains that some of us are at the bottom of hillsides that no longer have plants, shrubs, and root structures to hold down the loose dirt that will be washed down from hard rains as mud.
PLEASE READ the National Weather Service Post Wildfire Flash Flood and Debris Flow Guide that has been attached. This provides detailed information on after fire mudflow events caused by rain as well as other great information on what you can do to prepare. The time to educate yourself is NOW. The time to prepare yourself is NOW.
"PLEASE SEE USGS Preliminary Hazard Assessment: https://landslides.usgs.gov/hazards/postfire_debrisflow/detail.php?objectid=251"
Public works has been working on reinforcing debris flows. This is a help but not a cure all to a massive event that could be triggered by heavy rain of a certain amount of time. PLEASE educate and prepare yourself.
That being being said, this is not meant to cause you to live in fear, just preparation and awareness. The best thing you can do is to be prepared and stay situationally aware of the weather and your surroundings.
The best we can do is educate ourselves, prepare, and remain situationally aware throughout the coming months whilst praying and hoping for a non major event.

A radiologic classification of talocalcaneal coalitions based on 3D reconstruction
Author(s): Rozansky, Alison
Varley, Eric
Moor, Molly
Wenger, Dennis R.
Mubarak, Scott J.
Talocalcaneal coalitions can be difficult to detect on plain radiographs, despite obvious clinical findings. The purpose of this study is two-fold: (1) to delineate the benefits of thin-cut computed tomography (CT) and 3D reconstructions and (2) to develop a classification scheme for talocalcaneal coalitions that will provide valuable information for surgical planning. From 2005 to 2009, 54 feet (35 patients) with a talocalcaneal coalition were evaluated with thin-cut (1 mm) CT, using multi-planar 2D and 3D reconstructions. The talocalcaneal coalitions were classified into five types based on the cartilaginous or bony nature, location, and facet joint orientation. Bilateral coalitions were found in 22/35 patients. Types I and II were fibrocartilaginous coalitions, which was the most common type, comprising 40.7 and 16.7% of the coalitions, respectively. Of the patients, 14.8% had a shingled Type III coalition, while 11.1% of the feet examined had a complete bony coalition (Type IV). Small peripheral posterior bony coalitions (Type V), which are heretofore not described, were found in 16.7% of feet. CT scans can provide valuable information regarding the bony or cartilaginous nature of coalitions, as well as the facet orientation, which is helpful in diagnosis and treatment. In this study, the 2D and 3D reconstructions revealed previously unreported peripheral posterior bony coalitions (Type V), as well as coalitions that are in the same plane as the standard CT cuts or Harris view radiographs (Type I). The CT scan also improved the crucial pre-operative planning of the resection in the more complex vertical and combined horizontal and vertical fibrocartilaginous coalitions (Type I and II). Additionally, the complete bony coalitions (Type IV) can be sized accurately, which is helpful in decision-making on the resectability of the coalition.

McConnell, Pelosi homes vandalized after $2,000 relief fails – POLITICO
2 weeks ago immitate
KGO-TV reported that graffiti found on the garage door of the Democratic leader's home included the phrases "$2K," "Cancel rent!" and "We want everything," apparently referencing Democratic lawmakers' failed efforts to increase the coronavirus relief checks from $600 to $2000.
The news station says security cameras surround the three-story brick home in the tony Pacific Heights neighborhood.
McConnell released a statement on Saturday condemning the vandalism at his home in Louisville.
"I've spent my career fighting for the First Amendment and defending peaceful protest," he stated. "I appreciate every Kentuckian who has engaged in the democratic process whether they agree with me or not. This is different. Vandalism and the politics of fear have no place in our society."
McConnell said he and his wife are not intimidated by the vandalism. "We just hope our neighbors in Louisville aren't too inconvenienced by this radical tantrum."
Louisville police are investigating the incident at McConnell's home, which occurred around 5 a.m. Saturday. There currently are no suspects, police spokesperson Dwight Mitchell said in an email.
On New Year's Day, Senate Republicans refused to allow debate over a bill to increase the amount of COVID-19 relief. The increase, supported by President Donald Trump, passed the Democratic-led House but was blocked by McConnell.
The government has begun sending out the smaller payments to millions of Americans. The $600 payment is going to individuals with incomes up to $75,000. Congress approved the payment in late December.

Washington, D.C. is host to many outdoor events on an annual basis. As you start the planning process, it is important to recognize that your event plays a unique part in the relationship with the community. A quality event can make a difference to the City of Washington, D.C. EventPermits works with the City of Washington, D.C. and its partners, in planning safe and successful events that comply with city law.
Washington, D.C. Event Locations:
Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Washington has a growing, diversified economy with an increasing percentage of professional and business service jobs. Many organizations such as law firms, independent contractors (both defense and civilian), non-profit organizations, lobbying firms, trade unions, industry trade groups, and professional associations have their headquarters in or near D.C. to be close to the federal government
The District has growing industries not directly related to government, especially in the areas of education, finance, public policy, and scientific research. The George Washington University, Georgetown University, Washington Hospital Center, Howard University, and Fannie Mae are the top five non-government-related employers in the city.
Gentrification efforts are taking hold in Washington, D.C., notably in the neighborhoods of Logan Circle, Shaw, Columbia Heights, the U Street Corridor, and the 14th Street Corridor. Development was fostered in some neighborhoods by the late-1990s construction of the Green Line on Metrorail, Washington's subway system, which linked them to the downtown area. In March 2008, a new shopping mall in Columbia Heights became the first new major retail center in the District in 40 years. As in many cities, gentrification is revitalizing Washington's economy.
The architecture of Washington varies greatly. Six of the top 10 buildings in the American Institute of Architects' 2007 ranking of "America's Favorite Architecture" are located in the District of Columbia, including: the White House; the Washington National Cathedral; the Thomas Jefferson Memorial; the United States Capitol; the Lincoln Memorial; and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The neoclassical, Georgian, gothic, and modern architectural styles are all reflected among those six structures and many other prominent edifices in Washington. Notable exceptions include buildings constructed in the French Second Empire style such as the Old Executive Office Building and Library of Congress.
The Friendship Arch
The George Washington University
Outside downtown Washington, architectural styles are even more varied. Historic buildings are designed primarily in the Queen Anne, Chateauesque, Richardsonian Romanesque, Georgian revival, Beaux-Arts, and a variety of Victorian styles. Rowhouses are especially prominent in areas developed after the Civil War and typically follow Federalist and late Victorian designs. Since Georgetown was established before the city of Washington, the neighborhood features the District's oldest architecture. Georgetown's Old Stone House was built in 1765, making it the oldest standing building in the city. The majority of current homes in the neighborhood, however, were not built until the 1870s and reflect late Victorian designs of the period. Founded in 1789, Georgetown University is more distinct from the neighborhood and features a mix of Romanesque and Gothic Revival architecture. The Ronald Reagan Building is the largest building in the District with a total area of approximately 3.1 million square feet (288,000 m2).
Washington, D.C. is home to five major professional men's teams. The Washington Wizards (National Basketball Association) and the Washington Capitals (National Hockey League) both play at the Verizon Center in Chinatown. Nationals Park, which opened in Southeast D.C. in 2008, is home to the Washington Nationals (Major League Baseball). D.C. United (Major League Soccer) play at RFK Stadium. The Washington Redskins (National Football League) play at nearby FedExField in Landover, Maryland.
Museum of the American Indian
The Washington area is also home to a number of women's professional sports teams. The Washington Mystics (WNBA) play at the Verizon Center and the Washington Glory (National Pro Fastpitch Softball) play at Westfield H.S. Sports Complex in Fairfax County, Virginia. The Washington Freedom are set to be revived in the spring of 2009 within the Women's Professional Soccer league, the successor to the WUSA. Other professional and semi-professional teams based in Washington include: the Washington Bayhawks (Major League Lacrosse), who play at George Mason Stadium; the Washington D.C. Slayers (American National Rugby League); the Potomac Mavericks (PIHA); the Baltimore Washington Eagles (USAFL); the D.C. Divas (NWFA); the D.C. Explosion (Minor League Football); and the Washington RFC (Rugby Super League).
Washington is one of only 13 cities in the United States with teams from all four major men's sports: football, basketball, baseball, and ice hockey. When soccer is included, Washington is one of only eight cities to have all five professional men's sports. D.C. teams have won a combined 11 professional league championships: D.C. United has won four (the most in MLS history); the Washington Redskins have won three; the Washington Bayhawks have won two; and the Washington Wizards and the Washington Glory have each won a single championship. The William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center in Rock Creek Park hosts the Legg Mason Tennis Classic. The Marine Corps Marathon and the National Marathon are both held annually in Washington. The D.C. area is home to one regional sports television network, Comcast SportsNet (CSN), based in Bethesda, Maryland.
Is there a remote chance that the safety of the participants and/or the residents of the City of Washington, D.C. may be affected if certain aspects of your event are not properly constructed, installed, or handled (i.e. food, electrical wiring, tents, stages, generators)
Does your event require any City of Washington, D.C. services? ( i.e. trash pick up, closing of streets, etc.)
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you will need an event permit in the City of Washington, D.C. and EventPermits will facilitate all of your needs on your behalf.

Timba es un ritmo cubano de música popular bailable, un estilo moderno de tocar el son montuno del cual se origina. Específicamente del songo, aunque en la Timba existen influencias de otros géneros como el jazz afrocubano y la nueva trova. Siendo un ritmo de cuatro tiempos, igual que el son montuno, pero sin síncopa, lo que la vuelve más dinámica que la guaracha o la salsa, pero menos sensual.

En las orquestas cubanas, al tocar el son montuno u otros ritmos bailables, los cantantes usan la expresión timba para invitar al resto de músicos a subir la "temperatura" del tema y energizar al público.

Característica
Se caracteriza por tener un ejercicio amplio del piano, batería, percusión latina (pailas, congas, güiro) e instrumentos de viento-metal, principalmente trompeta y trombón.

Inicios
 Timba es un término de procedencia africana cuando los negros esclavizados llegaron a Centroamérica sembrando el africanismo español dejando como resultado la timba (que quiere decir tambor), también llamado bomba. De esta forma proviene el término timba.

En la actualidad, la timba es común entre los músicos populares cubanos, principalmente los cultivadores del son. Se usa para denominar determinada textura que aglutina aspectos de expresión y estructuras propios del son en los últimos años de la década de 1980 y con más fuerza a partir de 1990. Identifica una forma expresiva propia en el ámbito de la salsa cubana. Algunos rasgos que la distinguen son: una fuerte base del jazz —que ya caracterizaba a la música cubana en etapas anteriores—, mayores niveles de improvisación, explotación en el plano tímbrico de la sección de los metales y teclados, y la utilización de textos casi agresivos a los que se une una coreografía con gestualidad deliberadamente sensual y provocadora.

Los orígenes de esta expresión se pueden remontar a las incursiones en fusión de una banda como Irakere, en los años setenta del siglo pasado, y orquestas como Elito Revé, la Charanga Habanera, Adalberto Álvarez, NG La Banda, entre otras, las cuales son muy importantes para la producción del dibujo.

Concepto
El primer especialista de música extranjero que comprendió la mecánica de la timba fue el estadounidense Ned Sublette[1]. En 1991 publica en el influyente New York Times, un respetuoso artículo titulado: "En Cuba sí se baila al compás de la música" –reproducido en Granma Internacional, 27 de enero de 1991–, en el justo momento en que comenzaba el gran estallido del boom de la salsa cubana. "NG La Banda goza de virtuosismo, desempeña el papel de orquesta de baile y de concierto; se vale de un antiguo truco: largos y pegajosos montunos, saludando en versos los barrios de la capital".

El investigador colombiano César Pagano[2] en la revista 91.9, dic. 1996, analiza el fenómeno timba: Manolo Mulet recomienda mantener la cautela al observar la evolución de lo que para él es un nuevo estilo, y que sólo el tiempo resolverá el enigma de que realmente la timba es un género nuevo de la música cubana... Encuentra ciertas dificultades técnicas, por su intrincada ejecución y orquestación, debido a la dificultad de la transmisión del baile y hasta razones políticas que impiden su propagación por el planeta entero...Posee una atmósfera delirante, vigorosa, con varios estribillos en una pieza que se prolonga como los conjuros africanos que se expanden hasta alcanzar una apoteosis grandiosa que incita a participar al público más exaltado a gozar de Cuba.

NG logró una verdadera magia musical, a partir de la base ritmática, rescata el éxtasis y frenesí colectivos de una música primitiva –vale decir auténtica y natural, de atmósfera, de ambiente, de clima emocional; música para ser vivida y sentida. Se desarrolló en el mundo más humilde, del barrio, del mundo callejero. Es una música de fusión: rumba, guaracha, son y mambo, aderezado con un toque de jazz, pop, rock, rap y el toque caribeño; una especie de funky cubano.

El motor sonoro es como una máquina de ritmos modernos. Hay aportes en los tumbaos y montunos, muy exactos, que producen una dinámica, un agarre de tremendo atractivo. Esa profesionalidad de la base rítmica es un concepto aplicado a toda la orquesta. La agresividad de la masa orquestal –con pasajes asombrosos de los metales-, impresiona y atrapa al bailador con un ritmo nítido, fácil de bailar, pero difícil de imitar. La calidad y la precisión y ajuste de las cuerdas determinan un sello profesional, una responsabilidad del sonido, en el tempo y la métrica de la orquesta.

Los textos son crudos y agresivos, reflejo de los tiempos, una lírica distinta, una poesía que canta "la cultura del ritmo", de la que hablaba Fernando Ortiz. El baile es libre, espontáneo, en solitario –como en África–; Juan Formell expone que la timba es un ritmo heavy (duro), afro, distinto a la salsita blanca latina.
 Ned Sublette: Creador del estilo de rumba de vaquero, una fusión de la rumba y el country & western.
 Cesar Pagano: Periodista, investigador musical (musicólogo) y escritor. Gran coleccionista y amante de la música.

Exponentes
Una de las primeras agrupaciones, alrededor de 1988, fue la banda Nueva Generación, mejor conocida como NG La Banda. Su director, José Luis Cortés, "el Tosco", puede considerarse entre los pioneros del nuevo ritmo. Flautista virtuoso y compositor dicharachero, provenía de Irakere y a su alrededor consiguió nuclear un conjunto excelente de otros músicos. Intentaba, según sus palabras, tocar una música que se pareciera a la que estaban haciendo Juan Formell y Los Van Van por aquella época, pero que ostentara la calidad y riqueza de la que podía hacer un grupo como Irakere.

El bajista y compositor Juan Formell, director de Los Van Van, pronto distinguió el nuevo ritmo como el promisorio salto que debía dar la música popular bailable cubana. Desde entonces Los Van Van, la agrupación de mayor éxito en la historia de la música popular cubana, ha marcado el paso de la Timba en la isla y el mundo, año por año, "pegando" varios hits en el mercado. La Charanga Habanera, dirigida por David Calzado, ha sido otra gran orquesta que ha logrado por mucho tiempo mantenerse en la máxima popularidad y renovar el discurso timbero. Hay una extensa lista de agrupaciones y solistas que tocan timba en Cuba y en otros países de Latinoamérica, teniendo como ejemplo a Colombia y Perú.

The PKK has expressed dismay over a decrease in the number of votes cast for the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP), which traditionally receives most of its votes from the Southeast, in the July 22 elections.
The terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has expressed dismay over a decrease in the number of votes cast for the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP), which traditionally receives most of its votes from the Southeast, in the July 22 elections.
The DTP's predecessor, the Democratic People's Party (DEHAP), had earned 236,000 votes (56 percent) in the southeastern city of Diyarbakır during the 2002 general elections, while the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) had received 67,000 votes (about 15 percent of the vote). In this year's election, the DTP deputies who ran as independents received less than 200,000 votes, roughly 42 percent of the vote in Diyar-bakır. The AK Party received 41 percent, up from 15 percent five years earlier.
Many DTP members, including senior officials and local chapter heads, have been tried on charges of having ties with the terrorist group. Sebahat Tuncel was in prison pending trial for suspected membership in the PKK until recently when she was released upon her election to Parliament as a deputy for the DTP. The DTP officially denies any links to the PKK.
The terrorist PKK was most unnerved about the DTP's election failure in the eastern and southeastern provinces. The PKK's jailed leader, Abdullah Öcalan, serving a life term on a prison island near İstanbul, as well as other senior figures in the terrorist group harshly criticized the DTP in separate statements. The terrorist organization, which has been trying to use the country's Kurds for its separatist purposes, interpreted the loss of votes for the DTP as declining support for the PKK. However, it was also infuriated by a statement from the DTP deputies, who announced that they wouldn't engage in acts that could cause political crises. "We will not be putting on any shows," the DTP legislators said.
The terrorist organization's political wing, the KCK, released a harsh statement calling on the DTP members to refrain from denying their "past."
Duran Kalkan, one of the leaders of the terrorist organization, complained of a serious erosion in popularity. "There is a loss of votes. That means that local administrators [elected from the DTP] are not doing enough. The DTP's organization is weak. There are serious weaknesses in the national democratic organization and struggle; because in these regions the vote percentage has fallen below the level received in the previous election. We have to change this trend. If this downward decline is not stopped, we could face a narrowing of our grassroots, which is unacceptable. In order to stop this erosion, our line of freedom should be brought to the people through intense propaganda and organizational work. It's everybody's duty to go to every house and engage in propaganda and recruitment work."
Öcalan said the DTP's loss was a result of the party's blunder. "They used my name and they were able to get only 20 deputies into Parliament. What would they do without me? They should quit if they can't pull this off," he said. Öcalan warned that if the DTP was not going to work well, the next thing it would lose would be the local administrative offices in its hands. He also demanded "compensation for the loss of votes."
While the election clearly showed that the region's people are not interested in ethnic politics the PKK, unhappy with the situation, has started to put pressure on the people. On July 31, the group kidnapped nine villagers, including four children.
Many in the area say the PKK's reason for taking villagers hostage was the DTP's failure in the July 22 election. In a recent incident, the terrorists killed a villager who refused to give food and supplies to them in Cepkenli Village in Van. People here suggest that the PKK is likely to continue kidnappings in the region as an attempt to scare the locals and force them into voting for the DTP in local elections next year.
DTP Deputy Chairman Nurettin Demirtaş, who evaluated the election result in a party meeting, said he believed the DTP had failed to produce concrete projects that explain its party program.
The DTP will be holding an extraordinary party congress in September.
The Democratic Society Party (DTP) held a meeting of its parliamentary group on Wednesday. Speaking to journalists before the meeting, DTP Deputy Chairman Nurettin Demirtaş expressed his belief that increasing Turkey's standards of democracy would facilitate greater participation of the people in politics and give them the opportunity to assert their rights.
Demirtaş expressed his opinion that all of Turkey's problems, from improving living standards for the average citizen, to unemployment, poverty, traffic accidents and even water shortages, would be resolved by increasing the standard of democracy.
"Even though we are being represented with a small group in Parliament, we are experiencing the proud contentment of having a group in Parliament, which gives way to the hope of opening a new page in the name of democracy and relieving tension in the country," he said.
He said the group's working program would be made public in a short time. "This program will be a roadmap and it will greatly comfort the entire country," he said, adding that the DTP group's program would speak for all those sections of society that are oppressed, turned into "others," and will also improve Turkey's international reputation.

The 915X is a luxurious and performing radio. Its design is square and stern. It contains some really nice technical innovations such as the Linodyne tuning capacitor. I bought it a long time ago, but I still haven't fixed it.
This stern-looking radio must have been quite expensive. It is large and has a large speaker. It has an audio amplifier with an extra stage. It has an RF pre-amplifier for sensitive SW reception. And best of all: it has a Linodyne tuning capacitor with pre-set buttons. It must have been built in 1940 or 1941.
I bought this in spring 2001 on a flea-market. It immediately caught my eye and I decided to buy it.
An impressively large chassis with 8 valves.
I still don't know if it works. The person selling it told me the radio was in original condition. Seems he was exaggerating. The inside looks quite good, not much dust. But much of the rubber insulation on the wiring looks dried out. The chassis must have been taken out once, because the wires on the loudspeaker look like they have been unsoldered some decades ago. The rectifier has tape on it with a type number. Not a good idea. That will probably smell bad.
On the outside, the case has a lot of scratches. And one thing is missing: there should be a set of five brass rails in front of the speaker. Three are missing.
So it looks like this radio will be a lot of work.

Nokia Lumia 928 Sample Photo Reportedly surfaces
Shawn Ingram
Am alleged Nokia Lumia 928 sample photo appeared online today. Teh Nokia Lumia 928 is a new Windows Phone 8 device rumored for Verizon.
The photo shows a glass of beer with the logo for Black Raven Brewing, and not much else. The photo looks good for a smartphone photo, but there isn't much to glean from it aside from that. Twitter user @evleaks originally shared the photo.
The photo originally appeared on Google's Picasa service which is strange given that it's a photo from a Windows Phone 8 device. The Picasa page is no longer available, but it presumably held information that point to the Lumia 928 when it was available. According to MyNokiaBlog the exif data said the phone has an f2.0 aperture and the flash wasn't used.
Test photo from the rumored Nokia Lumia 928.
The photo's resolution of 1278×720, likely because it the phone compressed the photo when uploaded to the web. Photos from the Nokia Lumia 920 also compress to 1278×720 when uploaded to services such as SkyDrive over 3G or 4G LTE.
The rumored Nokia Lumia 928 is the alleged variant of the Lumia 920 for Verizon Wireless. The phone will likely feature a new design but many of the same, if not all the same features as the current Lumia 920 on AT&T. Some of features include a dual-core Snapdragon processor and a 4.5-inch OLED display.
Recent rumors claim the Nokia Lumia 928 may come to Verizon as early as April. The phone may have an aluminum body, which would make it thinner and lighter than the Nokia Lumia 920 which uses a polycarbonate shell which is somewhat thick and heavy compared to other phones.
The new phone may look more similar to the Lumia 720 instead of the Lumia 920 despite its name. The number likely refers more to its place in the line of Lumia phone, with 900 number reserved for the high-end Windows Phone from Nokia.

Washington, also the Lions' defensive backs coach, is entering his 11th season on the coaching staff
Mark Washington will return for a fifth season as the B.C. Lions' defensive co-ordinator.
The Lions also announced Friday the addition of Randy Melvin as defensive line coach.
Washington, also the Lions' defensive backs coach, is entering his 11th season on the club's coaching staff.
"Among the reasons why I wanted Mark back are his leadership and work ethic," head coach Wally Buono said in a statement. "The stability and continuity that Mark brings will allow our defence to grow stronger and become a dominant force in 2018."
Melvin served as B.C.'s defensive line coach in 2011 when the club won the Grey Cup before leading to join the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also spent time at Purdue, Rutgers and Miami before rejoining the Lions.
"I am very excited to have Randy back coaching our defensive line," said Buono. "He brings a high degree of intensity to his position which translates into a tough and physical style of play which we need in order to control the line of scrimmage."

Dar Alma Boutique Hotel sits in the southern city of Tyre, a UNESCO world heritage site overflowing with history and a decidedly Lebanese atmosphere.
Tyre, home of the Dar Alma Boutique Hotel, is an ancient Phoenician city. Mythology tells us it was the birthplace of Europa and Dido (Elissa). The city, which contains a Roman hippodrome and necropolis, to name a few, was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1979.
The building which is now the Dar Alma Boutique Hotel was built, in stages, over quite a few decades, witnessing the coming and passing of history. However, when the building was being explored for renovation, its true hidden gem was discovered. In its basement, which carried the same vaulted pattern it does today, an engraved stone was found, set into one of the walls. The markings on the stone first suggested a cuneiform message and Sumerian origins. An archeologist happened to stumble across the stone, and made the connection between its location and the crusader fort located close by to the hotel. It turned out that the marks borne by the stone were the insignia of the soldiers who guarded the fortress, and who spent their nights in that basement.
This basement has been transformed into our restaurant, where the stone still sits as proudly as ever, Dar Alma's own witness to the city's rich history.


NFF Leader and former minister Wimal Weerawansa reported to the CID at 9.30 this morning.

NFF media spokesman Mohamed Musammil said that accordingly the MP would report at the CID this forenoon.
Responding to our query the NFF media spokesman said further that disclosure could not be made about why the CID has summoned the former minister.
Meanwhile former Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa too has been summoned to the Financial Crimes Division today.
It was on 12th this month that the former Defence Secretary had been informed call at the Police Financial Crimes Division for giving a statement in view of investigations into a complaint lodged saying that irregularities had taken place in the purchase of 'Mig' jets for Sri Lanka Air Force.
However while the former Defence Secretary had not provided the statement on that day, he had requested for another day to make the statement.
However the Supreme Court issued an interim restraining order recently preventing the arrest of former Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.
This interim restraining order will be in force till the hearing of the petition ends.
The Supreme Court gave this restraining order granting permission for the hearing of an FR petition filed by the former Defence Secretary.

Q: Ruby on Rails app/assets/stylesheets changes don't change public/assets/application.css I'm working on an existing website written in Ruby on Rails, and I'm a rails beginner. I'm having trouble changing the view of my website. I make some changes in the app/assets/stylesheets/*.css.scss but it does not change anything on the website.
In app/assets/stylesheets/application.css I have :
/*
 * This is a manifest file that'll be compiled into application.css, which will include all the files
 * listed below.
 *
 * Any CSS and SCSS file within this directory, lib/assets/stylesheets, vendor/assets/stylesheets,
 * or vendor/assets/stylesheets of plugins, if any, can be referenced here using a relative path.
 *
 * You're free to add application-wide styles to this file and they'll appear at the top of the
 * compiled file, but it's generally better to create a new file per style scope.
 *
 *= require_self
 *= require_tree
 */

I've read that this should include all my css files.
On the other hand I found the public/assets/application.css file in which the changes are directly applied but it's not a workable file.
I've found a website explaining this a bit http://www.reinteractive.net/posts/116-12-tips-for-the-rails-asset-pipeline . It tells to either include or precompile.
Does the precompile mean that it should modify the public/assets/application.css file? Because it doesn't.
I believe I'm missing something small and easy here.
Thanks in advance for your help

A: By default, rails will look for assets in the 'public/assets' location. In development we usually keep modifying the assets and hence avoid using asset precompilation(i m hoping that you are using asset precompilation). what asset precompilation does is minification, concatenation of the css and js files into one single css and js file and placing them in the 'public/assets' folder.
In your case, since you are running locally in development env, remove the 'public/assets' folder altogether because right now, the application is loading the assets from there which is wrong.

A: When are you using "rails server" (development), any change on assets, will show on you application, because the rails reload all files from app/assets.
On production, the application use the compiled files on public folder, any change on application, you will need to compile the aplication again, clear the compiled files firts.
