Music and COVID-19
Cory Aitchison
While most art can be described as a two-way conversation between the artist and the audience, this notion is especially true with music. As an art form, music desires listeners. Music is best understood as an abstract concept, an art form dependent on time rather than a physical entity; that is to say, music is a living art form.
So what happens to music when people are asked to practice social distancing? What happens to music during a pandemic? How do musicians and their audiences stay connected? We've seen impromptu musical performances in Italy and elsewhere around the globe, as well as other creative uses of apartment balconies. But another way musicians have reached their listeners is through the use of streaming platforms.
The spread of COVID-19 has dramatically impacted the global economy, and the entertainment industry is not immune. AEG and Live Nation—two of the largest concert promoters—have recommended the cancellation of all live music events until at least the end of March. Millions of dollars in revenue have been lost. Musicians are now finding themselves out of work as major music festivals and events are being canceled or postponed.
The world feels like a pretty bleak place right now, but that hasn't stopped artists from continuing to create and wanting to share their art with others. In fact, the upswing in musicians livestreaming performances is notable. It has the potential to change the music industry and how musicians and their fans interact, perhaps on a deeper, emotional level.
Streaming: When and Where
An excellent performance of Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto, by Boris Giltburg. Available on Naxos.
Some of the world's biggest acts, from Billie Eilish to Harry Styles, have canceled or postponed their tours due to the spread of COVID-19. Other artists, like Lady Gaga and HAIM, have postponed their album release dates in response to the recent events. South by Southwest (SXSW) was canceled, and Coachella—normally held in April—was postponed until October 2020.
This hasn't stopped artists from reaching out to their fans through livestreaming. Musicians like Christine and the Queens, Miley Cryus, and Elton John have plans to perform live via streaming services like Instagram, Facebook Live, and YouTube.
You can find a list of when and where to catch these artists' livestreams with these updating lists below.

Your Music Liaison Librarian
My name is Cory Aitchison, and I serve as the music liaison librarian for Pepperdine Libraries. This means I'm the music faculty and students' go-to person for any questions related to music. I've played piano for sixteen years. I originally attended Moorpark College as a music major and was part of their applied music program, which was a combination of music theory and performance courses. I ultimately switched my major to anthropology before transferring to UCLA, but I continued my music education through music history courses, with topics ranging from baroque opera to electronic dance music.
During this time of shelter-in-place and working remotely, I continue to support the music department through a variety of tasks. Among other responsibilities, I oversee our Performing Ensembles collection. These scores and instrumental parts are used by Pepperdine's orchestra, band, and jazz performance students. The collection is expansive, with hundreds of pieces spanning all styles of classical music. Over the past few years from my office desk—and over the last couple of weeks from my temporary home office—I have added these materials to Pepperdine Libraries' catalog.
If you are a music student or faculty member, please don't hesitate to reach out if you need help or would like to chat. My contact information is found here.

Q: ZSH command not found I realize this question has been asked a ton, but I feel like I've tried everything. I haven't had any issues with node or npm for months up until now. I am following Airtable Hello World Tutorial. I attached screenshots to save you time. They instruct you to:

*

*Download their npm package with npm install -g @airtable/blocks-cli.

*Then run (x's and y's are for authorization.)
block init xxxxxxxxx/yyyyyyyyyyyyy --template=https://github.com/Airtable/blocks-hello-world hello_world

*Followed by
cd hello_world

*Lastly
block run

This is where the issues start. I get an error that says zsh: command not found: block.

*I have tried changing my $PATH variable a few different times

*I added source ~/.bash_profile tp ,my ~/.zshrc

*I tried adding an alias to my ~/.zshrc

*I tried switching to bash and running the commands.

*This (StackOverflow) seems to be the same issue but didn't work for me.

Angel Moraes ft. Chanel – Stay With Me
Kenny Summit & Lenny RX continue to dish out the audible surprises on their new GFY Black Label with their second release coming from NYC House music legend, Angel Moraes! 'Stay With Me' comes with distinctive 90's piano house feel and features the lovely soulful vocals of Chanel, backed by dreamy synth sweeps and a catchy bass groove over pressure beats. Kenny Summit & Abdul Shakir get creative on a West Coast deep vibe, throwing a smoking male spoken word into the mix, creating a whole new story! Also on the package Lenny RX & Justin Time opt for an atmospheric melancholic vibe delivering a Deepah Dub laced with dark synth washes and percussive tribal beats and topping off the package, W. Jeremy takes us back to the old school with his techy Dub Dance Mix.
Angel Moraes is one of the best DJs and greatest underground dance music producers from NYC. A regular at both Jellybean's Fun House and Paradise Garage parties, Angel immersed himself on the the scene at a young age. Upon meeting Victor Simonelli who invited him to the studio, he decided to quit his day job to make music and the rest is history!.. Angels shining career saw him launch Hot n Spycy Recordings with partner Jeffrey Rodman (Sound Factory Bar and Twilo) releasing early works from 'Release Yourself' and 'The Cure' to making the now classics 'Welcome To The Factory', (dedicated to Junior Vasquez), 'Music Is Your Life', 'Shakedown', 'Magic Carpet' and more recently 'A Stereo Tribute'. He also worked on projects for The Pet Shop Boys, KD Lang, Jamie Myerson, Jocelyn Brown, Loleatta Holloway a nd Roy Davis Jr., among others.
"GFY Black Label is the first sub label of Good For You Records. When I started GFY in 2012 it immediately dawned on me that I would soon have to start a sister label to not only help balance out our release schedule, but also shed light on some of the producers who have influenced me over the years as well as open the public's eyes to some emerging artists in the dance music community" – Kenny Summit
Good For You Records boss, DJ and Producer, Kenny Summit, continues to focus on quality underground music. The releases on GFY along with his stable of artists speak for themselves: hiphop legends like Grand Puba and The Artifacts to house legends like Frankie Knuckles and Todd Terry, all present. In 2012 Kenny's reputation as a producer finally caught up with him as his 'Loving You' with Frankie Knuckles and Eric Kupper went to #1 on international house charts (and stayed there for over 2 months). Since then Kenny has released a string of underground goodies that have been embraced by house heads worldwide. New York native Lenny RX, the Co-founder of GFY Black Label with Kenny Summit, has been a staple in the underground dance scene in the NYC area for over a decade. Having recently discovered Angel Moraes' Stay With Me' on Soundcloud, Lenny convinced Angel to sign the song and release it with GFY Black Label – Lenny's first A&R project for the lane in the bagl! Forthcoming releases on GFY Black Label include Angel Moraes, J Paul Getto, Terrence Parker, Eddie Amador, Tedd Patterson, JR From Dallas, Lenny Rx and Kenny Summit – stay tuned!.. W. Jeremy is a NYC based DJ/Producer and is co-owner of the Get Up Recordings music label. He has produced under the moniker House of Stank with label partner, Christy Love, as well as independently. He has produced remixes for JD Samson's band, MEN, and The Cucarachas. Abdul Shakir, originating from the US East Coast, is now one of the East Coast's hottest house DJ's, holding down many residencies in his home town of LA.

A friend of mine runs a lovely club every month, where we get together, cook and eat.
She recently set up a blog where she posts about each meet and encourages people to start their own meets with their friends.
I offered to do the site design and illustrate some food to make it look as exciting as it really is.

Q: Is it possible to test an app on a device (ipad/iphone) without having the device connected? This is NOT a question about avoiding to pay apple, my boss has no problem paying the $99 enrolling fee to do the signing certificate stuff. Jailbreaking is not an option.
I have a customer that I am developing an app for, and they want to test/preview the app on their device, before traveling to the office to have a meeting about what to do with the app next.
Q 1. After doing research and finding guides on how to test on a device (http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/deploying-iphone-apps-real-devices) they all seem to say that the device has to be connected in order to be tested on is this the only way?
Q 2. Also, if I do get them to come into the office and set the device up to be tested on, will i be able to test it in the future without it being connect? Will I be able to somehow send them it?
Q 3. How exactly does distributing work, do you make a private app or something so only the customer that is having the app developed can use it, and not have it on the app store?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give or a link to point me in the right direction.

A: Here's the short of it.

*

*You get their UDID for their device and get a certificate from Apple (after paying the subscription).

*Then you build the app with the certificate for the device (not simulator) target.

*The user then installs the certificate. (they can just drag-drop on itunes).

*I believe the app should be zipped (like during submission to the store) but it's pretty much the same process as the certificate.

If you need links, I can provide them, but this is how it works.
In the future, if you build with that certificate, the user only has to re-install the application.  If the user is not connected to a Computer, you won't get Debug information, but they can run it to their hearts content.
Certificates expire after a while, so you'll have to get a new one every once and a while.  But it's not that much of an issue.

Strawberries and prosecco go together like peanut butter and chocolate, amIright? And strawberry season is right around the corner. I fell in love with Strawberries Romanoff when I visited my bestie in San Anotonio. A local restaurant chain serves it and it IS SO DELICIOUS! So I decided to figure out how to make it at home. I came up with the idea for a Strawberries Romanoff Dip. It's a great party dessert idea and pairs perfectly with prosecco!
You know when you are out somewhere and you taste something and you're like, "I NEED TO RECREATE THAT BECAUSE IT MAKES MY MOUTH SO HAPPY!"? That was me at a chain restaurant in Texas when I was visiting my best friend. This, my friends, is Strawberries Romanoff Dip. And it's crazy delicious. AND SO EASY! I'm sorry for yelling I'm just angry with myself for not recreating this earlier. Because now it's my go-to dish for entertaining. It works as an appetizer or dessert which is cool. Just pair it with the perfect bottle of prosecco and invite some friends over for a casual hang.
Sour cream, brown sugar and vanilla. What?! Plus some whipped cream. That's it! Some recipes call for brandy but I used vanilla so that it would be kid friendly. And I didn't have any brandy. And I used store-bought whipped cream because I'm lazy. I made homemade whipped cream a few weeks ago and used a whisk. My arm was sore for days. I could have used my mixer but I wanted to see if this swap out would work. And it does. Deliciously.
A nice bottle of prosecco, like this Voveti, takes this super simple fruit dessert and makes it an event. Voveti prosecco embodies affordable luxury (my favorite kind!) and classic style which makes it perfect for entertaining your friends with. Only 15,000 cases are produced annually which means they can really focus on the quality of this craft prosecco. Strawberries Romanoff is also a classic which I updated in to dip form. Doesn't it just sound like something your grandmother probably had in a fancy restaurant when she was in her 20's? Traditionally the berries are served in a dessert bowl and the sauce is poured over them. Serving it like a dip keeps it casual and cool.
I love fresh strawberries but they're even better with this Romanoff Dip!
In a mixing bowl, mix sour cream, vanilla and brown sugar until sugar dissolves.
The traditional way to serve this is with the sauce over the berries.
But I'm serving it like a dip here.
Prosecco is something that my friends don't tend to buy for themselves so serving it at a causal get together would be a nice surprise. It feels so elegant, but Voveti makes it approachable. It is fragrant and lightly sparkling and is the perfect "anytime" wine. And it's delicious! You don't need a reason to gather your friends and enjoy each other's company. And you don't need having them over turn in to a complicated ordeal. Whip up this simple Strawberries Romanoff Dip recipe, chill the Voveti Prosecco and relax for a night of fun with your friends.
Literally the Best Caramel Corn. Ever.

Compcompare the Ways in Which Larkin and Abse Write About Place.
Compare the ways in which Larkin and Abse write about place. You must include detailed critical discussion of at least two poems by Larkin in your response.
In timed conditions
Gemma N
Larkin and Abse both write about places in a very different, very unique style. One the one hand Larkin talks about the places of his past and how they are no longer accessible; the changing of a beautiful, unspoilt place to something short of an eyesore; a pace he is in but does not feel he belongs and even places within his mind. Alternatively Abse talks longingly of the places he once lived in, and how upsetting it is to find they are no longer the same. Some examples of the copious amount to choose from include Here, Mr Bleaney and Sunny Prestalyn, …show more content…
In addition, the fourth stanza describes the tenant "stuffing" his "ears with cotton wool". By the persona doing this, he is dulling one of his five senses to the outside world around him, making him seem as though he is in an insufferable place where you simply cannot bear the full force of such a situation, instead just wanting to escape. Moreover, one could argue that the bed is justified as a place in itself, a place of warmth and security; a place where you can relax. However, Larkin portrays the bed in Mr Bleaney to be the exact opposite of this. Larkin's persona watched the "frigid wind" and lay on the "fusty bed". This juxtaposition suggests two things. Frigid is ambiguous, one may refer to it as someone lacking warmth however one may also refer to one who is unable or unwilling to respond sexually as frigid. This juxtaposition therefore suggests that this place, Mr Bleaneys bed, was not a place of love and passion but a "frigid" bed of a lonely man.
Alternatively Dannie Abse writes about places with a heavy heart; he cannot now feel like he belongs, yet dissimilarly to Larkin, this bothers him. One example of this is in Last Visit to 198 Cathedral Road. The simile "When like a burglar" in the first line insinuates that, although he returns he feels unwanted and even more so, does not feel like he belongs. He no longer knows his

Wan-Bissaka set to become Man United's most expensive defender
Game-time decision Monday
Author: Julie Sanders Apr 21, 2017,
Boston's injury-riddled roster and lack of depth were on display in the loss.
Tyler Bozak scored 1:37 into overtime to cap Toronto's comeback from two goals down in the second period, and the Maple Leafs beat the Washington Capitals 4-3 Monday night to take a 2-1 lead in the first-round series.
"I always say that you make your money during the season, but you make your reputation in the playoffs, and right now he's showing everybody that he's a gamer", Senators coach Guy Boucher said of Ryan. At the other end, Rask was fortunate when a blast by Mike Hoffman, seeking his third goal of the game, rang off the iron.
Noel Acciari, David Backes and David Pastrnak answered for the Bruins in their second straight three-goal second period.
Anderson stopped all nine shots Boston sent his way in the third and Rask brushed aside seven to send the game to overtime. John-Michael Liles assisted on two of Boston's three goals.
In the first game of the playoff last week in Ottawa, it was the Senators who could not hang on to a 1-0 lead heading into the third period, in which the Bruins scored twice to take a 2-1 win. Hoffman lit the lamp for the second time to open up the game 3-0. It's going to probably be the most intense game of the series so far.
But the spandex set eventually disappeared, to be replaced that night by the city's hard-core hockey fans, who haven't had an NHL playoff game at which to vent their excitement since 2014, the last time the Bruins played a home playoff date.
Help is on the way for the banged-up Boston Bruins as they fight to keep their Stanley Cup Playoff hopes alive. Craig Anderson finished with 17 saves.
"It was tough. You've got to stay postive as much as you can", Hoffman said. But at the same time I think we can do a much better job making sure that he doesn't get to play his game as much as he wants to. He's also turned the puck over when trying to force passes instead of taking his own shots.
In overtime, on a night where the whistles were essentially put away late, Ottawa got a gift power play as the officials somehow seemed fit to call Riley Nash with the retaliation after a play where Ryan could have easily been whistled as well with coincidental minors, or even Ryan going off solo. The unit stood tall again a short while later when the club was called for too many men.
Overall, Rask has faced just nine shots from the high-danger area at even strength, stopping all of them, while allowing two goals on 10 shots from the medium-danger area. Colin Miller skated during warmups but missed his second straight game after suffering a lower-body injury in Game 1.
Miller had been knocked out of the lineup when he was felled by a leg check by the Sens' Mark Borowiecki in Game 1 of the series.
Blues forward David Perron said Allen never got rattled during his struggles.

Fed Up With America's Sugar Addiction
Fed-Up, a documentary film directed by Stephanie Soechtig, narrated by Katie Couric, and written by Mark Monroe and Ms. Soechtig (92 minutes) [Distributed by Radius-TWC, a boutique label from the Weinstein Company, 2014]
"Move more, eat less" has always seemed to provide an easily understood remedy for losing excess bodyweight. Burn more calories than you eat, and you'll lose the pounds. With some determination and self-control, no need to carry around a layer of fat.
Fed-Up hammers home the point that what may seem so simple does not provide the answer to the extraordinary obesity epidemic that is raging in the U.S. and which, thanks to the popularity of the American fast food diet, has spread around the world. Following the personal stories of four obese young Americans (geographically diverse, living in Houston, Oklahoma City, a small town in South Carolina, and California) and their individual failures to improve their health and lose weight, Fed-Up makes plain that a sugar addiction (as powerful as an addiction to drugs like cocaine) has taken control of their eating habits. The obesity of these young Americans is not the result of their personal irresponsibility. Rather, this fearless documentary courageously places the blame on industrial food corporations that have added sugar (in its various forms) to their edible food products and beverages in order to increase sales and profit irregardless of health consequences.
This must-see film includes an array of interviews of physicians, nutritionists, scientists and other experts which adds special meaning to the telling of the personal struggles of the four young and obese Americans. No surprise to hear from the ever-thoughtful and articulate Michael Pollan and Marion Nestle, and kudos to the filmmakers for recognizing the credible voice of Dr. David A. Kessler and including his commentary. Dr. Kessler, the former Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), appointed in 1990 by the first President Bush and reappointed commissioner by President Bill Clinton, was one of the first to discuss the addictive nature of fat, sugar and salt. Unafraid to critique the food industry, whose mission is to get consumers to consume and which uses advertising to promote a culture of constant snacking, drinking and eating, Dr. Kessler early-on cited research in neuroscience and psychology, in his prescient The End of Overeating, Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite (Rodale, Distributed to the trade by Macmillan, New York, 2009), which established that foods high in fat, salt and sugar alter the brain's chemistry, stimulating release of dopamine, which is associated with feelings of pleasure. (An adaptation by Dr. Kessler of The End of Overeating aimed at young adults titled Your Food is Fooling You: How Your Brain is Hijacked by Sugar, Fat, and Salt was recently published.)
Fed-Up has narrowed the focus to emphasize the addictive nature of sugar, since more than salt and fat, sugar consumption has spawned the obesity epidemic. Like Dr. Kessler, the filmmakers are unafraid to criticize the sophisticated marketing by the food industry which raises the hackles of the viewer since children are the frequent targets for the industry's advertisements. It's been estimated that children view nearly 4,000 food related ads each year, and 98% of these ads are for products high in fat, sugar and sodium. Of the 600,000 food items sold in America, 80% have added sugar, and the food industry is not just pushing hard to sell cookies and desserts. The cereal aisle in the modern supermarket is a danger zone. In 2012, every five days, Americans consumed an average of 765 grams of sugar which over one year equals 130 pounds of sugar. To burn off the calories in one 20 ounce bottle of soda, a 110 pound child would have to ride a bike for 75 minutes. No wonder that "move more, eat less" does not provide the simple answer.
Fed-Up is a wake-up call to all Americans and effectively tells the maddening story how the sugar and processed food industry has resisted attempts to set reasonable guidelines for limiting the consumption of sugar as far back as the late 1970s. In particular, the film shows how industrial agriculture's powerful lobby in Washington has succeeded in keeping the FDA's standardized Nutrition Facts Label from requiring information on the "Daily Value" for the consumption of sugar despite recognition by other federal agencies that intake of added sugar should be limited.
The federal Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and of Health and Human Services (HHS) jointly issue and update every five years, "The Dietary Guidelines for Americans," described as "the cornerstone of Federal nutrition policy and nutrition education activities." The current guidelines note that Americans consume too many calories from solid fats, added sugar and refined grains, and that "healthy eating" limits intake of sodium, solid fats, added sugar and refined grains. The guidelines note that "healthy eating" emphasizes "nutrient-dense foods and beverages- vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, seafood, lean meats and poultry, eggs, beans and peas, and nuts and seeds." Nonetheless, the FDA, responsible for regulating the standardized Nutrition Facts Label required to appear on retail food products, has not provided a Daily Value for the consumption of sugar.
The Nutrition Facts Label separates "key nutrients" that "impact" health into two main groups, nutrients that "should be limited" and nutrients that consumers "should get enough of." For Total Fat, Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium, all nutrients that should be limited, the Nutrition Facts Label provides the "Daily Value" for their consumption and also indicates the percentage daily value for these nutrients (based on a serving size of the particular food product). For example, for a 2,500 calories diet, total fat should be less than 80 grams; saturated fat, less than 25 grams; cholesterol less than 300 milligrams; and sodium less than 2,400 milligrams. Why has the FDA failed to require that the standardized Nutrition Facts label, show specific information on the "Daily Value" for the consumption of sugar and the percentage of such "Daily Value" which is reached by the consumption of a serving size of the particular retail food product? The answer is simple. The powerful lobby in Washington of the sugar and processed food industry has been successful in keeping specific information on the "Daily Value" for the consumption of sugar off the standardized Nutrition Facts Label.
As Michael Pollan has pointed out, sugar is often a "hidden" ingredient in processed food and his advice on the consumption of sugar and other sweeteners in his Food Rules, An Eater's Manual (a reference book worth reviewing on a regular basis) includes all types of sugar in the same "avoidance" category. Pollan's Rule 4, "Avoid food products that contain high-fructose corn syrup," (as noted in the book review on this website) is "not because high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is any worse for you than sugar, but because it is, like many of the other unfamiliar ingredients in packaged foods, a reliable marker for a food product that has been highly processed . . . [and] it is being added to hundreds of foods that have not traditionally been sweetened." Consequently, if HFCS is avoided, "you will cut down on your sugar intake." His Rule 5, "Avoid foods that have some form of sugar (or sweetener) listed among the top three ingredients," closely complements Rule 4. Pollan explains that "sugar is sugar," and this avoidance of sugar guideline makes no exception for honey or molasses or maple syrup. The "so on" in the long list specified by Pollan of the "now some forty types of sugar used in processed food, including barley malt, beet sugar, brown rice syrup, cane juice, corn sweetener, dextrin, dextrose, fruicto-oligosaccharides, fruit juice concentrate, glucose, sucrose, invert sugar, polydextrose, sucrose, turbinado sugar, and so on" likely includes honey, molasses and maple syrup. Pollan even goes so far as "To repeat: Sugar is sugar. And organic sugar is sugar too." Finally, he kiboshes any attempt to satisfy a sugar craving by using "non-caloric sweeteners such as aspartame or Splenda . . . (which) do not lead to weight loss, for reasons not yet well understood" though he suggests an explanation that rings true: "deceiving the brain with the reward of sweetness stimulates a craving for even more sweetness."
The current draft guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO) point out that sugars should make up less than 10% of total energy intake (calories consumed) per day, which is equivalent to less than 50 grams (approximately 12 teaspoons) of sugar per day for an adult of normal Body Mass Index. The FDA candidly admits in its explanation on "How to Understand and Use the Nutrition Facts Label" that "No daily reference value has been established for sugars because no recommendations have been made for the total amount to eat in a day." Nonetheless, the Nutrition Facts Label does indicate the number of grams of sugar in a serving, and the adult consumer can use this label to keep track of sugar consumption. As noted above, every five days, Americans consume an average of 765 grams of sugar or over 150 grams per day, an amount three times greater than the WHO's suggested daily limit of less that 50 grams per day of sugar.
Perhaps, Fed-Up hammers its points home somewhat repetitively, but the film's message is so important that any repetition is easily swallowed by the viewer. Go see this film. And send a message to the FDA that the standardized Nutrition Facts Label should include specific information on the "Daily Value" for the consumption of sugar based on the WHO's less than 50 grams of sugar per day.

So, you have been thinking about your online privacy, and you have decided you need to take some steps to protect your privacy online.
Whatever the reason for this may be (and there are a lot of different reasons), browser extensions are an excellent way to defend that privacy. But how do you know which is the best? How do you know which to download?
What do they do? All great questions, and fortunately for you, I've done all the hard work.
To put it simply, a browser extension or an add-on is a piece of software that just extend your browser. Be this with additional features, modification of web pages or integrating your browser with other services you are using.
Does it matter which browser I am using?
Each browser will have different extension systems. Currently, Firefox has the most powerful and lots of extensions are possible on Firefox that isn't elsewhere. Chrome will also have an extension for most of what you may want to do.
There are more limits on browser extensions in Chrome than there are in Firefox and they aren't quite as potent. Extensions are available for Safari, but the range is much smaller.
What do I need to know about the Australian Metadata retention scheme?
This law forces providers to store information generates by customers using the internet. This report shows where, when, to whom and how often you do something using the internet. If you don't want this information to be visible, a browser extension might be a good idea.
What are the four best browser extensions to protect your privacy online?
Here are the four best browser extensions to protect your online privacy, and some quick info on what makes them stand out as one of the best.
This add-on is available for Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. uBlock Origin is said to use much less memory than other extensions but still, has the same functionality. This add-on has a huge number of users.
This add-on is available for Chrome and Firefox. Lots of sit use trackers to make for a better user experience.
But trackers can slow down a website and make your information less secure. Ghostery makes these trackers visible on the site and enables you to control the ones you don't want.
This add-on is available for Chrome and Firefox. Many sites offer limited encryption support for HTTPS, but it's hard to use. For example, they might default to un-encrypted HTTPS. HTTPS Everywhere fixes these problems by rewriting the requests to these sites.
This extension will work for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
The ExpressVPN add-on is a user-friendly VPN app which is easy to setup and use for effortless privacy and security control.

Arizona Court of Appeals Confirms That Arizona's Anti-Deficiency Statutes Don't Apply To Vacant Land
Confusion has plagued the courts following the M&I Marshall and Ilsley Bank v. Mueller decision over whether the anti-deficiency statutes apply to vacant land. Prior to Mueller, 228 Ariz. 478 (App. 2011), everyone understood that Arizona's anti-deficiency statutes were limited to properties that meet the following criteria:
single family home or duplex;
situated on 2½ acres or less; and
actually utilized as a dwelling.
Following Mueller, the confusion revolves around the third requirement: whether the property was "utilized as a dwelling." Common sense says that in order for the borrower to "utilize the property as a dwelling," the property must actually contain a dwelling. So that would seem to rule out vacant land.
But in the M&I Bank v. Mueller decision, the trial Court (the Hon. Edward Burke) and the Court of Appeals surprised everyone and ruled that property can be "utilized as a dwelling" as long as the borrower proves that he "intended" to utilize the property as a dwelling.
Thus, the Mueller decision opened the door for borrowers' attorneys to argue that the anti-deficiency statutes apply to even vacant land as long as the borrower signs an affidavit swearing that they intended to use the property as a dwelling.
Following Mueller, the key evidence in deficiency actions has centered on the borrower's loan application which almost always requires the borrower to swear to their intent regarding occupancy of the property.
In an apparent moment of vindication for M&I Bank (BMO Harris is M&I Bank's Canadian predecessor in interest). In the BMO Harris v. Wildwood case, that **** in a Court of Appeals clarified and confirmed that Arizona's anti-deficiency statutes "do not apply to vacant land." See BMO Harris v. Wildwood, [insert citation] (January 2014).
Importantly, the court was careful to limit its ruling to the specific facts of the Wildwood case. For example, in Wildwood, the property truly was vacant. There were no improvements or any construction that took place on the property. It was "vacant" throughout the term of the loan. See Wildwood at Paragraph 10. Further, although the borrowers in Wildwood swore in affidavits that they intended to build a home on the property to utilize as their dwelling, the clever bank submitted evidence showing that the borrowers in fact "owned three separate parcels, each of which they purportedly intended to use as their "primary residence." Id. at Paragraph 5.
Regardless, the Trial Court found that no material evidence contradicted the borrowers' affidavits and ruled in their favor because they intended to occupy the property as their primary residence notwithstanding that the property was vacant land.
In Wildwood, the Court of Appeals overruled the Trial Court and clarified that the anti-deficiency statutes "do not apply to vacant land." Id. at Paragraph 10.
But in limiting the Court's ruling to the limited facts of Wildwood, the Court of Appeals clarified that it was not overruling Mueller but that instead did not apply to the facts in this case because in Mueller "construction of the dwelling had commenced." Thus, the Wildwood Court left open the door for applying the anti-deficiency statutes to cases where some construction or improvements had commenced on the property. As discussed by Judge Kessler in the concurring opinion, what level of construction is necessary is still unknown. For example, where will the Courts draw the line between the lack of any construction and an almost completed dwelling to determine if the borrower is protected by the anti-deficiency statutes? If the lot has been excavated does the anti-deficiency statute apply? If the foundation has been laid? If the framing has been completed?

Q: Flask session variable keyerror thecurrentpage The flask session variable is not accessible during program execution as deployed. I am using ubuntu 18.04 uwsgi 2.0.19.1 and python 3.7.2 to publish a flask app on GCP Compute Engine. Everything looks good on www.minusthemiddleman.com except for when I try to go to page two of my search. Then I get a message:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.
It's interesting because the debugging that I have done has shown that a specific variable that I store in session is not available. I've tried padding the code with more storage opportunities and also made session permanent and neither fix has resolved the issue. At first coding with more session writes seemed to work in the dev.ini. Then they failed when pushed out to the www. Going further, I tried to make session permanent to no lasting effect there either.
I've done some additional reading and found a possible solution with Gunicorn. Does anyone have experience with switching from uwsgi to Gunicorn to solve this kind of problem or should I look to other solutions? Can uwsgi be used to help serve out a Flask App or is this just now done this way? Please share your experiences and Thanks ahead of time for your efforts.

Q: Visual Studio Code ES7/JS Intellisense I'm trying to use Visual Studio Code to edit files in a react starter kit project.  The React project uses Babel for trans-piling, and so it has only .js files instead of .ts files.  I would like VS Code to provide proper intellisense for these files...including new async/await Javascript keywords.
So far I can only get intellisense to work properly if I rename the extension of files from .js to .ts, but I don't want to convert the whole project just to suit my personal tool choices.
Is there a way to make VS Code treat .js files as if they were .ts files...simply for the sake of ES7 intellisense?  I spotted a thread of discussion about this, but I'm not sure what options are available today.  I also tried adding a tsconfig.json file that looks like this:
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es6"  //An "es7" option is not yet legal
  },
  "filesGlob": [
    "./**/*.js",
    "!./node_modules/**/*.js"
  ]
}

I hoped this would trick Typescript into acknowledging .js files, but no luck.
Ultimately I would just like to have ES7 intellisense in VS Code. If there is an entirely different way to achieve this, that would also be welcome.  For that matter, if there is an alternative to VS Code that provides the equivalent of intellisense for ES7 Javascript, I'm interested to know about that too.

A:
Visual Studio Code

*

*VSCode doesn't support filesGlob. Its an atom-ts only thing at the moment.

*To use .js files you need enable allowJs
Solution
tsconfig.json:
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES6",
    "allowJs": true,
  },
  exclude: ["node_modules"]
}

Note: Target es6 gives you all the latest features (including any es7 ones) http://json.schemastore.org/tsconfig

Q: Finding the dimension of subspace $S=\{ \left[\begin{smallmatrix} a & b\\ c & d\\ \end{smallmatrix}\right] \mid c = a + b, d=a \}.$
Let the subspace $S$ from $M_{2\times2}$: $$S=\left\{ \begin{bmatrix}
a & b\\
c & d\\
\end{bmatrix} \mid c = a + b\textrm{ and }d=a \right\}.$$ What is the dimension of $S$?

According to the answer key, $\dim (S)=2$. Why is it not $\dim(S)=2\times2=4$? What am I missing?

A: Once you have determined $a$ and $b$, you already know what $c$ and $d$ should be. It's imposed on you. Hence, the dimension of the subspace, which can be thought of as the number of independent variables in this case, is $2$. You can also prove this rigorously by showing that
$$B=\left\{\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0\\1 & 1\\\end{bmatrix},\begin{bmatrix}0 & 1\\
1 & 0\\\end{bmatrix}\right\}$$
is a basis for this subspace, i.e. $S$ is spanned by those two matrices and they are linearly independent.

A: The subspace $S$ consist of matrices of the form
$
\begin{pmatrix}
  a & b \\
 a+b& a \\
\end{pmatrix}
$. Every such matrix can be written as a linear combination
$$
\begin{pmatrix}
  a & b \\
 a+b& a \\
\end{pmatrix}=
a\begin{pmatrix}
  1 & 0 \\
  1 & 1 \\
\end{pmatrix}+
b\begin{pmatrix}
  0 & 1 \\
  1 & 0 \\
\end{pmatrix}.
$$
If you also check that the matrices
$\begin{pmatrix}
  1 & 0 \\
  1 & 1 \\
\end{pmatrix}$, $\begin{pmatrix}
  0 & 1 \\
  1 & 0 \\
\end{pmatrix}$ are linearly independent, you get that this is a basis for $S$.

A: $S$ is $2$ dimensional.   $M_{2×2}\cong\mathbb F^4$, where $\mathbb F$ is the field you are working over.
A basis for $S$ is $\{\begin {pmatrix} 1&0\\1&1\end{pmatrix},\begin{pmatrix}1&1\\2&1\end{pmatrix}\}$.


Medicine Lodge Cresset, November 19, 1880.
Geo. Riter, who has been holding cattle on Big Mule creek, Comanche county, Kansas, was in Green's saloon at Sun City, engaged in a game of billiards with one Hopper, and made a bet with Green Adams and Lee Adams on the result of the game, Riter lost the first game, and then offered to double the bet, which was taken.
This time Riter won, when an altercation took place, in regard to giving up the stakes, which were, however, finally handed over to Riter, who, reaching in his pocket for a glove in which he kept his money, found, as he says, that it was gone. He then accused Adams and Green of having robbed him, whereupon Adams knocked him down and took his revolver from him.
Riter says that he then ordered everyone to stay in the room until a search was made for his money, and that Adams and Green started to leave. He followed outside the door and snatched the revolver from Adams, who started to run. Riter then fired two shoots at Adams, the first missing him, the second striking him in the right hip, the ball ranging upward and inward, through his bowels and lodging in his left groin.
Riter then turned his attention to Green, who started to run in the opposite direction, and fired three shots at him, one of the balls grazing his leg and another making a painful, though not necessarily a dangerous wound the ball striking him in the back, some two inches from the spine, passing through the spleen and out, two inches below his heart.
Dr. Kessler who had been called to Sun City to visit a patient, was present when the shooting occurred, and rendered the wounded men all the surgical assistance necessary. Examination showed that Adams was fatally wounded and could receive no assistance, other than an alleviation of his sufferings. His death occurred on Monday, at 5 o'clock P. M. Green, at last accounts, was recovering.
Riter was immediately arrested and his preliminary examination set for 1 o'clock, Monday; a continuance, however, was granted by Justice Davis, until next Monday. The prisoner, meanwhile, was released from custody, on giving bail to the amount of $2,000.00. The attorneys in the case are, J. T. Whitelaw, for State; Ed Sample and Orner & McNeal, for defense.
It is not our place to express any opinion as to the guilt of innocence of the parties engaged in this affair, but one thing is moderately certain: If there had been no whiskey shop at Sun City, there would be one less widow there today and one man whose mind would not now be burdened with the prospect of a trial for his life.
Col. Pepperd, of Big Mule creek, Comanche County, Kansas, came over on Monday for the purpose of signing Riter's bond for his appearance at court. Mr. Pepperd has a herd of about thirty-five hundred head of cattle in Comanche County.
William Adams and wife and Green Adams, were here from Sun City, Monday to attend the examination of Riter.
Johnson M. Adams, Baptist minister in Sun City, father of Leander "Lee" Adams and Green Adams.

Graduated in 2016 with a major in Professional Music. Principal instrument: voice.
Position: Senior Account Executive (account management) at Hazmat Media, a modest size (10-15 employee) distribution warehouse which specializes in packaging and sending out product to influential people as part of marketing campaigns, including movies makers seeking Academy Awards. Pamela's job is to be in touch with the customers, overseeing everything related to the order being placed, send to their warehourse, then packaged and shipped properly and followed-up on. During the slow season she'll also call customers to see if they need any more work done, and during the busy season she'll sometimes help with the actual packaging. "We all have no qualms about staying late to meet client deadlines. Nobody including the president is above stuffing envelopes."
Overview: Pamela grew up overseas, with her father in the military and stationed at U.S. embassies. From age 16 through college she would do administrative work at embassies–mostly helping U.S. citizens with passport issues–and found she enjoyed it. Pamela and her boyfriend graduated Berklee at the same time and moved to L.A. Needing to make money right away, and given her experience she figured it would be easier to quickly find an administrative job than a music one.
She signed up with a temp agency, which placed her at Hazmat, in a more junior role. Within a few months, she was hired as a regular employee. About 6 months after that the senior person left the company. She started doing their job and, one successful busy season later, was officially promoted to her position and given a good raise.
You can see Pamela's LinkedIn profile here.
Choice Quotes: ""I really enjoy the client relations. I enjoy doing my job well and making the client happy and making sure everything runs smoothly. I like being part of the machine that makes these product launches and award-winning films possible."
"I still look at Berklee fondly and learned a lot while there. You don't have to do something in music. If you have other qualifications, your Berklee background shouldn't hold you back. Follow what you think is right and don't be afraid to try new things."
"The course load was a lot larger at Berklee than most schools, and that got me good at multitasking in a high-intensity environment–including the busy season at my job when there are a million expectations."
"Temp agencies are your friend. They're the middleman between what you already know how to do . I've known many people who have had success using temp agencies, esp. if you don't have any direct connections."

MLB Rumors at MLBnewsonline.com: A-Rod or A-Roid?
If Rodriguez (and 103 other players) tested positive, why weren't they disciplined? Because the 2003 testing was part of a deal with players to conduct the testing but have the results remain anonymous. So nobody who tested positive in this process was punished.
The list of 104 players testing positive was obtained by federal investigators looking into the BALCO mess via a search warrant served on the lab that conducted some of the testing.
What impact might this have on Rodriguez? Probably none. If the guy can survive rumors he was fooling around with the married, 50-year-old Madonna, he can survive this hit, too.


I love the gallery wall above her bed! I definitely want to create something similar, maybe with a few less items. I do want to add textures, and and add a few inspirational quotes or photos. I think waking up to an inspirational wall, or having it visible right when you walk into a space, is definitely a great way to begin your day.
The above bedroom is the room of Jess from Bows and Sequins. Seriously her room is perfect, and similar to what I had in mind. I love how airy it feels, while still having plenty of feminine touches. I also feel like her room is very grown up and tailored while still having good mixtures of texture.
Similar to my blog, I plan to do a lot of white, with touches of gold, blush, and navy. I want the main color to be white to keep it light and airy. I plan to get furniture that has a white finish, and white bedding. I plan to reuse the blush quilt I had in my dorm room senior year at the foot of my bed, and then add some fun pillows! I also want to add some gray into the room because I think gray is a calming neutral. Here is a mock up of the bed I want to create, but with a C monogram pillow, obviously!
I'll have a very light gray stripe on my bedding, and a blush quilt on the foot of the bed. I will also have two side tables that I plan to decorate with candles, lamps, and flowers on one and coffee table books on the other. I will also be putting a dresser in my room. But other than that, I am trying to cut down on furniture. Depending on space, I MAY add a small makeup station.
Where are your favorite places to find deals on furniture for a first place?
I am SO excited to announce that I recently signed a lease for a townhouse in Williamsburg, VA! Signing the lease made it feel much more real that I'm moving east, and that change is occurring, but I'm so excited! I'm living with two roommates, one from Alabama and one from New York. I met them at admitted students weekend, and they are both super super nice, and we were always be on the same page while we were looking a various places. Anyway, I could not be more excited about living OUT of the residence halls, and I am SO excited to begin decorating my little sanctuary of a room in the new place. After four years of dorm furniture and clutter, I'm going minimalist on the room layout. I want everything white and bright and airy and comfortable! In other words, I want hardly any clunky furniture, a lot of clean lines, and soft textures. So, today I wanted to share a little inspiration board, which is what I'm going for as of now!
As you've probably realized, I have a thing for gold, navy and blush together. I love the airy shade of blush, with the pop of glitz that is gold, and navy is classic and a color I never get sick of. I want white furniture, with a cute gallery wall, and candles. The way our townhouse is set up, I have the smallest room, so rather than have my desk in my bedroom, I'm going to commandeer the little loft space we have (my roommates approved) as an office space. In order to keep our place presentable and cute, I am going to do a clean white desk, with hopefully the gold scalloped bulletin board above it, a gold desk lamp, and some fun desk supplies! I also LOVE the idea of doing a padded, patterned chair with it. If I'm going to be a slave to my desk while in law school, I at least want to be comfortable!
In my bedroom, I plan to do the scalloped bed or something similar, with white bedding, colorful throw pillows, and a blanket at the foot of my bed, then I will keep all my books in a white bookcase, along with some nick knack items. I will also need to get a set of drawers because I have so many clothes… and I need to take my whole wardrobe with me since I can't just run home and swap seasons. So, I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to items or rooms styles I want to emulate (it's called 'adulting' because even though I'm an adult, moving into an actual townhouse makes it feel more real).
A lot of the items I am inspired by are a little expensive, so I'm going to look for cheaper versions, or may DIY some stuff! Regardless, I am so so excited to start looking for decorations and to work with my roommates on the rest of the house! One of my roommates already has some amazing stuff that she'll be bringing so I think it's going to be a great place!
After living in the residence halls for three and a half years, I'm feeling a little antsy. I'm loving my job, but I am also really looking forward to feeling slightly more adult and independent by having an apartment of some kind. Depending on what I end up doing for law school, I will likely either live on campus or live off campus. Regardless, I will have some sort of apartment style housing (with separate rooms for my kitchen, bedroom, and living area…that is insane!) I was recently scrolling through Pinterest, and couldn't help but totally obsess about how cute some people's apartments are! Seriously, some people really have a great sense of style that translates super well into their homes! So, without further ado, I wanted to share with you my favorite rooms/greatest inspiration I came across on Pinterest.
There is something about a gallery wall that I just love, especially in a living room above a beautiful couch! I love the look of layering textures and colors with phrases and other things to create an amazing gallery! I think gallery walls are also a really great way to show your personality in your apartment or home without being totally overpowering.
Something I think is super important in a home is comfort. I love lush fabrics and rooms that just look totally comfortable while also being really pretty. I love super puffy duvet covers and throw pillows and comfortable blankets! The room with a huge black and white print of JFK is perfect. I want to get my favorite print of Audrey Hepburn blown up and framed to put over my bed! I also love a good headboard. The shape of the headboard in the last photo is perfect. I love it! I'm also partial to fabric based headboards rather than wood headboards.
What decor do you think makes a home?
