Classification and Cataloging
J. Bradford Young
Music libraries classify and arrange their collections by content according to one of several systems. The M schedule of the Library of Congress (LC) Classification, developed by oscar g.t. Sonneck in 1902, is the most widely used. It was taken up by many other libraries to reduce cataloging costs, when the Library of Congress increased the distribution of its printed catalog cards. The Dewey decimal classification (DDC), still in use especially in public libraries, did not distinguish music from music literature until 1958 (16th edition), by which time many libraries had abandoned it. The 1989 edition (20th edition) of the DDC included a wholly new schedule for music, which is highly faceted with a capacity for synthesis. Complex topics, such as German Baroque choral cantatas for Christmas, can be expressed. This feature has, to date, attracted little interest in the United States. A previous multi-faceted scheme, devised in 1938 by George Sherman Dickinson for the scores of Vassar College, although adapted at Columbia University and SUNY Buffalo, is not widely used. Some research libraries established before ...

'Domingo a Las 4:' a new outdoor photography installation about finding community as an immigrant in New York City: Bushwick Daily
By: Cheryl J. Myers
In: Photography art
It was a chilly Sunday afternoon when I first made my way to the soccer field at the Reinaldo Salgado playground, but the sun was shining bright, its light bouncing off the photographs which now hang inside. the gate along the field. It was my first time there, but as I walked along the lawn I was able to see documented memories of the games played and portraits of the people who played them. For me, it was as if I was in dialogue with the space itself and the community that surrounds it.
On the Reinaldo Salgado Playground, you can see the art installation by Mateo Arciniegas Huertas "Domingo a las 4", which shows what a typical day looks like for a fútbol (English football) player as part of the Inter Milan team, named after the Italian professional team.
The outdoor exhibit is made up of 16 portraits of teammates and players from the Liga Gorytos Sports league curated by a member of the community known as "El Profe", a colloquial term for "the professor". El Profe and the majority of the players are part of the region's large Ecuadorian immigrant community.

For Huertas, a Bushwick-based Colombian photographer who has lived in the same apartment for six years, it was during the pandemic that he ventured to learn more about his community and became a frequent player at the Reinaldo playground. Salgado.
"The importance of this project is like one more step towards realizing this feeling of belonging which, I think for many people who come from Latin America, is to find this sense of community", Huertas told the Bushwick Daily. "As Latinos we are very family oriented. We like to be around people. We are very warm. We do things with friends and family all the time.
One of the team's organizers, Edwin Pullatasig, also known as "Memo" among his community, introduced Huertas to the league in 2020.
"We used to play on the pitch at Wilson and Knickerbocker and [Huertas] would be sitting there with the sports clothes on. He would be sitting there and we needed a player. So we saw him and we said to him, 'Come and play,' "Pullatasig told the Bushwick Daily." And just like that, I said to him, 'Come on, there is another field where we play. by Madison. "

"We just started to bond," Huertas added. "He's from Ecuador and I'm from Colombia, so there's this mutual thing that we share, all of Latin America shares it, I think, but these neighboring countries have a little more close ties."
"In fact, I haven't played football regularly before that for years, many years," Huertas continued. "When I was growing up in Colombia, I was part of a club there and I went every weekend to play in a league. It's kind of the same as here you know, training maybe one or two days a week. Sunday was game day for my team and my league when I was growing up.
The name of the facility, Domingo a las 4 (Sundays at 4 a.m.), is a nod to the weekly routine of people who come to play fútbol at the Reinaldo Salgado.
"Come and play," Pullatasig said, "because it's awesome. By the time you go out to play, you forget everything else, all the worries you think about, and you feel good.

The exhibition was produced in partnership with ACOMPI, a New York-based curatorial project that strives to highlight under-represented voices and narratives grounded in interdisciplinary practices. The name refers to the Spanish word "acompañado", which means "in company".
Founders Constanza Valenzuela and Jack Radley shared with Bushwick Daily that Domingo a las 4 was developed with accessibility in mind.
"These photos are completely different in a park where the backdrop is the neighborhood and not in a white space in a small room," Valenzuela said. "It makes for a completely different experience, viewing these images above the brownstone architecture of Bed-Stuy and the community. It forces people to engage a bit more, and that's why we also wanted Domingo a las 4 to be inside the pitch so that it invites people to come in and not just pass.
According to Huertas, the people who come to watch games are often families. Many vendors during the league are in the field from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. selling Ecuadorian food. They usually offer rice, chicken, empanadas, soups, and sometimes canelazo, an alcoholic drink made from cinnamon and sugar cane, when it's cold.
The games are a time of community engagement, said Huertas, who said he finally feels out of place in New York after ten years in the United States.
"I think as young people we go from the train home, maybe to the local bar, maybe for take out," Huertas said. "You don't really engage with your surroundings and you don't know your neighbors. Maybe you see your neighbor, but do you know his name, do you know where he is from? "
Huertas and his mother came to the United States to seek asylum due to the Colombian political climate, and he was unable to return to his home country seven years later due to all the procedure associated with the application. asylum.

"I think it really touched me and made me think about the diaspora and being far from home," Huertas said.
"My work revolves around the question of being, first of all, Colombian, and of being Colombian far from Colombia", he continued. "I wanted to kind of, in my work, try to give a voice to help people who are maybe not as privileged as us, and, I think with my work, I want to show a side of Colombia. which is not a tragedy and death like what we are used to seeing.
You can see more photographs of Huertas on his website, where he has different series that reflect his personal life, including Olvido Pa 'Recordar, which was shortlisted by the Helsinki Photo Festival. The series started out more as a photojournalistic project on Colombia, but Huertas then noticed a change in the photographs he was taking.
"I realized through the work that what I really wanted to do, and what these photos show, is a really personal story about me and my journey," said Huertas, who also shared that he always had struggled with the idea of assimilating to the culture of the United States. "It is I who enter into my cultural identity, I try to find this feeling of belonging which is not there: how times have changed, the family is dead, the friends have aged, the people with whom I 've hung out then with whom I no longer hang out. I met new people, I relive memories of my home and then find new ones. There is always an emotional and geographical distance that I have with Colombia. Maybe it's like my fear of realizing that this is something that is very precious to me, but it's gone. It's not the same thing."
Huertas finds that more and more people of different ethnicities come to play, as the playground begins to gain a reputation for its competitive games. The games, as well as the art exhibition, are open to the public. Anyone can come and enjoy it. To those who are interested in playing, Huertas says not to be afraid to ask.
Stop by the Reinaldo Salgado Playground to see the Domingo a las 4 installation while it's in place (the duration is still undecided) and to watch a game of fútbol.
Three photos from the series will be available for purchase on the ACOMPI website. Ten percent of the proceeds will go to Huertas, who plans to invite his team members to dinner. You can also comment on what you think of the Domingo a las 4 exhibition on ACOMPI's Instagram account or send them an email directly.
"We want the comments and things to be in dialogue," Valenzuela said.

Peggy Lee: Master of cool
"Sunday Morning" originally broadcast this story on February 6, 2022.
In 1970 Peggy Lee won a Grammy for "Is That All There Is," a song that many heard as an anthem of ennui …
Is that all there is? Is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
Is That All There Is? (Remastered) by
Peggy Lee – Topic on
… but not Lee, says her granddaughter, Holly Foster-Wells: "She saw it as absolutely life-affirming and hopeful, that bad things are gonna happen and that you can rise above them. Stand up and have a ball. Celebrate life, in spite of all of this that's happening."
And Lee had a lot to celebrate. At 50 she was already a legend, an artist of astonishing versatility – a master of cool (with "Black Coffee"), a heartbreaker ("Then Was Then (And Now Is Now)"), and a trailblazer ["I'm a Woman"].
Correspondent Mo Rocca asked Lee biographer Peter Richmond, "Musically, how many different Peggy Lees were there?"
"Oh God, dozens!" he laughed. "There's Latin. There's blues. There's jazz. There's pop. 'Oh, you want me to do "The Folks Who Live On The Hill" so you'll weep? I can do that.' 'You want me to do "Black Coffee' so you think it's like, Oh, I'm hanging out with junkies at a kitchen table? I can do that.'"
And all of those Peggy Lees can be traced back to the desolate plains of North Dakota, and the girl then named Norma Deloris Egstrom. There, in the tiny town of Wimbledon, in what's now the Peggy Lee museum, Norma spent her high school years.
Rocca said, "That wind, it's like a rumbling."
"It's powerful; it feels like it could blow this house down," said Foster-Wells.
Peggy Lee's granddaughter, Holly Foster-Wells, with correspondent Mo Rocca, in the house where Lee grew up, in Wimbledon, N.D.
Her mother had died when she was just four. Her father, the town's railroad depot manager, was an alcoholic. Foster-Wells said, "He really at times couldn't run the depot, so she would have to take over for him."
Worse still, her father remarried a woman who was physically abusive. Lee later wrote that her stepmother once beat her over the head with a cast-iron skillet.
"My grandmother, she said she would look out at the railroad tracks and just imagine where they led," said Foster-Wells. "It was a way out. That's what the railroad represented to her. And of course, her other way out was music."
Singer Peggy Lee c. 1945.
By 17 she was singing on the radio as Peggy Lee, and before long touring with Benny Goodman's band, often the only woman on the bus.
"She said that these men always looked out for her," Foster-Wells said. "People took her under their wing. She had that quality, where you wanted to protect her."
By now she'd cultivated a style that was as minimalist as the landscape she'd grown up in – cool, but never cold.
Foster-Wells said, "She had the philosophy of less is more. And she would bring you in. Like, you had to pay attention."
Richmond added, "And so, for the rest of her life, she knew that the more she could get the room silent, the more she's got them."
"She said the challenge is to leave out all but the essentials – keeping it right there, minimal," said Foster-Wells."
Peggy Lee and the Benny Goodman Orchestra perform "Why Don't You Do Right" in the 1943 musical, "Stage Door Canteen":
Why Don't You Do Right – Peggy Lee – Benny Goodman Orch 1943 by
maynardcat on
It was while touring with Goodman that she met guitarist Dave Barbour. They married in 1943.
"They had such chemistry together," said Foster-Wells. "That was the love of her life, my grandfather."
Peggy Lee performs "I Don't Know Enough About You":
"I Don't Know Enough About You" (Official Video) – Peggy Lee by
Peggy Lee on
But Barbour, like her father, had a drinking problem, one that only got worse as Lee got bigger, and the marriage ended in 1951.
"It broke her heart," Foster-Wells said. "But just as she always has done, it fueled her music."
Don't cry, there'll be another spring
I know our hearts will dance again
And sing again, so wait for me 'til then
The 1950s were Lee's most prolific and innovative period. A rarity among women at the time, she was a singer-songwriter with 270 songs to her name.
Rocca asked, "As a kid, was it really cool for you that your grandmother was part of 'Lady and the Tramp'?"
"That's how my friends knew of her!" Foster-Wells replied.
Lee co-wrote the score to the Disney classic, and was the voices of the Siamese cats; Darling, the mother; and Peg in the dog pound.
In 1958 Lee had her biggest hit with "Fever," with an arrangement all her own: just bass, drums, and finger snaps:
Fever by
Richmond said, "She's keeping so much in. If this (finger snaps) is the only thing to signal what you're singing about, that's powerful."
But to see Peggy Lee live was to be spellbound, as evidenced in this hypnotic performance of "See See Rider," at Basin Street East in New York:
Peggy Lee – See See Rider by
whippetontherun on
"She barely moves," said Foster-Wells. "Like, she just moves a little shoulder. And just her face. And it's so sexy."
It was inevitable that Lee would achieve icon status. "She kinda came up with that bob and the glasses," Foster-Wells said. "And it's funny, 'cause then I saw Gwen Stefani doing the same thing."
"Probably not a coincidence!" said Rocca.
She inspired the Muppets character Miss Piggy, originally named Miss Piggy Lee. "She thought that was fantastic. I mean, that pig is glamorous," Foster-Wells said.
"Miss Piggy is the paragon of glamor," said Rocca.
"Right. And she's a diva. And my grandma was a diva!"
And her life was glamorous. She recorded home movies of parties at her Bel Air estate.
But one song spoke to her greatest unfulfilled wish.
Someday we'll build a home
On a hilltop high, you and I,
Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill.
And we'll be pleased to be called
"The folks who live on the hill."
The Folks Who Live On The Hill (Remastered 2001) by
Foster-Wells said, "'The Folks Who Live On The Hill,' that's her very favorite song. And I think it just paints this picture of an idyllic relationship and growing old together, and always having that soulmate by your side."
After Dave Barbour, Lee married and divorced three more times, before she died in 2002.
Rocca asked, "And do you think she was ultimately happy?"
"That is a really complicated question," Foster-Wells replied. "I think she had incredible moments of happiness, but interspersed with incredible loss, heartbreak, disappointment, fear."
"And where do you think the fear came from?"
"She said, actually, it came from growing up without what really, what she felt was a home."
Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't
And when I didn't, I said to myself
Is that all there is to love?
"But," Foster-Wells said, "she wouldn't have been Peggy Lee without this heartache and this pain. And that is what resonates with people, is that truth. She would say to me, 'This music is gonna outlive me.'"
"She knew," said Rocca.
"She knew."
Peggy Lee performs "Is That All There Is" on "Kraft Music Hall" in 1969.

When Did Adam and Eve Fall?
How soon after their creation on day six did Adam and Eve sin? In the 2011 Fall issue of Creation magazine, in the article, Why Bible History Matters, Dr. Jonathan Sarfati makes three observations that provide a time frame.
Recognizing that Adam and Eve fell prior to conceiving their first child is the primary realization for chronicling the earliest days in human history. Our Bible study album, Genesis: The Fall, makes these and other biblical and biological observations (some of which are presented below) that may further narrow the timing of the fall of Adam and Lucifer. Scripturally, Dr. Sarfati is on solid ground concluding that Satan fell in that short time period. For as traditionally understood, the passage interpreted as Satan's fall in Ezekiel 28 says about Lucifer that, "You were in Eden, the garden of God." And in Isaiah 14, the parallel passage about the perfect and wise Lucifer, "you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven… I will ascend above the heights of the clouds…"

What a week! Not much used this week as not much sewing took place due to the preparation for the arrival of my parents and my little Princess and then of course, their actual arrival. And I don't expect to use much next week either or the next week either. Mom and dad won't go home until after next week and the Houston Stock Show is the following week.

Niece Shows Up For Funeral Of Veteran Who Died At UNT
By Yona Gavino May 16, 2018 at 4:14 pm
Filed Under:Air Force Veteran, DFW National Cemetery, funeral, Local TV, Margaret King, University Of North Texas, UNT
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – An Air Force veteran was laid to rest Wednesday at DFW National Cemetery, with one long-lost family member in attendance.
Veterans, police officers, former colleagues from the University of North Texas and friends gathered shoulder to shoulder to say farewell to Margaret King.
"We are her family now, after death. She's very much loved, and her service is very much honored," said Rick Crabb, a ride captain for the North Texas Patriot Guard Riders.
Crabb presented a flag and certificate to a UNT staff member seated next to King's niece, Cherrie Robinson.
"I never expected this many people. I'm just very grateful," said Robinson.
King died last September of natural causes. The university held off burying her, as they worked to track down her family.

Robinson said she flew in from Atlanta after she heard about her aunt's death through Facebook on Tuesday.
"It was a race to get here – to buy plane tickets to try to get here in time. It was also a shock to get over her death," said Robinson.

Robinson said her family knew King was studying somewhere. But it was hard to reconnect after they lost contact.
"She started out in the military, liked to travel. She had a full life on her own. That's just how she was," said Robinson.
Those who knew her said King was very well-educated and received numerous degrees.
Robinson said she always hoped she'd find her aunt.
"I never wanted to find her in death, but I'm glad at least I can see how much of an impact she made – and how many people cared," said Robinson.
Robinson said her mother, Margaret King's younger sister, will be flying in from California. The family plans to keep the flag and certificate that were presented during the funeral.

Q&A: Allstream's UC lead talks strategy, innovation
expertIP sits down with Robert Hamer, who leads Allstream's Unified Communications Strategic Product Group (SPG), to talk about trends in UC, how Allstream is innovating in this space and what customers can expect in the months to come.
By The Editors	/ September 5, 2017
Tags: UC
There are a lot of moving parts in a complex unified communications environment, from collaboration to presence and mobility. Allstream, which recently acquired Integra, is combining its technology and expertise to become a leader in UC across North America.
eIP: What are your responsibilities in leading the UC division for Allstream?
Hamer: UC is key to Allstream's growth. My biggest responsibility is to ensure that we have a strong product offering that will help us win in the marketplace. A strong product is the combination of the best underlying vendors, the best upfront discovery of customers' needs, the best onboarding process and the best ongoing support.
eIP: How will you combine the best of Integra and Allstream?
Hamer: Allstream has a great history in the UC space — it has built an awesome infrastructure and has a remarkable team with years and years of UC experience. Integra also has a lot of awesome, experienced UC people. We have combined all these great people and will be a real force in the UC space across North America.
eIP: What is the focus of the UC division in the year ahead?
Hamer: Quality — to be the best. Consumers can go online and find an app at a low price to make and receive phone calls. Our focus is to ensure we provide a much better experience for our business customers by delivering X, Y and Z that other solutions do not. Doing so will ensure customers recognize the value we deliver to their business. To be the best takes a commitment. We're challenging ourselves as a company to continue to invest in the people and systems needed to provide the best experience for our customers and to build the best UC offering in North America.
eIP: How will Allstream continue to work with partners such as Mitel and Cisco to bring new UC solutions to market?
Hamer: Mitel and Cisco both consider us important partners and critical to their success. They provide competitive pricing and sales support to help us win customers. Both partners are leaders in the UC space and their products are key to setting Allstream apart from the competition.
eIP: What are some of the biggest trends in this space, and how is Allstream innovating when it comes to UC?
Hamer: Team collaboration — employees are on the move, working all hours of the day from countless locations using various communication tools. They are looking for one communication platform to bring their teams together: collaboration. We don't just sell telephones anymore, we sell collaboration solutions.
eIP: Are we seeing increased demand for cloud UC, and how is Allstream responding?
Hamer: We have built a first-in-class Mitel Cloud offering in the U.S. and in Canada. In Canada, we have a Cisco Cloud offering. Our sales team is experiencing more and more interest in these offerings, which tells us there is an increased demand for cloud UC.
eIP: Why should customers turn to Allstream for their UC needs?
Hamer: Our expertise in the UC space spans more than 25 years. Our providers, Mitel and Cisco, are industry leaders as reported by Gartner, an independent expert in the UC space. And most importantly, we don't just ship telephones to a customer — we work with them to understand their specific needs, we go onsite to deliver our services and we train them to ensure they're getting the most out of their investment.

Microsoft's huge hosting survey reveals hybrid adoption figures
A survey of over 2000 respondents by Microsoft and 451 Research has shown that half of companies have deployed some form of hybrid cloud.
The report, which clocks in at a mammoth 75 pages (pdf here, if you've got an hour or two), revealed that 989 (49%) of the 2041 execs surveyed had configured a hybrid for interoperability. Of that number:
60% had used an on premise private cloud alongside a hosted private cloud
42.1% had combined an on premise private cloud with a public...

Why for most businesses the cloud is evolutionary, not revolutionary
IT decision makers are conservative by nature: "If it isn't broken, don't fix it."
I frequently hear the question, "What does the cloud do for me that I can't do in my own data centre?" The honest answer is nothing.
There is nothing that can be done in the cloud that couldn't also be done in an in-house data centre or with collocated hardware in an external data centre.
However, almost everything a business may want to do with...

The search for hybrid cloud: The journey continues
Hybrid cloud is an awesome concept for the world of enterprise IT and beyond. But a question remains as to whether hybrid clouds are truly being created in the current state of business IT infrastructure deployments.
One true definition?
Most businesses have their own data center and then they have cloud. Very few have really created a true hybrid yet that achieves the promised functionality.
So if businesses aren't currently completely achieving hybrid deployments, what is it? The truest definition of a hybrid cloud...

Is hosted private cloud the future of cloud infrastructure?
Every business is different, and their infrastructure is sure to follow suit. However, just as there are standards within best practices for cloud, so too are there consistencies where cloud platforms are concerned.
When we say cloud platforms, however, we don't mean open or closed clouds, like Rackspace versus AWS. Instead we are referring to public, private and hybrid clouds.

Hybrid clouds: From reluctant acceptance to strategic imperative
It's been well over a year that Forrester's James Staten (@staten7) has been gently orating from the rooftops that "you are already hybrid."

Rackspace Hosting has announced a new offering for its Managed Virtualisation Service hosting a VMware environment, entitled 'Dedicated VMware vCenter Server'.

I made a huge mistake the first time I walked away from you. I'm not about to make another one.
"Stubborn food critic Miranda Storme has reached her limit with infuriating restaurateur Gavin Luciano. Nicknaming her Red was just the tip of the iceberg—and not because her pulse races every time he uses it. She'd rather poke her eye out with a fork than let him know he affects her. Now he's trying to charm a good review out of her? Last. Straw.
Gavin can have any woman he wants, but he only wants Red. The problem? He's spent a good amount of time convincing her he's a horse's ass. Her words.

TSTC
It's 35 years and counting for a TSTC instructor, leader
TSTC Staff
Dan Bodnar
By Amanda Sotelo, TSTC Staff
A gallon of gas was $1.10, a movie ticket was $2.50 and Dan Bodnar was beginning his career at Texas State Technical College. The year was 1984.
As a witness to the college's transition from typewriters to computers, Bodnar was recently recognized for his 35 years of service during TSTC's Employee Appreciation Day event.
"I never planned on being here for this long," said the 61-year-old. "And it doesn't even feel like 35 years has passed. But it's been great to grow alongside TSTC. This is a proud moment."
Bodnar, who is the director of decision support for the Electrical and Instrumentation division, started his career at TSTC as a student and when it only had four buildings.
"The growth the college has seen, and is still seeing, is amazing. It means we must be doing something right," said Bodnar.
He graduated with an associate degree in Electronics Technology in 1984 from TSTC and immediately begin working as a lab assistant for the department.
Bodnar has come a long way since his days as a lab assistant. He has earned promotions a handful of times during his career at TSTC beginning with instructor and master instructor to program chair and statewide division director.
"This has been a fulfilling career," he said. "It's so rewarding seeing our students succeed and go out into the industry as leaders; and I've also had the opportunity to work with so many people who have become family."
As a dedicated employee of TSTC, Bodnar has also received numerous awards for his work.
He is a 2015 Chancellor's Excellence Award recipient and also a past TSTC Employee of the Year.
And under his leadership, the electronics department was the first in Texas to have a surface mount lab and Bodnar was its first instructor after successfully completing required training in Maryland.
A surface mount lab is used to solder tiny electronic components that can only be seen under a microscope.
"This was a huge achievement for our department. We even had state leaders visiting our lab," said Bodnar. "And this is what I enjoy most about TSTC, we're allowed to expand our knowledge and grow so that we can then implement what we've learned into the classroom."
In the classroom is where Bodnar said he feels he did his most rewarding work and although he was known as the "strict" instructor and many feared his classes, alumni such as Roy Longoria, TSTC Biomedical Equipment Technology instructor, said this is where we were shaped into professionals.
"Dan Bodnar's classes and training really took us students to the next level," said Longoria. "He was detailed and thorough and always ensured that we were prepared with all of the materials we needed to learn and if we were not, we wouldn't live it down."
Longoria, who now works closely with Bodnar, added that Bodnar's teachings stick with him even today. Before entering any meeting with Bodnar he has to be sure to have pencils, pens and paper to get work done.
"We're colleagues and I'm still afraid to arrive to a meeting with him unprepared, but that just goes to show that he creates professionals," he said. "And his teachings even helped me solve problems and troubleshooting issues out in industry. Issues that no one else could solve. He's been a great motivator and leader here at TSTC for employees and students alike."
So what's in store for Bodnar's future?
He said retirement.
"I've had a great career here at TSTC. I've never seen the need to go anywhere else," he said. "Everything I've needed I've been given here at TSTC. So I've got a few more years here and then it'll be time to relax and enjoy the family. It's been a wonderful run and I'm thankful to TSTC for it."
The love for TSTC in the Bodnar family runs deep. Bodnar's wife, Ester, also recently celebrated 30 years of service at the college, Bodnar's oldest daughter is a student in TSTC's Chemical Technology program, and his youngest who is currently a junior in high school is planning to enroll as an Architectural Design and Engineering Graphics student.

Across Political Divides: How Americans Talk About Politics and How We Can Do Better
Some Replies on Institutions, Journalists, and Higher Education
Arnold Kling • November 20, 2019 • Comments
It's the Stupid Institutions
Jonathan Rauch writes, "It's the institutions, stupid." He points to a need for civic institutions, and he sees social media platforms as institutions in need of reform. Let me add my thoughts:
1. Rauch writes, "an effective way to reduce intergroup hostility is to put the groups to work on a common mission"
Recently I gave a talk at a Rotary Club in Houston. The audience proved Rauch's point. Club members differ considerably in their politics, but joining together for a common charitable purpose helps them see the other side as human.
But how are we going to interest younger people in Rotary Clubs or some equivalent?
2. Rauch is more positive than I am toward the idea of Google or Facebook curating content. I think that is a hopeless cause. Consider Twitter's ambition to ban political advertising. Does that mean that opponents of Planned Parenthood are not allowed to advertise, because that involves political opinion? But then does that mean that Planned Parenthood itself is not allowed to advertise? I think that centralized curation of content is a morass for Internet platforms.
The problem with the Internet platforms is not that bad people put really bad content on them. The problem is what good people think of as putting good content on them. Otherwise well-credentialed, intelligent people are proud of their Twitter put-downs and Facebook proclamations. Seeing people talk politics on social media gives me the same feeling that I get from watching the anger that breaks out following a confrontation in an intersection between a bicyclist who won't slow down and motorist who fails to yield.
I would advise everyone who wants to use the Internet to say something about current events to put at least a 3-day delay on their posts. If you think in terms of a delay, that increases the chances that your reason will kick in before your emotions get carried away.
But I don't think that there is an easy solution to the problems that the Internet poses for discourse.
The Sociology of Journalism
Nikki Usher refers to Robert Merton's distinction between cosmopolitans and locals; I would add that a more recent book by David Goodhart, The Road to Somewhere, draws the same distinction, using the terms "anywheres" and "somewheres."
She points out the irony that the cosmopolitans are narrow-minded in their contempt for the locals. She says that cosmopolitans view the locals as barbaric. I would quibble and say that the cosmopolitans view the locals as backward. The epithets that they toss around most frequently (e.g., racist) are more along the oppressor-oppressed axis.
A monoculture may exist within individual media outlets, but I am not sure I would characterize journalism as a whole that way.There are conservative journalists. And there are journalists who seem to empathize with locals. And as an economist I would expect that regardless of the cosmopolitan bias in schools of journalism, the fact that locals constitute a significant market is likely to sustain media outlets that serve that market.
The problem is that the antipathy between cosmopolitans and locals, along with the fragmented media environment, means that we will not experience a common narrative. This is a difficult problem, and I cannot see a solution.
Emotional Correctness and Higher Education
Donald Downs refers to another troubled institution, higher education. He pinpoints the problem of "emotional correctness." I agree with Downs, and with Jon Haidt and Greg Lukianoff as well as with Anthony Kronman, that colleges and universities ought to recommit to the values of rigor and open inquiry.
Unfortunately, we are seeing on campus a form of reductionist progressivism that actually does take the oppressor-oppressed axis as the sole basis for framing issues. The campus justice activists are not only subject to the psychology that inclines us away from Persuasion Mode and toward Demonization Mode. Their very ideology justifies Demonization of dead (and living) white males while treating the values of free speech and open inquiry as tools of oppression.
Moreover, the situation on campus is tied in with the inability of colleges to make African-Americans and women feel secure and confident there. If attempting to uphold standards of rigor gets labeled as "racist" or "the patriarchy," then faculty and administrators will be reticent about advocating those standards.
Once again, I find it easier to describe the problem than to offer a promising solution.
Can We Improve Political Discourse? by Arnold Kling
Arnold Kling has devoted years to observing and participating in American political discourse. Such as it is. He writes that all too often, Americans seek to demonize those with whom they disagree, rather than trying first to understand what they are saying in their own terms. Social media does not help us to do better, he argues, but one thing that could is surprisingly simple: "If you think that the problem with political discourse is caused entirely by the other side," he writes, "then look in the mirror instead."
Improving Our Political Culture by Jonathan Rauch
Jonathan Rauch offers a "friendly amendment" to Arnold Kling's argument: We must amend our weakening civic institutions. He recommends direct social action, including but not limited to various organizations that seek to start conversation across political divides; strengthening institutions that don't line up neatly with partisan politics, but that serve good purposes anyway; and—perhaps controversially—re-engineering our social media environment.
When Cosmopolitanism Isn't All It Seems by Nikki Usher
Nikki Usher turns her attention to American journalism, which often sets the tone for our political conversations. She finds that with the decline of local journalism, journalists have an increasingly cohesive and uniform view—one that sees itself as cosmopolitan, but that is really parochial to Washington, DC. Journalists nowadays often stumble in covering other areas of the country, which increases the importance of Arnold Kling's populist/cosmopolitan divide.
Civil Discourse, Civility, and Due Doubt by Donald Downs
Donald Downs considers that free speech requires a concern for the personhood and well-being of others—and the concern to avoid offense can also be stifling. He characterizes this as a tension between chutzpah and "due doubt" of one's own beliefs, and he argues for the importance of civility understood in a special way: Civility is not mere politeness in politics, he argues; it is a key part of the role that we must all play as citizens, regardless of political disagreements.

One-Time AC/DC And Rose Tattoo Member Neil Smith Loses Battle With Cancer
by Paul Cashmere on April 7, 2013
in News,Noise Pro
Aussie bass player Neil Smith, a one-time member of AC/DC and Rose Tattoo, has lost his battle with cancer.
A statement at Neil's Facebook page has confirmed that he passed away early this morning, Sunday, April 7.
The message reads, "Neil Smith passed away in the early hours of the morning, Sunday the 7th of April 2013. He was sleeping peacefully and surrounded by family.
"Neil is now in peace and is no longer battling with cancer.
"There is not a person out there who has met him and not felt like their lives were better for the experience. He was a loving and devoted father, a loyal friend and all round generous person.
He was larger than life, and his passing will be felt.
"Thanks to all his friends for their support and love, especially during the final stages of his life".
Neil was a member of the AC/DC rhythm section in 1974. Rob Bailey then Mark Evans replaced him before Cliff Williams took over the role permanently. Williams has remained as the AC/DC bass player ever since.
Footage from Neil's last gig with Rose Tattoo at Parramatta Gaol in 1979 can be seen on YouTube.

Cloudflare Acquires Vectrix to Help Businesses Gain Visibility and Control of Their Applications
Press Releases Cloud, Cloudflare, Cybersecurity, Software, Technology
Acquisition adds modern cloud access security broker (CASB) functionality to Cloudflare's industry-leading Zero Trust platform
SAN FRANCISCO – FEB 10, 2022 –(BUSINESS WIRE)– Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the security, performance, and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, today announced that it has acquired Vectrix, a company that provides businesses one-click visibility and control across all of their SaaS applications. Vectrix enhances Cloudflare's existing Zero Trust platform, Cloudflare One, by allowing security teams to scan third-party tools–including Google Workspace, GitHub, and AWS–to detect and mitigate issues such as inappropriate file sharing and user permission misconfigurations.
"Tens of thousands of organizations rely on Cloudflare One's Zero Trust platform to keep their teams and data secure," said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare. "Cloudflare's global network blocks attempts to compromise data at multiple levels while accelerating traffic to the Internet. We're excited to welcome the Vectrix team to Cloudflare to help deliver the fastest, most secure, and robust Zero Trust platform for the enterprise."
Many businesses are using more SaaS applications than ever before, driven by the need to operate more efficiently and collaboratively in distributed or hybrid work environments. According to Gartner®, Public Cloud Services End-User worldwide spending on Cloud Application Services (SaaS) is expected to grow from $174B in 2022 to more than $279B in 2025. This has increased the burden on security teams, who now have to monitor security across numerous applications that all have unique configuration settings, user access controls, and monitoring systems. What's more, this increased SaaS footprint increases the risk of security incidents from misconfigured settings, incorrect user access controls, or disgruntled employees.
With Vectrix, IT and security teams can perform security scans across their third-party tools to better detect and mitigate issues ranging from unauthorized user access and file exposure to misconfigurations and shadow IT. Integrating Vectrix's API-driven cloud access security broker (CASB) with Cloudflare One provides enterprises with comprehensive Zero Trust control of both data-at-rest and data-in-transit. Vectrix extends the security of Cloudflare's network to the data stored in SaaS applications, giving customers a single control plane for the security of their workforce and mission-critical resources.
"Everyone uses SaaS applications, from sending emails to managing HR, but simply ticking the wrong box can leave a business's critical data exposed," said Corey Mahan, co-founder and CEO of Vectrix. "By combining Vectrix's API first approach with the scale of Cloudflare's Zero Trust platform we're able to give customers an easy and simple way to control how data from those applications are shared."

THE GRANDE DAME OF GEORGE TOWN, PENANG
The Eastern & Oriental Hotel – known simply as the 'E&O' to generations of travellers – exudes a charm that is inimitably its own. For most of its history, its passageways and halls were the preserve of the rich and privileged from the Western world – intrepid travellers that included acclaimed writers and aspiring literati who arrived in steamships seeking to experience the exotic East. Even with the passage of time, this unique pearl at the heart of George Town continues to shine as a testament to the grand elegance of the British colonial era, the embodiment of both a special time and a special place. Indeed, at the E&O, life's true pleasures never go out of fashion. For almost 135 years, the hotel has welcomed the world in timeless style. This legacy is conserved and further elevated with the re-opening of the Heritage Wing that is now setting the new standard as a leading destination in classic hospitality.
Heritage Wing
Re-emerging from a comprehensive restoration and refurbishment programme in December 2019, the Heritage Wing resumes its role as a gracious host with new facilities and a variety of exclusive privileges – making it an even more delightful experience for guests staying here. The E&O welcomes you to discover the Heritage Wing once again.
Victory Annexe
The Victory Annexe is an extended wing that opened in 2013, built on the site of the hotel's original Victory Annexe that was first unveiled by Arshak Sarkies in 1923. The Victory Annexe is designed with the needs and comforts of the modern traveller in mind, whilst retaining the old-world ambience and charm that are synonymous with the E&O.
Farquhar's Bar
Java Tree

With the re-opening of the Heritage Wing, the E&O's revered repertoire of classic hospitality and culinary experiences has been enhanced. The Java Tree serves Straits Nyonya recipes and classic European dishes, while the Palm Court offers a selection of ethnic Asian inspired dishes and casual international fare as well as the classic three-tier afternoon tea. The new Farquhar's Bar, now a handsome vintage cocktail bar with a view of Penang's waterfront outside its expansive windows, is perfect for pre- and after-dinner drinks. At the Victory Annexe, Sarkies remains a perennial favourite for its splendid buffet-spread of Malaysian and international delights. The Planters Lounge is an elegant venue for continental dishes while al fresco dining is a sumptuous affair at Poolside Terrace.
