Buying your very own Ocean Edge condo is an exciting experience. All of the time and effort you put into preparing yourself to buy a property of your own has finally paid off. So celebrate your accomplishment, but before you relax and settle into your new space, there are some things that you need to do first. Here is our list of the 6 to-do's when you move into your Ocean Edge condo.
Your first stop before you arrive at your new home should be the hardware store to pick up new locks for your doors. Before you spend the night and move into your Ocean Edge condo, you should change the locks. The former owner of your home brought their keys for you, but there could be more copies of your key out there. If the property was used as a seasonal rental, who knows how many people have a copy of the key to your new home in their possession. Instead of taking the risk, give yourself piece of mind and change the locks on the doors. Changing the locks is easy enough that almost anyone could do it themselves. Check the package of the locks you are purchasing to make sure that you have the tools necessary to do the job so you do not have to make multiple trips to the hardware store (without a lock on your door!).
When you first laid eyes on your home during the open house or private showing, you may have visualized painting the rooms in the home different colors to make it feel more your own. Before you move into your Ocean Edge condo, do yourself a favor and tackle the painting projects ahead of time. So often home owners have a vision of what they want their home to look like, have every intention of doing it in a reasonable amount of time, but then life gets in the way. If you have the ability to make your home exactly the way you want it before moving in, do it! Give the walls a makeover and make yourself at home. If you are planning to replace the flooring, remember to do the painting before you replace the floors. This is key because if you splatter paint on the old floors, it is not a problem. If you wait until after replacing the floors, you will have to be extra careful to not spill and ruin the new floor.
Replace the flooring before you move into your Ocean Edge condo to save yourself the trouble of moving your furniture in and then out down the road. Completing big projects, such as replacing the flooring while the house is empty saves yourself the headache of trying to figure out how to make it happen once you have already moved in. Even if the floors do not need a total overhaul or replacement, it is a good idea to have any floor work done before moving in. Whether you plan on resealing your floors, buffing them or even just steam cleaning your carpets, it is easier to do so before you are settled in your new home.
If you have children or a small furry dog child, make sure that your new home is safe for them before you move into your Ocean Edge condo. Childproofing your home before you and your little ones move in is so important because you are all learning your new property. There could be an electrical outlet you were not aware of, or sharp corner that could hurt your little ones. If your little one is of the four legged furry variety, make sure that any carpeting you have in the home is not coming up in a corner. A carpet coming undone in the corner could be appealing to them, and could cause some digestive problems, and destruction to your new home. Before you settle your family into your Ocean Edge condo, do a run through with a sharp eye to make sure that it is ready for your family.
Before you move into your Ocean Edge condo, make sure it is ready for you! Buying a home of your own is a huge accomplishment and a milestone that many Americans strive for. Make sure that your home is ready for your lifestyle so that you can begin your life in your new place on the right foot. Moving in to your new home is an exciting time, so take it in and celebrate your accomplishment, then get to work!

Q: Connecting to remote PostgreSQL database with SQLAlchemy using SSH tunneling with public key and passphrase, all that from a Windows machine So, I am using Windows to connect to remote Postgres database with a tool like Navicat. I am trying to achieve the same thing using Python (2.7) and SQLAlchemy (0.9) but with no success.
So, my Navicat setup looks like this:

I tried to set up tunnels in PuTTY, connect to server, leave connection opened and experimenting with IPs and ports but with no success at all. I'm not sure if all that's enough since I have this public key and passphrase, so I wonder is it possible to connect to this database from Windows machine using Python and SQLAlchemy (and this beautiful PuTTY app also, of course) in any way?
Thanks!

A: You can pass the server and port to your create_engine() statement, ala:
create_engine('postgres://username:password@server:port/database')

http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/dialects/postgresql.html
So assuming you've FIRST established an SSH tunnel to the remote host, and port forwarded local port 1111 to the remote server's port 5432 (which is the default postgres port), your connect string would be something like:
create_engine('postgres://username:password@localhost:1111/database')

Cooper Rowan Clinic began in 2012 with the collaboration between Cooper Medical School of Rowan University and the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy at the University of the Sciences. The mission since the introduction of the clinic has been to provide high-quality, patient-centered health services at no expense to the underserved, uninsured community members of Camden, New Jersey. Interdisciplinary teams of pharmacy and medical students work under supervision to employ their clinical skills and serve as primary care providers. As the students and patients navigate through both the clinic and the overall healthcare system, there are many transitions of care that must be handled carefully to avoid unfavorable outcomes.
The American College of Clinical Pharmacy White Papers on improving transitions of care2 describe that the predominant role of the pharmacist in the ambulatory care setting is to ensure that the medication list of the patient is all encompassing of their prescription and non-prescription regimens and is up-to-date. They are accountable for the patient's comprehension of the use, effect, and administration of his or her medicines. The ambulatory clinic serves as the connection between services on the in-patient and community sides of health care.
At the Cooper Rowan Clinic, the first encounter the patient has is with a pharmacy student. In accordance with the ACCP White Paper recommendations2 the pharmacy student collects a medication history for every patient appointment. After matching all indications with medications, the student gathers information on as needed and over-the-counter medications, as well as herbal therapies. Following the encounter, the pharmacy student reconciles the medications with the EMR profile if the individual has used the Cooper University Hospital health system before. The medical and pharmacy students consult each other to discuss the goals for the patient that day and possible discrepancies found in the reconciliation process. With the pharmacy completing these patient medication history interviews, students have successfully intervened on numerous drug therapy problems.
Due to the low-income and uninsured status of the patients in the clinic, providing access to medications is a critical step in the clinic process. There is a limited formulary that consists of mostly one medication per therapeutic class, and does not include any proprietary or controlled drugs. Due to the small formulary, the pharmacy has an access committee that is responsible for finding medications from outside resources that incur little to no cost on the patients. Drug coupons, pharmaceutical company programs, and low-cost medication lists are all tools that are utilized. The pharmacy finds not only where the medication is supplied, but also creates a plan to obtain the appropriate pharmacologic treatment for the patient. Just as Project RED found that navigating health care with the patient avoids re-admission1, the students of the clinic have discovered improvements in patients' quality of life when they collaboratively lead an individual through the systems for medication access.
After coordinating with the medical students about medications to be filled and follow-up plans, the pharmacy students conduct a counseling session. Every patient is counseled on new medications and refreshed on older medications if adherence is a barrier. When a new medication is filled, the pharmacy student counsels by explaining three aspects of pharmacologic therapies: what the drug is for, how to take the drug, and what side effects and benefits can be expected. For the clinic students, this is the best method that describes key aspects of the medications in order to help patients practice self-care at home.
Over the years since the establishment of the Cooper Rowan Clinic, there have been several obstacles that the students have worked to surpass. The major complicating factor is language barriers. The community of Camden is largely Spanish speaking, however, most of the students are not. This barrier is the very first component of the Project RED Toolkit1 because if the patient cannot understand the care, they will receive no further benefit from interventions. Students have tried to resolve this problem via employing the use of over-the-phone translators, and recently adding volunteer translators to the clinic staff. Pharmacy itself has found many tools to help Spanish-speaking patients, such as Spanish medication guides and prescription labels.
Students have also tried to mitigate another limitation of the clinic: limited space for patient appointments. As a free service, the Cooper Rowan Clinic is a highly used resource in Camden's health system. In order to avoid turning patients away, a schedule has been created to accept ten planned appointments and five potential walk-in appointments during the three hours the clinic is open. This pre-specified quantity of patients accounts for cancelled appoints and no-shows. It also allows for a generous period of time for patients to be seen, over an hour if necessary, so that no appointment is rushed and all of their transitions occur smoothly.
In the four years since its establishment, the Cooper Rowan Clinic has come a long way to expand its services to positively affect more community members of Camden. With increasing access to medications and more translators the students are now working on introducing social workers and other professions into the workflow for better patient services.
I would like to thank Dr. Behjath Jafry, Clinic Director, as well as all of the attending physicians and pharmacy preceptors who dedicate their evenings at the Cooper Rowan Clinic.

The combined wealth of the richest 1,000 people in the UK has increased by 183 per cent over the past 10 years.
As austerity continues to bite low-income households shocking figures show the wealthiest in society now rake in almost three times what they did in 2009.
Ten years ago the wealthiest 1,000 people in Britain had a combined wealth of £256 billion, but the same cohort now sit on some £724 billion.
The figures show that the pace of change has been ramped up notably over the past five years, which has seen wealth grow by £274 billion, and £66 billion in the past year alone.
Dr. Wanda Wyporska, Executive Director of The Equality Trust, said: "Our annual Wealth Tracker research in recent years reveals that a vast amount of the nation's wealth has been captured by a tiny number of people. This is economically illiterate, socially poisonous and politically dangerous and draws a harrowing picture of UK inequality. It should be a source of national shame.
"At the same time, many will be wondering why they have not seen their wages increase over the last five years, or why despite working hard and working long hours, they are struggling to put food on the table.
"The UK's appalling wealth inequality is a gross injustice and a dire threat to our economy and social cohesion. If wealth continues to gush upwards, then opportunity and hope for future generations will steadily be strangled. This is a recipe for resentment, social division and, potentially, disaster.
It would be interesting to see comparative figures from other EU nations on how the idiocy of neo liberal thinking has impacted .


True porridge should be cooked in a pan and stirred with a wooden spurtle (stick). I like my porridge with dried fruit (dried cherries here), lashings of cream and a drop of whisky. Enjoy!
- Place the oats in a heavy saucepan and add the milk or water.
- Bring to a slow boil, stirring all the time until the porridge begins to thicken.
After approx 7 mins (sooner if the porridge is thick enough and heated all the way through) remove from the heat and leave to stand for 1 min.
- Serve in warmed bowls with either maple syrup, brown sugar, golden syrup or a teaspoon of jam as preferred.


Still for the F2000 the 1.6x removes the visual recoil well enough.
Is that still bugged? This would also mean though, that you would be wielding an AR with a zoomed optic and the lowest spread while moving, right? Which is an advantage again.
Irons really are the superior choice. They give you 20% more zoom than the 1x options and are more versatile than a 3.4x or 4x Scope. Throw in the virtual anti-Visual Recoil aspect and it's a no-brainer.
I completely agree. I run Irons/nothing/Heavy Barrel/Ergo on nearly everything and in my opinion that's the absolute ideal setup. I'll continue to use irons even if they fix/remove/improve/etc visual recoil.
Yeah they work great on the M-Tar. Really clear view.
Yea but I prefer the wobble on the A-91 because its so inaccurate.


You probably already have seen it on the news, or on your Facebook/Twitter feed but here are some important facts you need to know about this MASSIVE SPILL!
Between February 6 and February 23, over 143 million gallons of raw sewage was sent into the Tijuana River, in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. This sewage reached the Pacific Ocean heavily polluting beaches from Rosarito, Baja California to Coronado, California and potentially further, impacting over 25 miles of coastline.
The spill had nothing to do with the recent rainfall although the problem was made worse by the substantial flow in the river and south winds associated with the storm.
Mexican authorities did not report the spill to the International Boundaries and Water Commission (IBWC) until February 23.
Check for "Beach Closure" signs before you go into the water.
A federal investigation into the spill.
New plan for an upgraded sewage system in Tijuana as funding priority.
Fixing water quality problems and not any further progress on ocean desalination in the region until this is achieved.
Rapid communication between the IBWC and agencies in Mexico when any spills occur.
Join WILDCOAST and Surfrider San Diego Chapter, TODAY at the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) meeting and demand action against Tijuana's sewage spill.
Location: Tijuana Estuary Visitor Center, 301 Caspian Way, Imperial Beach, CA 91932.
Community members will be encouraged to write letters to their state representatives, Senator Kamala Harris, Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congressman Juan Vargas.
See you tonight to TAKE ACTION FOR CLEAN BEACHES!

It's time again for Secret Recipe Club reveal! My secret blog assignment this month was Hun... What's for Dinner? a blog full of recipes inspired by the best recipes from magazines, cookbooks and the web. Cindy is a stay-at-home mom of two adorable kids. She married a professional chef thinking he'd be the one doing the cooking in their relationship. When that didn't pan out, Cindy became an excellent cook in her own right and has even won some cooking and baking contests and been published in several cookbooks. No wonder I had such a hard time choosing a recipe from her blog!
There were more, but I just had to stop myself from looking. I'm sure you know how that is. I finally decided on this Cranberry Gingerbread Loaf because I just can't resist anything with cranberries.
Cindy made this for something called the Crazy Ingredient Challenge, which sounds like a lot of fun. She's also got something called Simple Supper Tuesday going on every week which is a round-up of, you guessed it, simple recipes. I will definitely have to be checking that out again!
Preheat oven to 350°. Generously grease a loaf pan, or line with parchment paper (making sure there is plenty hanging over the edges).
In a bowl, mix together the oil, molasses, brown sugar and boiling water. Let mixture cool to room temperature and then mix in the egg.
Combine 2-1/4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Mix into wet ingredients until just combined. Toss the cranberries with the remaining 1/4 cup of flour and gently fold them into the batter.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes; until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
Cindy's recipe called for 2 T of powdered sugar dusted on the top, but I used a little less than 1 T. After that it was just going everywhere and making a mess. It really does look pretty, but I think next time I'm going to sprinkle a little turbinado sugar on top of the loaf before baking and see how that turns out.
I really loved this loaf. Is it breakfast? Bread? Dessert? A snack? I'd say all of the above! Seriously, really good - great flavor, nice texture, and the tart bites of cranberry really make it special. Nothing crazy about cranberries and gingerbread together. The flavors are perfect! I will definitely be making this again. My husband wasn't a huge fan of the gingerbread spices, but that just means more for me. Every time.

Neotectonics and Landscape Dynamics
Research Profile:
Lindsay Schoenbohm and her research team address questions in the rapidly growing, interdisciplinary field of climate-tectonic interactions such as:
(1) is it possible that surficial processes such as glacial and fluvial erosion, can collectively, or even individually, dictate the rate and spatial pattern of rock deformation?
(2) how do continental plateaus grow? What is the role of climate in initiating, enlarging and sustaining plateaus?; and
(3) how does the landscape reflect tectonic deformation? Conversely, how do we read the landscape to quantify the rates and patterns of deformation?
The primary tool her group uses for this work is structural and geomorphic field-based mapping. Her team also dates geomorphic surfaces and determines spatially averaged erosion rates using cosmogenic nuclides, and works with digital elevation data and satellite imagery for landscape analysis. Research is focused primarily in Argentina, Turkey and Argentina around the margins of the three largest continental plateaus because of the extreme gradients in both climate and tectonic processes which operate there.

Dark side of the mind

          . . .

Everything I touch

Turns to dust

Whatever I stare at

Will turn to rust

My hatred for darkness

Has turned to lust

The white daffodil

Shields its face

The yellow peony

Withers in place

My mind delights in

Their thirst for grace

Everything I touch

Turns to dust

Whatever I stare at

Will turn to rust

My hatred for darkness

Has turned to lust

A spider squirms

Under my weight

The big black moth

Is nought but bait

My darkness has sealed

Their tragic fate

Everything I touch

Turns to dust

Whatever I stare at

Will turn to rust

My hatred for darkness

Has turned to lust

How many adults enjoy the sensation of serenity and calmness brought about by a relaxing massage? At Holy Family School pupils in Years 3 and 4 are embarking on an exciting new project, designed to spread that feeling of tranquillity throughout the classroom. Following the half term break children will be learning to give and receive peer massage with their classmates.
Peer massage is recommended for children between the ages of 4 and 12. The clothed massage is often accompanied by a story. As the story is told the children follow the actions by massaging the head, back and arms of their partners. Children learn to ask permission from each other before they start and say 'thank you' to their partner at the end. In this peaceful way children are learning to co-operate and show respect to others.


OK, last post for the Shadowmanor.com order.
This blank journal is approximately 8.75in. x 11.25in. with 120 blank unlined pages. It was covered with a dark red vinyl with an embossed alligator skin texture.
The corner bosses on the front and back are hand cast of polyurethane resin, finished with gold acrylic paint and Rub-N-Buff. I molded the originals out of sculpey clay some time ago, but until now they have never been used in a project. The centerpiece is an inverted double armed cross in a very ornate gothic style. It was hand cast from polyurethane resin and finished with gold acrylic paint and Rub-N-Buff to match the bosses.
The book is held closed by a solid brass hinge and hasp that were custom fitted to a thick leather substrate. They are glued and pinned to the cover boards with brass escutcheon pins. The hasp is held closed by a small brass padlock.
The book is finished with a black satin ribbon bookmark and a framed dedication space on the inside front cover (not pictured). Click Through for larger images.
Covered with the same dark red alligator skin patterned vinyl cloth, this blank journal is also approximately 8.75in. x 11.25in. with 120 blank unlined pages.
The corner bosses on the front and back are styled after writhing tentacles reaching around from the edges. They are hand cast from polyurethane resin, finished with silver acrylic paint and Rub-N-Buff. The centerpiece is an inverted pentacle with a goat's head baphomet image in the center. It was hand cast from polyurethane resin and it has a cold cast nickle-silver finish that was antiqued with acrylic paint .
This book is also held closed by a heavy solid metal chain and hasp. Unlike my previous metal chain closures, which were made from a salvaged brass door chain, this one was made from a heavy dog collar. The base plate, affixed to the back, had to be fabricated from scratch and was very time consuming to make. The metal hardware is in an antiqued silver finish. The chain is locked to the hasp by a solid brass padlock.
The book is finished with a black satin ribbon bookmark and a framed dedication space on the inside front cover (not pictured).
Finally we come to the pens. Each of these pens was made from a hardwood dowel shaft that was sanded, primed and finished with three coats of black lacquer. Each has a skull at the top of the shaft, that was hand cast in polyeurathane resin. I used acrylic paint and Rub-N-Buff to create their finish. Some were finished in silver tone, and some in gold tone. At the customer's request, I made more silver ones than gold ones.
Each has an antique metal nib that is permanently affixed. The grip is hand wrapped silver or gold tone 18 gauge wire to match the skull. The ends of the wire are bent off at 90 degrees and tucked into a tiny hole drilled into the shaft and finished off with a drop of super glue. It makes for a neat finished look and prevents unraveling, but it is a pain to do. It is also rough on the hands, keeping the wire tight as it is wrapped so that the coil is tight against the shaft. When you do seven or eight of these in a row, you sure know it!
Three of the six pens have a six inch shaft and are topped with a single short colored wing feather. I made one each of white, red and black. The shaft of the feather is cut and glued into a hole drilled into the top of the resin skull.
The other three pens have a four inch shaft and are topped with a large colored ostrich plume, about 10-12 inches long. I also made one each of these in white, red and black. These feathers are attached the same way.
To finish off the collection, I included as a free gift six bottles of "Vampire's Kiss" gothic writing ink. It is my own blend of dragon's blood ink and pokeberry ink. I am still refining the formula, and when I am finished with it I will be selling it in my shop.
Well, my daily hits numbers are dropping, so I guess people are getting bored with the Shadowmanor order already. Either that, or the nice weather has pried people away from their computers. What are the odds? In any case, I'm gonna' double up on this post and start wrapping things up on this project to get us closer to some other material.
This blank journal is approximately 8.75in. x 11.25in. with 120 blank unlined pages. It was covered with a dark green mottled vinyl with an embossed alligator skin texture.
The corner bosses on the front and back are hand cast of polyurethane resin, finished with gold acrylic paint and Rub-N-Buff. They mimic medieval iron work bindings. The centerpiece is an inverted pentagram with a baphomet style goat's. It was hand cast from polyurethane resin and finished with gold acrylic paint and Rub-N-Buff to match the bosses.
The book is held closed by a pair of metal "D" rings that are affixed to the front and back covers by metal rivets. The metal hardware is in an antiqued brass finish. The D-rings are locked together by a solid brass padlock.

Q: TortoiseSVN remaps source folders I recently had to change my development to another PC. I installed TortoiseSVN because I still had source code lying around that had still to be checked in SVN. But apparently the new installation of Tortoise does not recognize my source folders, although the '.SVN' folders are still there I see no overlay icons appearing on the files.
Is there a way to remap my local folders to the folders in the repository ?

A: TortoiseSVN has a setting to use "_svn" folders instead of ".svn" folders (due to an issue with older versions of Visual Studio), check if that's causing your trouble.
Since it's an old work-folder you've recovered from an old system, I would consider removing all ".svn" folders, checkout the code again (optionally from a revision number you remember the working folder was at), and move the old files (without ".svn" folders) over it.

A: Make sure that the TortoiseSVN installation on the new machine is the same or newer than the one installed on the previous machine. New versions of tsvn sometimes use newer repository formats that older version don't understand.
Does the new machine have a 64-bit operating system? If so, be sure to install the 64-bit version of tsvn. The 32-bit version can still be installed on 64-bit windows but the functionality doesn't show up in the default 64-bit Explorer.
Even though the overlays aren't working, make sure you right click on the folder and see if the tsvn operations come up in the menu. There may be some reason that the overlays aren't working that's unrelated to the working copies.


Industry 4.0 has become an integral part of business for key technology giants: Bosch Rexroth, Festo, PTC and Siemens, to name a few, are all turning yesterday's promise of connected and intelligent manufacturing technologies into today's reality. In fact, we are already witnessing manufacturing facilities capable of producing individually configured products at unit prices akin to those of series production. This expansion is also reflected in the increasing standardisation of Industry 4.0 processes, with bodies such as the Standardization Council Industrie 4.0 (SCI 4.0) forming in the DACH region and internationally.
Deal values, meanwhile, were up 54% from the previous half year period to $2.39 billion, and up 79% year-over-year excluding Intel's $15.3 billion acquisition of Mobileye last year.

Music V: Back to the Future
In 1969 Max Mathews published The Technology of Computer Music in which he provides a primer to digital sound and synthesis, describes the function of a computer music program, and provides a manual to the language he was describing, namely MUSIC V. It was to be the last MUSIC-N language he would write, and was the culmination of audio programming innovation that Mathews began in 1957 when he created the series of programs that formed MUSIC.
1957 could be seen as a sort of "Big Bang" moment in computer music. The MUSIC series of programs would see constant improvements and added functionality over the following decade that would influence computer music programs to the present time. As an educational and historical document The Technology of Computer Music is invaluable as it gives a first-hand account of what was required to create computer music in the first decade of its existence. Thus, The Technology of Computer Music shines a light on the vast distance since traveled by computer technology in general, and specifically computer music technology. To overstate Max Mathews' contribution to computer music would be difficult. Undoubtedly, programmers and musicians in the 20th century would have created computer music programs something like those we have now, but without Max Mathews the landscape would look vastly different and the timeline would almost certainly be longer. (The complete The Technology of Computer Music is linked to at the end of this post. )
While interaction with MUSIC V and the computers on which it ran was crude and time consuming by today's standards, the MUSIC N series had great influence on the computer music programs written in the decades following, including programs like MUSIC360, Csound and CMix would borrow elements of linguistic syntax and functional design. The basic function of the earlier MUSIC programs was described by Mathews in 1963 in the journal Science. Some of the material from that article was revised and included in the first chapter of The Technology of Computer Music. Here, Mathews describes the basic workflow of creating music with an IBM 7090 computer in the Bell Laboratories.
In the first part the composer specifies, in computer language, the characteristics of a set of musical instruments. The program unit that represents the instrument (or the "instrument unit") may be as simple or as complex as he desires. He then prepares a score consisting of a list of notes to be played on the instrument-units he has created. The samples of sound wave are generated by putting the score, in a form the machine can read, into the computer, together with the instrument units, and turning on the computer. The numerical output is recorded on a digital magnetic tape for subsequent conversion to acoustic form.1
Mathews then goes on to describe what would arguably be the most enduring component of his language, the unit generator.
The interconnected blocks of program which make up the instrument unit are called unit generators. There are a number of different types of unit generators, each of which has a specific function.2
By stringing together a few unit generators one could achieve complex and interesting sounds with a relatively small amount of code. The instruments that Mathews wrote for the program along with additional instruments written later by Jean-Claud Risset (the "Risset Catalog") provided a wealth of sonic options for composers who wanted to compose music with the computer but were not able to program at advanced levels. The result for composers was that they were able to create scores with less effort and less code that were easier to read.
The IBM 7094 Mainframe
MUSIC V was different from the programs Mathews wrote before it. Computers of the 1950s and 1960s occupied entire rooms at places like Bell Labs and computer time, because of the huge cost of computers, was extremely valuable and limited. Prior to MUSIC V, the MUSIC programs were written in different assembly languages and were tied to the systems on which they were developed. The new MUSIC V was almost exclusively written in Fortran which meant that it was easily ported to other systems. One result was that MUSIC V was exported to numerous computer music centers around the world in the early 1970s.3 Another was that working with music was easier for anyone familiar with programming as Fortran was a common programming language by the late 1960s.
Soon after writing MUSIC V, Mathews began work on a real-time music system he would call GROOVE. This would mark the end of Mathew's work on the MUSIC series. As mentioned above, however, the spirit was carried on in a number of programs and is is alive today, albeit in a highly modified and easier-to-use form. Fortunately for us, one can still experience something of the wonder and frustration of working with those early programs.
MUSIC V : Back to the Future
Let's quickly place MUSIC V in a perspective timeline. It was developed 15 years before MIDI, 27 years before the mp3, 33 years before the iPod, and 45 years before the posting of this article. In short, it's a fair guess to say that the reader does not use any piece of audio equipment or technology that is older than this program with the possible exception of LP records. Fret not, however, MUSIC V is still alive… (sort of…)
In 2010 The Audio Programming Book4 was published by MIT Press and was released with a DVD of additional materials. On this DVD is an updated version of MUSIC V capable of running on modern operating systems. Here are a couple renderings from the included scores score3 and score513.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2413147/score3.mp3 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2413147/score513.mp3
I put together a folder with both MUSIC V and a copy of sox you can use to listen to / convert the raw audio produced by MUSIC V. You can get it here.
Once you have the folder you will need to grab gfortran from here.
If you are using Mac OS, choose the appropriate Binary from this page.
If you have a Linux distro, grab the appropriate gfortran compiler for your distro using your package management system. You can also download it from the above gfortran site.
Building MusicV
'cd' into the MusicV folder (with the Makefile) and execute:
This will create pass1, pass2 and pass3 in the same directory.
To run an included example score through music V execute the following in a Terminal:
$ ./music5.sh score513
or Make a score
The included docs folder has chapters 2 and 3 from The Technology of Computer Music where instruments are defined and instructions for use provided.

16 NOT 6.00 1 1.95 2000 12.65 ;
17 TER 8.00 ;
Running the music5.sh script on whatever score file you choose will write a file called snd.raw to the same directory you run the script from.
Play it
Once you have your snd.raw audio file you can hear it one of two ways:
1. Play the sound file using 'play' (included with sox) by navigating to the sox folder and running the following:
$ play -r 44.1k -e signed -b 32 -c 1 ../MusicV/MusicV/snd.raw
To convert the raw file to a wave file:
sox -r 44.1k -e signed -b 32 -c 1 ../MusicV/MusicV/snd.raw outputname.wav
2. Import the raw audio into Audacity
open Audacity and choose File->Import->Raw Data…
Navigate to the folder with your audio file and select the file
Make your settings as below (at least on Apple OS)
You should then be able to both see and hear the glory that is Music V. You can export your efforts to another format using File->Export and choosing your desired format.
Something of a Conclusion (from practical experience)
While not nearly as laborious as working with MUSIC must have been in the 1960s, creating music with this program is hard. It's hard to work with, you actually have to know and remember things (both technical and artistic), some things don't work, and the program does almost nothing for you short of provide the pieces and the glue. However, I find the process of editing the score file, running it through MUSIC, getting errors, trying again, getting crappy results and so on delightfully refreshing. The enjoyment is in the trying, and in trying to make music with MUSIC V you will almost certainly gain in appreciation for those early pioneers who toiled endlessly to create new paradigms and the resulting programs and methods of interaction we enjoy today, to say nothing of the fantastic music that simultaneously resulted. So my exhortation to you: get compiling!

The love of God is the foundation of the entire spiritual life. Not our love for God. That's very important since that's the greatest commandment. But underneath our love for God is God's love for us. More foundational than our love for God is God's love for us. Our love for God is simply a response to God's prior and initiating love for us.
We will not go higher, or deeper, or further, than our experience of God's love for us.
Moreover, when it comes to God's love, the greatest example of that love and the proof of that love is found in the cross of Christ. That God would send his own Son to the planet to become a man and then die on a cross, bearing our sin, is the greatest proof that God cares about us. God cares about us more than we could possibly fathom.
"He welcomes you because his Son died for you. His breast has always yearned for you and his arms yearned to enfold you. Christ's death has now made it possible for the Father to do what he wanted to do all along. So come boldly – sprinkled by blood. Let him enfold you to the warmth of his bosom while his hot tears wash over your body.
1 John White, The Fight, 88.
There are plenty of candidates in the Bible for "Most Disobeyed Verse." Just in the Book of James, I think of James 1:2: "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds." Or there's James 1:19: "Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger." And plenty of others!
But at the top of the list I would put James 5:14: "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord." Many churches don't do this. Most Christians don't obey this.
Who knows what God might do when we obey him no matter what!
Our only boast is in the cross of Christ. Not in our goodness, not in our devotion, not in our efforts, not in our determination, not in our merits, not in our cleverness, not in our Bible knowledge, not in our obedience, not in anything. Our only boast is the cross of Christ. For on that cross, our debt was paid. On that cross, our sins were expunged. On that cross, our salvation was won.
Every single spiritual blessing in our life was made possible because Christ our Lord died on a cross and bore our sin. Of course we boast only in the cross.
"Christ is the glory of God. His blood-soaked cross is the blazing center of that glory. By it he bought for us every blessing – temporal and eternal. And we don't deserve any. He bought them all. Because of Christ's cross, God's elect are destined to be sons of God. Because of his cross all guilt is removed, and sins are forgiven, and perfect righteousness is imputed to us, and the love of God is poured out in our hearts by the Spirit, and we are being conformed to the image of Christ.


Low self-esteem can cause negative self-talk. This can further lower your self-esteem causing a vicious cycle where you continually feel bad about yourself. The good news is that you can change the way you talk to and about yourself. When you conquer negative self-talk, your self-esteem will improve. You'll gain more self-confidence and you'll feel more optimistic about your life in general.
Actions follow thoughts, so your thoughts are important.
Your actions always begin with your thoughts. If you think that you're destined to be overweight, then it doesn't matter how many diet books you buy or how many nutritionists you talk to, you're still going to be overweight. You'll stay overweight because you haven't changed your mindset.
If you want to change your life, you have to change your thoughts first. Instead of thinking that you're destined to be overweight, flip the script. Say to yourself, 'I am in control of what I eat and how much I eat'. Doing this changes the story you're telling yourself. You just went from the victim in this story to the victor.
You don't have to be carried away by negative thoughts.
You are the only one with the power to change your mental soundtrack. Just because you have a negative thought doesn't mean you have to listen to it. You have the power to change your focus. Instead of concentrating on the terrible day you had, start thinking about a simple pleasure you're anticipating like getting to change into your warm pajamas tonight or hearing your son's laughter during a silly bedtime game. By focusing on the positive, you're teaching yourself to let go of negative thoughts.
It's hard to stay positive if you're constantly consuming negative information. If you really want to change your negative self-talk, then you have to focus on consuming good stuff. You want to read and watch content that lifts you up. Not only will you feel better, you'll notice that your self-talk is more optimistic when you focus on the good.
What you say about yourself becomes your truth. That's why it can be helpful to practice positive affirmations every day. Start by looking in the mirror and telling yourself, 'Today, I choose to be happy' or 'Today, I choose to fully accept myself'. When you speak these thoughts out loud, they'll begin to affect how you talk to yourself and how you live your life.
Everyone struggles with negative self-talk at some point in their life. The important thing is not to beat yourself up when you realize your thoughts are negative. Accept that you had a negative thought and replace it with a positive one.

Q: Getting the first record by date and other field in .net core 3 I am trying to get the most recent record by another field 'group' using .net core 3. In .net core 2 this was possible using GroupBy but this no longer works and causes an exception - and now i am looking for an alternative.
Entity looks as follows:
Client --> Messages

Example: The data is as follows in a Messages table:
|Date      |Client |Message |
|01-01-2019|A      |Hello   |
|05-10-2019|A      |Blah    |
|06-11-2019|A      |Newest  |*Most recent by Date for Group A
|03-01-2019|B      |Oldest  |
|10-05-2019|B      |Test    |
|20-10-2019|B      |Also New|*Most recent by Date for Group B

I would like the response to have only:
|Date      |Client |Message |
|06-11-2019|A      |Newest  |*Most recent by Date for Group A
|20-10-2019|B      |Also New|*Most recent by Date for Group B

Previously i could do the following:
PersistenceManager.Context.Client.Include(c => c.Client).Where(x.Date >= date).GroupBy(x => x.ClientId).Select(g => g.OrderByDescending(y => y.Date).FirstOrDefault());

I have read a interesting blog here that suggest doing this by starting with the Client entity however i have a lot of Client records (hundreds) and if there is no record it creates a null. This also does not seem like the right solution under the circumstances.
Context.Client.Select(g => g.Messages.OrderBy(p => p.Name).FirstOrDefault())
                           .ToList();

Anyone solved for this type of problem in .net core 3.
Note: There are solutions i am aware of that use .AsEnumerable(), but this converts the query to a client side query where you can then filter/group/etc. The solution i am looking for is where the query is run on SQL Server.
This is the same issue as referenced here but for earlier EF versions.
Note: Date Column is DD-MM-YYYY.


For its clear abuse of law and repudiation of his avowed commitment to the fight against corruption and moral decadence, President Muhammadu Buhari must reject the N45.5 million All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential nomination forms bought for him yesterday by a shadowy group called Nigeria Consolidation Ambassadors Network.
When the president was sworn in on May 29, 2015, he was obligated not only to defend and protect the Constitution of the Federal Republic, but also to avoid any conflict between his personal and official interests. The Electoral Act 2010 as amended, being a creation of the Constitution, provides in S91(9) that no individual or other entity shall contribute more that N1million to the election expenses of a candidate, stipulating a fine of N1million or 12 months imprisonment for any candidate, who knowingly violates this provision.
By the guidelines of the APC on its nomination procedure, the president, being the aspirant, is the one required to purchase the forms. In his characteristic Spartan approach to life, he had openly protested the exorbitant nomination fees, saying as a salary earner, he could not afford it.
It would be cynical to argue that the group's intervention is a goodwill gesture meant to bail out an indigent president. However, the hefty sum of N45.5m used to purchase the forms amount to nothing but a contribution to the president's election expenses, which abundantly infringes on the law that pegs individual and group contribution to N1million.
Law apart, the development threatens to smear the moral credential of the president as the exhibited profile of members of the group cast a large shadow of doubt on their capacity to raise the huge amount in question. Certainly, none of them is known to be of any visible business or vocation, giving credence to the speculation that they might be fronting for a lousy North-central governor, who had earlier proposed to purchase the forms for the president.
Should our president, who has spent the last three years and more, expressing his disapproval of graft, be associated with this kind of doubtful transaction? We think not.
We appreciate that it could be argued back and forth, whether the nomination process being a pre-election exercise is intended to be covered by the law on election expenses. But we hold that our anti-corruption president ought not to be within the vicinity of any doubtful act that could in the fullness of time be found to be unlawful.
Besides, accepting a gift of N45.5million forms would gravely offend the Code of Conduct for Public Officers, which restrains public officials from accepting gifts which exceed certain limit that is capable of compromising the performance of their official responsibilities. This point is significant, because in his presentation, the group's National Coordinator, Mr. Sanusi Musa, said they put the money together to assist the president in appreciation of his good works. This, no doubt, amounts to gratification, an act the code seriously frowns upon and prescribes stern punishment for.
Our charge, therefore, is that the president should err on the side of caution and distance himself from this potential political time-bomb that is bound to explode shortly. He should reject the N45.5 million nomination forms bought for him by this group, whose integrity no one except the political jobbers around the Presidential Villa can vouch for.


It may come as a surprise to many that Caribbean island real estate is not out of reach to the average investor. While prices on the property of islands like Cayman, Turks and Barbados skyrocketed years ago, putting them beyond the reach of all but a select few, property on the island of Utila has just recently been put on the market at prices that you can actually afford. Of course, it won't stay that way forever. Eventually, these properties will join the ranks of the more well-known tropical islands, so you'll need to act fast to get in on the cusp of this real estate growth opportunity. If you've always dreamed of owning your Caribbean island paradise, Utila may be your best and most lucrative option.
For those who haven't had the opportunity to visit the Bay Islands, Utila is a unique experience. The moment you step off the plane you feel like you've always belonged there. The Bay Islands include Utila, Roatan, and Guanaja, with Utila being the smallest, at only 11 kilometers across. They are located near the coast of Honduras and the Port of La Ceiba.
As far as history is concerned, Utila was originally populated by the Paya Indians, and was then discovered (and named) in 1502 by none other than Christopher Columbus. From the 16th century all the way up to 1861, Spain and England both fought to claim control and ownership of the Bay Islands, before they were finally declared to be part of the Republic of Honduras.
Throughout history, Utila has drawn the seekers of adventure, breathtaking horizons, and Spanish treasure from nations around the world. Those who settled here found a happy home and now comprise a diverse and friendly community.
Yet the island is still largely unexplored and unsettled with fewer than 5,000 people, mostly living near the Eastern harbor. There aren't even a lot of motor vehicles on the island, and most prefer to get around on foot, bicycle or golf cart.
Possibly, what Utila is best known for is having the second largest barrier reef in the world. This makes the island the perfect place to explore ocean wildlife, with more than 500 species of fish, thousands of dolphins, and the largest gathering of Whale Sharks on Earth.
Anyone who has ever fantasized about owning their own piece of the Caribbean paradise dream should know that this is the ideal time to invest in Utila island property with MCGB Properties. The Group has been waiting for this moment to introduce the Utila properties on Coconut Cove and Bell's Key for more than 25 years. MCGB Properties of the MCG group of companies, has decided that the time is now.
Utila is not only beautiful and charming; it is also exciting and fun, with many activities, great dining establishments, intriguing landscapes to explore, and crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches. For these reasons and many more, Utila is quite simply the most exclusive and timely Caribbean opportunity.
Once you've had a chance to visit Utila, you'll appreciate the unique charm and culture and see what a wonderful place it is to live and enjoy for the rest of your life. Now, MCGB Properties is making it possible for you to reach your previously unattainable dreams of investing in what can only be described as paradise.

Poof! An old-school magic show materializes at Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret
Chris Castellano
Chris Castellano | June 12, 2009 | 10:58am
The word magic often conjures images of beleaguered bunnies, plastic wands and elegant assistants, usually half-dressed and halved in pine boxes. Even with the latest resurgence of magic in popular culture, the tendency is to discard the mysterious art's rich history just as smug, swaggering, sleight-of-hand superstars like David Blaine and Criss Angel eschew the vintage "magician" moniker for more dashing job descriptions such as "illusionist" and "escapologist."
Fortunately, on Friday nights in Denver, Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret (1601 Arapahoe) is keeping the golden age's spirit alive with an impressive new show known as Magic Underground.
Denver's first regular, consistent house-o-magic since the sixties is hosted by veteran magicians Professor Phelyx and Chad Allen. They're joined onstage by their non-magician co-host, Vegas, who performs an uproarious parody of eyebrow-cocked narcissist David Copperfield and his hyper-dramatized vanishing acts.
Lannie's, known for its entertaining burlesque shows and eclectic musical acts, is the perfect setting for this new production. Descending down into the intimate, Parisian-esque space, you're transported to an earlier, red-velvety, chandeliered time -- and that's exactly the point.
I've seen Magic Underground three weeks in a row, including last Friday night, and every time it was different -- each a unique blend of mind-blowing magic, sexy burlesque and sharp comedy. (And by sharp, I mean machete-juggling on a unicycle). Phelyx's signature effect of literally bending stainless steel forks, spoons, keys, and coins -- with his mind -- is nothing short of sorcery. Chad Allen, who, to most of the audience's shocked surprise, is actually blind, ventures even further into the impossible, with a legerdemain that's fittingly -- and flawlessly -- quicker than the eye.
Smoking-hot assistants and sultry aerial acts by a gravity-defying "Midnite Martini" raise the blood pressure during this hour-plus-long homage to a mostly ignored, though undeniably cool, era. A constantly rotating cast of guest magicians and national variety acts (including the crazy cycling knife juggler) help keep it all novel and worth revisiting.
The first recorded evidence of magic dates back almost 5,000 years ago. A guy by the name of Dedi devised a little trick he used to keep King Cheops entertained. Ostensibly, he would decapitate an ox, then reattach its head and reanimate him moments later. Magic Underground doesn't quite take you that far back in time, or decorum, but its classic vaudevillian charm seems just about as far away from the bombastic, self-indulgent offerings of the craft's prosaic, present-day pop stars.
Magic Underground gets underway tonight at 11 p.m. Admission is $10, and there's a full bar and menu available. Click here or phone 303-293-0075 for details.

When Steve Harris started New Life Community Church in Asheville, he envisioned a congregation that would be a "headquarters" to start other new churches.
As the church gets ready to celebrate its 12th anniversary, it has helped launch more than 100 others through pastoral training, financial support, prayer and encouragement.
"We decided that we were going to set that as a core value at New Life," he said.
Harris became interested in church planting while working on a doctor of ministry degree at Fuller Theological Seminary in California.
His "entrepreneur spirit" was captured by stories about how newer churches were growing, but his calling became clear when he heard church growth professor C. Peter Wagner talking about starting churches.
Steve Harris, right, pastor of New Life Community Church in Asheville, mentors Sabas and Mely Amador. New Life helped plant a new Hispanic church in the area. See photo gallery.
Wagner said church planting is the most effective form of evangelism, that new churches baptize more people per capita than existing churches and that new churches serve as a "warm incubator" for new believers.
Harris believes he was called to help start a "church planting movement." To be credible as the leader of such an effort, he had to start a church.
When New Life began, it included an initiative called "Mission 20:20," based on Acts 20:20, where Paul tells church leaders at Ephesus that he did not shrink from helping them, but taught them publicly and from house to house.
Harris was still training to be a church planter and New Life was still meeting in a school when Harris met the first church planter he'd help. He and Mike Madding met during a "church planter boot camp" and became friends.
New Life's offer of support helped convince Madding that God wanted him to start a church.
"They became the first church to say, 'We'll support what you're doing,'" Madding said.
The congregation Madding started, The Cove Church in Mooresville near Lake Norman, now has an average attendance of about 3,400 each Sunday, including about 400 at a satellite location in Statesville.
Based on Acts 1:8, New Life seeks to help new churches in its area and across the state, nation and world.
Currently, Harris is mentoring a Hispanic pastor who is starting a church in New Life's building.
New Life is also helping church planters in Asheville, Hendersonville, Mooresville, India, Uganda, Ukraine and Honduras.
Harris often serves as mentor for the church planters.
He also trains pastors who are involved in other church planting movements.
Harris also leads the church planting team in Buncombe Baptist Association, which is currently starting eight new churches.
Craig Bailey, Buncombe Association director of missions, appreciates Harris' work. It is important "to have guys on the cutting edge" to reach the "strange mix of people in Asheville," Bailey said.
Because Asheville is an attractive city, Bailey fields inquiries every week from men interested in planting a church there.
Harris said one of the biggest factors in starting a church is whether the pastor is gifted and called.
With training, support and encouragement the church planter is free to do what God is calling him to do.
Harris said that a conservative estimate of more than 10,000 people worship at churches helped to their start by New Life, which has 265 members and about 360 in attendance.
"From the beginning, we always said that our concern is not just addition, but multiplication," he said.

Largest Amount of Bridge Funding in 50 Years Rolling Out to States
Don McLoud
A new program created from the $1.2 trillion infrastructure law will spend $27 billion over five years to repair or replace 15,000 highway bridges.
Thanks to the new $1.2 trillion infrastructure law, 15,000 bridges around the country will be funded for repair or replacement, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.
USDOT calls the $26.5 billion in funding over the next five years the "single largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system."
The Federal Highway Administration is in charge of administering the newly created Bridge Formula Program.
"This record amount of funding, made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will allow states and Tribal governments to fix the bridges most in need of repair," says Deputy Federal Highway Administrator Stephanie Pollack. "It will also modernize bridges to withstand the effects of climate change and to make them safer for all users, including cyclists and pedestrians."
The USDOT estimates 15,000 highway bridges will be repaired, thanks to the funding. The funding can also be used by states to replace, rehabilitate, preserve, protect and construct highway bridges. Tribal areas will also receive $165 million for bridges not on the federal highway system.
The funding requires a 20 percent match from the states; however, locally owned bridges can get up to 100 percent federal money under the program for repairs or rehabilitation. Called "off-system bridges," they are highway bridges located on a public road, other than a bridge on a federal-aid highway.
The first round of funding for the program totals $5.3 billion for the current fiscal year.
The USDOT released the following chart showing the state breakdown of the funding for this fiscal year:

This is big money, so it's going straight into my savings towards my business that I plan to start in Pakistan," says the Abu Dhabi resident who works as a driver at Abu Dhabi airport. After watching the live draw on Saturday, Mushraf checked his Mahzooz account to confirm he had won after seeing his raffle ID on his phone and he was pleasantly surprised to see that he had won AED 100,000.
