A: You need to download the Command Line Tools for Mountain Lion.
Xcode installed:
Go to the prefences in Xcode (Xcode -> Preferences), select the 'Downloads' tab and choose to install Command Line Tools
Xcode not installed:
Apple has released a Command Line Tools package that is compatible with Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.*), check the Apple Developers Download Page. You will need a free developer account for this.

A: You need to install Xcode 4.4 (from the app store) and then, within xcode open Xcode > Preferences (or press Cmd + ,) then open the downloads tab and install the Command Line Tools.

A: For me, after installing the command-line tools, easy_install is in /usr/bin, not /usr/local/bin.  I needed to remove easy_install from /usr/local/bin:
$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/easy_install*
which removes (in my case)
easy_install, easy_install-2.6, and easy_install-2.7

A: I had a similar issue trying to follow these directions, what fixed it was:

*

*I removed /usr/bin/easy_install (not sure if nescessary)

*INSTALLED VERTUALENV using the EASY_INSTALL that was installed by brew in /usr/local
And all good!
Virtualenv really is the way to go.

Are you interested by recognizing how makers have the ability to ensure plastic toys' colours reasonable? Everything commences with adding Masterbatch on it. Masterbatch is really an agent in a good or liquid type that is certainly included to plastics such as resins. The additive along with the carrier is combined with each other and undergoes a heating procedure infusing the additive towards the carrier plastic. In addition to colors, some items also include performance-enhancing additives these as UV stabilizer, anti-static and metal deactivator; when mixed along with the provider, the resulting merchandise will carry the mentioned attributes.
Generally you will discover two kinds - universal and precise. A common one helps make usage of a provider method that will maintain as several additives which the business requires and as a result is suitable with distinct polymers. They're also cost-effective because they are readily available on the market. Certain masterbatch on the flip side has a tendency to be costlier because they are only created in little quantities. The particular polymer can be produced based upon the identical polymer base that is certainly employed all through processing. Even though it is expensive and comes in a limited choice of colors, it's got the highest compatibility and may be pre-dried alongside one another with its polymer host.
There are three distinctive procedures which masterbatches undergo to acquire the desired colour. The primary is usually a pre-mix system. On this process, the additives, jointly the carrier are additional alongside one another during the mixer. The benefit with this system is the fact the provider will have an improved prospect of substantial pigmentation resulting to superior quality output. Lower use on the completed product is additionally noticed.
The second course of action would be the split-feed in which the additives and also the polymer carrier is fed individually from the mixer. This method permits the polymers for being coated quickly enabling pigments to include on to the provider. The last would be the color matching method where the pre-mixes are fed to an extruder that plasticize the masterbatch to create the specified colour.
Another process that manufacturing businesses must also take into consideration will be the graviametric dosing. Graviametric dosing is usually a bit highly-priced; nevertheless it's the most accurate. In this method the masterbatch is included to your polymer right before processing. The calibration done ensures that all polymers are coated appropriately with the additives.
For organizations that are considering obtaining masterbatch additives, deciding upon the kind and colour from the polymer is vital to make sure that the additives would be efficient. As you'll find distinct suppliers that one can choose from, deciding on the one which gives good quality and low-cost without having compromising top quality is essential.

The Four Tendencies is Gretchen Rubin's exploration into how people respond to expectations, both internal and external. She categorizes people into four main tendencies: Upholder, Obliger, Questioner, and Rebel. Rubin asserts that identification of a person's tendency will enable that person to live a more successful life, as s/he will be able to tailor approaches to work and relationships to the characteristics of the tendency. Likewise, knowing the tendencies of those around you makes understanding why people act the way they do easier and lays a path for how best to interact with them.
The construct of the tendencies comes across as a fairly simple assumption; the notion there are only four options to describe the ways in which people react to internal and external expectations feels unfair given the complexity of human nature. Our discussion touched on whether or not a particular environment could cause someone to react in a manner not consistent with his or her tendency. We also talked about how frame of mind could alter responses. While the in-depth look at how these factors impact tendency is not very apparent in the book, we came to the conclusion that, like many things in life, the unknown can always throw you for a loop.
Additionally, we discussed the value of knowing the tendency of future hires for our company. There is utility in understanding where people are coming from, which could allow a manager to provide the support an employee may need in order to do his or her best work. The more you know, the more you can help someone.
Rubin, Gretchen. The Four Tendencies. Harmony, 2017.

LOT Polish Airlines (LO, Warsaw Chopin) is evaluating the use of Embraer E2 regional jets for its future short-haul needs, the Polish Radio Information Agency (IAR) has reported.
The Brazilian manufacturer brought its E190-E2 jet to Warsaw Chopin on September 4, 2018, and performed a demonstration flight over the Polish capital with the carrier's representatives and the media onboard.
Spokesman Adrian Kubicki underlined that LOT had good experiences with the current generation of Embraer jets and would be interested in adding the new generation units for the purposes of fleet renewal. However, he stressed that no decisions had yet been taken.
The Polish flag carrier currently operates six E170LRs, twelve E175s (including two for government transport at Polska Wojska Lotnicze i Obrony Powietrznej), six E195ARs, and six EMB-195LRs. It also due to add four E190s by the end of 2018. Once it does so, it will become the world's first operator of all four types of the current generation of Embraer Regional Jets.
According to the ch-aviation fleets module, Embraer has so far delivered three EMB-190 E2s, all of them to Norway's Wideroe.

Q: Relation between linear transformations and traces a) Let $A \in M_n (K)$. We denote $f_A$ the linear form defined, for every $X \in M_n (K)$, by $f_A(X)=Tr(AX)$. Show that the function $f$ which maps $A \in M_n (K)$ to $f_A$ is an isomorphism between $M_n (K)$ and its dual.
b) Let $f: M_n (K) \rightarrow K$ be a linear form such that, for every $(X,Y)$ in $M_n (K)^2$, $f(XY)=f(YX)$. Show that there exists $\lambda \in K$ such that for every $X \in M_n (K)$, $f(X)=\lambda Tr(X)$
That is what I have:
a) Let $(E_{ij})_{1\leq i,j \leq n}$ be the standard basis for $M_n (K)$. Let us start by showing that for every $1 \leq i,j,k,l \leq n$, we have $E_{ij} E_{kl}= \delta_{jk} E_{il}$
We have $E_{ij}=(\delta_{pi} \delta_{qj})_{1 \leq p,q \leq n}$ and $E_{kl}=(\delta_{pk} \delta_{ql})_{1 \leq p,q \leq n}$
$A= E_{ij} E_{kl}= (a_{p,q})$ such that:
$a_{p,q}= \sum \limits_{r=1}^n (\delta_{pi} \delta_{rj})(\delta_{rk} \delta_{ql})=( \sum \limits_{r=1}^n \delta_{rj} \delta_{rk})\delta_{pi} \delta_{ql}= \delta_{jk} \delta_{pi} \delta_{ql}$
Hence: $E_{ij} E_{kl}= \delta_{jk} E_{il}$
$$\begin{array}{c}\\\\\end{array}$$
It is obvious that $f$ is linear. Therefore, for dimensional reasons, we must only show that $f$ is injective. Let $A= (a_{ij})_{1\leq i,j \leq n}$ such that $f_A=0$. We therefore have, for $1 \leq i_0, j_0 \leq n$
$0= Tr(AE_{i_0 j_0})= Tr(\sum \limits_{1 \leq i,j \leq n} a_{ij}E_{ij}E{i_0 j_0})= Tr(\sum \limits_{i=1}^n a_{i i_{0}}E_{i i_0} E_{i_0 j_0})= \sum \limits_{i=1}^n a_{i i_0} Tr(E_{i j_0})=a_{j_{0} i_{0}}$
Hence $A$ equals zero.
Therefore, $f_A$ is an isomorphism.
$$\begin{array}{c}\\\\\end{array}$$
Can someone help me with b?

A: b) By assumption, $f$ is a linear form so by a) we have $A$ such that $f=f_A$.
Then for every $i\neq j$:
$$
a_{ji}=\mbox{Tr}(AE_{ij})=\mbox{Tr}(AE_{ii}E_{ij})=f_A(E_{ii}E_{ij})=f_A(E_{ij}E_{ii})=f_A(0)=0
$$
and
$$
a_{ii}=\mbox{Tr}(AE_{ii})=f_A(E_{ii})=f_A(E_{ij}E_{ji})=f_A(E_{ji}E_{ij})=f_A(E_{jj})=\mbox{Tr}(AE_{jj})=a_{jj}.
$$
Hence $A$ is a scalar matrix, which yields the result.

A: Let $A \in M_n (K)$ such that $f=f_A$. We have, for every $(X,Y) \in M_n (K)^2$, $Tr(AXY)=Tr(AYX)$. Since $Tr(AYX)=Tr(XAY)$, we can deduce that $Tr((AX-XA)Y)=0$. Since this is true for every matrix $Y$, we have, according to question a), $AX=XA$. Therefore $A$ is commutative with every matrix $X$.
Let us show that $A$ is a scalar matrix i.e. a scalar multiple of the identity matrix. If $A= (a_{ij})_{1 \leq i,j \leq n}$, we have for every $1 \leq i,j \leq n$,
$AE_{ij}=\sum \limits_{1 \leq k,l \leq n} a_{kl} E_{kl} E_{ij}= \sum \limits_{k=1}^n a_{ki}E_{kj}=E_{ij}A= \sum \limits_{1 \leq k,l \leq n} a_{kl} E_{ij} E_{kl}= \sum \limits_{l=1}^n a_{jl} E_{il}$
By uniqueness of the writing, we obtain $a_{ki}=0$ for $k \neq i$ and $a_{ii}=a_{jj}$: A is therefore a scalar matrix. Hence, $f=f_A$ is collinear to the trace. Therefore, there exists $\lambda \in K$ such that for every $X \in M_n (K)$, $f(X)=\lambda Tr(X)$

Why did they sell so much? Desslok's fleet moves in to destroy the Star Force with the Desslok Cannon. But the sales of Yamato character goods were terrific. The Andromeda and other ships have skeleton crews, with most of the central systems controlled by computer. It attracted 4 million viewers with a box-office gross of 4.

The film version released here has been edited together from episodes of the tv series. Space Battleship Yamato Perfect Collection Laserdisc set Guidebook 100 pages, approx. Thanks to this connection, it was the first magazine to ever carry a Yamato cover story, which fronted for an interview with Leiji Matsumoto which can be read in full.

Other non-summer films such as Final Yamato and Queen Millennia made original Leiji Matsumoto anime movies into an annual program for the Shibuya Tokyu system. The first season contained 26 episodes, following the Yamato 's voyage out of the Milky Way Galaxy and back again. Toei, which distributed Farewell, did the same for Galaxy Express 999, an original film by Leiji Matsumoto and Toei Animation, which opened August 4, 1979. Usually, the trading partner of the entertainment company is a distributor that supplies films, making it possible to debut a film in a movie theater.

Since becoming a press reporter in 1987, he broadened his focus beyond the content of films to examine the related topics of distribution, promotion, box office, and everything else both upstream and downstream. And Tokuma Shoten was handsomely rewarded for paying attention; Roman Album 1 went through six printings in its first month alone. Yamato was the only anime title listed among such live-action fare as 2001, Star Wars, and the James Bond series. With the energy boost, the Star Force manages to fire the Wave Motion Gun at the on-coming antimatter missles, thus, to Desslok's amusement, destroying the missles and Torbuck's fleet.

Q: .NET Web-Application and Load Balancer I have three tiered .NET web-application with F5 load balancer (sticky sessions) in front of the web tier (total of 4 web-servers) and another load F5 load balancer (sticky sessions) between the web-tier and the application tier (total of 4 applications servers).  The underlying database is clustered.
Questions
By using a load balancer between the web-tier and the application tier, is this the only way to manage session state?
If you were to use only a F5 load balancer in front of the web-tier, what mechanism would use to handle session state to the application tier?

A: You can use 2 standard options for session state management if you don't want to use sticky sessions on a load-balancer level.
See msdn Session-state
Configure your applications with the State Server Mode, you can configure one server to run the session state service, and all applications are configured to point to that server. So the state is stored in memory on one server.
 <configuration>
  <system.web>
    <sessionState mode="StateServer"
      stateConnectionString="tcpip=SampleStateServer:42424"
      cookieless="false"
      timeout="20"/>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

The other option is to configure your applications with the SQL Server Mode. The state is stored in a SQL database. This is the safest option, since the session state is persisted.
<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <sessionState mode="SQLServer"
      sqlConnectionString="Integrated Security=SSPI;data
        source=SampleSqlServer;" />
  </system.web>
</configuration>

Carolina - The Native Americans
The Chickasaw Indians
The Chickasaw territory proper was in northern Mississippi, at a considerable distance from South Carolina, but about 1753 a body of Chickasaw Indians settled on the South Carolina side of Savannah River, to be near the English trading posts and to keep in contact with the English, who were their allies.
Before 1757, most of them moved over to the immediate neighborhood of Augusta, Georgia and remained there until the period of the American Revolution. In that war they sided against the colonists and their lands were confiscated in 1783.
The meaning of the name Chickasaw is unknown, though the ending suggests that it might have been a place name. Also called:
Ani'-Tsl'ksfl, Cherokee name.
Kasahd dnfl°, Yuchi name.
TchaktchM,n, Arapaho name.
Tchfkasa, Creek name.
Tci'-ka-sa', Kansa name.
Ti-ka'-jh, Quapaw name.
Tsi'-ka-ca, Osage name.
Linguistically, the Chickasaw were closely connected with the Choctaw and one of the principal tribes of the Muskhogean group.
In northern Mississippi, principally in Pontotoc and Union Counties. Also in South Carolina and North Carolina, as well as several other states.
Aside from some incorporated tribes such as the Napochi and Chakchiuma, no major subdivisions other than towns are mentioned until late in Chickasaw history when we hear of three such subdivisions: those of Tishomingo, Sealy, and McGilvery, named after their chiefs. These, however, were probably superficial and temporary.
Villages:
Ackia.
Alaoute, mentioned only by Iberville.
Amalahta.
Apeonné.
Apile faplimengo (Iberville).
Ashukhuma.
Ayebisto (Iberville).
Chatelaw.
Chinica (Iberville).
Chucalissa.
Chukafalaa.
Coüf loussa, (French Memoir of 1755).
Latcha Hoa, on Latcha Hoa Run, an affluent of Ahoola Ihalchubba, a western tributary of Tombigbee River, northeastern Mississippi.
Etoukouma (De Batz).
Falatchao.
Gouytoia (Iberville).
Ogoula-Tchetoka (Do Batz).
Onthaba atchosa (Iberville).
Ooe-asa, in Creek Nation near Sylacauga.
Oucahata (Iberville).
Oucthambolo (Iberville).
Outanquatle (French Memoir of 1755).
Tanyachilca (Iberville).
Thanbolo (Iberville).
Tuckahaw.
Tuskawillao.
Yaneka.
All of the above, with one or two exceptions noted, were close to one another in the general location given above.
Like most of the other Muskhogean peoples, the Chickasaw believed they had come from the west. They thought that they had settled for a time at a spot in northern Alabama on the north side of the Tennessee River long known as Chickasaw Old Fields. There is little doubt that Chickasaw had once lived at that place whether or not the whole tribe was so located.
The first Europeans to become acquainted with the tribe were the Spaniards under Hernando De Soto, who spent the months of January, February, and March of 1541 in the Chickasaw country, and in the latter month were attacked by the tribe with such fury that they were nearly destroyed.
Little is heard of the Chickasaw from this time until French explorers and colonists arrived, at the end of the seventeenth century. They found the tribe in approximately the position in which De Soto had encountered them, and they found them as warlike as before. Although the French tried to make peace with them, English traders had effected establishments in their country even before the settlement of Louisiana, and they remained consistent allies of England while England and France were fighting for the possession of North America.
In the south, their alliance meant much the same to the English as Iroquois friendship meant to them in the north.
As practically all of the surrounding peoples were devoted to the French, and the Chickasaw were not numerous, they were obliged to maintain a very unequal struggle until the final victory of England in 1763, and they suffered severely in consequence.
They supported the Natchez Indians when they revolted in 1729, and when French expeditions from the north and south were hurled upon them simultaneously in 1736, they beat both off with heavy losses.
In 1740, a gigantic attempt was made to conquer them, but the greater part of the force assembled dissolved without accomplishing anything. A small French expedition under Celoron succeeded in obtaining a treaty of peace advantageous to the French but this soon became a dead letter, and French communications up and down the Mississippi River were constantly threatened and French voyageurs constantly attacked in the period following.
In 1752 and 1753, the French commanders Benoist and Reggio were defeated by the Chickasaw. At an earlier period, shortly before 1715, they and the Cherokee together drove the Shawnee from their settlements on the Cumberland, and in 1745 they expelled another Shawnee band from the same region.
In 1769, they utterly routed the Cherokee on the site of the Chickasaw Old Fields.
In 1793-95, war broke out with the Creeks, who invaded their territories with 1,000 men, but while they were attacking a small stockade, a band of about 200 Chickasaw fell upon them, whereupon an unaccountable terror took possession of the invaders, and they fled precipitately.
There was at one time a detached body of Chickasaw on the lower Tennessee River not far from its mouth.
They also had a town among the Upper Creeks for a brief period (Ooe-asa), and a settlement near Augusta, GA, from about 1723 to the opening of the American Revolution.
The Chickasaw maintained friendship with the American Government after its establishment, but, being pressed upon by white settlers, parted with their lands by treaties made in 1805, 1816, 1818, and 1832.
The actual migration to new homes in what is now Oklahoma began in 1837 and extended to 1847.
The Chickasaw and Choctaw mingled rather indiscriminately at first but their lands were separated in 1855 and the Chickasaw set up an independent government modeled on that of the United States which lasted until merged in the new state of Oklahoma.
Mooney (1928) estimates that there were about 8,000 in 1600.
In 1702, Iberville estimated that there were 2,000 families of Chickasaw, but in 1715 a rather careful enumeration made by the colony of South Carolina, gave 6 villages, 700 men, and a population of 1,900.
In 1761, a North Carolina estimate gives about 400 men; in 1766, about 350.
Most of the subsequent estimates of the number of warriors made during the eighteenth century vary between 250 and 800.
In 1817, Morse (1822) places the total population at 3,625; in 1829 General Peter B. Porter estimates 3,600 (in Schoolcraft, 1851-57, vol. 3); and a more accurate report in Schoolcraft gives 4,715 in 1833.
The figures of the United States Indian Office between 1836 and the present time vary from 4,500 for 1865 to 1870 to nearly 11,000 in 1923, but this latter figure includes more than 5,000 freedmen and persons intermarried in the tribe, and, when we allow for mixed bloods, we shall find that the Chickasaw population proper has usually stood at between 4,500 and 5,500 during the entire period.
There has probably been a slow decline in the absolute amount of Chickasaw blood owing to constant intermixture with other peoples.
The 1910 census returned 4,204 Chickasaw and that of 1930, 4,745.
The Chickasaw were noted:
(1) as one of the most warlike tribes of the Gulf of Mexico area,
(2) as the tribe of all those encountered by the Spaniards who came nearest to putting an end to De Soto's army,
(3) as the constant allies of the English without whom the control of the Gulf region by the latter would many times have been jeopardized.
There are post villages of the name in Mobile County, AL, and Mercer County, OH, and Chickasha, a variant form, is the name of the county seat of Grady County, OK.

A major retailer has announced the closure of its Horsham town centre store.
Stationery supplier Office Outlet has revealed its store in Worthing Road is to close.
A large banner banner announcing the news has been hung on the storefront although the final closing date is yet to be announced.
The national retailer entered administration earlier this week.
More than 1,000 jobs have been put at risk as part of the move.
The company was previously known as Staples before being bought out by restructuring specialist Hilco Capital in 2016 and rebranded.
Office Outlet has more than 90 stores across the UK and employs 1,200 members of staff.

Pinterest Has a Graveyard for Failed Google Products
Google, like any large company, has had its share of failed products and services. Just this week, Google has shut down some of its products, including Google Video, Google Mini, and iGoogle.
With the beta culture still alive and well within Google, it's also easy for half-baked concepts to make their way to a public beta release. Since Google products are always being experimented with and iterated on, many users of niche products can be left out in the cold when Google decides to abandon them. Take Google Wave, for example. Wave was touted as the service that would replace email, and combined Most of the good features of Wave have been rolled into Gmail and Google Drive, but, as a concept, Google Wave was a failure. When Wave was killed, many users who "got" it were sad to see it go
Now, a Pinterest collection of all the services and products that have been killed off by Google has popped up on Pinterest. Dubbed the "Google Graveyard," the software showcased in the collection shows just how a company as large and popular as Google can also sometimes fail. Of course, some of the products are also startups that Google has acquired, then unceremoniously killed off. Also, as some of the commenters to the Pins point out, many of the products have been rolled into other services. Google Video, for example, has had its collection combined with YouTube, and Google Patent Search is still available through a normal Google Search.
Some of the highlights in the Google Graveyard are products that were released with much fanfare from Google. In addition to Google Video and Wave, Google Buzz and Google Desktop stand out as products Google had high hopes for. Buzz was Google's failed attempt at a Twitter-like microblogging service, which ended up as a repository of tweets pushed from Twitter. Google Desktop was Google's local indexing service and desktop search bar. Google claimed the move to more cloud-based storage was what made Desktop obsolete.

Q: Bootstrap CSS isn't being overridden by Custom css So I'm using bootstrap to make a navbar and used their example navbar as my foundation.
I fiddled with the bootstrap file to make it so that the navbar will collapse at 995px instead of 768px. Now because of that my navbar's button stays at the left side until the window size is below 768px.
I found that if I changed
@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .navbar-header {
        float: left;
    }
}

to
@media (min-width: 995px) {
    .navbar-header {
        float: left;
    }
}

then it works fine.
However I put
@media (min-width: 995px) {
    .navbar-header {
        float: left;
    }
}

into a custom.css and loaded it after bootstrap.css and no change occurred. My custom.css didn't override the boostrap.css. I would like to refrain from changing the bootstrap.css.
This is what the navbar looks like right now

This is what it should look like

A: So the quick fix is adding !important to your custom styles.
Another way to fix this is to make your custom styles more specific. I'm talking about the selector. You should give the element an Id and call that in your custom styles.
This makes your custom styles more specific, and therefore take precedence. You can also increase the specificity by indicating the parents in the selector.
header #yourNewId { ... }  > #yourNewId{ ... }  > .navbar-header{ ... }

A: Always apply latest rule with equal specificity selectors.
First, if not yet, place custom.css after bootstrap.css.
Then check media queries. If you just add
@media (min-width: 995px) {
    .navbar-header {
        float: left;
    }
}

to custom, it can't override it between 768 and 994 in bootstrap.
@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .navbar-header {
        float: left;
    }
}

Use something like it (change it to what you want):
@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .navbar-header {
        float: none;
    }
}
@media (min-width: 995px) {
    .navbar-header {
        float: left;
    }
}

A: The element is always floating left, so you won't be seeing any change. Never.

" Daydream Believer " is by The Monkees, the American rock and pop band. The group consisted of Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork.
The group were formed in 1965 in Los Angeles for the American television series The Monkees; they were put together by Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider. The Monkees TV show ran from 1966 to 1968.
Originally the producers wanted to use the Loving Spoonful, a New York folk-rock group. The group had already been signed, which made it impossible for the music from the show to have been marketed. In 1965 an advert was placed in the Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter for members to be cast for a TV show.
Micky Dolenz described the concept behind The Monkees as initially being " a TV show about an imaginary band … that wanted to be the Beatles, [but] that was never successful ". In fact, they went on to be one of the most commercially successful bands of the 60s, outselling the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones combined.
Many of their songs remain a favourite with fans to this day, classic songs like " Last Train to Clarksville ", " Pleasant Valley Sunday " and " I'm a Believer ". The Monkees have to date, sold over 75 million records.
Production for the single was by Chip Douglas ( Douglas Farthing Hatlelid ), the American songwriter, musician and record producer.
He began his musical career with The Wilcox Three, a folk group he formed while in high school. The group was modelled on The Kingston Trio. Later he performed with The Modern Folk Quartet and The Turtles, who are best known for " Happy Together ", which topped the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in 1967 for three weeks.
Michael Nesmith spotted Chip performing with The Turtles at Hollywood's Whisky a Go Go and asked if he'd like to produce The Monkees, to which he agreed.
" Daydream Believer " was released on the 25th of October 1967 by record label Colgems Records ( label now Defunct, all rights to The Monkees owned by Rhino Records ) and taken from the band's fifth studio album, The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees.
The album, released on the 22nd of April 1968, was the first of their albums not to top the Billboard Chart. The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees reached number three in the United States and failed to chart at all in the United Kingdom. The first four albums released all made it into the Top Ten. To date, The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees has sold over a million copies worldwide.
Lyrically, according to writer John Stewart, the song is about the beginning of married life whereby couples experience a type of idealistic haze, this, however, fades after a few years with each seeing the other as they are. At that point, the love is tested. The single was intended to be the third in a trilogy of songs about life in suburbia.
The accompanying music video features Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork, with Davy on lead vocals.
" Daydream Believer " was a commercial success for The Monkees. In the United States, the song reached Number One on the Billboard Hot 100, spending four weeks at the top and the same amount of time on the chart.
In the United Kingdom, the song entered the UK Singles Chart on the 21st of November 1967 and reached a peak of number five. It spent six weeks in the Top Ten and a total of seventeen weeks on the UK chart.

After a fun-filled three days in the Windy City, we were up at 6am to claim the car from the extortionately overpriced valet parking service.
It was a Monday morning so our plan was to hit the motorway before the rush hour traffic started at 7.30am. After some tricky navigation through the roadwork chaos in central Chicago we escaped the city – on the opposite side, the inbound traffic was already building up.
As we drove out of Illinois we stopped at several toll plazas – the few dollars seemed worth it to avoid the queues and drive on better roads. It was still shocking just how run down US roads and infrastructure are. From Illinois we crossed over into Indiana – driving passed massive factories pumping out smoke over small towns lining the highway.
After a short stint in Indiana we headed north into Michigan along I-94 passing through Kalamazoo and Jackson en route to Detroit. Our original plan had been to spend the night in Detroit but we soon realised there was nothing to do there.
We needed a driving break, so stopped at the abandoned Packard Plant – a iconic relic of Detroits industrial and automotive past. The surrounding neighbours are all extremely deprived – what was once a prosperous neighbourhood was now largely boarded up but looked like a gangland. We eventually found a small park where we could safely stop without attracting too much attention.
The run down Packard Plant buildings are in the early stages of being converted into housing but still in ruins, so we decided it would make a great drone photo so sent LARS exploring over the enormous site.
From above we flew through the ruins, passed the old water tower and skybridge and along the old railway line. The scale of the building was impressive – it must have been spectacular in its day.
With nothing else in Detroit of interest we decided to carry on across into Canada and give ourselves a head start for our trip the next day to Toronto.
We'd heard the Ambassador Bridge border crossing was one of the busiest between the two North American neighbours but we drove across a completely empty bridge, straight up to an immigration lane and had crossed within five minutes.
We found ourselves in the small Canadian town of Windsor – another deprived and unattractive town. We decided however to stay here for the evening to get some essential admin done, namely haircuts and laundry which were now critically overdue.
We found a coin laundry in town and spent a productive two hours washing and drying every item of clothing we had. Rather than $3.50 per pair of boxer shorts that the hotel in Chicago charged – we spent just $6!
With a boot full of clean clothes we headed to the local mall where stopped for a haircut and Taco Bell dinner. While my haircut was fine – Jamie's got progressively shorter by the minute until the barber practically got the bic razor out and shaved him bald…. he also asked where we were from and when we said London he assumed it was the London, Ontario – a city a few hours up the road.
After a productive afternoon we called it a night and had a relaxing evening at the motel – preparing for the next leg of our Canadian adventure.
You guessed it – the next morning was another early start as we hit the 401 to Toronto. It was immediately apparent just how much better Canadian roads are than US ones – however Canadian driving and traffic is ten times worse – indicators are clearly optional extras.
The drive was going smoothly until we entered Toronto and ground to snail pace for nearly an hour. Eventually we found our guest house and parked up in a small car park adorned with graffiti of the Taj Mahal and Machu Pichu – two of the highlights of our trip.
After a quick shower and relax, our friend Ian we'd met on our travels in India came and picked us up for an afternoon of baseball and beer.
Our first stop was a sports bar across the road from the Rogers Arena, under the shadow of the CN Tower – which was also our final 'Wonder of the Modern World'.
After a few beers and a snack we moved on to the Steam Whistle brewery where we enjoyed a couple more beers while we waited for Ian's bro to arrive.
With a full squad we headed the short walk across the road the stadium. Jamie stopped at one of the local merchandise stores and bought himself a Blue Jays baseball cap, while the rest of us headed inside to buy more beers.
Ian had scored some awesome seats behind the batter with the players families, giving us a great view of the game. With beer and hot dogs in hand, the game flew by. At one point the Blue Jays were 6-1 down to Tampa but a triple score around the 7th game brought the game back to 6-4.
Jamie opted for soft drinks as he was driving the next morning, while the rest of us continued with a few more rounds of beers. These helped soften the defeat as the comeback was short lived and the game fizzled out with the Jays losing 6-4. The eleven or so pints was more than enough for one night so we said our goodbyes and got an Uber back to our hotel.

George Thorogood & The Destroyers may be available for your next special event!
White blues guitarist George Thorogood first became interested in music, notably Chicago blues, when he saw John Paul Hammond performing in 1970. Three years later he formed the Destroyers in Delaware before moving them to Boston where they backed visiting blues stars.
Thorogood played early in his career as an opener for Hound Dog Taylor and the Houserockers and was greatly influenced by them. Other musicians worth mentioning are John Lee Hooker (Thorogood has said that he is the best man to play with Hooker because they both play as "wrong"), Elmore James, Chuck Berry, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf.
The Delaware Destroyers comprised Thorogood (guitar), Michael Levine (bass), and Jeff Simon (drums). School friend Ron Smith played guitar on and off to make up the quartet. There was briefly another bass player, Bill Judefind. According to some sources the Destroyers played quite often like the Houserockers, without a bass player. In 1974 they recorded some demos in Boston, which were later released in 1979 as an MCA rip-off-album called "Better Than The Rest."
No record company was really interested in them, so they kept on playing blues in small clubs. It was not until hot July night in 1975 when diehard blues fanatic John Forward was looking for some live blues in Boston area. He decided to go to Joe's Place in Cambridge although he had never heard of George Thorogood and Delaware Destroyers who played there. He got extremely excited about them, named himself as Fan Number 1 and put them in touch with independent folk label Rounder.
They made their first album in 1975, but the album was not released until 1977 because of many different reasons. Some say that Thorogood was too "rocking" for folk label Rounder, but Rounder claims that they had no suitable photos for the album (!!). During recording sessions bass player Levine was fired or resigned and was replaced by Bill Blough.
After some good publicity about their first album, Thorogood & Destroyers released their second album in 1978, "Move It On Over." That got much more fame and made Thorogood & Destroyers known even in Finland. The title track, a cover of Hank Williams' classic, was pulled as a single and received heavy FM airplay, helping the album to the American Top 40 and go gold.
Smith left in 1980 and was replaced by saxophonist Hank Carter. Carter, who lived in the same city as Thorogood, was considered as the toughest player in town (even tougher than Thorogood) and nobody had the guts to ask him to join The Destroyers until 1980. Carter accepted their offer immediately and is still playing with them after almost 20 years.
George Thorogood, a former semi-professional baseball player, took time away from music that season to play ball, but by 1981 was back in the fold as the band opened for The Rolling Stones at several of their American gigs. The venues were unfamiliar to Thorogood, since normally he shunned large areas for smaller clubs, even going to extent of playing under false names to prevent the smaller venues from being overcrowded.
George Thorogood & Destroyers' famous tour in 1981 was called 50/50. That meant they toured 50 states in 50 days and played a gig in every one of them. No nights off!
After their third album in 1980, "I'm Wanted," with Rounder they signed to EMI. Their breakthrough album, "Bad To The Bone," was released in 1987. The title track got put to the movie "Christine" and they made their first music video from that same song featuring Thorogood and Bo Diddley playing some pool. The title track of the album became their first major crossover hit, thanks to MTV's saturation airplay of the song's video. The album went gold and spent nearly a full year on the charts.
In 1985 Destroyers released their perhaps best selling album, "Maverick." A song from that album, "I Drink Alone," even got to the "Don't Drink and Drive" campaign. In the same year they appeared at Live Aid playing with blues legends Albert Collins and Bo Diddley.
In 1986 EMI noticed how popular George Thorogood And The Destroyers really were and released a live album called simply "Live." Every two years after that, they have continued releasing albums. In the spring of 1997 they released "Rockin' My Life Away."
Nobody seems to know anything about George Thorogood's personal life. He doesn't want to talk about it, claiming that he is a ageless man who enjoys rough life and endless touring. He is interested only in music, beer, whiskey, women and baseball. He understands someone writing about John Lee Hooker or James Brown – people who've made an incredible impact on music history. But the Destroyers? We're like a burger joint, he says. Then again, there's nothing wrong with selling cheeseburgers as long as they're quality cheeseburgers, he adds and says that's the way he thinks of the Destroyers.
Because George's philosophy is to provide his legions of fans with the music they have come to crave – for as long as they're enjoying themselves – he's ebulliently optimistic about his immediate and long-term future.
He's always been cutting edge, both a forerunner and veteran. That's why everyone from The Rolling Stones and Little Feat to the Allman Brothers and ZZ Top have sought him out for tours. To quote his favorite comedian, Jackie Gleason, "How sweet it is!"

Global Indices Little Changed
Largely solid U.S. Comps have minimal positive impact on overall market.
By Samantha Conti and Vicki M. Young on May 8, 2014
It was generally a good trading day for the global indices.
In the U.S., the trading sessions ended mixed as the Dow Jones industrial Average rose 0.2 percent to 16,550.97. The S&P 500 Retailing Industry Group was essentially flat at down 0.02 percent to 837.08, even though retailers reporting monthly comparable-store figures for the most part pulled in some sales in April that they lost in March.
Teen retailer Zumiez Inc. was the day's biggest gainer, up 11 percent to $27.54. L Brands Inc. rose 4.8 percent to $55.93, while Cato Corp. rounded out the top three, up 3.8 percent to $28.75.
Among the day's top three retail losers was Cache Inc., down 16 percent to $1.95. Quiksilver Inc. was down 2.9 percent to $6.34 and the Bon-Ton Stores Inc. fell 2.3 percent to $10.21.
In Europe, the stock markets edged up at the close of trading, with the FTSE MIB in Milan leading the way.
The Italian market was up 2.3 percent to 21,729.64, followed by the CAC 40 in Paris, 1.4 percent to 4,507.24, and the DAX in Frankfurt, 0.9 percent to 9,607.40. The FTSE 100 in London advanced 0.6 percent to 6,839.25.
The euro traded at $1.39, while the pound fetched $1.70 and the Swiss franc equaled $1.14.
Retail and luxury stocks were also on the upswing, with the day's biggest gainers including Aeffe, which earlier this week sought to quash rumors that it was the target of a takeover. The stock climbed 18.4 percent to 1.26 euros, notwithstanding Aeffe's protestations that it is not looking for investors.
French Connection Group advanced 2.2 percent to 0.92 pounds; Marks & Spencer Group, 2.8 percent to 4.49 pounds; Metro AG, 2.7 percent to 28.91 euros following its report of widening losses in the second quarter; and LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, 1.9 percent to 142.70 euros.
