NEW YORK — Life on Earth, Inc., a "make-it-better" consumer-based brand accelerator company, has reached an agreement to acquire Wild Poppy Company, Inc., Los Angeles. Founded in 2011, Wild Poppy is an organic soda and exotic juice beverage company.
Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
"This latest acquisition of the Wild Poppy brand marks our last acquisition for this year and perhaps for the near future," said Fernando Oswaldo Leonzo, chief executive officer of Life On Earth. "We now have four brands in which we are working on some exciting initiatives, including entering a new market segment that has been talked about for some time in our industry. With the recent passing of the 2018 farm bill, we feel that the timing for our company to complete the final stages of product development of our flagship brand, Just Chill, is underway and one in which we will be rolling out new products, functionalities, flavors and packaging in early 2019.
"Our goal is to showcase our new product launches as well as incorporate the latest edition to our family of brands, like Wild Poppy, as well as the people behind them who helped bring them to market. We are focused on showcasing our new initiatives at an upcoming trade show this coming March 2019."
Life On Earth's brands include Gran Nevada, Just Chill, Life On Earth and Victoria's Kitchen.
George Bryson, founder of Wild Poppy, said the company is excited about the prospects of receiving brand support from Life On Earth.
"We want to be part of that bigger picture," he said. "There is still so much untapped market opportunity, and we believe that together we can take the market share that can grow this company substantially faster than if we had gone it alone."
Life on Earth said the acquisition of Wild Poppy immediately will add to the company's revenue stream. The deal also will bring on board a key individual to help with the innovation and supply chain aspect of the Life on Earth organization, the company said.

Report card on Iowa schools: Data shows how Iowa compares to other states
Although Iowa used to be at the top, several education rankings show Iowa in the middle of the pack compared to other states. KCCI's Amanda Rooker looked through test scores and decades of data to find out how Iowa public schools are really doing.
Updated: 7:11 PM CDT Aug 22, 2022
Amanda Rooker
Chief Political Reporter
SEVERAL OF THE DISTRICT SCHOOL BUILDINGS AS STUDENTS HEAD BACK TO CLASS. WE WANTED TO KNOW HOW IOWA SCHOOLS COMPARE TO SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. KCCI AMANDA ROOKER TALKED WITH HISTORIANS AND SOME EDUCATION EXPERTS ABOUT HOW IOWA STACKS UP. STACY STEVE IOWA USED TO BE ONE OF THE TOP STATES FOR EDUCATION, BUT NOW SEVERAL NATIONAL RANKINGS SHOW IOWA IS MORE LIKE THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK. I LOOK THROUGH TEST SCORES AND RECORDS GOING BACK DECADES TO FIND OUT HOW IOWA PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE REALLY DOING. IOWA HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN FOR EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION. HISTORIANS SAY IT'S PART OF OUR STATE'S PAST THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN IOWA HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHING THAT IOWANS HAVE BEEN PROUD OF AND PARENTS AGREE. I THINK WE'VE ALWAYS HAD A REALLY PROUD TRADITION OF EDUCATION IN IOWA. I THINK THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE TAKE PRIDE IN AND SOMETHING THAT WE'VE TAKEN PRIDE IN FOR A LONG TIME. THAT PRIDE EVEN MADE ITS WAY UNDER IOWA'S STATE QUARTER WITH THE WORDS FOUNDATION AND EDUCATION PRINTED ON EVERY COIN. BUT HAS IOWA'S TOP TIER REPUTATION CHANGED? IF YOU GO ONLINE AND SEARCH BEST STATES FOR EDUCATION, YOU'LL FIND WORLD POPULATION REVIEW RANKS. IOWA AT NUMBER 13. WALLETHUB PUTS THE HAWKEYE STATE AT NUMBER 19 FOR EDUCATION COMPARED TO OTHER STATES. AND U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT, ONE OF THE MOST WELL-KNOWN ORGANIZATIONS FOR SCHOOL RANKINGS, LISTS IOWA AT NUMBER 24 WHEN IT COMES TO PRE-K THROUGH 12TH GRADE. PARENTS, ESPECIALLY GOING INTO SCHOOL ARE THINKING ABOUT ARE MY KIDS IN THE RIGHT SCHOOL? ARE THEY GOING TO GET EVERYTHING THEY NEED? MARGARET BUXTON WITH IOWA SCHOOL FINANCE INFORMATION SERVICES SAYS THE NATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF EDUCATION PROGRESS, OR THE NAEP TEST MIGHT PLAY A KEY ROLE IN THOSE RANKINGS. IT'S THE SAME TEST GIVEN OUT EVERY TWO YEARS TO FOURTH AND EIGHTH GRADERS IN EVERY STATE. SO IN THE 1990S, IOWA WAS RANKED IN THE TOP FIVE IN JUST ABOUT EVERY COMPARISON OF READING AND MATH SCORES ON THE NAPE TEST. BUT THE MOST RECENT DATA SHOWS THAT BY 2019, IOWA FELL TO THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK. BUT IT'S INTERESTING. IOWA STUDENTS ARE TESTING SLIGHTLY BETTER ON THEIR SCORES THAN THEY DID IN THE NINETIES. IT'S NOT THAT OUR OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. IT'S THAT OTHERS HAVE IMPROVED. AND WE'RE NOT STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT LEAD DIFFERENT THAN ABOUT 15 STATES IN THAT MIDDLE OF THE PACK. SHE SAYS IOWA CAN LEARN FROM STATES THAT HAVE RISEN UP IN THE RANKS MASSIVE CHEEZ-ITS ADDED ANOTHER 40 HOURS OF INSTRUCTION FOR LOW INCOME KIDS, AND FLORIDA ADDED A PROGRAM FOR READING ACHIEVEMENT TO IMPROVE TEACHING. THAT WAS STATEWIDE. BUT SHE ALSO SAYS IT'S NOT ALWAYS AN APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISON. FOR EXAMPLE, SHE SAYS FLORIDA'S SCHOOL CHOICE PROGRAM ALLOWED MORE STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES TO GO TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS, WHICH DON'T TAKE THE NAPE TEST. FLORIDA ALSO HOLDS BACK THIRD GRADERS WHO AREN'T PROFICIENT IN READING IN IOWA. IF WE TOOK A LARGE NUMBER OF OUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND THEY WEREN'T TESTED IN OUR SCORES AND WE TOOK STUDENTS WHO WEREN'T PROFICIENT IN READING YET IN THIRD GRADE, OUT OF THE FOURTH GRADE, TESTING, WE'D PROBABLY BE NUMBER ONE IN THE NATION AGAIN. OTHER METRICS SHOW IOWA IS EXCELLING. IOWA'S HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATE IS THE HIGHEST IN THE COUNTRY. AND LOOKING AT A.C.T. SCORES, THE TEST FOR COLLEGE ADMISSIONS. IOWA'S IN THE TOP THREE OF STATES. THAT TEST MORE THAN HALF OF THEIR STUDENTS. SO WHEN IT COMES TO UNDERSTANDING HOW IOWA'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE DOING, BUXTON SAYS IT'S TRICKY. BUT SHE ENCOURAGES PARENTS TO LOOK BEYOND THE RANKINGS. IT'S REALLY COMPLICATED TO ANSWER, RIGHT? I THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE A STEP BACK, TAKE A BREATH AND THINK ABOUT WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE FOR OUR KIDS AND HOW DO WE KNOW THAT WE'RE SUPPORTING THOSE AS A FAMILY, AS A COMMUNITY, AND AS A STATE. NOW, ANOTHER THING TO LOOK AT, IOWA IS FALLING BEHIND AND HOW MUCH WE SPEND TO EDUCATE EACH STUDENT. THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS SHOWS THAT IN THE 1970S, IN THE 1980S, IOWA SPENT MORE PER STUDENT THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. BUT BY 1990, IOWA WAS MORE THAN $450 BELOW THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. TODAY, THAT'S GONE UP BY ALMOST 3%. WE'RE NOW MOR
When Iowans consider what the Hawkeye state is most known for, the Iowa caucuses, corn and pork production and the Iowa State Fair may come to mind. But historians say many Iowans put education at the top of that list as well. "The education system in Iowa has always been something that Iowans have been proud of," said Leo Landis, state curator at the State Historical Society of Iowa. "Our history of education is really rich and it goes back to the 1850s. Iowa was pretty early in creating a system of free public schools."Parents strolling through the State Historical Museum on a Friday summer afternoon agreed. "I think we've always had a really proud tradition of education in Iowa," said Des Moines mom Marcy Luft. And Urbandale mom Sarah Harvey agreed. "I think it's something that we take pride in and something we've taken pride in for a long time," said Luft.That pride even made its way onto Iowa's state quarter, which was created in 2004. The words "Foundation in Education" are printed on every coin."Even almost 20 years ago, as Iowans were looking at what do we want people using United States currency to know about our state, you remind people that what our state prides itself in is education," Landis said. But has Iowa's top-tier reputation changed? Harvey, who's also an Iowa teacher, says yes. "There's been a shift over the last few years," Harvey said. "But as teachers, we're hopeful that the community can continue to take pride in the school systems."If you go online and search "Best states for education," you'll find several national organizations ranking states by Pre-K-12th grade. World Population Review ranks Iowa at no. 13, Wallet Hub puts Iowa at no. 19, and US News and World Report, one of the most well-known organizations for education rankings, lists Iowa at no. 24.Margaret Buckton with Iowa School Finance Information Services says the National Assessment of Education Progress test might play a key role in those rankings. It's the same test given out every two years to fourth and eighth-grade students in every state."In the 1990s, Iowa was ranked in the top five in just about every comparison of reading and math scores on the NAEP test," Buckton said. But the most recent NAEP data shows that by 2019, Iowa fell to the middle of the pack."It's interesting. Iowa students are testing slightly better on their scores than they did in the 90s," Buckton explained. "It's not that our education system has gotten worse. It's that others have improved and we're not statistically significantly different than about 15 states in that middle of the pack."She says Iowa can learn from states that have risen up in the ranks."Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York were all in the bottom half back in the 90s. They implemented statewide standards and high expectations and then also funded things like teacher training," she said. "They have formulas that provide resources to public schools that recognize poverty, because it may take a little bit more to provide everything that low-income students need and then they add more time for instruction. They also have slightly lower class sizes than we do in Iowa."But she also said it's not always an apples-to-apples comparison when looking at NAEP scores. For example, she said after Florida implemented a school choice program, more students with disabilities moved to private schools which don't take the NAEP test. Florida also holds back third graders who aren't proficient in reading."Florida moved up in the ranks, but is that really reflective of how all of their kids are doing? And because NAEP doesn't test in private schools, it's not," Buckton said. Other metrics show Iowa is excelling. Iowa's high school graduation rate is the highest in the country. Iowa is also in the top three states that test more than half their students on the ACT test, the exam students often take for college admissions.But Iowa is falling behind when it comes to how much the state spends to educate each student. According to the National Center for Education statistics, Iowa spent more per pupil than the national average in the 1970s and 1980s. But by 1990, Iowa was $453 below the national average. By 2018-19, the most recent data, that shortfall grew to $1,254. When comes to evaluating how Iowa public schools are doing, Buckton says it's not black and white. She encourages parents to get involved with their child's school and to look beyond the rankings. "It's really complicated to answer, right? I think that people should take a step back, take a breath, and think about what opportunities are there for our kids and how do we know that we're supporting those as a family, as a community and as a state," she said.

Q: Finite-by-torsion-free abelian groups (or compact abelian groups with finitely many components) Here's a question I should know the answer to but don't:

Suppose $1\to F \to G \to G/F \to 1$ is a short exact sequence of abelian groups with $F$ finite and $G/F$ torsion-free. Must the sequence split?

This is not true if you merely assume that $F$ is torsion. A counterexample is given by YCor here: https://mathoverflow.net/a/314536/20598.
Equivalently, suppose $G$ is a compact abelian group with finitely many components. Then does $G_0 \to G \to G/G_0$ split? This is not true without assuming there are finitely many components, as YCor's example shows, and it's also not true for nonabelian groups, as Max's answer here shows: https://math.stackexchange.com/a/954539/23805 (though I think it's true whenever $G/G_0$ is cyclic).

A: Here's a quick homological proof.
Suppose $F$ is finite and $H$ torsion free. Then $F\cong\text{Hom}(F,\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})$, so
$$\text{Ext}^1(H,F)\cong\text{Ext}^1\left(H,\text{Hom}(F,\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})\right)
\cong\text{Hom}\left(\text{Tor}_1(H,F),\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}\right),
$$
which is zero since torsion free abelian groups are flat.

ICE grants 1-year stay to father of 5-year-old battling leukemia
By Leinz Vales, CNN
Published 2:00 AM EST, Tue February 13, 2018
Immigrant granted stay of deportation threat
An undocumented immigrant who took refuge in a Phoenix church and whose son has leukemia was relieved Monday after finding out that he won't be deported.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement granted Jesus Armando Berrones-Balderas a one-year stay of deportation on a humanitarian basis.
Berrones, 30, told CNN's Don Lemon on "CNN Tonight" that he felt "happy" upon hearing the news that he would be able to stay in the United States and obtain a work permit.
His lawyer, Garrett Wilkes told Lemon that Berrones had regular check-ins with ICE every six months until December, when he was told that he would be deported in January.
Wilkes said he filed the necessary paperwork for a stay of removal, but "last Thursday, the 8th, ICE informed me it was being denied."
"We couldn't get any feedback as to why it was being denied. The only response we were getting was no comment," he said.
'Dreamer' twins, hoping to enter the military, will either get deployed or deported
Berrones, who lives in Arizona with his pregnant wife and five children, was eventually forced to seek refuge in a Phoenix church in order to avoid deportation.
Wilkes added that through multiple communications with ICE and the Mexican consulate, they were able to provide additional documentation, which they believed led to the reversal of their decision to not deport Berrones.
"In an exercise of discretion, ICE has granted Jesus Armando Berrones-Balderas a one-year stay of removal on humanitarian grounds," ICE said in a statement Monday. "ICE issued a previous one-year stay in June 2016. Berrones-Balderas, who has received a final order of removal, remains enrolled in the agency's Alternatives to Detention program, which requires him to regularly check-in with the local ICE office."
Berrones was brought to the United States when was a baby by his parents from Mexico in 1989, according to reports.

Republican leaders say Senate immigration debate may end Thursday
Lemon asked Wilkes why Berrones was not elgible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provided undocumented immigrants who were brought to the US as children protection from deportation.
"The main reason is because of two removals that he has from the country," Wilkes said. "Even though he's graduated from high school, he's lived here his whole life, those two removals that happened after he turned 18 is what keeps him from benefiting from that."

Berrones' story has gained national attention primarily because his 5-year-old son is battling leukemia.
He told Lemon that his son welcomes the news of his stay.
"He's actually happy because he knows now that I'm going to be able to go home now and be with my whole family at home," said Berrones.

I just read an old book written in 1961, before I was born. It sold over 2 million copies back then and is interesting because it was prescient but also quaint. In those days obesity was a whopping 20% of American adults. Thirty-six percent today.
Since obesity is mostly a genetic problem, CRISPR could be the cure. If you haven't heard of CRISPR prepare to be amazed.
The book seems to be mostly written by Professor Doudna one of the pioneers of the nature and uses of CRISPR systems who will probably participate in a Nobel Prize for this work and who stands to make a lot of money.
Among those interesting questions is the 8th, "Why are we all so fat... and does it really matter?" Micheal Hanlon is a British science writer so he uses a lot of funny words like "boffins" and "over-egging" and "spoiling the pudding" and "fine fettle."

Hi there, thanks for sharing this.
What is a good centralized area to stay in?
Thank you for sharing the links! We will be travelling as a couple and are planning to spend 2 nights in the Chianti area in May where we will explore wineries,Siena & San Gimi during the day, and then head to Cinque Terre after. Would you recommend a particular area we should spend the nights in?
We are still deciding if we should rent a car or rely on...tours or bus? Leaning towards getting a car but I dont think it is advisable to drive to CT so will need to figure that out.
A few things to consider, for the type of days trips you are considering (wine, Siena & San Gim) and then moving over to CT - then I suggest you look in the area of Casold d'Elsa, Colle val d'Elsa, Poggibonsi, San Donato or even San Gimignano.
Late September should already put you in low season - or mid season, so you will find the prices are already pretty reasonable. And if the last few years are anything to go on, you will find that there shouldn't be too many surprises with heating because we have been experience lovely weather all the way into October.
I just recently visited Casa Podere Monti which you might like.


Each small steps lead us to explore and continue the JooSoap eco-soap journey. Toward a sustainable world.
Winter time....snowing and freezing outside. We moved from garage to an inside display area in room Puuhama at Aalto Design Factory. Take a piece of Aalto University away with you! Some eco-soaps are given away, gratefully with feedback in return.
During Aalto Eco-campus project in the Creative Sustainability master's program course at Aalto University, Ying-Ju first time mentioned this eco-soap knowledge in the class. Since no one in the class heard this before but wanna see how it works, Ying-Ju decide to have a tryout of making some eco-soaps from campus resources.
"JooSoap" was initiated in another Creative Sustainability master's program courses: "How to Change the World" at Aalto University. Inspired by Ying-Ju's story about the impactful community eco-soap making movement happening in her home town, the students was keen to apply this idea to Finland. All together, Ying-Ju Lin, Otto Pekande and Kartriina Talja started to operate JooSoap workshops in Design Factory and received positive feedback from participants. With support from Taiwan Maple community's 16- year experience. The operation of JooSoap was recreated, redesigned in order to adapt for Finnish context for sharing this eco-soap knowledge.

Fornaroli hungry ahead of City Cup opener
By Ben McKay
Bruna Fornaroli. (AAP)
Bruno Fornaroli doesn't know whether Melbourne City's squad improves on that of last season but says the A-League club want to win everything anyway.
City kick off their season on Tuesday at Brisbane's Dolphin Oval in the FFA Cup.
The round of 32 clash pits the reigning Cup champions against local side Peninsula Power.
"I want to play and I can't wait," Fornaroli told AAP.
Fornaroli's enthusiasm stands in contrast to the last time he was seen in a City shirt.
He was understandably frustrated, even furious, at his side's exit from the A-League finals.
Fornaroli couldn't bring himself to discuss the 2-0 home loss to Perth Glory publicly before heading on holidays.
"I don't like to lose. I didn't like it," Fornaroli said.
"Last year everyone said it was a bad season.
"But when you go home for holidays and start to think, 'well we won the FFA Cup' and that's not easy."
Three months on from that A-League meltdown, he's made peace with the result but doesn't want to see a repeat.
"Of course we want to win everything but sometimes you need time," he said.
"I'm very competitive. I'm hungry.
"I don't like to go on holidays early.
"I'm back and I'm here to win the league and to win the cup.
"This is what I want."
Under new coach Warren Joyce, City have made promising moves in the transfer market.
Goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic has arrived from Adelaide United for retired Dane Thomas Sorensen.
Scott Jamieson will fill the boots left by Josh Rose, Iacopo La Rocca strengthens a defence that has lost Ivan Franjic, while the return of Stefan Mauk is an improvement on long-serving utility Paulo Retre.
Departed Argentinian Nicolas Colazo means Joyce still has a valuable marquee spot available.
Given City's riches, that could mean a player of superb quality.
"I don't know if we are stronger or if more are coming but at the moment we have a very good group," Fornaroli said.
"If someone comes to help us, great, fantastic."
Fornaroli helped unveil the club's new home kit this week -- a sky blue shirt previously resisted by A-League opponents Sydney FC.
Club owners City Football Group won the argument to change the club's colours to "City Blue" in line with sister clubs Manchester City and New York City.
Fornaroli, a proud Uruguayan, said he was most pleased it resembled his national team shirt.
"For me, it's beautiful. Perfect," he said.
"It's like the 'celeste', like family.
"I love it."

Thanks to the E Mail Manager, in–built within the Hepsia Web Control Panel you will be able to quickly and efficiently take care of all of your mailboxes, regardless of how many web sites you have. You can quickly filter e–mail accounts, enable anti–spam, set e–mail forwarding with simply a click of your computer mouse and make filters for one's mailboxes. On account of our auto–configure scripts, it is possible to quickly configure your mail client to function with every e–mail address you have. And that is just a little part of what our E Mail Manager will help you with.
Through the E Mail Manager of the Web Control Panel, it is simple to take control of junk mail messages. The included anti–spam tool will filter inbound e–mails and you can now customize its degree of control with a click of the mouse. It's also possible to identify a distinct amount of spam security for every e–mail account.
There are two basic ways in which our system manages messages flagged as spam. You can pick if a spam email needs to be deleted, or forwarded to a selected mailbox.
Email forwarding is probably the most used tools inside the E Mail Manager that's why we have tried our best so, it will be as elementary as possible. Everything you should complete is actually pick the email which you want to make use of and specify the mail where you would like the incoming messages to get forwarded to.
Furthermore, you can pick if the forwarded mailbox should also maintain the emails, or, if, perhaps they have to be wiped right after they are forwarded.
Email filters are a tool you can actually apply. They operate in a simple way according to keyword phrases. All you have to do is identify the key words that you want the filter to apply and exactly which area of the e–mail account all these key phrases need to be found in for example subject line, message body, footer, etcetera.
One way you can use electronic mail filters is to reroute all junk email messages to some pre–specified folder. Then you could likewise specify whether you'd like the filtered emails to be saved in the directory (so that you can determine if some message is delivered there by mistake), or to be deleted.
Protection is among Speedy Mice's leading concerns. And this includes your e–mails. All of the email accounts are shielded automatically by DomainKeys, a service also used by AOL, Google and Yahoo. It represents a straightforward method to associate the sender's domain name using the email message.
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection is a service that has an affect on pretty much all mail accounts for a specified domain name. It serves to stop 'email forging' – in other words mailing emails from a email address not created within your server.
When you check your email account from your laptop computer or PC, it is likely that you use an e–mail client. To save you the hassle of having to manually add each new email in your mail client, we've designed smart 'auto–configure' files. Simply get hold of the file and open it up with the mail application – this will quickly create your inbox in your chosen desktop client.
In the event you don't have access to an email client, you can quickly go through your e–mail through the webmail client – Roundcube. There is just one web link you need to recall, and you can visit it using any kind of web–connected gadget from any location!
You may also instantly sign in from your Web Control Panel, without the need to provide any kind of e–mail login data.

Conductor Gilbert's Sensitive Control Emphasizes BSO's Music-playing
by Mark DeVoto
March 15, 2009 March 12, 2009 by Mark DeVoto
New Yorkers can look forward joyfully to Alan Gilbert's accession to the podium of the New York Philharmonic, but Boston was favored this past week. I was very impressed with his visit to the Boston Symphony (I attended on March 10), a group he already knows well from his years in the audience as a student at Harvard. He exhibits the highest degree of sensitive control, expressiveness, good taste, and communication to the orchestra, much like his predecessors, Bernstein and Mehta, but without their ostentation and theatricality. He draws attention to the music, not to himself, and to the different regions of the orchestra outlining their roles in the performance, but not to his own coordinating function, which even if it is central never overpowers the concerted whole.
Gilbert chose an unusual opener to the concert, Night Ride and Sunrise by Sibelius (1907), 16 minutes long, which the BSO had not played since 1918. The night ride was obvious enough, with a galoop-galoop dotted rhythm in the strings that never seemed to go anywhere and quickly became tiring. This was succeeded by up-and-down scales in slower woodwind as a background to new melodies in the strings that seemed related to the last movement of Sibelius's Second Symphony. But all this diffuse rambling was swept away when the sunrise arrived in sudden and resplendent brass, very loud but never shrill; I thought of other noble orchestral sunrises from around this time, especially in Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé (1912) and the final section of Schoenberg's Gurrelieder (performed 1913). (The brass at the end of the first movement of Debussy's La mer [1905] isn't quite sunrise, but rather full-bodied sunlight overhead at noon, dispersing the fog.) This has never been among Sibelius's most popular works, but I was glad to get to know it better, and the performance was outstanding.
Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini is more highly structured and formally economical than the title would indicate. It consists of 24 variations, some of them freely expanded into cadenzas, but with an overall layout roughly corresponding to a three-movements-in-one form, fast-slow-fast. The theme from Paganini's 24th Caprice was the springboard for one of Liszt's Grand Etudes, as well as for virtuoso variation sets by Schumann and Brahms and, in our own time, by Lutoslawski; but Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody has always been the best known of all of these, and, of all of his works for piano and orchestra, the most grateful to play. It may not be as popular with the public as the immortal Second Concerto, but neither is it as grandiose and bombastic.
I grew up with a recording of the Rhapsody played by Julius Katchen and the London Philharmonic under Sir Adrian Boult, and I never heard a better one; but Tuesday's performance was certainly of that caliber. Stephen Hough has some of the finest jeu perlé and pianissimo that I have ever heard in person, and there was plenty of both in this splendid performance; the audience jumped to its feet in deserved response.
After the intermission came one of the 20th-century's toughest nuts ever, Charles Ives's Fourth Symphony. Ives never completed this enormous work; he assembled it from miscellaneous sketches and fragments over a period of at least 20 years before 1916 and constantly changed his mind about its fundamental structural conceptions and how he wanted to realize ideas that he may never have fully formulated. The orchestral approach to much of it, particularly the second and fourth movements, was radical, including simultaneous sections in different tempi and meters that required coordination by a second conductor (Ives thought that two sub-conductors would be needed), and it is no wonder that the symphony as a whole did not reach a performable state until 1965, 11 years after Ives's death, when Leopold Stokowski conducted the premiere with the American Symphony Orchestra. The recording they made that year remains historic; the score was published as well, but many, many questions about Ives's intentions still remain unanswered, like his famous chamber piece.
The stage setup was already a challenge. At the rear, in a corner, was a scaffolding supporting several very long tubular bells and a player on an elevated platform; in the opposite rear corner, a chorus of about 25 singers of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus. At the near end of the first balcony, on the right, was a group of two solo violins and harp, Ives's miniature "distant choir." Within the orchestra were two pianos, one an "orchestral piano" played four hands, and a solo piano nearer to the front of the stage. Way off to the left was the organ console, seldom occupied during orchestral concerts as it was last night. In front of the second violins, very close to the conductor, was an electronic setup, a theremin* in fact, with two antennas and a speaker. This device operated only during the second and fourth movements and was never audible except during very quiet passages, and it was probably a valid equivalent of the "ether organ" that Ives occasionally cued into the score.
The first movement, called "Prelude," features the "distant choir" answering loud, ponderous gestures in the main orchestra with an ethereal ostinato that remains "scarcely audible" at the end of the movement; in between the chorus goes through two verses of Lowell Mason's beloved hymn, "Watchman, tell us of the night," in D major, which can be regarded as the symbolic overall tonality of the symphony because the same key closes the fourth movement.
The "Comedy" movement is the most complicated part of the entire score. It was fascinating to hear this pandemonium up close – incredibly loud and shrill, busy with noise in which almost no separate melodic or rhythmic features could be distinguished except occasionally when the ensemble slowed for an instant of breath. I was puzzled, however, by the theremin. I think it was included as a substitute for the ad libitum quarter-tone piano that Ives indicated in the score while several solo strings play "Beulah Land" in a pellucid F-sharp major. This gentle passage lasted not quite all the way through one verse, and then all hell broke loose once again, everything whirling into a titanic fff climax and then abruptly fizzling out into nothingness.
The finale is intellectually the most difficult movement of the entire symphony. The multiple metric and rhythmic relationships in this movement are furiously complex, with different barlines overlapping and tuplet brackets extending over them, at least in the upper parts; the bass line, however, was solid and relatively straightforward, and it seemed to me that the Renaissance tactus might have been the most secure way to beat time in this movement. (Alan Gilbert used a baton in the Sibelius and Rachmaninoff, but omitted it throughout the Ives.)
The Fourth Symphony as a whole is, I think, a magnificent failure, possibly the most magnificent of all of Ives's works, but a failure in the same way, and to much the same degree, as we find in much of Ives's most original, most imaginative music. In the America that brought him to birth and inspired every atom of his life and career, he could not have been, and was not, understood as a composer. Ives knew this as well as anyone, but he lacked the capacity for relentless self-criticism that might have pushed him to follow his own instincts with the technical hard work needed to perfect his vision – nor would that possibly perfected music, in his time, have been any more likely to achieve performance or recognition.
Ives did, in his later years, obtain a measure of respect and even praise, after the premiere of his "Concord" Sonata thirty years after he wrote it, and in his award of the Pulitzer Prize in 1947 for his Third Symphony, composed 1904. In the larger works like the baffling, defective, undeniably wonderful Fourth Symphony, we can discern the outlines, and some of the profound achievements, of one of the most visionary and multifaceted composers of all time, whose work responded as much to the transcendental vibrations of the New England microcosm as to the hidden rhythms of the universe.
*Ed: According to Wikipedia, the theremin, named after its Russian inventor, is an electronic instrument with a controlling section of two metal antennae that sense the position of a player's hands that control radio frequency oscillators with one and volume with the other.

One small clarification: there was a quarter tone piano onstage for the optional quarter-tone piano parts in this BSO performance. (This was an upright placed audience left, alongside the other, four-handed, grand piano. The "solo" grand piano was dead center.) The Theremin was used for the "ether organ" cues that Ives wrote into the score at a later date, and also, ad lib., as sound effects in some places, such as during the violin salon recital near the end of the second movement (playing glissandi), and for doubling the first violins (etc.) elsewhere. The Theremin's placement at the front of the stage had more to do with logistics (electric field logistics!) and its carrying power than with any sense of the instrument as having a solo presence here, although it makes a nice visual effect as well.

This is an erudite and personal review (Rachmaninov with Mahler!}. The beautiful Pag Vars drew the expected eager reception (this on Friday afternoon.) This was the 2nd time we've heard the Ives 4th and were overwhelmed by its mad,exotic and totally commited performance by the BSO playing up to our highest hopes and expectations. Maestro Gilbert and his associate must deserve credit too; but isn't the BSO so great now? It';s also great to have another critical voice in Boston. ms

Vegetarian Lasagna with Spinach, Mushrooms & Soy Crumbles ~ Diane's Vintage Zest!
Did you know it is National Soyfoods Month? Well, it is and I have a couple of recipes for you to celebrate! As you know, I usually cook with lots of veggies and whole foods, so I sometimes end up skimping on the protein. Well, lucky for me there are wonderful swaps with soy foods that bring on the protein, flavor, and nutrition!
I love a beautiful slice of veggie lasagna, but if I'm ever in the mood for a meatier version, I have this recipe to share with you today. The trick is, there is absolutely no meat at all! Don't tell your carnivore friends and family until after they have tasted it, and they'll be totally surprised. Seriously!
In this recipe, I swapped out the typical ground beef for the MorningStar Farms grillers crumbles and it makes the entire recipe even easier and quicker. You don't have to cook it nearly as long as beef requires and it's super convenient to have this on hand in the freezer!
Now, let's get to the recipe!
2. Cook the noodles al dente according to the package directions, drain well, and lay out on waxed paper to prevent sticking.
3. Add the oil to a large nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat.
4. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally until all the liquid has evaporated and they begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the soy crumbles and cook until no longer frozen.
6. Stir in 2 cups of the tomato sauce and simmer for 2 minutes.
7. In a medium bowl combine the ricotta, spinach, egg, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
8. Assemble the lasagna: In the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch baking dish, spread 1 cup of tomato sauce. Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, half the beef-mushroom mixture, a layer of noodles, the remaining cheese mixture, the remaining beef mixture, a layer of noodles, the remaining sauce, then the grated cheeses.
9. Cover loosely with foil. Bake for 45 minutes.
10. Uncover and bake for 15 minutes more.
I really hope you try this recipe out because it is one of my favorite things to serve both vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Also, if you have any vegans in the house, you can always swap out the ricotta for soft tofu plus the egg and remaining cheeses for vegan substitutes. It's amazing!
Next week, I'll have another soy swap recipe for you, but this time it will be for breakfast. Yum! In the meantime, enjoy this lasagna and check out the Soyfoods Association of North America's Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest pages for more recipes and info.
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of the Soyfoods Association of North America.
OMG this lasagna looks absolutely delicious!!!! I am so pinning to try this myself :) yummy!!!
This looks and sounds amazing!! I don't eat meat so I have been using these crumbles for a few years!! What a hearty meal!
Mmm that looks great! I've never actually made lasagna before because it looks a little intimidating :P But if I ever give it a shot I'll try this one!
This is great. I have a friend who is a vegetarian and I never know what to make when we plan dinner together. I will have to try this. Pinning!
This looks so delicious! I love Lasagne!
That sure does look tasty! Thanks for sharing with us at Merry Monday. I did not know it was Soy Foods month! I'll be watching for more good recipes.
This is a great Lasagna that would have great flavor! Hope you are having a great week and thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.

Peter Obi explains how he will handle agitators, tackle security challenges if elected president
byChike Olisah
in Business News, Politics
The Presidential Candidate of the Labour party, Peter Obi, has said that he will negotiate with various agitators nationwide and adopt the carrot and stick approach to stem the tide of increasing crime rate across Nigeria.
The comment by Peter Obi is coming against the backdrop of agitations by groups like the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and Yoruba Nation agitators, among others, who are fighting for self-determination as well as seeking to secede from Nigeria.
This was made known on Sunday night by Obi when he and his running mate Datti Baba-Ahmed featured on 'The People's Townhall' organized by Channels Television and its partners, to discuss their plans for the country if elected.
Obi to sit and discuss with agitators
Obi who hinted at governing by consensus said that he will sit down and discuss with every agitator in the country.
The presidential flagbearer who attributed the situation to a sense of injustice said, "We are in a democratic dispensation; you govern by discussing, you govern by consensus. So, I will sit down and discuss with every agitator without the exception of the name. We must use carrot and stick (approach).''
He argued that agitations are not new and that even at the family level, children, wives, and others do so but believes negotiations are key.
Obi also explained that another way to address the security challenges in the country is through community policing, noting that as far as he is concerned these things start from the communities.
"There is no reason we should not have local, state and federal, and national policing," he said, adding that the constitution will be tweaked to "suit it".
This statement from Peter Obi is coming at a time some groups had accused the Labour party presidential candidate of alleged links with the outlawed group, IPOB, an allegation he has vehemently denied.
Obi during an interview with Channels Television a few months ago dismissed claims that IPOB is a terrorist organization, stating that its members live around him and do not constitute a threat to the country.
The IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who was arrested and repatriated back to Nigeria with the help of INTERPOL in July 2021, has been facing various charges bordering on terrorism instituted by the Federal Government.

Session of 2013 - 2014 Regular Session
Representative Brendan F. Boyle
All House members
In the near future, I will be introducing legislation to amend 2710 of the Pennsylvania Crime Code expanding the offense of ethnic intimidation to include malicious intention against the actual or perceived ancestry, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity of another individual or group of individuals. A crime motivated by hatred towards these protected classes shall be graded one degree higher than already specified in law. A summary offense shall be graded as a misdemeanor of the third degree. The offense of ethnic intimidation is already defined to include malicious intention toward the race, color, religion or national origin of an individual or group of individuals.
As you may know, Pennsylvania's hate crimes law had protected individuals based on their actual or perceived ancestry, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity until the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that Act 143 of 2002 was unconstitutional on July 23, 2008, and this language was removed from the Crimes Code. The Court's ruling had nothing to do with the merits of the hate crimes law; rather, the decision finds that the original bill, House Bill 1493, was amended so as to change its original purpose; therefore, the enactment of House Bill 1493, violated Article III Section I of the Pennsylvania Constitution.
Two sessions ago, Rep. Shapiro introduced a similar bill that passed the Judiciary Committee with bipartisan support.
A list of co-sponsors to the previous legislation is below:

While searching around for some related stuff, I came across the Bengali India (bn_IN) Translation for compiz. Gave a hurried look through the file and came across some bits and pieces, which imho may need a relook from the translator/reviewer.
Most of the strings in these files are general terms related to desktop graphics, and can be easily fixed. So if the compiz translators need a hand, then do feel free to holler around here.

Do you think the momentum will continue? Will Microsoft deliver on CEO Steve Ballmer's projections that Vista sales will outpace Windows 95's by a factor of five and double Windows XP's uptake in the first few months that it is available?


Tamar Braxton almost died this week. She has decided to quit "Dancing with the Stars" after a dramatic return to the dance floor on Monday. She was rushed to the ER after dress rehearsal.
Tamar has blood clots in both her lungs and needs to rest. She also canceled her tour dates with KEM.
With a Heavy heart I regret to inform you that my season of #dwts has to come to an end along with the rest of my tour dates with @musicbykem. After yesterday's final #dwts performance I went back to the hospital (after the doctors didn't want me to leave in the first place) only to find out that I don't have pneumonia but something way more serious and that is having several P.E.'s (blood clots in both sides of my lungs) As you all know I will be the first to always encourage anyone to push through any obstacle that comes along one's way. But in this case, my health is my current obstacle. .. And in TRUE #tamartian form I must go about this the exact same way as I would anything else. I woke up to a mirror and saw myself this morning and that makes me the winner because that almost wasn't the case. ????Take care of yourselves… I love you and thank you ALL for your support?? p.s. Big hugs and kisses to my boo @iamvalc for being beyond a friend, brother and the BEST partner EVER????????????????????

Microsoft has recently introduced the first beta of its new stack for building great web sites – WebMatrix. One of the key components of WebMatrix is the ASP.Net Web Pages "Razor" Syntax (or simply: CSHTML) that lets you write C# code inside the HTML markup.
In this post I will show how to create a custom helper to use in your ASP.Net Web Pages with Razor Syntax inside WebMatrix. For the demo I will build a TweetMeme helper that embeds the familiar TweetMeme button.
Create the helper as a Class Library.
Create it as a class and distribute the code.
1. Open Visual Studio 2010, and create a new Class Library that targets .Net Framework 4 called TweetMeme.Helpers.
2. Add a reference to System.Web.dll.
3. Rename the default file (Class1.cs) to a more meaningful name, such as TweetMeme.cs.
4. Rename the class name in that file to TweetMeme, and remove the namespace declaration. You better off without a namespace when using helpers.
7. That's it. The helper is ready to use.
To use a custom helper in WebMatrix that is delivered as an assembly, you simply have to copy that .dll into a bin folder in your site.
1. In WebMatrix, add a bin folder to the root of your site.
2. Copy the output assembly of the helper (from the bin\debug\ folder of the class library you have just created) to the bin folder of the site.
Notice: If you now run your site locally, you with receive a TweetMeme button with a question mark in it. This is just because the url that it points to is a localhost address and not something that can be reached from the outside.
The second approach for creating helpers for WebMatrix is just adding a C# file with the helper class.
1. Inside WebMatrix, add a folder called App_Code to your web site.
2. Into the App_Code folder, add a new C# class to your web site.
3. Use the helper in your code as shown above.
There are 2 approaches for creating Helpers for CSHTML. Creating helpers in class libraries are probably the better way of doing this in the eyes of professional developers, but my guess is that people who build web sites will prefer copying and pasting code samples for helpers to use in the project, and we will have a great community of helpers around the web.

Hey guys Mark Piper and I played a small AWI Regimental Fire and fury game Thursday night. The rules using the play sheet downloaded from the forum played very quickly and smoothly and seemed to make sense throughout. I have played British Grenadier before and I must say that RFF seemed to give the same flvour and feel and I look forward to more games using our combined 40mm collection. Mark owns the Continentals and I own the British, both sides bought for a very price from thatperennial pusher of lead Andrew Parr. Mark and I have lots of unpainted figures so eventually we can do some very large games.
The figures are on very large bases which Andrew used and we like the look of them and will not change the size. Thebases equate to two RFF bases and reepresent 40 men per base.
Great looking table old fruit. You and Mark have played some very nice games. Who won on the day?
British crossed the objective but we were just trying the rules out really.
Hi Scott, I wanted to tag this game whilst overseas but couldn't get it to work.
Anyway great game, let me know when your next ones on and if I can I would love to have a go.
