Sydney: I am from Detroit Michigan, more specifically Lake Orion Michigan which is a suburb about 40 miles north of Detroit. The music scene is very intimate, everyone knows everyone, and we love to travel around to different local venues and perform together.
Sydney: I started musical theater and private vocal lessons when I was five years old, I then started playing guitar and writing my own music, and haven't stopped!
Sydney: When I was 12 or so I began writing and composing my own music, I started to connect with music in a way I hadn't before with covering music. I knew from there I wanted to create my personal voice and sound.
Sydney: Christina Aguilera is my biggest vocal influence, her power, and soul, and the way she perfectly transitions through genres and uses classic jazz influences has always inspired me. I currently love Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, and The Weeknd.
Sydney: I always think of a melody first, and then usually the words just flow, it's hard for me to keep up playing guitar or an instrument when I start singing, I like to record myself at all times, in the car, even in the bathroom at school! I use the voice memos and arrange songs.
Sydney: I would love to collaborate with another female. I love Britney Spears new collaboration with Tinashe. I couldn't just choose one, but it has always been my dream to sing with Christina.
MHB: Lets talk about your latest EP 'Reinvented'... How did it come together and what was the inspiration behind it?
Sydney: I wanted to focus on growing up, and the transition I have had the last four years from age fourteen to eighteen. I was connected with Chris Ganoudis of "Like the Movies" and we wrote and produced this together.
MHB: What would you say your growth has been since your last EP to this latest one?
Sydney: My first EP was strictly teen pop, this EP has may influences such as R&B, electronic, jazz, and Latin flares. I loved incorporating my favorite music styles into something unique to me.
MHB: What can we expect from you in the next few months?
Sydney: I am focusing on writing more music and performing my new EP! I also will be graduating from high school.
MHB: At the end of the day, what is it that you hope people take away from your music?
Sydney: I hope people find comfort and empowerment in my music, but most importantly I want people to enjoy listening to it.
MHB: If you were stuck on an island with only one album forever, which would you choose?
Sydney: I can also speak Spanish, I have always had a passion for it and completed AP Spanish at my high school a few years ago.
MHB: What is the driving force that gets you up every morning?
Sydney: My love for life drives me. I love experiencing everything, music, school, and everyday life. I don't really have a hard time getting up because I try to stay enthusiastic for the day ahead!
Sydney: It is everything, and I think it means a lot to a lot of people. I, like many others, am able to find comfort in music and when I listen to it it immediately changes my mood. I also love hearing peoples life experiences through their music.
Sydney: I want everyone to know that I am extremely thankful for the people who support me and have taken the time to listened to my music!

Grenadier Regiment 916 was an infantry regiment of the Wehrmacht from 1943 until 1945.

It was set up in the area around Saint-Lô and then sent to Omaha Beach in December 1943.

Oberst i.G. Ernst Goth was the commander of Grenadier Regiment 916 (Gren Reg 916) from the beginning to the end around 29 July 1944 in the Saint-Lô area where the whole 352nd Infantry Division was deactivated.

Gren Reg 916 was split up in the Omaha Beach area and fought against the United States 29th Infantry Division, 2nd Ranger infantry battalion  and 1st infantry divisions on D-Day. The headquarters of the regiment was located in Trévières. The companies were close to several coastal villages: Vierville, St. Laurent, Colleville-sur-Mer, posted there as second line to counterattack the Allied forces once they landed.

Oberst (Colonel) Goth held the highest rank on the German side on D-Day and personally led counter-attacks to regain ground.

The 916th withdrew on 8 June from the Omaha Beach area and made the retreat to Saint-Lô. Fighting the US divisions with only rifles, machine guns and handgrenades. Very little supply reached the combatants. Soldiers of the Regiment can be found at the German war cemetery at La Cambe German war cemetery in Normandy.

The oldest reenactment group portraying Grenadier Regiment 916 today is known as GR916 in New England.  This group has related units located throughout both the UK and the USA.

Do You Want to Lose Weight? Then Just H2Run It Off!
When you think of typical pool time, you may think of relaxation on a pool deck and hopping in for the occasional lackadaisical float.
However, Brick Bodies' H2Run class is anything but "typical pool time." In fact, it's one of the best workouts you can get! Here's what you need to know about this phenomenal workout, along with a closer look at the benefits — for weight loss and beyond — of jumping into this group fitness class at Brick Bodies.
Part of Brick Bodies' extensive lineup of aquatic fitness classes, H2Run is a deep water class which uses the amplified resistance of water to target the core, arms, and legs. During a deep water workout, participants perform a series of exercises in the pool, which may include everything from interval sprints to jumping jacks. The class may also incorporate tools, such as noodles, foam-based wrist/ankle cuffs, and flotation belts — all aimed at optimizing the impact of this popular water workout.
While many people mistakenly assume that water workouts are "easy," this couldn't be further from the truth. While water is gentle on joints, the workout itself is a powerful one. "The myth is that because water keeps the heart rate lower, you're not working as hard," Cynthia Krafft, president of the Aquatic Professional Association International told The Denver Post. "Research shows the lactic acid levels (a byproduct of exercise) throughout the body are actually higher in the water than on land. When working on land, your resistance is air, and everything is about pushing away from gravity. In the water, everywhere you move, there is resistance against your body, and that resistance is 12 times more than with air," she says.
Who Can Benefit from H2O?
According to Julie See, president of Nokomis, Florida's Aquatic Exercise Association, "Exercising in deep water can be modified to meet almost any goal for any population, from challenging a professional athlete to reducing back pain for a pregnant woman, or improving functional movements for older adults." In other words, just about anyone can put the many benefits of H2Run to work for themselves.
Think swim lessons are just for kids? Think again. Brick Bodies' swim lessons for adults of all ages and abilities can help you become a stronger, more confident swimmer.
We've already addressed the low impact nature of water workouts, but there are also other benefits related to deep water workouts, including boosting circulation, stabilizing the core, and enhancing flexibility by supporting a greater range of motion. Additionally, when integrated into a comprehensive workout routine, H2Run becomes a highly effective cross-training technique.
When it comes to weight loss, research points to the profound benefits of water conditioning. After conducting a study of overweight people and water workouts, scientists at Texas A&M concluded that water-based workouts not only promote calorie burning and the loss of body fat but are also more comfortable to perform than land-based alternatives.

Home > Get involved > What our activists do
FDA reps
Many FDA activists decide to become a representative (a rep).
The role of an FDA rep is wide and varied, from passing on application forms to new starters, to being part of local branch committee feeding back on issues to the union.
In some departments, reps will take part in meetings and negotiations on issues including pay and terms and conditions, while many reps also assist members individually with problems at work.
We want our reps to feel confident in their role as an FDA representative and if you do become a rep you are not left to figure everything out by yourself. The FDA offers training to new reps, who will get support from FDA National Officers and the FDA Organiser as well as guidance from their fellow reps.
FDA branch structure
Branches are responsible for the recruitment of members in their workplace and for representing their views to management and the union's Annual Delegate Conference. Each branch usually has a:
The branch convenor takes the chair at branch meetings and, with the secretary, is responsible for the conduct of branch business.
The convenor will advise on when to hold meetings of all members and to ensure that regular contact is maintained between branch committee members. There is also a role in ensuring that no one branch officer is carrying too heavy a load.
The branch secretary is the first point of contact for members and FDA head office. Branch secretaries are responsible for organising the branch Annual General Meeting (AGM) and keeping minutes of meetings.
The role of membership secretary is crucial to the organisation of the branch. Two-way communication between the officer and head office is encouraged, to ensure all membership records are up to date.
Branch Committee
Many branches have a small committee which meets every few months and acts as a sounding board for the Convenor and Secretary as well as providing practical support for members in the branch. This is often the first role a local rep will take up while they learn more about the FDA and the work of representatives.

Helping patients feel better is a huge part of being a physical therapist assistant. Carrington College Physical Therapist Assistant  graduates working at Archstone Care Center share what a typical day is like.
"We're all about functional exercise so (on a typical day I help patients with) squats, sit to stand transfers, we do balance training, any kind of neuromuscular re-education," said Carrington College graduate Armando.
"We work with patients who are just recovering from a stroke to patients who are struggling with dementia or just rehabilitating from different broken bones," said Carrington College graduate Destiny.
"At this facility, we do generally get mostly elderly residents who have had a total hip replacement or a heart attack or a stroke," said Jessica, Director of Rehab at Archstone Care Center.
"Having a sports background and a military background I've been through physical therapy myself. I always had a good experience and I like to help other people. Each person responds to different treatments differently. Some might heal a little slower, some might get stronger faster, some might be able to use different parts of their bodies to help recover," Armando said.
"The best part is at the end when somebody goes from barely being able to do anything to walking out of here and going home," Destiny said.
"I'm kind of a run and gun therapist. I want them to know the material, know what to do or learn quickly. And I saw that in Carrington students," Jessica said.

Q: Regex to match C integer literals I would like to use egrep/grep -E to print out the lines in C source files that contain integer literals (as described here). The following works for the most part, except it matches floats too:
egrep '\b[0-9]+' *.c

Any suggestions for how to fix this?

A: You can use negative Lookarounds to make sure the number isn't followed by or preceded by a .:
\b(?<!\.)[0-9]+(?!\.)\b

Edit:
Since you want to only match the 0 of 0x in hex literals as you mentioned in the comments, use the following pattern instead. It works exactly like your original regex except that it doesn't match float numbers.
\b(?<!\.)[0-9]+(?![\.\d])

Try it online.
References:

*

*Regular expressions: Lookahead and Lookbehind

A: I would not try to overoptimize a pattern like this and just convert each integer literal type and the possible suffixes literally into a regex with alternations:
(?i)(?:0x(?:[0-9a-f]+(?:'?[0-9a-f]+)*)|0b(?:[10]+(?:'?[10]+)*)|\d+(?:'?\d+)*)(?:ull|ll|ul|l|u)?

Only the digit separators require some more work: a separator cannot be followed by another separator and can only appear between numbers.
Suffixes are allowed for hex and binary too, as tested with C++14 here.
Demo
Note: The pattern is designed to be case-insensitive.
Run it like this: egrep -ei "(?:0x(?:[0-9a-f]+(?:'?[0-9a-f]+)*)|0b(?:[10]+(?:'?[10]+)*)|\d+(?:'?\d+)*)(?:ull|ll|ul|l|u)?" input.txt
PS: If you just want to extract the values a Perl script could come handy:
use strict;
my $file = '/some/where/input.txt';
my $regex = qr/(?:0x(?:[0-9a-f]+(?:'?[0-9a-f]+)*)|0b(?:[10]+(?:'?[10]+)*)|\d+(?:'?\d+)*)(?:ull|ll|ul|l|u)?/ip;
open my $input, '<', $file or die "can't open $file: $!";
while (<$input>) {
    chomp;
    while ($_ =~ /($regex)/g) {
      print "${^MATCH}\n";
    }
}
close $input or die "can't close $file: $!";

Homosexuality and Islam FAQ
By Abu Hadi, May 5, 2017 in Social/Family/Personal
Abu Hadi 8,757
Forum Administrators
Location: Dearborn, Michigan, United States
Q: Does Islam teach that it is the right or duty of a muslim to kill, harm, abuse or discriminate against someone who is homosexual ?
While some people who call themselves muslim do this, it is not a teaching of Islam. Islam teaching that we live within a system of laws and norms and these laws and norms must be followed. Islam also teaches that every person in a society has the right to live in peace and security of their person and their possessions unless that person is actively involved in severe oppression of others in the society. The religion, race, gender, thoughts, philosophy, political stands, etc, do not matter in regards to this right as this is a basic right of all people who live in a society or community.
Q: Does Islam prohibit relationships between people of the same sex / gender.
A: Islam prohibits sexual acts or intimate acts normally only done between husband and wife to be done between people of the same sex / gender. The prohibition does not extend to other, non sexual acts such as hugging, holding hands, etc.
Q: What is the penalty, in an Islamic Government System, for committing a homosexual act.
A: The penalty is death, however, in order for the penalty to be carried out, the act must meet ALL of the following conditions.
1. The act must be eye-witnessed by four just witnesses, people known in the community as being honest and of good character.
2. The four witnesses must witness the act of penetration.
3. The act must take place under the jurisdiction of an Islamic Government.
4. There must be a trial and sentence must be pronounced by an Islamic Jurist (judge)
5. The penalty must be administered by an Islamic Jurist (judge).
If any of these conditions are not present, the penalty cannot be carried out and the person cannot be harmed in any way.
Q: If that is the case, and muslims are not allowed to discriminate against homosexuals, then why is there so much beating, killings, discrimination, etc happening to homosexuals in muslim countries.
A: There are several parts to this questions which must be answered separately.
First, there is a difference between discriminating against a person because of suspicion that the person might be homosexual, and challenging the ideas of a person who is openly advocating for pushing the 'gay lifestyle' agenda in muslim countries.
On an individual level, and based on suspicion, muslims are not allowed to discriminate against or abuse a person. For example if a man has a high voice, wears feminine cloths, attends musicals, etc, noone is allowed to do anything to that person. That is thulm, injustice. There is a chance the person is not a homosexual but simply effeminate, or if they are homosexual and are engaging in the acts in private, people can advise them and try to guide them back to the 'strait path' of religion, but are not allowed to abuse them in the process.
If a person is openly advocating for the 'gay lifestyle' and is attempting to pull youth or others into practicing this lifestyle, that is a different story. Most of the cases of human rights abuses against homosexuals in muslim countries fall into this category. If this advocating for the gay lifestyle is limited to talking and discussing, then we as muslims are obliged to respond in the same way, with only talking and discussing. If the person goes beyond this, and starts to use tactics or do actions which are illegal in the country or community, then the community has the right to enforce the laws as they apply to these actions. Sometimes the society overreacts or under reacts and this is mostly due to ignorance and hasty judgements, i.e. judgements without all the facts and this is obviously discouraged in Islam. Islam does not encourage vigilantism or mob rule mentality, but also does not encourage pacifism in the face of actions which are imminent threats to the cohesion and tranquility of the community.
As there is a current scheme by certain groups in Western Countries to attempt to 'normalize' homosexuality withing the muslim community, we should be aware of these groups and their actions and attempt to counter their actions with knowledge, prudence, and justice.
Q: Can you be gay and be a muslim / a
A: It depends on what you mean by 'gay'
If by 'gay' you mean that you are actively in a sexual relationship with someone who is of the same sex / gender AND you are making no attempt to end the relationship and repent to Allah(s.w.a) for your sins, then the answer is no.
The word 'Islam' means submission to the will of Allah(s.w.a). The word muslim means 'a person who is in the active state of submitting to the will of Allah(s.w.a)' . So by actively and persistently not 'submitting' by refusing to follow the prohibition against being in a sexual relationship with someone of the same sex / gender, you are considered as a fasiq, someone who is actively sinning and not seeking repentance. Someone cannot be 'submitting' and 'not submitting' at the same time. You are either in one state or the other.
To be a muslim, you must accept that 'There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah'. By logical extension, you must accept the entirety of the message that was brought by Prophet Muhammad(p.b.u.h) including the prohibition against a sexual relationship between those of the same sex / gender, and attempt, however imperfectly, to follow the entirety of this message. To openly reject any part of the Message of Prophet Muhammad(p.b.u.h), means you reject the entirety of the Message, and are therefore not a muslim, in fact.
On the other hand, if someone is actively engaged in homosexual acts, but considers this a sin, and is trying to stop the act and repent, then this person is a muslim, and as long as they consider the act as a sin and attempt to stop, then Allah(s.w.a) will give them the strength and the courage, eventually to stop and amend their life.

Depends on what you mean by abuse and discriminate. Certainly the treatment of a fasiq is not the same treatment at that of a adil. For example, when it comes to testimony for divorce, sighting of the moon, and many other testimonies, the testimony of a fasiq is not taken. Also, one shouldn't pray behind a fasiq.
As for abuse, if you mean that the people shouldn't try to tell him what he is doing is wrong then you are wrong too.

Not really, but your choice.
Abuse means beating, threatening them with bodily harm, defrauding them, stealing from them, etc. Doing something to them which will harm them in a real way. Repeatedly telling them is not abuse.
Also, in the Islamic definition fasiq does not translate as 'sinner'. If fasiq was 'sinner', then we are all fasiq because all of us have committed sins. Fasiq, there is no word to word translation, but it basically means someone who does a sin openly and denies the fact that it is a sin and doesn't ask Allah(s.w.a) for forgiveness for the sin.

If you know somebody is a sinner (say you caught him with your eye), you can't take his testimony for the aforementioned stuff. Doesn't mean you can expose his sin, you can keep it to yourself, but be wary of those rulings because they still apply.
1 hour ago, Abu Hadi said:
Verbal harassment is abusive and can cause a lot of harm and it does affect people in a "real" way. Teen suicides due to bullying are usually due to verbal abuse (Also, gay youth are 4 times more likely to commit suicide than other youth). Most husband abuse is verbal based. Verbal abuse is very powerful and very real.

This just seems contradictory.
We wont discriminate against you because youre homosexual, but know that if you have a homosexual relationship, legally, we may have you killed. But dont worry, we wont discriminate against you.
I wonder what laws there are that may lead to heterosexual couples being killed. Would they too, be killed if seen having sex?

I'm sure if they are in a place where four sane and just people see them in the act, they'd be arrested for indecency in a secular state whether married or not. I don't think the penalty is death, but I also don't think most people want to have intimate relations in public, regardless of their orientation. It actually ends up being irrelevant.

The OP says the penalty is death. Would a heterosexual couple, also be put to death for the same?
Haydar Husayn 9,677
How is it contradictory? His point is that nobody should be discriminated based on their inclinations, but obviously if it is proven that they have broken the law, then there are consequences.
Yes, if they were both committing adultery.
notme reacted to this
@iCambrian the point is such behavior is not acceptable, however it is also unacceptable to discriminate or abuse a person on the basis of suspicion, and also the Everyman Muslim on the street doesn't have authority to apply legal punishments even if four reliable witnesses saw the act. Like all criminal behaviors, it has to go to court and a judge has the authority to apply, reduce, or suspend the penalty.
Same would apply to adultery or fornication. Married people in public would have a different penalty but I have no idea what it is.
10 minutes ago, Haydar Husayn said:
Ah I see, so it turns to the question of what a legal marriage is.
3 minutes ago, notme said:
it then would be a question of if it is discrimination, if gays cannot be married. We went into this in other topics. I would say that it is.
The topic has turned from... well heterosexuals would also be killed as well, if they too were not married. As if the question of if theyre married, is a larger question than if theyre gay.
If there were really equality and were not forms of discrimination, this topic wouldnt even exist to begin with.
Anyway, ill let this topic go. There are better things to do than beat a dead horse. Its like trying to paddle upstream, debating homosexuality on a muslim forum.

If there is an anal test wich show that there were an act of sodomization do we really need all these conditions ? Because when they hang homosexuals in Iran i am not sure they follow all these conditions.

Q: Keep jQuery UI Accordion content active based on navigation decisions I have a navigational menu that uses the jQuery UI accordion. I have a script that says apply class style active to the li a.
            $(".secondaryMenu a").each(function() {
                if (this.href == window.location.href) {
                        $(this).addClass("active");
                    }
                    });

I want to say any accordion panel that has this class applied then content panel stay active on that page, that way a user clicks on the link and goes to another page the panel will stay active with the navigation visible. Because I did not need to place the pages in different directories I was hoping I could just use the the active class because if a user clicks on it then that is the page and section they will be under anyways.

        $(function() {
                  $( "#accordion3" ).accordion({
                    navigation: true,
                    collapsible: true,
                    heightStyle: "content",
                    header:'.accHeader',
                    icons:  {header: 'acc-plus', activeHeader: 'acc-minus', },
                    active: $("#accordion3 .accHeader ul li a").hasClass('active')
                                });
                                      $("#accordion3 li a").click(function() {
                    window.location = $(this).attr('href');
               return false;

              });

My question, how can I accomplish the content panel to be active based off if any of the links under the header has the active class applied?
I can think about how to do it, but not really accomplish it. Look for active class applied to link under header if true then keep content active. If false default should be active false.

A: Just use jQuery's parents selector to find the parent and apply the class.
$(".secondaryMenu a").each(function() {
    if (this.href == window.location.href) {
        $(this).addClass("active").parents(".accHeader").addClass("active");
    }
});

I am not sure I understand your question correctly, but if I do, then that should work.

Shakespeare in the Park is one of New York City's most beloved summer traditions. New York natives and visitors alike have been enjoying free Shakespeare since performances began in 1954. Now 50 years after the opening of Shakespeare in the Park's permanent home at the Delacorte Theater on June 18, 1962, The Public Theater continues to produce Shakespeare in the Park.
This summer, Daniel Sullivan, who directed acclaimed productions of All's Well That Ends Well, The Merchant of Venice and Twelfth Night in the Park, will return to direct As You Like It in June with Lily Rabe as Rosalind. The second show of the 50th Anniversary summer season will be Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's beloved musical Into the Woods, directed by Timothy Sheader with co-direction by Liam Steel, beginning performances at the end of July.
Tickets to Shakespeare in the Park are FREE and are distributed, two per person, at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park at 1:00 p.m. the day of the show. Free tickets will also be available through our Virtual Ticketing lottery, available on their website on the day of the show.

Tyne call for WWL
July 18 - Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL), has made its maiden call at the port of Tyne, near Newcastle in the UK, with a shipment from Asia.
WWL ro-ro ship Tristan brought a shipment of construction equipment from Asia on inducement from an existing WWL customer.
Whilst the port is not a regular port of call for WWL, it can be added to the existing WWL Asia to Europe service on inducement.
Steven Harrison, port of Tyne chief operating officer, said: "This has been introduced to meet the demands of plant and heavy equipment manufacturers who wish to move their cargo via the port and brings added connectivity to the Port of Tyne with a new ro-ro service."
Paul Reeves, managing director, Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics UK, said: "WWL's regular ro-ro service from Asia to Europe via the Suez and Panama canals is now enhanced by the possibility of a direct vessel calling to the port of Tyne that is connected to solid inland distribution services to the entire UK market and Ireland thanks to the strong presence and service capabilities of WWL ALS, responsible for the WWL UK inland network services."

Dave Anderson
Dave Anderson has been Principal Bass with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra since 1996, and the Britt Festival Orchestra since 1994. He has performed extensively with many diverse ensembles including the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, Louisville Orchestra, Aspen Festival, Chautauqua (NY) Festival, Colorado Philharmonic (NRO), Colorado Music Festival, the LaSalle Quartet, and as a soloist with Richard Stoltzman, Gene Bertoncini, Nigel Kennedy, Bobby McFerrin, Doc Severinsen and many others. Anderson is an internationally acclaimed composer of orchestral and chamber works, with performances around the world shared on YouTube. His Concerto for Double Bass, Strings & Harp, commissioned and premiered by the Philadelphia Orchestra with Principal Bassist Hal Robinson and Wolfgang Sawallisch conducting. Also a prolific jazz and funk bassist, Anderson has jammed with The Radiators, Walter "Wolfman" Washington, Roy Pope, Darryl Brown, and many other great New Orleans musicians including a killer performance with guitarist Brian Stoltz of the Funky Meters as a main highlight of the French Quarter Festival.
• Commission for chamber work from the New Orleans Musaica Chamber Ensemble
• Several nominations and awards from the Gambit Big Easy Awards for composition and performance
Quintet for Oboe, Clarinet, Violin, Viola & Bass by David Anderson
"Anderson's new work is splendidly fresh and provocative, ingenious in how it distributes material ... the jazzy syncopations and ethnic flavorings reflect a diverse, expertly distilled inspiration. Thoroughly absorbed by yesterday's performance, the piece offered sustained pleasure."
– Andrew Adler, music critic for the Louisville Courier Journal
Concerto for Double Bass, Strings and Harp by David Anderson
" ... thoroughly appealing ... his rich scoring of the orchestra and expansive solo melodies came from a composer exuberantly in love with music."
– Charles Ward, music critic for the Houston Chronicle
" ... a melodious work, whose moods cohere... the thoughtful, the nostalgic, the provocative. Ideas are fertile and cohesive." -Lesley Valdes, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Anderson shows a gift for fashioning readily accessible music from unusual combinations of timbres."
– Thomas May, Washington Post
The Anderson/Easley Project at the Jazz Factory
"This intriguing group consists of former Louisville Orchestra bassist Dave Anderson (now Principal Bass with the LPO in New Orleans) and pedal steel guitarist Dave Easley, with drumming by Steve Tidwell. While steel guitar is not usually associated with jazz, Easley demonstrated both proficiency and inventiveness in a program of mostly original material. Anderson's arco intro to the opening number of the second set (sorry, I didn't hear a title announced) led into a spacey pedal steel segment reminiscent at times of Jerry Garcia's experimental playing on the instrument on his first, self-titled solo album. Anderson also opened the second piece, "Blues for Frank" with an arco introduction, before switching to pizzicato during the ensemble playing; Jaco Pastorius' "Teen Town" was cleverly woven onto this song as well. Other highlights included "12-Tone Hip Bop," dedicated to Charlie Parker and Arnold Schoenberg. Overall, this was a delightful evening of provocative and highly enjoyable music!"

Kids ask smarter and tougher questions. How many of you agree with that?
We were also kids at some point in time. We asked all those smart and tough questions. What happened to us, now? Why are we not asking such smart and tough questions, now? Well, our society trained us nicely to accept things, the way they are.
When we were kids, we had lots of interest to know... lots of curiosity to learn. We asked way too many questions to understand the things around us. However, when we grew up, we STOPPED asking questions and STARTED to make assumptions.
Now... How many of you like to go back to your child hood days? Well, I cannot take you to your child hood days. But I can help you to revive the most important and powerful skill that you had in your child hood - YOUR QUESTIONING SKILL.
In the next 8 minutes, you are going to learn the unlimited potential and power of asking questions.
Have you ever listened to radio? If you carefully observe, many advertisers start with a question. Questions like "Do you want to buy a new home? Are you suffering from bad credit? Do you want to re-finance?" All such questions do a good job in captivating the attention of listeners.
You can use this technique in your speeches too. You can start your speech by asking thoughtful, controversial or challenging questions. By asking a question, you'll get the audience to move to the edge of their seats. They'll eagerly look forward to what you have to say.
Novice sales people tell you "I've got the best product that would solve all your problems. You are going to be the most happiest person in this world after you buy this product". They make these promises, without fully understanding your needs and problems. Expert sales people would first try to understand the customer's needs by asking questions.
- Whom are you buying this ring for?
- What is the price range you are looking at?
- Do you have preference for any color?
He would then show you the collections that will interest you. Having understood your needs, he will be in a better position to make a sale.
Questioning skills can help in negotiations too. Skillful questioning is the easiest and quickest way to uncover valuable information during negotiations. With practice, you will find yourself asking better questions and gaining increasingly valuable information.
Let me a share a personal experience with you. Few months back, I got a 100$ rebate card from ATT for my new phone purchase. I had used 7$ from it and there was a 93$ balance in the card. I didn't use the card for quite sometime and the card expired. I called the customer support and told them "You should either send me a rebate card with new expiry date or send me a check for the balance". There was a lady on the other side and she said, "Sir! Your card is expired and there is not much that we can do about it. You should've used it before the expiry date".
I, then changed my approach. Instead of commanding her or giving her directions, I asked her "Is there a way by which I can get my money back?" She said, "Can you please hold on for a minute!" and she put me on hold. She came back after a few seconds and told "Sir! I can give you a credit for the balance to your phone account". If I hadn't asked that one question, I would have lost 93 bucks.
If you still don't believe the power of asking questions, you can try it out yourself. Imagine it is a Friday evening. You return back from work and you want to go out for dinner. You are so obsessed about going to a Chinese restaurant. You tell your spouse, "I want to go out for dinner today. Let us go to a Chinese restaurant". Note that - you are making the decision, here. There is a high probability that your spouse might ask "Why Chinese? Why not Mexican?"
Instead, you can ask - "Honey! I love to go to out for dinner with you today. Would you be interested in going to a Chinese Restaurant?" By asking a question, you are letting your spouse to make the decision. There is a great chance that your spouse will tell YES.
The world responds to those who ask. Bible says, "Ask and you shall receive".
A simple "Will you forgive me?" question has saved several relationships. Ask that question to your loved one, the next time you break a promise.
A simple "How can I help you?" question can result in million dollar business deals!! Ask that question, the next time you talk to your potential customer.
A simple "How can I improve?" question can lead you to a world of opportunities. The next time you meet your friend, ask that question.


The patent covers apps that transform a mobile device into a Pointing and Identification Device (PID) that is used to directly point at an item in a show, on a computer, or in the world. The image is uploaded and the app returns a list of items related to the image. The user can then select a specific item from that list. The PID app then provides to the user context/item-sensitive options for acting upon the item, including the option to buy it.
For example, a 3-year old boy is watching a Thomas the Tank engine episode and, upon seeing Gordon the Express Engine, says "Daddy, I want that." His dad pick up his cell phone, points it at the TV screen and clicks. The PID app returns a list of objects on the screen including Gordon. He selects Gordon, then is shown images of wood, metal, and plastic versions of Gordon the Tank Engine ... maybe even an original model used to make the show. Dad clicks on one, then confirms his order and payment information. Vendors can associate their products and services with a particular show or just one scene. The service gets a percent of the sale.

Government Calls For Faster Broadband Speeds
Jason Waterworth 9th April 2015 Blog, News, Broadband
The government has recently issued a response to the Select Committee report on the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. The report called for broadband to have a 10Mbps minimum speed and made a few suggestions for improvement. The report published in February suggested that the Universal Service Commitment (USC) that is currently in place clearly had to be faster.
The response in many ways echoed what had previously been said, and mentions a subsidy for Satellite Broadband, and the prospect of a Universal Service Obligation (USO) of 5Mbps. Plans to assist the roll-out of high-speed 100Mbps services were also recently spoken about in the Chancellor's Budget.
The head of the Country, Land and Business Association (CLA), Henry Robinson, talking about the problems, said: "In our evidence to the Select Committee I highlighted that it is fundamental to achieve a connected countryside for rural businesses and communities to thrive. The Government's response to the Committee's report is a significant step forward for the CLA rural broadband campaign. We are delighted to hear that the Government intends to subsidise the cost of installing superfast broadband solutions in hard-to-reach areas and has confirmed a delivery plan."
He added that he thought that the CLA call for a voucher scheme that would install technologies such as satellite in difficult-to-reach areas was the fairest and most economical way of solving the issues. People and businesses in remote parts of the UK have a right to fast broadband the same as everybody else.
On the critical issue of a 5Mbps USO, the CLA wants the next government to prioritise the problem so that the rural economy does not suffer as super-fast broadband is installed over the rest of the country.
