The title of a 1965 Yardbirds album was "Having a Rave Up," and that's exactly what the band had in Hermosa Beach earlier this month before a couple hundred at the Saint Rocke club, a cozy little place with excellent acoustics and overall sound.
The band that formed in London in 1963 and is still led by drummer Jim McCarty has undergone big personnel changes over the past couple of years. But during the course of 19 songs in 80 minutes, these guys ripped as intensely as any Yardbirds contingent ever.
The Yardbirds were a career-starting British Invasion group for legendary guitarists Eric Clapton (1963-1965), Jeff Beck (1965-1966) and Jimmy Page (1966-1968), each of whom are in the top five of Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Top Guitarists of All Time – Clapton at No. 2, Page at No. 3 and Beck at No. 5.
The latest in the string of killer Yardbirds guitarists is Johnny A (Johnny Antonopoulos), best known for his sever-year stint with J. Geils Band singer Peter Wolf.
His loud, out-front, searing style of playing is more in line with Gypie Mayo, the group's superb lead axeman from 1995-2005, who was an exponent of Page's loud, ripping sound.
Mayo's successor, young Ben King (2005-2014), was proficient as all get-out, but he was a proponent of Beck's thinner sound and that diminished the group's power.
Another important facet is the return of singer John Idan, also the Yardbirds' bassist from the time McCarty and founding bassist-rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja resurrected the group in 1992. A stroke forced Dreja's retirement in 2013. Beck lookalike Idan, who sounds remarkably like original singer Keith Relf, left in 2009, but returned a few months ago.
It is so great to once again catch this band at the peak of their powers as they blast through such classic hits as "Heart Full of Soul," "Shapes of Things," their set-ending "I'm a Man" and especially the psychedelic masterwork, "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago." They also played well connoisseur faves like "Little Games," "The Train Kept a-Rollin' " and "Dazed and Confused," a song Page stole from Jake Holmes and took credit for, yet one which the Yardbirds performed nightly during his time with the group in the late '60s.
It felt like the heyday of British blues-based rock 'n' roll on Saturday night, as the Yardbirds ripped through a high-energy set in front of a roaring crowd in the South Shore Room at Harrah's Lake Tahoe.
New lead guitarist Johnny A. has some mighty big shoes to fill, taking a seat previously occupied by Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page. Fortunately, he was up to the task, tearing through the entire pantheon of blues guitar skills, with feeling.
Massachusetts native Johnny Antonopoulos has collaborated with Delaney & Bonnie, Peter Wolf from the J. Geils Band, Doug Clifford with Creedence Clearwater Revival and Bobby Whitlock with Derek and Dominos. Sporting a quintessential Gibson Les Paul with a cherry sunburst finish, he kept the audience captivated from center stage, wailing, crunching, and shredding his way through the evening. Among other outstanding solos, he put on a solid display of Les Paul's resonance during the driving tune "The Nazz are Blue," plucking a low note and letting it hang for upwards of 20 seconds, the classic warm, over-driven tone pulsing and reverberating off of the high walls of the South Shore Room.
Myke Scavone provided signature blues harmonica, both rhythm and lead, along with backing vocals and a variety of percussion. Scavone's searing tone on "Train Kept a Rolling" and other tunes got cheer after cheer from the crowd, and he and Johnny A. sounded killer when doubling melody lines on harp and guitar, which they did on a number of tunes.
A particular crowd favorite was colorful bassist Kenny Aaronson, who received a number of rousing ovations during the evening. Brooklyn-born Aaronson's resume reads like a who's who of rock and roll. He's played with Johnny Winter, Dave Gilmour, Steve Cropper, Bob Dylan and the supergroup HSAS (Sammy Hagar, Neil Schon, Kenny Aaronson, Michael Shrieve).
Clad in tight black jeans, black short-brimmed hat, and a swashbuckling black jacket, Aaronson brought an aggressive edge to his instrument, often planting his feet in a determined stance and wielding his bass aimed straight out at the audience like a spear. He routinely turned his back on the crowd to jam directly with McCarty, and the music always experienced an immediate uptick in intensity when he did so.
Frontman John Idan, who sang lead on most songs and rocked rhythm guitar on a beautiful honeyburst-colored Les Paul. But onstage, something about him strongly evoked the character David St. Hubbins from classic cult film "Spinal Tap." While his hair is more reminiscent of Nigel Tufnel's, he bears something of a facial resemblance to St. Hubbins and sounded almost exactly like him, particularly when he spoke in between songs. He certainly did not evince the mind-numbing stupidity of the duo, but seemed strikingly similar in appearance and voice. It was pretty awesome.
Idan got a memorable cheer from the crowd when he commented on Lake Tahoe's natural beauty, filling a brief pause between numbers as Aaronson replaced a newly broken "A" string on his bass.
"Tahoe loves you!" a woman shouted back.
And the crowd did indeed.
The Yardbirds have a long and storied history, and were part of the "British Invasion" of bands that broke out of the UK in the 1960s. The blues/rock band split up in 1968 and were inactive for many years until 1992 when founding members Chris Dreja (rhythm guitar) and Jim McCarty (drums) assembled a new version of the band to perform under The Yardbirds banner. The latter-day version of The Yardbirds have gone through numerous lineup changes over the years. Dreja departed The Yardbirds in 2013 due to medical reasons, which left McCarty as the sole original member of the band. While The Yardbirds were once an all-British outfit, the current lineup is four-fifths American with McCarty the Englishman in the band. In addition to McCarty on drums, The Yardbirds are now comprised of John Idan on guitar and lead vocals, Johnny A on guitar, bassist Kenny Aaronson, and Myke Scavone on backing vocals, blues harp, and percussion.
The Yardbirds' latest tour brought them to B.B. King's in New York City on Monday night, November 2nd. Following a well-received 40-minute acoustic set by singer-songwriter Jann Klose, The Yardbirds took the stage and tore right into an absolutely stonking version of "Drinking Muddy Water." The band was firing on all cylinders. McCarty was pounding the drums as if his life depended upon it, the guitars were sharp, and the blues harp howled.
The set was packed with highlights. New lead guitarist Johnny A distinguished himself early on in the show with some scintillating guitar work on "I'm Not Talkin'." Idan and Johnny A played very well off of each other during a terrific take on "Heart Full of Soul" that also featured strong backing vocals from Scavone. The performance of "The Nazz Are Blue" had an incredible twin guitar attack courtesy of Johnny A and Idan as well as soulful blues harp by Scavone. McCarty's drumming on "Mister You're A Better Man Than I" was superb. "I Ain't Got You" was a positively ferocious bit of blues/rock while "Little Games" featured strong drumming from McCarty, pulsating bass by Aaronson, and great percussion work from Scavone. The band then segued right into a storming "Shapes of Things" that had a fantastic lead vocal by Idan, searing lead guitar from Johnny A, and thundering drums by McCarty.
McCarty took on lead-vocal duties for "Back Where I Started," a track that he had recorded in the 1980s while a member of Box of Frogs. In addition to McCarty, that band included original Yardbirds Chris Dreja on guitar and Paul Samwell-Smith on bass. The performance of "Back Where I Started" at B.B. King's was terrific and was highlighted by Johnny A's fretwork and Scavone's blues harp mastery.
The best part of the show was the searing take on "Over Under Sideways Down" that was anchored by Johnny A's topsy-turvy lead-guitar work. A good bit of the crowd shouted "Hey!" on cue when required by the song.
The guitar tandem of Johnny A and Idan was very effective on "Smokestack Lightning," a performance that also featured stellar drumming from McCarty. For "Train Kept A-Rollin'," The Yardbirds were augmented by Jon Paris on second blues harp and co-lead vocal. Paris has a Monday night residency at Lucille's Grill at B.B. King's and was terrific in his moment in the spotlight with The Yardbirds. When the song had concluded, McCarty told the crowd that Paris had been the one that recommended Aaronson to the band when they were looking for a new bassist.
The main set concluded with the triple threat of "For Your Love," "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago," and "Dazed and Confused," a track that The Yardbirds had recorded before Jimmy Page took it to Led Zeppelin with him and turned it into a rock classic. The three songs were a really effective way to end the set, as The Yardbirds kept upping the ante as they delivered explosive performances of the trio of classics. "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago," in particular, was the standout of those three songs, just spectacular.
After leaving the stage briefly, the band returned for a two-song encore of covers that included takes on Sonny Boy Williamson's "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" and Bo Diddley's "I'm A Man." Both were stellar, featuring terrific guitar work, drumming, and wailing blues harp. It was a fitting end to a performance that had been good, loud, and rocking. While most of the players in The Yardbirds have changed over the years, the band's hallmark of top-notch musicianship remains. There are no passengers in this band.
A well deserved welcome was given to John Idan (ex Yardbirds) and his band. It was great to see John back again who once again gave a great performance with a very nice selection of blues, some Elmore James, Otis Rush, Howlin Wolf and for good measure an old Bert Weedon number Guitar Shuffle done in a bluesy style.
I enjoyed Got my Mojo Working done with a funky beat and a Norman Witfield number in particular. John did some excellent solo work on his Gibson Les Paul with lots of variation and tasteful licks. Ian was on the Hammond organ which had that familiar Leslie sound on which he played some very nice solos and fills. Peter on drums was allowed a short drum solo which we all appreciated and Fox on bass demonstrated many styles in fine style. The band were very tight even though they had only recently got back together and they were a joy to listen to and will be welcomed back in the future.
Oldham seems positively chipper, having just been to see the Yardbirds at a local club the night before.
"It was fabulous," he enthuses. "The sound was impeccable. They had little tricks that enhanced already good vocals. And what was most endearing was the singer, who wasn't an original Yard Bird, but when he introduced an old song, he talked as if it were his, as if he were in the original group."
Ein echtes Solo-Album, auf dem jede Note selbst gespielt und eingesungen wird: fürwahr der Wahnwitz (THE FOLLY), für den der gebürtige Detroiter und Wahl-Londoner John Idan sogar die Yardbirds verließ. Das Resultat geriet eindrucksvoll – psychedelisch perlender Soft Rock, nicht meilenweit von Yardbirds-Drummer Jim McCartys Sitting on The Top of Time (2009) entfernt.
Jeder Orgelton, jede Verzahnung akustischer und elektrischer Gitarren wirkt ebenso sorgfältig austariert wie der oft mehrstimmige Gesang, auch dank sensiblem Mixes durch Robin Black, der auch für Cat Stevens und Jethro Tull arbeitete.
Hit-Verdächtiges wie 'Banging My Head on the Wall' firmiert durchaus unter Beat – sowas bildete einst Äther-Futter für Piratensender zwischen Caroline und Veronica. Mit 'Sunny Franziska of the Western World' kommen dazu noch McCartneyeske Violinen ins Spiel. 'No Other' huldigt Lennon. Blues erscheint erst zum Finale – er ist bei dem hier gezeigten Einfallsreichtum eben nur ein Aspekt im Arsenal.
The Yardbird sings on his own – with just a little blues in sight.
If it may come as a surpirse to many that THE YARDBIRDS still exist, much more surprising is the fact that their singer's horizon's much wider than the the legendary band's chosen genre – but then, that was the same with his predecessor, Keith Relf. A great vocalist in his own, here the Detroit-born John Idan goes the whole distance playing every instrument with a delicate help from a string quartet and tells it like it is – or, in the case of "The Ballad Of Myself" – like it was. His sincere delivery and the namechecking of his idols' is disarming but there's no naivete: just listen to the blues and raga aural allusions at the appropriate lyrical places. The ballad of his soul? Idan's voice in "I Began To Realise" is soulful while the arrangement is Latin-tinctured and breezy.
This easiness pervades all the album so even with "We All Belong" John escapes anthemic lures which he surrenders to in Lennonesque "Set Out Before The Sadness Comes", but then Idan follows the George Harrison route in "That's You And Me" with rare elegance, the influences are worn proudly on the sleeve. While the psychedelic chant of "The Kali Yuga's Gettin' Hot", as fantastic as it is, sticks out of context like a soar Sly Stone-shaped thumb, "Banging My Head On The Wall" feeds to the boogie crowd with its jolly piano, and the organ-laden "Five More Nights" has the answer to the blues-asking lot. With so much going on here, John's a revelation.
John Idan has spent a dozen years or more being a Yardbird and been involved in their 'Birdland' album and also the 'Live At BB King's' release, has toured all over the place and helped to ensure that the good name of this most important of 60's guitar bands lives on in the 21st century. Now he has left the band to give himself the opportunity to create his own music and to display to the world his other influences and what else motivates him apart from pumping old school R'n'B.
'The Folly' is his first solo album and shows the breadth of his musical abilities to anyone who thought he might just be a handy bass player who sang too. John recorded, played and produced the album himself and so you get to hear his very skillful guitar playing, some really tasteful and funky Hammond organ playing and he also sings more in his own natural voice rather than having to be mindful of the vocal style of The Yardbirds' late Keith Relf. So one would imagine this has been quite a liberating experience for him. When you give the album a spin, you find that you're in a very different part of John's musical muse. It's on a funky, bright and breezy groove in places and any thoughts that it might be a straight ahead rock or even a straight rythmn and blues record are soon dispelled, there are however some hints of finest west coast influences in the mix.
'The Ballad Of Myself' is a gentle acoustic guitar led opener that builds via string parts and features haunting Hammond passages to accompany an autobiographical lyric. 'I Began to Realise' mixes funky latin grooves with west coast stylings to conjure up a joyful feelgood number, far and away from what one might expect of Mr Idan, but it's all the more better for it's ability to surprise the listener. 'More To This Than We Know' has a cool summery laid back groove, whilst ' Banging My Head On The Wall' has a happy go lucky style with a good singalong chorus to boot. 'Sunny Franziska of the Western World' features a string quartet to great effect and ' When You Were The One' has a tension and moody atmosphere that works really well and is one of the highlights of the album.
The album closes with the bluesy 'A Long Time On This Road' and displays John's tasteful blues guitar playing to great effect. So this is John Idan the solo performer, he had a career before his most blueswailing interlude and now he is at a point where he can be be his own master and go where the muse takes him. If you're looking for a musical link from his recent activities then you'll struggle to find it. What you will find is a very talented solo multi-instrumentalist from Detroit who is making his own music and making a very good job of it in the process, this is the new John Idan.......singing like a 'bird released!
been at Twickenham the night before she might have thought differently.
proved me wrong. Now I wonder how on earth they are going to replace John Idan.
In the late 80, "Detroit John", as he was known then, moved from his native Michigan to London and got a gig as singer and second guitarist in the Topham-McCarty Blues Band – led by Yardbirds drummer Jim McCarty and the groups original (pre–Clapton) lead guitarist, Top Topham. That eventually led to his current gig as bassist and singer in the reformed Yardbirds. He can be heard pulling double duty (spelling original bassist Paul Samwell-Smith and the late vocalist Keith Relf) on the band's star-studded Birdland (2003).
On his self-produced solo debut, Idan supplies all instruments (except for a string quartet) – recorded, he stresses, in analogue in real time and on real instruments – though, to his credit, the overdubbed one-man-band aspect would be impossible to detect if he hadn't divulged details.
The biographical opener "The Ballad of Myself" has a distinctly Cat Stevens feel – not coincidently, no doubt, as the CD was mixed by Robin Black (known for his work with Stevens, Jethro Tull, Gerry Rafferty, and others). For the most part, Idan eschews the often hard edge of the Yardbirds in favour of a folkie feel, with layered acoustic rhythms – ironically sounding more English than the blues-rock Brits he fronts. When he does step up to play lead, though, he displays a style that's both melodic and muscular. The Beatles-esque "That's You and Me" reveals an uncanny ability to mimic George Harrison's slide style.
If all the above-mentioned genres have you second-guessing from pigeonhole to pigeonhole, that's the nature of this eclectic showcase. But Idan's voice (vocally, instrumentally, and compositionally) ensures cohesion on this very auspicious outing.
This album has 13 songs, and in the days of Top 40 radio...all 13 would have been hits. The songs are diverse musically, and the music arrangements, lyrics, and melodies are solid throughout the album. When I listen to The Folly, I can hear the multiple influences that John must have been exposed to growing up. He's able to draw us in "to feel" the music. This may happen due to his long experience as a live performer. Truly, there is magic in the connectivity John makes with the listener that I haven't felt since Harry Nilsson's, Nilsson Schmilsson. This is a no hype review of one very amazingly solid album. A big Thank You to John Idan.


Can the recipes in the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Recipes book be used in other electric pressure cookers? I have used pressure cookers since I can remember. I am on my second digital electric pressure cooker, but it's not an Instant Pot. That will be my next splurge. But I just need to know if those recipes will work in other digital electric pressure cookers. Thanks for your time.
A pressure cooker is a pressure cooker is a pressure cooker.
You can use any pressure cooker recipe (almost) form any source with any other pressure cooker.
Do check the pressure the recipe is aimed at though. And compare it with the pressure your PC claims. You may need to adjust the timing. For that matter you can usually get by with a recipe written for low pressure at high pressure by simply halving the time.
The other thing to watch out for is if you have a non stick bowl, you may want to do any preliminary frying in a separate pot on the stove then transfer the contents.
You can follow the recipe and instructions here, I would do 30-35 minutes for that size bird!

From Monte-Carlo simulation Hull-White process I get paths in risk-neutal measure. How can I get paths in physical measure?
It is not easy to move from risk-neutral to real-world probabilities as this would involve estimating the market risk permium.
Another from market prices for the risk-neutral simulation: Depending on what you want to do, the calibration basket will be different.
You need do the market price calibration. As the previous person answered, you can use likelihood to check. To certain limitation of the model itself (in this case HW), even you find good fit parameters, the physical path may not be that ideal or you can never achieve.

The Final Girls or The Final Girl of Cairo
If, like me, you were an fan of horror films in the 80's/90's, you'll remember the final girls, one of the most regular tropes of slashers. You'll also remember the actresses who played them, or perhaps not, as none of them ever had much of a career after their brief turn in the limelight, and in those pre-IMDB days, you had no idea what had happened to them. Most probably smaller parts in barely seen films, bit parts on TV and little else.
While deconstructiong slashers is nothing really new (See Detention, The New Nightmare, and, obviously, Scream), The Final Girls has a very clever premise, in which a bunch of teenagers find themselves literally transported into an 80's horror film, whose codes they must follow to survive (think The Purple Rose of Cairo meets Friday the 13th). The film is a little uneven, as, despite a few really smart ideas (loved the flashbacks!) and some really funny scenes, it does not really do horror very well. The death scenes are too brief and unimaginative, and there is zero tension. Where the film shines however, is through its completely unexpected emotional side.
The twist in the story is that one of the teen's mum was an actress in the film they end up in, who had died a few years ago, hence a tearful reunion for her daughter who finds herself facing the character her mum played in the film. All the characters are likeable (which is somehow a departure from slashers where they are totally dependable), but Malin Akerman as the mum, a wannabee movie star who never got anywhere, as well as her on-screen character, a shy girl with confidence issues, is wonderful. Through her, director Todd Strauss-Schulson conjures up an affectionate tribute to all these young actresses who never quite made it in Hollywood yet made the days of a generation of young horror fans of that era, and her unexpectedly moving stripping scene with "Bette Davis Eyes" in the background will bring tears to your eyes.

A week after people from around the country gathered to honor service members on Veterans Day, one Virginia-based chamber of commerce is taking steps to help those who have bravely served our country.
The Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce and Corporate Gray have joined forces to announce that they would be giving more resources than ever in order to help small businesses hire veterans as they transition into civilian life. The chamber has set up a website where small businesses can list job openings, allow veterans to upload their resumes and take advantage of a search feature.
"The chamber represents more than 250 employers, and this free service makes it easier for small companies to be 'military friendly' because there is no cost to post their job opportunities on this military-niche employment site," Corporate Gray, a military publication publisher, said in a statement. "The chamber discounts are also available to chamber members that want to search for resumes of military veterans."
Other chambers of commerce have been making news for small business in recent days. The Chamber of Commerce of St. Joseph County in Indiana announced that it would be taking nominations for the 2011 ATHENA Award, which awards entrepreneurs who provide excellent service to the community.


I have a 2002 39ft bluebird 454 gas automatic.
there are lights in the ceiling and they work fine. I want to power them independently with the key off (when I turn the key other things turn on including a very loud buzzer/alarm thing (back door ??) that does not turn off unless I START the engine.
I just want to turn on the lights so we can work inside with more light.
anyway to bypass this so I can power the lights directly? ie where do I begin to find how its powered etc.. ?
or is there some trick/process to get the lights on without turning everything else on? They will be LED so won't consumer much powered not worried about that.
If you won't have a house battery bank you could connect the light circuit directly to a wire that's always hot. If you connect to the battery side of the fuse box you should add a fuse in line with the new hot wire. The problem with powering stuff from the starting batteries is the possibility of draining them enough that you can't start the engine.
If you'll have a house battery bank you can power your lights directly from it. This circuit should also have a fuse protecting it. Fuses should be sized to the wire size, not the draw of the device.
I just want to turn on the interior lights is there any way to do that? Or would I have to rewire it?
I assume your interior light switch will be on a switch panel of some sort. Access the back of the panel and find the back of the light switch. There should be two wires plugged into it. One will go to the lights and the other will be the power supply from the fuse box or ignition switch. You'll need a volt meter to figure out which wire is the supply. With the key on, one side will be always hot and the other will be hot only with the switch in the "ON" position.
Now turn the key off and check the other wires on the switch panel looking for one that is hot when the key is off. If you find one you can run a new wire from that terminal to the light switch (being careful to tape off the old switch supply wire).
If no "always hot" wires are found at the panel you'll have to get creative. The simplest answer would be to run a wire directly from the switch to the battery positive post. Just be sure to put a fuse inline near the battery post to protect the circuit.
I used a double throw solenoid, in place of the installed on-off solenoid. When the engine is on the alternator powers the lights and fan. When the engine is off the house battery bank powers those things.
inside your switch panel, bluebird has banks of circuit breakers, they are silver modules, there will be 2 or 3 banks of them.. from the light switch you will find that wire likely goes to a breaker on the switched side of the big solenoid.. there is one bank which has items on the circuit breakers which are hot all the time.. you can mve the wire from the switched bank to the hot bank and your dome lights will work anytime you like.. be sure to place the wire on the screw terminal of the circuit breaker that is NOT on the same side as the Bar... this would make them un-fused which is bad.. you'll see other wires.. you may need to pop another module into the rail if all the terminals are full.. they are all 20 amp breakers and 12 gauge wire in my bus.. you can buy those modules at a regular auto parts store.
im out of town or i'd show you a pic of mine.
VERY cool. sounds like exactly what I need. so just remove the swint panel and the breakers will be underneath it?
in process of removing all the seats today. got an idea to bolt 2 bother with a support in the middle to make a little "couch" I can use at work!! gonna try it out and see how it goes.
yeah they are behind the panel.. its a pretty large cavity inside. be careful pulling the panel.. there is a LOT of wires! so go easy and dont just yank it out of there you might disconnect something..
Anyone know how to do this on a Thomas?
should be real similar on a thomas.. either an outside electrical access panel or an inner one like the bluebird.. I dont believe the thomas of your year had gone fully Multiplex on the switches yet.. you should have a hot bar and an ignition bar.. most school busses are similar in that respect.. some of the newer stuff like oyurs has a pabel outside that makes life easie to work on the wiring..


Traci and I finally went on the Tom Joyner Foundation Fantastic Voyage Cruise. It's the ultimate "party with a purpose" cruise that raises scholarship money for students whose funds have run out at HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). This trip totally exceeded my expectations. Basically, the Tom Joyner Foundation rents out the whole Royal Caribbean Adventure Of The Seas cruise ship and provides top-notched entertainers, activities, and parties that are catered to listeners of his radio show. We saw many celebrities and met many nice people. Now I know why people go on this cruise year after year despite its hefty price tag.
The Concerts: Without a doubt, this was my favorite part of the cruise. Every evening after dinner we went from venue to venue until the wee hours of the morning to see performers such as Chaka Khan, Freddie Jackson, Maze featuring Frankie Beverley, Keith Sweat, and more.
Celebrity Sightings: We came face to face with more celebrities on this cruise than I have in my entire life. Some of the people we encountered chilling out on this cruise were Emmanuel Lewis, Brian McKnight, Minister Louis Farrakhan, and, of course, Tom Joyner. It was fun to see how many celebrities we could spot.
Friendly People: We met so many nice people on this cruise. All the activities, concerts, and ports of call made it easy for everyone to strike up conversations with fellow passengers. We all seemed to bond as one big happy family.
The Drink Tank: This was supposed to be a spoof of the more serious Think Tank discussion that took place on the ship. Instead of a panel of news anchors, actors, and politicians discussing serious social issues, the Drink Tank consists of a panel of foul-mouthed comedians who respond to the audience's questions with the most ridiculous answers they can think of. Ironically, the Drink Tank turned into a serious discussion as the panel of comedians opened up about their careers, idols, and opinions of the industry. It was a fascinating discussion.
The Rock Wall: The ship has a rock wall. Traci and I had never done rock climbing before this trip but we gave it a try and enjoyed it. We made it to the top twice. It was a good upper body workout.
Too Much Profanity: There were many comedians on the ship. They were usually the opening acts for the musical concerts. All of the comedians were very funny; however, I thought they used too much profanity. It seemed every other word was a 4-letter word or the N-word. It became annoying after a while.
Standing in Lines: The evening concerts are first-come-first-serve. This led to very long lines. Some people told us they waited in line for 2 hours! To make matters worse, people were wrongly holding seats for their friends once they managed to get in the theater. Traci and I never arrived more than 30 minutes before a show. Because of this, there were times we were told that the venue was full. The event organizers did their best to accommodate the 3000 passengers on this cruise by staggering the shows and having most of the entertainers perform at least twice. Traci and I managed to see every show. However, standing in all those lines really began to frustrate us by the end of the week.
Movie Screening: One of the perks of being on this cruise was that we got to see the screening of the movie Hustle and Flow. My problem with this movie is that we were on this cruise to be a positive influence on young minds by raising scholarship money, yet this movie has all the makings of a stereotypical, 1970's blaxploitation film with pimps, prostitutes, violence, jail, and filthy language. It seems to promote the negative stereotypes of blacks in film that so many people have struggled to change.
So many thoughts went through my mind as Traci and I stood there on the ramp looking at the huge "Tom Joyner Foundation Fantastic Voyage 2005" banner hanging on the side of this gigantic Royal Caribbean Adventure Of The Seas cruise ship. After years of not going on this cruise because of the price or because it was sold out, we were now standing just a few yards away from the entrance of the ship after finally committing to do the cruise almost 10 months ago. I was very excited, but also a little nervous. I'd heard this is a party cruise. I don't consider myself a party animal. Will I fit in? The cruise motto is What happens on the ship stays on the ship! What was I going to see on this cruise that I am not supposed to talk about? Just then, I felt a nudge. It was Traci who whispered, "Mike, isn't the guy in front of us one of the comedians from BET ComicView?" Sure enough, it was comedian A. J. Jamal. Wow! Our first celebrity sighting and we weren't even on the ship yet.
I can't believe we're here!
"Welcome to the Fantastic Voyage 2005!"
We entered our ship cabin and found a bottle of champagne, a fruit basket, and a card from the Tom Joyner Foundation welcoming us aboard and thanking us for our contribution to the scholarship fund. These were the first of many gifts (shirts, duffle bags, hats, gadgets, etc.) that were waiting for us in our room each evening.
We had an inside cabin overlooking the Promenade Deck. Although it was one of the least expensive cabins on the cruise (but still almost triple the price it would be on a regular Royal Caribbean 7-day cruise - Ouch!), we later found it to be one of the best cabins to have on a Tom Joyner cruise. Many of the theme night parades and parties take place on the Promenade Deck. On these nights, we could simply open our curtains and see all the action instead of standing in the crowd hoping to get a glimpse. However, if you are a light sleeper, this is not the cabin for you. On the party nights, we could hear the music thumping and see the party lights flashing through our curtains at 4 a.m.. There ain't no party like a Tom Joyner party 'cause a Tom Joyner party don't stop!
On our bed was a copy of The Compass, the daily newsletter listing all the ship activities and important announcements. As we read through The Compass, we were beginning to realize this cruise was not going to be like any cruise we've been on. Basically, Tom Joyner had rented the whole ship for a week and tailored the activities and entertainment to the demographic of the listeners of his radio show. Instead of the regular cruise ship evening entertainment, the evening line up included concerts like Chaka Khan, Eddie and Gerald Levert, Morris Day and the Time, and Kem. The morning exercise classes were being led by actual fitness guru's such as Donna Richardson, Mocha Lee, and Ryan Gentles. There were Think Tank discussions with panelists such as BET anchor Jacque Reid, Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr., and actress Sheryl Lee Ralph to debate social issues. And, of course, there were plenty of parties.
To further enhance the Tom Joyner experience, there was constant soft classic R&B music playing in the elevators and the dining halls. Some of the channels on the closed-circuit ship television showed movies that feature black actors and comedians.
There were approximately 3000 of us on this Fantastic Voyage. The ages seemed to range from 30's to 60's with most people appearing to be middle-aged. The women greatly out-numbered the men.


In this paper, finite element models are presented that were generated for a proposed space telescope using the ANSYS parametric design language (APDL). Full three-dimensional and an axisymmetric model were used to analyse the telescope under several loading conditions such as gravitational acceleration and thermal loading. These models were based on a mechanical athermalisation design concept, in which a Delrin tube was used to compensate the axial thermal deformation between the mirror and the lens. A modal analysis was carried out using the three dimensional model in order to determine the fundamental natural frequency for different materials and holding positions. For stress analysis, the axisymmetric model was used and compared to the three-dimensional model.

Cases / Immersion tank scanner
Immersion tank scanner for ultrasonic inspection of high performance components
PLANSEE GmbH was founded in 1921 in Austria for production of refractory metals and other special materials. Today the production of "High performance materials", both the raw material and finished components, are the primary fields of activity for PLANSEE, which is represented worldwide.
PLANSEE have been involved in the international ITER project, where an atomic fusion reactor is being developed. PLANSEE have contracts for delivery of a great number of different components for the ITER project, and to inspect these components an immersion tank system has been delivered by FORCE Technology.
The immersion tank has a volume of 2400 liters. It is equipped with a 5 axes scanner, a turntable and the de-livery also includes two special pipe scanners. The ultrasonic data acquisition and control of the immersion tank is made by P-scan System 4, using a PSP-4+ processing unit.
The components to be inspected by the system are produced from a number of special alloys made from e.g. copper, chromium and tungsten. Carbon fibre composites may also be used. The different components are fused together using a number of different techniques. After this, the fusion bonds need to be examined with ultrasound.
The components have a great variation in size and shape and many of the components have embedded, curved pipes. In order to inspect all of these components, it is necessary that the immersion tank has a great flexibility combined with many different modes of operation.
The five axes scanning arm is used to scan most of the objects. It can position the ultrasonic probe in the X, Y, and Z direction combined with probe tilt and skew. It is possible to program the scanner to follow the shape of the object, either using information from a CAD-file or by measuring the shape of the object using a laser distance sensor.
The system is designed to be able to scan multiple objects, placed on the tank bottom, without user intervention. In order to facilitate the placement of the components, the tank bottom can be lifted. A turntable has been installed on the tank bottom. It can be used together with the scanning arm to scan rotary symmetric objects.
For scanning of the embedded pipes two special scanners have been developed. They are designed to scan pipes down to 9 mm diameter from the inside. The "rigid lance" scanner is used for straight pipes with a maximum length of 150 mm. The "flexible lance" scanner is designed for curved pipes up to 2400 mm with a minimum radius of curvature of 50 mm.

Question: Why are there many religious texts and prayers that are close to religion in the wisdom of Kabbalah?
Answer: Kabbalah is the foundation. It was established before any of the religions. All the texts and all the books that we read like: Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and so forth, are Kabbalistic texts, they have nothing to do with religion. They were written by Kabbalists. They wrote about attaining the upper world and about the higher system by investigating it within themselves based on the connection between them and others. This is high, practical, internal psychological work.
I do not see a single book that can be seen as a basis for humanity besides the wisdom of Kabbalah. Kabbalah was the source of scientific knowledge for scientists, philosophers, alchemists and many others throughout human history. They derived all knowledge from Kabbalah. It is a science.
As long as this wisdom existed among the people of Israel, both the Greeks and the Romans drew knowledge from it and then disseminated it even in Europe. When the people of Israel descended from their spiritual level from "And you shall love your friend as yourself" (Leviticus 19:18) to the level of "mutual hatred," the wisdom of Kabbalah was hidden from the people and remained only among a small group of people. Since people became disconnected from the perception of the upper world, they themselves began to imagine it within completely different frameworks and attributes. And from this arose religion, Judaism and from that, Christianity and Islam. So we have become disconnected from spirituality in a 2,000 year exile; we have to explain that Abraham and Moses were Kabbalists and that the Talmud is a Kabbalistic book.
We cannot and should not prove anything to people because everything will gradually be revealed to humanity. People will suddenly begin to understand that the Kabbalistic ideas are correct. Humanity has been divided into many different levels according to their yearning to discover the truth. There are people who want to study the various sciences, to be involved with the arts, to achieve self-realization, etc. And there are people who just want to live normally, and for this religion is necessary for them. But there are people who want to accurately attain the meaning of life; they are the ones who come to the wisdom of Kabbalah.
What Is The Difference Between Kabbalah And Religion?


I'm working on an abap program where I need to update the pricing date of a service line item and recalculate the pricing conditions . This is similar to the Update pricing condition button on the condition tab in the 1 order transaction screen . This is needed because with the change in the pricing date , the new pricing picks up the new prices from the contract on which the service is based on . The updation of the pricing date can be made easily via CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN but how to re-price the conditions ?
Pricing manipulation for an order can be done by using CRM_PRICING_BADI.Use the method CRM_PRICING_MERGE, here you can use the changing parameter CS_PRICING_BADI to change the pricing data.
I'm looking for a_BAdI to change some pricing fields (Netvalue, Subtotals), I guess CRM_PRICING_BADI shoud be the one, but I can't find those fields (Netvalue, Subtotals) in Chaning. Please advise if this CRM_PRICING_BADI is the right one, if not, can you please tell me which one?

The 2020 Nelson Mandela Prize {SEE: http://www.trueheroesfilms.org/thedigest/awards/nelson-mandela-prize-un] is awarded every five years and recognizes those who dedicate their lives to the service of humanity, will go to Marianna Vardinoyannis, of Greece, and Doctor Morissana Kouyaté, of Guinea, it was announced on Friday.
United Nations Marianna V. Vardinoyannis, female laureate of the 2020 United Nations Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela Prize.
The President of the General Assembly, Tijjani Muhammad-Bande, made the announcement, and will recognize the laureates during a virtual ceremony on 20 July, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. An in-person award ceremony will take place at a later date, at UN Headquarters in New York.
Ms. Vardinoyannis is the founder and president of two foundations dedicated to children: the "Marianna V. Vardinoyannis Foundation" and "ELPIDA Friends' Association of Children with cancer."
She has been involved in the fight against child cancer for some 30 years and, thanks to her work, thousands of children have been cured. Notably, the ELPIDA association was instrumental in setting up the first bone marrow transplant unit in Greece, in 1999, and the country's first oncology hospital for children, in 2010.
Her foundation also supports programmes for the medical care of refugee children and other vulnerable social groups, human rights education, programmes, and the fight against human trafficking. Ms. Vardinoyannis has been a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador since 1999.
United Nations Morissanda Kouyate, male laureate of the 2020 United Nations Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela Prize.
As Executive Director of the Inter-African Committee on Harmful Traditional Practices (IAC), Dr. Kouyaté is a leading figure in efforts to end violence against women in Africa, including Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). He has received several international humanitarian awards for his work.
Dr. Kouyaté created IAC in 1984 in Dakar, Senegal, at a time when FGM was a highly controversial and sensitive issue for discussion. The organization aims, through education, to change attitudes towards the practice, and allow all African women and children to fully enjoy their human rights, free from the consequences of FGM, and other harmful practices.
It is a partner organization with the UN reproductive rights agency (UNFPA), the World Health Organization (WHO), and UN childrens' agency (UNICEF).
"I am pleased to join you to celebrate the life and achievements of Nelson Mandela – one of the greatest leaders of our time, a moral giant whose legacy continues to guide us today", Secretary-General António Guterres said in his message to the virtual General Assembly commemoration.
Quoting Madiba Mr. Guterres said: "As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest".
Maintaining that "inequality damages everyone", the UN chief said it was "a brake on human development and opportunities".
"The answer lies in a New Social Contract, to ensure economic and social justice and respect for human rights", stressed the UN chief.

Four women human rights defenders with a mission
The Bandera County Courrier of 7 March 2020 referred to the following four women human rights defenders from four non-European countries who should serve as examples for the many who are tirelessly fighting for their rights.
Mexico: Norma Librada Ledezma
Norma Librada Ledezmas 15 – year-old daughter Paloma disappeared on2 March 2002 in Chihuahua, Mexico. 27 For days, the mother searched desperately for her daughter . The police did not give her any support. At the 29. March 2002 Paloma's body was found. Ledezma is convinced that if the police had investigated earlier and more thoroughly, their daughter could have been saved. That day, the Mexican founded the organization "Justicia para nuestras hijas", which means: justice for our daughters. This provides legal advice and support in cases of feminicide (murder of women). The same applies to human trafficking and kidnapping. Ledezma wants justice for the victims and the families affected. The Mexican has already supported more than 200 investigations into cases of feminicide and kidnapping. The death of her daughter Paloma is not an isolated case in Mexico. According to UN Women, around ten women are killed in Mexico every day. Ledezma has been able to improve the investigation of feminicides in the country with her work. The Mexican woman has also set up a public prosecutor's office in Chihuahua that specializes in crimes against women as victims. For her commitment, Ledezma has been nominated for the Martin Ennals Human Rights Award, an award for people and organizations who are committed to protecting human rights.

India: Malti Tudu
Malti Tudu has a mission: she wants to end child marriage in her homeland, the state of Bihar, India. In the tribe the number of child marriages is particularly high. 74 percent of women get married under 18 year For the young activist, one thing is certain: children should not be forced to marry. According to Unicef, child marriage violates the rights of girls and boys, with girls being affected five times more often. The married girls have to drop out of school. Teenage mothers also die more often than mature women from complications during pregnancy or childbirth. Tudu has been fighting child marriage in Bihar for more than two years. The activist has partnered with other women. Together they educate the residents in the surrounding villages and try to prevent as many child marriages as possible. The women also get a lot of headwind in their actions. But Tudu remains persistent – with success. She has already saved several girls from getting married. In the meantime, she has become a role model for many young women in India. In recent years, more and more women have come together to fight child marriage in India. And there is progress: In the past ten years, the proportion of child marriages in India has gone from 50 percent to 27 percent.
Kenya: Christine Ghati Alfons
Christine Ghati Alfons, a young Kenyan, is fighting for the circumcision of girls to stop. That is not easy. Many in their homeland are still convinced that circumcised women have better chances of marriage and are better integrated into the community. Officially, genital mutilation has been official in Kenya since 2011 forbidden. Nevertheless, according to the United Nations, one in five women is still between 15 and 49 years in Kenya – the mutilation happens in private clinics or at home.

Had her father not stood up for her then, Alfons would have been circumcised. His involvement broke a taboo in the community – and had consequences. He was killed because he wanted to protect his eight-year-old daughter. Alfons didn't know anything about her father's courage for a long time. Because all of her friends were circumcised, she wanted that too. The vehemence with which her mother forbade her surprised her. When they talked about the risk of contracting HIV during circumcision at school, Alfons decided against it. Only then did she learn from the mother why her father died. "I want to make my father proud," says Alfons today. She is committed to girls who have no one to stand up for them. The 27 year-old founded the organization "Safe Engage Foundation "with which she goes to the communities to talk to children, parents and teachers, to convince them of the cruelty. When genital mutilation occurs, the clitoris and labia become partially or completely away. In particularly severe cases, the entire external genitalia is cut off and sewn back up except for a hole the size of a matchstick. The circumcised women torture themselves throughout their lives with physical and psychological pain. Not only in Africa, but also in Asia and the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia: Manal al Sharif
Manal al Sharif becomes famous in Saudi Arabia in 2011 with a shaky cell phone video that she films in an apparently banal activity: she is behind the wheel of a car. At the time, the autocratic monarchy was the last country in the world where women were prohibited from driving a car.

The eight-minute recording shows Sharif, an IT consultant, driving through the streets of the Saudi city of Khobar. She speaks to her friend and co-activist Wajeha al Huwaider, says things like: "We want change in our country" and: "A woman deserves the same rights as every man." And she is optimistic. "Things will change – God willing." A lot has happened since the video went viral. Initially, the Sharif admission jailed for eleven days. The repressive regime accuses her of "inciting public opinion against the state". When she is released, she leaves the country because of death threats. But Sharif's video fired the Saudi "Women2Drive" movement. And even after her emigration, the activist remains part of the movement, campaigning for women's rights in Saudi Arabia. 2018 the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman – de facto the most powerful man in the country – allows women to drive. Nevertheless, he continues to take decisive action against critics of the Kingdom. According to Amnesty, some women's rights activists, such as Loujain al Hathloul, have been detained for several years, relatives report torture. Sharif now lives in Sydney, has written a book about her experiences and is committed to Women in their country of origin…Manal al Sharif is now considered one of the most important women rights activists in Saudi Arabia.
These four women have a mission

Ethiopian human rights defender Bogaletch Gebre has passed away
Ezega.com reported on 6 November 2019 the deatch of the highly-awarded woman human rights defender Bogaletch Gebre, founder of KMG Ethiopia (Kembatti Menotti Gezzima-Tope).
Bogaletch Gebre was a victim of female genital mutilation at the age of 12 and was forbidden from joining formal education, which forced her to sneak out of her home to attend a missionary school that paved the way for her to be what she became. Following her elementary years at the Missionary school, Bogalech Gebre attended various local schools as well as some prestigious Higher Education Institutions abroad.
In an interview with ETV, she said the trauma of FGM took her years to recuperate and she suffered complications from it years later. It wasn't during her youth years Bogaletch Gebre learned more about what had happened to her and her family because of FGM. At the time Bogalech was a graduate student in the United States. When Bogaletch Gebre found out that FGM was needless and harmful practice, she became incensed. She eventually left her PhD program in epidemiology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and in 1995 she returned to Kembata Tembaro, her hometown in Ethiopia.
In 1997 she and her younger sister started KMG, an indigenous Resident Charity Organization with the goal of helping to create an environment where the values and rights of women are recognized and where their talents and wisdom are nurtured. The organization was founded with the two sister's belief that if women are empowered and their talents nurtured, the lives of both men and women would improve.
Bogalech Gebre along with her sister began implementing their plans in the region of Kembatta – Tembaro. The organization they founded is now diversified its scope and operates in additional 24 of Southern Nations Nationalities and People's Regional State (SNNPRS) and Oromia district, reaching out to more than 481,289 direct and 2,859,500 indirect beneficiaries, 70% of whom are women.
The realization of their effort has protected many girls from going through lasting complications. Bogalech Gebere believed and spoke about the need for a change and bringing together all communities, women, and men to make informed decisions.
In 2010, the Independent newspaper characterized her as "the woman who began the rebellion of Ethiopian women." In particular, the Independent report praised her for KMG's strong commitment to reduce the rate of bridal abductions in Kembatta and FGM. Bogalech Gebre was awarded the 2005 North-South Prize, in 2007 the Jonathan Mann Award for Global Health and Human Rights and in 2013 both the Bruno Kreisky Award and he King Baudouin International Development Prize.

One million $ for Waris Dirie and her fight against FGM
Some prizes come with serious money such as the 2019 Sunhak Peace Prize. On 9 February, 2019 PRNewswire reported that Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, co-founder of the Korean Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) awarded one million dollars (USD) to this year's Sunhak Peace Prize laureates, Waris Dirie and Akinwumi Ayodeji Adesina, as part of her philanthropic work. The biennial award honors individuals and organizations who have made significant contributions to the peace and welfare of future generations. The award ceremony took place on 9 February 2019 in Seoul, South Korea.

Waris Dirie, model and human rights activist, brought the violence of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) on the world stage by raising FGM as an international human rights issue and assisting in passing a UN resolution banning its practice. The Sunhak Committee acknowledged Waris Dirie's achievements in advocating for the rights of millions of women and girls in Africa.
"Thank you for your recognition. Thank you for everything that comes with it, this beautiful peace prize. It's all I dreamed [of] as a child. All I wanted was peace and to receive this, this is a great gift to me…You giving me a peace prize, it's because I believe in peace," stated Ms. Dirie during the press conference.
As a victim of FGM herself, having been circumcised at the tender age of five in Somalia, she quit a successful career as a supermodel and dedicated the past 25 years to making FGM a recognized worldwide human rights crisis. She served as UN Special Ambassador for the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation from 1997 to 2003.
Her advocacy focuses on education as the fundamental key to eradicating FGM and empowering women and girls to have the knowledge they need to protect themselves. She emphasizes the fact that until women have equal respect, there cannot be lasting peace. In 2002, she founded the Desert Flower Foundation, an organization aimed at raising awareness of the dangers surrounding FGM. The Foundation raises money for schools and clinics in her native Somalia and supports the Zeitz Foundation, an organization focused on sustainable development and conservation. She also runs FGM reconstruction surgery centers in Europe. In January 2009, she started the PPR Foundation for Women's Dignity and Rights, an organization founded along with French businessman François-Henri Pinault and his wife, Hollywood actress Salma Hayek.
