Q: pexpect and shell meta characters (>, |, or *) I am pretty confused right now.
pexpect documentation states the following:
Remember that Pexpect does NOT interpret shell meta characters such as
redirect, pipe, or wild cards (>, |, or *). This is a common mistake.
If you want to run a command and pipe it through another command then
you must also start a shell. For example::

child = pexpect.spawn('/bin/bash -c "ls -l | grep LOG > log_list.txt"')
child.expect(pexpect.EOF)

However I am looking at some old code that uses | and * in pexpect.sendline(some command | grep 'something').
So I started to test these command and they all seem to work. It is also worth mentioning that I am not using a modified pexpect module, it is plain old pexpect for python.
How come? why does pexpect mention that meta characters does not work, when it obviously does so?

A: pexpect.spawn doesn't interpret shell meta characters, but whatever's running inside pexpect (presumably a shell) clearly does:
child = pexpect.spawn('/bin/bash')
child.sendline('echo hello | cat')

pexpect is just passing the string to the child process; it's not interpreting it.


"HVLI has impressed us with their professional, methodical approach to each project. They have worked with us to develop agendas, timelines, concepts, budgets and purchasing programs.

HVLI deserves our recognition and has our appreciation for their major role in achieving this level of excellence."
A beautiful Italianate building—a hospital for most of its century-long life—is remade into a bespoke and utterly contemporary hotel where an historic sense of well-being infuses every aspect of its experience and design.
The hotel's storied life is reflected in the textures, patterns, colors, and compositions that make up its public spaces. Fundamentals that harken back to the building's prominence—one of the Topeka, Santa Fe Railroad's most important hospitals—such as the studded leather chairs in the drawing room or the comforting calmness of neutral-colored walls set the tone. Unexpected notes, such as pieces of depression-era glass accentuated in wall-hung boxes, or the incorporation of Prohibition-era written prescriptions in the chair fabrics for Apothecary—the hotel's rooftop bar—suggest complimentary stories. And, finally, the hotel's historic and continuing importance in the community finds expression in the intricate handiwork of local blacksmiths, painters, tile makers, and local suppliers that fill the public spaces.

Q: How to step through a loop with pry and view the value of an iterator? I inserted binding.pry into my Ruby program and am trying to view the value of an iterator at each iteration of my loop:
require 'pry'

def longest_palindrome s
  max_palindrome_len = 0
  for i in (0..s.length)
    binding.pry
    for j in (i..s.length)
      binding.pry
      substr = s[i..j]
      if substr == substr.reverse && substr.length > max_palindrome_len
        max_palindrome_len = substr.length
      end
    end
  end
  return max_palindrome_len
end

longest_palindrome "racer"

I want to view the values for i and j at each iteration in the loop.
I'm sure I'm just missing something here, but I haven't been able to figure out what to do from the documentation.

A: You can type p i and p j to manually inspect them.
That'd make me crazy though, so I'd insert puts i and puts j temporarily.
Don't use for loops with Ruby. Instead we use each or upto, downto or times, depending on our purpose. Also, explicit return statements aren't needed at the end of a method unless you are forcing the code to exit early.
I'd write your code something like:
require 'pry'

def longest_palindrome(s)
  max_palindrome_len = 0

  s.length.times do |i|
    binding.pry
    i.upto(s.length) do |j|
      binding.pry
      substr = s[i..j]
      if substr == substr.reverse && substr.length > max_palindrome_len
        max_palindrome_len = substr.length
      end
    end
  end

  max_palindrome_len
end

longest_palindrome "racer"

Palaeeudyptes gunnari es una especie extinta de pingüino del género Palaeeudyptes. Era un poco menor que su pariente Palaeeudyptes antarcticus de Nueva Zelanda, midiendo entre 110 a 125 centímetros de altura, el tamaño aproximado del pingüino emperador. Es conocido a partir de docenas de huesos fósiles que han sido hallados en estratos que datan de mediados o finales del Eoceno (hace entre 34-50 millones de años) en la Formación La Meseta de la Isla Seymour de la Antártida. Inicialmente fue descrito como un género separado, Eosphaeniscus. Sin embargo, este estaba basado en un único tarsometatarso roto y deteriorado. Material en mejores condiciones recuperado tiempo después mostró que la especie pertenecía al género Palaeeudyptes.

Wimanornis es probablemente un sinónimo más moderno de esta especie (Jadwiszcak, 2006).

Union Pacific Derailment Photos
Pacific, MO - December 13, 2001
On December 13, 2001 at about 5:45 am, an eastbound UP coal train led by UP 6646 and UP 8025, hit the back of another eastbound UP coal train, which was stopped just outside of Pacific, MO. The rear unit on the stopped train was UP 8088, which was operating as distributed power at the end of the train. The derailment fouled the No. 1 track, and shortly afterwards a westbound UP coal train (UP 6555 leading, UP 7510/UP 7085 trailing), hit the wreckage.
Note: These photos were taken several days after the accident (on Christmas Day, in fact). Sorry for the poor lighting on most of the engine shots, it was late in the day and the Sun was not on my side!

Book Review: Japan Restored
By Jim Miles | Oct 9, 2015 | Asia Pacific, Reviews | 1 |
I can only recommend not reading Japan Restored unless you enjoy working with some rather fanciful conjecture.
Clyde Prestowitz, Japan Restored: How Japan Can Reinvent Itself and Why This is Important for America and the World (North Clarendon: Tuttle Publishing, 2015).
In mid-September I was asked to consider reviewing a book on Japan, with the e-mail presenting this very short precis:
"It presents a vision of Japan in the year 2050 and then enumerates what must be done—expand their military, open up to immigration, get women working, embrace English, etc.—to get there. The author, Clyde Prestowitz is the founder and president of the Economic Strategy Institute in DC and has a very serious resume."
My reply, based on my own perceptions after many years of reading and reviewing books was:
"The description makes it sound like I would probably be a 'hostile' reviewer—become more militaristic and Americanized and it will al [sic] work out for you….? If the author is willing to submit with that preconception, go for it."
So the author and/or the publisher decided to proceed with forwarding me Japan Restored, presumably thinking that the power of the work could withstand any of my preconceptions. Now that I have received the book and read it—well part of it—I should really have declined. I do not deal well with futuristic conjecture, especially when it pretty much crosses the line into a setting for a science fiction novella, but without the pretense of offering any real social/psychological insights.
Pretty harsh? Maybe, but the cover picture shows a futuristic city, futuristic aircraft, with Fujiyama set in the background (no cherry blossoms). The first chapter sets the future scene; the rest of the book attempts to explain how it came about. More realistically the author should simply have argued that there are certain changes that need to be implemented in order to revive, in essence, all of Japanese cultural and financial activities. In other words, describe Japan as it is now, rather moribund economically and hanging on a financial thread, and then write about what is necessary to revitalize it; forget the sci-fi conjecture.
Hints are given in the first chapter. The author mentions "America's mainly free-market capitalism." With all the stock, bond, and commodity markets under the careful watch of the privately held Federal Reserve and other corporate financing entities, and with the heavily subsidized agriculture, the economy can hardly be called "free market."
This leads to one of the ideas to be developed later in the book, that Japan needs "a series of deregulatory measures [to transfer] land used for small farming into residential or commercial farming." Whoa…what? Mexico is a good example of the worst of this idea, as highly subsidized U.S. corn pushed small farmers off their land, making it easier for the rentier economy—the FIRE sector—to make huge profits, while the former tenants were reduced to wage labor status without land. The last thing Japan needs to do is reduce its agricultural base.
Further, the question then arises about the corporate agricultural industries such as Dupont, Monsanto, Cargill, Syngenta and others who would gladly get their hands on the land and turn it into industrial usage mostly for their own profits with little benefit to the local population. Prestowitz posits "spacious homes surrounded by pleasant gardens,"—all very nicely suburban U.S.A. Detroit maybe?
The second chapter sets the stage for these changes to occur. Unfortunately, they are not based on logical reasoning based on current events and situations, but require a number of conjectural happenings in order to make them come about. All these events are conceived to be occurring in late 2016:
Israel attacks Iran
active volcano shuts down nuclear revival attempts
Japan shoots down Chinese jet over Senkakus
U.S. troops out of South Korea
economy under IMF control
Sony/Samsung merger (September to be more precise)
after 2016 elections an "Extraordinary National Revitalization Committee" is established
Could these happen? Well, sure, but will they? All of them? Call me again in December 2016 for an assessment.
And what about the Kuril Islands and Russia? What about the growing China-Russia geostrategic alliance? What about the Fukushima cleanup, have they got it done yet? What about the current financialized U.S. economy and its massive QE and its consequences globally? What about the Chinese—who incidentally are conjectured as being fifty per cent of the immigrants to Japan so why learn English and not Chinese—and their potential role with the global economy and a potential new gold standard of some kind? None of these items are recognized and dealt with in the work.
Therefore, I skim read the rest, and sure, perhaps I missed an interesting idea or two but within this highly conjectural context, they are pretty much irrelevant to reality. By skim reading, as explained by a university prof long time ago, I read the first paragraph or two of each chapter and the last paragraph or two, then skipped through the pages looking for catchwords and phrases.
In the end chapter, fully read, Prestowitz refers to Bill Clinton and Thomas Friedman, and concludes (remember that he is writing about the past from a future perspective):
"The best and the brightest of America and the West became convinced that the globalization of capitalism would bring democracy and peace to revive the suffering world."
And God bless America.
Pardon the sarcasm, but really, can the U.S. with all its military interventions to achieve/maintain its perceived hegemonic global role truly be a force for peace? In contradiction, it is that military attitude and rhetorical exceptionalism that is creating the vast majority of the "suffering world." Sure, a Pax Americana, supported by gunships, cronies, and oligarchies, but not much for the common human.
Two more final conjectures are mentioned. First,
"…the slow death of Japan would be a terrible blow to the hopes of those who believe in democracy and rule of law."
I believe in democracy and the rule of law, but would rather have it demonstrated as it is really meant, not through the barrel of a gun or the manipulations of the financialized corporations.
Finally, "Japan's continuing demise would be tremendously destabilizing, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, but also globally." His essential argument boils down to a stronger Japan with a weakening U.S. Yeah, like that will ensure democracy and peace, nuclear armed battleship Japan.
As I indicated above, call me again in December 2016, and I will see how it is working out. In the meantime, I can only recommend not reading Japan Restored unless you enjoy working with some rather fanciful conjecture.

The book says more about the politics of book publishing than anything. As for Japan, better for them to focus on modernizing post-WWII legacy commercial districts, geo-thermal energy, cleaning up the environment, and resolving issues with China, Russia and Korea.


Monaco is the centrepiece for luxury holidaying in Europe. You won't find another location in Europe that attracts the rich and famous as much as Monte Carlo. However, you don't have to be blessed with untold riches to savour some of the finest locations that Monaco has become famous for. In fact, the glorious scenery, ravishing garden areas and beautifully designed architecture are available to all. So we know all there is to know about the daytime but what about if you've got a few extra hours of energy to spare after the sun goes down? Here are a few ideas of what the nightlife in Monaco has to offer.
If you're one for the late night theatre production then this could be the ideal place to go. Beautifully shaped into the rocks that overlook Port Hercule, the theatre gained immense popularity after it screened James Bond Goldeneye, starring Pierce Brosnan and Sean Bean. However, if you prefer a more traditional vibe you can always take to the theatre during the summer months and experience the open air performances of Shakespeare's works and much more. The theatre is surrounded by some mesmerising coastal views that can potentially prove to be quite distracting.
Or the Casino de Monte Carlo, this is the perfect destination for people who want to get a taste of what it's like to bask in riches and potentially see the odd celebrity in the process. You can have a flutter yourself if you feel like it, so why not visit this luxuriously vibrant casino that remains a cornerstone of everything Monaco stands for. You may well recognise the stunning building from watching the Monaco Grand Prix at home as the race track is in very close proximity. With beautifully gilded ceilings and stunning architecture everywhere you look, this truly is the pinnacle of glamour and grandeur.
If you've got a passion for music and dance then this is the place to be. There's a huge variety of musical genres on offer at Moods Music Bar, from jazz to electro depending on the night. You can sit by the bar and enjoy the live performances or take to the dance floor and put your well-drilled dance moves to good use. Whilst the venue maintains a sense of modernity it also incorporates plenty of character to promote a feeling of warmth and comfort. The large, imposing fireplace is enough to give you a feeling of splendour and relaxation as the night draws to a close.
This unique venue provides nightclub enthusiasts with the chance to experience a vibrant clubbing atmosphere like no other. The venue has been designed to provide not only one of the largest and most comprehensive clubbing experiences on the planet but also a taste of what a future nightclub might feel like. The club itself is situated alongside a bowling alley and a tapas restaurant with a hotel also part of the same building. With a couple of VIP areas and unrivalled coastal views from the vast terraces, this is a nightclub that provides an experience like no other.
For more info on Monaco visit the Monaco Tourist Board website.
This sounds like a super destination for a short break. I will need to check it out.

Album: Sunshine Superman (1966)
Despite its cryptic psychedelic poetry ("Tangerine sky minus one kite," anyone?), this song actually has a straightforward meaning. Donovan explained in an interview with Mojo magazine June 2011: "'Ferris Wheel' was about a girl we met that got her hair caught in a Ferris Wheel and had to cut it off."
It's far from the best-known song about an amusement park ride: that honor probably goes to The Beatles "Helter Skelter."

explicitly set out in subsection 23( 1) of the CCAA. As an officer of the court, the monitor's role is to oversee the debtor's business and financial affairs and to ensure compliance with the law, court orders, and the terms of a plan of reorganization. The duties and functions of the information officer are not prescribed by the CCAA. As such, in defining the responsibilities of the information officer, the Canadian court would look to the duties of information officers in previous cases, as well as consider specific needs arising from issues in the case at hand.
In practice, the monitor, to fulfil its duties under the CCAA, is generally involved with the debtor's management team and the day-to-day workings of the case. However, the information officer may have limited access to the debtor's personnel and may need to rely on the foreign representative and its counsel for information relating to the status of the proceedings and recognition applications to the Canadian court.
Information officers and monitors are
both responsible for preparing reports to
the Canadian court that provide updates
on the status of the restructuring
proceedings and descriptions of their
activities. The other report content
differs, given the relatively limited scope
of the information officer. The monitor,
for example, would include comments
on the reasonableness of the company's
cash-flow statement and report on
actual-to-forecast variances in net cash
receipts. The monitor is also responsible
for working with the management
of the debtor company in preparing
a plan of reorganization, providing
information to creditors regarding the
claims process and creditors' meetings,
and overseeing voting at the creditors'
meetings. The information officer
would report to the Canadian court
regarding the reorganization plan, the
impact of the plan on creditors, and
voting procedures but would not be
involved in the development of the plan
of reorganization with management.
As Canadian court officers, both information officers and monitors are represented by independent counsel throughout the proceedings, their fees are subject to taxation by the Canadian court, and both are formally discharged by court order at the end of the case.
Duties of an Information Officer While the duties of the information officer are not codified in the CCAA, in practice they have developed to include the following:
Review of COMI. Absent proof to the contrary, the CCAA deems the location of the debtor's registered office to be its COMI, which can be problematic in a corporate group proceeding involving companies in multiple jurisdictions.
Before LightSquared, Canadian courts considered multiple factors to determine COMI in designating the foreign proceeding as main or non-main.
In LightSquared, the Canadian court released reasons intended to "refine" the approach taken in Massachusetts Elephant & Castle Group Inc. The court focused on three primary factors supporting the location of COMI being within the United States jurisdiction of the Chapter 11 proceedings:
1 The location is readily ascertainable by creditors
2 The location is one in which the debtor's principal assets or operations are found
3 The location is where management of the debtor
takes place
While the foreign representative would
provide evidence of COMI in its initial
application materials, the proposed
information officer's preliminary
report can add its own perspective
on these three factors to aid in the
court's determination of COMI.
Assisting the Foreign Representative. The information officer assists the foreign representative, who may not be familiar with CCAA proceedings, with carrying out its duties throughout the proceedings. For example, the information officer and its counsel will often assist the foreign representative by reviewing and commenting on draft application materials and subsequent motion materials to the Canadian court in the case.
Reporting. A key role of the information officer is to report to the Canadian court. Throughout the proceedings, the information officer should closely follow the foreign main proceedings to develop an understanding of the facts and circumstances of the main case.
The information officer is usually
In defining the responsibilities of the information
officer, the Canadian court would look to the
duties of information officers in previous
cases, as well as consider specific needs
arising from issues in the case at hand.

Home » C.P.E. Bach: Complete Works for Keyboard & Violin
Duo Belder Kimura (Rie Kimura - baroque violin & Pieter-Jan Belder - fortepiano & harpsichord)
Amsterdam-based period violin and keyboard ensemble, Duo Belder Kimura, make their Resonus Classics debut with a comprehensive and compelling survey of the complete works for violin and keyboard by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach across two discs.
Rising star violinist Rie Kimura and prolific keyboardist and recording artist Pieter-Jan Belder combine to breathe new life into these remarkable and challenging jewels of the early violin and keyboard repertoire in a collection that also includes the Fantasia in F-sharp minor, Wq. 80 and Arioso with Variations in A major, Wq. 79.
'This impressively comprehensive study of all CPE Bach's work for keyboard and violin [...] is intelligently and elegantly conveyed by the distinguished Amsterdam-based players Rie Kimura, violin, and Pieter-Jan Belder, keyboards. Recommended.'
Cover image: Photography by Rudi Wells
'The dazzling duo partnership of violinist Rie Kimura and keyboard player Pieter-Jan Belder delivers rich dividends on all musical fronts, their pooled technique truly formidable, while their mastery of CPE Bach's sound-world (which in this instance was originated over a long period) is evidently the result of careful study.'
Classical Ear (5 stars)
'[...] Pieter-Jan Belder's sparkling accounts. [...] Violinist RIe Kimura's playing is supple and stylish [...] throughout, their response to the younger Bach's rhetoric is keenly felt'
'Kimura coaxes a lyrical flexibility from her violin, its sonorous tone enhanced by her restrained but telling vibrato usage, notably in the Adagio of the C minor Sonata. [...] Belder, too, plays with a spontaneity and sense of timing that allow the music to breathe, and he negotiates the juxtaposition of figured bass and fully notated episodes in, for example, the Sonata in B minor with a degree of smooth efficiency.'
'[...] there is enough variation to keep one listening throughout, and the quality of the playing is never in doubt'

Card. De Paolis on communion for divorced, remarried: "If approved, the consequences would be of unprecedented gravity."
Posted on 11 December 2014 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf
The outline of features for the next Synod of Bishops in October 2015, or Lineamenta, has been released. The Lineamenta is based on the last Synod's final document, the Relatio Synodi. For the Relatio, the members of the Synod voted on each paragraph. According to the Synod's own rules, established and approved by those appointed by Pope Francis to run the Synod, in order to be included in the Relatio each paragraph had to receive a 2/3's majority of voting members. Some paragraphs, on Communion for the divorced and civilly remarried and on homosexuality, very controversial paragraphs, did not receive 2/3's as a sign of "consensus". They received 1/2, but not 2/3's (therefore, not "consensus"). That means that they shouldn't have been included in the Relatio Synodi. However, Pope Francis decided that they should be included anyway. He overrode the rules of the Synod. The only way you can tell that those particular paragraphs were not supposed to be included is a) to know the rules (which most people don't) and b) look at the voting stats included in the Relatio (which most people don't).
Many have the sense that those who are guiding the activities of the Synod are trying, like border collies, to drive the members of the next Synod to a predetermined position.
There is a precedent. For example, during the last Synod, there was the midpoint report on what was discussed in the first phase, the Relatio post disceptationem. Some paragraphs appeared in that midterm report, apparently written by Archbp. Bruno Forte. They concerned, for example, homosexuality. However, the paragraphs seem not to have resembled anything that was actually said by the members during the first part of the Synod. In am amazing and, for the Holy See, unusual feat of efficiency, somehow the organizers of the Synod managed – mirabile lectu – to get the midpoint Relatio translated into five languages, bound, and distributed to the members. By way of contrast, the final Relatio was released in Italian only, and then there was a provisional English version published not by the Synod office but by the Press Office. It is hard to find and riddled with translation errors.
It is hard to watch this and not wonder about manipulations that aim at a specific outcome.
In any event, the Left has not been idle since the close of the Synod last October. Watch the catholic media.
A great deal is going to take place on the rhetorical battlefield between now and the opening of the next phrase, next October.
For example, much is going to be made of the questions that are woven into the Lineamenta, questions that go to conferences of bishops for their subsequent exploration.
Among the questions…
Concerning communion for the divorced and remarried is no. 38:
"Sacramental pastoral practice with regard to the divorced and remarried requires further examination, also with the evaluation of the Orthodox practice and taking into consideration 'the distinction between an objective sinful situation and extenuating circumstances.' What are the perspectives in which to act? What are the possible steps? What are the suggestions for avoiding undue or unnecessary forms of impediments?"
One concern homosexuality is number 40:
"How does the Christian community turn its pastoral attention to families that have within them persons with homosexual tendencies? Avoiding all unjust discrimination, in what way can it care for persons in such situations in the light of the Gospel? How can it present them with the requirements of God's will in their situation?"
These are the most hotly debated questions partly because they have significant impact on other foundational dimensions of the Church's doctrine and practice.
Here is an authoritative reaction.
Today at Sandro Magister's place, one of the Cardinals who contributed to the Five Cardinals Book, His Eminence Velasio Card. DePaolis delivers some blunt words. The book was called, by the way, Remaining in the Truth of Christ: Marriage and Communion in the Catholic Church.
Card. De Paolis wrote, and I am jumping in medias res and adding my emphases and comments:
The proposition, to the extent to which it provides for the possibility of admitting the divorced and remarried to Eucharistic communion, in fact constitutes a change of doctrine. [That's it!] And this [get this…] contrary to the fact that it is said that there is no intention to modify doctrine. Moreover, doctrine by its very nature is not modifiable if it is the object of the authentic magisterium of the Church. Before talking about and dealing with any change in the discipline in force, it is necessary to reflect on the nature of this discipline. In addressing this matter one must, in the first place, reflect on this doctrine and on its level of firmness; there must be careful study of what can be modified and what cannot be modified. The doubt has been insinuated into the proposition itself when it calls for exploration, [get that?] which must be doctrinal and prior to any decision.
We can also ask ourselves if it is the competency of a synod of bishops to deal with a question like this: the value of the doctrine and discipline effective in the Church, which have been formed over the course of centuries and have been ratified with statements on the part of the supreme magisterium of the Church. Moreover, who is competent to modify the magisterium of other popes? [NB…] This would constitute a dangerous precedent. Furthermore, the innovations that would be introduced if the text of the proposition were approved would be of unprecedented gravity: [That's code for "total disaster". So, what are we talking about here? Perpend…]
a) the possibility of admitting to Eucharistic communion with the explicit approval of the Church a person in a state of mortal sin, with the danger of sacrilege and profanation of the Eucharist; [Which, if you believe in what the Church teaches about the Eucharist, is bad. Alas, many people approach the Eucharist as "they put the white thing in your hand, we sing the song, and we all feel good".]
b) doing this would bring into question the general principle of the need for the state of sanctifying grace in order to receive Eucharistic communion, especially now that a generalized practice has been introduced or is being introduced[get that? did you?] into the Church of receiving the Eucharist without previous sacramental confession, even if one is aware of being in grave sin, with all of the deleterious consequences that this practice involves; [For consequences see St. Paul's 1 Cor 11.]
c) the admission to Eucharistic communion of a believer who cohabits "more uxorio" would also mean bringing into question sexual morality, particularly founded on the sixth commandment; [Which is GOD's positive law.]
d) this would also lend support to cohabitation or other bonds, [guess what kind] weakening the principle of the indissolubility of marriage.
Blunt language for important questions in troubled times.

I can send you a dog whistle, Father. Sometimes a Border Collie walks in quite a pace and needs to slow down. So command or whistle:
If the collie is running to the left (clockwise) of the flock and you want to change direction:
Away! [go to the right]
Then, when you are satisfied with the collie's work and all is finished:
That'll do [A combination of 'here' and 'the work is done'. ]

jbpolhamus says:
What are we to make of his assertion that there was no disagreement in the Synod over communion for divorced and remarried Catholics, and that no cardinals "fought" during the Synod? That is a palpable untruth. In other words, a lie. If Bergoglio allows a situation to foment where the church purposely allows practica and doctrine to diverge, that will be the same as teaching error. And THAT will be a manifest lie. Am I alone in imagining that Bergoglio is flirting with Anti-Papacy if he continues down this road?
Can't disagree with anything the Cardinal said. jbpolhamus: if you are referring to the Pope's audience from yesterday, he didn't say there was no disagreement. He acknowledged that there were. He said he wouldn't use the word "fought" to describe how the participants interacted. That is what I have read, in translation.

anilwang says:
I think the heart of the issue lies in Pope Francis' understanding of what remarriage is. In a recent audience he spoke of the Synod and commented: So the question is "to open the doors a little bit more," he said. "Why can't they be godparents?" He said people say no because they ask "what witness will they give to their godchild?" But it could be the witness of a man and a woman who say, "Look, I made a mistake, I slipped up on this point, but I believe the Lord loves me, I wish to follow God, sin does not conquer me, but I carry on." Can there be more Christian witness than this? he asked. He compared such people to cases of "these corrupt, political fraudsters that we have" that "come to be a godparent and are married well in the church." Would the church accept such a man? And what witness would he give to his godchild? Francis concluded, "we must change things a little" in terms of behavioral norms and values.
This is where the fault line is. There are two camps. One camp sees remarriage as a grave sin, but not living in remarriage. The other camp sees living in remarriage as adultery which is a grave sin. There is no other way to parse the Pope's remarks "I made a mistake…, sin does not conquer me." Can there be more Christian witness than this?" and the equating of remarriage to "political fraudsters" which can repent and if canon law is actually enforced shouldn't be receiving communion anyway.
If you hold the first view (i.e. the Pope's view), the doctrines and canon law protecting marriage are Pharisaical burdens. If you hold the second, the doctrines and canon law protecting marriage are blessings that must be cherished even when they are difficult.
AVL says:
This scares me, that Pope Francis is pushing it through to the next Synod. :(
Also, if you aren't already writing on it, could you comment on what he said recently about animals going to heaven?
These are tough times. I would like to think the openness of this debate, as the Pope clearly desired, has shown that such contentious subjects should not be handled and discussed in this manner. Given some of the more recent comments of prominent Cardinals, there seems to be a view forming the Pope will not agree to the Kasper proposals.
If that proves to be the case, I'm left to wonder why things have been allowed to progress this far. Rather than move towards consensus, the opposite seems to have occurred. Now, there is open dissention between Cardinals and that is not a good thing. Collegiality sounds good, but it's almost always a very messy business, just as any open legislative process usually is.
JonathanCatholic says:
This is insanity. If this were any other edifice, I would say this is what institutional death looks like. When an institution no longer cares enough about consistency to officially change its stance, relying instead on indirect means (discipline) to bring about long term change (doctrine), the coffin is already being lowered. To be Catholic in these days is to allow oneself to be lead by charlatans and sophists. It is only unbending, even irrational faith that sees the Bride of Christ in this mess.
MrsMacD says:
JonathanCatholic don't forget that it looked like the end of the Messiah when Christ was crucified on calvary. The sign that 'shall be contradicted' stands 'twixt heaven and earth until the end of time. Hope in God and He will not disappoint you! He is always with us, "even to the consummation of the world." And He promised that,'the gates of Hell shall not prevail against Her!" Trust Him. He's the only faithful friend. "Fear not little flock.":
Indulgentiam says:
Infallibility does NOT equal Impeccability. There have been, shall we say…interesting characters in the Chair of Peter before now. Pope Steven VI comes to mind. And his Synodus Horrenda or Cadavar synod should serve to illustrate that no matter whose having a nutty in the barque GOD won't let us sink…cuz HE said so.
Me? I'm going to resist the urge to scream "ahhhhh! the Catholic world is coming to an end!" until, maybe, this Pope exhumes a dead Pope and puts him on trail. On that day I'll probably get drunk.
We already know how all this will end. All we have to do is live the duties of our state in life and stay in a state of grace. Which we will only accomplish by staying exceedingly close to Our Lady in Her Rosary. Of course a few more devotions, which the Church is rich in, couldn't hurt.
For as the blood of aborted children surely calls out to GOD for justice. So also the tears of countless children who are denied a home, as GOD ordains, must surely anger The GOD Who Says: " Mark 9:41. And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that amillstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea."
In charity I direct those men of GOD, directing the synod to remember Luke 12:48 "…And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more."
Eternity is a long time to spend a prisoner to the one who hates you and is the very definition of merciless.
JonathanCatholic says:"To be Catholic in these days is to allow oneself to be lead by charlatans and sophists. It is only unbending, even irrational faith that sees the Bride of Christ in this mess."
I strongly disagree. It is unbending love and rationale trust in the Word of GOD that allows us to see our beloved Bride of CHRIST.

Kathleen10 says:
Using polls to gather opinion is a pretty good way to act as if you have an overwhelming mandate to change things. Not easily able to make change without at least the pretense of it being asked for, polls give them the reason why they must act, in the predetermined way they had wanted to act all along. The change agents do, in this case, have the laity to back it up though. In most comboxes I see, there are apparently many Catholics who do want these changes, even if they never gave any of this a thought before the synod. I suspect a core of aggressive activists who know exactly what they are trying to get, using emotional rhetoric to get the easily led members of the laity to go along, and they do. The leaders in and out of the church will use the laity as convenient idiots, which we see all the time in politics, where the gullible masses are led to support all kinds of goofy things that aren't actually good for them. But they don't know, they trusted their leaders.
Heyyyy…what gives. I hit "Preview" on the right, twice, nothing happened. I hit "preview" on the left, it posted my comment without a preview. Grr.
Cardinal De Paolis statement that:
"c) the admission to Eucharistic communion of a believer who cohabits "more uxorio" would also mean bringing into question sexual morality, particularly founded on the sixth commandment"
ought be read in conjunction with the following for greater clarity's sake:
On June 24, 2000 a Declaration from the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts was issued "Concerning The Admission To Holy Communion Of Faithful Who Are Divorced And Remarried". That Declaration stated in pertinent part:
"Those faithful who are divorced and remarried would not be considered to be within the situation of serious habitual sin who would not be able, for serious motives – such as, for example, the upbringing of the children – "to satisfy the obligation of separation, assuming the task of living in full continence, that is, abstaining from the acts proper to spouses" (Familiaris consortio, n. 84), and who on the basis of that intention have received the sacrament of Penance. Given that the fact that these faithful are not living more uxorio is per se occult, while their condition as persons who are divorced and remarried is per se manifest, they will be able to receive Eucharistic Communion only remoto scandalo."
"Remoto Scandalo"
jacobi says:
Regardless of the undoubted attempts to manipulate the outcome of the second session Synod some things are clear.
1. People who have been validly married, divorced and remarried are Adulterers and are living in a state of Mortal Sin. If they receive Holy Communion without Confession and a firm purpose of amendment to change their lifestyle to a chaste one, then they commit a further Mortal Sin and possibly Sacrilege by receiving Holy Communion. Any priest (or lay distributer of Holy Communion), who administers Holy Communion to them, is complicit in the Mortal Sin and Sacrilege.
This is all quite clear.
2. Homosexual inclination is in no way sinful. However anyone who has sex outside of a valid marriage between a man and a woman is committing a Mortal Sin. That includes homosex and hererosex.
3. Questions 38 and 40 should therefore not have been included in the Lineamenta, contrary to the Synod rules.
There is clearly an attempt at manipulation going on here, and a rather crude one at that. All this is but a further example of the Dictatorship of Minorities. It is an insult to those people of homosexual inclination who heroically lead a chaste life, and to the vast majority of married Catholic who in spite of the difficulties which exist in all life-long marriages, persist in their vocation.
If concessions are made on these two issues, under the false and dishonest concept of "mercy" or "inclusion", then the Silent Schism which already exists in the Catholic Church, The Mystical Body of Christ on Earth, will erupt into a second full-blown Reformation.
And this will be deeper and more damaging than the Protestant Reformation.
St. Epaphras says:
If concessions are made allowing the divorced and remarried (sans decree(s) of nullity) to openly receive Communion, then it's likely many Catholics would agree with my Protestant relatives: "Why let a bunch of old men in Rome tell you what to do in your bedroom? It's none of their business!" Meaning that the perceived authority of the Church in moral matters would likely sink yet lower than it already has. For me the very idea and discussion of such a concession is already a huge insult and an instigator of disgust and anger bordering on contempt.
I also cannot see such a concession helping married couples want to live chastely. After all, one could think: If those at the top don't care about moral purity, why should I, right? (Earlier comment posted when I hit preview.)
Mac_in_Alberta says:

Quit picking on border collies. They are excellent dogs (and this from a person who prefers cats). They are both useful and intelligent, which puts them ahead of a lot of humans. They can be used as pets if you have the energy.
Venerator Sti Lot says:
Here's the English translation:
http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/synod/documents/rc_synod_doc_20141209_lineamenta-xiv-assembly_en.html
I see "the family founded upon the marriage between a man and a woman"has finally made its way into paragraph 3 – though a translation of "validi" as the adjective modifying "marriage" has not yet made it into the final clause of paragraph 47: "the marriage of two baptized Christians is always a sacrament."
And, as the third paragraph of the first "Questions" section, 'we Anglophones' can all now read:
"The proposed questions which follow and the reference numbers to the paragraphs in the Relatio Synodi are intended to assist the bishops' conferences in their reflection and to avoid, in their responses, a formulation of pastoral care based simply on an application of doctrine, which would not respect the conclusions of the Extraordinary Synodal Assembly and would lead their reflection far from the path already indicated."
Curiously, while these "questions which follow […] are intended to assist the bishops' conferences […] to avoid, in their responses, a formulation of pastoral care based simply on an application of doctrine, which would not respect the conclusions of the Extraordinary Synodal Assembly", the "Preliminary Question Applicable to All Sections of the Relatio Synodi" reads, "Does the description of the various familial situations in the Relatio Synodi correspond to what exists in the Church and society today? What missing aspects should be included?"
The invitation to volunteer the "missing aspects" is not governed by a comparable priority to "respect the conclusions" as that which insists on avoiding "a formulation of pastoral care based simply on an application of doctrine"? – !
And notice in question 40, a sub-question which has no original which it is translating, in the authoritative Italian source-text: "What are the responses that, in light of cultural sensitivities, are considered to be most appropriate?" !
Perhaps the translation even more than the Italian original might call to mind William Blake's line: "the lineaments of gratified desire"…
Cantor says:
If the Vatican were to decide to "change the rules" as many propose, (not the Commandment, heaven forbid, but the meaning of the Commandment), what would be the backwards ripple effect?
— Would people who are divorced/remarried suddenly be fully welcome?
— Would those who had sneaked Holy Communion suddenly be freed of the burden of mortal sin committed under "the old rules"?
— Would people in Hell suddenly be released with apologies from St. Peter?
— Would the Pope have to rescind the Papal Bull Euis Qui Immobilis, un-excommunicate Henry VIII and readmit the entirety of the Anglican/Episcopal world?
Anilwang,
I think you have made a very important distinction there. Is there a possibility of amendment, and hence sacramental foregiveness, if the consequences of the bad decision live on, or are people required to repudiate everything that followed from their bad decisions and sins? That is not an easy one, especially if 'making things right' will in itself cause damage to others as well.
I only think your conclusion (the part where canons are seen as "pharisaical burdens") is too strong, for there we need another distinction, at least in my view: whether or not a first marriage, later ended in divorce, was a proper marriage to begin with. I believe there are good arguments for the thesis that most civil marriages, being open to divorce for whatever reason, do not meet the requirements of natural marriage.
If you look at that category, I would actually concur with those who think that the burdens placed are too heavy, and "pharisaical" wouldn't be too far afield. Yet on the other side of the equation is the desire to defend a proper definition of marriage. I personally think that battle, with respect to civil definiyions of marriage, has long been lost -decades ago already. Yet it's nearly impossible to blame those who cannot yet share that conclusion.
Sonshine135 says:
The road to this point (speaking of Communion for the Divorced and Remarried) has been a clear and unchecked road. I would argue that until this point, even very Orthodox Priests have been contributors to the Kasper doctrine of Gradualism. How so? Name 3 churches in your diocese that promote Confession prior to Mass. Not once or twice a week- every Mass! How often does your Priest have homilies about the importance of receiving the Body and Blood of Christ in a state of grace? How much emphasis is placed on the true presence ala exposition of the blessed sacrament and benediction? Like Humane Vitae this rebuttal comes to little too late. By no means to I suggest that we stop, but Priests are going to have to get much bolder here. The ship has sailed, and now we are trying to get it to turn back to port rather than stopping it from sailing to begin with. I think the time is now to look at what is being taught and the examples being set, because actions speak louder than words. Are we going to treat the Body of Christ like the Body of Christ, or are we going to continue to allow churches to treat it as the "white thing" as Father suggested in his commentary?

A Georgetown study in 2007 cited 47% of Catholics didn't even know if adoration was offered- not yes, it is offered or no, it isn't offered- simply I don't know. 51% believed that missing Mass wasn't a sin! That is what we are dealing with.
Fr. Z (and/or other Italian speakers),
Would you consider helping the rest of us 'decoders' with the grammar and syntax of:
"evitando che le loro risposte possano essere fornite secondo schemi e prospettive proprie di una pastorale meramente applicativa della dottrina, che non rispetterebbe le conclusioni dell'Assemblea sinodale straordinaria, e allontanerebbe la loro riflessione dal cammino ormai tracciato"?
The English translation gives:
"and to avoid, in their responses, a formulation of pastoral care based simply on an application of doctrine, which would not respect the conclusions of the Extraordinary Synodal Assembly and would lead their reflection far from the path already indicated."
The English "which would" (set off by a comma) seems in its most obvious sense to say that the mere "formulation […] based simply on an application of doctrine" would be a failure to "respect the conclusions" and "lead" to deviation – in any and every case, rather than that particular formulations which would in fact do this should be avoided.
But what – if any – decisively clear sense does the Italian "che non rispetterebbe" (set off by a comma) and the "e allontanerebbe" (set off by another comma) have?
And, more weightily, how well is "evitando che le loro risposte possano essere fornite secondo schemi e prospettive proprie di una pastorale meramente applicativa della dottrina" translated – and is it clear from the Italian what is meant by this formulation?
(Also, how significant is it that the English includes no direct translation of "il dovuto realismo" in the Italian original?)
Gemma says:
I have a friend who works closely with many protestants. They have great concern with the direction of Pope Francis. They are not sure about him. They keep referencing him and asking questions about him and longing for Pope Benedict. If they are picking up on this , what are Catholics doing.
Gemma –
If your Protestant friends find themselves wondering what Pope Francis is doing, shake their hands and say congratulations on their being one step closer to the Church!
Absit invidia says:
Just waiting for the UPDATE that reads: "Card. De Paolis demoted to Notre Dame Cathedral tour guide."
"'the distinction between an objective sinful situation and extenuating circumstances.'"
I realize I'm late, but I can't be the only one who noticed this is a false dichotomy… The objective truth of the matter (both intrinsic and circumstantial) and the subjective culpability of the actor are one distinction, the intrinsic nature of the action and the circumstances surrounding it are another. Granted, extenuating circumstances can be extenuating precisely in that they impact culpability — but they can also be completely irrelevant not only to the intrinsic nature of the action but to the subjective culpability of the actor.
This is basic, by the way…
Caritas says:
I do not mean to downplay the importance of the issue in question here, I agree with the presentation of the gravity of the situation, but from experience in local parishes, with people I know, and concerning their marital status I think this is an issue that misses the point. the leaders who are promoting that the church change are out of touch. I do not see that the members who ar divorced and remarried without a declaration of nullify pay any attention to the rule denying communion to them, and it does not, therefore alienate them from the church. They are everywhere involved and active. The same as could be said of those who advocate abortion.
This is where the church has failed…. In teaching the morality of the issue, not in driving away those who are in this situation. It is ignored.
As for homosexuals, until the church actively teaches people the why and wherefore of sex,outside of marriage, and this issue is mute as well. Inappropriate sexuality of all kinds is equally inappropriate but is ignored while focus is on one " brand"
Changing any doctrine is an error made more grave if it too isn't taught.
It is a bait and switch about what the problem really is. A lack of teaching, not only about the "rules" but why these rules exist and why the behavior in question lies outside of true love for God and neighbor.
The remnant will be very small, but Christ promised His Church would last until He comes again….it may be underground and very, very small.

Aida L. Mancini, 76, of Mount Olive, NJ passed away on Wednesday, December 19, 2018 peacefully at home with her family by her side.
Aida was born on September 5, 1942 in Cayey, Puerto Rico to the late Guillermo and Basilisa Cedeno. She moved from Puerto Rico to Bronx, NY when she was 8 years old. She then resided in Delray Beach, Florida before finally relocating to New Jersey. She has called Mount Olive home for the past 17 years.
Aida's greatest pride & joy was being a grandmother. She helped raise all of her grandchildren and greatly impacted their journey into adulthood. Aida loved to cook, and her cooking was unmatched. She also enjoyed sewing and has created many family heirlooms, which will be passed down to future generations. Aida loved the beach, loved to cruise, and more importantly, vacationing with her family.
No matter what, time with family and friends was always time well spent.
Aida is survived by her children, Michael Mancini, Laura Cochran, and Lisa Mancini along with husband Peter Whitehouse, her grandchildren Valerie, Alyssa, Lily, Justin, Sydney, Jake, Sean, her great grandchildren, Miles and Adele, and her siblings, Juan and Carmen.

Serving the Diocese of Corpus Christi
SYNODS contributed to renewal
by By Alfredo E. Cardenas South Texas Catholic
Pope Benedict XIV, who served in the first half of the eighteenth century, described a diocesan synod as "A lawful assembly convoked by the bishop, in which he gathers together the priests and clerics of his diocese and all others who are bound to attend it, for the purpose of doing and deliberating concerning what belongs to the pastoral care."
Such a gathering has occurred twice in the 100-year history of the Diocese of Corpus Christi.
Bishop Mariano S. Garriga "solemnly" decreed that "the First Synod of the Diocese of Corpus Christi shall be celebrated in our Cathedral Church on Monday, the fourth of June, Nineteen hundred sixty-two." Perhaps coincidentally, perhaps not, it was the golden jubilee year of the diocese.
Under Canon Law in effect at the time, the bishop called the priests under his charge to an assembly to discuss matters regarding the needs of the clergy and the laity in the diocese.
At that time, a diocesan synod was required to be held once every 10 years, but nothing precluded the bishop from calling a synod more often. Participation in the synod was limited to clergy.
Special committees met and sent their recommendations to Bishop Garriga and his general committee. A copy of the proposed legislation was sent to each priest and was discussed at the deaneries. Priests voted on the proposed statutes and the results were sent to the General Committee for preparation of a final draft.
The actual synod was held at the Cathedral where the final legislation was promulgated, and became law after Bishop Garriga's signature. It should be noted that in a diocesan synod there is only one voter and only one lawgiver, the bishop of the diocese; his is the final word.
At the conclusion of the Synod, 223 statutes became binding upon the clergy, religious and laity of the diocese. Priests were called to set "an example to their people" in observing the civil law. Aside from voting they were prohibited from any political activity and could not allow parochial buildings to be used by politicians. Pastors were also called to be mindful of their pastoral obligations towards non-Catholics in their territory.
Faithful were required to register in their own parishes and fulfill their obligations in that parish. The laity was summoned to "Catholic Action" in every aspect of life and was called to participate in at least one parish or diocesan organization.
Children were to be confirmed before they completed their elementary school education. Prospective converts were granted the right to select the priest they wished to instruct them in the faith.
A scanning of the statutes adopted does not suggest any great variances from what is in place today. Which is not surprising since "under no circumstances may…a synod define any new article of faith or decide any doctrinal point in dispute…"
Twenty-six years later, on April 13-15, 1988, the Diocese of Corpus Christi held a second synod. Since this was post Vatican II, this synod had some notable differences from the first. The most obvious one was the participation of the laity.
On Oct. 25, 1985, at the conclusion of a five-day priests retreat, Bishop Rene Gracida issued a call for the second synod in the diocese with the theme "Becoming One Body." The bishop said he called the synod because it was time for "renewal of local church discipline and a time for the Diocese of Corpus Christi to more fully bring into reality the vision of the Church as called for by the Second Vatican Council."
Bishop Gracida sought to set a vision of Church ministry for the future and to establish norms and policies for pastoral ministry. He named Msgr. Leonard Pivonka Episcopal Vicar for the synod.
Msgr. Pivonka, now pastor of St. Elizabeth in Alice, said the synod was modeled after the Second Vatican Council and followed the provisions of the new Code of Canon Law adopted in 1983. It involved a lot of work over a long period, Msgr. Pivonka said.
"It was an interesting experience of the diocese being church," Msgr. Pivonka said.
After almost three years of meetings held throughout the diocese in preparation for the synod, the clergy and faithful began to file into the Bayfront Convention Center on April 13, 1988 for the convocation.
"The Church has repeatedly experienced the need to examine itself in light of the Gospel message," said Archbishop Pio Langhi, the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, in his keynote address.
"What we hope to accomplish with our synod is the preparation of our Church. We must enable the Church to be strong in its faith, life and hope," Bishop Gracida said.
The preparations for the synod had been very successful, and the assembly did short shrift with the proposed statutes completing them in two days instead of the three allocated. They adopted recommendations in 16 areas of concern, including: the diocese, the parish, priests, the permanent deaconate, liturgy, the laity, evangelization, Catholic education, Catholic health care, communications, consecrated life, ecumenism and interfaith matters, marriage and family, youth, young adults and campus ministry, spiritual life and social justice.
Results of the synod were published in a 288-page book entitled "Synod 88: Becoming one Body."
"Many parishes used them as guides but as time went on they forgot about them," Msgr. Pivonka said.

Q: TrimStart() spaces in textbox dynamically, ASP.NET MVC I'd appreciate any advice.
Let's say I have a simple @Html.EditorFor(m=>m.SomeTextField).
When user types some text into it and leaves the textBox (focusOut()) I need to shift the text to the left, so that it removes all spaces in the start.
I know I could handle focusOut event and remove spaces, but is there a better way, for example set some property to a textBox?
Thanks a lot!

A: You can do this via jquery like this
$.trim($("#textbox").val());

and you can do this on onblur event of textbox
OR
you can use Trim of C# when this value will be passed to controller
 value.Trim()

Autobahn versus magnetic levitation.
Text: Neil van der Linden
I first got to know the music of Ryuichi Sakamoto (b.1952) through the Yellow Magic Orchestra, formed in 1978, a Japanese electronic artpop ensemble of which Sakamoto was a member, responding to Euro-synthesizer-pop acts like Germany's Kraftwerk, Switzerland's Yello, Jean Michel Jarre and Donna Summer's disco music recordings with Giorgio Moroder. The Yellow Magic Orchestra or YMO as their name was often abbreviated gradually developed a style of their own, a mixture of jagged computer-generated riffs resembling computer game tunes and smooth, suave and sometimes cheesy melodies. As more and more of the electronic instruments were being made in Japan, first by imitating the American and European originals, then coming up with more advanced, reliable and userfriendly models, the members of the YMO more and more went their own way well.
Sakamoto's solo career started to soar with his magnificent role as actor in the movie Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence (1983), playing opposite David Bowie and Tom Conti, for which Sakamoto also composed the music.

Japanese culture was becoming fashionable just when the Western political leaders started to depict Japan as an economic threat to the West. In Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence Sakamoto personified a different Japan. He was likeable, good looking, easily embodying the semi-homoerotic infatuation between the characters played by him and by Bowie that is at the centre of the storyline. Musically this was even sealed in a vocal version of a piece in the soundtrack, 'Forbidden Colours', performed by Sakamoto with singer David Sylvian, frontman of the British glam-art-rock band Japan, who were toying with queer symbolism as well as hip Japanese and Chinese aestheticism in their image.
Sakamoto did more beautiful collaborations, with Sylvian and others, and he continued making soundtracks for movies like Bertolucci 's The Last Emperor and The Sheltering Sky and Alejandro González Iñárritu's The Revenant.

Swiss-Georgian composer Alexandre Kordzaia a.k.a. Kordz (b.1994) studied in Basel and at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague (with Yannis Kyriakides). In Georgia Kordzaia made a name with dance music and collaborations with the Georgian Philharmonic Orchestra. Here he worked with Asko|Schönberg, the Nieuw Ensemble and the Residentie Orkest in The Hague. Recently he wrote an adaptation of for Dutch dance ensemble Club Guy & Roni.
Kordz x Sakamoto is a collage of material mostly originating from Sakamoto's early years, including the theme song from Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence. We hear modern electronics, plus vintage electronic instruments, plus the acoustic instrumentalist of the ensemble, with Kordzaia behind the piano. Most of the music flows like a smooth machine, but sometimes disruption occurs, like drum rolls that go against the metre, and a long virtuoso and in this context deliberately alien, 'dirty' clarinet solo, by David Kweksilber.
The result sounds like Sakamoto embedded in an idiom that ASKO|Schönberg is so much at home with, of for instance Louis Andriessen. "Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence meets Andriessen's De Staat." Imagine the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra playing Bert Kaempfert, including of course masterpieces like Strangers in the Night and Living it Up (alias Theme from Kapitein Zeppos), paying homage to the tone colouring of Bruckner and Debussy at the same time. Something I would not want to miss.
Kordzaia emphasised that some of the music of the Yellow Magic Orchestra in their early years has inspired the later pioneering American techno and hiphop musicians, by interweaving techno- and hiphop-beats at certain points and making the ensemble-members rap and cheer as if they are in a houseparty.
I listened to the radio broadcast of the performance the next evening and it became clear that the music, somewhat against my initial misgivings I must admit, stood the test of being consumed as music as such. While another strong point of the live performance, which I had not yet mentioned, was absent, namely the wonderful visual installation by the Dutch light artist Boris Acket.
From back to front the cut parts of a single tree are fixed to the ceiling, its branches arching over the musicians. Above the tree, a set of LED-light screens, a metre wide, thirty metre long, stretches along the middle of the ceiling of the hall. The LEDs initially show black and white light patterns, resembling the patterns of early computergames, or white on black stripes of a highway, but soon the images become coloured, resembling landscapes gliding by in high-speed, as is we were riding the Maglev, the Japanese magnetic levitation train, the fastest in the world, with the Milky Way above us.
This association with high-tech urban transport could stand for how Sakamoto might see his evolution from emulating one of his first main influences, the 1974 LP Autobahn by Kraftwerk, to becoming an artist on his own, with the German Autobahn, the German highway, with what drives on it, German cars, once the pinnacle of Western technology, in a few decades gradually being replaced by technology often coming from the Far-East, much better suited for modern metropoles, like that of the clean and smooth Maglev. Tree-friendlier, even though for this event a tree had to be felled.
Could the tree stand for Sakamoto himself, the giant who recently was diagnosed with recurring cancer, the reason he could not be present at the festival?
The Autobahn is there itself as well.

Q: EasyMock calls hashcode when creating constructor and throwing a NullPointerException I do not understand why EasyMock automatically calls hashcode() before assigning values for properties. When I'm creating the constructor in test class, instead of setting the value for properties, it calls hashcode() that is overridden and throwing an NullPointerException.
I used EasyMock combined with PowerMock for Junittest
The code looks like as following:
Class Customer{
/**
* Creating a constructor
*/
 public Customer(String name, String familyName, B b) throws IllegalArgumentException{
         initAttr(name, familyName, b);
 }

 private void initAttr(String name, String familyName, B b) throws IllegalArgumentException{
        if (name == null || familyName == null || b == null)
              throw new  IllegalArgumentException("Invalid input");
         this.name = name;
         this.familyName = familyName;
         this.b = b;

 }

/**
*Test will call this method before setting value for properties
* so now : name and familyName is null-> throw an exception
**/
@Override
  public int hashCode() {
      // Very simple approach:
   // Using Joshua Bloch's recipe:
  int result = 17;
  result = 37 * result + this.name.hashCode();
  result = 37 * result + this.familyName.hashCode();
  return result;
}

}

I implement a test class:
@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest({Customer.class, Datutil.class})

class TestCustomer{

        void setUp{

        mockB = createMock(B.class)

       }

        @Test
       public void testConstructor(){

       //do replay()...

        a = new Customer("name","faname", mockB);//the error happens here

        //do verify()...

    }

    }

Thanks very much.
Here is the error log:

"When Malala Yousafzai was born, people shook their heads because girls were considered bad luck. But her father looked into her eyes and knew she could do anything. In Pakistan, people said girls should not be educated. But Malala and her father were not afraid. She secretly went to school and spoke up for education in her country. And even though an enemy tried to silence her powerful voice, she would not keep quiet. Malala traveled around the world to speak to girls and boys, to teachers, reporters, presidents, and queens--to anyone who would listen--and advocated for the right to education and equality of opportunity for every person. She would shout so that those without a voice could be heard. So everyone could be as free as a bird. Free as a bird is the inspiring true story of a fearless girl and the father who taught her to soar"-,Provided by publisher.
