The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra did a lot of concerts of Afro-Latin music and we discovered that the music would be much better served by getting an orchestra of musicians who were really trained in that tradition. We felt it was important to pay the proper respect to that music and that legacy.
The music world is highly commercial and only the works of the biggest artists are really well known and widely promoted. Something like 10 per cent of music accounts for 90 per cent of music sales, while the remaining 90 per cent accounts for just 10 per cent of sales ? this system could therefore herald a revolution for little-known music and artists.
My music is like a spinning ball, ... It can turn in one direction, and then it comes back to its origins.
I compose and he doesn't compose. I cannot admire the composition of his music, only a few songs are good.
For the last record, the main people who got it were either musicians or people who were into music, ... This time I wanted to make a record that my mom could listen to when she cleans house.
It's just really nice when more people listen to your music and like you, and there's nothing greater than playing a show and having the audience know your songs, ... And for practical reasons, I want to play our stuff more and provide better conditions for my band and us, and buy more instruments.
Sony should concentrate on games, movies and music and software businesses rather than hardware businesses. I'm not quite sure about their concentrating on flat-panel TVs because this is a very competitive market.
I don't personally know Michael Angelo or his music, but regarding contests and who is faster or whatever. It doesn't interest me. Trying to determine who picks more notes per second is ridiculous. What is important is the quality of the music and how well it speaks to fans who love it.
From the sight-reading abilities of the students who came to the [reading sessions], 95% of whom were not music majors, to the great questions and comments we got from students in the classes, to the amazing enthusiasm and energy of the jam session, everywhere we went we could feel the intelligence and open-mindedness of Harvard undergraduates.
We hired a friend to make a film with no sound on it that we could play the music to.
Incredible Consequence. We all love so many different kinds of music that it would be boring to have just one style.
We were really empty in our mind. When the music started, we didn't know where to restart our elements. After the coach gave us a gesture, we know where to go. Gradually, after the restart, we became more and more comfortable.
I can't imagine my new piece being world premiered in any place other than Jerusalem. The music and the city belong to each other; I only helped them meet.
My directing principle is to tone in with Tan Dun's music. I'll adopt a dichotomy to demonstrate his (the emperor's) historic achievements and faults while probing into the loneliness as a king deep in his mind.
If you nurture a beautiful garden in your heart, the singing bird will come and fill your world with beautiful music.
All truthful music is familiar to the ear, for its notes were written into our souls long ago.
This is a form of music I want to introduce to my students.
A lot of people might think folk music is dead, but it's so not.
You don't mock the importance of the event. This isn't the MTV Music Video Awards. We expect the Oscar host to be like a beloved aunt or uncle on stage playing the ringmaster to a family reunion.
In the spring, the carpet flowered amid the green, and as wind blew, it looked like music on the ground.

Long Covid: Petition calls on Germany to expedite BC007 clinical trials
September 12, 2022 September 12, 2022 Coronaheadsup.com BC007, Coronavirus, Europe, Germany, Health, Healthcare, Hospitalization, Infection, Long Covid, Research
A new petition on Change.org calls on the German government to expedite clinical trials for BC007, a promising potential treatment for Long COVID.
The Change.org petition is here
Press release from Friedrich-Alexander-Universitätm, Erlangen-Nürnberg re BC 007
ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE PETITION:
BC007 NOW- Chance of a cure for millions of suffering people
We call on the German government to financially support the approval studies of the company Berlin Cures GmbH for the drug BC 007 and to remove bureaucratic hurdles to enable an accelerated approval process.
We call on the German government to expand biomedical research on long-covid, ME/CFS and post-vaccine syndrome and to increase government funding for further clinical trials and appropriate therapies to at least 100 million euros for an initial period of 24 months.
We call on the German government to expand the long-covid outpatient clinics into interdisciplinary treatment centers, to improve the network between medical disciplines and to promote further training for physicians in the aforementioned pathologies.
We call on the German government to simplify the bureaucratic processes for social security for those affected.
In Germany alone, an estimated 300,000 people have developed myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) before the pandemic, including 40,000 children and adolescents. Recent studies show that approximately 10% of all Covid-19 infected individuals develop long or post-covid syndrome. In this context, about 40% of long-covid patients meet the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS, a severe neuroimmunological disorder. [1,2] Underlying multisystemic inflammatory processes can occur after covid-19 infection as well as after vaccination, which is referred to as post-vaccine syndrome. [3-8]
What does this mean for the people affected?
Triathletes who suddenly find themselves in a wheelchair – medical students who can no longer solve basic math problems of first grade – affected who lie in darkened rooms because of over-sensitivity to any kind of stimuli with some even receiving liquid food because they can't manage to lift their head off their pillow – thirteen-year-olds who can no longer sit upright, are carried to the toilet and have to stay away from school – people committing suicide due to the severity of the disease and the lack of therapies.
Promising drug
More than a year ago, four long-covid patients were treated with the drug BC 007 of the start-up company Berlin Cures GmbH in individual healing attempts at the University of Erlangen. With only a single intravenous administration of BC007 an enormous remission of the symptoms could be achieved, so that one could speak of a cure. A further treatment attempt of a ME/CFS patient who had been affected for years also showed efficacy and improved her condition enormously. [9,10] The effect of the drug BC007, in addition to binding the spike protein, lies mainly in neutralizing the autoantibodies against G protein-coupled receptors, which have been scientifically detected in more than 90% of the tested patients with Long Covid syndrome and are suspected to cause the symptoms. [11,12]
Common benefit of the drug for several disease pattern
Not only long-covid patients could benefit from BC007, but also ME/CFS and post-vaccine affected. This can be explained by the fact that these clinical pictures show great similarities. To validate the efficacy of BC 007, a large clinical trial is currently being intended by the company Berlin Cures GmbH. [13] However, due to missing financial and administrative support from the German government the approval of the drug may still drag on for many years. Time that those affected do not have!
When compared internationally, Germany invests very little money in research into the disease patterns. Even the action plan presented by the German Society for ME/CFS and Long Covid Germany is not being implemented as called for. This leaves millions of severely ill people who are left alone with their suffering without effective therapies and medical care. This is not only tantamount to a failure to provide assistance, but also represents the quietest humanitarian disaster in the world!
The demands of the petition are in the interest of the entire population, since Long-Covid can affect anyone and represents an extreme burden for our health and social system. The loss of countless workers due to illness over a long period of time, or even forever, also causes considerable damage to the economy. If you have the same goals as we do, sign and spread this petition.
Do not look away!

On December 9, 2019 Mark published a video entitled When Dad Tries To Win Mum A Christmas Number 1. In the video he says: "If I can pull it off it will be the best Christmas present ever and I'm going to do it so I can hopefully raise a lot of money for charity. "So I've called in a few favours and I've got in touch with a mate who's a producer and I'm going to try and get Rox a Christmas number one as my present to her..." The track was released on Friday, December 14, in aid of poverty charity The Trussell Trust and then bagged the top spot. LadBaby is a Youtubber known for his festive tunes Who is favourite for Christmas number one 2019? Ladbaby is tipped to scoop the festive number one spot AGAIN for a second year in a row.

Coral's John Hill: "The wave of support behind LadBaby in our betting suggests to us the Youtube star will net the UK number one single for the second straight year "Just like in 2018, we have seen a huge gamble since the start of the week so it looks like many punters will have an early Christmas present off the bookmakers." LadBaby has an army of fans Credit: Instagram Does LadBaby have any other songs? He's just has the two songs - I Love Sausage Rolls and We Built This City...on Sausage Rolls. But after the success of these two singles, he is sure to release more.

The prankster, whose real name is Mark Hoyle, took the festive crown in 2018 with his charity cover of Starship's 'We Built This City' called We Built 'This City... on Sausage Rolls'. And it looks like the 32-year-old could be in for a second UK Christmas No. 1 with his new track 'I Love Sausage Rolls', with SkyBet putting him above Stormzy and Jarvis Cocker. The UK Christmas No. 1 is set to be announced on Friday, December 20 at 5.45pm on BBC Radio One. Who is LadBaby? Mark is originally from Nottinghamshire but now lives in Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire with wife Roxanne and their two sons, Phoenix Forest and Kobe Notts, according to NottinghamshireLive. Before turning to vlogging, Mark worked as a graphic designer in London. He rose to fame in 2016 when Roxanne was pregnant with their first son. He created a blog called LadBaby where he documents his day-to-day life as a dad. (Image: Daily Record) His YouTube and Facebook channels mainly feature videos showing life hacks which help him and the family save money. In 2017, one of his videos showing how he used a toolbox as a lunchbox for his son went viral. As of December 2019, his YouTube channel has 766,000 subscribers while his Facebook page has 3.4m likes. On December 14, 2018, the family released 'We Built This City... on Sausage Rolls', with all profits going to food bank network Trussell Trust. The sausage roll-themed track debuted at No.1 in the UK Singles Chart that week, beating Ava Max and Ariana Grande to the UK Christmas No.1. - making LadBaby the first British YouTuber to top the chart. In June 2018, an online vote saw Mark scoop Clas Ohlson's Celebrity Dad of the Year award, beating the likes of Prince William, Rio Ferdinand and Simon Cowell. Nine months later, Roxanne won Clas Ohlson's Celebrity Mum of the Year award, beating Kate Middleton. Roxanne now also has a sizable following of her own thanks to her page Ladbaby Mum. (Image: Joseph Raynor/ Nottingham Post) In November, the couple released their first book 'Parenting for £1... and other budget hacks'. 'I Love Sausage Rolls' was released on December 13 and the parody version of the Joan Jett hit is raising more money for Trussell Trust, with Mark hoping the track will double the number of donations made last year. Its video, which features Roxanne and their sons, has already been viewed more than 5.3million times. If the odds are correct it would mean Nottinghamshire-born Mark would be the first artist to achieve back-to-back UK Christmas No. 1s since the Spice Girls.

A recent survey by app security specialist Promon has revealed that mobile users are generally unaware of cyber threats, with an overwhelming 89% of respondents admitting they would not know if their device had been infected through a cyber attack.
Users' lack of awareness of mobile threats presents a significant challenge for businesses across every sector, meaning companies need to take extra steps to secure their customers' data, said Promon.
Avoiding accessing important information via publicly shared Wi-Fi connections was believed to be enough to protect their mobile devices from cyber attacks by 41% of respondents, while 27% rely on security apps. However, 22% of survey respondents admitted that they did not take any steps to protect their mobile devices against cyber threats, which underlines the scale of the issue.
The study shows that passwords remain the most popular security measure, with 43% of respondents relying on them to protect their smartphones from cyber attacks. This is despite numerous recent cases of password hacking, including accounts on Dropbox, Last.FM and Netflix, and repeated calls from industry leaders to update security measures.
In addition, a recent Symantec report found that the number of new mobile vulnerabilities increased last year by 214% compared to 2014.
"This highlights the urgent nature of the problem. With the number of mobile vulnerabilities on the rise and users so unaware of the dangers, businesses are caught in the middle of the battlefield, and it is their own reputations that are at stake," said Birkeland.
The same survey revealed that almost half of the respondents, 41%, believe that banks are in charge of their mobile banking apps' security. It also showed that 64% of respondents do not believe they are responsible for the security of their mobile banking apps. According to Birkeland, this is a key indicator of the need for businesses to take steps to defend their own apps, rather than relying on the safe browsing habits of their users.
Birkeland concluded: "It is paramount for businesses to take responsibility for securing their own data now, with the increased likelihood of mobile cyber attacks and users' lack of awareness of how to combat these threats. It is impossible for banks and businesses to teach their customers how to behave safely overnight.

I would say what's changed is the carefully curated publicly projected image of a lot of EEEN-DEEE-PEN-DUNCE voters. Many of them are rushing to put distance between themselves and their shameful record of approval.
Ex. http://horsesass.org/zopen-threaz/#comment-1388155
Which leaves strident partisan hacks with a tough choice. Same tough choice they had in 2016 as they watched their "mainstream" candidates fall one by one. As the phony EEN-DEE-PEN-DUNCE quietly scrape the "W" "TRUMP" stickers off their pickups and dig their Gadsden flags and tea bags out of the storage unit the Ride-or-Die Trumpers are beginning to feel more and more isolated. This was all foreseen and foreseeable. They were warned. Still etc.
Somebody out there in media land gets it:
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/09/hunter-bidens-legal-socially-acceptable-corruption/598804/
Moreover, Hunter Biden is not running for President.
Perfectly legal. Perfectly uncool.
People don't just sell their names in these situations. Some of them you've never heard of sell access, and real solutions. Remember that before 2016 you'd never heard of Paul Manafort or Mike Flynn. But Manafort was successfully brokering access to US legislation, and money laundering to these people, and Flynn was selling NATO connections and kidnap-for-hire schemes to people just like them. Sadly most of that was perfectly legal. And had they never gone to work for a Presidential campaign they would not be convicted felons today.
But that isn't what should worry us the most. Rosemont Senneca, Skadden Arps, and Black Manafort and Stone were engaged in an old-school form of influence brokering that is rapidly being replaced by technology that we have yet to fully comprehend. The next Rwandan type crisis will likely be sparked by apps and bot-nets, with the machetes delivered by Amazon drone. And democratically elected governments are already being held hostage by privately controlled technology companies. Why hire multi-million dollar consultants to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes when you can get the same results out of an apartment building filled with borscht-fueled, pimply script kiddies.
YeS, a full record exists. Yes, it was for some reason deemed top secret. Ye, efforts were made to keep the record from any kind of oversight.
I want you to close your eyes. Imagine a president on the phone. Imagine a foreign leader asking for defense aid and specific weapons systems. Imagine that President says, "We need a favor, look into this guy who just happens to be running against me."
Do you have it in your mind?
Now imagine the president is black.

Rapey Epie's attorney…
"ofmaryk" can fantasize Ken being in the jacuzzi w/ Bill..
One thing to keep in mind as this "panic" unfolds.
Most of this was probably planned to some extent.
WH, etc. all knew the exposure of the smear campaign was coming as far back as early August. They probably hoped to control it and bring it out very differently. And they are left a little behind the eight ball as far as managing the spin and media perception.
But they were certainly planning on following through with Rudy's Wild Ride, perhaps hoping to keep this all under wraps until next summer. Learning about the WB complaint in early August would have forced them to revise all that. But they still see this as operational ratfuckery precisely on a par with Buttery Males/BENGHAAAZEEEEEEEE!! etc.
So even as they appear to be lashing out wildly and possibly turning on each other, bear in mind that some kind of planning went into all this. So, for example, when you read in Politico that Rudy is telling them "exclusively!!!" that this all started with a confidential "tip" from a highly qualified and deeply trusted "private investigator", well guess what? That's bullshit.
This started just like the other one, with a phony book deal set up for Peter Schweizer by Steve Bannon paid for by the Mercers. Only this time instead of Clinton Cash it's Secret Empires. And the big difference is that this time, rather than contracting to have the NYT and WaPo tease the bullshit into the public consciousness Bannon figured why not use the power of the office. Enter Rudy, and the rest as they say, is soon to be history.
There is no top secret, covert, super-spy, private investigator feeding tips to Mayor Idiot. Just Steve Bannon, 8chan, Qanon, and Barnes and Noble. They've had a cover story prepared for nearly a year. Just because they are sweating and stuttering as they tell it doesn't make it more credible.

He pitched well last night.. His change-up could still fool hitters.. As usual, the bats couldn't show up for him. At least some good plays were made in the outfield.
Yes, his best days are most likely behind him..
But he spent those best days here in Seattle, pitched a perfect game (right here in Seattle), got a Cy Young and the fans enjoyed seeing it all.
'95, 2001 – we've seen some good baseball here in Seattle. The best may be yet to come.

I absolutely love that right now, as subpoenas are being issued for the criminal conspirators, the single greatest concern occupying the fever dreams of every single Republican you know is that Adam Schiff was "too sarcastic".
Call me naive, but I feel like maybe "tone policing" isn't gonna do it this time.
He pitched well last night.. His change-up could still fool hitters..
He gave up 3ER in 5.1. Was down 3-0 after two. 4BB, 3K.
He dug a hole his offense has shown no ability to climb out of in 2019. That's pitching barely adequately not well.
The smell of borscht is everywhere.

This weekend a Bill Kristol group will be air dropping $1 million ad buy targeting (R)s in Congress calling on them to condemn orange hooting baboon man.
I'd count that as measurable progress for conservatives at this point. But as I've said before, only when they begin condemning the supporters and enablers, particularly the vulnerable ones, will they have made any kind of a start on the road to redemption.
Calling out Trump is easy, and hacks like Kristol have already been doing it for years. Because for them it's perfectly safe.

Demorat Pornstar Party Of Hate America & Brilliant Hoaxes News- Too bad that your Fartblower hoax is backfiring so miserably. Only Demorats would be arrogant & stupid enough to pick a hoax that attracts attention to Demorat corruption, now it looks like your dear Obama is implicated along with good old Joe.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, now a 2020 Democratic presidential contender, has locked into a specific story about the controversy in Ukraine.
He insists that, in spring 2016, he strong-armed Ukraine to fire its chief prosecutor solely because Biden believed that official was corrupt and inept, not because the Ukrainian was investigating a natural gas company, Burisma Holdings, that hired Biden's son, Hunter, into a lucrative job.
There's just one problem.
Hundreds of pages of never-released memos and documents — many from inside the American team helping Burisma to stave off its legal troubles — conflict with Biden's narrative.
And they raise the troubling prospect that U.S. officials may have painted a false picture in Ukraine that helped ease Burisma's legal troubles and stop prosecutors' plans to interview Hunter Biden during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
For instance, Burisma's American legal representatives met with Ukrainian officials just days after Biden forced the firing of the country's chief prosecutor and offered "an apology for dissemination of false information by U.S. representatives and public figures" about the Ukrainian prosecutors, according to the Ukrainian government's official memo of the meeting. The effort to secure that meeting began the same day the prosecutor's firing was announced.
In addition, Burisma's American team offered to introduce Ukrainian prosecutors to Obama administration officials to make amends, according to that memo and the American legal team's internal emails.

What's most hilarious about SteakSauce is you won't find that many people mourning if Joe isn't the nominee or is embroiled in some larger faux scandal.
But Donald appears to have committed multiple felonies in a short period of time while the NutJob media might be able to tarnish Joe's reputation.
Steak Sauce is squeezing apples to try to make a mimosa.
Fine by me if this scandal takes out Joe and Donald and they share a prison cell together. Maybe they can be in the Talent show with Felicity and Lori. I'll even spring for the garbage can fermented hooch for the cast party.
I remember Lou Piniella saying it was reasonable for a starting pitcher to hold the opposing team to 4 runs.
The bats have got to show up.. Is that the fault of Felix being overpaid? I kinda recall the front office had Felix, Cano and Nelson Cruz all on the payroll at one time..
No, he's not the pitcher he was and detractors at this stage expect him to work miracles. Whatever..
White House also sent conversations between Donald/Putin and Mohammed Bin Salman to the 'secret server' avoiding scrutiny even by administration staff and intelligence personnel with high level security clearances.
And apparently House/Senate intel chairs who ordinarily would have clearance.
Aaaaaand we find out what 'Multiple events' might mean.
The cray-cray coming from the always wrong wing #cult45'ers – damn it makes your head spin…
Yes, Virginia, this country is really f'ed up.. It'll be a miracle if it survives past Nov 2020..
@28 Not much love for Biden here, but at least he's way better than the treasonous idiot in the WH. My top 4 are Warren, Harris, Buttigieg and Booker.
No matter who the Democrats nominate, the GOP will achieve peak hate in 2020. We haven't seen anything yet.

If you want to get a sense of how dysfunctional normally little noticed government agencies have become under Donald…Take the FEC. Much has been made of not naming replacements on the board so there is no regulatory body keeping an eye on the 2020 elections which the more cynical assume is exactly the point and…
The agency puts out a weekly memo of all items taken up by the commission. It's available online. It is essentially a summary of all files that are publicly available elsewhere through the FEC if one really cared to dig hard enough.
This week an item was to appear "Draft Interpretive Rule Concerning Prohibited Activities Involving Foreign Nationals"
GOP Commission member Caroline Hunter objected to including that bit of business (unusual since the weekly brief is ALL business that came before them in the week) so she took the really unprecedented step of stopping the release of the summary memo of ALL business on the FEC.GOV website. In the absence of a working, full membership commission she can do that.
Well FEC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub spent her workday creating a twitter stream of 55 entries including everything that should have been in the weekly summary with links to the original documents that can be found on the FEC Website. It's information that should be really easy for the public (god have mercy on your soul if you read this stuff for fun) and the press to peruse via the weekly summary.
Bravo. Job well done. You earned your paycheck. Keep up the good work.
So in just three days we've learned….
Donald demanded implied that defense aid and U.S. missile purchases to Ukraine were dependent on Ukraine reopening a closed investigation of the current Democratic Presidential front runner.
White house lawyers moved to have that conversation shielded from normal security clearances.
US Justice Dept and AG Bob Barr, aware of an official whistle blower complaint about the implication of held defense aid to Ukraine unilaterally decided that although the complaint was lawfully filed it fell outside the federal law that states that such cases "SHALL BE" forwarded to Congressional oversight committees.
Not a single bit of this is disputed by the Administration. In fact they have confirmed these statements.
But because the whistle blower may have used second hand information as the basis of the report, none of the above is true.
Doublethink goodspeak bellyfeel among the GOP and their media.

And Then Things Got Weird….
"Fred Barnett (a.k.a. Infinity Upton-Downes) started his writing career at age 840, established a world-wide following after penning twenty-seven books of his Tragic Lust series, which he had started in 1687. The main body of his "bodice-ripping" TL romances were completed during his thirteen years at Screamin' Jay Hawkins Insanitarium.
Shark Stories — a bloody good read!
SHARK STORIES is not the typical book one encounters at the school book fair, say next to the ones about dinosaurs and the solar system. For that matter, neither is the book's author Fred Barnett the sort who might monotone on about dorsal fins and the like at the same function.
No, Virginia, this is not your typical National Geographic offering on sharks and Fred Barnett just might be channeling both cartoonist Gary Larson and gonzo-journalist Hunter S. Thompson.
Imagine all of that for 10 bucks, plus a Bud Spindt cover illustration!

Alexander the Great and the Greek waiter
'I foresee a great funeral contest over me'. Alexander the Great
On 13 June 323 BC, in a room surrounded by his doctors, Alexander the Great died of a fever.
Some said he had been poisoned by the Macedonian general Antipater. Others that the death of their commander was due to excessive drinking.
But it is more likely that the conqueror of Egypt, Persia, and Asia Minor as far as the banks of the Hyphasis in India, where he wept that there were no more kingdoms for him to conquer, was carried away by the humble mosquito, a victim of West Nile fever or of malaria.
Alexander's body was barely cold when it was embalmed and placed in a human shaped sarcophagus filled with honey.
But what to do with it then?
Alexander's wish was that they toss the body in the river!
But his wife, Roxanne, and one of his generals, Perdiccas, decided to evoke the wishes of his mother, Olympias, and transport the remains for burial in the family crypt at Aegae in Macedonia.
A sumptuous funeral carriage was constructed, fashioned out of beaten gold, the top adorned with mother-of-pearl and precious stones. It took one year to complete and needed sixty-four mules to pull it.
But while on route to Aegae it was hijacked by Ptolemy, one of Alexander's generals!
Ptolemy took it to Egypt and Alexander's body was buried in Memphis.
Alexander's mortal remains remained in Memphis until the late fourth or early third century BC, and then were taken to a new burial place in Alexander, the city bearing the conqueror's name.
But they did stay in this place. At some time during the reign of Ptolemy Philopator, from 222/21 to 205 BC, they were taken to a communal mausoleum, also in Alexandria, and placed with the bodies of Ptolemy Philopator's dynastic predecessors.
And there they stayed. The future Roman Emperor Augustus is said to have visited the tomb around 30 BC and placed a golden diadem on Alexander's mummified head. And the last recorded visit to the tomb was by the Roman Emperor Caracalla in AD 215.
By the fourth century AD all trace of the location had been lost to posterity.
But modern-day Indiana Joneses have not given up the search. For generations streams of distinguished archaeologists from renowned institutions have made their way to Alexandria in the hopes of being the first to claim one of the antiquity's greatest prizes.
And among them, lost in the throng, was a lowly Greek waiter, Stelio Koumoustos, from Christiana Konstantinou's cafe-bar in downtown Alexandria.
When not serving black tea and Turkish coffee to Mlle Christiana's customers, Stelio was out digging holes wherever he could.
Then, in 1960, convinced that the tomb lay buried beneath Alexandria's Saad Zaghuil Square, he persuaded the United Arab Republic's Department of Antiquities to excavate the site.
Using his salary and his waiter's tips Stelio raised the sum of 500 Egyptian pounds to finance the dig.
The newspapers got interested, among them the The Times of London.
On Monday 4 April 1960 The Times reported that the excavation had officially begun. Traffic was stopped and large crowds gathered.
The work continued apace, and then, on Tuesday 26 April, the diggers make a discovery!
But alas it was not Alexander's tomb they had found. Only water. Lots of water.
Then the work stopped, The Times lost interest, and Stelio returned to clearing tables in Mlle Christiana's cafe.
Stelio kept searching for a couple more decades but never found the elusive tomb of Alexander.
He finally returned to Greece where he tried to share his carefully amassed data in exchange for a pension in dollars and a Mercedes-Benz.
As a graduate student commented, it would have been a small price to pay for the location of the tomb of a legend that was truly worthy of the name.

Update this blog on a more regular basis. Aiming for at least once a week.
Get back on the diet. Halfway dieting doesn't cut it.
Finally join a gym. Water aerobics = a must.
Go through my expenses and see which are actually necessary. Get rid of those that aren't. Saving money=good.
Get my passport. This is the one resolution I KNOW I will complete, since I need it to visit Emily again.
Obviously – I'm already not doing so good at #1. Technically, I wrote most of this last week, but just forgot to finish it and post it. Which is half my problem a lot of the time.
I also came up with a to-do list, things that aren't resolution worthy, but I need to get done. Number one on that list, redesign this blog, as well as my myspace and my other websites. Hmm. Maybe "improve my php skill" should be on the resolution list?
It took about a week, but my iPod finally stopped being haunted. I still haven't figured out where those songs came from. I even sat there and scrolled through every single song on the iPod (all 767 at the time) and the songs it was playing were no where to be found. Christmas just wasn't ready to let me be yet, I guess. The iPod is starting to break, though: the headphone jack no longer works. I can still play it, though – since the dock I charge it in at work has a headphone jack, and the car plugs into the other end. It really needs to be replaced, but since they aren't making the mini anymore — I guess I have to upgrade to a bigger iPod. Which, that isn't an issue really. I need a bigger one. This little 4GB just doesn't cut it anymore. I just can't afford a new one, and I can't find my receipt for this one (I have the extended warranty/replacement plan on it). Guess I'll just have to save up and wait until it's completely dead before getting a new one.
My phone is also acting up, and this makes me very unhappy. Well, technically T-Mobile's customer "support" makes me very unhappy. Back in November, I blogged (5th paragraph) about the problems I was having with my RAZR. They replaced it and the sim card so the replacement is only about 2 months old now. It was barely a month old when I began having similar problems to the one that had just been replaced. Nothing as severe, but the display has messed up repeatedly, amongst a few other problems.
One of the other issues: my old RAZR had been set up so that I could access "t-zones" and download ring tones from the web, etc. After getting the new phone, I had made a few tones via Phone Sherpa, and tried to send them to my phone, but my phone wouldn't connect and download them. The people at Phone Sherpa were nice and knew what the issue was (the WAP profile isn't set on my phone like it should be) and pointed me to a certain help area on T-Mobile's site to get it fixed. When I saw all the steps, I remembered having done it with my first RAZR, so I figured it would be easy. Wrong. I go through the steps, and can't go past a certain point. The directions tell me to access a menu that isn't available on my phone. I've been going back and forth with T-Mobile's customer "support" for the past 15 days now, and have gotten absolutely no where. I do have many copies of the same form letter though! The last tech to attempt to help me informed me that the web sessions menu (the one I am missing) is not available at all on the RAZR, and that my phone should already be set up to work. Um, if it was set up to work, I wouldn't be having the problems. Not to mention the fact that it's T-Mobile's OWN site that tells me I need to access that menu, on a RAZR. The guy also referred me to the RAZR user manual — and in that manual it shows that the menu IS available on the phone. They supposedly referred me to a Senior Rep on the 7th, but I am still waiting to hear back. I've even emailed twice since then asking why I haven't heard from them yet.
I really need to replace the phone for all the display and other technical problems, but I've been hesitant to do so. I know T-Mobile will just send me out another RAZR, and I don't want one. I don't like the phone anymore, and I have no faith that a 3rd one would have any less issues than the first two. I was considering calling their support people to see if they would replace it with a different model at no charge, and without a contract extension, since it's not working right. I went into one of the T-Mobile stores to see the phones they offer right now, and none of them really grabbed me as "must have" or even "maybe this would work". I looked at a bunch of different phones, and one I liked is one that a friend has and loves. The only problem – it's a Cingular phone, not T-Mobile.
I searched eBay and kept my eye on several auctions. I ended up winning one on Tuesday night, and won the phone for a fairly cheap price. Now I'm the owner of a Cingular 3125 Smartphone. The phone should be here over the weekend, then I just have to get an unlock code to unlock it so I can use it on T-Mobile, and hopefully I'll be good to go. Keep your fingers crossed!

Raisen: The local people and the civic body staff in Madhya Pradesh's Raisen district were in for a surprise during a drive to clean a small ancient pond.
The 500-year-old pond near Kile wali Pahadi in the city's ward number 6 was full of silt and foul-smelling water.
The locals narrated this problem to the municipality chairman Jamna Sen and subsequently pond cleanliness drive was launched in which citizens also actively volunteered.
During digging of the pond, the residents came across a 40 kg tortoise. The tortoise was handed over to the forest department. Sajjad Mansoori and Saeed Mansoori saw the tortoise while cleaning the pond.
People brought the reptile out of the pond and carried it to Mishra Talab on a handcart. However, they did not release it there in view of its safety. Later the forest department was informed.
Beat in-charge SK Shukla arrived on the spot. He said the tortoise is about 20-year-old and weighs more than 40 kg. He said it would be released at a suitable and safe location.

Q: How to get original statusText with jQuery I try to access the statusText on a post back to the server when an error occured. On the server side I'm setting the status text to an error message. StatusCode is 500 and statusText the error description.
Chrome console output inside the Headers section is:
Status Code:500 (big red dot) Error Message: Something went wrong.

But when I try to access the statusText now inside of the .error() function callback there is always the text "error":
.error(function (xhr, text) {
    alert(xhr.statusText);
});

Is jQuery overwriting this field or how can I access the original values?
Thanks for help!

A: I think you need to see the 3rd argument to the callback, it should be the HTTP status text. (according to the jQuery API documentation for the error callback)
function (xhr, ts, err) {
    // ts  => "error", "abort", etc (jQuery-specific)
    // err => HTTP error from server
}

Travelers Aid: Angels of the Iron Age
Posted on December 26, 2021 by hometown
If you think traveling by airliner can be a challenge early in the twenty-first century, you can appreciate what a challenge traveling by train could be early in the twentieth century.
As the new century began, Fort Worth was served by nine railroads at two passenger stations: the Texas & Pacific and the Santa Fe, both opened in 1899. Train stations were the airports of the Iron Age: crowded, confusing, chaotic.
In 1909 the local YWCA began a program to assist one type of train passengers at the T&P station: A "guide for girls" service helped young female passengers traveling alone secure accommodations and employment.
But that niche service quickly evolved into a travelers aid service for all passengers. Each day hundreds of passengers got off trains at the two stations, and many of them needed help: people overwhelmed by their first trip on a train, children traveling alone, elderly people, people with physical challenges, people who were the victim of theft and other crimes while traveling, people from foreign countries coping with a strange currency, customs, and language.
There to assist them all was the YWCA. Below is a sample of the kind of aid rendered by four angels of the Iron Age.
Mae Wright worked at the T&P station. In 1912 she aided 3,349 women and children.
She gave the Star-Telegram a synopsis of her work: "We save many young girls from being insulted while waiting in the station. For there are officers [see below] near at hand ready to respond to our call. Our duties are not easy. We meet all trains and stand so we can see all who pass through the station. One must be strong, able to stand noise and confusion, exposed to cold and bad weather. . . . Aids must be intelligent and have tact and know how to be friendly and sympathetic and cheerful at all times. . . . We must deal with the foreigner—Polish, Greek, Swede—those who cannot talk our language and by signs make their wants known. Even those of our own nation, who can easily make their troubles known, come into our station, are bewildered and at their wits' end. The troubles of the passenger are many. They lose their tickets or money. The person they expect to meet them doesn't come; they have only a hazy recollection of the address to which they were going. They come seeking work in our town without money or friends, having no idea when or where a meal or a night's lodging may be had or how their difficulties can possibly be solved."
A century ago, in what many people today would consider reckless parenting, children were put onto trains to travel long distances unescorted. At best the children wore fastened to their clothing a tag bearing their name and contact information for the sending and/or receiving party.
That was the case when Wright helped a girl of nine taking her first train trip—unescorted across six states.
Blind children attending the state school in Austin also passed through the T&P station.
When a boy of ten lacked the money to buy a ticket home to Chicago, Wright passed the hat among waiting passengers.
She also helped a young Russian wife and a German girl.
And after a thief stole the pocketbook of a young German woman traveling from Galveston to Kansas City, Wright took her in.
Another angel at the T&P station was Mollie Wolf. In January 1910 she aided two hundred travelers.
Wolf helped siblings five and ten years old traveling two thousand miles on their own.
And when a "penniless" girl of thirteen, traveling alone from Missouri, was not met at the station by her aunt, Wolf took the girl in.
In 1912 the YWCA added a travelers aid service at the Santa Fe station. In the first year Mary McMillan aided twenty-five hundred travelers, mostly young girls traveling alone, mothers, the elderly, and the physically challenged.
Eva Schooler had been on her own since she was ten, "roughing it," riding freight trains, dressing as a man, associating with "hoboes" and "crooks." She came to McMillan for help. "I'm tired of wandering about. I want to lead a different life."
When a boy of eleven, traveling alone and "without funds," was not met at the station by his sister, McMillan found accommodations for him until his sister could be located.
Young females traveling alone by train were a special concern of the YWCA's travelers aid program because of "white slavery": Predatory men befriended young girls traveling alone on trains and steered them into prostitution.
In 1913 Mary McMillan warned Justice Robert F. Peden that someone was providing girls with train tickets to various parts of the state. Authorities suspected that men working for hotels "of low character" were giving train tickets to girls so the girls could travel to the hotels, ostensibly to take legitimate jobs. McMillan feared that white slavers were taking advantage of a loophole in the federal anti-white slavery law, which outlawed sending girls to brothels but not to hotels.
So acute was the problem that in 1913 Universal Studios produced the film Traffic in Souls, portraying the social problem of white slavery.
Also in 1913 Fort Worth formed the Anti-White Slave Association because of growing concern that the city was becoming a center of white slavery.
The Fort Worth Police Department also contributed to the social work performed at the train stations: The department commissioned three travelers aid workers as "special officers": Eva McCorkle, Ella Jones, and Mrs. R. C. Vernon. These three women were angels with an edge: Each was issued a badge and a pistol and had all the powers of a police officer, including the power to arrest suspects and to detain potential victims of crime for their own safety.
Ella Jones said of her pistol, which she kept in her desk drawer: "If it became necessary I would not hesitate a moment to use it. Usually a kind word turns away wrath. I might say that almost always the kind word turns away wrath, but if it should fall, and it came to this pistol I could blaze away without fear. I am afraid of no man, no matter what size or color because I know that in this work we have God on our side."
When a girl of three arrived unescorted at the station, Jones cared for her until the girl could travel on to Dallas for adoption. The child had one penny—all that was left of a quarter that a fellow passenger had given her on the train from Oklahoma.
Jones also found herself the temporary guardian of a baby girl whose mother could not care for her.
When a pickpocket stole the money and train ticket of a girl of twelve, Jones arranged for the girl to stay with the girl's brother in Fort Worth.
When a girl of fifteen ran away from home and got off the train at the T&P station, she told Jones that she had come to town to find work. But when Jones telephoned the girl's father, he said she had run away from home to get married. Jones sent the girl to the Fort Worth Relief Association until her father could arrive to fetch her.
In 1916 special officer Jones aided 5,930 passengers at the T&P station. She kept a log of her activities. Here is a sample of her entries for August and September:
Aug. 4—Girl fainted in waiting room. I bathed her face and attended her until her train for Mineral Wells arrived.
Aug. 4—A passenger on Texas & Pacific train reported to me that a man had been flirting with a young girl on the train and they got off here. I found them. The man ran when I approached them. I kept the girl in the waiting room until her train came.
Aug. 11—Little girl from a [Fort Worth &] Denver train ran up to me at the gate and said a strange man had taken a seat beside her on the train and then followed her into the station. She pointed him out, but he walked hurriedly off when he saw me.
Aug. 19—Young girl came to my desk and asked if she could stay overnight on her ticket. I told her the ticket would not permit it and she returned to a seat. A man came up and began to talk to her. I took her into the ladies' room and told her she must not talk to strange men. At first she said he was her husband. I knew better. Then she confessed he was a man she had met on the train, and he had asked her to stay over and go to a picture show. The man disappeared. I kept the girl until train time, and then placed her in charge of the conductor.
Aug. 20—Gladys B— came to me looking for a rescue home. She was without money. This was a sad case.
Aug. 28—Woman in Barstow wired me to meet her daughter, who was to change cars for Pilot Point. I recognized the girl and put her on the right train.
Aug. 29—I put a girl, 14, traveling alone and frightened, on a Texas & Pacific train.
Aug. 31—A woman, without money, with a very sick child, appealed to me. I did all I could for the child, and then put them on their train.
Aug. 31—Little girl, 8, arrived on train and no one was here to meet her. I tried all day before I located her relatives in Fort Worth. Another woman with three small children could not find her relatives. I finally located them.
Sept. 7—Saw a man talking to a young girl in the station. I called her off, and asked who the man was. She didn't know, and that it was none of my business, anyway. I kept her until her train came.
Sept. 18—Put very ignorant country girl who had never been away from home before, on the [Fort Worth &] Denver train for Childress.
Sept. 19—Put a little girl, 8, on train for Longview. She had traveled all alone from Portland, Ore.
Sept. 28—Caught Nellie M— from Snyder who came here to meet a man she said was her brother-in-law. Finally said he was a man who was to meet her here and take her to Madill, Okla. I found a letter in her grip in which this man had sent her money with which to make the trip. I sent her to Relief Association, and her father was wired for. He came for her. She realized her mistake, and thanked me for what I had done before she left for home.
Sept. 29—Put old lady, 89, on Texas & Pacific train. She had slept in the station all night, making her a pallet with quilts on the floor of the waiting room.
Sept. 29—Assisted man with his paralyzed wife.
Sept. 30—Put girl, 7, who was totally blind, on the train for Austin.
Sept. 30—Took two girls, 14 and 18, away from two drunken soldiers, and put them on a street car for their homes.
In most cases a flash of the badge by Ella Jones and the other special officers was enough to cause men who approached young girls in a station to walk quickly toward the nearest "exit" sign.
In 1930, after twenty-one years of helping tens of thousands of passengers, the YWCA's angels of the Iron Age passed the halo to the Travelers' Aid Society, which operated under the auspices of the Community Chest. The society moved its operation to the new Texas & Pacific station when the station opened in 1931.

Wow! What a great story this is…or should I say "stories"? So many tales of hardships and helping one's fellow man. Particularly apropos at this time of year.
Thanks, John.

Very excited to find your post. Mae Wright was my great grandmother. Her son, my grandfather, died when my father was very young and I've been learning more about the family that stayed behind in Texas(both her sons moved to California). I love reading about all the interesting people and scenarios that would befall the aids!
Thanks, Felicia.

The P2041 rev H errata document states that erratum A-004580 applies to the P2041 processor.
The latest QorIQ 2.0-1703 SDK includes the following u-boot patch, powerpc/85xx: implement check for erratum A-004580 work-around · u-boot/u-boot@d607b96 · GitHub . However, that patch only applies to the P4080. The patch comments mention that the workaround is implemented in PBI, however none of the RCW files generated for the P2041 include the relevant PBI instructions.
My questions is, does erratum A-004580 still apply to the P2041? In this case, I assume I should implement the workaround in PBI.
I've verified with device errata, A-004580 is still applicable for P2041 processor.
However, mentioned patch is only "check" for patch, it does not implement any errata workaround, but only checks is workaround is applied. The workaround itself should be implemented in PBI. Note P4080 and P2041 have different bank and lane configurations, so PBI patch for P4080 is not directly applicable for P2041.
