Question: Hi Chad, I have read many of your articles and books and I appreciate the insight that you have provided me and others. My question is regarding the standard bench press. I am an amateur mma fighter with aspirations of competing at the pro level and an avid weight lifter. It is no surprise that I have become attached to the bench press, but after reading some of your work I question its usefulness.
So my question is this: does the bench press or exercises like it (incline, decline, db) have a place in a fighter's program? Would you recommend I focus on vertical pressing movements, dips, and maybe standing cable presses. Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
CW Answer: The bench press is a very polarizing exercise, much like the barbell squat. On one hand, the bench press has been a mainstay in strength building programs for 50 years, and most guys love to do it. On the other hand, when you consider the alternative exercises to train the same muscle groups, the bench press is not a very good choice.
The problems with a typical barbell bench press arise when you look at the structure and function of the shoulder joint. The shoulder complex consists of the scapula, clavicle, and humerus. It's the collective movement of these three segments that lead to the greatest gains in strength while preserving or improving joint health.
So what's wrong with the bench press? Your scapulae (shoulder blades) are locked into place during the movement. This creates imbalances since the muscles that move the scapulae aren't recruited. Second, the lack of scapular movement puts excessive strain on the soft tissue around the anterior portion of the shoulder joint. Anyone who's spent any effort on the bench press knows exactly where this shoulder pain is.
Even though there are dozens of bench press variations that incorporate dumbbells and various angles, the overriding problem is still the same: there's very little scapular movement.
One muscle in particular, the serratus anterior, is essential to build punching strength and improve your shoulder health by holding the scapulae in their proper position. When you throw out a long jab toward your opponent, the serratus muscle is what gives you that powerful "pop" at the end of the movement. The bench press when performed with the shoulder blades pulled back and locked into place all but eliminates this important muscle.
So does a fighter need the bench press? No. There are more effective ways to strengthen the muscles that surround the shoulder complex. You should focus on upper body pushing exercises that allow your shoulder blades to move freely, thus activating the serratus anterior.
Now for a simple drill. Make a knuckle with each fist and hold your arms straight out in front. Next, push your knuckles another 3-4 inches forward and feel your shoulder blades move apart. This is the movement that recruits the serratus anterior.
Any typical barbell or dumbbell bench press, when you're lying on your back, doesn't allow for full scapular movement. Plus it doesn't engage the core and hips as much as some of the other alternatives. To have a strong punch you must have strong hips and a strong core.
That's why I use the one-arm floor press with rotation to build a fighter's punching power. This exercise allows for full scapular movement and it builds strength in the hips and core.
In addition to the one-arm floor press with rotation, I use many variations of the push-up, handstand push-up, and standing cable chest press. The key with those variations is to push past the normal end range of motion to spread your scapulae. Remember, the humerus, clavicle, and scapula are designed to move together so you should train exercises that allow for natural, fluid motion in the shoulder complex.
I'm also a huge fan of dips from rings. With rings you can gradually increase the range of motion to the point where your thumbs touch the outside of your pecs when you're in the bottom of the movement. Building strength through this full range of motion is excellent for improving shoulder mobility strength that lasts. Ever since I started using the rings exclusively for my upper body work I haven't had to stretch my pecs and my shoulder health and mobility is better than it's ever been in my life.
That's why I use rings with all the athletes I train.
The only people who should train a traditional bench press on a regular basis are powerlifters. If you're not a powerlifter stick to variations of the push-up, handstand push-up, standing cable chest press, dips from rings, and the one-arm floor press with rotation.
If you want to learn my system for building explosive power, check out my upcoming seminar in Phoenix, AZ on February 2-4 by clicking this link.
CW: Any push-up variation where you push through an extra few inches of motion at the top to spread your scapulae is a good place to start. Dips on rings aren't necessarily great for the serratus but they're good for shoulder mobility.
Very inspired article – a lot of takeaways!
Especially liked the anatomy break down and the advice on incorporating the serratus with full range of motion for upper body exercises.
Hearing about your new-found shoulder health is intriguing. I'd be interested to learn more about what you're thinking these days when it comes to upper body training and performance.
CW: Thanks, I'll cover that info in my upcoming book.
Question: Does this only apply to a bench press or does this also apply to doing heavy weighted pushups in a 5×5 type of routine?
Also another question, you say to do them on rings, what are your views on doing the Dips on top of a swing or something where there is only one bar and it is parallel. Like doing a muscle up on a pullup bar you do a pullup and then you do a dip but on a pullup bar. Well what are your views on dip pullup bars?
CW: Heavy weighted push-ups are the way to go since they allow for scapular movement. If I understand your dip description correctly, it sounds like it could be overly stressful to the shoulder joint.
Chad-Would doing a floor press with your legs straight out be a good alternative? thanks for your time. Excellent article!!
CW: No benefit in doing it with the legs straight.
CW: I'll cover that info soon. Don't want to post all that info in this answer column.
Thanks Chad this is exactly what I was looking for, a simple answer backed up by science. I look forward to your future works.
What exercises should I use to get a big chest? Is standing cable chest press and weighted dips the only exercises I need?
CW: Those are two of the best. Also, I like push-ups with your feet elevated on a swiss ball.
CW: Do push-ups with your feet elevated on a swiss ball and attempt to pull your hands together (even though they won't move) as you push up. You'll feel intense pec activation right away.
Chad, I really like your way of thinking. I have a couple questions regarding the exercise shown in the video (one arm floor press).
– Is alot of the body weight resting on the back of the head? Is this dangerous when the weights get heavy or when the sets get long?
– What to do when the kettlebells are becoming too light? The heaviest we have are 88 lbs a piece.
CW: No, there's not a lot of weight resting on the back of the head. 88 lbs is plenty for this exercise. Add reps over time.
1) Isn't it difficult to use a heavy load with this exercise because of the awkwardness of the position?
2) Should you still attempt to retract the scapulas while pressing with this exercise?
Thanks Chad. Definitely an exercise I want use more often.
CW: Yes, you should use less load and that's not a bad thing. It's a complex exercise that builds strength and muscle with less weight than a traditional floor press. Push your knuckles as high as possible at the end of the press to activate the serratus.
Chad, Thank you very much for the quick reply.
What is your opinion on a standing pushing exercise with the landmine? I personally love it.
P.S. I now got my copy of your Huge in a Hurry book (the English version, not the German one) and it is a fantastic read!
So what about dips on parallel bars? Do they help with shoulder mobility the same as rings?
CW: No, rings are much better because they're less stressful to your shoulders.

Meet Ruby
Made of Ballarat
Filed underMakers & Growers
It's a drizzly winter's day. The roads are glistening in the rain's afterglow, and the dense eucalyptus trees make me feel right at home. (The fact that I grew up about 300 meters down the road probably helps in this respect.)
I pull into Ruby Pilven's driveway and I'm surrounded by the calm of the native surrounds. As I close the car door behind me, Ruby steps outside her charming mud brick home, coffee in-hand and a look of subtle apprehension on her face. "I just woke up," she admits. She doesn't look it though. She's perfectly put together, her short brunette hair swept to one side and her make-up impeccable.
Born in Ballarat, the 26-year-old grew up in Smythes Creek, about 20 minutes out of the city centre. "It's really beautiful out here," she says. "We've got a dam, 10 acres, and my parents built the house and the studio."
Both Ruby's parents are potters, meaning she was immersed in creativity's embrace from the minute she was born. "Living with both artists and potters, I guess my life as a child was very creative all the time," she says.
Following in her parents' footsteps, Ruby has made a name for herself as a renowned ceramic artist. She owes her success to her Mum and Dad's constant nurturing abilities, and also the fact that she's "a little bit quirky". "They called me the elegant bogan at university," she exclaims. It's hard to understand why. There's nothing remotely bogan about her. She's articulate and carries herself with poise. Plus, she's wearing Gorman.
"I learned ceramics from both my parents and it started when I was really little. I used to play around while Mum and Dad were working in the studio and I'd go to the markets and help Mum sell her pots. Then I started selling these incense holders that I used to make. I learned how to talk to people in the market, set up stands and do all that from watching Mum and Dad."
"My parents always tried to push me away from art, because they were like 'no, stay away! You'll make no money!'" Ruby laughs. "I always thought I was going to do law or German at university, but there was always this burning desire to study art."
After completing high school, Ruby went on to study a double degree in Business and Visual Art (printmaking) at Monash University. Although her background is in printmaking, her upbringing allowed her to forge a career in ceramics relatively easily while using her other skills to bring some truly unique elements to her craft.
"Every piece that I make is different, but I guess one of my most recognisable ranges is my hand-built colourful range which plays on the contemporary Japanese technique of Nerikomi and inlay. So I use a variety of techniques, and marbling as well. I've just sort of created my own aesthetic by applying three or four different techniques together."
"I just started off on Instagram, and I posted things that I liked," she says. "I thought, well if anyone else likes it, then that's a bonus – which isn't really a marketing thing.
A few years ago, Ruby was asked to feature a collection at the National Gallery of Victoria in conjunction with the Hermitage Exhibition. It was at this point that people really started taking notice of her talent. "Then I thought, oh actually, maybe this is a thing. Maybe I could do this more.
"I finally had a moment where I could just do studio work, which I've always loved doing. There was no desk job and there was no studying. I could just do it. I think Mum and Dad thought I was insane."
Ruby's work is loud, colourful, contemporary and – in every sense – one-of-a-kind. It's no wonder her Instagram account has more than 24,000 followers.
As well as featuring a collection at the NGV, she's sold her work to Australian designer Gorman and international retail giant Anthropologie, has stockists throughout Australia and overseas, and has been featured across a variety of media publications across the country including The Design Files, allowing her to significantly solidify her online presence and her name in the national creative space.
Growing up in a regional city, Ruby says she has really been able to harness her artistry, absorb her surroundings and focus entirely on her craft.
"It's so good for when you're making work. Instead of looking out on a busy road, you're looking out at a dam, seeing the birds and the trees, and that's also inspired on the imagery you see in my work.
"I love living in Ballarat because it's a simple lifestyle. You can get somewhere in five minutes and get a park out the front; you can go into the coffee shop and they know your name and you know the lady because you teach her daughter at school. Everyone's connected. There's a real community feel.
"The arts and culture space is really thriving too. There's so much support for it, there's people noticing it, and there's a lot going on. I even have friends in Melbourne who would never step out of the city coming to visit."

Album Review: Belzebubs – Pantheon Of The Nightside Gods
Date: 15 July 2019Author: Steve 0 Comments
Record Label: Century Media
For Fans Of: Dimmu Borgir, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Dethklok
Belzebubs started life in 2016 as a web comic created by JP Ahonen. Having gained a cult following the comic has now evolved into a cross media concept, more akin to Gorillaz or Dethklok. The debut release, Pantheon Of The Nightside Gods, is supported by several fully animated music videos helping to further develop the visual aspects of the band. The music is not a mere afterthought either, but instead a meticulously crafted body of work created to further develop the world of Belzebubs. As it stands there is very little information on who performed on the Belzebubs album, but in a lot of ways this works favourably and allows for more focus to be put on the music and concept rather than on individuals.
The album kicks off with the single 'Cathedrals of Mourning'. After a hauntingly ambient beginning the track kicks in with full force and blazing blast beats. The track is a great indicator of what's to come, with a combination of fast paced melodic riffs, beefy guttural vocals, a dose of orchestration and most importantly excellent use of dynamics. While the Belzebubs comics strongly draw visual influence from Black Metal culture the first track is a clear indicator that they will not be strictly sticking to the Black Metal genre, instead embracing various sub genres of Metal and infusing them into their own style. There's the obvious symphonic influences, but also hints of Death Metal, Progressive Metal and even of Shred in the guitar solos. This fusion of Metal genres makes sure there is always something interesting around the corner, preventing the album from becoming stale or too repetitive. While some may call out Belzebubs for not being Trve Kvlt Black Metal sonically, the more mature, professional and thoughtful approach to the record will pay dividends in the future.
The visual side of Belzebubs is also an important part of the package and I highly suggest watching the video for 'Cathedral of Mourning'. It is equal parts gloriously Metal and charming at the same time. The video contains the standard music videos shots but goes on to utilise the possibilities opened up by using animation. The story is developed with shots such as showing the guitarist trekking up to the peak of the mountain to unleash a wonderfully melodic solo in a blizzard. Until the ground collapses and the band are cascading down the side of the mountain. The video aims to be equal parts a standard music video and to be taken semi seriously, but has several light hearted moments which embraces the less serious side of Belzebubs seen throughout the comics.
The other music video released to date is for the 3rd track on the album, 'Blackened Call' and once again has an animated music video. The track continues to demonstrate the musicianship that has been poured into this album, with a well composed song and great performances from all the musicians involved. Kicking straight in with a relentless triplet melody and backed up with blast beats the track drives forward, accompanied by ambient choral chords. The video features the band in what at first appears to be a dark wood, performing a ritual surrounded by fire. Once again embracing a moment of humour it turns out that the band are just in a garden and end up being hosed down with a fire extinguisher.
It's these moments, where the videos are grounded back in reality, bringing a sense of charm to the Black Metal visuals. All too often the Metal genre takes itself far too seriously, trying to portray elements of strength and aggression that it's always refreshing to see a sense of humour.
There are however several twists, turns, and surprises as the album progresses and one such twist can be found in the track 'The Crowned Daughters'. Taking ideas from progressive music the song starts off slowly with a gentle acoustic melody providing momentary serenity before journeying into a heavier melodic instrumental section. Upon returning to the acoustic melodies the track introduces the first set of clean vocals. But the heavier side rules supreme, piercing through the calm and providing a excellent segue into the epic and progressive 'Dark Mother'.
'Dark Mother' kicks straight in with dissonant riffs before the symphonics elements are gradually introduced, with brass and choral parts contrasting the harsh nature of the guitars. The dissonance gives way to more melodic section of the song, but retains the atmosphere that has been laid down in the first part of the track. As the song progresses the symphonic elements take the main focus allowing the track to have room to breath and showcase it's many elements without being too dominated by one idea or another. The track ends creating an ambient soundscape which bleeds into the introduction of the following track, 'The Werewolf Bride'.
The final two tracks are slight curve balls when taken in isolation. 'Nuns in the Purgatory' is a purely acapella track with none of the ferocity found in the previous songs. It's acts as a somber penultimate track, winding down the album and essentially providing time for reflection. The final track 'Maleficarum – The Veil of the Moon Queen, Pt. I' is purely instrumental, but again features none of the traditional band instrumentation, instead opting to focusing purely on the symphonic ideas explored in the album. It has a very cinematic feel to it, as if it's the final act of an epic film or something you would hear as the credits roll.
While Belzebubs started off as a comic, the fact that these slightly riskier choices of songs have been included is a clear indication that the creators have bigger plans ahead for the concept. After all, the last track is called 'Maleficarum – The Veil of the Moon Queen, Pt. I', so who knows what part 2 will entail?
While comparisons may be drawn with Metalocalypse and Dethklok, Belzebubs firmly stand with their own identity forging their own path. It will be interesting to see the concept continue to develop and evolve, we may even one day see animated shorts of Belzebubs. The success of Metalocalypse and desire for a final season is a clear indicator that there is a demand and adoration for Metal related media and Belzebubs could be the ones to fill the gaping void.

As marketing departments in companies across various industry sectors, such as banking, insurance, and financial services, continue to grow in strategic importance, they have begun to recognize the crucial role that data plays in their success. One of their universal objectives is to improve customer targeting, enhance up-sell and cross-sell opportunities, including the ability to predict the next best offer to give customers – trigger marketing. The purpose of this article is to illustrate two tree-based approaches of trigger marketing. One is a statistics based paradigm using "if-then" rules, like CHAID, and the other is a machine learning based paradigm using genetic analysis and modeling, like the GenIQ Model©. I demonstrate the two approaches with case studies from the financial services sector.

Thomas drops out of top-ten after bad day in Tour de Suisse

Geraint Thomas was aiming to go 'full gas' to win the Tour de Suisse but the bad weather, which saw a shortened stage 9, ended any aspirations of victory and even the top ten as the Team Sky rider rolled over the line over 11 minutes down on Jarlison Pantano (IAM Cycling) to slip to 17th overall.

"Geraint had a really bad day. He was super cold on the top of that mountain and when he knew he couldn't follow the guys and he didn't have anything to fight for he just got to the finish in his own time," sports director Gabriel Rasch said.
Thomas was sitting third overall at the start of stage six but dropped to eighth overall following the stage to Amden. Ninth in the decisive Davos time trial, Thomas remained in eight with a deficit of 1:30 minutes to race leader Miguel Lopez (Astana) and 1:14 minutes off the podium. A repeat of his 2015 Tour de Suisse podium was still within reach, but with the shortened stage and the 30-year-old suffering in the cold, 91st saw Thomas saw him drop out of the top-ten.
"All of the guys did well this week and tried really hard for G. That was the plan and everyone gave up their own ambitions to do that. G was just lacking that final 10% to be up there," added Rasch.
Thomas' aspirations for the final stage had already taken a hit with climbing domestique Leopold König a non-starter due to illness having placed 16th in the time trial.
"Leo has been better day-by-day. This morning he had a sore throat and he and the doctor decided he wouldn't start to try and stay healthy, but he will be better and better for every race he does now," said Rasch who added young American Ian Boswell further demonstrated his capabilities off the back of his debut Giro d'Italia.
"He was probably a little tired after that, but he did a good job here, had some really strong days, and showed how talented he is once again," he said of the 25-year-old.

Q: Pass a class parameter and return an object of that class (java) I have a public method. The public method is declared as
public Object createUIBean(Class c, HttpServletRequest request) {
  Object o = c.newInstance() ;
  setRequestParams(o, request) ;
  return o ;
} // try catch block omitted for reasons of brevity

When calling this method, I have to cast the return result. Is there way I can write this method so I do not need to cast the returned object.

A: You can make the method generic, and you can use the generic type parameter as the return type and the type parameter for the type of the parameter c, Class (which is currently raw).
public <T> T createUIBean(Class<T> c, HttpServletRequest request) {
  T o = c.newInstance();
  setRequestParams(o, request) ;
  return o ;
}

Also, Class.forName(c.getName()).newInstance() ; is too much to create a simple instance when c.newInstance() will do the job.

A: I am not sure if that is what you want but maybe you are looking for something like generic method
public <T> T createUIBean(Class<T> c, HttpServletRequest request) {
  T o = c.newInstance() ;// "Class.forName(c.getName())" is equivalent of "c"
  setRequestParams(o, request) ;
  return o ;
}

Now returned type T will be based on type T used as Class<T> c argument.

A number of companies are attempting to create new drugs and products tailored to Asian bodies and lifestyles. Here's why.
There's the Singapore-based drugmaker tackling an obscure cancer that's rare in the West but common in Asia, where it's been linked to a popular fish dish. Med-tech startups are preparing to sell tests to detect tumours more accurately in Asian women with denser breast tissue, including one wearable device that slips into a bra. Even Big Pharma firms like AstraZeneca Plc and Roche Holding AG now have drugs targeting a lung cancer-causing mutation most often found in women from East Asia.
This simple yet radical departure comes as Asia's booming economies and rising incomes enable higher spending on health care. That's providing incentive for more pharmaceutical companies to set up shop in the region, whether it's Western firms creating R&D centres to develop drugs for local populations, or new Asian drugmakers springing up. Consultancy Frost & Sullivan predicts that total revenue for the Asian health-care industry will jump 11% this year to $517 billion.
Many of the researchers focusing on Asia have a simple starting point: Diseases and their cures can sometimes work differently in different populations, and a one-size-fits-all regimen tailored to the West isn't sufficient. The approach is cropping up most often in cancer care in Asia, home to tumours that are rare in the West.
The shift is part of a broader trend sweeping through the global health-care industry called precision medicine, which seeks to tailor treatment to a person's specific genetic make-up and circumstances, including the ones commonly shared among people of the same ethnic group or culture.
In Asia, Japan has long been an important market for the health-care industry, and a site of new discoveries. But the rapid growth of the rest of the region is heightening its importance as a whole, and diversifying the industry's focus in it.
Singapore-based biotech company Aslan Pharmaceuticals is now conducting late-stage human tests for a drug targeting bile duct and gastric cancers. The prevalence throughout Asia of a stomach-infecting bacteria which can lead to cancer-causing inflammation is one factor that makes gastric cancer more common in the region. But research suggests it usually takes even more culturally specific traits, like the aggravating diet of salty and fermented foods common in Northern China, Korea and Japan, to turn that inflammation cancerous.
Northeastern Thailand, meanwhile, is the global centre for an obscure disease called bile duct cancer. Rare in the West, researchers have traced its prevalence in certain parts of Southeast Asia to a fermented fish dish called koi pla beloved by the area's Lao people. The cooking process for the dish often fails to kill an inflammation-causing parasite called the liver fluke, and the infection can eventually lead to bile-duct cancer.
Aslan has received orphan drug status for its lead molecule in the US as a potential treatment for biliary tract and gastric cancers, and is seeking approval to sell it both there and in China. When it comes to patients in less affluent parts of Asia, like bile duct cancer patients in Thailand, Firth said his company could look for ways to help them access the drug after completing its clinical trials.
Meanwhile, by controlling for both ethnicity and gender, researchers over the last decade have established that a particular cell mutation, which causes lung cancer even in non-smokers is much more common in Asian women than anyone else. This discovery has since opened the door for two multinational pharma companies, AstraZeneca and Roche, to develop and bring to market therapies that specifically target these parts of the cell, and so have proved to be particularly effective in Asian patients.
And when it comes to breast cancer, just diagnosing it in the first place can be harder because research shows Asian women are more likely to have denser breasts than Caucasians. That can obscure the tumour on a mammogram, leading doctors to miss it entirely or sometimes mistakenly identify one that isn't there. A host of start-ups have sprung up to tackle the problem.
In Singapore, a company called MiRXES plans to launch a test that will examine patients' blood for microscopic particles that are byproducts of tumour growth, while another firm based in the city state, Nova Satra Dx, has developed a test that checks chemical changes in how cells read their own DNA for signals they've turned cancerous. Meanwhile, Reno, Nevada-based health tech startup Cyrcadia Health has set up a unit in Hong Kong to launch a bra that picks up metabolic changes which may signal development of a tumour.
All these differences have led to postulation of an 'Asian phenotype', a distinctive way Asian people's genes are expressed because of biology and environment. Where traditionally the health-care industry would seek approval for new products in the West before bringing them to Asia, now more firms are planning to go the other way for some diseases.

'Quantum Leap' Star Dean Stockwell Dead at 85
Dean Stockwell 'Quantum Leap' Star Dead at 85
11/8/2021 10:25 PM PT
Jay D. Schwartz
Dean Stockwell, who starred alongside Scott Bakula in "Quantum Leap," has died ... TMZ has learned.
The longtime actor -- his Hollywood career spanned 70 years -- died early Sunday morning at home, peacefully and of natural causes ... according to a rep.
Dean's most famous for his role as Admiral Al Calavicci on 'Quantum' ... he starred in all 97 episodes of the hit sci-fi TV show from 1989 to 1993. The cult classic series earned Stockwell multiple Emmy nominations, and the 1990 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor.
Stockwell started out a child actor for MGM Studios back in the 1940s, starring in films like "Anchors Aweigh" and "Gentleman's Agreement" -- and he had a steady string of roles right into the 1980s, when he not only landed the 'Quantum' role ... but had major turns in movies.
Dean got a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for 1988's "Married to the Mob," and also co-starred in big films like the original "Dune," "Blue Velvet" and "Paris, Texas."
He found even more TV popularity when he joined the "Battlestar Galactica" cast in 2006. Thanks to that role, and his 'Quantum' stardom, Dean became a fixture at sci-fi conventions all over the country.
Dean is survived by his wife, Joy Stockwell and their 2 children, Austin and Sophie.
He was 85 years old.

Dave Brubeck in New York in March 2008
David Warren "Dave" Brubeck (born December 6, 1920 in Concord , California , † December 5, 2012 in Norwalk , Connecticut ) was an American jazz pianist , composer and band leader . He and his quartet led one of the longest lasting and most successful combos of modern jazz and won a new audience for jazz with the intellectual middle class. In his pieces he combined jazz with both European concert music and non-European music. In Brubeck's piano playing, block chords and odd time signatures in the rhythmic structure of his pieces took up a large space.

Dave Brubeck, October 8, 1954
Photograph by Carl van Vechten
Brubeck grew up on a farm, his father was a cattle breeder. In Ken Burns' jazz film series , he jokingly said his childhood dream was that the cattle he was tending would stop the Benny Goodman Orchestra tour bus so he could audition. His first musical contacts were with country music . Brubeck's mother had studied piano in England with the aim of becoming a concert pianist and was acquainted with Henry Cowell . She also taught piano on the side; from the age of four also Dave, who also learned the cello . Brubeck wasn't particularly interested in learning by any particular method, but rather wanted to create his own melodies - that way he never learned to play by sight.
Brubeck first studied veterinary medicine and switched to music in 1941. He first studied at the College of Pacific , where he also directed an orchestra. In 1942 he moved to Mills College . When one of his professors concluded from his poor sight reading that he apparently couldn't read music, he was nearly expelled from college. Several of his professors stood up for him and pointed out his skills in counterpoint and harmony . Fearing that a scandal might ensue, the school allegedly granted him graduation only on his promise to never teach himself.
In 1943 he was drafted into the army . At the beginning of his military service he had the opportunity to attend lectures with Arnold Schönberg at the University of California . He then served in George Patton's Third Army during the Battle of the Bulge . He played in a band that he put together for a short time - mainly with African American musicians - and quickly gained notoriety and recognition. After three years of military service, he returned to Mills College and in 1946 studied for six months with Darius Milhaud , who encouraged him not only to study classical piano, but also counterpoint and arrangement . He also turned his attention back to jazz.
As a student, Brubeck started an octet , among others with Cal Tjader and Paul Desmond . The octet The Jazz Workshop Ensemble was very eager to experiment, but made only a few recordings and got very few opportunities to perform. A little discouraged, Brubeck started a trio with two members in 1949, which he expanded into a quartet with Desmond in 1951, and spent several years playing exclusively jazz standards. A first success was his appearance at Oberlin College in 1953, later published as Jazz at Oberlin . In 1954, Brubeck was the first musician after Louis Armstrong to appear on a cover picture of Time ; he was awarded in numerous polls. Then he formed the " Dave Brubeck Quartet " with Joe Dodge on drums, Bob Bates on bass, Paul Desmond on saxophone and himself on piano. In the mid-1950s, Bates and Dodge were replaced by Eugene Wright and Joe Morello . In the late 1950s Brubeck canceled several concerts because the club owner asked him to look for a different bassist than the African American Eugene Wright. He also canceled several television appearances when he found out they were planning to keep Wright out of the picture.
In 1959 he performed his brother Howard's Dialogue for Jazz Combo and Symphony with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra . In 1959, the quartet released the album " Time Out ", which was enthusiastically received by their music label , but was still reluctantly released: It contained exclusively original compositions, and only one of them (Strange Meadow Lark) was consistently in the usual 4/4 Tact. Even so, the record quickly achieved platinum status . In 1961 he recorded pieces from the musical The Real Ambassador with Louis Armstrong, Jon Hendricks , Dave Lambert , Annie Ross and Carmen McRae and gave a concert at the Berlin Wall . At the Berlin Jazz Festival in 1964 he performed his Elementals for quartet and symphony orchestra; in the same year he gave a concert at the White House .
Dave Brubeck, Quartet, 1967
The first Brubeck Quartet separated in 1967; Brubeck appeared from 1968 on with Gerry Mulligan , with whom he also made recordings. At the same time, Brubeck formed a new group with Perry Robinson and Jerry Bergonzi as wind instruments and with his three sons Dan on drums, Darius on bass and Chris on keyboard. In 1972 he renewed his collaboration with Paul Desmond, in 1975/76 they gave a series of reunion concerts with the classical quartet and Mulligan as an occasional guest. After Desmond's death in 1977, Mulligan and Brubeck recorded together for the next six years.
In 1980 Brubeck became a Catholic . He did not call this step a conversion, but rather the beginning of a serious religious commitment. The immediate stimulus for this is likely to have been his work on the mass composition To Hope . He was commissioned by the American editor Ed Murray, publisher of the Catholic weekly Our Sunday Visitor .
Brubeck also dealt with the music of the North American Indians. He gave concerts in around 80 cities a year, usually in 20 European cities in the spring. In recent years his quartet has included alto saxophonist Bobby Militello , bassist Michael Moore (who replaced Alec Dankworth and Jack Six ), and drummer Randy Jones . Dave Brubeck has not given concerts in Europe since 2006.
Brubeck composed jazz standards such as In Your Own Sweet Way or The Duke . Some of his pieces are in unusual time signatures : Pick Up Sticks in 6/4, Unsquare Dance in 7/4 and Blue Rondo A La Turk in 9/8; his longstanding musical partner Paul Desmond wrote what is surely the most famous piece of the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Take Five in 5/4 time. In addition, he also dealt with the writing of works of the Third Stream and other elaborately layered compositions. In addition to symphonic and chamber music works, for example for the Brodsky Quartet , he also composed oratorios, ballet music and sacred music (To Hope! A Celebration) .
With his wife Iola (born Iola Marie Whitlock, born August 14, 1923, † March 12, 2014), whom he married in 1942, Dave Brubeck had six children (Michael, Catherine, Darius , Chris , Dan and Matthew), of which Darius, Chris, Dan and Matthew also became professional musicians. Dave Brubeck died of heart failure at Norwalk Hospital on December 5, 2012, the day before his 92nd birthday .
Dave Brubeck received the Lifetime Achievement Award in an internationally broadcast Grammy Awards show in 1996 . In addition, he received other awards in his life, including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame , an honorary doctorate from six American universities, an honorary doctorate from the University of Nottingham (England), an honorary doctorate from the University of Freiburg (Switzerland) and an honorary doctorate from the University of Duisburg . In 1994 Bill Clinton awarded him the National Medal of Arts . In February 2006 the asteroid (5079) Brubeck was named after him. In December 2009, President Barack Obama presented Brubeck with the Kennedy Center Award in Washington. In 2010, on the occasion of Brubeck's ninetieth birthday, the documentary Dave Brubeck - In His Own Sweet Way , produced by Clint Eastwood and directed by Bruce Ricker, premiered . In 2011 Brubeck was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .
With the establishment of the Brubeck Institute , which advocates the spread of modern musical styles, the University of the Pacific honored Dave Brubeck as the namesake of its department for jazz studies . In addition to a Brubeck Summer Jazz Colony , a small two-day Brubeck Festival is held there every year .

Q: How to populate data from one input box to another when both have different ng-models? Angularjs newbie here..
I have two input boxes,
    <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="d.d_oad1">
    <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="d.c_oad1">

then I have
    <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="d.d_oad2">
    <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="d.c_oad2">
    <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="d.d_oad3">
    <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="d.c_oad3">

and so on...
I need to populate value from the first input box to the next, while keeping the second input box's update independent. For example, I need to populate data from input box with ng-model d.d_oad1 to d.c_oad1, similarly, d.d_oad2 to d.c_oad2 and so on..
It would have been easy if I could use the same ng-model for both, however that is not possible...

A: So to begin, whatever gets changed in input1 will be stored in variable1(d.d_oad1) and whatever is changed in input2 will get stored in variable2(d.c_oad2), to create the below functionality needed.
First we define an ng-change which runs whenever the ng-modal value changes (i.e. d.d_oad1) and call a function call copy() and pass the value of variable 1(d.d_oad1) to the function.
<input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="d.d_oad1" ng-change="copy(d.d_oad1)">

So inside this copy function we can write the functionality needed.
Copy functionality:
$scope.copy = function(val) {
    $scope.d.c_oad2 = angular.copy(val);
  }

Snippet:
Here the copy function will receive the value of variable1 in the first arguement and assign it to the second arguement.

var app = angular.module('myApp', []);

app.controller('MyController', function MyController($scope) {
  $scope.d = {
    d_oad1: "",
    c_oad1: "",
    d_oad2: "",
    c_oad2: "",
    d_oad3: "",
    c_oad3: ""
  }
  $scope.copy = function(str, val) {
    var key = "c_"+str.split("_")[1];
    $scope.d[key] = val;
  }
});

  <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="d.d_oad1" ng-change="copy('d.d_oad1', d.d_oad1)">

  <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="d.c_oad1">

  <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="d.d_oad2" ng-change="copy('d.d_oad2', d.d_oad2)">

  <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="d.c_oad2">

  <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="d.d_oad3" ng-change="copy('d.d_oad3', d.d_oad3)">

  <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="d.c_oad3">


Highbury was built by Joseph Chamberlain, industrialist, reforming Birmingham Mayor and controversial national and imperial politician and was the family residence until his death in 1914. Highbury symbolises and commemorates the power of a political dynasty, which included his sons, Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister from 1937–1940, and Austen Chamberlain, Foreign Secretary 1924–1929 and Nobel Prize Winner in 1926.
The house and its surrounding 30 acre estate form one of Birmingham's most important heritage assets. The Grade II* listed house was designed by the prominent Birmingham architect J. H. Chamberlain (no relation) in a Venetian Gothic style with exceptional naturalistic decorative features and was completed in 1878.
The grounds were mainly landscaped by Edward Milner, an Edwardian garden designer of national reputation, and are included at Grade II on the national register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest. They included a long carriage drive from the lodge, pleasure gardens close to the house, kitchen gardens, a hobby farm and a series of ornamental gardens, lakes, ponds and open parkland.
In 1919 when the building was in use as a military hospital, the estate was assigned to a trust, the Highbury Trust; in 1932, the trusteeship was passed to Birmingham City Council which has since then been the sole trustee. The property was given in trust to the City Council 'for the benefit of the people of Birmingham'.
The estate is now managed by the Chamberlain Highbury Trust.

The Kazakh Energy Ministry is developing a new environmental code, which will include provisions on climate change, by the end of the year.
The ministry's deputy head of department, Kerei Bekbergen said the new code will encourage natural resource users to adopt and introduce green technologies.
"The deadline for the document's submission to the Mazhilis is December 2019. We established working groups focused on the code development," he said on the sidelines of the second Central Asia Climate Change Conference in Tashkent.
The conference became a platform for the Government officials and environmentalists from the five Central Asian countries discussed measures undertaken in the region to prevent environmental degradation.
Experts noted that the Central Asia region has one of the highest vulnerability to environmental protection level and the countries can maintain the stability only by consolidated efforts.
"If we choose to work separately, we can also succeed but the journey will be much longer, more difficult and probably much more expensive," said director of regional environmental center for Central Asia, Iskandar Abdullayev.
The disappearance of 1,000 small glaciers in Tajiskistan over the past three decades was highlighted as one of the main global environmental issues at the conference.
Head of Central Asian Sustainable Development Center, Zhalil Buzrukov said the Central Asian countries need to think and decide on how to mitigate the risks posed by climate change given that a substantial area of the region is covered by mountains.
He said climate change could result in the reduction of water resources as well.
Meanwhile, the countries around Aral Sea have successfully improved the condition of the sea through joint-efforts. Currently, there are 23 fish species in the sea including 14 commercial breeds.
Regional environmentalists planted haloxylon and other plants on the dried seabed to consolidate the sand and reduce the spread of salt in the sea.

Welcome to the International Studies (B.A.) degree program at UCA!
Established in 2007, the International Studies Program (Bachelor of Arts degree) at the University of Central Arkansas is intended for students who are interested in studying global topics from a variety of different perspectives. Students may choose upper-division electives in the areas of politics, economics, finance, geography, history, sociology, philosophy, religion, literature, and languages. There is also a foreign language component to the program. Students are required to be proficient in at least one second language. Students may choose to pursue either a major or a minor in International Studies.
Students who choose to major or minor in International Studies within the Department of Political Science are required to select one of three different concentrations: (1) International Politics & Diplomacy; (2) International Political Economy & Development; and (3) Regional Studies. The concentration in International Politics & Diplomacy emphasizes the political relations and interactions among state and non-state actors in international system, as well as the behaviors of sub-national groups that operate within countries and transnational groups that operate across the borders of countries. The concentration in International Political Economy & Development emphasizes economic-related interactions among state and non-state actors in the international system, including the role of global institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization. Finally, the concentration in Regional Studies emphasizes the development and transformation of political, economic, social, and cultural systems within various countries and regions of the world, including Asia, Africa, Europe, Middle East, and Latin America.
The International Studies Program will prepare students to enter into one of many challenging and rewarding careers in the 21st century, including careers with federal, state, and local governments; multinational corporations and other businesses; international non-governmental and local non-profit organizations; and inter-governmental organizations with offices, programs, and staff located in the U.S. and overseas. The International Studies Program will also prepare students to enter professional programs or graduate school in a variety of disciplines, including business, law, economics, geography, history, international studies, public policy, and political science. For students interested in international studies, foreign languages, and study abroad programs, there are a number of government- and private-funded scholarships and fellowships for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as other international studies-related programs.

Carefully choose the plants that will go near a swimming pool or hot tub. Something that is attractive at 2 feet tall can grow quickly and drop leaves and debris into your pool in just a couple of years. Research the best plants, shrubs, trees and ornamentals that will survive and even thrive when planted next to a pool, and also blend in well with the rest of your landscaping.
Succulents are increasing in popularity and are integrated with other plants in both front and back yards. That means they can be found growing poolside, where they can be foundation plants that are evergreen (or whatever color they are), sculptural in form, and hardy. Just make sure succulents planted near pools and spas don't have spines (thorns or needles). Why? Children and pool-goers running around in swimsuits, with skin exposed.
Many succulents don't have spines, or if they do, they can be small. Larger succulents with spines can be planted at the back of a border or raised bed.
Ornamental grasses can be low maintenance and visually striking near pools. These types of grasses are not the lawn grasses with which you may be familia—ornamental grasses include sedges, rushes, and bamboo.
Vines climb over walls and weave their way through fences and trellises. Most are fast growers and can quickly help to form a sort of privacy screen around pool areas, or can be trained as living roofs on arbors and pergolas.
Carefully choose trees that will grow near a swimming pool, keeping in mind ultimate growth height and width. While considering potential trees, look for ones that won't make a mess as they drop their leaves, flowers, or fruit.
If you live in a dry climate or region experiencing drought, then landscape with watering needs in mind. Many plants are drought tolerant, especially after roots have been established in the grounds for a year or so with regular watering.
Container gardens can be beautifully arranged with plants that have similar care needs. They can also be moved around, depending on the time of year, occasion, etc. Choose hardy plants that follow the thriller, filler and spiller design technique, or plant just one type in tall containers.
Nothing smells better than the lovely fragrance that comes from nature itself, specifically sweet-scented vines, shrubs, and trees. Plant a few near the pool, patio, along a path, or where you dine outdoors. Some plants become more fragrant during the evening hours.
Many flowering shrubs, vines, and even cactus have scents that you can't capture in a perfume or candle. That's why nothing can beat the real thing in a garden.
A pool surrounded by tropical landscaping is many homeowners' ideal for a private backyard retreat. If the climate permits, a pool area can appear more tropical with the addition of tropical plants like palms, bird of paradise, ginger, or other exotics.
While their spines are not something you and your guests want to come in contact with, cactus can be striking and natural near a pool in desert regions. Plant them in raised beds or containers far enough away from the pool and center of activity.


An apparent hullabaloo over hair weave led to harsh language and a trip to jail, according to an arrest affidavit.
PORT ST. LUCIE — An apparent hullabaloo over hair weave led to harsh language and a trip to jail, according to an arrest affidavit.
Sanperia Mack, 29, was arrested Jan. 10 by Port St. Lucie police on two counts of battery.
Police went to an undisclosed address for a disturbance, and reported encountering Mack "screaming and yelling" in the front yard.
Mack's mother told investigators Mack came home and began arguing with Mack's sister.
"Sanperia got mad because she thought (her sister) put weave in her daughter('s) … hair," the affidavit states.
The mother said she told Mack she put the weave in because she grew tired of her hair's appearance.
Meanwhile, the mother said Mack used foul language and derogatory terms.
"I'll beat yo (foul language) (derogatory term)," Mack is quoted as saying.
The mother said Mack "sized up" her sister and began swinging.
Mack is accused of striking her mother and sister "about the weave in her daughter's hair," the affidavit states.
Mack's sister told police she was braiding her niece's hair when Mack came home and started arguing.
Police tried to speak with Mack again.
"Don't ask me (foul language) else," Mack is quoted as replying.


Our guide to Austin will help you find the best breweries in Austin Texas. There's a mystique about Austin. Even if you've lived for years in this small town turned big city, the reasons why the city functions as it does, and why it seems so different from other U.S. cities, may not be readily apparent. High-tech industries have migrated to the area, making it Texas's answer to Silicon Valley. The city has also become an important filmmaking center. Austin is an extraordinarily open and welcoming place -- a city where you're not only allowed but expected to be yourself, in all your quirky glory. The people you encounter are likely to be laissez-faire and may even be newcomers themselves. For the moment, Austin retains a few vestiges of a small-town atmosphere -- but a quick scan of its fast-growing downtown skyline will tell you that its days as a sleepy college town are long gone. There are tons of great breweries in the city of Austin, our city guide will help you find the best breweries. You may have a hard time deciding what to do in Austin, but we make your decision easy.

e-Learning Acupuncture: Connectivism is about you!
Are you in EdTech or the Online Education field? If so, this blog posting will interest you.
George Siemens and Stephen Downes will be co-facilitating a course this Fall hosted by the University of Manitoba on the topic of Connectivism. This Learning Theory is relatively new and is built on the central tenet that learning is the process of creating connections and developing a network. Clearly, recent advances in Web 2.0 technologies like social networking are major players in the development of this learning theory. For more information on the theory of Connectivism you can find a general resource on Wikipedia.
The best part of this course is you can have a choice to 1) take it for FREE in a non-credit fashion, or 2) take it for credit in a paid-for version. Regardless, all students are put together into one cohort to research the topic of Connectivism. There's going to be videos, blogs, rss feeds, discussions - everything that fits into the Connectivism model will be woven into this course.
"Connectivism and Connective Knowledge is a twelve week course that will explore the concepts of connectivism and connective knowledge and explore their application as a framework for theories of teaching and learning. It will outline a connectivist understanding of educational systems of the future. George Siemens and Stephen Downes – the two leading figures on connectivism and connective knowledge - will co-facilitate this innovative and timely course.
This course will help participants make sense of the transformative impact of technology in teaching and learning over the last decade. The voices calling for reform do so from many perspectives, with some suggesting 'new learners' require different learning models, others suggesting reform is needed due to globalization and increased competition, and still others suggesting technology is the salvation for the shortfalls evident in the system today. While each of these views tell us about the need for change, they overlook the primary reasons why change is required."
Last Sunday night (July 27th, 2008), EdTechTalk did a talk show on this course with participation by Stephen Downes, George Siemens, Alec Couros and Leigh Blackall. It now has almost 1200 registrants! WOW - 1200! If you are interested in this course, you might want to have a listen to the audio recording of EdTechTalk #81.
It's going to be a very interesting experiment. I'll be there. Will you?
I think I will! Good reminder, I read about this somewhere else and then totally forgot to do anything about it!


Avondale is a city in the southwest part of the Greater Phoenix area, in the West Valley. The following chart represents the distance from Avondale, Arizona to the indicated city, and the time it takes to drive there.
Avondale attracts visitors from all over the country to Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) which hosts NASCAR events. If you are visiting Avondale because you are attending a NASCAR race, you'll want to read more about attending NASCAR activities.
The purpose of this chart is to give an estimation, not an exact time or distance. You may be starting or ending at some other point, so please keep that in mind. Likewise, as far as the times from one point to another are concerned, people drive differently, during different times of the day and week, and slow road conditions and restrictions happen. Speed limits vary from 55 mph to 75 mph on highways here. During rush hour, the drive from Phoenix to Tolleson can be a frustrating one, with very slow moving traffic heading to other West Valley cities. Of course, at rush hour you will be driving west into the blazing sun on many days.
The first set of cities, shown as white in the table, are in Maricopa County. The second set of cities, shown in light gray in the table, are in Pinal County and are considered part of the Greater Phoenix area. The third set of cities, shown in darker gray, are major destinations elsewhere in the State of Arizona.
The last set of places, in the darkest gray, are common driving destinations outside Arizona.
