LADYHAWKE – Andrew Powell
April 16, 2015 Leave a comment Go to comments
In 1985 the sword-and-sorcery genre was still very much at the height of its powers, with successful films like Dragonslayer, Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja and Krull having been released to popular acclaim during the preceding few years. Ladyhawke was less an action-adventure, and more a love story, telling the tale of two cursed lovers in twelfth century France: Etienne Navarre, a brave and noble knight, and Isabeau d'Anjou, a beautiful young noblewoman. The twist of the story comes due to the fact that, despite being in love, they can never truly be together until a curse is lifted – by day, Isabeau assumes the form of a hawk, while Etienne is human; at night, Etienne becomes a wolf, while Isabeau returns to her human form. With the help of a wisecracking thief named Philippe and a kindly priest, Etienne and Isabeau resolve to try to break the curse so they can finally be together. The film was directed by Richard Donner, and stars Rutger Hauer, Michelle Pfeiffer and Matthew Broderick.
The score for Ladyhawke remains controversial to this day. It was written by British composer and conductor Andrew Powell and produced by Alan Parsons, the legendary prog-rock producer who worked extensively with bands like Pink Floyd and The Hollies, and whose own band – The Alan Parsons Project – was successful in its own right, most notably with the 1982 album Eye in the Sky. Director Donner has stated on numerous occasions that he was listening to music by The Alan Parsons Project while he was scouting for shooting locations in Italy, and became unable to separate his visual ideas from the music, leading him to hire Powell and Parsons to score the film when the time came. It's fair to say that Donner's decision was not a universally popular one, even amongst other members of Ladyhawke's crew – Donner's producer and eventual wife, Lauren Shuler, was vehemently against the idea, and even Rutger Hauer himself has criticized it. The combination of traditional orchestral music with Gregorian chants and prog-rock proved to be divisive amongst fans and critics, many of whom labeled it as being anachronistic.
I have said on numerous occasions that 99% of all film scores 'work' within the context of the film for which they was written; Ladyhawke, unfortunately, is one of those few in the other 1%. The score sounds absolutely appalling in the film; most of it is spotted badly, it's dreadfully overblown, and the synth and rock elements of the score sound especially out of place. They somehow manage to date the film, sound inappropriate in terms of the time period and location in which the film is set, and convey all the wrong emotions to the audience, all at the same time. The entire concept of the score is a complete mess, and I will happily go on record to state that, as heard in the film, Ladyhawke could come close to being one of the worst and most poorly-judged scores in history. Having this music in this film actually makes the film worse, and that breaks the cardinal rule of any composer working on a movie: whatever you do, don't actively harm your film with your music.
However, on CD, things are slightly different. Andrew Powell was a classically trained musician who studied with Karl-Heinz Stockhausen, and had a fair amount of experience working in film; prior to him being hired to work on Ladyhawke, he worked as an assistant to composer Stanley Myers (a position which would be later taken by Hans Zimmer). As such, many of the more traditional symphonic ideas he develops in the film are excellent: it's just that, when the wailing rock guitar, keyboard, and modern percussion section kicks in for the first time half way through the "Main Title," your first instinct is to wonder what the hell just happened.
To be fair, as pure music, divorced from the film, the score does have several redeeming factors. The main theme, which is most often associated with Etienne himself, appears in cues like the "Main Title," "Tavern Fight," and "Navarre's Ambush," and is memorable and catchy, with a fanfare-like herald underpinned by swaggering rock rhythmic ideas, and with a sense of fun and adventure that is undeniable. The more laid-back, brash motif for the scoundrel Philippe sounds more like a funky blaxploitation tune, but gives cues like "The Search for Philippe" an unexpected sense of urban cool. The theme for Isabeau is the score's most romantic, and first appears as a melody for elegant flutes, piano and acoustic guitars during "Philippe Describes Isabeau". The culmination of Isabeau's theme comes in the stunningly beautiful "She Was Sad at First," where it interplays with a variation on Etienne's theme for French horns to utterly sensational effect, and in the extended "Final Reunion/End Title" piece, which revisits all the score's main themes as an all-encompassing suite.
Not only that, buried beneath all the funky rock rhythms, some of Powell's interesting orchestral ideas occasionally come shining through. The vivid string writing in the second half of "Tavern Fight (Navarre)" is superb, as are the impressionistic orchestral textures in "Pitou's Woods" and "Cezar's Woods". The eerie choral effects, brass harmonies and searching strings in "Navarre's Ambush" and "Bishop's Death" are very impressive, as is the strident, traditional orchestral action music of cues like "Wolf Trapped in Ice". The traditional Gregorian chant, plainsong, and medieval dance music heard in cues like "Bishop's Procession" and "Wedding Music" is authentic and sincere. Powell also does go some way in trying to develop and themes-and-variations concept for his central ideas, for example playing around with a woodwind version of Isabeau's theme juxtaposed against an impressionistic synth version of Etienne's theme in "Navarre and Isabeau's Dual Transformation".
Despite all this, it's still difficult to reconcile this music with a romantic action film set in the European middle ages. Much of it sounds more like music from a 1970s cop show scored by Mike Post, and that is where it fails. However much one may enjoy listening to a score on CD – and, believe me, I do enjoy listening to Ladyhawke for pure enjoyment quite a lot – the fact that the score is so wrong for the film is it's downfall. Quite how a director as tasteful as Richard Donner, who previously hired Jerry Goldsmith for The Omen and John Williams for Superman, could have felt this music was appropriate for this film is beyond me, and I honestly feel that it's reputation as a laughable mistake is well deserved.
The score for Ladyhawke was first released on CD by GNP Crescendo Records in 1995, with 23 tracks of music running for just over an hour. A lavish 2-CD set, produced by Ford Thaxton, Mark Banning and James Nelson for La-La Land Records was released in early 2015, and features extensive liner notes by writer Tim Grieving, and more than an hour of additional music, bonus tracks and alternate cues, although to me none of them stood out as being especially essential. As a comprehensive look at the score in its fullest form, the La-La Land release is certainly an excellent product, and is recommended for those few who actually appreciate Ladyhawke's music, and could stand to listen to more than two hours of it. Personally, I prefer the tighter condensed version of the GNP release, which covers all the score's main bases without outstaying its welcome.

In some cases, indoor mold growth may not be obvious. It is possible that mold may be growing on hidden surfaces, such as the backside of dry wall, wallpaper or paneling; the top of ceiling tiles; or the underside of carpets and pads. Possible locations of hidden mold can include pipe chases and utility tunnels (pipes with condensation or leaking), walls behind furniture (where condensation forms), condensate drain pans inside air handling units, porous thermal or acoustic liners inside ductwork, or roof materials above ceiling tiles (due to roof leaks or insufficient insulation).
Some building materials, such as dry wall with vinyl wallpaper over it or wood paneling, may act as vapor barriers, trapping moisture underneath their surfaces and thereby providing a moist environment where mold can grow. You may suspect hidden mold if a building smells moldy, but you cannot see the source, or if you know there has been water damage and building occupants are reporting health problems.
For example, removal of wallpaper can lead to a massive release of spores from mold growing on the underside of the paper. If you discover hidden mold, it is imperative that you contact a specialist with experience in mold remediation. First Team Restoration has extensive experience in water damage and mold remediation in both residential and commercial buildings.

What to pack for a long trip in New Zealand.
Backpacking in New Zealand, doing a gap year or a working holiday? Then this is the ultimate packing list for you! Doing an extended trip in New Zealand is super exciting but the packing process for such a long time is daunting. You don't want to get this wrong! However, we are here to ease the stress with this ultimate packing list for an Extended Trip in New Zealand.
From packing the carry-on luggage to deciding which clothes to take, this packing list for New Zealand will help you only pack the essentials and keep your luggage light. Although packing is personal to everyone, we try our best to make you aware of the essentials that you will really need for New Zealand.
And remember, there are a few things that are not necessary to pack, so find those in 10 Things Not to Pack for New Zealand.
Making the ultimate packing list for an extended trip in New Zealand means picking the right luggage to pack your stuff in! Your backpack or suitcase will be your companion for your entire trip, so you need to be comfortable with carrying it around the country. While most backpackers choose backpacks because they are more versatile for transporting to more locations, others find it easier to use a wheel suitcase if they are planning on using convenient transport methods to get between the main towns and cities. For more pros and cons to these choices of luggage, check out Backpack Vs Suitcase: Which Should You Take to New Zealand.
When choosing a backpack, make sure it is the correct size for you. There's nothing worse than carrying a heavy backpack that doesn't sit correctly on your back. See our tips in How to Choose a Good Backpack.
First things first, your carry-on bag has the most important packing list, as this is going to be your companion for going onto the plane to New Zealand. Your most valuable items will be packed in here, as well as important paperwork for getting into New Zealand. Make sure you not only choose a carry-on bag which is within the weight and size restrictions of your chosen airline, but you choose a carry-on which you can also use as a day pack for everyday use in New Zealand. We go into more details of airline restrictions and an in-depth packing list in What to Pack in Your Carry-On for New Zealand.
Whether it's the flight to and from New Zealand, a long drive or bus ride, you will want some comfortable clothing. Try sweat pants, leggings, shorts, t-shirts, hoodies or sneakers/jandals. You can also use these items to sleep in (although no one will judge you if you want to bring your favourite whale pajamas.
Pack a "smart-casual" outfit for exploring cities, going to job interviews or doing jobs that may require you to dress smartly but don't provide uniform, and for going on nights out. New Zealand has a very casual attitude toward the dress code for bars and clubs, so there's no need to pack your shiniest loafers or highest heels.
Enough for seven days should do it.
For more information on what clothes to pack, check out What Clothes to Pack to Travel in New Zealand and get an idea of the seasons and temperatures in The New Zealand Seasons and Climate.
This is personal to everyone, but there are a few medical items you might want to consider packing for New Zealand.
You can bring up to three months of prescribed medication into New Zealand. More than that and you will need to get a letter from your doctor written in English to show at the Immigration desk. If you need more prescribed medication while in New Zealand, then don't worry. It's extremely affordable. Follow our advice in How to Get a Medical Prescription in New Zealand.
It's a good idea to make a mini first aid kit for yourself just in case you get a small injury or sickness while on the road. Packing a few pain relief medicine, antiseptic cream, antihistamine tablets and anti-diarrhoea is a good place to start. For a more in-depth list, check out Health Tips For Travelling in New Zealand.
There's no need to stock up on these items, as you can get them all in New Zealand. Pack any bottles in a plastic bag in case they explode in your bag.
Now for all those little things that are essential for an extended trip in New Zealand. For more details on these items, check out 15 Essentials to Pack for New Zealand.
If you plan on camping a lot, pack a light-weight tent, 4-season sleeping bag, torch/flashlight and sleeping mat.


I have to get used to your pages here. I am not sure what I am doing now. Is this your Inbox or is this for public viewing?..in that case ...sorry!
How are you? have been getting in shape for this comming ski season? We are anticipating another good season, then it will be the end of this cycle of good snow year, till next one.


I have selenium TestNG test written in java and using STS IDE. I use testNG.xml file to run it as testNG Suite. I use Bitbucket to store all the repositories. Now I want to run the Selenium TestNG test using Bamboo. I have already connected Bamboo to Bitbucket to use the repositories. But I can't figure out how to configure the testNG.xml file, java file, and the jar to Bamboo.
Does any one have any ideas of how to go about it. I have searched from the net for quite sometime, but I haven't come across any good tutorial or guide of how to go about it.
To execute your tests in Bamboo you should use some executable build tool. Bamboo supports Ant, Maven, Command line, Grails.
Thank you so much for the quick reply. I have made the modifications in code using Maven which executes when I use Eclipse IDE. My biggest problem is with bamboo, I don't have a cue what to put in Executable and Environment variable fields as shown below.
In the Executable field I have tried to link it up with the JARS from my local machine, but nothing happens.
Please guide me from here as the configuration seems to be my biggest issue.
Please see instructions at Readme section. It looks like you configured everything except Maven capability. please follow link in readme to receive more instructions how to setup it. It's pretty easy, you just need to define path to Maven home folder in your environment.
I am trying to execute testng using ant in bamboo. Please visit this link for config details. The problem mentioned in that link has been resolved, but I am unable to execute testng with chromedriver.
I am now getting configuration failure: 1, skips: 1. The testng listener is unable to initialize chromedriver.
Or should I use htmlunit driver? And how to set its capability in bamboo?
PS: Ant and JDK capabilities are already set, and I'm running chrome in headless mode. I haven't also downloaded selenium-java client. i am just working with standalone selenium server jar.
Thank you so much for the help. At last it has worked out.
The simplest and most scalable way is to used Selenium IDE and this add-on in Bamboo. With one build plan you can target all major browsers from one build plan.


The Rolls-Royce Fabergé egg: start saving now?
You've seen the Halo head protection on F1 cars; modelled on McLaren flip-flops?
Storck Fascenario.3 Aston Martin Edition bicycle: yours for £16k!
Introducing the Aston Martin... sofa?
Mazda Soul of Motion perfume... yes, really!
Car designers are an innovative bunch - you'll struggle to visit a studio at any car maker around the world and not find it stuffed with non-automotive objects. Both items of desire, inspiration and, often, objects they've designed themselves. Here we pore over some of the best gadgets and merchandise that bears little relation to their four-wheeled products.
As luxury items go, the Rolls-Royce Fabergé egg sounds expensive - and is. The two famous luxury brands have teamed up to build the Spirit of Ecstasy Fabergé Egg - a one-off item that nestles the mascot inside a contemporary eggshell. Seven craftsmen and women made the egg from rose gold vanes and 10 carats of white diamonds; the egg will be shown at Goodwood and then the Fabergé store in London this Christmas.
What is it with car makers and teaming up with bicycle brands?! Mercedes has partnered up with Rotwild to create this: the Rotwild R.S2 'Beast of the Green Hell' bike. It's a handbuilt racing bicycle, which ustilises a carbonfibre frame, 29-inch Crankbrothers Cobalt 11 wheels and a load of Shimano running gear. Yours for 7109 euros, or roughly £6332. Ouch.
When Renault entered Formula One in 1977, its cars wore a distinctive yellow livery and often returned to the pits steaming and whistling thanks to over-worked turbos. Team boss Ken Tyrrell dubbed it 'the yellow teapot' and the nickname stuck for La Regie's F1 cars. So what better way of celebrating four decades in top level motorsport than launching an actual yellow teapot? Designed by the company's design team and sporting the same yellow paint as the RS17 racer, it's sure to deliver a speedy cuppa.
Can you put any more angles on a Bluetooth speaker? This is the Lamborghini Esavox from iXoost - a massive boombox with enough speakers to blow out your windows and plenty of Lambo design touches. The on/off button is operated by a starter button switch a la the Huracan and the quad exhaust pipes look like they've been lopped clean off an Aventador SV. Available in four different colours and steal at £21,900 a pop.
'Neither a car seat nor a pure piece of furniture or design' claims the press bumf, but these are definitely office chairs that have been designed to within an inch of their life. These come to you from Ferrari Design and have been sculpted from carbon fibre or 'alutex', which is a blend of aluminium and glass fibre. Two shapes are available; the Executive seat has the shorter backrest, while the taller President version is for the high flyers of office life.
For years Bentley has made pampering cars that are the ultimate soothers. But for 2017 it's taken things to the next level - by making an actual bed you can sleep in. It's part of the Bentley Home collection, which includes this Eastgate double bed (above) designed by the architect Carlo Colombo. Crewe hails its 'posed volumes and elegant design,' although we're disappointed the maple-rimmed headboard doesn't have organ stops to control in-bed ventilation.
Meet the Bugatti of bikes: to coincide with the launch of the Chiron hypercar, Molsheim has teamed up with upmarket German cycle specialist PG to make this: the PG Bugatti Bike. Weighing less than 5kg, the makers claim it's the world's lightest special urban bike (whatever that means), thanks to the use of carbonfibre, titanium and aluminium shared with the four-wheeled car. Just 667 will be made. Click here for our Bugatti Chiron review.
You too could look like some kind of Riviera-based Fonz with this blue-tinged, hand-polished creation from the 'Ettore Bugatti capsule collection,' with quilted stitching on the back designed to match the seats in the new Chiron hypercar. Matching driving gloves optional.
Apart from building racing cars to fill grids the world over, Yorkshire-based sports car specialist Ginetta has branched out into clothing, with its Ginetta Lifestyle range of motorsport-inspired coats, cords, boots, brogues and even a race-harnessed rucksack.
Pininfarina loves dabbling in non-car stuff - it even had a hand in designing the new Eurostar coaches soon to be whizzing underneath the English Channel. In August 2015 it showed off its new SK Pininfarina bicycle, developed with Milan-based artisan bike maker De Rosa: weighing just 6.7kg, it's a low-drag machine honed in the wind tunnel, made from carbonfibre and cog-swapped by a Campagnolo eletronic gearset. How to compete in the Tour in Italian style?
Fabled Italian design house Pininfarina doesn't just design cars and bikes, you know. On 21 September 2015 it unveiled a luxury mega-yacht at the 2015 Monaco Yacht Show: developed with shipbuilder Fincantieri, the Ottantacinque is 85 metres long, has five decks, twin swimming pools and accommodation for 14 passengers and 19 staff. One for oligarchs only, perchance?
Maranello knows a thing or two about rinsing its brand for all its worth - you may have noticed the explosion of Ferrari Stores at the world's more urbane airports. But even we were surprised when we spotted the latest Ferrari Back to School Collection by Cartorama. Yes, your kids can now go to class armed with a go-faster pencil case.
Inspired by the stance of the CX-3 crossover. Here's hoping it's more comfortable than it looks. The sofa, too.
Lamborghini collaborated with the Italian d'Avenza Fashion tailoring brand to create this hand-cut jacket first shown at a fashion show in Florence in June 2015, complete with silk-yarn finished buttons. We're not sure if the flaps lift up at speed to aid cooling.
Made from aluminium and wood, and painted Liquid Blue like the GT show car. Neither paint nor guitar are for sale.
Intended as an exercise in minimalism, the frame is hand-hammered from a single sheet of steel! Seat and stitching are inspired by new MX-5 interior.

President Trump listened to a question during a cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump appeared poised Tuesday to end two months of scorched-earth confrontation without the money he demanded for a border wall as Republicans pressured him to accept a bipartisan spending deal rather than close the government again on Friday.
Trump pronounced himself unsatisfied with the agreement brokered by House and Senate negotiators, and he refused to publicly commit to signing it. But he all but ruled out another government shutdown and emphasized that he would find "other methods" to finance a border barrier, leading aides and allies to predict he would grudgingly go along with the deal.
But he said he was "moving things around" in the budget from "far less important areas" to finance a wall even without explicit congressional approval, and he expressed no desire to repeat the standoff that shuttered many federal agencies for 35 days. "I don't think you're going to see a shutdown," he said.
The following is a transcript of the full remarks from President Trump at a Tuesday Cabinet meeting, as provided by the White House.
The compromise measure, assembled by senior members of both parties on Monday night, includes just $1.375 billion for new fencing along the border with Mexico, far short of the $5.7 billion Trump sought for a steel or concrete wall — and less even than the deal that he rejected in December, prompting the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
The new measure will be taken up as early as Wednesday by the House, which is controlled by Democrats, followed by the Senate, which is run by Republicans.

FORMER APHIS ADMINISTRATORS: AGRICULTURE INSPECTION FUNDING SHORTFALL 'UNTHINKABLE'
Four former USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) administrators are urging Congress to address a significant funding shortfall that, if left unaddressed, could leave the country vulnerable to foreign animal and plant diseases. This is particularly important as Germany reported this week its first case of African swine fever in a wild boar. America's first line of defense against introduction of ASF and other foreign animal diseases and pests is inspection of passengers, passenger baggage and cargo at ports of entry by the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection's (BCBP) Agriculture Quarantine Inspectors, wrote the four former administrators in an op ed published in Agri Pulse on Tuesday. The inspectors are funded by Agricultural Quarantine Inspection (AQI) program user fees, however due to the COVID-related economic downturn and travel restrictions, there has been an unprecedented and dangerous drop in the collection of these user fees. With travel and cargo arrivals not likely to recover next year, APHIS estimates that it will require $630 million to fund these agricultural inspections through the fiscal year ending in September 2021. "It is unthinkable that we would forgo these port of entry inspections and impose a significant risk to U.S. agriculture and public health. We urge Congress to take immediate action to appropriate the $630 million needed to fund these inspectors through September 2021," the former administrators wrote. "Sufficient funding would ensure our agriculture inspectors continue to prevent harmful animal and plant diseases from entering the country, and our $1 trillion agriculture sector remains a vibrant, economic powerhouse throughout the nation and world," they added. NPPC has been leading efforts to ensure there is sufficient funding for BCBP agricultural inspectors. Read the full op-ed here.
'SKINNY' GOP COVID PACKAGE FAILS SENATE VOTE
On Thursday, Senate Democrats blocked a "skinny," $500 billion COVID relief package introduced by Republicans, significantly reducing chances of a compromise before the November election. Senators voted 52-47 on the bill—which included $20 billion in additional aid for agriculture and another round of Paycheck Protection Program funding, among other provisions—but failing to get the 60 votes necessary to advance. The bill was viewed as a messaging tool, allowing Senate Republicans to show near-unanimous support for efforts to help the U.S. economy through this crisis, even though the package would not be taken up by the Democrat-controlled House. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) criticized the bill as being "emaciated" and "filled with poison pills." Despite this week's setback, NPPC is hopeful Congress can rekindle talks on another COVID relief package that includes these NPPC priorities: 1) compensation for euthanized and donated hogs; 2) additional funding for animal health surveillance and laboratories, which have appropriately assisted and shared resources with their public health partners; 3) modification of the Commodity Credit Corporation charter so a pandemic-driven national emergency qualifies for funding; 4) additional funds for direct payments to producers without restriction and; 5) extension of the Paycheck Protection Program with modifications to make it useful to more producers.
UK, JAPAN REACH FREE TRADE AGREEMENT
On Friday, the UK and Japan announced they have struck a trade deal, the U.K.-Japan Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement. This represents the first major trade deal for the UK since leaving the European Union, and will increase trade with Japan by an estimated 15.2 billion pounds. UK businesses will benefit from tariff-free trade on 99 percent of exports to Japan. As the UK explained, there will be "strong tariff reductions for UK pork and beef exports." The U.S. is currently in its fourth round of trade talks with the UK. In October 2018, the Trump administration first announced its intention to negotiate a trade agreement with the U.K. NPPC is supportive of negotiations, provided the agreement eliminates tariff and non-tariff trade barriers on pork, and that the U.K. acknowledges meat industry standards as equivalent.
UK TAKES 'MAJOR STEP' IN PROCESS TO JOIN CPTPP
On Wednesday, the UK announced it has taken what it describes as a major step in the process of joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). UK International Trade Secretary Liz Truss, alongside the current chair of the CPTPP Commission, Mexican Economy Minister Graciela Márquez, opened discussions between senior UK trade officials and chief negotiators from all 11 members of the partnership to discuss the possibility of the UK joining, the government explained. This marked the first time the UK met with chief negotiators from the 11 members, and the first time any country has sought membership since the partnership was created in 2018. "If the UK decides to apply, it will enter into a formal accession negotiation with all member states," it explained. The free trade area removes tariffs on 95 percent of goods traded between its members. The 11 countries that compromise CPTPP are: Canada, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. Those same countries, along with the United States, previously comprised the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). After President Trump withdrew from TPP in 2017, the remaining countries negotiated a new trade agreement, CPTPP.
EU TAPS FORMER LATVIAN PRIME MINISTER AS NEW TRADE COMMISSIONER
On Tuesday, former Latvian Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis was named the European Union's new trade commissioner, replacing Phil Hogan who resigned last month. As EU's main trade point person, Dombrovskis will work with his U.S. counterpart, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, as the U.S. and EU work towards a free trade agreement. On Oct. 16, 2018, the Trump administration announced its intent to negotiate free trade agreements with several new markets, including the EU. The EU maintains high levels of tariff protection, as well as scientifically unjustifiable sanitary-phytosanitary and technical barriers to trade that make shipment of U.S. pork to the EU difficult, if not impossible. NPPC is urging the EU eliminate all tariff and non-tariff barriers to U.S. pork and recognize the equivalence of U.S. pork production practices, as well as accept exports from all USDA-approved facilities.
NPPC HOSTING VIRTUAL FLY-IN NEXT WEEK
NPPC is hosting its fall Legislative Action Conference next week. The virtual fly-in draws pork producers from around the country to meet with Congress and discuss various issues, including support for a COVID-relief package that includes much-needed assistance to hog farmers in crisis and efforts to ensure Congress fully funds foreign animal disease prevention programs. Among speakers will be House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson (D-Minn.), Rep. Ron Kind (D-Wis.), Rep. David Rouzer (R-N.C.), and USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Chief Veterinary Officer Dr. Burke Healey.

When upgrading your latest IBM i hardware, you might besides occupy more decisions than you feel. With the wonderful ability constructed into late mannequin system i and power systems, you can breathe able to operate a minor improve on current hardware, in set of relocating to the newest power 7+ machines. listed below are some suggestions on the passage you may breathe capable of stretch your present hardware as opposed to purchasing a unusual laptop.
if you sized your existing desktop correctly, you may occupy more than adequate excess skill to sojourn with the current hardware for a few more years. I occupy one client who purchased an eight-core vigour 7 720 computing device in 2011 and simplest bought five IBM i working gadget licenses. they've three leftover cores that aren't getting used for construction processing. Their hire runs out in 2014, however they can besides without difficulty find that they don't should improve to an influence 7+ laptop. In 2014, they should buy one to 3 further IBM i working gadget licenses for his or her unused cores, which would enormously boost their CPW, probably removing the requisite for a power 7+ upgrade.
This alternative could besides breathe purchasable for you.
With the tremendous CPW protected in IBM's energy hardware, you may well breathe able to damage the upgrade cycle via activating the unused capabilities to your current machines. You may additionally locate that performing a minor upgrade on an current desktop is more cost-effective than upgrading your whole gadget or changing your realm with a forklift improve (field swap).
in case you wish to operate a minor upgrade through including IBM i operating gadget licenses to unused cores as an alternative of upgrading to unusual hardware, listed here are some items you requisite to suppose about.
• conclude you occupy unused processors that you can buy IBM i operating gadget licenses for? This altenative is barely accessible when you've got unused processor skill to your gadget.
• How an dreadful lot will including an IBM i working system license can charge? It's more cost-effective so as to add working gadget licenses to low-conclusion machines similar to P-10 power 720 packing containers, than it is so as to add OS licenses to high-end machines corresponding to P-30 vigour 770 containers. For P-10 bins, that you would breathe able to likely win an IBM i license for under $20K with twelve months of protection. For P-30 bins, that identical IBM i license can can suffuse you someplace above $50K with 365 days of upkeep. Your hardware configuration matters.
• Will you requisite to pay a processor activation expense besides the operating system license? On some of the mid-market machines such as the energy 7+ 720, each and every of the processors are activated when the machine is shipped (however you ought to purchase operating gadget licenses to develop disburse of them for IBM i processing). On the greater halt machines, such because the vigour 7+ 770s, the entire processors may additionally no longer breathe activated when they're shipped, and you may ought to pay a suffuse to set off a processor earlier than which you could connect an IBM i operating outfit license to that processor. once again, measurement matters in how lots you'll pay.
• How an dreadful lot additional disk house will you need? counting on your disk utilization, you may requisite to add greater disk capability in case you're planning on preserving the laptop for a longer duration of time.
• Will you requisite extra memory? You'll wish to race some efficiency evaluation to your container to examine in case you requisite to add more recollection together with your processor. That generally is a sticking factor for a minor upgrade, if your laptop is already maxed out on recollection and besides you want more. besides breathe conscious that there may breathe pricing considerations in including reminiscence to bigger power systems such because the 770, than there are for smaller programs. confer with your company accomplice to stare the exact suffuse of including reminiscence.
• How a lot will hardware and application maintenance cost you? this is the greatest sticking point for performing a minor upgrade for expanding computing device longevity. depending on how historic your laptop is and what P-group it belongs to, it may well breathe pretty elevated priced to buy further hardware and software preservation on your container. if you requisite extra maintenance, the key is to pay your maintenance on a quarterly foundation so that you don't should sequel out a lot of money up front for one to 2 years of protection and you can with no worry cancel your preservation without having to quest information from for a refund. prefer a stare at this article for extra suggestions on contracting with IBM for getting prolonged upkeep in your verve i machine.
• How a whole lot processing augment will chance over your anticipated existence cycle? in case you improve your existing machine, will it's satisfactory to address centered growth for the following couple of years? If viable, win company augment projections to breathe sure you'll occupy satisfactory ability when expected company spikes occur.
Given these issues, perquisite here's how I'd fashion finding out between replacing/upgrading your latest hardware to the latest power methods and performing a minor upgrade on your latest machine.
1. verify your wants when it comes to additional processing power (CPW), disk, memory, further hardware features, and the entire equal gadgets you could always evaluate for any upgrade. This should breathe your target capability. disburse the record presented above as a e-book, and add to the checklist, as needed.
2. As most appropriate that you may, determine the life cycle you wish to role your upgraded desktop over. The lifestyles cycle is regularly limited by means of your expected lease time period, which is continually lower than forty five months. once you win to the halt of the lease, you requisite to develop a conclusion on what to conclude with the desktop (an artificially bounded existence cycle). in case you're paying cash for your machine, you'll breathe able to retain the desktop for as long because it's running and it can fill your processing needs (an unbounded existence cycle). additionally develop inevitable to travail with management to win simple enterprise growth assumptions over the goal life cycle.
three. win a quote from your enterprise confederate on what it could prefer to improve your existing machine to the latest verve system hardware or to effect a container swap emigrate to unusual hardware. size the unusual computing device if you want to fill your processing needs over your predicted lifestyles cycle.
Be conscious that with the extended capabilities of the unusual vigour systems, you may additionally even breathe in a position to downgrade your vigour outfit from its current P-community (P10, P20, P30) to a abate P-community laptop that offers the equal volume of CPW as your current field. here is especially accurate if you're upgrading from an influence 6 or vigour 6+ computing device to a power 7+ desktop. You may besides find, for example, that a power 7+ 720 desktop with three processors offers extra CPW than your latest energy 6+ 550 laptop with 4 processors. Your company associate might besides try to promote you on staying on the identical computing device plane with the identical variety of processors, but don't breathe afraid to feel smaller. You may breathe able to win more CPW for less, and rescue money in the technique.
four. win a second quote out of your industry accomplice on what it might prefer so as to add your goal ability to your present verve outfit hardware. check what it's going to can suffuse when it comes to processor activations (if indispensable), OS licenses, extra disk, further reminiscence, extended preservation, and so forth. This may besides or may additionally now not breathe a workable alternative, reckoning on your processing and lifestyles cycle wants and the age of your latest hardware. The stealthy is to generate a 2d alternative that may breathe in a position to forestall cash. although you don't role a minor improve to your present hardware, it's positive to stand in intelligence why you requisite to circulation to the newest power device machines.
5. anatomize both charges and check which one choicest meets your needs over your predicted existence cycle. develop your gold criterion altenative in accordance with industry needs.
These are just just a few ideas for how that you could crop back your acquisition charges when upgrading your latest energy hardware. There are a number of other thoughts that can besides breathe explored. believe free to electronic mail me at joe@joehertvik.com with another ideas you may additionally occupy for reducing your improve prices. I'm passionately interested in the IBM i and vigour methods upgrade technique and would worship to evaluate notes.

The dataset contains assistance scraped from a million images posted on Flickr, a Popular image sharing web site, beneath the artistic Commons license. It became launched by IBM within the hopes that it might advocate develop facial cognizance systems much less biased.
In an e mail received by means of The Register, IBM sent a hyperlink to the dataset this week to a list of americans that had been granted access to develop disburse of the data after applying for license by means of an online questionnaire. "if you had snag with the down load link for the DiF dataset, gladden download the dataset from this unusual link (zip file, ~376MB)," IBM's research ambit in Faces (DiF) crew wrote.
The crew proceeded to ship the e mail to lots of of e mail addresses, revealing the names of people who were given entry to the dataset. the majority of people had been college students and academics from universities from the united states, China, Italy, Japan, united kingdom, Canada, Australia, unusual Zealand, and more.
several of them are from private companies. Some are from reputedly innocuous industries dote a contact lens or online gaming company, others are more suspicious, besides the fact that children, and are concentrated on constructing biometric and surveillance systems. a number of of them are directly affiliated with the military and law enforcement.
Two personnel from MITRE, a R&D industry funded through the us govt with links to the department of protection and department of endemic land safety (DHS), had been despatched the hyperlink to the DiF dataset. MITRE is at the second working on various tasks, including deciding on biometric facial identification from photographs and video clips.
It's no stealthy that the DHS are interested in the disburse of AI to determine individuals of interest from databases in video feeds. documents published with the aid of the challenge on govt Oversight (POGO), a non-income organization investigating the U.S. federal government, revealed that a consultant from the united states Immigration and Customs Enforcement changed into drawn to Amazon's industry facial awareness gadget, Rekognition.
other institutions stick out too. There are researchers from Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Huawei on the listing. someone from the armed forces Academy, an establishment comparable to a university that trains officers for the Portuguese army additionally had entry to the dataset. As did a PhD student from China's countrywide college of protection technology, working beneath the beneath the chinese language executive's imperative defense compel fee. they occupy requested them for comment.
China has prioritised AI to augment its economic climate and country wide security. It has been specifically swift at adopting facial focus in airports, restaurants, and on its public streets and has used the equal expertise to crackdown on its Muslim population.
"Given how the chinese government has been the disburse of AI facial focus techniques in Xinjiang, within the perpetration of gigantic-scale human rights abuses against Uighur Muslims, it's in fact viable that the training facts launched by means of IBM can breathe used for insidious AI applications," Justin Sherman, a cybersecurity policy fellow at unusual the usa, a Washington, DC-based believe tank, advised The Register.
atsec guidance protection is completely satisfied to declar completion of a criterion criteria assessment of IBM Processor aid/device manager (PR/SM) LPAR for IBM outfit z9 industry class (z9 BC) and z9 enterprise class (z9 EC) at comparison assurance plane (EAL) 5. IBM's unusual z9 company classification (z9 BC) mainframe platform is designed for small to medium industry computing wants. The z9 enterprise category (z9 EC) turned into previously termed IBM system z9 109. IBM PR/SM turned into licensed by passage of Germany's Federal workplace for counsel safety (BSI). IBM subsidized the comparison effort.
PR/SM is a cornerstone of IBM's mainframe safety. PR/SM's analytic partitioning facility allows the elements of a solitary physical zSeries computing device to breathe divided and shared by passage of divorce analytic machines, each in a position to operating z/VM, z/OS or Linux. each and every of these operating techniques had been evaluated under the typical standards with the aid of atsec at different evaluation assurance stages. The device administrator can configure the diverse analytic machines to breathe inevitable complete isolation from one a different; one analytic computer can not capitalize erudition about some other analytic machine's attainable I/O resources or carried out operations. This assurance allows for PR/SM to fulfill stringent necessities for confidentiality of processed counsel together with necessities mandated with the aid of the federal executive and the banking industry.
The very successful partnership of atsec as contrast lab, IBM as sponsor, and BSI as certification constitution has resulted in timely completion of four PR/SM certifications since might besides 2004, in fraction because the product odds won by using atsec and BSI each and every over their preliminary scrutiny of the product may well breathe carried forward to later critiques. This adventure has additionally ended in the EAL5 evaluation methodology files offered via BSI (AIS34), which kind a sound foundation for such high-assurance opinions. The nearly ceaseless procedure of re-evaluation of PR/SM has successfully ensured that shoppers are supplied with timely assurance of the PR/SM security elements.
EAL5 certification includes consciousness by using member international locations of the regular criteria consciousness association (CCRA) on the EAL4 degree. The PR/SM for IBM z9 BC and z9 EC contrast is the newest in a sequence of a success tasks with the aid of atsec to certify knotty programs at bold assurance levels. From early in its historical past as a typical standards evaluation lab, atsec has led the manner in working gadget opinions beneath each the German BSI and U.S. CCEVS Schemes. atsec's list of critiques at this degree considering the fact that 2002 contains IBM AIX 5.2; six Linux models on five distinctive platform architectures; two IBM z/OS versions, as neatly because the zSeries-based z/VM and PR/SM digital laptop and analytic partitioning products.

Q: Problem on time complexity If $a = O(m)$ and $b = O(n)$, is it true that $a+b = O(m+n)$?
I would try to break it down to $a \le cm$ for some $c$ and $b \le dn$ for some $d$, so if I were to add the right hand side, it would be $cm+dn$, but I don't seem to be able to translate that to a big O/Theta/Omega.

A: Recall the definition of "big O" notation: A function (or algorithm, where run time is a function of input size) $f(n)$ is said to be $O(g(n))$ if  there is a constant $c$ such that
\begin{equation*}
\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{f(n)}{g(n)} = c.\end{equation*}
In your example, you say that $a$ is $O(m)$ and $b$ is $O(n)$, but what you are really saying is that they are both linear (or sub-linear) functions of their input size.  So $m$ and $n$ are just two different variable names, and therefore we may as well say that both $a$ and $b$ are $O(n)$, where $n$ is the input size.
Then it is not too hard to see that if \begin{equation*}\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{a}{n} = c\quad\text{and}\quad \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{b}{n} = d\end{equation*}
for some constants $c$ and $d$, then
\begin{equation*}
\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{a+b}{n} = c +d.\end{equation*}
This shows that $a+b$ is $O(n)$.

A: Unless $m$ and $n$ define something physical in your problem/algorithm, you could as well call the result O(n). O() notation is more concerned with the variation in powers, eg: $n< n \log(n) < n^2$ etc. So, $(n+m)$ is same as $(n)$

Q: Override Django Slug I have a blog in wagtail. Wagtail's default Page model already has a slug field defined. Full Example is here
slug = models.SlugField(
        verbose_name=_("slug"),

I have a Subclass AddStory of the Page class, so I am unable to define slug there. And I am getting a clashing error.
Problem:
The slug field automatically generates a slug from the Title. So There are some kind of event whose title will be same always. Like Jokes of the day, So for the first 10 or 20 days, editors will know that they have added 20 posts with day_1,day_2... at the end of the slug and when these days will increase it will be impossible for them to remember how many they have entered?!
Probable Solution
So if I can automate the slug as it will generate a slug from random ids or strings and it will be unique.
I tried this in the subclass AddStory
def pre_save(self):
    def randomid1(self):
        return(get_random_string(length=10))
    self.slug = randomid1

How can I define that it will not generate slug from the title instead it will generate a slug from given random strings?

Hanukkah, or Why We Celebrate a Civil War
Unity is how we defeat the Hellenistic separatism within us, and become modern-day Maccabees, warriors of the light.
Next week we (Jews who observe Jewish festivals) will celebrate Hanukkah, a.k.a., the Festival of Lights. But the miracle of finding a tiny jar of oil that should have held just enough oil to light the menorah for only one day, yet it lit for eight, is only the end of the story. Its beginning was much grimmer and bloodier, yet it also underscores the eternal battle of the Jew—to preserve the values of brotherhood and mutual responsibility above all else.
Our mission, the legacy of our ancestors to bring the light of unity to the worldCredit: Dreamstime
In the year 167 BC, a Hellenized Jew stepped forward to offer a sacrifice to an idol in the worship place of the priest, Mattathias the Hasmonean. This was a routine procedure, part of an orchestrated campaign run by the Seleucid Empire to force the Hellenistic culture and belief system on the Jewish people. To their aid, the Seleucids used Jews who were taken by the charm of the Greek culture and philosophy to infuse the Hellenistic culture into Jewish life and force it on those who did not want it. But the Seleucids and their accomplices had not met Mattathias before. As the Hellenized Jew stepped forward in an attempt to carry out the government officials order, Mattathias rose and slew both the Jew and the official.
Fearing the governments retribution, Mattathias took his five sons and together they fled to the mountains surrounding their city, Modiin. There they could protect themselves while inflicting more casualties on the Hellenists.
All Michael Laitman's Columns>>
Hearing of Mattathias act of defiance, Jewish dissidents began to stream toward the mountains to join Mattathias and his sons in their struggle over the fate of Judaism. Thus began the revolt of the Hasmoneans.
The Jewish Civil War
We may not like to think of our joyous Hanukkah festival in such dismal terms, but the revolt of the Maccabees was not against the Greeks, as Hanukkah children songs describe, but against our own rogue brothers. It was a civil war. For at least the first year of the revolt, the fighting hardly targeted Seleucid soldiers. The majority of fighting took place between the Maccabees, as the Hasmoneans and their troops were called, and the Mityavnim—Jews who espoused the Hellenistic culture or converted into the pagan Greek belief system. Only much later, after the Mityavnim were defeated, did the Seleucid armies join them in an attempt to crush the Maccabees.
Why a Jew Would Fight a Jew
The war between the Maccabees and the Hellenized Jews is never ending. Within every Jew there is a Hellenist.Credit: Dreamstime
Contrary to what many in our tribe like to think, our nation is not like any other. Maimonides tells us (Mishneh Torah, Chapter 1) that when Abraham fled from Babylon, he did so because he realized that brotherhood was the only remedy to mend the ruptures in his homeland, yet Nimrod, King of Babylon, persecuted him for his conviction. Centuries later, Moses officially united us into a nation when we committed to love each other as ourselves and be as one man with one heart. Without this commitment, we are not Jews; we return to being the individualistic outcasts who fled their home tribes and have not yet found the uniting principles of mercy and love of others that will turn them into a nation. Without these tenets, we become each others enemies.
Yet, love of others is unnatural. The Torah tells us that Sin crouches at the door (Gen 4:7). Since our inception, we have had to fight the evil inclination in our midst. There have always been members of our nation who renounced the way of brotherhood and opted for the path of selfishness. Still, if we abandon the legacy of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses, who will be a light unto nations? Who will show the world that when egoism reigns, as it does today, the only remedy for our society is to cover it with love of others?
We must remember that the whole of our Torah, as Rabbi Akiva taught us, is love your neighbor as yourself. The Talmud also writes (Masechet Shabbat, 31a) that when a proselyte came to Hillel and asked to be taught Torah, Hillel replied, That which you hate, do not do unto your neighbor. This is the whole of the Torah.
Therefore, the war between the Maccabees and the Hellenists was not over land. It was about maintaining the Jewish adherence to the Torah—the law of brotherhood. The Jews who chose Hellenism abandoned that law in favor of worshipping the ego, competition, and power, and wanted to impose their dogma on the Jews who remained authentic.
Had the Jews succumbed to the agenda of the Mityavnim, there would have been no one left to show the world the path of mutual responsibility and care. This, in turn, would have denied the world of an example that it is possible to transcend the ego and unite, and the world would have been doomed to destruction by ego-driven wars.
For this reason, the Hasmoneans had no choice but to destroy those Jews who wished to prevent their brethren from fulfilling their task—to be a light unto nations and to show the way to unity. The victory we celebrate on Hanukkah is not over the land we reclaimed from the Seleucids. We celebrate our victory over those among us who wished to deny the world of a shot at unity, a shot at lasting happiness and peace.
The Hellenist Within Us
The war between the Maccabees and the Mityavnim is never ending. Within every Jew there is a Hellenist whispering that it is better not to unite and be like everyone else, chasing egoistic pleasures. After all, isnt this the way of nature?
Hanukkah reminds us we must never stop fighting our internal Hellenists. The history of our people proves that if we give up on unity, hatred will prevail. The victory of the Hasmoneans did not give Israel a lasting peace. Less than two centuries after their heroic triumph, unfounded hatred conquered even the best of us and inflicted the ruin of the Temple and our exile from our land.
Yet, our mission, the legacy of our ancestors to bring the light of unity to the world, has not changed or waned over the years. As I have shown in many of my writings, the nations sense that their inability to be at peace with one another is our fault. They hate us for their hatred of each other, and even the most flawless reasoning will not convince them otherwise. You cannot reason with a gut feeling.
Todays world needs unity more than it needs clean air, and it really needs clean air. The more peoples relationships deteriorate on all levels of human interaction, the more they will blame us for it. We have been, are, and always will be the chosen people—not to dominate the world in any condescending way, but to lovingly introduce it to the method of connection through our personal example.
The changes in our world are accelerating exponentially. We are growing more vicious and violent by the minute. No one knows when an all-out war will erupt, but the risk of an eruption is growing ever more imminent. This Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, we must remind ourselves that the light the world needs now is unity, and that we are the ones called upon to light it.
In these days of high political tensions, our tribe is more separated than ever. Yet, this is also our chance to choose whether we want to become selfish Hellenists or caring Maccabees. We are the ones who must light the flame of unity among us and put it on our windowsills for all to see and follow suit.
Brotherhood is how we defeat the Hellenistic separatism within us and among us. This is also how we learn to love our neighbors as ourselves, and how we become modern-day Maccabees, warriors of the light.
May we have a happy and united Hanukkah!

Q: Determine convergence of series with natural logarithm I am trying to determine the convergence of the series below: $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\frac{(n+1)}{(n^2+2)\ln(n+3)}}$$
I've tried comparison test, Cauchy-condesation, but nothing seems to work.

A: $$
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\frac{n+1}{(n^2+2)\ln(n+3)}} \ge \sum_{n=3}^{\infty}{\frac{n}{2\cdot n^2 \cdot\ln(2n)}} = \frac{1}{2}\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}{\frac{1}{ n\ln(2n)}}
$$
Now, by the Cauchy's condensation test we have that
$$
\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}{\frac{1}{ n\ln(2n)}}
$$
converges iff
$$
\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}{\frac{2^n}{ 2^n\ln(2\cdot 2^{n})}}
$$
converges.
But
$$
\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}{\frac{2^n}{ 2^n\ln(2\cdot2^{n})}} =\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}{\frac{1}{ (n+1)\ln(2)}} = \frac{1}{\ln(2)}\cdot\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}{\frac{1}{ n+1}} = +\infty
$$
by the divergence of the harmonic series. It follows that
$$
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\frac{n+1}{(n^2+2)\ln(n+3)}} \ge \frac{1}{2}\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}{\frac{1}{ n\ln(2n)}} = +\infty.
$$

A: Using the integral test, it is trivial to show that $$\sum^{\infty}_{n=2}\frac{1}{n\ln n}$$ diverges. We may match indices with this from your series by doing the following
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\frac{(n+1)}{(n^2+2)\ln(n+3)}}=\frac{2}{3\ln4}+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}{\frac{(n+1)}{(n^2+2)\ln(n+3)}}
$$
By taking the limit comparison test, we can show that the behavior of the two summands $\dfrac{1}{n\ln n}$ and $\dfrac{n+1}{(n^2+1)\ln(n+1)}$ have the exact same behavior: the rational powers on the latter cancel to match the behavior of $\frac1n$, while the constant in the logarithm vanishes at infinity to match the behavior of $\frac1{\ln n}$.
Thus $$
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\frac{(n+1)}{(n^2+2)\ln(n+3)}}
$$ diverges
