AC/DC "Back In Black" Song Analysis
"Back In Black" is by many accounts one of the greatest hard rock songs of all time, and it's the title track from AC/DC's seminal Back In Black album, an album that's one of the best sellers of all time (thanks David Gee for the request). This was actually the 6th album by the band, but the first without singer Bon Scott, who had died suddenly, causing the band to briefly consider disbanding. With the newly hired Brian Johnson as their new lead singer and lyricist, and Mutt Lange (who had previously on their Highway to Hell album) set to produce, the band was soon to reach heights that no one could have anticipated. What most people don't know is that Back In Black is the 2nd biggest selling album of all time, with 49 million copies sold world-wide (22 million in the US alone).
THE SONG
"Back In Black" is a very typical rock song form-wise. It uses mostly arrangement techniques to develop the song rather than varying too much from the normal rock song form. It looks like this:
intro ➞ verse ➞ chorus ➞ verse ➞ chorus ➞ verse (solo) ➞
chorus ➞ bridge ➞ chorus ➞ verse (solo)
As you can see, there's basically only two sections - a verse and chorus. The solo happens over a verse, and a different guitar line with a variation on the chord changes of a verse is used to change it into a bridge.
In their typical style, AC/DC keeps this song as pure as possible with almost no overdubs except the lead guitar. First of all, listen to the turn around between 8 bar phrases during the solos. It's still a verse, but it sounds different thanks to this slight change of bass and rhythm guitar. There's nothing added to the 2nd verse to develop it, which is unusual, but it still works great, as do the background answer vocals added to the last chorus.
Arrangement Elements
The Foundation: bass, drums and rhythm guitars
The Pad: none
The Rhythm: unusual for a rock song, the vocal is in double time to the pulse of the song in the verse so it adds motion
The Lead: lead vocal and solo guitar
The Fills: lead guitar between the vocal lines in the verse, background vocal answers in the last chorus
The other thing that's interesting is the dual count off, first with muted guitar strings and then the high-hat. Countoffs are almost always cut off from a song (they're the sure sign of a demo), but here it just adds to the live feel.
The sound of this record is great - big, pristine, very real and in your face, but there's a lot more going on beneath the surface than it seems. Although the record seems bone dry, the rhythm guitar has a long reverb tail that only appears on the same side (the right channel) and the lead guitar has a short double that's panned to about 1 o'clock of the rhythm guitar side.
Brian Johnson's vocal is doubled, but the second voice is not at the same level and instead just there for a bit of support. The snare has a nice room ambiance, but also has an ever so slight bit of delayed reverb added to it as well. Angus Young's solo guitar is overdubbed and placed up the middle.
Finally, check out how the guitars are actually more clean than they are distorted, a point that's lost on many a guitar player.
"Back In Black" is such a band oriented song that except for a few extra parts for support, what you hear on the record is exactly what you hear live. In order to pull this off, the band has to be exceptionally tight during the recording, which AC/DC certainly is.
The thing to listen for is how disciplined the band is. They play only what's necessary, with no extra ghost notes, slides or other things that you'll hear most copy bands play when doing this song. Also note the way the attacks and releases are played by the bass and two guitars. They're perfectly in sync.
Finally, listen how far behind the beat drummer Phil Rudd is, giving it that tension that the song needs to really work well at that tempo.

Music Career Killers
The ever entertaining DIY Musician blog has a post called "Music Career Killers! Sure Ways To Ruin Your Chances For Success" that's worth a read, but I thought I'd zero in one particular item.
"Music Career Killer #13: Playing every crap gig you get offered.
When you first start out you might as well play every show that comes along because this is valuable experience, and can even save you some money on the practice room. This becomes a career killer, though, when you continue to play every bad show that comes along in the hopes that it might just convert one new fan.
Playing to empty rooms with no pay not only sucks, but it's also like a cancer to your career because it will destroy your enthusiasm. Next time you get offered a bad show, turn it down and spend the evening connecting working toward getting a killer show. One really good gig is worth a hundred empty venues."
Anyone that's ever gigged a lot knows that there's nothing more disheartening than playing to empty rooms gig after gig. It might not be your fault at first, since maybe the only slot you can get is midnight on a Tuesday, but sooner or later this turns into a downward spiral that's tough to break out of.
The problem is that playing to empty houses allows you to slip into to bad habits both as a band and as a player that can be hard to snap out of later. You can easily start to run through the motions and slip out of a professional show just to keep things interesting, and then it's usually down-hill from there.
What's true is that even if there's only one person in the audience, you should play it as if there are 10,000, but that gets harder and harder the more empty gigs you play.
A story that I like to tell is about going to a club to listen to a band and there were only 7 people in the audience. Unbeknownst to the band, one was a major manager, another was a big agent, and the third was a major PR person; the other 3 people were friends of the band. The band sleepwalked through the set, leaving absolutely no impression on some people that might have been able to change their career had they played up to their capabilities.
So take Music Career Killer #13 to heart and resist playing any crappy gig just to play (unless your starting out). One gig truly can be worth a hundred empty venues.

Dave Grohl's "Sound City" Documentary
For those of you who've never been around the LA recording scene, you probably don't know about Sound City Studios. This was a sort of dumpy studio in an industrial part of town about as far away from the glamour of Hollywood that you can get, yet some of the best records of all time were made there. Artists like Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Cheap Trick, Elton John, Metallica, Foo Fighters, and so many more legendary artists made some of the greatest rock recordings of all time at the studio.
Unfortunately the studio closed about a year ago, but its memory lives on thanks to a new documentary by Foo Fighter's frontman and Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl called appropriately enough "Sound City." The film will debut at the Sundance Film Festival, but a trailer for it was just released, which you can see below. I can't wait!

How To Play Funk
Here's a great clip from Herbie Hancock's Rock School series about how to play funk. It features some greats like Larry Graham, Bootsy Collins and Nile Rogers as they show in slow motion how to bring the funk. Rock School ran on PGS from 1985 through 1988.

New Music Gear Monday: The Yamaha/Steinberg Nuage
People that work on Nuendo absolutely love it, as well they should. It has a slick user interface and it sounds great. One of the things that the platform has sorely needed was a worksurface as good as the software, something that Steinberg, then Yamaha has struggled with. That now may be over with the introduction of Nuage (which is French for cloud).
Nuage is an integrated system comprised of worksurfaces, a Master Control unit, analog and digital IO, and a PCI network card. It's designed to work at up to 128 channels of 192k/24 bit source audio, which while impressive, is overkill since Yamaha says the unit is directed at post, which is a 48k/24 bit world.
Take a look at the video. Nuage is slick and you get the feeling that you can just jump right in and work. The price is said to be $18,000 to $30,000, depending upon the configuration, which might be a little too pricey for the American market. I'm sure we'll learn more at NAMM in January. Visit the Nuage page for more info.

Mountain climbing adventure roguelike Insurmountable launches April 29 for PC, later for PS4 and Xbox One
Switch version also being considered.
Mar 22 2021 / 10:08 AM EST
Mountain climbing adventure roguelike Insurmountable will launch for PC via Steam on April 29 for $19.99 / €19.99 / £19.99, developer ByteRockers' Games announced. It will be available at a reduced price of $17.99 / €17.99 / £17.99 until May 6.
PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will follow at a later date. The press release actually mentions "PlayStation 4/5 and Xbox One S/X" versions, but when asked to clarify if this meant the inclusion of native PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions, rather than only PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions playable on the newer consoles through backward compatibility, a representative for ByteRockers' Games said, "We can't provide specifics at this time." A Switch version is also being considered.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
Insurmountable is an adventure roguelike with permadeath, in which the player has to overcome huge mountains. Thanks to the procedurally created environment, no two climbs are the same. Make sure that your climber stays alive by always making sure that your vital values don't get into the critical range. This task is made more difficult by a dynamic weather system, day/night changes and a multitude of randomly generated events, where you never know in advance how they will end. Your decisions matter… every single one. Because anyone could be your last.
Choose one of three characters with different skills and background stories and start by climbing the first mountain. Search crates, caves and ancient ruins for equipment from past adventurers. You'll need it, because even the first mountain will demand everything from you. But don't worry. As time goes by, you'll become stronger and stronger. Decide freely in a sophisticated skill system, which strengths should have your*s climber*in.
In the course of each of the three mysterious stories, you will meet dangerous animals, overcome deadly abysses, encounter sinister and well-meaning characters, who do not always have to be human. Here, too, each of your decisions decides the following events.
Three mountains have to be conquered at the end. One higher and deadlier than the previous one. Divide your forces and your equipment correctly, because you don't have a second attempt and you can forget about learning a route. In Insurmountable you have to cope with unknown dangers, react spontaneously to unpredictable events and realize in the end that, as in life, you can't always know the consequences of your decisions, but you have to cope with them anyway and in the end, it often turns out differently than you thought.
Face the challenge of ever new and changing dangers, face snowstorms and the sheer force of nature, always keep your eyes on the summit and overcome the insurmountable.
No two climbs are alike.
Procedurally generated mountains.
Dynamic world with different weather effects.
Hundreds of events with ever-changing outcomes.
Strategic gameplay in path finding, and stat and equipment management.
Three characters with different abilities.
Watch a new trailer below. View a new set of screenshots at the gallery.

The wild mustangs encourage and protect each other, but what will happen when the man and his tame horse show up? Can the mustangs save themselves or will they be forced to abandon all they've ever known?
... That night, Snake became anxious and began to fuss in his stall. He was very uneasy and felt the need to get out immediately. Confused, he began to kick violently at the enclosure. The other animals in the barn reacted to the noise and there was a flurry of activity among them as well.
The walls of the stalls were solidly built and did not give in to the force of his thrusting legs. He didn't know why, but he knew he had to get out. Stepping back for a moment, he eyed the door through which he had entered the stall. Somehow, he knew that it was his only chance of escape. Moving forward with great force, he slammed his broad chest into the door. The force of the hit stung and he heard a small snap! The door did not move. Backing up, he charged at the door again and hit it squarely with his chest, ignoring the pain. There was a sharp cracking sound from the sturdy wood and the other animals in the barn expressed their objections to the commotion, becoming increasingly upset. The chickens, which had been calmly dozing in the aisle, scurried outside to avoid the noise. Many of the other horses craned their necks over their own doors to try to determine exactly what was happening.
Snake again lunged at the door and made solid contact with his shoulder, producing more damage to the hardware holding it in place. Turning around quickly, he gave a mighty kick with his rear legs and one of the hinges actually popped off, flew across the aisle, and hit the stone wall on the other side with a shrill ping before falling to the earthen floor.
He stopped, breathing heavily. After a moment, he rammed the door again and there was an enormous crunch as the door broke away from its frame and landed with a thud on the floor. Still not even knowing why he felt the need to escape, he just stood there, looking at his handiwork. Once his breathing had returned to a normal rate, he quietly stepped past the battered door and into the aisle. Looking to his right, he saw the darkness outside and trotted to the main doorway. The rest of the horses watched in curious wonder as he exited the barn and disappeared into the night.


The Commission on Science and Technology for Sustainable Development in the South (COMSATS), in collaboration with the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO), and COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT), Pakistan, organized an International Seminar on "Nano-materials in Energy and Environment", in Syria, from 21st to 23rd September 2010. This international Seminar, hosted by the Damascus University, Syria, was the first of the series of events to be undertaken under COMSATS–ISESCO Cooperation Programme 2010-2012.
The emphasis of the Seminar was on the use of nano-science and -technology to address the issues of renewable energy and environmental preservation in Islamic countries. Key areas addressed during the event were: fundamentals of nano-science & technology; synthesis and characterization of nano materials and its applications in energy and environment; solar cells; catalysis; fuel cells; bio-fuels and sensors. Eighteen invited speakers from USA, Pakistan, Iran, Malaysia, Jordan a nd Egypt were the resource persons for the event. In all, 38 contributory papers were presented by the participants. The Seminar provided the participating research scholars and engineers from various disciplines of nanotechnology, a platform to share their research outputs.
The major outcome of the event was an understanding reached regarding a stronger collaboration among the nano-technology institutions in Islamic countries; and an enhanced awareness of the participants regarding the latest developments in this new and emerging field. The development of curricula for undergraduate and graduate programmes in nano-sciences for the scientific institutions of the Islamic countries was also discussed.

We put the finishing touches to our first HTML5 Mobile Browser game tonight and it's now ready to find a home with a sponsor.
Called Nutmeg, the game is a single "button" platformer set over 5 challenging levels. An increasing variety of baddies, spikes, traps and tricky jumps to negotiate stand between you and rescuing the 5 kidnapped chicks.
Those of you familiar to this site may recognise the graphics from the Flixel platformer tutorial I wrote. It seemed sensible to give them a new lease of life and they look great on mobile resolutions Technically I'm happy with the game. Parallax scrolling, animated sprites, a full detailed intro sequence, particle effects and highscore leaderboards make it closer to the sort of game we'd typically create in Flash. We built it on an iPhone 3GS as our base test unit, but it plays ok on an Android Nexus One. As with anything performance is quite device specific though.
We contacted a range of mobile games portals today, but as there is no single unified place to put games up for sponsorship yet (like Flash Game License does for the Flash world) we figured it wouldn't hurt to post this blog entry up.
So if you run a mobile games portal and are interested in a site-lock deal for the game, please drop me an email: rdavey@gmail.com with a link to your site and the outline of your offer, and we'll take it from there!
Posted on March 9th 2012 at 8:19 pm by Rich.
Looks great Rich! I want to see this on ALL THE PORTALS!
Great game. Adds a huge amount of credibility to mobile web gaming.
Looks great! Did you use your own custom framework or did you leverage a 3rd party API like ImpactJS? And another question how long did it take the team to put this game together?
Looks great. Can't wait to play it. How do you make site-locking in html5? Is it server-side things or just some cool obfuscation methods?
great game. If you are a game developer or know someone who is, if you're interested, you might want to take a look at this site http://www.juegosenmovil.com/index_en.php this site offers information on where you can publish your games and software for mobile phones to be submitted to their software directory for mobile devices as well as information about mobile programming mainly with Java J2ME. Visit the site now!
To answer some questions: Yes this one uses ImpactJS, although I've had to hack around the core a lot to get it to do something extra things. The reason for using Impact is simply that this game fitted what it can do well (i.e. scrolling tile maps!). Time to build was around 5 days (spread over evenings).
Eugene – site-locking is just a JS browser check at the moment. It's easy to hack out though (but then let's face it, it's easy to hack out of SWFs too :). The time investment in this game didn't warrant bothering with server-side checks imho.
Really was too good, photon, you are the best, I can see ducks game again, it is actually the version of the HTML 5.
Any luck getting sponsorships yet?
Someone needs to set up a wiki page or something that list all the places that sponsor HTML5 games.
Yes, this has sold well – much more than we expected actually. I'm planning a round-up article for our first 3 html5 games and how they all sold. So hold fire for it, coming soon(ish).
What about a sound in mobile browsers? Isn't it a problem for sponsors that it is so limited? Do they understand that?
What are you going to publish in blog post you mentioned: some numbers or also list of sponsors:)?
And last thing, is it available anywhere to play already?
They don't want sound. Mobile html5 games have to be small, most of them want 1MB maximum size, or less. Sounds take-up loads of space so are best left out. Plus they are a nightmare in mobile browsers. Only load/play on touch events, rubbish like that. Best to just avoid completely.
I can second that comment – sound is not worth the effort in HTML5 just yet, and to be honest may never be for these types of mobile games.
Hi. This game looks fun. Where can I play it?
Interesting what you say about sound, we've had a few portals ask for sound FX!


Soft shell crabs are in season from May until September, but if you aren't near the beach, and even then, you'll most likely be eating a frozen one. Freezing is not quite as good if the chef doesn't dry the crab out before cooking. I've only had fresh soft shell crab once and it was amazing.
The crab is a Blue Crab that is molting (shedding its shell) in order to grow larger. The crab farmers only have a 1-3 hour window of opportunity to harvest the crabs in the "soft" form by collecting the crabs just before they molt and watching them until the perfect moment. After that the new shell starts to harden. The hardening process can be slowed for fresh soft shells by putting them on ice, but freezing obviously stops the process completely.
To clean the crab before cooking all you need is a sharp pair of scissors. First turn the crab over and find lungs (left picture above), which are a fibrous like tissue right where you might think they are supposed to be. Cut them off. Then look for the apron which is also on the bottom and is hard, cut it and anything that seems too hard to eat off. Finially flip the little guy over (right picture above) and cut off the head and eye section. Pat him dry and you are ready to go.
Look in the frozen sea food section of your store or ask the fish monger, they will point you to the right spot. Many stores carry pre-cleaned crabs or the fish monger can clean them for you. The Prime size is good for sandwiches, but any size will do. The larger ones are easier to clean.
If you can't find them at your local store, you can also buy 2 dozen small crabs from our Fat Farm Store , or here at the store for 12 crabs totaling 1.5 lbs and have them shipped to your home.
Believe it or not, according to Cook's Bible there are 9 ways to cook fish. I'm going to give you the short course on all 9 today. Selecting and storing fish is another story all together and we'll tackle that another day. I will only tell you that the best way to select a fresh fish is to stick your finger into the meat. If the flesh does not spring back to its original shape or if it exudes water, that fish has been out of the water too long or was not properly handled. Fresh fish are like "Friday Night Lights" in that they should have "clear eyes" also.
1. Braising – Braising is a method of cooking in a liquid. For fish the proper cut to braise is a steak. Saute the fish steak on both sides with olive oil in an oven safe skillet or Dutch-oven. Remove the fish and reserve it for later. Add onion, garlic, shallots or similar ingredients to the pan and saute them for about 5 mins, separately from the fish. Then add to the pan about 1/2 cup of your braising liquid of choice, which could be anything from water, stock, vinegar, or olive juice to wine. Bring to a simmer and improve the mix with capers, anchovies, olives or other such stuff. Return the fish to the pan and put the whole pan in a 400 deg oven for 8-10 minutes per inch of fish thickness.
2. Steaming – Stove top steaming can be accomplished in a "steamer" purchased for just that purpose or in any deep Dutch-oven or pot that can handle the size of the fish. Into the deep pot add about 1 inch of water and arrange along the bottom something like cookie cutters or cooking rings or anything heat safe that will hold your fish above the water. We are trying to steam the fish not poach it (see #3). You can then put your fish on a plate or pan that will fit in the pot and let it rest on the cookie cutters above the water. Bring the water to a slow boil and put the lid on the pot. Steam the fish for roughly 10 mins per inch of fish. Most whole fishes will cook in under 15 mins. The picture to the left shows a couple of nice slices of fish in a bamboo steamer. The cook has placed ginger and herbs on the fish while steaming.
Oven steaming can be even easier to do. Place you cut of fish on a large sheet of heavy aluminum foil. Season fish with salt, pepper or other spices or peppers and herbs. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon or lime, or wine on the fish (about 2 tablespoons). Then fold the foil together over and over from the top, then both ends to create an air tight package, leaving a little space above the fish for steam. Put the foil fish package on a cookie sheet and into a hot oven, 400-425 deg, for roughly 12-14 mins or until the package puffs up. Carefully open the foil and serve. This method is good for fillet or small fish steaks.
4. Pan-frying – Pan frying fish is just what it sounds like. I fry everything in olive oil, both for health and flavor reasons. Put 1/2 cup of oil in a frying pan. Bring to a med-high heat (about 375 deg). Meanwhile dredge the fish in beaten egg then in a combination of flour and cornmeal or Panko breadcrumbs. Some people use cream of wheat. Then fry in the hot oil for a few minutes per side or until nicely browned.
5. Sauteing – Sauteing is best accomplished with a fish fillet in a hot pan of butter and olive oil. A small amount of olive oil is added to the butter to raise the smoke point of the butter. Coat the fillet with seasoned flour or breadcrumbs or some combination of coatings, then saute in a about 1/4 inch of the butter/oil until brown and crispy. Cook quickly and hot.
6. Broiling – This is by far the simplest method of cooking fish. Just brush the fish with oil or butter and cook the fish in a oven safe pan in the broiler of your oven for 8-10 mins. You don't even have to turn over a thin piece of fish.
7. Grilling – This is the hardest method of cooking fish. With sticking a problem, fish can fall apart, so select a nice firm fish such as swordfish or use a grilling basket to hold the fish. Sea foods are nice to grill. Shrimp is easy in the shell and lobster is amazing. The problem with grilling is the heat. You need a med heat to cook fish, which is hard to accomplish on the grill. Remember to remove the fish when it is slightly under-cooked to allow the residual heat to finish it off. Tuna is nice on the grill (see the picture on the left).
8. Roasting – Roasting is the best way to cook a whole fish. Place the fish on a roasting pan in a hot (450 deg) oven and cook until done, basting with hot oil or butter during the roasting process. The fish is done when the skin easily peals off or the tip of a sharp knife can easily pierce to the bone.
9. Marinating (Ceviche) – Yes, this is a cooking method. Marinating fish in a acidic liquid for a period of time actually cooks the flesh. Because no heat is used, you should only try this method with very fresh fish and shell fish. Cut the fish into small 1/4 -3/8 inch cubes and marinate in the refrigerator covered in vinegar, lime or lemon juice for 4 to 24 hours. Combine with other flavors and serve.
put loin in oven and cook until internal temperature reads 129 deg F.
Internal temperature should now read over 140 deg F.
Slice and eat while still warm.
This recipe assumes a 3-4 lb loin. Internal cooking temperature is the key to the success of this dish. Cooking to over 150 deg F will produce a dry flavorless piece of meat.

Additional TV Features
TV brands are constantly adding extra features to their latest models. If you're a football fan, have limited space or simply want the latest thing, look out for these high-tech additions when you're shopping for a new television set.
Football Mode
Football Mode is a new feature on some Samsung TVs that enhances the atmosphere, sound and view of the match. It's perfect for die-hard fans who don't want to miss a moment of the action.
This interactive feature gives you greater control of the picture, allowing you to zoom in, replay match highlights and get better views of referee decisions. With Football Mode on, the game appears much smoother and more fluid, making it easier to see what's happening.
To recreate a lifelike stadium, sounds such as the crowd and the smack of the ball are enhanced to give the most authentic experience possible. If you don't want to listen to the commentary, you now have the option to turn it off so you can focus on the game itself.
Built-in DVD Players
Consider a TV with a DVD player built in (also known as a DVD combi) if you have limited floor space or don't want to buy an extra device that could clutter up your home. This feature is really useful for bedrooms and kitchens, where you might have space for a TV, but nothing else.
Interactive Controls
Newer TVs with smart technology often have voice and motion control for better and more enjoyable interaction – particularly models from LG and Samsung.
Voice recognition lets you control your TV without having to use a remote, and motion controls lets you swipe through menus, change volume levels, and zoom and rotate images.
Many people like to connect their laptops, mobiles or tablets to their TV, to watch Netflix on a bigger screen, play games or look at photos with the family.
This is called screen sharing and can be achieved either through cables or wirelessly.
Many brands have their own version of this, which works best (or only) with their own devices. However, some TVs support Miracast, which is the industry standard and works with a wider range of products.

With two 180gm records, a tip-on heavy stock jacket, original gatefold with complete lyrics, this formidable release also includes printed sleeves with track details, a rare image from the cover sessions, and a brief essay honoring arranger David Van De Pitte. Highlighted is a main essay by acclaimed author and poet Hanif Abdurraqib who was just named one of the 25 recipients of the 2021 MacArthur "genius" grant.

Sitting at the No. 1 spot on Rolling Stone's 2020 list of "The 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time," What's Going On has proven its evergreen relevance and its legacy will continue to influence and shape the music of future generations.

About Southington UNICO
In 1944, 28 men with Italian origins from the town of Southington formed a UNICO chapter in their community. Twenty-two years earlier, the inaugural UNICO chapter had been established in Waterbury with its Italian-American membership providing service to community.
From the start, Southington UNICO members embraced three objectives: service to fellow man and community, fostering and promoting Italian heritage, and supporting charitable educational projects. Founding members, such as Ralph DellaVecchia, also adopted the club motto of "Service Above Self" and those values that are inherent in the word UNICO, which is an acronym for Unity, Neighborliness, Integrity, Charity and Opportunity.
Nearly three-quarters of a century later, Southington UNICO has fostered a standard of excellence within the community via such longstanding traditions as the prestigious Gold Medal Award, the Unified Sports and Theater Program at Southington High School, and annual distributions of $30,000 to local and national charitable organizations and initiatives.
The true spirit of the club is well represented in the longevity and family ties of many of Southington UNICO's nearly 100 members. Many have been involved for decades and have joined along with family members.
"I joined in 1972 because I wanted to be involved in a local civic organization and I had many friends and family already participating in UNICO," explained DellaVecchia of his longstanding commitment, which included a stint as club president in 1975.
By his side for nearly 30 of those years has been Mark Sciota, who calls his fellow Unicans "the finest citizens of Southington." Mike Fasulo joined the organization in 1991 and served as club president in 2005.
"The gratification I get from being an important part of what UNICO provides and promotes is invaluable," said Fasulo. "I am brought to tears when I see what UNICO means to the kids of Unified Sports. I'm also very proud of my heritage, so UNICO allows me to honor that and give of myself at the same time."
Through fundraising, Southington UNICO is able to give back to its community. In 1968, the town of Southington hosted its first Apple Harvest Festival and Southington UNICO proudly set its tent up to be a part of the festivities. It was all hands on deck for the preparing of the meatball and sausage and pepper grinders that would be sold at the festival.
Also in the late 1960s, Southington UNICO established the inaugural John L. "Jiggs" DiCaprio Memorial Golf Tournament. UNICO was one of the first civic organizations in town to initiate an annual golf tournament to support charitable causes, and the tourney continues to be an annual undertaking for the club.
Other initiatives include hosting the Southington Italian-American Festival, which UNICO has been a lead supporter and organizer of since its inception in 2005.
"The highlight of the festival is the traditional outdoor mass celebrated in Italian," said Mario Izzo, a club member for 20 years and a past president. "The mass is followed by a procession with the statue of Madonna Della Strada. These are Italian traditions that are carried out throughout many towns and villages in Italy. Together with the Sons of Italy, we are proud to bring these traditions back to Southington."
Each year the club also honors the top 25 students in each graduating class at Southington High School and funds the entire SHS Unified Sports and Theater programs. UNICO got involved with the program in 2010 as a sponsor but now funds 100 percent of the associated costs, which include uniforms, bus transportation, and a banquet for the athletes.
"One of our major goals is to help people with intellectual and physical disabilities and since day one I have been very moved by these kids. It's overwhelming to see their faces as they score a goal in soccer, make a basket during a basketball game, or run a race during a track event," said 2017 club President Ron Ingriselli who has been a club member since 1990.
Another undertaking on the club's plate is the Goat Island project. Southington UNICO is facilitating the reconstruction of the communal ovens on the property adjacent to the Quinnipiac River. Once known as the "Ellis Island for Italians," the East Summer Street property will help educate residents about some of the town's first Italian immigrants. The 6.5-acre parcel was sold to the town in 2007 by the Angelillo family (Joe Angelillo, although now deceased, was a past president of UNICO) and a portion of the property is leased to UNICO for $1 a year in order to recreate the special oven house – or communal oven – that was once the center of daily life for families in the neighborhood. The brick structure endured until the winter of 2010-2011 when the structure collapsed. UNICO members are currently working to resurrect the oven as both a cultural and educational offering for residents.
"The Goat Island project fulfills two of our club's objectives because it fosters and promotes Italian heritage and it will be used for educational purposes. Our Italian classes and other groups will take field trips to the site to see how people used to live during the 1800s," said DellaVecchia.
Past President Dave Zoni noted that annual contributions to Southington Community Services, Bread for Life, the Southington YMCA Campership program, scholarships and donations to victims of Cooley's anemia, a disease that affects children of Mediterranean descent, all lend to the overarching UNICO mission to promote goodwill through civic and charitable endeavors.
"Our members work diligently in an unselfish manner to benefit our community on so many levels," said Zoni, who currently serves on the club's Board of Directors. "They are truly unsung heroes who are willing to place their fellow man, woman and child above themselves for the greater good."

We were so fortunate to be invited to the Battersea Park fireworks on November 6th by the good folks at Wandsworth Council. Especially fortunate because they invited us to the guest tent where we were given a front row seat to the show. Firework photography has never been one of my digs, it's all about the aesthetic and not enough about concept. But boy did we have a grand time on Saturday. It was so good to just kick back and play again, not making the night some technical challenge and just being in the moment, the music, the bright lights and canon explosions. Watching the changing glow of red and blue and silver light on the faces of the spectators one could witness adults turn to kids. This magic and enjoyment in the wundernacht was sometimes equally beautiful to watch as the glittering trails cascading across the London sky. For twenty minutes seeing colour and light wash across a crowd of thousands creating a zen-like hush across a sea of faces.


One of the most important first ceremonies you can hold for your child is their baptism or christening. The ceremony usually has an air of seriousness and reverence, with the aim of welcoming the baby into your family's faith. After the ceremony, comes the party which is usually more upbeat and fun, a celebration of life, family values, tradition and is an opportunity for your family and friends to show their love for the new born. The Palace Catering has a lot of experience planning baptisms and christenings and we have gained a lot of skills, knowledge and expertise which we are delighted to offer to you as you plan for this special day.

I totally agree with you, just didn't know if there was an established priority setup or etiquette. We all have seen surfers take off on everyday.
I am kinda curious whats the etiquette if there are surfers out... How is priority established then? Obviously "we" shouldn't be wave hogs..... But curious?
Awesome review! Makes me want to stop being so cheap and buy one.
So the Pro model (Alberto) with carbon helps offset chop and adds more flex? Non boot rider so I am thinking 135.
thanks for the awesome feedback on the board. If you don't mind me asking what wind range do you ride in and how much do you weigh since you are riding the 138. I was leaning towards the 135 only weighing in at 165.
Have you tried it in the surf at all?
Yup thats the board I am asking about..... Give me the 2 min tour on the board. What do you like what don't you like? How does it deal with chop? Every try it in waves? How is the pop? Etc...I imagine its an upwind machine with the outline. Would you buy another?
Cabrinha 2014 Xcaliber? Any feedback?
thats awesome! Congrats on getting him hooked young!

Maryland Matters: Analysis: The Census Data and the Political Reordering to Come in Md.
Print Page | Posted on August 13, 2021
By Josh Kurtz
The following is an excerpt from the original Maryland Matters article.
Baltimore City leaders knew they were coming.
And yet, the newest population numbers from the U.S. Census, delivered Aug. 12 on the hottest day of the year, hit them like a torrent of cold water in the face.
Baltimore's dramatic 5.7% population loss over the past 10 years means the city is sure to face a corresponding loss of political clout in the decade ahead — no matter how many allies it has in the highest echelons of power in Annapolis.
That's one of many political threads that will be pulled over the next several months, as state politicians and policymakers seek to use the Census data as part of the recipe for congressional and legislative district maps that will be in place until the elections of 2032.
Baltimore wasn't the only Maryland jurisdiction to see significant population losses — far from it. But the latest numbers did produce a significant degree of handwringing in the city.
Donald C. Fry, President and CEO of the business group the Greater Baltimore Committee, called it "unacceptable for a city with the many positive attributes Baltimore has, from its affordability, diversity, strong neighborhoods, historical and cultural attractions to world class healthcare and universities, to lose residents."
Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott (D) scrambled to put the dreary numbers in historical context and asserted that city leaders are putting policies in place to stanch the bleeding and slowly build back the city's population.
"Today's population figures are the culmination of more than 70 years of population decline, showing why we must pivot from the status quo towards inclusive economic policies that improve the lives of our legacy residents, while attracting new residents," Scott said Aug. 12. "Understanding that much of Baltimore's 21st century population loss has been driven by an exodus of African American households, my administration will be focused on equitable economic development. We can no longer leave any corner of our city behind."
Census figures help determine how much federal aid is distributed to states and local jurisdictions, but they are also key weapons in the raw redistricting political battles that will follow.

It's Not JPMorgan's Fault If Frank Lied — A Commentary by Stephen L. Carter '79 The Washington Post
John H. Langbein, Sterling Professor of Law and Legal History, will give a British Academy Law Lecture on March 17, 2015, in London. The talk, titled "The Four Epochs of Jury Trial in England," will discuss the history of jury trial in England from medieval to modern times, describing four distinct epochs of its development.
Professor Langbein is a legal historian and a leading American authority on trust, probate, pension, and investment law. He teaches and writes in the fields of Anglo-American and European legal history, modern comparative law, trust and estate law, and pension and employee benefit law (ERISA). His books include The Origins of Adversary Criminal Trial (2003), History of the Common Law: The Development of Anglo-American Legal Institutions (with R. Lerner & B. Smith, 2009), and Pension & Employee Benefit Law (with D. Pratt & S. Stabile, 5th ed. 2010). Professor Langbein was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1987. He is an honorary fellow of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and a corresponding fellow of the British Academy. He is admitted to the bar in Florida and the District of Columbia, and as a barrister of the Inner Temple in England.
The British Academy Law Lecture series was established in 2004 at the suggestion of the Academy's Law Section.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, please email events@britac.ac.uk.


In this the 50th year of James Bond we are certainly are being spoilt with a number of once off and rare events celebrating 50 years of James Bond. I got the heads up about this rather unique and interesting series of conventions being held right in the heart of London City by London Film Memorabilia Conventions a while back – but haven't really had the time to look into them properly or mention them. Over the long weekend I had a chance to go through my voice mails and catch on some emails and was reminded of what looks to be a rather spectacular set of conventions for Bondologists James Bond and Hammer fans.
ON SATURDAY 22 SEPTEMBER THE LONDON FILM MEMORABILIA CONVENTION ARE HOLDING A SPECIAL GOLDFINGER DAY!!! CELEBRATING ALL THINGS GOLDFINGER.
A retrospective celebration of the quintessential James Bond film! GOLDFINGER! With members of the Goldfinger cast and crew, reuniting for a one day and one-off unique event!
A Sir Ken Adam Retrospective With Sir Christopher Frayling.
The Golden Girls – Their Recollections Of Working On Goldfinger.
Norman Wanstall – The Art Of Editing.
As always: More guests to be announced soon and all guests appearances are subject to change due to work commitments.
Dealers from four continents selling Goldfinger related merchandise as well as rare and original James Bond film memorabilia!
Plus vintage James Bond retro toys and games! The day also includes retrospectives and special talks plus cast & crew signings!
Eunice Gayson will do her first signings of her new autobiography - " The First Lady of Bond : My Autobiography " at the London Film Memorabilia Convention!
Again - more guests to be announced soon and all guests appearances are subject to change due to work commitments.

Q: Netbeans, creating custom table model from drag and drop gui designer. I have an application I use for an inventory of items, I am trying to add a JTable to a JFrame in my code. I have created an extension of the AbstractTableModel object called ItemTableModel. I have also dragged and dropped a JTable onto the designer view in netbeans for the respective JFrame, and renamed it to m_jtTable.
public class ItemTableModel extends AbstractTableModel
{
    Inventory inv;
    int rowCount = 0;
    int colCount = 3;

    public ItemTableModel(Inventory in)
    {
        inv = in;
    }

    @Override
    public int getRowCount()
    {
        return inv.itemList.size();
    }

    @Override
    public int getColumnCount()
    {
        return colCount;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col)
    {
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getValueAt(int rowIndex, int columnIndex)
    {
        Item it = inv.itemsList.get(rowIndex);
        Object retO = null;
        switch(columnIndex)
        {
            case 0: retO = (Object)it.getItemNumber(); break;
            case 1: retO = (Object)it.getDescription(); break;
            case 2: retO = (Object)it.getPrice(); break;
            default: retO = (Object)new String("null"); break;
        }
        return retO;
    }
}

Then in a method in my JFrame I have the code below after an inventory is loaded
    ItemTableModel data = new ITemTableModel(this.inv);
    m_jtTable.setModel(data);

I have a few questions, what do I need to call to draw the table? Do I need to specify my table model to netbeans specifically? How do I specify column names? And if something changes in the inventory, how do I redraw the table to reflect this? (I plan to search the inventory and display possible results in this table by changing its Inventory to one with just the search matches)
Also, I don't need/want to make any cell editable, this table is just for viewing.

A:
what do I need to call to draw the table?

Generally, nothing.  If the table has being added to a visible component, setting the model will automatically update the table with the contents of the model

Do I need to specify my table model to netbeans specifically?

While you can "build" a model in the editor, generally, no.  You should simple create the model and apply it to the table within the code source, but after the initComponent has being called...

How do I specify column names?

There are a couple of ways, but the easiest is to override the TableModel#getColumnName method and return an appropriate name for the requested index

And if something changes in the inventory, how do I redraw the table
  to reflect this?

This will depend on how you model is implemented.  You could recreate the model and re-apply it to the table.
A better solution would be to provide a add method, to allow you to add new inventory Items to the table, then raise the appropriate event using [AbstractTableModel#fireTableRowsInserted](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/table/AbstractTableModel.html#fireTableRowsInserted(int, int)) which will cause the table to update it self.
If you want to update an existing item, you can either use the setValueAt method directory, or provide some means that you can tell the model that a given item has begin changed, for example itemChanged(Item item) which would need to find the row that the Item represents and fire [AbstractTableModel#fireTableCellUpdated](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/table/AbstractTableModel.html#fireTableCellUpdated(int, int))

(I plan to search the inventory and display possible results in this
  table by changing its Inventory to one with just the search matches)

Take a look at How to use tables, Sorting and Filtering

Also, I don't need/want to make any cell editable, this table is just
  for viewing.

You've already overridden isCellEditable to return false, so that should be working...
Take some time to read through How to use tables for lots more details

Douglas Berger, Tokyo Psychiatrist comments on, "The Best and Not so Great Articles of 2017."
Original article: http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/psychotherapy/best-and-not-so-great-articles-2017 By Jerald Kay. MD. December 2017 issue of the Psychiatric Times.A few points regarding the articles presented:1. On the Roy-Berne et al. article on "highlighting the myth of precision psychiatry". I think Dr Kay and others need to have a long-term perspective. While genetic testing is a science in the embryo stage, it is not completely a myth. See this incredible study below. We need to be patient as this kind of science moves forward in the next 100-200 years-but it is not myth.
A population-based study of KCNH7 p.Arg394His and bipolar spectrum disorder. Hum Mol Genet. 2014 Dec 1; 23(23): 6395–6406. Strauss, et al.
"We conducted blinded psychiatric assessments of 26 Amish subjects (52 ± 11 years) from four families with prevalent bipolar spectrum disorder, identified 10 potentially pathogenic alleles by exome sequencing, tested association of these alleles with clinical diagnoses in the larger Amish Study of Major Affective Disorder (ASMAD) cohort, and studied mutant potassium channels in neurons. Fourteen of 26 Amish had bipolar spectrum disorder. The only candidate allele shared among them was rs78247304, a non-synonymous variant of KCNH7 (c.1181G>A, p.Arg394His). KCNH7 c.1181G>A and nine other potentially pathogenic variants were subsequently tested within the ASMAD cohort, which consisted of 340 subjects grouped into controls subjects and affected subjects from overlapping clinical categories (bipolar 1 disorder, bipolar spectrum disorder and any major affective disorder). KCNH7 c.1181G>A had the highest enrichment among individuals with bipolar spectrum disorder (χ2 = 7.3) and the strongest family-based association with bipolar 1 (P = 0.021), bipolar spectrum (P = 0.031) and any major affective disorder (P = 0.016). Although our genome-wide statistical results do not alone prove association, cumulative evidence from multiple independent sources (parallel genome-wide study cohorts, pharmacological studies of HERG-type potassium channels, electrophysiological data) implicates neuronal HERG3/Kv11.3 potassium channels in the pathophysiology of bipolar spectrum disorder."
On the Leichsenring F, et al. article on comparing CBT with psychodynamic therapy. Any head-to-head comparisons are necessarily unblinded, neither patients nor therapists can be blind, there is no blind-placebo comparator either, and there is no way to filter out patient preference or treater bias. All the study endpoints are subjective and there is no way to robustly and logically compare these modalities as there is some improvement seen in every group that has some expectation and hope and receives a helping hand. Conclusion: these studies are a non-inferiority examination of subjective parameters of a human condition leading to no possible scientific conclusion.
On the Fonagy et al. paper, there is no proof that Relational theory is better or worse than CBT or neuroscience in describing psychopathology. This paper is clearly opinion and conjecture, and should be stated to be so.
On the Cabitza et al. paper questioning machine learning for medical care. Perhaps this is true in psychiatry, but for a field like oncology, it is clearly better to have a machine on your team:
Watson will see you now: a supercomputer to help clinicians make informed treatment decisions. Doyle-Lindrud S., Clin J Oncol Nurs.2015 Feb;19(1):31-2. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25689646
+"IBM has collaborated with several cancer care providers to develop and train the IBM supercomputer Watson to help clinicians make informed treatment decisions. When a patient is seen in clinic, the oncologist can input all of the clinical information into the computer system. Watson will then review all of the data and recommend treatment options based on the latest evidence and guidelines. Once the oncologist makes the treatment decision, this information can be sent directly to the insurance company for approval. Watson has the ability to standardize care and accelerate the approval process, a benefit to the healthcare provider and the patient".

Douglas Berger, Psychiatrist in Tokyo comments on, "Sex Addiction: Playing Now in Theaters"
Douglas Berger, Psychiatrist in Tokyo comments on, "Sex Addiction: Playing Now in Theaters", By Roberta Zanzonico, MD and Renee M. Sorrentino, MD, Psychiatric Times, January 2018.
Original Article: http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/article/sex-addiction-playing-now-theaters
This article seems mired in needless philosophic details about how to care for this 85 year-old man with vascular dementia admitted to a psychiatry ward and who is a danger to other residents at his care facility, refusing oral and effective valproic acid and requiring several emergency antipsychotic injections. His daughter is ok with spiking his food with valproic acid but against antipsychotic treatment.
It is clearly much more unethical not to treat this man and let him harm his co-residents, nor to have to force injections on him which is a bit cruel. The treatment team is probably more worried about a legal case than ethics.
Assuming we did not live in a society with laws, it is simple enough to spike his food/drink with valproic acid solution and tell his daughter to continue to spike his food/drink at his residence or back home. Hopefully he would agree to blood tests, if he doesn't, the alternative is forcing injections on him that should have blood testing anyway. The answer is a no-brainer.
Because we live in a society with laws, his case should be petitioned by the hospital in court as soon as possible. Until the court date, he can be deemed acutely dangerous to others and that spiking his food/drink was better than forcing injections on him.
-If the court rules he can just have his food/drink spiked for his condition regardless of acute danger, all is well.
-If the court rules his food can't be spiked/drink unless he is acutely dangerous, then the treatment team can note that his condition makes him acutely dangerous daily (regardless of his actual behavior), and the daughter can decide to do what she feels is right for him, i.e., spike his food/drink when he is discharged, at her own legal risk.
-If the court rules that he cannot be given medication in his food/drink without his permission, regardless of the daughter having medical decision power and her agreement, the case should be appealed. If the appeals court still agrees with the lower court, then the man can be forcibly injected as needed and the case repeatedly appealed. This situation would be a failure of the legal system not of medical care. Ward staff might be able to refuse to take part in involuntary injections, or quit their job, on ethical grounds, further placing the legal system as the cause of a medical-mess.
