I explore a little rewire Notion with Cubase and I don't all understand the good way to adopt.
If I want to record a midi part of strings in cubase on a track and want to have the score in Notion recording in the same time, do I have to create 2 tracks in cubase (one midi track with my keyboard in input and EWQLSO in output and one with my keyboard in input and Notion rewire channel 1 in output) and record these 2 tracks in the same time ? I tried it works but after if I want to play the score in Notion the sound doesn't play in cubase even I change input of the midi track EWQLSO by Notion rewire channel 1 ... ?!
Notion 6.5 - Cubase 10.x 64bits- Pro Tools 2018.x - Windows 8.1 pro 64bits - wavelab element 9.5.x - core i7 920 - 18 Go RAM - 250 Go SSD (system) + 1To SSD (sound banks) + 32 Go SSD (current audio projects) + 4.750 To HDD.- ANTELOPE Discrete 4

So I think we have to create different kind of tracks to manage rewire in bi-directional between Cubase and Notion 6.
To control Cubase instrument with score from Notion you have to create a track instrument with
- input Notion rewire channel
- output Instrument midi channel into Cubase
To record score with a midi controller from cubase to Notion you have to create a midi track with :
- input your Keyboard or another midi controller
- output Notion rewire channel
So it's simple but I think recording score from Cubase is a little slow and complicated because you have to record in both the 2 softwares and it seems like it's not really really reliable ... it's what I experimented.
I don't know how to have Bass key notation, rewire by default put always G key ... ?!

At present I do not have any versions of Cubase, but I am getting the 30-day trial version of Cubase Elements 9.5--which appears to be taking a while, since I have not received the necessary email to do the download and authorization, but so what . . .
I have done a few experiments with earlier versions of Cubase (Steinberg) to determine how it does ReWire (Propellerhead Software), so I know how it works generally, as is the case with nearly all Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) applications now . . .
Depending on how I read what you wrote, it's possible there is something new in Cubase; but until I do some experiments with Cubase Elements 9.5, I cannot say . . .
If Cubase Elements 9.5 supports ReWire MIDI, then it's possible, but only if NOTION 6 ReWire MIDI staves are bidirectional . . .
When I receive the email from Steinberg with the download information, I will do some experiments and a follow-up post . . .
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR DOING REWIRE CORRECTLY
There are a few key bits of information to understand, and it takes a while to explain them; so be patient . . .
In some respects, this is vastly complex; but among other things I am software engineer, which makes it a bit easier for me to understand all this stuff, very little of which is documented clearly in one place, which is the reason I post information in this forum on how to make sense of all this stuff . . .
The encouraging news is that it works and after a while it will make sense . . .
(1) NOTION 6 only records the MIDI input from one MIDI input device to one staff in the score, so at most you can record notes in NOTION from one MIDI input device (typically a MIDI keyboard or MIDI workstation) onto one staff. You need to specify the MIDI input device as the MIDI Input for NOTION, and this is done in NOTION Preferences. You need to click on the staff in the NOTION score onto which you want to record the incoming MIDI from the MIDI input device. This selects the NOTION staff and tells NOTION that it is staff where incoming MIDI input is to be received. As a general rule, when NOTION is acting as a ReWire slave, activating the NOTION Record button is not done automagically when you press the Record button on the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) application, which in this instance is Cubase. This is a problem, but there is a way to work around it, although it is cumbersome. Basically, you need to create some empty measures in the DAW project and the NOTION score, so that you can click the DAW application Record button and then switch to NOTION and click its Record button . . .
(2) NOTION 6 can output MIDI from External MIDI staves to as many as 64 virtual instruments hosted in the DAW application, and the MIDI Output Ports are specified in NOTION Preferences. You need a virtual MIDI cable (or several, depending on what you are doing), and on the Mac you can create virtual MIDI cables via the "Audio MIDI Setup" application. Windows does not have a native application for doing this, but there are third-party applications that provide the necessary functionality for doing this . . .

LoopBe1 (nerds.de)
(3) NOTION 6 supports ReWire MIDI, and this is the strategy I recommend when you are using Studio One Professional 4 (PreSonus) as your DAW application, which I also recommend strongly, because both of these PreSonus products support ReWire MIDI and interact very nicely. To the best of my current knowledge, these are the only products which support ReWire MIDI this way. In contrast to NOTION External MIDI staves, which can output to as many as 64 Instrument Tracks, NOTION ReWire MIDI staves can output to as many as 256 Instrument Tracks in the DAW application, although in both strategies it is unlikely that so many virtual instruments can be hosted in the DAW application, especially if you are using a lot of effects plug-ins and "heavy" or "resource intensive" virtual instruments in the DAW application. After doing some experiments, I limit this to 12 or perhaps 16 virtual instruments at a time; and in the "ReWire MIDI Strategy" I compose music notation for this many virtual instruments and then record the generated audio in the DAW application, at which time I use the recorded audio and create a new set of 12 to 16 Instrument Tracks, retiring the previously used 12 to 16 Instrument Tracks, since now they are replaced by the recorded Audio Tracks. I do this in a sequential set of projects (".song" files in Studio One Professional 4), and for the most part I use one or two NOTION scores for this purpose, since ReWire MIDI staves in NOTION 6 have very low overhead. This is explained in detail in one of my ongoing projects in this forum, and the link is found later in this post . . .
(4) It is very important to understand that in a ReWire session, audio and MIDI are separate insofar as NOTION staves and the NOTION Mixer are concerned. It also is very important to understand that in a ReWire session, the DAW application is responsible for the audio, which in simple terms means that if you want audio generated by NOTION to be heard in a ReWire session, then you need to send the audio from NOTION to the DAW application via ReWire channels that are received by Audio Tracks in the DAW application. And there also is the matter of setting the Input Monitoring buttons correctly in the DAW application . . .
(5) When you send MIDI from NOTION 6 to the DAW application, you will send it to Instrument Tracks or MIDI Tracks, depending on the terminology the DAW application uses, although usually they are called "Instrument Tracks". MIDI is sent from NOTION to the DAW application via External MIDI tracks, which since they only do MIDI do not produce any audio and will show no audio activity in the NOTION Mixer, which is the expected behavior. You need to configure the DAW application to receive MIDI from the virtual MIDI cable(s) you have set in NOTION to be used for MIDI Output Ports via NOTION Preferences. Once everything is correctly configured for the External MIDI strategy, it works nicely . . .
(6) If you are using Studio One Professional 4 as your DAW application, then you can use ReWire MIDI staves in the NOTION 6 project; and based on the music notation you compose, these ReWire MIDI staves will send the corresponding MIDI to Studio One Professional 4 to play native or hosted virtual instruments on the corresponding Instrument Tracks. You can use the Inspector in Studio One Professional to do the configuring necessary to record the MIDI to the Instrument Tracks, but otherwise you will have the Instrument Tracks route the generated audio to corresponding Audio Tracks which you will use to record the audio generated by the respective native or hosted virtual instruments. No matter which DAW application you decide to use, the first time you do this it will take a while, because there is a good bit of configuring that needs to be done. After you have done it a few times, it's easy; and you can make "template" DAW projects and NOTION scores that you can use to make initiating a new song easy, with the key being to open a "template" with all the configurations already done and then immediately doing a "Save As . . . " to create the foundation for a new song, which is what you do in the DAW application and the corresponding NOTION score . . .
(7) The correct way to do this is to use NOTION 6 for composing the music notation and to use the DAW application for hosting the native and hosted virtual instruments. You can use a MIDI input device to record music notation in NOTION, but generally you want to do this separately, outside of a ReWire session. Otherwise, you can record MIDI in the DAW application, but again it typically will be one Instrument Track at a time. If you need to get the MIDI from one or more already recorded DAW Instrument Tracks into NOTION, then you can do an export of the MIDI from the DAW application and then import the just exported MIDI to a NOTION score. This is easier to do when you use Studio One Professional 4 and NOTION 6, because they have native import and export functionality that works nicely, which means that the two applications work cooperatively to do everything quickly and accurately with minimal user intervention . . .
(8) I have an ongoing project that provides great detail on doing the "ReWire MIDI Strategy" with Studio One Professional 4 and NOTION 6, and it includes YouTube videos that show how to configure everything . . .
Project: ReWire ~ NOTION + Studio One Professional (PreSonus NOTION Forum)
And I have other posts and topics on ReWire, including a few posts on doing ReWire with earlier versions of Cubase, also in this forum . . .
(9) For practical purposes, when a DAW application does not support ReWire MIDI fully, all you need to do is use NOTION 6 External MIDI staves with a virtual MIDI cable. One of the key differences is that with ReWire MIDI, you do not need a virtual MIDI cable, because the ReWire infrastructure creates the necessary pipes (UNIX terminology for a virtual MIDI cable in computer nerd language). As noted, I prefer the "ReWire MIDI Strategy", and it's the strategy I use now . . .
There is a way to record a MIDI input device like a MIDI keyboard in a DAW application and in NOTION at the same time, but it's a bit cumbersome and basically is a hack . . .
This is not the way to do it . . .
The recommended ways are either (a) to record the MIDI in the DAW application and then to send it to the NOTION score or (b) outside of a ReWire session to record the MIDI to a staff in NOTION and then to send the resulting MIDI to the DAW application, where if you record to a regular NOTON staff that is configured with a native or NOTION-hosted virtual instrument will generate audio that you can hear, but I suppose you also can record MIDI to an External MIDI or ReWire MIDI staff, except that you will not hear anything, because neither of these types of NOTION staves produce audio . . .
Unless there are some new features in Cubase, you can do what you need to do but not in the way you think you want to do it . . .
This is a YouTube video I created a few years ago when NOTION 5 was the current version and I was using Digital Performer 8 (MOTU) as the ReWire host controller, with NOTION 5 and Reason 7 (Propellerhead Software) running as ReWire slaves, which for reference probably is something few people actually do; but I like to do experiments like this just to determine what all the software can do . . .
[NOTE: The first part of the YouTube video shows NOTION 5 sending MIDI to Digital Performer 8, where the MIDI is recorded in Digital Performer 7, which as I recall also is playing some Reason 7 synthesizers. Recording MIDI sent from Digital Performer 8 to one External MIDI track in the NOTION score is shown in the second part of the YouTube video. You can get a sense of how complex this is, but once you do it a few times, it becomes easier. There's a lot of new stuff to learn, but it works when you know the rules and follow them exactly . . . ]
This YouTube video shows a ReWire session with Cubase Elements 8 where Cubase is the ReWire host controller and both NOTION 6 and Reason 9 are ReWire slaves. The NOTION score has both External MIDI staves that are playing Reason synthesizers and regular staves that are playing virtual instruments hosted in NOTION. The audio generated by NOTION and Reason is sent to Cubase via ReWire channels, and Cubase Elements 8 handles playing the audio . . .
[NOTE: There is no voiceover in this YouTube video, but so what. The purpose was to show that it works, not to explain how to configure everything . . . ]
And this is a more recent YouTube video that shows how to send MIDI from Digital Performer 9 to play the native NOTION 6 piano by using Digital Performer 9 as a pseudo-MIDI input device, which definitely is a bit of a hack and is not documented anywhere . . .
[NOTE: This works, because Digital Performer 9 allows NOTION 6 to share some of the transport control. If a DAW application does not share transport control, then this hack won't work . . . ]

Sinkhorn's Dilemma: Every paradox has at least one non-trivial solution!
Thanks for all these informations;
- Actually you're right, it seems like we can record only if the Midi port is seen by Notion 6, so with Cubase notion don't see any midi input from Cubase even rewire is active ... unfortunatelly, it's the big difference with the Studio One management between DAW and Notion 6 I think.
But we can in the other direction have a complete score with several channels in Notion 6 and play instruments affected to rewire channels in Cubase without problem (Cubase pro 9.5.41 for me), And record this score in midi (Notion 6 playing and Cubase recording) it's already cool.
To export a midi part from Cubase to Notion 6 ,obviously, there is always the workaround to export tracks to a midi file and open it in Notion.
- You can affect your midi controller (example : a midi keyboard) both in Notion MIDI input and in Cubase of course and record simultaneously into the 2 softwares, that's avoid to export midi part from Cubase to Notion (but as you told it's one part by one part)
cellierjerome wrote Thanks for all these information;
But ...
You don't have to use external midi (or virtual midi cables ) from notion with Cubase like Studio One the rewire channels works well in audio and midi to do that.
And it seems to me that we can record several channels at a time, I'll confirm it as soon as possible.
Audio and MIDI are separate . . .
When the instruments are hosted in NOTION 6, you can send the generated audio to the DAW application via ReWire channel pairs, and there are 32 available channel pairs (1-2, 3-4, . . . 63-64) in NOTION for doing this, which does not require a virtual MIDI cable . . .
This occurs when you use regular NOTION staves, which also can be VST Instrument and VST Preset staves, but here you are sending audio to the DAW application that is the ReWire host controller for the ReWire session . . .
Sending MIDI from NOTION 6 to a DAW application is a different matter, and it's done on either (a) External MIDI staves or (b) ReWire MIDI staves . . .
When you are using External MIDI staves, you need a virtual MIDI cable; but when you are using ReWire MIDI staves, you do not need a separate virtual MIDI cable, because the ReWire infrastructure provides the interapplication communication pipes . . .
For reference, when you are using VSTi virtual instruments in NOTION 6, the music notation on the NOTION staves is converted to MIDI, and NOTION sends this MIDI to the VSTI virtual instruments to tell the VSTi virtual instrument engines what they need to do to generate the respective audio that the VSTi virtual instrument engines then send back to NOTION . . .
Behind the scenes, NOTION 6 is a MIDI sequencer; but what you see on the various staves in NOTION is music notation, although there is the option to see "piano roll" representations of the MIDI that corresponds to the music notation . . .
If you want to send MIDI from NOTION 6 to the DAW application, then you do this on either External MIDI staves or ReWire MIDI staves, and which one to use depends primarily on the particular MIDI technology the DAW application supports . . .
Studio One Professional 4 supports receiving MIDI from External MID staves and from ReWire MIDI staves, with ReWire MIDI staves being the newest technology . . .
You can send MIDI to NOTION 6, but it's limited to one staff at a time . . .
As noted, it's possible that the current version of Cubase supports bidirectional MIDI to NOTION 6 ReWire MIDI staves, but I am not certain that NOTION 6 ReWire MIDI staves are bidirectional . . .
Additionally, it's unlikely that pressing the Record button on the DAW application transport will cause NOTION 6 to begin recording simultaneously in a ReWire Session . . .
When you send audio generated by NOTION 6 to Audio Tracks in the DAW application, this is separate and independent of anything involving MIDI. You only are sending NOTION generated audio via ReWire channel pairs to the DAW application, where the audio is received and played by the DAW application using stereo Audio Tracks mapped to the corresponding NOTION ReWire channel pairs . . .
MIDI is different, and it is sent from NOTION 6 to the DAW application via either External MIDI staves or ReWire MIDI staves (if the DAW application fully supports ReWire MIDI), and both of these types of NOTION MIDI staves do not generate audio in NOTION, so there is no audio to send to the DAW application . . .
MIDI staves in NOTION 6 are used to play DAW-native and DAW-hosted AUi virtual instruments (Mac-only) and VSTi virtual instruments (Mac and Windows) . . .

Unfortunatelly I think the solution will not evolve concerning Cubase/Notion because Notion is linked now with Studio One and Cubase is linked now with Dorico, actually a good integration between Cubase and Dorico Element will be appear soon and I'll be in the obligation to leave Notion ... it's annoying because I like very much Notion but it's political between the brands
cellierjerome wrote Thanks for all these informations;
Yes, this is correct . . .
Going back-and-forth from Studio One Professional 4 and NOTION 6 is considerably easier due to the unique interoperability that PreSonus added to Studio One and NOTION, which among other things avoids the need to do a separate export from Studio One and then a separate import of the MIDI file ("*.mid) to NOTION, which can be a bit awkward, since the import to NOTION creates a new score. To get the resulting music notation into the score you want, you have to copy and paste from the new score to corresponding new staves in the score where you want the MIDI, which is converted to music notation automagically or if not by a menu option . . .
With the new PreSonus interoperability, you just tell Studio One to send the selected MIDI to NOTION and it happens automagically, which is very nice . . .
You have the option to send the MIDI from Studio One to the current NOTION score, but you also can select to send it to a new NOTION score . . .
If you use the "correct" names for the virtual instruments in Studio One and NOTION, then the transfer happens as you expect it should happen, but if you use custom names, then it works a bit differently, since neither application knows which native or virtual instruments to use . . .
Nevertheless, both applications are good at determining how to do the mappings; and as I recall, if you have a staff in NOTION 6 assigned to a Kontakt (Native instruments) VSTI virtual instrument, this information is transferred to Studio One, which then creates the corresponding Instrument Track and populates it with the matching Kontakt VSTi virtual instrument . . .
Or something like that . . .
I have not done this type of transfer in a while, but my recollection is that I was surprised pleasantly with how much associated information was sent and received. It's a smart process, and since both applications are PreSonus products, all the internal information and mappings are available, so it really is automagical . . .
From the perspective of software engineering, it's certainly possible to add new features to Studio One and NOTION so that MIDI can be recorded in NOTION to multiple staves rather than to just one NOTION stave at a time . . .
If ReWire MIDI technology is bidirectional, then this might not be so difficult to do; but even though I am a registered third-party developer for ReWire and Reason Rack Extensions, I don't know at present whether ReWire MIDI is bidirectional . . .
Reason 9 does not support ReWire MIDI, even though ReWire is a Propellerhead Software technology and Reason is a Propellerhead Software produce . . .
I have Reason 10, but I have not experimented with it to determine whether it supports ReWire MIDI like Studio One and NOTION do; but it might . . .
For reference, Reason only works as a ReWire slave, which is fine with me; and it's the gold standard for verifying that an application correctly supports ReWire, either fully or partially . . .
All applications that support ReWire must provide at least basic ReWire functionality, but there is a lot more to ReWire than the basic functionality . . .
In this respect, PreSonus supports more of the advanced ReWire functionality, which is nice . . .
Overall, I think the primary reason that NOTION has limits on what it supports is a matter of the amount of advanced software engineering that happens internally, which needs to be balanced at all times by the importance of being able to generate audio and MIDI in real-time on the fly rapidly without causing delays, skips, and so forth . . .
On the screen you see music notation, but when you are using VSTi virtual instruments, the music notation you see on the screen is translated to MIDI in real-time and is sent to the VSTi virtual instrument engines to tell them what to do to create the audio that they send back to NOTION, which is what you hear; and this alone is a mind-boggling bit of software engineering that simply amazes me . . .
I have a Computer Science degree and four decades of experience in Windows, Mac, and mainframe software designing and engineering; and I could design and program NOTION all by myself--in about 100 years . . .
Being fair to myself, I did not do any music programming until recently, which was when I decided to design and program a Rack Extension for Reason; so if I did this all the time, maybe it would be easier and faster . . .
The biggest hurdle was getting a sense of what happens when you work with what colloquially are called "lollipops"; and this took about two years to begin making sense . . .
For reference, when you observe that a digitally sampled library of sounds is set to work at 44,100 samples per second with a standard bit-depth of perhaps 16-bits, the key information is that each sample is a "lollipop" . . .
A "lollipop" has exactly two parameters, (a) when it arrives or occurs and (b) an amplitude, which is in the range from -1 to 0 to +1, and that's everything that can be known about a "lollipop" at the most basic level . . .
Being a musician (guitar and bass, primarily), I have a very good sense of how notes and chords blend to create a song; and I can listen to songs and hear most of the parts individually, although hearing everything distinctly usually requires studying a recording for quite a while . . .
Switch to the "Lollipop Universe", and what happens is that one second of audio--which can be a kick drum or an orchestra playing a Mozart symphony--is fully and accurately represented at standard CD audio quality by 44,100 "lollipops", each of which has exactly two, very simple parameters (arrival time and amplitude); and that's it . . .
How do you make sense of that?
I am making progress in discovering how to think about music in terms of "lollipops", but it's not so easy . . .
For reference, the term "lollipop" derives from the fact that when graphed, a series of sample looks like a bunch of Tootsie Roll Pops . . .
[NOTE: At standard CD quality audio, this set of "lollipops" is about six ten-thousandths of a second of audio, which could be six ten-thousandths of a second of kick drum or a Mozart symphony being played by a 128 piece orchestra accompanied by an equally populated choir . . . ]
Another way to get a sense of "lollipops" is to watch or touch the paper cone of a loudspeaker, since "lollipops" tell the loudspeaker cone how to move forward and backward . . .
Behind the scenes, internal to the code for Studio One and NOTION, the audio is manipulated, rendered, and played in "Lollipop Land", which to me is simply amazing . . .
This is the case with all DAW applications, not just Studio One; and they all do "lollipops" internally . . .
When you play a song on your iPhone or smartphone, it's "lollipops" . . .
There is a lot more happening in the code for music applications than most folks imagine . . .
This is a good way to put "Lollipop Land" into a more musical perspective . . .
[NOTE: The x-axis shows the frequency, while the y-axis shows the amplitude or volume level. The x-axis is logarithmic, so the first third is frequencies from 0 to 100 cycles per second (or "Hertz [Hz]). The next third is 100-Hz to 1,000-Hz; and the next one is 1,000-Hz to 10,000-Hz. There is a fourth region at the far-right, and it's 10,000-Hz to 22,000-Hz, but there is not much happening there. From this you can infer that most of what happens in a song occurs in the first two regions starting at the left, where the leftmost region mostly is the deep bass of the kick drum, electric bass, and snare drum, along with some of the tom-toms. If Elvis or the Beatles were singing, then most of what they sing would be in the next region; and the higher frequencies mostly provide clarity and distinctiveness to the sounds, hence they also are important, as well. The audio above about 15,000 mostly is provided to entertain or annoy cats and dogs. The y-axis is more linear, except that volume is logarithmic {decibels); so in a roundabout way it's logarithmic, too. In this song, the lead guitar is real, but all the other instruments are virtual and are done with music notation in NOTION. Sometimes it's easier for me to play a lead guitar part than to try to do it with music notation, which in this instance mostly was a matter of doing the slow string-bends and slides (glissandi) . . . ]
The overall shape of the frequency curve is easier to understand when you consider the "Equal Loudness Contour" that maps to the way humans perceive the various frequency ranges, where for example the perception of deep bass is not so good, while there is a specific part of the midrange which is perceived so readily that it requires more control to keep it from being overpowering . . .
This also is the reason that you need to mix while listening to the music played through calibrated full-range studio monitors with a flat equal-loudness curve from 20-Hz to 20,000-Hz at 85 dB SPL measured with a dBA weighting, since otherwise you cannot trust what you hear and it will ruin a mix. It's also one of the primary reasons that mixing with headphones does not work for anything other than doing a tiny bit of fine-tuning for headphone listeners, with the equally important reason being that when you mix while listening with headphones, each ear hears something which is separate and independent, which does not occur when you listen to playback through studio monitors (unless you are doing a monaural mix, of course) . . .
[NOTE: The way this works is that, for example, to hear the low-pitch "E" string on Paul McCartney's Höfner Beatle Bass it needs to be at least 50 dB SPL, but to hear a note in the "Midrange Dip", it only needs to be -5 dB SPL, which is not much at all. The "flat" aspect of the equal loudness curve means that the studio monitor system is adjusted so that when graphed, the frequency response across the audio perception spectrum is flat (horizontal, if you prefer); and this indicates that, in the same example, the deep bass response of the studio monitor system is 50 dB SPL but the "Midrange Dip" response is -5 dB SPL. In other words, you use an equalizer--typically external--to adjust the response of the studio monitors to match the "Equal Loudness Contour" at 85 dB SPL measured with a dBA weighting and at 90 dB SPL measured with a dBC weighting. The result is a flat curve when measured, which makes sense when you think about it a while; and this ensures that what you hear is not biased, hence can be trusted. You need to be able to trust what you hear; and calibrating a full-range studio monitor system is the only way to achieve this goal, which in turn maps to needing a pair of deep bass subwoofers, since this is the only practical way to get the deep bass sufficiently loud to achieve a flat equal-loudness curve, especially if you want to push it down to 10-Hz, which is what I do here in the sound isolation studio, even though technically it is subsonic and is felt rather than heard . . . ]
Equal Loudness Contour ~ Wikipedia
[NOTE: I prefer a bit more deep bass, so I check the studio monitor calibration using both dBA and dBC weightings using a Nady DSM-1 Digital SPL Meter, which is affordable and reasonably accurate. 85 dB SPL is the goal, but if it goes to 90 dB SPL when I switch it to dBC weighting, this is fine, and it's within OSHA guidelines for listening up to 8 hours a day, more or less . . . ]
A-weighting ~ Wikipedia
This is a software utility done by MOTU, and it happens in real-time on the fly, so not only is the audio being played in this instance by Digital Performer (MOTU) but also the "lollipops" are being analyzed and separated by frequency and volume level, which is a lot of computing . . .
This visualization is done by doing Fast Fourier Transforms on the stream of "lollipops", which separates the embedded information by frequencies and corresponding amplitudes or volume levels, and it's done with mathematical equations discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1822, nearly 200 years ago . . .
There are significantly fewer "lollipops", perhaps by a factor of 100 or more . . .
Just guessing, but if you pause the YouTube video, what you see might be what you hear in a few milliseconds or thereabouts of a stream of lollipops . . .
At standard CD quality audio, there are 44.1 "lollipops" per millisecond, which is for any type of audio that humans with normal hearing can perceive . . .
Kick drum or Mozart symphony?
It doesn't matter, because both are fully and accurately represented by 44.1 "lollipops" per millisecond, except that "lollipops" are discrete, so there are no tenths of a "lollipop", which maps to lollipops being integer rather than real, mathematically, although the amplitude parameter of a "lollipop" is a real number between -1 and +1, but the arrival time is discrete and is integer. The "lollipop" arrives, and it's a complete entity at that moment in time. There are no fractional "lollipops" . . .

        var firebase = new FirebaseClient(firebaseUrl, new FirebaseOptions { AuthTokenAsyncFactory = () => Task.FromResult(authToken) });

        var stats = await firebase.Child("my/collection/path").OnceAsync<InMatchStat>();

        if (stats == null || !stats.Any())
        {
            return null;
        }

        return await Convert(stats.AsEnumerable());
    }
    catch (Exception exception)
    {
        var message = exception.ToString();
    }

    return null;
}

This is the error that I'm getting back from Firebase when it tries to execute the var stats = await firebase.Child().... call:

firebase could not parse auth token

Here's a link to the FirebaseDatabase.NET Github page: https://github.com/step-up-labs/firebase-database-dotnet
In case that link goes dead in the future, here's the exact sample that I'm trying to replicate that is shown on that site:
var auth = "ABCDE"; // your app secret
var firebaseClient = new FirebaseClient(
  "<URL>",
  new FirebaseOptions
  {
    AuthTokenAsyncFactory = () => Task.FromResult(auth)
  });

And the query example from that page:
var firebase = new FirebaseClient("https://dinosaur-facts.firebaseio.com/");
var dinos = await firebase
  .Child("dinosaurs")
  .OrderByKey()
  .StartAt("pterodactyl")
  .LimitToFirst(2)
  .OnceAsync<Dinosaur>();

foreach (var dino in dinos)
{
  Console.WriteLine($"{dino.Key} is {dino.Object.Height}m high.");
}

Where am I going wrong with my implementation?

A: Just want to get this updated as I finally figured out the solution, for me...
Here's where I got the solution from: https://github.com/step-up-labs/firebase-database-dotnet/issues/60
This version passes the email address and password to get the authentication token. Then once we have the token, it gets passed to the Firebase client like before.
(Note: I needed to add the FirebaseAuthentication.net nuget package)
public async Task<IEnumerable<InMatchStat>> GetInMatchStats()
{
    const string firebaseUrl = "https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.firebaseio.com/";
    const string firebaseUsername = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx";
    const string firebasePassword = "xxxxxxxx";
    const string firebaseApiKey = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

    bool tryAgain = false;
    FirebaseAuthLink token = null;

    try
    {
        var auth = new FirebaseAuthProvider(new FirebaseConfig(firebaseApiKey));

        do
        {
            try
            {
                token = await auth.SignInWithEmailAndPasswordAsync(firebaseUsername, firebasePassword);
            }
            catch (FirebaseAuthException faException)
            {
                // checking for a false tryAgain because we don't want to try and create the account twice
                if (faException.Reason.ToString() == "UnknownEmailAddress" && !tryAgain)
                {
                    // create, then signin
                    token = await auth.CreateUserWithEmailAndPasswordAsync(firebaseUsername, firebasePassword, "Greg", false);
                    tryAgain = true;
                }

                throw;
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                throw;
            }
        }
        while (tryAgain);

        var firebase = new FirebaseClient(firebaseUrl, new FirebaseOptions { AuthTokenAsyncFactory = () => Task.FromResult(token.FirebaseToken) });
        var stats = await firebase.Child("my/collection/path").OnceAsync<InMatchStat>();

        if (stats == null || !stats.Any())
        {
            return null;
        }

    }

    {

World Events Graph is a feature of our Astrocalendar & Oracle subscribers but I may make it a separate service on our website in future. The paid one will have a full database of 6000 paras attached to it so you will see the report as well for what to expect in the world!
I have a database connected to it with over 6000 paras but have not made that available yet. For our Subscribers, at least the World Graph will always be available and even without the full interpretation, you can understand what its meanings.
Here are the main differences between comparing your relationships and world events.
Conflict red bar shows the degree of War-mongering going on and military threats.
Wellbeing becomes Sadness for the nation (Kennedy Assassination shows this), destruction of homes and families.
Here is the graph for Personal Compatibility (what one person does for the other, and you can switch birthdates to see what the other person does for the first one).
This is the day when Trump gave his fiery speech threatening genocide with North Korea. I am sure that is not what he intended but the war hawks controlling the Senate and foreign affairs certainly made use of his outspoken and off the cuff temperament. Luckily, you can see the conflict is not highlighted (which translates into Wars and Military actions).
It is sad that Diplomacy, which is at its highest, is not being used at all as the military complex controls the media, the presidents and is also manipulated by foreign powers.
As you can also see, the Ocean related disasters are still on and we have the new hurricane active in Puerto Rico right now.
So for all the Astrocalendar subscribers, have a look at this graph every day and you will have a good idea of what is really going on behind the World Events and what to focus on.
I want to get my own AstroCalendar!!

Valentine's Day Archives - Page 13 of 13 - Pebbles, Inc.
Looking for a fun photo prop for your Valentine's Day shoot , or a pretty banner to hang on the mantel? You've got to check out the lovely banner Designer Candace Zentner created.
I love that banners are popular as props in portrait photography right now! Mostly because I love making banners and I love photography!! Since I frequently have photo shoots with my daughters, I thought the Yours Truly collection would work perfectly to create a fun banner to use as a prop.
I used a simple die from Jaded Blossom to create each pennant in my banner and decorated each piece using stickers, tags, chipboard pieces as well as other fun elements in this collection.
Although this banner may look like it was rather involved to make, it was actually very quick! Since there is such a great variation of embellishments in this collection I found it very easy to make each pennant unique and pretty.
I also had to share some of the pictures from the photo shoot with my daughter, so you can all see the banner in action!
The banner will also make a great piece of Valentine's Day décor!
Looking to leave a little note for your loved one this Valentine's Day? Check out the adorable mini love notes we're featuring created by Designer Eva Pizarro.
I love to prepare little games or leave love notes for my husband on Valentines day.
This year I prepared some mini cards with cardstock and one of the sheets of paper from the Yours Truly collection.
I plan to hide the little notes in some places where he can find them during the day (his briefcase, his closet, with his lunch, etc…) I'm sure he is going to love the surprise!
Set hearts a flutter with these Valentine's Day pockets made using the Your's Truly collection, by Suzanna Lee.
The great thing about these sweet little pockets is that you can create 3 pockets from one 12×12 piece of patterned paper!
Each pocket is 4 inches wide so cut three strips. Fold up 4.5 inches from the bottom and lop off the top inch. Use your adhesive runner down each outer edge to create the pocket with little fuss or waste. Take your pick of the many embellishments that accompany this collection and decorate away! Everything matches perfectly so it will all come together in a heartbeat!
Each pocket Valentine has an envelope and note (cut journaling cards) on the front which bind the ties of the three together. Layer chipboard pieces with stickers and it's simple to piece together! You could even have a child help you with these for a whole class.
My original intent had been, and still is, to find some of the sugar pixie straws to put in the pocket for a little taste of Valentine sweetness. Cute, don't you think?!
Designer Tip: I know we all have paper a plenty but why waste? Make it simple, forget the fancy flaps on the side just run your adhesive up the sides to create the pocket. The pocket "edges" are the paper selvages!
With Valentine's Day just one month out, you know we're getting excited. Today, Designer Wendy Sue Anderson is sharing a fun way to dress up a store bought Valentine's Day treat. It's so cute, we think you're going to love it!
I love any excuse to give a little gift or treat to friends and family – and with Valentine's Day just around the corner I've already started to get the creative gears turning with a little "love" in mind. If you're looking for a super easy (and super cute) little gift, try repackaging a store-bought treat.
Here's all you need to make these cookie packages – yummy pink frosted cookies, the cardmaking pad from the "yours truly" collection, the chips from the "yours truly" collection (not pictured), and a few glassine bags.
Simply cut the card fronts from the cards in the pad and then trim them into banner shapes by cutting the bottoms into an inverted "v" shape. Use the leftover pieces from the other cards to create extra banners for layering.
Add a chipboard shape to each banner – consider using foam dots to add a bit of dimension.
Now unwrap the cookies and put them in the bags. Fold over the tops. Place the cute banner on the top and run them through your sewing machine – use colorful coordinating thread for a fun look too!

All the Must-See Trailers From San Diego Comic-Con 2014
Carl Williott Published: July 28, 2014
San Diego Comic-Con is wrap for this year, and it closed out with a string of buzzy trailers and teasers. First up, we have The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. A couple teasers for the film were released earlier this year, but the first official trailer debuted at SDCC over the weekend, titled "Our Leader the Mockingjay." Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen is barely even in the clip, but her presence is felt throughout the whole thing as Philip Seymour Hoffman and Julianne Moore's characters discuss Everdeen's importance to the rebellion and a bunch of people climb up a bunch of trees really quickly. [Not a bad synopsis for a guy who hasn't seen the second one yet, right?]
Another huge pop cultural moment occurred with a five-minute trailer for the highly anticipated/dreaded Family Guy-The Simpsons crossover episode. And it wasn't completely terrible! Bart and Stewie bond over prank calls, Homer and Peter bond over their love of donuts and beer, and then things get meta when they fight because Pawtucket Patriot Ale is a "lousy ripoff" of Duff (subtext, people). Then things get kinda stupid, but you do get a chance to see the Family Guy patriarch Simpson-ized, and Homer stylized as a Family Guy character (which is reminiscent of South Park's "Simpsons Already Did It" episode.)
There was also the unveiling of the first Mad Max: Fury Road trailer, with Tom Hardy starring alongside Charlize Theron. It was light on plot, but heavy on explosions and metal S&M masks. And as an added bonus, we got the Wonder Woman reveal for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Geek out over all the new teasers below.

A seven-storey building built behind the retained facade of the former Methodist Church. The public banking area occupies the ground floor and offices, 40 conference rooms and a 200 seat cafeteria occupy the upper six floors. There is a two-storey basement parking area under the building (120 spaces).
In June 2013 agents DTZ McCombe Pierce put the building on the market seeking offers in excess of £19.40m and confirmed that the property would then be leased back to RBS (owner of Ulster Bank Ireland who occupy the entire building) under a new 15 year FRI lease at an annual rent of £1,489,000 per annum.
In March 2014 the Ulster Bank announced that it was no longer intending to sell and lease back the property despite reports that several offers were received above the asking price.
11 – 13 Donegall Square East was formerly the site of a Methodist Church. The Church was built 1846-47 by Isaac Farrell in classical style to accomodate 1500 people at ground floor and a basement for up to one thousand children attending Sunday Schools. The 1846-47 church replaced an earlier Methodist Chapel built 1806. On 2 September 1849 the church was destroyed internally by a fire but was completely rebuilt from behind the original portico in 1850. During 1997 – 1998 the structure was demolished and the new Ulster Bank office building was constructed behind the retained facade.

Some local (and otherwise) news
19th November 2016 by stlukesranews | 0 comments
News courtesy of Kevin Foster
(MP for Torbay)
Any views expressed in this news post are those of Kevin Foster, unless stated otherwise.
Arrests Made Following Poppy Box Thefts
At least seven Poppy Appeal boxes were stolen in Torquay and one in Paignton over Remembrance Day Weekend.
The thefts occurred between Friday 11th November and Monday 14th November. At a time when we should all have been paying our respects to the fallen and honouring our veterans thieves were helping themselves to the collection.
Kevin Foster commented: "The valuable work undertaken by the two branches of the Royal British Legion we have in Torbay ensures that our local heroes and their families continue to receive the support and help they need after serving our country so valiantly. The Poppy Appeal provides much needed additional funding, so the theft of these boxes, especially over Remembrance Weekend, is particularly abhorrent."
He used a little known bit of parliamentary procedure to enable him to put on the record the anger felt across the bay about this crime and you can read his comments here.
Torbay Police have been quick to investigate and have made two arrests in connection with the thefts. You can read more on the Herald Express website by clicking here.
CrossCountry Service Cuts to Our Bay Raised in Parliament
The proposals from CrossCountry Trains to cut direct services between Manchester and Birmingham and the Bay by up to 70% in 2017 were raised in the House of Commons.
As things stand, from December 2017 Torquay and Paignton could lose three of the direct trains each weekday to Birmingham and Manchester. Residents in Torquay and Paignton (and much needed tourists!) would therefore be left with just one weekday train to Birmingham and Manchester (That departs at 07:02am), and no direct train to Torquay and Paignton from Manchester and Birmingham.
These cuts will badly impact on our ability to welcome visitors to the Bay who rely on public transport and will be harmful to our wider local economy should they go ahead. Equally worrying, CrossCountry makes NO reference in the document to the future of direct services between Torquay/Paignton and Manchester/Birmingham at the weekends.
The proposed changes were buried on one page of a 58 page document that had to be downloaded from an online website, with no meaningful attempt to draw them to the attention of any interested parties or service users. The Secretary of State for Transport, Chris Grayling, was questioned and you can hear his response by clicking here.
A meeting has been arranged, by Kevin Foster, with the Chief Executive of CrossCountry Trains, Mr Andy Cooper, at the House of Commons later this month to make clear profound concerns about their proposals and those of the wider community across the bay.
Also, Kevin is speaking to a number of people about launching a campaign to Keep The Bay On Track and will include more details next week.
Government Announce £10m of Funding For Dawlish Railway Plans
Yesterday the Government confirmed an additional £10 million to help strengthen the resilience of our coastal railway at Dawlish.
The funding comes as Network Rail publish a report which sets out their proposals for strengthening the route, which was significantly damaged by extreme weather in the winter of 2014. The closure of the line was estimated to have cost the South West economy more than £1 billion pounds.
The funding is for Network Rail to carry out further planning for how to keep the track better protected from extreme weather.
In their report Network Rail identify 3 priority areas where action is needed to prevent our vital rail link being blocked by further extreme weather. These are:
the risk of landslip from the steep cliffs between Teignmouth and Parson's Tunnel which would block the main Exeter to Plymouth railway line
rock falls from the cliffs above the Parson's Tunnel north entrance
flooding from the sea of the railway and the road at Marine Parade between Dawlish station and Kennaway Tunnel
The £10 million funding will allow Network Rail to continue their development work on mitigation against these risks from 2017, when the current funding comes to an end.
This news is welcome, but there remains a lot of work to do and I will be seeking further commitments from the Government. That said after decades of only limited investment it is welcome to see the progress being made to secure our railway for the future.
Bathing Water Standards
Earlier this week, the national bathing water results were published, the second time that the results have been reported against tougher EU standards introduced in 2015.
All twelve beaches in Torbay met the new standards, with 8 of them being rated as excellent.
This comes alongside South West Water's commitment to spend £463m between 2015 and 2020 to improve the region's sewerage network and treatment works.
Prison Problems
Problems in the Prison System have been in the news this week following an unofficial "strike" by Prison Officers.
On Tuesday MPs debated the issue, in particular efforts to recruit more Prison Officers to help relieve pressure in key areas. Kevin Foster asked what efforts were being made to recruit military veterans, many of whom have experience of working in challenging environments that would make them ideally suited to becoming a Prison Officer.
You can read his question, plus the Justice Secretary's answer, by clicking here.
Questions on New Emergency Services Network
The Home Office is currently working on a project to replace the airwave communications system used by our emergency services.
The new Emergency Services Network is due to be rolled out over the next three years with all but one region, ours, having a period where both the new and existing system are due to be operating. When prompted for clear commitments and reassurances from the Home Office about what would happen if any delays emerge with the new system when the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) discussed the project this week, the following response was received: "The existing system will continue, even though this might mean a costly contract extension, if the new one was not fully ready by the deadline. The costs of this would be borne by the Home Office with no specific detriment to the services in the regions affected."
The PAC will be revisiting this contract next year and you can watch our discussion at this week's meeting by clicking here.
Paignton Double Deaths Enquiry
There was sad news this week when two people were found dead at their Paignton home on Monday.
The investigation into what happened is continuing and an update has been placed on the Herald Express website which you can read by clicking here.
Zombie Knife Amnesty
Earlier this year the law changed, banning so called "Zombie Knives", lethal weapons that have only one purpose, to kill and maim.
'Zombie knives' which tend to have a serrated edge and can be up to around 60cm in length are inspired by horror films and have been advertised as collectors' items. Freely available on the internet, there is a concern these could end up in the hands of criminals.
If you or someone you know has bought one in the past there is a chance to hand it in to the Police as part of an amnesty they are running until Monday (21stNovember). A special red bin has been placed in the entrance area of Torquay Police Station where you can dispose of any potentially dangerous knife you have no legitimate use for without fear of prosecution. For more details of the amnesty click here.
Parkfield Closure Announced
There was some surprising and concerning news in relation to the Parkfiled Centre in Paignton this week as it was announced it would close for a year.
The announcement is linked to plans to move Torbay School to the site that were approved by the Council earlier this year. You can read full details of the plan, including the reaction from a local ward Councillor who objected to the plan, on the Herald Express website by clicking here.
As mentioned in the article closing the site for a year raises real questions about the future of youth provision on the site given existing users will relocate and lose interest in it. Answers will be sought from the Council about this and whether alternatives have been considered to such a long closure.
Paignton Hotel To Make Way For Flats
A seafront hotel in Paignton will be demolished to make way for ten new flats.
The council has given planning permission to knock down the Preston Sands Hotel on Marine Parade and replace it with a new three-storey building consisting of eight two bed and two three beds flats.
You can read more on the Herald Express website by clicking here.
Latest Fall In Unemployment
The latest unemployment statistics were released this week.
The figures show that the number of people claiming the main unemployment benefits in Torquay and Paignton Unemployment in October 2016 was 4% lower than in the same period last year. Despite positive figures overall, several constituencies saw rises compared to last year making this more significant for the bay.
Could You Be Devon's Milk Tray Man?
If you watch a bit too much television in the 1980's you may recall the daring hero of the Cadbury's ads who did all sorts of stunts to deliver a box of chocolates.
If you found the abseiling, speed boat racing and sky diving of "the Milk Tray Man" inspiring then the chance to be Devon's very own Milk Tray Man will be right up your street. As part of a promotion Cadbury's will be deploying hundreds of Milk Tray Men across the country for a day later this month to swoop in and do a good dead at local supermarkets.

Ad Council Rebrands to Position Itself as a More Accessible Partner on Social Change
The organization will start enlisting more brands to fund PSAs
By Lindsay Rittenhouse
The Ad Council is adding new members to its board of directors following a rebrand last month.
As an increasing number of brands take stances on critical social issues—and as more consumers now expect them to—the Ad Council is initiating a major overhaul of its identity and strategy to solidify its positioning at the forefront of those conversations.
Today, the nonprofit for public-service advertising founded in 1942 announced the most significant rebrand in its 75-year history, complete with a new, more youthful and relatable logo, a digital content-driven focus that will allow it to enter more channels and therefore more conversations and a commitment to work closer with brands on PSAs. The Ad Council worked in partnership with WPP's newly minted Superunion—which combined five of the holding company's consultancies and design shops: Brand Union, The Partners, Lambie-Nairn, Addison Group and VBAT—on the rebrand.
"The partners that have worked with us for decades recognize the Ad Council as a respected and meaningful brand," Lisa Sherman, Ad Council president and CEO, told Adweek, "but as this industry has grown and diversified, there are so many new players who may not know or entirely understand us."
Those new players could be ad-tech companies, digital publishers and others operating within the industry but are not necessarily traditional, legacy advertising entities. Sherman noted that the Ad Council has been working to identify and reach these "new and emerging companies," many situated near Silicon Valley, in various ways, including bringing its fundraiser to the West Coast for the first time two years ago.
As part of the rebrand, the Ad Council will lean more on corporate coalitions to fund individual campaigns instead of solely on other nonprofits and government agencies, as it has in the past. It has already begun testing this approach with campaigns like "She Can STEM," funded by GE, Google, IBM, Microsoft and Verizon, and "Love Has No Labels," which was funded by Bank of America, Budweiser, Coca-Cola, Google, Johnson & Johnson, PepsiCo, P&G, State Farm, Unilever and Wells Fargo. The original Emmy-winning 2015 "Love Has No Labels" skeletons campaign was the first of its kind to utilize a corporate-driven fundraising model.
"As we launched some of these campaigns and as other brands see them, we've gotten a lot of interest in how they might join the coalition," Sherman said. "So our original six partners on 'Love Has No Labels' is now nine or 10 partners."
These corporate coalitions will also provide the Ad Council with access to more resources and talent—plus visibility.
Sherman noted that while popular campaigns like "Love Has No Labels" or the hallmark "Smokey Bear" forest-fire prevention PSA, which is the longest-running public-service campaign in the U.S., are extremely popular, viewers don't always realize the Ad Council is behind them.
Historically, the Ad Council has been behind political campaigns such as efforts to support American troops during World War II and promoting the purchase of war bonds as well as Nancy Reagan's 1980s "Just Say No" anti-drug campaign.
The group still works closely with the government and nonprofits on PSAs. In June, the Office of National Drug Control Policy and the Truth Initiative enlisted the Ad Council to help create a series of ads to fight the country's opioid epidemic.
Still, brands like Nike and P&G are now provoking cultural debates on social issues—just Google Nike and Colin Kaepernick or P&G's "The Talk" for examples—so it was only a matter of time before the Ad Council adjusted to this cultural shift.
In an effort to modernize its identity and make it appear more accessible to brands, the Ad Council is nixing its old logo in favor of a fresher, younger take (designed by Superunion). The new logo incorporates a lowercase "a" in Ad, making it seem a bit more approachable, and brings the word "council" into the full square, rather than having it sit on the outside, signifying unity.

My grandmom passed in 2008 and I was very close to her. My grandparents played a big role in raising my brother and I because my mom was a single working mama, so we spent every summer and everyday after school at my grandparents. I had a really hard time after she passed, and I knew I wanted to get a tattoo in her memory. I was given a box of her jewelry and in it was this cameo brooch that I loved. I knew I wanted that to be the tattoo. To me it not only represents my grandmom, but I love anything and everything victorian and to me it's very lady like which is an element I wanted to build upon for the rest of my arm someday. So I have a little piece of my grandmom on me forever, and for me that helped immensly with the healing process.
My very first tattoo(s) were two black outline stars on the back of each arm. I had just turned 18 and was very eager to start getting tattooed. From there I got a lower back piece which is a heart with a lock inside and wings surrounding it. After that I started on my half sleeve which is a japanese theme, cherry blossom tree, hibiscus and lotus flower with wind bars. I got two roses on my chest for my 21st birthday. From there, two strawberries on my foot.
Yes, I actually had plans to get a tattoo for my son next month but just found out I'm pregnant! So it looks like I will have to come up with something for both babes after this pregnancy.
Mostly all of my friends are tattooed. My mom wasn't thrilled when I started but she's used to it now. I work at a hair salon and most of my co-workers have tattoos, most of my clients are young so no one really cares. I've had maybe two or three older people make comments, nothing mean just the typical "what are you going to do when your older?", etc etc. I live in a city where tattoos are pretty common so no one really pays much attention, or maybe I just don't notice. My hubby has a chest piece and wants to get more work done eventually.
Awesome! I really appreciate these features Danielle! I am currently in the works of starting my own tattoo collection and have referred back to many (if not all) of these tattoo posts which are full of insight and helpful tips! I am so glad you did something like this!!
Wow I love that cameo brooch! so well done and beautiful and I love the meaning behind it.
it also has a deeper meaning for me than just the fact that feathers are so beautiful.
That's a beautiful half sleeve!
Great post & blog. I'm almost ready for my first tattoo and I'm in that research/contemplative stage.

Creative Work / Creative Workers
By David Creelman
One of the most interesting recent books for businesswomen is Richard Florida's The Rise of the Creative Class. It proposes a parallel change currently underway in the economy and in society. In the economy, value is produced by creative work, not just the efficient production of goods or delivery of services. In society, a new creative class is evolving and making its power felt. The creative class has different tastes, ambitions and values from the white-collar middle class from which it has emerged.
This has implications for us, as managers, in two areas. One is in how we attract and retain talent. Members of the creative class - whether they be graphic artists or accountants - want to be treated as individuals. They want to be valued for who they are. They want to make a contribution. The deal you need to offer them is not, "I'll give you a good salary and opportunities for promotion" but "I'll give you an environment that is supportive of who you want to be." Continued ...

Have you found that certain technologies work better (or worse) for women? Is this a gender issue? What could companies do to make their technology products more appealing to women? Is it the sales process that turns women away or is it something else? Please share your thoughts on our discussion board.

Are You Really Listening? ... some tips for becoming a better listener
By Jane Herman
"Uh huh. Yeah. I hear you!" We use these expressions all the time when others are talking to us to let them know we are listening. But are we truly paying attention? Are we really "getting" the person who is speaking? Are we listening for who they are and how they feel as well as what they are saying? Are we listening for what is not said as well as what is?
Don't underestimate the gift you give someone when you give him or her your focused attention. We all need to be "heard" and to be "gotten". For true communication to occur it requires more than just two or more people talking (i.e., self expression) - it requires mutual listening, hearing, and understanding. You can learn to communicate on a deeper level if you master the key skill of listening fully and you can learn how to help others fully listen to you.

Is Low-Carb Dead?
By Mellanie Hills
From what I've heard and read from some of the media, I thought we were all on low-carb diets. Except for me, that is. That doesn't appear to be the case.
Though I know many people doing the low-carb regimen, a recent survey that I conducted provided some surprising results. While I fully expected the largest percentage of dieters to be on low carb, that wasn't the case at all.
The survey was unscientific, and the sample size was small, but it does indicate a potential trend. I surveyed readers of my Healthy Living News e-zine as well as those on an all-female distribution list I maintain. I also factored in responses to my questions posed on the WITI discussion forum. Therefore, a high percentage of the responses came from women.
Rayona Sharpnack appointed to Women's Leadership Board at the Kennedy School at Harvard
WITI congratulates Rayona Sharpnack, founder of the Institute for Women's Leadership and one of WITI's founding members, on her recent appointment to the Women's Leadership Board at the Kennedy School at Harvard University. The Women's Leadership Board consists of more than 80 outstanding women from around the world who are leaders in their work and in their communities. The Board advises the Dean of the Kennedy School on teaching, research and outreach programs relating to women, advocates for the advancement of women worldwide, and mentors Kennedy School women students who will be among the next generation of world leaders. It's goal is to increase the skills, knowledge, strength, and access of women to positions of leadership in order to ensure their equitable participation in the complex global decision making of our times.
Women's historic absence from seats of power has permitted many policy areas critical to women - from birth control and childcare to inheritance rights and access to HIV/AIDS drugs - to be ignored or to become side issues because women have not had an equal voice in establishing priorities and policy. The Board's ultimate success may well be to eliminate the need for its existence as women attain unquestioned access to varied decision-making tables. The Board's short-term progress is chronicled by increases in the number of female leaders as well as its visibility associated with policy issues that advance the participation of women.
Our congratulations to Rayona on this acheivement!

First of all, be open to any creative venture. The world is full of chances, the only thing you have to do is to get rid of all the indolence and be eager to implement one of those. Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Don't be too pernickety when a shot comes up, just use it! Remember: It's better to try and fail that to have never tried at all.

COUNTY NEWS: Man admits role in cinema acid attack
Eastbourne Hastings Bexhill Rye Battle Herald Observer
James Oxenham
A man has admitted his role in an acid attack outside a cinema which left another man with 'life-changing' injuries.
Lee Bates, 26, a groundsman, of Halston Close, London, pleaded guilty to assault at Brighton Crown Court on Monday (February 6).
Bates was arrested and charged after a 27-year-old man was attacked and had acid thrown on him outside Crawley Cineworld in August 2015, police said.
The attack took place in Crawley Leisure Park after the victim and another man, 29, both from Redhill, left the cinema after watching Straight Outta Compton.
Police said Bates was given a two-year conditional discharge.
Michael McPherson, 27, unemployed, of Aldrington Road, London, pleaded guilty to possession of an offensive weapon, assault and GBH with intent after appearing at Lewes Crown Court in November 2015.
Police said a date had not been set for his sentencing.
