"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together"
By Magdalena Fürnkranz
Women Instrumentalists in the Austrian jazz scene
The history of Austrian jazz includes a multitude of notable women musicians. And today's scene, in particular, is strongly characterised by female bandleaders such as saxophonist Viola Falb and double bass player Gina Schwarz. This academic year, the latter of these two—with her Gina Schwarz PANNONICA-Project—seeks to provide insight into the careers of women in jazz and promote dialogue within various Austrian jazz scenes as well as exchange with international jazz scenes.
Jazz became an important part of Austrian musical culture following World War II, with independent scenes developing in Vienna and Graz during the 1950s. Austria was the first European country to institutionalise jazz in an academic setting, with the establishment of a jazz department by the Academy of Music and Performing Arts Graz in 1965. The overwhelming majority of its students were male back then, as was generally the case among jazz instrumentalists at the time.
Even today, jazz remains a primarily male-dominated field, and women frequently occupy the place of the romantically glorified singer. The Austrian jazz scene as it exists today represents the opposite, however. Concert posters picturing young jazz players in masculine poses are indeed still fixtures at clubs, but at the same time, the scene is being expanded by formations in which women instrumentalists can realise themselves artistically and need not merely assume the role of the "side woman".

A look at the women who work in jazz calls gender-specific abilities, responsibilities, and identities into question. And discussions of their function as role models for future women jazz musicians lead to deconstruction of the gender-specific categorisation of instruments, among other things.
Even back in the 1950s, the Austrian jazz scene could already boast one instrumentalist who played an instrument "untypical" of women: Viennese-born vibraphonist Vera Auer (1919–1996), who was among the first European women jazz musicians to add modern jazz to their repertoire. Auer had graduated from the Vienna City Conservatory as a pianist, and she also played the accordion. Though she first worked as an accordionist, Auer later on worked mainly as a vibraphonist, performing together with guitarist Attila Zoller (1927–1998). Following initial success in a radio competition for amateurs, she shifted to the professional realm and founded her own ensemble in the Viennese jazz scene: the Vera Auer Combo, which included prominent musicians such as Hans Salomon (*1933) and Joe Zawinul (1932–2007). In the 1960s, following several years spent in Frankfurt, Vera Auer lived and worked primarily in the USA, where she continually developed her style, collaborated artistically with well-known jazz musicians, and published her own texts and poems.
Aus den Jahrgängen 1920 bis 1955 sind kaum österreichische Jazzinstrumentalistinnen bekannt. Eine Ausnahme bildet die Schlagzeugerin Ursula Anders (*1938), die nicht nur als Friedrich Guldas Nachlassverwalterin Bekanntheit erlangte. Nach einem Schlagzeug-Studium in Salzburg entwickelte sich eine intensive Zusammenarbeit mit dem (Jazz-)Pianisten und Komponisten Friedrich Gulda im Bereich der freien Musik ab dem Jahr 1975. Gulda widmete ihr die Werke Opus Anders (1981) und Concerto for Ursula (1983). Auftritte, bei denen beide unbekleidet auf der Bühne performten, erregten öffentliches Aufsehen.
There is evidence of hardly any other women jazz instrumentalists who were born between 1920 and 1955. One notable exception, however, is the drummer Ursula Anders (*1938), who was famous for being more than just the trustee of Friedrich Gulda's estate. After having studied percussion in Salzburg, 1975 saw her begin developing what would become an intense working relationship with (jazz) pianist and composer Friedrich Gulda in the field of free music. It was to her that Gulda dedicated his works Opus Anders (1981) and Concerto for Ursula (1983). Appearances in which both performed naked on stage made public waves.

From the 1980s onward, women instrumentalists ceased to be merely peripheral figures, instead becoming fixtures of the Austrian scene. Characteristic of this development was how the scene's own musical style also opened up to influences from other genres, with a commensurate number of crossover projects. The individuals involved here included the pianist and composer Adriane Muttenthaler (*1955), who had trained at Vienna's mdw and at the Vienna City Conservatory. Muttenthaler, who is still active today, brings together jazz and classical music as leader of the jazz sextet CRISS – CROSS. The percussionist Ingrid Oberkanins (*1964), on the other hand, studied subjects including school music education and music history as well as classical percussion, and she followed her formal studies with instruction in jazz and non-European rhythms. As a percussionist, Oberkanins now works across multiple genres together with ensembles and individual artists (Vienna Art Orchestra, C. Muthspiel, Percussiontrio Rhythmusa).
In the present-day jazz scene, more and more women musicians are liberating themselves from the attribution of "side woman" and putting the focus on their own projects. mdw graduate Viola Falb (*1980) includes elements of free jazz, folk music, and chamber music in her compositions. And with projects including Falb Fiction, phone, and Kitsch 'n' Glory, she has not only attracted media attention but also received numerous awards. Composer, singer, and electronic musician Susanna Ridler (*1968), for her part, can be found in the border regions between jazz, electronic music, improvised music, and literature. With her electronic jazz pop project [koe:r], she experiments with a synthesis between artificial and acoustic sounds while linking the traditional and the modern with her own individual stylistic approach.
Gina Schwarz ©Hans Klestorfer
Bassist and band leader (Woodclock, Jazzista, SchwarzMarkt) Gina Schwarz (*1968), currently the only woman jazz instrumentalist to teach at a jazz and/or popular music department at a public university in Austria, received a commission to organise a concert series as part of Porgy&Bess Stageband's 2017–18 season. Under the motto "Starke Stimmen" [Strong Voices], the Gina Schwarz PANNONICA-Project is bringing together musicians from the (inter)national jazz scene to artistically reinforce the Stageband while also participating in workshops and discussions at the mdw's Department of Popular Music. This project's namesake, Pannonica de Koenigswarter (1913–1988), was one of the most important women champions of modern jazz and an individual who also broke with the prevailing social conventions of 1950s America to actively combat the difficulties that disadvantaged African-American jazz musicians faced at the time. With her project, Gina Schwarz makes possible discussions and dialogues involving international musicians from various genres, generations, and countries. Her autumn 2017 guests include composer Tanja Brüggemann and visual artist Conny Zenk (A), trombonist Karin Hammar (SWE), and pianist Julia Hülsmann (D).
Gina Schwarz PANNONICA-Project (project team: Gina Schwarz and Magdalena Fürnkranz) is a project of the Department of Popular Music mounted with friendly support from the platform Gender_mdw. Further information on the workshops and concert series can be found at www.mdw.ac.at/gender/pannonica-project

Q: Why am I getting three dots in Auto Layout? I tried doing auto layout but I keep on getting three dots. How do I fix this?
Screen shot of how it looks below.

A: Just pinned both edges to 0 to get max width for label regarding screen sizes...and still content is too long then it displays 3 dots as per option truncate tail...For that you have to make a font size bit smaller or make multiline label...

SUNDAY UPDATE: The weather prediction has changed. Click here for updates.
ORIGINAL POST: The storm that hit Western Washington shut down streets, sent people rushing for emergency supplies and left residents braced for worse weather that might have come overnight. But at 12:15 a.m., the worst Seattle weather conditions had passed, meteorologists said.
Seattle had received between 3 and 5 inches by midnight Sunday.
Interstate 90 over Snoqualmie Pass was closed about 10:10 p.m. due to strong winds and blowing snow with zero visibility, a state Department of Transportation spokeswoman said. The closure shut down milepost 33 to milepost 71 — North Bend to Easton. WSDOT spokeswoman Meagan McFadden did not have a projected reopening time.
State Patrol trooper Dan McDonald, speaking on a cell phone about 11:45 p.m. after rescuing two people from a closed section of Interstate 90, said conditions were "just a complete whiteout blizzard.


A lot of questions may arise in your mind before buying the best food processor. The budget is the basic factor that will determine the requirement. There are other factors too that can make you more specific about the product. Basically, the models vary in their prices, because of the features and variable capacity. If the requirement is for a commercial or daily basis, the selection of an automatic mode is preferable. But if you want for domestic need, a manual food processor can also serve the purpose.
Every food processor is designed and developed with its own unique features: i.e. it possesses its pros and cons. Therefore, you have to make your decision keeping in mind your requirements. The myriad of food processors include commercial, mini, electric, manual and baby food processors. Since a food processor is largely responsible for the food preparation, you have to be decisive when buying one.If the requirement is for a home, a manual food processor can easily save your precious time by chopping, slicing and blending the food items in a better manner. With the help of a manual food processor, one can easily accomplish the minimal job works with less physical effort.
Using a manual processor is very easy, as you just have to turn the crank on the processor; this can be done in a jiffy hence, saves a lot of time. As manual processors are less expensive on your pocket, and if you are trying to save money, then they are your best option.If you are planning to use your processors regularly, then manual processors might not be the best option for you... the reason for this being that it would be tiresome to continuously crank the processor. In this case, electric processor would be suiting your purpose better; since, all you need to do for it is just press a button. Therefore, the completion of your work would be only a button away.
The electric models are operated with the help of advanced motors, which allows the mechanical power to do the mandatory tasks. The chopping, shredding, slicing of vegetables or fruits becomes much easier. The use of the electronic food processors is expensive, but can reduce your efforts and valuable time to certain level.The use of an electric food processor depends upon the quantity of the desired food materials. For example if the restaurant or food count needs better output, a general food processor won't serve the entire purose. In that case, an advanced model needs to be replaced, so that the work is finely done without any complaint.
An inexpensive food processor can be a good match if the requirements are limited. If you think that a good investment can help to save time and efforts, a better brand can suit your prerequisites in various manners. such as Robot Coupe, Semak and Grange. The biggest selling point for a food processor is its ability to replace a variety of other kitchen gadgets. When used properly it can function as a knife, it can knead dough, blend ingredients or act as a juicer. All of these can enhance your kitchen cooking experience.
What are the best food processors?


Many people talk about happiness, but this is often superficial and short-lived. I'm happy when England win or when I have a cookie at break time, but happiness can be elusive – sometimes I don't get a cookie and sometimes England lose.
This morning I'd like to consider the idea of flourishing, which is a much deeper concept than happiness. Flourishing is about living life well and fulfilling your role in life.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote extensively about the idea of flourishing. He believed that all humans have a function or a purpose in life. When you fulfil your purpose, then you flourish.
The idea of fulfilling your function well is rather straightforward and it applies to everything in life. Let me give you a few examples to explain this: Aristotle wrote about someone who plays the flute – when they play this well, they are happy and everyone else is happy. But this is more than a fleeting sense of happiness. If you've ever seen a good musician or actor after a great performance, their sense of satisfaction is much deeper than a superficial happiness. It is a profound feeling of fulfilment – they had a task in front of them, and they executed it well. The same goes for a sculptor or an artist, when they produce an excellent piece of work.
And the same for a great sportsperson. A good fly half kicks well and directs the game well – and afterwards is often deeply satisfied, and you can see it in the post-match interview. And when they do this very well over a long period of time, like Dan Carter or Jonny Wilkinson, Aristotle might say that these great athletes found their function or purpose in this sport, worked hard at it and got to the point where they flourished in the game.
It applies in professional roles in life as well. A good doctor helps their patients get better – and of course there is great satisfaction in this. A good investment manager makes money for their investors. A good solicitor or lawyer helps their client win cases.
When we say a doctor or a dentist or a programmer is good, what we mean is that they are good at their job. They do their job well. They flourish in their professional role. And everyone respects that.
For Aristotle, this was precisely his point: something is good when it fulfils its function well. A good eye sees well. A good coffee machine is one that makes good coffee. A good music speaker plays music well. And a good professional does their job well – and they benefit from this, and so does everyone else.
And of course the same can apply in schools.
What makes a good school? Well, schools are made of students and teachers, so it's rather obvious. When students are working well, doing all that good students do, then they will flourish. The same for teachers – when they are teaching well and doing all that good teachers do, then they will flourish. And when good students have good teachers and everyone is fulfilling their function, there will be a deep satisfaction for everyone in the community.
The students will make great progress and achieve success in academics, co-curricular pursuits and personal development. The teachers will be proud and feel rewarded by supporting this. And the parents will be delighted and say it's a good school. And this is not a one-off brief moment of happiness; it is developed over time by people learning good habits and fulfilling their function. The school would be flourishing, as its teachers and students flourish.
Aristotle warns that such fulfilment does not always happen immediately or easily. We have to learn how to do each role in our lives, and we must develop good habits through practice. Education, practice and forming good habits are all essential in Aristotle's concept of flourishing. A new student at Blue Coat hopefully learned some good habits at their previous school, but they might have to practise for a while before they learn to be a really good student. In the same way that a good guitar player will need to practise for a long time before they can play famous riffs in full flow with their eyes closed.
Jonny Wilkinson only got very good at kicking by kicking a ball thousands and thousands of times.
It is through repetition of the right acts that we acquire the right type of character required to then flourish as individuals.
Flourishing is one of my favourite concepts. I love to think that pupils – all of you – are flourishing at Blue Coat. You might make mistakes and occasionally get it wrong, but that's part of Aristotle's point. Jonny Wilkinson has missed kicks in his career, and even the best artists can occasionally get it wrong. But the point is to keep practising, and eventually one day what seems hard now becomes rather habitual and comes quite naturally, and it is very satisfying.
So, as this year gets going, gain knowledge of yourself and your role in this school. Work to develop good habits, ensure everything in your life is in good order: all this leads to a state where you can ensure that you are flourishing.
Have a good day today, and a very good week.

news, local-news, bendigo, Maryborough, highview college, Peter Harris, thailand, sex abuse, melbourne airport, arrested
The founding principal of two Christian colleges, including Maryborough's Highview College, is facing historical child sex abuse allegations that date back to his time at the schools, in the 1970s and '80s. Peter Harris, who has been living in Thailand and had worked on making schools in the country sustainable under a federal government grant, was arrested at Melbourne Airport on Tuesday. The 78-year-old ex-principal was attempting to board a flight when he was arrested, a police spokeswoman confirmed. Dr Harris faces five charges, including assaults in East Melbourne, Maryborough and Castlemaine between 1975 and 1983. He was founding principal of Billanook College in Mooroolbark in Melbourne's outer-east, which opened in 1980, and left in 1996. Prior to that he was founding principal at Maryborough Christian Community College, now known as Highview College, which opened in 1974. Dr Harris was also a teacher at prestigious Melbourne private school Haileybury College in Keysborough from 1967 until 1973. He was a commerce teacher, librarian, hockey coach and boarding house master. The alleged abuse relates to two incidents in Maryborough, one in Castlemaine and one in East Melbourne, a police spokesman said. The charges include gross indecency with a male, indecent assault and knowingly possessing child abuse material. Dr Harris was bailed to appear at Bendigo Magistrates Court next Tuesday. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade gave Dr Harris grants of more than $20,000 towards his work helping Thai schools become more sustainable. "In 2011, the former Australia-Thailand Institute (ATI) provided two grants to Dr Peter Harris of Global Entrepreneurial Education totalling $22,500," a DFAT spokeswoman said. An online biography says he was born in the United Kingdom and moved to Australia with family before heading to Phuket in 2008. He was also vice-president of a Rotary club at Patong Beach in more recent years, but is now believed to have left. Highview College principal Melinda Scash said she was aware the man charged may have been a staff member at the time of some of the alleged abuse. "It is possible that this person was formerly a staff member of Highview College during this period of time," she said in a statement. "Highview College is a child-safe environment with a zero tolerance for any form of child sexual abuse. We ask that anyone with further information or concerns contact Victoria Police directly. "With the matter being investigated by the police we will not be making any further comment. "However, we can reiterate that Highview College continually reviews its child-safe processes and procedures, and provides ongoing staff training with an absolute focus on providing the highest standard of safety, care and compassion for our students." In a now-deleted blog post about Dr Harris, Haileybury College had described the former teacher as "lively and dynamic". "As well as teaching economics, he coached the Hockey XI Team, was a boarding house master, an officer in the cadet corps and chief librarian in 1973," the post says, according to an archived version of the website. "He was very popular with the students who called him 'Lightbulb' because his face would light up dramatically when anything new or interesting occurred." Uniting Church Australia Synod of Victoria and Tasmania general secretary Mark Lawrence said the church was not aware of the allegations. "As it is a police matter it is inappropriate to make further comment. To the best of our knowledge, Peter Harris has no formal connection with the Church. "The Uniting Church sees any abuse of children or vulnerable people as abhorrent and is committed to their safety." Billanook and Haileybury colleges declined to comment.

I believe the Green Bay Packers have the most classic, distinguished, iconic uniforms in the National Football League.
Wisconsin is known for its cheese. Cheese is yellow. The Packers are literally "cheese packers." Yellow blankets the entire team. This accentuates the team's incredibly close tie to the local fan base. The Packers are the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States — they are literally owned by the city, and the uniforms reflect that.
You can see a football game playing on a 32″ TV across the other side of a restaurant, and if the Packers are playing, you can identify them. No other team in the NFL wears these colors. They jump off the screen and smack you in the face, repeatedly screaming, "PACKERS! PACKERS PACKERS! PACKERS!" These uniforms stand out, but not in an "ew" Oregon Duck kind of way — they're beautiful in a strange, cheesy way.
I apologize for the pun.
This shouldn't affect my perception of the team's uniforms, but it should: the Packers have an incredible history.
Green Bay is by far the smallest TV market in the league, but they have gained an enormous fan base that has sold out every game, regardless of the team's talent, since 1960. I repeat: they've sold out every home game at Lambeau Field for 51 years running, and it won't stop any time soon. This feat is made even more impressive when considering the icy conditions that often plague the stadium during the winter months.
Packers fans are often referred to as cheeseheads.The term is often used to refer to people from the state of Wisconsin in general (because of its cheese production), but is also used to refer to Green Bay Packers fans in particular. The name originated in 1987 as an insult from Chicago White Sox fans at a Milwaukee Brewers game. In years since and particularly beginning in 1994, the name and the hats called "cheeseheads" have also been embraced by Packers fans.
During training camp in the summer months, young Packers fans can take their bikes and have their favorite player ride their bike to the practice field from the locker room. This is an old Packers tradition dating back to approximately 1957 (the first years of Lambeau Field's existence). Gary Knafelc, a Packers end at the time, said, "I think it was just that kids wanted us to ride their bikes. I can remember kids saying, 'Hey, ride my bike.'" The practice continues today.
I'm sorry…that's just cool. And when I see the uniforms, I think of the community and the history of the Green Bay Packers.

The controversial receiver was seen sitting courtside at Barclays Center for Monday's NBA game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Memphis Grizzlies. The local broadcast on YES Network aired footage in the third quarter of Brown in his seat wearing sunglasses.

Brown's public appearance comes just one day after his meltdown for the history books against the New York Jets on Sunday (video here). While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made clear that Brown is finished on their team, he is still currently under contract for one notable reason.
Interestingly enough, Barclays Center is less than 15 miles from MetLife Stadium, where Brown's meltdown took place. There were some rumors about Brown's whereabouts after the episode, but it appears that he has remained in the New York area for the time being.

Michael Douglas has been accused of harassment more than a week after he issued a pre-emptive denial of the claims.
His former employee, author and journalist Susan Braudy, said the actor's alleged treatment left her feeling "humiliated".
Susan Braudy' claims include that he performed an act in front of her.
The actor's statement came 10 days before Susan Braudy's allegations were published by The Hollywood Reporter.
Michael Douglas explained he "felt the need to get ahead" of the situation and share his concerns about the "nightmare" scenario.
Susan Braudy worked for Michael Douglas's company Stonebridge Productions in the late 1980s.
She claims he used inappropriate language in front of her, including openly discussing extra-marital affairs, while she was running the company's New York office.
Susan Braudy also alleges that Michael Douglas commented about her body, which made her then wear loose, dark clothing.
"I realized he thought he could do anything he wanted because he was so much more powerful than I was," she said, adding that she ran home and vowed to never be alone with him again.
Susan Braudy finished working for the actor in 1989.
Michael Douglas, who originally spoke to Deadline, said: "I pride myself on my reputation in this business, not to mention the long history of my father and everything else.
The actor also claimed there is no evidence against him and he feared that such accusations could set back the #MeToo movement that has grown in the wake of the Hollywood harassment scandal.
Michael Douglas said: "Being accused, without a chance [to defend yourself] in court. To not even really have the information in front of you, to be able to argue or defend yourself.
Susan Braudy told The Hollywood Reporter she was not surprised by the way Michael Douglas had issued his denial.
She claimed the manner in which he did so was "part of the problem, as is his pretext of victimization".

Highest mortality risks for poor
Highest mortality risks for poor and unemployed
Large dataset shows that income, work status and education have a clear influence on mortality in Germany
Ageing Social Sciences
How do socioeconomic factors influence the mortality risk of employees in Germany? Pavel Grigoriev, Rembrandt Scholz and Vladimir M. Shkolnikov, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, have calculated this reliably for the first time, using a public dataset from Deutsche Rentenversicherung, the German mandatory state pension insurance, which includes information from several million insured persons. Their study shows the role of good education, work status and above all of income - especially for men.
Poverty in Germany is seldom visible, but the consequences for those affected are dramatic. For example, poverty dramatically increases the risk of death, as shown by the evaluation of large data sets by the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock.

"For the first time we have a solid foundation in data to rate the different factors and their influence on mortality in Germany," says Pavel Grigoriev. Earlier studies for Germany had used considerably smaller datasets obtained from surveys that were less significant.
The new results underline how important it is to have a job: unemployment doubles the mortality risk. Even more important is income, especially for men: the mortality of the twenty percent with the lowest income was 150 percent higher than for the twenty percent who made the most money. A bad education, on the other hand, only raises the mortality risk for men by 30 percent.
The mortality rate is the probability to die within the next year – independent of age. To make the mortalities of different groups comparable, the researchers accounted for the influence of age. For example, unemployed people on average are older than people who have a job and naturally have a higher death risk. The age structure of all population subgroups was adjusted statistically so that they all had the same composition. That way, the differences in mortality could be ascribed to the remaining factors like unemployment or income.
East or West Germany? That's not a factor per se
"The region of residence has a negligible influence on mortality," says Pavel Grigoriev. While the mortality rate in the East is 25 percent higher for men than in the West, that difference vanishes when you take into account the effects of unemployment, education, income and nationality.
The reason for the higher mortality of men in the East is that they have a larger share of people who are unemployed or less educated or have a low income. All these factors raise the mortality. Other differences between East and West, like the medical infrastructure, seem to play a negligible role.
How extremely the socioeconomic status influences the chance to survive, especially income, employment status and education, can be demonstrated in the most disadvantaged group of men in the East: 14 percent belong to the lowest strata regarding income and education. Their mortality rate is more than eightfold of those in the highest strata. In West Germany, this most disadvantaged group among men is smaller and comprises 11 percent, and their mortality rate is only a little more than five times that of the most advantaged group. So at least for men, the mortality rate in the East is distributed more unevenly than in the West. Nevertheless, in the West income and unemployment also influence the mortality rate considerably.
Among women, the differences are less pronounced, especially considering income. Unemployment and education have a similar impact on mortality as with men.
The researchers reached their conclusions on the social context of mortality, which are unique for Germany, by evaluating the social security data of 27 million employees. They collected anonymized information on all insured persons in Germany that were between 30 and 59 years old in 2013.
German data protection rules preclude better knowledge on mortality rates
Compared to other countries, especially in Scandinavia, Germany lacks the access to data. Figures about the connection between mortality and socioeconomic status are especially hard to come by, says Grigoriev. "This is because of the strict interpretation of privacy regulations regarding governmental datasets on the German population."
In Germany, it is not allowed to connect personal data between different government agencies. For scientists, those data could be an important source for their research, that ultimately contributes to improving the well-being of people and populations. "In Germany, different institutions collect big amounts of data, using a lot of resources and taxpayers' money, it's not only demographic research could profit if this information was more accessible," says Grigoriev.
For him there is no mistaking that the scientific evaluation of these datasets should only be allowed if they are completely anonymized and the identification of individual people is absolutely impossible. This is achievable with information technology, he says, and wouldn't violate the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Ultimately, demographic research is not interested in individual people's data, it only uses it as an intermediate step to calculate results for big groups of people – like the mortality for different income strata.

Improvements have been made to the MATLAB code NC to calculate neoclassical ion thermal conductivity and parallel flow using the full Fokker Planck operator. The code now employs normalized velocity space basis functions to allow more terms in the expansion. It also uses the Knorr model to better define aspect ratio dependence and block matrix notations to separate velocity space and poloidal angle dependences, allowing easy extension to general magnetic geometry. The number of terms in the expansion increases as collisionality is reduced. Convergence to one percent accuracy has been demonstrated for the case with inverse aspect ratio of 0.1 and the customary collisionality parameter nustar of 1 using 40 each of Legendre polynomials, generalized Laguerre polynomials, and trigonometric functions.
GYRO simulations of energetic particle (EP) driven very long wavelength local TAE/EPM turbulence embedded in shorter wavelength ITG/TEM turbulence have shown that fixed gradient nonlinearly-saturated transport states can exist in a narrow range of EP pressure gradients. EP transport is enhanced over the ITG/TEM driven levels but the background plasma (BGP) transport is unchanged. The narrow range is bounded by the TAE/EPM linear threshold gradient and a critical gradient where runaway in time and unbounded EP transport onsets. However, ExB shear from the runaway long wavelength TAE/EPM modes stabilized the ITG/TEM turbulence and the BGP transport decreases. Since EP transport is limited by the EP source rate, the EP pressure gradients will profile relax to intermittent EP transport at the critical gradient. The critical gradient collapses to the linear threshold gradient if the BGP gradients are not large enough. The results suggest an important conclusion: The onset of local high n TAE/EPM modes does not degrade the background plasma confinement.
NIMROD simulations of DIII-D rapid shutdown by Ar-pellet injection showed that the application of RMP fields with n=1,2, and 3 symmetry reduces the magnitude of the runaway "prompt loss" that occurs at the start of the current quench. In these simulations, orbits for 1800 fast electrons were integrated during the rapid shutdown to examine confinement of supra-thermal and runaway electrons. The prompt loss reduction relative to the case with no RMPs occurred in every simulation. However, the n=1 fields show the most promise for sustaining a continuous runaway electron loss rate that exceeds the theoretical avalanche growth rate. In future simulations, the n=1 poloidal spectrum will be tailored to incorporate stronger resonant components. A toroidal resolution study has also found runaway electron confinement to be converged with 11 toroidal modes (n=0,10); the change in confined runaway electrons when the number of modes is doubled is 1%.
The MDSplus data system has recently been expanded to include a new server which doubles the overall usable disk storage to 13.5Tb. This expansion was critical, as the estimated disk usage would have reached over 95% by the end of this years run period. Data migration has been completed in order to spread the usage out between the different data servers.

Q: Add specific attribute and values to input and label html tags in Woocommerce I'm trying to add style, depending on whether the checkbox is clicked. This code is missing "id" and "for" for input and label (line 11). Logical decision to add generation of numbers. How to do it correctly?
foreach ($choices as $choice) {
    $attr = '';
    $key_val = explode("|", $choice);
    /* It has to be two items ( Value => Label ), otherwise don't proceed */
    if (count($key_val) == 2) {
        if (in_array(trim($key_val[0]), $defaults)) {
            $attr = 'checked';
        }
        /* For admin field, we don't need

 wrapper */
        $html .= (($_ptype != "wccaf") ? '
' : '') . '<input type="checkbox" data-has_field_rules="'.$has_field_rules.'" data-is_pricing_rules="'.$_is_pricing_rules.'" class="' . $_ptype . '-field ' . $_class .

    }
}

A: Updated
Try the following (untested), that will add a for attribute + value to the  and an id attribute + value to the <input>:
foreach ($choices as $choice) {
    $attr = '';
    $key_val = explode("|", $choice);
    /* It has to be two items ( Value => Label ), otherwise don't proceed */
    if (count($key_val) == 2) {
        if (in_array(trim($key_val[0]), $defaults)) {
            $attr = 'checked';
        }
        $sprintf = sprintf( '<input type="checkbox" %s %s %s %s %s %s %s />%s',
            'id="' . esc_attr($_meta["name"] . $_index) . '"',
            'data-has_field_rules="'.$has_field_rules.'"',
            'data-is_pricing_rules="'.$_is_pricing_rules.'"',
            'class="' . $_ptype . '-field ' . $_class . '"',
            'name="' . esc_attr($_meta["name"] . $_index) . '[]"',
            'value="' . esc_attr(trim($key_val[0])) . '"',
            $attr . ' ' . $_ptype . '-type="checkbox" ' . $_ptype . '-pattern="mandatory' . $_meta["required"] . '" ' . $_readonly,
            'for="' . esc_attr($_meta["name"] . $_index) . '"',
        esc_attr(trim($key_val[1]) ) );

        $html .= $_ptype != "wccaf" ? '
'.$sprintf.'

    }
}

I have embedded the code in a sprintf() function to make it more readable, functional and easy to tune.

Nice to see someone addressing the biggest issue for net-connected TV devices: a useable web browser. Today Hillcrest Labs is announcing the Kylo couch-surf-ready web browser for Windows and Mac HTPCs based on Mozilla. The Kylo browser has been specifically designed for TV use and is aimed at providing users a full web experience with as little clutter as possible. Highlights of the browser include: on-screen keyboard, more readable fonts, a larger cursor, pan/zoom functionality, a website directory panel, and compatibility with in-air mice like the company's own Loop pointer.
FYI, the Kylo browser was working with Hulu, but for some reason is now getting blocked. Below is a message from the CEO of Hillcrest Labs, Dan Simpkins. I say to Dan: It's time to implement User Agent Switcher and just tell Hulu, and any other sites that want to block Kylo, that it's a standard Firefox browser for the desktop.
We are currently investigating why Hulu videos are not playing within the Kylo browser. Prior to our formal launch, Hulu videos would play within the Kylo browser. Like Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari, the Kylo browser is simply a Web browser, it's our sincere hope that Hulu isn't restricting access.
Rockville, MD and Palm Desert, CA — March 22, 2010 — Today, at the DEMO Spring 2010 event, Hillcrest Labs launched the Kylo(TM) browser — a new Web browser for TV. Developed for the millions of households that connect their PCs or Macs to the TV, Kylo lets users visit any site on the Web with a browser that was specifically designed to be viewed from a distance in the family room, living room, or dorm room.
In Forrester Research's report, "How Consumers Get Online Video to The TV," June 9, 2009, the firm estimates that nearly 9 million homes in the US watch at least some online video on a TV set in a typical month.
In Deloitte's, "State of the Media Democracy Survey Fourth Edition," December 2009, the firm found that 65% of US Internet users would like to connect their televisions to the Internet, a figure that jumped to 74% among Millennials (ages 14-26).
According to Pew Research's, "The Audience for Online Video- Sharing Sites Shoots Up," July 2009, 23% of those who watch online video have connected their computer to a TV (29% of males who watch online video vs. 16% of females who watch online video).
Research conducted by One Touch Intelligence as reported in VideoNuze on November 4, 2009, states that approximately 13.4% of Netflix "Watch Instantly" usage is by people who connect their computer to the TV, versus approximately 3.6% that is done by people using a Roku set-top box.
In December of 2009, Hillcrest Labs also conducted its own mall intercept survey of 200 consumers within the high-tech corridor of the Washington DC area, and found that 34% of consumers connect their computers to their TVs "always" or "often," while 80% were interested in surfing the Internet on TV.
Despite this growing trend, the first hurdle that consumers face is the physical act of connecting their computers to their TVs. For this reason, Hillcrest Labs developed a simple online guide to help people get started: www.hillcrestlabs.com/loop/connecting.php.
Last year, Hillcrest Labs launched its iconic Loop pointer as its first company-branded product for consumers. The stylish in-air mouse was named a CES 2010 Innovations Award Honoree, and is powered by Hillcrest's Freespace(C) in-air pointing and motion-control technology. Hillcrest's Freespace technology is also used in the award-winning Logitech MX(TM) Air Rechargeable Cordless Mouse. Like the Kylo browser, the Loop pointer was specifically designed for consumers who connect their computers to TVs. It is available for $99 via Hillcrest Labs or Amazon.com at www.hillcrestlabs.com/loop.
free, easy download and setup.
The Kylo browser is available for free via download at www.kylo.tv or www.hillcrestlabs.com/kylo. Additional details about Hillcrest Labs are available at www.hillcrestlabs.com. The Kylo browser's hashtag is #Kylo.
Hillcrest Laboratories (a.k.a. Hillcrest Labs) sells products to consumer electronics manufacturers, service providers, and consumers that enable unique, interactive digital media experiences for TVs and other digital media devices. Hillcrest Labs sells and licenses its pointing technology, called Freespace(R), for use in a wide range of consumer devices including remote controls, PC mice, and game controllers. Companies that have licensed Hillcrest Labs' technology for use in their products include: Eastman Kodak, Logitech, Universal Electronics (UEI), and ZillionTV. For consumers, Hillcrest Labs sells the Loop(TM) pointer, an in-air mouse for TV that lets users control an onscreen cursor with a flick of the wrist and navigate the Web or their home media content on TV. Hillcrest Labs also offers the Kylo(TM) browser, a free Web browser for TV.
Hillcrest Labs has received numerous awards and recognitions including the CES Innovations Award, PC World's 100 Best Products and Greatest Tech Designs, Popular Mechanics' Editors Choice, ECN's Reader's Choice Tech, and many others. Based in Rockville, Maryland, Hillcrest Labs was founded in 2001 by Dan Simpkins. The company is funded by NEA, AllianceBernstein, Columbia Capital, and Grotech Ventures.

Community Preservation Fund Advisory Board Chairman Gordon Gooding. (Credit: Julie Lane)
Monday morning the Community Preservation Fund Advisory Board looked back at past achievements and frustrations in 2019, and ahead for direction in 2020.
Among the projects planned for next year is an acquisition by Peconic Land Trust (PLT) of 6.07 acres at Ned's Lane that would then be sold to the town. The agreement worked out between the town and PLT would end up costing the town 25% of the purchase price, CPF Board President Gordon Gooding said.
The property is currently owned by Edward Smyth; a public hearing on the agreement is slated for Friday at 4:52 p.m. at Town Hall.
Mr. Gooding provided coffee, pastries and sparkling cider to toast achievements in 2019, noting that the highlight of the year had been the late November dedication of the Mildred Flower Hird Preserve, honoring Ms. Hird's daughter, Esther Hunt, and her extended family for making the acreage available for hiking and not a housing development.
"That was my high," Mr. Gooding said.
Other projects that moved ahead have been the development of a stewardship project for the Turkem's Rest Preserve; clearing of the opening to the Lima Bean Fields with the assistance of Shelter Island Trails Club members; work at property on recently acquired at Congdons Creek; development of a relationship with Peconic Land Trust that has brought money and expertise to acquisitions; and enhanced relationships with the Suffolk County Department of Parks and Recreation.
On the down side, Mr. Gooding's frustration has been at the slow pace of acquiring land to preserve .
"It can be painful," he said.
At the same time, he praised previous CPF Advisory Board members who have preserved many acres of property. "We're on the right track," Mr. Gooding said. "We still have a lot of work to do."
Member Mike Laspia said it proved to be a good move for the committee to hire outside counsel to assist with acquisitions. Ed Shillingburg said he was pleased with signage that has marked so many of the preserved sites.
Councilman Albert Dickson, the Town Board's liaison, offered praise of the committee for its contributions to the effort to preserve land.
"You really grabbed things by the horn," Mr. Dickson said.
Members, in turn praised Mr. Dickson for his support.

December 31, 2020 – The Debtors notified the Court that their Amended Plan of Reorganization had become effective as of December 31, 2020 [Docket No. 286]. The Court had previously confirmed the Debtor's Plan on December 21, 2020 [Docket No. 277].
On July 10, 2020, MUJI U.S.A. Limited ("Muji" or the "Debtor") filed for Chapter 11 protection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware, lead case number 20-11805. At filing, the Debtor, a minimalist lifestyle brand/retailer owned by Japan's Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. ("Ryohin"), noted estimated assets between $50.0mn and $100.0mn; and estimated liabilities between $50.0mn and $100.0mn. In a subsequently filed Schedule A/B, the lead Debtor noted $54.1mn of assets and $66.7mn of liabilities [Docket No. 110].
The Debtors were represented by (i) Greenberg Traurig LLP as local bankruptcy counsel, (ii) Mackinac Partners LLC as financial advisors, (iii) B. Riley Real Estate, LLC as real property lease consultant and (iv) Donlin, Recano & Company, Inc. as claims agent.
A deadline of February 1, 2021 has been set for filing administrative claims and professional fee claims.
Overview of the Plan
The Debtor's memorandum of law in support of Plan confirmation [Docket No. 269] provided the following pre-Plan confirmation hearing summary: "The Plan, which has 100% support from the Voting Classes (as defined herein), is the result of significant compromise by and among the Estate's most significant stakeholder, RKJ, to ensure that the Debtor's business will continue and prosper. If confirmed, the Plan will (i) deleverage the Debtor's balance sheet—with RKJ contributing approximately $63 million in outstanding obligations as capital in the Reorganized Debtor; (ii) allow for a leaner, more profitable retail business after emergence, with a right-sized footprint and the assumption of re-negotiated leases that will reduce future operating expenses; (iii) provide the Reorganized Debtor with access to additional liquidity in the form of a $22 million senior-secured credit facility that will, among other things, fund Plan distributions and future operations, including the Reorganized Debtor's efforts to grow its online retail business; (iv) provide for cure payments to the Debtor's creditors of over $860,000, and (v) provide a recovery to general unsecured creditors in the form of a $4 million guaranteed cash pool to be used exclusively for funding pro rata distributions to unsecured creditors in accordance with the Plan. Simply put, the Plan will allow the Debtor to achieve a fresh start and an opportunity to thrive as a going concern for years to come.
The Disclosure Statement [Docket No. 217] details a Plan which will, absent the application of cramdown provisions which the Debtor has effectively waived, require the support of general unsecured creditors in Class 3. That class is to split a cash pool of $4.0mn which will deliver an estimated recovery of 50% – 66.67%.
The Disclosure Statement provides : "The Plan contemplates a reorganization of the Debtor's operations pursuant to which the Reorganized Debtor will operate a leaner and more profitable MUJI-branded store portfolio than prior to the bankruptcy Filing, all while continuing its growth of online sales. To that end, the Plan preserves the going-concern value of the Debtor's business, maximizes recoveries to constituents, and protects jobs of the Debtor's employees. More specifically, pursuant to the terms of the Plan:
All Allowed Administrative Claims (other than DIP Facility Claims) and Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall be paid in full in cash.
Allowed DIP Facility Claims shall receive a principal portion of the Exit Facility equal to the DIP Facility Claim Amount (less certain fees and expenses that will be paid to the DIP Lender on the Effective Date).
All Allowed Other Secured Claims and Allowed Other Priority Claims shall be paid in full in cash or receive such other treatment that renders such Claims Unimpaired.
Each Holder of Allowed Class 3 General Unsecured Claim shall receive its pro rata share (calculated based on the proportion that such Holder's Allowed General Unsecured Claim bears to the aggregate amount of Allowed Class 3 General Unsecured Claims) of the $4 million GUC Cash Distribution Pool; provided, further, if Class 3 votes to accept the Plan, each Holder of an Allowed Class 3 Claim shall also receive a release from the Debtor and its Estate of any Avoidance Action against such Holder of the Allowed Class 3 Claim, which release shall be effective as of the Effective Date.
Ryohin Keikuku Co., Ltd. ('RKJ') will contribute its RKJ Unsecured Claims as capital in the Reorganized Debtor.
In consideration of, among other things, RKJ's agreement to: (1) in its capacities as the DIP Lender and the Exit Facility Lender, roll the DIP Facility Claims into a portion of the Exit Facility, (2) forego distributions from the GUC Cash Distribution Pool on account of its RKJ Unsecured Claims, (3) fund the GUC Cash Distribution Pool (via proceeds from the Exit Facility) for the benefit of, and pro rata distribution to, Holders of Allowed Class 3 General Unsecured Claims, and (4) provide the Exit Facility to, among other things, fund distributions under the Plan and provide the Reorganized Debtor with additional liquidity that may be drawn on from time to time, as necessary, by the Reorganized Debtor to, among other things, fund business operations in the future and provide the Reorganized Debtor with a flexible and sustainable capital structure, on the Effective Date, RKJ will retain its Interest in the Reorganized Debtor
The Debtor is seeking to confirm the Plan pursuant to section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and will not be seek a 'cramdown' pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the Plan can be confirmed only if Class 3 votes to accept the Plan."
The following is a summary of classes, claims, voting rights and expected recoveries (defined terms are as defined in the Plan and/or Disclosure Statement, see also the Liquidation Analysis below):
Class 1 ("Other Secured Claims") is unimpaired, deemed to accept and not entitled to vote on the Plan. The aggregate amount of claims is $0 and expected recovery is 100%.
Class 2 ("Other Priority Claims") is unimpaired, deemed to accept and not entitled to vote on the Plan. The aggregate amount of claims is $28,000 and expected recovery is 100%.
Class 3 ("General Unsecured Claims") is impaired and entitled to vote on the Plan. The aggregate amount of claims is $6.0mn – $8.0mn and expected recovery is 50%-66.67%. Each Holder of an Allowed Class 3 General Unsecured Claim shall receive its pro rata share (calculated based on the proportion that such Holder's Allowed Class 3 General Unsecured Claim bears to the aggregate amount of Allowed Class 3 General Unsecured Claims) of the $4.0mn GUC Cash Distribution Pool; provided, further, if Class 3 votes to accept the Plan, each Holder of an Allowed Class 3 General Unsecured Claim shall also receive a release from the Debtor and its Estate of any Avoidance Actions against such Holder of the Allowed Class 3 Claim, which release shall be effective as of the Effective Date.
Class 4 ("RKJ Unsecured Claims") is impaired and entitled to vote on the Plan. The aggregate amount of claims is $63.4mn and on the Effective Date, the RKJ Unsecured Claims shall be deemed contributed as capital in the Reorganized Debtor. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder of the RKJ Unsecured Claims shall be not receive any distribution on account of its RKJ Unsecured Claims from the GUC Cash Distribution Pool.
Class 5 ("Interests in MUJI") is unimpaired, deemed to accept and not entitled to vote on the Plan. The aggregate amount of claims is N/A. The Plan leaves unaltered the legal, equitable and contractual rights to which such Holder is entitled on account of such interests.
On December 18, 2020, the Debtor's claims agent notified the Court of the Plan voting results [Docket No. 264], which were as follows.
Class 3 ("General Unsecured Claims"): 11 claim holders, representing $12,597,421.96 (100%) in amount and 100% in number, voted in favor of the Plan.
Class 4 ("RKJ Unsecured Claims") 1 claim holder, representing $61,241,717.99 (100%) in amount and 100% in number, voted in favor of the Plan.
On August 11, 2020, the Court hearing the MUJI U.S.A. Limited case issued a final order authorizing the Debtor to (i) access a further $15.4mn in new money, debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing and (ii) roll-up $4.0mn of prepetition debt (provided in June 2020 by Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd, "RKC") to see the Debtor through the run up to its Chapter 11 filing) [Docket No. 105]. RKC is also the Debtor's parent/sole shareholder.
The total amount of DIP financing was $22.0mn: (i) $18.0mn of which was new money ($2.6mn made available by a July 14th interim order and $15.4mn by the final order) and (ii) the $4.0mn roll-up of the emergency bridge financing noted above.
The following documents were attached to the Disclosure Statement [Docket No. 217]:
Exhibit A: Plan (separately filed at Docket No. 218)
Exhibit B: Liquidation Analysis (separately filed at Docket No. 220)
Exhibit C: Financial Projections (separately filed at Docket No. 220)
Exhibit D: Tax Consequences (separately filed at Docket No. 220)
The Debtor filed Plan Supplements at Docket Nos. 247, 248, 250 and 251, and attached the following documents:
Exhibit A: Composition of the Initial Board of Directors and Initial Senior Executive Officers of the Reorganized Debtor
Exhibit B: New Organizational Documents
Exhibit C: Schedule of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be Assumed, with Respective Cure Amounts (Amended at Docket No. 250 and 251)
Exhibit D: Exit Facility Documents (Filed at Docket No. 248)
Events Leading to the Chapter 11 Filing
The Disclosure Statement notes, "…the Debtor opened the first of its stores in the United States in late 2007. The Debtor thereafter strategically expanded its footprint in the United States such that by December 31, 2019 the Debtor operated over twenty (20) stores in five states.
The Debtor experienced operating losses for each year since 2017, which losses were funded by an increase in the managed cash overdraft (discussed above) and issuance of common stock to RKJ. A large portion of these losses are directly attributable to the Debtor having expanded its footprint quickly and entered into expensive, above-market leases for numerous store locations.
The Debtor experienced continued operating losses in January and February 2020, and was struggling financially even prior to the outbreak of COVID-19. However, such issues were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic as all of the Debtor's stores were forced to close due to orders by various state and local authorities.
The Debtor ultimately determined that a proceeding under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code was in the best interests of the Debtor and its stakeholders, with the intent of restructuring its operations and right-sizing its footprint, while also continuing to grow its online presence.
In preparation for a bankruptcy Filing, the Debtor negotiated with RKJ (in such capacity, the 'DIP Lender') to extend it debtor-in-possession financing consisting of up to $22.0 million in secured, delayed-draw term loans. The DIP Facility provided MUJI with timely access to liquidity while it restarted operations."

About the Debtor
According to Ryohin: "MUJI, first launched in December 1980 as a proprietary brand of Seiyu Store (now Seiyu GK) with 40 items primarily on food, is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. During the past years, the number of products has been increased to around 7,000, and MUJI stores are now available in 31 countries and regions including Japan. MUJI products, which are produced by constantly returning to the starting point of "manufacturing no-frills quality products" and always taking into consideration the producers as well as the environment, have been enjoying continuous support from our customers around the world.
Based on our overall strategy of "To Serve a Purpose" for the people and society, today we are expanding beyond the concept of retailing to provide design for self-driving buses, collaborate on specialty food sales with local people in and outside Japan – seeking in all these efforts to revitalize local communities.
In a situation where uncertainties are expected to continue due to the enormous impact of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, we have been, and will continue to contribute to society as a sustainable global company that provides products and services trusted by people worldwide. We would very much appreciate the continued support and understanding of our stakeholders.
