Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is one of Australia's most common serious childhood diseases. About 10, 000 children under the age of 18 live with the condition and around 1,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.
T1D is a chronic auto-immune condition where the immune system destroys cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Insulin helps cells in our body turn glucose or sugar into energy.
People with T1D must monitor their blood glucose levels multiple times every day, usually with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), and they rely on insulin being delivered through a pump, or by injection, to regulate these levels.
But emerging technologies are changing the way some people manage this disease, encouraging a DIY approach that is igniting ethical debate in the healthcare profession.
What do we need to know about online genetic testing?
At the University of Melbourne we have begun exploring the legal, ethical and regulatory issues of these new approaches.
A study recently published in The Lancet reviewed hybrid closed-loop systems, where insulin is delivered automatically through a pump, apart from when the user administers insulin boosts at meal time. The study shows that hybrid closed loop systems improve glucose control while reducing the risk of hypoglycaemia or low blood glucose.
Closing the loop takes out human intervention. In a closed loop system a CGM feeds real-time blood glucose levels into an algorithm which calculates the amount of insulin required and instructs the insulin pump to deliver this amount. This is an 'artificial pancreas' and the method is called 'looping'.
Current studies in Australia are evaluating looping for adults and children with Type 1 Diabetes.
However, these technologies are not commercially available and, at the moment, they can only be 'built' by individuals for their own use using freely available software.
In the US, a group of tech savvy parents who became tired of waiting for technology to better manage their children's diabetes, came up with their own artificial pancreas.
Under the hashtag #WeAreNotWaiting, people in the diabetes community are developing a range of platforms, apps and cloud-based solutions to find a more convenient and effective way to live with the disease.
One such DIY project is OpenAPS - the Open Artificial Pancreas System project. The project describes itself as 'an open and transparent effort to make safe and effective basic Artificial Pancreas System technology widely available to more quickly improve and save as many lives as possible and reduce the burden of Type 1 diabetes'.
It uses a simplified Artificial Pancreas System designed to automatically adjust an insulin pump's delivery to keep blood glucose levels safe. People can build their own 'closed loop' system using the online toolkit and compatible medical devices that allows access to real time continuous glucose monitoring data via a personal website or smart phone.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) imposes a regulatory structure for the approval of medical devices, including any required software. However, open source software like the OpenAPS is outside this regulatory framework and the TGA recognises this has become 'an issue of real concern'.
In August this year, Diabetes Australia issued a position statement about these DIY technologies.
Adults can exercise their autonomy and choose to 'loop', taking on board the benefits and risks. But should healthcare practitioners, like paediatric endocrinologists and diabetes educators, support parents to use unregulated medical devices for their children?
Boy or girl: Should we be able to choose?
Parents and medical practitioners may have different perspectives about the relative benefits and harms of looping and, anecdotally, we have heard that paediatric endocrinologists have been advised by their medical defence insurers not to provide this support.
We are exploring the issues surrounding personalised closed loop systems for childhood diabetes.
We are seeking to understand the perspectives of key stakeholders and currently gathering data from paediatric endocrinologists, general practitioners and diabetes educators through an online survey and semi structured interviews. We want to find out their experiences of and attitudes to looping for children.
The next phase of the project will invite parents of children with T1D, teenagers and young adults with the condition to tell us about their understanding of looping, their experiences of using this DIY technology or why they have chosen not to use it.
We will then speak to the Therapeutic Goods Administration and CSIRO, which is conducting research into medical device cyber security, to support the development of a TGA guidance document. Medical indemnity insurers and software developers will also be invited to contribute to the study.
DIY technologies provide an opportunity to monitor and track health metrics continuously and in real time. They enable diagnosis and chronic condition management to take place outside a hospital setting.
But as medical devices become more networked and are increasingly controlled by the patient, security procedures and regulations need to keep pace with the user's expectations and needs.
Dr Johnston is speaking on this topic at the A.I., Machine Learning & Robotics in Health conference on Wednesday November 20, 2018.
We can find out about our ancestry or our risk of disease through our unique DNA - but do you know who has a right to access and use that information?

If you have a question or run into a problem, please email us at sup****@**asskeysoftware.com. We'd love to hear from you, and we'll help or fix the problem as soon as possible.
If you need help right away, we've put together this list of common questions and answers. Give this page a quick scan; the answer you're looking for might be right here!
Questions about gameplay
Q: Why doesn't the app randomly shuffle the deck?
A: Shuffling is done in the most random way possible. This is how the deck is shuffled, for every type of game except FreeCell and its variants (which have their own special shuffling rules):
1. Start with a list of all the cards (A) and an empty list (B)
2. Randomly pick a card from list (A) and add it to the end of list (B)
3. Repeat step 2. until list (A) is empty
4. List (B) is now the shuffled deck
Every time a new game is dealt, the deck is shuffled in this way. We would improve it if we could, but it honestly could not be more random than it already is.
Of course, it's impossible for a computer to generate truly random numbers, but for shuffling just 52 or 104 cards, this technique is very close to random, far better than almost anyone could shuffle by hand.
Q: How do I draw 1 card in Klondike instead of 3?
A: Just tap the Deal button and pick Select a game, then choose one of the Draw 1 versions of Klondike from the list of games.
Q: How can I play Spider with only 1 or 2 suits?
A: Tap the Deal button and pick Select a game, then choose Spider: Spades for 1 suit, or Spider: Spades & Hearts for 2 suits from the list of games.
Q: Sometimes the autoplay function doesn't play a card that could be played. Is this a bug?
A: For most of the different types of solitaire, the autoplay logic will not play a card if it might be needed later to play a lower-ranked card that isn't yet available. However, if it's the only move that can be made, it will be played anyway.
Q: Why does the app tell me there are no more moves available, when there really are?
A: Phones and tablets are powerful, but they're still limited. There's not enough memory in today's mobile devices to do a complete scan of every possible future move. So instead we do the best we can and look at the current positions of the cards, plus some special cases. In practice we're now pretty good at finding possible moves, but we may still miss some.
If you come across a situation where the app wrongly tells you there are no more moves, please let us know. We might be able to improve the logic.
Q: How do I reset the bank balance for Klondike Vegas or Canfield?
A: To reset the bank balance, tap the Config button and pick High scores, then tap Reset bank in the High scores screen. Note that that option only appears when you're playing one of the Klondike Vegas or Canfield games.
Q: How can I see the cards that run off the bottom of the screen?
A: If all the cards don't fit on the screen, touch and hold in the unused playing area and drag up or down to see them all. You can also change the card spacing in Settings, so more cards will fit on the screen at once.
When the card spacing in Settings is set to Auto (with the slider all the way to the left), you can check the box next to Collapse unselected stacks. This tightens up the spacing of the cards, but leaves the bottom card of each stack and the selected card more visible.
Q: Is there any way to back up my settings and high scores in case I need to reinstall the app?
A: Yes, and you don't need to do anything special! Starting with version 2.65, your settings and high scores should automatically be backed up and restored on most devices, so long as you've configured your Android account to restore apps and settings.
Q: I can't download the app, or I have a billing problem. What do I do?
A: This is one area where the amount of help we can give you is, unfortunately, limited. All of the app stores handle the payment and download processes themselves. If you need to know the steps to take to download an app, we can tell you that. However, if you have a problem with payment or an error downloading, you'll have to contact the app store where you purchased the app. Here's how to contact the support departments for the various app stores.
Google Play: support.google.com/googleplay
Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/apps/ref=mas_ya_cu
If they are unable to help you, please get in touch with us. We may be able to contact them on your behalf and get some results.
Q: Are there iPhone or iPad versions of your apps?
A: We don't currently have plans to make iOS versions of the apps. We haven't completely ruled it out, but it would be a big investment in time, learning and tools that we're not equipped to handle right now.

In June 1940, German troops massed across the Channel, poised for the invasion of Britain. With France defeated and Britain cowed, Hitler seemed ready for his greatest gamble.
In this brilliant and compelling alternate history the Germans launch the invasion that, in reality, was never more than a plan. Landing between Dover and Hythe, German troops push inland supported by the Luftwaffe and the impregnable panzers, and strike out towards London. The British, desperate to defeat the invaders, rally and prepare for a crucial confrontation – at Maidstone.
Realistic, carefully researched and superbly written, this best-selling study is a classic of alternate history and a thought-provoking look at how Britain's war might have been.

Soon, But Not Yet (Goodbye to America)
Bonjour ma famille et mes amis,
So, drum-roll please: our guest speaker last Tuesday was none other than:....President Russell M. Nelson!
It was by far the coolest devotional we've had. It was his first speaking engagement as President of the Twelve. It was a worldwide broadcast to all the MTCs in the world, and because I was in the choir, I had a few camera shots focus on my face during our musical number. It felt awesome to be a Mormon celebrity for two minutes. I also happened to notice that my cheeks have gotten really chubby. (:
One thing that was awesome about the devotional was the aura that just surrounded President Nelson. About fifteen minutes before the devotional, everyone in the assembly hall was just chatting and talking normally, waiting for the devotional to start, and all of a sudden everyone went dead silent. We hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary, there was just this sudden density of feeling in the air, and we all felt and knew that President Nelson had just walked into the building. That was the most reverent I've ever seen missionaries become. He didn't even walk into the assembly hall for another five minutes, but we all just knew that he was here.
It was so interesting to see him in person. To me, he looked even more young and spry than he has in the past. He seemed very lively, and in no way did he look like he was going on 91. Old yes, but not 90.
Sister Nelson spoke first, and she talked about how we are not just a Utah church, we are an eternal church. If we were just a Utah church, then Moses, Elias, and Elijah would not have come and given keys to the gathering of Israel, the sealing of families, and saving ordinances for the dead.
President Nelson built off of that talk, discussing the threefold mission of the Church, which ties to those three keys that Moses, Elias, and Elijah restored. If we are to be great missionaries, we must be "epistles of the Lord". In order to do so, we must have the Doctrine of Christ (not the doctrines of Christ) engraven on our hearts. Discussing this, he kind of just looked at the camera with this grin and said "I've engraved my initials on a lot of hearts". At first everyone was thinking "Wow, President Nelson was a player," so the joke got a few half-laughs, and then two seconds later we all realized that he was a heart surgeon for a living, so he was talking very literally. We all just burst out laughing!
President Nelson gave us an apostle's perspective on the age change for missionaries. He said that the Twelve had no idea how to work out the specifics of the age change, but they had faith in the Lord. They knew that, from the Lord's perspective, more youth would be engaged in missionary work, and that more young people would be endowed earlier. He also talked about becoming President of the Quorum. He said that President Packer and Elder Perry weren't dead, but just merely transferred to another area. He said that we should be grateful we don't have some kind of deliberation or election for who should be the next President of the Quorum, and to be grateful for how we leave that calling up to the Lord. He said it is the most peaceful way to have those kinds of transitions in the Church...unless you're the one getting called. (:
I just have such a testimony of how President Nelson, and the other Apostles, and President Monson and the First Presidency are all called and ordained of God to be His representatives on the earth. They hold the keys to our church, and as times will continue to get more and more confusing, on a global and personal level, they will have the words of wisdom and the Lord. I hope each of you will thoroughly study the words of the living prophets and apply them deeply into your lives.
In terms of MTC in general, I'm doing well. I'm sorry I haven't gotten that package home yet, this week was very intense and exhausting for me. I've been trying all week to get it put together, but every time I sit down to pack, I either fall asleep, or someone needs my help. No worries, though, I'll get that in the mail today.
Me and Elder Herring got our travel plans yesterday. Getting our travel plans has made me really realize that I'm leaving America for two whole years. It's finally starting to hit me hard that I'm leaving a whole continent behind. It's definitely making me think about the differences between here and there, and what I'm leaving behind. I'm not homesick, but I'm definitely thinking a lot about how different of a world I'm about to enter. I had a lot of honest questions about how I'm going to handle living in a third-world country halfway across the globe, for two years.
This morning, me and Elder Herring went to our probably last temple trip for two years. We went to the Celestial Room, and we sat there and were just in awe of how we'd never be in a celestial room for two years. It really got to me, you know?
Then, as we walked out the temple doors, the sun had just risen, and so all of Utah valley was just in front of us. The LaVell Edwards Stadium was directly in front of us, with the big BYU logo on top. As I saw the big "Y," I realized how very...detached I felt from everything. At night, before bed, the thought would sometimes pop up about what life after the mission would be like. I love BYU, and I know it's the school for me, but when I saw the stadium, for some reason I just felt disconnected from it. That was the biggest comfort in the world. I could almost hear myself saying "Soon, but not yet". I just felt completely unattached to the places outside of the MTC. I sure do miss the people I love, and I'm excited to see where you all go in these next two years, but I feel absolutely comfortable leaving everything behind for two years. Yes, Africa still feels daunting, but I feel ready to just jump in. I want to jump in. And in two years, then I'll jump into BYU and friends and dating and jobs and such, but as a church we believe in baptism by immersion, and I think the same symbolism applies to our life in general: just dunk yourself completely into your current season of life. Be where you are.
So, to my friends and family, I would give you this piece of advice: center your lives on the Doctrine of Christ, and just jump into the life that's waiting for you. Go to high school, go to college, do your very best, go on dates, get married, go on missions, preach the Gospel, and be kind to all you see and meet. Love everyone around you, including yourself. Be humble, but be bold. Open up your heart to the blessings and opportunities ahead of you, and jump in. Don't worry about me. Definitely update me on what happens though: I'd love to know how the first day of school went, the dates y'all go on, when y'all get your mission calls, and I'd love to help out the best I can when you are having difficulties. But don't worry about me. Live the fullest life you can. Be where you are, and just immerse yourself into the time in which you are asked to live now.
I love you all so very much, and I wish you the very best. Do well and do good,
Avec un beaucoup d'amour,

"Kiss me Once" – Kylie
The definitive 'Kylie Sound'; it's what Kylie herself and pop obsessives everywhere are desperate to identify, capture and then immortalise and never has this felt more apparent than on "Kiss Me Once", her twelfth studio album. Her biggest hits are studies in expert song writing, of-the-moment production and perfect execution. From "Hand On my Heart" to "Slow", "Spinning Around" to "Can't Get you Out of My Head", all effortless sounding pop from an artist who has more than proved her worth as a leader in the field. This album sees her again working with some of the most de rigueur and established writers and producers available with reclusive pop extraordinaire herself, Sia Furler, curating the entire project. Kylie's first album for Jay Z's Roc-A-Fella has not come cheap it, seems. Three albums worth of songs have been recorded over the album's two year creation and many have deemed not worthy of inclusion. For example none of the collaborations with Minogue's new partner on the reality talent show The Voice, will.i.am, are here, a cause for celebration for some. So what exactly has made the finishing line and does the Kylie Sound of 2014 live up to some of her previous heady years? Yes and no.
The first half of "Kiss Me Once" is indeed the most problematic and some of it is best got out of the way as quickly as possible before the really good stuff starts to cut through and rise to the sheeny, shiny surface. Lead single "Into the Blue" is smart and solid -- very much a 'Kylie' song -- and contains a string section that is uplifting and vocal phrasing and beats that are certainly in keeping with current chart fodder. It is however disappointing in its overall niceness and lack of originality. Kylie's best songs have also incorporated the unexpected with the familiar and for a song leading us into a new era it is not exactly encouraging. There are then two songs which both, at Sia's insistence, contain the word 'sex' (a third follows later of a different standard entirely) and almost suggest the onset of a concept album. "Sexy Love" comes first and is a wholly derivative Daft Punk/Chic/"Holiday" hybrid which has tons of sunny Kylie enthusiasm in the place where the song should be. "Sexercise", a Furler co-write, follows and is the most cynical three minutes here. It's a focus-grouped, trend-chasing attempt at maintaining her Grindr demographic in addition to securing just one more USA hit, urban style. It's horrible and if you liked Madonna's "Hard Candy" weaker moments that it may just be your favourite.
Pharrell Williams, currently as ubiquitous a producer as Sia is writer, thankfully comes to the rescue with "I Was Gonna Cancel". Seems Williams understands the Kylie DNA better than he did Madonna's. A joyous, confident and supremely carefree disco tune that has a nice pinch of 'fuck you!' about it. With its "I Want Your Love" bassline and bells that resemble Blondie's "Rapture", this is the first song here where Kylie sounds like you might expect her to given the diverse talent that features here. "Feels So Good" is airy, electronic pop that is both enveloping and aloof in its purpose. It's a cover version of the Tom Aspaul song "Indiana", produced by new kid on the block MNEK, with its dreamy chord progression and Kylie's translucent vocals is one of the best things here. Ariel Rechtshaid of HAIM and Sky Ferreira fame ups the ante further on the tense and metallic "If Only". Vocal samples are slowed down and sped up and disorientate and muddle and the drums pound like a sci-fi "Hounds of Love". Truly dynamic and modern sounding with Minogue's coolly enunciated,heartbreaking admission -- 'if I set you free and you actually came back to me…if only'. The final song in the sex trilogy "Les Sex" is another triumph. Written by the brilliant and underrated female electro star MDNR, it is a music box sweet and then a squelching and whacking camp delight.
Enrique Iglesias, following The Hurts and Neil Tennant before him, is allocated duetting honours on the deceiving ballad "Beautiful". It's deceptive because of its highly vocodered vocals and soulless machines suggesting something macabre and narcotic, when it is in fact excruciatingly sentimental and dull; a low point indeed. "Fine" is a handbag house type affair with lyrics suggesting a positive outlook equals a positive life cliché. It's not the most adventurous song Kylie has ever made and like a lot of the songs here (see also "Million Miles") it does a perfunctory job of producing workman-like album tracks. This leaves the one other Sia Furler penned song, the title track, "Kiss Me Once". Given Sia's song-writing style which is now becoming recognisable – dots can be joined that connect "Diamonds" to "Perfume" to "Pretty Hurts" – "Kiss Me Once" is unmistakable only as a Kylie song. Lush and dreamy, romantic and multi-coloured, it will be become a favourite for many. Kylie herself sounds re-assuring and warm and the bells and the beats that surround her balance out any concerns of mawkishness. It is a performance and song that could have come from the best of Minogue's PWL years, the Cathy Dennis sessions of "Fever" or her first album for Deconstruction; a Kylie Minogue song for all seasons, beautifully realised.
If there is a comparison to be made between this and another of Kylie's albums then it would be 2007's "X", another album that suffered from a long gestation period with many songs being recorded with a myriad of producers and writers and then a patchy final track-listing that lacked cohesion and quality control. Like "X", "Kiss Me Once" also features some of the best material that Minogue has put her name to but also some of the worse. Only on her best but not most successful album, 2009's "Aphrodite" (executive producer, the extraordinary Stuart Price) was this problem averted with a collection of expertly judged songs that formed a tight and unified vision of pop superiority. There is always a degree of good will placed at Kylie Minogue's tiny feet, she appears loved by many in an industry that excels in back biting and a desire for always younger, fresh talent and a general sense that the UK, her biggest audience, do not want to see her suffer or to fail. 'Kiss Me Once' is not going to change that and is a crowd pleasing but uneven effort at maintaining her status as pop's eternal princess. Her more interesting songs, of which only a couple appear here, have always hinted at a darker and more introspective and experimental Kylie; maybe it's time now for her to embrace this side and allow us more than just the glimpse that she's permitted over her 27 year tenure.

If you check out MusicRiot regularly, you'll know that our contributors have one thing in common; they're all passionate about (maybe bordering on obsessed by) music. All of the Riot Squad (John Preston, Louie Anderson and, most recently, Klare Stephens) love music of all styles and the reason we do this is because we want to share our passion and maybe get a few more people to listen to the music we love, whether it's live or recorded. Also, because music is such a personal thing we like to bring that element into our contributions; opinions are always subjective, but at least we're upfront about it. Often it can feel like shouting in the dark: then you have a weekend like the one I've just had.
Last week I published a review of the excellent album "Closer than you Know" by The Kennedys and I was invited to review their gig at Kings Place in London on Friday. I also had a gig lined up for Sunday night, going to watch the Billy Walton Band in High Barnet with some good friends. Both gigs were superb in very different ways; you can read The Kennedys review and previous Billy Walton Band reviews here on MusicRiot and work out for yourself that I'm impressed.
The live performances by these bands, however, are only part of the story. All of the musicians at these two gigs (Pete and Maura Kennedy, Billy Walton, William Paris, Rich Taskowitz and John D'Angelo) are extremely gifted musicians who love what they do and love to interact with their audience personally and online. Both bands mix with the audience when they aren't actually performing (and sometimes when they are; yeah that's you Billy and Rich) and have a huge amount of respect for their fans, fellow musicians and songwriters.
Both gigs were superb in different ways; The Kennedys stripped down their songs to arrangements for two acoustic guitars and two voices while the Billy Walton Band played raucous r'n'r (and blues and soul and the rest) in the way that bands from New Jersey do. Both bands were happy to play requests from the audience regardless of the setlist they had prepared. Most importantly, both bands were obviously having a good time. So far, so good, but excellence is pretty much what I expected from these two bands and this weekend was about much more than that.
I've been reviewing gigs in London and elsewhere for MusicRiot for six years now and sometimes it can be a bit depressing; you watch incredibly gifted bands and artists performing to audiences which just scrape into three figures and most of them are friends of the band. I've been to blues gigs where the majority of the audience at least twice as old as the musicians. It was great to see two very different gigs this weekend where the ages of the audience ranged widely and everyone was there to hear great live music and have a good time. And that brings me on to the reason why we all contribute to MusicRiot.
We don't ignore the established bands at MusicRiot; we had two reviews of the Daft Punk album last week and we've reviewed albums by Bruce Springsteen, Scissor Sisters, Lana del Rey and Saint Etienne in the last year or so. We also love to discover a diverse range of bands and artists that you might not have heard of and tell you all about them so we'll carry on telling you all about artists like The Kennedys, the Billy Walton Band, MS MR, Sally Shapiro, Tomorrow's World, Lilygun, Stoneface Travellers, Dean Owens and many more. We've even got some pretty good photos for you to look at.
If there's one lesson that I've learned from six years at MusicRiot it's this; whatever you hear on daytime radio, there's always good music out there if you know where to look and that's why the Riot Squad do what they do. And thanks to Richie Taz for the title.

"Random Access Memories" – Daft Punk by Louie Anderson and John Preston and Louie Anderson
I think this is a first for the Riot Squad. I probably shouldn't be surprised that two of our contributors wanted to review this album. Instead of choosing one or the other, we thought it would be great to publish both reviews. They come at the subject from different directions and experiences but the conclusions are… well you can read that for yourself.
Daft Punk are an act with nothing to prove. Given the amount of work that's gone into "Random Access Memories" it's easy to think otherwise but when you consider how the world fell at their feet upon the announcement of the album and the success its pre-release single, "Get Lucky", achieved it's fair to say it's become clear that they've earned their place in the sub-consciousness of today's pop world. Everything surrounding this new album almost allows it, in some people's minds, to transcend the notion that the new release can be considered simply that: an album, which after all is all we've received here. Many bands whose status grows to the heights of an act like Daft Punk's feel the need to use a new release to reignite the world's passion for them, they craft a new statement defining their existence and remind everyone why they're even here to begin with but here that's not the case. With "Random Access Memories", Daft Punk are simply paying tribute to the music that inspired them and the world and reminding people why we love it so. This album's not about them, it's about something much bigger and that's nice.
This is most clear on the third track, "Giorgio by Moroder", featuring a monologue from the almost-synonymous producer detailing his early music career. It begins as less of a piece of music, more a vocalised autobiography punctuated by a backing instrumental, however it evolves into a huge-sounding clash of Daft Punk's usual electro-house sounds and a live orchestra, featuring rather explosive drumming. This song is where Daft Punk's motive behind the creation of this album is most prevalent and obvious and is actually very exciting. It's one of the moments where it feels like the duo truly deserve the status they've garnered over the years, at once displaying their skills at creating both futuristic and boundary-pushing musical landscapes and producing something an listener can relate to and enjoy. However these moments are actually few and far between. That's not to say the rest of the album is bad by any means, although there is a lot of filler, just that much of it seems dwarfed by the ambition and scale of some tracks.
For example when you consider "Touch", a sprawling eight-minute epic featuring Paul Williams on vocals which seems to try and explore all kinds of musical styles, including both the sounds of music halls from the 40s and string-laden power ballads, and compare it with something as simple as "The Game of Love", a smooth, funky, soulful, robot-voiced jam that Daft Punk fans will be very used to by now, it feels like a lot more care and thought has gone into the tracks featuring the rather impressive list of collaborators. The duo's solo tracks suffer and pale in comparison, feeling like bridges over the gaps between collaborations. Often it seems like extraordinary measures have been made just to distinguish them, like the bizarre Disney-esque fanfare pinned to the start of "Beyond".
However it is these collaborations which save the record so the focus they've received is understandable (or perhaps the converse is true). Personal highlights include the irresistible Julian Calasblancas-featuring "Instant Crush". His vocals are run through pitch-shift software which makes him sound like a falsetto version of one of Daft Punk's own robot voices. The catchy, rhythmic runs in the chorus are nearly the most memorable moment on the album. "Doin' It Right", featuring Panda Bear from Animal Collective, is by far the simplest track here and is gorgeous. It is literally just AnCo vs. Daft Punk with the collaborator singing over a spine-tingling ascending robot vocal loop with very little else interfering. Nile Rodgers' presence is made very clear, with his signature staccato guitar licks gliding infectiously over three tracks, including of course the full album version of the previously heard "Get Lucky" which now flows properly and feels fully formed in its extended album version.
The most consistent thing on "Random Access Memories" is the meticulous production values, ensuring that every track at least sounds meaningful and organic. Every instrument is crisp and warm, with overall soundscapes feeling very spacious yet united. Daft Punk often seem to try and recall the sound of seventies disco, free it up, give it a cleaner quality with more room to breathe and mix it up with their own unique feel, all the while pushing everything in a new direction. It's a very sincere venture and elements which feel borrowed rarely seem to act as a crutch.
"Random Access Memories" is a pleasing but flawed album. When you strip away the notions of this release acting as a movement or an event and look at what is displayed front to back on a disc, what's here is largely enjoyable; not consistently but the highs remind us why Daft Punk are now so highly-revered. While nothing is as instant or probably as memorable as hits of old like "One More Time", several tracks here do deserve to be remembered and the overall product is very warm, it's just that the duo's sights seem to get distracted along the way. If you go in listening to this as you would any old album then there's enjoyment to be had to a degree. If you fancy believing the promises made that this is the new best album ever, please calm down.
Louie Anderson (3 stars)
The best thing to do with an album is just listen to it; I've been doing this for 35 years now and can testify to its effectiveness. In the small, market town that I grew up in, I visited the tiny, local independent record shop almost every day for at least 2 months after school and Saturday mornings, waiting for Grace Jones' "Nightclubbing" album to appear. The 2 staff, sick to the back teeth of seeing me , weren't exactly sure when it was going to be released; it didn't seem to be confirmed anywhere and then one day, there it was, this mysterious, magical disc. No inner sleeve notes, no guest producers or artists, no media assault and no idea how it would sound. I almost certainly ran home and then consumed every second of this amazing record, it helped me deal with the problems of being an outsider and influenced me in ways that I certainly didn't understand then. It has since become an album that is considered a classic, a glimpse into the future which still doesn't sound dated now and the house band of Sly and Robbie and the late Alex Sadkin (collectively known as the Compass Point All Stars), the ultimate in session musicians, are now stars in their own right. I can't imagine what it would like if this album were to be released today. The hype that would be attached to it would probably break the internet.
I've been listening to Daft Punk's fourth album proper, "Random Access Memories", on and off during the last week; on headphones, on my stereo at home, on my iPad. I've heard it in some of the few remaining record shops in central London and in a couple of bars, blaring out. It is without doubt an album that is ambitious, outrageous and gorgeous sounding, but try if you can to turn down the noise of the hype, the incredible marketing campaign which still hasn't given us a full video for one song but has turned this album, by a band who were merely popular before but now appear to be reinvented as 'iconic', into a full blown event. It's even been claimed that these two French men who are never seen without their robot heads, have rescued dance music from something; I'm not sure what exactly. This is all of course quite amazing, but what is it you can actually hear? You just need to try and listen.
Nile Rodgers is one of the two men, the other being the late Bernard Edwards, responsible for The Chic Organisiation, words that my still make my heart beat a little bit faster when I see them. Chic made their own intelligent, beautiful and sometimes euphoric, sometimes sad dance records and Rodgers and Edwards, along with their own session band and singers, went on to produce other artists such as Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, David Bowie and Deborah Harry. Rodgers plays guitar on this album, most predominantly on the first track released from the album, "Get Lucky" and this song has really struck a chord with music buyers such is its immediate, enormous success; with Pharrell Williams' falsetto, it has a strong melody line and its lyrical optimism is welcomed in what is globally, a pretty bleak time. Compared to the Chic canon of hits how would this one measure up? Well, it's not "Good Times", "Le Freak" or "I Want Your Love". Lyrically, structurally and rhythmically "Get Lucky" would be a minor Chic record, more reminiscent of their 80's work where a looser, less urgent and less staccato sound came to the fore and their success began to wane. "Lose Yourself To Dance" is not "Lost in Music;, Rodgers' guitar, when it appears after the false start, is still so beautiful and so fluid but the song plods and is a good example of repetition not working although it can be a key component to some great dance music. Maybe I shouldn't be drawing parallels between these two songs to Chic compositions but surely that's what Daft Punk have tried to recreate here? Harking back to a time where music, dance music in particular, was more organic, soulful and, somewhat ironically for two men who have never been seen without their robot helmets glued to their heads, human. It would be their own fault if comparisons are made.
"I Feel Love" is not a song, it's a place which Giorgio Moroder, record producer extraordinaire, and disco goddess and his most accomplished muse, Donna Summer, built together in 1977, took residence in and have never left; people still get lost in it and will continue to. Play it now and it still sounds like it's from the future; its other-worldliness and beauty intact. Moroder himself explains how he came to make music on the second most audacious track here called "Giorgio by Moroder" and it's one of the few tracks where, like "I Feel Love", something happens in your brain which makes it respond to what it can hear in a very visceral way, a physical urge to react, with the last third of this nine minute opus in particular being a complete oral riot and making me grin like a crazy fool. An amazing bass line, synth hook, scratching effects, strings, live drums and an energy that is not matched again here and, despite the structure of the song, which is more like a suite and is very in keeping with Moroder's more ambitious work (the original sixteen minute version of "McArthur Park"), this still sounds like a Daft Punk record, the aims of this album being very much achieved here.
"Touch" is a silly, show-off mess of a show tune, not a good show tune but a pretentious, overblown, rock-opera cheesy one made up of four different parts playing over eight minutes. The most divisive track on "RAM", it has a full orchestra and a choir and is the only time you will hear a female voice albeit one blended with other vocals during the album's seventy-five minute running time. This is one of the main flaws regarding the decisions made by Daft Punk in their choice of collaborators. Here's the list in full; Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers, Paul Williams, Giorgio Moroder, Chilly Gonzales, DJ Falcon, Todd Edwards, Panda Bear and Julian Casablancas from The Strokes. A complete boys club then and it's an odd decision to exclude any kind of female presence when the genre which is being honoured, or being paid tribute to here, was one where the female vocalist was key, a generation of women who had almost dysfunctional levels of intimacy with the producer and who went on to record seminal pieces of work. No sign of that here though but Pharrell Williams, to his credit, has already, quite rightly, put Madonna's name forward.
There are four, maybe five, tracks which have the trademark, sad robot vocoder sound or are completely instrumental. They noodle and doodle around a bit, electronic keyboards and soft rock guitar, quite beautifully arranged and played but seem created to fulfil the cliché of music made for the background, something that their previous output could not be accused of. Julian Casablancas' very heavily treated vocals probably get the best actual song on here with the sombre, minor key "Instant Crush" and the minimal, electro jolt of "Doing It Right" with a bright, white Panda Bear vocal recalls a lesser "Digital Love". The choppy chords on the opening track, "Give Life Back to Music Again", again featuring Rodgers and his magic guitar, bring back memories of and sound a lot like Oliver Cheatham's "Get Down It's Saturday Night", nice but hardly inspired or original.
I have had a long term love affair with Daft Punk's 2001 album, "Discovery". It samples Barry Manilow (an early clue maybe?) and features at least four incredible songs which will contribute in helping to define a decade in music and culture generally. "RAM" announced itself loudly and long before its actual arrival and now it's here it feels underwhelming and is nostalgic, clinical, and occasionally brilliant and will be a musical trainspotter of a certain age's treasure trove. I've been guilty of indulging that part of me in this review. Giorgio Moroder speaks about his desire of wanting to create the sound of the future here, something he achieved with little fanfare, a bit like Grace, and this is what "Discovery" sounded like to a lot of people when it appeared some 12 years ago. The fact that it influenced pop (and r'n'b, which ended up becoming the new pop) to the extent that it did is still unbelievable; it sounded so underground, so consigned to a club! And this album is apparently a reaction to the further progression of commercial dance music labelled EDM (electronic dance music), which Daft Punk vocally dislike but are of course partly, and probably quite a large part, responsible for. Instead of looking to the future though, the duo now seem content to swoon over the past, a decision that will excite many I'm sure but in terms of their own evolution, it's hard to hear anything that hasn't been heard many times before. It's clear though that the ultimate message being conveyed with "RAM" is that by aligning themselves with two of the best, most prolific and important dance producers and writers of our time, Daft Punk also consider themselves part of that gang too; only time can tell. Ask Giorgio, he'll tell you.

What's Going On (May 2013)?
It's beginning to look suspiciously like the start of summer, what with the rain stopping and the sun appearing at last, but the Riot Squad don't care about any of that (apart from the fact that we can wear our shades now without looking ridiculous). Anyway, we've got a busy few weeks coming up with plenty of live and recorded music to tell you about.
"Closer Than You Know" – The Kennedys
I'm finally going to get to see Anna-Christina's live, unplugged show "Pretty Little Lady?" this week and I'll be telling you all about that next week. The highly-acclaimed New York duo, The Kennedys, are touring the UK and Ireland to promote their latest album "Closer Than You Know" and we'll be telling you all about that later this month. Then, at the end of the month, I'll be going to Edinburgh to see Modern Misfortune whose first EP is out now.
John's going to be reviewing albums by Little Boots, Alison Moyet, MS MR and Daft Punk and I'll be having a listen to The Kennedys album. I'm also trying to get hold of a review copy of the debut Federal Charm album which is out in June. I'll keep you posted on that.
We're also kicking around the idea of a monthly Riot Squad podcast to let you know what we sound like and what we're up to each month. It's going to be an interesting month.

Q: equation representing 2 straight lines Let us assume this equation is given to us we have to factorize it
    $$12x^2 +7xy-10y^2+13x+45y-3=0$$
By solving we get that this represents two straight lines.
But how to factorize it? Is there a way which we can factorize all such equations which represents two straight lines or it require some special technique ?

A: I have changed my mind.  First factorize $12x^2+7xy-10y^2$ as the product of two factors $(ax+by)(cx+dy)$.  It is just like factoring an ordinary quadratic.
Then bring in $e$ and $f$ like this: $(3x-2y+e)(4x+5y+f)$  The linear terms are
$e(4x+5y)+f(3x-2y)=13x+45y$  Collect the coefficients of $x$, so $4e+3f=13$, and also an equation for $y$.
You now have two equations in $e$ and $f$ to be satisfied at the same time.  If you can solve them, you are done.
As a check, $ef$ should equal -3.  If they don't, it was a hyperbola, not a pair of lines.

A: The general version of the quadratic equation of which you give a special example will represent a conic or a degenerate conic section. There is a long history of using "invariants" associated with the coefficients of this general equation to determine what one has. One discussion of this can be found here: http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/docs/reference/CRC-formulas/node28.html but you can also look up information about "discriminants." Scroll down for some treatment of this on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

Thailand's forensics chief told a court Friday that DNA samples taken from a garden hoe believed to have been used to kill a pair British backpackers last year does not belong to the two men currently on trial for their murder.
Dr. Pornthip Rojanasunand, the head of the Thai forensics institute, told judges that two DNA samples found on the bloodied hoe belonged to two males, but neither matched the defendants, reports the Guardian. The hoe was discovered near the bodies of Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, who were found dead on the Thai Gulf island of Koh Tao's popular Sairee Beach last September.
Burmese migrant workers Wai Phyo and Zaw Lin, both 22, admitted to the crime but subsequently recanted and claimed they were tortured into making a false confession. They insist they are scapegoats.
The chief judge in the trial, which is taking place on Koh Tao's neighboring island of Koh Samui, ordered DNA analysis on the hoe following a request from the defense team.
Police deny any mistreatment and insist their investigation was sound.

Troy Carpenter, Goldendale Observatory
Cross Time and Space With Goldendale Observatory's Troy Carpenter
If you're brave enough to climb a ladder and peer through a piece of glass, you can see millions of years into the past.
It's not time travel, but a telescope: the 24.5-inch reflector in the dome of the recently expanded Goldendale Observatory in Goldendale, Washington, where visitors can see light that started heading toward Earth 2.5 million years ago from the Andromeda Galaxy.
"That happens to be the most distant thing we regularly show people," says Goldendale Administrator Troy Carpenter.
He led the $5.4 million construction of a bigger observatory campus with new exhibits, landscaping and restrooms, more theater space and parking, with a new lot designed to better shield stargazers from the harsh glare of headlights. The public observatory is the most unique and modern of Washington State Parks' 13 interpretive centers.
Because of COVID-19, please take recommended safety precautions if you are planning a future trip, and always check the availability of services, events, amenities and other details before you go.

What's special about Goldendale?
"Goldendale is dark enough that you can see the whole Milky Way from horizon to horizon, something many visitors have never seen. We have 300 days of sun. Spring and summer, it's pretty much always clear. The winter is reliably cloudy, but some of the best shows we've ever done were on cloudy, rainy or snowy nights. People have a lot of fun in the classroom and we take them around to show them the equipment. People find the telescope interesting to look at, not just to look through."
What should we expect?
"I'm trying to make a mad scientist or James Bond villain atmosphere at the facility where it's more than just an observatory: fun, neat, unusual and high-tech. We encourage everybody to come, for everyone of all walks of life to be welcome. It's not a one-directional presentation. People can ask anything they want. And it leads to all kinds of fun and entertaining moments and we learn a lot. We're adding lots of technology. Instantly answering a question by putting graphics or animations on screen is very helpful."
How can visitors maximize their experience?
"Come on time for our shows or a little early to see the new exhibits. Dress warm and consider the weather and the moon phase — you can check our website for both. A full moon is the worst possible time to come and the worst thing for viewing the Milky Way, and it's not even a good time to see the moon."
Any advice for viewing the night sky?
"Get your phone away from your face because the light will cause you to lose your night vision."
Troy Carpenter and the main telescope before the expansion (photo by Tegra Stone Nuess for AAA Washington)
How unusual was the 2019 Mercury transit?
"Transits of planets are very rare events. We had a Venus transit in 2012. The next one will not be until 2117. Roughly 13 Mercury transits happen per century, so you can see more than one in your lifetime. In some ways it's more interesting than an eclipse to see a planet going across the sun. Unlike a Venus transit, Mercury is so tiny that you need magnification to see it." (Remember not to look directly at the sun without eye protection such as solar filters or eclipse-viewing glasses.)
What's your favorite celestial object?
"Orion Nebula. It's amazing-looking through a telescope. Space photographs are often the products of minutes or hours of time exposure, but the Orion Nebula is so bright that it actually does look like it does in the pictures. It's easy to find right under the famous Belt of Orion, and it's one of the nearest stellar nurseries — where baby stars are being born — and you can see baby stars through the telescope. It's 1,400 light years away. That sounds like a colossal distance but it's considered a nearby object, which helps to explain how big the Milky Way Galaxy is."

Light pollution maps online can help plan trips to dark sky destinations such as Brooks Memorial State Park northeast of Goldendale, the Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve and Craters of the Moon National Monument.

ULI Advisory Panel to Offer Recommendations for Resilient Development of St. Tammany Parish
By RealEstateRama -
WASHINGTON – December 03, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — Next week a panel of nationally renowned land use and urban planning experts will begin a five-day study of southcentral St. Tammany Parish, providing strategic advice for resilient redevelopment that addresses the vulnerability of the region's communities. The advisory services panel, convened by the Urban Land Institute (ULI), will provide recommendations that address the southcentral study area plan, watershed management study, and water quality improvement program.
The southcentral area of the Parish has been projected for future build out and the subject of several infrastructure planning studies. In addition to studies regarding the area's infrastructure needs, the Parish recently completed a watershed management study which sets forth findings and recommendations with respect to a storm water management program to improve water quality in impaired water bodies.
The panel is being sponsored by the St. Tammany Parish Government as well as Greater New Orleans, Inc., a regional economic development alliance serving the 10-parish region of Southeast Louisiana. Next week the panel will evaluate how the area can best position itself to ensure that the investment in multi-layered projects will be successful in protecting residents, preserving quality of life, protecting property values, and making the local community less vulnerable when disaster strikes.
The panel will examine a range of development issues, including:
The best program needed to provide the necessary storm water detention in the study area along with water quality improvements.
Cost effective options to address increased traffic, including both road improvements and alternate transportation options.
Development strategies that address the lack of affordable workforce housing, housing for an aging population, and the relocation of populations.
Methods for funding the construction and maintenance of regional ponds or other natural systems infrastructure.
Water quality improvements that the Parish should encourage property owners to incorporate in the construction of local infrastructure.
The feasibility of a program for water quality credits within the area and if the Parish should provide credits for the donation of property for development of a regional pond or other natural systems infrastructure.
Next week's panel will spend five days touring the subject study area as well as meeting with stakeholders and members of the local community. After carefully analyzing the area and interviewing up to 100 individuals, the panel will then spend two days framing their recommendations and drafting a report that will be presented to the public.
The panel assignment is part of a series of advisory panels being supported by a generous grant from The Kresge Foundation to advance the institute's pursuit of urban design and development practices that are more resilient and adaptable to the impact of climate change. With the support from The Kresge Foundation, ULI is leveraging the substantial expertise of its members to provide guidance on community building in a way that responds to inevitable climate change while helping to preserve the environment, boost economic prosperity, and foster a high quality of life.
Next week's advisory panel is chaired by Jim Heid, founder, UrbanGreen, Inc., Healdsburg, California. He is joined by Margaret Kaigh Doyle, senior manager, Gas Technology Institute, Skillman, New Jersey; Tracy Gabriel, associate director for neighborhood planning, District of Columbia Office of Planning, Washington, DC; Ladd Keith, planning lecturer and coordinator of sustainable built environments, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona; Alan Razak, principal, AthenianRazak LLC, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Michael Stern, principal, Strada, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Lindsey Willke, urban designer, HKS, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Now in its 68th year, the ULI advisory services panel program assembles experts in the fields of real estate and land use planning to participate on panels worldwide, offering recommendations for complex planning and development projects, programs and policies. Panels have developed more than 600 studies for a broad range of land uses, ranging from waterfront properties to inner-city retail.
According to Thomas Eitler, vice president of ULI's advisory services program, the strength of the program lies in ULI's unique ability to draw on the substantial knowledge of its 36,000-plus members, including land developers, engineers, public officials, academics, lenders, architects, planners and urban designers. "The independent views of the panelists bring a fresh perspective to the land use challenge," Eitler said. "The advisory services program is about offering creative, innovative approaches to community building."
Past sponsors of ULI advisory services panels include: federal, state and local government agencies; regional councils of government; chambers of commerce; redevelopment authorities; private developers and property owners; community development corporations; lenders; historic preservation groups; non-profit community groups; environmental organizations; and economic development agencies.
NOTE TO REPORTERS AND EDITORS: The ULI panel's recommendations will be presented at 9 a.m. on Friday, December 11 at the St. Tammany Parish Council Chambers located at 21490 Koop Drive, Mandeville, Louisiana. The event is open to the public.

Whitby Junction Deja Vu (2007)
Whitby Junction Deja-vu (2007)
Built in 1903, the Whitby Junction railway station was moved in 1970 to make way for a Government of Ontario Transit station. That same year it was re-opened as the Whitby Arts Inc. Station Gallery. In 2004 it was again moved to its present day location in Iroquois Park, Whitby. My project for Station Gallery focuses on the idea that one's sense of time and place is shaped and triggered by the buildings that inhabit specific places. I am interested in how this sense of place is affected when a building is moved to a new location. The main image above is a view facing south from the station taken by Marjorie G. Ruddy in 1935. I enlarged it to life size and suspended it in the gallery to hypothetically align image with the present view from the station. The photograph was printed on transparent material to allow both views to be seen simultaneously. This was supported by contemporary images that were taken at the current location and the two previous locations. The direction that each image was taken corresponded to it's orientation in the adjacent gallery. All of the images were printed (and projected) using the same transparent material.
Deja vu: the sensation of having experienced an exact situation more then once, sometimes called remembering the future.

Including songs recorded at both the first and second CentricWorship retreats, the EP marks the second release from the newly formed imprint of Centricity Publishing. The weeklong songwriting and worship retreats in the fall and summer provided a highly inspirational and creative setting for seasoned songwriters/worship leaders to craft new songs of worship.
"Our mission is to resource the Body of Christ with a continuous flow of fresh and powerful songs that inspire worship," says Wisdom Moon, Resource & Engagement Manager for CentricWorship. "The retreats truly do provide an opportunity for songwriters to break away from the daily grind, press into the Lord and write from an honest place of worship."
The writers invited to the CentricWorship retreats form an impressive band of troubadours, having written songs recorded by some of today's most recognized Christian artists and songs regularly used by thousands of churches around the world. "The creative talent that the Lord has given these songwriters is tremendous," says Steve Rice, VP of Centricity Publishing and founder of CentricWorship. "It continues to amaze me that they can begin the day with prayer and an instrument, and by dinner we are all singing an extraordinary song that didn't exist only a few hours earlier. And very possibly a song that will travel to church congregations around the world! It blows me away that we can somehow be involved in that part of the Lord's work."
Rice, who founded CentricWorship as a label imprint for Centricity Publishing this year, taps into a unique songwriting model that takes the writer out of the Nashville-standard writing room and places them in a collaborative environment where worship comes first, and writing second. Between the two retreats held thus far, one in the mountains of the Western U.S. and the other in the rural Southeast, more than 50 songs were written and 25 recorded with some of today's top studio and touring musicians.
This collection of songs follows CentricWorship's rootsy first offering, All The Saints: Live from the CentricWorship Retreat, No. 1, which featured some of the same writers, and the same producer, Michael Farren (Pocket Full of Rocks, writer of the popular worship song, "Let It Rain" and the title track "Come Alive (Dry Bones)").
COME ALIVE EP features worship leaders BJ Putnam, Lauren Daigle, Henry Seeley (Planet Shakers), Jonathan Lee, and Corey Voss, and contains songs written by some of The Church's best composers including, Jared Anderson (Desperation Band, writer of "Great I Am"), Mia Fieldes (recorded by Hillsong, Matt Maher, Kari Jobe, Paul Baloche), Israel Houghton (writer of "Friend of God"), Dustin Smith (writer of "Rushing Waters"), Seth Mosley (recorded by Michael W. Smith, MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, Newsboys, Francesca Battistelli), and others.

Music Review: Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa – 'Black Coffee'
Jon Sobel January 2, 2018	Comments Off on Music Review: Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa – 'Black Coffee' 849 Views
Black Coffee, the new album from powerhouse singer Beth Hart and blues-rock guitarist extraordinaire Joe Bonamassa is all about hard-hitting, rocking soul music. A collection of (mostly) not-so-familiar songs by familiar artists, its earthy, electrified reinventions breathe new life into old numbers while giving the guitarist and the singer plenty of room to show off, all within icy-tight arrangements.
A fiery no-holds-barred take on Edgar Winter's "Give It Everything You Got" opens the album. A clawing guitar riff introduces a soul barrage fueled by steely horns and glistening backing vocals. Equally good is Etta James' "Damn Your Eyes," with Hart's bluesy belt dripping with passion.
The title track, originally by Ike and Tina Turner and covered by Humble Pie in the 1970s, wasn't much of a song to begin with, and the ensemble here piles on the sound and fury to mostly empty effect. It's one of the few places where the album fails to connect solidly. On the other hand, it provides a nice set-up for one of the most surprising and effective tracks, "Lullaby of the Leaves." Written for Broadway in the early 1930s and recorded beautifully by Ella Fitzgerald in 1964, the ballad moves Hart into smoky torch-song territory, her low velvety tones choked with sublimated pain. It then grows into a dramatic rock tour-de-force as Bonamassa delivers a guitar solo over a rhythmic development reminiscent of Cream's "Tales of Brave Ulysses."
"Why Don't You Do It Right" goes back almost as far. A hit for Peggy Lee in 1941, it re-emerges swinging like a Joe Jackson revival amid swirls of blues-rock guitar from Bonamassa, who seems even more inspired than usual. Then – why not? – it's polka time, and on the horn-driven "Saved," originally done by LaVern Baker, all the musicians sound like they're having the kind of delirious fun Janis Joplin had on her earliest recordings.
The album's best-known song, "Sittin' on Top of the World," gets a smooth Chicago-blues interpretation and more gravitas than it can bear. A heavy arrangement doesn't do much for a second LaVern Baker tune, "Soul on Fire." But on Lucinda Williams' "Joy," Hart sings her heart out over an electronic-style track. The arrangement brushes a patina of prog-rock over Williams' trademark minimalism. Joyful it's not – and it's just right for the song.
The album closes with the obscure "Addicted," copped from Austrian electronic trio Waldeck and given a dark, pop-electronic sheen. Muted vocals from Hart suggest Adele at her grimmest. It's a weird ending to an album loaded with brilliant energy and musicianship and a fair number of surprises. Together these 10 tracks reinforce Bonamassa's versatility and Hart's status as one of our era's supreme blueswomen. They're a match made someplace pretty darned close to heaven.
Black Coffee, out January 26, 2018, is available now for pre-order.

ABC August News: Upcoming walking tour, AHO, Portland, & more
(Sent on August 21st, 2020.)
On Saturday, September 12th, at 2pm, we will be having a Pro-Housing Walking Tour of Cambridgeport and Riverside neighborhoods. We'll explore the built environment and talk about the history of housing construction in the area. RSVP here -- for safety, we are limiting the size of the group and requiring masks for all attendees. We hope you can join us!
Good news locally for affordable housing...
The Affordable Housing Overlay (2020 version) moved forward after a full evening of (largely supportive) public comment July 8th, a favorable August 4th recommendation from the Planning Board, and a shorter-than-expected ordeal before the Ordinance Committee on August 19th.
At that meeting, only one amendment (favoring ground-floor retail in commercial districts) passed, while others (a middle-income housing requirement, stricter post-implementation review requirements, and stricter facade design requirements) failed. The favorable recommendation from the Committee had 6 councilors in favor, 1 opposed (Carlone), 1 "present" (Nolan), and 1 absent.
The zoning reform next goes before the full Council on September 14th, when it is expected to be voted on to a second reading. The second reading will likely occur on October 5th, when it will need 6 votes to take effect. A huge thank you to all the councilors who have supported it this far, and to everyone who has spoken up for it along the way! We're counting down the days until the finish line.
Just-A-Start Corporation received approvals from both the Planning Board and the BZA for 101 new units of affordable housing to be built in the parking lot of their existing apartment building near Alewife Station.
The planned 5-year, 2-phase Rindge Commons project will construct two buildings, 4-6 stories, which will also include space for JAS job training programs and Cambridge School Department pre-K classrooms. The project will increase the number of apartments on the site by 37% -- including the site's first 3-bedroom units -- while reducing parking capacity by about 20%.
After the Planning Board gave a favorable recommendation by a 7-1 vote, the Board of Zoning Appeals voted 4-0 (with 1 abstention) to grant a comprehensive permit, allowing the project to move on toward construction.
Beyond Cambridge...
After extensive debate, Portland, Oregon passed the Residential Infill Project, described as the "most pro-housing reform to low-density zones in US history". The city council approved zoning changes that will allow four-unit buildings anywhere in the city -- and six units if half of them are affordable. Parking minimums have been removed from a majority of the city and floor-area ratios increased.
An especially encouraging aspect is that, during 6 years of discussion, the proposal gained support as its scope became broader and more ambitious.
The Boston Globe has a new Ideas piece out today: "Housing will test white support for Black lives". ABC founder Jesse Kanson-Benanav is quoted, as well as former City Council candidate Adriane Musgrave and board members of Abundant Housing Massachusetts. Check it out!
The President put aside his dog whistle and took up a bullhorn to announce his rollback of the Obama-era Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule. AFFH helped to combat segregation and enforce the Fair Housing Act of 1968, and is just one of many housing policies at stake in this November's election. Read YIMBY Action's unpacking of Trump's racist tweets, and of Biden's housing platform, here.
The Massachusetts state primary election is coming up on September 1st, and the general election will happen on November 3rd. Cambridge has opened a ballot drop box for mail-in ballots at 51 Inman St. Whether you vote by mail, or vote in person early, or vote on election day, please VOTE!

Q: TikZ - vary node positioning depending on shape size / anchors My general question would be how to ensure a minimum x distance between the east anchor of one shape and the west anchor of another (assume the shapes are y-aligned if it helps), or similarly a minimum y distance between north/south anchors.
My more particular need is for a flowchart where text boxes (rectangles) can have fairly wide variation in text content, and I wish the spacing between them to be no less than some value, by pushing around the central nodes if needed. The borders of the rectangles themselves have a few width options but the problem is that the (central) node position ignores how wide the rectangle is, which can cause overlapping of rectangles (and mess up the arrows between them too).
TikZ: position a node depending on width of text? might hint to a solution for my particular need by calling pgf to measure the size of the text but (1) I failed to tailor it to my needs, (2) it seems to work only for simple text labels (not general "measure your anchor position" stuff, and not even automatic text flow measurement), and (3) it is from 2011 so maybe TikZ has changed since.
Example: (node distance options fairly irrelevant to the behavior at hand, but it makes the problem appear for more realistic text lengths)
