Jazzercise Is Still Going Strong, and My Mom Is Its Best Instructor
If you've ever congregated at the altar of SoulCycle or danced the ritual Zumba, thank Jazzercise, a pioneer of group fitness. Five decades after its first high kick, I sat down with one longtime priestess, who also happens to be my mother.

One half-century ago, in 1969, a Northwestern graduate and professional dancer by the name of Judi Sheppard Missett taught a dance class just outside Chicago. She noticed a pattern of inconsistent attendance — dancers would attend a handful of classes at a time and then drop out. This concerned Missett, who began asking them why. They told her they didn't want to be dancers, they wanted to look like dancers and were interested in her class as a workout. So Missett did something truly brazen: She pivoted to dance aerobics, eventually assembling the portmanteau of jazz (as in dance) and exercise (as in exercise) in an effort to brand the experience. Jazzercise was born.
Seventeen years later, a marketing administrator and frequent Jazzerciser in Cleveland, with eyes the color of molten caramel, gave birth to her first son and decided to quit her office job in favor of a more flexible schedule. She trained for certification as a Jazzercise instructor and then purchased her own franchise, which she taught in the evenings at a Catholic school near her house. As her business grew, so did her family.
Not a decade later she gave birth to her fourth child, a perfect son, who would grow up to write the very article you are reading. The double helix of his DNA is fused together by the power of jazz exercise — every cell in his body vibrates to the rhythm of today's pop hits. The Kilbanes are, and have always been, a Jazzercise family.
In high school, when people called our house, they were confused to be met with a bewilderingly long answering-machine greeting that informed them of every Jazzercise class available on Cleveland's west side that month. Also, the Kilbanes are not home, please leave a message. This monologue was recorded every month by my mother, Karen Kilbane, who has been operating one of the globe's most profitable Jazzercise franchises (out of about 8,500) for 33 years.
My mom is the best person in the world. In addition to driving me to school, picking me up, helping me pack my swim bag, finding my goggles when I lost them, and emotionally cultivating three other siblings and one husband, my mom taught Jazzercise. Every two months or so, Jazzercise HQ would choreograph and record new routines, and then mail out VHS (and later, DVD) recordings of the updated classes, which my mom would study and learn anywhere and everywhere there was open space in our home. On any given day, I would walk in on my mom doing sumo lunges in the kitchen, using our oven's smooth, obsidian surface as a studio mirror.
"There's nothing to eat!" I'd say, staring at a loaded cupboard of assorted groceries, looking for potato chips.
My mom, mid-lunge: "There's some peanut butter in there, plus some celery in the fridge."
This did not sound nearly as appetizing as complaining, so I would just walk into another room and complain there. My mom's music would continue for a little bit, and then it would stop, and the door would open and close, and she'd be on her way to teach an evening class.
Today my mom teaches in rented gym spaces around the suburb where I grew up — usually in middle schools or at a squat and unremarkable Cleveland Clinic building known only to us as the "Wellness Center." The center is comprised of a bleak pair of hallways stacked on top of each other, ending in an enormous wooden gym that smells like it has been there for 100 years. I don't know what can be found at the Wellness Center — as I have never in my life been curious enough to find out — other than Jazzercise, a few times a day.
My mom sets up her equipment, talks to the early arrivals, and then proceeds to blow the fucking roof off this Cleveland gym, with a devastating combination of low-impact calisthenics and the music of Ed Sheeran.
At home, my mom is pleasant. Onstage, she is electric. Her tiny, sinewy frame glides across the stage in the most balletic grapevine you have ever seen. Her isolated shoulder rolls send waves of energy pulsating through a group of 25 people, ages 31 to 94. She was trained to converse with the class during the workout, asking specific questions that require participants to engage in breathless conversation, which appears to have the twofold benefit of making you feel loved and cared for while also perhaps enhancing your respiratory system. Everybody does feel loved, and everybody is watching her intently, feeding off of her charge. My mom has done this approximately twice a day for over three decades. She only cancels classes for inclement weather. Otherwise, the show goes on.
Each Jazzercise class is comprised of a customizable series of routines that are disseminated from the company's Southern California nucleus to the rest of the world. The routines are written out in a kind of choreo-fitness code that is nearly impossible to understand unless you speak fluent Jazzercise. For example: "(de)nyy 4x (ham/bk str AST flat/round bk)" indicates a hamstring/back stretch, reaching forward with a flat back and then rounding up to stretch the lower back and hamstrings, commencing as soon as Dua Lipa is done singing "I cannot denyyyy" (as in, she cannot deny that this love has no ceiling) in the Top 40 song "Electricity."
Because a song cannot be choreographed before it is released to the public, there's often a months-long delay between when a track is arguably most popular and when it arrives at the gym where my mother teaches class. When Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" came out, my mom had just found out about "No Tears Left to Cry," and so on and so forth.
In 1992, Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" topped the Billboard charts and Jazzercise, LLC, reported its first financial loss in more than 20 years: The exploding boutique-fitness market of the early '90s had gashed class attendance rates, and the company bled some half a million dollars. But the next year (incidentally, also the year of my birth), it was on the rise again, and by 2000, yearly revenue was up to about $50 million. Revenue doubled by 2008, Jazzercise's most profitable year to date, but has mostly plateaued, grossing between $94 and $100 million each year since. This is a fraction of the size of some Jazzercise competitors: In 2012, Zumba's valuation was reported to be more than $500 million, and CrossFit's brand generates $4 billion annually. But it proves a valuable point: In 2019, Jazzercise is still high-kicking.
In the past few decades, boutique fitness has been embraced, if not squeezed into an eye-popping bear hug, by the suburbs of greater Cleveland. My mom's disdain for Zumba is quiet but intense: Despite her expertise, she continues to pronounce the nation's hottest dance-based workout as "Zuhm-ba" instead of the correct "Zoomba," out of contempt. Still, business for her has been "mostly steady," even though a Pure Barre and an Orangetheory Fitness have both opened dangerously close to her domain. She can't think of a time when Big Fitness knocked at the door of her customer base, mostly women age 40 and up.
Oh, wait, yes she can: when Curves launched in the mid-'90s.
Within a few years, Curves, a women-only gym that popularized the 30-minute workout, had opened shop in a strip mall on the west side of Cleveland, plopped between Kinko's and Omaha Steaks. Google photos reveal a miserably lit room scattered with various forms of workout equipment and "Curves" scrawled on the wall in violet. The chain was an enormous success when it originally launched (although my mom is not sure why).
In 2004, the fitness public became aware of Curves founder Gary Heavin's perspective on abortion. (His perspective was that he opposed it.) "I like Curves a lot, but I love women's rights more," one Bay Area woman told the San Francisco Chronicle. By 2014, more than half of Curves franchises had reportedly closed as the company failed to weather the fitness boom. In Cleveland, it appears some Curves gyms still exist, despite my mom confidently informing me they had "died out." Her business has triumphed over Curves.
In case you are wondering: My mom loves women. Owning one of the top-performing Jazzercise franchises across a small cluster of Cleveland suburbs means attaining an Oprah-like mythological status, with women crawling out of the woodwork to have an audience with her. As a result, my siblings and I hate to accompany my mom in public because it always means she will run into somebody she knows and engage in a 16-hour conversation with them.
Jazzercise, for my mom and everybody who gathers in a school gym after sundown, has always been a kind of community. When she started attending Jazzercise while still working full-time, the classes were wildly popular, often with a waiting list for open spots.
"In the '80s, there were two hot franchises," Missett says. "There was Domino's Pizza, and there was Jazzercise."
Attending Jazzercise also restored my mom's confidence after it was demolition-style razed by an instructor who told her early on that she did not have what it took to enter the training program. If I have not been clear enough, my mother is not perfect, but she is pretty close and can only be faulted for mispronouncing certain words.
Eventually, she was accepted as a trainee, and she would go on to become my mom. So if you're reading this, and you were a Jazzercise instructor in the mid-'80s in Cleveland, Ohio, and you met one of God's messengers on earth, and her name was Karen Kilbane, and you impeded her journey to become one of the most fabulous Jazzercise instructors on the planet? You know who you are, and you are a jerk.
In 1968, the year before Jazzercise was founded, an Air Force doctor named Kenneth Cooper coined the term "aerobics" in his book of the same name. Prior to Cooper, exercise was a thing that people knew to be good but did not entirely understand. Cooper told us why: Vigorous exercise strengthened the cardiovascular system, making us healthier and other things. His findings ignited a national frenzy. The percentage of Americans who exercise regularly jumped from 24 percent in 1961 to 50 percent after 1968. (Today, 53 percent of Americans are doing aerobic exercise.)
Missett was mostly unaware of this. "I was just doing my passion!" she insists. And her passion was dance fitness.

Now Jazzercise marches onward into a new fitness-obsessed market. It marches into the wellness economy. It marches into Instagram. And this month, it enters a core-strengthening moonwalk backwards into video-on-demand, a market trend that started with Jane Fonda in the '80s and has returned with Peloton and Mirror classes.
Meanwhile, my mom, age 63, is slowing down. She manages the most classes she has ever managed — 22 a week! — but is looking to retire in the next few years, which means her franchise will be handed to somebody else. She doesn't know who that is. But she becomes the most emphatic she has ever been about anything when she tells me, gravely, that she is concerned about the future of her business, and so I write down everything she says, exactly as she says it:
"Now, I think, Jazzercise wants to screen your [instructor] candidates, and they want somebody who is ready to be up on the stage. They want perfection when they watch them move. It's made it difficult for me to find new instructors, and I haven't been able to get them through the screening process. It seems like they want fitness professionals, and I don't disagree with that. But I believe that they're looking for perfection with these video screenings. You can't see the feeling in the class, the community. I find that lacking. It's not just about sharp movement. It's about people."
Then: "I've invested 33 years of my life in this business, and I want it to go on. And finding the right person to take it over is an important part of what I've invested all of these years. The right person to take over, and the right way for me to think of this, is to make it so our classes don't know I'm gone. I might still teach there for a little bit, but the right way to leave is to make it so people don't realize I've left."
And with all due respect, I think that is impossible.

The mustache had its moment. Maybe someday it will return, but that will probably a while.
Henry Cavill's mustache was among the many topics discussed during the actor's interview with GQ Germany, but those of you who were hoping that he might regrow the mustache at some point will be disappointed. Mission: Impossible - Fallout wasn't the first time Cavill had facial hair in a role, but it was definitely the most infamous time, to the point that months after Fallout had been released in theaters and even longer since Cavill shaved, Paramount Pictures made a charitable donation in honor of the mustache. Few mustaches in history have wielded such power, so perhaps Cavill is wise to make sure it doesn't rise again by staying clean shaven.
The decision for Henry Cavill to grow a mustache for the role of August Walker in Mission: Impossible - Fallout wasn't given a lot of thought, but the facial hair would have enormous ramifications for the actor on Justice League. Because Justice League's reshoots coincided with when Fallout was still shooting, Cavill was unable to shave his mustache when he reprised Superman. As a result, the mustache had to be CGI'd out for numerous scenes in Justice League's final cut, and the end result… did not look great, to put it lightly. Cavill acknowledged that had he known what was going to happen with Justice League, he would have made a "difference choice" with his Fallout look.
But even beyond how Henry Cavill's mustache affected Justice League, a.k.a. Mustachgate, plenty of people had fun with the facial hair online for months, to the point that it became meme worthy. Even HBO continued the teasing long after the fact. Nevertheless, this was just a brief period of amusement, and Mustachegate 2.0 is on indefinite hiatus. However, that's not to say that all is lost.
It was announced last week that Christopher McQuarrie is returning to write and direct two more Mission: Impossible movies, and he's reportedly considered bringing back Henry Cavill and Alec Baldwin to reprise August Walker and Alan Hunley, respectively, for flashbacks. If that ends up happening, then perhaps Cavill will be required to grow back that mustache, though it would be for a shorter amount of time. Hey, it's better than nothing, right?
You can see Henry Cavill next in the upcoming Netflix series The Witcher, and stay tuned to CinemaBlend for more updates on the actor's career. In the meantime, look through our 2019 release schedule to learn what movies are being released in theaters later this year.

Home Launches SpaceX launches Dragon capsule to ISS with 'mighty mice,' beer barley aboard
SpaceX launches Dragon capsule to ISS with 'mighty mice,' beer barley aboard
Selected by Science and Tech
The Falcon 9 before launch Thursday
SpaceX successfully sent all sorts of science on its way to the International Space Station on Thursday. A new Falcon 9 booster lifted a Dragon capsule, carrying several scientific payloads and a handful of CubeSats for NASA, direct to the ISS, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
Blastoff was initially set for Wednesday but got delayed nearly 24 hours by high-altitude winds and choppy seas that could have affected the droneship landing pad in the Atlantic Ocean.
The rocket lifted off just before 12:30 p.m. ET (9:30 a.m. PT). Dragon's trip to the ISS will take three days, with an arrival of Dec. 8.
The mission, known as CRS-19, is the 19th resupply voyage for SpaceX and the third time this particular Dragon capsule is headed to space.
The Falcon 9 booster landed on the droneship Of Course I Still Love You about eight minutes after launch to be reused in subsequent missions by SpaceX, while the Dragon capsule starts its journey to the ISS. SpaceX's previous launch knocked down two more recycling milestones, including reusing a Falcon 9 booster and sticking the landing for a fourth time. That landing took place on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship and the same capture is expected during this mission.
A number of intriguing experiments are headed to the ISS on this resupply mission. The Japanese space agency, JAXA, is sending up a new, high-resolution imager to study Earth's surface and identify different materials, and brewing giant Anheuser-Busch InBev will be testing how microgravity affects barley malting. Forty mice are also in for the ride of their lives, as researchers aim to better understand how bones and muscles are affected by prolonged time in space.
Additional experiments will assess the way fire spreads in space and a new way to store robots that can detect leaks on the outside of the ISS. After the last Sherlock Holmes-esque mystery — "Where did the hole in the space station come from?" — that sounds like a necessary upgrade.
Watch mice adapt to microgravity aboard the International…

Jirama ( Jiro sy rano malagasy) is a state-owned electric utility and water services company in Madagascar.

History

The Jirama was established on 17 October 1975 when the Société Malagasy des Eaux et Electricité and the Société des Energies de Madagascar merged. Up until 1999, it was the only state-owned electricity company of the country. After 1999, the Jirama maintained its monopoly on transportation and distribution networks.

In 2007, when Antananrivo's Mayor Andry Rajoelina took office, the city's treasury had a debt of 8.2 billion Malagasy Ariary (approximately 4.6 million U.S. dollars). On 4 January 2008, because of unpaid debts to the Jirama, the city of Antananarivo was hit by a general water cutoff and brownouts of the city's street lights. After an audit, it was found that the Jirama owed about the same amount of money to the city, and the sanction on the city's population was relieved.

In 2008, thanks to the launch of a new thermal power plant in Mandroseza, the Jirama was able to service 2,000 additional consumers in Antananarivo. In June 2009, Désiré Rasidy was named new CEO of the Jirama. In 2012, thanks to the financing of the French Development Agency, the Jirama launched the fuel oil power plant constructed by British Broad Crown that aimed at ending power shortages for good in Mahajanga.

According to an IMF report published in March 2018, the Jirama's financial difficulties are a major burden for the Malagasy economy. In June 2018, the Jirama was considering a rehabilitation of its electricity distribution network.

Activities

Headquartered in Antananarivo, the Jirama serves 340,000 clients for electricity in 114 localities and 65 water distribution centres. The Jirama is 100% owned by the government of Madagascar.

Plants
18 MW Solar-hybride central at Tanambao Verrerie, Toamasina (since 2021)
 8,4 MW Antelomita Hydroelectric Power Station at Anjeva Gara
91 MW Andekaleka Hydroelectric Power Station

← Review: How To Watch Football – 52 Rules for Understanding the Beautiful Game, On and Off the Pitch by Tifo
Latics' late show rescues a point – Cardiff City 1 Wigan Athletic 1 →
Latics show signs of improvement – Luton Town 1 Wigan Athletic 1
Posted on January 8, 2023 by ianhaspinall
Wigan Athletic go into the FA Cup fourth round draw after a hard fought 1-1 draw at Luton Town.
Latics went in front on 17 minutes when Tom Naylor finished from close range from Curtis Tilt's pass.
In added time in the first half the Hatters equalised when Harry Connick headed home from a Carlton Morris cross.
The hosts dominated possession in the second half but the visitors went closest to breaking the deadlock when Naylor's header was well saved by Ethan Horvath and in added time Naylor had a header controversially disallowed.
The draw for the fourth round will take place on Sunday at 4.05pm and the replay will take place on Tuesday 17th January.
Kolo Toure made three changes to the team which was defeated by Hull City with Ben Amos, Rarmani Edmonds-Green and Tom Naylor coming into the starting line up.
It was a cagey opening to the game, James McClean was first to try his luck from distance but his strike flew wide of the target.
Cauley Woodrow then had an opportunity for the hosts when he got on the end of a cross from the right hand side, but the effort was comfortably saved by Ben Amos.
Latics went ahead in the 17th minute after some good pressure. Callum Lang's header was denied by Horvath before the ball came out to Tilt who found Naylor and the midfielder turned the ball home from close range.
Latics were now on top and causing plenty of problems for the hosts. But Luton began to respond towards the end of the half and Cornick curled an effort narrowly wide of Amos' left-hand post.
The visitors then almost doubled their lead as Ashley Fletcher drilled an effort towards goal, but the USA international Horvath got down well to his left to push the ball away.
Just when it looked like Latics would go into the break ahead, Luton equalised when Morris dinked the ball across to Cornick who rose highest to head past Amos and into the far corner.
Latics had an early chance at the start of the second half when Fletcher drilled a ball across to Lang to strike on the volley but he couldn't connect properly as the ball flew wide of the target.
The hosts then enjoyed a sustained period of possession and forced a series of corners but Latics held firm. Whatmough was much improved after an off-day against Hull and made numerous vital defensive blocks and clearances.
Both sides then made numerous substitutions in an attempt to gain control but these only managed to disrupt the flow of the game.
Gradually substitutes Will Keane and Thelo Aasgaard started to make an impact and Lang was a little unlucky when he had a goal disallowed for a challenge on Horvath.
Aasgaard nearly repeated his match winner from the league fixture at Luton earlier in the season, when cutting inside, this time his strike was more central and Horvath saved well low down.
In added time Latics had two huge opportunities to seal the tie.
Naylor first went close to putting Latics ahead when his looping header from a Power free-kick nearly found the top corner but his effort was superbly saved by Luton keeper.
From the resulting corner, Latics thought they had their winner. McClean's in-swinging corner was met by Naylor's header which hit the back of the net but play was controversially pulled back either for a foul on the goalkeeper or an offside decision.
It was a frustrating ending for Latics who had performed so much better than in recent weeks.
Latics enjoyed an FA Cup respite from their Championship troubles. They showed good character and determination to get a result at Luton who are seventh in the Championship table. In fact they might won the tie after a late attacking flurry and a marginal offside/foul call.
They had defended well throughout with a back three of Whatmough, Tilt and Edmonds-Green and generally they looked more solid than in previous weeks.
Tom Naylor had one of his best games in a Latics shirt and could easily have scored a hat-trick of headers with better luck.
These are still tentative steps for new manager Toure, but the players had showed a positive response to the recent dreadful results.
They will need to continue that improvement if they're to get a good result in a crucial relegation clash at Cardiff City next Saturday.
Squad strengthening
Despite the improved display at Luton, Latics will need to bring in new players to strengthen the squad after the departures of Nathan Broadhead and Graeme Shinnie. Both players were well regarded by the Latics fans and it is essential that they are replaced with players of similar, if not better quality.
It is clear the club urgently need reinforcements in most areas and most recently they have been linked with former England defender Steven Caulker who is currently playing in Turkey and Nottingham Forest duo Harry Toffolo and Jack Colback.
Speaking afterwards, Toure said: "It was a positive performance.
"The boys played really well and in the first half, I thought we controlled the game and were the better team, but gave away a cheap goal.
"In the second half, Luton played well but we responded well and had to change our shape to stop them and put fresh legs into the game.
"The boys defended for their lives and everyone worked as a team. The mentality was unbelievable, and in the last 15 minutes we were on top, and thought we had won it in the last minute, but sadly it was disallowed.
"We want to fight in every game, and we want to make sure that if any team wants to beat us, they have to work really hard."
The Latics manager is now looking forward to work on the training field.
"We now have time to work on the training field (with the week break between games) and do some specific work," he said.
"We're looking forward to that with focus on Cardiff."

How Puma has Ridden Celebrity Partnerships to Success
Athletic retailer Puma is making waves with celebrity endorsements in its already powerful brand which is topping the charts in sales and increased popularity. The company has recently announced its quarterly report and the earnings show a significant increase or forty seven percent, which brings their pre-tax earnings total to sixty six million. This figure exceeds the forecasts for the year and the German retail company is thrilled with their current success.
What is the driver for Puma's current surge in sales?
It is obvious that there are a few new elements that are responsible for the rise in popularity and sales of Puma brand products. New partnerships that have been formed with Usain Bolt and singer Rihanna offer the endorsements that are stimulating a greater interest in the brand and causing an increase in sales. Puma execs do attribute their new and profitable partnerships to their recent success.
The company's campaigns includes a specific theme and the stars they've partnered with are serving as powerful influencers who send the message of empowerment which is a timely theme at this point in the development of our nation and the changes which have recently been taking place with the political climate and new elections of officials. The theme strikes a chord that resonates with the public and Rihanna as brand ambassador is the perfect representative.
She's been on board with Puma in this capacity since 2014 and is still going strong, representing her Fenty x Puma collection. This line had its launch this September and Rihanna presented it herself at Paris Fashion Week.
Partnering with influencers is the new trend in retail sales marketing
This is believed to be the best strategy that the company has employed as their representative has a very large fan base and followers are taking not of the choices that the star is making so they can emulate her down to the detail. The use of influencers is becoming more widespread throughout the retail marketing arena. Most major fashion retailers are seeing positive results from the combination of traditional marketing strategies and the use of major celebrities to wear their new dedicated lines.
Influencers do promote the products verbally, but just as importantly, they are sporting them a a part of their chosen attire and this appears to have an even greater impact on fans who clamor to find the latest fashions that their beloved celebrities have been seen wearing. It's a brilliant move on the part of advertisers and it's beginning to catch on as a new means of reaching potential buyers with the message that they want to send, yet in a more understated way that seems to have a tremendous psychological effect. it's all good and it's driving sales though the roof.
Confidence and poise
Rihanna is a good choice for reaching women with the message of empowerment. This powerful celebrity has built an amazing career for herself and she wears her new Puma collection well. Along the same lines, Puma has also launched their new "Do You" campaign in which they strategically aligned with Cara Delevigne for the purpose of further boosting female confidence world wide. Thematically, Puma is on the right track because the brand and the logo itself are powerful symbols that lennd themselves easily to the notion of empowerment.
Brand evolution
More and more the larger retail companies are realizing that they must change with the times and rise to the challenge of meeting the needs of a customer base that is constantly undergoing changes in demographics and demands. They are realizing the value of partnering with the most compatible characters to promote their new product lines which are aimed at certain segments of the population, particularly those with the largest numbers who are the most likely to become loyal customers.
Other companies showing success with influencers
Puma hasn't cornered the market on using this approach to marketing. We see the tremendous success that Nike has had with its endorsements by popular athletes such as Paul George, LeBron James and four or five others who have achieved success in the game. This method of advertising is serving as an inspiration for new models that are made specifically to highlight the achievements and traits of their representatives. This strategy not only promotes the products with remarkable effectiveness, it allows companies to develop new lines and expand them to reach an even greater number of consumers. Meeting consumers with the features that they show the greatest interest in is the name of the game for retailers. This is a part of how companies are changing to meet the ever evolving demands of consumers.
The impact of celebrity collaboration
Collaborations with celebrities as influencers allows each brand to reinvent their product lines and infuse fresh and sought after features. As in Puma's work with Rihanna, we're seeing how the products are incorporating new elements into the products that the representative can showcawse and it's working for stimulating a greater interest with the masses. Rihanna isn't the only celebrity influencer joining Puma's team. Successful and popular in his Olympic performance, Usain Bolt has also made a big contribution to the popularity of the Puma line with running shoes and clothing lines dedicated to sparking interest with fans of the popular runner.
Using celebs as spokesmen and women as well as influencers have been teh best moves that retail companies could have possibly made. Of course, it is vital to select the right celebrities who can realistically promote the intended theme of the campaign for each product line, but this is the exciting part. It encourages consumers who once waited for items to come on sale to go out and purchase them at full price, which has been a tremendous boon for the companies as reflected on their quarterly revenue reports.
Puma has joined the ranks and is enjoying the success shared by other popular retailers who realize the value of celebrity partnerships. They're better able to assess what the consumers want and are fully empowered within themselves, to expand their product lines in order to please a voracious crowd of customers who are looking for new products to emulate their idols. It's a win win situation for everybody involved.

80s Hall of Fame 80s Music
Billy Idol (born William Michael Albert Broad, 30 November 1955 in Middlesex) is an English rock musician.
He first achieved fame in the punk rock era, then embarked on a successful solo career, aided by a series of stylish music videos, making him one of the first MTV stars. He has continued to make music, but has yet to recapture the levels of fame he enjoyed in the 1980s.
The name Billy Idol was inspired by a school teacher's description of Broad as "idle."[1]
Billy Idol lived in Worthing, England before attending Sussex University for only one year before joining the Bromley Contingent of s** Pistols fans. Idol first joined the punk rock band Siouxsie & the Banshees (before the band had decided on a name) in 1976, but soon quit and joined Chelsea in 1977 as a guitarist. However, he and Chelsea bandmate Tony James soon quit that group and co-founded Generation X, with Idol switching from guitar to lead singer.
Generation X signed to Chrysalis Records and released three albums before breaking up. Idol moved to New York and began working as a solo artist and working with Steve Stevens, soon becoming an MTV staple with "White Wedding" and "Dancing with Myself", the latter of which had originally been recorded with Generation X.
In 1983, in an effort to introduce Idol to American audiences not yet as familiar with him as those in England, "Dancing With Myself" was released in the U.S. in conjunction with a music-video (directed by Tobe Hooper, and produced by Jeffrey Abelson) that played in heavy rotation on MTV for six months. That video, in fact, sparked a whole new era of feature film directors trying their hand at music videos. Along with "White Wedding," the "Dancing With Myself" video helped make Idol a household name in America.

Download the Web Content Calculator (xls, 50Kb) to help plan the time & effort you need to write, migrate and review online content. (Yes, it's virus free, I checked.) A short video about how it works, is below.
I have been writing, migrating & QAing web content for more years than I care to remember - usually as part of big CMS implementations.
"Shane! We need to write 100 pages of brand new content & migrate 500 existing pages into the CMS. How long will that take?
"Shane! We have an absolute maximum of 20 days to produce & migrate all content. How many pages can we handle in that time?"
Neither of those is so easy to answer. There are a lot of dependencies. But after a long time of throwing guesstimes around, I decided to get a bit scientific.
Writing ... 5 hours to write 1 page of newly commissioned content of about 500-700 words through first draft, second draft, client review & final editing.
Migration ... 20 minutes to cut-n-paste a web page into CMS & apply all formatting, insert links, images, tables, metadata, etc.
QA ... 4 minutes to review & correct any final errors once a page is online.
Bear in mind, these are averages. Some pages take a lot more time and some take a lot less time. But on average, those are the times I now go with.
Of course, those estimates can be lowered if content is not 'completely new' but is being repurposed from some other source, e.g. brochure content being republished online.
The most surprising and least accepted figure is the 5 hours for writing a page of new content.
Pretty much every client I have ever worked rejects that figure out of hand. They're usually thinking along the lines of 2 hours per page. Yet in reality, it often takes 6 hours or maybe even 7 hours for really good quality output.
In fairness to them, I guess we all had to learn the hard way that great content is incredibly labour intensive.
An ex-colleague of mine and I also tried to webify it a few years back. We made a bit of progress and did some nice mock-ups - but then other projects took over, he left and it got lost. Oh well.
No matter. In many ways I actually think it works better in Excel as it can be so easily 'brutalised' into whatever shape you want. That's flexibility is handy.
I admit it is far from perfect and you probably disagree with its estimates. But sometimes all you really need are approximations for planning project activity - and that's what it delivers.
Enter the number of pages you need to produce. The spreadsheet will then calculate how long they will take to complete in man-days.
Alternatively, enter the number of man-days you have available. Excel will then tell you how many pages you can produce in that time.

Smooth Start™ Plus is a pull-start starting system that eliminates the need to manually prime or choke — even from a cold start.
The system includes a mechanism that automatically senses engine temperature and adjusts the air/fuel mixture to suit conditions perfectly. No hassles. No guesswork.
This no-fuss starting system is ideal for homeowners living in regions that see a wide range of temperatures during mowing season, as well as lawns whose size or shape may require you to restart your mower one or more times per mowing session.
However, because some physical effort is required, persons with strength or mobility limitations might prefer an engine with electric start.
As with our other pull-start engines that rely on the starting power generated by an operator's physical oomph, ReadyStart® is designed around getting the job done with the least effort on your part. Even persons of modest strength can count on easy starts every time.
To start, just pull for power — Smooth Start™ Plus will do the rest.

    END LOOP;
    CLOSE cur;

END ##
DELIMITER ;

Problem: Result table becomes uneffected? I cant figure out why

A: I can't spot any syntax errors in the procedures' logic.
But this condition:
WHERE s.S_TITLE LIKE CONCAT('%', sss, '%')

seems to be false for all combinations of the two sample tables (the sss gets values form the F_TABLE.F_TITLE column). This means that no rows will be inserted.

A: You read out the names from F_TABLE.F_TITLE (Delta,Gamma...) and look for them in S_TABLE.S_TITLE and there is no match.
The cursor in crap should use the same title column as the zap procedure.
edit:
The cursor cur CURSOR FOR SELECT F_TITLE FROM F_TABLE; will fetch 'Delta','Gamma' and so on into fTit. Then Zap() is called:
Zap('Delta'), Zap('Gamma') etc.
The Zap procedure will create a match string '%Delta%', '%Gamma%' and so on and look for this in the first table you listed. Since that table contains 'Jim', 'George' and other names there is no match. The SELECT returns no rows so there is nothing inserted in any of the calls to zap.
If you change the cursor to instead look in S_TABLE you will get rows inserted, but maybe not the ones you want. Please explain more what you expect in the results table.

A: Is autocommit set or perhaps you need COMMIT, at the end of crap.

Sarbanes Oxley : Auditing : Financial Close
BlackLine Systems Appoints New Chief Technology Officer
Leading cloud financial close software company continues executive team expansion with addition of Alain Avakian to oversee global technology direction
Alain Avakian
BlackLine Systems
Enterprise-class financial software company BlackLine Systems continues its investment in new executive talent with the hiring of Alain Avakian as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Mr. Avakian is a seasoned software architect and strategist with extensive experience scaling technology organizations for dynamic, fast-growing Internet and e-commerce companies as they've grown to the point of public offerings and/or acquisition.
As CTO at BlackLine, Mr. Avakian will be responsible for the technology direction of BlackLine's flagship Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based account reconciliation and financial close suite as the company seeks to capitalize on the growing worldwide demand for solutions that drive greater efficiency, financial governance and risk management across the spectrum of financial operations.
"BlackLine's technology needs, both internal and external, have grown exponentially along with our client base. We've actually been searching for several years now for someone with that rare mix of exceptional interpersonal and management skills, as well as the technical knowledge and expertise to run a leading-edge technology organization – and we've finally found it in Alain," Therese Tucker, CEO, BlackLine Systems, said. "Alain has terrific skills from his experience at several growing Internet companies where he was instrumental in providing the technology vision, strategy and leadership to help the organizations scale from concept through public offerings, acquisitions and beyond."
Mr. Avakian joins BlackLine with 25 years of software engineering experience. As one of the first employees of Rent.com, he provided the technology leadership to take the company from a struggling start-up to an industry leader and innovator, finally serving as CTO from 2011 to 2014. During his 13-year tenure, he led the technology organization as the company navigated through two acquisitions (first by eBay in 2004 and later by TPG/RentPath).
Prior to Rent.com, Mr. Avakian was a Senior Architect and Senior Software Engineer at Stamps.com where he built the company's website under a very aggressive timeline, enabling a successful initial public offering (IPO) in 1999 and a second public offering later that same year. Similarly, at CitySearch/Ticketmaster, Mr. Avakian helped to build the technology stack for the early-stage company from the ground up, resulting in a successful acquisition and IPO in 1998. Mr. Avakian also has held several other senior software engineering positions with companies such as TCI/AND Interactive and Packard Bell.
Under Ms. Tucker's direction, BlackLine Systems revenues have increased more than 50 percent annually on a consistent basis and are on track to exceed that pace in 2014. In 2013, BlackLine partnered with Silver Lake Sumeru, the mid-market arm of leading technology-focused global private equity firm Silver Lake, to do a recapitalization of the company and drive its next phase of growth. The CTO appointment is one of several planned to round out the company's management team in an effort to strengthen and complement existing resources as the company continues to grow globally.

Q: jQuery iterate through elements within another element I have HTML like this:

A

B

C

D

E

F

   ...etc.

I am trying to iterate through the "foo" divs to create objects like {bar1: A, bar2: B, bar3: C} with code sort of like this:
var arrayOfObjects= [];
var rows = $(".foo");

for (var i=0; i<rows.length; i++) {
    var row = rows[i];

    arrayOfObjects.push(
        {
            bar1: row.find(".bar1").text(),
            bar2: row.find(".bar2").text(),
            bar3: row.find(".bar3").text()
        }
    );
}

I understand that this doesn't work because the original var rows = $(".foo"); creates an array of DOM elements, which don't have find() as a function. I also know that within the loop, I could start using elementByClass and innerHtml, but I feel like my brain starts crying whenever I start mixing jQuery-style and DOM-style selectors in the same code.
Is there a way to fix my code above so that I'm using jQuery selectors within the loop?

A: You can easily iterate through .row divs by using each(),
 var arrayOfObjects= [];
 $(".foo").each(function(){
      var items = {"bar1" : $(this).find('.bar1').text(),"bar2" : $(this).find('.bar2').text(), "bar3" : $(this).find('.bar3').text()};
      arrayOfObjects.push(items); //If you want to push all into an object and then into an array

      //or to use it on its own
      $(this).find('.bar1').text();
      $(this).find('.bar2').text();
      $(this).find('.bar3').text();
 });

Hope this helps.

A: You can wrap your elements as jQuery objectslike this:
arrayOfObjects.push(
    {
        bar1: $(row).find(".bar1").text(),
        bar2: $(row).find(".bar2").text(),
        bar3: $(row).find(".bar3").text()
    }
);

This makes you row a JQuery object, which has the 'find' method.

A:

             //find all the foo, and map them into new elements
var result = $('.foo').map(function(index, element){
  //we want to map all the children of the element into a single object
  return $(element).children().get().reduce(function(aggregate, childElement){
    //get the class off of the child and it's value, put them in the object
    aggregate[childElement.className] = childElement.innerText;

    return aggregate;
  }, {}); //second argument to the reduce() is the starting element
}).get(); //use get() to break the array out of the jQuery object

console.log(result);

A

F

A:

$(document).ready(() => {
  var arrayOfObjects = $('.foo').map(function() {
    return $(this).find('>*').map(function(obj) {
      return {
        class: $(this).attr('class'),
        text: $(this).text()
      };
    }).get().reduce( (obj, arr) => {
      obj[arr.class] = arr.text;
      return obj;
    }, {});
  }).get();

  console.log(arrayOfObjects);
});

hope this helps you :)

A: Something along these lines with .each would probably work

const $rows = $('.foo');
let arrayOfObjects = [];

$rows.each(function(i) {
  const $row = $(this);
  let obj = {};
  $row.children().each(function(ch) {
    obj = { ...obj, [this.className]: $(this).text() };
  });
  arrayOfObjects = [ ...arrayOfObjects, obj ];
});

console.log(arrayOfObjects);

Q: Sources of PyS60's standard functions (particularly appuifw.query) I need to give user ability to enter a time in form hh:mm:ss (with appropriate validation of course). And standard function appuifw.query(u'Label', 'time') works almost fine except that it allows to enter only hours and minutes (hh:mm). So I want to look though its source and write my own that enhances it in the stated manner.
I've found file epoc32\winscw\c\resource\appuifw.py that comes with PyS60 SDK extension but it only contains constructor implementation (__init__).
So the question is where to find sources of platform's standard functions (particularly appuifw.query).

A: Are the *_src.zip files on garage.maemo.org any useful? (I don't currently have the tools to verify what's in there.)

It'll pretty much pull out all the way around the windshield. Guess I need to take it all out, clean the edge of the windshield interface with a degreaser and nylon brush, pump a bunch of sealant in there and reinstall the gasket.
What kind of cleaner and sealant should I use for this job? Any advice appreciated.


My husband and I booked this tour. Ruth was our guide. She was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour! It was a nice way to spend the afternoon as you learnt a lot without being bored (which is normally the case when you go on vineyard guided tour). We tasted 8 different wines in generous quantity. The weather was beautiful so we were able to enjoy the bubbly they serve on arrival in the walled garden.
This is the second time i have been for a work team bonding sessions and it was fantastic.
I had great feel back from the managers who did this , that it was a real brain teaser, was great value of money, and you really do work as a team to escape the room which is what they wanted.
As a company more and more teams want to book theses room.
Set on the banks of the River Thames, The Mill at Sonning Theatre promises a unique experience where your visit includes a two-course meal and a show in a beautiful converted water mill. Start your visit with a drink (or two...) in the Waterwheel Bar, or, if you visit us in the summer, take a sunny seat on The Mill Stream Terrace. From the bar make your way upstairs to our restaurant with views out over the river, where you will find your tickets and complimentary programme waiting on your table. The main course is served buffet style but our friendly staff will be on hand to take your drinks and desserts orders. After enjoying a two-course meal, prepared daily in our kitchen using only the best locally sourced ingredients, you will make your way into the main event of your visit - the theatre! The theatre itself is an intimate venue, Seating just over 200 people, air conditioned with spacious and comfy seats that won't leave you longing for legroom or calling for a cushion. During the year we produce a wide variety of plays in the theatre, including a musical over the Christmas season, and regular music and comedy nights that will have you dancing and rolling in the aisles. Whatever your tastes, in both theatre and food, you will be sure to find something to whet your appetite here at The Mill. Our Waterwheel Bar is also open for artisan coffee and homemade cakes during the day. Pop in and see us from 11am-5pm every Tuesday-Sunday.
Four of us attended The Hound of the Baskervilles. We were all so impressed, we were gripped from the very start. I have to say we were looking forward to a pleasant evening, but this play exceeded all our expectations. Atmospheric, thrilling, creepy, funny, great acting, brilliant use of the deceptivelly simple stage set and use of the theatre spaces. Defiinitely one of the best plays I have enjoyed - and I have enjoyed many. It certainly deserves the great reviews given by the press. Very cleverly crafted, this really is a must-see play. Wouldn't be surprised to see this transfer to the west end.
As always the theatre itself is a joy. Good buffet restaurant (soon to be refurbished), and great service. This small theatre provides an iintimate atmosphere that enhances whatever Performances appear there. This is the third time that I have visited along with different friends who have mobility difficulties. Each time I have booked seats I have discussed the facilities with the staff before the visit, and they have been very helpful in booking appropriate seats and ensuring assistance on the night of the visit. There is a supervised chair-lift and the staff are attentive to provide extra assistance if necessary at the buffet, the restaurant and the theatre. There are good disabled toilets on the ground floor and also at restaurant level. The night we visited, there were at least three other people who needed, and received, help with moving around. The staff are so friendly and helpful at all levels. Highly recommend this venue.
2 hour Afternoon Cream Tea Cruises and full day cruises on the River Thames on a luxury wide beam canal boat(max 12 passengers per cruise). Includes welcome drinks, tea/coffee, scones, buffet (buffet available on full day only). Depart Caversham or Sonning cruising to Mapledurham, Pangbourne or to Shiplake and Henley-on-Thames. Also available are Children's Pirate's cruises. Includes visit to an island,a treasure hunt and meal. All cruises must be booked in advance.
Very pleasant trip down the river where we were told the dredging has stopped since the environmental agency took over, so the river is slowly filling up and large boats may not be able to get up and down the river eventually. The trees along the banks have grown very tall and are unkept and so there is not so much to see, except some large houses with Gardens to the river.
Maple Duram estate was hardly visible through the trees, so this river cruise is more for the love of a trip down the Thames on a water vessel.

Skiplex, we move Mountains.
An 18th-century house, a 1950s homeThis is a story of grandeur created, dissolved and resurrected - not once, but twice.Basildon Park is an impressive Georgian mansion, surrounded by glorious parkland, which was lovingly rescued from ruin by Lord and Lady Iliffe in the mid 1950s. The house you see today is a re-creation and restoration of the 18th-century mansion. They restored the elegant interior and scoured the country salvaging 18th-century architectural fixtures and fittings. They filled their comfortable new home with fine paintings, fabrics and furniture, which can still be enjoyed by visitors today.
Met my elder daughter here today on Mother's day and enjoyed the house very much. Walked around the gravelled paths and as it was a warmish day we enjoyed that too. The tearooms had a reasonable choice of food including tasty soup. The guides were informative and charming, There was an excellent buggy service to take us to the house from the car park which helped me as I can't walk too far and I would have found the walk a bit hard. The car park is tiny and I think the NT needs to try and get planning permission to extend this facility to cope with the visitors.
The old wall and Amphitheatre are interesting to see, I am amazed that they are so old and so accessible. The area where the town was is just a field, so bring your imagination!
There are more than a hundred listed buildings in Reading but unfortunately the vast majority along the section of the canal and river that runs through central and East Reading are really dreadful. I walked along the Abbey Backwater to the River Kennet and then along and across Bridges on other bits. There was not much that stood out - some nice cottages maybe. The buildings that are / were the Riverside Museum are interesting as is the information board there by the weir but this is now part of a pub / restaurant. If I had more time I would have continued East along the River Kennet as it does start to become more rural quickly.

Дави́д Родио́нович Каплуно́в (род. 22 июля 1934 года, Москва) — советский и российский учёный в области горных наук (комплексное освоение и сохранение недр Земли, разработка месторождений твёрдых полезных ископаемых). Заслуженный деятель науки и техники Российской Федерации (1992), член-корреспондент РАН (1997), лауреат премии Президента РФ в области образования.

Биография
Родился 22 июля 1934 года в Москве в семье учёного и педагога в области горного дела профессора Родиона Павловича Каплунова (1904—1975).

С отличием окончил Московский горный институт (сегодня Горный институт НИТУ «МИСиС») в 1956 году, получив квалификацию горного инженера. После института работал в горно-химической промышленности. В 1958 году поступил в очную аспирантуру ИГД АН СССР, которую окончил, защитив кандидатскую диссертацию на тему «Исследование системы этажного принудительного обрушения». С 1961 по 1969 год — младший, а затем старший научный сотрудник этого института. В 1969 году был переведён на работу старшим научным сотрудником в сектор физико-технических горных проблем Института физики Земли им. О. Ю. Шмидта АН СССР. В 1977 году, после создания на его базе Института проблем комплексного освоения недр АН СССР (ИПКОН РАН), был избран на должность заведующего лабораторией теории проектирования подземной разработки месторождений при комплексном освоении недр. В настоящее время работает в ИПКОН РАН главным научным сотрудником отдела теории проектирования освоения недр. Руководит выполнением исследований по созданию усовершенствованных методов проектирования основных параметров горнотехнических систем, комплексного освоения и сохранения недр Земли в ходе разработки месторождений твёрдых полезных ископаемых.

В 1980—1990-е годы руководил выполнением ряда крупных научно-исследовательских работ, связанных с региональными и государственными проблемами в области освоения недр. За работу в этот период в 1982 году был удостоен Премии Совета Министров СССР «за исследование и обоснование направлений освоения минерально-сырьевой базы и технического перевооружения подземных рудников и карьеров». В 1991 году удостоен Премии Совета Министров СССР «за разработку и внедрение новых технологий, обеспечивающих снижение потерь в недрах и повышение качества товарной продукции при подземной добыче руд в Криворожском бассейне».

В 1986 году защитил докторскую диссертацию «Определение производственной мощности подземных рудников горнопромышленного региона при техническом перевооружении».

В 1994 году был утверждён председателем секции по проблемам КМА Научного совета РАН по проблемам горных наук, является также заместителем председателя этого совета.

30 мая 1997 года общим собранием Российской академии наук избран членом-корреспондентом РАН по отделению геологии, геофизики, геохимии и горных наук (разработка твёрдых полезных ископаемых).

В 2001 году в составе авторского коллектива стал лауреатом Премии Правительства Российской Федерации за разработку и широкомасштабное промышленное внедрение комбинированных технологий комплексного освоения медно-колчеданных месторождений Урала.

Лауреат премии Президента Российской Федерации в области образования (2001) «за обоснование новых направлений в области образования по рациональному природопользованию на основе интеграции вузовской и академической науки».

В 2013 году назначен председателем экспертного совета по проблемам разработки месторождений твёрдых полезных ископаемых Высшей аттестационной комиссии Министерства образования и науки Российской Федерации.

В результате многолетней работы над проблемой комплексного освоения сверхкрупных месторождений России, в 2015 году в составе авторского коллектива получил Премию Правительства Российской Федерации в области науки и техники «за крупномасштабное промышленное внедрение ресурсосберегающей экологически сбалансированной геотехнологии комплексного освоения месторождений Курской магнитной аномалии».

Научная и педагогическая деятельность

Д. Р. Каплунов возглавляет «рудную ветвь» горных наук, как фундаментальное направление, созданное его учителем академиком М. И. Агошковым, избранным в АН СССР в 1954 году. Д. Р. Каплуновым на основе развития теоретических методов расчётов в горном деле предложена научная специальность «Теоретические основы проектирования горнотехнических систем», вошедшая в номенклатуру специальностей научных работников по разделу «Науки о Земле». Он более 30 лет руководит в ИПКОН РАН Отделом теории проектирования освоения недр. Результатами научной деятельности Д. Р. Каплунова явилась методология обоснования рациональных способов и параметров подземной и комбинированной разработок рудных месторождений, оптимизации производственной мощности рудников, их технического переоснащения, принципов разработки рудных месторождений в полном цикле комплексного освоения и сохранения недр. Им введено понятие горнотехнической системы как совокупности технологических подсистем добычи полезных ископаемых и соответствующих им горных конструкций во взаимодействии с осваиваемыми участками недр. Создана и используется при проектировании классификация горнотехнических систем, позволяющая выбрать рациональный вариант освоения недр в зависимости от горно-геологических условий разработки.

Д. Р. Каплунов обосновал выбор основных параметров подземных рудников с учетом влияния стабильности качества добываемого сырья не только на показатели добычи, но и последующей его переработки. Им установлены области применения горных технологий и средств механизации с учетом сбалансированного развития горнодобывающей и машиностроительной отраслей.
Д.Р. Каплунов сыграл важную роль в становлении современных горных наук как системы знаний о техногенном преобразовании недр Земли, их классификации, обосновании нового содержания и задач на перспективу. Им с учениками теоретически обоснована и экспериментально доказана эффективность генерального проектирования рудников, учитывающего все этапы  их развития (открытая, комбинированная, подземная геотехнологии). Доказана необходимость организации замкнутого оборота минерального вещества в пределах горнотехнических систем при переходе от разработки технологий добычи полезных ископаемых к парадигме рационального техногенного преобразования недр в ходе их освоения.

Сфера научных интересов Давида Родионовича включает вопросы стратегического развития горнодобывающих комплексов России с учётом их взаимодействия с окружающей средой. Он автор Концепции государственной стратегии обеспечения экологической безопасности освоения недр, нашедшей широкое общественное признание.
В  ИПКОН РАН Д. Р. Каплуновым было положено начало и под его руководством проведены фундаментальные исследования в ключевых и принципиально новых направлениях развития горных наук:
	заложены научные основы проектирования вновь строящихся и реконструируемых горных предприятий с подземным способом разработки с учётом требований масштаба производства и комплексности освоения недр;
	обоснованы и реализованы методы научного прогноза развития подземных рудников с учётом их периодического технического перевооружения;
	разработан принципиально новый в горных науках подход к проектированию горных предприятий, основанный на выборе параметров горнотехнических систем исходя из совокупности формируемых минерально-сырьевых потоков  в различных сочетаниях их объёмов, назначения и стабильности качества, обеспечивающих заданную производственную мощность на различных этапах существования предприятия;
 развиты методы проектирования горнотехнических систем в части учёта рисков природного и техногенного характера, связанных с реализацией комбинированных геотехнологий;
 впервые реализована идея переноса поверхностной инфраструктуры горного предприятия в подземное пространство. Для этого обоснованы параметры систем разработки с закладкой выработанного пространства передвижными установками.

По совместительству более 40 лет работает профессором Горного института НИТУ МИСиС.

Семья
Женат, имеет сына, двух внучек.

Robert this is some amazing stuff. Both of these Radical comics looks absolutely astounding. I hope I can get these off Amazon.
Yeah, they're pretty cool :) I'm personally interested in City of Dust written by Steve Niles, and I'll probably also check out Freedom Formula.


In the course of its current effort to collect a "big data" set of newspaper and magazine articles, government documents, and other public discourse on the humanities for study through computational text analysis, the 4Humanities WhatEvery1Says research project acted on an intriguing idea by team member Professor Jeremy Douglass (UC Santa Barbara) to extend its idea of public discourse.
Much of the leading-edge scholarly response to public discussion about the apparent decline of the humanities has revolved around translating the older notion of "general" and (more recently) "flexible" humanities knowledge into such terms relevant to current socioeconomic change as "open access" and "collaboration." Normally, these concepts are seen through the lens of copyright issues. Little attention has been paid to patents as part of the modernization of the humanities.
Gutenberg did not have a patent on print. However, thinking about the humanities in society today, researchers may need to evaluate critically how the humanities should adapt to the fact that he didn't.
4Humanities has created initial topic models of the Humanities Patents (spreadsheet of 30-topic model) and the Humanities Patents – Total Set (spreadsheet of 30-topic model). The topic models seem to be highly legible (perhaps owing to the tightly constrained form of patent descriptions). In essence, each topic in the models is a kind of doorway through which the humanities are invited into the highly technical, formalized, monetized world of late modernity as envisioned in patents. From the point of view of patents as a form of knowledge, the main doorways today can be labeled such things as "information," "documents," "education," "search," etc. –not such older humanistic portals as "philosophy," "literature," "history," and so on.
Topic models were created using Mallet version 2.0.8RC2 on a scrubbed version of the patent descriptions to which an extra stopwords list (additional to the default Mallet stopwords) was applied.
Preparation of scrubbed texts and extra stopwords was facilitated through preliminary text analysis of the patents. We processed our total set of patents with the Antconc linguistic corpus analysis tool to create a word list by frequency and also a list of 3-grams terminating in "humanities." Used in conjunction with Antconc's concordance tool (to assess the context of words), these allowed us to identify words to add to the extra stopwords list and also to a Python script that (minimally) scrubbed the texts to standardize some words (e.g., "students," "student's," "student"; "texts," "text") and to consolidate some phrases (e.g., "U.S. > u_s; "liberal arts" > liberal_arts).
Word cloud visualizations of topics were created using the Lexos online text processing platform, whose Visualize > Multicloud tool includes an option for "Topic Clouds" that can be fed the topic-counts file produced when Mallet is used with the –word-topic-counts-file option.
