Top 10 Comedy Movies of All Time
By Alyssa Ralston
Comedy is one of the staple points in Hollywood films. From time to time, everyone loves a good laugh. Interestingly, comedy has definitely shifted as time goes on. In the beginning, we see a lot of puns and riddles, but now we are leaning towards dirty humor. Whether or not this is good is just an opinion, but it is interesting to see how each generation defines what makes a good comedy movie. Movie buffs will recognize a lot of movies on the list, and if your favorite comedy isn't on it, it probably was a close contender!
# 10 – The Breakfast Club (1985)
Taking the first spot on our list is Breakfast Club. This movie is all about five high schools students who end up in detention, and the bond that they form after getting to know each other. At first, they started out on opposite ends of the spectrum, all from different walks of life and outwardly different. As they get to know each other, they find out that they are all essentially the same. This movie is super iconic and something that most people grew up loving.
# 9 – Monsters, Inc. (2001)
The first Disney film to take the list, Monsters, Inc. is a children's comedy all about monsters who scare children in order to power their civilization. Monsters, Inc. is a child's dream movie because it is all about the silly monsters under the bed and how they are actually super harmless. The two main characters of the film, Mike and Sully, are characters that every child today can recognize and that is something that makes this movie so special.
# 8 – The Truman Show (1998)
All about a man who's entire life is a television show, the Truman Show is a creepy comedy movie. Jim Carrey portrays an insurance salesman who does not actually realize his life is broadcasted to the entire world. His life is constantly being repeated, and it's not until a stray cast member that he finds out the truth about his life. The Truman Show will you have laughing because of the main character and his antics. It takes him a while to realize what is really going on, and the situations that he gets himself into prior to learning about his life are hilarious.
# 7 – Deadpool (2016)
Deadpool is a modern take on a super hero movie. He is not like any other super hero that you might know, he is very arrogant, rude, and uses very foul language. Deadpool is the opposite of what you think of when you think of a super hero movie. This is why it was so popular for so many people. It broke the barriers between what is a super hero movie and what isn't and it did it very well. Ryan Reynolds killed his part in the movie and really sold it to audiences. Deadpool takes this spot with ease as it is sure to make anyone who watches it, laugh.
# 6 – Finding Nemo (2003)
Taking the number six spot on our list is Finding Nemo. Another Disney classic has made its way onto the list, simply because of the comedic value that the movie has. This movie has had a lot of children laughing all over the place. Finding Nemo easily took the number one spot in the country when it was debuted. Finding Nemo is all about a clown fish who ends up getting lost, and the journey of bringing him back home. Finding Nemo might not have been the comedy of choice for some adults, but for kids, it was the number one comedy when it came out.
# 5 – The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
A prime example of a more modern comedy movie, Wolf of Wall Street is a biographical comedy that focuses on the life of Jordan Belfort. Jordan is a stock broker that lives the good life of any broker on Wall Street, which includes drugs, crime, and corruption. The Wolf of Wall Street is much different than most of the other movies on this list because it is a lot cruder and uses a darker side of comedy. No matter what your preference is, The Wolf of Wall Street is bound to make you laugh at some point in time, simply because of how extreme this guy's situation is.
# 4 – Toy Story (1995)
A classic movie that most of us watched as Children, Toy Story is all about a toy box that comes to life while its owners are at school. Without a doubt, Toy Story has been enjoyed by children all across the world and for good reason, it is a comedy movie that makes everyone laugh. Tom Hanks takes the number four spot for Toy Story as he voiced Woody, the main character that you see throughout the movie. Toy Story won 3 Oscars during its time and was number one in the theaters during its opening weekend.
# 3 – Back to the Future (1985)
Back to the Future is all about a high school student and his crazy friend who accidentally go back in time. Back to the Future has earned its spot on this list because of how relatable the characters are. Despite being almost 30 years old, Back to the Future has held up great, being a movie that kids today can still watch and enjoy with their parents. Rated in the top 50 movies of all time on IMDbs list, Back to the Future is a movie that most people have loved at one point.
# 2 – Life is Beautiful (1997)
Life Is Beautiful is a timeless classic that anyone can still enjoy today. Set in Nazi Germany during World War 2, Life Is Beautiful tells the tale of a Jewish librarian who becomes a victim of the Holocaust. He must use his wit and humor in order to survive the Nazis. Life Is Beautiful takes the number 2 spot because of its use of clever and witty lines that really are relatable and make people laugh. Life Is Beautiful won 3 Oscars and 66 other awards. If you haven't seen this classic, I most definitely recommend you checking it out as it will be sure to make you laugh.
# 1 – Forrest Gump (1994)
Without a doubt, Forrest Gump is a comedy movie that almost anyone can enjoy, no matter how young or old. Tom Hanks portrays Forrest Gump, a not so intelligent man who tells his story and all the peaks and valleys that he encounters during it. Forrest Gump is a family friendly movie that is timeless. During its opening weekend, Forrest Gump earned more than 24 million dollars and was number one in theaters all across North America. Forrest Gump was nominated for 6 Oscars, and won each and every one of them. If, for some reason, you haven't seen this classic, I cannot recommend it enough as it is sure to get a laugh out of anyone.

The Winter Passing
Dublin, County Dublin
OFFICIAL SITE BANDCAMP FACEBOOK ITUNES TWITTER
The Winter Passing created an infectiously raw mix of garage punk energy and indie rock quirks that garnered critical acclaim. When the time came for a follow-up the bands infectious 2015 debut LP 'A Different Space of Mind', the band sought to create a record that built on that adventurous spirit and further utilized each member's individual musical sensibilities. The band recruited legendary producer J. Robbins (Against Me!, The Promise Ring, Texas Is The Reason, Jets To Brazil) to help execute their vision in the studio, and the result is an incredibly dynamic release that effortlessly bridges the gap between anthemic punk rock melodies and the spunky complexities of '90s alternative. While its moods and tones are many, 2017's Double Exposure is an impressively cohesive release with a uniquely Irish spin.

Introduction: Elderly is a very important period of life in which many chronic illnesses threat the person well-being, also endangers their quality of life. This study aimed to compare the association of meaning in life and self-esteem with quality of life in elderly living at home and those in nursing home.
Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical study performed on 120 elderly women and men living in Khorramabad city between 2016 and 2017, including 60 elderly living at home and 60 elderly living in nursing homes.

To collect data, the Steger et al meaning in life (2006), Rosenberg Self-Esteem (1965) and Sherbvn & Weir quality of life (1992) questionnaires were used. Data was analyzed using Pearson correlation test, multiple regression analysis with stepwise method and T-test.
Results: There was a significant difference between meaning in life (t₌3.63, P<0.01), self-esteem (t₌3,69, P<0.001) and quality of life (t₌4.05, P<0.001) between elderly living at home and those living in nursing homeMultiple stepwise regression analysis showed that meaning of life and self-esteem predicted 26% of quality of life variance.

Home Interview - John TordoffInterview – John Tordoff Chief executive, JCT600
Interview – John Tordoff Chief executive, JCT600
Be prepared to do things differently to compete
JOHN TORDOFF IS chief executive of the family-owned JCT600 chain of dealerships, which cover 52 sites and represent 21 brands, from Rolls-Royce and Ferrari to more mainstream makers such as Kia, Seat and Volkswagen.
In recent years, Tordoff has led an overhaul of how the business operates, identifying new opportunities and structuring it to succeed in a changing market. The result is a turnover in excess of £1.2 billion, which makes it the UK's 12th largest automotive retail group.
What happened in 2016 to spark the changes you now attribute your success to?
"A number of factors all came about together. I'd love to point at one reason – it's possible to look at the VW emissions situation, for instance – but, in truth, I think it was a combination of a few different things that highlighted a simple home truth: that, frankly, we needed a kick up the backside.
"That's hard to admit but, as a leadership group, we all sat down and accepted that it wasn't good enough. We wanted to improve and could see that we could. It wasn't dramatic in nature, but it was in culture. We changed structures. We got new people in. We focused harder on accepting some changes and embracing them. One year on, the figures were much, much better – in terms of trading figures, the best we've had. And we're still growing."
Did you consider the job done at that point?
"No. We all looked at it and said: 'Do you know what? We could still do so much better.' So, again, we added a few members to the team, filled a few roles we'd held off on, got a bit more impetus behind aftersales and so on. We also created an entirely new role for a customer experience director.
"We are very conscious that the whole industry, and our business in particular, is changing rapidly and everything just has to be more customer-centric now. It wasn't that we didn't recognise that before, of course, but having someone thinking constantly about how to pull our initiatives together has had a huge impact."
What's the biggest challenge you face now?
"I can live with challenges that I can do something about, so I'd highlight one that I can't control: WLTP. We've spent months planning for it from the retail side, but it has been a moving concern. The initial concern was that we were going to get to the end of August and be faced with an absolute mountain of pre-reg that we were going to have to battle our way through. Thankfully, that didn't happen.
"But now we have a problem of supply. We can't hit our targets if we can't get the cars to sell – and the problem of supply looks like it could last well into 2019 for some brands. Add in other external factors, from falling consumer confidence to the diesel debate, and the pretty severe headwinds are there for us all to see. Selling new cars is hard, and the fleet market is a total bloodbath, frankly."
Can you mitigate these problems?
"Well, this is another lesson we learned back in 2016, and that's to be better at the things we can control. So, principally, used cars and aftersales. We've had some really phenomenal success in used cars with some fairly radical referral schemes we've run. Aftersales has also done well. We're really maximising that."
'You need expertise on every touch point now, so you can help your customers'
Are buyers switching from new to used cars?
"Some are. For many, the £300 a month that they were spending on a PCP will now cost £350 a month if they want the same car. So, of course, some buyers will look at the nearly new stock and see what the same money can get them.
"But I like to think we're driving our own success, too – and a lot of that is driven by our online presence. We've got far better at digital and with dealing with the enquiries we generate from it."
How are you improving the customer experience?
"We are overrun with enquiries. The difficulty is talking to them all efficiently and helpfully. So we've put a big emphasis on getting back to customers quicker, more efficiently and speaking the language they are using rather than 'car dealership' talk.
"Online, we're open to chat from 7am until 10pm, seven days a week, every day of the year. We've invested heavily in a customer service centre. It's been open for about six months and we're ramping up to capacity of around 80 people."
How quickly do customers expect you to respond to enquiries?
"It's never quick enough, but our own data suggests that 45% of enquiries we receive get a response within 30 minutes. That's not bad, but it isn't good enough. It needs to be 80% within 30 minutes. The other 20% within the next 30 minutes. People are just impatient these days and they have so much choice. If you don't get back to them quickly, somebody else will and they'll just move on."
What's the biggest barrier to that happening?
"The volume of enquiries we get. We're overwhelmed. What we're investing in is identifying the keenest buyers quicker."
Does the sales process have to change as well?
"It doesn't have to, but it's pretty notable that the purchasing process is entirely built around how we retailers need to manage it, rather than how the customer wants to go through it – and the two sides are almost opposites.
"The stereotype of the mystery salesman who never emerges from his office and whom all other salesmen have to ask permission from before they do a deal is still a reality in some dealerships. Customers dread that kind of experience. Now we have online assistants, in-store product geniuses, specialists who can photograph and video the cars to help customers and more. You need expertise on every touch point now, so you can help customers and stand out from the crowd."
Where does this leave the salesman?
"They're getting batted from pillar to post. They've got customers to deal with. They've got technicians to deal with. That's hard. Essentially, the role is the same as it was 40 years ago, and we're questioning if that's right. I haven't got any conclusions to tell you, but there's no glory in being set in your ways, even if your final conclusion is that the way you built your successful business is still the right one.
"We challenge everyone to ask: 'Is this bit of our business fit for purpose in 2018?' And if it's not, we challenge them to do something about it. If we're to compete with the growing presence of online retailers and such, we need to be prepared to do things a bit differently."

Writer Alice Adams Dies In Her Sleep
By Larry D. Hatfield, courtesy of The San Francisco Examiner
June 20, 1999 - Alice Adams, whose novels and short stories about strong women and life in San Francisco made her one of the Bay Area's most celebrated writers, is dead. Ms. Adams, who was released from a hospital earlier in the week after being treated for heart problems, died in her sleep Thursday at her Alta Plaza Park home. She was 72.
"As a writer, she was considered one of the masters of the short story," said fellow writer and longtime friend Millicent Dillon. "Most of her work was about people in San Francisco. She had a really remarkable ability to write about the surface of society and then get down to the level of how they felt."
The last of Ms. Adams' 10 novels and five short story collections was published last year. "This Last Lovely City" was another work about San Francisco.
Born in Fredericksburg, VA, and reared in Chapel Hill, N.C., Ms. Adams' father was a University of North Carolina language teacher and her mother was a frustrated writer. She was graduated from high school at 15 and from Radcliffe College at 19.
She married college sweetheart Mark Linethal and they spent a year in Paris before moving to San Francisco in 1948. They were divorced in 1958.
Ms. Adams published her first short story for The New Yorker in 1969 and became one of the magazine's most distinctive voices.
"No one wrote better about the tangled relations of men and women or about the enduring romance of friendship," said her New Yorker editor, Fran Kiernan. "She was a great romantic, with the highest expectations of life. As a writer, she was unfailingly wise."
Although Ms. Adams claimed she inherited the reticence of her Southern female characters, legendary editor William Abrahams said of her, after meeting her in the 1950s, that "she was not going to pretend she wasn't the bright woman she is. The stereotype of women being mildly stupid in order to get ahead in the world simply never touched her. And that didn't always make her especially loved... I'm tempted to say that Alice was a kind of feminist before her time."
Former Examiner writer Joan Smith said Ms. Adams hated the 1950s "when she was a single mother and struggling at a time when one was not supposed to be either of those things, and loved the wonderfully freeing 1960s, when it was suddenly fine to be politically progressive and a woman who could be defined, at least theoretically, by her work and ideas and not simply by her relationships with men."
She was "mimicked to death," said Abrahams, who edited many of her works for the O. Henry collections. "I don't know anyone who quite writes the kinds of stories she does, though heaven knows they've tried. Very sharp-eyed, and sharp-tongued, even. She has a special take on life out here, which is curious because it is, after all, her adopted home."
Her 1975 novel, "Families and Survivors," about a woman who moves to The City from the South, established her as a front-rank writer. "Superior Women," a 1984 story tracing the lives of five Radcliffe women, was a best-seller.
"Southern Exposure," her ninth and considered by many her best novel, was a return-to-roots masterpiece set in the South.
She won the prestigious O. Henry Special Award for Continuing Achievement in 1982.
Ms. Adams had a wry view of the lives of independent women, and of life itself, and could be at once funny and trenchant in describing both during salons at her beautiful Victorian on Alta Plaza.
On the difficulty of writing as one gets older, she said, "Some smart person once said that what happens is your critical standards rise, and your talent does not necessarily increase in a commensurate way."
Hers did.
Ms. Adams is survived by her son, Peter, of San Francisco.
Randolph Bullock, Curator of Armor Exhibit, Dies at 96
By William H. Honan, courtesy of The New York Times
June 7, 1999 - Randolph Bullock, a curator emeritus of arms and armor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art who helped build its collection into one of the world's finest, died on May 28 at a hospital in Oceanside, N.Y. He was 96 and lived in Wickford, R.I.
Perhaps Bullock's most important contribution in his 40 years at the Metropolitan was the design of the arms and armor installation that opened in its J.P. Morgan Wing in 1956. Previously arms and armor had been shifted around the museum.
The armor installation was redesigned in 1991 but remains in the Morgan wing and retains such glories as the group of four equestrian knights in shining armor who appear to have sighted the enemy, leveled their lances and are preparing to thunder down the field.
Bullock supervised the installation of the four knights in the 1920s and their popularity eventually led to his appointment as curator of the department in 1964.
As a curator, Bullock was frequently involved in acquisitions. One of the most extraordinary of these was the museum's long effort to acquire the fowling piece of Louis XIII of France. That legendary long gun was then owned by William G. Renwick, a reclusive gun collector who kept his prizes hidden from sight in his home in Tucson, Ariz.
The Louis XIII hunting weapon is not only considered the most elegant 17th-century long gun in existence, but it is also one of only three flintlocks known to have been made in the workshop of Pierre and Marin Le Bourgeoys of Lisieux, the gunsmiths who invented the flintlock ignition mechanism.
Bullock was one of three Metropolitan curators beginning in the 1920s who tried to acquire the weapon, which they called "the most beautiful gun in the world," before it could be snatched away by the Smithsonian Institution, another museum or a private collector.
Several times it appeared that Renwick had been wooed and won, but he always backed off at the last minute. Then, after his death in 1972, his collection came up for auction at Sotheby's in London. Bullock pounced, and an agent for the Metropolitan bid $300,000 and gained the prize.
Randolph Bullock was born in Newport, R.I. He was a direct descendant of the Goddard family of Newport, whose members were renowned furniture and cabinet makers. He attended the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, graduating in 1924.
Two years later he was employed by the Metropolitan Museum as an illustrator. His job was to make measured drawings of objects in the arms and armor collection. These drawings could show cutaway views and depict, for example, how a man's head would fit into a helmet.
In the early 1930s Bullock supervised Works Progress Administration artists assigned to similar work at the museum. In 1937 he was named assistant curator of the arms and armor department, specializing in Asian objects.
During World War II he served in the Army Air Corps and interpreted aerial reconnaissance photographs. His first task when he returned to the Metropolitan was to supervise the resettlement of the collections in the museum removed for safekeeping during the war.
Bullock is survived by a daughter, Barbara Stern of Oceanside, and three grandchildren.
He could trace his professional lineage back to Ludwig Klein, the armorer to Napoleon III. Klein had fashioned the breastplate and backplate that the emperor wore in 1870 when he marched against the Prussians. As it turned out, Napoleon III was defeated, a result more of Alfred Nobel's newly devised dynamite shells than any defect in his armor.
When Klein died, his armorer's tools were inherited by an apprentice, Daniel Tachaux, who became the Metropolitan's first full-time armorer. Tachaux, who died in the 1920s, trained Bullock and also willed his royal armorer's tools to the museum.
The tools were an important asset to Bullock in combating the acrid air of New York City. Stephen Grancsay, the curator who succeeded Bullock, used the Tachaux collection of picks, hammers, stakes and anvils to create the helmet, or "tin pot," worn by U.S. soldiers in World War II.
Americo Paredes, 83, Founder of 1960's Chicano Studies Movement
By Joe Holley, courtesy of The New York Times
May 7, 1999 - Americo Paredes, a writer, folklorist and one of the founders of the Chicano studies movement in the 1960's, died on Wednesday at Specialty Hospital in Austin, Tex. He was 83.
At the time of his death Mr. Paredes was professor emeritus of English and anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin.
His best-known book, "With His Pistol in His Hand: A Border Ballad and Its Hero," is considered by folklore scholars to be a groundbreaking work in folklore and Chicano studies.
Mr. Paredes was born in 1915, in Brownsville, Tex., to a family with roots deep in what he called the Lower Border, that area of Texas along the Rio Grande from the two Laredos to the river's mouth at the Gulf of Mexico.
Bounded by desert and the sea, this isolated cluster of towns and villages along the river had been the heart of the old Spanish province of Nuevo Santander, colonized in 1749 by Jose De Escandon. Mr. Paredes's family on his father's side came to the area in 1580; his mother's family arrived in the mid-19th century.
Mr. Paredes insisted that a distinctive culture evolved where "the two cultures mingled and clashed," and he devoted his scholarly life to exploring the folklore and culture of the area. His work, the folklorist Richard Bauman has written, vindicates the premise "that a deep, detailed, nuanced understanding of the local will illuminate and inspire a more global vision."
He started writing poetry as a teen-ager and some of his poems were published in La Prensa, a widely read Spanish-language newspaper published in San Antonio. During the Depression years he worked as a reporter for The Brownsville Herald. With his first wife, Chelo Silva, a well-known singer in Mexico and South Texas, he also was part of a group that performed traditional music for parties and gatherings in the Rio Grande Valley.
Mr. Paredes and Miss Silva were divorced in the 1930's.
Even as a reporter, Mr. Paredes wrote poetry and essays about Chicano culture.
He also wrote a novel, "George Washington Gomez," but the book remained in manuscript form until 1990, when it was published by Arte Publico Press in Houston.
Mr. Paredes enlisted in the Army in 1941, and worked in the Pacific theater as a correspondent for Stars and Stripes.
After the war, he stayed in the Far East for five years, covering Japanese war crimes trials for Stars and Stripes and later doing public relations work for the American Red Cross in Japan.
In Tokyo, in 1948, he married Amelia Nagamine, daughter of an Argentine diplomat.
He returned to Texas in 1950 and enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin.
The first Mexican-American ever to receive a Ph.D. at the University of Texas, he taught at the university from 1958 until his retirement in 1984.
"With His Pistol in His Hand," his doctoral dissertation, is both a scholarly investigation into the evolution of a popular ballad about a Mexican-American fugitive named Gregorio Cortes and a revisionist retelling of the 1901 incident that inspired the ballad.
It would not have been published, Mr. Paredes told The Texas Observer, without the aid of two influential scholars at the university, Robert Stephenson and Stith Thompson, who became Mr. Paredes's champions on a campus that had never been particularly welcoming to Mexican-American students or scholars.
The book was published in 1958 and for nearly a decade after its publication remained something of an underground classic. That began to change in the 1960's, when Chicano activists at Berkeley and other California institutions discovered it. They recognized its significance as an alternative telling of American history and sociology.
Today, "With His Pistol in His Hand" is in its ninth printing.
Mr. Paredes, who was co-founder and first director of the University of Texas Mexican American Studies program as well as a founder of the Center for Intercultural Studies of Folklore and Ethnomusicology, published numerous articles, essays, books and poetry during his nearly 30-year career at the University of Texas.
He published five books after his retirement.
In addition to "With His Pistol in His Hand" and the novel "George Washington Gomez," Mr. Paredes's books include "Folktales of Mexico" (1970), "A Texas-Mexican Cancionero" (1976), "Between Two Worlds," a book of poems (1991), "Uncle Remus con Chile" (1992), "Folklore and Culture on the Texas-Mexican Border" (1993) and "The Hammon and the Beans and Other Stories" (1994).
Mr. Paredes won a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1962 and received the Charles Frankel Prize from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1989.
In 1991, he was awarded the Aguila Azteca (Aztec Eagle) medal, the highest honor given a foreigner by the Mexican Government.
He is survived by his wife; three sons, Americo, Alan and Vicente; and a daughter, Julia.

Owen and his friends made these awesome Plastimake dinosaur masks for a masquerade party.
To get that nice metal look they first spray painted the masks black, then dry brushed them with metallic paint.
To hold the masks in place they used a strip of elastic threaded through small holes on either side of the masks.
For all you budding palaeontologists out there, these specimens are based on the Triceratops and Gorgosaurus.

Can Spotify Artists See Who Listens to Them?
January 19, 2023 August 1, 2022 by Alex Popa
Spotify artists can't see who listens to their songs or playlists. Emphasis on the "who". But they have several other statistics on their listeners, such as:
Age breakdown of listeners
The gender breakdown of listeners
Count of listeners for specific songs
Count of streams
Count of saves for every song
Top countries that have listened to a track
Saves to Listeners ratio
Other artists that listeners are listening to
While Spotify artists aren't notified if someone starts listening to one of their songs or playlists, they will be notified if you follow their playlist. At least there's that, right?
But even then, the artist won't know who you are. Again, emphasis on the "who". The notification they receive reads something like this – "Someone has followed the [name] playlist". That "someone" could be anyone (heh).
But wait! There's more to be learned about what Spotify artists know (or don't know) about their listeners. Have a look below! Pretty please? – I made this nice writeup JUST for you. Honor me with a quick read pls, thx!
What Tools Can Spotify Artists Use for User Data?
Spotify provides several assessment and analytics tools to artists, most of which are quite in-depth and useful. Let's check them all out, shall we?
1. Home Section
Artists have a special Home section on their Spotify app; this is different than the ones we "normal people" see. Here, they can get juicy data such as:
How many people are listening to their music at a given time
Spotify's most recent blog entries
Listener statistics
Stream statistics
Follower statistics
The listener, follower, and stream statistics show how many people are listening to their top songs, the playlists those songs belong to, and the listener-follower ratio.
If this still isn't enough, they also have the…
2. …Music Section
This is where we get into the nitty-gritty of Spotify stats. The Music section on an artist's profile offers information on individual tracks from their playlists.
This data includes:
How many listeners does a track have
How many times has a track been streamed
How many times has a track been saved
The playlist a track has been added to
Top countries that listen to a track
Top cities that listen to a track
The source streams have been coming from
Save Rate
Save to Listeners' ratio
You can also set specific date ranges for personalized data on your listeners. Spotify artists can also see listener statistics on a specific song for a specific period.
As you can probably guess, this data is extremely useful to assess the reach and impact of your music on listeners.
But that's not all, there is also the "Audience section":
3. Audience Section
In the Audience section, Spotify artists will see data related to:
Their listeners' age range
Their listeners' gender breakdown
Top locations that are streaming tracks
With this information on hand, artists will know how their music appeals to their audience and where their music is most popular.
This is exactly the kind of info that a Spotify artist needs to improve their appeal to the masses (other than talent for music maybe…).
4. "Listening Now" Feature
Spotify artists also have a special feature that shows how many people listen to their music in real-time (this is perhaps the most useful feature, imo).
REAL. TIME. – Even I'm impressed by it…
This feature is called "Listening Now" and can be found in the Spotify dashboard for artists only. The statistics are uploaded in real-time based on global listening statistics.
All in all, these tools provide artists with an eagle eye on their listeners, the advantage of which should be evident.
BUT, as said above, they DO NOT see who listens to their songs. They do not know the exact name, etc. of their listeners. All of this stuff is just aggregated data and does not relate to any individual listener.
For example: …if a song doesn't do well, an artist can see that and adapt future songs to what the user base demands.
Despite all of this, none of these tools allow the artist to see "who" listens to them. Spotify is VERY serious about its users' privacy (…a rarity these days, trust me on this!) and keeps their identity anonymous.
Long story short, Spotify artists won't know who you are when listening to one of their tracks. They don't have access to such in-depth analytics… and they never should, if you ask me.
Your identity on Spotify should always be private. Big Brother has no business here (that we know of…).
Spotify artists can only see how many people are listening to their tracks. All they get is a number, not a name.
Other metrics include age, gender, other artists you're listening to, and more. But your identity remains private all the time.
If you're still suspicious about the topic, rightly so considering other social platforms' shady privacy practices, don't be afraid to leave a comment below. I'm always up for a conversation on privacy and online security!


I'm not really a white belt guy but I say wear what you like, how boring if we all dressed alike. Clothes really reflect your personality.
That's awesome, especially as any inexpensive entry into the deep rabbit hole of club building addiction.
Hey I forgot that. You have two, I'm in Lockport too.
Don't bypass western NY. It's great in the summer and we have some excellent courses. Fall golf here is awesome too. Winter...oh boy!
I'd have to go with the 14 clubs. I can't resist new clubs...it's a serious addiction.
Mine broke off my bag last year and I lost it. Really bummed me out. I wish we would do bag tags again.


Over 100 people in a St Albans commuters Facebook group believe the Government has failed to stand up for passengers.
Commuters complained of delays, cancellations and overcrowding on Thameslink services following a botched timetable change in May.
She is unsurprised at peoples' virulence, saying: "I am a commuter and I am angry as well. It seems like people have been working against the interests of passengers.
Mrs Main will be meeting a transport minister and will press the point the final timetable must meet its deadline in December. She has requested commuters continue to get in touch with her office with their queries.
A DfT spokesperson said: "We recognise some Thameslink passengers experienced significant delays as a result of disruption caused by timetable changes earlier this year.
"Prof Stephen Glaister's interim report sets out how a series of complex issues across the rail industry contributed to this. We welcome these findings and are working with the industry to ensure such disruption never happens again.
"We took immediate action to improve services and passenger information and establish industry-funded compensation schemes. We are monitoring closely for sustained improvements by GTR.

Clark General has been in business for the better part of a century.
Our long history began on September 4, 1937, when Grandfather Luther S. Clark, and his son, Millard M. Clark, established a construction company in Black Rock, Arkansas.
As with many construction companies during that era, production was halted during World War II, but Millard started back after the war, and in 1954, the company was purchased by Luther's son, C. Leroy Clark. C.L. Clark Jr. purchased the family business from Leroy in 1980, and Corbet L. Clark III began working there upon graduating from the University of Arkansas in 2005.
Over the years, styles, materials, methods and equipment have changed, but the foundation laid by Luther and Millard Clark has remained strong because it was built on honesty, hard work, family values and a commitment to community. If you stop by the office, you'll notice a sign over our door that asks, "If you don't have time to do it right, when will you find time to do it over?" That's how we approach each and every project—we do it right the first time.


They are part of a long-term, consistent advertising strategy in which your goal is to gain greater awareness and not generate leads within a small audience (e.g., a specific niche market, a small town).
You are advertising a special event where the goal is to get people to register for your event.
The advertisement will produce a tool that you can use for credibility marketing purposes (e.g., San Diego Magazine's Best Financial Advisors profile where you purchase a plaque of the profile to put in your lobby or you hand out reprints to prospects).
You are advertising in order to support a charity, association or organization that you are trying to build or deepen a relationship with (e.g., advertising in a program for a local charity's gala).
Even in these situations, our experience has been that results have been mixed at best.
A general rule of thumb is if someone is reaching out to you to do an advertisement, it is probably not a good idea. Instead, you should look at how advertising plays into your overall marketing plan and then reach out to media outlets that make sense with your strategy.


The President's declaration today is dangerous pandering to a small but vocal segment of his political base, and a disturbing sign that his administration aims to shift the longstanding balance between respect for all faiths and fundamental principles of non-discrimination and equality for all.
This order invokes "religious liberty" as a license to undermine women's access to contraception, and to chip away at the separation between church and state by promising churches and other houses of worship broader leeway on political lobbying – something the majority of Americans – including people of faith – oppose.
We remain vigilant. We will continue to push back on every outrageous attempt to curtail the equal rights and equal dignity of women, of LGBTQ people, of religious minorities and of every other group subject to attack under this administration.

Nandor Mikola – Fantasi, 100x70cm
Nándor Mikola, 27.11.1911 – 3.5-2006
by Bo Sundström
Nándor Mikola was born in Hungary where he was trained as a litographer besides attending the Budapest Art Academy. In 1936 he moved to Finland to help decorate a Hungarian restaurant in Helsingfors. He stayed on and his big breakthrough came in 1953 at the Strindberg Art Salon in Helsingfors. He was a passionate lover of nature and besides observing the natural surroundings as painting subjects he would often go outdoors (by the beach or in a canoe), and he even made a number of films trying to convey to the audience his own love of nature and folklore. He experimented with many techniques, but always returned to watercolour. In time he freed himself of the subject and simplified the images to an abstract form with merely light and shadow along with the rhythm and the tone of the colours. Though very attached to Finland, his new home country, he travelled a lot in Europe and the Far East. He was greatly moved by the French painter, Georges Rouault, who used black outlines and painted very dark watercolours, but he also found the characteristics of Japanese and Chinese art very inspirational. He has often been referred to as the "Father of Finnish Watercolour" and in 1979 he was appointed professor. He found it important to paint every single day, he taught numerous pupils, had many exhibits and there are at least three mono-biographies published with his watercolour works. The Professor Nándor Mikola Art Foundation was established in 1991.
Ia Säflund
by Jacqueline Stare
As a child and a teenager Ia Säflund was often taken to museums and other interesting places by her grandmother. In addition to that she loved to read, and early on she started to copy drawings from fairy-tale books illustrated by Elsa Beskow (1874-1953) and John Bauer (1882-1918). Once she had children of her own, her interest of fairy-tale illustrations rekindled. After having finished art school she began working as an illustrator and she has also been teaching acrylic painting for many years. As an illustrator she often works in small formats and that fact is reflected in her watercolours. The largest are about 35×26 cm. Only quite recently has she stepped up to larger sizes. In 2011 she saw the works of Emil Nolde (1867-1956) at the Nordic Watercolour Museum, and they made a great impression on her. She took up painting on thin Japanese paper in a new and unconventional way. Her first step towards using more striking colours was taken in 2006 during a travel to India, where the encounter with the bright colours of the country left a deep impression. She uses watercolour with gouache, primarily white bodycolour, and she also mixes watercolour with wax or ink. She finds inspiration in Chinese and Japanese ink drawing and has made many ink drawings in her time. She admires artists like Anders Zorn (1860-1920), J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) and the lesser-known Swedish painter, Egron Lundgren (1815-75), whose Indian watercolours she finds very fascinating.
Teaching has always been very rewarding to her. She thoroughly enjoys the task of conveying basic skills and information to her pupils, but she also finds it essential to stay curious and open-minded to be a successful tutor. Nobody ever gets "full-fledged" as a watercolour artist, since the medium has such a mind of its own, but Ia Säflund finds it important to stay true to herself while still finding new ways of experimenting.
Torbjörn Svanström
One of Torbjörn Svanström's primary inspirational sources is nature, and he often paints outdoors to be able to catch the light and the changing expressions of the seasons. Among his favourite objects are the trunks and branches of trees as well as poppies. He is intrigued by the beauty of the flowers in contrast to their connection with drug dealing, abuse – and medicine, since they are the source of opium. For many years he worked as an illustrator for the Femina magazine and as an art director. At the end of the 1980s he decided to spend more time painting and teaching. He teaches his pupils that drawing skills and knowledge of composition are essential for all who aim at expressing themselves. It is no use to try the short-cut. Any lack of basic knowledge and training will catch up with you sooner or later, whether your works are realistic or abstract. Life drawing is a perfect way of keeping up your skills, and for the moment Torbjörn Svanström uses a method where he lays down the basic form with black Chinese ink before adding the finer lines of the figure. He is very quick when depicting models – under one minute per position. For the longer positions (say 5 minutes) he will use most of the time just looking at the model and then finally capture the position very quickly. When he wants to produce more copies of a certain image he will sometimes choose to work with watercoloured etchings or litographic prints. He has found a printing company that can provide the old-fashioned techniques and where he is able to control and work with the whole process himself. He seems to have found a lifestyle that suits him perfectly, where he can immerse in his own creativity in various ways, travel in Sweden and abroad, teach, and get response from his audience at exhibitions.
Marie Gauthier
Marie Gauthier learned watercolour painting at the Gerlesborg School and from the 1990s she was part of the group that traveled with Arne Isacsson to France to paint. She has painted watercolour for about 35 years, full-time for the last 15 years. Since her debut in 1989 she has been very busy exhibiting (40 solo shows, a juried exhibition and numerous Swedish and international group exhibitions). She paints using pure watercolour – no mixed media, but she never tires of the watercolour technique. In her paintings the colours flow and there are strong contrasts between light and dark. Most of her paintings are landscapes – never from photos, but from her memories. Her landscape paintings tend to become abstractions, they are inner visions of her experience and memory, stripped of excess details. For Marie Gauthier it is very important to find the continuity and rhythm of the painting. This is a technical as well as a mental process and paramount for her joy of painting. It isn't enough for her to paint pretty pictures – there must be some substance – a meaning behind the painting that can connect the artist and the viewer. The constant challenge of the media ensures that she never tires of being a watercolour artist
Therese Szatek
by Håkan Bull
Suburbian environments are represented in much of Therese Szatek's art – not that the idea is to portray the suburbs as such, but her paintings and drawings of seemingly normal and everyday objects and buildings evoke some uneasiness. Even though the works seem to be based on the visible reality of daily life, the extreme details and the unusual compositions make the images more than realistic, surreal so to speak. I come to think of the concept of "defamiliarization" expressed by the Russian writer Viktor Sjklovskij in 1917: The purpose of art is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known. The technique of art is to make objects "unfamiliar". This theory influenced the modern avant-garde during the 20th century, especially the surrealism in arts which I connect to Therese Szatek. Her images become psychological pictures, inner visions of dreams as much as depictions of an exterior reality. Regardless of technique, Therese Szatek creates "slow art". The clarity she seeks in the images requires a laborious way of working: the drawings, which often are quite large, are comprised of small lines using quite hard pencils. Slowly she brings forth colour and darkness from the white sheet of paper. With watercolour she works in the same manner: slowly adding small areas of colour, often using dry-brush. Even though she suffers from fear of the empty paper, she is not dogmatic when it comes to watercolour techniques. She will use whichever technique she pleases in a manner that will give her the desired effect. She is currently working with watercolour collages. She has previously made graphic collages, so it seems like a logical step. The first works are ready: various details of chair legs and their shadows in different positions – united in a struggle between the pattern effect and realism. It will be interesting to see the continuation.
Maj Simons
Some years ago Maj Simons was asked at an art class to send in one picture to illustrate the first five years of her childhood. A single picture was impossible for her to pin out – the memories came flooding back to her: happiness, sorrow, war, peace. In time she had created around 60 watercolours (10×15 cm) all accompanied by short texts. These are now published in the book "Minnesbilder – från en krigstida barndom" (Memories of a childhood during wartime). Maj Simons (born 1939) is at the same time describing the child she was then and the adult woman she is now. I found the book very captivating and it probably will have the same effect on others of my generation born around 1930-40, but it should be equally appealing to readers of all ages.

Q: How to make a fragment open by default in Android? How to sign button which is clicked? I'm making football application and it has 4 buttons on the top side of the screen. Every button will open different fragment. Now when I open the app by default it's showing 4 buttons and empty field under them where will be shown content of fragments. What should I do so that one of fragments will be opened by default(as MainActivity but it should stay fragment)? Further, how can I sign(note, mark) the choosen button so that user will see which button is selected now?
Thanks, if something is unclear tell me and I'll explain further

A: You can either add a Fragment statically using the activity's layout XML:
<fragment android:name="com.example.myapp.myfragment"
              android:id="@+id/my_fragment"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent" />

Or you could add it dynamically when your activity starts up:
Fragment myFragment = new MyFragment();
FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.add(R.id.fragment_container, myFragment).commit();

A: You could read this: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/index.html where you also have a sample.
But basically I see 3 options.

*

*Like the answer by fractalwrench, to add the fragment through your xml layout files.

*Also like the answer by fractalwrench, add the fragment dynamically by replacing it in a container view, like a FrameLayout in your xml layout files.

*You said you have 4 buttons for 4 different fragments. Then I would use the viewpager to swtich between the fragments. You can find an example here: https://github.com/codepath/android_guides/wiki/ViewPager-with-FragmentPagerAdapter.
Anyway, option 2 is probably good for you as well. :)

This is a quick picture I snapped of my current components that I take to the field. I have been using this setup for a few years now, but recently after listening to an episode of RC Heli Nation found a smaller more powerful server power supply (www.rchelination.com/setting-hp-dps-1200fb-power-supply). I purchased two from Ebay and two from a gentleman on the forum (RCHN) that was isolating the ground very nicely. Now all I need is to find a nice case to put all of this in and I'll be set.

Joydrop: Opera, acting, music & mayhem
by W. Andrew Powell July 16, 2001
written by W. Andrew Powell July 16, 2001
Once you see Tara Slone burn her way through unforgettable Joydrop tunes like "Beautiful" or "Sometimes Wanna Die", you might find it hard to believe that before she was singing for the band, she wanted to be an opera singer.
As she says in her bio, "I received a scholarship at Dalhousie University and did a year of music program there. I quickly realized that although I loved singing, I didn't want to spend every minute of my life living and breathing opera."
So what did she do? "I left school, pierced my nose, got a tattoo, moved to Montreal and joined a rock band." But it was still a while before she auditioned for Joydrop and the only reason she actually ended up in Toronto at all was so she could pursue a career in acting.
After six months of struggling and feeling miserable because she wasn't singing, she found an ad in a newspaper – "It's funny thinking back to that, because I almost didn't bother to call. I spoke to someone named Tony [Rabalao] (I thought he was Italian) on the phone and made arrangements to meet at the Joydrop rehearsal space. The connection was instant and the rest is history."
The first big deal for the band was getting tremendous airplay for their song "Beautiful", which was on Metasexual, their first album. From there, things got crazy and after getting noticed by Tommy Boy Records, they signed a record deal that has now resulted in the fantastic release, Viberate. "Sometimes Wanna Die" is the first single off this new album and already people have gone nuts for it. A lot of hit radio stations have even picked it up and have been playing it in high rotation.
Joydrop
It didn't hurt the band's popularity that they filmed the video for "Sometimes Wanna Die" with veteran rocker, Tommy Lee Jones (of Method's Of Mayhem/Pam-Anderson-videotape fame).
Collectively, singer Tara Slone, bassist Tom McKay, drummer Tony Rabalao and guitarist Thomas Payne have all combined their efforts to write their music. With four writers things can get a little harder to finish and as Payne said in an interview with UtterMusic.com, "A lot of bands have just one songwriter and the other musicians just augment that. With us, with four writers, it's extremely difficult in a lot of respects. You've got four different visions but you have to make them work together so they're all coming from the same place. Basically it's a harder demo process, because everyone will bring in their songs and we demo tons and tons of songs and it's really hard to pick the ones that go on the record."
It's pretty rare to have so many writers in a band, but Joydrop is a rare band indeed. A fine example of that is the Theremin that Slone plays on the new CD and at concerts. What's a Theremin you ask? An explanation at ThereminWorld.com describes it as a "unique [instrument] in that it is played without being touched. Two antennas protrude from the theremin – one controlling pitch, and the other controlling volume. As a hand approaches the vertical antenna, the pitch gets higher. Approaching the horizontal antenna makes the volume softer."
Whatever else you want to say about Slone and the rest of the band, they're also really thoughtful, intelligent people (just ask Slone about her views on women in the music biz – especially in heavier bands) – unlike a lot of other bands that I've met. It's a great quality and it's obvious once you start listening to them that there's a lot more to them beneath the surface. Kind of like an iceberg – except that's not what I think of when I think of a "joy drop".
Keep your mind out of the gutter though, the last guy (from what I heard, one Dean Blundel who is currently with Edge 102) who got lewd & crude with Slone ended up on the receiving end of her writing talents. "American Dreamgirl" is in fact a statement about that whole situation and the beauty myth as well. But, regardless of what you listen to the band for – their social commentaries or their rock tunes – try to keep an ear out for Slone's occasional slip back into her operatic style. It's pretty hard to catch, but maybe that's the little drop of joy in the band's slightly dark, musical world?
Joydrop will be performing at this year's Edge Electric Christmas at the Kool Haus on December 14th along with Bif Naked and Swollen Members.

Remember the days of drinking water through a garden hose in the middle of summer? Well – not all water is safe to drink.
The Sawyer water filter is awesome! It is simple to operate, reliable, and is a great value. The biggest drawback of the Sawyer is using it with multiple people. It can be done but you're either all sucking on the same straw or using a lot of time and energy filling small bags or bottles with dirty water and squeezing through the filter. I figured there had to be a better way to use this great filter.
Like the name would indicate, the Sawyer Bucket Kit adapts the Sawyer for bucket use. Once a hole is drilled in the supply bucket the components are assembled (instructions included) – and then the Sawyer is attached. That's it.
Currently, the needed drill bit is not included as I didn't want to add the expense for something that people may have already. Regardless – any local Harbor Freight, Home Depot or Lowe's carries the bit and of course Amazon.
Here is one of my most recent trials with the Sawyer Bucket Kit.
#1: Started with a bucket and threw in a bunch of dirt and added a couple gallons of water.
#2: Used a towel as a pre-filter to remove the larger particles.
#3: Towel caught a lot of crap. A finer pre-filter for capturing more of the larger particles would be suggested(coffee filters good for this).
#4: Below is the water ready to go through the Sawyer.
#5: Filtering operation in progress.
#6: Close up of the stream of filtered water exiting the filter.
#7: This is what the non-filtered water looked like sitting in the bucket.
#8: Filtered water is crystal clear.
I was pretty happy with the results. I was interested in seeing how well the water flowed from the bucket through the Sawyer as well as what the water would look like afterward. I was not surprised that the water looked crystal clear after all that is what is supposed to happen. The flow rate was excellent at around 5-6 gallons an hour.
I drank the entire glass of filtered water and found it had no off-taste and tasted like….well…..water. Granted this test was dealing really with only sediment and suspended particles in water. I have no way of knowing about potential pathogens or bacteria but I am still alive so I consider the test a success.
Currently, the kit is priced at $10.00 with free shipping. This is an introductory rate and will likely go up to $12.00 which I think is still a bargain. Add the Sawyer Mini Water Filter for less than $20 and a high volume filtration system can be put together for around $30. Not bad.
You can visit SawyerBucketKit.com to order or simply click on this THIS LINK which will take you to Paypal if you're interested.
Kits will start shipping no later than June 6th and very likely much earlier.

Bluffton accommodations tax committee recommends $91,700 in spending this quarter
SCOTT THOMPSON
Bluffton's Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee recommended approving about 78 percent of total requests from several nonprofit groups at its Tuesday meeting, with most of that money to be distributed this quarter.
Accommodations tax money is accrued from stays at hotels and other lodging facilities, and the funds are distibuted by some municipalities to nonprofit groups to promote tourism.
In Bluffton, the seven-member advisory committee reviews funding requests quarterly and recommends spending for Town Council approval. Council can then fund the recommended amount, a different amount or deny funding altogether. The amount the committee receives every quarter comes from a 3-percent local accommodations tax and a portion of the state's 2-percent tax.
The $146,700 requested this quarter was far more than the roughly $102,000 the committee had available. Of the $114,200 that was recommended Tuesday, $91,700 will be distributed this quarter. The other $22,500 will be doled out evenly throughout the next three quarters to the Farmer's Market of Bluffton, which made an annual request of $30,000 on Tuesday. Committee chairman Bret Anthony said the committee had $10,080 to carry over to the next quarter.
The only group the committee didn't recommend the full requested amount was the Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce, which requested $40,000, but was only recommended for $7,500.
Though chamber representatives touted the organization as the only chamber in Beaufort County that promotes the entire county and said the money would go toward advertising various events and tourist attractions in regional magazines and newspapers, committee members had concerns over how much the money would benefit Bluffton.
"The festivals listed (for promotion) are heavily weighted to Hilton Head, Beaufort and St. Helena Island," Anthony said.
Liz Mitchell, the marketing manager for the chamber, said the campaign would feature Bluffton-specific advertising.
"There will be photos of Bluffton and summaries of Bluffton events in our ads," Mitchell said. "If we get less than the $40,000, we will probably adjust our ad buys accordingly. The more funding there is, the more attention the town would get."
But committee member Judith Hughes questioned whether the services were necessary.
"We pay the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce to market us, and they do a good job of it," Hughes said. "My concern is we'd be paying for duplication of services when we don't have enough money to pay the $40,000."
Other recommendations included:
• $35,000 for the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce, which automatically receives 30 percent of the state accommodations tax money because it serves as the town's official marketer. The recommended money will be specifically geared toward the town's new branding campaign. The town's new official branding is scheduled to be revealed to the public Feb. 19. The campaign will run from February through June and will heavily target digital, television and radio audiences throughout the Southeast, senior marketing manager Lindsay Fruchtl said.
• $30,000 for the whole year and $7,500 this quarter for the Bluffton Farmer's Market to go primarily toward advertising and hiring police for the weekly event on Calhoun Street. Market president Kathy Shamblen said local advertising has been effective in attracting visitors, so the group now needs to focus more of its efforts regionally to attract even more visitors and wean itself off accommodations tax money.
• $11,700 for the Lowcountry Tourism Commission and Lowcountry Visitors Center & Museum, which is charged by the state to serve Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties. The group typically asks for 6 percent of each municipality's annual accommodations tax money in the four-county area. The money will go toward advertising online and in regional publications, as well as printing a comprehensive guidebook with information about businesses, restaurants and tourist attractions in the area the group serves.
• $18,000 for the Old Town Merchants Society that will be used for distributing a tourism guide throughout the state and southeast Georgia.
• $12,000 for the May River Theatre Company to help advertise and finance two of its upcoming productions. Chief operating officer Ed Dupuis said the company is a heavy contributor in Bluffton and attracts many out-of-town visitors to its shows.
The recommendations will go before council during its meeting at Town Hall on Tuesday.

Q: How do I break results sets into smaller subsets for subtotaling/hierarchical purposes in PHP? I have some fairly sizable results sets being returned from a MySQL DB that I sometimes need to break into smaller sets for either:

*

*Adding together numbers within the subsets for subtotaling purposes; or

*For creating a hierarchical table.

The tricky part though is that I sometimes need to divide the results set up more than once, and the number of subdivisions can change per table.
For example, I might have to break up a results set by year and then by month in order to produce subtotals for each year/month combination.
I'm trying to write a PHP function that can take the results set and the columns to split the data up on and then produce a new results set properly divided up.
For example, if I split data up by year and then month, I'd want to have the following structure returned:
array(
  'divider' => 'year',
  'sets' => array(
    [0] => array(
      'divider' => 'month',
      'sets' => array(
        [0] => array(), //Row returned from DB
        [1] => array(), //Row returned from DB
        [2] => array(), //Row returned from DB
        ...
      )
    ),
    [1] => array(
      'divider' => 'month',
      'sets' => array(
        [0] => array(), //Row returned from DB
        [1] => array(), //Row returned from DB
        [2] => array(), //Row returned from DB
        ...
      )
    )
    ...
  )
)

Is there any way to do this recursively or in a way so that regardless of how many subdivisions there are, I always get back the type of multidimensional array that I want?
Thank you.
