Baahng Gallery celebrates its 2020 reopening with More Than One Way Home, an exhibition featuring the gallery's represented artists: Sophie Matisse, Janet Taylor Pickett, and Zhang Hongtu. The exhibition offers a glimpse into the struggles of the artists and their coming to terms with their individual challenges. Sophie, the great-granddaughter of Henri Matisse and step-granddaughter of Marcel Duchamp, is an American oil painter working in New York City; Janet is an African American multi-media artist working on the West Coast; Hongtu is a Muslim Chinese artist who has been working in New York since 1982. The exhibition acknowledges and affirms that home, for these artists, is not situated in nostalgia. Rather, through a cyclical process of revisitation, they find home in both the present and future potential. More Than One Way Home follows a journey through each artist's rite of passage in life and is a compelling visualization of distinct, individual expressive forms. Baahng Gallery is open Monday thru Friday, noon to 3pm, and by appointment.
Selected works from Sophie Matisse's 'Be Back in Five Minutes' series are strategically installed in the gallery. Returning to renowned paintings by Gustave Courbet, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Charles Wilson Peale through her unique lens, she appropriates and embellishes upon, or subtracts from, recognizable works from art history. The interplay between absence and presence in these haunting paintings is evocative. Featured as well is her most recent painting, 'Homeward 1'. In this contemplative autobiographical tondo completed during the pandemic quarantine, the artist positions an errant chess piece peering out over a window ledge into the hazy verdant void, invoking solitude and the uncertain but hopeful future ahead. More Than One Way Home highlights some of the most intriguing works from her celebrated series and is her inaugural show at Baahng Gallery commemorating her gallery representation.

'Mappings of Memory', a survey showcasing Janet Taylor Picket's works, introduces selected paintings, collages, sculptures, and quilts from the 1990s through 2020. Her experiential work chronicles her journey as an African American woman, daughter, mother, and artist. Images drawn from art history, Africa, America and Europe, past and present, coexist in her often-ornate collages and paintings, defying linear timeframes and logical geographic or cultural relationships. The inclusion of the shipping crates in which the works were transported to the gallery adds a poignant historical dimension to the installation, referencing both her personal odyssey and that of her ancestors. The suggestive titles of the works on view reflect her creative vision: 'Spirit Catchers', 'Hot House', 'Melon Dress', 'Exotica Botanica', 'Thoughtful Resilience', and 'She Has An Agency,' the latter produced in 2020. These works constitute the artist's confessional narrative circling back with newly found wisdom in life as well as in art. More Than One Way Home inaugurates Pickett's representation with Baahng Gallery and presents her first New York exhibition.
Zhang Hongtu's video, 'Van Gogh/Bodhidharma', is the centerpiece of his installation. This mesmerizing video production builds on his seven-year project (2007 – 2014), a set of 39 ink paintings that rework Van Gogh's 39 extant self-portrait oil paintings in the style of classical Zen portraits of Bodhidharma. Revealed in both this video and the original endeavor upon which it was based are parallels in the lives and aesthetics of Zhang and Van Gogh. The artist compels viewers in both iterations of this project to reconsider Van Gogh's fascination with Asian aesthetics, registering a more philosophical connection and inner resonance between the European post-impressionist artist and the East. Reflecting upon this project, Zhang expresses his approach as one that 'dares to mate a horse with an ox'. Framing the video are wall texts quoting provocative passages from Van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo and to Paul Gauguin. More Than One Way Home marks the launch of Zhang's visionary 'Van Gogh/Bodhidharma Project'—a quixotic effort to unite his ink paintings with the original painted portraits—and announces his official gallery representation with Baahng Gallery.

Press Release at the MOCA NYC.
Godzilla vs. The Art World: 1990-2001
May 13 – September 12, 2021
Godzilla vs. The Art World: 1990-2001 will examine the work of Godzilla: Asian American Art Network, which launched a generation of young artists and curators. It catalyzed a needed political and aesthetic conversation at a critical time in the histories of alternative arts, "multiculturalist" politics, and the shifting Asian diaspora. And it produced a body of exhibitions, collaborative projects, critical writing, and connections that reshaped the contours of American art.
Godzilla: Asian American Art Network was founded by curator Margo Machida and artists Bing Lee and Ken Chu in 1990 in New York, taking the name of the feared Japanese pop monster. Their goal was to "establish a dynamic forum" to "foster information exchange, mutual support, documentation, and networking among the expanding numbers of Asian American visual artists all across the United States."
The founders chose not to incorporate as a not-for-profit, instead creating a roving, mostly-volunteer, flexible organization. Membership, though never formalized by dues, quickly expanded: after Godzilla's famed open letter to the Whitney Museum, over 200 artists registered — a racially, aesthetically, and politically diverse group. The members of Godzilla gathered to show each other's work in "slide slams," challenged institutionalized racism in the arts, wrote arts criticism, threw parties, co-organized exhibitions, debated politics, and spread the word about artist opportunities.
This exhibition will be the first ever to focus on the art and legacy of Godzilla: Asian American Art Network. It will include key artworks, original artifacts, historical ephemera and documentation to tell the story of this seminal group.
Godzilla: Asian American Art Network will also be examined within a larger narrative, from the politicized formation of Asian American identity in the '70s to the resurgence of arts collectives today. In a time when arts institutions still struggle to be inclusive, and many young artists see collectivism and organizing as inseparable from their arts practice, Godzilla offers a needed story of artists taking their fate into their own hands.
The exhibition will be co-curated by Herb Tam, MOCA's Curator and Director of Exhibitions, and Ryan Lee Wong, guest curator.

Baahng Gallery is pleased to present I DARE TO MATE A HORSE WITH AN OX, the gallery's inaugural solo exhibition of the highly celebrated works of Zhang Hongtu, a Chinese-born, New York-based artist and forerunner of the Chinese "Political Pop" art movement. The exhibition will be on view at the gallery from September 27 through November 8, with an opening reception with the artist to be held on Friday, September 27, from 6 to 8 pm.
To dare to mate a horse with an ox is to dare to break down the zygotic barriers that maintain the separation of species. This notion of doing the impossible and breaking down barriers has been the lodestar of Zhang Hongtu's life and five decade-long career. As a Muslim outsider in China, then as a Chinese exile in America, through his works, he has continually sought to disintegrate dividing walls in culture, politics, and time. His works involve thoughtful juxtapositions of critique with humor, and the appropriation of images of authority figures and cultural icons, for the purpose of deflating the power of such formidably divisive influences. While each work captures and contemplates a multi-layered discourse on competing ideas, the exhibition as a whole unexpectedly proposes universality and relevancy.
I DARE TO MATE A HORSE WITH AN OX highlights selected works from Zhang's series Shansui, Political Pop, and Van Gogh/Bodhidharma. Van Gogh/Bodhidharma consists of 39 ink paintings created over the course of seven years, 2007-2014. They are the Van Gogh "self-portraits" merged into the style of the classical Zen portraits of Buddhist monk Bodhidharma. His morphing of Van Gogh and Bodhidharma into one is a remarkable display of the artist's masterful ability to dissolve distinctions between two icons. Also on view are: Bada! Bada!!-11, #2, 2011, a lopsided map of China facing a mob of angry fish; Walking Monkey, 2016, a warning on a disrupted ecosystem; Landscape, Out of the Focus, 2011, a questioning of the assumption of near-sightedness; Long Live Chairman Mao Series, 1987-1995; Zodiac Figures, 2002; Mai Dang Lao, 2002; and Six-Pack of Kekou-Kele, 2002.
Zhang Hongtu was born in Gansu, China, in 1943. He attended the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts in Beijing 1964-1969, moved to New York in 1982, and attended Art Students League 1982-1986. Selected solo exhibitions include at Queens Museum, Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, Kansas, the Connecticut College Charles E. Shain Library, The Bronx Museum of Fine Arts, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan. Selected group exhibitions at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museu Picasso, Spain, Brooklyn Museum, Wexner Center for the Arts, Ohio, Princeton University Art Museum, Israel Museum, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark, El Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Cuba, The Hall for Contemporary Art, Hamburg, Germany, Kunst und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Bonn, Germany, and Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taiwan.

By Savanna Maude, THE TOPEKA CAPITAL-JOURNAL
Zhang Hongtu, an internationally acclaimed artist, will debut his first solo show in the Midwest on Tuesday at Kansas State University.
The exhibition, titled "Culture Mixmaster Zhang Hongtu," will be installed in the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art through Dec. 22.
The exhibition brings together early and recent works highlighting Hongtu's expressions of his hybrid cultural roots.
Hongtu grew up in China as a member of its Muslim minority, suffering persecution for his religion and his political beliefs under the regime of People's Republic of China founder and Communist Party chairman Mao Zedong.
Hongtu traveled around China as a young artist and was heavily influenced by his study trip to Dunhuang in the western province of Gansu.
Dunhuang was an important stop along the network of trade routes known as the Silk Road, which connected Europe and Africa to the Middle East and Asia. Through the Silk Road, Buddhism traveled from India to China, resulting in the establishment of Buddhist cave temples around Dunhuang between the fourth and 14th centuries. The cave temples featured painting styles different from what Hongtu learned in art school and showed signs of the mural artists' awareness of European painting.
In 1982, Hongtu moved to New York City to study art.
His works show a lifelong interest in the cycle of travel, immigration, transmission of ideas and cultural cross-pollination.
Included in the exhibit are an oil painting applying the signature style of Vincent van Gogh to a landscape scene from a famous Chinese ink painting, and a Ping Pong table that requires players to avoid letting the ball fall through cutouts in the shape of the head of Chairman Mao.
Hongtu will speak at K-State at the Art in Motion festival on Oct. 6. He also will speak about Buddhist cave temples along the Silk Road on Oct. 9 at the Spencer Museum of Art on the University of Kansas campus.
The Beach Museum of Art is free to the public, and is open from 10 a.m. to 5p.m. Wednesday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

By Megan Moser, The Mercury, Manhattan, Kansas, October 7th, 2018
Zhang Hongtu seemed genuinely excited to be in Manhattan on Wednesday.
The New York City-based artist and his wife, Miaoling, were in the Little Apple for the opening of his exhibition Culture Mixmaster, which is at K-State's Beach Museum of Art through December. Zhang's It's his first solo show in the Midwest.
During a preview last week, Zhang, a youthful septuagenarian with white hair and trendy glasses, said he was thrilled with the way the exhibit had turned out.
"With this show, I didn't come here to see the process of installation," Zhang said, complimenting the museum's curators. "It's beyond my imagination. It's still my work, but under a different concept of installation, lighting."
Zhang's work, like his life, is a blending of the East and the West.
Zhang grew up in China but has lived in America since the 1980s, so he's now been in the U.S. as long as he had been in China. He likes to say he's 100-percent Chinese and 100-percent American.
"When you see the show, you'll see works that mix the tradition from Western European painting with classical Chinese painting," curator Aileen June Wang said. "And all of his life, Hongtu has been thinking about this question and celebrating the richness of cultural exchange and cultural mixing."
The pieces on display show a playful combination of influences and represent Zhang's interest in the effects of travel and migration on culture.
The works include classic blue-and-white Chinese ceramics in the distinctive shape of Coke bottles, and a self-portrait that blends the styles of Pablo Picasso and Leonardo DaVinci's "Mona Lisa." That portrait was first made on the computer with Photoshop, and printed with an inkjet printer Wang said. Zhang later painted a version of it, so the printed version that's on display at the Beach is actually the original, she said.
One entire gallery is devoted to a reimagining of Vincent Van Gogh's 39 portraits as those of the Zen Bodhidharma.
Perhaps the most fun piece is an "interactive sculpture" called "Ping Pong Mao," a table tennis table whose surface features cutout silhouettes of Chairman Mao Zedong.
On Saturday the museum staged a tournament using the table.
Zhang said the experience of playing on it — and trying to keep the ball from falling through the cutouts — is similar to the experience of living in China after the Cultural Revolution.
"The situation in China is still like this," Zhang said. "You can criticize someone else, but not political leaders. So nothing changes, politically."
He mentioned that his wife was a ping-pong champion at her school when she was a girl. Miaoling shook her head furiously, embarrassed by the attention.
Ping pong was an important tool in diplomatic relations between the United States in China in the 1970s. The use of the ping-pong table is another example of east-west culture exchange.
Zhang grew up in China as part of the Muslim minority. Because of his family's religious and political beliefs, he said they suffered persecution under Mao, and he often felt like an outsider.
His family relocated many times between the Chinese Civil War and the beginning of the Cultural Revolution in 1966. At that time, he saw the political movement as edgy and was eager for change, so he supported it. He began to have doubts, though, when he saw the violence that arose from the revolution. He said he felt he had been fooled by someone he believed in.
He attended art school in China, where anything the students produced had to fit within the narrow scope of communist ideals, and there was a heavy emphasis on depicting Chairman Mao.
After college, Zhang continued to travel and immigrated to the United States in 1982 to find artistic freedom. His wife followed in 1984 with their son. Zhang and his wife now live in Woodside, Queens, a diverse neighborhood where Zhang told The New York Times "I've never felt like a foreigner."
He got early attention for works like his 1989 "Last Banquet," a version of "The Last Supper" that substitutes 13 Maos for Jesus and his disciples, a work that was part of a Guggenheim exhibit last year. Ironically, that piece was censored, though Zhang said.
Though he hasn't lived in China for 30 years, Zhang said his view of China is still relevant today, as Mao's influence persists. That said, he moved away from using Mao's likeness in the 1990s.
Certainly the most attention-grabbing piece in the exhibition is the 45-by-12-foot "Great Wall with Gates III."
Zhang made the first version of that work in 2009 for the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
He made the current version especially for the Beach exhibit. It's a digital image of the Great Wall of China altered with Photoshop to include a number of gates.
"I used the Great Wall not only about China, but basically about walls. Walls always divide, always stop people (from) going through," he said. "I picked the image of the wall but with many many gates to change the function of the wall. Make it playful, not to block anymore."
The exhibit's title wall features a reproduction of a painting called Two Monkeys. Beach Museum curator Aileen June Wang said she asked Zhang whether the monkeys in the painting represented him, and he handed her a card that said, "You can ask me anything except about the monkeys," she recalled, laughing.
But Wang said she and museum director Linda Duke have a theory. In Chinese literature there is a classic called "Journey to the West" about the adventures of a monkey god who accompanies a Chinese monk as he travels to India to get sutras and bring them back to China to contribute to the study of Buddhism.
"The journey of that monkey god is similar, or Hongtu feels some affinity, to the adventures of that character," Wang said. Zhang smiled as she explained this but neither confirmed nor denied the hypothesis.

Press Release at the Beach Museum of Art.
Internationally acclaimed artist Zhang Hongtu has called many different places home and experienced life as an outsider at different times. Hegrew up in China as a member of the Muslim minority and because of his religious and political backgrounds, suffered persecution during the regime of Chinese Communist Party founder Mao Zedong. In 1982, he moved to New York City to study art and start a new life. This large exhibition, the first solo show of the artist in the Midwest, brings together early and up-to-the-minute recent works highlighting the artist's endeavors in expressing his hybrid cultural roots.
Zhang's travels around China as a young artist, most especially his study trip to Dunhuang in the western province of Gansu, proved seminal to his development. Dunhuang was an important stop along the network of trade routes known as the Silk Road, which connected Europe and Africa to the Middle East and Asia. Through the Silk Road, Buddhism traveled from India to China, resulting in the establishment of Buddhist cave temples around Dunhuang between the fourth and fourteenth centuries. The cave temples featured painting styles different from what Zhang had learned in art school and showed signs of the mural artists' awareness of European painting.Works on display at "Culture Mixmaster" demonstrate Zhang's lifelong interest in the cycle of travel, immigration, transmission of ideas, and cultural cross-pollination. Included are an oil painting applying the signature style of Vincent van Gogh to a landscape scene from a famous Chinese ink painting, and a ping-pong table that requires players to avoid letting the ball fall through cut-outs in the shape of the head of Chairman Mao.
Major support for this exhibition is provided by a grant from the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation's Lincoln & Dorothy I. Deihl Community Grant Program, with additional sponsorship by Anderson Bed & Breakfast and Terry and Tara Cupps.

Given that the serotonin is still pumping from the refreshingly glorious Eagles victory (and I don't want to hear anything from you naysayers about parallels to last year's 56-21 beatdown of the Lions, at least not until Wednesday), I'm reluctant to address the topic of Tom Brady. Why focus on badness when there is so much goodness in the air?
Still, despite the fact that it's not Eagles-related, my role as the Internet's Leading Authority on Quarterback-Crippling Tackles, a.k.a. KillShots(tm) means that I will need to weigh in on the Brady hit. Didn't want to do it, felt I owed to him.
Whilst some members of the Pats are demanding justice this afternoon, I'd like to offer an official (!) ruling. First off, I don't think Bernard Pollard meant to hit Brady in the knee, much less end Tom Terrific's (isn't he dreamy!) season. I think Pollard was trying to make a play with a blocker on his back and he ended up blowing up the NFL MVP's season.
HOWEVER, the absence of intent does not excuse the act. The other football has a really appropriate phrase for a play like that: it's called a clumsy challenge. They give you cards for it. You can't go in with your studs up, with two feet, from behind, etc. That's how dudes get hurt.
Similarly, Bernard Pollard may or may not have meant to hurt Tom Brady (I can't imagine he did; if this was a playoff game…different story). Intent aside, he still tackled him in a very reckless manner, one that is highly likely to result in an injury. He has to know better than that. Even in the midst of the violence, he can't be driving his shoulder beneath the knee when a guy has his foot planted. If there's a rule and fines for hitting the quarterback in the head, they should also protect them below the knee. And Bernard Pollard needs to avoid making that hit.
So, I don't know if it was dirty, but it was clumsy and it was unskilled. And it killed a quarterback's season. Bernard Pollard, welcome to the ranks of the KillShot(tm) Ring of Honor!
Brian Westbrook spending as little time out of his protective bubble-wrap coccoon as possible. Goes without saying — let's hope the franchise doesn't get hurt. If he must play, might I suggest a swing pass to the sidelines? Something where he can dance out of bounds untouched?
Shawn Andrews leveling someone on a screen pass. Let's have the Big Kid bounce outside and try to concuss some of the Pats' elderly linebackers, mmm? That'd be lovely.
Dunavin and the deep ball. Okay, so no Curtis. No Reggie Brown. I feel a lot better about that if 5 can complete a pass deeper than 20 yards to the WR-by-committee. Let's throw it even if it isn't there.
Asante Samuel doing something even more obnoxious than talking about how happy his money makes him. We would not hate it if Samuel ended up with a pick and indulged himself in a little taunting. I'm just sayin is all.
Not a single bobbled kick or punt. I really don't think this is asking too much — please catch the ball.
Joe Mays on the highlight reel. I dunno, I just want to see the kid blowing someone up on the highlights. Nothing that injures anyone, just something noisy would be fine.
And, of couse, photo ops. I want to see Big Red next to Belicheat; he's got to be like three of him. Also, the obligatory smug owner photo.
As for the photo above, well, that just doesn't look very tough now does it. Extra credit to the first commenter to name both Iggles in the photo.
Far be it from us to poop on the efforts of a Birds fan to do his best to help his favorite team (retroactively) win the Super Bowl, no matter how (increasingly) inane and misguided those efforts may be. We hear you, Arlen. We do. The Spygate thing feels a little squishy/ slimy to us too.
But threatening a Congressional investigation, a la the Mitchell Report? Dude. Really?
Never mind that this seems to be a gross misuse of legislative dollars and attention (war, economy, failing education and health care infrastructure). Right. We've been over that. As a citizen, this troubles me.
As a sports fan, it may trouble me even more, if only because a Congressional Spygate investigation promises to be insanely effing boring. Enough already. The Mitchell Investigation/ Report has s*cked for years; let's just say we're not psyched for the sequel.
What he means to say, of course, is that HE WILL NOT SLEEP UNTIL HE DELIVERS WHAT ANDY REID COULD NOT: AN EAGLES' SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP.

Tech visas for French start-ups
France has always had quite a bit of investment in the new technologies field. And yet, because it was so complicated to hire foreign developers, this sector did not get to grow like it could have. The solution of the government? Introducing French Tech Visas.
Basically, anyone with a master's degree or higher, a gross salary over two times the French minimum wage, and an employment contract with one of the companies eligible to recruit via French Tech visas will benefit from an accelerated procedure to benefit from a visa. The best part is: not only is there no arbitrary maximum on the number of visas that are handed out this way, but it also makes it very simple for families to receive visas as well! The spouse automatically receives the "family" residence permit, while minor children only need to get an Underage Child Travel Document after they've already arrived!
As such, it is becoming easier and easier for French tech companies to hire, and for foreign developers to be hired. Overall, with Emmanuel Macron as president, the future of the tech industry in France is looking bright.
If you're wondering what companies are partners of this program, you can find a complete list of them right here.

Yedlin: Demise of Energy East another gut punch for energy sector
Deborah Yedlin, Calgary Herald
Jim Carr Jim Carr, Canada's Minister of Natural Resources, delivers a statement on TransCanada Pipelines'' decision to cancel the Energy East Pipeline project on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Thursday, Oct. 5, 2017. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick ORG XMIT: SKP110 Sean Kilpatrick,	Sean Kilpatrick / THE CANADIAN PRESS
To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of the death of TransCanada's Energy East pipeline project were not greatly exaggerated.
On Thursday, the Calgary-based company permanently iced the $15.7-billion project that would have been the country's largest infrastructure investment funded entirely from private capital.
When TransCanada last month asked the National Energy Board for a 30-day suspension of its Energy East application, the writing was on the wall that the project would be cancelled.
A conversation with TransCanada CEO Russ Girling a few years back about how he would approach Energy East relative to the Keystone XL pipeline — at the time also suspended — clearly signalled the company would not spend billions to stay with an uncertain process.
And word has it there were some conversations as recent as last month that indicated Energy East would come off the table if Keystone XL moved forward.
On Thursday, Girling was true to his word.
Some have pointed out Energy East was no longer necessary, that the combination of slowing growth from the oilsands and the prospect of both the Trans Mountain Expansion and Keystone XL projects proceeding did not require a third pipeline option. Others have wondered why, given the oilsands slowdown, TransCanada would put KXL at risk in terms of seeking commitments from shippers.
There was also a view — and a valid one — that the portion of the TransCanada main line that would have been converted from shipping natural gas to shipping oil should remain a conduit for gas.
But it's not only about that. This is about Canada as a place to invest, and right now it's looking like Wednesday night's Flames-Oilers game: a shutout.
Like Petronas' decision to abandon its Pacific NorthWest LNG project — followed this week by subsidiary Progress Energy's decision to sell its deep basin assets in Alberta — TransCanada made a business decision.
It can get a better return elsewhere.
And, as Girling said in a statement Thursday, the company has $24 billion in other projects on its books. Those dollars will be spent where they'll generate the best return for the company and its shareholders.
For the energy sector and for oilsands players in Alberta, it's another negative. With the budgeting season approaching, uncertainty surrounding pipeline capacity is omnipresent.
Hearings into a lawsuit that aims to block the Trans Mountain expansion began this week in British Columbia. In the U.S., President Donald Trump has approved KXL, but it's not yet a done deal.
The uncertainty around pipeline capacity in Canada will undoubtedly lead other companies — here and abroad — to pause investment decisions in Alberta and elsewhere in Canada.
This is lousy news for Premier Rachel Notley, who's become an unlikely champion for the oilpatch on the national stage and whose government needs the revenues that would come with both investor confidence and commitments of further investments.
The premier is well aware of the growing list of companies that have chosen to sell their oilsands assets and find other places around the world to put their money to work. The death of Energy East, a made-in-Canada project, will only heighten investor skepticism.
That means companies have to work harder to attract capital.
The energy sector employs the middle class in this country; a strong middle class is a cornerstone of the federal Liberal agenda.
And yet the decision by TransCanada, arguably borne of a National Energy Board panel that ignored the advice and established precedents of other pipeline approvals by including upstream greenhouse gas emissions in its assessment, will hit the middle class.
While some will argue economics killed Energy East, not the NEB overreach, that's not quite right.
That was the view of federal Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr when reached late Thursday.
"(The project cancellation) is a result of economics and challenging conditions," he said in an interview. "The government of Canada is concerned about the energy environment and the issues that are beyond the role of government," said Carr, who reiterated the principles his government would have used to assess Energy East would have been the same as those used to assess Trans Mountain and Enbridge's Line 3 project — both of which were approved.
The broader regulatory scope, not to mention delays created by the appointment of the new panel, contributed to the project's demise for the simple reason that time is money.
One could reason this will also sterilize the economy of the Maritimes, and more specifically, New Brunswick. It's not like economic growth is on a tear in that region of the country. Energy East would have been a catalyst for future investment.
Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre shamefully rejoiced in the project's cancellation on social media Thursday.
Instead of oil flowing east from Canadian sources, the refineries in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Newfoundland will continue to import upwards of 750,000 barrels a day. As much as one-third of imports are from parts of the world where human-rights records are decidedly out of step with Canada's.
Coderre should be reminded that Quebec has long been the beneficiary of transfer payments generated by a healthy energy sector, with many tankers passing through the Gulf of St. Lawrence on a daily basis.
Some time ago, a senior energy executive grimly prognosticated it was only a matter of time before TransCanada — and Enbridge — frustrated by the regulatory challenges in Canada and each with significant assets in the U.S., would relocate their offices south of the border.
The remarks seemed rather far-fetched, if not alarmist, on that sunny, summer day. They don't today.

Do not be too proud of this technological terror that you have constructed.
The internet will surely be responsible for dragging more people to hell than anything else I can see. It has corrupted the minds of millions and millions of young and old, men and women. Do not be too proud.
Trying to make me look bad because I asked wicked Hollywood to surrender several days ago. They always say bad is good and good is bad. And to use little ol grandma to deliver it is highly suspect RFB.
Catholics are members of a cult. We all know, when asked to leave many wolves stayed. Seems only 1 left on an airplane all by himself to Italy. 1 man on a commercial aircraft.
Know your Bibles, nowhere in the Bible does it mention anything even close to this, not at all. It really correlates to my suspicion that they are turning the sky into a big LCD shutter and the Catholics knew all along. They figure if God is not going to do it, they will and deceive people into thinking it is of God.
Why? TO cause chaos. Do not fall for it. I did not watch but a few minutes before I went to the Bible and can clearly see there is nothing like what she is saying anywhere in the Bible at all.They have been planning this.
I have the feeling that "they" are running out of money and even their own people are starting to plot against their Catholic "leaders" because the money is drying up and disappearing. What good is a cult if it has no more money to pay off it's wicked members? The amount of lil ol ladies in your country that hardly worked a day in their lives but have a dead husband, or several dead husbands, a big house, property, gold, diamonds, fancy cars, clothes, pearls, dining out, and ohhh so much more. Paid wolves I would think. And it is not just lil ol ladies in their club, so watch out.
When all the Cadillac and gas money is spent, there will be a whole lot of witches jumping ship.
In no way shape or form am I saying to "do" anything. I am just telling you all what I see.

Countrywide Professional Casino plus Racino Game playing Earnings Evaluation
In category Others on August 11, 2020 No comments
A Time period of Adjustment
Oops! That big hissing sound is the gaming balloon that experienced been expanding above the years, slowly and gradually losing air. But, it has not been a tide that decreased all ships nevertheless, as some rising and expanding gaming jurisdictions showed sturdy development in 2008.
Overall, the professional and racetrack on line casino sectors (excluding Indian gaming), skilled a 3.five percent drop in gaming revenues for 2008, producing a complete of $36.2 billion, down some $800 million from 2007. It was the Racino sector that has tempered this fall, as they showed a achieve of nearly $one billion in 2008, thus bringing the Business sector market decline to $one.8 billion, or 6.seven percent. Nevada was the greatest loser in 2008, dropping almost $1.three billion, a lot more than half of which stemmed from the Las Vegas Strip phase.
Hunkering Down
For the most part, on line casino operators have been caught reasonably flat-footed by the extent of the 2008 profits downturn, as it was not right up until the third and fourth quarters when it actually nosedived. Driving the crest of calendar year more than calendar year marketplace growth throughout the place and the availability of sufficient credit history and equity cash, new construction and enlargement proliferated in latest several years. These days, faced with the realities of declining, or at greatest stagnant desire, a lot of of these initiatives are now regarded over-leveraged and/or above-sized. As a result numerous gaming companies are trying to renegotiate their debt – produced much more challenging by decrease valuations – even though also paring down operational expenses. https://ufadeal.com/แทงบอลออนไลน์/ has become a quite problematic conundrum when working with the competitiveness, especially in these jurisdictions that are now vying for market place shares with new rising casino initiatives in neighboring areas. A topic we examine more entirely in the Point out by Point out analysis part of this publication.
As a result of these conditions the gaming industry landscape is now strewn with impending fatalities. Amid the more notable troubled companies are Station Casinos, Empire Resorts, Harrah's Enjoyment, Greektown Holdings, Legends Gaming, Tropicana Leisure, Herbst Gaming and the record grows every 7 days.
"How lengthy will these financial situations persist, and are we at the base nevertheless?" are concerns no one seems to be answering nevertheless. What is very clear nevertheless is that most gaming jurisdictions will have to discover how to deal with a scaled-down pie.
This examination consists of only gaming revenues of accredited casinos and pari-mutuel retailers that offer you casino online games, and not Indian gaming operations, card rooms, or tiny non-casino kind slot locations. The entire report, like revenue tables is obtainable on our internet web page.
Input/Output Model
A key element that seems to have arisen from the ashes of this existing trend is that numerous on line casino initiatives ended up just as well big to support by themselves. The enter, in conditions of investment dollars, was not proportional to the output, in conditions of internet income after personal debt services, compared to previously reached results. A lot more and/or larger is not always much better. Seeing the rise in non-gaming income at the Las Vegas Strip resorts, gave impetus to the growth of far more complete facilities in a lot of other jurisdictions. The flaw in this strategy however is that the charges connected with widening industry penetration and occasioned-use, are drastically higher than people incurred to entice the foundation industry.
As daytripper marketplaces turn out to be far more aggressive, on line casino venues will have to count more and a lot more on their in-residence lodge patrons, and size their qualities (and expectations) accordingly. While Steve Wynn started out a key trend in generating up-market place mega-destinations, there merely was not sufficient demand on the Strip to warrant the several other equivalent projects that followed that aimed at the exact same market.
The trick is to strike a satisfied medium in task configurations which of training course require much less of a 'seat-of-pants' method, and one particular that is much more researched. A shameless plug for improvement consultants like ourselves.
Other Gaming Activities
Despite the fact that there are no released comprehensive data of American Indian gaming revenues, anecdotal proof seems to advise that this section has been as challenging hit as the Commercial sector. The two Connecticut Indian gaming installations report slot income of $one.six billion in 2008, representing a drop of about seven %, or nearly $114 million, a lot more than doubling the 3.5 percent fall from the calendar year prior to. This marketplace is seemingly still reeling from the ripple-effect of a on line casino enlargement in Rhode Island, and the opening of slot operations in New York and Pennsylvania.
The Arizona Office of Gaming reports that contributions dependent on a gaming revenue formulation from the state's 23 Indian gaming casinos, have been declining every single quarter in 2008 in contrast to the preceding year lowering .8 percent in the very first quarter, seven.5 per cent in the next quarter, nine.five p.c in the 3rd quarter, and 16.1 percent in the fourth quarter.
Some SEC reporting Indian gaming homes report equivalent decreases. Seneca Gaming, which operates 3 Class III casinos in upstate New York, reviews that although calendar year 2008 showed an virtually 2 % development rate in gaming revenues, there was an eight.7 % decline in the third quarter and an nearly ten % decrease in the fourth quarter of 2008, in comparison with 2007. Gaming revenue tendencies at nearby Niagara Falls, Ontario have been down 1.5% in 2008 in contrast with 2007.
It truly is been a mixed-bag for point out lotteries across the nation. The North American Affiliation of State & Provincial Lotteries reviews that U.S. lotteries generated a whole of $sixty.six billion in sales in fiscal 2008, up about 3 p.c from the prior yr yet some jurisdictions described decreases, most notably California, which confirmed an 8 % fall. Inasmuch as some of these states are on different fiscal 12 months finishes, it would appear that the info does not mirror the affect of 3rd and/or fourth quarter final results.
According to data supplied by Equibase, horse racing pari-mutuel revenues continue their downward spiral, slipping seven p.c to $thirteen.seven billion in 2008, vs . $14.seven billion in 2007.
Planned & Proposed New Expansions
As earlier noted, it has been new gaming jurisdictions that have spawned significantly of the progress in annual casino/racino revenues more than the a long time, and their effect is apt to proceed into the in close proximity to foreseeable future.
Miami Dade voters authorized a ballot issue that allows each of a few pari-mutuels to have a casino facility of up to two,000 slot equipment. The Flagler Canine Monitor and Miami Jai-Alai are reportedly arranging opening in late 2009 or early 2010, even though the Calder installation in Miami Gardens has but to announced its programs. There are numerous other proposals becoming regarded as that would additional broaden on line casino growth all through the point out.
The point out ultimately got all around to reissuing its tenth license, late in December, 2008 awarding it to Midwest Gaming & Entertainment, LLC for a 1,two hundred+ recreation on line casino found in Des Plaines just east of O'Hare. The new facility is not very likely to open up until finally 2010. There has also been some discussion about enabling an improve in for each place gaming positions and slots at racetracks, though neither initiative appears to have any traction at this time.
The state's expanded lottery program that allows for the improvement of 4 on line casino gaming zones and slots at current horse and pet tracks seems mired, as only one particular facility is presently under construction, while three other proposals ended up rescinded. The only bidder on the Cherokee County deal, claimed it could not compete with the new Quapaw tribal on line casino in Oklahoma, which is situated so close to the point out line that its parking whole lot is in Kansas. The Boot Hill On line casino Resort in Dodge City is planing a December 2009 opening with 575 slots and 10 table online games, together with a 2nd stage because of to open up in 2011 with 875 slots and 20 desk online games. The state has extended the application procedure for the other a few zones until finally April, 2009.
There is nevertheless a lot of 'jockeying' heading on, but the prospect of as numerous as 8 slot parlors and racinos seems to be back on the entrance-burner, but likely not solved in the course of the existing legislative session.
There are about fourteen,000 rooms scheduled to come on line in 2009, with the most current becoming the 390 area M Resort in Henderson. There are expansions underway at equally Caesars Palace and Hard Rock and new resorts incorporate two components of the Metropolis Center task, and the Fountainebleau.
Pinnacle Entertainment's new casino growth tasks in Baton Rouge and Lake Charles, although delayed, are reported to still be on-track for opening this calendar year and/or early 2010.
There is a bill under thought that could much more than double Penn National's slot equipment to 3,000, as properly as a proposal that would eliminate the restriction that slots be located in five miles of the keep track of. Scarborough Downs, which has been unsuccessful in convincing local residents to let slots, may possibly be contemplating relocating to a far more hospitable city.
A referendum was accepted in November, 2008 that allows for the advancement of five casinos with a overall of 15,000 slots, and now the bidding war is afoot despite the fact that it is not as intense as the state had anticipated.
Grand Soleil On line casino Resort in Natchez experienced been slated to open up in 2008, but has run into numerous financing concerns and while the hotel part is open, the riverboat is reported to open up in the Spring of '09. Harrah's Margaritaville Casino in Biloxi, even though scaled again considerably, is nonetheless on observe to open up this year.
Massachusetts, a sleeping-giant in terms of market place prospective, is nevertheless maneuvering to open up casinos/racinos, and/or a Class III Indian gaming facility, but can not seem to muster the political assistance. A latest research completed by Dartmouth College estimates that Massachusetts resident expended much more than $920 million previous year at Connecticut casinos and slot device parlors in Rhode Island and Maine. The New Hampshire legislature lately declined an alternative to develop casinos, nonetheless the topic is likely to be revisited, especially if Massachusetts decides to go forward. There are also tries in Maine to reconsider its possibilities.
Atlantic City's casinos have imposed their political will on staving off the addition of slot machines at racetracks by lately agreeing to continue augmenting purses with an added tax. The governor nonetheless, has appointed a new panel to research the state's sagging racing software which ironically, can only be preserved by permitting the tracks to have slot equipment specially at the Meadowlands. (See The Nor'easter Squeeze segment)
Just when it looked as if Aqueduct's 4,five hundred VLT facility would lastly be created, the successful bidder indicated an incapability to make the required $370 million payment, citing the recent lending climate, and throwing the project back into the lap of the governor. Despite the fact that the marketplace demand from customers in the region could be regarded as really sturdy, the prospect of extra competitors from nearby Belmont could have an impact on Aqueduct's underlining economic feasibility, particularly thinking about that marginally significantly less than thirty% of the net win is retained by the operator.
Programs to relocate Monticello Raceway into a vacation resort intricate are currently being reconsidered perhaps owing to equally the possible opening of at minimum a single or perhaps two racino operations in the NY metro area, and the resurfacing of initiatives to growth a Course III Indian gaming facility in the Catskills.
Yet one more gaming proposal is getting set forth in Ohio, right after final year's version was turned down by the voters. This prepare calls for one particular on line casino every single in the state's biggest metropolitan areas: Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Toledo. There would be a minimum expense necessary of $250 million, as effectively as an original licensing payment of $50 million, and a 33 % tax on gaming profits.
The Sands in Bethlehem is due to open up in the Spring of '09, and the new Rivers venture in Pittsburgh is predicted to be operational in August, '09 while Philadelphia's two slot services nonetheless wallow in a political mire, but are expected to start construction this calendar year.
The Lodge at Deadwood is slated to open up in the Fall of 2009, and consist of 300 online games, 140 rooms and a extensive assortment of features.
Legislators are proposing a voter referendum that would amend the point out structure to allow on line casino gambling in selected locations, as properly as let gambling on American Indian lands in Texas and at existing racetracks.
The Greenbriar, the state's venerable vacation resort facility has submitted for bankruptcy, but has a new suitor in Marriott Lodges, who have reportedly tendered an provide. State govt has proffered the idea of allowing the resort to offer on line casino games, but this work is in as well early a stage to have any traction one way or one more.
A latest Supreme Courtroom ruling that restricts the getting of lands into have faith in on behalf of federally recognized American Indian tribes has further stymied some new Course III gaming projects throughout the region. Furthermore, there ended up eleven Indian casino tasks turned down by the DOI previous year since of its new rule that casinos should be close to ample to a reservation that tribal associates can perform at them. It has been proposed that the new Obama administration might be more sympathetic to the advancement of Indian gaming projects, but this issue has yet to be dealt with.
Meanwhile, there are other Course III projects in the different phases of improvement. The Seneca casino project in Buffalo, NY, whilst functioning a small momentary facility, has delayed an currently beneath construction long lasting facility till the marketplace rebounds. They have also expressed an interest in establishing a on line casino in the Catskills. The condition gaming compact with Seminoles in Florida is currently being challenged, and could impact their strategies for larger assignments. There are new Indian gaming assignments established to open in Michigan and Oklahoma this year, and other individuals are in the organizing stage. Texas could let the reopening of Indian gaming services and enable other venue and there are ideas afoot by the Navajos in Arizona to build further casinos. California is poised to open two to a few new Course III casinos in 2009/10.
The Nor'easter Squeeze
Whole gaming revenue in Atlantic City has declined 7.six p.c, from $four.9 billion in 2007 to $4.five billion in 2008 with decreases continuing into 2009, as the city is obtaining alone in an extreme comp-war with the Pennsylvania venues. At 1 time the only casinos in the Northeast have been located in Atlantic Town, in which it looked as if it may well truly even eclipse the Las Vegas Strip's once-a-year gaming revenues.
Little by little nonetheless its market share was becoming encroached upon, 1st by the growth of a big Course III gaming operation in Connecticut, and then yet another slots operations in Rhode Island, and then movie lottery terminals at New York racetracks, racinos in West Virginia and Delaware, and most not too long ago Pennsylvania.
Now, with the planned opening of slot functions in Maryland, the impending opening of a new on line casino in Bethlehem, PA, and ultimately two functions in Philadelphia, the noose is tightening close to Atlantic City's long term potential customers. It really is reliance on day-trippers lulled it into a bogus sense of security, and it now finds alone possessing to redefine its mission assertion to "location resort."
The only difficulty with this approach however is that it is sick-outfitted to pull it off. For all intents and functions, Atlantic Metropolis is below-roomed and/or above-gamed. There is simply not enough working day-tripper marketplace to go around, and their successful trading region is tightening, as the peripheral populations northward now/will have more ready entry to a widened offer in New York (Yonkers, and quickly at Aqueduct and possibly Belmont), westward in Pennsylvania and southward in Delaware, West Virginia and Maryland.
Other than the ocean obtain, the city's only true competitive positive aspects are its resort capacity and the availability of table online games, although the latter is likely to eventuate in Pennsylvania, and possibly Delaware. In purchase to adequately compete as a spot resort the metropolis wants to build added visitor rooms and not necessarily gaming ability. By comparison, the Las Vegas Strip houses – accurate gaming destinations, in that they do not have much of a working day-excursion market, other than for the 'locals' – have an average of .87 gaming positions per guest place while Atlantic City's average is 2.seventy four positions for each guest area.
It is not a coincidence that Atlantic City's two greatest resorts, the Borgata and Harrah's Marina, both of which additional new rooms in 2008, ended up the the very least impacted by the most recent downturn. The Borgata knowledgeable a gaming profits drop of 1.6 p.c, while Harrah's Marina reported a four.9 % boost when compared to 2007. In addition, the toughest hit venues, specifically the AC Hilton, Resorts and the Trump Marina, also have the smallest quantity of rooms. In the meantime some of the venues are teetering on viability, like the the Trump houses and Resorts with the hoped for sale of the Tropicana has been even more delayed, and getting rid of valuation.
With a continual rise in gaming revenues through 2006, the metropolis seemed key for even more improvement, which precipitated organizing for four new vacation resort projects, every single of which have now been indefinitely delayed. Revel Enjoyment Group's $two.5 billion venture continues to be an iron skeleton, Pinnacle Entertainment has introduced it may possibly find to market its razed Sands internet site, MGM Mirage has shelved its on line casino plans, and Penn Countrywide seems to have stopped its pursuit of the Bader Discipline airport internet site.

BATTALION 'ASSIGNMENT' SYSTEM
Personnel, people working on-shift, could not be unbalanced within the neighborhood (battalion) in which you were assigned.
THOSE FIRST DAYS ON THE JOB: ANYTHING BUT ROUTINE, PART 1
"I can't believe how easy it was to get to this roof," my mind meandered as I "popped" out of the scuttle to the roof adjoining the fire building.
A FEW "HISTORICAL" MOMENTS
Working for Captain Nolan was like working for an historical figure named Florian1—a great firefighter, an officer, a teacher, a leader, and a saint.
My father and my grandfather were firefighters. Both were a product of old traditional Irish heritage when it came to family.
TALES FROM TRUCK 111
111 Truck. One-Eleven in the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) was another truly unique place in which I was fortunate to have worked and skippered during my too-short career.
FIRE ENGINEERING MOURNS LOSS OF TOM BRENNAN
It is with great sadness that Fire Engineering announces the loss of its former editor and technical editor Tom Brennan at the age of 66. Brennan, for all his seriousness and intensity when it came to safe "commonsense" and "simple" effective firefighting had a keen sense of humor and the gift of being the "life of the party."Donation information is pending.
SAFETY, PART 2
We were talking about safe operations for responding and returning, and perhaps we should visit there for a little longer (a term I stole from my recently retiring friend in the West).
Most of you who know me understand that I am usually not impressed with statistics that seem to support an exciting or excitable subject that follows them "first shot out of the bag." Those numbers and matched data were planned to do just that. "Figures lie and liars figure," is an old adage from a college statistics course from my early days.
STRATEGY IS NOT A STAND-ALONE CONCEPT
I reserved this space in this mag- azine 20 years ago to hang out with you and "shoot the breeze" about one predominant subject, operations-responding to, operating at, and (most important) returning from fires and other related emergencies threatening our core of service: to protect the lives, property, and environment of those we promised to serve.
STILL TALKIN' IN THE KITCHEN ….
We have been talking (at least I was), about those tactics, tasks, and procedures that occur on most well-trained operations that support aggressive structure firefighting.

Q: Download PDF file from Blob Url inside Android's WebView The scenario:

*

*I got a RestFul API that generates pdf files

*I use this API to download pdf files in Web applications and works great

*Now I want to open this web application in a Webview in an Android App to download this same files

The problem is, I'm doing something similar to this to be able to manage the Webview downloads:
webview.settings.javaScriptEnabled = true
webview.settings.domStorageEnabled = true

webview.setDownloadListener { url, userAgent, contentDisposition, mimeType, _ ->
    val subpath = "/download" + "/" + "test" + ".pdf"
    val downloadManager = getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE) as DownloadManager
    val request = DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(formatUri(url)))
    request.setAllowedNetworkTypes(DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI or DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_MOBILE)
    request.setAllowedOverRoaming(false)
    request.setVisibleInDownloadsUi(true)
    request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED)
    request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, subpath)
    downloadManager.enqueue(request)
}

But, of course, this will not work since url that returns is not a 'normal' Uri like:

https://test.com/your-pdf-file.pdf

Instead, it is more like it:

blob:https://test.com/d335cd66-b3f2-4fd5-b16f-asbca22dfc38

The web browser is able to work with this kind of url, but the webview is not.
How can I make the Android webview download the files to the device?

Markus Reuter releases digital download of his contemporary classical composition 'Todmorden 513'
Producer, musician, composer and sound designer Markus Reuter has just released the first performance of his contemporary classical piece 'Todmorden 513'. The piece is an algorithmic composition for live instruments and electronics. This recording of the piece is available for digital download (and on CD, see below) at http://www.markusreuter.com.
'Todmorden 513' is an hour-long composition based on a cycle of 513 evenly spaced chords that were strictly derived from systematic combinations of pitches and recursive definition (i.e. the repeated application of a set of rules).
As Henry Warwick explains in the liner notes, "It is a continuous movement and sequence of five hundred and thirteen harmonies and triads generated by a combinatorial compositional technique of Reuter's own design.
The notes of each harmony or triad is then fed back into the same algorithm, resulting in a progression of chords and note clusters of highly varied density, ranging from simple two note harmonies to dense twelve note chords spread across several octaves. Starting on an A flat, the sequences of pitches form a kind of melodic or thematic line throughout. The rhythms of the performing instrumental trios and quartets were derived from the chord sequences themselves, which were looped across the whole piece, mapped to the notes of each chord, then mixed together. From there it was split into three or four independent voices respectively. The result is a shifting set of harmonic densities -- at times quite spare -- ranging from a harmony of two instruments to other moments of thick and lush instrumentation."
Critically acclaimed composer Nik Bärtsch says of the piece, "The composition sounds like a totally liberated Richard Wagner after an intense week of meditation in a space station behind Mars in the year 2050."
This performance of 'Todmorden 513' features a string and recorder ensemble and is intended as a starting point as Reuter intends for many more performances of the work in the future.
Personnel for this original recording include Reuter, Tobias Reber, Karina Bellmann, Uta Maria Lempert, Wiebke Tschöpe, Juliane Gilbert, Ulrich Pollmann, Frieder Zimmermann, and Robert Rich.
Todmorden 513 is also an experiment in distribution: for a minimum price of 4 EUR for the download from Bandcamp, a CD hardcopy (signed if requested) will be sent to the buyer. The small cost covers shipping and handling of the CD to anywhere in the world.
Punk Sanderson is locked inside Facebook
PUNK SANDERSON,
creator of THE VICAR CHRONICLES,
locks himself in FACEBOOK
In a bizarre feat of online dexterity, Punk Sanderson, creator of The Vicar Chronicles, has locked himself in his FACEBOOK page, ranting about his boss, the enigmatic record producer, The Vicar, and trying to escape.
The Vicar Chronicles - "whodunits about the music industry" - encompass Videoblogs, Novels, Audiobooks, Graphic novels and music, based on the adventures of the mysterious, English record producer, The Vicar - "Sherlock Holmes meets Spinal Tap." Surreal tales of lip-syncing
singers, concert sabotage, villains with Orange Eyebrows, groupies with ghosts in their bedrooms, and CDs flying out of shops.
The Vicar's assistant, Punk Sanderson, has been squirreling away writing these stories for seven years. The first Vicar Chronicle - The Mysterious Case of Billy's G String - was serialized online with about 7,000 readers, but, despite promises from large literary agents, two
more books, three film scripts, a proposed Channel 4 TV show, powerful music managers, album deals... absolutely nothing has happened.
So The Vicar has locked Punk into Facebook, where he will be spending the coming weeks until he has collected 10,000 fans to watch his Videobooks, the first stage in a wider launch this autumn.
Footage of Punk's Facebook lock-in can be seen at http://on.fb.me/agu2VR or via Youtube at http://bit.ly/bdDjhA.

Oteri and Laczko release next WD-41 project
Willie Oteri and Dave Laczko's
WD-41+2
Temi Per Cinema
Following their critically acclaimed and well received 2009 release, WD-41, the duo of Willie Oteri and Dave Laczko, have teamed with the talents of beat jockey and multi-instrumentalist Dino J.A. Deane (John Zorn, Jon Hassell, Bill Frisell) and drummer Scott Amendola (Nels Cline, Charlie Hunter) for an extension of their exploratory sonic trip.
The readers of All About Jazz, the largest and most quoted Jazz publication in the world, voted WD-41 to the number 24 spot in the "Top 50 Most Recommended Reviews of 2009." WD-41 also has reached 55 and climbing in the "Top 100 Most Recommended Reviews of All Time," also at AAJ.
The new release, Temi Per Cinema, brings us another exciting, totally improvised, exploratory journey based on live loops by Willie Oteri with live trumpet and effects created by Dave Laczko. It will be released digitally on July 13, 2010 with the CD release following on August 24, 2010. Temi Per Cinema was recorded direct to two tracks in Oteri's home with Deane and Amendola's improvised tracks added later while still retaining that "live vibe." Editing is kept to a minimum, a fade in here, a fade out there, leaving a raw energy and excitement that can only happen in an improvised setting.
Glenn Astarita at All About Jazz wrote about WD-41; "…a spacey trip; chock full of loops, streaming synth noises, and fractured sojourns into the cosmic void. The musicians fuse maniacal psychedelia with free-form improvisation. Oteri makes his guitar weep in concert with otherworldly implementations…"
Temi Per Cinema promises to take the listener even farther on this journey.
Willie Oteri's musical versatility and talent has propelled him to collaborations and performances with J. A. Deane, Scott Amendola, Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, John Lennon), Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, XTC), Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa), Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel), Stu Hamm (Joe Satriani, SteveVai) Ronan Chris Murphy (producer/mixer), Brannen Temple (Sheena Easton, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson), Chris Maresh (Eric Johnson, Abra Moore, Mitch Watkins), Mike Malone (Jimmy Smith) and Ephraim Owens (Erika Badu). In recent years, it is Oteri's role as an improviser, composer and band leader which has garnered him increasing notoriety, coupled with his notable unique style on guitar.
WD-41 and WD-41+2 Temi Per Cinema are available at CDBaby, iTunes, Discipline Global Mobile (DGM), and Abstract Logix.

American Idol alum delves into progressive rock with Chicago's District 97
District 97 just signed to premier prog rock label Laser's Edge
Ken Golden, President of Laser's Edge Group, announces the addition of Chicago's District 97 to the Laser's Edge label. The label will release the band's debut album Hybrid Child in Fall 2010.
Featuring 2007 American Idol finalist Leslie Hunt, District 97 mixes adventurous musical prowess with accessible catchy vocal melodies. The band features exceptional musicians including Chicago Symphony Orchestra cellist Katinka Kleijn.
District 97 was formed in the Fall of 2006 by drummer Jonathan Schang, keyboardist Rob Clearfield, bassist Patrick Mulcahy and guitarist Sam Krahn. The foursome from Chicago honed a no-holds barred style of Liquid Tension Experiment inspired Instrumental Rock before deciding to add the right vocalist. They found their vocalist in Hunt, a 2007 American Idol Top 10 Female Finalist. With a look, sound and stage presence comparable to a young Ann Wilson from Heart, Hunt's dynamic performances pushed the band into a new direction. After attending a show and being highly impressed, Kleijn joined the band. She was followed shortly thereafter by one of Chicago's finest young guitarists, Jim Tashjian. With this new lineup of peerless musicianship in place, District 97 began wowing crowds and establishing a devoted fanbase through packed shows at legendary Chicago venues such as House of Blues, Schubas and Martyrs'.

Trey Gunn announces new CD Modulator
Modulator is Trey Gunn with uber-drummer Marco Minnemann; but with a gigantic twist. This entire recording was composed and produced over the top of a 51 minute, live drum solo by Minnemann. Modulator is scheduled for release May 18 through 7dMedia.
Minnemann has enlisted several different musicians to create a full cd, each, from the same drum solo. No editing of the drum performance was done. All the music had to fit with what Minnemann played and, ideally, make it seems like only this drum performance could go with this music.
"This was the hardest recording I have ever taken on," says Gunn. "The challenges of this process prove the old adage that 'with great restrictions come great creative leaps'."

Q: JavaScript sort date without plugin I have a piece of code I use to sort columns in an HTML table and it works perfectly....except for date fields.  Alphabet and pure numeric it works great! but when used on a date column the sorter does not work as I want it to.  Currently dates get sorted like so:

01-02-2016
02-01-2016
12-12-2014
12-14-2015

What I want to have happen is:

12-12-2014
12-14-2015
01-02-2016
02-01-2016

Here is the JavaScript that I use to make this sort work currently:
var tb, asc1 = 1,
   asc2 = 1,
   asc3 = 1,
   asc4 = 1,
   asc5 = 1,
   asc6 = 1;

      function sort_table(tbody, col, asc) {
      var rows = tbody.rows,
                 rlen = rows.length,
                 arr = new Array(),
                 i, j, cells, clen;
      // fill the array with values from the table
         for (i = 0; i < rlen; i++) {
            cells = rows[i].cells;
            clen = cells.length;
            arr[i] = new Array();
            for (j = 0; j < clen; j++) {
            arr[i][j] = cells[j].innerHTML;
            }
          }
       // sort the array by the specified column number (col) and order (asc)
           arr.sort(function (a, b) {
              return (a[col] == b[col]) ? 0 : ((a[col] > b[col]) ? asc : -1 * asc);
           });
       // replace existing rows with new rows created from the sorted array
           for (i = 0; i < rlen; i++) {
              rows[i].innerHTML = "" + arr[i].join("	") + "	";
           }
        }

The onclick function is this:
function test() {
   sort_table(tb, 0, asc1); asc1 *= -1; asc2 = 1; asc3 = 1; asc4 = 1; asc5 = 1; asc6 = 1;
};

How can I make this happen?  I am really new to JavaScript and still learning every day.  The date format is mm-dd-yyyy as per my example.
Update
I have adopted Daniel Almeida code as he has it working in an example exactly as I want it to but I cannot incorporate it within my own code.  When I do the sort seems to be erratic and all over the place. I am now working with the following code:
var sorter = function(id, column, order, isDate) {
  var t = document.getElementById(id);
  var rows = Array.prototype.slice.call(t.rows, 0);

  rows = rows.sort(function(a, b) {

  var dtA = (isDate) ? new Date(a.cells[column].innerHTML) : a.cells[column].innerHTML;
  var dtB = (isDate) ? new Date(b.cells[column].innerHTML) : b.cells[column].innerHTML;

  return (order == 0) ? dtA > dtB : dtA < dtB;

});

for (i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
  t.appendChild(rows[i]);
  }

}

I have also created a JS Fiddle but I can't get that to do anything at all. It worries me that I am missing something that I am not aware of.
The reason for splitting the two tables is the bottom table is dynamically loaded and the container div allows for a scroll window instead of a long list of information when there are 100s of returned records.

A: Use Javascript's built in Date object. An array of dates object can easily be sorted, like so:
var array = [
  new Date("01/02/2016"),
  new Date("02/01/2016"),
  new Date("12/12/2014"),
  new Date("12/14/2015")
];
array.sort();

A: First example: sort table
var sorter = function(td, id, column, isDate) {

    var tbl = document.getElementById(id);
    var rows = Array.prototype.slice.call(tbl.rows, 0);

    var order = td.getAttribute("order") == "asc" ? "desc" : "asc";
    td.setAttribute("order", order);

    rows = rows.sort(function(a, b) {

      var valA = a.cells[column].innerText;
      var valB = b.cells[column].innerText;

      var compA = (isDate) ? new Date(valA) : valA;
      var compB = (isDate) ? new Date(valB) : valB;

      if (order == "asc") {
        if (compA < compB) return -1;
        if (compA > compB) return 1;
      }

      if (order == "desc") {
        if (compA > compB) return -1;
        if (compA < compB) return 1;
      }

      return 0;

    });

    for (i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
      tbl.appendChild(rows[i]);
    }

  }

EDIT: check this fiddle working with date and text, asc and desc

A: You can get time from date object for each item
var arr = [];
arr[i]= new Date(item_date_string).getTime();

You can sort array of integer values, then fill array of equalent dates strings

A: If you want to use jquery plugin for sorting dates you can refer to this answer also sort date in html table using jquery
