Soccer96's Tactics EP
So many artists, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, show recaps, track premieres, and more all day. That includes a lot of tour announcements, a list of tonight's NYC shows, and NY shows that just went on sale. We publish a monthly playlist of some of our favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place…
ANNA CALVI - "SWIMMING POOL" (FT. JULIA HOLTER)
Anna Calvi's Hunted, which features stripped-down versions of songs from last year's Hunter with some cool collaborators, is out tomorrow and she's just shared "Swimming Pool" featuring Julia Holter. Their voices sound great together.
NATION OF LANGUAGE – "TOURNAMENT"
Brooklyn synthpop band Nation of Language are gearing up to release their debut album, Introduction, Presence, which is out April 3. Here's another early taste with this slightly gothy, danceable single. "The song is about coming to terms with your circumstances—some big decision has been made, a path has been chosen—and accepting that things will be much harder than you imagined, but there's nothing to do but to keep going," says singer Ian Devaney. "I moved to Brooklyn thinking I would be able to simply plug into a scene I had known, only to realize that it didn't really exist anymore. Venues had closed, people had moved away, and I found myself essentially adrift in an almost comically uncaring city. I came to understand it was simply a matter of work—playing to mostly empty rooms in the hope that the bartender would like us and want to have us back. All I knew was that we weren't going to quit, and that is still pretty much all we know."
THE WARLOCKS - "DOUBLE LIFE"
Long-running L.A. psych group The Warlocks will release their 10th album, The Chain, on April 3 via Cleopatra. The band co-produced the album with Rob Campanella and is a concept album about the justice system. "We're telling a story this time," says fromtman Bobby Hecksher, who calls it an "out-of-body experience you get at a show when you're drenched in sweat and suddenly feel so alive." First single is "Double Life," a very catchy slice of JAMC/BJM garage-psych.
AUTOMATIC - "CALLING IT" (PEAKING LIGHTS DISCO RERUB)
"We were excited to have the opportunity to do a remix for Automatic," says Peaking Lights' Aaron Coyes of this "Disco Rerub" version of Automatic's "Calling It" from their very good 2019 debut. "We've been friends with them for a while, Izzy babysat our kids and we are great friends with Lola's older sister Diva. They have something great going, it was super hard to pick a song so we approached Stones Throw with four songs and the idea to do a remix EP, the music is fucking rad, we couldn't pick just one. Alas Stones Throw was like, just do 'Calling It'. We were eased by that as it was impossible to pick one. Automatic will keep making amazing songs, and we'll keep listening. Possibly one of the best things is when people you know shine!" Peaking Lights have a new album on the way, too.
HOLY WAVE - "I'M NOT LIVING IN THE PAST ANYMORE"
Austin's synthy psych band Holy Wave will release their new album, Interloper, on May 8 via Reverberation Appreciation Society. The first single is "I'm Not Living in the Past Anymore" which has the title repeated and repeated over a cool, drony groove. "It's basically sort of a mantra," says the band, "Repetition is crucial in changing the way you interpret and interact with the world around you."
AUSTRA - "ANYWAYZ"
Austra returned earlier this year with "Risk It," her first new song in three years, and now she's announced her first new album since 2017's Future Politics. HiRUDiN is due out May 1 via Domino, and its first track is sparkling electro-pop track "Anywayz." "It explores the fear associated with leaving someone," Katie Stelmanis says, "and the terrifying realization that without them in your life, the rest of the world will continue unscathed as if nothing has changed."
SOCCER96 - "I WAS GONNA FIGHT FASCISM" (ft. ALBABASTER DEPLUME)
Soccer96 is the synth/drums duo of The Comet Is Coming members Danalogue [Dan Leavers] and Betamax [Max Hallett], and they've shared a new song off their upcoming Tactics EP (due June 26 via Moshi Moshi) which features another modern-day UK jazz great, Alabaster dePlume. Despite the lineup, this isn't actually jazz -- it's trippy, spoken word-fueled dance music that fans of the new Jarvis Cocker might like.
CAUSTIC WOUND - "BLACK BAG ASPHYXIATION" & "URANIUM DECAY"
Pacific Northwest deathgrinders (whose lineup includes members of MORTIFERUM, Cerebral Rot, Fetid, and Magrudergrind) are releasing their debut album Death Posture on April 10 via Profound Lore, and they're streaming two murky, grimy, eardrum-busting tracks from it now.
THOMAS V. JÄGER (MONOLORD) - "A SOLITARY PLAN"
Thomas V. Jäger, frontman of Swedish doomers Monolord, is releasing his debut solo album A Solitary Plan on May 8 via RidingEasy Records and he's streaming the title track from it now. It's an earthy, acoustic folk song (with some ethereal embellishments in the background) and Thomas is as good at this kind of thing as he is at doom.
...AND OCEANS - "VIGILANCE AND ATROPHY"
Finnish black metal vets ...and Oceans (who are closely related to Finnish death metal vets Festerday) have shared another track off their upcoming first album in 18 years, and like the first single, it's truly killer stuff that makes it feel like they never left.
PLAGUE YEARS - "PLAY THE VICTIM"
Michigan death-y crossover thrashers Plague Years are releasing their debut album Circle of Darkness on May 22 via eOne, and they're streaming the whiplash-inducing "Play the Victim" today. Fans of anything from Slayer to Power Trip to Creeping Death, take note.
CALLIGRAM - "VIVIDO PERIRE"
UK black metallers Calligram's debut album The Eye Is the First Circle drops April 10 via Prosthetic, and new single "Vivido Perire" is genuinely vicious.
TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION - "LIGHT/PAIN"
Following the psychedelic first single, Philly grinders Total Fucking Destruction have now shared a much more grindcore song off their upcoming album …to be alive at the end of the world. You can read what the band had to say about it and listen at MetalSucks.
SATAN - "TWELVE INFERNAL LORDS"
NWOBHM legends Satan are touring North America this year and playing Decibel Metal & Beer Fest in Philly, and ahead of that, they've released this new classic-Satan-sounding song for the Decibel Flexi Series.
88GLAM - "SWIM"
XO signees 88GLAM, who are touring with The Weeknd this year, will release their new album Close To Heaven Far From God on April 17 via XO/Republic, and it'll feature DaBaby, Lil Durk, NAV, Lil Keed, Rich The Kid, PnB Rock and Quando Rondo. Here's the eerie yet sugary lead single.
COURTNEY MARIE ANDREWS - "IF I TOLD"
Courtney Marie Andrews' new album Old Flowers drops 6/5 via Fat Possum, and you can read more about the great lead single "If I Told" here.
MUZZ (INTERPOL, WALKMEN, BONNY LIGHT HORSEMAN) - "BAD FEELING"
Muzz is a new band featuring Interpol frontman Paul Banks, Matt Barrick (The Walkmen, Fleet Foxes), and Josh Kaufman (Bonny Light Horseman, Day of the Dead, etc), and you can read more about their debut single "Bad Feeling" here.
ADAM GREEN - "ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE" (MISFITS COVER)
"In The Misfits and in his glorious solo work, Danzig bridged punk and metal with the blue-eyed soul music of the mid-1960's like The Righteous Brothers and The Walker Brothers," says Adam. "I'd had an idea for a while to do a Scott Walker / John Franz style production at punk speeds, and the Misfits song 'All Hell Breaks Loose' seemed like the perfect vessel for the experiment."

Gaza Strip Human rights News Report
PCHR Concerned Over Medical Shortages In Gaza Strip Hospitals
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) expresses concern over the extreme shortage of medicines in the Gaza Strip hospitals. PCHR warns of the potential catastrophic repercussions on the health of the Gaza Strip population, especially patients who suffer from renal failure due to the shortage in blood filters used in dialysis. PCHR is concerned that the lack of such blood filters may stop dialysis in the Gaza Strip hospitals, and hence endanger the lives of 450 patients.
According to Dr. Ashraf al-Qidwa, Spokesman of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Dialysis filters 5 and 6, which are major consumables that function like normal kidneys and serve to remove toxins from the blood during dialysis. These filters are about to run out from hospitals and medical care centers in the Gaza Strip.
According to al-Qidwa, only 24 pieces of these consumables are available now, which does not suffice according to the needs of 450 patients who undergo dialysis three times a week. This amount is only sufficient for a weekly dialysis of the patients' blood only.
Al-Qidwa stated that if blood filters ran out, all dialysis apparatuses in hospitals would be stopped. He attributed the shortage in medical consumables to the abstention of the Ministry of Health in Ramallah from supplying the Gaza Strip's medical needs as agreed.
PCHR has followed up the developments in the health conditions in the Gaza Strip. In June and December 2011, PCHR received complaints from patients concerning delayed receipt of their medicines from health facilities in the Gaza Strip as many medicines and medical consumables ran out.
At that time, PCHR found out that such delay was essentially attributed to the running out of such medicines and medical consumables as they were not regularly supplied to the Gaza Strip, or their amounts were decreased to the minimum, by the General Directorate of Pharmacy in Ramallah; only 20% of the Gaza Strip's actual needs have been supplied in 2011.
According to PCHR's documentation, 178 medicines and 190 medical consumables ran out from public health facilities in the Gaza Strip, and in December, 120 medicines and 140 consumables ran out, because they were not supplied by the Ministry of Health in Ramallah.[1] PCHR has warned of the impact of the shortage of medicines on the lives of patients in the Gaza Strip, but the crisis has not been improved and it has reemerged with the shortage of medicines necessary for renal diseases.
Click here to read the story of Shahinaz Khouf, a mother of six who suffers from kidney failure and whose health is deteriorating because she receives insufficient dialysis sessions.
PCHR expresses utmost concern over the deterioration of health conditions of Palestinian patients in the Gaza Strip, and:
1. Calls upon President Mahmoud Abbas to immediately intervene with the Ministry of Health in Ramallah to ensure the prompt flow of consignments of medicine and medical needs to health facilities in the Gaza Strip;
2. Calls for making necessary coordination to remove obstacles between the Ministries of Health in Ramallah and Gaza, especially under the current atmosphere of reconciliation;
3. Calls upon the Ministry of Health in Ramallah to immediately supply all medicines and medical needs that are necessary for health facilities in the Gaza Strip to avoid further risks to the health and lives of the population of the Gaza Strip.

Hot summer days sound great if you're planning a cookout or a day at the beach. Unfortunately, it's not so welcoming to the hard-working folks who spend their days working in hot environments. Many employees are put at risk for a variety of heat-related illnesses, especially in the extreme heat of the summer months. HVLS industrial fans are a simple solution to help keep people cool while working in hot environments.
Comfort isn't the only thing sacrificed when employees are exposed to excessive heat. Fogged-up safety glasses, sweaty palms, dizziness and reduced mental capacity resulting from heat stress can all lead to accidents on the job, with potentially tragic consequences.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that between 2012 and 2016 there were 159 occupational deaths in the United States caused by exposure to extreme heat. The National Safety Council states that in 2015, of the 37 fatalities resulting from heat exposure, nearly 90% of them occurred between June and September.
Consequences resulting from heat-related trauma aren't always fatal. In 2015 alone, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that there were 2,830 non-fatal, heat-related illnesses, resulting in days away from work.
What Can Help Prevent Heat Stress?
Environmental factors, like air temperature, air flow and humidity, can be adjusted to help the human body maintain a normal temperature and control heat stress. For indoor work environments, one recommendation from OSHA is to increase ventilation and use fans to increase air speed over workers. This will help improve the heat exchange between skin surface and the air (unless the air temperature is higher than the skin temperature). OSHA also recommends keeping fans on a Preventative Maintenance Program (add link) so there is no downtime when they are needed most.
How Do HVLS Fans Lower the Effective Temperature?
An air speed between two and three miles per hour creates an evaporative cooling sensation of 7°F to 11°F. A warehouse with an effective temperature of 84°F can be dropped to 73°F by adding HVLS fans.
Increased Productivity: One study concluded that with just a 2 percent loss of body weight from dehydration, mental awareness decreases and can lead to increased work-related accidents. A 23 percent reduction in reaction time occurred with a 4 percent body fluid loss (Gopinathan PM, Pichan G, Sharma VM).
Reduced Costs: OSHA's Safety Pays calculator estimates one heat-related illness can cost up to $50,000.
Improved Employee Morale and Reduced Turnover: HVLS fans create gentle breezes that cover 22,000 square feet, moving air up to 85 feet in all directions. HVLS fans can help keep everyone more comfortable this summer.
Adhering to OSHA Compliance: OSHA's General Duty Clause states that an employer has the obligation to provide a workplace free of hazardous conditions that are likely to cause death or serious physical harm; this includes heat-related hazards.
Temperature variances between the warm air and cool concrete floors often produces condensation on the floor surface. This is referred to as Sweating Slab Syndrome and can become very dangerous for pedestrians and fork trucks working on these slick surfaces. HVLS fans not only help keep everyone cool but also help reduce moisture buildup on walking working surfaces.
Would you like to schedule a free HVLS application review? Your local Rite-Hite representative can identify factors to help make valuable airflow improvements in your facility.
Start cooling your place next week! Fans ship in just 3 to 5 days. Contact your Rite-Hite HVLS Expert.

Q: Android: how to take picture with camera and convert bitmap to byte array and save to sqlite db? I'm still fairly new to android and still trying to figure out how to save an image to a SQLite DB. As is I am trying to call the camera with a button click event to take the photo and on the return trying to save it to a database as a blob. I understand that this may not be the best way, and with that being said I'm at a loss of how to do this. What I ultimaley need to do is to access the camera with my app, allow for it to take a photo, and to be able to save the photo in a data base. I've seen a few forums so far where people have suggested taking the bitmap returned and convert it to a byte array and just save that. That would be fine but once again I am at a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the code i am currently using:
//---Pressing this button will call the built in Camera---
    Button b4 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_addPhotos);
    b4.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
    {

        public void onClick(View arg0){

            Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

            //startActivity(cameraIntent);
            startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST);
        }

    });

here is the onActivityResult() method:
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
   if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED)
   {
       //handles when camera was canceled...
       Toast.makeText(this, "Camera was cancelled by user...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

   } else if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)
   {

       Bitmap imageReturned = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");

       db.open();
       boolean id = db.insertImage(AssessmentID, imageReturned, "test");
               db.close();

       //displays message, if successful...
       displayMessage(id);

   };
};

Here is my insert method of the database class:
 //---insert image into the database---
    public boolean insertImage(String AssessmentID, Bitmap picture, String name)//, String sub, String parcel, String lot, String elevation, String datum)
    {
        boolean num = false;
        try
        {
                db.execSQL("insert into storedImages values(" + AssessmentID + ", " + picture + ", " + name + ");");
                num = true;
                //getting null pointer when trying to insert....
        }catch(SQLException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
            num = false;
        };

            //returns true if successful and false if not...
        return num;
    }

here is error of the logcat:

A: You generally don't save binary data to a database. It's considered bad form and can make queries to the database take really long because of the way the data ends up getting stored on the disk. What you should do is store a file path to the image in your database and store the image on the sdcard.
Without writing massive amounts of code for you, here's a high-level example. First, create your table to store the image with the following sql call:
CREATE TABLE images (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOICREMENT, file_path TEXT, name TEXT);

When it comes time to insert an image you have to do two things. First, write the image out to the SD card. Follow the instructions here to do that. Once you've written it out and gotten a file name for it, you just do a sql query like so:
INSERT INTO images (file_path, name) VALUES ("your file path", "name of image");

Whenever you actually need to display the image, you just read the file specified by file_path from your sdcard.

A: First of all, it appears that Bitmap does not override the default toString() constructor, so you cannot get any meaningful data from ..." + picture + ".... You should look into changing the picture into an array of pixels, by calling picture.getPixels and storing that instead. You will need to change the picture column of your database to a BLOB type. Also, you are getting a null pointer exception in your insert method, possibly indicating that db is null. Could you post line 406 from your DBAdapter class by itself?

A: Use getPixels() to retrieve pixel data from bitmap and save int array as a blob in database
( though I would recommend plain file ).

Construction Payment: Should You Sign That Lien Waiver?
Note: This article was originally published in June 2012 and was updated with all-new information in October 2017.
Lien waivers are a favorite topic for us here at the eponymous Levelset blog. And their importance to the payment process in the construction industry is indisputable as waivers are exchanged with almost every payment on almost every project.
As we've said in the past, lien waivers "are often the last document standing in the way of payment" on a construction project. Not only that, a lien waiver is also a bona fide legal document which, when signed, means that a significant legal right – the right to file a mechanics lien – has been given up by the signing party.
Since lien waivers are so important, and since a signed lien waiver carries with it such significant legal ramifications, the question must be asked: should a contractor, subcontractor or supplier sign a lien waiver?
The short answer to that question is YES, but only when they're signing the correct lien waiver at the correct time. And when it comes to whether or not you should sign a lien waiver, those two details make all the difference in the world.
When are you Supposed to Sign a Lien Waiver?
DO NOT sign a lien waiver before or at the start of a project.
DO NOT sign a lien waiver at the same time that you sign a construction project contract, or as a part of (or attachment to) a contract.
The reason for these two explicit warnings is that, sometimes, general contractors, property owners, and other parties will try to bury a "waiver of all lien rights" clause within the construction contract, or ask you to sign a separate lien waiver document right at the start of construction, before you have done any work. As we've addressed in the past on this blog, this is sometimes against a state's public policy and therefore invalid. However, the act is valid and enforceable in other states (so be careful).
One helpful way to look at lien waivers is to think of them as a receipt. And it really is this simple – a contractor pays you $100k, and you waive $100k of lien rights. It's as simple as that.
Remember, however, the form you sign must be an accurate receipt, and that brings me to the next point.
You wouldn't pay $2,500 for car repairs that only cost $1,500. If the dealership gave you a receipt to this effect, you'd notice the problem, point it out and fix it. The only difference between this and the situation with lien waivers is that lien waivers are typically wordier than a receipt, and therefore, you'll probably have to spend some time reading the waiver document to make sure you're understanding it.
Some states make it easier to deal with lien waivers by requiring that statutory lien waiver forms must be used. You can read more about this in the links below (see "The 12 States With Statutory Forms").
Generally speaking, there are 4 different types of lien waivers. Two of the four are conditional waivers, and the other two are – you guessed it! – unconditional waivers. The other main waiver characteristic has to do with if the waiver goes with a partial or progress payment, or with the final payment. (And by definition, over the entire course of a project, there can be several progress payments, but there can be only one final payment, since the "final payment" is literally the last payment received).
A partial conditional waiver should be used when you are expecting to receive a progress payment on the project. You may be expecting future payments on the project, but are looking to sign a waiver for a specific progress or partial payment that you are receiving. Because this is a "conditional" waiver, you may not have received the payment. That is okay. A conditional lien waiver is "conditional" on your receipt of the payment and will be invalid if payment is not ultimately received. If you have already received this payment in full, then you will likely want to consider signing an "unconditional" waiver.
A final conditional waiver should be used when you are expecting to receive final payment on the project. After signing this waiver, in other words, you will not be expecting any future payments. Because this is a "conditional" waiver, you may not have received the payment. That is okay. A Conditional lien waiver is "conditional" on your receipt of the payment and will be invalid if payment is not ultimately received. If you have already received payment in full, then you will likely want to consider signing an "unconditional" waiver.
This waiver should be used when you have received a progress payment on the project. You may be expecting future payments on the project, but are looking to sign a waiver for a specific progress or partial payment that you are receiving. Because this is a "unconditional" waiver, you must have actually received the payment. If you have not received the payment, if the check hasn't yet cleared the bank, or if there is some other reason why payment might ultimately fail, this waiver should not be furnished. If this is the case, you will likely want to consider signing a "conditional" waiver.
This waiver should be used when you have received final payment on the project. After signing this unconditional lien waiver, you will not be expecting any further payments in the future, and are confirming that you have received — in hand — all payments owed to you on the project. Because this is an "unconditional" waiver, you must have actually received the payment. If you have not received the payment, if the check hasn't yet cleared the bank, or if there is some other reason why payment might ultimately fail, this waiver should not be furnished. If this is the case, you will likely want to consider signing a "conditional" waiver.
Is the dollar amount identified right?
Is the date of services correct?
Is the scope of work correct?
Are you waiving rights on any amounts not yet paid?
Most of the time, doing the right thing with lien waivers isn't rocket science — it just requires paying attention. Spend a few moments with your lien waiver, and you'll be fine. And of course, you can always get in touch with us.

Q: How do I turn a forward pipe expression into a computation expression? So, I want to build a custom computation expression that would allow me to turn this -
testWorld |>
    subscribe ClickTestButtonAddress [] addBoxes |>
    addScreen testScreen TestScreenAddress |>
    setP (Some TestScreenAddress) World.optActiveScreenAddress |>
    addGroup testGroup TestGroupAddress |>
    addEntityGuiLabel (testLabelGuiEntity, testLabelGui, testLabel) TestLabelAddress |>
    addEntityGuiButton (testButtonGuiEntity, testButtonGui, testButton) TestButtonAddress |>
    addEntityActorBlock (testFloorActorEntity, testFloorActor, testFloor) TestFloorAddress |>
    (let hintRenderingPackageUse = HintRenderingPackageUse { FileName = "AssetGraph.xml"; PackageName = "Misc"; HRPU = () }
     fun world -> { world with RenderMessages = hintRenderingPackageUse :: world.RenderMessages }) |>
    (let hintAudioPackageUse = HintAudioPackageUse { FileName = "AssetGraph.xml"; PackageName = "Misc"; HAPU = () }
     fun world -> { world with AudioMessages = hintAudioPackageUse :: world.AudioMessages })

into something like this -
fwd {
    do! subscribe ClickTestButtonAddress [] addBoxes
    do! addScreen testScreen TestScreenAddress
    do! setP (Some TestScreenAddress) World.optActiveScreenAddress
    do! addGroup testGroup TestGroupAddress
    do! addEntityGuiLabel (testLabelGuiEntity, testLabelGui, testLabel) TestLabelAddress
    do! addEntityGuiButton (testButtonGuiEntity, testButtonGui, testButton) TestButtonAddress
    do! addEntityActorBlock (testFloorActorEntity, testFloorActor, testFloor) TestFloorAddress
    let hintRenderingPackageUse = HintRenderingPackageUse { FileName = "AssetGraph.xml"; PackageName = "Misc"; HRPU = () }
    do! fun world -> { world with RenderMessages = hintRenderingPackageUse :: world.RenderMessages }
    let hintAudioPackageUse = HintAudioPackageUse { FileName = "AssetGraph.xml"; PackageName = "Misc"; HAPU = () }
    do! fun world -> { world with AudioMessages = hintAudioPackageUse :: world.AudioMessages }}
    <| runFwd testWorld

Is this possible, or close to something possible? If so, what approach could be taken? Is this a monad, or something lesser?

A: Maybe I should just go back to doing this -
let tw_ = testWorld
let tw_ = subscribe ClickTestButtonAddress [] addBoxes tw_
let tw_ = addScreen testScreen TestScreenAddress tw_
let tw_ = setP (Some TestScreenAddress) World.optActiveScreenAddress tw_
let tw_ = addGroup testGroup TestGroupAddress tw_
let tw_ = addEntityGuiLabel (testLabelGuiEntity, testLabelGui, testLabel) TestLabelAddress tw_
let tw_ = addEntityGuiButton (testButtonGuiEntity, testButtonGui, testButton) TestButtonAddress tw_
let tw_ = addEntityActorBlock (testFloorActorEntity, testFloorActor, testFloor) TestFloorAddress tw_
let tw_ = { tw_ with RenderMessages = hintRenderingPackageUse :: tw_.RenderMessages }
{ tw_ with AudioMessages = hintAudioPackageUse :: tw_.AudioMessages }

It debugs fine (you can find all previous versions of tw_ in the Autos window and can step debug on each operation), and it's not too verbose I suppose.

A: If you use the ExtCore library (available on NuGet), it provides an operator called tap which is specifically provided to help debug pipelined expressions. You use it by "tapping" your pipeline, which applies an action function (returning unit) to the value at some point in the pipeline, then the value is passed through so it keeps flowing through the pipeline as expected.
For example:
testWorld
|> subscribe ClickTestButtonAddress [] addBoxes
|> addScreen testScreen TestScreenAddress
// Check to see if the screen was added correctly
|> tap (fun world ->
    // TODO : Insert code to check if the screen was added.
    // Or, put some dummy code here so you can set a breakpoint
    // on it to inspect 'world' in the debugger.
    ())
|> setP (Some TestScreenAddress) World.optActiveScreenAddress
|> addGroup testGroup TestGroupAddress
|> addEntityGuiLabel (testLabelGuiEntity, testLabelGui, testLabel) TestLabelAddress
|> addEntityGuiButton (testButtonGuiEntity, testButtonGui, testButton) TestButtonAddress
|> addEntityActorBlock (testFloorActorEntity, testFloorActor, testFloor) TestFloorAddress
|> (let hintRenderingPackageUse = HintRenderingPackageUse { FileName = "AssetGraph.xml"; PackageName = "Misc"; HRPU = () }
    fun world -> { world with RenderMessages = hintRenderingPackageUse :: world.RenderMessages })
|> (let hintAudioPackageUse = HintAudioPackageUse { FileName = "AssetGraph.xml"; PackageName = "Misc"; HAPU = () }
    fun world -> { world with AudioMessages = hintAudioPackageUse :: world.AudioMessages })

A related function, tapAssert, can be used to insert debugging assertions into your pipeline.

A: The State or the Writer Monad might be useful but if you want to use the debugger forget about Monads, it's even worse.
One thing you can do is redefine the pipeline operator like this:
let (|>) a b = printfn "Value is: %A" a; b a

5
    |> ((+) 40)
    |> string
    |> Seq.singleton
    |> Seq.toArray

You'll see:
Value is: 5
Value is: 45
Value is: "45"
Value is: seq ["45"]
val it : string [] = [|"45"|]

Or you can instead of printing, accumulate results in a mutable list of objects.
let mutable results = [] : obj list
let (|>) a b =
    results <- results @ [box a] // or set a breakpoint here
    b a
...
val mutable results : obj list = [5; 45; "45"; <seq>]

This is almost like the writer monad.
But if you definitely want to use the debugger (it's not my favorite tool) you're solution with let is fine though you have to change your code and you loose the pipe forward, In that case it might be better to add a breakpoint in the body of the (|>) function.

A: You'd need a let! to propagate the monadic state.
So I guess you have the monad already : it is the plain old let which takes the current bindings, add a new one, and pass it on subsequent computations !

GREY GARDENS tells the story of Big Edie and Little Edie Bouvier Beale, the eccentric aunt and cousin of Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis. It is based on the 1975 documentary by Albert and David Maysles, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2015. Set at the Bouvier mansion in East Hampton, this bold musical follows a mother and daughter on their hilarious and heartbreaking journey from glamorous aristocrats to notorious recluses in a crumbling house filled with memories and cats.

Kennedy, Jr./Jerry; James Harkness as Brooks Sr./Brooks Jr.; Sarah Hunt as Young "Little" Edie Beale; Simon Jones as J.V. "Major" Bouvier/Norman Vincent Peale; and Dakota Quackenbush as Lee Bouvier.

"I am very excited to have a dream cast and creative team joining us for GREY GARDENS at Bay Street this summer!" says Scott Schwartz, Artistic Director for Bay Street Theater. "The brilliant Betty Buckley and Rachel York will bring humanity, depth, and humor to Big and Little Edie Beale, women who are part of the shared heart and history of the Hamptons. They are joined by a cast of dazzling actors and award-winning designers, and we welcome them all. I am confident that under Michael Wilson's inspired direction, this production will be a perfect finale for our 2015 season and an event not to be missed."

The battle for survival has found KCCA Men in the most difficult situation, only riding on hope that UPDF and Our Savior drop points as the National Basketball League comes to a close.
The City Council boys have also lost both their games against UPDF during the season and now a win for the Army side against UCU Canons will see the former dropping into the relegation zone because of their head to head record this season with no more games to play.
Meanwhile, the other threatened side, Our Savior, who sit second from bottom with 26 points still have a chance to partake in the playoff finals considering they still have two games in hand against KIU and JKL Dolphins.

Land exchange adds acreage to Rocky Flats…
Things To DoOutdoors
Land exchange adds acreage to Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge
By Reporter-Herald Staff |
Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the state of Colorado and local municipalities completed a land exchange Monday that adds about 1,200 acres of wildlife habitat to the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge.
The move increases the refuge's size by nearly one-third and connecting it with the region's open space and trail system.
Rocky provides open space, wildlife habitat and outdoor recreation opportunities.
The added land will help with creation of the Rocky Mountain Greenway, an uninterrupted trail and open space network to connect hundreds of miles of trails in the Denver metropolitan area from the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Rocky Flats and Two Ponds National Wildlife Refuges, Rocky Mountain National Park, and community trail systems.
The effort is part of President Obama's America's Great Outdoors program.
Salazar, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, U.S. Senator Mark Udall and U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter all praised the expansion of Rocky Flats.
The land exchange will give the protections of the National Wildlife Refuge System to a large, contiguous and intact tract of Xeric tallgrass prairie on Rocky Flats, believed to be, along with land owned by the city of Boulder Open Space nearby to the west, to be the largest remaining tracts of Xeric tallgrass prairie in North America.
The move also gives the refuge additional riparian habit for the Preble's meadow jumping mouse, a species listed by the federal government as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1998.

Q: Using ActiveMQ/JMS on Tomcat server? We have a Spring based web application deployed in Tomcat. The web application uses Spring's JmsTemplate and DefaultMessageListenerContainer to produce and consume messages respectively. Our JMS provider is ActiveMQ "Classic" and we have used ActiveMQ client libraries to establish a connection with the native broker. We have used PooledConnectionFactory from the activemq-pool library. Since it's a Spring web application we have defined the connection factory bean and wired the connectionFactory into JmsTemplate and DefaultMessageListenerContainer beans respectively. We are assuming the pooling would be driven by Spring through the connection factory.
The behavior we are seeing is the JMS sessions are being created/destroyed continuously. Under load the application would stop consuming the messages.
After reading different articles we are trying to understand the role of JCA JMS. Can anybody suggest implementing JMS through JCA would resolve the issue and to enlist JMS as an XA resource to maintain the connections and sessions through JCA Adapters.
In our Spring JMS web application and Tomcat server we have used both the ActiveMQ PooledConnectionFactory and ActiveMQConnectionFactory from ActiveMQ client libraries. We see the sessions are being created/destroyed frequently and this stops the JMS client from consuming messages.
The below snippet of the Spring beans how we have configured the Spring JmsTemplate and DefaultMessageListenerContainer beans wired in with the connectionFactory.
<!--bean id="jmsQueueConnectionFactory" class="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory">
    <property name="brokerURL" value="ssl://localhost:61616"/>
    <property name="trustAllPackages" value="true"/>
</bean-->

<bean id="jmsQueueConnectionFactory" class="org.apache.activemq.pool.PooledConnectionFactory" destroy-method="stop">
   <property name="connectionFactory">
      <bean class="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory">
         <property name="brokerURL" value="ssl://localhost:61616"/>
         <property name="trustAllPackages" value="true"/>
      </bean>
   </property>
   <property name="maxConnections" value="5"/>
   <property name="maximumActiveSessionPerConnection" value="400"/>
</bean>

<bean id="dmDefaultMessageListenerContainer" class="com.crsoftwareinc.crs.core.jmsListener.DMDefaultMessageListenerContainer">
   <property name="autoStartup"       value="false"/>
   <property name="concurrentConsumers" value="1" />
   <property name="maxConcurrentConsumers" value="5" />
   <property name="cacheLevelName"      value="CACHE_NONE"/>
   <property name="connectionFactory"   ref="jmsQueueConnectionFactory" />
   <property name="sessionTransacted"     value="true"/>
</bean>

<bean id="jmsTemplate"  class="org.springframework.jms.core.JmsTemplate">
    <property name="connectionFactory" ref="jmsQueueConnectionFactory"/>
    <property name="sessionTransacted" value="true"/>
</bean>

We are looking for a work around how could we use JMS with ActiveMQ  in Spring Web application in production deployments where the connections and sessions are maintained seamlessly?

A good friend of our parish, Stephen Schmalhofer, recently wrote the book Delightful People, published by Cluny Media. Eleven essays describe, often whimsically and perceptively, but in depictions that are also informative, colorful characters from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Stephen wrote most of the chapters on the commuter train from Greenwich, Connecticut, to Manhattan. As the author writes in his Preface, while the people mentioned are very different one from the other, "To be dissolved [cupio dissolvi] and to be with Christ is to join the most delightful people in the communion of saints."
Father Rutler's books, along with Edward Short's Wit and Wisdom collection of quotations from them, are available in the rear of our church, as well as through Amazon. They include Our Peculiar Times, published in May, and A Crisis in Culture, just published on October 15.
CONFESSION AND COMMUNION
We remind all parishioners, especially those planning to attend Mass, that in order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, one should not be conscious of grave sin and should have abstained for one hour from any food or drink, with the exception of medicine or water. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental Confession, except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for Confession. Now that churches have reopened, you are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to receive the sacrament of Confession and the graces it offers.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.
BOOKS by FATHER RUTLER
The collection of pastoral letters A Year with Father Rutler, originally published in a leather-bound edition, is now available in a four-volume paperback set published by Sophia Institute Press for $59.95.

In 15 eyes of 15 subjects undergoing routine cataract surgery (control group), aqueous humour of 100 μL was also collected. The IL-1β, IL-6 and Prostaglandin E2 (Human Interleukin 1β, Interleukin 6 and Prostaglandin E2 ELISA Kits, Bio-Swamp Life Science) were used to determine the concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6 and PGE2 in the aqueous humour. All patients were treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs prior to surgery.
Results For IL-1β, IL-6 and PGE2, respectively, the mean concentration values in aqueous humour were 25.6, 24.6 and 64.2 pg/mL in the femto group, and 17.1, 15.2 and 45.7 pg/mL in the control group (table 2). Concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6 and PGE2 were significantly higher in the femto group than those in the control group (all p<0.01). There were no significant correlations between concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6 or PGE2 and age, cataract densities, suction time or laser time (all p>0.05).
Conclusions Inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6 and PGE2 significantly increased after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, which maybe the cause of intraoperative miosis seen in these patients.

a break with the Magisterium!
We are constantly being told that Vatican Council II followed the same lines as previous councils and that the only difference was that it had a more pastoral character. The same people tell us that this Council should be interpreted within the continuity of the Magisterium. In reality, the latter is not possible, because those who tell us to interpret it within this "continuity" end by accepting all the errors and deviations that surged from that same Council, accepted with tranquility by the whole world. It is, in fact, impossible to do simply because no such continuity exists.
Vatican II broke the continuity of the Church Magisterium -Among the purposes of this blog is to denounce such ruses, and this is the greatest of them all - the most barefaced religious fraud that could be imagined. It is with great sorrow of soul that I say this. What is clear to me is that to remain faithful to the Catholic Faith, we should resist and not remain as passive observers in face of this true passion that the Church is suffering.
We will not attempt to make a doctrinal analysis of the Council here, since the topic is too extensive. We will only cite below some important ecclesiastic personages who confirm that Vatican II broke with tradition.
In another place Congar says that at Vatican II, "the Church had its peaceful October Revolution," referring to the well-known "Red October," when Communism destroyed the Empire of the Czars in Russia.
Karl Rahner defends that the historical-theological significance of the Council supposes a break with the tradition of the Church so great that it is only comparable to the times of the primitive Church, where, according to him, the Disciples of Christ with their initiatives broke the continuity of the past with the new teachings of Jesus. Rahner affirms: "Today we live for the first time in the epoch of a break as great as that which happened passing from Judeo-Christianity to Pagan-Christianity."
The famous Fr. Marie-Dominique Chenu, who played an important role in writing various conciliar texts, affirms that in the History of the Church, the Council signifies a break in its continuity of almost 1500 years because it put an end to the "Constantine era" of Catholicism. Further he boasts that those very points of his theology that had been condemned by Pope Pius XII became the ones that were promoted in the decade of the '60s by the new authorities.
I believe that it is important to clarify that there is some imprecision in this phrase, since the Church did not adopt what he calls a unilateral position toward the modern world only from the time of Pius IX. Rather, this was a position coherent with revealed truth that was held and maintained sound and without break by all the Popes since the beginning of the French Revolution, up to and including Pius XII.
I could continue with many other quotes, but I think that these are sufficient to effectively demonstrate that Vatican II broke with the traditional Magisterium of the Church and that this Council did not follow the light of the Holy Ghost, since God cannot contradict Himself.
WAS VATICAN II AN INFALLIBLE COUNCIL?
In the Catholic world today, when the topic of Vatican II comes up, one finds two extremes: First, you have those who who would maintain that Vatican Council II was some type of "super" Council above all others, by which the Holy Spirit moved the age-old Church of 2,000 years into the modern era. For this first group, all past teachings of the Magesterium must be understood in light of this new Council. We can easily see the error in such thinking. Secondly, we also find a group which has reacted to the errors and excesses of the first: these are some "traditionalists" of various leanings (mostly the Sede Vacantists) who maintain that the errors that stem from Vatican Council II are such that prove false teaching was taught "officially" from the papal throne, (or at least) with the blessing of the pope. Of course, as they understand, if the popes of Vatican II are "non-popes" the whole argument about the Council makes little sense, as a false-pope cannot "teach" anything, official or otherwise. These maintain that since, on a magisterial level, the Church cannot approve error, that everyone associated with the Council is a non-Catholic and well, you know the rest! Truth be told, any discussion with either group does not end well for the level-headed Catholic. The Catholic knows, of course, that error cannot possibly be taught officially by the Roman Catholic Church.
Let's try to look at this problem by understanding some terms: The word "magesterium" comes from the Latin which means "teacher." The "teaching" authority of the Church is entrusted to Peter (the head of the Apostles) and with the bishops who are under Peter. The "magesterium" or "teaching office" of the Church is to be found both in the "solemn" or "extraordinary" exercise, when the Pope, or a General Council (presided over by a Pope) teaches infallibly that which must be believed by the universal Church. For that reason, the papal document "Quo Primum" on the Traditional Mass, is not an infallible act, since this was a directive for the Roman or Latin Rite of the Church alone. It did not contain universal teaching on faith or morals for the "whole Church." At the same time, Quo Primum cannot be tossed out lightly, or treated with disregard as it was (another story for another day).
I would ask any well-intentioned traditionalist to read the definition of Vatican Council I on the Infallibility of the Pope, prior to your writing or sending off an angry email. Please let me know as regards how Quo Primum figures into that definition of infallibility, and let me know how this was to be applied to the "universal Church" which also includes about 20 or so non-Latin Rites.
Besides the solemn or extraordinary magesterium, we also have what is called the "ordinary" magesterium of the Church. The ordinary magesterium is that which is the continual exercise of teaching. The distinctions between "solemn" and "ordinary" will be delved into later.
How do we, or how should we understand Vatican II? This Council, which ended in 1964, was in fact described as something unique: it was called as a "pastoral" Council. Something that is "pastoral" in nature would not seem to be the meat for an infallible ecumenical Council. Pastoral is often used in reference to perhaps a "pastoral letter" which might be in the form of a communication from a Diocesan Ordinary (bishop) to the clergy and faithful of his diocese. These are often read at a Sunday Mass, published in the diocesan press etc. "Pastoral" might mean that which touches the spiritual life of the people. We also have what is called as "Pastoral Theology." Would anyone maintain that Vatican II, a "pastoral" in nature Council, was on the level, or had the same authority as Vatican Council I or the Council of Trent? What dogma or teaching were solemnly defined for the universal Church at Vatican II? What does "pastoral" have to do with infallible doctrine being defined?
Certainly, if Vatican II was intended as an infallible Council, a solemn act of the magesterium, the Cardinal would never urged anyone to "make reservations" -certain or otherwise! Is the Catholic ever permitted to make reservations about solemn doctrine? Doctrine is simply to be believed.
