Love and Power
Part 1: New World Notes #304, 28:40 (December 31):
Part 2: New World Notes #305, 29:18 (January 7, 2014):
We adapt to radio a documentary film by Adam Curtis.
Advocates of (1) computer networks, (2) Ayn Rand-ian "heroic individualism," and (3) financial deregulation--each claimed that their cause would increase personal freedom, expand democracy, and produce eternal prosperity and stability. These three causes were interconnected--and were combined in Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan.
All believed that the best thing politicians and governments could do would be to get out of the way and let "the New Economy" work its magic unhindered.
But it was all nonsense. This film explores these interconnected 20th-century delusions and their aftermath.
Part 1 takes us from the emergence of Ayn Rand in the 1950s to the economic bubble of the Clinton years (late 1990s).
Part 2 explores the love-affairs that damaged Ayn Rand's influence and Bill Clinton's power. It shows how computers and deregulation nearly destroyed the economies of several Asian countries while enriching U.S. bankers. And it shows how today's U.S. economy has been propped up and stabilized not by "heroic individuals" or computers or deregulated financial markets--but by politicians and government. Specifically: by the politicians and government of China.
Love and Power (2011) is the first segment of Adam Curtis' trilogy, All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace.
Comic Satire for Christmas (2013 Edition)
New World Notes #303, 27:15 (December 24, 2013)
(Not satire: a real ad)
Some brief commentary by me, five seasonal satiric songs, and one satiric imitation Broadway "big production number." All take a comic but critical view of American hypocrisies, religiosity, commercialism, militarism, class warfare, and other Christmastime traditions.
I'm especially fond of the pseudo- "big production number": Stan Freberg's 1958 masterpiece, "Green Chri$tma$." The audio fidelity is very good even by today's standards; the production is rich and sophisticated; the script is witty; and the message (alas) is still relevant.
Other contributions by Hugh Blumenfeld, Simon and Garfunkel, Anne Feeney, Roy Zimmerman, and Tom Lehrer.
Hugh Blumenfeld, "Long-Haired Radical Socialist Jew"
Simon and Garfunkel, "Silent Night / Six O'Clock News"

Dispatches from the War on Christmas
New World Notes #302 (December 17, 2013)
A mostly lighthearted look at the right wing's favorite fantasy. Which is: that "secular progressives" have declared a "war on Christmas"--part of their larger war to destroy Christianity, promote drug use, legalize prostitution and narcotics, etc., etc.
We'll hear ravings by Bill O'Reilly, a funny rebuttal by Jon Stewart, personal reflections by KD, and a short history lesson. (The only real wars against Christmas were fought by the Puritan Christians.) We end with selections from a fine comic audio collage on the subject by Scooter.
The uncut, 30-minute version of Scooter's collage (and other interesting audio) is available from his Web site, www.aksisofevil.org.
Obamacare to Ecocide
New World Notes #301 (December 10)
This time we start with comic absurdity--a funny satire on the Obamacare rollout.
Then we move to scary absurdity--the NYPD shoots some more innocent bystanders, then blames the unarmed man they were shooting at (Glenn Broadnax) for the bystanders' bullet wounds.
We end with global calamity, with a fine talk (from 2011) by radical ecology activist Derrick Jensen.
Something for everybody!

New World Notes #300 (December 3, 2013)
Li'l Oscar and the Wienermobile
(I saw them in person ca. 1957.)
'Tis the season to think of food. Not only the stuff itself but the politics, economics, and ecology of the American agricultural system. Some personal reflections by KD are interwoven with eight short commentaries by progressive populist Jim Hightower and a song.
Topics include packaging chicanery at the supermarket, declining food-safety rules for corporate meatpackers, low wages at fast-food chains, huge "agricultural" subsidies for the rich, how the drug-warriors destroyed an organic farm, and a family vegetable farmer near Hartford decides to add a few pigs and sell a little pork.
Jim Hightower's recorded commentaries are from his Web site.
False Stories TV Tells Us
New World Notes #299 (November 26):
Dr George Gerbner (1919-2005)
Most of what we know about how the world works comes from the stories we are told. For a few generations now, most of the stories have been created by the corporate elite and told though the corporate-owned mass media--especially television. Researcher Dr. George Gerbner discusses how American TV distorts our understanding of how the world works.
Example: TV violence does not increase real-world violence. But it does make people more afraid of violence--and more supportive of harsh "anti-crime" measures.
Gerbner's research found that the more you watch TV, the more afraid of your environment you're likely to be. And the more you watch, the more you are likely to believe that women are not as capable as men, that racism does not exist, that most Americans are middle-class, that most Black Americans are middle-class, that poverty is not a social problem, and that the cure for crime is more police, more jails, longer sentences, and more capital punishment.
Gerbner's career as a communications scholar included 25 years as Dean of the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School of Communication (1964-1989). He died in 2005.
Apokaluptein Tales
Occupy Wall Street, 2011
An intriguing audio collage (from 2010) by Virtual Renderings--condensed for radio by KD. It weaves together political commentary, music, clips from the movie The Matrix, and more. It combines critical views ranging from the Left (Noam Chomsky) to the far Right (stefbot)--and music ranging from the Stones to Harry Shearer to J.S. Bach and more.
It's an engaging, intelligent critique of a U.S. corporate state that pretends to be capitalism and pretends to be democracy. Wrong on both counts!
More from Virtual Renderings:

The Hollow Men
New World Notes #297 (November 12, 2013):
Morris Berman
KD's brief reflections on folk holidays (Halloween--good) vs. corporate holidays (Black Friday--bad) set the stage for a brilliant and witty short talk by historian Morris Berman.
Berman sees the essential hollowness of America's leaders as a reflection of the hollowness at the core of many of us--and the hollowness of The American Dream. In its present form The American Dream is little more than a wish for more stuff. The current political/economic system does seem to be unsustainable and collapsing--leaving Morris with decidedly mixed emotions.
Then singing comic-satirist Roy Zimmerman offers a more upbeat view of the oddness of American life. The show ends with a few lines of T.S. Eliot's 88-year-old poem, from which we've swiped our title.
Thanks to Robin Upton and Unwelcome Guests for Berman's talk.
Can the People Change the System?
New World Notes #296 (November 5, 2013):
It's strictly coincidence--honest!--but this installment will first be broadcast on Election Day 2013. The election here is for city council, school board, and so on--so maybe it will not be as meaningless as our Presidential elections have been.
Hope springs eternal. But Chris Hedges reminds us that hope needs to be grounded in reality.
In any case, this week Hedges returns, reflecting on American capitalism run amok--driving Americans closer to poverty and destroying the ecosystem.
And he reflects on the U.S. government, dedicated to furthering the interests of the corporate elite at the expense of the 99%.
Fears of popular rebellion against the (unsustainable) system--not terrorism--have moved the Obama administration to destroy Americans' civil liberties and spy on every citizen. But since the radical Left has been destroyed--and since the Democratic Party is as devoted to protecting the elite as the Republican Party is--change from within the system is impossible, thinks Hedges.
What to do? Hedges sees making the elite afraid of the people--through widespread nonviolent resistance and protest--as the only strategy that has a chance of working.
A sobering but intellectually powerful and persuasive talk. Excerpted from interviews with Paul Jay on The Real News Network (therealnews.com). Thanks to Robin Upton, of the Unwelcome Guests radio show, for the audio, which I have edited (unwelcomeguests.net).
War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning
New World Notes #295 (October 29, 2013):
Prophet and former war correspondent Chris Hedges reflects on the psychologically destructive--yet addicting--nature of war.
He focuses not on rulers and generals but on the people on the ground--civilians and enlisted soldiers and war correspondents too. This talk is based on his own experience and based on his book, War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning (2002).
Plus some additional reflections by Hedges on PTSD among soldiers who fought in World War Two.
Audio courtesy of Robin Upton's Unwelcome Guests radio program (http://unwelcomeguests.net).
Can Technology Save Us?
Even though you know the answer (no), you'll probably still enjoy the show, which features selections from two funny and inteligent talks.
Jello Biafra explains how the last supposedly revolutionary technological advances--cell phones and the Internet--have weakened real communities and increased alienation.
Then urban-design theorist James Howard Kunstler discusses our technology gurus' (at Google) inability to understand that technology cannot solve the problem of declining fossil fuel reserves. In a nutshell: you can make iPods out of petroleum (Dude,) but not vice versa.
This installment is a replay of NWN #58 (April 2009).

The Prostitute Press, the War Machine, and Anwar al-Awlaki
Part 1: New World Notes # 292 (October 8):
Part 2: New World Notes # 293 -- (October 15):
A fine talk by journalist Jeremy Scahill based in part on his recent book, Dirty Wars.
He tells the story of the radicalization of U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki--who was assassinated by order of President Obama in 2011. But this is also the story of an ever-expanding national security state, of the U.S.'s ever-expanding global wars, and of Barack Obama's war against whistleblowers and press freedom.
And it's also the story of the corrupt U.S. news media, determined to serve the powerful rather than hold them to account.
In Part One, Scahill lambastes the Establishment media's Washington press corps and begins the story of Awlaki. He shows how how the Bush Administration's "Global War on Terror" transformed this American from a nonpolitical student . . . to the darling of the Washington elite . . . to a radical opponent of the U.S.'s wars in the Middle East--and a man marked for death by the Obama administration.
In Part 2, Scahill tells of Obama's secret war in Yemen, revealed by Yemeni journalist Abduleleh Haider Shaye--who was then abducted by US forces and imprisoned by Yemen's dictator at the insistence of President Obama. Scahill contrasts Haider Shaye's courage with the sycophancy of the US press corps.
Scahill tells also of the Obama administration's war against the press--and of the government-ordered assassination without trial of US citizens Anwar al-Awlaki and then his 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman.
Jeremy gave this talk at the "Socialism 2013" conference, in Chicago, in June 2013. A video is available from wearemany.org.
16-year-old American citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, son of Anwar. Killed in Yemen by a U.S. drone strike two weeks after his father was killed. The President refuses to say why.
Palast & Pilger on Colonialism & Democracy
New World Notes #291 (October 1, 2013):
Broadcast-quality MP3 (40 MB)
(L to R:) Hugo Chavez (Venezuela),
Fidel Castro (Cuba), Evo Morales (Bolivia)
Two dispatches from South America show progress from (1) colonialism to (2) neocolonialism to (3) neocolonialism disguised as democracy to (4) democracy.
Greg Palast reports from Ecuador (Stage 3), ruthlessly exploited by & practically a colony of the World Bank and global financial institutions. John Pilger reports from Bolivia, which has recently and tentatively arrived at Stage 4. The US should be so fortunate!
We play selections (on Bolivia) from John Pilger's film, War on Democracy, adapted to radio by Lyn Gerry for the Unwelcome Guests Collective (http://unwelcomeguests.net). Many thanks. KD reads passages on Ecuador from Greg Palast's book, Armed Madhouse.

Vermont Yankee, Farewell (Sort of)
New World Notes #290 (September 24, 2013):
Entergy Corporation's Vermont Yankee
Nuclear Power Station (2004)
The good news: New England's most decrepit nuclear power plant--Vermont Yankee--is ceasing operations after more than four decades.
The bad news: All its deadly radioactive material will just sit there untouched, on the banks of the Connecticut River, for the next 60 years.
The really odd news: For many years the public has tried and failed to shut this plant down. For three years, the Vermont legislature has tried and failed to shut this plant down. But the owner, Entergy Corporation, defeated every attempt to close its little New England moneymaker. Then in August 2013, Entergy Corp. itself decided to shut to shut the plant down. Just another business decision.
Moral: The public be damned, but business is business!
We'll hear details on the closing and then selections from Dr. Helen Caldicott's memorable 2009 speech--in Brattleboro, Vermont--on why the people have to shut Vermont Yankee down (and all its brethren as well).
Vermont Yankee, 2007 (cooling tower collapse)

US vs Syria: What the Heck is Going On?
New World Notes #289 (September 17, 2013:
President Obama's rationale for bombing Syria is so preposterous, so illegal--and so unpersuasive to the American public--that one has to ask, What is this warmongering really about?
The show features some provocative answers to that question by commentators Bruce Dixon and Eric Margolis, law professor Marjorie Cohn, singer Pete Seeger, and yours, truly. One thing all agree on: chemical weapons are not the real reason.

Temujin Doran (Click to enlarge)
The propaganda barrage preceding the US attack on Syria has begun. So all the more timely is Temujin Doran's new film, Obey: How the Rise of Mass Propaganda Killed Populism. It's about the military, political, and economic crimes of the Corporate State. It features readings from from Chris Hedges' 2010 book, Death of the Liberal Class.
In Part One, we'll hear the first half of Obey and then--to cheer things up a bit--a sweet short film by Doran explaining the slogan, "Keep calm and carry on."
In Part Two, we'll have some words about our Syria war-fever, and we'll read Chidanand Rajghatta's new essay, "Why America Cannot Live Without Wars." Then on to the second half of Obey.

The Costs of Imperialism
Part 1: New World Notes #285 (August 20):
Broadcast quality MP3 (40MB)
A brilliant, witty speech by Progressive political scientist Michael Parenti, delivered in 1994. First in a New World Notes series of classic talks by Parenti.
In Part 1, Parenti argues that the U.S. is an imperial power. However, the goal of this empire is not national glory but rather increasing the profits of the Fortune 500. He shows how "neoimperialism" has replaced "direct-rule" imperialism, how empires cannibalize the republics from which they sprang, and how imperialism is a matter of class politics more than national politics.
In Part 2, Parenti develops his point that empires are about class and wealth, not nationalism. Empires are ruinously expensive, but the expense is paid by [what we would now call] the 99% in order to make the 1% even richer. The costs include not only dollars but also environmental damage, the gutting of the civilian economy, loss of liberty, degradation of politics and public discourse, increasing poverty, many deaths and injuries of our soldiers, and many others.
The gloomy picture is enlivened by Parenti's trademark wit and humor.
With many examples from recent U.S. history. Introduction by K.D.
Note: In Part 1, Parenti and I each discuss the U.S.'s glorious military victory over the island nation of Grenada. This year marks our great triumph's 30th anniversary!
Surveillance Then and Now
New World Notes #284 (August 13)
View of the National Security Agency campus,

MORE Things Fall Apart
New World Notes #282 (July 30):
KD reflects on still more appliances that are self-destructing everywhere he turns. Somehow his ailing washing machine becomes a metaphor for all that's wrong with the U.S. government and economic system. With a comic-satiric song by Roy Zimmerman and a new video by the Progressive economists, ECON4.
Michael Parenti vs God & His Demons
Part One -- New World Notes #280 (July 16):
Part Two -- New World Notes #281 (July 23):
In a telephone interview with me on April 6, 2010, Left-leaning political scientist Michael Parenti discusses his book, God and His Demons (Prometheus Books)--a survey of the woes caused in the name of, and by, Organized Religion.
In Part One, Parenti talks about rampant child sexual abuse by the Christian (and other) clergy and the coverup thereof--and now, at the Vatican, the coverup of the coverup. He talks about the venality of the Protestant televangelists and the oppressive Buddhist theocracy in Tibet before the Chinese Communists took over. He talks about our society's ignoring some sins frequently denounced in the Bible--e.g., charging high interest rates ("usury")--while we piously condemn "sins" the Bible never mentions (gay marriage, abortion). And he rebuts creationism, "Intelligent Design," . . . and some of the conclusions of Charles Darwin.
In Part Two, Parenti discusses the unholy alliance of the Church, the nation-state, and economic power; ... FEMA's enlistment of the clergy to preach obedience to authority; ... and the Christian Right's takeover of the Air Force Academy. He ends with praise for 2 unorthodox 16th-century Christians--Montaigne and Giordano Bruno--and explaining why, despite everything, he's not an atheist.
These installments were originally broadcast, as NWN #112 & 113, in April-May 2010.
Music added: satiric songs by Roy Zimmerman.
Naomi Klein on CIA Project MK-ULTRA
New World Notes #279, for Tuesday, July 9 (WWUH)
Decent quality MP3 (smaller size)
For two decades or more, the CIA conducted secret experiments in torture and mind-control as Project MK-ULTRA. As subjects they used American and Canadian citizens who were unaware of what was happening to them.
Naomi Klein tells the story of Gail Kastner, who discovered decades later that the CIA (via her psychiatrist) had permanently damaged her mind with drugs, sensory deprivation, and electroshock.
Klein reads from her book, The Shock Doctrine.
This installment is a rerun of New World Notes #64 (May 2009). The profusely illustrated blog page for the original broadcast is well worth a look.
Imperialism at Home and Abroad
Broadcast quality MP3 direct from our alternative server, in case of difficulty downloading
Includes the final part of Glen Ford's talk (begun in NWN #276 & 277) plus a short commentary by Ford and a song by David Rovics.
This week, Ford's focus is the US's current attempt (by means of AFRICOM) to control Africa's resources and trade by controlling Africa's militaries. And relatedly, Ford addresses the US government's war against civil liberties at home.
Rovics' song, Meanwhile in Afghanistan, gives another view of military attacks overseas and attacks on the Bill of Rights at home.

Glen Ford on
(in 2+ parts)
A fine talk Glen Ford gave at Trinity College, in Hartford, on April 6.
Ford shows that much of American foreign policy--including military interventions in the Third World--is all about containing China.
The US cannot compete with China economically because Wall Street sold off our manufacturing assets to inflate its own profits. To protect corporate profits, the US's only remaining source of power is its huge military--which the government is now wielding globally with blatant disregard of national sovereignty and international law.
Ford speaking in Hartford, April 6, 2013
Ford's talk was recorded on video by The Struggle (www.thestruggle.org). Many thanks to them. I have lightly edited the audio, removing stumbles and hesitations.

Vol. 6, No. 23 -- June 11, 2013
This week in New World Notes, radio program #275, June 11, 2013
Two critical views of the American economic system--one trivial, one profound.
First, product marketing run amok. K.D. discusses the 40 different varieties of Colgate toothpaste at the supermarket.* Then we explore why spray cooking oil--which is 99% fat--is sold as "fat-free spray oil."
Then Noam Chomsky discusses Big Business's expensive campaign to accelerate global climate change regardless of its threat to all life on the planet. This recent talk is titled, Wrecking Nature for Short-Term Profit.
* Full disclosure: Stop & Shop in Manchester had only 29 varieties. Anyone desperately needing Colgate Total Zx Pro-Shield Plus Sensitivity is just going to have to settle for Colgate MaxFresh with Mini Breath Strips--Crystal Mint.
The state-socialist economic system of the Soviet Union resulted in plentiful arctic ice but frequent shortages of consumer products. The capitalist economic system of the United States has resulted in 40 different varieties of Colgate toothpaste alone--to say nothing of "fat-free" spray oil--but a bit of a shortage of arctic ice. This proves that the obviously superior economic system is ... er ... give me another minute ...
Of particular interest: Chomsky explains that the Magna Carta (signed in 1215) had two sections. The section establishing political liberties (the Charter of Liberties--the part you've heard of) has been largely scrapped by the Bush II and Obama administrations. The section they never told you about, the Charter of Forests,established the people's rights to free use of the natural resources they needed to live. This part was scrapped a couple of centuries back, in the early days of capitalism.

The "Seven Sisters" and the Oil of the Middle East
This week in New World Notes, radio programs #273-274, May 28 & June 4, 2013
The "Seven Sisters"
and the Oil of the Middle East
(in 2 parts)
The "Seven Sisters" was Big Oil. It was the cartel of huge private oil corporations that ended up owning almost all the oil in the Middle East. They stole and kept this treasure by hook and by crook, in violation of many laws, with help from corrupt monarchs abroad and muscle from the U.S. government, armed forces, and CIA.
We adapt to radio a new video documentary. Part 1 takes us from the founding of the cartel in 1928 (by Standard Oil, Shell, and BP) to the creation of OPEC in 1960.
Of note in Part 1: The story of how BP came to own all of the oil in Iran--and how, in 1953, Iran's parliament tried to regain control of the country's oil--and how the United States government responded by overthrowing Iran's democratic government and installing the Shah as dictator of Iran. (We then gave Iran's oil to US-based oil companies, not back to BP.)
Part 2 takes us from the creation of OPEC in 1960 to the fate of Iraq today (its oil weath again taken away from the Iraqi people and again handed over to the big oil companies). Includes the Suez crisis, OPEC price hikes, Iraq's nationalizing of its oil in 1972 (succeeding where Iran in 1953 had failed), the Iranian revolution, and Gulf Wars I and II.
Introduction by K.D.
Man of the Year: The last prime minister of democratic Iran, Mohammad Mossadeq (January 1952). In 1953, the Iranian parliament nationalized the country's oil, threatening BP's profits. The United States overthrew Iran's government, installed the Shah as dictator, and handed Iran's oil back to the big Western oil companies.

It can be tough to find the balance between giving listeners too much information too quickly and not giving them enough or repeating information they've already heard.
As you write your verses and bridge, keep the path through your song clear. Make sure things are moving forward, not going in circles or repeating the same thing over and over.
Here are some development paths your song might take. Notice that each path leads the listener into and through a situation, keeping the momentum rolling forward and giving new information as it goes along.
Path #1 – Deal with a problem.
Chorus: Here's how I feel about it.
Bridge: This is how I hope to find a way through this.
Path #2 – Give us a history.
Verse 1: I remember the great beginning of our love.
Chorus: This is what it felt like.
Verse 2: Things changed. Everything is different now.
Bridge: Can we get back to the way things were?
Path #3 – Build it up.
Verse 1: I took a chance.
Chorus: Now my life has changed.
Verse 2: I risked everything for happiness.
Bridge: It was worth it.
You can find more development paths by listening to well-written hit songs. You'll notice that some songs share similar paths. It's how the path is personalized by the songwriter that makes it unique and gives it strength. A path is just the outline of a song. How you flesh it out is up to you. Make each path your own with the details and emotions of your specific situation and characters.


Keeping the camera steady is another problem that amateur photographers usually commit. A simple fact is that a camera shutter is never as fast as the human eye when it comes to capturing a scene, and if your hands are unstable when you are taking a photo, you will end up with a blurry image and miss an 'artistic' moment worth taking.
You can minimize or completely eliminate camera shake by using a tripod or by increasing the shutter speed to a setting higher than the focal length. For example, if you're shooting at a focal length equivalent to 100 mm, you should set your shutter speed to 1/100 of a second or faster. The digital image sensor will save and capture the image before additional information from the passing light and lens movement can be registered.
Or by proper positioning your body while holding the camera greatly reduces camera shake and by doing so, with proper pose while taking photos, you demonstrate a high level of photography similar to professionals.
On the other hand, red-eye is the phenomenon where people have glowing red eyes in photographs. This is caused by the close proximity of the flash, especially built-in flash, to the camera lens, which causes light from the subject to be reflected directly back at the camera. When it is dim, the iris of the eye enlarges to let more light in, and when the flash goes off from the camera, the light reflects on the iris causing this error. People with blue eyes are more susceptible to red-eye because they have less pigment to absorb the light. Although most digital cameras have a red-eye reduction or removal feature, one can correct the error by using photo software like Photoshop.

* Exclusive Premiere: Smudge All Stars New Track & Animated Video…
Smudge All Stars is the brainchild of Richie Stevens – the son of the late John Stevens, the pioneer of British free jazz. Richie is a respected drummer, percussionist and producer, working with many stars.
With Smudge All Stars, Richie draws on his friendship with many leading British, Jamaican and US musicians. The superb debut self-titled album drops this week (27th November 2020) on Pegdoll Records.
It features a star-studded soul and funk collective, including George Clinton, Lee Scratch Perry, 'Pee Wee' Ellis, Fred Wesley, Soul II Soul's Charlotte Kelly, Dennis Bovell, Earl Sixteen, Omar and more.
Music Republic Magazine exclusively premiere the animated video to the track, "Freaky Toe", and if you dig the likes of Cameo, Rick James, Parliament, Funkadelic and The Gap Band, this is for you.
Richie Stevens has worked with many top artists including Horace Andy, Joss Stone, Boy George and Damon Albarn. But this project is Richie's musical vision in his own right. A party album in the old school P-funk tradition.
All instrumentation was recorded live, with Ritchie calling on the original Horny Horns: Fred Wesley and Alfred 'Pee Wee' Ellis to help build a fat brass groove for the authentic P-Funk vibe. George Clinton guests on vocals to add 24-carat gold dust to this mother funker of an album.
"Eight years ago, compelled to generate some funk, I started a bag of jams. By chance, I ran in to Omar in a supermarket and he improvised some melodies on the sketches. Then sitting in Liverpool St station, I was compelled again, this time to reconnect with George Clinton.
"His vocal for 'Up Is Just A Place' was gifted to the project. This raised the funk bar so high that it took another five years to complete an album worthy of his genius, and took the help of the finest musicians I know. This whole project is, in a word, a jam…..with the finest musicians and artists you could find, who wouldn't wanna do that?", so says Mr Stevens.
The 10-tracks kick off with second single "Brutal Funk"; a rousing psychedelic funk workout that encompasses a delicious groove cooked up by the famed Jamiroquai member DJ D-Zire, and the powerful vocals of British soul singer Mary Pearce.
"Up is Just a Place", featuring the legendary funk monster George Clinton, continues the party vibes together with Mary Pearce, MWS, Derek 'Dr Mouthquake' Green and British soul hero Omar.
"B Side" sees Mary Pearce join Derek 'Dr Mouthquake' Green, accompanied by American trombonist Fred Wesley (James Brown, Parliament-Funkadelic) who adds a distinctive touch to the track.
The sole ballad, "Headache", also features George Clinton,who is joined by Niara Scarlett (Roots Manuva, M. J. Cole, Basement Jaxx, Xenomania).
"2 Cold 2 Hold" adds a gospel-tinged groove and blues vibe, courtesy of harmonica player Mitt Gamon (Godley and Creme, Boy George, The Ruts, Sam Brown, Murray Head, the Gang of Four).
Former single "Our Lives", marries funk and reggae, showcasing instrumentation from Dennis Bovell and vocals from the legendary Lee Scratch Perry and Earl Sixteen (Leftfield, Dreadzone).
"Still Here" features some stunning reed work from gifted British alto saxophonist James Gardiner-Bateman. Closing proceedings is "Discopia", which features Charlotte Kelly, George Pantelonius and Camelle Hines.

50th Earth Day Highlights Our Wildlife Heritage, Importance of Nature Amid COVID-19 Crisis
Aileo Weinmann
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the global public health crisis are both stark reminders of why we need to protect wildlife and safeguard our air, water and public lands.
"The 50th anniversary of Earth Day is a golden opportunity to reflect upon the importance of wildlife conservation and safely connect with nature," said Collin O'Mara, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. "The unprecedented public health crisis we face today is a stark reminder of how we must remain vigilant to safeguard our wildlife, air, water and public lands. From accelerating climate change to an escalating wildlife extinction crisis, we all can make a difference. This Earth Day we may be physically distancing, but together we can and must act to ensure our wildlife and way of life endure for future generations."
Learn more about how you can connect with nature, support wildlife, and celebrate Earth Day:
Consider starting a garden for wildlife to help reach the goal of certifying our 250,000th wildlife habitat in 2020.
Tune in to watch remarks on April 25 during Earth Day Live from Mustafa Santiago Ali, vice president of environmental justice, climate, and community revitalization at the National Wildlife Federation.

Q: Why can't I use dragula in Vue3 setup but mounted? When I use dragula in vue3 setup. It isn't working. Like this:
setup() {
    const dragFrom = ref(null);
    const dragTo = ref(null);
    onMounted(() => {
      dragula([dragFrom, dragTo], {
        copy: (el) => {
          console.log(el);
          return true;
        },
        accepts: () => {
          return true;
        },
      });
    });
    return { dragFrom, dragTo };
}

But this way can be successful:
mounted() {
    const dragFrom = this.$refs.dragFrom;
    const dragTo = this.$refs.dragTo;
    dragula([dragFrom, dragTo], {
      copy: function (el, source) {
        console.log(el);
        return true;
      },
      accepts: function (el, target) {
        return true;
      },
    });
}

Both methods are based on vue3.What's wrong?

A: Your issue comes from the fact that you are not accessing the value of the ref, i.e. dragFrom.value and dragTo.value when passing them into the dragula() function. Remember that when you create a reactive and mutable ref object, you will need to access its inner value using the .value property.
This should therefore work:
setup() {
    const dragFrom = ref(null);
    const dragTo = ref(null);
    onMounted(() => {

      // Ensure you access the VALUE of the ref!
      dragula([dragFrom.value, dragTo.value], {
        copy: (el) => {
          console.log(el);
          return true;
        },
        accepts: () => {
          return true;
        },
      });
    });
    return { dragFrom, dragTo };
}

Q: SQL 2008 and SQL 2008 R2 Server hangs on 'Welcome' screen while connecting using RDP We are having an issue with the SQL 2008 and SQL 2008 R2 servers in our environment..
While trying to log in using RDP.. the connection hangs on the 'Welcome' screen.. the server seems to be running alright and the databases can be accessed using SQL Management Studio.. but no one can log on the server.. Any thoughts??

A: If you have physical access, or kvm, check the console, barring that, try mstsc /admin; if that's no go, I would try running EventViewer on another computer in the same domain and connecting it to the server, something may be getting logged that will help.

A: Check out this url How to: View and Read SQL Server Setup Log Files  and post back any errors you might find.

A: I assume you have tried multiple users logging in over RDP, eliminating a single corrupt user profile?
As mentioned in another answer, try logging onto the actual machine as opposed to over RDP to see if you can get in that way (try it with a local admin login too).
If you can get in on the console, try removing a user profile which is having problems logging on via RDP and try it again. I've seen the logon screen hang configuring Internet Explorer before (I'd just rebooted after installing IE8) and deleting the affected user profile folder did the trick.

Everybody is Mad at Touré For Supporting Obama's Drone Wars
Jordan Sargent
Filed to: Cable News
Cable News
Toure
Touré (pictured above interviewing T.I.) is a fine writer — or at least he was at one point. Now he mostly spends his time as a helium-filled talking head, floating drably across MSNBC's midday airwaves. This is a pretty cushy job, seeing as you can say basically anything without anyone giving a shit since the only people watching cable news during the day are those being crushed to death by boredom in lobbies across the country. But there's a catch: when you get paid to talk in circles every day, sometimes you'll find yourself arguing a position you probably should not be arguing. And if you're stubborn enough and your argument is stupid enough — you are on cable news, after all — then you might find yourself in the center of a firestorm.
Never Drank the Kool-Aid: Essays
And so we come to the ballad of Touré, who today expressed his support of Barack Obama's right to kill American citizens — specifically, American citizens that have joined Al-Qaeda — via unmanned drones.
MSNBC's The Cycle erupted into a heated verbal battle over the ethicality of drone warfare on Tuesday. Co-hosts S.E. Cupp and Steve Kornacki expressed serious reservations over a memo leaked to NBC News by the Justice Department detailing the legal framework that allows for the targeting and killing of an American citizen abroad by an unmanned drone. Touré, however, found his fellow hosts' objections to be misguided, and repeatedly said he was "comfortable" with the White House's guidelines governing drone warfare.
Touré then dug deeper.
"It's hard to say, 'let's not do things because we might radicalize other people,'" Touré said of his co-host's objections to drone strikes.
"But that was the argument under Bush," Cupp interjected.
"But when we say, 'this person is leading Al Qaeda to do things' – as soon as you join Al Qaeda, you become an imminent threat," Touré added as his fellow hosts exploded
This continued to go on, with Touré standing his ground as his fellow panelists exhaled in exasperation around him. Then he went on Twitter and dug the hole even deeper.
He's the Commander in Chief. RT @kirstenpowers10: You are fine w the White House deciding who is guilty and who should die?
— Touré (@Toure) February 5, 2013
No. RT @mchastain81: Dear @toure. A US citizen is allowed due process no matter what they have done, even an AQ leader.
You'll never see the right care so much about civil liberties as when you start talking about the rights of Americans in Al Qaeda. #Weird
And so Touré caught the wrath of the Twittersphere, from Glenn Greenwald to Andrew Kaczynski to our own Mobutu Sese Seko. But of course, tomorrow is a new day, and someone else will be the village idiot. It probably won't be Touré, who will happily live on in the land of afternoon nothingness... until he says something beyond-the-pale once again.

Preview: Women's basketball a work in progress

By Adin Link | Staff Writer
With the women's basketball season approaching, this year's Panther squad will feature experience and excitement as a squad of returning players and fresh faces prepare to make an impact.
"I don't look at us as being so young anymore because we do have the experience," head coach Suzie McConnell-Serio said. "I look at us as a more experienced team … with so many new players."
With six new players, Pitt's roster will need to fill some big roles from last season. For starters, the Panthers will be without last year's leading scorer, forward Brenna Wise, after she transferred to Indiana. On top of leading with 14.3 points per game, Wise was the team's leading rebounder with 6.4 rebounds per game. And she was the only Panther to start in all 30 games.
Pitt will be without some other familiar faces on the court this upcoming season, including center Brandi Harvey-Carr — last season's second-leading scorer — and forward Destinie Gibbs. Harvey-Carr played her final season as a graduate transfer and Gibbs as a redshirt senior.
Despite the losses, Pitt is returning with a plethora of talent from last year's team. Now a senior, Aysia Bugg could be a main facilitator in Pitt's offense, as she led the team in assists per game last year at 5.4. But she is currently out with a knee injury, so her role could be filled by sophomore guard Jasmine Whitney.

Whitney played her first college season last year, playing in all 30 games and starting in 17. She earned the ACC Women's Basketball Rookie of the Week title twice, while also posting eight double-figure scoring performances.
In addition to Whitney and Bugg, Pitt returns another starter in junior forward Kauai Bradley. Bradley was a staple on the defensive side of the ball last season as she led the team in steals and was second in blocks.
Pitt will also be receiving offensive help from forward Yacine Diop as she returns from the injury that led to her medical redshirt season. Before her junior-year injury, Diop started every game as a sophomore and was Pitt's second leading scorer in the 2015-2016 season.
With eight returning players, the Panthers have welcomed a six player first-year class, including highly touted international prospect Kyla Nelson. Nelson, hailing from Worthing, England, was the captain of Great Britain's senior women's national team. She also played for Oaklands College in England where she averaged 16.1 points per game.
McConnell-Serio also recruited 6-foot-2 forward Magatte Sall. Originally from Senegal, she played for Victory Rock Prep in Florida. Prior to that, Sall competed for ASC de Thies in Senegal where she was named MVP in her sophomore and junior seasons.
The Panthers international ties in the first-year class continue with forward Pika Rodriguez who played in the U19 FIBA world cup this past summer for Puerto Rico. Rodriguez even competed against the United States U19 team coached by McConnell-Serio.
"When you have players that can have that type of experience, playing internationally at a high level, they bring that to your team," McConnell-Serio said. "There's a different level of play and that needs to be contagious. It brings the level of play up among the team as well."
This new talent might be just what the Panthers need. Pitt's struggle was evident in its 13-17 record last year, but the team struggled against ACC opponents even more, recording a 4-12 season. The ACC Blue Ribbon Panel released its preseason awards and rankings earlier this month, in which the Panthers are predicted to finished in 13th, only ahead of Boston College and Clemson.
"You never really know what you look like until you see your team against another team," McConnell-Serio said. "We're just excited about what we're seeing, but hopefully it transfers into game situations."
For the women's basketball team to succeed this year, the players will have to quickly adjust to playing with such a young group of new teammates. The Panthers' first regular season chance is Nov. 10, against the Youngstown State Penguins at 7 p.m. in the Petersen Events Center.

La SMS Amazone era una corvetta di legno del tipo caravella della flotta prussiana, che svolse principalmente servizio come nave scuola per l'addestramento degli allievi ufficiali prussiani della Scuola di navigazione di Danzica. Sebbene passata alle dipendenze del Ministero delle Finanze prussiano e venisse anche utilizzata per l'addestramento di marinai civili ha continuato ad innalzaree la bandiera di guerra prussiana.

Storia
Costruita a Grabow presso Stettino venne varata il 24 giugno 1843 entrando in servizio il 19 maggio 1844.

Nel suo primo grande viaggio, nel 1844, raggiunse l'Inghilterra, il Portogallo, Gibilterra, la Grecia e l'Impero ottomano fino al Mar Nero. Nel 1845 salpò per la Danimarca, l'Inghilterra e la Spagna fino a Genova. Nel 1847 attraversò l'Atlantico con destinazione New York.

Tra il 1848 e il 1852 fece parte della Reichsflotte, la Marina del Deutsches Reich, stato di brevissima durata evoluzione della Confederazione tedesca.

Dopo un riallestimento nel 1852 presso il Regio arsenale di Danzica, nel 1853 la nave attraversò nuovamente l'Atlantico per recarsi in Sud America e in Nord America e nel 1857 ha effettuato visitò Scandinavia e Inghilterra.

Nel corso di una crociera addestrativa con destinazione il Portogallo, il 14 novembre 1861 la nave affrontò al largo delle coste olandesi un uragano e affondò con l'intero equipaggio. Le cifre sul numero di vittime variano. Secondo alcune fonti le persono morte furono 114, secondo altre fonti le vittime furono 143, il comandante, Kapitänleutnant Hermann, cinque ufficiali, 18 allievi e 120 uomini dell'equipaggio.

Dopo l'affondamento della nave, si vociferava che fossero stati volutamente speronati da un'altra nave. Nel 1862, la rivista "Die Gartenlaube" pubblicò una rappresentazione illustrata di questa versione dell'affondamento che ha portato al divieto della distribuzione di questa rivista in Prussia.

Nel 1863 all'Invalidenpark di Berlino venne eretto un obelisco in memoria dei caduti della nave, menzionato nel romanzo "Stine" di Theodor Fontane  Il monumento venne demolito nel 1951 in seguito ad una risoluzione del SED, il partito politico egemone al potere nella Repubblica Democratica Tedesca.

La SMS Amazone è stata l'unica nave da guerra prussiana disponibile fino al 1848.

this gear grid looks totaly awesome. Got a print run of this going right now. But an useful piece of information would be the size of the gear slots. The actual width (preferrably in mm) so that people know if it fits with their sleeves or if they would have to increase the size a bit.Hopefully it will be compatible with sleeves but I will see soon.
Oh and very nice to split this thing (my ultimaker3 would otherwise not be able to print this), nice details and love the extra functions build in.
It should fit sleeved gear cards as per the author of the original file. All I changed was the slots for the dice so they fit the tokens. I'll let you know if I have any problems with my sleeves when I get a chance.
Edit: My sleeved gear cards fit just fine.
Ah I see, didn't find the original with my search. I will be usind dice, but probably still use your version. I do like the double slots for armour points and so. The only problem is dice are a bit too big to put two side by side. Maybe I will just search for some d10 adjust them in size and print them. And yours is already in 4 parts, which is a must for my Ultimaker3, even the "normal" gear grids just fit barely and with all those extras I need to split it. Btw I printed the first part, looks good. Used PLA 0.2 Layer height took a litte less than 10 hours so just removed the print before going to work. Will post a picture later and start the second part this evening.
Bien vue, et le découpage est 4 est nickel pour les imprimantes plus petite, mais le modèle est trop épais, il faut 4 heures pour chaque partie. C'est trop long. Il faudrait diviser par deux la hauteur des pièces.
I had to use google translate to understand but I think you're saying that the pieces are too thick and take too long to print. You can reduce the thickness easily in Tinkercad or the software of your choice. Personally, I think the thickness is fine and makes for a sturdy piece. You could always increase layer height and speed for a faster print but you'll sacrifice quality.

United We Stream Returns To The Met for Christmas
The acclaimed United We Stream Greater Manchester is coming back to The Met by request of the Mayor of Greater Manchester, as a massive morale booster for Mancunians this Christmas.
In support of Andy Burnham's new initiative oneGM, the city's Night Time Economy Adviser Sacha Lord is planning a host of festive, feel-good shows to give the region's residents a break from the boredom and isolation of restrictions, starting on 'Mad Friday' December 18.
United We Stream GM was initially created in response to the first UK shutdown and began on April 3rd. The project
wrapped 12 weeks later having amassed donations of £477,000 for 12 different good causes and local charities, with 35 fundraising events broadcast live on the platform.
During the year that Bury was announced as Greater Manchester's first Town Of Culture, The Met was delighted to be a partner in delivering this project to screens across the region and beyond. Now the city that thinks a table is for dancing on, will continue to party through the Christmas holidays with three more exclusive productions for party people to enjoy at home on December 19, Boxing Day and New Year's Eve.
The award-winning streaming platform will restart following the government's announcement of a second national lockdown, and growing concern about the rapid decline in mental health throughout the region.
Calls to police and specialist services about mental health issues caused by loneliness, depression, isolation and
personal circumstances have almost doubled in Manchester since the start of the pandemic and are continuing to rise. The Greater Manchester Mental Health Foundation's helpline received 2,168 calls in July compared with 1,187 in April.
All donations will go directly to the Mayor's oneGM initiative via the Just Giving page. The campaign was launched by Andy on October 27, backed by a group of the city-region's business leaders and celebrities. oneGM is raising funds to get local support to the people hardest hit by the economic impact of COVID-19 in Greater Manchester.
From food poverty, to supporting those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, to providing mental health support; oneGM will deliver funding to organisations working hard to minimise the impact of this global crisis right within all local neighbourhoods.
Sacha Lord explains: "Greater Manchester is the most resilient city region in the UK. When we are up against it, we
come together to look after those most in need.
"Last week, our Mayor, Andy Burnham launched oneGM, a campaign to look after many people who need it right now. The next morning, he called me to see if I could persuade the original United We Stream team to get back together and support the campaign.
"Without hesitation, the whole team said yes. We've programmed 4 huge festive parties, including what will undoubtedly be the biggest NYE party in the UK. So many of us want put 2020 truly behind us, and we totally understand that for many, their mental wellbeing is at tipping point and that the holidays could be a very lonely
and bleak time.
"We hope that these shows will allow you a bit of escapism for a few hours. As always, United We Stream will be
completely free to watch, and I know for many that money is very tight, but if you can spare a pound or two, that
would be great, and your donation will go straight to oneGM."
United We Stream GM is free to view, but donations to oneGM will be encouraged.
People around the world will be able to can watch the streams via the website's event page, www.unitedwestream.co.uk, and their Facebook, Twitter and You Tube accounts.
During the first series, United We Stream GM reached 14.5 million people who saw their positive and informative
social media announcements, and Public Health England-led 'stay at home' messaging.
The Met was the production base for this unique, ambitious project. The venue worked hard to ensure the safety of performers and a dedicated production team who also beamed in performances from artist's homes, gardens, or specially selected venues, with all performances adhering to government advice around isolating, distancing and infection control.
The festive shows be will be produced by Parklife Festival founder Sacha with a team from Greater Manchester
Combined Authority (GMCA) culture department, Badger & Combes production company and L.G. Publicity.
The production team won two Prolific North awards in the summer for United We Stream: 2020 Digital Campaign of the Year and 2020 Broadcasting Programme of the Year. A highlights reel from the first series can be viewed on You Tube.

HD 74272 (nota anche come n Velorum) è una stella gigante brillante bianca di magnitudine 4,77 situata nella costellazione delle Vele. Dista 2488 anni luce dal sistema solare.

Osservazione
Si tratta di una stella situata nell'emisfero celeste australe. La sua posizione è fortemente australe e ciò comporta che la stella sia osservabile prevalentemente dall'emisfero sud, dove si presenta circumpolare anche da gran parte delle regioni temperate; dall'emisfero nord la sua visibilità è invece limitata alle regioni temperate inferiori e alla fascia tropicale. La sua magnitudine pari a 4,8, fa sì che possa essere scorta solo con un cielo sufficientemente libero dagli effetti dell'inquinamento luminoso.

Il periodo migliore per la sua osservazione nel cielo serale ricade nei mesi compresi fra dicembre e maggio; nell'emisfero sud è visibile anche all'inizio dell'inverno, grazie alla declinazione australe della stella, mentre nell'emisfero nord può essere osservata limitatamente durante i mesi della tarda estate boreale.

Caratteristiche fisiche
La stella è una gigante brillante bianca, e a seconda delle fonti prese come riferimento la massa varia da 5 a 9 masse solari: Hohle stima una massa media di 5 masse solari nel 2010, mentre la stima di Tetzlaff arriva a considerare la massa stellare in 8,8 volte quella del Sole, mentre il raggio è 15 volte quello della nostra stella.

Possiede una magnitudine assoluta di -4,67 e la sua velocità radiale positiva indica che la stella si sta allontanando dal sistema solare.

Seattle Krampus group honors yuletide tradition
May your holidays be merry and fright.
December 15, 2022 •
The eyes really are "all aglow" thanks to special slits hidden in the handmade masks.
Photo via CMC Photography
He knows if you've been bad or good… well, mostly bad. 🎶 Yes, Krampuuuus is coming to town. 🎶
We're crooning about the Christmas demon whose folklore roots date back centuries in the Alpine region of Europe, including Germany, Austria, and parts of Northern Italy. It's basically Santa Claus's less jolly sidekick, said to punish misbehaving kids with slaps of birch branches in some stories and chase away dark winter spirits in others.
The horned creature has a local presence thanks to Krampus Seattle, a cosplaying troupe looking to raise awareness about cultural customs and spread some good-natured holiday fear.
Devilishly delightful
Krampus Seattle co-founder John Hurst said he and his fellow members started out in the city's haunted house industry building sets and costumes. In 2015, they added a Krampus element to one of the "haunts" around Halloween time, but didn't really know much about the original winter legends.
Soon, they got really serious about it, which meant no latex masks nor references to the Hollywood horror flick. Instead, the group ordered expensive hand-carved wooden masks from Austria, and created outfits from materials like horsetails and yak fur — just as you might see in the streets of Lienz in the city's early December Krampus Parades. Hardcore.
Krampus Seattle donates a portion of appearance fees to children's charities.
Where can I party with them?
Krampus Seattle made an appearance in Leavenworth last year that got some mixed reviews from some folks who misunderstood their motivation. "People sometimes want to see it as a political or religious statement, but it's not," said John. "It's a Yule tradition."
FWIW, Leavenworth's own mayor seemed to want them back this season. But instead the group will stay more local, appearing at the retro rest stop/arcade Kringle's Filling Station in North Seattle on Tuesday, Dec. 20 from 6-9 p.m.
There will be photo ops, hot chocolate poured from a gas pump, karaoke, a Volkswagen sleigh, and lots of other family-friendly fun. Just maybe avoid being too naughty.

Znüni News – Monday August 26
Charlie Hartmann
Despite their best efforts, central Swiss wrestlers failed to bring the crown home as the Bernese Christian Stucki beat local favourite Joel Wicki in the first minute of their match; the last time a local wrestler won was in 1986. This was the culmination of the weekend's Schwing- und Älperfest in Zug which saw over 420 000 visitors making this an absolute success. The next event will take place in 2022 in Pratteln.
It felt like a Bond film when at 3 a.m. in the canton of Vaudt, two security vans transporting money were forced to stop by cars blocking a country road and then attacked by men threatening them Kalashnikov guns. The thieves made away with the money after setting all of the cars on fire. The drivers had to be taken to hospital. Last June another convoy had been attacked in pretty much the same way. So far the police have been unsuccessful in finding any leads.
Switzerland will be adopting EU rules with regards to private ownership of drones as of June 2020. Meaning that everyone who owns a drone will have to register it regardless of its size. Drones can only be flown so long as the owner can see it and are not allowed to go higher than 120 metres. You have to be 16 or older to own one.

Inmates review
The scariest thing about Inmates is its lack of a sprint button.
By GB Burford 2017-10-31T23:27:16.303Z Review
A horror game with few scares, Inmates is imprisoned by its lack of ambition.
What is it? A horror-themed walking sim.
Reviewed on: Windows 10, i7-6700k, 16GB RAM, GTX 1070
Price: $10/£7
Developer: Davit Andreasyan
Multiplayer: None
Link: Official site
Inmates begins with some cool dream imagery that has nothing to do with the story at all, and will never be referenced again. When it's over the protagonist, Jonathan, wakes up in a prison with no memory of how he got there. He quickly discovers the horrifying truth: he's trapped in a videogame with a lot of long corridors and no sprint button.
It's hard not to be glib about a game that makes so few attempts to be interesting. Sure, as I explored Jonathan's prison I found the Zodiac killer's alphabet, references to the Heaven's Gate cult suicide and demonology, but nothing came of any of it. Inmates is another horror game full of Biblical verses proclaiming doom and gloom, though it does subvert that cliche by being devoid of any religious insight. Jonathan's predicament has no relation to any religion, nor do the motives of his enemies.
Inmates has one meaningful reference: nearly every character's head blurs back and forth in a clear nod to the film Jacob's Ladder. It's the scariest thing in the entire game, which isn't saying much.
Around 15 minutes in, it becomes incredibly obvious that the prison is inside Jonathan's mind, and that the man masquerading as his doctor and the ghostly prison guard keeping him in are just other aspects of himself. It's a premise that has been explored countless times before in films displaying variety and intrigue that's lacking here.
The rest of the story is an exercise in tedium as Jonathan meanders through his mind-prison, solving easy puzzles while the voice pretending to be his doctor gives him his objectives that amount to "find keys" or "go somewhere."
I'm no great puzzle master, but I never found myself troubled by Inmates' puzzles. Once, I was floating in a room. In the middle was a door, and beyond the door were four levers. All I had to do was memorize the symbols on the door, then move the levers until I had found the matching symbols, and the door opened. That was the hardest puzzle in the entire game, but only because I didn't immediately spot the levers.
The level design makes no attempt to reward exploration, because the bulk of Inmates takes place in a single square cell-block, gated by actual prison gates which require keys or scripted encounters to pass. Walk forward, open a cell door, read the note inside, step out, walk forward, and open the next cell door. Repeat until you've traversed the length of the cell block. Occasionally, you'll see spooky cliches painted on the wall, like "Home Sweet Home," or get trapped in a cell, which you can leave when you solve one of Inmates' simplistic puzzles.
Inmates is eager to give its players matches, but they're not worth using. In a game like Amnesia, which Inmates seems desperate to imitate, light sources serve as a way to retain your sanity, making them meaningful. Inmates is not so clever—its matches are so bright that they make it harder to see the rest of the screen.
Mechanically, Inmates has very little going on for it. The lack of a sprint button seems to be a remedy for a bigger problem: an absence of any meaningful interaction. Aside from solving a few puzzles, Jonathan spends all of his time walking and backtracking. The fearsome Roy, one of Jonathan's other personalities, shows up at intervals to appear menacing. Roy scares Jonathan, but for players, his presence signals little more than story progression. With no mechanical or narrative depth, Inmates has little to offer. I completed the game, unlocking every achievement, in a single 90-minute playthrough.
Performance is acceptable for an Unreal 4-powered game, aside from the occasional minor stutter, and I experienced no major crashes or noticeable bugs in the 90 minutes it took me to complete the game. Unfortunately, the options menu leaves a lot to be desired. When it comes to graphics, Inmates features the typical low, medium, and high graphical presets, as well as options for Vsync, brightness, and motion blur, but nothing beyond that. If there's a way to change the resolution, I haven't found it. There is no way to rebind keys, though you can change look sensitivity and invert the mouse.
Inmates' biggest shortcoming is that it's aggressively uninteresting. Rather than attempt a fresh take on worn-out tropes about dissociative identity disorder, Inmates repeats what came before. References are made because they're assumed to be scary, but they rarely matter. Inmates has few scares or surprises to offer.


In many parts of the world it is difficult to buy a practical upright "Dutch" bicycle and utility cyclists are instead offered a choice of sport oriented mountain bikes and road bikes.
There are many advantages to a specially designed utility bicycle, and not all of these features can easily be retrofitted to a sport bicycle. However, many things can be reasonably easily changed.
Changing to North Road handlebars, and a taller, shorter stem make a huge difference to your position on the bike. You sit a bit more upright and can more easily see where you are going. You also need a wider, more comfortable saddle for the upright position. Cycling is no longer a race, but a comfortable means of transport.
Adding mudguards (fenders), chainguard and a coatguard keep you cleaner as you cycle.
A frame lock and a double stand make it possible to lock your bike and leave it standing upright when you walk away from it, while a front rack allows you to carry large amounts of cargo where you can see it and a steering damper makes a heavily loaded bike less likely to fall ove when parked.
Puncture resistant tyres make your bike much more reliable in everyday use, and dynamo lighting attached permanently to your bike is always ready to work without having to hope that your batteries are not flat.

Q: Managing debugging code Using IDE's debugging becomes very long in some projects, specially when working with graphics, so sometimes I use debugging code, which prints out values, depending on the environment, sometimes on the project itself and sometimes on the console. But when the project is done, it becomes difficult to find the debugging code, and remove it, and when an unwanted thing pops, it appears odd. I am still a student so its better to learn now then later, how to manage it?
I couldn't find the proper answer upon searching, but I have a few things in mind:

*

*Remove the code as soon as a module is tested, so there is less to find. It works but when the modules have to be tested later (at a higher level) it has top be added again, not to the extent of what was removed but still.

*Surround it with if to make sure it only runs when debugging flag is true, and keep it in the final version of the project.

*Plan the debugging code with the project, keep the methods and classes separate (where possible)  and erase the calls and objects and when things are done.
What is the proper way of managing it?

A: The easiest way is to use a debugging flag.
If this flag is a compiler constant (or otherwise hard-coded) you will need to re-compile the project if you want/do not want debugging.
A better way is to make the flag use a value from a config file/command line parameter -- this way you can control debugging without having to re-compile the project.
An even better approach is to use a powerful logging library (if one is available) and use its facilities -- the advantage is that you can better fine-tune what you want to log, where and in what format

A: Best approach is to debugging variable in your code
set isDebugEnabled=true // in case of development server
set isDebugEnabled=false // in case of production server

Or logging can be managed on production also for tracking issue but
not upto that extent as its needed on develpment server
var isDebugEnabled=ConfigurationManager.Appsettings["isDebugEnabled"].ToString();
if(Convert.ToBoolean(isDebugEnabled))
{
  Console.log("Log Message");
}

Don't forget to check window.console in case where Console.Log is not supported above statement will throw exception so:
var isDebugEnabled=ConfigurationManager.Appsettings["isDebugEnabled"].ToString();
if(Convert.ToBoolean(isDebugEnabled) && window.Console)
{
  Console.log("Log Message");
}
else
{
  //Follow file logging mechanism.
}

Vent Haven's Sweetheart
Jeremy and Johnny
Lisa Sweasy, Curator
Thanks to Jeremy Lepak for adopting Johnny. Made by George and Glenn McElroy of Harrison, Ohio, Johnny was used by ventriloquist and magician George Pullin. Mr. Pullin gave Johnny to Mr. Berger in exchange for an Insull figure and $25. Johnny joined the Vent Haven collection on August 23, 1951.
Johnny's features are many: winking, moving eyebrows, a light up nose, a stick out tongue, a moving upper lip, and moving eyes to name just some. He arrived in a McElroy case with the original directions from the McElroy brothers about how to change the light bulb and batteries in the head. This figure has been repaired twice; once by Frank Marshall and once by Cecil Gough.
George Pullin was quite and interesting character and his correspondence file with Mr. Berger is substantial. Pullin was born in 1885. His careers included elevator operator, railroad brakeman, milk salesman, hotel operator, private policeman, cook, and restaurant manager. He was influenced by the magic of Keller, and wrote about Keller's trick of growing oranges and roses on stage and then throwing them to the audience, "I thought that if I could learn to do that I'd make a million dollars."
