From Music / Dance Department Head Cathy Block
Solebury is a school that is accustomed to breaking new ground. Perhaps nowhere is that more apparent than our music program.
Solebury School's music program is current, it is innovative, and perhaps most of all, it is unique. Much of this is because it is inhabited by a faculty of working music professionals with real-world experience in the music industry and performance arena. They bring their contacts, expertise, and experiences into the classroom, as well as creating inventive classes that offer unusual opportunities for students. When you have teachers who have written songs for icons like Diana Ross, or worked with legends such as Leonard Bernstein and Mislav Rostropovich, much is possible.
Additionally, we have several performance ensembles. In the spring, the music department has a contest for student bands, duos, etc -- one or two groups go to Morningstar Recording Studio and record a demo, working with Grammy-winning engineer Glenn Barrett. Other students are invited to come along for the trip for the experience. This event happens during Arts Festival, a week devoted to the arts, where many workshops and events are available to all students.
Our courses are always evolving, as we often respond to the needs and desires expressed by the current student body. The fact is, you'd have to be in college to find many of the music courses that we offer at Solebury. And even colleges may not offer them, as they are wholly unique and created by Solebury teachers. Here is just a sampling of what we offer throughout the year (some of these classes may rotate from year to year):
Studio Music Production
This class teaches the basics of computer music production, from concept and pre-production through production and mixing. We will use software to create hip-hop and electronic beats utilizing both sample-based production techniques and original ideas. We will take our best ideas and turn them into songs, recording vocals and live instruments on top of them. As we traverse the broad genres of both hip-hop and electronic music, we'll discuss where they started, what they meant, and where they intersect. Although different on the surface culturally, they draw from the same pool of inspiration, sounds, and technology. In short: We will be producing beats, writing songs, and recording vocals.
Indie Music and How It Is Re-Shaping the Music World
In this class, we take a deep dive into where the music industry was, how it originated and operated, and where it has landed. This class is all about how the current recording and touring artist shapes and creates a career. One of the things we do in this class is Skype with many of the artists we cover. Some of the past artists we have Skyped with include The Districts (as well as a Skype session with their manager), JukeBox The Ghost, Good Old War, producer/ film composer Dan Romer (Ingrid Michaelson, and music for Beast Of The Southern Wild), and WXPN radio hosts. We've also had in-class visits and discussions with artists such as Ground Up's Alexander Charles Azar. We take questions right to the source with an insider's look into the industry.
Scoring for Big and Small Band
Students learn about voicing for horns, woodwinds, and writing for rhythm section. It is an advanced course that you would find at the music college level. At the end of the trimester, students have their arrangements played.
Jazz Theory and Composition
A follow-up to the scoring class, it delves deeper into the compositional aspects of music.
Scoring for Film and Video
Students will use and become familiar with Pro Tools software. They score a commercial, voice overs, and a video. Both of these are produced in the Digital Filmmaking Class.
This class is all about how the music from this seminal decade changed the world and shaped the future. It is an in-depth look at the music, artists, and people who were the intellectual movers of the time. The class has often enjoyed hearing from Solebury teacher Chris Langhart, who was the technical director of the original Woodstock Festival in 1969.
American Song Roots
This is a class that explores how various cultures have influenced American song. Students explore how their own cultures have played significant roles in the shaping of what we think of as "American" music. This is done by drawing from students' own life experiences and that of their ancestors through story telling, culture sharing and song. They engage history through a diversity of lenses and are reminded of their relevance to the American story.
The Black American Singer In You
Through a musical lens, this is a class about the ancestors who live in each of us and how they have impacted the particular way we exist in the world, and yes, how we use our voices. It's a class about Black history, as it is deeply rooted and even synonymous with American history at large. It's about the history of all people who migrated to the Americas and, of course, those who were already here. Who were your ancestors, pre-USA? Student activities include, but are not limited to: songs, culture sharing, shared storytelling, discussions, documentaries, games. etc.
A Capella Class
This class covers the basics of singing without instrumental accompaniment across different musical styles, i.e. Classical, African Folk, Doo-wop, Spirituals, Pop and more. Students learn the joy of building vocal harmonies while maintaining the rhythmic dance that characterizes a given style. It's a class designed for experienced singers, and preference is given to those who have completed at least one year of chorus. Others are admitted by audition.
Greatest Bands of All Time
This is a fun, in-depth look into the most influential bands, ever. We look at who were the first, and who might it be now, and why, from Buddy Holly and The Crickets, to Sly and The Family Stone to Nirvana, let the debates begin!
Students work in the recording facility at Solebury, learning about production with an emphasis on electronic music.
Solebury School is one of only a few high schools in the country to have this Indonesian instrument, which originated over 1000 years ago. Gamelan is a combination of percussion instruments, and is thought to be the first orchestral ensemble. No prior music experience or training is required for this class, giving everyone an opportunity to create music whether they come from a music background, or not. The student experiences the joy of making music as part of a larger ensemble, all the while learning about this ancient instrument, and the culture from where it originated, as well as it's spiritual meaning and intent. During the last part of the trimester, students work together and create an original Gamelan piece.
Many things make Solebury a unique educational experience, and the Solebury music program is certainly one of them.


Werewolves have been something of a theme in my life for a couple of years now. My husband had an idea for a werewolf-comedy screenplay in 2005. He has since written several drafts, shot some test material, and we've recently finished a shooting draft which we're considering attempting to shoot this fall. If that doesn't work, it will be next fall. We shot this as a test in 2007 to see if the idea would float.
But that's not as far as werewolves go in my life. One of my sisters has recently completed a book, also a werewolf comedy entitled, "Weregrannies", and it's brilliantly funny. We're working together on the finishing touches, editing and what-not, and hopefully I'll be getting a hard copy to her sometime in the next couple of weeks. So I'm spending hours daily with werewolves at the moment, which I am enjoying and which is driving them even further into my psyche.
How we arrived at this common theme is no mystery, my sisters and I grew up watching, "Silver Bullet", "The Howling", "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman", "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" (Which has the Wolfman in it.) and all of the classic black and white Werewolf and monster movies. My personal favorite was, and still is 1941's, "The Wolfman" starring Lon Chaney Jr. He is the definitive Wolfman in my eyes.
So when word got out that Joe Johnston, longtime Spielberg collaborator, was going to be doing a Wolfman film set to release in early 2010, needless to say I was incredibly excited.
You have to understand, monster movies aren't sacred ground the way some other films are. Remakes and sequels to monster movies are par for the course and always have been. The studio system pumped them out at a very quick pace back in the days of the old black and whites, if something was a hit, you can bet you'd be seeing that monster again very soon.
What's so appealing about werewolves? Everything. The very idea that human beings are really monsters just waiting to turn on their fellow humans is an idea riddled with significance and it's not too far from the truth. What's our number one insult to a fellow human? "You're just an animal!" The very thought of a werewolf brings not only deep terror, but also plenty of comic possibilities.
Though there's nothing funny about the upcoming Wolfman remake. It looks to be quite serious in tone. I'm excited about the movie, I'm more than pleased with the casting, but I'm also a little nervous. As a lover of classic monster movies, I was also excited about 2004's "Van Helsing". But that was a big dissapointment to me personally. I was so dissapointed in the movie that I actually lack the energy to even tell you why. I rented it once hoping I was wrong in the theater, but I didn't make it all the way through to the end without realizing that I did in fact hate it with the fire of a thousand suns.
"Why are you talking that way?"
"I thought you wanted me to."


Ringo Pie Round One was such a success that this year they started up again with a new group of sewists. We've followed both Ayumi and Penny's blogs for many years, and we're always in awe of their work. They're both exceptional sewists, talented artists and positive, enthusiastic members of the sewing community. This week we're devoting the week to paper piecing. We have some amazing projects lined up for you, and we're excited to be kicking it all off with an interview with Ayumi and Penny.
Sew,Mama,Sew!: First of all, congratulations on the popularity of the Ringo Pie bee. It seemed to have a big impact in the sewing community. I saw the blocks Pinned like crazy and it came up more than once in our Sewing Industry Reflections and Predictions series as something that really impressed people about 2011. What do you think it was about it that caught everyone's attention?
Ayumi: We had no idea that paper-piecing would be this popular in this community, and we are so pleased to see that everyone is discovering the joy of paper-piecing now. It's absolutely fun and addictive! Probably what caught everyone's attention was the uniqueness of paper-pieced blocks. This technique allows us to make blocks that are completely original and different from traditional blocks.
Sew,Mama,Sew!: Had you two collaborated before?
Penny: No, we hadn't. I had long been an admirer of Ayumi's work and once I started becoming interested in paper piecing, I contacted Ayumi about starting a patchwork bee and that's how Ringo Pie was born.
Ayumi: You have no idea how excited I was when Penny contacted me. I had been a huge fan of her works for years! Truth be told, I actually didn't know about how a patchwork bee works when she brought it up. It just sounded so fun, so I immediately said "Yay, Let's do that!" and then went to google "quilting bee." I found this post by Elizabeth of Oh, Fransson! and was even more excited that I just became a part of a bee!
Sew,Mama,Sew!: "Ringo Pie!" Such a great name!– Fun and attention-grabbing, and so perfect for the whimsical blocks. Where did the name come from?
Penny: When we started emailing back and forth about what to call our patchwork bee, we both mentioned we love food! And since the Japanese are the shining stars of patchwork, we wanted to include a Japanese word. Ringo in Japanese means "apple," so "pie" just kind of fit right in!
Sew,Mama,Sew!: Did you invite the members to join the bee, or did people request to join? What about for Round 2?
Penny: We selected and invited each member so we had a group of quilters who were friends and also did work we admired! For Round 2 a few people opted out, so we went through the same process of emailing each other and deciding who to replace those members with.
Sew,Mama,Sew!: How did you structure the bee? Were there guidelines for choosing a theme? What about guidelines for the blocks?
Penny: That's one thing I love about Ringo Pie: the freedom. The participants choose whatever theme they would like for their block month, and the other members can interpret it however they like. For their month, the members can ask for certain colors or ask to omit certain colors, can ask for a size range for their block… But other than that, it is up to the block maker to make all other decisions. This type of bee certainly isn't for everyone, but when you have surrounded yourself with other quilters you admire and trust, it is a very exciting and fun way to go!
Sew,Mama,Sew!: Let's talk about the technique. Most of the blocks I've seen seem to be constructed in a similar manner. It's…what? Just "paper piecing?" "Freezer paper piecing?" What do you call it and how do you define it?
Penny: Most of the blocks I designed or paper pieced, but some have been improv pieced by adding bits of fabric here and there to get the desired effect.
Ayumi: It seems that everyone has her way of constructing blocks. My blocks are mostly foundation paper pieced, but when I want to be sure about using a particular part of fabric, I use freezer paper to fussy cut pieces, which I paper-piece later. It's like a combination of freezer paper piecing (I have a tute here) and standard paper foundation piecing. Some of us like to do everything using freezer paper piecing technique only, and some of us always go with improv-piecing. Many of us, including myself, were quite new to paper piecing when the first round of Ringo Pie started. During the first year in this bee we all learned a lot from each other and from experience, and have come up with the way of constructing blocks that works best for us.
Sew,Mama,Sew!: How did you learn paper piecing?
Penny: For me, I just started researching it online, trying some easy patterns, and playing around with the process.
Sew,Mama,Sew!: Which was the hardest theme block for each of you? Which one are you most proud of?
Penny: I think the hardest month for me in Round 1 was for the theme of "beginnings and baby green things" that Lucinda asked for. I came up with a brilliant idea of piecing an iris that hadn't opened yet but once I finished, it looked more like an alien to me than an iris and I had already put so much into the block that I decided to leave it as it and chock it up to a bad month. I still have people favorite that block on Flickr though, and I'm amazed each and every time that happens!
The block I'm most proud of… Hmm, I have a hard time choosing! It would have to be either my KitchenAid or Camera Man!
Ayumi: I remember having a really hard time coming up with an idea for the theme of "Quilts on the Line" that Corey asked for. This is an amazing theme, but I just found myself completely stuck for a month or so because I just didn't know what I would make! I ended up with this. This was one of those projects that I didn't like at first but started liking because people seemed to like it.
The blocks I'm most proud of are Popsicles and Envelopes and Mailbox.
Sew,Mama,Sew!: What did you do with the blocks from your theme month?
Penny: I have all my blocks on my design board right now, hoping to piece them together soon! I will treasure that quilt for years to come!
Ayumi: I am planning to piece my blocks together sometime this year. It will be a very special quilt for me!
Sew,Mama,Sew!: Are you currently participating in any other bees or sew-alongs?
Penny: I am! I'm currently in a bee called the "Traveling Quilts" with some really awesome quilters. The way the bee works is we all start our own quilt, however we like, with whatever kind of blocks we like. We then in turn mail the start to the next person on the list who will add to it. Then they mail it to the next person on the list and so on. So each month, we will each be adding some to one of the other member's quilts. During the last month, not only will we add to the last quilt we receive, but we will quilt, back, and bind it and then return it to the original person who started the quilt, so in the end, we all end up with a finished quilt. None of us know how our quilts will end up and we are forbidden from posting more than sneak peeks as we sew on everyone's quilts. But that's the beauty of it all. In the end, we'll all have a surprise of a lovely quilt sewn by friends. I can hardly wait!
Ayumi: I was participating in Patchwork 318: The Bee which I enjoyed as much as Ringo Pie Bee. There is this Japanese book called Patchwork Patterns 318 by Kumiko Fujita. It has been out of print for years so it is not easy to spot unfortunately. (I have had many people asking me to hunt down the book in Japan. I have been on the hunt for six months with no luck. The only ones available are used copies on Amazon Japan whose prices are crazy due to its rarity value. I've even contacted the author of the book about this. While she was really pleased about its popularity overseas, she was sad to tell me that it is just completely out of stock and she doesn't know anyway she could help those looking for a copy of the book.) In this bee, just like the Ringo Pie Bee, everyone can pick a monthly theme, but we make a point of using patterns in this book. We all went with 6 1/2″ unfinished blocks. We were allowed to combine patterns in the book however we liked, which was a lot of fun.
Sew,Mama,Sew!: What's your most recent sewing passion?
Penny: Honestly, just to finish up some of the quilt tops I have hanging in my closet that need to be quilted and bound, and then some curtains and things for our new home!
Ayumi: Hmm… I have been wanting to try many online tutorials and patterns I bought to make gifts for friends.
Sew,Mama,Sew!: Anything exciting to tell us about in your futures?
Penny: Absolutely! I have been working in conjunction with Kerry of verykerryberry on a project we're calling "sew-ichigo." We're not quite ready to release a lot of details but just know, if you're drawn to patchwork, you're going to love it!
Ayumi: I have something in the works which I can't wait to share!
Penny can be found at sewtakeahike where she has a truly fantastic tutorials page (including this fun Pop Bottle Pattern and Curtain tutorial!). Find her patterns in the sewtakeahike shop and you'll want to take a look at her awesome Isosceles Pezzy Picnic Quilt tutorial at the Moda Bake Shop. Penny is in the Spring 2012 Stitch magazine, and she's also part of a pillow book coming out next fall with C&T Publishing. You can also hear Penny in recent podcasts with Pat Sloan and seamedUP.
Ayumi from Pink Penguin also has an outstanding set of free tutorials on her blog (right sidebar).

There is a tiny magical island located in the middle of an emerald lake in the heart of Julian Alps that has become one of the top European tourist destinations – Lake Bled. As a Slovenian I have to say, this is by far my favorite place back home.
As the trail around the lake is 6 km long, there are many spots where you can just relax and enjoy the view, but there are 3 of my favorite Winter spots that would interest every person who wants to create picture perfect moments. If you are my kind of person, than this article is the right one for you as I will let you know all the locations and how to get there.
There are 3 picture perfect spots in Winter that will leave you speechless!
By far one of my favorite spots and the most iconic place at Bled. Ojstrica is a sharp-peaked hill rising 611 m above Lake Bled that offers the most breathtaking panoramic view over the island and surroundings.
How to get there: Park your car at car parking near camp called Zaka and continue your hike towards the hill nearby, you will see the sign Ojstrica. It is not marked well, so make sure to check for directions before your hike or use navigation on your phone. Right before finish line, the path becomes rocky and a bit slippery, but once you get to the view-point with a charming bench overlooking Lake Bled and the mountains, you will immediately forget about all the troubles.
How long does it takes to get to the view-point: 25-30 minutes.
Second most popular picture perfect point is located at the pier next to the Park Hotel.
How to get there: Find a parking around Lake Bled ( I would advise you to park next to the Ice Hockey Arena) and then walk to the pier.
Take a trip to the magical island of Bled with a traditional boat called Pletna.
Hot to get there: Park in front of restaurant Mlino (when is off-season parking lot is not crowded) and you will see colorful pletnas across the street.
I hope my choice of top picture perfect places at Lake Bled will convince you to visit Slovenian top tourist attraction.

Caleb Martin Joseph (né le 18 juin 1986 à Nashville, Tennessee, États-Unis) est un receveur des Orioles de Baltimore de la Ligue majeure de baseball.

Il est le frère aîné du joueur de baseball Corban Joseph.

Carrière
Joueur des Bisons, l'équipe de baseball de l'université Lipscomb à Nashville, Caleb Joseph est repêché par les Orioles de Baltimore au  de sélection en 2008. Il évolue plus de 6 saisons en ligues mineures avant de faire ses débuts dans le baseball majeur à l'âge de 27 ans, le 7 mai 2014. Les Orioles font appel à lui pour amorcer au poste de receveur un match face aux Rays de Tampa Bay en remplacement de Matt Wieters, blessé.

Tirant profit de la blessure de Wieters, Joseph est le receveur le plus utilisé par les Orioles en 2014, en plus de jouer en séries éliminatoires. En 82 matchs de saison régulière, Joseph frappe pour ,207 avec 9 circuits et 28 points produits. Il excelle surtout en défensive : il mène la Ligue américaine en retirant 40 % des coureurs adverses en tentative de vol, et seul Yadier Molina des Cardinals de la Ligue nationale fait mieux que lui à ce chapitre dans les majeures. Joseph récolte son premier coup sûr dans le baseball majeur le 13 mai 2014 aux dépens du lanceur Drew Smyly des Tigers de Détroit et frappe son premier coup de circuit le 22 juin suivant contre David Huff des Yankees de New York.

Son coéquipier Matt Wieters étant blessé la majeure partie de l'année, Joseph est le principal receveur des Orioles en 2015 et il dispute 100 matchs.

Q: Why do I have to specify DNS when using chroot? Last time when I chrooted from Live USB to my old broken system, I couldn't connect to Internet. In this tutorial, I read I should add OpenDNS to my /etc/resolv.conf if I use DHCP.
How does DHCP (or chroot) influence my DNS?
Isn't DHCP only a way for my router to give me an IP?
Why can I connect from Live USB to Internet normally, while in chroot I have to add new DNS?

A:
Isn't DHCP only the way my router gives me IP?

No, it's also the way your router gives you extra information – gateway IP, DNS server IP, default domain name, time server IP, et cetera.

Why I can connect from Live USB to Internet normally, while in chroot I have to add new DNS?

Linux stores the DNS server address in a file. Since chroot alters how programs see file paths, it means they'll find a different file at the /etc/resolv.conf path, which means they'll possibly find a different address stored there.
(Your DHCP client doesn't know anything about your chroots, and only updates the main /etc/resolv.conf file – it cannot search and update all possible files.)

A common workaround is to link (bind) the "inside" path so that it refers to the same "outside" file. For example, you can do this before chrooting to /mnt:
mount --bind /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf

(Of course, later you'll have to unmount this before the system will let you unmount /mnt.)

Q: Proving $\gcd(f_i)=1\Rightarrow \mathbb{A}_\mathbb{C}^n\setminus \{f_i\}$ is not affine I need to prove the following lemma:

Lemma: Let $f_i\in \mathbb{C}[x_1,\dots,x_m]$ s.t. $\gcd(f_1,f_2,\dots,f_n)=1\quad(1<n\le m)$. Prove that the variety $V=\mathbb{A}_\mathbb{C}^m\setminus\{f_1=0,f_2=0,\dots,f_n=0\}$ cannot be affine.

I don't know from where to start. Can someone supply a complete proof (or counterexample) for this lemma please?

A: Sorry for being so confusing in the comments. Guess that's what happens when you try to answer a question so late at night.
I'll first answer using Hartog's lemma.
Hartog's Lemma: Let $X$ be a normal algebraic variety. Let $U$ be an open subset of $X$ such that $Z$, the complement of $U$, has codimension $\ge 2$ in $X$. Then, any function that is regular on $U$, extends to a regular function on $X$.
Corollary: If $X$ is a normal affine algebraic variety, and $U$ is an open subset whose complement has codimension $\ge 2$, then $U$ is not affine.
Proof of Corollary: By Hartog's lemma, $\mathbb{C}[U] \cong \mathbb{C}[X]$. The inclusion of $U$ into $X$ corresponds to the restriction map $\mathbb{C}[X] \rightarrow \mathbb{C}[U]$. This map is always an injection as opens are dense. But in this case, this map is also a surjection. Hence, the map at the level of rings is an isomorpism. If $U$ were affine, then the inclusion of $U$ into $X$ would have to be an isomorphism. This is clearly false. Hence, $U$ is not affine.
Here's a way to sidestep this issue of Hartog's lemma using gcd's in this case (I still wanted to state it for your benefit since it's an important fact that you should know). This method will basically work as long as $X$ is the spectrum of a UFD. The really crucial thing in the corollary is that any regular function on $U$ extends to a regular function on $X$. So, let $p$ be a regular function on $U$. Let $U_{i}$ be $\mathbb{C}[X] \backslash \{f_{i} = 0\}$, so that
$$U = \bigcup_{i} U_{i}.$$
Restrict $p$ to $U_{1}$ to get a regular function on $U_{1}$, which must be of the form $p_{1}/f_{1}^{a}$, with $p_{1}, f_{1}$ relatively prime and $a \in \mathbb{Z}$. Do the same for $U_{2}$ to get an expression $p_{2}/f_{2}^{b}.$ Then,
$$\frac{p_{1}}{f_{1}^{a}} = \frac{p_{2}}{f_{2}^{b}}$$
(as long as $U_{1} \cap U_{2}$ is nonempty) and hence
$$p_{1}f_{2}^{b} = p_{2}f_{1}^{a}.$$
This implies that $a$ must be nonpositive, because neither $p_{1}$ not $f_{2}$ share any prime factors in common with $f_{1}$ (the gcd condition). Hence, we can write
$$p = p_{1}f_{1}^{-a}$$
and as $-a$ is nonnegative, this is clearly a function that is regular on all of $X$. Hence, we have shown that any function on $U$ extends to one on $X$ and the corollary still holds.

CU cites risks in "l-type" strain of mad cow disease
CONSUMERS UNION CITES RISKS IN "L-TYPE" STRAIN OF MAD COW DISEASE, URGES USDA TO CONDUCT THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF CALIFORNIA CASE AND EXPAND TESTING
GROUP URGES FDA TO BAN ALL BRAINS, BLOOD AND POULTRY LITTER IN ANIMAL FEED
Yonkers, NY—Consumers Union, the advocacy arm of Consumer Reports, today called on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to take new measures to detect and prevent mad cow disease in U.S. beef and dairy cows, in light of USDA's announcement last week of a new case in a California dairy cow.
In letters to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack and FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, Consumers Union said that finding a case of mad cow in the USDA's current very small testing program is a "warning flag." USDA tests only 40,000 of the 35 million cattle slaughtered in the U.S. annually.
Noting that USDA has confirmed that this case exhibited the "L-type" atypical mad cow strain, Consumers Union cites studies that suggest L-type can be transmitted to humans, possibly even more easily than "classical" Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), the type of mad cow disease that resulted in more than a hundred deaths in the United Kingdom.
"It is essential that USDA conduct a thorough investigation of this case, including testing of all of the infected cow's offspring, and all cows that may ever have consumed the same feed, including current herd mates," stated Dr. Michael Hansen, a senior scientist with Consumers Union, and an expert on BSE. The number of cattle tested for mad cow disease has fallen almost 90 percent since 2005, according to USDA's own statistics.
The fact that this is an "L-type" atypical mad cow strain means that this case is not necessarily a spontaneous case, but rather could have been acquired through infected feed. "L-type" cases have been detected before in Europe and Canada.
"Consumers Union urges the USDA to increase its currently very small surveillance program of 40,000 tests annually by a factor of at least ten, for several years," said Hansen. "It is surprising that the existing small testing program even detected this case, if in fact the incidence of mad cow in the U.S. is very low. We need to expand the program to at least the levels USDA used in 2004 and 2005 to insure that this deadly disease is not occurring anywhere else."
"USDA should also augment its testing by allowing private companies to test, at their own expense," Hansen added. "This would allow companies to expand beef exports to markets that require more testing, like Japan, while increasing the information available on U.S. cattle." Currently, USDA does not allow private companies to test their own cattle for BSE.
Consumers Union also called on FDA to ban certain materials in cattle feed that could potentially transmit mad cow disease, urging in a letter to FDA Chief Hamburg that FDA should prohibit the use of chicken coop floor wastes in feed for beef and dairy cows, a practice in large-scale livestock operations.
"Beef slaughterhouse waste is fed to chickens, and a lot of the chicken waste then ends up being fed back to cattle," said Hansen. "This should not be allowed, as we are turning cows into cannibals, the practice that started the mad cow problem in the first place."
Consumers Union also urged FDA to prohibit all cattle brain and other high-risk material in animal feed, including pet food, since these are the tissues most likely to harbor the infectious mad cow agent. FDA currently prohibits brains from older cows in animal and pet food, but not brains from younger ones.
Finally, Consumers Union urged FDA to prohibit the use of cow blood in milk replacer for weaning calves, noting that blood transfusions are a known means of transmitting BSE infections.

The principal configurations of Shinto in the modern world are Koshitsu (State Shinto), Jinja (Shrine Shinto), Kyoha (Sect Shinto), and Minkan (Popular Shinto). Following the Imperial Restoration of 1868, Buddhism was denounced, Shinto was made the official state religion, and the emperor was worshiped as a god. After Japan surrendered in 1945, Shinto lost its role as state religion, and the emperor was forced to forgo (for a time, at least) any claim to personal divinity. However, Shrine Shinto continued to be practiced on a private level under the so-called "Shinto Directive" imposed by the victorious Allies, which returned freedom of religion to the Japanese people. Buddhism and Christianity could again be practiced openly, alongside Shinto, and that situation prevails today. Although Shrine Shinto did not exist as a religious organization until after 1868, it is associated with the ancient forms of nature worship that took shape around shrines devoted to particular kami, local or national. Following the war, shrines were removed from government control, and became dependent on support by the people.
Festivals called matsuri form a large part of Popular Shinto practice today. Many of them have to do with food, although they also serve as vehicles for requests for anything from a successful crop to the birth of sons, for thanks, to pacify destructive kami, or for divination. The Kagura, for instance, is a popular peace offering of food, music-making, and dancing that can be held at any time the worshipers request it of the temple attendants. The imperial household conducts 64 separate rituals in the course of a year, although the emperor participates in only a portion of them. The most important is the Nii Name Sai or Festival of New Food, during which the first-fruits of the harvest are offered in thanksgiving. Celebrated by the emperor on November 23-4, it focuses on the all-important grain harvest, and reaches back to the point of transition in Japanese culture from hunting and fishing to agriculture.

Brother of Algeria's Bouteflika Jailed for 8 Years
"Arab World"
https://english.aawsat.com/home/article/3688831/brother-algeria%E2%80%99s-bouteflika-jailed-8-years

The jailed brother of Algeria's late president Abdelaziz Bouteflika received an eight-year prison sentence on Monday for corruption, local media reported.
Said Bouteflika's co-defendant, construction tycoon Ali Haddad who is also already in prison on other charges, was sentenced to four years, and both received fines.
They had been charged with influence peddling, abuse of office, money laundering and failing to declare assets.
In October, both men had been sentenced to two years in prison for obstruction of justice, but Bouteflika was exonerated in that case by an appeals court in May.
Sentences issued by Algerian courts are not added up, with only the longest sentence actually served.
Said Bouteflika, 64, was long seen as the real power behind his ailing brother, whose bid for a fifth term in office sparked mass protests in 2019 that eventually forced him to resign.
Abdelaziz Bouteflika's fall was followed by a string of prosecutions against senior members of his inner circle.
His brother was arrested in May 2019 and sentenced to 15 years for "plotting against the state and the army" in the days before the former president's resignation.
Early last year, he was acquitted of those charges by a military appeals court, but was handed to a civil court to face trial on corruption charges.
Abdelaziz Bouteflika died in September at the age of 84.

The trailer shown at Square Enix Party 2007 for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (that's the Wii version), is finally available for all to see. You have two options: watch the fuzzy YouTubed version above, or click through to the official home page to see a nicer version (but still low-res embedded Flash).
Square Enix didn't provide this to the media, probably because they were afraid we were going to... post it to the internet? Well, the toothpaste is out of the tube, now.

Q: Error propagation in an equation without an analytical solution Is it possible to formally propagate uncertainties through an equation which does not have an analytical solution? I am an Earth Scientist working on doing a rigorous determination of the age calculated using (U-Th)/He dating, which uses the equation
$$
He = 8*^{238}U(e^{\lambda_{238}t}-1)\times7*^{235}U(e^{\lambda_{235}t}-1)\times6*^{232}Th(e^{\lambda_{232}t}-1)\times^{147}Sm(e^{\lambda_{147}t}-1)
$$
We solve for t numerically because the equation cannot be solved for t explicitly. The other variables (e.g., He, 238U, lambda238) are measured or known, each with their own uncertainty. For the sake of argument, let's say that I know the uncertainty on each value perfectly and all are gaussian. Is there a way to determine the uncertainty in t using "classical error propagation" (e.g., adding in quadrature) without the ability to solve for it explicitly? I know I could build a monte carlo code to figure it out, but I'm wondering if it's even possible to determine the uncertainty analytically.

The Plymouth Meeting Controversy
Written by	Nancy Sullivan, Archivist
A headline from the Norristown Times-Herald.
Lately, one of our tireless volunteers, Dick Mardi, has been processing our church collections. Among the church bulletins, anniversary booklets, and newspaper clippings, he came across a small green booklet called "The Plymouth Meeting Controversy." I guessed it was some kind schism in the meeting house, but it was much more interesting. In 1954, McCarthyism came to Montgomery County.
First a little background. William Jeanes Memorial Library (now in Whitemarsh Township) was founded by Mrs. Mary Rich Jeanes Miller, who left $75,000 to Plymouth Monthly Meeting in her will for the founding of the library. She died in 1926. The library opened in a private home in 1933, and moved into its own building two years later. As time went on, the library committee (appointed by the Monthly Meeting) approached Plymouth and Whitemarsh Townships for support. Each township offered $500 annually, and Plymouth asked for and received two seats on the committee.
Now, in 1953, the librarian, Edith Sawyer, broke her hip and was unable to work for 3 months. So, the library board began to look for a replacement. They contacted the employment chairman was the Special Libraries Council of Philadelphia and Vicinity, and he suggested Mary Knowles who had just moved from Massachusetts to Wayne, Pa.
Mary Knowles in a photograph published by the Times-Herald on August 2, 1955.
In her first conversation with Lillian Tapley, chair of the library committee, Mary Knowles said that she had been fired by her previous employer, Morrill Memorial Library in Norwood, Massachusetts, because she had invoked the Fifth Amendment while being questioned by the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee. As she explained to Morrill Memorial Library:
"This past week I appeared under subpoena before the Senate Sub-committee on Internal Security headed by Senator [William] Jenner in Washington, in both secret and open hearings. In both instances I answered only questions as to my name, address, and employment in the Library. Al other questions I declined under the privilege granted by the Fifth Amendment, which says: "that no person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." Lest this would seem not to apply, I would like to explain further. In the first place I have committed no crime… in the second place, the investigating committees no longer uphold the validity of the First Amendment, and recourse to that Amendment…could very easily lead to contempt of court citation and ensuing jail sentence. In the third place, if, under compulsion I testified concerning my religion and politics, but refused to answer questions about others, I would also be held in contempt of court…Fourth, if I refused to answer questions on moral or ethical grounds without invoking the Fifth Amendment, I would also be held in contempt of court and again face a jail sentence. Fifth, and last, I feel very strongly that these committees and their methods are highly unconstitutional; that they represent a deep threat not only to the strength of the United States, but also to the very form of government itself; that through such investigations lies indeed the path of the United States into totalitarianism and the police state."
Why was Knowles questioned by the senate committee in the first place? She had worked at the Samuel Adams School in Boston, a school that was one of several operated by the American Communist Party.
The committee didn't think Knowles' past disqualified her for the position. They contacted her references and they all gave excellent reports. The committee hired her for a temporary, six month position. The two representatives from Plymouth Township were not at the meeting when the committee voted to hire her, but the booklet points out that they never voiced any opposition during that initial six month period.
Plymouth Meeting House in 1943.
At the time, loyalty oaths were a bit of a craze in America. Pennsylvania had a loyalty oath, and a Plymouth commissioner suggested Knowles take the oath, but she declined. She did sign a statement declaring her support of the United States, its founding documents, and stated that she had no connection to any left-wing groups since leaving the Samuel Adams School.
When Edith Sawyer's hip healed, she returned to work briefly, but resigned in September of 1954. The committee looked around for a new librarian, but didn't find one they liked as much as they had Mary Knowles. The booklet points out several times that attendance and circulation had increased when Mary Knowles took over. Since Knowles had not yet found another job, she was rehired.
This led to a standoff between the two representatives of Plymouth Township and the Monthly Meeting. The township demanded that Knowles had to sign the loyalty oath, and the Monthly Meeting decided that requiring the loyalty oath was counter to their Quaker beliefs.
Plymouth Township and its school board both withheld their annual contributions, and the local American Legion post and the Daughters of the American Revolution declared their opposition to Knowles' employment without the oath. Plus, a new group, called Alerted Americans Group popped up to voice opposition to Knowles. According to "The Plymouth Meeting Controversy" the "group" was largely the effort of one person, Helen Payson Corson of Plymouth Meeting, Pa. A letter from the group read:
"Should we accept such a person of doubtful loyalty in a position of public trust and esteem when to do so requires us to repudiate the long, agonizing ordeal of a man like Herbert Philbrick? Should be thank God for dedicated patriots like him and vigorously support him in every way? Doesn't he deserve our gratitude just as much as our men in uniform do? Let's honor the F.B.I., not the F.A.U. (Fifth Amendment Users)."
Herbert Philbrick was an advertising executive who infiltrated the Communist Party in the 1940's for the F. B. I.
Herbert Philbrick testifying about Communist recruitment in the United States.
The Monthly Meeting continued to support Knowles, stating "Should an accusation of association with the Communist Party eight years ago be disqualification for employment? We think it should not. Certainly, in a Christian and democratic nation, the individual has the right to be judged on the merits of his particular case."
The following year, 1955, the Fund for the Republic, an organization interested in matters the concerning the Bill of Rights, awarded Plymouth Monthly Meeting $5000 for "courageous and effective defense of democratic principles."
This more than offset what the library was losing from Plymouth Township, but it also brought even more attention to the case. Mary Knowles was again called before the Senate Internal Subcommittee. She again stated that she was not a Communist. At this hearing she did not invoke the Fifth Amendment "since any association that I had had with an organization on the Attorney General's list was so far in the past, that I would no longer be privileged to claim the Fifth Amendment." She still refused on answer questions about her association with both individuals and organizations. She was convicted of 58 counts of contempt of Congress and sentenced to a $500 fine and 120 days in jail. Her conviction was overturned in 1960.
In summer of 1956, a sub-committee of the House Committee on Un-American Activities opened hearings in Philadelphia. Lillian Tapley was subpoenaed along with the minutes of the Monthly Meeting. The Monthly Meeting refused to comply, citing the First Amendment, and the sub-committee backed off on the matter of the minutes. Tapley and several people opposed to the employment of Mary Knowles testified. Letters from members of the meeting, both supporting Knowles and in opposition to her, were also sent to the committee.
The booklet was written in 1957 and it summed up the controversy this way, "we have no black and white situation, rather gray, with sincere opinions expressed on both sides…Frequent silent periods have shown us that none of us is above censure or error, and have helped us to speak less hastily and less often."
Mary Knowles continued to work for the William Jeanes Memorial Library until her retirement in 1979. Today, the library's technology fund is named in her honor.

Former Central Bobcat Named Texas Tech Football Captain
Eli Howard - The Former SA Central Bobcat Named A TTU Football Captain. LIVE! Photo/ Manny Diaz
By Manny Diaz | May. 10, 2019 3:41 pm
SAN ANGELO, TX - The legacy of former San Angelo Central Bobcat Eli "Cinco" Howard continues to be written. Howard was recently selected by Texas Tech head football coach Matt Wells as one of 16 team captains.
Howard's journey as a college football player started at the University of North Texas before transferring to Texas Tech in the fall of 2016 when he sat out an entire season due to the transfer.
"As a former walk-on to a team captain really I think really says a lot about the work that has been put in and how much my teammates care for me," says Howard.
As a member of the Angry Orange and a team captain for Brent Davis' Central Bobcats, Howard was a quarterback until his junior season when he transitioned to playing on the defensive line. It was a move that the 6'4" 270-pound defensive end wouldn't regret going on to be named the District 3-6A Defensive MVP recording 61 tackles and 6 sacks.
"My senior year I shared it with another great group of guys and lifelong friends," says Howard when he was named a team captain in his final season as a Bobcat. "Their leadership abilities have really helped me excel at the stage I am right now."
As a Red Raider in 2018, Howard started in 11 of 12 games while his 37 tackles were good enough for second on the team among defensive linemen en route to earning an All-Big 12 honorable mention selection by the conference coaches.
Although Howard's role in Lubbock continues to grow Howard says the feeling of being a Red Raider is still surreal.
"Honestly it's such a blessing," says Howard. "It's a tribute to my high school coaches and how they've helped develop high school kids for college and the work that needs to be put in and those kinds of qualities that will get you to excel at the next level."
Howard and the Red Raiders will open the 2019 season on Saturday, August 31st at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock against Montana State.

Barts Health NHS Trust has a long history of an established neuromodulation service and was one of the first NHS Trusts in the UK to start spinal cord stimulation. The service based at St Bartholomew's Hospital and The Royal London Hospital has been providing spinal cord stimulation for suitable patients with intractable neuropathic pain. The service follows the clinical pathway recommended by the NICE guidelines 159.
The service consists of a multidisciplinary team, comprising pain physicians, neurosurgeons, neurologists, psychologist and clinical nurse specialists who are involved in triage, assessment and implantation of the stimulators. All patients undergo multidisciplinary assessment before being offered neuromodulation. The clinical service is supported by neurophysiology, for programming and follow up.
Besides being the pivotal service for East London and adjoining area, the service caters to wide geographic area from Hertfordshire, Essex and Kent to East of England. There are strong and established links with community clinics and majority of referrals are triaged from community pain clinics (attended by secondary care pain physicians) into multidisciplinary assessment pathways.

Retrogram #8311: Nothin' But Time Travel
June 7, 2019 June 21, 2021 Earl
The week of March 13th, 1983: A quiet week of a busy year…so why all the time travelers? The Doctor drops in on King John, the Voyagers(!) drop in on "Wild Frank" Roosevelt, and Prince Erik Greystone drops into a whole haunted castle of trouble in the wrong month. Who's the best time traveler? And who wound up in the best medieval castle? Do lutes really work well with analog synthesizers? And what's the unlikely Simpsons connection in one of these shows? (71:20)

Ok, I admit I love strange, but weird stories like this [article link]. A businessman in the UK lost his cell phone at the beach. Like most people, he thought he had lost it forever. He probably was wondering how much he was going to get hammered for a new phone. A few days later, his girlfriend got a phone call from.....the cell phone! It seems a fisherman had found the cell in the belly of a 25lb cod. This was a week later after the businessman lost the cell phone! A week!
The businessman had to change out the circuit board of the cell (probably would have been cheaper to just buy a phone) and started using it again. It had the fish smell, which I'm not sure how you can get past that when you try to make a call. I think this proves, as the writer of this article illustrates, cell phones made today are a lot tougher than we give them credit. I dropped my fragile looking cell on the pavement at least three times in the two years I have owned it. Beside a few chips and nicks, it works just fine. I even had my beagle, Ralph, grab the cell phone in his sharp teeth, slobbbered all over it and it still works.
I know this story appears kind of "fishy." But, apparently it is true. As for the cod, I imagine he wound up as dinner somewhere. But, he, at least, had his 15 minutes of fame.

Today, Samsung has unveiled a new consumer solid state drive (SSD) lineup – the Samsung 860 QVO SSD. The new SSD features capacity of up to 4 terabytes (TB) with speeds reaching 550/520 MB/s reads and writes, respectively. The drives are built using their own high-density 4-bit multi-level cell (QLC) NAND flash. Samsung has developed these drives to have higher capacity SSDs be more accessible to the masses (read: less expensive).
The drives are priced at $149.99, $299.99, and $599.99 for the 1, 2, and 4TB models with pricing rivaling that of less expensive drives TLC drives without DRAM cache, while the 860 QVO includes a full-size LPDDR4 DRAM cache. Controlling the NAND is Samsung's MJX controller which designed performance around the analysis of consumer SSD usage patterns. According to Samsung, this yields a reliable drive and sports a three-year limited warranty. Write length is up to 1440 terabytes written (TBW) for the 4 TB version and 720/360 TBW for the 2/1TB drives.
The 860 QVO and its new QLC flash will be available on December 16th 2018.
Thanks for this information. This brings Samsung's quality and performance to the table at approximately the same price as off brand SSDs.
Always a good sign. Right now the WD Red in my desktop is by far the loudest component, and I realized how impatient I've become trying to run things off of it. Nice seeing I now at least have the option to get the equivalent amount of SSD storage for less than a used Corolla.
MSRP looks interesting. I wonder where the street prices will settle.
If anything like other Samsung drives, a bit above at start, then will drop below.
