Cafe Prague — 77.2 decibels CLOSED
June 29, 2016 December 9, 2017 Leave a comment
Our visit at Cafe Prague was more tolerable than the rating might suggest. The space was fine until someone sat next to us who obviously had untreated hearing loss. He had a very animated conversation with his guest until he turned his attention to his iPhone. Before his arrival and during his obsession with his phone, the space was really comfortable. That said, the basketball game playing on a big flat screen tv to didn't help, but at least the volume wasn't too loud, which was remarkable under the circumstances (big playoff game).
That aside, Cafe Prague is a nice inexpensive place near Union Square for a nosh. We enjoyed a chicken schnitzel and some very tasty potato salad that accompanied it (the meal also came with lettuce and sliced cucmber and tomatoes). We must caution that it's not a place for anyone watching their weight. As they proudly announce on their website, Cafe Prague is a place "where calories do not count and time slows down." And both statements are true, as you will not feel rushed as you dine on your plate of decidedly not diet food.
Cafe Prague gets very good ratings at Yelp and Google, and they are deserved. The place feels like it's been around for a while. It's best described as a mix of an old country restaurant meets New York City deli. The food looks and tastes fresh and seating is comfortable. We definitely recommend a visit if you are in the Union Square area.
Monday: 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

El Quinto Pino — 73.8 decibels
El Quinto Pino is a find. Located on a quiet street in Chelsea we could tell that we were going to enjoy our visit from the moment we saw it. We don't know how long it has been around, but it had the bearing of an old neighborhood favorite.
When we arrived for a Sunday brunch there was no music playing in the small dining space and the room was about half full. At some point someone turned on the music. Fortunately, the volume was set on low and the music was absolutely appropriate–loungy bossa nova, the perfect accompaniment for the look and feel of the place.
A large table was expected and we have no doubt it could have been uncomfortable had we stayed, but they didn't arrive while we were there. Lightly finished wood floors and high ceilings helped to blunt any noise, but the dining space felt somewhat live. A large tapestry on the back wall appeared to absorb some of the sound. Whether it was intended only as a decor accent, we don't know, but textiles are one of the easier ways to mitigate sound.
There is a bar at the entrance that is separated from the dining room. As no one was there during our visit, we couldn't review that space. But it looked inviting and we could see ourselves stopping by the bar for a happy hour, lingering over a drink and some tapas.
Service at El Quinto Pino couldn't have been better and the food was delicious. If you are in Chelsea and want a place to chill, El Quinto Pino should be on your short list.

Ost Cafe — 67.5 decibels
Ost Cafe is a very nice little coffee shop offering coffee, tea, and sweet treats. It's located on the very edge of the Lower East Side where it meets Two Bridges. This part of the Lower East Side hasn't been over-developed yet; many of the nearby stores still have signs written in Hebrew.
Music played quietly in the background during our visit–mostly jazz instrumentals, no voices–and there were only four other patrons working silently on their laptops. So we were not surprised that the decibel reading was under 70. Other than the four laptoppers, a couple of people stopped by for a coffee to go, waiting quietly until their drinks were served.
Overall, we had a very pleasant visit to Ost Cafe. It was very nearly perfect except for one thing– the front door was open to the street. We assume the door was open because it was a mild late spring afternoon and the space was cooled by the gentle breeze. Presumably the door is shut during the dog days of summer and in the winter, so street noise should not be a problem most of the year. But street noise was an issue during our visit because several too-big-for-the-city semi-trailers were stopped outside the entrance, idling loudly as they waited for the green light. The only other source of noise was the occasional buzz of the bean grinder.
Ost Cafe was very manageable even with the doors open. It should be absolutely delightful in the height of the summer and winter. We recommend that you visit.

Nom Wah Tea Parlor– 78 decibels
Nom Wah Tea Parlor is an old-school Chinese restaurant in Manhattan's Chinatown. The restaurant was thoughtfully renovated a few years back–the space was cleaned up but the decor was left unchanged. Some version of the place has been around since 1920. It's a very comfortable space that is atmospheric without feeling staged.
We visited at lunch time. Nom Wah was pretty busy, which accounts for the 78 decibel reading. Truth be told, the space was more comfortable than the reading might suggest. Nom Wah was at least two-thirds full when we first arrived and the sound level was tolerable. As people left and the space became half full, it was mostly comfortable with the only annoying factor being low but unnecessary music and the sharp sounds of dishes being placed into busing bins (we were seated nearby).
Nom Wah is definitely worth the visit. Dim sum is offered all day; the place is very popular for a reason. When full, the sound level could be intolerable, but Nom Wah was almost full when we were first seated and we didn't run away. And, frankly, restaurants in Chinatown tend to be very busy and often are loud. You would be hardpressed to find a better option than Nom Wah.
Sunday through Saturday: 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.

Jefferson Market Garden — 74.1 decibels
Jefferson Market Garden is similar to another of our favorite outdoor spaces, Jackson Square, in that it is an absolutely beautiful, well-tended, and well-loved park, but it suffers from its location. Located on the site of a former women's prison, the garden is bordered by 6th Avenue and Greenwich Avenue and is plagued with constant traffic, unrelenting horn honking, and never-ending construction noise of some sort or another.
Our visit was short. It started off louder than it ended due to a utility truck that was idling very loudly nearby. There's a fire house about a block away, so loud sirens are common (one returning fire truck made its way back home during our visit), as are those purposefully loud motorcycles. There wasn't one silent moment, not a minute of calm during our visit.
That said, Jefferson Market Garden is still worth visiting. The plantings are lovely, with bursts of color throughout, and fragrance has not been ignored. We could smell the roses whenever a breeze swept through. So come and enjoy the lush plantings and riot of color. Just don't expect a peaceful visit, because you won't get it.
The garden is open when a member is present, which generally is not a problem during the season (April through November). Some bench seating is provided but is often occupied as the garden is very popular.
Tuesday through Sunday: 10:00 a.m. to dusk (from April through October), weather permitting

Coffee Foundry — 68.5 to 71.5 decibels CLOSED
June 17, 2016 November 26, 2017 Leave a comment
Coffee Foundry is our current favorite coffee shop, so we've had a number of visits. Our first visit clocked in at a surprising 71.5 decibels. Why was that surprising? Because we did not expect to find a relatively quiet coffee shop on usually loud, and often raucous W. 4th Street in the heart of the West Village. Background music was playing but the volume was very low, and only a few people were chatting (and they were chatting quietly). The space is filled with hard surfaces, but there appears to be acoustic tiles on the ceiling. That makes sense as Coffee Foundry is an ongoing pop-up in a karaoke bar (the bar starts after the coffee shop closes).
It's obvious that the space is a favorite of the laptop brigade, which explains why it is so calm. And why wouldn't it be a favorite? Coffee Foundry offers them useful amenities, such as electric outlets along the bar, co-working spaces for rent, and an $11 unlimited tea/coffee offer (but not special tea or coffees).

Our second visit was even better than the first–the reading clocked in at a very respectable 70.1 decibels. The crowd was very quiet, with most staring at their laptops. There was some unnecessary background music but, as during our first visit, the volume was very low. This time there was one chatty and animated guy who apparently didn't notice that everyone else was working (or otherwise quiet). There almost always is one.
Finally, our most recent visit came in at only 68.5 decibels. The music was a bit louder than we would liked this time, but the reading was under 70 decibels (and we were under the speaker).
The reason Coffee Foundry is so peaceful is that most people come here alone to do work, but it doesn't feel like a library or an office. It's a comfortable space with varied seating (stools and tables/chairs), sweet and savory offerings, and outstanding service. The two guys who are most frequently behind the bar are friendly and more than accommodating. So come and visit. Just don't be the chatty guy.
Saturday: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Cafe Katja — 70.8 to 78.2 decibels
We decided to check out Cafe Katja, an Austrian restaurant on the Lower East Side, for lunch. During our visit the decibel meter initially hovered under 70 decibels, closer to 67 decibels. No surprise, as only one other table that was occupied, and even though the windows were open, there wasn't much street noise. But then a party of approximately 20 teenaged girls walked in. We expected the worst, but the space remained comfortable (it must be noted that the group was very well behaved and, while chatty, not that loud). No doubt a different group may have resulted in a much different experience.
That said, even with the party of 20 the place was not quite half full and bar was empty, so the noise levels were very manageable. This made it difficult to guesstimate what the noise level would be like at brunch or dinner. There is a tin ceiling and large windows in the space, but wood floors and upholstered banquette seating compensate for the hard surfaces, and the space is broken up into distinct seating areas (bar, dining room, and side dining space) by the use of a column or other divider. We can unequivocally state that for a Thursday lunch, the space was comfortable.
To see how things panned out at dinner, we visited Cafe Katja again. Our reading of 78.2 decibels shows the space was plainly louder, but it wasn't as uncomfortable as the reading may suggest. The culprit was the background music, which was too loud for the first 30 minutes of our visit. You can imagine how happy we were when the music volume was lowered, because once the volume was adjusted the space was comfortable.
Our comfort level pre- and post-music lowering highlights an obvious problem seen (well, heard) at most restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Namely, background music generally encourages people to raise their voice to be heard over the music, which then encourages their neighbors to raise their voices to be heard over the music and the other speakers, and so on. It's a known phenomenon, see The Lombard Effect.
In any event, our dinner ended on a high (but not too loud) note. We must point out that our visit was on the early side on a Saturday evening–the space may have been louder later that night. That said, we would recommend a visit to Cafe Katja. The space is very nice, the service is good, and the food is delicious. Cafe Katja also has a nice selection of beers and very good coffee. Keep in mind, however, that the menu is meat centric– there aren't many options for vegetarians.
Monday: 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Tuesday through Thursday: 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. | 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Jean Claude II — 66 decibels

This French bistro was an absolutely blissful 66 decibels! Yes, it was a Monday lunch. Yes, the room was not crowded. But there was background music–appropriate and low–and chatty fellow diners. No doubt the space is louder at brunch and dinner–will visit then to confirm–but for lunch, very little comes close to this oasis of peacefulness. Bonus? The food is lovely.
Monday through Sunday: 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Burp Castle — 71.3 to 79.8 decibels
We were told that we must visit Burp Castle because the bartenders were known for shushing the crowd. Sadly, the rumor appeared to be untrue during our first visit as there was no shushing at all. We were disappointed, particularly since there was one–and only one–loud guy who threw off the reading. Once he and his companions left, the place was pleasant. It was, in fact, the perfect setting for a well-crafted beer and quiet conversation, with its subdued lighting and music played softly in the background. We must add that the music did not start playing until after the loud table left. If they had not been present, the place would have been idyllic.
Once Party of Loud left, and even with the music playing, the reading recovered. In fact, we stopped the first reading, which clocked in at 77.3 decibels, after an hour or so and turned the meter on again to see what the space was like after Boomy McScreamer departed. The answer? 71.3 blissful decibels.
So why is Burp Castle comfortable? It has high ceilings, a wool rug, and plenty of wood, all of which help to absorb or deflect sound. The walls are covered with murals that are appropriate and not hokey, making the space feel like it's been around for years. If we lived in this neighborhood, this would be our neighborhood bar.
Burp Castle offers a good selection of interesting beers that are listed on a chalk board behind the bar; the beer menu changes frequently. There are no food options, but we bet the bartender wouldn't object if you brought in some nibbly things to go with your beer.
We enjoyed our visit to Burp Castle so much that we followed it up with another a week or so later. It was louder during our second visit because the place was absolutely packed–standing room only. That said, the music was turned off as the placed filled up, so the noise volume was created entirely by voices. And, as rumored, there was shushing from the bartender and at least one patron. Lots of shushing, in fact, which worked for a few minutes but had to be repeated. Still, the rumors about this place are true–if you are too loud, you will be shushed (or even asked to leave, or so we've been told). For that reason alone, Burp Castle climbs to the top of the list of our favorite bars.
Even though the reading during our second visit was dangerously close to 80 decibels we would still recommend Burp Castle. You may want to give it a pass on a very busy night, but when it's busy the staff takes measures to keep things in check. And on a slower night, it's positively blissful. Go.
Monday through Friday: 5:00 p.m. to midnight-ish*
Saturday and Sunday: 4:00 p.m. to midnight-ish*
Closing time is flexible. It's more likely that the bar will close after midnight later in the week, but it depends on the crowd.

Mon Petit Cafe — 72.2 decibels [CLOSED]
June 8, 2016 February 27, 2017 Leave a comment
Our visit to Mon Petit Cafe was brief as we only had time for a rushed lunch, but we wished we could have lingered. The cafe, which has been a neighborhood staple for over 30 years, offers French bistro classics in a comfortable space. We enjoyed our meal and found the space to be pleasant, in large part because the background music did not overwhelm and customer chatter was subdued. It was only half full during our visit but we were near the busy kitchen, so the 72.2 decibel reading is from the noisiest table in the restaurant. We suspect that the ceiling tiles (which may be acoustic), cafe curtains, cloth-covered tables, and a long upholstered banquette helped to keep the sound in check.
We were very happy with our decision to give Mon Petit Cafe a try and hope to return for dinner or brunch. Mon Petit Cafe would be a great spot to visit during a shopping jaunt, as it is near Bloomingdale's, Barneys, and lots of American and International shops. A yes for lunch, and given the design elements, dinner should be manageable, particularly earlier in the week.
UPDATE: After 32 years in business, Mon Petit Cafe, a neighborhood favorite, succumbed to "the crushing force" that is "the climate for [a] small business like ours in New York City." Or, in other words, they couldn't make a penny after payiing the criminal commercial rent demanded by the real estate warlords. In the end, a city that once thrived with small mom and pop businesses is becoming increasingly overwhelmed by national chains favored by the commercial real estate monsters. RIP, Mon Petit Cafe.

Now before we go further, let's talk about using store bought ranch seasoning. It isn't the healthiest option around, but it is quick, convenient, and affordable. Unfortunately store bought ranch seasoning usually has lots of sodium and normally contains both MSG and maltodextrin. It also contains some other preservatives and hard to pronounce ingredients. Depending on your diet and health needs, this may be a deal breaker for you or you may not mind. No judgment, just choose the option that is best for you. For a healthier option, you can make your own ranch seasoning at home. It tastes just as good and is made with natural ingredients, many of which you may already have. It just takes a little longer.
Cheddar Turkey Ranch Burger: Add 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture. Add 57 calories and 2 points per burger.
Bacon Turkey Ranch Burgers: Cook 4 slices of center cut bacon. Then chop and add them to the burgers. Add 25 calories and 1 point per burger.
Garlic and Ranch Turkey Burgers: Add 1-2 minced garlic cloves to the burger mix. This really kicks up the garlic flavor if that's your thing.
Beef Ranch Burgers: Substitute lean ground beef for the turkey for a beef version of this recipe. This adds 32 calories and the recipe is 4 Weight Watchers Freestyle points per patty.
Vegetarian Ranch Burgers: Here is a yummy version using chickpeas instead of turkey.
Buffalo Ranch Burgers: Since buffalo and ranch go together like peanut butter and jelly, you may have the awesome idea to add some buffalo sauce to this recipe. Personally I like adding it after the burger has cooked directly on the bun itself. If you add it to the burger mixture, you may need to add some breadcrumbs so that the burger stays together.
Side dish ideas! Need some ideas for side dishes. Consider serving your turkey ranch burgers with Parmesan Onion Straws, Skinny Fries, Spicy Sweet Potato Fries, or Celery Ranch Slaw.
If you are worried about your turkey burger being dry, there are a few ways you can add moisture. One of my favorite ways is to add 1/2 cup grated onion or zucchini. This adds flavor, veggies, and moisture to the burger. You could also use a higher fat ground turkey.
Serve this as a traditional burger in some low calorie or whole wheat buns. You could also wrap it up in lettuce, serve it on portobello or sweet potato buns, or chop it up and toss it in a salad.
Make a small indent with your thumb in the center of each burger before cooking. This helps to keep the burger from getting round like a hockey puck.

In case the promise of watching attractive people dance is not enough, the festival also features a comedy performance and a live rock'n'roll band playing alongside sexy dancers.
Vancouver Chinatown Night Market
May 17-September 8
Ah, Vancouver summers: Rain is in the forecast for only half of the week, parking around the beaches is impossible to find, and all the part-time jobs are taken by broke university students. But it's okay, because Vancouver's prime spot to buy five pairs of socks for $10 is back!
Vancouverites and visitors alike will be able to visit Chinatown for their favorite street foods, odd fashions, and fancy iPhone covers — all without having to face the blinding sun rays known to be so cruel to our pale, sickly, monitor-tanned skin.
Need more reasons to check out this annual event? Two words: Potato Tornado.

Chief Justice of Nigeria denies having secret meetings with Governor Nyesom Wike
The Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, yesterday, refuted reports that he had hosted Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State twice in his chamber at the Supreme Court.
The CJN, through a statement that was issued yesterday by his media aide, Mr. Ahuraka Isah, insisted that contrary to what was reported by a section of the media yesterday, he never at any time had an audience with Governor Wike in relation to any matter whatsoever.
He, however, acknowledged that Wike visited his office on July 6 and July 8.
According to the CJN, whereas he was not within the country the first time Wike visited his chamber, he was observing the interview of shortlisted applicants for the award of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, on July 8 when the governor repeated his visit, and was only informed about the development the next day.
The statement read: "Our attention has been drawn to insinuations in some dailies that the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, had met with the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Honourable Justice Mahmud Mohammed, during one of his visits to the office of the CJN on July 6 and 8.
"However, we would not have ordinarily wished to react to such stories except for the misinformation and the erroneous impression it may cast in the mind of the public.
"We wish to state with all emphasis that the CJN at no time had an audience with Governor Wike. This include before, on and after the said date.
"For further clarification, during the week of the purported first visit by Governor Wike on July 6, his Lordship was away in Saudi Arabia performing Umrah.
"On the date of the alleged second visit, which was on Wednesday July 8, the CJN was in Court observing the interview of shortlisted applicants for the award of Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
"A senior official in the CJN chamber intercepted Governor Wike and advised that it is a policy of the CJN not to entertain visits of politicians, especially those with cases in the courts.
"Consequently, Governor Wike left at that point, even though he tried to state reasons for his visit, which included the issue of the appointment of substantive Chief Judge for his state and to thank the CJN for sending the Bayelsa State Chief Judge to swear him into the office.
"In fact, his Lordship was not even aware of the visit until the next morning. The CJN, therefore, did not see the Governor as reported in the said dailies.
"I wish to assure the good people of Rivers State and Nigeria that the CJN and, indeed, the entire Office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria is veritably committed to upholding the integrity, neutrality and independence of our judiciary.
"This is a responsibility, which we hold dear and will not shirk."

Are You A Failure? - I'm your PA : The virtual assistant company that likes to make you smile.
Networking is very much like a support community for business people, the beauty is that often there is someone who has experienced whatever we are going through at any one time.
Often people don't like to ask for help for fear of being perceived as a failure.
Business is tough, Brad Burton once said the beauty of working for yourself is you choose which 140 hours a week you work –when we first set up in business, that is nearer to the truth than we realise!
I think it is important to note that we all go through struggles, they may be personal impacting on business or business impacting on personal stuff – remember you are never alone, but you do need to reach out. Over the last ten years I am happy to admit that I have faced struggles, sometimes a bit of friendly banter is all that is needed, other times I have needed some sort of professional advice, but when the going gets really tough I have actually lost belief in myself and my capabilities, those times for me are the toughest. After ten years of networking I am so fortunate that I have some amazing go to people to help me through these darkest of times. When I am feeling totally overwhelmed by everything these special "go to" people are the ones that help to rebuild my self belief, because they believe in me, without them I am not sure how I would pick up the pieces.

Q: Issue implementing line move up with Qt I've done a quick implementation of a move line up, in a class deriving QPlainTextEdit, but I have a weird issue.
The code works well, but the issue happen after an undo: cursor is not restored at the previous position in case the cursor was at the start of the line (and is restored on the next line).
If the cursor was at any other position on the line before the move, it is restored correctly.
Can you shed some light on this ? Thanks!

Greek life unites to make a change
by texannews · September 24, 2015
By Kelsey Poynor—
An empty milk jug, a few friends, good music and some spare change may not sound like much, but it might be all it takes to make a difference for some. Change for Change, an annual event that was hosted on Sept. 23 by Tarleton State University's Panhellenic Delta Zeta chapter, raised money for the hearing and speech impaired.
Delta Zeta sisters (left to right) Heather Stroven, Mackenzie Head and Ali Wilkinson took part in the Change for Change event hosted by their sorority.

Change for Change encourages all of Tarleton's Greek life to collect change in a jug within their fraternity or sorority, bring the jug of change to the event and donate it to the Starkey Hearing Foundation & Painted Turtle Camp. Starkey Hearing Foundation donates over 100,000 hearing aids annually to children and adults all over the world. Painted Turtle Camp is free to all campers and supports children with life-threatening illnesses.
Dolly Shine, a local Texas country band, played a concert at the event for the second year in a row. Zack McGinn, the lead singer of the band, said, "This [Stephenville] is really where we all started playing music. It's home for us."
"This is our second year in a row to play this event… We came out here and loved it. It's for an awesome cause," he said. "If you're reading this and you're a Tarleton student, make sure that you come out and support this cause every year."
Delta Zeta's 2015-2016 Executive Philanthropy Chairman Cayten White was in charge of the event. She said, "It's the most wonderful feeling in the world to see people come and support something that we, Delta Zeta, hold near and dear to our hearts."
White said, "Philanthropy is our way of upholding our promise in our creed 'to give graciously of what is ours.'"
This year's total for money raised by coin jugs alone was $3,576.83, and with event T-shirt sales added, the overall total reached $5,141.83. The total collected this year surpassed last year's total by a little over $2000 with a total of $3,100.
First place winners for the second year in a row, Sigma Chi, raised $669.59. They will get a free, private concert starring Prophets and Outlaws and Sam Riggs and the Night People as a prize. Coming in second place was Phi Mu, who raised $560.05, and third place was Farmhouse, who raised $511.90.

we All love songs of childhood, their uncomplicated melodies of life-motive heard in our hearts, resurrecting the memory of the best days of his youth. Once again nostalgic motivates the listener to plunge into the world of your favorite music, to enjoy listening to Golden Oldies distant youth.
sorry, the lion's share of old records rewritten once with vinyl or magnetic tape, is in terrible condition. The song is accompanied by POPs, clicks and interference, extremes of sound, and other time prints and imperfections of the recording techniques of yesteryear. Attempts to fix the sound using digital mastering (edition of sound by electronic devices or computer software) to some extent destroy the charm of the original recording. The effects distort the timbre of the performer's voice beyond recognition, drowned out the playing of individual instruments. During the restoration of magnetic films sound engineers often retain the sound with the wrong playback speed.
What if recording Your favorite songs along with a buzz from listening to it cause itching in the ears, and find your favorite songs in the best quality possible? Sophisticated audiophiles of course will turn its efforts to further the search for well-preserved media of sound as casual listeners to turn to the work of modern cover groups having his favorite song in his vast repertoire.
the First known predecessors Patriotic cover groups was tavern musicians, speaking every evening with a performance of the famous and lesser-known songs at the request of visitors of restaurant, and at weddings. Usually, the restaurant on the stage went to serve graduates of music schools, not obretenye Communist ideology. However, they had clearly approved of the Soviet repertoire, which is not always adhered to. Tavern singers were surrounded by a thick songbooks and reams of notes, and could cater to the musical whims of any paying customers.
Modern overbye ensembles is composed of talented professional musicians, often having a very good tavern school, and a lot of experience playing in front of a motley audience. As the former restaurant groups, each group has an impressive repertoire that combines popular songs of the 20th century.
In fact the cover-the performers are music festivals a very wide range, capable of high expression and professionalism to satisfy any of the once well-known song, not spoiling it, but on the contrary - to decorate the original vocal techniques and sound of live instruments.
Thanks to the creative activities of a number of local professional cover bands, many of the old songs got a second life, zazvuchal in unison with time. Sure, Your favorite old tune is also saved and resurrected in a new sound. Long live old new song!

Show Preview & Interview: JOHNNYSWIM @ the Neptune, Fri. 10/14
Posted on 10/13/2016 by Dagmar
The wonderful duo JOHNNYSWIM headlines the Neptune tomorrow evening, Friday October 14th. Combining folk, rock and pop, husband and wife team Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano are now on their fourth LP, Georgica Pond, an album with lovely songs – including one with none other than Vince Gill! JOHNNYSIM is well known for passionate shows, with music drawing from deep emotion. After meeting at church in 2001 and then continuing their own lives, Ramirez and Sudano didn't reconnect until four years later, being introduced again by fellow musician Mat Kearney. How fortunate are we that fate brought them together? Very. They continue to create beautiful together, and the partnership has also created life last year with the birth of their son, Joaquin. Very special side note: Amanda Sudano is Donna Summer's daughter. I'm so happy to see that Summer, who remains one of my favorite singers, has such a talented daughter. While Sudano is her own artist, of course, I can at times hear Summer in her voice. So awesome.
How is Joaquin? I really love the updates on your Facebook page!
Amanda: He's doing great. He's nineteenth months old now. He's a fun treasure.
Before we had him I didn't think about how we'd be travelling, and bottling our dreams and having him at the same time. I had a good friend tell me, before I got pregnant, that babies are portable. I didn't realized how focused I would be, because my time is somewhat limited. I'm not always available, but when I find that I do have the time, I'm focused and happier to do what I love.
Does he go on tour with you?
Amanda: We've put him on, like eighty four flights, and he's been traveling with us since he was seven weeks old. There's only been a handful of shows where he hasn't been somewhere nearby, and that was to keep him at home, to keep a routine.
You are two very positive people. How do you maintain such positivity in an industry that can be very difficult?
Abner: I think it has a lot to do with how we were raised. My parents came here in 1980 during the Mariel boatlift. They came to find opportunities. I was born in the US, but my two sisters were seven and eight years old when they came. I remember when I graduated high school, my dad almost kicked me out of the house, saying, "What do you want to do?" And all I could think of was music. Growing up in the Westside in Jacksonville, Florida, pursuing music as a career isn't something that anybody you know has even tried. It didn't seem like a real thing I could do. I was struggling to commit to a college. I wanted to play music for a living. He said, "Where do you have to go to do that? New York, LA, or Nashville?" He said, "We can't afford New York or LA, so let's get you into Nashville." So my dad dropped me off at school, Trevecca Nazarene, and my said to me, with a tear in his eye, "Don't come home until your dreams come true." But then he called me and said, "You know I mean don't ever come home, just don't give up."
It's funny, I was talking to our manager today, we talked about how so often, we found true, that it's not the great times that define you, or the great times that even chart your course – it's how you handle the bad times. We see negativity. It's not that when we get bad news we ignore it. We're really lucky to do what we love for a living. And of course there's bad news, bad times, hard times. We're committed to seeing them through because we believe it will just make us stronger.
What was it like starting out as a duo?
Abnber: People mocked us, "Are you trying to be Sonny & Cher?" We had eight years in complete obscurity. It was impossible! We did it because we loved it. We weren't going to stop making music, so we might as well make it together.
Has touring affected your songwriting?
Amanda: Yeah. I think in our live shows is where we found our voice the most, it's where we let ourselves be extra free. There's energy and freedom in the room. I think it's taught us to trust our instincts.
How do you decide who will sing which parts of a song?
Amanda: It's always different, but we don't overthink that part. It's always organic.
What made you decide to make a Christmas album? (A JOHNNYSWIM CHRISTMAS was released in 2014)
Abner: We'd just gone on a Christmas tour. Christmas in our house is our favorite time of year. Amanda, it turned out, just wanted an excuse to listen to more Christmas music during the year. She started research in May, playing Christmas music all the time.
Did you go through rebellious stages as teenagers?
Amanda: My rebellious stage was going to college. My parents, knowing how much I loved music and singing, were encouraging me. But I thought, no, maybe I'll be on the business side. I would joke with them that graduating from college was my rebellion.
You had two introductions before you got together?
Amanda: We first saw each other at church and then we didn't meet until Mat actually introduced us four years later. I think those four years were definitely needed for Abner to get out of his rebellious stage.
Abner: I am so grateful I had those four years, because I needed them to grow up. I was a bit of a handful.
Amanda, you mentioned in another interview that a Vince Gill album was one of the first cassettes you bought. What was it like working with him on "Lonely Night in Georgia"?
Amanda: It was so surreal. I was so happy. I think my cheeks still hurt from how much I was smiling the whole day. I think I contributed the least to that song of any song on the record, only because I was so excited I couldn't even think properly. Everything was awesome. We were writing with Vince Gill. That was a dream come true.

Q: Cannot make Android In-App purchase using test account I have implemented In-App purchase in my app. I am able to create different In-App products along with test accounts. But the problem occurs when I purchase In-App product, it shows a message "The item you were trying to purchase could not be found". But the item is existing with exact product id. Can anyone help me?

A: Is the purchase item marked as published? If it isn't you may get that exception.
Take a look at Google's documentation. Step 2 talks about marking items as published. You also have to ensure the application is signed with your release certificate.

A: try doing it without test account, it will work best luck :)

UGM Lecturers Do Community Empowerment for CaRED Programme on Seram Island
Dosen UGM Memberdayakan Masyarakat Pulau Seram Melalui Program CaRED
Seram island in Central Maluku has big potential in renewable natural resources, such as coconut trees, cocoa, dammar, and candlenut. This has driven a group of lecturers from Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) to make local community empowerment programme so the local people can process this potential further.
Under the Community Resilience and Economic Development (CaRED) UGM programme, a UGM group has been supported with funds through a collaboration between UGM and the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) for community empowerment in eastern Indonesia. The group consists of Prof. Dr. Ir. Sutardi, MAppSc. (Agricultural Technology), Dr. Ir. Hary Sulistyo and Dr. M. M. Azis, MSc.(Engineering), Dr. Ir. Lestari Rahayu W. (Agriculture), and Drs. Purwanto, MPhil. (Social and Political Sciences).
"The programme will be running in Isu village in TNS Waipia District for 30 months from July 2016 to October 2018," said Sutardi, Principle Investigator of the group, on Tuesday (4/4).
The programme entitled Empowerment of Central Maluku Regency Community to Promote Sustainability of Small and Medium Scale Integrated Coconut Processing Industry aims to promote local community empowerment for coconut processing as a way to improve their welfare.
Furthermore, Sutardi said with the support from UGM Student Community Service programme running in that area, the CaRED UGM programme is expected to be able to accelerate development and empowerment efforts to secure an independent and prosperous condition for the village through utilisation of local resource potential.
He also hoped the programme would not stop at the end of the set period but would be sustained and replicated in other areas in Indonesia that need special attention.
"Hopefully, the people of eastern Indonesia generally, and the Seram people particularly, can benefit from the UGM efforts to support the government development programme. The success of this programme may be replicated in other villages on Seram island that also have abundant natural resources," he concluded.

Shrimp Cakes are juicy and flavorful, spiked with fresh dill, lemon, and smoked paprika, and served with the most amazing mayo-based dipping sauce. The cakes are the perfect finger food that the whole family will love!
When it comes to shrimp, our family is a huge fan of them. We eat a lot of shrimp dishes, and Shrimp Cakes is easily one of the top dishes we enjoy the most. If you are a huge shrimp fan like us, check out the Spicy Garlic Shrimp. This recipe is so tasty especially when you dip in some crusty, warm bread in it. Similarly, we recently made these Bacon Wrapped Shrimp and they were a huge success.
Shrimp Cakes are very similar to crab cakes, but also a lot cheaper to make. Similarly, we like them more because they tend to be juicier and more versatile than traditional crab cakes. You can mix them with your favorite ingredients, or veggies, so the mix and match possibilities are endless. If you are a cheese lover, you can add some cheese into the mix. Also, if you enjoy a spicier kick, just add some jalapeño. Whichever mix you prefer, they are guaranteed to be a huge hit. They always come out juicy, tender and very flavorful!
These Shrimp Cakes have long been one of our favorite dinner dishes to make for a few reasons. First, they are very easy and timely to make, and also a cheaper alternative compared to what you pay at a restaurant. The shrimp are cut and mixed with all the fresh ingredients, like fresh lemon juice, fresh dill, and green onion, and then combined together into cakes. Served with a dill mayo-based dipping sauce or salad, they are guaranteed to make your family and guests happy!
HOW LONG DO YOU COOK SHRIMP CAKES IN THE OVEN?
For this recipe, we cooked the Shrimp Cakes on the skillet, for a crispier texture. Alternatively, you can bake the Shrimp Cakes in a 400F preheated oven, for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the cakes are crisp around the edges and shrimp turn pink.
Can I use a food processor to chop the shrimp meat?
We prefer to cut the shrimp by knife in proportional sizes because we like to feel the larger shrimp bites in the cakes. However, using the food processor will finely chop raw shrimp meat uniformly. It will work great as well, but make sure not to over process your shrimp – you want small chunks, but you don't want to grind it into a paste.
What kind of wine pairs well with Shrimp Cakes?
White wine usually pairs well when cooking shrimp or any other Seafood dish. Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay would be ideal wines to use for shrimp. This is your go-to category. If possible, choose a wine that has a moderate alcohol content, preferably between 10 and 13 percent, and generous acidity.
Use quality shrimp. Preferable wild-caught shrimp whenever possible.
Similarly, avoid farm-raised shrimp, because they might be raised with antibiotics and could lead to health problems.
Wash the shrimp really well and dry them with a paper towel before cutting.
Also, use fresh lemon juice as it will give a fresher and nicer flavor to the dish.
If you like garlic, add some freshly minced to the mixed.
Use an ice cream scoop to make the ball portion of shrimp cakes.
Shrimp Cakes are juicy and flavorful, spiked with fresh dill, lemon and smoked paprika, and served with the most amazing mayo based dipping sauce.
Using a sharp knife, cut the shrimp into small cubed like pieces.
Transfer the shrimp to a large bowl and add the remaining of the ingredients: panko bread crumbs, beaten egg, hot sauce, green onion, dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, onion powder and salt. Stir gently to combine.
Form the shrimp mixture into 8-10 patties. You can use an ice cream scoop to make each sized portion.
Next, heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp patties in a single layer and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Gently flip on the other side, to not break the patties.
Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until fully combined. Serve with the shrimp cakes with lemon wedges on the side.
These were really good. As suggested I used less mayo, added a little old bay and patted on panko crumbs. Stayed together perfect and had a wonderful delicate taste. Thank you! Loved your recipe!!
Oh wow these look amazing!!! 🙂 But seriously, that crust – has me DROOLING!
I'm such a seafood lover and I've had crab cakes and salmon cakes but I've never had shrimp cakes. I need to make these soon. I know my husband will like them too. The dipping sauce sounds good too.
My entire family would love this! I love that they're easy to make. I would have to make about 3 dozen to make it to our family!
You had me at shrimp, which we all love. My son will eat shrimp all day if we could afford it. These cakes look great and I have to try to make them for the boy.
My family is huge fans of shrimp. I know they would love this recipe. Looking forward to making it for them.
30 mins? Wow! I need to make these for the hubby he would love them.
I've NEVER had shrimp cakes. Which is saying a lot because I love seafood and shrimp is my fave. I have a few tried and true crab cake recipes but I may just have to try out this recipe.
I have made crab and salmon cakes but never shrimp ones. Yours look delicious–I need to try this recipe!
I know my kids would love these. They are all about shrimp! This would be a tasty dinner.
These look really good. I have had crab cakes and fish cakes but I have never had shrimp cakes.
This looks so yummy! My mom makes her own version but this recipe is another must-try. Love that there are veggies in the mix.
YUM! I am printing this one out and trying it this week! I bet they are delicious.
I am sure he will enjoy these!
I am not a fan of shrimp but the rest of my family loves it. I can't wait to try to make these for them.
You should make these for them they will love it!
Oh yum, I've never tried shrimp cakes before. I've had crab cakes which are pretty good, but I may need to try these soon.
thats the best way to enjoy these!
I've made crab cakes and salmon cakes, but never would have thought to make shrimp cakes. Interesting. These look pretty tasty! I'd probably use a food processor to chop up the shrimp though because I'm not sure how I'd feel about the meat chunks. Hmmm.. Definitely gotta try these.
You can use a food processor, just make sure you don't make them into a paste.

Harvard University and Arab Republic of Egypt announce fellowship program to advance public health, education, and government
HMS field station founder Elizabeth Lindemann dies
Date November 15, 2007 January 8, 2018
Harvard University and the Arab Republic of Egypt announced today (Nov. 13) the creation of a new fellowship program to provide financial support to students from Egypt accepted to the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Harvard School of Public Health, or Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. This program has been established by an endowment of $10 million from the Arab Republic of Egypt to finance prestigious "Egypt Fellowships" designed to enable highly qualified members of the Egyptian public sector to study at Harvard.
"This historic contribution, the largest ever focused on Egypt received by Harvard, furthers the University's ability to attract and enroll extraordinary students regardless of their financial capacity," said Harvard President Drew Faust. "We are particularly pleased that this endowment supports graduate students pursuing careers in the critically important fields of education, public health, and government."
Youssef Boutros Ghali, the Egyptian minister of finance, traveled to Cambridge. Mass., to join Faust in signing the agreement establishing this endowed fellowship program. Ghali said, "It is not often that a minister of finance or other government official has an opportunity to do something that will have a positive impact for millennia to come. These endowed funds will forever ensure that students from Egypt may study at Harvard, providing generations of future Egyptian leaders with the opportunity to expand their knowledge about and exposure to fields of study that are vital to any society's success: education, health, and government."
"This contribution will allow the Kennedy School to enhance its efforts to train future global leaders," said Kennedy School Dean David T. Ellwood. "The Egypt Fellowship program will stand along with our other prominent regional fellowship programs – such as the McCloy Scholars Program for students from Germany and the Kokkalis Fellows Program for students from Southeastern and East-Central Europe."
Harvard School of Public Health Dean Barry R. Bloom said, "We are enormously appreciative of the commitment by the government of Egypt to create a new level of leadership in public health and health care in their nation."
"The strength of education lies in its ability to change lives and promote a just society. As the leadership in Egypt increases its efforts to promote public service careers in its country, the Harvard Graduate School of Education is honored to be a partner," said Kathleen McCartney, dean of the Graduate School of Education. "We look forward to welcoming new students from Egypt in the near future."
An extensive outreach, communication, and recruiting effort will be undertaken by Harvard and the Egyptian government to build an applicant pool of highly qualified Egyptian students.

Q: How are retries handled in the context of branching PCollections? Apache Beam runners can perform fusion to optimize the graph execution. However, in certain cases fusion may result in suboptimal performance.
In Cloud Dataflow, this can be avoided by inserting a Reshuffle Transform or GroupByKey, which breaks fusion, as per Deploying-a-pipeline#fusion-optimization . Otherwise, the fusion of several PTransforms
results in a fused Stage. Notably, a Reshuffle is stated to be deprecated, with the Question: (Apache Beam/Dataflow ReShuffle deprecated, what to use instead?) noting that Dataflow installs a ReshuffleOverrideFactory that essentially reduces the Reshuffle Transform to a windowed GroupByKey followed by iterable expansion.
In the event of a failure, Cloud Dataflow will retry the failed bundle (infinitely for streaming mode, and up to 4 times for batch mode), as per Deploying a Pipeline#error-and-exception-handling. The retry will only occur on the failing transform in the Apache Beam model,
unless it is coupled (Coupled Failing)
Based on this understanding, I have executed the following Pipelines(simplified for conciseness):

*

*Pipeline A: Read Files >> Parse Files (High Fan-out ParDo transform) >> [Write to BigQuery, Write to Pub/Sub]

*Pipeline B: Read Files >> Parse Files (High Fan-out ParDo transform) >> [Reshuffle >> Write to BigQuery, Write to Pub/Sub]

Both pipelines are writing to a non-existent Pub/Sub topic to replicate an error scenario
For pipeline A, we observed the following:

*

*our ParDo (which is parsing the files) is retrying as since it could not write to Pub/Sub.

*system latency is increasing and there is no output to BigQuery as it internally contains a Reshuffle, thus every step prior to the Reshuffle's groupbykey operation is being retried as part of the fused stage, as we expected (The bundle has an element with an error).

For pipeline B, we observed the following:

*

*our ParDo does not appear to be retrying

*Interestingly, we are seeing data written to BigQuery, even though there are errors reported in the Dataflow Pub/Sub Metrics(and thus expecting a retry to process the file instead of even writing to BigQuery)

Based on my previous question, I understand only the outputs/side effects of a single successful retry will be observed downstream: How is exactly-once processing maintained during worker failures or bundle retries?. However, Pipeline A appears to be conforming to this observation, while Pipeline B is not. The only difference between these Pipelines is the addition of the Reshuffle PTransform, yet both exhibit different behaviour.
In summary, I guess I have the following question:
How are retries handled in the context of a fused stage; in particular, fused stage with branching outputs? e.g. if there is a bundle retry, does it retry all branches or only the failing branch?

Despite the crudity of the subject matter, Raging Bull is one of Scorsese's best films, a biopic about real-life middleweight boxer Jake LaMotta, Michael Chapman's excellent black and white photography gives the film a B-grade look appropriate to the 1940s to '50s period in which the film is set and the fight sequences are brilliantly executed (longtime Scorsese collaborator, editor Thelma Schoonmaker.deservedly won an Oscar) whilst Robert de Niro gives a stand-out performance (and also won an Oscar). When combined with Paul Schrader's script (with contributions by Mardik Martin, La Motta as original author and consultant an, although uncredited, De Niro), and Scorsese's deftly-judged direction (the same three-way collaboration that yielded Taxi Driver) the outcome makes for a convincing embodiment of the world from which those fictions are derived.
De Niro has played more than his fair share of fictional Brooklyn thugs and in hindsight at least Raging Bull could well be a test run for Goodfellas (1990) and Casino (1995) particularly thanks to the contributions of Joe Pesci as LaMotta's brother. It is only in the second half that Scorsese steps away from gangster movie generics, stylishly done as they are, and De Niro really gets a chance to act. In her screen debut the Kim Novakish beauty Cathy Moriarty, who was only 17 when the film began production gives a remarkable performance as Vickie, the madonna-whore of LaMotta's tortured imagination (once again she is a pre-echo of Sharon Tate's Ginger in Casino).
FYI: Ms. Moriarty was seen the following year as Dan Ackroyd's wife, Ramona, in the comedy Neighbours but a near fatal car accident interrupted her career for most of the '80s and she never returned to the big time.

Rent to Own Homes near University Park, TX
Right outside of Dallas, TX is University Park -- a small university town that's bordered by Dallas on three of its sides. The two towns are so close that many mistake it for Dallas. However, in reality, it's a place with an identity and character all its own. University Park was founded officially in 1924. Since then, it's become a residential enclave in the Dallas Metro area, now serving as the hometown for more than 23,000 people.
Check out 300 University Park, TX rent to own homes for sale, which may include auction properties, for sale by owner, and more.

Top 4 Reasons to live in University Park
Owners rejoice! People who are looking to own or rent to own a place will find themselves right at home in University Park.

Bush Presidential Library, which is located in town. Other great spots for readers include Logos Bookstore and Barnes and Noble.
Delicious Dining! People in University Park definitely know how to eat. The town is packed with excellent bars and restaurants to cater to nearly any culinary taste. Want Japanese? Go for Sushi Kyoto. If you're in the mood for some more classic bar or pub fare, one of the best choices in town is Savor Gastropub.
Desirable living! People really like living in University Park. That's great news if you're planning to move there. However, it can be difficult to find a place to live in the city, since the vacancy rate is about 5 percent at any time. Don't fret, though; there are lots of excellent housing options that can be found with just a little searching. Want to stay in a hotel while you're looking for the right place to lay your head at night? Try The Lumen or the Bradford Homesuites in town.
Outdoor haven! People in Texas love taking advantage of the warm Texan outdoors. Luckily, this area is the location of some great parks, which means that people have lovely green space to spend their time. Germany Park is a popular place for picnics on the west side of town. The city is also home to Williams Park, Native Texas Park, Turner Centennial Quad, Coffee Park and Caruth Park. For people who want to play sports outside, there's also the very convenient Dallas Country Club nearby.
