Attending the event with Governor Rick Scott was Secretary of Commerce and CEO of Enterprise Florida, Gray Swoope.

In a dull night of football, Arsenal and Sporting drew 0-0.
It wasn't the most pulsating night of action, but Arsenal did get the point they needed to seal qualification to the Round of 32 even though they lost two players to injury. Who were the winners and losers"
The Uruguayan defender was once a can't miss defensive prospect. Seriously, when Uruguay won the 2011 Copa América they did so with Coates next to Diego Lugano at the heart of defence. Coates benched Diego Godín! But then a move to Liverpool ended in misery, and it appeared his meteoric rise was going to end with him crashing back to earth.
How nice, then, to see him rock up at the Emirates and play with such impeccable assurance. This was vintage Coates, the Uruguayan was powerful, poised, athletic (well, athletic enough) and tactically one step-ahead of every Arsenal attacker. Coates repelled countless Arsenal attacks and was a huge reason why the game finished 0-0 instead of, say, 3-0.
Just how unlucky can one man be" Danny Welbeck is a delightful footballer, a wonderful blend of ceaseless hard work, genuinely impressive athleticism and intelligent and perceptive tactical play. He has everything in him to be world-class but for two flaws: inconsistent finishing and, sadly, a propensity to just get hurt.
Injuries can be quite logical. A player's hamstring goes once and they're never the same (e.g. Michael Owen). Or knee ligaments are snapped and so the strain put on the rest of the leg leads to a history of muscle injuries (e.g. Owen Hargreaves). But sometimes injuries are just senseless and cruel, as is the case with Danny Welbeck.
The Englishman has picked up all manner of injuries over the course of his career, with absolutely no logic to them. And tonight he injured his ankle quite horrifically simply when trying to land after an aerial challenge. It was so innocuous and so sad to see him in such pain, being comforted by former Manchester United team-mate Nani, especially as he had just been recalled to the England squad.
Some guys just have no luck. Get well soon, Welbz!
Jeremy Mathieu has won the Treble. That is something that probably shouldn't be overlooked. The Frenchman was a key part of Barcelona's success in those first two seasons under Luis Enrique. He provided the kind of physical presence and tactical smarts that Samuel Umtiti has done with much greater quality since 2016.


Teambuilder, set up by supporters and involving kind donations from Lambs fans, has already helped fund the re-signing of skipper Paul Green.
And, this week, it played its part in bringing Elliott Durrell to The Lamb.
"Teambuilder has been a big help to me," said boss Andy Morrell. "In terms of Elliott, he was a lad I felt can be a big player for us this season. He was a wanted man in the league though.
"He had some very good offers on the table, so to get him on board was hard.
"So I was looking for a bit more to make the deal happen and Teambuilder were happy to support us.
"They have been great and it really does make a difference.

Well, I did it. I actually wrote tonight! Seems strange to say after posting only a few weeks ago about how I'd found my 'writing mojo' again. It was true, but that was actually in relation to editing a manuscript not writing one. At the time, I'd become excited about the story again and went into rewrites with gusto. I'd reconnected with the characters and their crazy world and couldn't wait to finish it right. But that project is done and now…well, I'm trying to figure out where to turn next. I have two WIP's already simmering on back burners somewhere as well as book three of my trilogy to write. So which one should I pull out?
Seems simple, but I find right now that Life is getting in the way of writing. I just published The Purple Morrow, my first book, and as exciting and amazing as that is, publishing it is still near the beginning of the book-making-selling process: now comes the business of getting it into the hands of readers. That takes time! I've got local bookshops to meet, book signings and whatnot to look into, not to mention online marketing tools to learn and develop…the list goes on and on. The stress constantly increases. And it's November, the most depressing month of the year–I mean, really, pitch black outside at 4:30 PM? Who came up with that???
I love writing but I find I'm in a new phase called Exhaustion. Life was simpler when all I had was the Dream to publish a book and all I had to do was sit at my laptop and write! Now there's all this Other Stuff added to that, which though interesting and new, takes away from the simple joy of doing what I love best, all because I want to get my book out there, make it stand out from the others circulating in the market, and maybe make some pocket change in the process. Am I complaining? No. I enjoy challenges and I enjoy learning so it's not all bad. I guess I'm just starting to realize the impact that pursuing this dream is having on my life as I push along this second career path. It's time consuming like crazy and sometimes I think, "Something's got to give." But what?
Anyway, this is my evening ramble just before I head to bed. If anyone can make sense out this, drop me a line. Anyone have words of wisdom to share or a related experience to share? I'd love to hear from you.
If I can help with publicity count on me.
Congratulations on finishing the book. Best of luck with your sales.
My friend just released her book, today actually, and is already saying this as well. She's lamenting over how complicated it's been, getting it released, and also realized last night that she hasn't really sat down and written in almost a year because she's been editing so much.
I guess it's part of the cycle of life here!
I wish your friend good luck! Thanks for reading, Katie!

text: Q: Coordinate geometry diagonals. The diagonals of a parallelogram $PQRS$ are $$x+3y=4$$ and $$6x-2y=7$$ Now this is pretty clear that the two diagonals are perpendicular to each other and hence it can be a square or a rhombus. But how do I decide whether its actually a square of a rhombus. (I am asking this because the question which I solved had both square and rhombus as its option).

MEDFORD, Ore. — Spring is a time of nature's annual renewal, which can be a reminder to do a little personal health renewal in the form of an annual wellness visit to the doctor.
Many health plans recommend an annual visit to your primary care provider even if you have no particular health concerns at the moment. It's a way to catch up on preventive screenings and talk about how you can fend off illness in the future.
During your wellness visit, your doctor may ask you a few questions related to use of alcohol or other chemical substances, even if the subject has never come up in the conversation before.
Health experts say to not be offended. It's actually an effective practice strongly supported by medical research.
It starts with a quick screening of most patients, not just those who have observable symptoms of substance use. It has been proved to help identify potential problem areas and to connect patients to treatment for those who need it.
A national study, published in Addiction in 2017 by the Society for the Study of Addiction, says that this brief intervention was associated with positive outcomes.
If your doctor doesn't ask, it's even a good idea to bring it up yourself. Just ask about S.B.I.R.T.
It can't hurt, and it can sure be a help if it's needed.
Most health plans also offer treatment help. Community resources can also be found at the 211info website, http://211info.org/search-resources/.

What kind of loser will Bernie Sanders be?
tags: election 2016, Bernie Sanders
by Mark McLay
Mark McLay is a lecturer in History at Glasgow Caledonian University. Joe Ryan-Hume also contributed to this article.
During his barnstorming rallies to massive audiences, Bernie Sanders is fond of declaring "enough is enough!" And after the latest round of primary results, many Democratic party leaders will be hoping Sanders now feels similarly about his own campaign.
Sanders and his team should take immense pride in what they've achieved over the past 12 months. On July 8 2015, the RealClearPolitics polling average had the Vermont Senator on a mere 14.3%, almost a full 50 points behind the apparently bulletproof Clinton. To the extent he was noticed at all, Sanders was treated by the press and Clinton supporters as a benign but crusty uncle, well-meaning but toothless.
One year on, Sanders has emerged victorious in more than 20 states, and at one point in April he reduced the gap in that same average to just 1%. And those victories are just half the story.
Most importantly, Sanders and his followers have played a role in forcing Clinton to embrace her own progressive instincts rather than taking to the safety of the centre ground. He has also ensured that "socialism" is no longer a taboo word in American politics, at least not in a Democratic primary. Meanwhile, Winnie Wong, the digital strategist behind #FeelTheBern, will probably never want for work again.
Despite all these achievements, Bernie has fallen short. So what should he do now? If we look to the recent past, there are a few well-trodden routes he can take.
Path #1: unity at all costs
Sanders doesn't have to set his own example of how to unify the Democratic party after a divisive and close primary campaign. Eight years ago, Hillary Clinton herself showed everyone how it's done.
After an equivocal statement on the night of the last primaries, Clinton formally dropped out four days later and gave Obama a full-throated endorsement. Later that month, in a symbolic gesture, the two former rivals made a joint appearance in the aptly-named New Hampshire town of Unity, where they had both captured 107 votes in the state's primary.
And to cap it all, it was she who stopped the (well-choreographed) roll-call of delegate votes at the Democratic convention to formally seal Obama's nomination. She then used her convention speech to declare: "Barack Obama is my candidate, and he must be our president."
Despite the lingering bitterness of a rancorous nomination battle, her friendship with Republican nominee John McCain, and the encouragement of hardcore supporters (rallying under the slogan Party Unity My Ass), she then hit the trail and worked hard to help secure Barack Obama's victory.
But this year, things are rather different. For one thing, Clinton was a natural potential successor for Obama; to have a shot, she was always going to need his supporters and the goodwill of the party. At 74, it seems unlikely that Sanders will entertain similar ambitions. And while Clinton and Obama endured a fiercer battle in 2008, their policy positions and visions of how politics should be were far closer than Clinton's and Sanders's are today.
Path 2: Berning down the house
Another option for Sanders is to act as a disruptive force and weaken Hillary Clinton ahead of the general election, as Senator Ted Kennedy did to President Jimmy Carter in 1980.
John F Kennedy's younger brother had already shown he cared little for party unity by challenging a sitting Democratic president, and he continued to show contempt for the principle even after Carter won enough delegates to secure the nomination.
Indeed, Kennedy spent the time between the final primary in June and the August convention trying capitalise on Carter's increasing unpopularity in the country. His aim was to enact a rules change at the convention that would allow Carter delegates to jump ship, thinking he could save the Democratic ticket from certain failure with Carter at the helm.
Kennedy ultimately secured neither his rule change nor the nomination, but his staunchly liberal campaign still managed to reverse much of Carter's policy platform. Most conspicuously, the senator gave one of the most memorable speeches of any recent convention, ending with what became his signature line: "The dream will never die."
Rubbing salt in the wound, Kennedy then refused to hold Carter's arms aloft in victory, making the deep rift in the party all too clear.
There are those speculating that Sanders will choose this path to the Philadelphia convention this July, but even given the intransigence of many core Sanders supporters, the rationale for the candidate himself is hard to see.
The Vermont Senator has made it clear that he wants no part in helping to elect Donald Trump in November. A futile act of political arson would achieve the opposite – and it would close off another more appealing path.
Path 3: viva la revolución!
Perhaps the best parallel for Sanders is the Reverend Jesse Jackson, who ran two trailblazing campaigns for the Democratic nomination in 1984 and 1988. Sanders, mayor of Burlington at the time, was one of the few white politicians to endorse Jackson's 1988 run – and like Sanders today, Jackson was hardly beloved by the Democratic establishment, but on his second attempt he finished a surprisingly strong second place to the eventual nominee.
The culturally and racially diverse "rainbow coalition" that Jackson formed in 1984 helped propel Democrats to victories in the 1986 midterms, and his strong performance in 1988 suggested that the power of the coalition was only growing.
While Jackson hoped to become the first African-American to run on a national ticket, Dukakis refused. He nonetheless enjoyed a primetime speaking slot at the convention, and his campaign secured changes to primary rules that made the voting process fairer and more proportional. These changes are now credited by some with opening the door to Obama's victory a generation later.
While Dukakis ultimately met a crushing defeat at the hands of George H W Bush, Jackson kept the rainbow coalition alive, working tirelessly to bring young and minority voters into the party.
Certainly, the Democrats will hope that Sanders plays a similar role in keeping his millions of young voters involved in politics – particularly during the midterm years that have so confounded Democrats over the past decade.
As did Jackson, he will undoubtedly have some concessions to bargain for. We may well be about to see the end of "superdelegates", the hundreds of party grandees who get to cast convention votes for the nominee. And we may soon see the back of the party chair, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, with whom the Sanders campaign's relationship has all but broken down.
While the Sanders camp has continued to insist he will fight for the nomination all the way to the convention, this will probably turn out to be at most a negotiating ploy. Over the past year, he has captured lighting in a bottle; rather than steal Clinton's thunder, he'll probably use it to electrify the Democratic convention, secure himself a lasting legacy, and fire up his troops for the fight against Donald Trump.

What is machine learning? Intelligence derived from data
Deep learning vs. machine learning: Understand the differences
What is deep learning? Algorithms that mimic the human brain
Review: 6 machine learning clouds
Machine learning algorithms explained
Machine learning uses algorithms to turn a data set into a model. Which algorithm works best depends on the problem
By Martin Heller
Machine learning and deep learning have been widely embraced, and even more widely misunderstood. In this article, I'd like to step back and explain both machine learning and deep learning in basic terms, discuss some of the most common machine learning algorithms, and explain how those algorithms relate to the other pieces of the puzzle of creating predictive models from historical data.
What are machine learning algorithms?
Recall that machine learning is a class of methods for automatically creating models from data. Machine learning algorithms are the engines of machine learning, meaning it is the algorithms that turn a data set into a model. Which kind of algorithm works best (supervised, unsupervised, classification, regression, etc.) depends on the kind of problem you're solving, the computing resources available, and the nature of the data.
[ Make sense of machine learning: AI, machine learning, and deep learning: Everything you need to know. | Machine learning explained. | Machine learning algorithms explained. | Machine learning skills for software engineers. ]
How machine learning works
Ordinary programming algorithms tell the computer what to do in a straightforward way. For example, sorting algorithms turn unordered data into data ordered by some criteria, often the numeric or alphabetical order of one or more fields in the data.
Linear regression algorithms fit a straight line, or another function that is linear in its parameters such as a polynomial, to numeric data, typically by performing matrix inversions to minimize the squared error between the line and the data. Squared error is used as the metric because you don't care whether the regression line is above or below the data points; you only care about the distance between the line and the points.
Nonlinear regression algorithms, which fit curves that are not linear in their parameters to data, are a little more complicated, because, unlike linear regression problems, they can't be solved with a deterministic method. Instead, the nonlinear regression algorithms implement some kind of iterative minimization process, often some variation on the method of steepest descent.
Steepest descent basically computes the squared error and its gradient at the current parameter values, picks a step size (aka learning rate), follows the direction of the gradient "down the hill," and then recomputes the squared error and its gradient at the new parameter values. Eventually, with luck, the process converges. The variants on steepest descent try to improve the convergence properties.
Machine learning algorithms are even less straightforward than nonlinear regression, partly because machine learning dispenses with the constraint of fitting to a specific mathematical function, such as a polynomial. There are two major categories of problems that are often solved by machine learning: regression and classification. Regression is for numeric data (e.g. What is the likely income for someone with a given address and profession?) and classification is for non-numeric data (e.g. Will the applicant default on this loan?).
Prediction problems (e.g. What will the opening price be for Microsoft shares tomorrow?) are a subset of regression problems for time series data. Classification problems are sometimes divided into binary (yes or no) and multi-category problems (animal, vegetable, or mineral).
Supervised learning vs. unsupervised learning
Independent of these divisions, there are another two kinds of machine learning algorithms: supervised and unsupervised. In supervised learning, you provide a training data set with answers, such as a set of pictures of animals along with the names of the animals. The goal of that training would be a model that could correctly identify a picture (of a kind of animal that was included in the training set) that it had not previously seen.
In unsupervised learning, the algorithm goes through the data itself and tries to come up with meaningful results. The result might be, for example, a set of clusters of data points that could be related within each cluster. That works better when the clusters don't overlap.
Training and evaluation turn supervised learning algorithms into models by optimizing their parameters to find the set of values that best matches the ground truth of your data. The algorithms often rely on variants of steepest descent for their optimizers, for example stochastic gradient descent (SGD), which is essentially steepest descent performed multiple times from randomized starting points. Common refinements on SGD add factors that correct the direction of the gradient based on momentum or adjust the learning rate based on progress from one pass through the data (called an epoch) to the next.
Data cleaning for machine learning
There is no such thing as clean data in the wild. To be useful for machine learning, data must be aggressively filtered. For example, you'll want to:
Look at the data and exclude any columns that have a lot of missing data.
Look at the data again and pick the columns you want to use for your prediction. (This is something you may want to vary when you iterate.)
Exclude any rows that still have missing data in the remaining columns.
Correct obvious typos and merge equivalent answers. For example, U.S., US, USA, and America should be merged into a single category.
Exclude rows that have data that is out of range. For example, if you're analyzing taxi trips within New York City, you'll want to filter out rows with pick-up or drop-off latitudes and longitudes that are outside the bounding box of the metropolitan area.
There is a lot more you can do, but it will depend on the data collected. This can be tedious, but if you set up a data-cleaning step in your machine learning pipeline you can modify and repeat it at will.
Data encoding and normalization for machine learning
To use categorical data for machine classification, you need to encode the text labels into another form. There are two common encodings.
One is label encoding, which means that each text label value is replaced with a number. The other is one-hot encoding, which means that each text label value is turned into a column with a binary value (1 or 0). Most machine learning frameworks have functions that do the conversion for you. In general, one-hot encoding is preferred, as label encoding can sometimes confuse the machine learning algorithm into thinking that the encoded column is ordered.
To use numeric data for machine regression, you usually need to normalize the data. Otherwise, the numbers with larger ranges may tend to dominate the Euclidian distance between feature vectors, their effects can be magnified at the expense of the other fields, and the steepest descent optimization may have difficulty converging. There are a number of ways to normalize and standardize data for ML, including min-max normalization, mean normalization, standardization, and scaling to unit length. This process is often called feature scaling.
What are machine learning features?
Since I mentioned feature vectors in the previous section, I should explain what they are. First of all, a feature is an individual measurable property or characteristic of a phenomenon being observed. The concept of a "feature" is related to that of an explanatory variable, which is used in statistical techniques such as linear regression. Feature vectors combine all of the features for a single row into a numerical vector.
Part of the art of choosing features is to pick a minimum set of independent variables that explain the problem. If two variables are highly correlated, either they need to be combined into a single feature, or one should be dropped. Sometimes people perform principal component analysis to convert correlated variables into a set of linearly uncorrelated variables.
Some of the transformations that people use to construct new features or reduce the dimensionality of feature vectors are simple. For example, subtract Year of Birth from Year of Death and you construct Age at Death, which is a prime independent variable for lifetime and mortality analysis. In other cases, feature construction may not be so obvious.
Common machine learning algorithms
There are dozens of machine learning algorithms, ranging in complexity from linear regression and logistic regression to deep neural networks and ensembles (combinations of other models). However, some of the most common algorithms include:
Linear regression, aka least squares regression (for numeric data)
Logistic regression (for binary classification)
Linear discriminant analysis (for multi-category classification)
Decision trees (for both classification and regression)
Naïve Bayes (for both classification and regression)
K-Nearest Neighbors, aka KNN (for both classification and regression)
Learning Vector Quantization, aka LVQ (for both classification and regression)
Support Vector Machines, aka SVM (for binary classification)
Random Forests, a type of "bagging" ensemble algorithm (for both classification and regression)
Boosting methods, including AdaBoost and XGBoost, are ensemble algorithms that create a series of models where each new model tries to correct errors from the previous model (for both classification and regression)
Where are the neural networks and deep neural networks that we hear so much about? They tend to be compute-intensive to the point of needing GPUs or other specialized hardware, so you should use them only for specialized problems, such as image classification and speech recognition, that aren't well-suited to simpler algorithms. Note that "deep" means that there are many hidden layers in the neural network.
For more on neural networks and deep learning, see "What deep learning really means."
Hyperparameters for machine learning algorithms
Machine learning algorithms train on data to find the best set of weights for each independent variable that affects the predicted value or class. The algorithms themselves have variables, called hyperparameters. They're called hyperparameters, as opposed to parameters, because they control the operation of the algorithm rather than the weights being determined.
The most important hyperparameter is often the learning rate, which determines the step size used when finding the next set of weights to try when optimizing. If the learning rate is too high, the gradient descent may quickly converge on a plateau or suboptimal point. If the learning rate is too low, the gradient descent may stall and never completely converge.
Many other common hyperparameters depend on the algorithms used. Most algorithms have stopping parameters, such as the maximum number of epochs, or the maximum time to run, or the minimum improvement from epoch to epoch. Specific algorithms have hyperparameters that control the shape of their search. For example, a Random Forest Classifier has hyperparameters for minimum samples per leaf, max depth, minimum samples at a split, minimum weight fraction for a leaf, and about 8 more.
Several production machine-learning platforms now offer automatic hyperparameter tuning. Essentially, you tell the system what hyperparameters you want to vary, and possibly what metric you want to optimize, and the system sweeps those hyperparameters across as many runs as you allow. (Google Cloud hyperparameter tuning extracts the appropriate metric from the TensorFlow model, so you don't have to specify it.)
There are three search algorithms for sweeping hyperparameters: Bayesian optimization, grid search, and random search. Bayesian optimization tends to be the most efficient.
You would think that tuning as many hyperparameters as possible would give you the best answer. However, unless you are running on your own personal hardware, that could be very expensive. There are diminishing returns, in any case. With experience, you'll discover which hyperparameters matter the most for your data and choice of algorithms.
Speaking of choosing algorithms, there is only one way to know which algorithm or ensemble of algorithms will give you the best model for your data, and that's to try them all. If you also try all the possible normalizations and choices of features, you're facing a combinatorial explosion.
Trying everything is impractical to do manually, so of course machine learning tool providers have put a lot of effort into releasing AutoML systems. The best ones combine feature engineering with sweeps over algorithms and normalizations. Hyperparameter tuning of the best model or models is often left for later. Feature engineering is a hard problem to automate, however, and not all AutoML systems handle it.
In summary, machine learning algorithms are just one piece of the machine learning puzzle. In addition to algorithm selection (manual or automatic), you'll need to deal with optimizers, data cleaning, feature selection, feature normalization, and (optionally) hyperparameter tuning.
When you've handled all of that and built a model that works for your data, it will be time to deploy the model, and then update it as conditions change. Managing machine learning models in production is, however, a whole other can of worms.

View of Back of Gainsborough's House.
Sudbury is a somewhat unassuming market town, not quite on the tourist trail yet to those who have successfully 'discovered' it, a place of great charm, historic interest and picturesque beauty. It is encircled by the River Stour and open water meadows and common lands, where cattle graze and come to the water to drink – reminiscent, in fact, of a Gainsborough landscape painting.
In the centre of Sudbury, at 46 Gainsborough Street, is a Museum that has been described as 'one of Suffolk's best kept secrets'. For like the town itself, Gainsborough's House is not grand or imposing but is a modest, attractive town house, tucked away amidst shops, restaurants, houses and offices.
Façade of Gainsborough's House.
Gainsborough's House is the birthplace of Thomas Gainsborough (1727–1788), one of the greatest painters in the history of British art. It is the only Museum in Britain devoted to a single artist that occupies the place where they were born. More of Gainsborough's paintings, drawings and prints are on display at any one time than anywhere else in the world. For while the National Gallery, the Tate or British Museum may have larger collections in terms of numbers of works by the artist, only a small proportion, if any, will be on public display.
The outstanding collection of Gainsborough's work in Sudbury encompasses the artist's whole career though, understandably, the Museum has particularly good examples of his early portraits or landscapes painted in Suffolk in the 1750s, while he was living in Sudbury and later in Ipswich until 1758. Amongst these is the recently acquired portrait of John Vere (c.1753), a member of the local landed gentry, whose open and direct gaze is similar to that of another early patron and local landowner, Robert Andrews, from Bulmer. The portrait of Mr and Mrs Andrews (c.1750) in the National Gallery is regarded as Gainsborough's early masterpiece and an iconic work of the period. The permanent collection is augmented by several loans of paintings by Gainsborough or his contemporaries, from public and private collections. The Pitminster Boy, on long loan from a private collection, was probably one of the paintings that Gainsborough exhibited at the very first Royal Academy exhibition in London in 1769.
Gainsborough was also a superb draughtsman and produced hundreds or drawings throughout his life, using a wide range of different techniques. The Museum has an unrivalled collection of drawings. They are shown in regular exhibitions and, when not on display, are housed in a new Study Gallery, alongside prints, rare books and Gainsborough ephemera. Here, visitors can view a selection of works on paper and can have access to all works in the collection by appointment.

Artists close to Gainsborough are also represented in the main galleries, such as his nephew and studio assistant Gainsborough Dupont (1754-1797), and those who were teachers or followers. A fascinating collection of Gainsborough memorabilia is displayed in the Entrance Hall, and includes the artist's studio cabinet, his swordstick, paint scraper and pocket-watch.
The collection at Gainsborough's House is particularly remarkable in that it has been acquired in a relatively short period, and with very limited funds. 2008 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of Gainsborough's House Society as an independent charity with educational aims, which in 1958 bought the house in order to open it as a Museum and monument to Gainsborough. The Museum opened to the public in 1961. An exhibition, Gainsborough's House: A Golden Celebration, runs from 29 March – 7 June. It explores the history of the House, from its life as a hotel and tea-room prior to its sale, the successful public appeal to buy it, the completion of the major restoration project in 2006, to the present. The story is told with photographs, paintings, drawings and archival material. The display also includes new works by artists specially invited to respond to this important historic building.

The exhibition programme at Gainsborough's House is central to the Museum's activities and it is one of the few venues in the region where people can see high quality exhibitions of both historic British art and contemporary art. Other exhibitions in 2008, for example, are of John Bellany, RA, one of the best-known and influential Scottish artists working today, followed in October by From Sickert to Gertler: Modern British Art from Boxted House, which has been organised by the National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh. This exhibition is a selection of works from the collection of Bobby Bevan, son of the Camden Town artist Robert Bevan, and his wife Natalie. It will include works by John Nash, Cedric Morris, Mark Gertler and Camden Town artists, such as Bevan, Walter Sickert and Spencer Gore.
Prints and printmaking are important and highly relevant themes for exhibitions at Gainsborough's House as the Museum is unique in having its own Print Workshop neighbouring the House and opening out on to the beautiful garden with its ancient mulberry tree. Established by printmakers in 1978, the Print Workshop is a professional studio that is recognised as one of the best facilities of its kind in the country. A programme of classes, intensive summer courses and workshops for community and educational groups runs throughout the year and artists can join the Print Workshop as Members.

The Museum has also recently established a lively Education and Outreach programme, aimed at both adults and children. The adjacent cottages on Weavers Lane were converted to enhance the Museum in 2003-4 by providing a new Entrance for visitors and an Education Centre upstairs, which has proved ideal for both lectures and classes as well as for social events. The Education Officer organises a wide variety of workshops and guided tours for schools, community groups and parties of visitors from the region and beyond. During school holidays, various events are run for children and families and there are also regular classes on offer, such as Artsmart, a Saturday morning art class for children, and a monthly Life Drawing session for adults. Art history lectures and gallery talks are programmed throughout the year, often to coincide with the current exhibition. The 14 Education Officer also runs Outreach sessions to schools, local art societies and other community groups to give talks on Gainsborough or other topics on request.

The new Education programme was established alongside the recent major project to completely renovate the House and garden. The project, supported by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and with donations from numerous other trusts, foundations and individual donors, began in 2005 and was successfully completed in 2007. The building renovation included some major structural improvements, the installation of a lift, new lighting and heating systems, complete redecoration of the House and the creation of a new Study Gallery and Entrance. The improvements have greatly enhanced the appearance of the House and its access for visitors but were also essential for the long-term security of the building and its collection. The installation of fire insulation, improved environmental controls and excellent storage facilities mean that the Museum is better able to care for its precious collection and provide the necessary modern conditions for loans.

With only a small staff team, Gainsborough's House is supported by numerous volunteers to help as room stewards in the House or to assist in the Coffee Shop or garden. As an independent charity, the organisation relies for its income on donations, grants, admissions and revenue from its Gift Shop and Coffee Shop. Museum funds are also raised by the Friends of Gainsborough's House and its Patrons organisation. These groups of supporters benefit from lively programmes of trips, talks and other social events. Gainsborough's House is always keen to recruit new Members and anyone interested in becoming a Volunteer, Friend or Patron, should contact Gainsborough's House for further details.
While Gainsborough's House is proud of the many favourable comments it receives from visitors, the Museum would prefer not to be 'one of Suffolk's best kept secrets', as we are often referred to, but rather one of the region's best-known Museums. With its wonderful collection of works by Thomas Gainsborough in the beautifully – renovated building and with its busy programme of exhibitions and education activities, we look forward to welcoming an increasing number of visitors from the region and beyond. Perhaps they could enhance a visit to the Museum with a walk by the River Stour to see the cattle grazing by the water and witness a Gainsborough tableau viivant in the heart of Sudbury.

Today was our second movie of the LA Conservancy's 'Last Remaining Seats' series, showing movies in LA's now-closed old movie palaces. Tonight was Cabaret, one of my friend Alan's favorite movies. He had taken the day off for it, so I tried to come up with some thematic stuff to do leading up to the movie (with some help from my friend Myron). Cabaret is based on the play 'I am a Camera', which is based on the semi-autobiographical stories by Christopher Isherwood collected in 'Goodbye to Berlin'. So, stretching that a bit to justify some activities for the day, Alan, our friend Jon and I started with a Bacardi rum drink near Ginger Rogers Beach, where Isherwood met his life partner Don Bachardy. We attempted to refer to ourselves in the third person and only using last names, like Isherwood did in one of his books, but we didn't prove to be too successful in sticking to that. We then headed downtown to take in the Richard Neutra exhibit at the downtown library. There's no true connection between Isherwood and Neutra (that I know of), but Neutra was from Vienna and did work in Berlin at around the same time that Isherwood was there, before both moved to Los Angeles. The exhibit - and the library building itself, by the way - are both amazing. It may be my new favorite downtown spot. From there, we stopped into the Bradbury Building. Isherwood wrote a review of Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles that is said to have boosted Bradbury's career and led to a friendship between the two. The Bradbury Building, best known from Blade Runner, has no relation to Ray Bradbury, but that didn't stop us from justifying it as part of our day. After that, Alan's friend Dino joined us and we trekked on to our next stop, Wurstkuche. As you might have guessed, Wurstkuche features German sausages along with some great German and Belgian beers, and pommes frites. Not much of a stretch for that connection. Then it was on to the main event - the movie. The Los Angeles Theater was really amazing. (Bachardy, by the way, used to go to movies downtown with his mother as a kid. It's likely that they might have gone to the Los Angeles.) I've been in a few old movie palaces, but this was unlike anything I'd ever seen - outrageously over the top gaudy and elaborate, and the perfect setting for Cabaret. The movie hit nerves in many realms, but I'm really glad to have seen it in that environment and on the big screen. It was a fun day, but truly a day of sensory overload - in every good way.

Highlighting Black Innovators
DALLAS -- AT&T* aims to inspire, motivate and challenge consumers to rethink what they can achieve in their lives through its AT&T 28 Days Black History Month campaign this February. The AT&T 28 Days program returns for a third year with a focus on celebrating past history makers and a look at new innovators through a free exclusive speaker series. AT&T created 28 Days in 2009 to highlight February as more than a reflection of the past, but as an unimaginable footprint to what the future holds beyond Black History Month.
"This year, AT&T wants consumers to look at today's history makers and innovators, who are changing the world we live in and truly speak to the core of 'Rethink Possible'," said Jennifer Jones, vice president of Diverse Markets, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "We are committed to pushing the limits of what's achievable everyday through innovation and investments in programs that educate and empower our diverse consumers."
Award winning hip-hop artist, actor and activist Common will serve as the exclusive host and moderator for the 2011 AT&T 28 Days speaker series, which will showcase five individuals who are making their own page in African American history in the fields of technology, media, fashion, politics, and business. Stops on the five-city AT&T 28 Days speaker series tour include:Atlanta on Monday, Feb. 7; Chicago on Thursday, Feb. 17; Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, Feb. 22; Harlem on Feb. 24; and Oakland on Monday, Feb. 28.
At each speaking event, participants will be inspired to make history and innovations in their own lives and two lucky winners will be randomly selected to receive new AT&T smartphones.
"The talent AT&T selected for the speaker series are great examples of today's trendsetters who are making history everyday in their communities," said Jones. "Each speaker offers a unique perspective and will inspire anyone who attends these events."
The AT&T 28 Days campaign is just one of the ways AT&T supports education, business and technology within the African American community. AT&T's sponsorship of the 32nd annual UNCF An Evening of Stars® Tribute to Chaka Khan reflects a 25-year collaborative partnership with UNCF celebrating music industry legends and empowering people to pursue higher education. Now consumers can share in the celebration with unique access to exclusive behind the scenes show footage at www.att.net/uncf, on AT&T Mobile Video, and on AT&T U-verse Video on Demand. UNCF An Evening of Stars® Tribute to Chaka Khan aired nationally on BET and WGN and on many local stations across the country in January. UNCF An Evening of Stars®kicked off the multitude of broadcasting programs AT&T is supporting this Black History Month that highlight past history makers and future innovators, such as the Dr. Maya Angelou, My Soul Looks Back exclusive interview series on National Public Radio and TV One's One Solution Vignettes.

The theory of White's Technique differs radically from the conventional view that the voice is produced by the vocal cords (more correctly known as vocal folds).
After years of extensive research E.G. White came to the revolutionary conclusion that the voice is basically produced in the head, and stressed the vital role played by the head sinuses. There is interesting supporting evidence for White's theory, both academic and scientific. In the end, though, it is the highly successful practical results produced by using his Technique that are of greatest importance.
