TBAs and CBS attend annual general meeting
Tepa, (Ash), Jan 9, GNA - About 450 members of Community-Based Surveillance (CBS) groups and Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) at Tepa in the Ahafo-Ano North district of Ashanti, have attended a meeting to assess their performance for 2004.
The meeting, which was organised by the district directorate of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), was also used to reward about 60 TBAs and CBS for their immense contribution to health care delivery in the communities.
They were presented with cooking utensils and Wellington boots. Speaking at the meeting, Mr Akwasi Adu Poku, the Ahafo-Ano North District Chief Executive, commended the volunteers and the traditional birth attendants for their commitment to helping the people in the rural communities in their health needs.
In a speech read on his behalf, he said the work of the two groups was in line with government's policy of bringing health delivery to the doorstep of the people.
The DCE said the district assembly would therefore continue to support the GHS in the areas of National Immunisation Programme, the malaria awareness programme and the Buruli Ulcer outreach education programme.
Mr Adu-Poku appealed to the public to embrace the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) by paying their premium for them to receive affordable quality health care.
Mrs Elizabeth Adentwi, the District Director of Health Services, asked the TBAs and CBS to always refer cases beyond their control to the nearest hospital before it were too late.
Nana Adu Bobie, the District Disease Control Officer, asked the CBS to report any boil they would find on the body of people to the hospital for immediate treatment to reduce the high rate of Buruli Ulcer cases in the district.

Linn Records continues its successful partnership with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra with this, the sixth release in the series. This delightful all-Prokofiev programme adds another dimension to the indispensable SCO series.
SCO Principal Conductor Joseph Swensen is the soloist in both Violin Concerto No. 2 and the 5 melodies. The melodies have been orchestrated by Swensen himself.
Joseph Swensen writes: "The Five Melodies had been among my favourite works by Prokofiev for many years before I chose to orchestrate them. The original accompaniment is among the most colourful of the composer's works for the piano and it was precisely the element of colour which intrigued me most in my orchestration. Limiting myself to strings, and to only the notes of Prokofiev's original piano part, my intention was that this version be but a subtle evolution of Prokofiev's original. Use of harmonics, pizzicato, and blurring effects are inspired by what a truly great pianist may attempt on his instrument, but only allude to. The obvious influence of Debussy in Prokofiev's original has resulted in an orchestral sound which seems equally indebted to the great French composer."

Q: Why does the strange value come out with an unnecessary % conversion in the code in C language? I started learning programming only few days ago, so basically I have no knowledge.
I'm starting with C, and I wrote a very simple code which is:
int main (int argc, const char * argv[])

{

    printf("%d + %d", 1 + 3);
    return 0;
}

with the code above, I got the value of 4 + 1606416608 and later found that the return value is wrong because I put more %d than necessary. Then my question is, how did that strange value actually come out? If anyone knows, please help me. Thank you!!

A: You know what you did wrong already, so to explain what your particular implementation of C probably did:
When you call printf, a new stack frame is pushed to the call stack. The call stack is a last in first out structure with one 'frame' per called function. So if main called logStuff which called printf then three consecutive frames would be for main, then logStuff, then printf. When printf returns, it's frame is removed from the structure and execution continues with logStuff.
So a frame usually contains at least the parameters passed to the function and storage for local variables. Those things may be one and the same, it's implementation dependant.
With a variadic function like printf there's a stream of unnamed parameters. The bit patterns will be put into an appropriate place in the frame. But C is not a reflective language. Each bit patten doesn't inherently have a meaning: any one could be an integer, a float, or anything else. It also isn't a language that invests in bounds checking. You're trusted to write code that acts correctly.
printf determines the types and number of unnamed parameters from the string. So if you've given it false information, it will interpret the bit patterns with something other than their correct meaning and it may think there are fewer or more than are really there.
You told it there were more. So what probably happened was that the parameters were in the equivalent of an array and it read a value from beyond the end of the array. As it's all implementation dependent, that value may have been meant to represent anything. It could be the address of the caller. It could be uninitialised storage for another local variable. It could be bookkeeping. It could be the format string, incorrectly interpreted as an integer.
What it isn't is any reliable value. It may not even always be safe to read.

A: You are in undefined behavior land... you are telling a variadic function that you have 2 int sized params, then you only supply one, you are leaking something from the stack.

A: 1) %d is a format specifier, it tells the compiler how you want to access the value stored at a particular location.(here as an integer)
2) For every format specifier you need to provide a corresponding variable or a value, otherwise at runtime you will get "garbage" i.e. some random value.
Example :
int main()
{
int a = 65;
printf("\na = %d", a); // here the value stored in a is accessed as an integer.
printf("\na = %c", a); // the value inside a is accessed as a character.
return 0;
}

In the above example '%d' in the first printf statement tells the compiler that the value stored in the variable a is to be accessed as an integer. (o/p - 65)
In the second printf statement '%c' is used to access the same variable as a character.(o/p - A)

A: Your code expects two numerical parameters to be printed, and you're giving it one.
Expected:
printf("%d + %d", <some_num>, <another_num>);

You're giving it:
printf("%d + %d", <some_num>);

Where <some_num> is what 1+3 evaluates to. The function expects another argument, but receives garbage instead.
What you should do is
printf("%d + %d = %d", 1, 3, 1+3);

On most auspicious an occasion like Mother's Day today, my hearty good wishes to all throughout the world which we are living in. In fact it is too meagre an expression to call only a particular Day as Mother's Day as Mother is the one phenomenon who has all the days in a year to her command and that way each day has to be dedicated to her. She is a love incarnate and the one keeping the whole world going on epochs after epochs and eras after eras. But for her the whole world might not have been there the way it is in existence today. One may not necessarily have a son, a daughter, a sister, a brother, a wife, a husband or any type of a relation on this earth, but there is none without a mother. I lost my mother, my mother divine, 23 years back but there is hardly any day still I pass without remembering her and my mental faculties are never prepared to miss her in my thoughts. Certain cruel instances of sons and daughters ignoring their Mother are there every now and then but they are the ones who very much deserve the similar type of ill treatment as from their progenies when they themselves grow older. One may believe in God or may not but none is supposed to have an audacity of not believing or ignoring a mother. A mother is supreme, a mother is divine, and all of us owe her our life.
I touch the feet of all mothers from the core of my heart not only on the mother's day but every day of my life . Sir, it is very correct that there is none without a mother either human being or all mighty God. Sir, I have read that once in Shantiniketen a Kabi gosthi was organized to write a poem on the Gurudeo . A student named Tenli from China wrote that Gurudeo Rabindra Nath Taggor was a mother of us . And sir, his poem had been declared best..
I touch the feet of all mother of the world from the core of my heart not only on mother's day but every day of my life .As you said that there is none without a mother either human being or All mighty God. Sir I have read that once in Shantiniketan a Kabi Gosthi had been organized on the subject of Kabiver Ravindra Nath Tagore . A student named Tenli from China wrote that Gurudeo was a mother of us. And his poem had been declared best.
The instance so quoted by you is a memorable one. Otherwise too Tagore had a heart as tender as that of a mother and Tenli of China, as quoted by you, was quite correct in describing him as such. I too have to take care of my youngest daughter Pariksha as a mother only after she lost her mother a decade back. I have to look after her both as a father and equally as a mother so that she is able to minimise the pain of missing her mother. One has to live his life like it is so destined. My thanks with affection.
I agree with your point of view, Neelkanth. Every day, should and is Mother's Day. To make such a big deal out of one day of the year, gives an excuse to those who otherwise neglect this point.
It seems that here in Canada, it is industry that pushes the day? With greeting cards, flowers and chocolate industry in fore front. They really do not care whether Mothers are honoured or not? As long as they can make money from guilt associated with those. Who feel they need to make a special effort to impress. Like other days of the year, the unscrupulous choose days to "honour" all walks of life. When the reality is; treat each other with respect and to do unto others as you would have done unto you.
Possibly you are not receiving the regular posts on the revived blog Avenues (not Avenues2). I am getting the benefit of your reply to this post as it was sent to you separately. If you don't mind, please 'follow' it afresh. My thanks with regards.
Very nice article indeed.They are unfortunate too much who are not careful for mother.
Previous I just liked it, I don't know why?

Airbnb is renting the wedding venue of Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas
In case you missed it, Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner married Joe Jonas over the weekend, celebrating their gorgeous second wedding ceremony at Chateau de Torreau.
The pair got married the first time in a low-key setting in Las Vegas earlier this year, with Diplo adding the wedding to his Instagram Live.
The chateau dates back to the 17th century and survived the French Revolution, and miraculously is available to rent on Airbnb.
A post shared by Sophie Turner (@sophiet) on Jun 22, 2019 at 11:46am PDT
What does this mean? We can get a sneaky inside look of the stunning castle and it's surrounding environment, that's what it means.
The beautiful property is set on 20 acres of grounds and features a swimming pool, vegetable farm, tennis courts and water fountains.
Turner was spotted nearby last week sporting Dior's 'We should all be feminists' t-shirt and an all-white ensemble. Herself and Joe look fairly loved up on their trip to France, but we're not jealous at all. Not even a tiny bit. Honestly.
A post shared by @chateaudetourreau on Jan 30, 2018 at 12:37am PST
The chateau is a cool €4,200 per night for just one guest, so if you're bringing a gang of friends you may need to take out a loan…
The property on Airbnb is described lavishly;
"Château de Tourreau is one of the most exquisite private estates in Provence." Well, that much is clear.
A post shared by @chateaudetourreau on Feb 7, 2018 at 4:52am PST
"Within easy reach of the Provençal "gold triangle" (Avignon, St Rémy and Aix-en-Provence) beautifully restored to reflect the 18th century, this majestic estate has a sophisticated refinement, enhanced by provencal furnitures."
"Once the gates have closed, you find yourselves in a world of your own, a world of legend and history, as if you were in an ancient royal palace of which you were the new privileged king."
Oh damn, we want that privileged queen lifestyle.
A post shared by @chateaudetourreau on Mar 26, 2018 at 3:01am PDT
A-listers were invited to the celebrity wedding, of course, such as the groom's brothers and their wives. Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra, Kevin and Danielle Jonas and fellow GOT stars.
Priyanka stunned in a pink Sabyasachi saree, posing up a storm on Instagram.
It was rumoured for months that #Jophie were planning a second wedding in France, and the couple confirmed their Parisian trip with a snap of them outside the Eiffel Tower.
A post shared by @chateaudetourreau on May 25, 2019 at 12:24pm PDT
The happy couple announced their engagement in October 2017, after dating since November of 2016. They were first spotted together at the MTV VMAs when Joe had his arm around her.
Anyone else putting in a rental bid for this chateau? We'll bring our air mattress if it makes the price cheaper…It's currently available to house 15 guests, and has 11 beds and NINE baths.

Will CMMS Software Continue to be a Solution for Maintenance Managers?
byNick Campanella on November 19, 2018
1 Maintenance Costs
2 CMMS Features
3 CMMS Flexibility and Scalability
4 CMMS Platforms of the Near Future
It's fair to say that maintenance technicians and managers enable all other company operations. Without equipment, building facilities and all other functional assets operating properly, business could not be conducted. So, it makes sense that revolutionary Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software was eagerly welcomed as overdue technology back in the late 1980s.
Modern CMMS software platforms have since become standard tools for managing efficiency and costs in maintenance operations of all types and sizes and will continue to be important solutions for maintenance managers. Here, we're going to break down why that's the case and how far the software has come along.
To fully appreciate the business imperative of maximizing efficiency of maintenance management, consider that:
Maintenance costs can consume large percentages of a business's operating budget. Typical estimates range from 6% to 15%, but can far exceed this range, depending upon the type of business and assets maintained. One rationale noted in a Plant Services analysis estimates 30% for well-maintained industrial equipment.
Downtime for problems that require maintenance department attention, etc. cost U.S. American companies an average of an alarming $5,600 per minute, per a Gartner, Inc. estimate. This includes down time for building and equipment repairs, inspections, and routine maintenance.
Fortunately, CMMS systems have proven to be transformative technology for the business sector, completely changing the way U.S. American companies manage maintenance processes. Survey data from A.T. Kearney & Industry Week (as referenced in the USDE O&M Best Practices guide) indicate that CMMS implementation can:
Increase productivity of maintenance departments by as more than 28%.
Decrease downtime due to equipment maintenance over 20%.
Reduce maintenance materials costs by more than 19%.
These sharp increases in maintenance department performance are across-the-board, from routine inspections of IT hardware, plumbing, and electrical systems, to typical business building repairs.
CMMS platforms automate many functions and optimize the process from end to end. Today's maintenance departments no longer rely on cumbersome, generally inefficient transfers of paper work orders and scheduling tools. CMMS digital transfer and tracking features make task scheduling and timely follow through on pending materials orders and team service commitments much easier to control.
CMMS Features
Important advanced CMMS software features for facilitating the work of maintenance departments include the following, among many others:
Intuitive interactive dashboards
Cloud-based software (easier and more cost-efficient)
External customer communications and workflow tracking portals
Advanced reporting and budgeting tools
CMMS Flexibility and Scalability
Originally, CMMS programs were single applications to facilitate maintenance work that was specific to a given department or type of maintenance. The software was limited to use by manual input of information and to access on premises only. By contrast, today's systems cover all forms of a company's maintenance needs across all departments, and they feature remote access from mobile devices.
Modern CMMS platforms are also designed for scalability, to fit the growing needs of businesses. Today's smallest and largest businesses can equally manage company-wide maintenance scheduling, communications, materials order tracking, process tracking, reporting, and analytics conveniently and efficiently.
CMMS Platforms of the Near Future
Like much other modern business technology, CMMS solutions are constantly evolving. New generations of CMMS platforms, applications and features will continue to make the resource indispensable for optimal efficiency of modern maintenance operations. Looking at Deloitte's 2017 report on trends in CMMS technology advancements helps in understanding what to expect it to mean for maintenance department efficiency, quality, safety, and budget management going forward into 2019 and beyond.
Broader Task Management Range
Current CMMS software has outgrown its original conception of maintenance management for niche needs, to now optimize preventive maintenance, automate a multitude of step-saving functions, and generate reporting arrays that provide cost-saving insights into scheduling and other areas of needed streamlining. As the demand for IIoT and cloud-hosted business platforms continues to grow, users can expect new, more powerful versions of CMMS tools to provide full visibility of assets enterprise-wide, using only nominal on-premises IT resources.
Predictive Facilitating Preventive Maintenance
CMMS technology has moved from once reactive maintenance solutions to preventive processes. This advancement saves businesses as much as 18% in maintenance costs, as problems are now more frequently resolved earlier in their development. Predictive maintenance is now understood as the key function of CMMS systems. Enhanced machine learning (ML) is now developing increasingly powerful predictive capabilities that save much time formerly spent figuring out how preventive maintenance tasks should be prioritized. This advancement is especially important for large companies that must monitor vast numbers of assets.
Increased CMMS Mobility
For all of the force of its positive transformative impact on commercial business and industrial processes, information technology has come with the counter-effect of speeding up the pace of activities so much that it often makes it more difficult for product and services providers to meet customers' expectations of rapid delivery. In growing companies, monitoring equipment and other productive assets becomes more difficult as well, especially across various locations. To meet these increasing challenges, mobile-interfaced systems now allow a CMMS to cut data entry costs, simplify process tracking and departmental reporting, and further optimize scheduling.
Increased Cloud-Based Options
A majority of businesses have now come to prefer cloud alternatives to on-premises systems, due to the greater flexibility and control of responsibilities permitted by unlimited remote access through various devices. The convenience of eliminating time-consuming, disruptive installations, and the assurance of 24/7 monitoring to maintain optimum functioning are very attractive benefits for businesses. Not surprisingly, the cloud services market is anticipated to grow by 29% globally from 2015 to 2022. As part of that trend, cloud-based CMMS users can expect to see this particular form of SaaS expand in vendor options.
Data-Driven CMMS
CMMS software developers are increasingly using enterprise-class artificial intelligence (AI) and ML to develop algorithms that can inform maintenance management. This advancement in the approach to CMMS design can be expected to lead to new understanding of the most advantageous prioritization of maintenance tasks and projects. Users can expect increased opportunities to use AI for access to intuitive real-time tools for queries, featuring powerful broad-range data gathering, sorting and filtering. The next generations of CMMS will simplify and streamline preparatory work and information delivery for auditors, certification processors, operations analysts.
Use of the IIoT, the Industrial Internet of Things, is increasing, due to the improvements it makes possible in areas of supply chain tracking, quality control, compliance management, consumer behavior, and so many others. IBM has provided a compelling estimate of the amount of wasted maintenance resulting from non-predictive maintenance practices, which their contributor puts at a shocking 50%. The Kearney survey reportedly indicates that nearly a third of CMMS users believe that the IIoT can improve their maintenance management in a variety of ways that can facilitate increases in revenues and customer satisfaction levels, and decreases in operational downtime.
With VR technology, maintenance teams can create 3D models of facilities that they can interact with. Immersion in VR models (using VR headsets) can be very useful for maintenance project planning, major facility upgrades and repairs, and training. VR allows workers to go inside of the virtual facility, without risk from the hazards in the actual environment, as they gain familiarity with it. Augmented reality (AR) can also allow improved monitoring and service of, for example, pipes and electrical conduits hidden behind walls, etc., and help in relaying information needed for assessing problems remotely.
Future use of utility drones for image capturing promises to supplement the preventive and predictive maintenance capabilities of features in next-generation CMMS software. The opportunities in savings of employee hours for inspections of buildings and other assets across numerous locations are vast and unprecedented. The safety advancement allows maintenance staff to reduce the need for climbing ladders to do roof or HVAC inspections, etc.. Additionally drones can serve to improve the CMMS user experience and overall employee experience for maintenance managers and technicians.
Tech innovations are changing the nature of maintenance management as well as that of many other operational roles across modern organizations in business and virtually every other economic sector. CMMS software vendors, like most other digital technology providers, are continuously working to turn out new, more comprehensive, efficient, user-friendly, cost-effective, secure and customizable versions of their products. These SaaS trends can be expected to continue in CMMS software development, yielding increasingly inclusive, flexible, intuitive and reliable and platforms.
Of course, it's important to keep in mind that CMMS platforms, however evolved they become over the next years, and however great the number of benefits they promise to deliver—like any business technology, yield benefits only to the extent that they are appropriately implemented using best practices.
Further, remember that due diligence is necessary in CMMS software selection, as with any other technology. Compare various solutions recommended for your business type, size, and budget and unique needs, in order to realize all of the operational and budget benefits of your CMMS platform.

Kazakovo ou Bolchaïa Chalga est un village du raïon de Kargopol, oblast d'Arkhangelsk. Il fait partie du territoire municipal de peuplement de Pavlovskoa à l'est de la ville de Kargopol. Une église en bois de la Nativité-du-Christ est située dans ce village.

Population
La population du village s'élevait à 391 habitants selon les données du recensement de 2010 en Russie.

Curiosités
Le nom du village est selon le lexicographe Vladimir Dahl (1801-1872) Chalga ou Bolchaïa Chalga qui signifie grande forêt et aussi bûcheron. Il est connu pour son église en bois à chatior de la Nativité-du-Christ (1745). Bien que la forêt n'existe plus vraiment, l'église est éloignée de la route et est peu visible. À côté de cette église en bois qui est en cours de restauration se trouve une église en pierre de style classique à grande coupole qui est ouverte au culte orthodoxe, mais n'a pas de caractéristiques remarquables.

Q: Citation problem using biblatex I changed from natbib to biblatex. Now I have a strange problem concerning my citations:
if i do
\cite[][3.4.5]{bar} it will render to something like

[BAR90, p. 3.4.5]

As I use the section number and not the page number for referencing my citation, I don't want biblatex to render my citation to "p."
What I want is
\cite[][3.4.5]{bar} ->

[BAR90, 3.4.5]

So I want the text in the square brackets printed directly.
Any suggestions?

Taylor Blake/Martin Prosperity Institute
Mapping How America's Metro Areas Voted
The geography of the 2016 election is spiky.
In a recent piece for CityLab, I charted the broad patterns of the 2016 presidential election results across America's metro areas. Hillary Clinton won the largest metros, but Donald Trump carried more of them, as well as rural and micropolitan places. Overall, the 2016 election served to harden and solidify America's enduring fault lines of class and geography, knowledge, and density.
I wanted to take a closer look at the metros that went for Trump versus Clinton. As I noted previously, election returns are not typically collated by metro area, but county-level results are available. My Martin Prosperity Institute (MPI) colleagues arrayed the county-level data to the country's 350-plus metros using data from two sources. Our main source was Dave Leip's county-level election results. Where data was missing, we used data from Simon Rogers, data editor at Google News Lab. (Again, I note that while there are still some vote tallies yet to be certified, the overall shares of the vote at the metro level are unlikely to change much at this point).
The map below by MPI's Taylor Blake charts the metro area vote. Clinton votes are in blue, Trump votes are in red, and the height of the bars indicates the percent of the national vote cast in metros.
(Taylor Blake)
Look at the large blue columns for Clinton across the Boston-New York-Washington Corridor; in Miami, in Northern and Southern California, and in Chicago. While there is more red on the map, there is nothing nearly so tall for Trump.
Large Metros with the Biggest Vote Share for Clinton
Clinton Vote Share
San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA
Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL
Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH
Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA
Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA
The table above shows the top 10 large metros that went for Clinton. Clinton took whopping shares of the vote in the Bay Area high-tech hubs of San Francisco (76.7 percent) and San Jose (72.9 percent). And she carried more than two-thirds of the vote in Los Angeles. She also did very well in the densely populated metros of the Bos-Wash Corridor, taking more than two-thirds of the vote in Washington, D.C., and more than 60 percent in Boston, New York and Philadelphia. She carried more than 60 percent of the vote in Chicago, Miami, and Seattle as well.
Clinton won by more than 55 percent of the vote in Portland, Oregon (57.5 percent), Hartford (56.6 percent), San Diego (56.6 percent), Austin (56.5 percent), Baltimore (55.8 percent), and Cleveland (55.6 percent); roughly 54 percent in Memphis; 53.5 percent in Denver and Orlando; 53 percent in Providence, Sacramento, and Detroit; 52.5 percent in Las Vegas; 52 percent in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Richmond, and Atlanta; and 51 percent in Virginia Beach and Riverside.
Clinton also carried large shares of the vote in smaller college towns such as Santa Cruz, California (73.4 percent); Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina (70.5 percent); Boulder, Colorado (70.3 percent); Ann Arbor, Michigan (67.4 percent); Ithaca, New York (66.7 percent); Madison, Wisconsin (66.7 percent); Lawrence, Kansas (62.4 percent); Burlington, Vermont (60.8 percent); Corvallis, Oregon (59.9 percent); Tallahassee, Florida (57.7 percent); Charlottesville, Virginia (56.6 percent); Gainesville, Florida (55.8 percent); New Haven, Connecticut (54.3 percent); Bloomington, Indiana (54.0 percent); Raleigh, North Carolina (53.4 percent); and Eugene, Oregon (53.4 percent).
Clinton also did well in border metros with large shares of Hispanic residents such as Laredo (74.4 percent), El Paso (69.0 percent), McAllen (68.6 percent), and Brownsville (64.6 percent) in Texas; Las Cruces (53.7 percent) in New Mexico; Tucson (54.3 percent) in Arizona; and El Centro (67.5 percent) in California.
Large Metros with the Biggest Vote Share for Trump
Trump Vote Share
Birmingham-Hoover, AL
Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN
Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin, TN
Grand Rapids-Wyoming, MI
Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson, IN
Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX
Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, NC-SC
The above table shows the top 10 large metros that went for Trump. The largest cities that Trump won in were Sunbelt metro areas and Rustbelt metro areas. In the Sunbelt, he won majorities in Birmingham, Oklahoma City, Jacksonville, Nashville, Dallas, and Charlotte. In the Rustbelt, he won majorities in Cincinnati, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, and Pittsburgh.
Trump also took a plurality of the vote in Louisville (49.8 vs. Clinton's 45.1 percent), Tampa (49.3 vs. 46.3 percent), Phoenix (48.6 vs. 44.5 percent), Houston (48.5 vs. 47.5 percent), San Antonio (48.4 vs. 47.2 percent), St. Louis (48.0 vs. 46.9 percent), and Kansas City (48.0 vs. 45.9 percent.)
Trump took huge shares of the vote in smaller Sunbelt metros—especially in the South—such as Morristown (77.3 percent), Tennessee; Amarillo (76.9 percent) and Midland, Texas (75.4 percent); Houma, Louisiana (74.7 percent); Dalton, Georgia (74.4 percent); Joplin, Missouri (74.4 percent); and Decatur, Alabama (73.8 percent).
He also won by substantial margins in smaller Rustbelt metros such as Altoona (71.5 percent), Chambersburg (70.6 percent), and Williamsport, Pennsylvania (69.7 percent); Parkersburg (71.1 percent), Huntington (67.6 percent), Weirton-Steubenville (66.7 percent), and Wheeling (66.6 percent), West Virginia; and Kokomo (64.3 percent), Elkhart (63.8 percent), and Terre Haute, Indiana (61.7 percent).
We know that America's economic geography is spiky, and its political geography clearly is too. While we may think in terms of red and blue states, our real geographic divides are along metro as well as urban-suburban and rural lines. In a future post, I'll take a closer look at which metros swung the most from one party to the other—where the Clinton and Trump campaigns gained or lost the largest shares of the voted compared to Obama and Romney in 2012.

David Byrne's new solo record American Utopia is out now on Todomundo/Nonesuch Records.... his highest charting album ever (entering at No. 1 on the Top Current Album Chart and No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 and …
For two nights, the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Minneapolis was home to a performance of musical utopia, as David Byrne returned for two energetic and jubilant shows, proving this was his house- and everybody was coming to his house.
The evening began with a generous fifty-minute set (that played more like a continuous theater piece) from enigmatic (i.e.- he did not allow any photos) London singer-songwriter Benjamin Clementine, who recently re-located from the UK to France to Topanga Canyon and released his second full-length, I Tell a Fly (Behind Records/Barclay) in late 2017.
The 2015 Mercury Music Prize-winning Clementine is gifted with an unforgettable voice of dynamic range described as a spinto tenor (meaning "pushed" – one who can handle the operatic weight of large musical climaxes) and his opening set was part performance, part performance art, with the multi-instrumentalist sticking to piano, dressed in a straw hat and blue work jumper that matched his guitarist's, as a bald pregnant female mannequin draped in a US flag, stood at center stage with various doll parts strewn around her.
Clementine would wander about, eventually making a boy from the doll parts laid about and as he sang, he often soared, in a somewhat haphazard but often brilliant manner, slicing through the music like how the modern painter Basquiat would approach a canvas. From his recent stay in California, Clementine also told the story of encountering a large snake, and learning the lesson that the good will sometimes imitate the bad, just to feel safe.
The stage was completely cleared and a beaded curtain framed the floor area as David Byrne took his place at a bare table, quizzically holding a brain while singing the opening lines of 'Here' ("here is a region that is seldom used, here is a region that continues living") to begin his hundred-minute headlining set.
As the set progressed, Byrne (in a dapper grey Kenzo suit with three jacket pockets on each side) was joined gradually by his eleven-piece standing band, dressed similarly- half being primarily percussionists and two primarily dancers, the musicians with their instruments strapped to them so they could move untethered in tandem with the songs.
Byrne is in support of his first solo studio album in fourteen years, American Utopia (Todo Mundo/Nonesuch Records) which is the musical component of his larger project, Reasons to Be Cheerful, something that chooses to spread positivity at a time when it's sorely needed.
Talking Heads songs 'I Zimbra' and 'Slippery People' were played early on and back-to-back, the first of eight Heads songs that got even the most lethargic out of their seats and dancing in the aisles and for 'I Should Watch TV' (a collaboration with St. Vincent), Byrne was drawn to an ebbing light from side stage as the players danced around him.
Byrne briefly spoke about his partnership with Head Count, who had a table in the lobby registering people to vote before starting the album's lead single, 'Everybody's Coming to My House', a song (helped on the record by Brian Eno and Sampha) that recalls the joyous best work of his former band, following that perfectly with the Talking Heads classic, 'This Must be the Place', then stumbling and jerking about as only he could, for a signature 'Once in a Lifetime'.
Byrne remains in fine shape and voice, staying active with gesturing movements for most of the set and having no problems re-creating the melodies of songs, some over forty years old. "Everything you hear is being played by these incredible musicians" Byrne reminded us, dispelling any myths of backing tracks or pre-recordings, with Milwaukee guitarist Angie Swan particularly standing out on several songs.
The somberness of the new album's 'Bullet' was quickly juxtaposed by the ever-hopeful 'Every Day is a Miracle', expertly followed by 2001's 'Like Humans Do' and the 1988 Talking Heads song, 'Blind', both recalling the monkey on the cover of the band's final album, Naked. Byrne smiled as he briefly missed the guitar opening for the main set-closing 'Burning Down the House', with the sold-out crowd on their feet and singing along.
For the encore, Byrne dipped back into 2010's 'Here Lies Love', about the Philippines' Imelda Marcos for 'Dancing Together' (its lyrics derived from her direct quotes), then way back to 1980's classic Remain in Light for the 'The Great Curve', as the band moved more frantically about the stage to keep up with the fast rhythms.
"Sadly, it's still relevant today" Byrne said of the highly percussive cover of Janelle Monae's 'Hell You Talmbout' a protest song that would compose the second encore. Its lyrics consisted chiefly of chanted names of black Americans killed by police and vigilantes, with Byrne updating those names (w/Monae's blessing) to include even Philando Castile, shot and killed in July 2015 in nearby Falcon Heights.
Despite the heavy subject matter to end the night, the set did end on a passionate and powerful note and a true artistic statement of the times, that has always helped define Byrne's musical vision and we should expect no less.
At the age of sixty-six, this was a David Byrne still at the height of his powers, presenting a show that played as a musical utopia in a uniquely minimalist yet complex staging that makes this one of the very best shows of the year.

More music blogs: The Same Mistakes
A couple of years ago I wrote an article about other music blogs on the VOX platform. Since VOX is no more, this article will be more general.
When I have written articles here, sometimes I go beyond the press releases, biographies, and other information I am given directly, and explore what is being said elsewhere, including articles at other music blogs. Sometimes this research is about the artist or group, and sometimes it's concerning the genre of music. I found The Same Mistakes, however, just wandering around YouTube. It covers post-punk, new wave, and minimal synth, which is quite to my taste.
Be forewarned: this blog is at Blogger/Blogspot. We don't favor that platform as the look is just awful. If you haven't noticed, I will say look is important to Vu (he favors the Vimeo player over YouTube). I have to give him credit for that because he's made a lot of my articles look much better than I could have ever done alone with some slick HTML coding and careful formatting, which I just can't do. But I have to break ranks and say that I think content is king. There's no doubt that content in a good package is more appealing, just like good frosting compliments a cake or beautiful wrapping makes a gift more exciting. But I doubt anyone wants just wrapping or to eat straight frosting, and if the cake or the gift is already really bad, even the best covers or toppings won't hide that. (The cake analogy will make even more sense in a moment.)
Reading David Byrne's latest release, I have to ask, "What hasn't this man done?" Currently, the co-founder of The Talking Heads is working with Fat Boy Slim, creating a musical collaboration on the life of Imelda Marcos. He recently completed a commission to design artistic bicycle racks for New York City. He also took some time to publish his fifth book, Bicycle Diaries, a passing view on two wheels.
So I came to this blog to an article about David Byrne's involvement with the B-52's, which resulted in the EP Mesopotamia. It explains that most fans didn't receive the recording well, and that should explain why I got my cassette copy in the bargain bin. What really grabbed my attention, however, was the explanation of the sound of that EP. I almost decided to go into musicology when I was a music student, and I really like that sort of analysis about where a certain sort of music comes from and where it's going.
The B-52's are usually described as a party band, but I think "Crash The Driver" (the article's author) is correct in placing their beginnings with the New Wave movement of the late 1970's. Although New Wave is closely associated with punk, this was not the harsh, pounding sound of music labeled as punk (Sex Pistols, Ramones, etc.) It certainly shared the do-it-yourself ethic of its progenitor, but was more characterized by a kitschy, twitchy, danceable pop sound. Consider R.E.M., which came out of Athens, Georgia, as the B-52's did, and note their beginnings in the punk circuit; perhaps you'll see what I mean. But the new decade of the '80s brought another response to punk, simply called "post-punk". Although most media associates the beginning of MTV with New Wave acts, I'd say that these music videos are better identified with post-punk, which was in some ways an antithesis to the harsh, aggro sound of punk. Think Visage, David Bowie, Siouxsie and the Banshees; and devotion to Art Deco and pop and performance art (not to mention Andy Warhol appearing on MTV, as well). More on point, the B-52's hired David Byrne to help them explore a post-punk sound, and Crash suggests it was with the hope that Byrne would bring them the same sort of success Brian Eno had brought to the Talking Heads.
But it was not to be. "It was adventurous, challenging music," Crash writes, "but perhaps more reflective of Byrne's private preoccupations of the time than the interests of the band or its record company." The recording sessions were abandoned, but six of the most fully formed tracks became Mesopotamia to recoup costs. All were remixed eventually to remove Byrne's influence, but some initial copies survived on the Island Records label in the UK and Europe. I grabbed these tracks to listen for myself.
I think Crash put it kindly. I could see why the group was dissatisfied and I certainly did not agree that Byrne's mixes of "Cake" and "Throw That Beat In The Garbage Can" were superior, as the article suggested. Generally, I thought the Byrne versions wandered like jam sessions reminscient of '60s acid rock. I could hear a few seams in the edits, which in Byrne's defense, would probably have been fixed had he been allowed to stay on. But the cartoony sound effects of "Throw That Beat" were just too much. If I were a producer, I think these mixes might have been okay for 12" and other singles releases, where longer dance mixes and edits are usually placed anyways.
Obviously, the B-52's did go on to mainstream success with Nile Rodgers (of Chic) and Don Was (Was Not Was), who produced Cosmic Thing and Good Stuff. And of course, I'll note they are still going strong today. Last Christmas, I picked up an offering on Amazon from Fred Schneider's side group The Superions, which was an amusing song about fruitcake.
Anyways, if you can forgive and overlook the jarring look of Blogger/Blogspot, The Same Mistakes is a fun, thoughtful, and retrospective look at a genre of music close to my heart.

DAVID BYRNE'S BICYCLE DIARIES
Bicyle Diaries
"… as I edit these pages I am aware that I have an urge to see my sometime random wandering as having a plot."
Byrne first took to the bicycle not as an eco-statement or as health kick but as a way to get around his neighborhood in Lower Manhattan. He quickly enjoyed the freedom and decided to bring a folding bike on his many journeys. And through his travels, Byrne muses on why his favorite mode transportation isn't as popular in other parts of world, like Istanbul where biking might imply being poor to Buenas Aires where no one bikes because no one has ever biked before. He also comments how the bicycle lanes are fully integrated in Berlin's transportation grid and cycling in Manila is anything goes.
The best part of this book is Byrne's thoughts and opinions as bicycles through the major cosmopolitan centers of the world, reflecting on land reparation in Palestine, Tibet and South Dakota and comparing Third World Markets to American malls in how uniformly similar they are from suburb to suburb, country to country, "… a kind of self-reflecting architecture."
Byrne also provides unusual facts that don't make it into the usual travelogue. Like did you know the founder of Kodak, George Eastman, committed suicide, leaving a matter-of-fact note, stating, "My work is done. Why wait?' Byrne also writes about a museum in Berlin dedicated to the now-defunct East German secret police, showcasing the absurd (a birdhouse/camera) to the telling (the modest office furnishings of the head of the Stasi).
Like a bike ride, this is a breezy read. Neither bed rocked in a firm notion nor adhering to a solid belief, Byrne's Bicycle Diaries are like the artist, himself, open, refreshing and in motion.

Here are some news from news.weheartmusic.com for this week.
BICYCLE DIARIES

Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime
While fans will know David Byrne from his music from Talking Heads in the 80s and his solo work, people rarely know that Byrne is a huge bicycle enthusiast. Byrne's bicycle is his main mode of transportation around his home in New York and when he's out on his world tour (throughout Sydney, Manila, San Francisco, etc). He kept a diary and Penguin Books is publishing his book, Bicycle Diaries, on sale September 21, 2009.
Fan will take note that Byrne is recording and reading his own book for the audio book version, although from his journal, it did not go too well the first week:
Did my second audiobook reading of the Bicycle Diaries NY chapter today. My first attempt, last week, was marred by maybe a combination of nerves and a wonky lower lip, as the braces had just gone in and were scraping the inside of my mouth. (I smashed a guitar into my bottom teeth about a week before the tour ended.) There's less of that slurring and slushing going on now, and perhaps I am more confident and relaxed as well.
What will make this audio book a treat is that Byrne, always the experimentalist, will be incorporating sound recording he's made from the streets and noise in the book.
Look for Bicycle Diaries in September (preorder information), and you can find out more about Byrne's auctioning of his folding Montague bike for the London Cycling Campaign at Byrne's Journal.
ARTIST MUSIC JOURNALS
soundscreendesign.com
Speaking of books, Soundscreen Designs is releasing the third installment of its ongoing Arist Music Journals series, featuring musician/artist Daniel Higgs, former singer of the post-hardcore Lungfish.
Artist Music Journals are an ongoing, monthly, limited edition small book series. Each month, a visual artist or musician is asked to create a 24-page book of artworks, drawing inspiration from their connection to music. The different ways in which each artist chooses to represent their connection to music is what makes this ongoing series unique, intriguing and diverse.
Each book is limited to 1,000 copies, printed on thick stock, offset, box-scored and saddle stitched, and comes packaged in a 10" jacket. The jackets for each edition will be identical, keeping the collection's overall outward design aesthetic consistent. However, there is a distinct letterpressed sticker wrapping the opening of the jacket for each installment featuring a replication of the artist's signature, the volume, installment number, and edition.
Information on how to purchase the book is located here ($17). Special thanks to AAM for sending this in.

They have a few other shows coming up, including one with Austin's The Calm Blue Sea.

A murder investigation has been launched after a 15-year-old boy was stabbed to death in Ashburton Park, Croydon, south London.
Police officers rushed to the scene shortly after 7pm on Thursday. They gave first aid to the boy before the ambulance service arrived but he was pronounced dead at 7.36 pm.
The victim's family have been informed but formal identification has not yet taken place. A post-mortem examination will be held in due course.
The killing is the 29th teenage homicide in London in 2021, which surpasses the 27 seen in 2017, which had been the highest in recent years. The previous peak was 29 teenage homicides in the capital in 2008.
Met Police Commander Alex Murray said: "I am deeply saddened by every single homicide this year, and greatly concerned by those that have been teenage killings. Each one is a tragedy leaving behind heartbroken families and distressed communities.
"My thoughts are with the victims and all those impacted. They are not statistics, not just numbers, they all have families, and they all should have had their lives ahead of them.
"They and their families have been robbed of something precious and we should all be doing everything we can to stop this," he said.
He added that the police were devoting "huge resources" to preventing homicides and said the Met was not "complacent" about knife crime.
No arrests have been made.
Police have asked anyone with information to call them on 101 quoting reference CAD 5443/30Dec. To remain anonymous, contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

When it comes to organization, you will not meet a young lady more inclined towards it, or better at it. We are talking about someone who used to create a power point presentation for her Christmas list as a child. That is impressive!!! Natalie is the embodiment of what a bright future looks like. Following in the foot steps of her parents and siblings, she will start working towards her Accounting degree when she leaves for college. If she handles school with the same methodical research and attention to detail that she showed when finding her Maui Senior Portrait Photographer, it will be a breeze for her. Natalie, we can't say enough about what a bright and commendable young lady you are. We are so pleased that we had the pleasure of getting to meet you. Thank you for letting Karma Hill Photography be a part of this milestone. We look forward to seeing you back again one day, and will no doubt be impressed again. Best Wishes & Warm Aloha!!!
