More seriously though, can someone explain what Aperture and/or Lightroom can do to make my life better?
multiple versions of each photo.
with a crop here, a blemish-removal there, a lightening of shadows there . . .
With Aperture, I can do that in record time, and export the subset of 50 good ones easily.
an hour now. It just works.
great with a few improvements here and there. I look forward to the new version!
I'm just about to invest in my first proper camera (and proper HD film camera) in the shape of a Lumix GH1. I don't think iPhoto and iMovie are going to be up to scratch! I currently have an ancient copy of Photochop kicking around -- I presume I'll need to upgrade this. So, do I need (want!) Aperture for?
The GH1 is a great camera, but absolutely highlights one of the big problems with Aperture. I was happily using Aperture with a Nikon D50 since Aperture supports Nikon's raw files. However, it does not support Panasonic's most recent raw files - so with a GH1 you either have to shoot in JPEG (yuk), convert raw to JPEG using Silkypix (which is bundled with the camera - and it's very slow) or use LR. I'm using the LR Beta for the next few months and waiting to see whether Apple ever sorts out the Panasonic issue.
Yes, it is plausible to rename Aperature to an X, but I think it is unlikely. Quicktime X is a brandname that where you don't really pay attention to the version number. But applications such as Aperture, FCP or even Adobe products need to be differentiated in their branding from version to version. That makes the X(3) a little bit of a branding headache. But still it is Apple and they've done stranger things before.
As for the release date... in all my years I've rarely seen a book ship alongside the product. I've seen tons of books that followed 3 to 8 months after a products release. In fact Apple products are the worst about this since Apple is so secretive of upcoming products. Adobe is a lot better about helping publishers target closer to the product ship date. As for your assertion that "if anything else, deadlines tend to be pushed back..." That is very true for BOTH software and books. If Aperture gets pushed to spring, then the books will be pushed to summer or fall. I saw a lot of books for Microsoft products get pushed way back due to MS's slips.
Yes, Kasper went a bit rogue on the whole 'X' thing. It is standard Amazon practice to list products as 'X' when the title is under NDA. The date is also likely a placeholder. The exact same scenario played out with the last few versions of Filemaker.
Apple should have been paying a lot more attention to the "pro" apps. I own both Logic Pro 9 and Aperture 2.whatever, and Apple makes me feel like a 2nd class citizen with both of them.
Aperture's long-term bugs and shortcomings - empty, useless histograms; failure to recall window size, position, and organization; failure to initialize plugins correctly in a multi-monitor environment; lift and stamp requiring multiple irrelevant UI steps for "crop" stamping to work; bizarre magnification limits; no way for developers to create inline tiles, only this godforsaken overweight TIFF passing mechanism; no curves (no curves? are they out of their tiny little minds? Curves is as "tilable" as any 768-byte remap function is (levels, contrast, brightness, windowing, gamma and a zillion more, both common and arbitrary); incessant preview (re)(re)(re)processing, consuming all eight cores for NO purpose; incomplete camera support (like SRAW... Adobe's got it handled, so what is Apple's excuse? Oh, wait, they don't make excuses. They just don't DO anything.
Apple rates a serious FAIL here.
And yeah, I just ordered Lightroom. I'm just tired of Apple's half-efforts to make pro apps. Great ideas are one thing; but if you can't keep your eye on the ball and address the issues in at least some vaguely timely manner, you might as well not try.
...and now Apple is scrambling like mad to post "updates." Sure, that's what I want under MY "pro" apps. Not!
It just felt like Apple released Aperture 2 and then forgot about it.
Apple had a great idea with Aperture, but screwed it up as much as could be done upon release. It's difficult to get rid of a bad reputation gotten from the starting gate.
Lightroom has taken over the pro market where people don't need the complexity of PS, or need a simpler app with the full CR feature set, where they MAY need PS later.
Aperture just hasn't made it, hence the large price drop. Apple is now marketing the program mostly to amateurs.
There are still things about Aperture I don't like, and while I hope Apple will fix them, I'm beginning to doubt it.
Aperture is a Cocoa app, the rest of the Pro apps are Carbon.
Aperture could benefit a lot from OpenCL and GCD. Both technologies are well suited for this kind of work and "parallelizing" the code in this particular case is almost a no-brainer.
Regarding the "X" stuff. It might be a placeholder, and having a number like 3 is fine for Aperture. But I think Apple will get rid of the year in iLife and iWork. The problem there is that the product MUST be upgraded on yearly basis, otherwise it will look outdated. Dropping the year makes room for more meaningful version numbering, like upgrade form 3.0 to 3.5 or from 3.0 to 4.0, to emphasize the scope of the changes. Well, that's the version of the package, not the individual apps, but the disadvantages of having the year in the name are still there.
Just a few things on that - SL is a huge improvement in many areas. Many of us Pro users in lots of areas are not seeing any issues at all. Yes legacy stuff broke - that's to be EXPECTED. In fact that was part of SL's purpose, to remove old APIs and old things that had been deprecated for years. Most of the stuff in the list of "bugs" are really just the result of developers not paying any attention. Stuff like the outright lost user data is a major bug, but it also only affects those with guest accounts. Office files in spotlight is not a bug - its a fact of when you have Office 2004 with PPC spotlight importers not working because that's legacy and SL doesn't support them.
Thanks. I suspect for now I'l be the limiting factor on the video. I may invest in FCS when I develop some talent!
I am glad that Apple is finally working on Aperture some more, but it is too little too late for the Pro market I am afraid. I think it will find life in the Amateur and Prosumer side though.
Most pro photogs (myself included) have used PS for so long that they don't see a need to switch. I finally made the jump this Spring and decided to test both Aperture and LR2 so that I could make an informed decision. This is in spite of having a few colleagues that had moved away from PS, suggest LR2 off the bat, and trying to steer me away from Aperture. I figured they likely stayed with Adobe out of "comfort" and I wanted to make up my own mind. Well, they didn't have to convince me. I didn't find Aperture too intuitive, and while LR2 required me to learn a new UI as well (it's made by Adobe but it's certainly not similar to PS) it fit the way I work every day much better and I took to it right away. Plain and simple. Clearly other people have had the opposite experience so YMMV.
I think the casual photographer, or the enthusiast, has different needs than the real Pro photog here, and some of the differences may lie there. I don't get to control all of my variables unlike the home user, so some of the workflow has to fit into established patterns set by the publication you are working for, etc... Also, I don't only use LR anyway, and most photogs use a series of different (specialized) products to complete their work; my card ingest, selects and captioning are done with Photo Mechanic, then I go to LR, and in some instances I then go to PS. All of this has to happen quickly! At times you're uploading photos for immediate release in the middle of an event, not hours (or days) later.
I can say that from my personal observations, the statistics of Pro users for LR, Aperture and PS that the article mentions are indeed accurate.
I'm sure someone must have floated the idea of Apple buying Pixelmator before, it's a great alternative to Photoshop when you need something easy to use without the intimidating breadth of functionality and bloat. With a rebrand it'd fit in nicely to Apple's software library, and with the improvements it sees with every update there's clearly a lot of scope for development.
I?m not so sure about that. The jump in version numbers with QuickTime X(10.0) is very deliberate. The only thing that makes sense to me is that any major apps (or in this case suites) being rewritten to be Cocoa and 64-bit will get X. To me, it seems very Apple-like. I also expect iTunes X to appear September-ish with the next iPod releases and be fully Cocoa and 64-bit on OS X. Only time will tell.
I have a feeling that some of Apertures stability problems may relate to Core Image, and the app being a bit ahead of its time. Apple was using Core Image to leverage the power of the GPU before the industry started its big push toward GPGPU computing. I'm sure Apple used its experience in developing Core Image to write the spec for OpenCL. Now with OpenCL there is an official vendor supported method of using the GPU for computation. I don't doubt that Aperture will be a better product if it is rewritten to take advantage of GCD and OpenCL.
I posted on dpreview a month or so ago why I think it makes perfect sense for Aperture 3 to be coming out soon. Apple obviously put a lot of time and effort into developing a forward-looking operating system in Snow Leopard, given OpenCL, Grand Central Dispatch and SL's 64-bit kernel. Apple I'm sure is counting on developers to start writing new, complex code that takes advantate of GCD and OpenCL. Snow Leopard I believe will finally shine fully once we see how these new optimized apps work with GCD and OpenCL. In fact, sometime last month Apple (if I recall) even released some of the GCD framework to the open source community, to encourage a more rapid adoption and, I'm sure, standardization.
Prior to all of that happening, what would be an ideal way for Apple to demonstrate the power of 64-bit/GCD/OpenCL/Snow Leopard? Why, to introduce its own sofware that takes critical advantage of these new technologies. I would have thought that Final Cut Pro would have been a prime candidate, but the new release earlier this year calls that into question, leaving Aperture in my opionion as a PERFECT fit. It's WAY overdue for an upgrade. I suspect we've been waiting so long because Apple is devoting some serious resources to develop a Snow Leopard-optimized Aperture. Heavy batch processing within Aperture 2.1.4 seems to tax, dependning on the day of the week, either my memory, my qua-core CPU or my GPU. I'm sure 3.0 (or X, as it might be caslled) should effectively utiilize all three of these critical hardware components.
A SL-optimized Aperture, also hopefully of course with new editing tools that bring it more on par with LR, could be mighty powerful software. I know this might not fit with the PowerPC/Tiger/Leopard crowd, but for me, bring it on!
A SL-optimized Aperture, also hopefully of course with new editing tools that bring it more on par with LR, could be mighty powerful software.
Especially considering that Adobe is unlikely to leverage any OS-specific features like Grand Central that aren't available for its other platform.

Q: Delete unnecessary metatable from WordPress database? I want to delete some unnecessary metatable from WordPress database, whenever I log out.
I used the below code, but it does not work. I mean it's not deleting the table which I mentioned.
<?php
function delete_useless_post_meta()
{
  global $wpdb;
  $table = $wpdb->prefix.'postmeta';
  $wpdb->delete ($table, array('meta_key' => '_edit_last'));
  $wpdb->delete ($table, array('meta_key' => '_edit_lock'));
  $wpdb->delete ($table, array('meta_key' => '_wp_old_slug'));
}
add_action('wp_logout','delete_useless_post_meta');
?>

A: It's best not to interact with the database directly, especially when issuing DELETE statements, since a single typo can destroy unintended data. Instead, use WordPress functions to get a list of all user IDs, then remove the user meta field for each user individually, like so:

$all_user_ids = get_users( 'fields=ID' );
foreach ( $all_user_ids as $user_id ) {
    delete_user_meta( $user_id, 'your_meta_key_to_delete' );
}

Function reference:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_users
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/delete_user_meta
OR
Other Option like, you can use the Adminimize plugin - Adminimize plugin

A: This has been explained here in full.
Remove Unnecessary WP Postmeta
All you have to do is add the following in your theme functions.php file

function delete_useless_post_meta() {
   global $wpdb;
   $table = $wpdb->prefix.'postmeta';
   $wpdb->delete ($table, array('meta_key' => '_edit_last'));
   $wpdb->delete ($table, array('meta_key' => '_edit_lock'));
   $wpdb->delete ($table, array('meta_key' => '_wp_old_slug')); }

Afghanistan: NATO claims kill of al-Qaeda big —after big reversals
April 27, 2011 CounterVortex
The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) announced April 26 that a senior al-Qaeda leader, NATO's second most wanted fighter in the country, had been killed in an air-strike in Kunar province 12 days earlier. Abu Hafs al-Najdi AKA Abdul Ghani, a Saudi national, was reportedly killed in Dangam district as he met other senior insurgents and al-Qaeda members. (AlJazeera, April 26) The news came a day after Taliban militants managed to free some 500 of their fellow insurgents from a Kandahar prison thanks to a 1,000-foot-long tunnel the group had dug during the past five months. At least 60 of the escapees have since been recaptured. (AFP, April 27; Slate, April 25)
NATO supplies through Pakistan were resumed April 25 as the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) lifted road-blocks launched in protest of drone attacks. Thousands of vehicles carrying oil, food and other supplies for NATO forces were stopped on their way due to the sit-in in Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly North West Frontier Province). PTI chairman Imran Khan warned that the sit-in would be resumed if drone strikes did not stop within 30 days. (INP, April 26)
On April 26, two buses full of Pakistani navy troops were blown up at Mauripur. outside Karachi, killing four, including a woman doctor and a junior officer. At least 56 others sustained injuries. (The News, Pakistan, April 27)

Yet another very intense Arctic outbreak will push across parts of the United States this week. A dipole pattern with a deep trough across the western half and an upper ridge over the eastern half of the country will develop a robust environment for severe storms along the front and especially extreme temperature contrast between the two airmasses.
The pattern supporting this evolution is characterized by a deep trough moving across the northern US and southern Canada to the west of the extensive upper ridge across the eastern US. Extremely cold Arctic airmass with 850 mbar temperatures below -25 °C will overspread Dakotas and push towards the Midwest tomorrow.
850 mb temperature anomaly through the next several days indicates just how extreme a temperature gradient will develop between the two airmasses. Associated with the deep trough, a surface cyclone will moves across the Great Plains and will result in extremely powerful warm advection across the central Plains and later over the eastern half of CONUS. Looking over the Thursday map, we can see the temperature anomaly ahead of the cyclone will be more than 20 °C above normal, while the airmass behind the system will be more than 20 °C colder than average for early February!
Very intense winds / jet stream will form in between and also support some severe weather further south along the surface front.
We are closely monitoring the evolution of this system and will keep you updated – stay tuned!

Biografia
Nato a Modena nel 1857, ancora studente di giurisprudenza nell'Università di Modena, ove si laureò nel 1878, Giuseppe Salvioli manifestò ben presto interessi anche nel campo letterario, filologico e storico .
Dopo la laurea si trasferì a Roma, collaborò con vari periodici, ed ebbe l'incarico dal direttore dell'Ufficio statistico del Ministero dell'Agricoltura, Luigi Bodio, di condurre una ricerca sulla storia dei prezzi in Italia.

Il suo interesse per gli studi storico-giuridici si consolidò per l'influenza di Francesco Schupfer e per la conoscenza, che ebbe quando era corrispondente a Berlino per le riviste Rassegna e Tribuna, del grande storico e classicista tedesco Mommsen.

Nel 1883 Salvioli ottenne l'incarico di insegnare storia del diritto all'Università di Camerino e, l'anno successivo, vinse la cattedra per la stessa disciplina nell'Ateneo palermitano. In quegli anni, quando veniva formandosi il Partito Socialista Italiano, conobbe e frequentò  alcuni tra i maggiori esponenti del primo socialismo quali Labriola e Turati, e il repubblicano Colajanni, maturò i motivi ispiratori dei suoi studi e pubblicò articoli sulla condizione della classe operaia.

Nel 1903 fu chiamato all'Università di Napoli, ove insegnò per venticinque anni storia del diritto italiano e filosofia del diritto.

Contrario alla partecipazione italiana nel primo conflitto mondiale, nel 1922 Salvioli divenne preside della Facoltà di giurisprudenza e nel 1925 firmò il Manifesto degli intellettuali antifascisti, redatto da Benedetto Croce.

Morì nel 1928, a settantuno anni, mentre presiedeva una seduta di esami nell'Università partenopea.

Dear Mr. Marshel you are Guru in the field Molecular Imaging, Your program is way ahead of the curve. When I was on my externship I knew I had the knowledge base that would set me apart from other Technologist. Not only was I learning from my externship but they were learning from me. The PET/CT Training Institute is a asset to the field. All the facilities that acquire your students will know that they have Technologist that are very sound in all aspects Imaging and Quality Control . You have been available around the clock, always making time to help students with there understanding of the complex aspects of PET/CT. I thank you for your Teaching and can say I am very proud to been one of your students.
Tim, Just want you to know I passed the PET boards on the 13th. Thank you for your help.
Ich möchte die PET / CT Training Institute auf die Vorbereitung für mich eine neue Karriere in PET Imaging danken. Ich wurde in der Nuklearmedizin unemployeed und wurde mit Hilfe von Tim Marshel Anweisungen umgeschult. Jetzt bin ich Vollzeit arbeiten in einer PET-Lab.
I think that I have learned so much with your help. And I am very greatful that you have this On Line program that is accepted by the Society of Nuclear Medicine.
Recently I took the NCT (Nuclear Cardiology Technology Exam) for Nuclear Medicine Technologist. It was the hardest test that I have ever taken! I studied hard for 4 months "The Nuclear Cardiology Technology E-book" If it wasn't for his many hours of tutoring and his E-book, I would not have passed this exam. Should I decide to proceed to take the PET test I will use Tim Marshel and The PET/CT Training Institute's resources.
Good AM Mr. Marshel, I just received my certificates yesterday in the mail, and I just wanted to say thank you for everything. I truly appreciate all of your kindness and willingness to encourage through out the process. I hope that your program has continual success. I know it has truly been an inspiration to me, and I hope it will do the same for many others. Keep up the great work!
I could never, ever had made it through the courses in four months without the expert guidance of Tim Marshel. As a CT technologist, I had no previous background in nuclear medicine and I received step-by-step instruction in every course. Additionally, I received above and beyond guidance by showing me the future for PET/CT in cardiology, neurology and oncology. This is not only cutting-edge technology, it is in-depth instruction.
I have a wonderful experience at The PET/CT Training Institute, the materiral was very extent, a lot of info to go through, but ended very helpful. The power point presentations were nicely done and educational, and very informative. This was a very exciting online experience. I recommend it. The instructors were available at all times. I enjoyed it!
The alternative on-line class was recommended to me by another technologist who was already enrolled in the PET/CT Training Institute. Taking an on-line class worked well with my work schedule as it allowed me to work at my own pace. I liked the way the modules were broken into sections as it made the courses manageable and not seem overwhelming. Tim made it clear from the start that all I had to do was request a meeting time with him and we could discuss any questions that I felt needed to be addressed. I would not hesitate to recommend the class to someone looking for an alternative eligibility course.
I just wanted to thank you again for the practice exams. They were a huge help in preparing for the exam! I took it earlier today and passed with an 85%! Thanks again for all your help! It made a big difference!
The PET CT training Institute allowed me to work at my own pace and study the way that it best suited me. With the classes being on line it made it possible for me to go back to it through out the day and also spend blocks of time when that was available to me. I was also able to refer back to the prior study material which made it very easy to check information; the site was very user friendly. Finally I always felt supported by the staff of the institute, if I had any questions or concerns they were answered promptly and clearly.

Microsoft, with all its patents, afflicted by "innovator's dilemma"?
In talking about the recent IFI report on patent numbers in the US, a ComputerWorld post essentially gets to the disconnect between "counting patents" and measuring innovation:
Microsoft spends an estimated $9 billion annually in research, development, and acquisitions. An in-depth Reuters report about Microsoft noted this about the company's approach to research and innovation:
There is a growing feeling that the $9 billion a year Microsoft is now spending on research and development -- totaling almost $69 billion over the last decade -- has not brought the breakthroughs it should.
"Comparing Microsoft to Apple over the past 10 years in terms of innovation, new products and completely new businesses, the differences are pretty obvious," said Don Dodge, a former 'startup evangelist' at Microsoft, who now works for Google. "What did Microsoft investors get in return for their investment of over $75 billion in R&D and acquisitions?"
The Reuters article went on to say that Microsoft appears to suffer from the "innovator's dilemma" which occurs when a company focuses on protecting existing markets, rather than trying to create new ones, worried that new markets may eat into existing revenue streams. The article has this to say:
That view is shared by another former high-ranking Microsoft executive, still active in the technology sector, who asked not to be identified. "There probably isn't another company in the world that has the same amount of raw talent and smart people," he said. "Then you look at the results over the last 10 years and they're not so impressive. How do you explain that gap?"
But there's more than that at work. Microsoft has made a conscious decision to do pure research as well as applied research, which necessarily means that research dollars may never turn into actual products. A Computerworld examination of the research labs at Microsoft, HP, and IBM, notes:
Leaders of Microsoft's research group sometimes speak with nostalgia about the glory days of computer science research, when labs like the revered Xerox Palo Alto Research Center and Bell Labs worked on ambitious projects.
Most of those famed institutions are gone or are shadows of their former selves, victims of budget cuts and investors who demand that every dollar be clearly earmarked toward development of profitable products.
While its research group never quite ranked among those famous labs, Microsoft likes to boast that it's one of the few remaining public companies that still do pure research, including kinds that might not turn into products for many years.
So Microsoft deserves kudos for spending money on research and possibly never seeing a return on it. More companies should follow suit.

Las Vegas - Nevada, USA
YES * 1994 07 27 * LAS VEGAS * THOMAS AND MACK CENTER * USA (Audio)
Yes live in Las Vegas [27-7-1994] - Full Show
Yes Live: 7/27/94 - Las Vegas - The Calling
Las Vegas Review-Journal July 29, 1994
Mike Weatherford
In The Calling--the rousing second song of Wednesday's concert at the Thomas & Mack Center--Jon Anderson sings "I'll be calling the voices of Africa," and "calling the dragons of China."
Here's some other people Yes should be calling: --Whoever decided to put Wednesday's concert into the full arena configuration instead of the cozier amphitheater setup. The pitiful crowd of 2,646 in the cavernous arena was an embarrassment to the band, and denied a more intimate view to the fans who did show up.
--Rick Wakeman, the keyboard master from the classic Yes albums, whose showmanship was sorely missed. And while they're on the phone, they could call guitarist Steve Howe and even drummer Bill Bruford (though he's now back with King Crimson). Wednesday's show was in many ways anticlimatic to the eight-man lineup of Yes that visited in 1991.
--Their lighting designer, more specifically, calling for his head on a platter. Though the new Yes album, Talk, hearkens back to the warmer, more spiritual versions of the band, the visual design was a retread of 1983's 90125 tour, with a metallic, industrial stage and harsh, cold lighting more akin to a dance club than a band known for its trippy, mystical excursions.
Despite all this, Yes defied the odds and put on a great show anyway. They've been around 26 years now, so you can't underestimate their survivability. And the thing that really makes a Yes concert great is that half the crowd--no matter how small--truly believes that Yes is the best band on earth. Their enthusiasm is contagious.
The generous 2-1/2 hour event proved that unlike many bands which have slipped into a classic rock ghetto, Yes is still a creative force that deserves to be heard. Playing all but one song from the new album Talk, Yes still delivered the grandiose rock that put it on the map, while updating itself by shifting away from long-winded instrumental indulgences that no longer impress people.
A solid 70-minute set fired up the crowd with '80s material such as Changes and Rhythm of Love, paving the way for the knockout punch after a brief intermission. The old standby Your Move/All Good People brought the crowd to its feet, setting up the new 20-minute epic Endless Dream. It was a show-stopper packed with all the dynamic scope you could ask for in a rock show, from quiet verses highlighting Anderson's delicate voice to full-blown orchestral bombast, accented by quadrophonic speakers in the back of the hall.
The main drawback is that the current five-man lineup (plus Las Vegas native Billy Sherwood as a guitar and keyboard utility man) leaves Anderson as the primary visual interest on stage. Guitarist Trevor Rabin is the current guiding force behind the scenes, but he's not as much fun to watch onstage as Wakeman or Howe. And watching him play piano as well as guitar further accentuated the weaknesses of keyboardist Tony Kaye, who isn't in the same class as the rest of the band.
One footnote: The experimental "Concertsonics," in which fans brought personal stereos inside and listened to the sound feed on headphones, turned out to be an idea worth pursuing. But it probably works better at outdoor concerts. In the arena, the volume was so loud that unless you had a godzilla of a Walkman, you could only hear the headphones during the quietest passages. But, like the show as a whole, it was a nice effort.
The Las Vegas show did not even fill half of the stadium. I guess that is what Jon meant when he said 'We aren't selling tickets like we used to' during his talk at Yestival.
before 'Rhythm Of Love'
transcribed by: Geoff Dunn
Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much! It�s great to be with you here in Las Vegas. It�s great to be here looking for the rhythm, looking for the �Rhythm of Love�
before 'Hearts'
Wooh! Many moons cascade one river, they light from side to side. As we cross in close proximity, like rivers our hearts entwine.
before 'Real Love'
Thank you so much. Here�s another song from the new album �Talk�. A song about Earth music, about the sky music, about the fire within, about �Real Love�, the �Real Love�.
before 'Heart Of The Sunrise'
Trevor Rabin:
Trev. Wooh! Wooh! Thank you so much! Thank you! So after this next song we're going to have a little intermission and ahh, re-group backstage, figure out what we�re gonna do for the rest of the evening. Here�s a song that, rumour has, that we wrote this song a zillion years ago, and it was on the planet Zongo. As Zongonians, me and Chris, we wrote this song together. And let me introduce to you the one, the only, the formidable, Chris Squire on bass geetar � wow!
before 'And You And I'
Alright! Thank you. Thank you. Must be Las Vegas!
before 'Where Will You Be?'
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. La La La. Thank you. Most of last year was taken up with making a new album called �Talk�. I would, ahh, wander up to Trevor�s house, up in Hollywood hills there, and, ahh, we�d write songs and he�d play me some music, and one day he played me this piece of music, and I wrote down the lyrics and everything and, ahh, I�ve still get them written down, because I can�t remember the damn lyrics! But they�re pretty simple, but for some reason, I don�t have them here. I feel very uncomfortable. It�s a song that, ahh, I listened to later when we finished the album. I was listening to the lyrics when I was writing, because they are very simple. It made me think about the idea that the lyrics mean we, we�ve lived many lives and this is just another life to live through and discover and replenish our consciousness, stuff like that. And the idea came to me that maybe, in those different lives we�ve lead, maybe we were once Native American Indians. That�s why we�re back here again. And maybe one time we were African, maybe we were one time Chinese, Indonesian, South American, Italian, German and so on, and so on. This song is called �Where Will You Be�.
before 'I've Seen All Good People'
Thank you. Now we�re going to do a sing along song. So you can sing a long, you know. First of all we need the dynamic, hand shaking, hand trembling of Mr. Alan White there on the maracas! The one and only Alan White on the maracas! And before we sing along, with a song that we all know so very well, well I think I know it, a bit. I�m introducing to you, a new friend on stage who�s playing acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, dancing, singing, clapping his hands, shaking his hair.. in the spotlight, Mr. Billy Sherwood. Here comes the sing along part, okay? It�s for my love.
before 'Walls'
Wooh!
before 'Endless Dream'
Wooh! Thank you.
Woooh! Woah! Thank you so much, thank you. So wonderful, thank you. The great thing about being in the group Yes is to be able to come out and play to Yes fans like yourself tonight, just a bit! Yes it does! You have that energy and we work off the energy, we do it together. Another reason for being in a group like Yes is to play a piece of music, this is from the new album �Talk�, this is real Yes music, this is called �Endless Dream�.
after 'Roundabout'

Union Pacific steam locomotive No. 4014, the Big Boy, is in one piece again nearly two years after the behemoth was disassembled to begin its restoration.
The Union Pacific Steam Team recently hoisted the Big Boy's more than 250-ton boiler and rear engine into the air with two massive cranes and reconnected it to its front engine. Getting to that connection moment was a complicated endeavor.

Judge dismisses hate speech case against UVM student
A judge has dismissed a disorderly conduct charge against a University of Vermont student who was accused of using "explicitly racist and threatening language" in a phone call with his mother.
Three witnesses reportedly overheard the comments, but one declined to speak with investigators and another denied overhearing anything inflammatory.

A Burlington, Vermont judge dismissed a criminal case against a University of Vermont (UVM) student who was accused of using racially disparaging comments during a phone conversation.
University officials claimed in October that continuing education major Wesley Richter used "explicitly racist and threatening language" against black students and diversity initiatives on campus, reports Burlington CBS affiliate WCAX.
Judge David Fenster's decision to dismiss the case on Tuesday for lack of probable cause ends two months of review after UVM police charged Richter with a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct.
[RELATED: College adviser facing charges for disrupting Wintrich event]
According to the Burlington Free Press, Richter's lawyer, Ben Luna, said the conversation in the library multimedia room between Richter and his mother contained no threats, but prosecutors argued in October that Richter's comments specifically targeted black students, and as such, constituted a crime.
Notably, however, Seven Days reported shortly after the charges were filed that UVM police had issued a statement saying that after conducting "a thorough investigation and threat assessment," it had "found no information of an imminent threat to public safety."
Despite Tuesday's ruling, Chittenden County State's Attorney Sarah George said her office still believes that it was appropriate to file charges against Richter, saying, "What we allege he did, we still allege he did. It just didn't rise to the level of a hate crime."
[RELATED: 'Hate speech is not free speech,' insist college presidents]
Richter's attorney, Ben Luna, however, offered a very different appraisal, saying the judge's determination makes clear that the charges never should have been filed.
"This opinion is a victory for the First Amendment. This opinion is a victory for free speech on university campuses," Luna declared in a statement after the dismissal.
"From the very beginning, we maintained the University of Vermont, the University of Vermont Police Department, and the Chittenden County State's Attorney's Office overextended their constitutional power in this case," he noted. "The court's ruling reinforces my opinion that this matter should never have been brought."
[RELATED: Message mocking Trump trauma investigated as 'hate crime']
The exact nature of Richter's controversial phone call is not known, as the ruling prevents the release of an affidavit containing specific alleged quotations, but Richter has insisted that he did not make any threats during the conversation, which was reportedly overheard by three other individuals.
One of the witnesses reported the incident, but another denied hearing anything inflammatory, and the third refused to speak with investigators.
UVM told the Free Press that Richter is no longer enrolled at the school, but did not comment further, saying it had not yet obtained a copy of the ruling.

British police are dealing with the second major investigation involving the nerve agent this year, after the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in March.
"The spines were weakening", Nixey said of the British authorities, "and if there are new crimes or misdemeanors on the part of the Russian state, then it means that those spines can be restiffened".
While the United Kingdom and the United States blamed Russian Federation for the attack on the Skripals, authorities have not assigned blame for the latest incident, and it's unclear if the cases are related.
The poisoning of the Skripals, who were found slumped over on a park bench in Salisbury, sparked a minor global incident, with the United Kingdom blaming Russian Federation and Moscow denying all responsibility.
Hobson said that Sturgess was living in a homeless hostel in Salisbury and Rowley was a drug user who lived in Amesbury, a small town about eight miles (13 kilometres) north of Salisbury. "We simply don't know".
Mr Javid told the House of Commons: "The use of chemical weapons anywhere is barbaric and inhumane".
Just a few milligrams of the odorless liquid - the weight of a snowflake - were enough to kill a person within minutes.
A witness told Sky News that one of the victims had appeared to be foaming at the mouth, "sweating loads, dribbling and. making amusing noises".
"It's shocking, and it's scary", said Elaine Read, a worker at The Kings Arms pub who used to occasionally share a pint with Dawn Sturgess, one of the victims.
Police said there was no evidence the latest victims had visited any of the sites linked to the Skripals, which have since been decontaminated.
The Skripals spent weeks in critical condition after being attacked in the southwest England city of Salisbury in March.
Andrea Sella, professor of inorganic chemistry at University College London, said Novichok nerve agents "are created to be quite persistent - they hang around in the environment, neither evaporating nor decomposing quickly".
A police officer has been taken to hospital for specialist tests over concerns of possible exposure to the nerve agent Novichok. The safety of the public and our officers remains paramount and the searches will take longer because of the precautions that we must take to ensure there is no outstanding risk.
Wallace did add, however, that he is "waiting for the phone call from the Russian state - the offer is there".
The job growth shows the labour market shrugging off worries about a slowdown triggered by trade fights or rising borrowing costs. While the unemployment rate slightly increased in June, the number of employed Americans increased to a record high.


Empowering people to have complete control over their significant and momentous days.
We had such a fun day, avoiding any pre-wedding catastrophes. You made sure we had the basics right…us!

Thanks again, and we look forward to seeing you in the future.
Just quick note to say a huge (and rather belated) thank you, for the wonderful job you did as our celebrant.
We were so pleased with everything that you did - in particular your calmness in the face of a large, threatening rain cloud!
If there is another family wedding in Melbourne we will definitely recommend you, to carry on what has become a family tradition.
Thank you so much for being such a wonderful part of our wedding day.
You made our ceremony a beautiful story about us that all of our guests loved.

My work lies at the intersection of digital humanities and C20th/C21st literature. My doctoral training was in conventional literary studies, but from my postdoctoral work onwards, I've sought out digital tools that can help us to better understand the development and dissemination of literary movements and ideas, and to find ways to incorporate those technologies in critically attentive ways. I am particularly interested in applications of machine learning to large bodies of digitised text, and how humanities scholars can contribute to the theoretical, methodological and ethical work being undertaken in this area in other disciplines.

My research looks at the development of literary modernism in the Anglophone world beyond the British Isles and the United States. I have published articles on this topic in Modernism/Modernity, Canadian Literature, Australian Literary Studies and Topia, and have a chapter on the topic of Australian, New Zealand and Canadian modernist fiction in the Oxford History of the Novel in English. I am also interested more broadly in postcolonial writing of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
I am particularly interested in digital humanities approaches to this area, including the use of geospatial technologies to chart the transmission of ideas and the dissemination of material artefacts which enabled modernist styles, genres, forms and concepts to travel around the globe. I have published essays on this topic in the International Journal of Canadian Studies and ELN: English Language Notes. I have built several digital maps, including one of early twentieth-century Paris, which give an indication of the potential of these kinds of mapping technologies and which can be accessed from my website: https://aelang.github.io/maps/.
A second area of research is reading and reception study in the contemporary period, especially in relation to digital culture. I was PI on the AHRC-funded project Developing Methods for Analysing and Evaluating Literary Engagement in Digital Contexts, and in 2012 I published an edited collection on this subject in the University of Massachusetts Press's series Studies in Print Culture and the History of the Book. I have other essays on contemporary reading in the journals Canadian Literature, Narrative, Participations, Language and Literature and The Journal of Commonwealth Literature, as well as several book chapters on the topic.
I have also collaborated with some of my PhD students on digital projects, including a digital edition by Dr Robyn Pritzker (UoE) of four short stories by Fanny Van de Grift Stevenson, Encoding the Vandegrifter (https://robynpritzker.github.io/encodingthevandegrifter), and a digital prototype of selected pages from Edwin Morgan's scrapbooks done by Bridget Moynihan (UoE) and Jonathan Armoza (NYU), Digital Decoupage (http://digitaldecoupage.llc.ed.ac.uk; see https://dev.clariah.nl/files/dh2019/boa/0795.html for more detail).

Ромуальд Богомолець (1782–1840) — один із представників «вітебської» гілки давнього литовсько-руського роду Богомольців гербу «Богорія»; бургомістр Вітебська (1812).

Біографія
Син депутата Головного Литовського Трибуналу і сейму Речі Посполитої від Вітебського воєводства Пйотра-Тадеуша Богомольця (між 1727 і 1729 — після 1792). До розділів Речі Посполитої був одним із тих, хто чинив опір втручанню Російської імперії у внутрішні справи Речі Посполитої, але потім змушений був присягнути на вірність російській імператриці Катерині ІІ.

4 сини Петра-Тадеуша Богомольця, в тому числі й Ромуальд, служили в кавалергардах лейб-гвардії Кінного полку. Ромуальд дослужився до ротмістра.

1802—1805 — посол на сеймик Люцинського повіту.

1811—1814 — підкоморій Городецького повіту Вітебської губернії.

На початку франко-російської війни 1812 року Ромуальд Богомолець перебував у Вітебську. Якийсь час у місті знаходилася ставка імператора Франції Наполеона Бонапарта. В липні 1812 Наполеон призначив губернатором Вітебщини генерала Шарпентьє. Генерал сформував місцеве самоуправління — «правлячу комісію». До неї увійшли і брати Богомольці — Ромуальд і Станіслав (* 1777—1778 — † 1852). Ромуальд став мером Вітебська, а Станіслав — підпрефектом Правлячої комісії.

До тієї комісії входив граф Юзеф-Генріх фон дер Борх (1764—1835) — чоловік Анни Богомолець (* бл. 1780 — † ?), молодшої сестри Ромуальда і Станіслава Богомольців. Фон дер Борх іще у вересні 1799 року за особистим розпорядженням імператора Павла І був ув'язнений у Шліссельбурзькій фортеці.

Співробітництво з французами мало свої підстави. З Наполеоном шляхта колишньої Речі Посполитої пов'язувала надії на відновлення своєї держави, яка припинила існування в результаті трьох розподілів між Росією, Прусією і Австрією (у нинішньому гімні Польщі й досі є слова: «Дай нам приклад, Бонапарте, як перемагати»).

Після відходу Наполеона з Білорусі обох Богомольців і графа фон дер Борха оминули репресії. Що більше, Ромуальд Богомолець з 1816 тричі обирався губернським маршалком (предводителем дворянства), а в 1817 був нагороджений орденом Св. Анни II ступеню.

Серед заслуг Ромуальда Богомольця — побудова у Вітебській губернії поштових станцій із залученням коштів місцевої шляхти, будівництво вітебського Свято-Покровського кафедрального собору. Ромуальд Богомолець опікувався також справами першої Вітебської чоловічої гімназії.

Помер у Вітебську 9 квітня 1840 року.

Ромуальд Богомолець був одружений з баронесою Терезією фон Фелькерзам (1786—1862).

Правнуком Ромуальда Богомольця був відомий польський військовий, мандівник і письменник, кавалер ордену Почесного Легіону Анджей Богомолець (1900—1988)

10-minute Version
What is "I Will Not Forget"?
A global event on Yom HaShoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day, April 15th 2015 - in which we remember "The Darkness" and "The Light"
The Darkness: The unspeakable tragedy of the six million Holocaust victims and survivors...
The Light: Those Christians who gave their health, wealth and in some instances their lives to rescue and aid Jewish people.
This is an opportunity for the church to now show God's love to His Chosen People.
Who is putting this event on?
This event is sponsored by the Friends of Zion Heritage Center – a brand new museum in Jerusalem that tells the story of Christian Heroes and their history. The museum shares the story of The Darkness and the Light in a way that is hi-tech, innovative and interactive. This remarkable museum is now open as a place of inspiration. Here visitors will see how Christian Zionists played a vital role in the establishment of the nation of Israel – and why their ongoing support of God's Chosen people is so vital. The museum was established with the support of the international friends of The Jerusalem Prayer Team.
Why is this event being held now?
This year is the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camps, and the memory of both Holocaust survivors and Christian heroes who helped them will fade if we do not act now. The nation of Israel is under attack on every side, and in great need of support as well.
Why should my church take part in this event?
A large number of Jewish people believe that Christians hate them and would do evil to them if given the opportunity. As the church we must show them a different story—that true Believers love and care for the Jewish people.
What is the focus of "I Will Not Forget"?
This is much more than a time of mourning for the sins of the past—it is an inspiring and motivating message for our day. It is part of God's end-time plan for His church to pray for and support His Chosen People.
What is the cost for participating in this event?
There is no cost. This is a free event.
Will people be asked for an offering or gifts for the Friends of Zion Heritage Center?
No. This is an event designed to promote love between Christians and Jews, and all the costs have been covered by the gifts of our Jerusalem Prayer Team members.
What is involved in being part of this event?
We encourage churches to incorporate this special event into their church service. Churches have a number of options for participating. We are encouraging meetings on Wednesday, April 15 which is Holocaust Remembrance Day. Churches may wish to use part of the previous or following Sunday services as well. This remembrance could be part of a small group meeting or presented to the entire congregation.
In addition, churches can choose to receive a FREE DVD of the full 30-minute program, which can be reviewed before the event and then played for your group. There is also a shortened 10-minute version that is especially designed for Sunday services.
What is Yom HaShoah?
Since the early 1950s the nation of Israel has set aside one day a year to mourn the six million Jewish people who perished in the Holocaust. It is a day of solemn remembrance.
How can my church be part of this event?
Click here to sign up and receive your free materials for "I Will Not Forget" When you sign up for "I Will Not Forget" you are joining a growing global event. Excitement is building even before the official launch as many churches have already asked to be part of this special day. It is a unique way for you and your people to show God's love to the Jewish congregation in Israel and around the world.

at mem@IWillNotForget.net
Be part of "I Will Not Forget" on 04-15-2015
Today we invite you to join more than 10,000 churches and hundreds of thousands of Believers around the world in standing as lights in the darkness. Join us as we remember the horrible pain and evil of the past, and as we vow "never again." This April 15th be part of a powerful testimony of Christian love to the Jewish people and do your part to stand in the gap.
If you are a friend of Israel and the Jewish people, you can't miss this prophetic day.
We are not able to accept any more names to ship the DVD in time for the event on 4/15/15. However, complete your information below and we'll send you a link to view or download the video "I Will Not Forget."
Friends of Zion Heritage Center
In a beautiful five story building located just 600 meters from the Temple Mount, a unique museum is now open to tell the stories of Christian love for the Jewish people. Utilizing the latest cutting edge technology and combining lighting, sounds, special effects and holograms, the experience each visitor receives will make a powerful impression. The heart of the museum is "Lights in the Darkness" a special display highlighting the sacrifices Christians made for the sake of the Jewish people during the Holocaust.

The Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Friends of Zion Heritage Center is retired Israeli General Yossi Peled. As a baby, he was taken to a Christian family by his Jewish parents in Belgium. They raised him as their own, never telling him of his heritage. After the war, his mother—the only member of his immediate family to survive—came back and took him to Israel. After a life of defending his nation, he now is lending his influence and support to telling the stories of Christians who cared for and love the Jewish people.

The challenge of losing weight is always there for many people. While others can do it easily, a majority may have a hard time trying to maintain a fit lifestyle and continue doing it day in and day out. One of the best ways to follow a weight loss program is to understand more about weight loss and what may be the different factors behind it. Here are some facts that you should know about.
Weigh loss is connected with your resting metabolic rate.
Metabolism can mean any chemical process that takes place in your body. For losing weight, your resting metabolic rate or RMR matters a lot. Basically, it is the amount of calories that you body burns even while you are not doing anything. This will become a big factor to consider when you try to lose weight. You can have your RMR measured by requesting for a calorimeter test from your doctor.
Muscle mass determines how fast you burn calories.
An effective way to lose weight is by trying to boost how your body burns fat. Increasing muscle mass can help you achieve this. The more muscles you have, the higher your metabolism and your body's ability to burn fat.
Eating more protein can help you increase the amount of calories you burn. It takes your body more calories to process protein in your body compared to carbohydrates and fat. Eating more protein in your diet can help you burn more calories by reducing your intake of the other food types as well.

The dip-dyed hair is now the trendiest hair color trend. It first started off with ombre trend having blond ends and dark roots. This hair trend looks best on beach hair waves. Dip-dyed hair is about keeping your natural hair color on the top of the hair and adding intensity with dramatic deep toned ends. Celebrities took it to another level by dip-dying with soft rainbow colors such as Nicki Minaj, Lauren Conrad, Cher Lloyd, Drew Barrymore and much more!


My trading strategy  is not one that will have me so exposed to any particular trade that if something bad happened I would be wiped out. Because of this, my fear isn't that I will someday have to take a giant loss on a bad trade. Yes, I will be wrong and take my medicine, but that's not a big concern to me.

Almost every year from 2001 through 2013, Gallup has polled American adults on the question: 'Now thinking for a moment about the news media: In general, do you think the news media is too liberal, just about right, or too conservative.' Each year, the number of Americans saying the media are too liberal has outnumbered those seeing a pro-conservative bias by about a three-to-one margin. Gallup also found that while a large majority of Democrats said they had trust and confidence in the media, a similarly large percentage of Republicans expressed little or no trust in the media.
In September 2013, three times as many Americans said that the media are too liberal (46%) than said the media are too conservative (13%).
Since 2001, the percentage saying the media are too liberal has ranged from 44 percent to 48 percent; the percentage seeing the media as too conservative has never exceeded 19 percent.
In 2013, just one-third of Republicans (33%) told Gallup they had a great deal or fair amount of trust and confidence in the media, while the majority of Democrats (60%) said they trusted the media. Only 37% of self-described independents said they trusted the press.
Gallup's bottom line in 2013: "Although up from the all-time low found last year, Americans' confidence in mass media remains lower than it was in the late 1990s and early 2000s."
