The World Is Finally Ready for Beverly Glenn-Copeland
سپتامبر 24, 2020 سپتامبر 24, 2020 از masternewss
The composer Beverly Glenn-Copeland weaves his way towards the stage, so slight and unassuming that he is barely noticed by the hipsters thronging the bar. Dressed in a uniform of pressed chinos, neat tie, and a mile-wide smile, he looks out over the audience and says, "Wow!" under his breath, as if he can't quite believe all the fuss is for him. He seems more like an excited kid than a man in his mid-seventies. His band, who are all 40-odd years his junior, begins layering hypnotic, looping melodies. Glenn-Copeland lifts his arms toward the rapt crowd and sings "Ever New," his ode to blooming flowers and regeneration, in a voice like summer rain itself.
Versions of this scene, from the 2019 Posy Dixon documentary Keyboard Fantasies, were meant to play out across the United States this year. After his back catalogue, spanning nearly a half-century, was rediscovered by a Japanese aficionado a few years ago, then reissued to great acclaim and wide appeal, this was the year that Glenn-Copeland, who goes by Glenn, was supposed to tour the world and finally turn a profit. Then the pandemic devastated that plan. At the end of May, his daughter Faith started a GoFundMe page to help her parents finance their new home.
"COVID threw a right-hand uppercut," Glenn-Copeland told me over the phone this week, from his home by the ocean on the east coast of Canada's New Brunswick, across from Prince Edward Island. "And then, once I got off the floor, presented me with gifts I could not possibly have known about." Fans, moved by the plight of this septuagenarian Black trans artist who had just been on the cusp of receiving his due, rushed to his aid, donating enough money to keep Glenn-Copeland afloat.
That Glenn-Copeland was buoyed by a younger generation is no coincidence. He has known the indifference of their predecessors, as well as their prejudice, and now his time has come.
His life began in Philadelphia in 1944, born to a talented pianist father and a mother who sang everything from lieder to spirituals. Glenn-Copeland (then Beverly) listened to whatever he could find on the radio and bought records galore, his tastes ranging across China, India, and different parts of Africa. He received a classical education in music, and you can still hear that training in the sound of his voice, which has deepened over the years but retained the burnished, controlled vibrato he learned as a child.
He told his mother he was a boy at age three, and remembers "making muscles in the mirror" when all the girls were primping their hair. As he grew up, he said, "some of my subconscious, bit by bit, began to emerge." He realized that the music he was drawn to, like West African drumming, related to different strands of his own DNA. "I said, 'I see: This is the West African. This is the Irish and the Celt speaking here. This is the Indigenous part speaking here,'" referring to his father's mother, who was raised Cherokee. In a 2017 interview, he recalled the first time he heard bagpipes, in Montreal. "I had never heard pipes before and I ran into the window and just burst into tears," he said. "I almost passed out, it was so amazing what I was listening to. It struck such a deep chord. Unbeknownst to me, I had Celtic grandmothers."
He told his mother he was a boy at age three, and remembers "making muscles in the mirror" when all the girls were primping their hair.
Glenn-Copeland received a scholarship to study music at McGill University in Montreal, where he was the first Black student in the faculty of music when he arrived in 1961. He lived in a women's residency and was open about his relationships with women at a time when that was dangerous. Homosexuality was only decriminalized in Canada in 1969, and he describes his dorm-mates as "totally, totally freaked." More importantly, "So was the Assistant Dean of Women of the whole university. Not the Dean of Women, she wasn't freaked at all—but the Assistant Dean of Women didn't know that." When he eventually fled the women's residency, he recalled with a plum-rich laugh, the Dean of Women ended up giving Glenn-Copeland and his then-girlfriend a bunch of furniture.
"I'm joshing about the whole thing now, but it was quite painful," he said. "Especially because my parents were very involved at that point and worrying about me and thinking that I wasn't going to be safe in society. And they were reading all of these psychological assessments [written] by psychiatrists, and believing it." He didn't come out as trans, he said, "until the society started having a bit of a conversation about the difference in folks." He's known he was trans since 1995, when he read a memoir on the beach in Cape Cod. As the writer described their earliest memories, Glenn-Copeland said, "I just sat up—because I was lying down. I just sat up and went, 'Wait a minute. Those are my memories.' And in that moment I went, 'Oh, I get it. I'm transgendered. That's what's happened here, and there's been no word for it. So how would I know what to call it myself?'"
"The trouble in my life because of non-normative behavior ended," Glenn-Campbell said, "when I went out on my own playing my own music."
The issue caused great pain between him and his parents. One day, when Glenn-Copeland was in college, they showed up, bundled him into a car, and dragged him into a clinic. He turned and fled out the front door, a decision he today thinks helped him escape institutionalization by a hair. It was hard for his mother to see him grow into somebody visibly different, and "she'd let me know how that was playing out every time I went out the door," he said.
At the same time, his mother was kind and nurtured the artist in him. When he was choosing colleges, Glenn-Copeland's "first choice was actually Curtis Institute, which is like Juilliard, but the only thing is that it was in Philadelphia. For me, that was right at home. But my mom said, 'If you go to university in the same town, which I do not want you to do, I will not give you the freedom that you will need. I will overprotect you.'"
They reconciled in 1996, after Glenn-Campbell got a mysterious "warm feeling about my mom," immediately followed by a phone call. "And it's my mom. The first thing I hear on the other end is, 'Oh, my darling. Please forgive me.'" She died in his arms in 2006, as he sang to her the same spirituals she taught him in the cradle.
"The trouble in my life because of non-normative behavior ended," Glenn-Campbell told me, "when I went out on my own playing my own music." After leaving McGill in 1965, he went to New York City to study opera for a year, before moving to Toronto. The first record he cut, Beverly Copeland, was with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and it was an extension, he said, of the classical repertoire in his youth. You can hear that pure and solemn tone on 1970's "Colour of Anyhow," which sounds like Joni Mitchell powered by three times the soul. The CBC album is now worth thousands of dollars in the original 250-copy pressing, highly sought after by collectors.

Folk and jazz were huge in Toronto at the time, led by musicians like guitarist Lenny Breau, drummer Terry Clarke, and pianist Don Thompson. All three appear on Glenn-Copeland's self-titled record, which used his full name this time, also cut in 1970. "I was a little bunny, I didn't know anything about anything," he says in the documentary, but all he had to do was play them a song on the guitar, and they'd return a few minutes later to record instantly perfect takes, live off the floor. "I was awestruck," he said.
Nobody knew how to market him or his music, so nothing happened, and in 1972 Glenn-Copeland took his awe far north, to the Muskoka woods. In 1983 he self-released his intense funk-meets-blues EP "At Last!", which his new record label has made digitally available for the very first time this year. The great thunderbolt came a couple of years later, when he bought an Atari home computer system. Glenn-Copeland told me that he was obsessed as a child with science fiction novels, especially those that posited the existence of silicon-based life out there in the universe, as opposed to the carbon-based life forms we are. "I was fascinated by computers because I knew they were based on silicon," he said. "And I figured that that was the beginning of, on our planet, dabbling with silicon life."
In a way, Glenn-Copeland was making contact with hypothetical aliens when he began to duet with man-made software. By 1985, he said, "computers had gotten sophisticated enough for me to write music in my home in the middle of the woods and have a full palette of sound." Since he couldn't summon the drummers and orchestras and choirs of his fantasies, their computer-generated equivalents would do just fine.
In between shoveling snow, feeding his family, and sleeping four hours a night, Glenn-Copeland learned how to use his tools. Along with a TR707 drum machine, a DX7 keyboard synth, and his own instincts, the computer helped Glenn-Copeland manifest the urgent musical messages he says he intermittently receives from an entity he calls the Universal Broadcasting System. "I could be washing dishes," he told me, "and suddenly my mouth opens and I start going, la la la la! And I go, whoa—what is that?" Now that he had a computer that could sound like a violin "if you squint with your ears," in his words, the potential for translating these messages exploded. His intense experimentations in the literal and musical wild began.
"Ever New," the lead track from his now-legendary album Keyboard Fantasies from 1986, combines lyrics on the theme of biological regeneration ("Welcome the bud / The summer blooming flower") with a cyclical, multilayered synth accompaniment. The song turns annual renewal into a way for generations to connect: "Welcome the child whose hand I hold," he sings, "Welcome to you, both young and old." There are flavors of early techno in the album's heavier beats, and the dreamlike logic of his melodies predicts the soulful streak of deep house, as if Glenn-Copeland's isolated dreams had travelled along the frequencies of Universal Broadcasting System to reach the young, urban innovators of Detroit in the mid-to-late 1980s.
The record was self-released on Atlast Records as a cassette, but again, nothing happened. So he proceeded with his life, living in forested seclusion with his family and creating music, scripts, and performances for children's TV shows like Canada's Mr Dressup and Sesame Street—a job he loved, but never felt at home in because of the shows' compulsory heteronormativity. He kept recording, and in 2004 released the album "Primal Prayer" under the artist name Phynix. The extraordinary lead track, "La Vita," is an operatic, trip-hoppy number.
The big break came in 2015, when a man named Ryota Masuko, himself something of a legend in the record-collecting business, emailed Glenn-Copeland from Japan to ask if he had any stock of Keyboard Fantasies, which had originally sold about 50 copies. Sure, Glenn replied, and shipped over three cassette tapes. They sold out, so he sent three more. Those went, too, and word started to spread. "Inside of a month, I had offers from ten record companies," he said. In 2016, Keyboard Fantasies was reissued, and instantly recognized for the classic it has always been.
Since he began touring, Glenn-Copeland has been both astonished by the age of his fans, and struck by how wounded they seem. After a show, one said to him, "Thank you for what you said about us. We only hear how selfish we are." Glenn-Copeland was rent to the heart, and made a decision: "I'm going to travel and go out and sing as a way to be able to talk to them—to talk about how thrilled we are, how much they are needed, and how happy we are to see them!"
His works reclaim the "natural world" as inherently queer, an almost loving riposte to those who try to use biological essentialism to bolster their transphobia.
His devotion to young people is a feature, it seems, of a cosmic view of time and space: Everything in this universe is connected, and he is simply a kind of radio who can "tune in" to its sounds. As part of this capacious vision, Glenn-Copeland, who has practiced Buddhism for 40 years, considers the forest and its nonhuman inhabitants as much a part of that universe as we are. His music is profoundly about the natural world, and the galactic expanse of which it is a fragment, and that includes the tangles of genetic code that shape human lives in ways we can't control. His works reclaim the "natural world" as inherently queer, an almost loving riposte to those who try to use biological essentialism to bolster their transphobia, or back up their retrograde views about racial purity.
When I spoke with Glenn-Copeland over the phone, we talked about our shared heroes, independent-minded pioneers like Alice Coltrane and Joan Armatrading. I didn't mention that he also belongs with them in the tiny group of people whose lives could be a realistic inspiration for a young, queer artist today. I wanted to know how he did it: How did he make it to 76 years old so completely unjaded? As a young person, he explained, "I was very independent of what other people thought. I didn't really care." It was only in his teens that he learned psychiatrists considered queer desire "to be an emotional disease." But he "never gave it two thoughts. I just considered they were out to lunch."
That's not to say that he could dismiss the world and its cruelties entirely. "I still have to deal with it," he said. "When I go out the door, I know I'm representing Black people, because you never get to be invisible in a culture in which your skin coloring is not the dominant culture."
The influence that Glenn-Copeland has had on musical culture has never been matched by material reward. That is changing now. Young people understand so much more than their elders, he thinks. His message of eternal renewal represents a striking anomaly amid the cynical, doom-laden identity otherwise assigned to Generation Z. For him, these young people are facing historical forces that have morphed and regrouped since the time he attended a homophobic university—and they're in desperate need of encouragement.
Late last year, Glenn-Copeland returned to the United States after almost six decades away, to perform alongside a screening of the documentary Keyboard Fantasies at MoMA's PS1 in New York. Starting this week, you can purchase Transmissions: The Music Of Beverly Glenn-Copeland, an anthology record that mixes new material with songs dating back to 1970. It was put together by Transgressive Records, which has also released one of its tracks, "River Dreams," as a single, reissued the 2004 album Primal Prayer. When I spoke to Toby L, the co-founder of Transgressive, he said that the collaboration had "been one of the most soulfully enriching exchanges we've ever experienced as a record company." Transgressive is now in the process of reissuing Glenn-Copeland's entire back catalogue, which includes several lost recordings.
His music has opened doors across genres, and into the future, while his own memory stretches back to a world we'd barely recognize as ours. "There's purpose to each life," Glenn-Campbell says towards the end of Posy Dixon's documentary. "My purpose—who knew!—was to encourage your generation about the fact that you all are going to change the world, and hopefully save us." He adds, "I will be dead, but you will be doing that. I'm gonna be watching y'all from another dimension."

In a matter of seconds, the star became no less than 14,000 times brighter at ultraviolet wavelengths.
We have known for some time that Proxima Centauri – the star closest to our solar system – produces solar flares. But the fact that the star also produces monstrous variants came as a complete surprise. Recently, scientists detected the largest solar flare ever from Proxima Centauri. And that also has consequences for our pursuit of extraterrestrial life.
As mentioned, the star Proxima Centauri is located at a relatively short distance from Earth, being only 4 light years away from us. As far as we know, Proxima Centauri is home to two planets, one of which could look quite like Earth. In addition, the star is a so-called red dwarf; these are the most common and longest-lived stars in the universe. Red dwarfs are a lot cooler than our sun and have a lesser mass. In fact, Proxima Centauri has about one-eighth of the mass of our own sun.
Proxima Centauri is a small but powerful star. We certainly shouldn't underestimate it. In the study, published in the journal The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the researchers reported to have observed the nearby star for 40 hours using as many as nine telescopes, including the Hubble Telescope, Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, and planet hunter TESS. And as they stared at the star, something striking happened.
The researchers discovered that Proxima Centauri suddenly produced a giant solar flare. This is a massive burst of energy on the surface of a star. "In just a few seconds, the star became as much as 14,000 times brighter at ultraviolet wavelengths," says study leader Meredith MacGregor. In fact, the monstrous solar flare was one of the most violent scientists have ever seen. For example, the observed solar flare was about 100 times more powerful than any similar specimen. The whole event took only seven seconds.
As mentioned, the occurrence of solar flares on Proxima Centauri is anything but a rarity. During the forty hours that the researchers stared at the star, they also saw many solar flares – albeit of different orders. "Planets around Proxima Centauri are bombed at least once a day," MacGregor said.
The findings from the study suggest that the free-flying star Proxima Centauri may have even more surprises in store for us. "There will probably be other weird types of solar flares that demonstrate different types of physics and that we haven't thought about so far," MacGregor said. The future will tell.

Fundless Sponsors vs. Traditional Private Equity Firms
By DarcMatter On 07/30/2015 1
In a traditional private equity business model, a private equity firm will raise committed capital for a fund from outside investors. The firm will then deploy that capital into investments that its managers source and decide are worthwhile. In order for the firm to pay salaries and support operations, a management fee is collected (typically a percentage of assets under management). In this traditional model, LP's have limited say in the investment process and little recourse to debate the merits of an investment decision. LP's in fact have a legally binding obligation to fund the private equity firm's investment decisions. This is great for traditional private equity firms that can successfully raise capital. They can focus on the execution of their investment mandate. In this model, LP's are trusting the competence and specialization of the firm as a professional investor.
However, private equity firms are operating in a particularly difficult climate. Debt is plentiful and cheap, and fierce competition for the best deals are causing prices to catapult. According to Preqin, there is a record amount of dry powder held by private equity firms. This means private equity firms are holding capital that have been raised yet not invested. As of March 2015, private equity firms held over $1.22 trillion of committed capital worldwide just waiting to be invested in deals. Additionally, there's a growth in what the industry refers to as "zombie funds". These funds tie up capital by holding assets long after the official holding period with no clear plans to raise additional funds. Zombie funds hold underperforming portfolio companies that would not turn profitable upon an exit.
The Rise of Fundless Sponsors and Search Funds
As a result of all this held capital, the best and most popular deals are getting bid up, leaving room for more niche players to pursue lesser known but potentially lucrative deals. Fundless sponsors and search funds have come in to fill this void. A fundless sponsor is an individual or group that seeks out acquisition targets without having the financing up front in order to complete the transaction. In contrast, a search fund typically raises a smaller amount of capital, oftentimes principal capital in the range of $500k, to fund the deal sourcing and diligence process. Once a target is identified, the search fund will sometimes raise more capital internally or look for other sources of capital. The number of fundless sponsors and search funds have increased substantially over the last few years.
There are other factors contributing to the growth of fundless sponsors and search funds. New financial regulations in response to the financial crisis created a more regulated and scrutinized fundraising environment. Although recent legislation like the JOBS Act supports the opening up of the private capital markets, private companies are increasingly skittish and conservative about inadvertently violating securities regulations. Deal flow is crucial in the private equity industry. Fundless sponsors can act independently with their own networks of investors as well as provide this deal flow to established private equity firms. Good fundless sponsors can be well-connected deal professionals with industry experience. These individuals can provide access to proprietary deal flow that lies under the radar of big private equity firms. Also, personal relationships go a long way in the private equity business. Good fundless sponsors can provide these relationship links for larger private equity firms if they are well-connected and experienced within a niche industry.
Fundless sponsors can earn acquisition fees, can share in carried interest profits, or collect ongoing management or consultant fees. Many times the benefit of a fundless sponsor to the target company will be an ongoing mutually beneficial relationship where the fundless sponsor provides managerial and operation expertise. Generally, the sponsor's fee structure mirrors that of a commitment fund with a few differences. LP's will have the opportunity to negotiate and agree on fee terms in conjunction with the approval of a specific deal. Fees also tend to be only payable once capital is actually deployed. This aligns interests nicely, as an LP will have the benefit of directly investing into a deal of their choice, while also taking advantage of the support and deal-sourcing expertise of an investment professional.
Potential Pitfalls in the Fundless Sponsor Model
There are potential pitfalls to the fundless sponsor model, however. Inherently, a fundless sponsor may not be able to acquire the necessary capital to invest in the sourced deals. The likelihood of the deal transacting is lower. By not having capital upfront, a fundless sponsor's leverage is a lot lower when negotiating deal terms or sourcing the best deals. On the other side of the table, sellers may be skeptical to do deals when they don't believe that the necessary capital can be acquired. That being said, traditional private equity firms will still get access to the most popular deals, but significant industry factors are giving rise to the fundless sponsor's flexible model and their ability to create value in the industry.

Church of the Holiest Saviour
ul. bł. Bronisławy 11a
The most mysterious place in Salwator, and one of Kraków's oldest churches.
The first mention of this church in sources that are known to us dates back to 1148, yet legends widespread already in the days of the first guidebook to Kraków, published in 1603, connect the construction of the church of the Holiest Saviour with the state of the first rulers of the Piast dynasty and the mission of St Adalbert (Voitek), who is believed to have preached here before setting out on a mission to Christianise the Prussians.
The church has Romanesque foundations, and some architectural details characteristic of the style. Its current form results from baroque reconstructions in the 16th and 17th centuries. It used to be home to a crucifix famous for its graces (allegedly kept in Italy today), to which the painting in the high altar (1605) alludes by presenting the adoration of crucified Christ by a poor musician. The crucifix was lavishly decorated, and the figure of the Lord hanging on the cross wore slippers. The Saviour took pity on the impoverished fiddler and dropped one of the shoes as a gift for the boy. The pious musician wanted to return the gift to the crucifix, yet he was presented with it again.
The church stands in a picturesque garden with the former parish cemetery. Standing huddled in its corner is a wooden house from the first half of the 19th century, known as the gravedigger's cottage.
Be sure to see:
Romanesque elements of the interior decoration: a stone altar table below the high altar, chancel walls, windows
Renaissance frescoes from early 16th century: the crucifixion scene and the miraculous feeding of the 5000 with bread
late Renaissance pulpit
organ atop the 17th-century music choir

One journey covered 238,000 miles and ended successfully to rich acclaim. At the same time, after taking a wrong turn, another journey covered 4 miles and ended in death and national disgrace. SPLASHDOWN is the second in my Apollo trilogy and explores two American historical events bound together in time. Utilizing acquired imagery and filming miniature objects scaled to monumental size, I've created a metaphor for unpredictable rewards and consequences, and redefined notions of risk.
To create Contact, I used an inexpensive surveillance camera to record honeybees in a garden. Distorting the video and heightening the floral colors, I created a visually luscious landscape that elevates the mundane backyard activity of pollination to seemingly monumental proportions. I then layered the personal footage with scientifically and culturally significant audio and video recordings from early moon-to-earth transmissions. By bringing commonplace and historical events into direct contact with one another,I raise questions about how we select and edit certain pieces of information to build the stories we tell about ourselves.
GREAT WESTERN WATER TRICK intercuts issues around the politically tinged topic of water in the arid American west with the artist's family history. With interviews of experts, friends and the artist's brothers as a backdrop, the history of water in the west, as both asset and commodity, is viewed with both insight and humor.
Gray Zone is a poignant investigation of how culturally constructed opinions can become the standards by which people judge one another. The work attempts to explore the tendency of individuals to assume sexual preference about others based solely on superficial details such as appearance It is an intimate portrait of men discussing personal issues of sexual identity and specifically how "straight" men are compelled to communicate their sexual preference to other men. This narrative and didactic approach to art-making allowed me to present issues and concepts that were personally relevant when I made the piece over 30 years ago.
Disguised as a documentary, "Too Perfect To Ignore" explores the ways in which our knowledge of the past is dictated by the process of editing and curating. In other words, how a few select professionals dramatically affect the way we see history and ourselves. The famous photograph of the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima during World War II serves as example of this subjective editorial process.
As in Horizontal and Vertical Water is a three channel video installation that addresses the physical states of water and the state of water as commodity in the American West.
The central channel shows a case of bottled water labeled with iconic snow-capped mountains, engulfed in flames. The contained water is transformed from liquid to explosive steam. Vertical water is represented not with a beautiful mountain waterfall, but at the outtake of a water treatment plant discharging its processed water into the South Platte River. Winter, spring, summer, fall, day or night, the volume of water is constant and cost effective. In the third channel, an Olympic speed skater slices rhythmically across frozen water, leaving the sound of metal on ice. The image splits and merges, the colorful patterns forming fluid forms of their own.
In As in Horizontal and Vertical Water, water is always on the move, even in its frozen state.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States hopes to enlist allies over the next two weeks or so in a military coalition to safeguard strategic waters off Iran and Yemen, where Washington blames Iran and Iran-aligned fighters for attacks, the top U.S. general said on Tuesday.
Under the plan, which has only been finalized in recent days, the United States would provide command ships and lead surveillance efforts for the military coalition. Allies would patrol waters near those U.S. command ships and escort commercial vessels with their nation's flags.

Over the past several years, the organizations we lead – Concerned Veterans for America and VoteVets – have vigorously disagreed on major public policy issues, including the future of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). We have also worked on the opposite side of many political fights across multiple election cycles.
But we both served our countries in uniform – including in Iraq – and we both believe that one important way to alleviate the strain at the VA is to pursue a more restrained foreign policy, which will create fewer injured veterans.
To achieve this vision, we are joining forces to urge Congress to reassert its role in authorizing the use of military force, ensuring our country fights only the wars that are necessary to keep us safe — and to stop giving the executive branch free rein to entangle America in new conflicts.

Public Service Announcement: "localhost" Is Not Necessarily Local
Today I learned that there exist systems (presumably misconfigured, but I'm not sure in what way) where the hostname "localhost" does not resolve locally but is sent to some remote DNS server, and then in some cases the DNS server returns a remote address (e.g. a server providing landing pages stuffed with ads).
This was breaking rr, since rr tells gdb to use (e.g.) the command "target extended-remote :1234", and apparently gdb resolves "localhost" to get the address to connect to. I've fixed rr to pass "127.0.0.1" as an explicit local address, but who knows what other software is broken in such a configuration — possibly in insecure ways?
Hm... where's the bug here? In gdb, for not recognizing 'localhost' as something it should just automatically resolve to the current host? Or elsewhere?
T try to avoid 127.0.0.1 just to avoid being pegged to IPv4. Is there no IP-agnostic way of referring to the current host not susceptible to this?
Robert 14 August 2017 at 09:41
I don't know how to (reliably, in practice) obtain a string that will resolve to a loopback address when we don't know which of IPv4/IPv6 is running.
I hope it's harmless in practice to configure an IPv4 loopback address even if IPv4 is otherwise disabled. And I suspect not doing so would break a lot of stuff. So maybe we should just rely on that, especially if there's no other way to reliably get a loopback address.
I've run into issues before where 127.0.0.1 didn't work on systems that shifted to IPv6. This was in a fairly controlled environment, so maybe it's less likely to break in other contexts?
If that is ever a problem for us I guess I'll have to write the code to enumerate interfaces and figure out which address to use :-(
Xidorn Quan 14 August 2017 at 09:17
FWIW there is a recent IETF RFC proposing making localhost localhost: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-west-let-localhost-be-localhost-04
That's good to know, but I wonder when we'll be able to rely on that.
Brain 14 August 2017 at 15:53
There's nothing special about localhost, it is just a name like everything else, so the name needs resolving. Fortunately all OSes including windows has a hosts file (manual DNS registry), where 127.0.0.1 and ::1 has the name localhost. If the name was not resolved by the hosts file, then DNS server(s) is contacted in order to resolve the name. So if some malicious software has updates the hosts file to make localhost resolve to some remote ip then it will - no magic, just a name like everything else. In the same manner the hosts file can be updated so license.microsoft.com points to 127.0.0.1 and make the Genuine Validation process believe that it talks to a remote server, and but instead talks to your local machine that could have a process that "answers" everything is genuine no matter what license key was in the request.

Q: How large data can Python Ray handle? Python Ray looks interesting for machine learning applications. However, I wonder how large Python Ray can handle. Is it limited by memory or can it actually handle data that exceeds memory?

A: It currently works best when the data fits in memory (if you're on a cluster, then that means the aggregate memory of the cluster). If the data exceeds the available memory, then Ray will evict the least recently used objects. If those objects are needed later on, they will be reconstructed by rerunning the tasks that created them.

Welcome DrSuz to our cyber family. Read your blog, very interesting and informative.
Anne, I too hate to eat out on Mothers Day. I sent my mother some sweet treats that will arrive the day before, she is 3000 miles away from me.
I haven't seen one son for going on 16 years so thats always amplified at this time. I just have to wait to see whether my eldest son shows up or calls or whatever he may do now that he has a new girlfriend. I call Mothers Day a crap shot, Vegas terminology! This is my first year in over a dozen with Reeta and Rosee gone that I may be completely alone.
With my honey gone, and both sons at opposite ends of the country, I'll be alone, too. My boys usually call me, or I call my daughters-in-law to thank them for being such great mothers to my grandchildren. I don't think I've ever gone out to eat on Mother's Day, or any other holiday for that matter - too many people.
Oh boy, I remember those disappointed feelings when my sons little by little went their own ways. It was hard and it hurt. But believe me, the best way to keep them is not to be clingy. You are doing the right thing by not showing your hurt.
Once your son marries, you will see...he'll come around again,...alot.
I hope that you are feeling better now, girl? Sometimes things just get to be too much..
Avalon Blondie, unfortunately we can't pick the mates or friends for our kids. MY sons new friend is certainly not someone I'd have picked. Thank Gode she isn't into visiting or I'd probably have bitten my tongue off by now... Hows your situation going these days?

Omega-3 Treatment for Diabetes Patients Described as Among the Decade's Most Noteworthy
Endocrinology Network Editorial Staff
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved an omega-3 fatty acid treatment as an add-on treatment to statin therapy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in adults with elevated triglyceride levels.
TheU.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved an omega-3 fatty acid treatment as an add-on treatment to statin therapy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in adults with elevated triglyceride levels.
It is the first treatment approved as add-on therapy for this condition.
Icosapent ethyl (Vascepa, Amarin Pharma) is designed to lower high triglycerides levels in adults without raising bad cholesterol (LDL-C), which over-the-counter fish oil supplements can do.
In order to receive icosapent ethyl, adults must have an LDL-C of at least 150 milligrams per deciliter, either established cardiovascular disease or diabetes, and two or more additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Patients are advised to continue physical activity and maintain a healthy diet.
Icosapent ethyl was approved in 2012 by the FDA as an adjunct treatment to diet to reduce triglyceride levels in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia of at least 500 mg/dL. The new indication announced in December is based on REDUCE-IT, a study of 8,179 adults with a history of coronary artery, cerebrovascular, carotid artery and peripheral artery disease, or diabetes with cardiovascular disease risk factors.
REDUCE-IT found that icosapent ethyl reduced total primary endpoint events (61 vs. 89 per 1,000 patient-years for icosapent ethyl versus placebo, respectively; rate ratio: 0.70; 95% confidence interval: 0.62 to 0.78; p < 0.0001). And, the treatment reduced totals for each component of the primary composite endpoint, as well as the total key secondary endpoint events (32 vs. 44 per 1,000 patient-years for icosapent ethyl versus placebo, respectively; rate ratio: 0.72; 95% confidence interval: 0.63 to 0.82; p < 0.0001).
"Ultimately, among statin-treated patients with elevated triglycerides and cardiovascular disease or diabetes, multiple statistical models demonstrate that icosapent ethyl substantially reduces the burden of first, subsequent, and total ischemic events," wrote the authors of a REDUCE-IT study published in June in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
The treatment was found to be associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and increased risk of bleeding events. The most common side effects included musculoskeletal pain, peripheral edema, atrial fibrillation and arthralgia.
Both the American Heart Association and American Society for Preventive Cardiology have recognized icosapent ethyl in combination with statins to reduce residual atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), as among one of the most important advances in preventive cardiology of the decade.
"While many prior trials of fish oil therapy have failed to show benefit, the recent Reduction of Cardiovascular Events With EPA - Intervention Trial (REDUCE-IT) testing the efficacy of icosapent ethyl has shown dramatic benefit in further addressing residual atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk beyond statin therapy not only in those with known ASCVD, but also in diabetic patients with multiple risk factors," wrote Nathan D. Wong, M.D., of the University of California, Irvine. Dr. Wong and colleagues addressed these and other key cardiovascular disease findings of the past decade in the December 6 issue of Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine.

Discover the amazing natural heritage of Exmoor's churches with new online guide
Seven delightful churches from the Exmoor National Park are included in a new online visitor's guide on the National Churches Trust's ExploreChurches website
Exmoor National Park is best known for its incredible landscapes and wildlife, but did you know that it also contains some of the UK's most beautiful churches and chapels?
Now, the National Churches Trust is making it easy for anyone visiting a National Park to also discover this amazing national heritage.
Seven delightful churches from the Exmoor National Park are included in a new online visitor's guide on the National Churches Trust's ExploreChurches website. All are amazing and unexpectedly sacred spots, places where you will feel the connection with the Park's landscape and can be wowed by their art and architecture.
The guide includes top tips on the best churches to visit each park and some stunning photographs to whet the appetite of heritage lovers.
Over two hundred churches and chapels found in the UK's 15 National Parks are featured in the new online visitor's guide, which has been produced to mark 70 years since the first National Park was created.
Some of the top churches to visit in Exmoor include:
· St Beuno, Culbone: The church is considered to be the smallest in England, seats about 30 people and is very atmospheric as it is lit by candlelight. It can't be accessed by road, so you'll need to park on a narrow track and then walk a mile and a half through woodland before the church appears. It's a really magical experience.
· All Saints, Selworthy: The unique gleaming lime and tallow washed walls of All Saints overlooking the Exmoor hills give a foretaste of the wonderfully light and spacious interior with its slender white pillars and soaring wagon roofs. The churchyard is the perfect spot for a picnic, or to just stand a take in the amazing panoramic view!
· St George, Dunster: An uneasy truce between priory and parish characterised the early history of this church: the townsfolk used the west end, while the monks worshipped at a separate high altar at the east end. The most notable feature inside is the astonishing screen, dating from 1498. Take time to look closely at the exquisite carving.
· St Peter, Timberscombe: A tranquil and sacred space with lots of heart. This 15th century church contains lots to enjoy including a rare vaulted wooden rood screen and loft, Jacobean pulpit, restored wall paintings, and a piscina dating from 1400s. A peal of 8 bells, unusual in a small country church, is practised and rung weekly. The churchyard cross dates from 1300s and the churchyard yew tree is notable, more than 440 years old.
Bill Bryson, a Vice-President of the National Churches Trust said: "It is impossible to overstate the importance of churches to this country.
"Nothing else in the built environment has the emotional and spiritual resonance, the architectural distinction, the ancient, reassuring solidity of a parish church.
"To me, they are the physical embodiment of all that is best and most enduring in Britain.
"So, when you visit the Exmoor National Park, why not discover some beautiful churches in this most breath taking and treasured landscape.
Sarah Crossland, engagement manager for the National Churches Trust said: "This year marks the 70th anniversary of the designation of the Peak District as the UKs first National Park.
"From the rugged wilds of the Cairngorms in Scotland and the ancient woodlands of the New Forest in southern England to the golden shores of the Pembrokeshire Coast in Wales, all the UK's National Parks are truly special places. And so are the hundreds of churches and chapels in the National Parks.
"Our new ExploreChurches online visitor guide makes it easy for visitors to National Parks to also discover some of the UK's most beautiful churches.
"These stunning buildings, many of which date back to medieval times, are the jewels in the UK's heritage crown. No visit to a National Park is complete without discovering these beautiful churches, each with an amazing story to tell."

House Grimm of Greyshield rules the island Greyshield, one of the Shield Islands of the Reach, from their castle, Grimston.
Neither their arms nor their words appear in the books, but according to semi-canon sources they blazon their shield as an iron escutcheon with silver studs on a grey-green field strewn with longships proper.
During the Dance of the Dragons, Lord Grimm declared Greyshield for the blacks.
The Shield Islands are a considerable sea strength and are the first line of defense when the ironborn try to sail up the Mander to sack the wealth of the Reach. Hotho Harlaw reports that Lord Guthor Grimm's septon decided the gods had spoken and surrendered the castle Grimston after Ser Harras Harlaw defeated seven men. After the conquest of the Shield Islands, King Euron Greyjoy gives Greyshield to Harras. Lord Grimm is kept a prisoner of the ironmen at Grimston according to the tidings that reach King's Landing.
Lord Guthor Grimm, Lord of Greyshield. Held captive in his own keep, now ruled by Ser Harras Harlaw.
Unnamed Lord Grimm, who suppoted the blacks during the Dance of the Dragons.
Unnamed Grimm, one of the 33 maiden from the Reach proposed by Samantha Tarly as a suitable wife for King Aegon III Targaryen.

RVDDW fans rejoice, the 2012 Spring/Summer look book is here!
Choice cuts include the magnificent "Training Montage" shirt, and the long-awaited "I Need Amino acid Now and Must Take Enough breaks" shirt. I know I've been waiting for the chance to have that phrase on a t-shirt. If you haven't, take a break, drink amino acids and reconsider your position in life.
These join such great company as the classic "Who says the striker can't grappling?" shirt, which is sadly way out of print.
Just got a package from Nihon Auctions. I was able to bid on and win two great items that I had my eye on for a while.
I remember seeing the "DOPE" logo on a hoodie by rvddw a while ago, but by the time I found out about the item, it was no longer in print. Items like this are pressed in a limited run and they sell out fast. I couldn't get it from reversal directly, and without access to Japanese auction services I had no chance to acquire such items without traveling to Japan and searching in person.
Hi Everyone, Janice here, to shamelessly advertise my #1 favorite tattoo shop, Red Rocket Tattoo!
