Le tappâ, très rarement chanté aujourd'hui, est un style de chant apparenté au dhrupad.

Dans ce style chaque note de la sévère mélodie du dhrupad est délicatement ornée de petites broderies et de trilles qui doivent toutefois respecter la ligne sobre et noble de la mélodie.
Ces broderies sont appelées mirkia. Les grandes vocalises du khyal sont interdites dans le tappâ.

La légende prétend que le tappâ a pour origine un genre de chant populaire chanté par les chameliers. Le grand créateur du tappâ fut un musicien appelé Shori qui vivait à la cour de Asaf ud Daulah de Oudh au .
Le tappâ était très apprécié par l'empereur Muhammad Shâh.

C'est l'un des genres les plus difficiles et plus raffinés de la musique indienne.

About the cook: 27 year old millenial who believes in simple, but tasteful. Graduated Kennesaw State University with my Culinary degree. Taught Culinary Arts in high school. Looking to soon open a restaurant.
About the dish: A new found favorite for people who love less fat, but still get that southern taste in a cookie. Who wants to ride around eating banana pudding from a cup when you can eat it in a cookie form and be just as guilty. I am all about creativity and pushing the envelope. Being from the south has brought a new perspective to the word "Southern Banana Pudding"
Cream butter and both sugars together until creamy, add egg and mashed up banana, make sure there are no banana chunks. Add vanilla.
In separate bowl sift flour, French pudding, salt, and baking soda together, add dry mixture to creamed mixture. Blend until mix looks like a consistency of cookie dough. Add your crushed wafers and white chocolate chips to batter, beat until well mixed. Take a 9X13 cookie pan and pour cookie dough onto greased baking pan. Evenly flatten out dough, so that it bakes evenly. Add chopped vanilla wafers to top. Make sure vanilla wafers are placed in cookie sticking out. Place in over for 15-20 minutes depending on your oven. Pull out let cool, cut and enjoy. All excitement, but less dairy and egg.
Cookies last about 2 weeks in closed containers or a month in freezer or longer.
You can make individual cookies or one big pan, both are equally delicious.
Cheers to a southern Banana Pudding Cookie!!!!


Profectum comes from the Latin for "advancement or progress," and the Profectum Foundation is dedicated to advancing the development of all children, adolescents and adults with autism and other developmental and mental health challenges.
Our foundation builds upon the Developmental, Individual Differences, Relationship (DIR®) model developed by Drs. Stanley Greenspan and Serena Wieder, which is central to our work. We also believe that the interventional approaches that parents and practitioners use to help individuals with special needs must advance and evolve to incorporate new ideas, new knowledge and reflect the most up-to-date research and neuroscience – they should never be static and must grow as our population grows.
Why Train with Profectum? The DIR-FCD™ Model Started Here!
Our Faculty of over 60 professionals (including Serena Wieder, PhD who co-created the DIR model with Stanley Greenspan, MD and started the DIR Institute) collectively has over 1000+ years of experience working with individuals with special needs and has invested many hundreds of hours to create the FCD model to bring the DIR model to its next level.
Over the last 30 years Profectum's Faculty has brought together the leading thought leaders in the fields of medicine, mental health, education, related service providers, technology and the creative arts, to better understand the individual differences of children and adults with developmental challenges. The DIR model is based on typical developmental milestones. Our philosophy presumes competence, that every child can eventually reach these milestones when intervention is tailored to his or her individual learning profile. We also understand how differences in the sensory and motor systems interfere with a person's availability to learning and to attain developmental progress. We therefore created the Foundational Capacities for Development model (FCD model) to provide guidance for adapting the child's experience to provide the emotional foundations needed to maximize progress through the developmental milestones.
Profectum's DIR-FCD™ model provides an integrative framework to help parents and practitioners determine how to modify intervention at various stages of development across the lifespan. Because Every child is unique, life experiences change over time and shape development; intervention, interactions, expectations and relationships should grow with the individual while respecting each person's thoughts, feelings, sense of self and potential.
We welcome parents, clinicians, educators, early intervention specialists and others interested in broadening their understanding of how to use the DIR-FCD™ model to address real life challenges and how parents and professionals use real world solutions to realize each child's potential.

Q: How to limit any user from viewing File revision history - Team Foundation server I want to create an user in online team foundation server. but i need to block user to get lastest of web.config file or user unable to view the revision history. Your kind support is required

A: If object file is on TFS version control, you can add a security policy for it, from right click menu: Advanced->Security on Source control explorer for specific users or groups.

A: Unfortunately, there is no way to restrict a user view file revision history to force him "get the lateset". There is no such permission.
You could block users to get files from source control through permission. Right-click a folder/file in Source Control Explorer and go to Properties -> Security you can manage permissions right down to the folder/branch/file level.

- Keep your eyes peeled for the course markers. This will help you avoid turning a 118km day into a 132km day. We finished the day at 7 hours 38 minutes, but would have been a lot closer to 7 hours if we hadn't missed an important turn.
- Black bears can climb trees!
- Descending can be fun! I've never liked descending. At the absolute worst times (usually right before a dangerous obstacle), my brain short circuits as it struggles to reconcile conflicting messages. There is the conscious instruction to let my bike work its magic (by laying off the brakes), the semi-conscious desire to keep the handle bars from escaping my hands (by gripping my handlebars tightly), and then the primal 'survival' instinct to stop moving toward the danger (by slamming on the brakes). The result ranges from skidding, to an endo, to the person behind me cursing and crashing into me. Today, I discovered that I can manually override this malfunction by using my middle and ring finger on the brakes and using my pointer finger to grip the handle bar. I descended today like never before. I even came up with a new descending song - oh, hoh, I'm the great descender.
- Riding as part of a team is fun and educational. In the last two days, my teammates have taught me a bit about riding, a bit about myself and a bit about working with people. I've sometimes viewed teammates as adding a challenge to the experience, but I am learning that they can be quite the opposite.
We escaped today with almost no rain. We may not be so lucky tomorrow. But, I'm not going to spend too much time worrying about that. Time to sleep.
Great points you make, Tori, I can see your analytical mind is working with your enthusiastic heart to make this a great experience. Best of luck tomorrow and of course for TransRockies. The word of your current race experience and success has been circulated to all the Team Viking membership, you are in the spotlight this week. Keep up the good work!
Not that I am qualifed to "coach" a mountain biker, but be sure you look ahead and pick the point you want to ride the bike, don't look at the obstacle you want to avoid. We tend to go where we look!
It's good you're learning things as you go. As for the course markers, if people are all caught up in the experience of the race, they often don't have the presence of mind to observe what's around them. It's a differentiator between "experienced" racers and "newbie" racers. Always eating is the right thing to do, and I know you do it on your road bike... it's another example of how the race excitement sometimes takes away from things you know. Races of that scale, how fast you're going this minute have very little bearing, it's more how fast you're able to maintain for the last hour of a stage. People can be flying or standing still as they hobble to the finish.
On the descending front, you can also set up your brakes to be a little closer to the bars to facilitate the finger action you're doing if that helps. I've always done it with just the index fingers on the levers. Remember, brake before turns then roll through with your knobbies gripping. You only have a given amount of traction, and braking can overcome that traction way easier than cornering can. Once you're done with the downhills out there, you can ride with Nutbrown to work on your descending. You'll be a pro after that.
And live in fear of that being hit from behind incident. I say that only because I saw a guy at La Ruta get hit from behind in similar fashion, and it ripped his derailleur off. As he stood there looking in disbelief, the guy who rear ended him said something along the lines of "bummer" and rode away. Slow sinking feeling follows, especially when you're hours from anywhere, and need to convert to single speed!
So now when you are back road riding, will we hear you merrily singing Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again" as you motor along?


Merry Southie Christmas – my third least favorite time of year, right after parade day and Country Fest. Every September our quiet little seaside community gets an influx of new residents, and every September I do my best to extend a hearty welcome and share a few tips for a seamless Southie transition…and every September a few weasels pop into the comment section and spread their toxic negativity, but that's neither here nor there.
How did the move go? Depending on what day you moved it was either a brisk early fall day or one million degrees, so either good for you or that sucked. I'd like to welcome you the greatest place in the world to live, South Boston (yes, I do think South Boston is the greatest place in the world to live, and I think everyone should feel that way about wherever they live). I'm Southie born and raised, and I like to fancy myself a bit of an expert, so let me help you acclimate to your new hood and make the most of living in God's country.
I know you just moved and you probably want to just plop on the couch and watch whatever hip young people watch (what do you watch by way, I'm almost done with my She Wrote re-watch and need something to binge) but trust me. Head out and walk a few blocks in every direction, take in everything your new neighborhood has to offer. You'll learn where to grab a coffee, a sub, a slush, where to take your dry cleaning, what bus lines you're near, and who knows what else. Oh, and while you're out you'll come across other humans, smile at them and say hi.
Now that you live in South Boston your life will be ruled by two days every week, street cleaning and garbage day. Learn what days your street has street cleaning and garbage day and commit them to memory. There is nothing worse than walking to your car and finding out it was towed, I know because it has happened to me many, many times. Now for garbage day, whatever day of the week it is, you can put your garbage on the curb the night before, in actual barrels with lids that snap, these are non-negotiable. And please promise me you'll do better with your trash going forward because I saw how some of ya'll moved in and you're gross.
I have no real tips here. Parking is a nightmare; may God grant you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change. And speaking of God, for her sake pull up to the bumper when you park.
There are good neighbors and there are bad neighbors, please don't be a bad neighbor. Yeah, you're excited to live in Southie and you want to invite everyone at Lincoln back to your place after last call for an afterparty on a Tuesday, but that's not a good neighbor move. Some other bad neighbor behavior I've witnessed from new (and not so new) residents, peeing on the sidewalk, blocking a driveway, the aforementioned trash, having drunk screaming fights at 3 am public vomiting, and some other things I won't mention because I'm too much of a lady.Be a good neighbor, don't be an a-hole.
Get a library card. I know I sound like your nana, but do it. In addition to paper books, you'll get access to audio and e-books, museum passes, ferry tickets, DCR parking passes, kayak rentals, AND MORE!
Our Stop and Shop is terrible, you're going to want to get your produce almost anywhere else.
SLOW DOWN. The speed limit is 25mph, that doesn't mean you can go 40 on East Broadway. And if you are speeding I reserve the right to throw eggs at your car.
East Third Street near the Post Office is an anxiety attack inducing nightmare.
You don't have to wait in line at bars, you can walk a couple blocks in any direction and find a bar without a line.
Go to Sully's on a rainy weekday, you'll be in and out in minutes.
Go to K&8th for meat while you still can.
I'm sure I forgot a few things, I'm only human, and old but everything you'll ever need to know about Southie can be found by reading Caught In Southie (which you're already doing, so good job) and listening to our podcast, Caught Up, A Podcast From South Boston. I hope you love Southie and stick around for a long while, unless you're a sucky neighbor, then I hope you're gone before March.
Follow up on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook too!

Handmade quilts and hats donated to Ronald McDonald house by senior quilting group

By Keyra Kristoffersen | [email protected]
When it comes to donating to folks in need, the quilting group from Sagewood at Daybreak takes its responsibilities seriously.
"I like doing stuff like this because I've been blessed and had so much in my life, and some of these people, they just can't help it," said Helen McCarty, who earned the nickname "Popcorn Lady" after she began churning out around four to five beanie hats a week once she relearned how to do hooking with yarn.
The quilter's club got off the ground two years ago when Carolyn Smetcer arrived at the senior residence living home and donated her quilting frames and yarn after spending a lifetime creating.
"I wouldn't be happy if I didn't have a quilt up," said Smeltcer, who gathered a few of her friends together to tie quilts and chat. "It's been fun, and we've made, I would say, 40 quilts in the two years I've been here."
At first, it began as a place for the ladies to get together, chat, learn new things about their fellow residents and do something that could keep them busy, or out of mischief, as the club agreed. But after giving away a few of the quilts to some of the staff, others offered to buy the quilts for family members and friends. The group found that they preferred to keep things strictly charitable and so has members of their staff, like Kelsey Meha, find organizations in need of help.
"The biggest thing was it was something they could contribute to the community and it made us all feel good to do that," said Meha, who has been at Sagewood for two years and organizes activities, exercise classes and events for the residents.
Meha believes everyone needs to have a purpose in their life, and when other staff members brought up the possibility of donating to those in the most need, she put it to the group to decide how best they'd like to contribute. The Sagewood ladies worked for several months and were able to donate more than 25 assorted beanies, including some for premature babies, five tie fleece blankets, four quilted blankets and several sets of infant mittens to the Ronald McDonald House in Salt Lake City.
Their next project involves making as many yarn beanies as they can, filling them with hygiene products by July 13 and taking them to downtown Salt Lake and giving them to homeless men and women in preparation of the winter. The hygiene kits will include shampoos, soaps and toothbrushes donated by the Sagewood residents that the shelters can hand out.
"I like to be busy; I like to be constructive," said Jodi Smith, who has been dubbed "Official Puff Ball Maker" by her friends because she makes most of the toppers that go on the hats. "I like to help people in need, so it just kind of fit my modus operandi,"
Even when a resident has difficulty making actual quilts or hats, the group is able to use their skills in other ways like rolling yarn into balls to expedite the creative process. Judy is one of the quilting group who couldn't keep up with her previous life in quilting and crafts after a stroke but discovered that she could easily make loom hats with her lessened mobility and taught other interested ladies.
"There are a lot of people here who have a lot of really good talents," Smith said.
The senior residents at Sagewood at Daybreak have also been visited by elementary students from Daybreak Academy in support of the Longest Day program, an intergenerational activity sponsored by the Alzheimer's Association to raise awareness and combat Alzheimer's disease, along with dementia, which afflicts approximately 30,000 Utah residents.

Медиоклавикуларна линија или средња клавикуларна линија (лат. Lineа medioclavicularis) једна је од  оријентационих линија у анатомији на прењој страни тела која служи за ближе одређивање положаја појединих органа на телу. Паралелан је са брадавичном линијом.

Анатомија
Медиоклавикуларна линија у анатомском смислу је оријентациона линија која пролази вертикално кроз средину кључне кости (клавикулу). У свом горњем делу пролази кроз средину кључне кости, а код мушкараца се протеже медијално од брадавице. Потом прелази преко обалног руба близу краја 9. ребрене хрскавице и продужава се до бутине, пролазећи кроз прегиб препона на пола пута између предње горње илијачне кврге и пубичне симфизе.

Њен положај се често поклапа са мамиларном линијом, али је таква локализација често дискутабилна због различитог положаја брадавица дојке.

BENETTI LAUNCHES THE SECOND MEDITERRANEO 116' BM002
The storied Viareggio-based shipyard provided the backdrop on August 9 for the launch of the second Mediterraneo 116' unit, a 35.5-meter fiberglass and carbon fiber yacht in the Class Displacement series that will be ready for delivery next October 30.
Like the previous model, the exteriors are designed by Giorgio Maria Cassetta, while the interior design has been developed by the shipyard Interior Style Department in collaboration with the owner's designer of choice. Sleek, streamlined contours on the outside are matched by interiors offering the ultimate in livability and seamless continuity of space, in which light plays a key role, in part through the use of big glazed surfaces and a crystal glass door.
Comfort, luminosity and design were the key concepts when designing the owner and guest spaces. Outside, there are two big dining areas (including one over-6 meters wide in the huge cockpit on the Upper Deck) and various extensive spaces furnished with sunloungers, sofas, deckchairs and armchairs. The sundeck deserves special mention, offering a total area of more than 80 square meters and a continuous walkable surface almost 16 meters long.
Inside, the Main Deck stands out for the roomy lounge area, consisting of dining and relaxation spaces, each with three-meter long windows for a sensation of continuity with the world outside. The full beam Master Suite is situated on this deck in the bow, with a studio and cabin that also feature big glazed surfaces, both 3.4 meters long and free of uprights. The four guest cabins on the Lower Deck consist of two facing Vip cabins aft with double beds and two guest cabins with twin beds and pulman beds that allows to host 2 more guests on board.
The crew accommodation for a total of seven people is provided by three cabins, plus the captain's cabin on the upper deck next to the helm station.
The two CAT ACER C32 Rating D (1600hp @ 2300 rpm) drive the yacht to a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of about 14 knots. The yacht's range at 10 knots is 3,000 nautical miles, with stabilization at anchor and underway provided by electric fin stabilizer.

Q: QGIS Action which load .asc I have a grid layer (lidar_cortina) with "NAME" and "percorso"(path) coloumns:

I'm trying to write an QGIS action that loads file .asc from a grid layer.
qgis.utils.iface.addRasterLayer("[%percorso%]", "[%NAME%]")

but It doesn't work and the message "the command can not be executed" appears
If I use the console loading one .asc it works well
qgis.utils.iface.addRasterLayer("//rvphnas02pw/Remote_Sensing/Lidar/2017_Lidar_Cortina/SECONDA_CONSEGNA/Lidar/DTM/P740451578_0101_100_DTM.asc", "P740451578_0101_100")

Any suggestion.
UPDATE
If I use this code, it works well:
qgis.utils.iface.addRasterLayer('//rvphnas02pw/Remote_Sensing/Lidar/2017_Lidar_Cortina/SECONDA_CONSEGNA/Lidar/DTM/[%NAME%]_DTM.asc', '[%NAME%]')

Using the code of: Developing QGIS Action which loads a raster
I have write an other qgis action to open .asc file from a grid layer with "NAME" column:
from PyQt4.QtCore import QFileInfo,QSettings
from qgis.core import QgsRasterLayer, QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem

vl = QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayersByName('lidar_cortina')[0]
qgis.utils.iface.setActiveLayer(vl)
root = QgsProject.instance().layerTreeRoot()
group_name = "lidar"
group = root.findGroup(group_name)
if group == None:
    group = root.addGroup("lidar")
else:
    pass
fileName ='D:/GIS/Dati/lidar/[% NAME %]_DTM.asc'
fileInfo = QFileInfo(fileName)
baseName = '[% NAME %]'
qgis.utils.iface.addRasterLayer(fileName, baseName)
rlayer = QgsRasterLayer(fileName, baseName)
crs = QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem()
crs.createFromSrid(32632)
rlayer.setCrs(crs)
QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(rlayer, False)
group.insertChildNode(-1, QgsLayerTreeLayer(rlayer))

but It doesn't work.

Using python console to open one .asc file with the same code of error message, It works:
from PyQt4.QtCore import QFileInfo,QSettings
from qgis.core import QgsRasterLayer, QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem

vl = QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayersByName('lidar_cortina_prova')[0]
qgis.utils.iface.setActiveLayer(vl)
root = QgsProject.instance().layerTreeRoot()
group_name = "lidar"
group = root.findGroup(group_name)
if group == None:
    group = root.addGroup("lidar")
else:
    pass

fileName ='D:/GIS/Dati/lidar/P740451578_0101_100_DTM.asc'
baseName='P740451578_0101_100'
fileInfo = QFileInfo(fileName)
rlayer = QgsRasterLayer(fileName, baseName)
crs = QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem()
crs.createFromSrid(32632)
rlayer.setCrs(crs)
QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(rlayer, False)
group.insertChildNode(-1, QgsLayerTreeLayer(rlayer))

I can't understand
Any suggestion is welcome.
UPDATE 2
changing the path with the suggestion in comment of @lrssvt, I obtain the same error:

A: This could be due to how the path of the file is interpreted from python.
I guess you can do the following edit to solve the issue:
from:

fileName = 'D:/GIS/Dati/lidar/P740451578_0101_100_DTM.asc'

to:
fileName = 'D:\\GIS\\Dati\\lidar\\P740451578_0101_100_DTM.asc'

If you have the path in attribute table you can edit it using the field calculator with the expression:
replace("path", '/', '\\\\')

Robert Michael acquired many Citrine crystals and has been faceting them over time, including these two matching 6mm round gems weighing .8 carats each. Robert then set the gems in Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings. However, the Sterling Silver heart-shaped components are actually Post Earrings.


Most everybody feels like this on occassion, please join me in escaping to the land of pretty golden notes. This track on '909' was the first recorded on the album. I do all the parts solo, vocals and instrumentation, to a click track which provided the percussion. The very next day I came home to find a band standing in front of my home, a group of excellent musicians, the Daddycats, and they are playing on all the other five cuts on this album.

Home Climate Change Global methane emissions soar to record high
Global methane emissions soar to record high
Global emissions of methane have reached the highest levels on record. Increases are being driven primarily by growth of emissions from coal mining, oil and natural gas production, cattle and sheep ranching, and landfills.
Between 2000 and 2017, levels of the potent greenhouse gas barreled up toward pathways that climate models suggest will lead to 3-4 degrees Celsius of warming before the end of this century. This is a dangerous temperature threshold at which scientists warn that natural disasters, including wildfires, droughts and floods, and social disruptions such as famines and mass migrations become almost commonplace. The findings are outlined in two papers published July 14 in Earth System Science Data and Environmental Research Letters by researchers with the Global Carbon Project, an initiative led by Stanford University scientist Rob Jackson.
In 2017, the last year when complete global methane data are available, Earth's atmosphere absorbed nearly 600 million tons of the colorless, odorless gas that is 28 times more powerful than carbon dioxide at trapping heat over a 100-year span. More than half of all methane emissions now come from human activities. Annual methane emissions are up 9 percent, or 50 million tons per year, from the early 2000s, when methane concentrations in the atmosphere were relatively stable.
In terms of warming potential, adding this much extra methane to the atmosphere since 2000 is akin to putting 350 million more cars on the world's roads or doubling the total emissions of Germany or France. "We still haven't turned the corner on methane," said Jackson, a professor of Earth system science in Stanford's School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences (Stanford Earth).
Growing sources of methane
Globally, fossil fuel sources and cows are twin engines powering methane's upward climb. "Emissions from cattle and other ruminants are almost as large as those from the fossil fuel industry for methane," Jackson said. "People joke about burping cows without realizing how big the source really is."
Throughout the study period, agriculture accounted for roughly two-thirds of all methane emissions related to human activities; fossil fuels contributed most of the remaining third. However, those two sources have contributed in roughly equal measure to the increases seen since the early 2000s.
Methane emissions from agriculture rose to 227 million tons of methane in 2017, up nearly 11 percent from the 2000-2006 average. Methane from fossil fuel production and use reached 108 million tons in 2017, up nearly 15 percent from the earlier period.
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, carbon emissions plummeted as manufacturing and transportation ground to a halt. "There's no chance that methane emissions dropped as much as carbon dioxide emissions because of the virus," Jackson said. "We're still heating our homes and buildings, and agriculture keeps growing."
Emissions around the globe
Methane emissions rose most sharply in Africa and the Middle East; China; and South Asia and Oceania, which includes Australia and many Pacific islands. Each of these three regions increased emissions by an estimated 10 to 15 million tons per year during the study period. The United States followed close behind, increasing methane emissions by 4.5 million tons, mostly due to more natural gas drilling, distribution and consumption.
"Natural gas use is rising quickly here in the U.S. and globally," Jackson said. "It's offsetting coal in the electricity sector and reducing carbon dioxide emissions, but increasing methane emissions in that sector." The U.S. and Canada are also producing more natural gas. "As a result, we're emitting more methane from oil and gas wells and leaky pipelines," said Jackson, who is also a senior fellow at Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment and Precourt Institute for Energy.
Europe stands out as the only region where methane emissions have decreased over the last two decades, in part by tamping down emissions from chemical manufacturing and growing food more efficiently. "Policies and better management have reduced emissions from landfills, manure and other sources here in Europe. People are also eating less beef and more poultry and fish," said Marielle Saunois of the Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin in France, lead author of the paper in Earth System Science Data.
Tropical and temperate regions have seen the biggest jump in methane emissions. Boreal and polar systems have played a lesser role. Despite fears that melting in the Arctic may unlock a burst of methane from thawing permafrost, the researchers found no evidence for increasing methane emissions in the Arctic—at least through 2017.
Human driven emissions are in many ways easier to pin down than those from natural sources. "We have a surprisingly difficult time identifying where methane is emitted in the tropics and elsewhere because of daily to seasonal changes in how waterlogged soils are," said Jackson, who also leads a group at Stanford working to map wetlands and waterlogged soils worldwide using satellites, flux towers and other tools.
According to Jackson and colleagues, curbing methane emissions will require reducing fossil fuel use and controlling fugitive emissions such as leaks from pipelines and wells, as well as changes to the way we feed cattle, grow rice and eat. "We'll need to eat less meat and reduce emissions associated with cattle and rice farming," Jackson said, "and replace oil and natural gas in our cars and homes."
Feed supplements such as algae may help to reduce methane burps from cows, and rice farming can transition away from permanent waterlogging that maximizes methane production in low-oxygen environments. Aircraft, drones and satellites show promise for monitoring methane from oil and gas wells. Jackson said, "I'm optimistic that, in the next five years, we'll make real progress in that area."

Cammo House 663
Cammo has a strong early-18th-century landscape structure surrounding a country seat. This provided an enduring landscape framework despite later remodelling and the lack of 20th-century management. Parts of avenues, a roundel planting and some woodland survive from the original scheme.
Sir John Clerk laid out a formal designed landscape in the early-18th century. This was remodelled in the late-18th and early-19th century as a landscape park. In 1980 the estate was acquired by the National Trust for Scotland and is now managed in association with the City of Edinburgh Council by the Cammo Advisory Committee.
Visitor Facilities
Cammo Park is open all year round. The visitor centre has restricted opening times.

An early 18th century formal estate landscape, wilderness and gardens that were remodelled in the late 18th century/ early 19th century as a landscape park. A fine example of a strong, landscape structure, surrounding a 'Country Seat' which, once established, provided an enduring landscape framework.
Location and Setting
Cammo lies on the north-west outskirts of Edinburgh, some 5km from the city centre, on the west side of the A90. The designed landscape of Craigiehall (q.v. Inventory, Volume 5, p.35-41) lies on the northern and western perimeters of the Cammo Estate. Urban development (20th century) has grown to meet Cammo Estate on its eastern boundary and has developed along its northern edge, between the park and the River Almond.
Cammo lies on the edge of the broad, Lothians lowlands plain and is set out on the east-facing slopes of Lennie Hill, one of the many higher areas of igneous outcrops which interrupt the more gently rolling farmlands. The south park rises up to form Mauseley Hill, a more rugged area of ground. A principal vista, part of Clerk's scheme, leads from the south front of Cammo House to focus on distant Spittal Hill, within the Pentlands. Some sections of the formal lime avenue (Tilia x eurupaea), which line this vista, survive.
To the north the land falls away towards the Firth of Forth coastal plain, and from some areas there are long views of Fife to the north. There is a major view into the site from the A902 (Clermiston-North Gyle), where the view focuses on the water tower acting as an eyecatcher, glimpses of the stables and the distinct outline of Mauseley Hill with a clump on its summit. This is a familiar local landmark.
The extent of the designed landscape has changed little since Clerk's time. It is bounded by Cammo Road to the north, Cammo Walk to the east, Craig Road to the south, and farmland and Turnhouse Golf Course to the west. Roy's Survey (1747-55) gives little detail except for the avenue to the east.
The most notable change has been in the diversion of Cammo Road to the north. Knox (1812) indicates a road through the estate, north of the present entrance and across the north side of the house. In the mid 19th century this was diverted northwards to run closer to the River Almond (1853, OS 6") and still survives as a track from Cammo Home Farm. The strip of land left between the River Almond and the new route of the Cammo Road effectively separated the river from the designed landscape, and was subsequently developed for housing (20th century).
Landscape Components
The ruins of Cammo House sit on a podium and consist of the south-facing façade of the ground floor including the front door and pediment. A Single-span Bridge, with dated keystone, 1762, and initials IW for the Watson family, carries the east drive to the house. To the north of this, a rustic Rubble Footbridge crosses the burn. The Stables, dated 1811, with initials IW for the Watson family, comprising a U-plan classical stable block, with octagonal tower, were designed by Robert Reid (1774-1856). The Gate Lodge, dated 1879, built by the Watsons, is a single-storey, three bay building. The central front door lintels carries the initials CW. The gateway has four ashlar Gate Piers with pyramidal caps. To the south-west of Cammo House lies a late 18th or early 19th century Walled Garden, with brick-lined rubble walls lined by the remains of potting sheds. The south-facing wall is a hot wall with flues. The eastern entrance to the garden has a pair of banded ashlar gate piers and cornice. An early 19th century circular and castellated Water Tower, formerly Cammo windmill, is situated on low-lying ground. To the south-west of Cammo House is a Canal some 140m long, running ESE-WNW. A sandstone paved platform base to the north-east may be the remains of a timber terminal pavilion with portico of considerable length. A polyhedron dial sundial has been removed from Cammo for safekeeping and is in the care of the National Trust. The shaft is dated 1795, and inscribed Charles Watson.
Drives and Approaches
The drive approaches Cammo House from the east, passes over the Bughtlin Burn and past a 19th century lodge, then along the remains of a lime avenue. Recent planting has somewhat detracted from its formality. As its western end, the drive curves northwards to reach the south front of the house. At this point there is 19th century planting of mixed deciduous and coniferous trees underplanted with cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus). The 18th century approach led through entrance gates into a walled forecourt (Clerk, 1722).
The southern drive no longer exists. By 1822, the Southern Avenue had been thinned and the principal entrance lay along the east drive. Nevertheless the axis of the Southern Avenue survives as a vista.
The broad configuration of Clerk's early 18th century landscape still forms the structure of the modern landscape, his series of regular field compartments ornamented with roundels, and woodlands set out around a formal garden approached by avenues can be clearly traced. The only actual features of Clerk's landscape to survive in themselves are the East Avenue, the South Avenue, the roundel in Sheep Park, a grove in Larch Tree Meadow and the western perimeter belt.
In the north of the estate the position of Clerk's circular clump, the north-east of the house at the junction of the North, South and West Parks survives (Clerk, 1722; Bell, 1805; 1893, OS 25") although a formal walk leading eastwards is now gone. A walk on the north-south axis of the mount extended to the River Almond, its position surviving as a track. The configuration of the park follows Clerk's layout although the planting has not survived, the boundaries alone remaining constant.
To the east of the house, the early 19th century lawns (Bell, 1805) stretched southwards from the north parks and eastwards to the entrance lodge on the perimeter of the estate. Forming these lawns involved the removal of some of Clerk's filed boundaries and planting parkland trees. This area of parkland survives. The early 19th century lawns to the south of the house were created by thinning the South Avenue, although the open vista was kept. This area has become much more enclosed as scrub and mature trees have developed.
A clump of trees, south of the South Avenue and originally planted by Clerk, has disappeared, as has a 19th century plantation that was developed on rising ground behind the clump. Four Mile Park on the south-west perimeter of the park, formed in the early 19th century, is now a golf course. Mauseley Hill, in Sheep Park, is topped by a clump as shown on Clerk's scheme, and a stone dyke also encloses this knoll.
The Bughtlin Burn forms the eastern boundary of the park. Its banks are lined with stone revetting, and it was planted up within a perimeter belt by 1805. a walk along the burn probably survives from this scheme and, by 1805, it extended through Buflan Glen and then along the south banks of the Almond. Housing development now lines the Cammo Road in Buchlan Glen and along the riverside.
No formal gardens or walks survive and the site is managed as a country park, with informal meadows and woodland walks. The area occupied by Clerk's parterres and their enclosing bank can still be discerned on the ground, to the north of the mansion. The 19th century gardens were a development of the 18th century layout and mainly consisted of walks to the south-east of the house, a formal walk leading along the north side of the canal and through the plantation sheltering the walled kitchen garden. A cobbled walk leads from the east end of the canal past the 19th century stableblock.
Areas of the shrubbery survive alongside conifers from the 19th century pinetum to the north and south-west of the house. North and north-west of the house there is an area of 19th century planting including copper beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea'), Chamaecyparis sp., and Abies sp. And the remains of a formal yew hedging.

Reason for Inclusion
An early 18th century formal estate landscape, wilderness and gardens that were remodelled in the late 18th century/ early 19th century as a landscape park. Although somewhat neglected, a strong, landscape structure can still be made out.
Main Phases of Landscape Development
Early 18th century formal landscape, late 18th/ early 19th century landscape park.
Lands at Cammo belonged to the Abbey of Incholm until c.1400 when Robert de Cardney, Bishop of Dunkeld, acquired it. He sold it in 1409 to John de Nudre, and thereafter the estate passed through a series of owners until owned by the Menzies family. John Menzies of Coulterallers (Lanarkshire) either built or remodelled Cammo House in 1693.
In 1710, the estate was sold to Sir John Clerk (1676-1755), later 2nd Baronet of Penicuik, for about £2,800 (Clerk, 1892). It was of a modest size with only 'a few firs on the east side of the house', Clerk noted. A member of the last Scottish Parliament and of the first of Great Britain, he became a commissioner for the Union in 1706-7 and then a Baron of the Court of Exchequer. An amateur architect, he worked with William Adam in the 1720's at his home at Mavisbank (q.v. Inventory, Volume 5, p.160-4), and translated his pastoral and poetic into the landscape design of the family estate of Newbiggin in the early 1700s (q.v. Inventory, Volume 5, p.186-92).
Clerk's The Country Seat, a long poem in blank verse that presents his theories on architecture and landscaping, was written after he had sold Cammo. Although he carried out extensive work at Cammo from 1711 to 1719, his work there does not seem to reflect these principles. Clerk kept a memorandum of his landscape work at Cammo, although exact locations are not always clear. A surviving pre-scale sketch plan of 1722 shows a typical, regular enclosure layout with parks. The landscape design consisted of a framework of axial paths, avenues, vistas and roundels centred on the house and formal gardens. Plantations were located on either side of the house and South Avenue, a double avenue of oaks, was a particularly prominent feature (Hogarth, 1999). Survey and analysis of the modern Cammo landscape has shown that Clerk's structure largely survives and formed the framework for subsequent landscape development.
Following his father's death in 1722, Clerk became 2nd Baronet and sold Cammo as it was inconvenient to live at when the majority of his estates lay 'on the South side of the Pentland hills'. Furthermore his 'father wisht and expected that he should for the most part take up his residence at Penicuik' (Memoirs, p.113). Cammo was bought by John Hog, an Edinburgh tax collector and a relation of Clerk's, who commissioned William Adam to remodel Cammo House. Adam may also have been responsible for designing the formal canal there in the late 1720's. Following financial embarrassments Hog was forced to sell the Cammo estate to James Watson in 1741.
Watson, who had married Lady Helen Hope, daughter of Charles 1st Earl of Hopetoun in 1737, renamed the estate New Saughton and it became their principal residence. Either James Watson, or his son Charles, who succeeded in 1778, was responsible for remodelling the estate in the late 18th century 'landscape' style. The south avenue was thinned, the house was surrounded by open parkland scattered with parkland trees and enclosed by perimeter belts. The formal gardens were removed, a ha-ha was constructed to take advantage of wide, open views of the surrounding countryside and a separate walled garden and glasshouses were constructed.
The layout for the landscape was rather typical and unremarkable for its period, but Clerk's scheme of improvements determined its main structure (Bell, 1805). The main elements of Clerk's design, field lines, boundary plantations and East Avenue were incorporated into the parkland.
The estate remained in the Watson family until 1898. Late 1800's development included a pinetum, planted to the west of the house. After 1898 the Maitland Tennant family owned the estate and there were few new developments. The northern and eastern policies were leased to the Cramond Brig Golf Club from 1910 to 1929. Following the Club's relocation to Dalmahoy the course became farmland. In 1980 the estate was acquired by the National Trust for Scotland and is now managed in association with the City of Edinburgh Council.

6 Ways to Support the Mental Health of Your LGBTQ Loved Ones
Written byReina Gattuso
As rainbow streamers fill the air and LGBTQ representation fills the streets, June is a time to celebrate LGBTQ identity and the contributions of the queer movement. Pride is a joyful time for the LGBTQ community and allies alike. It's also a time to reaffirm our commitment to creating a more equal world. That's why this Pride, we invite allies and supporters of the LGBTQ community — which should be everyone! — to show up for the mental health and wellbeing of their LGBTQ loved ones and the community at large.
While in the past, psychologists considered gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, and trans identity to be a mental illness, today's professional standards recognize queer identity as normal and healthy. However, the LGBTQ community continues to face devastatingly high rates of mental illness, including elevated rates of depression, substance abuse, and suicide. Harassment is also common, with 65% of LGBTQ people reportedly experiencing some form of anti-LGBTQ harassment or discrimination in 2016.
Transgender people face a particularly heavy burden, with increased rates of harassment resulting in a staggering 40 percent of transgender people who have reported attempting suicide. These mental health struggles are due in large part to the effects of discrimination.
These facts are alarming, but they're not an necessarily indication of what the future holds. As LGBTQ people have become more visible, resources have emerged to encourage and support their mental health. Change doesn't come by itself, however, and the gains of the LGBTQ community are thanks to the tireless work of LGBTQ activists, and the support of allies. If you're an ally, you can be part of this movement. Here are some ways allies can support the mental health of LGBTQ people in their lives, both for Pride Month and beyond.
1. Question your Biases
While you love your LGBTQ friends and family, and support LGBTQ rights, we all have implicit biases that can cause us to act in a discriminatory manner without being aware of it. To support the LGBTQ people in your life, first work on yourself.
Learn about LGBTQ identities, the LGBTQ movement, and the issues facing the LGBTQ community. Question your own assumptions about love, sex, and what it means to be part of a relationship or a family. It's okay to have questions or make mistakes as part of the learning process. By educating yourself first, you can acknowledge these mistakes and grow from them to better support your loved ones.
2. Respect Their Identity
Research has found that affirming LGBTQ people's identities can actually save their lives. For example, transgender youth whose community uses their personally chosen names have a reduced suicide risk.
Respect the identity of LGBTQ people in your life by affirming how they choose to live, love, and identify. Use their chosen gender pronouns, respect how they choose to dress and present themselves physically, accept the gender of their partners, and don't pressure them to conform to your or society's idea of self-expression, family, or love.
3. Don't "Out" Them Without Their Permission
Navigating when to be "out" about one's sexual orientation or gender identity is a highly personal choice. There are lots of reasons an LGBTQ person might choose to be out in some contexts and not as open in others.
While there's nothing shameful or secret about being LGBTQ, everyone has the right to make choices to facilitate their own comfort and safety. Follow the lead of your LGBTQ loved one in terms of how open they wish to be about their identity, and make sure they know you support them however they choose to express themselves.
4. Have Their Back
LGBTQ people face a set of obstacles or barriers in daily life that non-LGBTQ people simply don't have to deal with. Your job as an ally is to lessen those barriers by making the spaces you're in more LGBTQ-friendly.
If your relative is queer, you can educate other family members on LGBTQ identity, and support them if they're faced with discrimination from family members. In the workplace or educational space, you can advocate for diversity trainings and gender neutral bathrooms. And anywhere you go, you can call out anti-LGBTQ words and actions when you see them.
5. Support Them in Accessing Mental Health Resources
Everyone needs support, whether it's a friend whose shoulder we can lean on or a therapist to help us work through trauma from our past. Supporting the mental health of your LGBTQ loved ones requires all the conventional skills of being a good friend: be present, make sure they know you are there for them, and don't hesitate to reach out if you notice they're going through a hard time.
There are also extra ways you can support your LGBTQ loved ones. You can help them find LGBTQ-friendly therapists, whether brick and mortar, or online therapists, connect them with LGBTQ support groups or mentors, and let them know they can always call you or any of the LGBTQ-friendly mental health hotlines (listed below) if they need help.
6. Donate, Donate, Donate!
We can make a big difference in our personal relationships, but movements don't run on friendship alone — they also need monetary support. This Pride Month, support LGBTQ mental health by donating to LGBTQ-friendly mental health and anti-discrimination organizations like Fenway Health, the Anti-Violence Project, and Trans Lifeline.
As the bright colors of Pride fill the streets with joy, LGBTQ people and their allies take heart in a sense of community and belonging. When the confetti has cleared and the parade has ended, allies have a big role to play in making sure LGBTQ visibility isn't just for one day. The more actively you advocate for the mental health and wellbeing of the LGBTQ community by raising awareness and supporting your loved ones, the closer we all come to making sure LGBTQ mental health is a reality every day of the year.

Took a quick weekend trip up to the Sierras to take in the beautiful fall colors. I love the surprise and fleeting nature of fall. As I stopped by each of my favorite places, some leaves hadn't changed, others had already lost their leaves and some were in full vibrant color changing mode.
Many yellows, oranges and reds. My favorite tree is the Aspen– the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind, their white trunks and the saturated color changes in the fall. Here are some photos from the adventure. Felt great to be outside in the crisp air chasing light!

The London Bridge terror attack: what happened next?
On 29th November 2019 Darryn Frost bravely tackled a terrorist on London Bridge with a narwhal tusk. Three months later he spoke to Delayed Gratification about the emotional effects of that day, the dangers of misreporting and the incredible offer he has made to one of the convicted murderer who fought alongside him
29th November 2019 (Taken from: #37)
On 29th November 28-year-old Usman Khan was attending the Learning Together conference on criminal justice at the Fishmongers' Hall by London Bridge. At 1.55pm he emerged from the toilets wearing a fake suicide vest and with knives taped to his hands.
In the ten minutes that followed he carried out a vicious attack on fellow delegates in which five people were stabbed, two of them fatally, before he was shot dead by armed police officers.
Khan, a convicted terrorist who had been released from prison 11 months earlier, had spoken at the event about his apparent rehabilitation, yet hours later killed Jack Merritt, a 25-year-old who had worked with him, and Saskia Jones, a 23-year-old volunteer at Learning Together. More people might well have died had it not been for the actions of a group of fellow attendees who tackled Khan and pinned him to the ground until the police arrived.
Darryn Frost was one of those to take action, confronting Khan and helping to end his rampage. But while he has been widely heralded as a hero, the 38-year-old civil servant has been struggling to deal with the events of that day. "I've been in a really bad place," he says three months after the attack. "I keep getting flashbacks, and keep asking questions over the waste of such brilliant, remarkable lives. There are a lot of things that will always stay with me, and I've just got to get used to the new normal of who I am now."
Frost was in an upstairs room at Fishmongers' Hall when Khan began his attack. Arming himself with one of a pair of ornamental narwhal tusks that was hanging on the wall, he headed downstairs where he saw Khan – who had just attacked Polish kitchen worker Lukasz Koczocik – being confronted by Steve Gallant. Gallant, a convicted murderer who was attending the conference on day release from prison, was attempting to keep Khan at bay with a chair. "I put the narwhal tusk right into Khan's belly and he stopped," says Frost. "Then someone behind me said, 'He's got a bomb.'" In the ensuing confusion Gallant threw the chair at Khan, leaving himself unarmed. Frost passed him the tusk and raced upstairs to fetch the other one. "People were coming out of the conference room and they tried to prevent me from going back down," he says. "I said, 'I'm not having any of this,' took the second narwhal tusk from the wall and went back.

There he found the first tusk shattered and an unarmed Gallant chasing Khan out onto London Bridge. Frost followed and he, Gallant and fellow conference attendee John Crilly – a man convicted of murder in 2005 but released in 2018 – confronted Khan once more. "Khan was going towards the public and we had to stop him," says Frost. "We had to prevent him from causing further injury or taking more lives." The three men put themselves between Khan and others on London Bridge. "When he saw that he couldn't catch anyone else, he turned around and came straight back towards me with both knives raised," says Frost. "It was like a movie where time slows down. I stabbed him in the abdomen and he went down slightly. Then John let off a fire extinguisher. The two things somehow were perfectly timed to disguise Steve who managed to get behind Khan, grab his left shoulder and pull him down."
Despite still believing Khan was wearing an explosive vest, Frost jumped on his back and held both of his wrists until armed police arrived, yanked Frost off Khan and, believing he was about to trigger the suicide vest, delivered the fatal shot. The explosive device was later discovered to be a fake.
"I said, 'I'm not having any of this,' took the second narwhal tusk from the wall and went back."
The actions of Frost and the two other men were captured on smartphone footage shot by bystanders, which soon spread online along with reports on what had happened. Many of these news stories would prove to be inaccurate. A number of national media outlets identified James Ford – who was given a life sentence in 2004 for the murder of 21-year-old Amanda Champion and was also at the conference on day release – as one of the men who tackled Khan alongside Frost on London Bridge. Frost says that this is incorrect and that the impact of such rushed reporting needs to be carefully considered. "I was so angry," he says. "They misidentified Ford and then went and contacted the family of his victim, who gave an emotional response saying that he should never be called a hero. It was wrong on so many levels. I really feel for that family who had to relive their trauma again. And Ford received death threats in prison. All because of this grabbing at the news."

In the rush to publish information other mistakes were made and Lukasz Koczocik was named as the man who used the tusk on the bridge. Lukasz had tackled Khan and was injured in the process, but inside Fisherman's Hall, away from the smartphone cameras. Frost was initially happy to let it go. "I had the opportunity to say, 'No, that was me,' but I saw such an outpouring of love towards Lukasz that I felt that if I come out now it'll just be vanity. I don't need that. What we do need is a lot more compassion. A lot of people from Poland receive a lot of unnecessary hate, and so I saw the positives coming from it. A few days later the police let me know that Lukasz had told them that it was not him."
"I've been deeply disappointed to see the story of what happened on London Bridge being used to spread fear and hate"
In February Frost and Koczocik returned to Fishmonger's Hall to talk through their experiences. "The press thinking it was Lukasz had an unexpected benefit for me, but came at a cost to him," says Frost. "Lukasz had the press camped outside of his house. It sounds like a nightmare for him as he's a private individual who was suffering from injuries and trauma. I, meanwhile, had time to heal away from all the attention. When I met him, he thanked me for saving his life and said, 'I'm really sorry. I didn't try and take the credit.' It doesn't matter who held the tusk, who was in the video. Lukasz is a hero and he deserves every bit of credit he can possibly receive."

As politicians, the press and the public attempted to make sense of Khan's actions, the focus fell on the fact that he had been jailed in 2012 for al-Qaeda-inspired terrorism offences and was released in 2018, halfway through his sentence. The government swiftly announced plans for emergency legislation that would prevent the early release of terrorism offenders without parole-board risk assessments. These calls were reiterated and amplified following an attack by another convicted terrorist who had recently been released halfway through his sentence, in London on 2nd February 2020. Sudesh Amman was shot dead by police after stabbing two people on Streatham High Road in what authorities believe to be an Islamist terror incident. The legislation, ending the automatic early release from prison of both current and future terror offenders, passed the Commons unopposed in February 2020.
Frost, who works at the Ministry of Justice, addresses the topic with caution. "There are going to be some really important questions about how we treat people in prisons," he says. "Do we have the resources available? Can we afford to implement the new laws or do we just make things worse? Are we kicking problems into the long grass and risking a bigger snake coming out the other end? Those are the kinds of questions that I hope are taken into consideration."

For his part, Frost is attempting to turn his experiences into something positive. He has launched Extinguish Hate, a campaign to promote kindness as an antidote to extremism. "I've been deeply disappointed to see the story of what happened on London Bridge being used to spread fear and hate," he says. "This only increases intolerance and division, which plays into the hands of terrorist organisations. Extinguish Hate is still taking shape, but the ethos is to look at pragmatic, responsive solutions to terror threats."
I don't want to just preach rehabilitation, I want to act on it,"
Frost is putting his beliefs into action, inviting Gallant – the convicted murder who helped him tackle Khan – to come and live with him as part of his parole application. "I don't want to just preach rehabilitation, I want to act on it," he says. "I've got an opportunity to do that with someone I fought side by side with in the most harrowing of situations." Frost is determined that Khan's actions shouldn't undermine the work of Learning Together and the rehabilitation efforts that Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones believed in. "Gallant tackled an armed man with his bare hands to save the lives of others," he says. "If that isn't enough evidence of rehabilitation for me, I don't know what would be."

Sammich the Tramp
Sammich the Tramp by DallasPinUp.com
Sammich the Tramp, St. Louis' punk rock hobo and director of the Beggar's Carnivale, talks slapstick, touring, the Show Me Burlesque Festival, Buster Keaton, passionate performance, and f'ing magic.
Interview: Divertida Devotchka
You studied theater at Columbia College Chicago and you describe your style as "live action silent film and neo-vaudeville." I'd like to know more about the development process of your style and the creation of Sammich, if you will.
All through my childhood I played sports, I was really active. Then, when I got into my teens I got really into theater and discovered how much I loved performing, I specifically enjoyed making people laugh. As soon as I started doing theater I knew then and there that that's what I was going to do with the rest of my life. So, when it came time for college I moved to Chicago, which is a theater mecca, and studied performance at Columbia. When I was in my junior year I was approached by a company to be a part of a silent play set to music. That company turned into Silent Theatre Company. We were a group that specialized in the recreation of silent films adapted for the stage. We, essentially, created a performance style that we had never really seen before. We weren't clowns, we weren't mimes, we weren't modern dancers. It was very confusing for people, but people also really identified and gravitated towards the style. It's a universal language, body language, people innately understand it. Within that group an even smaller group of us formed who were really passionate about physical slapstick comedy. We turned into the Oona Tramps, we all played despicable dastardly tramps, we did short pieces that fit into variety shows, and from that we ended up in burlesque. It was right when burlesque was starting to blow up. Then, I moved to St. Louis and started performing solo. I needed a name and Lola van Ella jokingly came up with Sammich, and it stuck. When Sammich started the character was a much more vulgar mean character, the charm and sweetness developed over time. I've been doing the tramp gig for about 6 years.

You're the artistic director and producer of the Beggar's Carnivale, correct? How did this project get started and what have you learned so far over the course of production?
Yes. I'm the director and I've learned to treat it like a theatrical production. Every tiny detail has to fall into place, the music, the lights, the show order, the story. It's a journey. This show is particularly unique because it's done completely silently set to music, featuring both a live house band specifically put together for this show (The Royal We), and a DJ. This is one of the only variety/vaudeville shows I've ever seen done without an emcee. There's a story line that holds the show together. Audiences really seem to identify with the physical comedians (The Knock-a-Bouts). They're the common men. Everyone can see themselves in those characters. I've wanted to do a show like this for years, St. Louis made that possible.

Though the Beggar's Carnivale is still in its first year of production, it's been wildly successful, not only in St. Louis, but you've also begun touring as well. Tell us about your touring experiences thus far and your traveling plans for the near future.
Well, I love touring. I would generally rather be on tour. The most important thing when you're touring with a large group of people is that everyone in the group has a positive attitude and that everyone carries their weight. Of course, everyone has their moments and you have to learn to deal with that. When you're on tour you're living with people every minute of every day. You see people at their best and at their worst. It can be an incredibly positive experience if the group works together, and so far all the Beggars have given selflessly to this show. I couldn't be more excited about taking this show on the road with these people.
I first saw you perform at Burlesque Hall of Fame 2009 with the Oona Tramps and it was incredible! Do you ever perform with the Oona Tramps anymore?
I haven't performed with the Oona Tramps in almost two years. There are no plans for any future projects. I live in St. Louis now and they are in Chicago. I love the Oonas, they're family. I would definitely be open to getting back together at some point to do a performance. I think it would be a lot of fun. We'll see…
You're the production assistant for the Show Me Burlesque Festival. Tell us all about the preparation that goes into the event. Are plans already in the works for next year's festival?
The Show-Me Burlesque Festival was the biggest thing I've ever taken on or been a part of. Let me just say, again, this festival would not have been possible without the St. Louis arts community. Seriously, it's the most supportive, loving scene I've ever been a part of. All of our national performers marvel at the love in St. Louis. A St. Louis audience is the best audience you could ever perform in front of. We were able to do this festival because an entire community came together to make it happen. There were nearly 200 people involved in the production of the Show-Me festival. That ranges from performers, to stage managers, to tech crews, and to volunteers. The key to doing something that large is having a circle of people that you trust. Delegate duties to the people you trust. We have been talking about the next one. We have tricks up our sleeves. I promise it will be even bigger than the last.

Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton are both big inspirations for you, right? With what do you identify the most with these two characters? Who or what else do you find particularly inspiring as a performer?
When I was really little my dad got me into Buster Keaton and as a kid I identified with the physical comedy. The stunts and gags that Buster Keaton came up with and executed are incredible. I don't think anyone has come close to it since. As I got older I started identifying more and more with Chaplin. It's his charm and his humanity and the way he was able to layer his tramp character so deeply. Such a fully realized beautifully executed character. His struggles speak to the common man; he's a dreamer, a vagabond, a lover, a poet, and on top of all that he's a brilliant physical comedian. He can make you genuinely laugh and cry all in the span of 90 minutes. His art is universal. Still to this day the themes he touched on in the teens, the twenties, and the thirties are still relevant. His work is universal. He truly achieved immortality. City Lights is the best movie ever made. It's perfect. I could go on and on.
I think I'm a good performer because I'm such a huge fan, and my favorite performers are the ones who are the most passionate. I love live passionate performance, when you can tell that the performer really loves what they're doing. They love it so much that they obsess over it, dream about it, study it, research it, and work at it all the time until they're really f*ing good at it, and they're confident and they know that they're really f*ing good at it. A really great live show can feel like a spiritual experience….and music, I love music. It inspires almost everything I do creatively.
You were voted number 26 in 21st Century Burlesque's Top 50 Burlesque Performers of 2010, which is incredible considering that it was your first time to make the list. It's refreshing to see someone with your performance style receiving the recognition you deserve. Did you have any idea just how many fans you had prior to that?
I had no idea! I was completely surprised. I thought, "Hmm, it would be fun to make that list, a silly little tramp being on the top 50 burlesque performers list." I never thought I would be voted that high. I was honored, I still am honored. Being in St. Louis helped that a lot.
In the last year, you've injured your nose, leg, foot and two ribs while performing. That's quite a list! What's the worst injury you've sustained while performing?
I think the worst one has been the most recent one. I'm currently all bruised up as I'm doing this interview. I get hurt more than most performers, I can deal with bumps and bruises, but this foot one has really been the meanest. The nose one is up there. That was awful. I was performing to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance.
What's next for Sammich the Tramp?
My goal right now is to really focus on The Beggar's Carnivale. I want to take this show around the world. I've never believed in anything more. I want people to see it. I want Beggars to become a household name.
Anything you'd like to add?
I just want to entertain people. I want to keep them on their toes, keep them surprised, give them a spectacle, transport them to a totally different world. People NEED great live performance. It's a uniting force, it's spiritual. I'm really passionate about it, and when it's done well it's F*ing Magic!

Q: Running a Haskell script on a machine without GHC This question may or may not be truly Haskell-specific, but it concerns a slight annoyance that I am facing with a certain programming task.
I have written a program in Haskell which is mostly universal for the type of problem I am trying to solve, but includes two dependent components: a run-time estimation function for a script, calculated based on trial runs at a certain benchmark, and a file-name conversion function, which is tailored to the naming scheme of the files I was working with. Naturally, if I want to use the script with performances other than the benchmark, or I find that the estimates are too conservative, I would like to change the function used to estimate the run-time, and likewise I would like to be able to modify the file-name conversion function if I ever need to work with different files with different naming schemes.
However, the (remote) computer that I am running my scripts on does not have GHC or runhaskell installed, so I am having to modify, compile, and re-upload the code from my local machine, which is a bit of a hassle. My question is, is there an easy way to implement changes in some components of my code without having to recompile in order for the changes to be reflected at call-time?
I apologize if my description is vague, and have included the gory details below, as I do not want to clutter my question with unnecessary details from the outset, should the details prove unnecessary.
I am writing this code in Haskell mainly because that is the language that I best know how to implement the methods in; while I understand that other languages might be more portable, I am not sufficiently familiar with other languages in order to implement this without having to read a lot of documentation and go through multiple revisions in order to get it to work. If achieving the flexibility I want with Haskell is impractical, I can appreciate that, but I would rather know that Haskell cannot do it than receive suggestions of other languages that can.
Specific Details
I am writing code to run independent jobs on a load-sharing cluster, and I therefore want to most closely estimate the time required for a particular job, without under-shooting and causing the job to be terminated, and without over-shooting and thereby lowering the priority of the jobs. I am basing my time estimate on the size of the inputs to the job program, and I have gathered enough real-world data to derive an approximate quadratic relation between size and time.
The way I am currently assigning time-estimates, and thereby establishing a job order, for the inputs is by parsing the output of du with a Haskell script, performing a computation, and writing the time results to a new file, which is then read in a loop by the job-assignment script.
The job is being run for paired files, which share a common name up to a certain point, where the last common element I wish to retain is an 's', with no further 's' characters in either name from then on. Therefore, I am traversing the names backwards and dropping until I reach an 's'. My code is included below. It is liberal with comments, which might help or might confuse. Some of them are highly specific to the task I am working with.
-- size2time.hs
-- A Haskell script to convert file sizes into job-times, based on observed job-times for
-- various file sizes
--
--
-- This file may be compiled via the following command:
-- > ghc size2time.hs
--
-- Should any edits be made, ensure that the compiled executable is updated accordingly
--
-- The executable is to be run with the following usage
--
-- > ./size2time inputfile outputfile
--
-- where inputfile is the name of a file whose first column contains the sizes, in MB, of each fq.gz
-- (including both paired-end reads), and whose second column contains the corresponding file names, as
-- generated by
--
-- > du -m $( ls DIR/*.fq.gz ) >inputfile
--
-- where DIR is the directory containing the fq.gz files
--
-- output is the name of a file that will be created by the execution of this script, whose first
-- column will contain the run-time, in minutes, of the corresponding job (the times are based on
-- jobs run on Intel CPUs with 12 cores and 2GB of RAM, and therefore will potentially be
-- inapplicable to jobs run on CPUs of different manufacturers, with different numbers of cores,
-- and/or with different allocated RAM), and whose second column contains the scrubbed names of
-- the jobs to be run. The greater time-value for any given pair is used, with only one member of
-- each pair retained, as the file-names of each member of a pair are identical after scrubbing
--

-- import modules for command line arguments, list operations, map operations
import System.Environment
import Data.List
import qualified Data.Map as Map

main = do
    args <- getArgs -- parse command line arguments: inputfile, outputfile, <ignored>
    let infile = head args
    outfile = head . tail $ args
    contents <- readFile infile -- read the inputfile
    let sf = lines contents -- split into lines
        tf = map size2time sf -- peform size2time mapping
        st = map sample tf -- scrub filename
        stu = Map.toList . Map.fromListWith (max) $ st -- take only the longer of the two times of the paired reads
        tsu = map flip2 stu -- put time first
        stsu = sort tsu -- sort by time, ascending
        tsustr = map unwords . map (\(x,y) -> [show x, y]) $ stsu -- convert back to string
        tsulns = unlines tsustr -- join individual lines
    writeFile outfile tsulns -- write to the outputfile

{- given a string, with the size of a file and the name of the file,
 - returns a tuple with the estimated job-time and the unmodified name
 - of the file.
 -
 - The size-time conversion is extrapolated from experimental data,
 - with only the upper extremes considered in order to prevent timeout,
 - rounding in the quadratic term, and a linear-degree time padding added
 - to allow for upper extremes. If modifications are to be made to any
 - coefficients, it is recommended that only linear and constant terms be increased,
 - and decreases should only be made after performing sufficient alignments to collect
 - enough (file size)--(actual computation time) pairs to verify that the padding is excessive,
 - and to determine coefficients that more closely follow the trend of the actual data, with
 - the conditions that no data point must exceed the approximation curve, and that sufficient padding
 - must be provided to allow for potential inconsistency in the time required for any given size of alignment.

A: I don't think there's a clear solution to your problem.
Without an interpreter or compiler on the remote machine, it's not possible to modify your Haskell source on that machine and then convert it into a machine-readable form.
As others have said, perhaps you could implement configuration files or command line options that allow likely-to-be-modified data to be specified at run time.
Or, assuming your remote machine has gcc installed, you could have GHC compile your Haskell code into C on your local machine, transfer it to the remote machine, try your best to make sense of how it translated your code, and make changes to the C code and recompile on the remote machine.

A: If GHC is too heavyweight to install, nhc (https://www.haskell.org/nhc98/) and hugs (https://www.haskell.org/hugs/) are both classic Haskell systems that have not been under active development in some time, but which still are kept in working order as far as I know. They have small binaries, and you could use one or either of those, assuming you have minimal, simple dependencies in your code that all can also run on such systems.
