Rufus Wainwright: Photo Matthew Welch
Praised by the New York Times for his "genuine originality," Rufus Wainwright has established himself as one of the great male vocalists and songwriters of his generation. The New York-born, Montreal-raised singer songwriter has released seven studio albums, three DVDs, and three live albums, including the fantastic Grammy nominated Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall, which captured his celebrated Judy Garland tribute performance at the London Palladium in 2007, and the album Release The Stars which went Gold in Canada and the U.K.
Wainwright has received Juno Awards for Best Alternative Album in 1999 and 2002 for Rufus Wainwright and Poses, respectively, and nominations for his albums Want Two (2005) and Release the Stars (2008). He was nominated for Songwriter of the Year in 2008 for his Release the Stars album. He also composed the original music for choreographer Stephen Petronio's work BLOOM which has toured across the country.
Musically Rufus has collaborated with artists including Elton John, David Byrne, Boy George, Joni Mitchell, Pet Shop Boys and producer Mark Ronson among others. His most recent collaboration is on the title track of Robbie Williams' latest album, Swings Both Ways, which was co-written with renowned musician and producer Guy Chambers and sung as a duet between Rufus and Robbie.
In addition to being a celebrated contemporary pop singer, Rufus has made a name for himself in the classical world. His much acclaimed first opera, titled Prima Donna, premiered at the Manchester International Festival in July 2009. The opera was subsequently performed in London at Sadler's Wells in April 2010, in Toronto at the Luminato Festival in June 2010 and at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Howard Gilman Opera House in February 2012. Now fully established as a composer of operas, Rufus has been commissioned by the Canadian Opera Company to write his second opera based on the story of the Roman Emperor Hadrian and Antinous. The new opera will premiere in Toronto in October 2018.
Rufus has also distinguished himself by playing original orchestrated pop songs and pieces from an extensive classical repertoire with well-respected opera singers and orchestras around the world. Wainwright was commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony to compose "Five Shakespeare Sonnets," a five-movement suite that sets the texts from selected Shakespearian "Sonnets" to orchestra and voice. "Five Shakespeare Sonnets" premiered in the US in 2010 and debuted in the UK in 2012 with the sixty-piece BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Rory MacDonald. Rufus was asked by famed director Robert Wilson to compose music for Shakespeare Sonnette that was staged at the Berlin Ensemble in 2009.
Other recent achievements include the 2012 world premiere of Sing Me The Songs That Say I Love You: A Concert for Kate McGarrigle, the feature length music documentary starring Rufus, Martha Wainwright and their family and directed by Lian Lunson. The film captures the May 2011 tribute concert honoring Rufus' late mother, the great singer songwriter Kate McGarrigle. Nonesuch Records released a record, Sing Me The Songs That Say I Love You: Celebrating the Works of Kate McGarrigle which included songs from the movie as well as selections from the three tribute concerts for Kate given in London, New York and Toronto and featuring performances by Rufus, Martha, Anna McGarrigle, Emmylou Harris, Emmylou Harris, Richard and Linda Thompson and many others. The movie and the record are both available on iTunes and Amazon.
In 2014, Universal Records released Vibrate: The Best of Rufus Wainwright, a new career-spanning collection that features eighteen standout songs defining one of music's most innovative talents. Included in the collection are three brand new recordings, "Me and Liza", "Chic and Pointless" and "WWIII." Also released on CD and Blu-ray is Rufus Wainwright: Live from the Artists Den which captures Rufus' inspired performance at New York City's Church of the Ascension in 2012.
Rufus recently completed his PledgeMusic campaign to record Prima Donna: The Album, a studio recording of his first opera with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. He describes, "It is vitally important to me that Prima Donna be properly recorded and released so that I can tour a concert version of it in the coming year, and I have decided to do this with the help of both PledgeMusic and the incredible BBC Symphony Orchestra which in turn requires your generous support." Wainwright chose the PledgeMusic direct-to-fan platform so his supporters can partake in the album-making process through behind the scenes updates and exclusive views into the creative journey. Deutsche Grammophon release of a double CD recording of Prima Donna with the BBC Symphony Orchestra is now available everywhere.
The initial success of Wainwright's opera, Prima Donna, which premiered in 2009 at the Manchester International Festival, led him to create an artistic concert adaptation to share with the rest of the world.
The opera's central character, a retired Diva struggling to make her return to the stage and regain her former years of greatness, was inspired by BBC Lord Harewood interviews with Maria Callas in her later years.
For the concert adaptation, Wainwright reconfigured the music he composed for the Opera, and scheduled the tour to coincide with the release of the studio recording of the complete opera with Deutsche Grammophon. Wainwright conceived of a film to accompany the live music and invited two legendary artists to collaborate with him on it.
Rufus also recently premiered Prima Donna: A Symphonic Visual Concert at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus at the Athens Festival in Greece on September 15th, 2015. Prima Donna: A Symphonic Visual Concert was also performed at the Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Portugal on November 27th & 28th, 2015, Buenos Aires at Teatro Colon on February 19th& 20th, 2016 and the Hong Kong Arts Festival on March 1st, 2016. Later this year it will be performed at the Montreal Jazz Festival in Montreal, QC.
Rufus will celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death with the release of his latest album Take All My Loves: 9 Shakespeare Sonnets on Deutsche Grammophon worldwide April 22nd, 2016. Performers on the new record include Rufus' sister Martha Wainwright, vocalist Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine, Austrian soprano Anna Prohaska; multiple Grammy-nominated composer and producer Marius de Vries; Sián Phillips, Peter Eyre who provides the introduction, and the BBC Symphony Orchestra; British actress Helena Bonham Carter, Americans Carrie Fisher and William Shatner, and the 92-year-old Inge Keller – one of the great names of German theatre.

AIM:KAPE
Are Kape Technologies's (LON:KAPE) Statutory Earnings A Good Reflection Of Its Earnings Potential?
Statistically speaking, it is less risky to invest in profitable companies than in unprofitable ones. However, sometimes companies receive a one-off boost (or reduction) to their profit, and it's not always clear whether statutory profits are a good guide, going forward. In this article, we'll look at how useful this year's statutory profit is, when analysing Kape Technologies (LON:KAPE).
While Kape Technologies was able to generate revenue of US$95.1m in the last twelve months, we think its profit result of US$1.76m was more important. At the risk of seeming quaint, we do like to at least examine profit, even when a stock is improving revenue and considered a 'growth stock'. The chart below shows that revenue has improved over the last three years, and, even better, the company has moved from unprofitable to profitable.
Check out our latest analysis for Kape Technologies
AIM:KAPE Earnings and Revenue History November 11th 2020
Not all profits are equal, and we can learn more about the nature of a company's past profitability by diving deeper into the financial statements. In this article we'll look at how Kape Technologies is impacting shareholders by issuing new shares, as well as how unusual items have affected the income line. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates.
In order to understand the potential for per share returns, it is essential to consider how much a company is diluting shareholders. In fact, Kape Technologies increased the number of shares on issue by 46% over the last twelve months by issuing new shares. That means its earnings are split among a greater number of shares. To talk about net income, without noticing earnings per share, is to be distracted by the big numbers while ignoring the smaller numbers that talk to per share value. You can see a chart of Kape Technologies' EPS by clicking here.
How Is Dilution Impacting Kape Technologies' Earnings Per Share? (EPS)
Kape Technologies was losing money three years ago. The good news is that profit was up 3.3% in the last twelve months. But EPS was far less impressive, dropping 4.4% in that time. This is a great example of why it's rather imprudent to rely only on net income as a growth measure. And so, you can see quite clearly that dilution is having a rather significant impact on shareholders.
If Kape Technologies' EPS can grow over time then that drastically improves the chances of the share price moving in the same direction. However, if its profit increases while its earnings per share stay flat (or even fall) then shareholders might not see much benefit. For the ordinary retail shareholder, EPS is a great measure to check your hypothetical "share" of the company's profit.
How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit?
On top of the dilution, we should also consider the US$2.4m impact of unusual items in the last year, which had the effect of suppressing profit. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And that's hardly a surprise given these line items are considered unusual. Assuming those unusual expenses don't come up again, we'd therefore expect Kape Technologies to produce a higher profit next year, all else being equal.
Our Take On Kape Technologies' Profit Performance
To sum it all up, Kape Technologies took a hit from unusual items which pushed its profit down; without that, it would have made more money. But on the other hand, the company issued more shares, so without buying more shares each shareholder will end up with a smaller part of the profit. Based on these factors, we think it's very unlikely that Kape Technologies' statutory profits make it seem much weaker than it is. Keep in mind, when it comes to analysing a stock it's worth noting the risks involved. In terms of investment risks, we've identified 4 warning signs with Kape Technologies, and understanding these should be part of your investment process.
Our examination of Kape Technologies has focussed on certain factors that can make its earnings look better than they are. But there is always more to discover if you are capable of focussing your mind on minutiae. Some people consider a high return on equity to be a good sign of a quality business. So you may wish to see this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks that insiders are buying.

A 20-year-old Victorian man has died in hospital days after suffering a suspected drug overdose at the Beyond The Valley festival.
The man, from Mansfield in regional Victoria, died on Tuesday morning after being flown to hospital on Saturday in a critical condition from the festival in Lardner, east of Melbourne.
The circumstances surrounding his death are yet to be determined but it is not being treated as suspicious and police will prepare a report for the coroner.
Another man, aged in his 20s, at the same festival, was also airlifted to hospital after suffering a drug overdose and has since been discharged.
Both the Victorian and NSW governments continue to oppose calls for pill-testing at festivals, but in NSW the Labor opposition has opened the door to supporting trials of the measure should it win this year's state election.
The NSW premier, Gladys Berejiklian, repeated last month her government would not endorse anything that normalised illegal drug taking.
The first pill-testing trial in Australia, at the Groovin the Moo festival in Canberra in April, uncovered two potentially deadly samples and found that half the drugs tested contained no psychoactive substances.
On Sunday organisers of the multi-site Falls Festival warned ticket holders of a "dangerous orange pill" in circulation, following the suspected drug death of a 22-year-old man on the NSW central coast.
Joshua Tam, 22, died at Gosford hospital after taking an unknown substance and becoming ill at the Lost Paradise festival at Glenworth Valley.
Another man and woman were taken to hospital after taking an unknown substance and becoming ill at the same festival.
Last month Callum Brosnan, 19, died and three others were taken to hospital after suspected drug reactions at the Knockout Games of Destiny dance party at Sydney Olympic Park.
In September Joseph Pham, 23, and Diana Nguyen, 21, died after taking unknown substances at the Defqon.1 event in Sydney.
Police have warned revellers to steer clear of drugs in the lead up to Field Day in the Domain in Sydney on New Year's Day.
"There is a clear association with illicit drug use at those festivals and the worst outcomes are being seen at times," acting deputy commissioner Mark Walton told reporters.

Walking in the Shadow of a Great Volcano
On a ledge just inside the lip of Chile's Quizapu volcanic crater, Philipp Ruprecht was furiously digging a trench. Here at an elevation of 10,000 feet, a 1,000-foot plunge loomed just yards away, and wind was whipping dust off his shovel. But the volcanologist was excited. Ruprecht had just found this spot, topped with undisturbed wedding-cake layers of fine, black material that the crater had vomited from the deep earth some 84 years ago. Samples from the currently inactive site might shed light on its exceedingly violent behavior.

You and your opponents are new television networks , and you need new programming. For this, you'll need Shows, Stars, and Ads.
Shows need Stars and Ads. Stars give you bonus viewers (points), and Ads give you extra money. You'll need everything you can get; you'll have a small amount of resources and time, and you must grab the latest hot show before your opponents.
And some Stars will only give their best effort if you put them on in the proper conditions. For example, some Stars only want to be put on dramas. Other Stars want to be the only Star on the show. And your Ads will only give you the most money if you put them on in the correct time slot.
Finally, Shows age and viewers lose interest, so you have to keep your lineup fresh by canceling shows and sending them into reruns. Fortunately, you can get viewers from your reruns, and the player with the most viewers from reruns each season gets a bonus. So timing your reruns will be important.
If you need a special push, there will be Network Cards available that can give you special powers. But will a Network Card be better than another action? You'll have to make that call.

Six Types of Nutrients That We Eat
By K.T. Parker
Can You Burn Fat on a Certain Area by Working the Muscle?
What Gland Does Estrogen Come From?
1600-Calorie, 10-Gram Fat Diet
Are Rye Wafers Good for You?
Why Are Nuts So Fatty?
Just like your car needs fuel, your body requires essential nutrients -- substances requires to maintain life -- to work at peak efficiency. Your body requires six essential nutrients: fat, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and water; however, it can't produce these nutrients independently, so you have to consume them through your diet.
Nutrient Classifications
The macronutrients -- fats, proteins and carbs -- provide the majority of our energy. Vitamins and minerals, which include iron and calcium, are considered micronutrients because we require them in much smaller quantities. A varied diet is the best way to get all essential nutrients.
Fat provides energy for your body, along with protection for internal organs to reduce injuries. Fat is also necessary to help our body absorb certain vitamins, known as "fat-soluble." Although all types of fat serves these functions, some forms are healthier than others. For example, trans fats can contribute to heart disease, whereas a healthy fat like omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil can help keep your heart healthy, according to MayoClinic.com.
Protein is necessary for building muscle, replacing red blood cells, regulating hormones and healing damaged tissue, both from injuries and normal breakdown. Proteins are composed of amino acids, nine of which a body can't produce on its own, according to Vanderbilt University. Eggs, beans, meat and dairy products are all good sources of proteins. If you don't eat animal protein, a varied intake of vegetable proteins is required to get all the essential amino acids on a regular basis. The two exceptions are quinoa and soy, two vegetable proteins that contain all necessary amino acids.
Carbohydrates are a major source of energy, especially for the brain, which runs on glucose. Carbohydrates convert to glucose during digestion. There are two classes of carbohydrates: Simple carbs, like sugar, lack nutrients such as fiber to enhance their nutrient profile. Complex carbs, like those found grains, have vitamins and minerals that make them a healthier option. Complex carbs, which are typically fiber-rich, digest more slowly and help regulate blood sugar better, according to Harvard School of Public Health.
Many foods or daily supplements contain a combination of vitamins and minerals needed to keep our bodies working properly. For example, the mineral iron is essential for reproduction of red blood cells and is abundant in leafy green vegetables and red meat, while vitamin E -- found in foods like almonds or raw spinach -- supports immune function. Vitamins are either fat- or water-soluble, meaning they are absorbed in either a fat or water base. Fat-soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E and K, and unneeded levels are stored in body fat. Highly excessive levels of fat-soluble vitamins could cause vitamin toxicity. The water-soluble vitamins -- all the B vitamins and vitamin C -- break down in water and excess levels pass through the urine, making it impossible to get toxic levels of these.
Water is critical for life, and the body needs it to perform a host of functions, including digestion, absorption, maintenance of electrolyte balance and elimination of unused nutrients and toxins in the body via urination and perspiration. The University of Michigan's Department of Integrative Medicine suggests women ingest 72 ounces of water daily, while men drink around 100 ounces. Don't wait until you feel thirsty to drink water, because mild dehydration has already begun by the time you feel thirst.

RIP Hitchbot: Hitchhiking Robot's Trip Ends in Philadelphia
After traveling successfully across Canada and then Germany, this world-famous robot hitchhiker made it from Massachusetts as far as Pennsylvania before succumbing to injuries sustained on the side of the road during an unprovoked attack.
Hitchbot managed to see Times Square and tour Philadelphia before being dropped off by drivers late a night and subsequently being kicked to pieces by a passerby. Designed to be picked up and passed along, effectively traversing the country to end up in California, its trip is over prematurely to the lament of its many fans around the globe.
The destruction was captured on video, but the perpetrator has not yet been identified. Composed of noodly appendages and a rechargeable computer core, the robot was designed to test human interactions and challenge ideas about road safety (or perhaps confirm them). On the positive side, the bot did manage to survive multiple cross-country trips before this one last fateful middle-of-the-night encounter.
Official word from its creators: "hitchBOT's trip came to an end last night in Philadelphia after having spent a little over two weeks hitchhiking and visiting sites in Boston, Salem, Gloucester, Marblehead, and New York City. Unfortunately, hitchBOT was vandalized overnight in Philadelphia; sometimes bad things happen to good robots. We know that many of hitchBOT's fans will be disappointed, but we want them to be assured that this great experiment is not over. For now we will focus on the question 'what can be learned from this?' and explore future adventures for robots and humans."

Alapalooza is the eighth studio album by "Weird Al" Yankovic, released in 1993. By the completion of his previous album, Off the Deep End, Yankovic had already written all of the original songs that he planned to use on his next release. This new album, which would eventually be titled Alapalooza in reference to the music festival Lollapalooza, consisted of seven original songs and five parodies. It produced three parody singles: "Jurassic Park", "Bedrock Anthem", and "Achy Breaky Song". "Jurassic Park" was a top five hit on the Canadian magazine The Records single chart.

Among the album's original creations were "Talk Soup", a tune originally intended to replace the theme song of the television show of the same name, and "Harvey the Wonder Hamster", an oft-requested jingle from one of Yankovic's Al TV specials. A music video compilation, entitled Alapalooza: the Videos, was released the following year and contained four videos, only two of which were from its eponymous album. One of the videos, the one for "Jurassic Park", was animated entirely in the style of claymation and received a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video at the 37th Grammy Awards, losing to "Love Is Strong" from the Rolling Stones.

Alapalooza met with average to negative reception upon its release, with some critics commenting that the album seemed hurried and out of touch with contemporary music. The video offering received a similarly lukewarm response. Nonetheless, the album was certified "gold" in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America by the end of the year, peaking at number 46 on the Billboard 200, and went "double platinum" in Canada.

Production

Background
Yankovic's 1992 album Off the Deep End, his best-selling album since 1984's "Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D, had revived his career and displayed his "credibility as an evolving artist" after the commercial failures of his 1986 work Polka Party! and his feature film UHF. By the time production for Off the Deep End was nearing completion, Yankovic had already written all of the original songs that would be eventually included on Alapalooza. Fearing that his track "I Was Only Kidding" would be outdated by the time of his next album, he rearranged Off the Deep End to allow for the song to be released with the album, saving "Waffle King" for Alapalooza. Nevertheless, "Waffle King" was released as a B-side to Off the Deep Ends "Smells Like Nirvana" single, "just in case there wasn't going to be a next album".

Yankovic recorded all of the album's original songs, except "Talk Soup" and "Harvey the Wonder Hamster", by the end of 1992 and, in July 1993, recorded all of Alapaloozas remaining tracks, aside from "Livin' in the Fridge". Yankovic eventually decided to title his new album Alapalooza, a reference to the Lollapalooza music festival. The Yankovic dinosaur in the album's booklet was designed by David Peters, who had worked previously with the singer on the "Dare to Be Stupid" video.

Alapalooza was released on October 5, 1993, in the United States. Globally, some versions included a notice distinguishing it from the official Jurassic Park film soundtrack, as the two cover designs were similar. The Japanese edition contained a bonus track of Yankovic singing "Jurassic Park" in Japanese. A music video compilation for the album, entitled Alapalooza: the Videos, was released in February 1994 and contained four videos, only two of which ("Jurassic Park" and "Bedrock Anthem") were from Alapalooza.

Originals
Alapalooza contains seven original songs among its twelve tracks, although "Young, Dumb & Ugly" and "Frank's 2000" TV" were meant to be stylistic parodies of AC/DC and the early work of R.E.M., respectively. For the former, Yankovic wanted to parody the heavy metal music genre while at the same time avoiding a repetition of what had already been done by Spinal Tap. He ended up disliking the final product because he sang it "in a register that was really too high for [his] singing voice". The latter was a song about consumerism and modern electronics that described the neighborhood's envy of the eponymous character's new television.

The song "Talk Soup", which is about a man who desires to go on television to tell the world about his strange life, was originally commissioned as a new theme for the E! Entertainment Television show of the same name. Although the producers approved the lyrics and enjoyed the result, they decided against using it. "Waffle King", the track that had been intended for Off the Deep End, was written as "a song about a guy who becomes incredibly famous for doing something kinda stupid, and then starts taking himself way too seriously". Yankovic included "Harvey the Wonder Hamster", a short tune from one of his Al TV appearances, after receiving numerous requests to include it on an album.

Parodies

Yankovic's first single from Alapalooza was "Jurassic Park", a parody of the Jimmy Webb song "MacArthur Park" that was first performed by Richard Harris in 1968. After hearing "Lola" by The Kinks on the radio and recalling how much he had enjoyed his previous pairing of a contemporary film with a classic song (1985's "Yoda"), Yankovic came up with the idea for a tune based around the recently released Jurassic Park film. He received permission from Webb, Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton, and director Steven Spielberg to produce the track. For the music video Yankovic collaborated with animators Mark Osborne and Scott Nordlund to produce a claymation feature that parodied scenes from the movie; the song itself was a comedic retelling of the film's plot interspersed with the gripes about his visit to the park. The music video was directed by Osborne and Nordlund, while Yankovic came up with the original concept and ideas for some of the shots; Osborne said that the directors "came up with about half the ideas in collaboration" with Yankovic.

Having always wanted to write a tribute to The Flintstones, Yankovic next focused his energy on creating a song that he hoped would be current with the impending release of The Flintstones live action film in 1994. In order to collect sound bites and animation and "re-familiarize" himself with the characters, Yankovic watched over 100 episodes of the original show. A parody of both Red Hot Chili Peppers's "Under the Bridge" and "Give It Away", the resulting song was a comedic tribute to the program. It ended up becoming the second single released from Alapalooza. Yankovic directed the video for the single, which featured scenes of band members playing the song in Bedrock dressed as characters from the show. In the third and final single, "Achy Breaky Song", a parody of Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart", Yankovic lists things he would rather experience than having to listen to the original track. The parody received radio play on country music stations in the United States. The proceeds from the track were donated to United Cerebral Palsy, as both Don Von Tress (the songwriter of "Achy Breaky Heart") and Yankovic felt that the parody was "a little bit [...] mean-spirited".

"Livin' in the Fridge", a parody of Aerosmith's "Livin' on the Edge" that discusses leftovers that have grown sentient in the refrigerator, was the last song to be recorded for the album. With a deadline looming, Yankovic sent requests to several artists to do parodies of their songs. He ultimately went with Aerosmith because they replied first. It was recorded a month after the rest of the tracks had been finalized and less than two months prior to the album's release. The album includes a polka medley, a staple of Yankovic's albums, called "Bohemian Polka". Unlike previous medleys, which had featured portions of multiple songs, "Bohemian Polka" contains only one tune, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", and is a rearrangement of the entire song as a polka.

Reception

Critical reception

Critical response to Alapalooza ranged from average to negative. In (The New) Rolling Stone Album Guide, Alapalooza earned 2.5 stars out of 5, which ranked it somewhere between "mediocre" and "good". Anthony  of The Buffalo News gave the album three stars out of five, claiming that "[o]nce again, Weird Al gets the last laugh on rock 'n' roll". Barry Weber of AllMusic, on the other hand, criticized the album for failing to engage contemporary musical trends and said it "sounds sloppy and mostly like a compilation of old B-sides". In reference to the album's polka tune, Mark Jenkins of The Washington Post wrote that it "doesn't sound all that different" from the original.

Entertainment Weekly felt that overall Alapalooza: the Videos was "amusing", but referred to the claymation video for the "Jurassic Park" as "clever but toothless". The magazine gave the collection an overall grade of "C" and argued that Yankovic's parodies did not satirize the original material, but instead transposed new elements on top of them. The video for "Jurassic Park" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video at the 37th Grammy Awards, but lost to the video for "Love Is Strong" by the Rolling Stones. Nonetheless, it received attention in animation festivals worldwide for its use of claymation effects.

Commercial performance
Released in October 1993, Alapalooza was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on December 23, 1993, representing sales of at least 500,000 units. The video compilation, released on February 1, 1994, went gold in the United States on August 14, 1995, representing sales of at least 50,000 units. In Canada the album went gold on November 16, 1993, platinum on January 31, 1994, and double platinum on February 12, 1998, representing sales of 50,000, 100,000, and 200,000 units respectively. The album peaked at number 46 on the United States' Billboard 200 chart on October 30, 1993, but produced no charting singles. In Canada, however, "Jurassic Park" was a top five hit on The Records single chart. As of 2014, sales in the United States have exceeded 873,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Ridgway State Park recognized as February 2022 RACC Member of the Month
31 January 2022 | Tanya Ishikawa | News
During February, as the Ridgway Area Chamber of Commerce Member of the Month, Ridgway State Park is sharing information about why winter is a great time to visit.
Ridgway Chamber Info
What the chamber does
E-Blast Submission Guidelines
Youth Apprenticeship Program
Interview with Julie Potts, Ridgway State Park Administrative Manager
How was the Ridgway State Park created?
Ridgway State Park began as a result of the Dallas Creek Project, with completion of the dam in 1987 for water storage and flood control. Further studies indicated a local desire for a water-based recreation facility, making the development of the state park a reality.
What activities can visitors do in the park?
Stretching nearly five miles into the Uncompahgre River Valley, including 1,000 acres of lake waters, Ridgway State Park is a mecca for boaters, swimmers and anglers. Hikers and bikers can also enjoy 14 miles of trails throughout the three sections of the park. The park also offers three campgrounds, ranging from three yurts and full-hookup sites to electrical only and walk-in tent sites.
What is winter like at the park?
Winter is a special time to visit the park, as the wildlife and tranquility take residence here. Our Visitor Center is open year round and winter camping is still available in one of our electric-only loops and walk-in tent sites. We also lend out snowshoes in our Visitor Center for use within the park.
What are some planned winter and spring events?
We have a full moon hike on Wednesday, February 16 at 5:30 p.m. that starts at the Visitor Center. Additional full moon hikes are scheduled on Friday, March 18 and Saturday, April 16 with later start times as the days get longer. If needed, snowshoes will be made available. Our Facebook page will also highlight upcoming events: https://www.facebook.com/RidgwayStatePark.
How many employees does the park hire each season?
The park relies on a combination of nearly 60 seasonal staff and volunteers to facilitate the park each spring/summer season. For the upcoming season, we are in need of help in our entrance gates, maintenance, camp hosts, and marina positions. Interested parties can apply for jobs at: www.governmentjobs.com/careers/colorado and search Ridgway State Park, or for volunteer positions, go to: cpwconnect.state.co.us.
How can park visitors help keep the park beautiful?
Some of the ways that visitors can help preserve the park's natural resources is by securing food items in bear lockers or vehicles, honoring the "catch and release" practice in our tail waters, and keeping dogs on leashes in restricted areas. All these practices help protect the wildlife that thrives here and preserves the park for the enjoyment of future generations.
What is helpful for visitors to know about staying safe at the park?
A couple of important safety practices include adhering to life jacket requirements, including on paddleboards and kayaks, and not leaving camp fires unattended. Land and Water Regulations are available at the Visitor Center and all three of our entrance gates.
What do you value from being a Ridgway Chamber member?
As a Ridgway Chamber, we value the outreach and effort made by the Chamber to advertise local businesses and happenings throughout the local community. We also value the sense of being part of the community that being a member gives.
To learn more about Ridgway State Park , go to https://cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/ridgway, call 970 626 5822, email ridgway.park@state.co.us, or visit the park at 28555 Hwy. 550, Ridgway, CO 81432.

Ferdinand reflects on work to create 'positive change' as he collects OBE honour
Rio Ferdinand, © PA Wire/PA Images
By Tony Jones, PA Court Correspondent
Former England football captain Rio Ferdinand said he feels a responsibility to use his position for "positive change" after being awarded an OBE for tackling social problems facing the nation's youth.
Ferdinand, who was also recognised for an illustrious career with Manchester United, has devoted much of his retirement from football working to tackling racism and a lack of social mobility.
He won 81 England caps and made 455 appearances for United during his playing career, winning six Premier League titles, one Champions League and two League Cups.

Ferdinand once had aspirations to become a football manager but the television pundit joked he had escaped the stress-induced grey hair of coaches after his plans did not work out.
Speaking after the Prince of Wales awarded him an OBE during an investiture ceremony, Ferdinand said: "I've got a platform because of football but it's about using that and utilising that in the right way so it can impact other people, which has always been the drive for me."
Joined at Windsor Castle by his wife Kate and father Julian, he added: "I felt a responsibility to do that, especially as I got further in my career, and you have the ability to influence people and using those platforms for positive change."
He won a Bafta award and plaudits for hosting the BBC documentary Rio Ferdinand: Being Mum And Dad, about coping with the loss of his former wife, Rebecca, in 2015 to breast cancer and looking after their three children.
While still a footballer he established the Rio Ferdinand Foundation, which states on its website that it aims to help youngsters from working-class areas in "tackling racism and inequality, and providing opportunities and pathways to deliver social mobility and realise personal potential".

He stressed that providing opportunities is "the key" and "nothing was to be given on a plate, you still have to earn it".
Ferdinand added: "Not everyone can be the footballer, not everyone can be the person on the stage, not everyone can be the person in the spotlight. But there are so many different jobs that surround those industries, that you can still keep the passion alive and have a career."
He said that in his late 20s he started preparing for a life outside football and began exploring different interests, including media work, charitable aims and business projects.
Aspirations to manage a club were also part of his aims at the time, but he added: "Obviously management, I was thinking about doing that as well… never materialised because of personal reasons.
"The media stuff has been really good, keeps you in touch with the game and all the young players coming through – I'm still part of the furniture of football, which is great and obviously my passion."
The ex-defender, who has worked as a pundit for BT Sport, joked: "That's the best part of it for me – I still stay in the game but I haven't got the pressures and I'm not losing my hair or going grey like some of the managers."
Rio Ferdinand with the then Duke of Cambridge during a visit to meet staff, volunteers and supporters of the charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (Dominic Lipinski/PA)
Ferdinand has worked on a number of projects with William, including supporting the prince's Heads Together mental health campaign.
He said: "I've looked at him as someone who's a future king of the country and you say 'What's he going to stand for?'
"There's such an element of positivity that surrounds him – his nature, his willingness to help other people is the one thing that stands out for me, and I think that's one of his most impressive traits.
"Mental health wasn't a real topic before his involvement and he's really been one of those people at the front of that queue, beating that drum to get it recognised for what it is."
Ferdinand's latest project is a three-part documentary that will look at the topics of racism, sexuality and mental health for Amazon Prime Video.
He said: "It's interesting seeing people from different backgrounds and different cultures and how they see race, how they see sexuality and how they see mental health, and you get very different viewpoints from different parts of the country you go to."

I think Nick is mostly right on this--the same list forever is kind of dull.
I participate a reasonable amount in discussions, but have been silent in this one, and it is for the reason that you mention here. I have been refraining from commenting because my reaction is harsh and many people here are genteel and polite to a fault.
I don't know if you suffer from some kind of mental illness, but such is the delusion of grandeur in your posts that I don't care. This forum would be better without you.
For what it's worth, I still feel like a lot of the JLE monsters don't fit, and it bugs me how good Amulets of Trickery are. Back in the old days, you wore an Amulet of Wisdom +6 because the marginal improvement it gave to your saving throw was better than anything else you could get until the artifacts came in...and they were pretty underwhelming too! As I recall, the de facto best amulet was usually Carlammas because it gave +2 CON and basically nothing else.
But yeah, they got added to the game and somehow I neglected to get upset about it or quit the community.
tangar, I understand you think you're "in the right" here. But there isn't a right or wrong; we're talking about aesthetics. This is the kind of thing where there are preferences and not facts.
Aesthetics - beautiful and right term. But why there shouldn't be a discussion about it? Let's take Vincent van Gogh.. A 'majority' didn't understand his works aesthetics for a long time. And when 'they' finally managed to comprehend - it was to late, he was dead. I'm an artist myself and I see an Angband as a masterpiece in a certain way. When I see it's destruction I can't just stay beside and watch on it. Even if I'm the only one who understand it's aesthetics. Who knows, maybe 'they' would understand it later, but it would be too late?..
I just have another POV on Angband in terms of gamedesign and actually cultural phenomena. I see V-Angband as the étalon (reference, standard, model) which is very close to perfection because it's being actively developed over ~30 years and which is based at gamedesign concepts of Moria and Rogue which gives yet another 10 yeards to this concept - Angband is closer than eg Nethack to 'original' Rogue and we actually could call Angband as Rogue III (Moria is Rogue II).
So we could say that Angband has 40 years gamedesign in total. 40 years of gameplay and lore evolution. A lot of classic vanilla monsters went through it and I feel them as a thing close to perfection which we, of course, should enrich and rebalance, but being very cautions and respectable to the heritage. "One Does Not Simply Walk into Mordor".. lol this discussion remind me of Council of Elrond..
The Lore cannot be destroyed by any craft that we here possess. The Lore was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. It must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came! One of you... must do this.
But I understand that I'm a minority there and as I said in my past post - I've stopped struggle for Vanilla lore. I won't participate in monster/race discussions further except this thread.
2) ..... This 'gentleness' makes people who do not agree - just to be silent so they won't offend beloved person / won't go agains it's supporters.
1) people who do not like what's going on - do not participate in Angband forum discussions anymore..
There are always people who do not have anything to say about topic of the discussion and their the only argument is to 'go personal'. Enjoy yourself!
Rip vanilla. Bring back Vorpal bunnies and Hobgoblins.
I too was upset to see him go. But not as upset as I'd be to see another forum-ite go, over something similar. Never commented because basically I'm glad I'm not actually a moderator.
I'm probably the worst person to be calling people up on rudeness, being prone to getting rude myself on design choices in Angband but I'm going to make a request anyway. At least consider the possibility that the people calling you out on rudeness (multiple people) has more to do with the way you're saying things then simple disagreement.
At least consider the possibility that the people calling you out on rudeness (multiple people) has more to do with the way you're saying things then simple disagreement.
wobbly, thank you very much for providing such beautiful evidence to typical double standarts! Good job!
There are always people who do not have anything to say about topic of the discussion and their the only argument is to 'go personal'.
One word, but I had a billion to choose from. Simple fact: you're rude, I'm rude. Neither of us have special privilidge.
Too late! This is gonna be a unique in my variant now!
The Butcher of Baddu-Bak is having a new husband!
I donno why some other folk with whom I discussed this matters in Discord are silent..
Because it was not the time to say something. The current monster overhaul is WIP, not finished work.
PWMAngband and your own variant are very welcome to keep the old monsters, or add to them or mix between the different monster lists to your heart's content.
Exactly, and that's what I've been doing for the past 12 years. PWMAngband started as a fork of MAngband, because I wasn't satisfied with the turn TomeNET was taking and wanted to play a real-time version with stuff I liked while keeping the core Angband feel. That's why I'm following all the changes while porting only some of them for PWMAngband -- that's what variants are for. If you look more closely at the latest PWMAngband source, you'll probably find out that most of the changes from latest V are there... but not all of them. This will also be the case for post 4.1.2 chances about races and monsters. I will not contest the changes in Angband, just adapt them for my variant if I dislike them.
I understand Tangar, as the change to the monster list is BRUTAL. I felt the same way 10+ years ago around v3 when half of the list was switched around, many monsters removed and replaced. Who here remembers the name given to The Balrog of Moria (Muar) or to the Witch-King (Murazor)? I used to play and fight Cerberus and suddenly he was gone... But then I thought... why we would have to fight Cerberus in the Pits of Angband? This makes no sense... And Carcharoth was adopted. And I felt happy with the changes.
Only time I've felt strongly about Angband development was few months ago, when traps were just obnoxiously dangerous. I don't know if dragon/demon summoning traps are nerfed nowadays, but those did one-shot me few times. Also it wasn't rare to lose majority of your town-bought healing supplies to early spiked pit traps. And if you did not have any, you could just die to bleeding+poison.
These incoming changes today, I just look forward to and wanna see how they play. Every change is likely displease some players, there's no way around that for a game with this long of a history. I bet there are people who still miss ant lions and evil iggies.
From day 1 when Nick was "appointed" as a Angband maintainer it was obvious from his previous work he will make it more Tolkienised. And from day 1 I knew I will not like that sort of changes because I'm not into Tolkien's books or any other fantasy books. I just liked Angband as a ASCII roguelike game played on a fullscreen DOS/Linux. Side note it's not possible to play it that way in Windows for many years and no maintainer cares enough to fix it.
Overall I admit that I don't like changes in Vanilla in last 15 years. There are some nice user interface improvement but much more things are made in what I perceive as a wrong direction. Some of fun is removed because maintainer feels it's annoying to him. Some annoying things are introduced because maintainer feels it's more fun to him. I just know that if I don't follow current maintainer's philosophy then I will just get disappointed reading what's going on in Angband development. Might be a reason why I quit playing in last few years.
Back to main subject of Angband LORE changes. I understand tangar's concerns. I understand that some monsters should stay in the game with their non-Tolkien roots, non-Tolkien names. On the other hand I agree that some monster needs to be moved to different depth. I'm not attached to a monster's name.
Myself I though that 50' depth should be different from any other level. More safe, single monsters, no packs, no invisible monsters, no paralise monsters, no OOD monsters. But for someone else that would be a LORE change and maybe they would quote Tolkien that dungeon is never a safe place to be.

Consequently, it is proposed through amendment in Sec. 156 that where any sum is determined to be payable by the assessee or the deductor or the collector under sub-section (1) of section 143 or sub-section (1) of section 200A or sub-section (1) of section 206CB, the intimation under those sub-sections shall be deemed to be a notice of demand for the purposes of this section.

This amendment will take effect from 1st June, 2015.
TDS statement processing procedure defined; Fee u/s 234E may be demanded through intimation
The existing provision of Sec.200A does not provide mechanism for determination of late fee under Sec. 234E at the time of processing of TDS statements. It is, therefore, proposed to amend the provisions of Section 200A of the Act so as to enable computation of fee payable under section 234E of the Act at the time of processing of TDS statement under section 200A of the Act.
TDS on Salaries
It is proposed to amend the provisions of section 192 of the Act to provide that the person responsible for paying, for the purposes of estimating income of the assessee or computing tax deductible under section 192(1) of the Act, shall obtain from the assessee evidence or proof or particulars of the prescribed claim (including claim for set-off of loss) under the provisions of the Act in the prescribed form and manner.
CLARIFICATION REGARDING DEDUCTION OF TAX FROM PAYMENTS MADE TO TRANSPORTERS [SECTION 194C]
It is proposed to amend the provisions of section 194C of the Act to expressly provide that the relaxation under sub-section (6 ) of section 194C of the Act from non-deduction of tax shall only be applicable to the payment in the nature of transport charges (whether paid by a person engaged in the business of transport or otherwise) made to an contractor who is engaged in the business of transport i.e. plying, hiring or leasing goods carriage and who is eligible to compute income as per the provisions of section 44AE of the Act (i.e a person who is not owning more than 10 goods carriage at any time during the previous year) and who has also furnished a declaration to this effect along with his PAN. This amendment will take effect from 1st June, 2015.
RATIONALISATION OF PROVISIONS RELATING TO DEDUCTION OF TAX ON INTEREST (OTHER THAN INTEREST ON SECURITIES) [SECTION 194A]
(a) Payment of Interest by Co-operative bank to its members: it is proposed to amend the provisions of the section 194A of the Act to expressly provide that the exemption provided from deduction of tax from payment of interest to members by a co-operative society under section 194A(3)(v) of the Act shall not apply to the payment of interest on time deposits by the co-operative banks to its members. This amendment will take effect from 1st June, 2015.
(b) Definition of time Deposit amended: It is proposed to amend the definition of 'time deposits' so as to include recurring deposits within its scope for the purposes of deduction of tax under section 194A of the Act. However, the existing threshold limit of Rs 10,000 for non-deduction of tax shall also be applicable in case of interest payment on recurring deposits to safeguard interests of small depositors. 'This amendment will take effect from 1st June, 2015.
(c) Interest payment by Banks working on core banking solutions: It is proposed to amend the provisions of section 194A of the Act to provide that the computation of interest income for the purposes of deduction of tax under section 194A of the Act should be made with reference to the income credited or paid by the banking company or the co-operative bank or the public company (i.e all branches) which has adopted core banking solutions.

(d) Motor Accident Claim Tribunal compensation: It is proposed to amend the provisions of section 194A of the Income-tax Act, 1961 to provide that deduction of tax under section 194A of the Act from interest payment on the compensation amount awarded by the Motor Accident Claim Tribunal compensation shall be made only at the time of payment, if the amount of such payment or aggregate amount of such payments during a financial year exceeds Rs.50,000/-. This amendment will take effect from 1st June, 2015.
Relaxing the requirement of obtaining TAN for certain deductors
Under the provisions of section 203A of the Act, every person deducting tax (deductor) or collecting tax (collector) is required to obtain Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) and quote the same for reporting of tax deduction/collection to the Income-tax Department. However, currently, for reporting of tax deducted from payment over a specified threshold made for acquisition of immovable property (other than rural agricultural land) from a resident transferor under section 194-IA of the Act, the deductor is not required to obtain and quote TAN and he is allowed to report the tax deducted by quoting his Permanent Account Number (PAN).
The obtaining of TAN creates a compliance burden for those individuals or Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) who are not liable for audit under section 44AB of the Act. The quoting of TAN for reporting of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a procedural matter and the same result can also be achieved in certain cases by mandating quoting of PAN especially for the transactions which are likely to be one time transaction such as single transaction of acquisition of immovable property from non-resident by an individual or HUF on which tax is deductible under section 195 of the Act.
To reduce the compliance burden of these types of deductors, it is proposed to amend the provisions of section 203A of the Act so as to provide that the requirement of obtaining and quoting of TAN under section 203A of the Act shall not apply to the notified deductors or collectors.

To Sin No More: Franciscans and Conversion in the Hispanic World, 1683-1830
Friday, February 2, 2018 - 3:15pm
A new book by St. Francis and the Americas project partner David Rex Galindo is available from Stanford University Press.
About the book: For 300 years, Franciscans were at the forefront of the spread of Catholicism in the New World. In the late seventeenth century, Franciscans developed a far-reaching, systematic missionary program in Spain and the Americas. After founding the first college of propaganda fide in the Mexican city of Querétaro, the Franciscan Order established six additional colleges in New Spain, ten in South America, and twelve in Spain. From these colleges Franciscans proselytized Indians in frontier territories as well as Catholics in rural and urban areas in eighteenth-century Spain and Spanish America.
To Sin No More is the first book to study these colleges, their missionaries, and their multifaceted, sweeping missionary programs. By focusing on the recruitment of non-Catholics to Catholicism as well as the deepening of religious fervor among Catholics, David Rex Galindo shows how the Franciscan colleges expanded and shaped popular Catholicism in the eighteenth-century Spanish Atlantic world. This book explores the motivations driving Franciscan friars, their lives inside the colleges, their training, and their ministry among Catholics, an often-overlooked duty that paralleled missionary deployments. Rex Galindo argues that Franciscan missionaries aimed to reform or "reawaken" Catholic parishioners just as much as they sought to convert non-Christian Indians.
About the author: David Rex Galindo is newly appointed at the Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez in Santiago, Chile.
The book may be ordered at http://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=29297.


Last Sunday, the smell of stale coffee wafting through the air, student government members sat down to discuss the week's proceedings. Among those assembled was recently elected senator, Diana Ramstad. Ramstad is one of the many non-traditional students currently attending UAF; however, she is one of the few holding a seat in the Senate.
The term "non-traditional student" generally refers to a student who is 25 years or older, attends classes part-time, works full-time while enrolled, or is a single parent or has dependents other than a spouse.
"Non-traditional students have a different perspective. All perspectives are important, and we should be well-rounded in that," says Ramstad. "I would love to see more of our Native students run, and more majors.
Ramstad is working to address the concerns of non-traditional students by serving as a senator. While she stressed that her opinions are her own, she said she values diversity of ideas and opinions as a representative of the student government, non-traditional students included.
The university hosts students from a wide variety of backgrounds, ranging from veterans to community members making career changes. Approximately 28 percent of UAF's student base is composed of non-traditional students. Ramstad believes that these viewpoints should be represented in the student government in order to more completely represent the diversity that exists on campus.
The sentiment that non-traditional students hold unique perspectives aptly applies to Ramstad, as well. Before returning to school, Ramstad worked as a horse trainer, volunteered at a non-profit in Ireland, and ran several family businesses, ranging from coffee stands to a greenhouse.
"What sparked my interest [in running] was to give a voice for non-traditional students," says Ramstad.
Ramstad is currently serving on the Student Affairs, Public Relations, and Internal Affairs committees. She has several ideas she wants to implement this year.
She would like to see a club for non-traditional students formed and to plan events that would be of interest to non-traditional students. She also remarks that certain programs around campus, such as the Haven Training, could be better tailored to the concerns of non-traditional students.
"I would actually like to encourage other people to run for Senate. If there's even two or three other people competing for my seat, then I have to work harder for that seat. I'm actively encouraging other students to run," said Ramstad.
She noted that she would also like to see the names and pictures of student senators posted around campus, so that people can recognize and easily approach them.
Students can find the ASUAF office on the bottom floor of the Wood Center next to the bowling alley, suite 119.
Students wishing to attend ASUAF's weekly meetings can find the Senate in Wood Center C/D, near Dine 49, at 1:30 p.m. every Sunday.

Nvidia's ARM acquisition delays could break the deal
By NewsTeam On Jul 27, 2021
Share FacebookFacebook MessengerWhatsAppViberTelegramReddItTwitterEmail
Nvidia's plan to buy Arm is crawling at a snail's pace, as the company has yet to submit the necessary documents to the European Union regulator, whose approval is required to seal the deal.
Nvidia announced its intention to acquire Arm late last year. Then, the company expected to complete the acquisition by March 2021. Later, the deadline was postponed to September, but, according to the latest data, the deal will not be completed in September either.
Last month, the EU regulator warned Nvidia of the implications of late filing. If the request is not submitted by the end of July, the next chance will be presented only in September, because the members of the commission have to leave for summer vacation.
But, the longer the deal drags on, the more likely Arm will make an initial public offering(IPO).

Arm's current owner, Japanese conglomerate SoftBank, is still hoping to complete a deal that would make their company a major shareholder in Nvidia. However, sources close to the process claim that the placement of shares on the stock market is quite likely.
There is still no approval from the Chinese State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR). The administration has consulted with companies that believe that their interests may be infringed upon in the event of a deal. According to unconfirmed reports, the Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies has expressed concern about the deal, fearing that it could lose the ability to use Arm's technology.
The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is also studying the deal for potential threats to UK national security.

Q: Tomcat and logback.xml I am starting up a Seam + Hibernate + Logback project deployed to Tomcat 6. I use Eclipse as an IDE. Hibernate prints many debug statements, so I have put the level to ERROR, so I don't see them.
<logger name="org.hibernate">
    <level value="ERROR" />
</logger>

I don't paste my whole logback.xml, because the problem I have, is not connected with its contents.
I have the following classpath problem - If I put the logback.xml in WEB-INF\classesof my project, it is not found by the classloader and I see all debug statements. On the other hand, if I move the logback.xml to the lib directory of Tomcat, everything works perfect and the debug statements are not printed.
But I want to have my logback.xml inside my project, not in the root lib directory of Tomcat.
And here is my question - isn't the WEB-INF\classes a correct place for logback.xml? Why isn't it found?
I have always known that the files under the WEB-INF\classes directory of the project, are put to the classpath. Thank you for any ideas you have.
All the best, Petar

A: It looks like your logback.jar is also under ${catalina.home}\lib.
If you want to put your logback.xml to \WEB-INF\classes, the logback.jar should be only under \WEB-INF\lib. The ${catalina.home}\lib\logback.jar should be removed.
