The album "Burning Through" by Dave Vargo clearly deserves a 5 star rating, but just I want to get my two cents worth in there anyway. If you've listened to Vargo at all, you'll know that he is an amazing song writer and an even better lyricist. Musically, the album runs the gamut from pensive, slowed down numbers to upbeat Americana and Country gems. Perhaps even more impressive than Vargo's songwriting abilities, are his lyrics. The man is a keen observer of life with an impeccable ability to put into words what it's like to be, at the risk of sounding cliché, human.
I can honestly say that this album will get more play in your rotation than almost anything else if you have an affinity with this genre. These songs are deep, rich and polished. Dave Vargo wears his influences proudly on his sleeve, and I hear echoes and subtle traces of everybody from JJ Cale to Ryan Adams to Bruce Springsteen to James Taylor and Jackson Browne in this set.
A native of East Brunswick, NJ, Dave J. Vargo started playing the guitar at the age of eight and by 14 was performing throughout the tri-state area with various jazz, funk, and rock bands. He graduated from Berklee College of Music with honors and went on to become a touring sideman and session player. He has had the privilege of working with a number of notable talents including Whitney Houston, Phoebe Snow, Vonda Shepard, and Rupert Holmes.
Dave currently performs both solo and as part of an acoustic duo simply called Kim and Dave. He is also an active session player and songwriter. His debut album, "Burning Through", was released in October 2016.
Honesty, fresh, storyteller and genuine – These are a few of the words that come to mind when I hit play on the first track, "Come Take Me Home". Dave Vargo is songwriter who writes songs that hit you on multiple levels.
The melodies hit you on a physical level and just a few days in to listening to this album on repeat, I found that I carried them with me throughout the day. They weren't just playing through my head, they were living within me.
Vargo is a wonderful storyteller and though his stories may seem ordinary at first blush, the underlying themes are universal and heady material to tackle. His ability to use simple, straightforward everyday language to communicate complex ideas is remarkable and rare. This is a trait you will also find in the works of artists such as Ryan Adams and Lucinda Williams.
This is particularly evident on the tracks "Finding My Way Home", "Too Young To be Broken", Twisted and Bent" and "Don't Think Twice". Dave has put his words and feelings so poignantly into these songs that you can feel the emotions of every note, chorus and guitar lick. Of course when he wants, Dave Vargo can bring his musicianship to the fore.
Something he promptly does with his guitar on "Good Enough", "Waiting", "Right Now" and "Pieces Of My Heart". Vargo is singer and songwriter who hits all the right rhythms and mood notes: edgy Americana, soulful country, and many surprises throughout. To me, Dave Vargo is a master craftsman in his field of competence and this 11-song set unequivocally cements that stature.

To those who asked: Yes, Obama was, in fact, on course at Vineyard Golf Club during Gen. Greene's funeral.
Davis' tweet referred to Maj. Gen. John A.B. Dillard — that last U.S. general killed in combat — who died when his helicopter was shot down in Vietnam on May 12, 1970. Davis' tweet also referred to Lt. Gen. Timothy Maude, who was killed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the Pentagon. According to Davis, the Dillard funeral was attended by then-President Richard Nixon, and the Maude funeral was attended by then-President George W. Bush. Obama, Davis said, broke that tradition by skipping General Greene's funeral.
As it turned out, both Drachenberg's tweet and Davis' tweet were wrong. Drachenberg's had an error which he later corrected. Davis' was an intentional falsehood, about which he later boasted. Both ended up ricocheting around the Internet.
White House should explain why neither President Obama nor Vice President Biden nor Sec of Defense Hagel attended Gen. Greene's funeral.
Just to summarize the facts in this convoluted affair: Hagel did attend the Greene funeral. Obama and Biden did not. Nixon did not attend the Dillard funeral, and Bush did not attend the Maude funeral. There is no "tradition" of presidential attendance at generals' funerals that Obama "bucked." The Hagel misinformation (passed on erroneously by me) came from Drachenberg's tweet, amplified in the Legal Insurrection post. The Nixon and Bush misinformation was a deliberate falsehood spread by Davis.
The end result is that Obama was playing golf during the funeral, Biden did not attend, Hagel did attend, and a law professor at Howard University successfully pulled off an internet hoax as to prior presidents attending funerals.
@Mann what do I know?
I don't know about Nixon, but Bush did a lot of things that Obama has not.
Obama is merely being consistent: he is showing the general exactly the same level of respect as he has for the troops.
The man difference was that despite errors in major issues, Bush was a good man.
He still bicycles with the vets and has more respect for them that the current occupant of 1600.
Our warriors loved/love President Bush. They knew that he honored them and wanted the best for them. He wanted victory, not some Neutered-Neutral everybody wins zone.
With the world on-fire, the moral midget masquerading as president is sabotaging our armed forces. Breathtaking. Thousands are being given their walking papers. 500-Majors in one recent day. Loathsome. Unforgivable.
The Commander-in-Chief has no respect for anyone he commands.
This is a sad and sorry state we're all in.
Yep, unlike Neville Chamberlain who was a decent man. Horrendously misguided with all kinds of Gooooood intentions, but a decent human being. With the breathtaking lessons of history there for Obam-Bam to see, he yet chooses to weaken our country in times of great peril. He's a saboteur, an undercutter and a grifter.
And, to my stunned shock and dismay from which I've not fully recovered, America re-elected this Vast Testicular Concavity. Reaping wtf we hath sewn.
Maybe his show of contempt is best.
I know several of the family members of the dead from Benghazi would have preferred never seeing him, given his use of the caskets as props and his lies in their faces.
Perhaps we could ascribe him not being at the general's service to shame, if it was anyone else.
I don't think Obama has shame. In any case, I will always carry the image of Obama and H. Clinton dressed in black to meet those caskets from Benghazi and lying through their teeth. But the Sec Def surely should have been there.
he probably did the right thing albeit accidentally.
Per Obama and Kerry, our knuckle-heads of state that willfully do "stupid stuff," climate change takes precedence over everything including our fallen warriors. This funeral is not as important to him as a "climate disruption" talking point press conference.
"Good for nothing" doesn't begin to describe Obama and his climate change missionaries.
Cleaning the heavy divot dirt embedded in his clubs, I'd say..
My thoughts exactly … perfect weather on the Vineyard to get another 18-holes in today … then PAR-TAY like there's no tomorrow this evening. Why interrupt a great VA-CAY?
Can't he just do us all (and himself) a favor and resign.
Maybe the family suggested no politicians or DoD types show up….
An IRS audit would surely follow in short order.
I'll bet the family didn't want the Divider and Chief there! I wouldn't!
I'm didn't know MG Greene, but if he's anything like me he wouldn't have wanted President Obama there. When I retired from the Army in May I left my letter from him thanking me for my service under my chair. Every other officer in the ceremony did the same. I can't picture him being at my funeral, and all the aggravation that come with presidential security to boot. My wife and kids don't need to hear him say "I, me, my" and talk about his "accomplishments".
My letter was signed by George H.W. Bush and it is framed along with the rest of the documents from that ceremony. If it had been signed by the current CinC (Cretin in Chief) I wouldn't have touched it, even with white cotton gloves. But I have to give him credit for keeping one of his campaign promises: he has fundamentally transformed the country, mores the pity.
Well Obama hates the military, Biden is a blithering idiot, and Hagel is just an drunk.
This Nation was born from a Commander-in-Chief.
It will die from lack of one.
Should we expect anything more from the community organizer,'Extraordinaire'?
I very much appreciate your observance and photos of the officer's death. However, it's no surprise that Obama wasn't there since he long ago made clear he's a far left ideologue. Obama can't be re-elected. I don't understand why a serious blog such as this wastes valuable time writing about him. The only vehicle that can possibly affect Obama's actions or help this country is the Republican Party which has made clear it doesn't want the job. They like the same things he does, massive central government, open borders, taking in 10's of thousands more homeless Central American kids, but zero Iraqi Yazidi and Christian kids. The GOP has daily access to microphones and refuses to use them. They could've used this access to each day demand that we withdraw all Americans from the fake war in Afghanistan that is merely a $6 billion a month transfer of US taxpayer dollars to organized crime along with a few dead bodies.
Comfy out here on planet Pluto.

Manitowoc MLC300 enables maximum efficiency
By Elian Ionescu	 On Jun 25, 2017
Contractors in Hawaii chose the MLC300 for a large-scale construction project due to its higher capacity at longer radii compared with competing crawler cranes.
Without the efficiencies made possible by the MLC300, the project would call for as many as seven tower cranes, as opposed to the two that are currently onsite.
The MLC300 is the first crawler crane with a luffing jib to operate in the Hawaiian Islands.
Construction is underway on a $331 million rental car facility in Hawaii, and a Manitowoc MLC300 is driving performance on the job site to help contractors execute an innovative lift plan.
Honolulu-based Hawaiian Dredging Construction Company (HDCC) is tasked with building the three-story facility that will cover some 1.7 million ft2 near Kahului Airport on the island of Maui. The expansive site is divided into four 425,000 ft2 quadrants that are aligned in a row, and HDCC has developed a plan to lift the building's formwork on each quadrant using minimal equipment. Two tower cranes are being used on the inner two quadrants, with the MLC300 doing the work of multiple cranes to cover the remaining outer quadrants.
The 386 USt crawler crane is responsible for not only lifting formwork and other materials, but assembling and disassembling the tower cranes in the most efficient way possible. According to Daniel Arana, field operations manager for HDCC, the lift plan could not be executed without the MLC300.
"Some of our competitors might have used as many as seven tower cranes for this job," he said. "But the MLC300 gave us the reach, capacity and efficiency to stick to our schedule using only it plus two tower cranes. It was the only crawler crane in the islands that could dismantle the tower cranes at the necessary distance, and even with the time spent on dismantling and erection, it was well worth the investment."
HDCC is using the MLC300 configured with 118 ft of boom and 295 ft of luffing jib. The heaviest lifts on the job are the 10 USt tower crane components, but the crane is also lifting formwork, rebar and buckets used for pouring concrete, all at a 295 ft radius.
"We needed to erect our tower cranes inside the perimeter of the building to construct it from the inside out," continued Arana. "The MLC300 was the only crawler crane that could make every lift at the required radius, which is helping us to erect and dismantle our tower cranes exactly where we need them, all while taking up minimal space on the job site."
HDCC's MLC300 has been onsite since August of 2016 and is the first crawler crane with a luffing jib to operate in the Hawaiian Islands. Construction of the rental car facility is scheduled for completion in October of 2018.

Name of a family of scholars, the earliest known members of which lived at the end of the eleventh and in the twelfth century. The name was so common that it was used by R. Michael in his "Seder ha-Geṭ" as a paradigm word. It is evidently not unconnected with the feminine form "Ḳimḥit" in the Talmudic literature (see Yer. Meg. i. 72a; "Ben Ḳimḥit" and "Simeon b. Ḳimḥit," Yer. Yoma, iii. 47d, v. 42b; "Ishmael b. Ḳimḥit," Tosef., Yoma, p. 189, l. 13 [ed. Zuckermandel]). In a punningway it is connected by Zacuto ("Sefer Yuḥasin," p. 225, ed. London) with the verse in Pirḳe Abot, "Im en Ḳemaḥ en Torah," and Joseph b. Todros wittily calls David Ḳimḥi "Ha-Ḥitti." In a manuscript of the commentary of David Ḳimḥi to the Prophets, dated 1347, in the National Library at Madrid, the name is punctuated "Ḳamḥi" (Steinschneider, "Hebr. Bibl." xi. 133), as also in three manuscripts of the "Miklol" in the Bibliothèque Nationale of Paris. This must have been the pronunciation in Arabic-speaking countries (from the Arabic "Ḳamḥ"). Steinschneider has called attention to the Arabic name "Al-Ḳamḥi" found in a Bodleian manuscript ("Monatsschrift," xxxiv. 528). The Hebrew pronunciation was "Ḳimḥi" (from "Ḳemaḥ"), as was perhaps indicated by the fact that Immanuel of Rome rimed it with "Simḥi" (see the discussion in the "Athenæum," March 22, 1884; "Hebraica," ii. 116; B. Felsenthal, in the Kohut Memorial Volume, p. 126). The modern Italian form of the name is "Chimichi." In Provence the name "Petit" was added to "Ḳimḥi." From Spain and Provence the family spread into Italy, Turkey, Syria, and England. The genealogy of its remotest members runs as follows: Isaac (c. 1090); Joseph (c. 1125); David (c. 1160); Isaac; Mordecai (c. 1290); Solomon (c. 1300); Joseph; Isaac (c. 1400). The more important of the later members of the family are noted below, in alphabetic order:
Rabbi in Constantinople (1710-20; see Roest, "Cat. Rosenthal. Bibl." i. 265, 524, 579, 986).
Printer and editor at Salonica about 1770. He edited and annotated the "Sha'are Raḥamim" of Ḥayyim ha-Kohen and Solomon Abbadi (Nepi-Ghirondi, "Toledot Gedole Yisrael," p. 62; Benjacob, "Oẓar ha-Sefarim," p. 605, No. 1139).
Rabbi in Constantinople during the first half of the eighteenth century. Frankl identifies him with the Samuel Ḳimḥi mentioned in the "Shem ha-Gedolim."
G.David Ḳimḥi (ReDaḲ; surnamed Maistre Petit):
French grammarian; born in Narbonne 1160; died there 1235; youngest son of Joseph Ḳimḥi, and brother of Moses Ḳimḥi. His father having died while David was yet a child, the latter was brought up by his elder brother Moses. Later he supported himself by teaching Talmud to the young. He was well versed in the whole range of Hebrew literature, and became the most illustrious representative of his name. Later generations applied to him the saying from Abot (iii. 21), "Without ḳemaḥ [= "flour," the etymon of the name "Ḳimḥi"] no Torah"; and he exerted an influence which is felt even to-day.
Ḳimḥi's most important work is his "Miklol," in two parts: the first containing a comprehensive exposition of Hebrew grammar; the second, a dictionary of the Bible. The second part, however, having been later considered as a separate work, under the title "Sefer ha-Shorashim," the title "Miklol" has been given exclusively to the grammar. In these works Ḳimḥi, while not original, can not be considered a mere compiler. He digested and assimilated his material most thoroughly; and everywhere there is evident the remodeling and rearranging hand of one who is conversant with the entire range of his science and who surveys the whole with the glance of an adept. Above all he possesses in a high degree the power of systematization and of popular exposition. He excerpted from his predecessors copiously and circumspectly, and arranged his material with such comprehensiveness, clearness, and lucidity of exposition that, while he popularized the opinions of his illustrious forerunners, he at the same time made their works superfluous and helped to sink them into an oblivion from which they were not rescued until the nineteenth century.
Ḳimḥi was, however, conscious of his position as an epigone, as is evident from his short preface to the "Miklol." His grammatical material is drawn chiefly from the works of Ḥayyuj and Ibn Janaḥ and from the writings of his own father. He tries to understand the language from itself, seeking analogies in later Hebrew, less frequently in Aramaic and Arabic. Joseph Caspi and Profiat Duran frequently attack him, but Elisha b. Abraham defends him in his work "Magen Dawid" (Constantinople, 1517). The "Institutiones" and the "Thesaurus" of Sanctus Pagninus are essentially nothing else but elaborations of Ḳimḥi's "Miklol"; and Reuchlin and Sebastian Münster have also made considerable use of his work. The latest important work on Hebrew grammar, by E. König, is written "with constant reference to Ḳimḥi."
Also connected with grammar is Ḳimḥi's work "'Eṭ Sofer," containing rules for the writing of Bible-rolls, Masoretic notes, and accents.
His "Book of Roots," the second part of the "Miklol," shows Ḳimḥi to be even more independent. Although based primarily on the dictionary of Ibn Janaḥ, he is quite self-reliant in the treatment of his subject. Besides Ibn Janaḥ he quotes as authorities Jacob b. Eleazar and his own father. He refers frequently in his dictionary to Masorah and grammar. He increased lexicological material through numerous fresh etymologies as well as through new comparisons with modern Hebrew and Aramaic. Many words he translates into his Provençal vernacular, and at times compares this latter with Hebrew.
Ḳimḥi wrote commentaries on Genesis, the Prophets, the Psalms, and Chronicles. Some scholars ascribe to him also commentaries on the remaining books of the Bible. He wrote, too, a philosophic explanation of the cosmogony and of Ezekiel's vision. In the introduction to his commentary on the Prophets he explains the duty of expounding the Bible from a religious standpoint. In a general way he adheres to the literal meaning of Scripture; and his exegesis is based on grammar and rationality. At times, however, he introduces into his explanations philosophy; and some Biblical narratives he, following Maimonides, explains as visions. His commentary on the Psalms is especially noted for its polemics against Christianity. The numerous quotations from the Targumim scattered throughout his writings furnish valuable material for a futurecritical edition of these works. In the Middle Ages Ḳimḥi's commentaries were held in high repute among Christians as well as Jews, and numerous Latin translations were made of them: the influence of his commentaries on the English Bible is evident on every page (comp. Abrahams, "Jewish Life in the Middle Ages," ch. xix.). Besides his commentaries he wrote "Bi'ur Shemot ha-Nebu'ah" and "Bi'ur Sheloshah 'Asar 'Iḳḳarim."
Ḳimḥi's polemics against Christianity, contained in his commentary on the Psalms, were, after they had been omitted by the censor in later prints, published separately under the title "Teshubot la-Noẓerim." His "'Wikkuaḥ,"against Christianity, is contained in "Milḥemet Ḥobah" (Constantinople, 1790). In the quarrel between the Maimonists and the anti-Maimonists, Ḳimḥi took a very active part, defending Maimonides. At an advanced age he traveled as a delegate from the cities of Lunel and Narbonne to Spain to induce the Jewish communities there to side with the Maimonists. Having fallen sick in Avila he could not complete his journey, and entered into correspondence with Judah al-Fakhkhar, but with little success.

G. C. L.David Ḳimḥi:
Lived in France about 1350; for him Moses b. David Ḳimḥi (see below) wrote, in 1383, Vatican Manuscript No. 221, 4 (Steinschneider, "Hebr. Bibl." xi. 135).
Lived in Constantinople prior to 1738.
Lived at Frascati, Italy, in 1326 (Berliner's "Magazin," i. 45).
Died in Rome in 1717; his epitaph was published by Berliner in "Monatsschrift" (xxxiv. 382) and in "Hildesheimer Jubelschrift" (p. 105).
Father of Sinai Ḳimḥi; rabbi in Constantinople about 1700.
Lived in Castiglione, Italy, about 1378 (see Buber, "Sifre de-Agudta," p. 1b, Wilna, 1880; Berliner, in "Monatsschrift," xxxiv. 382).
Rabbi in Constantinople, where, in 1736, he wrote an approbation for the "Reshit Ḥokmah" (Roest, l.c. p. 337).
Lived in Arles in 1394 (Gross, "Gallia Judaica," p. 89).
Lived in Arles about 1393 (see Gross in "Monatsschrift," xxix. 174).
Casuist and liturgist at Nyons (France) during the fourteenth century; known also as Mestre Petit de Nyons. He was the author of a responsum, of "azharot" found in the Avignon and in the Carpentras maḥzors, and of a commentary upon the azharot of Solomon ibn Gabirol. A number of responsa of Solomon b. Adret are addressed to Isaac. He is said to have written other Talmudic works, and is in general highly spoken of by his contemporaries (see Zunz, "Z. G." p. 466; Landshuth, "'Ammude ha-'Abodah," p. 124; Renan-Neubauer, "Les Rabbins Français," p. 680; Gross, "Gallia Judaica," p. 385).
Rabbi in Hebron about 1783.
Author of '"Abodat Yisrael" (Smyrna, 1736), of an explanation of the 'Abodah of the Day of Atonement, and of a responsum found in "Mayim Rabbim (see Azulai, "Shem ha-Gedolim," ii. 50; Benjacob, "Oẓar ha-Sefarim," p. 427).
G.Jacob Ḳimḥi:
Hebraist and pedler; born at Constantinople 1720; died in London about 1800; a son of Samuel Ḳimḥi, and a descendant of the ancient and noted family of Ḳimḥi. He was a wellknown character in the city of London, where, as an itinerant vender of Oriental slippers, he frequented the vicinity of the Royal Exchange.
Ḳimḥi was the author of "Shoshannat Ya'aḳob," a commentary on the tractates Beẓah and Ta'anit (Constantinople, 1748). His portrait was painted by Oseas Humphreys (1799), who was attracted by Ḳim-ḥi's picturesque appearance.

J. S. Le.Joseph b. Isaac Ḳimḥi (RIḲaM; surnamed Maistre Petit):
Grammarian, exegete, poet, and translator; born in southern Spain about 1105; died about 1170. Forced to leave his native country owing to the religious persecutions of the Almohades, he settled in Narbonne, Provence, where he probably spent the rest of his life. The report that he was buried in Mayence deserves no credit.
He lived in poor circumstances, and in addition to his literary labors he was active as a teacher. Of his many students the names of only a few have come down. Besides his own son Moses there are mentioned R. Joseph ibn Zabarah, R. Menahem b. Simon of Posquières, and R. Solomon b. Isaac ha-Nesiah. His son David, though but a child at the time of his father's death, may also be considered one of Ḳimḥi's pupils, either directly through his works, or indirectly through the instruction he (David) received from his elder brother Moses.
Abraham ibn Ezra, who in his wanderings visitedNarbonne in 1160, must have met Joseph. The latter followed Ibn Ezra in some particulars, e.g., in the use of the stem V07p496001.jpg for the paradigm of the verb. Ibn Ezra, on the other hand, quotes Ḳimḥi in his commentaries on the Bible. Both scholars worked at the same time and along the same lines to popularize Judæo-Arabic science among the Jews of Christian Europe by excerpting from and translating Arabic works. Although Ibn Ezra was Ḳimḥi's superior in knowledge, the latter can rightly claim to have been the first successful transplanter of Judæo-Arabic science in the soil of Christian Europe. His diction is elegant and lucid, the disposition of his material scientific, his treatment of his subject even and without digressions; so that his works are much better adapted for study than those of Ibn Ezra, which lack all these qualifications.
Another famous contemporary of Ḳimḥi was R. Jacob b. Meïr, surnamed "R. Tam," of Ramerupt, who was the greatest Talmudic authority of the day. This scholar, wishing to settle the literary quarrel between the followers of Menahem b. Saruḳ and of Dunash b. Labraṭ, had written a book of "hakra'ot" (decisions), in which he took the part of Menahem. These decisions did not satisfy Ḳimḥi; and, feeling himself better able than R. Tam to pass judgment in the case, he wrote (1165) his "Sefer ha-Galui." This work falls into two parts: the first treats of the differences between Menahem and Dunash; the second contains independent criticisms on the former's dictionary. In the introduction Ḳimḥi apologizes for daring to come forward against so eminent a man as the leading Talmudic authority of his time. Hearing that the ignorant among the people will attack him on that account, he puts into their mouths the words which Abner, the captain of Saul, spoke, when David cried out to the king: "Who art thou that criest to the king?" (I Sam. xxvi. 14). His fears were realized; for Benjamin of Canterbury, a pupil of R. Tam, made observations on the "Sefer ha-Galui," defending his teacher. He also called Ḳimḥi in a contemptuous sense "Ha-Ḳore" (= "The Crier"), because the latter ventured to cry his contradictions to the "king," i.e., R. Tam.
In Ḳimḥi's grammatical works "Sefer Zikkaron" (edited by Bacher, Berlin, 1888) and "Sefer ha-Galui" (edited by Matthews, ib. 1887) he is dependent on Ḥayyuj for the treatment of his subject, but in his explanations of words he relies mainly on Ibn Janah. On the whole, he is not original; in minor points, however, he goes his own way, becoming therein the model for future generations. Thus he was the first to recognize that the hif'il has also a reflexive and an intransitive meaning; he was also the first to arrange a list of nominal forms, to indicate eight verb classes, and to classify the vowels into a system of five short and five long ones. In his works he pays frequent attention also to the language of the liturgy. In his etymological explanations he seeks for analogies in Bible, Talmud, Targum, and in Arabic. In cases where such analogies are wanting or unsatisfactory he is guided by the principle, "The unknown must be deduced from the known." Not seldom he explains difficult words on the basis of phonetic laws laid down by himself.
Of his exegetical works few have been preserved. Mention is made of his "Sefer ha-Torah," a commentary on the Pentateuch; his "Sefer ha-Miḳnah," a commentary on the Prophets; and his "Ḥibbur ha-Leḳeṭ," of unknown contents. A commentary by him on Canticles exists in manuscript; his commentary on Proverbs has been published by Bär Dubrowo under the title "Sefer Ḥuḳḳah" (Breslau, 1868); and variants to the badly printed text are given by Eppenstein in "Zeit. für Hebr. Bibl." v. 143 et seq. A fragment of his commentary on the Book of Job has been published by Schwarz in his "Tiḳwat Enosh" (Berlin, 1868); the remaining portions, by Eppenstein in "R. E. J." xxxvii. 86 et seq. Many exegetical remarks are scattered throughout Ḳim-ḥi's grammatical works. His method is mostly that of the peshaṭ, i.e., literal interpretation. He frequently follows the Spanish school, without, however, reading into the Scriptural text the scientific knowledge of his own time. He pays a great deal of attention to the context, a point usually neglected by haggadists. His explanations are short and terse. While criticizing at times some untenable explanations of his predecessors, he accepts such as seem to him to be correct. He is the first eclectic of the Provençal school of exegetes.
Ḳimḥi tried his hand also at writing poetry. His liturgical hymns and other poems which have come down are indeed distinguished by beauty of form and elegance of language. In spirit, however, they can not be compared with the works of the great Spanish poets. Nevertheless he retains importance as one of the Provençal poets. His poems met with consideration at the hands of later generations and were frequently quoted by them.
He translated Baḥya ibn Paḳuda's ethical work "Hobot ha-Lebabot" from Arabic into Hebrew; and he turned Ibn Gabirol's "Mibḥar ha-Peninim" into metrical form under the title "Sheḳel ha-Kodesh." Of the translation only a fragment has been preserved, which has been published by Jellinek in Benjacob's edition of Ibn Tibbon's translation of that work (Leipsic, 1846); the "Sheḳel" is still unprinted. In his translation, aiming chiefly at elegance of expression, Ḳimḥi does not keep to the original. He works too independently and, carrying into the work his own spirit, he often obscures the thought of the author. Notwithstanding its defects, his translation is not without merit. It has contributed to a better understanding of the Arabic authors, and is, therefore, to be considered in a certain sense as supplementing the works of the Tibbonides.
Finally mention must be made of Ḳimḥi's apologetic work "Sefer ha-Berit," a fragment of which was published in "Milḥemet Ḥobah" (Constantinople, 1710). This work was written at the request of one of his pupils who wished to have a collection of all the prophetic passages in Scripture that might serve as aids in refuting those personswho denied the Torah. It is in the form of a dialogue between a loyal Jew and an apostate. The loyal Jew claims that the true religion of the Jew may be recognized by the moral conduct of the individual; all Jews are intent on carrying out in their lives the Decalogue; they give no divine honors to any one besides God; do not perjure themselves; commit no murder; and are not robbers. Their children are educated in the fear of God; their women are chaste; the Jews are hospitable toward one another, perform works of charity, and redeem captives—all virtues which are not found in such a high degree among non-Jews. The apostate admits all these claims, but points out that Jews demand high interest on loans. This objection the loyal Jew meets with the statement that non-Jews also are usurers, and that they impose upon members of their own faith, while rich Jews lend money to their coreligionists without any interest whatever. The "Sefer ha-Berit" is of importance as showing the moral condition of the Jews at that time, and as bearing testimony to the conditions of those days, in which the Jews in the Provence could freely express themselves not only with regard to their own religion, but also with regard to the religion of their neighbors.

G. C. L.Joseph b. Saul Ḳimḥi:
Author of a commentary to the astronomical tables of Jacob Bonet (1361; Renan-Neubauer, "Ecrivains Juifs," p. 701).
Lived about 1671, in the East. A responsum of his is cited in Moses Benveniste's "Pene Mosheh," ii., § 123 (see Benjacob, l.c. p. 30).
Grandson of David Ḳimḥi; lived in Provence toward the end of the thirteenth century. For him the cabalist Jacob b. Jacob ha-Kohen wrote his "Perush ha-Otiyyot" (see Steinschneider, in "Monatsschrift," xxxiv. 528).
G.Moses Ḳimḥi:
Father of Samuel; perhaps identical with Moses ha-Zaḳen Ḳimḥi; lived about 1342 in Sicily (see Zunz, "Z. G." P. 516; Steinschneider, "Hebr. Bibl." xi. 135).
His epitaph, dated Rome, 1726, has been published by Berliner, in "Monatsschrift" (xxxiv. 382), and in the "Hildesheiner Jubelschrift" (p. 105).
Wrote the Vatican manuscript No. 221, 4, in 1383, in Rodez, France (Steinschneider, l.c. xi. 135).
Commentator and grammarian; elder brother and teacher of David Ḳimḥi. He presumably lived together with his father and his brother in Narbonne, and must have died about 1190. The works of his which have been preserved are: commentaries on Proverbs, Ezra, and Nehemiah, printed in the rabbinic Bibles as the work of Abraham ibn Ezra; a commentary on Job, published by Schwarz in his "Tiḳwat Enosh" (Berlin, 1868); "Sekel Ṭob," a grammatical treatise, published by Castelli in "R. E. J." xxviii. 212, xxix. 100; and "Mahalak Shebile ha-Da'at," the first concise methodical text-book of Hebrew grammar. His terminology deviates in some essential points from that of his father, a phenomenon probably due to the influence of Ibn Ezra. As paradigm for the verb appears here for the first time the verb "paḳad"; also the following order of the conjugations: "ḳal," "nif'al," "pi'el," "pu'al," "hif'il," "hof'al," "po'el," "hitpa'el." Both these innovations influenced the later text-books on Hebrew grammar.
Ḳimḥi's "Mahalak" became of importance in the first half of the sixteenth, century, when it formed the shortest and most useful text-book for the study of Hebrew by non-Jews. It was edited many times, and was translated into Latin by Sebastian Münster. Elijah Levita wrote annotations to it. Besides the works enumerated above, some liturgical poems of Ḳimḥi's have been preserved.

Inside architect Philip Johnson's Dh28m Alice Ball House

The Wall House, in New Canaan, Connecticut, tells the story of two architects: American modernist Philip Johnson, one of the famed Harvard Five, and Postmodernist designer Reja Bakh, who is known for creating spaces that blend the boundaries between indoors and out.
The Harvard Five, which also included John Johansen, Marcel Breuer, Landis Gores and Eliot Noyes, were known for spearheading a move away from the overdesigned Victorian-inspired style of the time towards a more minimalist aesthetic, with sharp edges, clean lines and, in Johnson's case, plenty of glass. His philosophy was that great architecture is "the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts or stimulates the persons in that space". And instead of homes that emphasised privacy, the builder prioritised the outdoors, with inspiring views, sociable patios and visually vanishing thresholds.
Johnson, who died in 2005, built his famed Glass House in the 1940s with the intention of using it as his personal residence. The award-winning architect later decided to build the Alice Ball House nearby to live in, and used the Glass House for the lavish parties he was famed for throwing. Currently, the Glass House is a museum listed in the National Register of Historic Places, but its more liveable version is on the market.

When Bakh bought Alice Ball in 2015, allegedly to save it from being demolished, he went on to design a new 1,000-square-foot residence, Wall House, influenced by German-American architect Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion. This new, as yet unbuilt structure will sit on a 2.2-acre compound that will incorporate both homes, linking them through a series of long vistas and walls – with some connected and others appearing to be free-floating. Bakh has said he wants the future owner of Wall House to display "a similar appreciation of modern architectural history in collecting a piece of work by a master".
As shown through renderings, the unification of Alice Ball and Wall House will provide a large living room, three bedrooms, an indoor pool and spa, a 14-car underground garage with skylights and a cellar, plus a Johnson-design sculpture garden. Bakh envisions the 1,500-square-foot Alice Ball space as being repurposed as a collector's gallery. The living and dining areas of the new all-white residence will be surrounded by glass walls, which will look directly out on to Alice Ball House, while the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen will offer more privacy.
While the plans and basic masonry are in place, the new house has not been erected, which gives potential buyers the chance to tweak and furnish the layout to suit their preferences. Once it sells, Bakh has a team ready to oversee the building of Wall House and make minor updates to Alice Ball House. According to the architect, the project has the full support of the Glass House foundation, with the museum itself located a five-minute drive away.
The Wall House plot is listed with Sotheby's International Realty for US$7.7 million (Dh28.3m).

Hearing impairment is caused by many different factors, the most common cause of hearing loss often develops with age or exposure to excessively loud noise. Hearing loss progresses over time and it is best to recognise the signs early.
Quality of life can be significantly compromised for people with hearing loss and their families. The extent of the hearing loss varies too, from a mild to a severe hearing loss where loud safety signals may not be heard. More commonly it is manifested as a difficulty with word understanding, particularly in the presence of background noise.
In contradiction to many people's understanding, hearing loss is rarely similar to the effect of turning down the volume on a stereo. It usually affects different frequencies of sound by varying amounts. This can lead to conversations being difficult to follow, particularly in noisy environments where competing background noise' scrambles speech and conversations are the single biggest reason that people seek our help.
If you feel that your hearing is not what it used to be, or are concerned that a loved one may be experiencing hearing loss, take a couple of minutes to do our online hearing test to evaluate your hearing health.
There are three forms of hearing loss, Conductive, Sensorineural and Mixed Hearing Loss.
However, conductive loss accounts for only 10% of all hearing losses, and they range from mild to moderate in severity. The good news is that conductive hearing loss can often be medically treated, and in many cases, hearing could be restored.
When volume is sufficiently increased, clarity and understanding are usually intact for someone with a conductive hearing loss. Other symptoms may also be present, such as ear pain, drainage from the ears, or a feeling of pressure or a blockage.
Each cause can lead to damage to the sensory hair cells or nerves. Once damaged, the hair cells can't repair themselves nor be medically treated. Therefore, 90% of hearing losses cannot be cured.
A sensorineural hearing loss can be of any degree, mild, moderate, severe or profound. In more than 95% of cases involving sensorineural hearing loss, hearing aids or cochlear implants are the recommended course of treatment.
While the overall volume of sound may be reduced, the clarity of sounds or voices are also affected. People with sensorineural hearing loss will often hear people speaking, but can't always understand all the words, even when the volume is adequate. Music may also sound distorted, leading to decreased enjoyment.
The transmission of sound can be blocked in multiple places along the auditory path. When a hearing loss occurs from conditions in the inner ear as well as the outer and/or middle ear, this is known as mixed hearing loss.
An example of a mixed hearing loss may be someone with inner ear damage due to exposure to noise in their workplace over many years, who also currently has an infection that has led to a fluid build up in the middle ear.
While the ageing process is a major contributor to hearing loss, it is certainly not a condition reserved for the later stages of life. Studies have shown that exposure to noise is thought to be a contributing factor in around 37% of cases of the condition – and interestingly, around 50% of Australians with hearing loss are still of traditional working age (i.e. under 65 years).
Not surprisingly, given the impact of noise, males are considerably more likely to have hearing loss than women, including being twice as likely to have a moderate to severe hearing loss.
These days, people are more aware of the damage that noise can do to their hearing. This is illustrated through mandatory provision of ear protection on work sites and within factories. Nevertheless, every day millions of Australians are exposing themselves to noise levels that will surely lead to long-term damage to their hearing, including the use of personal stereo systems.
Nerves have different sensitivities to deformation of the sensory hair cells within the cochlea. A sound that has high frequencies of vibration will excite receptor cells near the opening of the cochlea, while a sound mostly containing low frequencies will stimulate cells at the end of the cochlea.
Commonly, over time the high frequency hair cell receptors receive more movement by the incoming pressure waves of the fluid inside the cochlea so are more prone to long term damage than the low frequency hair cell receptors, which are more protected further up the cochlea.

Sailing topographical oceans: the absorbing pleasures of the gatefold album
June 25, 2019 Daniel Harding	Leave a comment
Ah, the beguiling Elysian fields of the gatefold-album. The grand vistas which floated into view at the marvellously magical moment of opening the twin record-sleeves for the first time. There's something almost awe-inspiring, a religiosity about opening up a gatefold LP album for it to occupy a space wider than your own head. It's something of an immersive experience, allowing you to explore the fascinating, intricate details of the album cover (particularly important with, for instance, Roger Dean's artwork for Yes albums, and a feature of prog-rock). In fact, the wider vistas which the gatefold created were perhaps integral to the nature of the concept album, and the mystical synergy which allowed partnerships like Yes and Dean to craft a product where the outside mirrored, nay, even enhanced the inside.
The gatefold packaging of rock music, and of prog-rock in particular, demanded that you gave yourself over entirely to listening to an album, and the information often packed into the densely-loaded inner vistas which gatefold packaging offered turned the consumption of an album into a total immersion-type experience; you submitted yourself entirely to the sonic, visual and textual odyssey, surrendering the senses in an entirely legal (though not necessarily non-addictive) way. I remember one of the earliest gatefold LPs I ever bought, Never for Ever by Kate Bush, which features a plethora of animals, both real and mythical, bursting unstoppably from beneath the songstress' skirt.
Bats, birds and butterflies adorned the inner covers, either hovering above them or seeming to burst through from the other side (I loved the implied three-dimensionality there), and there was now the chance (as always) of pressing your nose up against the lyrics to try and decipher their meaning. Was it THAT Delius about whom she was singing ?
Jazz, too, embraced the gatefold packaging; who can forget the back cover of Weather Report's 8.30 featuring the band casually sitting around engaged in a whose-shoes-are-the-longest competition, clearly won by Jaco Pastorius in those impossible, never-ending, glowing-white winkle-pickers ?
Or the mysterious, hallucinatory, swirling panorama (perfectly mirroring the music) that appeared when you opened up Miles Davis' Bitches Brew and saw front and back covers side-by-side, turning into a single yin-and-yang image, featuring what seemed to be a high priestess and acolyte engaged some sombre ritual on the left, mirrored by a couple standing in the surging surf beneath an ominously-looming sky on the right ?
Contrastingly, there was African Sun by pianist Dollar Brand, that offered the opportunity to sink into the front cover's warm, orange glow.
Rather than simply printing the lyrics to the songs and the band line-up, prog-rock positively luxuriated in the creative possibilities afforded by gatefold's inner and outer covers, and it was also a way for puzzled fans to really scrutinise the mytho-poetic lyrics, and really get to grips with all the references and the pastoral imagery of something like Nursery Cryme, from Genesis in its early years. Following the magnificent perspective of a impossibly-well manicured lawn hosting a malevolent-looking game of croquet, you flipped over to the inside of the sleeves to reveal what looked like a collection of postcards, complete with chintzy illustrations, each as though tucked into a presentation portfolio by its corners. The bearded figure emerging on a current of notes escaping from 'The Musical Box;' the mock-Victorian image for 'The Return of the Giant Hogweed' showed an innocent young girl standing by a towering weed. And now you could follow the words to 'The Fountains of Salamacis.'
Or Foxtrot, Genesis' next album release; you could follow the complicated narrative of 'Supper's Ready' by perusing the lyrics, which unfolded against a (deliberately misleading) background of blue skies and fluffy clouds. And as prog-rock sank beneath the weight of its own over-inflated self-aggrandisement, heavy metal came in to occupy the void that it left behind.
(A shameful admission here; I also had the double-LP Livin' Inside Your Love by George Benson (I know, I know…), which I bought when I discovered that he was the guitarist on Miles Davis' Miles in the Sky, and rushed out to find something else by him (I should have done some more research first, shouldn't I…); the LP's soft-focus cover should have been a clue, hinting at the soft-focus music contained therein…sigh… )
Prince, too, saw the potential for gatefold's symbolist evangelising, in his Around the World In a Day (although the album, like Never For Ever was only one LP, rather than two); the cover is packed with references to the songs in a slightly trippy evocation of the mythical Paisley Park itself.
There's a fascinating quote by (if memory serves) keyboardist Nick Mason (in Dark Side of the Moon: the making of a Pink Floyd Masterpiece by John Harris), who observes that the publicity opportunity afforded by the album's presentation was missed; you could open the album out and have it leading across front and back covers in continuous fashion, an effect that he says would have looked spectacular in record shops, only no-one noticed the potential to display it so. (My copy is currently in the loft, and I only have the one so sadly can't endeavour to create this phenomenon for myself to see the effect…)
Regrettably, cassettes and, later, CD reissues couldn't offer the same escapism; it was impossible to immerse yourself in liner notes from a CD jewel-case that, when opened out, barely covered both your hands. The printed lyrics were tiny, and the amount of detail in those prog-rock, symbol-saturated album covers was lost at so small an incarnation. I bought Miles Davis' fearsome jazz-rock album, Live-Evil, on CD years later, which endeavoured to recreate the mystique of the gatefold LP with an unfolding four-sides cardboard presentation style, but it wasn't the same; it lacked the imperiousness of the LP's sheer physical presence. And don't even get me started on the (literally) unfolding, multi-level misery of Prince's Emancipation on cassette…
I've necessarily limited this to a discussion of some of the albums I have, or used to have (there's also somewhere in my loft Queen's A Night At The Opera and, I think, Sheer Heart Attack, and Tippett's impenetrable opera, The Knot Garden, plus Joni Mitchell's eminently forgettable Chalk Mark in a Rainstorm, in gatefold format); a full examination of the Gatefold Phenomenon would take years, and embrace such thorny issues as what was the FIRST gatefold release (do you include 78s that were released in this way ?) – Bing Crosby, Elvis, Bob Dylan ? – what was the most controversial (Bowie's Diamond Dogs, Black Sabbath's self-titled album ?) – what about gatefold inner covers that just featured a nicely-pleasing photo of the band (Seargent Pepper ?) rather than going down the whole concept-art-tunnel ? Do you include albums that only had one LP rather than being a double LP release, the latter arguably a more justified reason to package with two sleeves ? You see what I mean…
These days, of course, streaming and digital platforms have all but rendered the physical presentation of an album obsolete, sacrificing (in my view) the ability to play whatever you want, whenever you want on your digital device for the sheer, tangible, pleasure of the impact of the album's artwork. But vinyl is making a comeback – time for Gatefold Novices to get out there and experience the heady delights, that transcendent rapture, of unfolding a double LP on its first playing…

Smooth gearshifts are achieved thanks to the 3.5 liter 6 cylinder engine, and for added security, dynamic Stability Control supplements the drivetrain. Top features include air conditioning, delay-off headlights, a tachometer, variably intermittent wipers, a rear step bumper, tilt steering wheel, and a split folding rear seat. With side curtain airbags supplementing the rest of the safety network, you can be assured that you and your passengers will experience top-tier protection. You will have a pleasant shopping experience that is fun, informative, and never high pressured. Please don't hesitate to give us a call.


It's been nearly 30 years since celebrated decorator Vicente Wolf first settled into his light-filled 3,000-square-foot loft — previously an industrial sewing factory — in NYC's Garment District. Along with its plaster walls, concrete floors, and exposed sprinkler systems, the gallery-like white backdrop has remained unchanged over the years. "I wanted it to be a canvas for the things that are inside of the apartment," says Vicente. It was this simple yet purposeful gesture that set the stage for a home that is light, airy, and constantly evolving, thanks to new shipments of antiques from origins such as Indonesia and Belgium. We stopped by recently to talk collecting, decorating, and loft-style living with this man about town.

Q: c++ - delayed execution of code Let's say we are in a function that gets called whenever a mousebutton is pressed
static inline LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(const int code, const WPARAM wParam, const LPARAM lParam){

}

I would now like to execute some code, after no button has been pressed for 5 seconds. If after 2 seconds, the user clicks a mousebutton, the "timer" should be reset and wait another 5 seconds.
Can this even be done in C++? If I use Sleep(5000), I cannot prevent the code from running if another button is pressed in between.

A: Here's my class (it's not perfect but you can look how it could be done) to control heartbeat of program behind the socket. When beat() method is called, timer is "reseted".
    class HeartbeatController
    {
    private:
        using ms = std::chrono::milliseconds;
    public:
        HeartbeatController(std::function<void()> &heartbeatLostCallback,
                            const ms &panicTime = ms{5000}, //time in milliseconds, after which panic code will be executed
                            const ms &checkDuration = ms{ 1000 }) noexcept :
            heartbeatLostCallback{ heartbeatLostCallback }
        {}

        ~HeartbeatController() = default;

        HeartbeatController(HeartbeatController &&other) :
            heartbeatLostCallback{ std::move(other.heartbeatLostCallback) },
            loopThread{ std::move(other.loopThread) },
            lastBeat{ std::move(other.lastBeat) },
            panicTime{ std::move(other.panicTime) },
            checkDuration{ std::move(other.checkDuration) }
        {}

        HeartbeatController& operator=(HeartbeatController &&other)
        {
            heartbeatLostCallback = std::move(other.heartbeatLostCallback);
            loopThread = std::move(other.loopThread);
            lastBeat = std::move(other.lastBeat);
            panicTime = std::move(other.panicTime);
            checkDuration = std::move(other.checkDuration);

            return *this;
        }

        HeartbeatController(const HeartbeatController&) = delete;
        HeartbeatController& operator=(const HeartbeatController&) = delete;

        void interrupt() noexcept
        {
            interrupted = true;
        }

        void beat() noexcept
        {
            lastBeat = Clock::now();
        }

        void start()
        {
            auto loop = [this]
            {
                while (!interrupted)
                {
                    if (Clock::now() - lastBeat > panicTime)
                        heartbeatLostCallback(); //here you can insert some your code which you wanna execute after no beat() for panicTime duration

                    std::this_thread::sleep_for(checkDuration);
                }
            };

            lastBeat = Clock::now();

            loopThread = std::thread{ loop };
        }

    private:
        using Clock = std::chrono::system_clock;

        std::reference_wrapper<std::function<void()>> heartbeatLostCallback;
        std::thread loopThread;

        std::chrono::time_point<Clock> lastBeat;
        std::chrono::milliseconds panicTime;
        std::chrono::milliseconds checkDuration;

        bool interrupted = false;
    };
