Both users and developers are very important to me. That's why I try to make using something technically complicated like a custom bootloader and multibooting Android as easy as possible.
EFIDroid provides an easy Installer, good looking Material Design user interfaces and uses very dynamic code.

• Synclavier® PowerPC™ is a complete conversion of the Synclavier® software to a PowerPC-based Macintosh computer.
• A Macintosh application named Synclavier® PowerPC™ runs on the Macintosh and creates a computer environment that mimics the computer inside the Synclavier.
• Our new custom PCI hardware interface will enable this computer environment to access voice cards, Poly RAM, and the other hardware modules within the Synclavier tower via one high speed cable link.
• The end result of this effort will be an integrated PowerPC-based Synclavier that can also blend seamlessly into a networked Macintosh environment while maintaining complete compatibility with the original Synclavier hardware. The best of both worlds!
How does Synclavier® PowerPC™ work?
• Synclavier® PowerPC™ 1.0 is a Macintosh application program and associated hardware modules that provide for Macintosh-native operation of the complete Synclavier Real Time Software.
• A PCI-processor interface card installs in the PCI slot of your PowerPC based Macintosh computer. This interface card communicates with your existing Synclavier voice cards and hardware modules using a high-speed multi-conductor twisted-pair cable and an adapter board in your Synclavier tower.
• The end result is a seamless integration of the Synclavier software into an operating environment that runs in native mode on your Macintosh's PowerPC processor.
• Load sound files directly from a Macintosh hard drive or computer network into PolyRAM.
• The ability to us Mac style file management to help you organise and manage sound and data files stored on your Synclavier.
• Run EditView™ and AutoConform on any Macintosh that is networked to your host computer.
• Run multiple copies of EditView™ at the same time, for example at an edit station and a mix station simultaneously.
• Boot directly from you Macintosh hard drive and eliminate the use of 5-1/4" floppies.
• Realise significantly reduced boot times.
• Notice vastly faster screen drawing on all Synclavier screens, including the G-Screen, Recorder Display, the L-Screen Sample-to-Memory Editor, and the Audio Event Editor.
• Achieve vastly faster editing of sound files using the L-Screen Sample-to-Memory Editor.
• Develop whole new ways of working with your Synclavier that are faster, easier, and more productive. And maybe even fun!
• Preview and edit sequences completely off line with your lap-top during that morning commute, or long haul flight.
• Future compatibility with other third party based hardware and software tools.
• An unbelievable speed increase!
One thing that won't change about your Synclavier is it's sound. You might possibly notice more accurate and crisper rhythms, especially on 64 and 96 voice systems. Real-time effects should be performed more accurately without bogging down the system. Vibrato will be cleaner in complex sequences.
But the sound of the voice cards themselves will be identical.
So when will all of this be available and what will it cost?
Synclavier®PowerPC™ and the PCI interface hardware is available now, and will be priced at £3,995 per upgrade kit for all orders before the end of 1999. Every effort is being made to make this the single most powerful upgrade ever, for the least amount of money.
In addition to the upgrade kit a subscription to our software update program is required for operation.
Those who are not yet signed up and wish to join, should contact Synclavier European Services immediately.

St. Bartholomäus ist eine katholische Pfarrkirche in Bergtheim im unterfränkischen Landkreis Würzburg und ist unter der Nummer D-6-79-117-5 in der Bayerischen Denkmalliste eingetragen.

Geschichte
Fürstbischof Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn begann am 7. August 1604 den Bau einer neuen Pfarrkirche, die im Jahre 1607 von Weihbischof Eucharius Sang konsekriert wurde. 1845 erfolgte eine Erweiterung unter Pfarrer Joseph Anton Viktor Kuhn.

Die heutige Kirche wurde nach Plänen von Dombaumeister Hans Schädel errichtet und am 30. August 1964 von Bischof Josef Stangl eingeweiht. Dabei blieb der Turm der alten Kirche aus denkmalpflegerischen Gründen erhalten.

Ausstattung

Der Taufstein in der Taufkapelle im Turm trägt die Jahreszahl 1536. Das Turmfenster sowie die Lichtbänder im Innenraum stammen von dem Würzburger Kunstmaler Curd Lessig.

Das Kreuz über dem Altar sowie die Tabernakelsäule hat der Bergtheimer Künstler Karl Hornung geschaffen. Ambo und Altar bestehen aus massivem schwarzem Muschelkalkstein.

Vom Hochaltar der früheren Kirche stammen die Statuen der drei Figuren des hl. Petrus, Christus Salvator und des hl. Paulus, von den Seitenaltären die der Muttergottes und des hl. Bartholomäus als Kirchenpatron. Dessen Attribute, Messer und Sterne, finden sich im Gemeindewappen von Bergtheim.

Orgel

Die Orgel mit elektrischer Traktur wurde 1965 von der "Orgelbauanstalt Gustav Weiß Zellingen" geliefert. An der Ostwand der Kirche ragt zu beiden Seiten des Turmes je ein Podest in den Kirchenraum, auf welchen die zweiteilige Orgel positioniert ist.

Sie verfügt über 18 klingende Register, die auf zwei Manuale und Pedal verteilt sind, wobei sich das "Hauptwerk" links und das "Oberwerk" rechts vom Organisten befindet. Das Instrument hat folgende Disposition:

 Koppeln: II/I, I/P, II/P
 Spielhilfen: 1 freie Kombination, Tutti, Walze an, Crescendo-Walze

Glocken
Die Kirche besitzt vier Glocken. Zwei Glocken wurden 1911 von der Glockengießerei Klaus in Heidingsfeld gegossen. Die beiden anderen wurden von der Glockengießerei Otto in Hemelingen bei Bremen zur Einweihung 1964 neu beschafft. Die Tonfolge
lautet d′ — f′ — g′ — a′.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will regain the speaker's gavel after the November midterm elections — at least according to the latest analysis by polling expert Larry Sabato.
A new poll sponsored by the University of Virginia Center for Politics finds that an overwhelming number of Trump voters agree with his statement that the press is the enemy of the American people.
Between his low approval numbers and the existence of at least one, if not more popular potential Republican challengers, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has emerged as the most vulnerable Democrat in the upcoming election cycle according to Larry Sabato.


Re: Foxbats over Dimona: The Soviets' Nuclear Gamble in the Six-Day War, by Isabella Ginor and Gideon Remez.
Ginor and Remez argue in this book that the Soviet Union played a much larger role in the June 1967 Arab-Israeli War than has been recognized previously. Far from seeking to avoid the outbreak of this war or being surprised by its occurrence, Ginor and Remez claim that Moscow deliberately provoked an Israeli attack on Egypt. Further, it did so in the expectation that Egyptian forces would be able to resist this Israeli attack and then (along with Syrian and Jordanian forces) launch an attack of their own that would either lead to a protracted conflict or overwhelm Israel. With the United States already bogged down in Vietnam, the Soviets calculated that Washington would do little to help an Israel that struck first — or to prevent Soviet forces from destroying Israeli nuclear facilities in and around Dimona (thus preventing Israel from acquiring nuclear weapons) and otherwise becoming directly involved in the conflict.

Q: java read content from SequenceInputStream issue I am trying to read content from SequenceInputStream
but it return me null but when i inspect it contains value please refer the screenshot

following is my code
InputStream is = m.getContent(InputStream.class);
SequenceInputStream si = new SequenceInputStream(is, null);
int j;
int i=0;
while((i=si.read())!=-1) {
    System.out.print((char)i);
}

I also tryid to read it from InputStream
but the same output

follwoing is my input stream read code
              CachedOutputStream bos = new CachedOutputStream();

                  IOUtils.copy(is,bos);
                  String soapMessage = new String(bos.getBytes());
                  System.out.println("-------------------------------------------");
                  System.out.println("incoming message is " + soapMessage);
                  System.out.println("-------------------------------------------");
                  bos.flush();

A: It is mandatory to use two streams should be not null. If anyone of the stream is null you will get null pointer exception after reading the first one.
you change your code to SequenceInputStream si = new SequenceInputStream(null, is); you get NPE at first place
Why you have to use sequenceInputStream to read the content. You can use below code or any other stream reader
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
IOUtils.copy(inputStream, writer, encoding);
String theString = writer.toString();

Thanks,
Gowtham

Modern and quiet villa with private pool in the urbanization of Es Palmer in Campos, ideal for 8 people.
At the porch overlooking the pool you can share laughs and talks while the children are playing in the water. The 7mx 4m chlorine water pool with a depth ranging from 0.8m to 1.7m is surrounded by a gravel area with six sun loungers. After a long day on the beach, take a refreshing exterior shower or have a tasty barbecue on the second porch. This marvelous house has no direct neighbors so you can enjoy your privacy.
The spacious rooms are distributed on two floors. On the ground floor, a romantic living-dining room invites you to recline on the sofa and watch a film on the satellite-TV. A fully-equipped kitchen with gas hob is the favorite room of all chefs. The old fireplace can't be used and is a nice decorative element. The dining area is a journey into the past of this house as it shows antic objects. A laundry features a washer, iron and ironing board. On the ground floor there's one bedroom with two twin beds without air conditioning and a second bedroom with double bed with air conditioning. Besides, there's a bathroom with bathtub and another bath with shower.

Just 6 km from the dreamlike beach of Es Trenc, this house is set in a quiet and idyllic area. Es Trenc is one of the most beautiful beaches of the island because of its fine grained sand, the natural dunes and the crystal clear water.

Q: Is there a way to update a custom field in Wordpress with a front-end file upload? I am trying to update a custom WordPress-field with a file upload from a front-end form.
Example:
<form action="submit"><input type="file" name="file_upload"><button type="submit">Submit</button></form>

Now I am looking for the php code that updates the custom field (file upload) in WordPress named 'file_upload' of a post with a certain ID. The plugin I use is 'Advanced Custom Fields'.
EDIT:
I get the file via an $_FILES request in PhP:
$file_upload = $_FILES['file_upload'];

Then I try to handle the upload via this method:
$file_upload_id = media_handle_upload( $file_upload, 0 );

Is this the right way to do it?

A: First of all you have to upload your file into your upload directory
then you can use this function to update file path. ACF update Field
update_field( 'file_upload', $file_path_value, $post_id );

Go through this PHP File Upload tutorial it may helps you to upload file.
I am setting up a basic example here so just you can get an idea.
$wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir() // Use Wordpres wp_upload_dir() to get proper URL and path
$target_dir = $wp_upload_dir['basedir'];
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["file_upload"]["name"]);

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file_upload"]["tmp_name"], $target_file)) {
    echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["file_upload"]["name"]). " has been uploaded.";
    update_field( 'file_upload', $target_file, $post_id );
} else {
    echo "Sorry, there was an error uploading your file.";
}

I have not tested this code, but you can get the basic idea from it

A: Wordpress has a build in upload function that returns the attachment id you need to update the field, its recommended to use a nonce field to verify it's the right place.
    if (
        isset( $_POST['my_image_upload_nonce'], $_POST['post_id'] )
        && wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['my_image_upload_nonce'], 'my_image_upload' )
    ) {
        require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
        require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/file.php' );
        require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/media.php' );
        $attachment_id = media_handle_upload( 'my_image_upload', $_POST['post_id'] );
        if ( is_wp_error( $attachment_id ) ) {
            update_field('image', $attachment_id, $_POST['post_id']);
        } else {
       // The image was uploaded successfully!
    }

    } else {

    // The security check failed, maybe show the user an error.
    }

Pauliena Rooijakkers (née le  à Venray) est une coureuse cycliste néerlandaise. Elle court pour la formation Canyon-SRAM Racing.

Biographie
Pauliena Rooijakkers est championne des Pays-Bas de cyclisme sur plage à de multiples reprises.

En 2017, lors de l'Emakumeen Euskal Bira, sur l'étape menant au  Sanctuaire de San Migel d'Aralar, elle prend la quatrième place. Elle termine l'épreuve à la dixième place du classement général.

Au Tour de Thuringe, sur la deuxième étape, Pauliena Rooijakkers sort avec Marta Bastianelli. Elle est battue au sprint et prend donc la deuxième place. Elle est souvent à l'avant les journées suivantes pour empocher les points du prix des monts. Elle est également régulièrement à l'attaque sur le Tour d'Italie. Lors de la Classique de Saint-Sébastien, la course décide sur une portion plate. Un groupe de seize coureuses se détachent. Dans la troisième difficulté de la journée, Lucy Kennedy attaque. Pauliena Rooijakkers est troisième au sommet. La course donne lieu à une poursuite entre Lucy Kennedy et Janneke Ensing. Pauliena Rooijakkers se classe troisième.

Au Tour d'Émilie, Pauliena Rooijakkers est troisième de cette course qui se décide dans l'ascension finale vers le Sanctuaire Madonna di San Luca.

According to documents Amazon filed with the regulators at a meeting on August 6 in Bengaluru, the board of directors of Amazon Seller Services Ltd approved allotment of 270 crore equity shares of Rs 10 face value for Rs 2,700 crore to the Singapore-based Amazon Corporate Holdings Ltd and an additional 124,753 shares to Amazon.com Incs Ltd without premium.
"The board of directors of Amazon Retail India Ltd on July 31 agreed to allot 10 crore equity shares of Rs 10 face value for Rs 100 crore to its shareholders (Amazon Corporate Holdings and Amazon.com) without premium on rights basis.
Ahead of the retail giant Walmart taking majority stake (77 per cent) in India's e-tail major Flipkart for $16 billion in May, Amazon invested Rs 2,600 crore in its India operations.

"The Amazon board has consented to allot 260 crore shares of Rs 10 face value aggregating Rs 2,600 crore to the shareholders on rights basis in the ratio of their shareholding," said Amazon Services Ltd in a filing with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) on May 8.
Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos had earlier committed to invest a whopping $5 billion in India to cash in on the rapid growth in e-commerce business.

Q: problems converting string to JSON Im creating this JSONObject in javascript.
    var jsonBack = {id:userID,"dateToday":today, dateYesterday:yesterday,
                   wbsArrayToday:[{wbs:"13232323"}, {wbs:"13232324"}, {wbs:"13232325"}],
                   wbsArrayYesterday:[{wbs:"13232333"}, {wbs:"13232334"}, {wbs:"13232335"}]};

Then i call this in my android application.
    JSONObject jsonObj = null;
    // Henter response data fra server vha. httpResponse
    HttpEntity entity1 = response.getEntity();
    if (entity1 != null) {
        InputStream is = null;
        try {
            is = entity1.getContent();
            // convert stream to string
            String result = Converter.convertStreamToString(is);

            //Remove []
            //if(result.startsWith("["))
            //  result = result.substring(1, result.length()-1);
            // Create JSON Object
            jsonObj = new JSONObject(result);
        } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw new HttpNodeClientException("HttpNodeClientException/IllegalStateException - createResponse():" + e.getMessage());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw new HttpNodeClientException("HttpNodeClientException/IOException - createResponse():" + e.getMessage());
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw new HttpNodeClientException("HttpNodeClientException/JSONException - createResponse():" + e.getMessage());
        } catch (ConverterException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw new HttpNodeClientException("HttpNodeClientException/ConverterException - createResponse():" + e.getMessage());
        }

And i get an JSONException. Did i design the JSON wrong?
Heres the exception:
08-14 16:14:18.522: I/LoginActivity(418): HttpNodeClientException/JSONException - createResponse
():Value {"id":"11111111","dateToday":"14082012","dateYesterday":"13082012","wbsArrayToday":
[{"wbs":"13232323"},{"wbs":"13232324"},{"wbs":"13232325"}],"wbsArrayYesterday":
[{"wbs":"13232333"},{"wbs":"13232334"},{"wbs":"13232335"}]} of type java.lang.String cannot be
converted to JSONObject

A: Use the JSONTokener class instead. It parses a string and return a JSON object.

A: the only line you need to fix is this one:
jsonObj = new JSONObject(result);

into this one:
jsonObj = new JSONObject(new JSONTokener(result));

Q: Use of unresolved identifier when using StoreKit constants with iOS 9.3/Xcode 7.3 I get the error "Use of unresolved identifier" when trying to use one of these StoreKit constants:
SKErrorClientInvalid
SKErrorPaymentCancelled
SKErrorPaymentInvalid
SKErrorPaymentNotAllowed
SKErrorStoreProductNotAvailable
SKErrorUnknown

Your code may look like this:
if transaction.error!.code == SKErrorPaymentCancelled {
    print("Transaction Cancelled: \(transaction.error!.localizedDescription)")
}

What changed?  Is there a new module I need to import?

A: Adding to @JAL answer heres a switch variant
        switch (transaction.error!.code) {
        case SKErrorCode.Unknown.rawValue:
            print("Unknown error")
            break;
        case SKErrorCode.ClientInvalid.rawValue:
            print("Client Not Allowed To issue Request")
            break;
        case SKErrorCode.PaymentCancelled.rawValue:
            print("User Cancelled Request")
            break;
        case SKErrorCode.PaymentInvalid.rawValue:
            print("Purchase Identifier Invalid")
            break;
        case SKErrorCode.PaymentNotAllowed.rawValue:
            print("Device Not Allowed To Make Payment")
            break;
        default:
            break;
        }

A: As of iOS 9.3 certain StoreKit constants have been removed from the SDK.  See StoreKit Changes for Swift for the full list of changes.
These constants have been replaced in favor of the SKErrorCode enum and associated values:
SKErrorCode.ClientInvalid
SKErrorCode.CloudServiceNetworkConnectionFailed
SKErrorCode.CloudServicePermissionDenied
SKErrorCode.PaymentCancelled
SKErrorCode.PaymentInvalid
SKErrorCode.PaymentNotAllowed
SKErrorCode.StoreProductNotAvailable
SKErrorCode.Unknown

You should check be checking your transaction.error.code with the enum's rawValue.  Example:
private func failedTransaction(transaction: SKPaymentTransaction) {
    print("failedTransaction...")
    if transaction.error?.code == SKErrorCode.PaymentCancelled.rawValue {
        print("Transaction Cancelled: \(transaction.error?.localizedDescription)")
    }
    else {
        print("Transaction Error: \(transaction.error?.localizedDescription)")
    }
    SKPaymentQueue.defaultQueue().finishTransaction(transaction)
}

You should be checking against these error codes rather than the legacy constants if creating a new application using StoreKit on iOS 9.3 and above.

A: None of the above answers worked for me. What solved it was prepending StoreKit to the SKError.
My switch looked something like this:
switch (transaction.error!.code) {
        case StoreKit.SKErrorCode.Unknown.rawValue:
            print("Unknown error")
            break;
}

No idea why.

Century-old diary from Queen's Archives celebrated in Moose Factory
By Meredith Dault, Senior Communications Officer
Archivist Paul Banfield with the historic diary
When Queen's Archivist Paul Banfield boarded a plane in Timmins, Ontario for the 50-minute journey to Moose Factory in July, he was only there as an escort. The real traveller was a small, well-weathered black diary from the university archives. As a historically significant document, the book had been invited to make an appearance at the James Bay Treaty – Treaty No. 9 conference hosted by the Moose Cree First Nation.
Penned in 1905, the diary belonged to Daniel George MacMartin who, at the time, served as Ontario's Treaty Commissioner. That same year, the Federal Government was negotiating Treaty No. 9 – otherwise known as the James Bay Treaty – for land rights. Mr. MacMartin was sent, along with two others, to carry out the negotiations and to have the northern community's Chiefs and Elders sign the document. One of their stops was Moose Factory, a former Hudson Bay trading post with a current population of less than 2,500.
"It was clear that neither side understood the other," says Mr. Banfield, "and that much was lost in translation." He explains that while all three men kept diaries, only Mr. MacMartin's, written in a penciled script, clearly outlined those difficulties. "What MacMartin's diary says is that the aboriginal people had the right to hunt, fish and trap on their land in perpetuity," explains Mr. Banfield. "What was in the treaty was that they could only do that until the government said they couldn't. What is clear – or what is now being argued – is that it was never well explained and if it had been, negotiations would have taken a different turn."
The diary displayed with Treaty No. 9, Moose Factory, Ontario.
That's why the diary, which was donated to Queen's as part of a larger estate gift and rediscovered in the archives in 1995, has become a vitally important piece of history from a First Nations perspective, particularly as court cases dissect the merit of the original treaty. That's also why it was given a place of prominence at the conference, where it was displayed alongside the original Treaty No. 9 parchment – likely the first time that the two documents had come together in 108 years.
"One of the Elders told me he saw the diary as a new bible," says Mr. Banfield, explaining that the free conference attracted people from across the northern community. "Everyone viewed it with great reverence and respect, as they did the treaty. It was a moving experience to be there."
The diary is now safely home and back in the Archives where it is available for consultation by the public.

Satire from The Borowitz Report
Nation's Parents Fear That if Kids Miss Enough School They Will Turn Out Like Betsy DeVos
By Andy Borowitz
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (The Borowitz Report)—With many of the nation's schools closed through the end of the school year, millions of American parents worry that if their children miss enough school they will turn out like Betsy DeVos.
As news broke last week that the DeVos family has provided funding to one of the organizations behind recent anti-social-distancing protests, parents panicked at the prospect of their school-deprived children becoming as ignorant as the nation's Education Secretary.
"Without school, our kids could have frightening gaps in their understanding of math, science, and history," Carol Foyler, a parent in Akron, Ohio, said. "We could be raising a generation of Betsy DeVoses."
Terrified by such a dire outcome, Foyler hired a remote tutor for her son Ryan, a first grader, but her anxiety persists.
"Yesterday, I kind of lost it with Ryan," she said. "I told him, 'You don't want to grow up to be like Betsy DeVos.' I immediately felt horrible. I've never spoken to my child like that."
Speaking to reporters at the Department of Education, Secretary DeVos tried to reassure parents about the school closures. "Many schools have been closed for one month," she said. "Even if they remain closed for two more months, that's only a total of four months."
Andy Borowitz is a Times best-selling author and a comedian who has written for The New Yorker since 1998. He writes The Borowitz Report, a satirical column on the news.

How American Idol keeps you in, even when they're off.
This should be American Idol's summer vacation. They just crowned the winner of season 12 a couple of months ago. And Season 13, with some new celebrity judge du jour (I'm hoping for Prince Harry or the girl that Anthony Weiner was sexting), doesn't debut until mid January 2014.
But the Producers are already building quite a buzz for the next airing, as they always do.
They're having auditions.
In addition to online submissions, the American Idol Audition Bus is rolling across the country, making stops everywhere from Foxborough, MA to Omaha, Nebraska, giving everyone everywhere a chance at Idol glory.
Thousands upon thousands of people will show up . . . some great, and some like this. But in addition to finding a new slate of contestants, Idol will have created even more enthusiastic fans than they had before.
You don't think all those people that audition in the coming months will be more enthused about watching Season 13 when it rolls around? They'll tune in to say, "Who beat me?" And they'll be proud to tell their friends, "I auditioned for that." By involving people in the process, they expand their audience.
I realize that American Idol's whole M.O is about finding unknown talent and giving them a stage unlike they've seen before, but there is a lesson here for Broadway and Broadway Producers.
Why doesn't every Broadway show have open calls, allowing anyone and their brother, Equity or not, a chance at Broadway stardom? We did it for Godspell, and we had lines around the block (and collected emails). So many people said it was their dream just to be seen for a Broadway show, and they would never forget it, even if they went back to their day job the next morning. Sure it's a cost, but you don't think you'd make that back in press and tickets? And just imagine if you found a cast member from that casting net. Oh the articles!
Or, what if we expanded this idea even further . . .
What if Broadway, as an industry, had a National audition tour, every year? What if we threw 3-5 of our best casting directors on a big bus, and rolled it out Idol style. Can you imagine the turnout? Can you imagine the press? Can you imagine the good will we'd generate for Broadway?
But not only that, I'd bet the cost of that bus that we'd actually find someone if not several someones worthy of being on a Broadway stage.
Broadway can sometimes feel like a super exclusive meat-packing district club . . . hard to get into, and even a little scary. By opening up our doors, and allowing people into our process, we could guarantee that we have lines at our doors for years.

August 19, 2013 Kenisms, Producing, Theater Things That Don't Make Sense
Becca P says:
In my whole life, I have watched a grand total of 4 episodes of Idol. A high school friend of mine made it through a few rounds one season, posted on Facebook that she had done so, and so I felt obligated to watch.
The more people they audition (and give even a scrap of airtime) the more of their friends and family members begin watching. And hopefully some will stick with the show longer than their friend's airtime.
Elliott Masie says:
The reality of the digital age is that DISTANCE is eliminated often. Why can't Broadway find a way to leverage talent across America – and build the buzz at the same time.
The marketplace for audience only expands as we expand the visible engagement for new talent.
Can I drive the bus?
I would think it would have to be better done than "You're The One That I Want" did with Grease. Probably shouldn't be an attempt to cast the leads.
Elisa Christina Clayton says:
It's true that show rather flopped but the show's inspiration, the BBC-TV program "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?", became the highest-rated of its kind in the broadcaster's history. And the production at the London Palladium set box-office records and made a star of Connie Fisher, who was chosen by the British public to star as Maria.
Thus, proving once again that the Theatre business can be very unpredictable.
Excellent idea. But what will Equity have to say?
Aaron Loo says:
Getting ready to audition now!
Great concept and got my neurons popping now and drooling now at ways to help my show get a buzz on it.
Thanks for the spark!
Extending Broadway to the world may soon become a real necessity. The world is getting smaller, travel is becoming more difficult, and people are increasingly seeking easier access to entertainment (i.e. computer games, TV, etc.).
A Broadway Idol type tour would pay for itself in ticket sales to family and friends alone. Every other ticket would be immediate profit with goodwill and press as profit for the show itself.
There would be plenty of press and from stats I saw on here folks from outside NYC buy most Broadway tickets anyway.
Get a bus and hit the road. We'll keep the light on for ya'.
Gail BArtell says:
The Broadway Bus idea is a MUST!!! I absolutely agree with the fact that Broadway seems too exclusive and untouchable. This would bring Broadway to the masses in a whole new way! This has to happen!
Stuart Green says:
G-d, I [expletive of positive emotion] love it! Having participated in two tours (one promotional), I've experienced first-hand what happens when you connect a person to a concept (aka brand, item) – you build a relationship. It's no wonder why Presidential hopefuls board the trains, plains and automobiles to shake a few hands, and expand their brands across the land!
Linda Downes says:
I love this idea! I love Broadway but live in a small town in Michigan. There are plenty of talented people all over the country who can't get to NY. You would definitely find stars this way! Let me know when the bus is coming!
Brian Jones says:
This is an awesome idea. I've seen so many amazing shows in my local community theaters that starred everyday people with other careers. So often, these people and productions are far superior to even the national and "professional" tours that come through town. People just need their one little break for someone to see them and be discovered! Even your dentist longs to be in show business!
I agree with you 100%. when MTV had "the hunt for Elle Woods" and they broadcast the auditions, they extended the stay of the show. When Grease did the auditions for Sandy and Danny, the audience picked the leads and look how that turned out for Laura Oznes. I'm sure the show had many fans who came to see it just because of the tv auditions. the more that is published on the Extra, Entertainment Tonight, Access Holywood, Facebook, twitter, etc, the more people come to feel a part of the broadway community and will want to come to a show either on Broadway or on tour.
Paul Cozby says:
Great idea, Ken! As for the cost, one word: Sponsors. (CBS and the Tonys. Ticket Master. The Broadway League. Long-running hit shows with ad budgets.) Can you imagine current and future ticket sales this would generate? The buzz for Broadway? The YouTube hits? The email lists? Go. Do. This.
This would be one of your comme.

Marketers and analysts are always on the lookout for exciting new insights which can translate into action items and provide strategic advantage, but they often miss them. They can even make the wrong decisions – because they fail to account for the "giraffe effect" in their data.
Giraffes are what I call portions of data which dominate the rest of the data – and hide important insights. Sometimes they even lead to wrong conclusions. For example a gaming company client looking for the highest value customers thought the data said it should market to men, when women spent twice as much as those with a Y chromosome. How could the data lie?
The truth is, it didn't. The company was just distracted by a giraffe.
Let's say you're out watching animals in a nature reserve. Undoubtedly, when you spot a majestic giraffe in your binoculars, you're going to take a good look at him. Meanwhile, many of the other, smaller animals will all just seem, well, small. You won't notice that there are significant differences in height among the smaller animals, especially as compared to the giraffe.
However, if you can take your eyes off the giraffe for a minute and zoom your binoculars into the smaller animals on the plain, an amazing thing happens: you become aware that the differences in size between the animals are actually much larger than you had first realized.
This is a very simple example of the giraffe effect. When people look at a set of data which includes some very large, dominant members, important differences among the other data in the set often disappear from view.
If you're not already familiar with the following images, they are known as "heatmaps." They reveal the areas of most intensive visitor mouse movements and mouse clicks on a webpage. Red areas indicate the most mouse activity, blue with the least.
In this first heatmap, we see only one dark red area, namely the login password field. Because many of the visitors to this page are already registered users of the site, it makes sense that such a large percentage of mouse activity is centered on the login area. However, because all the mouse activity data is aggregated here, important information about where non-registered visitors are looking and clicking is hidden from the analyst's view.
Once the analyst drills down and removes the giraffe from the data (the registered users), he sees a view of the data that is much more revealing as to the visitors' areas of interest. Specifically, we see in the following heatmap a dozen red areas instead of only one. By separating out just one portion of the data (the registered users), the analyst uncovers the important information that will lead him to better decisions about how to improve the website.
But what about that gaming company I mentioned earlier? Since many of our clients are gaming firms, we come across plenty of examples in this field where giraffes in the data can lead to poor decision making. And it's not always easy to even know that a giraffe is lurking in your data, leading you astray.
More than simply hiding insights, this aggregation actually led to an incorrect conclusion. How can this be? This situation exists because of two factors: the large discrepancy in the number of male/female players in the different countries and the large discrepancy in LTV from country to country. The following table shows the gender breakdown by country (the percentage figures refer to the distribution of customers in each row).
In this case, the UK represents a huge giraffe lurking in the data – the much larger LTV of this country's players combined with the reverse proportion of male/female players (as compared with RU and US). By drilling down a bit and looking at each country individually, the marketers were able to discover the ideal course of action.
While this kind of situation is admittedly unusual, it is an excellent demonstration of a hard-to-spot giraffe in the data. By the way, the paradoxical situation in which a reverse trend appears in aggregated data, as in this example, is known as Simpson's paradox.
Understand the true effectiveness of your SEO efforts by eliminating all traffic due to searches which include your brand names.

Discovering if there are any giraffes in your data is sometimes easy – an obviously dominant value will be like a huge giraffe eye staring you in the face. In these cases, it's important not to ignore it. If you don't see an obvious giraffe at the aggregated level, it's important to look for one by slicing the data looking for dominant values. The most common way to do this is by adding an additional dimension or two.
In short, I strongly encourage marketers and analysts to dig down into their data, to look out for misleading dominant portions of the data, and not to rely only on high-level, aggregated views. Beware of the giraffes in your data!

How to Disable Google Chrome's New 'Privacy Sandbox' Tracking (and Why You Want To)
Screenshot: Brendan Hesse
Internet users increasingly want a more anonymous browsing experience , which has a major impact on advertising, eCommerce, and the online economy as a whole. If a company can't track you with third-party cookies , it's harder to make money. Google is testing a new technology to replace cookies called Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC) that, according to Google, will help maintain user privacy and current business models for online companies.
You can read Google's overview of the technology here , but the gist is that users will have a unique FLoC ID. Your ID is technically anonymous, but you'll be grouped in with other users with similar internet history—your "cohorts." Instead of selling an individual's data, companies like Google will sell cohort data to advertisers.
But while "private" on paper, as we've previously explained , that's not entirely true. In fact, FLoC is likely to be just as intrusive—if not more—than third-party cookies. Depending on the size of a cohort and the number of cohorts a person belongs to in the database, someone could plausibly be identified, among other serious concerns .
Remaining Time - 1:01
The good news is FLoC will only be implemented to Chrome—no other browser will use FLoC, not even other Chromium browsers like Brave, Edge, or Vivaldi. It also isn't ready for full-scale implementation yet. In fact, Google delayed FLoC's rollout for Chrome. However, it's currently in an early trial phase, and it may be present on your browser right now as a new feature called "Privacy Sandbox." To be fair, less than 1% of Chrome users are part of the Privacy Sandbox test, but the test may expand over time, and it's possible you're enrolled in this new form of tracking without even realizing it.
Luckily, it's easy to check if Privacy Sandbox is enabled, and if it is, you can block it or opt-out.
How to check for and disable Privacy Sandbox (FLoC) in Chrome
Privacy Sandbox is only active for a tiny fraction Android and desktop Chrome users in the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, and the Philippines. It is not on iOS devices (yet).
Still, it's worth checking to see if the feature is active. These steps apply to Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux versions of Chrome:
Open Chrome and go to Settings Privacy and security Privacy Sandbox.
This will open the Privacy Sandbox landing page even if you're not part of the Trial.
If the "Privacy Sandbox trials" toggle is turned on, then FLoC is enabled. Click/tap to disable it—just don't turn it on if you don't want to Chrome to use FLoC.
Alternatively, the "Am I FLoCed?" website quickly checks for the Privacy Sandbox trial on Chrome. If the test is positive, use the steps above to turn off FLoC tracking.
If you don't see the option in Chrome's settings, then you're not part of the test. That doesn't mean you won't be added to the Privacy Sandbox trial in the future, however. Thankfully, Chrome users can preemptively block FLoC tracking using this DuckDuckGo browser extension .

Viejo Mazatlan: The Quieter Side of Mexico's Favorite Tourist Destination
By John McCloud //Leave a Comment
There is a treasure in Mazatlán. It just takes a little digging to find. Photo by Guillermo Aldana
For most tourists, Mazatlán means only one thing: a stretch of beachfront hotels north of town known as the Golden Zone. But gold is in the eye of the beholder, and from this traveler's viewpoint, the trendy vacation area of this Mexican resort on the Sea of Cortez is more fractious muddle than precious metal.
Mazatlán (population 340,000) is the second largest city in the state of Sinaloa and Mexico's largest commercial port. With its endless splay of hamburger joints, trinket shops and loud bars in faceless boxes, the Golden Zone is reminiscent of nothing so much as one of the cheap commercial strips at the edge of just about every city in the United States. There's even a Wal-Mart to complete the picture.
But don't let appearances fool you. There is a treasure in Mazatlán. It just takes a little digging to find.
Historic, artistic, architecturally rich and surprisingly dignified, Viejo (or Old) Mazatlán is the all-but-forgotten heart of this venerable port city. Though young by Mexican standards ― Mazatlán itself dates only to the 1820s ― it is nonetheless redolent of an earlier, and far more courtly, era.
While the Golden Zone is typified by the ear-splitting noise, cheapjack merchandise and the hectic beat of an endless army of tacky Señor Frog restaurants, Viejo Mazatlán boasts tree-lined streets, formal plazas, gracious Colonial buildings ― and peaceful silence.
Well, not total silence. But instead of a souped-up sound system playing the same hip-hop and rap music you tried to avoid back home, you can listen to traditionalromantica played by strolling Mariachi trios, the strains of classical piano music from ballet classes at El Centro Municipale Artes, the municipal arts center, or smooth standards wafting from an intimate jazz bar owned by two expatriate Oregonians.
You may even be lucky enough to catch a symphony or opera at the 130-year-old Angela Peralta Theatre. Hailed at one time as the most luxurious theatre west of Paris, the auditorium plays host to regular performances by the Sinaloa Orchestra of the Arts and the Ballet Folclorico de Sinaloa, the folklore ballet of Sinaloa, as well as numerous guest artists.
Savoring the district's more measured pace of life, you can walk the stately streets, visit the Catedral Basilica de la Purisima Concepcion, a rather baroque structure begun in 1856 and completed in 1899, and dine at first-class, locally owned restaurants instead of one of the chains and gringo knock-offs that dominate the city's contemporary resort area.
And, rather than staying in a 20-story hotel that could just as well be in Manhattan as Mazatlán, you can spend the night at the Royal Dutch Inn, a small bed-and-breakfast created from an adobe casacomplete with 18-inch (45 cm) thick walls and 18-foot (5.5 m) ceilings. Hand-carved doors, tiled floors and a flower-and-bird filled courtyard reflect the building's Spanish heritage.
"This house has been in my family since it was built in the 19th century," says Alicia, a Mazatlán native who owns the inn with her husband Wim, a Dutch marine engineer. Wim met Alicia when he became a regular at her family's restaurant, which used to occupy a storefront around the corner. She cooked at the restaurant and also made the breads and pastries for an adjoining bakery.
Alicia and Wim decided to turn three of the rooms of their home into an inn. They had noticed life returning to Viejo Mazatlán after decades of neglect and figured tourists might again be interested in staying in the heart of town.
Pedro & Lola opened there a few years ago," Alicia recounts in reference to a popular restaurant at the northwest corner of Plazuela Machado, the social and cultural heart of the historic district. "Other restaurants followed, along with a couple art galleries. Now I think all the spaces around the square are taken and places are opening on the side streets."
Among the new businesses is Nautilus Gallery, owned by Blaz Nayer, a native of the neighboring Mexican state of Nayarit, who returned to Mexico three years ago after close to 20 years in California.
"I love being back here," declares Blaz, whose extravagantly colored paintings of butterflies occupy about a third of the spaces on the gallery walls. Works by other local artists occupy the rest of the space.
"This is an old part of the city, but it is very young, too. It's possible to be creative here because an artist can afford to live," he says, noting that he bought a historic courtyard home a few blocks away from his gallery for less than US$ 30,000, then spent a few thousand more to restore it.

A glance down any street shows construction — or rather reconstruction — activity in progress. It also shows a good amount of restoration already complete. Victor Hernandez converted a former glass factory into Vitrolas, an elegant bar that caters primarily to a local gay clientele.
An artists' collaborative known as El Nido de Artesanos transformed two floors of a three-story Colonial structure into a gallery for the masks they create, and a group of investors recently renovated the long-derelict Hotel Freeman along the waterfront, rechristening it Posada Freeman and reopening the rooftop pool and restaurant.
The municipal government has also been active, installing an archaeological museum in a 200-year-old building and constructing a new park alongside the Casa de la Cultura, a municipal museum and gallery. It also turned Casa Machado, the onetime home of Juan Machado, a Filipino immigrant who made his fortune as a trader, into a museum showing how the wealthy mercantile class lived in the latter half of the 19th century.
Looking over Plazuela Machado from the casa's second-floor windows, you can easily imagine yourself back in the late 1800s as you watch horse- drawn carriages picking up and dropping off passengers today, just as they did 150 years ago. You'll also see residents gathering in the square to exchange family news and gossip the same way they did in Machado's time. Only the clothes have changed.
The plaza also serves as the site for regular, and sometimes spontaneous, music and dance fests. For Carnaval ― an official Mexican holiday that kicks off a five-day celebration before the Catholic Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, and the one time of year when the party crowds from the Golden Zone descend onto Viejo Mazatlán ― the energy is considerably ramped up as the square and surrounding streets fill with elaborately costumed revelers carousing well into the early morning.
For beach lovers, Viejo Mazatlán is something of a disappointment ― the narrow beach is separated from the city by a busy roadway, and there are no hotels with direct beach access ― but for anyone who prefers character, authenticity and serenity to artifice and honky tonk, the old part of the city is the only place to be.

Profit maximization is the iron rule of capitalism, setting limits to ecological reform. A profit-based economy that requires continuous economic growth makes ecological catastrophes inevitable.
Voluntarism, technological fixes and market incentives as they have been constructed cannot achieve even the weak Green House Gas targets governments have committed to. Even so, many governments such as ours and that of theUSA, haven't even initiated these market mechanisms like carbon taxes or cap and trade.
We need to accept that we WILL pass the terrible tipping points that climate scientists like James Hansen have been talking about for at least a decade now. And that the catastrophes they predict will happen, gradually at first and then rapidly as the feedbacks kick in.
As the consequences of passing the tipping points eventuate, with droughts, floods, rising sea levels, growing numbers of climate refugees – states everywhere will begin to exercise authoritarian measures to preserve order and to ensure that increasingly scarce water, food and energy resources are preserved for the rich and to feed the material requirements of corporate enterprise. Robert Heilbroner predicted this outcome back in 1974 in his Inquiry into the Human Prospect. Joel Kovel discussed the prospect more recently.
We can already see the beginnings of the move towards authoritarianism – the xenophobic response to immigration throughout Europe, the attempt to destroy unionism in the USA, the harsh way protesters against austerity measures are being treated, to say nothing of police repression against G20 protesters inToronto. And Stephen Harper's deliberate efforts to silence his critics by shutting down or reorienting research and advocacy organizations.
It is essential for us to be critiquing market-based solutions and those, including most mainstream environmental organizations, who promote these solutions and insist on working within the system. We need to expose environmental organizations who accept funding from corporate-based foundations that are extensions of the energy industrial complex and thus allow themselves to be used by the perpetrators of climate change and bolstering their legitimacy.
We need to be putting forth more structurally based solutions such as stopping the tar sands, massive investment in solar, wind and geothermal renewables and expanding public transit. Yet, we should accept that these solutions are and will be totally rejected by capitalist states and that, in any case, renewable energy cannot meet the mass energy requirement of consumerism and relentless economic growth especially in the light of ongoing neoliberal globalization.
We need to be talking now about how we will respond to the ecological catastrophe as it unfolds and to the authoritarian actions of capitalist states to repress popular resistance against harsh austerity measures and to increasingly destructive methods of extracting oil and natural gas from less accessible sources.
It will be essential to show how the economy can be transformed so that it does not require continuous growth and yet provides for the basic requirements of all citizens.
Intellectual argument is not sufficient. Our movement will have to turn towards widespread forms of direct action to stop the ecocide and the austerity measures that shift the burden of the ecological crisis onto the lower and working classes.

Grenfell Street () is a major street in the north-east quarter of the Adelaide city centre, South Australia. The street runs west-east from King William Street to East Terrace. On the other side of King William Street, it continues as Currie Street. Its intersection with Pulteney Street is encircled by Hindmarsh Square.

A dedicated bus lane runs the whole length of both Grenfell and Currie Streets, limiting private vehicles to one lane for most of its length, and carrying nearly all bus traffic traversing the city in an east-west direction. At the eastern end of Grenfell, a dedicated bus track carries buses across East Terrace into the O-Bahn tunnel under Rymill Park.

History

Grenfell Street was named after Pascoe St Leger Grenfell, a Cornish businessman and member of the South Australian Church Society. His significant donation of an acre of land on North Terrace was used for the construction of the Holy Trinity Church — one of the first churches built in the city.  Grenfell also donated another  of country land for the use of the church as glebe lands. This land later became the suburb of Trinity Gardens.

In July 2012, dedicated bus lanes were introduced along the full length of Grenfell Street in both directions, in operation from 7am to 7pm each weekday. When operational, taxis, cyclists and emergency vehicles are also able to use the lane, but private vehicles can only travel up to  in the bus lane.

In December 2016, after the O-Bahn extension tunnel was built underneath Rymill Park at the eastern end of the street, buses formerly routed along North Terrace were permanently routed along Grenfell (although they had been temporarily diverted from North Terrace via East Terrace, since construction of the Botanic Line of the Adelaide trams had begun in early October that year). After this, nearly all buses travelling in an east-west direction across the city use Grenfell.

Central Hall/ Queen's Hall/ Embassy Ballroom

Central Hall, at no. 102a Grenfell, was built by a Mrs Phillipson, of  Glenelg, for the use of the Adelaide German Club (Allgemeiner Deutscher Verein) in 1894, opening in June of that year. It was subsequently used for a variety of community events (many unrelated to the club), for around 20 years.  Charles Cawthorne took over the lease and reopened it Queen's Hall on 7 August 1915. Its use turned to performances, mainly concerts, operas, dramas, and fundraisers for World War I, and it also hosted occasional variety shows. Its use  as a theatre diminished from 1923, and by 1929 it was operating as a dance hall. The building was partially destroyed by fire on 4 November 1929, and it fell into disuse until it was refurbished and reopened in 1933 as the Embassy Ballroom, which had an Art Deco facade. In the 1950s it was converted into a cinema, first called the Plaza Theatre and renamed Paris Cinema in 1965. It was later demolished and Regent Arcade built on the site.

Description

Grenfell Street runs from King William Street to East Terrace. It is one of the intermediate-width streets of the Adelaide grid, at  wide.

On the other side of King William Street, the western continuation of Grenfell Street is Currie Street, named after Raikes Currie, a member of the South Australian Association and South Australian Company.

The section of the street which runs parallel to Rundle Mall (west of Hindmarsh Square) features many retail outlets, as well as the southern entrances of many of the arcades, side-streets, and eateries of the mall. Office buildings and night spots also populate the street. The eastern end is occupied on the south side by the Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute, an art and cultural museum also used as a venue for the Adelaide Fringe and other events, and on the north side by the East End Markets redevelopment.

Heritage-listed buildings

On the corner of Grenfell Street and East Terrace there is the old Grenfell Street Power Station building. Much of the building now houses the Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute, facing Grenfell Street, which was heritage-listed on the SA Heritage Register in November 1984, while the old converter stations face East Terrace. There is an "Historic Engineering Plaque" on a ground level plinth just east of the north-east corner of the Tandanya building, which was dedicated by the Institution of Engineers, Australia, the Electricity Trust of South Australia and the Adelaide City Council on 6 April 1995.

Other heritage-listed buildings in Grenfell Street include:
the Wiggs Building (former home of stationers E. S. Wigg & Son)
 the Crown and Anchor Hotel (first licensed 1853, rebuilt 1880s)
parts of the former Adelaide Fruit and Produce Exchange facing the street
the British & Foreign Bible Society office (Bertram Hall)
several other office buildings

The Griffins Hotel, built in 1886, is on the corner of Grenfell Street and Hindmarsh Square; its address is 40 Hindmarsh Square.

I just can't imagine what would motivate anyone, particularly a 19-year-old, to enter a high school campus and begin to gun down students and teachers. But that is just what happened in Parkland, FL, as Nikolas Cruz entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and began firing.
I can't imagine the fear that was felt by the students and school officials when they realized what was happening, and began to wonder if they would survive or become one of the victims, so far numbering seventeen.
I can't imagine the feelings of a student hiding in a bathroom or closet, waiting to hear footsteps or gunshots outside the door, taking the time to send a text to their parents telling them how much they love them in case they don't survive the onslaught.
I can't imagine the sickening feeling the parents got when they received the text from their beloved child, being totally unaware that anything was going on, but fearing this message may be the last communication they ever receive from their son or daughter.
I can't imagine the concern that school officials felt as they were virtually powerless to stop the carnage, and realizing they will live with what happened that day for the rest of their lives, no matter if their lives ended today or many years from now. How can they, should they survive, comfort the parents of those who lost their children, without feeling there was something they could have done differently that would have changed the outcome?
I can't imagine the heart-pounding race by the parents from home or work to the school, desperate to find out where their child was and even if their child was still alive. A parent's worst fear was playing out before them as they sped to the scene.
I can't imagine upon arriving at the high school, being told by police and law enforcement that you couldn't enter the school building to rescue your child, and the helplessness you must feel as you are waiting for any information. That is your baby in there, the one you held in your arms just a few years ago. The one you fed and nurtured, took on vacations, watched them play baseball or soccer, as they grew into young women and men.
I can't imagine the prayers that went up to a God to whom you hadn't spoken in a while, but one whose help you desperately needed right now.
I can't imagine that sinking feeling when you hear it has been reported that some students are confirmed dead. Was it my child, or the child of a parent from down our street? Could it have been a child that you watched at the basketball game last night, or the one that spent the night at your house last month? Could it be both?
I can't imagine how you feel when you realize that you will likely have to face someone you know who has lost a child in this tragedy, even if your child survives. Can you, the parents of that child, or even your own child, ever recover from the events of this day?
I can't imagine your anger as news reporters and cameras are shoved in your faces at this most agonizing moment of grief, trying to capture the pain, concern, or suffering on your faces for a news headline or sound bite on the national and local news shows.
I can't imagine your disgust at the politicians and activists that immediately pounce on this period of unfathomable shock, anger, and heart-wrenching pain to make an ideological statement.
I can't imagine how tightly those parents whose children came home last night held, hugged, and cried with them.
I can't imagine how things will ever be the same again.

Zen meditation to bring Mystic Heart program breath of fresh air
by Kelly Powell	on July 14, 2017 806 views
John Pulleyn thinks Zen meditation is like sitting and staring into a fire.
Pulleyn, the head of Rochester Zen Center's meditation hall, plans to teach this idea, along with several others, to participants of the Mystic Heart Meditation Program. He will lead Japanese Zen Buddhism meditation from 7:15 to 8 a.m. and 8:15 to 9 a.m. Monday through Friday during Week Four in the Presbyterian House Chapel.
Pulleyn
This meditation is one of the breath. People think "one" as they breathe in, "two" as they breathe out. Once they reach "10," they count backward to their starting point. They repeat this cycle over and over again, up and down the numeric scale.
"They're just trying to put as much of their attention as they can on just the physical sensations of breathing," Pulleyn said. "It's so intimately tied to who we are and what's going on, and it just makes a great subject for mediation. It's incredibly simple."
The regular ways people "attempt to succeed or excel at things" fail to be effective in Zen. People must constantly be turning thoughts around, rather than arriving directly at a thought's location.
"Once you realize, 'Oh, I'm not paying attention to my breath, I'm thinking about breakfast. I'm thinking about somebody who insulted me', or whatever grabs my attention, " Pulleyn said, "you just go back to the breath again."
Americans are "split" in their thought process today, he said. Even when they are doing something in front of them, they are thinking about something behind or ahead of them.
"Sometimes you need to work something out in your head even though you're driving your car or doing whatever," Pulleyn said. "Most of the time, that's a mistake, and it makes everything kind of gray and less interesting when you're in two places at once."
It can make things even darker when the mind's sidebars focus on anxiety or depression. Although Pulleyn said Zen meditation isn't a cure for mental illnesses, it is a healing method that focuses on joy.
One method to feeling this kind of relief is sitting, facing the wall, and paying attention to breath. If the participant wishes, they may turn away from the wall instead, turning their head downward at a 45-degree angle. No matter what methodology, the focus is on the breath.
"We're constantly getting sensory input, and yet, when we think about things, we're always thinking about fixed points and static moments," Pulleyn said. "But there is no static moment — one moment is flowing into the next. We're in a stream, and you need to sort of relax into it."
Zen meditation has roots in Buddhism, but has branched out from it. In other words, the practice has a Buddhist background "without any dogmatic content." Members of Christian, Jewish and Buddhist denominations often gather to meditate at the Rochester Zen Center.
"It's hard to say where the religious content is in just being completely attuned to the moment," Pulleyn said. "It's kind of the basis of all religion."
All are welcome, he said, because the practice intends to "reveal our nature." By taking deliberate time to set the stressful thoughts aside, a deeper understanding emerges.
"One of the things I'm fond of is that (Zen's) attitude toward meditation is kind of like the attitude of a scientist," Pulleyn said. "Take somebody who's studying the behavior of, say, ants. That person doesn't have any goal in mind; he just wants to know as much as he can about what he's studying and see what he can discover. When you come to meditation with that same sort of attitude, then a lot of things are possible. But if you're coming there saying, 'Well, I want to get over my anxiety, I wanna be more relaxed,' it'll still work, but not as well because you've brought something else into it."
Pulleyn used to be a lot more anxious than he is now. However, since practicing Zen meditation, his anxiety has come in the form of "uh-ohs" instead of obstacles. He's realized that when the bumps in the road come, the best thing he can do is acknowledge them, rather than ignore them.
"I guess if there's any change in my life — and there has been quite a bit of change — is that just like snowflakes on a sidewalk … you might have a moment of anxiety and then it's gone," he said. "Things just move a little faster."

Home is the happy hipster from hospital.
The operation to revise my hip went well, and the recovery is going well.
I will write about my 8 days in hospital soon, but it will take me a bit longer than usual, as sitting down in front of a computer is a bit tiring.
And I have miles to go before I sleep (I hope, with apologies to Robert Frost).
I also took a lot of notes while I was in hospital, and I'll need to edit them into a readable column.
When I finish it, I will say hip, hip, hooray (I will try to keep the puns down to a minimum, but I had to get that one in!) and publish it.
Just take it easy friend. Best wishes from everyone at the factory.
Thanks, Lachlan. I will take it easy. I promise. My kindest regards to the factory workers, who are the salt of the earth!
