Войтех Гржімалі, Адальберт Грімалі () *30.07.1842-†15.06.1908 — чеський композитор, скрипаль, диригент. Громадський та педагогічний діяч Герцогства Буковина.

Біографія
Народився Войтех Гржімалі 30 листопада 1842 року у місті Пльзень Королівства Богемія у родині відомого чеського органіста Войтеха Гржімалі (батька), усі діти якого: Марія, Ян, Яромир та Богуслав Гржималі були відомими музикантами.

1861 року закінчив Празьку консерваторію за класом скрипки Моріца Мільднера.

Після закінчення навчання був концертмейстером оркестру в Роттердамському оперному театрі. Через рік переїхав у Гетеборг, де поряд з роботою в оркестрі місцевої опери, служив органістом, та тісно співпрацював з Бедржихом Сметаною, зокрема щодо організації публічних концертів.

У 1868 році Войтех Гржімалі повернувся до Чехії. Мешкаючи у Празі, був концертмейстером та керівником оркестру місцевого театру. Через розбіжності з його керівництвом, перейшов до Німецького театру у Празі, де був другим диригентом. Водночас, став президентом Празької Філармонії, у якій разом з Яном, Богуславом та Яромиром заснували «Струнний квартет братів Гржімалів».

Чернівецький період
У 1875 році, на запрошення «Спілки сприяння музичному мистецтву на Буковині», музичний діяч переїжджає в Чернівці, де очолює вказане товариство, яке було фактично місцевою філармонією. Практично відразу В.Гржімалі активно долучився до організації будівництва сучасного спеціалізованого концертного залу. З нагоди початку робіт чеський композитор разом з поетом Ернстом Рудольфом Нойбауером написали спільний твір «Хвала музиці». У грудні 1877 здали в експлуатацію будинок «Музичного товариства», який став центром мистецького життя Герцогства Буковина.

Прикметно, що того ж року Чернівецький театр вперше поставив оперу Войтеха Гржімалі — .

Завдяки своєму братові, Войтех Гржімалі налагодив контакти з митцями Російської імперії. На його запрошення у 1879 році до Чернівців вперше завітав видатний російський піаніст, композитор і диригент Антон Рубінштейн, що стало справжньою подією в культурному житті краю, спровокувало жвавий інтерес громадськості до творів інших російських композиторів, сприяло подальшому розвитку творчих зв'язків.

Перебуваючи в Чернівцях, В.Гржімалі, поряд з тим, що сам був віртуозним виконавцем-інструменталістом, диригентом хору і оркестру, а також успішним керівником «Музичного товариства», активно займався педагогічною діяльністю. Зокрема, вів у музичній школі класи скрипки, фортепіано, співу і гармонії. Останні роки свого життя успішно викладав музику в Чернівецькому університеті. Войтех Гржімалі, як педагог, підготував цілу плеяду співаків, скрипалів, піаністів.

Діяльність В.Гржімалі залишила глибокий слід у музичному житті не лише Чернівців, а й усього краю. Місцеві  українці з повагою і любов`ю ставились до свого брата-слов`янина, котрий завжди відповідав їм взаємністю. Не маючи змоги ввести до репертуару українські пісні, Войтех Гржімалі всіляко популяризував українську культуру, не раз брав участь у концертах національних товариств.

20 грудня 1883 року у Войтеха Гржімажі народився син — майбутній композитор і диригент Отакар Гржімалі.

Протягом 1897 року відбувались заходи з нагоди 20-річчя діяльності «Будинку Музичного товариства». Зокрема, у січні того року (через рік після прем'єри у Пльзень) Чернівецький міський театр поставив оперу Войтеха Гржімажі — . Вистава отримала схвальні відгуки публіки та критиків.

Того ж року, під час ювілейного концерту, підготовка до якого здійснювалась під керівництвом чеського митця, було виконано Дев'яту симфонію Бетховена та ряд інших творів. У рецензіях на концерт відзначалося, що виконання цієї симфонії колективом місцевого «Музичного товариства» було великим ризиком. І те, що виступ пройшов з таким успіхом є безперечним доказом високого мистецького рівня, досягнутого під орудою Войтеха Гржімалі.

У чернівецький період з-під пера композитора, крім опери «Швандя дудак», вийшли чотири кантати, «концерт для скрипки з оркестром» та інші твори.

Зарекомендував себе Войтех Гржімалі і як музичний критик, систематично друкуючись у місцевих та імперських періодичних виданнях. Крім того, він є автором книги «Тридцять років музики на Буковині 1874-1904».

Останні роки життя
Починаючи з 1887 року Войтех Гржімалі періодично жив і працював у Львові.

Помер 15 червня 1908 року в місті Відень.

Cartoon characters reimagined
The virtual reality Art Bakery Gallery presents the next bi-monthly 360-degree immersive VR exhibition project with the online showcase "Reborn" until Aug 31.
A collaboration with AST Global, a VR/AR content developer, the non-physical virtual exhibition features pop-up memories that will allow viewers to revisit cartoon characters of their childhood through a selection of 12 digital art creations by Pichet Rujivararat.
Also known as Tikkywow, the artist and illustrator is known for his signature style that involves using bright and contrasting colours to create a new image structure featuring a different expression.
Among his highlight pieces include Tom & Jerry On Monday Lunch, Popeye At 8 P.M., Tuesday Morning Boy, Simpson 9 A.M. Shower and Sonic 5 P.M. -- all inspired by the cartoon characters that most people were familiar with in their younger years.
A graduate from Chulalongkorn University, Tikkywow has collaborated with many well-known advertising agencies. His works have appeared in both local and international media.
He has exhibited in Singapore and Japan and won second prize from Thai AirAsia's "Paint The Sky With Amazing Thailand" design contest. His recent works can be seen at Nike Outlet at Siam Premium Outlet Bangkok.

BPIE organised a workshop in Warsaw on March 20, 2017, inviting key stakeholders and interested parties to discuss BPIE's proposed amendments and to garner feedback from those engaged in the sector in Poland. The result of the joint work is presented in this document with key messages.
On November 30, 2016, the European Commission (EC) released important pieces of proposed legislative amendments in the form of the "Clean Energy for All Europeans" package. It covers energy efficiency, renewable energy, the electricity market regulations as well as consumers and governance rules for the Energy Union. The proposed changes refer, inter alia, to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED).
To initiate the debate in Poland on how these changes affect the building sector in particular, BPIE organised a workshop, held in Warsaw on March 20, 2017, inviting key stakeholders and interested parties to discuss BPIE's proposed amendments and to garner feedback from those engaged in the sector in Poland. The workshop was attended by 37 representatives of public administration, business, non-governmental organizations, media, research and finance. The result of the joint work is presented in this document with key messages.
By publishing the conclusions of the workshop, BPIE hopes that the collective views of key Polish stakeholders will help the further work on the Package and contribute to a better understanding of the Polish needs in this area.
The policy paper is available in English and in Polish.

The EU Settlement Scheme opened for a public test phase on 21 January 2019. EU citizens living in the UK will need to apply under the EU Settlement Scheme if they want to stay in the UK after the planned Brexit transition period ends on 31 December 2020.
The scheme is intended to implement the rules on citizens' rights set out in the draft UK-EU withdrawal agreement – and in some ways it is more generous than those rules.
The British government has said in a policy paper published in December 2018 that it will still go ahead with the scheme if the UK leaves the EU on 29 March 2019 with no deal.
What is the deadline for applying to the EU Settlement Scheme?
The deadline for applying is 30 June 2021 if the UK leaves under a version of the current draft withdrawal agreement, or 31 December 2020 if the UK leaves with no deal.
Until 31 December 2020 EU citizens will be able to rely on an EU passport or identity card as evidence of their right to live and work in the UK. After that they will need to have either pre-settled or settled status granted under the EU Settlement Scheme.
Who can apply to the EU Settlement Scheme?
Other EEA nationals (nationals of Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland) can't apply during the public test phase. They will have to wait for the EU Settlement Scheme to become fully open in March 2019.
How do you apply to the EU Settlement Scheme?
To take part in the test phase you need access to an Android phone (not iPhone) with NFC (Near-Field Communication) contactless technology.
Download the EU Exit: ID Document Check app and use it to scan your passport and your face.
After using the app complete an online application. You will need to enter your National Insurance number, answer some basic questions, and pay the application fee by credit card.
How much does it cost to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme?
The application costs £65 for an adult and £32.50 for a child. It is free for people who already have a permanent residence document. The Prime Minister has announced that these fees will be scrapped when the scheme is fully open on 30 March 2019 and that anyone who applies during the test phase will have their fee reimbursed.
What happens after you apply to the EU Settlement Scheme?
The Home Office will carry out automated checks with HMRC and DWP on your tax and benefits records, and a criminal record check.
If the automated checks indicate that you have been living in the UK for a continuous five year period and you do not have a serious criminal record you will be granted settled status. Settled status is a type of indefinite leave to remain and will allow you to live in the UK permanently.
If the checks indicate that you have been living in the UK for less than five years you will be offered pre-settled status. Pre-settled status is a five-year temporary status. You will be able to convert pre-settled status into settled status after completing five years' continuous residence in the UK.
If you are offered pre-settled status but in fact you have lived in the UK for a continuous five-year period you can upload copies of documents showing this. The Home Office has published a list of the documents which it accepts as evidence of residence. You don't have to rely on the last five years. You can rely on any five-year period as long as you have not been absent from the UK for more than five years since the end of the five-year period.
You won't get a document confirming your status. Instead you will be able to use an online service to view your status and to share the details with other people, such as employers and landlords.
Do you have to apply now to the EU Settlement Scheme?
You don't have to apply now. Assuming the UK does actually leave the EU you will have to apply at some point between now and 30 June 2021 (or 31 December 2020 if there is no deal). But in the current climate many people will want to apply sooner rather than later.


Our Definition Of A Home Theater is a room that includes a quality high definition TV and/or movie projector and screen, properly positioned speakers and subwoofers and audio and video electronics, that when combined, closely reproduce The Feeling Of A Live Sporting Event and The Thrill Of A True Cinema Experience.
A small intimate space like a master bedroom sitting room for you and your partner.
A comfortable medium sized family room or den shared by you and your immediate family.
A larger gathering space for entertaining friends and family like a great room or home entertainment area.
A dedicated home theater room designed and built specifically for viewing sporting events, movies and gaming and usually located in a lower level area, attic space or bonus room.
We will help you accomplish this by measuring the distance between the video display and your favorite viewing area. Once this distance has been calculated we will refer to the guidelines established by organizations like The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers to recommend the correct screen size and picture quality necessary to recreate the desired Visual Home Theater Experience. The larger the screen size, the more difficult it is to maintain life like color, definition and clarity. Additionally, as the screen size increases unwanted visual motion artifacts are exposed. In order to address these concerns in larger screen sizes, an increased investment may be necessary. Therefore, choosing the right technology and video display size should be based upon room size and viewing distances, exposure to natural light, performance expectations and budget allowances. Once the criteria has been gathered, Gramophone Home Theater will present you with TV and/or projector and screen options that will closely reproduce your desired Visual Home Theater Experience.
* In order to achieve maximum picture quality from your new video display device it should be professionally set-up and calibrated.
During this stage we will evaluate your home theater space. This includes room size and shape (cubic area), location of the primary seating and general acoustical room elements (flooring and/or carpeting, draperies, furniture finishes and wall and ceiling surfaces). Once the evaluation is complete we will present you with several options. These selections represent the industries latest technologies and best values. Although 5.1 surround systems (5- speakers and 1-subwwoofer) have been the standard for years, newer Dolby Atmos Cinema systems can reach up to 11.2 (11-speakers and 2-subwoofers). These speaker systems come in a variety of design styles and performance levels and may include bookshelf and floor standing, on or in wall and on or in ceiling speakers and subwoofers. Our recommendations will take into consideration established industry guidelines and our 40 plus years of designing and installing home theaters. Based on our experience, we believe that front, center and surround speakers should be timber matched and properly positioned. Subwoofers can be concealed if properly placed in cabinetry, walls or camouflaged by room décor as long as it doesn't affect their overall performance. These recommended speaker system options, when properly placed and/or installed, will be capable of delivering your desired Home Theater Surround Experience.
* Maximum performance from any home theater speaker system can only be achieved if the home theater environment has been professionally equalized for that system.
Your selection will include a preamp/processor, multi-channel amplifier and 4K Blu-ray player and/or digital video hard drive that will integrate with, complement and enhance the performance of the other elements of your home theater system. Calling upon our extensive knowledge and expertise and following current industry standards and guidelines and based upon your requirements, we will present you with a number of audio and video component choices that will harmonize with your previous selections in order to deliver your Desired Home Theater Experience.
* In order to achieve maximum integration of your home theater system your preamp/processor should be programmed and calibrated to complement and enhance the performance of your TV and home theater surround speaker system and subwoofer(s).

Q: Pandas csv import first row I need help importing a csv into the python using pandas 0.7.3
I can get the data into python but the columns are read in as one column. See example
below.
In [12]: data=pd.read_csv(file)'
In [13]: data[:3]
Out[13]:
        Area    Circ.   AR      Round   Solidity
0  1    31650   0.368   2.973   0.336   0.683
1   2   6875    0.836   1.181   0.847   0.924
2  3    12850   0.767   1.543   0.648   0.902

In [14]: data.columns
Out[14]: Index([        Area    Circ.   AR      Round   Solidity], dtype=object)

How can I import the data so I get the following data structure
In [14]: data.columns
Out[14]: Index([Area, Circ., AR, Round, Solidity,], dtype=object)

such that
In [15]:data['area']
Out[15]:
31650
6875
12850
etc

Thanks.

A: CSV = Comma Separated Values - so normally pandas is searching ; as separator.
You can use sep= in read_csv to define separator.
You can use even regular expression in definition.
For example I define separator as one or more spaces.
df = pd.read_csv(file, sep='\s+')

BTW: the newest version is 0.14 - upgrade pandas.

These plants are named for their funny-face-flowers that look like grinning Monkeys. The genus Mimulus is named for the Latin mimus, a comic actor or mime. We have left the two genera, Mimulus and Diplacus, separate for ecological reasons. The two may be similar taxonomically but there is a clear difference in their plant community requirements. The flowers in the genus Mimulus like moist areas in riparian corridors and aren't very drought tolerant. Some Mimulus species are annuals that appear only when there is a source of constant moisture, seasonal creaks, seeps, ponds etc. Mimulus species are more herbaceous and often shorter. On the other hand, plants in the Genus Diplacus like dry rocky slopes. They can often be found growing in almost solid rock with very little moisture even on south facing slopes. They will often survive drought by going summer deciduous. Diplacus species are erect and woody in their growth habit. Monkey flowers are more floriferous in full sun but will tolerate part or even full shade.
Monkey flowers are a showy California native plant.
Orange bush Monkey flower is cold tolerant to 12-15 deg. It can grow in any soil including serpentine but needs some drainage. Don't over water! The Jepson manual lumps all the monkey flowers into this species, aurantiacus, under the Genus Mimulus. Munz puts them in different species but all under the same genus Mimulus. We prefer to keep them separate (as does the synthesis of the North American flora, the Integrated Taxonomic Information System, and ). This wide ranging monkey flower can be found in the coast ranges from Santa Barbra to Del Norte County and in the foothills of the Sierras from Del Norte to Tuolumne county in the following plant communities: Chaparral, Closed-cone Pine Forest, Central Oak Woodland, Coastal Sage Scrub, Mixed-evergreen Forest, Northern Coastal Sage Scrub, Northern Oak Woodland, Redwood Forest.
This cultivar of orange bush monkey flower is a little nicer that the general form. If you live in the sierras this form would be preferable. It also does well in the coast ranges. It especially likes Decomposed granite soil.
The Sierra soils are very acidic and many plants from other areas have trouble staying green there.
This monkey flower flowers like crazy. It, like most monkey flowers, likes rocky outcroppings. Placing a few rocks around them in your garden looks nice and makes them very happy. It is found in southern California in the following plant communities: Coastal Sage Scrub, Southern Oak Woodland. Ramona Monkey flower was growing in a weedy field outside of Ramona. This Monkey Flower; and a few Coast Live oaks were all that was left for acres. It has grown well in beach sand and adobe soil. Part shade or full sun.
Lompoc monkey flower is a little lighter orange than the strait aurantiacus. It grows well along the coast as well as inland with a little shade. It grows in southern San Luis Obispo county to western Santa Barbra county around Lompoc. It is found in the Chaparral and Coastal Sage Scrub plant communities.
This light yellow monkey flower loves rocky areas. It grows under the protection of boulders or in rocky crevices and rocky outcroppings. This monkey flower is found from Fresno to Kern counties along the base of the sierras and strangely in the interior coast ranges of San Luis Obispo county. It is also found in the San Gabriel mountains to the mountains in north east San Diego county. It is found in these plant communities: chaparral, Central Oak Woodland, Joshua Tree Woodland, and Yellow Pine Forest.
This yellow monkey flower is soft like a Mimulus sp but can tolerate drought like a Diplacus sp. The flowers are unique looking Cleveland's Monkey flower is found from the Santa Ana mountains to southern San Diego county in the Mixed-evergreen Forest, and Yellow Pine Forest plant communities.
Where Diplacus puniceus meets the other monkey flowers like Diplacus clevelandii you get interesting plants like Bert's Raspberry.
This yellowish-orange monkey flower likes rocky slopes with well drained soil but it will tolerate clay. It also tolerates garden conditions if it has well drained soil. It is found in rocky areas in the Santa Lucia mountains of San Luis and Monterey y counties, in the Chaparral,and Central Oak Woodland plant communities it also along the Sierras, in the Yellow Pine Forest plant community. The foliage is a dark shiny green. It seems to prefer a little shade. Deer do not seem to eat any of the Monkey flowers.
This faded yellow monkey flower can look almost white! This is the same monkey flower as in the introduction picture on this page. It likes rock outcroppings and can tolerate full sun on rocky exposed south facing slopes. However it will go summer deciduous under these conditions. You can prevent this by giving it a little summer water. You can also keep it greener by giving it a little shade. Deer aren't interested in it. It likes decomposed granite, and is found in Chaparral, and Coastal Sage Scrub plant communities.
This photo of Long Flowered Monkey flower was one of the first I took with my first digital camera in about 2001.
This southern California monkey can tolerate very hot dry conditions but it will go summer deciduous. If you give it a little shade and some summer water you can keep it looking green. It flowers a lot and the flowers are fairly large. It likes Chaparral, and Coastal Sage Scrub plant communities.
This is a yellower D. longiflorus. It is really large for a monkey flower, it can be over 3 ft tall! It likes Chaparral, Coastal Sage Scrub, and Southern Oak Woodland plant communities.
Diplacus longiflorus, Conejo Monkey Flower and the other Monkey flowers are good for the Hummingbirds.
A 25? year old Diplacus longiflorus, Conejo Monkey Flower.
came from a place in Topanga. It's a Hollywood star.
Another D. longiflorus! This one is also from Southern California. This monkey can tolerate full shade well. It likes the Coastal Sage Scrub plant community.
This southern California Monkey flower is red. It likes well drained soil. It likes part shade inland and full sun along the coast. It is found in the Chaparral, and Coastal Sage Scrub plant communities.
Santa Susana Monkey flower has beautiful brick red flowers and glossy green foliage. This guy is kind of soft so protect it from cold by placing it on the warm side of a structure or under the protection of trees or shrubs if you get hard frosts. It does best in a mild Chaparral plant community. but will work in most of coastal California and the San Joaquin Valley.
If this flower was human it would be a lounge singer.
These monkey flowers can often be found in moist areas near seeps. Creeks, ponds etc. They are generally herbaceous, some are even annuals.
Scarlet monkey flower has brilliant red-orange flowers. The flowers are large but the petals fold back on themselves. Making them tall and narrow. The foliage is soft and light green. Scarlet monkey likes sunny or shady shaded wet places. It can tolerate garden conditions well but may spread if given excess water. It is best near a dripping birdbath or near a facet. The hummingbirds like it.
Seep monkey likes really wet spots. It has lots of yellow flowers that are popular with bumble bees. It does spread but can't grow where there isn't water. So confine it in a wet spot. It prefers sunny locations.
Yes, a this Monkey flower is Pink! This monkey flower does much better at higher elevations. It is confused by are warm days and cold nights. It needs a lot of water. It is would also do well under drippy birdbath.
Creeping monkey flower kind of resembles Seep monkey flower. It also likes really wet areas. It tolerates flooding well.
There are many other species of Monkey flowers in the state. But most are small annuals that no one carries seed for. So they are great to look at, but do not pick please. Take pictures!

Q: Write file names in to a file In a directory I have X.txt,Y.txt,Z.txt files. I want to move these filenames into a single file like below:
Out_file.txt
X.txt
Y.txt
Z.txt

Any unix command to achieve this?

A: It is very simple step, you'd just need to redirect the output of 'ls' into a file.
ls -1 >> file.txt

A: Another option to solve this problem is as follow:
ls | tee Out_File.txt

A: ls >> Out_file.txt

When you are in concerned folder of course...

A: If you want Out_file.txt to contain a sorted list of the name of all the non-hidden files ending in .txt without including Out_file.txt if it wasn't there beforehand, you can do:
sh -c 'ls -d -- "$@" > Out_file.txt' sh *.txt

A: find strikes me as a good choice for the OP's question, and for many similar objectives:

*

*Recursion and the relative file specification are "free" with find, so this command will gather a list of all .txt files at or below the user's current dir, and redirect the list to Out_file.txt:
find -name \*.txt > Out_file.txt

The output will be of the form ./filename.txt, one file per line.

*If only the bare filename is wanted in the output (no directory specs), find (most versions) has a built-in printf option:
find -name \*.txt -printf "%f\n" > Out_file.txt

The output will be of the form filename.txt, one file per line.

*If full recursion isn't wanted (or if "limited recursion" is needed), the maxdepth option is available:
find -maxdepth 1 -name \*.txt -printf "%f\n" > Out_file.txt

This output will be in the same form as many of the other answers here, but won't necessarily be sorted in alphabetical order. If alphabetical order is needed, the find output may be piped through sort:
find -maxdepth 1 -name \*.txt -printf "%f\n" | sort > Out_file.txt

X.txt
Y.txt
Z.txt

*The version I find most useful is this:
find $(pwd) -name \*.mp3 > FullPlaylist.txt

I can create a full playlist of (e.g. mp3-encoded) music files that can be used with mpg321

A: If you want file names of text files,
ls *.txt > file_name_output.text

If you want to get file contents together,
cat *.txt > file_content_output.text

A: Try this tar -cf file.tar X.txt Y.txt Z.txt
This will create file.tar you can run the below command to see the output
vim file.tar
eg:
tar -cf file.tar X.txt Y.txt Z.txt
    vim file.tar
    " tar.vim version v29
    " Browsing tarfile /root/file.tar
    " Select a file with cursor and press ENTER
    X.txt
    Y.txt
    Z.txt

Shown is the out from my system, means it work for me.

A: Use ls | tee -a Out_file.txt
Explanation:

*

*ls -> List directory contents

*| ->   A  pipeline is a sequence of one or more commands separated by one of the control operators | or |&.

*tee -> Read from standard input and write to standard output and files

*-a -> Append to the given FILEs, do not overwrite

A: With all the "ls" related solutions there is a great chance of including format-related gibberish to the text file.
"dir -1 > file.txt" command gives you a single column with the names of all the files and folders in that directory straight away.

A: ls | tr '\n' '\n' >filename.txt
This can save file names of the directory in the file.

Israel thanks U.S. for stand on Mideast nuclear arms ban at U.N.
By Louis Charbonneau
Reuters May 23, 2015
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks before a group photo with ministers of the new Israeli government in Jerusalem May 19, 2015. REUTERS/Nir Elias
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked the United States for blocking an Egyptian-led drive on a possible Middle East nuclear weapons ban at a major United Nations conference, an Israeli official said on Saturday.
It was a rare expression of diplomatic harmony with the United States from Netanyahu, whose relations with President Barack Obama have been strained over U.S.-led nuclear talks with Iran and differences over Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy.
A month-long conference on the 1970 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) ended in failure on Friday over disagreements on how to achieve a Middle East atomic weapons ban. Washington blamed the failure on Egypt, which in turn blamed the U.S., British and Canadian delegations.
Netanyahu conveyed his gratitude to President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry in a call to Kerry, said a senior Israeli official, requesting anonymity.
"The United States kept its commitment to Israel by preventing a Middle East resolution that would single out Israel and ignore its security interests and the threats posed to it by an increasingly turbulent Middle East," the official said.
Israel also thanked Britain and Canada for joining the United States in blocking consensus, the official said.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon voiced disappointment that NPT parties were "unable to narrow their differences on the future of nuclear disarmament or to arrive at a new collective vision on how to achieve a Middle East zone free of nuclear weapons and all other weapons of mass destruction (WMD)."
Last month, Egypt, backed by other Arab and non-aligned states, proposed that Ban convene a regional conference on banning WMD as called for at the 2010 NPT review meeting. A planned 2012 conference on the issue never took place.
According to Egypt's proposal, that conference could take place with or without Israel's participation, and could be held without agreement on an agenda or discussion of regional security issues - two of Israel's conditions for participating.
Israel neither confirms nor denies the widespread assumption that it controls the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal. Israel, which has never joined the NPT, agreed to take part in the review meeting as an observer, ending a 20-year absence.
Egypt's proposals, Western diplomats say, were aimed at pressuring Israel. Washington and Israel say Iran's nuclear program is the real regional threat.
Iran says its program is peaceful. It is negotiating with world powers to curb it in exchange for lifting sanctions.
Israel has said it would consider joining the NPT only once at peace with its Arab neighbors and Iran.

Microsoft announced today that new versions of its SQL Server and Visual Studio products are available, and a new version of BizTalk Server is in beta testing and set for release in early 2006.
The three products -- SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005 and BizTalk Server 2006 -- are more tightly integrated than they have been in the past, according to the company.
Steve Martin, director of Microsoft's Connected Systems Division, said the new releases will make the company more competitive against integration solutions that agencies and companies develop internally. BizTalk Server facilitates the integration of systems.
"As the product continues to mature, we can take on more complex scenarios," he said.
SQL Server is aimed at three audiences, said David Brown, Microsoft's architect evangelist: developers, administrators and business intelligence experts.
"There's a number of new capabilities inside of SQL Server 2005 that these customers are finding attractive," he said. The product includes an advanced version of a tool to bring together data from different sources into a single report.
Microsoft plans to follow today's worldwide product launch with a special launch event for federal customers in Washington, D.C., in January 2006, said Darryl Schaffer, developer and platform evangelism director of the Microsoft Federal Application Platform and Developer Team.
"In the interim, we continue to educate folks on the value of these technologies," he said.

'I wish every young woman could experience this:' Sydney women inspired by Miss World competition
Nikki Sullivan (nicole.sullivan@cbpost.com)
Updated: Dec 16, 2019 at 11:13 a.m.
Miss Canada Naomi Colford, second from right, and fellow Miss World contestants take a photo during a boat ride in London, England, during the early stages of the competition which consisted of more than three weeks of challenges. Colford said she was inspired by her fellow contestants who she said are already instigating positive change in their home countries. Also pictured are, from left, Miss Angola Brezana Da Costa, Miss Botswana Phirinyane Gofaone, Miss Antigua and Barbuda Taqiyyah Francis, Miss Barbados Che'Amor Greenidge and Miss Japan Malika Sera. - Contributed
Naomi Colford's Miss World experience is one the Sydney native thinks will be impossible to beat.
Although the 19-year-old didn't win the crown or make the top 40 quarter-final, Colford is proud of her accomplishments. Her beauty with purpose campaign, where she visited schools and daycares educating students on the importance of healthy foods, made the top 20 and Colford's jazz solo placed third out of 130 contestants. And she is the first Nova Scotian to ever make it to the stage of the longest-running global beauty pageant.
Miss World Canada 2019, Naomi Colford of Sydney, poses for a photo is in London, England for the Miss World pageant.
However, talking to Colford the morning after the competition on Saturday as she rushes through airport security in England, it seems her fellow contestants are what truly made the experience unforgettable.
Naomi Colford of Sydney, Miss Canada World, shows a medal she and her team won during a sports challenge in London, England.
"It was so inspiring to see so many young women who are already doing things to change the world … and the impact they are already making," said the second-year Cape Breton University nursing student.
"It's inspiring to be around women who are the same age as me, who are already doing stuff that is instigating change, that is helping the world. It's super inspiring … I wish every young woman could experience this."
Colford took the title of Miss Canada World in July after winning Miss Maritime World in May. Since Nov. 20, Colford's been in London, England, with the other international Miss World contestants participating in different challenges.
During her three and a half weeks working side by side with the contestants, Colford said she developed friendships with everyone, but has especially tight bonds with Nyah Christine Bandelier (the Bahamas), Jaci Patrick (Cayman Islands), Princess Mikhaelia Megonondo (Indonesia) and her roommate Malika Sera (Japan).
"We've all gotten so close over the past few weeks. But we've already made travel plans," she said.
"I've told them all about the Cape Breton, the Cabot Trail, the gypsum mines — they all want to come. I expect some visitors soon."
The 2019 Miss World winner was Miss Jamaica Toni-Ann Singh, who came first in the talent portion of the competition, beating out runner-up Ophely Mezino (France) and third-place contestant Suman Ratansingh Rao (India).
After Singh's name was announced, Miss Nigeria Nyekachi Douglas, one of the top five finalists, jumped up and down with excitement, as if her name was called.
Colford said watching the winner be named and crowned was another unforgettable experience.
"She is going to do a great job as Miss World."
Future plans for Colford include returning to her studies at CBU and continuing her beauty with a purpose project.
"There's still a lot for me to do as Miss Canada," she said. "I'm so just so grateful."

Hair Testing for Alcohol Use
You can tell a lot about a person's state of health and their habits by the condition of their hair. Long after certain drugs have been flushed out of the bloodstream, they'll still show up in hair, and looking for those substances in the hair can reveal the extent of a person's substance abuse patterns. So, do workplaces conduct hair tests for substance abuse? Sometimes, but they hardly ever to test for alcohol. The reasons are two-fold – first, the test is considerably more expensive than a urine testing. Second, the federal government doesn't consider hair testing to be a valid means of testing for alcohol.
Hair or Urine
A hair analysis test, conducted by a qualified graduate of a hair collector training course, examines the hair for the presence of ETG (ethyl glucoronide), which remains in the hair for up to three months, and/or for FAEE (fatty acid ethyl esters), which remain in the hair for up to a year. So, why aren't they used all that much?
As previously stated, these tests are expensive. They're more appropriate to issues of child custody, where the court might mandate such a test as a means of proving that a parent seeking custody doesn't have a problem with alcohol, or that he or she is working to overcome a problem. They're less useful when it comes to determining immediate impairment, for example in issues where workplace safety is an issue.
A urine test determines whether alcohol has been used recently, and therefore meets DOT drug testing requirements. Hair testing would be essentially useless in determining alcohol as a factor in a workplace accident.
Do Any Employers Use Hair Testing?
Yes, they do. If it's a condition of your employment that you abstain from using alcohol at all times, the test has value. One example of this would be people who are employed as alcohol counselors – in such a case, knowing about long-term use would be helpful. Even then, though, a series of regular urine tests would be less expensive, and even more conclusive. A hair test can determine if you've used alcohol at some point, but it wouldn't be possible to pinpoint exactly when. Alcohol use is, of course, not illegal, so it could be argued that hair testing discriminates against people based on lifestyle choices.
Is There a Market for Hair Testing?
Of course there is. But it has to be done at specialized labs, and in case the point hasn't been effectively made just yet, it's expensive. However, when a hair test is needed, a graduate of a hair collector training course is going to be needed to do it. It's a niche market, to be sure, but it can be a great opportunity for a drug or alcohol test technician who wants to specialize, or even set up in his or her own full-time or part-time business.

Beyond Forever: Lenny White
Beyond Forever:
MD Talks With Lenny White
by Aran Wald
Lenny White was born in Queens, N. Y. and travelled to Forever. Excuse the forced pun, but it was with Chick Corea's Return to Forever, that Lenny made the reputation that engendered his foray as a solo act."I got a call from a different guitar player every day for about a month," Lenny related. "When they heard about the breakup of RTF, they all wanted to play with me. There were some people who played better than others, but I was looking for versatility."That's the key word as far as his direction is concerned – versatility. Lenny wants the group – which was formed in the beginning of 1977 – "to mesh into different kinds of styles, and to play any kind of music like post bop, space bop, jazz, rock – anything." That led to the discovery of different musicians who were at home in various phases of the music.Caught up in a busy schedule, Lenny and I sat down in a borrowed office to discuss some of the finer points of his musical career.
WALD: Are your musicians schooled? Do you look for that?
WHITE: I don't necessarily look for that. One of my guitarists went to Berklee and didn't like it. It's a different thing today because younger musicians are into all kinds of music. You have the fusion groups that play music with diverse roots. They come from traditional jazz music, or from rock and roll. The kids that started out listening to guitar from the Ventures are listening to George Benson. You have a cross reference, a meshing of styles.
WALD: Will you be diluting the effect if you seek to touch all bases?WHITE: Oh, we'll basically have a concept. I write for the group and I'll concentrate on certain things. Alex Blake writes for us, and the whole group put a tune together. So we have a direction – but we won't be limited. I brought in a theme and had the whole group work on it and find out what kind of influences they would bring into this piece of music. I wanted to see what it would sound like if we all composed a single piece of music. We all use our roots and it's all individual.
WALD: Where did you get your harmony training?
WHITE: I listen to a lot of records man, let me tell you. (laughs) If you mean did I have formal training – no. When I was young, the music played around the house was Duke, Basie, Trane, Miles and Bird. My father was a Lester Young fan. I listened to classical music in school, and I listened to more of it on my own – everyday. Even today I take a cassette player wherever I go. It's a thing about conditioning. I have a very young son and everytime I turn on the music, he's right there and moving. When my wife was pregnant, she was always around music. Maybe there are vibes – who knows. My harmonic approach to music is a lot more limited than someone who's studied piano or whatever, but I don't think it's all that bad. It's a matter of ears.
WALD: I assume you were a drummer to start?
WHITE: I don't remember. I wanted to play trumpet, but the next thing I knew I was playing drums in the school orchestra. They'd have had me playing tuba unless I had two years training on drums. I told them I did and faked my way through it. To this day I don't know whether my teacher knew, or I was lucky.
WALD: Did you ever have any formal drum training at all?
WHITE: No, not sitting down with a teacher. I know about flams and paradiddles, but I learned how to do them by watching people play, and by buying a book that told me what to do with what I saw. I still do some things that are incorrect technically. I lived down the street from a club called the Club Ruby and I saw Max Roach and Philly Jo. I'd look in the window and try to do the same thing. I'd listen to records and hear things, and try to create the same sound. Tony Williams was my idol. He would take Philly Jo's style, Max's style, and Roy Haynes, and he'd put his own thing to it. He would do things that were unorthodox. Opening the hi-hats and splash at them. Hit the stick here and there – drag the stick. Roy would hit on all four corners of the beat, not necessarily the downbeat. His hi-hat wouldn't be on two and four all the time.
WALD: Wouldn't you give the credit for all that to Art Blakey who experimented like that before Haynes?
WHITE: Art played in the middle of the beat. Philly Jo and Tony played on top of the beat; Elvin played a little bit behind, but Art played right in the center, like the pulse. Of course I listened to Art. I could play one of his solos, pressed tolls and all. He was the first person I heard play K. Zildjian cymbals. I didn't know what it was, but the sound on those old Blue Note records…the crash would be like (makes a sound of rolling surf). Those K. Zildjians were different from the A's. K's are made in Turkey. They're darker sounding with more overtones. I remember getting my first K's and sounding like Art Blakey.
WALD: What do you use now?
WHITE: I use mostly A's, due to the nature of the new music. K's don't cut. I was using K's when I first went with RTF and beating them to death. They wouldn't project. They're softer and they would split and crack. I did a little research and listening and bought some A's which are brighter and a little bit heavier. They also project more. You need that with all the other electronic instruments up there. We drummers don't turn up an amplifier. It's all pressure we put in the drum or the cymbal. Out of the frequency range they rate near the top. You can get a synthesizer to play notes that are above that, but you can't hear them. There are overtones that you can't hear from cymbals, too. I use A. Zildjian because of the amplification, and because they're brighter and they cut through more.
WALD: What about your drums?
WHITE: My first set was an $80 special – didn't even have a hi-hat; just a bass drum, snare and cymbal. Later, a friend of the family – Brad Spinney – gave me a Gretsch set – my first real set. It was THE thing to use Gretsch because of that little insignia on the bass drum, and all of the people I admired played them. I still use Gretsch. I use one 22″ bass with both heads. All my drums have two heads. I use 12″ and 13″ mounted toms, and three floor toms: 14″, 16″ and 18 x 16″. My snare is 5 x 14″. I have a few snare drums, but the one I use live and on recordings is a Gretsch wood. It has a special strainer on it, and nylon snares by Hinger. I also use an A. Zildjian 24″ high buffed heavy ride cymbal. The heaviness allows me to get the cleanliness, the definition rather than overtones. I like to hear the actual attack. I also use a 16″ and 18″ crash, and a 20″ K. Zildjian with six rivets. My hi-hats are high gloss 14″ heavy.
WALD: No splash, no gongs?
WHITE: No, not my style. I used some of the percussion things earlier in my career, but not now. But I'll use them again.
WALD: What's the difference between what you're playing now and earlier?
WHITE: What we're playing now is more structured. RTF was very structured also. You had the same situation I described earlier. You had people who came from the improvising school of music, Chick, Stanley and myself – post bop. We played this structured type music. What's different is that I'm touching more areas than I did before. With RTFI played more high energy music, all dexterity, a lot of emphasis on notes – technique. The new group is more into textures, sound images. We try to recreate musical images that fit the tunes. On one piece, we try to recreate the music of China. On another, the textures from Egypt. We make audio pictures. We did some of that with RTF, but I still think the emphasis was on technical dexterity, and sheer artistic bent.
WALD: Did you practice when you were with them?
"I don't like to use electronics just because it's there. I think
they should be used musically, around a piece of music.
I feel the same way about drum solos."
WHITE: We didn't rehearse that much. We'd rehearse before we had a record date. The first time we played new music with Al DiMeola in the band we rehearsed for two days. I didn't practice that much. I had some difficulty with some things that RTF played, but on the whole there weren't that many problems. I can remember two instances that involved incorrect sticking. On Celebration Suite there was a drum thing and I had a problem with it, mostly because of incorrect sticking. I was prepared to work it out, but Chick said he'd work something around it. Since then, things like that have come easier to me because I constantly do it. You acquire different techniques, just like Miles created his own thing. I'll have mine because I don't have a technical approach to the music. I try to get the most musical approach to the instrument I can.
WALD: Does head pressure have anything to do with that?
WHITE: Sure. I use Remo Ambassador weight clear heads. On the snare drum I use a coated head, a regular snare drum batter. I use a Diplomat on the bottom. The pressure varies from recordings to live performances. There are different acoustics in different halls. There's also the handicap of the drummer sitting on stage playing in his sound and not actually hearing it. You don't know how it sounds to the audience because the sound goes through speakers. You hear it through the monitors sure, but you don't get a true, true sound. You try to get a sound that's as true as possible. I'll tune a drum and know that the sound will carry, that it will have weight. If I tuned it with more tension it would make the sound a bit thinner, and it wouldn't carry the same way. It would lose some of its impact if I loosened it a bit more.
Today's drummer is what really makes the band happen.
The guy who keeps the time. If the time gets weird,
the soloists can't play. Even the greatest soloist in
the world can't play if the bottom falls out from
under him."
WALD: Have you tried metal or fiberglass?
WHITE: Yeah. Also plastic, but I like the sound of the true drums. I like the sound of wood.
WALD: About the size of your set-up, do you consider yours large or small?
WHITE: I'm right in the middle between a bop set-up like Max's, and Billy Cobham's wrap-around. I might augment the set with some Remo Rototoms or melodic tom-toms. They give you some melodic depth.
WALD: Would you get the same melodic depth by adding electronics?
WHITE: I did some recording in 1970 where I used electronic instruments. I did a session with George Cables and Stanley Clarke which was never released, and I used a lot of electronics on my drums. I did a session with Luis Gasca and Carlos Santana and there's a bit on there too. There was one with Buddy Terry that I used Echoplex on.
WALD: What about the drum synthesizer?
WHITE: I used a Moog for an effect, but I used it musically. I don't like to use electronics just because it's there. I think they should be used musically around a piece of music we do that's just a drum thing. I play a drum lick on bass drum and we get everybody in the group to play the same lick with melodic notes, but it's the same lick. That's the best way to present a drum solo. Like the way Philly played rudiments. To me classic fours is Billy Boy on Miles Davis's Milestones album.
WALD: That's probably the most deft brush work I've ever heard.
WHITE: Another solo that sticks out in my mind would be Skin Deep by Louie Bellson with Ellington. That's a work man. The band was around him. They played the drum solo WITH him and that's the way it should be presented. One piece of mine opens with synthesizer on a sequencer, that is a sample and hold which is played randomly. I'll play with that and the band will play around it. The band supports the drums. It's arranged so that the drums are playing on this figure. It's the same concept as a horn player playing and the rhythm section accompanying him. This way, the drummer is playing the solo and everyone else is accompanying him.
WALD: I take it you're an ensemble player.
WHITE: That's the thing I liked about Roy, Tony and Philly, too. In the early days of the Lifetime group with McGloughlin and Larry Young, they'd play figures and Tony would play on top of the figures. The group around Roy Haynes would play a blues and Roy would play a melodic solo over the blues. That's like an art to me – to be able to play a drum solo and make it melodic. Max did it all the time, Bemsha Swing, Parisian Thoroughfare, I Get a Kick out of You; that's arty drumming to me. I met Max the day I did the Bitches Brew album with Miles. We had a little talk and he befriended me – gave me some pointers. Later, I met Art Blakey at Slug's in the Village and he paid me the highest compliment by letting me sit in on some solos; he did that again at the Village Vanguard. When I was playing the Vanguard with Freddie Hubbard, I went back to the kitchen and Philly Jo was there. He said, "You're playing good. You gotta kick Freddie's ass, make his lips burn." All the while Freddie was telling me I was playing too loud. When I came up it was the chic thing to be overpowering. It was hip to get over. It was during the time Tony was with Miles and Elvin was with Trane. And they were different, not only harmonically, but the way they approached the beat. Both Elvin and Tony played pulse, but Tony was more on top of the beat – ride-hi-hat. Elvin was into the DRUMS, like quarter note triplets and stuff. They were two different schools. It was the thing to hear people say, "man, that drummer was bad. Did you hear that drummer with Freddie?" You wanted to make a voice and to have people hear you.
WALD: Do you use both stick grips?
WHITE: I used to. I still use the traditional grip when I play straight ahead, but you get more power out of the matched.
WALD: When you listen to a group's drummer, what do you like to hear?
WHITE: In today's music I listen for a drummer that has built-in-ears – a guy who pushes the band. Today's drummer is what really makes the band happen. The guy who keeps the time. If the time gets weird the soloists can't play. Even the greatest soloist in the world can't play if the bottom falls out from under him. All the great players are masters at doing that. Buddy pushes that band man, and he's colorful. A drummer is back there sitting. He can't move. He has to sit there and be colorful. He has to be animated.
WALD: Do sticks make a difference?
WHITE: I use a Regal Tip 5A. They're between light and heavy. I use the plastic tip, again, because of the clean, crisp sound.
WALD: What have you learned from being a leader?
WHITE: All about life. Basically, how to put things together. More will come through trial and error. At concerts, my attention was on the stage where it shouldn't be. The people became more impressed with me than they were with my group. That's understandable because I was the leader and the best known, and I felt I had to perform because if I didn't, it wouldn't go over. I might have put on better performances had I been more relaxed. Now I know that if I spread the spotlight around it takes the pressure off any one of us. My concentration now is on the audience rather than on the stage. Your attention should be around the whole room and not centered in any one area. My attention was on everyone on stage. I wasn't playing to the audience; I was playing to the guys on stage – like a quarterback giving orders. I've also learned to play differently in a club than I do at a concert. My attention span must take in the whole room – no matter how large.
WALD: Now that jazz is getting out there, more musicians are learning to project themselves. What's your goal?
WHITE: First, I want to become a personality, then a musical personality, then a drummer. If someone tuned in and saw Buddy on the Tonight Show and never heard him play, they'd think he was a comedian. I know, I can do that. I can tell jokes. I want people to say, "I love his music; I love the way he plays, and I love the guy." All about Lenny White. Take Miles, for instance. Here's a guy who is loved for all the things you're not supposed to do.
WALD: What about setting up a group. Is it difficult?
WHITE:: For some, I guess it is. I was with the top group of my genre. I didn't have to start at the bottom again. I had the recognition already. Business wise, you have to have something that appeals to people, not only musically – but visually. You have to be an accessible commodity. If you're not accessible, you don't get on TV, and TV is the most important medium today. More people come to see the show than hear the music these days. The first thing you must have is a musical concept. Then, you begin to make it salable. The classic examples are the Beatles, their haircuts – clothes. People began to believe them when they said anything. Another example is Muhammed Ali. He's the most famous man in the world, and it's not because of boxing alone. People who hate him will also come just to see him get beat. He gets it over. He makes it accessible. In my case, it also has to compliment the music, or it won't work for me.

Jury in Officer Porter trial was one vote from acquittal on most serious charge
By Kevin Rector and Justin Fenton

The jury in the trial of Baltimore Police Officer William G. Porter was one vote from acquitting him of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Freddie Gray, the most serious charge he faced, according to sources familiar with the deliberations.
Judge Barry G. Williams declared a mistrial because the jury deadlocked on all four charges last month. Jurors were two votes from convicting Porter of misconduct in office, and more divided on the charges of assault and reckless endangerment, sources said.
How the jury voted has not been revealed previously, and the judge ruled that jurors' names should not be revealed.
Legal experts say the information is critical to understanding the process now playing out as prosecutors and Porter's defense attorneys prepare for his scheduled retrial in June. The information could also help shape legal strategies in the pending cases against the other five police officers charged in Gray's arrest and death in April.
Prosecutors seek to compel William Porter to testify in all officers' trials
Prosecutors and Porter's defense attorneys are barred by a gag order from discussing the case. When reached by The Baltimore Sun, the attorneys declined to be interviewed.
One juror said some on the panel in Porter's trial were driven to tears during deliberations and afterward. The juror agreed to be interviewed by The Sun but asked to remain anonymous because Williams requested that panel members not discuss their experience. Sun reporting corroborated the juror's account of the votes.
The jurors had to vote unanimously to convict or acquit Porter of any of the four charges he faced, and their inability to reach a verdict weighed heavily on their minds, the juror said. While deliberations turned tense at times, the juror said the panel members were "heartfelt in their duty."
"I was very touched by the passion that many jurors brought to their arguments," the juror said.
In addition to the final 11-1 split in favor of acquittal on the involuntary manslaughter charge, sources said the jury split the following ways:
•On second-degree assault, jurors voted 8-2 in favor of acquittal with two undecided.
•On reckless endangerment, they split 7-3 in favor of conviction with two undecided.
•On misconduct in office, jurors split 10-1 in favor of conviction with one undecided.
"This was the vote that was on the board when the jury conceded to deadlock," the juror said. "Had we continued discussions, there's great likelihood that the numbers could have switched, but I couldn't say which way."
Members of the panel had changed their votes multiple times during the deliberations, the juror said. A few more jurors wanted to convict Porter of manslaughter at the start of the deliberations but changed their minds, the juror said.
The jury was composed of four black women, three black men, three white women and two white men.
Legal experts say that a juror's right to speak after a trial is protected by the Constitution and that Williams' request likely had a chilling effect.
A second juror, attorney Susan Elgin — the only juror to be publicly identified — previously told The Sun she wanted to discuss the jury's deliberations but could not because of Williams' request. She declined to comment for this article.
Williams spoke to the jury after the mistrial, but it is unclear what information about their deliberations, if any, he shared with prosecutors and defense attorneys.
Williams cannot comment on pending cases, a court spokeswoman said.
When Williams declared the mistrial, he said the jurors had "clearly been diligent" in their deliberations. After he dismissed the jurors, they were quickly escorted from the courthouse and driven away in court-provided vans before reporters could ask them questions.
Gray, a 25-year-old black man, died in April after suffering a severe spinal cord injury in police custody. His death sparked widespread protests against police brutality, and his funeral was followed by rioting, looting and arson.
All six police officers charged in Gray's arrest and death have pleaded not guilty. Four were suspended without pay; the other two, who are charged with misdemeanors, were suspended with pay.
Prosecutors see Officer Porter as both a liar and a potential witness
Prosecutors might have created a problem for themselves this week when they called Officer William G. Porter a liar.
By Kevin Rector
Porter, a 26-year-old officer on the force since 2012, was the first to go to trial.
Prosecutors, who consider Porter a witness against the other five officers, filed motions asking the court to compel him to testify. The matter is pending before the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, the state's second-highest court, which issued a stay and scheduled a hearing for March 4.
The intervention of the higher court has thrown off the aggressive timetable initially set for the trials of the six officers between December and March. A decision by the appellate court could take months.
Prosecutors say Porter failed to secure Gray in a seat belt when called by Officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr., the driver of the van in which prosecutors allege he suffered the fatal injury, to check on him. They also allege that Porter failed to call for a medic when Gray asked for one.
The prosecution's medical experts said Gray was not hurt when he entered the van, that he suffered the neck injury before the stop where Porter checked on him, and was later pulled from the van at the Western District police station unconscious and not breathing — in part because of Porter's inaction.
Mistrial declared in trial of Officer William Porter in death of Freddie Gray
Judge Barry G. Williams declared a mistrial on all counts, leaving it to prosecutors to decide whether to retry the case.
By Justin Fenton and Kevin Rector
Porter, who took the stand in his own defense, said that he did not believe Gray was seriously injured when he checked on him and that officers rarely secure detainees in seat belts in transport vans. Still, Porter said, he told Goodson and Sgt. Alicia White that Gray would need to go to the hospital in order to be admitted to Central Booking.
Medical experts for the defense testified that Gray likely suffered his injuries after the stop where Porter checked on him.
Williams told the jurors that in order to find Porter guilty of manslaughter, they would have to find that he acted in a "grossly negligent manner" and that his conduct was a "gross departure" from what a "reasonable police officer" would do in a similar situation.
Williams said the charge of misconduct in office would require a finding that Porter had "corruptly failed to do an act required by his duties," and that it was "not a mere error in judgment" but involved an "evil motive and bad faith."
"You must apply the law as I describe it," Williams told the jurors. He told them they "should not be swayed by sympathy, prejudice or public opinion," and should consider others' opinions but not surrender their own "honest opinion."
During their deliberations, jurors "presented their stances" to each other, referred back to evidence presented in the case and to Williams' instructions about the charges, and looked through their own notes from the trial, according to the juror who agreed to be interviewed.
The juror declined to discuss the points of contention in the panel's deliberations.
At one point, the jurors asked the court to more clearly define "evil motive" and "bad faith," but were told that "the court has provided all of the information it can."
Jurors asked not to talk, documents filed under seal in Freddie Gray case
Judge Barry G. Williams has taken extraordinary steps to limit the information that becomes public in the criminal case against six Baltimore police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray, including asking jurors not to talk about the trial of the first officer even after a mistrial was declared.
The way in which juries split on individual charges, as well as the specific issues that divided them, can affect subsequent decisions by prosecutors and defense attorneys, including whether to retry a defendant, drop the charges, or offer or accept a plea deal, experts said.
Jurors often begin deliberations with an initial vote. Paula Hannaford-Agor, director of the Center for Juries Studies, said that vote can be more instructive than the final tally. She said the initial size of the "minority faction" of jurors — those voting against the majority position — is more predictive of whether a subsequent jury might also be unable to reach a unanimous decision, according to her research.
"If you've just got one or two people who are initially holding out, they are much more likely to capitulate," she said. A larger minority faction in the initial vote is harder to overcome.
Still more useful would be information about the most heavily disputed theories in the case, and those issues the jurors agreed on, Hannaford-Agor said.
"What are the competing arguments that are being made in the jury room? What seemed to resonate with people? What gave people pause?" she said.
Gerard P. Martin, a veteran defense attorney and former federal prosecutor who is not involved in the cases, said prosecutors must be heartened by the fact the jury was leaning toward conviction on the lesser charges. He said he does not believe prosecutors will be deterred by the final vote because they likely understood that securing a manslaughter conviction would be difficult.
Prosecutors could amend the charges but have given no sign that that is their intention. Martin said the defense should see more reasons for optimism.
"All they need is one to say 'no,'" he said. "I would hang in there if I were the defense lawyer."
Porter retrial scheduled for June 13; Goodson's trial unchanged, to begin Jan. 6
By Justin Fenton
Attorneys for the six officers had argued before Porter's trial that an impartial jury could not be seated in Baltimore because city residents had been exposed to publicity about the case and might fear further unrest if the officers were acquitted.
Williams rejected that idea. In December, the judge, prosecutors and Porter's attorneys questioned about 150 potential jurors over two days before selecting a 12-member panel.
The jurors — all of whom indicated that they were familiar with the case — were not supposed to talk to anyone about the case during the trial. They were not supposed to discuss the case with each other until they began deliberating.
Hannaford-Agor said she was not surprised that jury deliberations in the Porter case turned emotional.
The fact people across the country are following the proceedings, she said, likely created an "additional weightiness" around the decision in the jurors' minds.

"A lot of jurors really feel like they've failed when they can't come to a decision — that this was something they should have been able to do and they just failed to do it," she said.

Newly developed technologies are being used more and more in medicine and surgery, thus possibly changing daily activities. In the last years in spinal surgery was introduced the concept of navigation system and actually is recognize as a useful tool, especially in screws positioning.
However, despite triumphalism and excellent clinical and radiological results, as demonstrated by several papers, there is still debate regarding where and when this technology should be used.
• 3D navigation based on intraoperative acquisition of images.
According to the type of navigation used different concerns arise: the quality of imaging, the overall cost of these technologies, the learning curve and radiation exposure form the main points on the bench for the prosecution.
Based on our long experience with all the type of navigation systems, adopted since 2001, we have created this interactive course, composed by a mix of lectures, live-surgery and an unique hands on course on spinal navigation, with the aim of offering a comprehensive picture of the topic.
Advantages as well disadvantages will be discussed with criticism and peculiar solutions proposed.
This course will provide the unique opportunity to meet some of the greatest exponents in the world of spine surgery. Participants will have the chance to interact with the experts in a relaxed and informal setting by discussing from the operating-room set-up to the technical aspects of navigation system. Specific clinical cases and tip and tricks of navigation will touch by hands during the interactive cadaver lab.
Milano is for the first time the venue of an event with this peculiar format, possible thanks to the new Luzzatto center and to an high-quality audio-video connection.
Following our tradition we have organized a format promoting discussions and sharing of experiences; our target will be achieved if those who will attend at this event will get back with some even small useful hint for professional activity.
