In October of 2018 the Friends of the Grande performed a structural inspection of all three floors of the Grande Ballroom building. Undertaken with the cooperation of the current owners Chapel Hill Missionary Baptist Church, professional services were paid for with funds raised via a GoFundMe campaign.
A structural engineer and a disaster recovery/roofing contractor were part of the team that toured and analyzed the building. Photos and HD video from this visit and from earlier Aerial Drone overflights were used to compile a structural integrity report. This report is an integral part of the due diligence necessary for stabilization and restoration decision making.
Discovered was a building in surprisingly good shape considering the amount of deferred maintenance over the past 25 + years. A significant number of roof panels have failed exposing the lower ceilings to the sky and elements. Water has invaded the Grande causing damage to plaster and other soft elements such as wood. That said, the Ballroom was built during a time of prosperity when many similar structures were also extremely "overbuilt." Huge reinforced concrete trusses and columns used throughout the structure are in very good condition. Vast steel trusses, some 80 feet in length support the roof over the dance floor and exhibit only minor surface rust. This concrete and steel skeleton is the Ballroom's saving grace. A lesser wooden structure would have completely rotted away under similar conditions. The basement is relatively dry and the foundation solid. All windows were completely boarded over in September of 2017.
".. the structure is in much better condition than expected …. While it needs repairs, the repairs are relatively minor and the structure is in no danger of collapse during repairs as long as no large construction loads are added to it." Grande Structural Report.
In summary this phase of due diligence is closed. Based upon these discoveries, the Grande Ballroom is considered viable for stabilization, restoration and adaptive re-use. This status coupled with its recent inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places clears the way for additional business case planning, grant writing and fundraising.
When it opened in 1928 the Grande Ballroom dance floor featured approximately 20 ornate molded plaster column caps or "corbels". It is has been speculated that these and other several other Grande architectural ornaments are the work of the noted sculptor Corrado Parducci.
Grande Architect Charles Agree regularly employed Parducci and it is plausible that his studio was hired for the Grande project.
Over time all of these column caps were ripped or cut off their bases by scrappers and souvenir hunters looking for profit or to otherwise collect them.
Recently since the announcement of the inclusion of the Grande on the National Register of Historic Places, the Friends of the Grande became aware of two of the column cap/corbels. With help from several parties concerned with the preservation of the ballroom, these artifacts were acquired on behalf of the owners and placed in secure storage. Should the Grande ever be restored, this artwork can be recreated, replicated and reinstalled.
If you would like to see one of these Column Caps/Corbels for yourself, starting January 7 it will be on display at the Detroit Sound Conservancy's "Salvaging Sound" exhibit at Detroit Historical museum through April.
It was a bright sunny morning in Detroit to go flying! Thanks to our generous GoFundMe donors The Friends of the Grande were able to engage our professionals for the first phase of the Grande Ballroom analysis and inspection, the aerial survey.
Harry Arnold of Detroit Drone brought out his commercial grade video photography drone for this morning's overflight. Our structural engineer and representatives from the building's owner, Chapel Hill Missionary Baptist Church were also present.
Mr. Arnold brings with him a large 36″ Flat screen monitor that displays real time video from the drone. With this capability customers can direct the pilot to points of interest and concern. The end result was that we captured some spectacular stills and video documenting the condition of the Grande's roof.
Special thanks to Deacon Hudson from Chapel Hill and Marty Rickard for the ground photos.

Monday evening June 5 from 7-9 P.M. we are calling to order the first Friends of the Grande meeting in over ten years. This is a public meeting that is open to anyone interested in contributing to the cause of preserving and restoring the Grande Ballroom building. As of this spring, the current owners Chapel Hill Missionary Baptist Church have granted approval to pursue nomination of the building to the National Register of Historic Places and to investigate restoration/redevelopment potential.
We will be talking about the nomination which will be reviewed in September and discussing potential business cases. On the agenda are a number of pre-development projects that are critical to saving the building. "Sealing the envelope" of the structure is paramount and the help of volunteers coupled with fundraising efforts can aid in achieving that goal.
We will be holding this meeting in the auditorium of Techshop Detroit. Techshop is a membership-based, open-access, DIY workshop and fabrication studio that welcomes people of all skill levels to come in and use industrial tools and equipment to build their own projects.
Although it's technically in Northville, I'll be appearing at the Livonia Barnes and Noble Local Author Book Fair on Saturday March 4 @ 7 P.M.
I am one of ten local authors invited to participate based upon the success of our titles at the chain. So if you still enjoy browsing through real physical books and meeting those that write them, please come out and join us!
After 12 years of toil, dozens of interviews, countless library hours and plenty of travel, I am pleased to finally announce the release of my book, "The Grande Ballroom – Detroit's Rock n Roll Palace." Much thanks to all the Grande faithful who helped me get to this point. To all the principals, patrons and performers, I hope this offering is a reflective glimpse into the entire 88 year history of the building that you will all enjoy.

Beverly Court Spanish Tile outer roof.
Recently during inspections of the Grande Ballroom, our team discovered some of remnants of the Grande's famous Spanish or "barrel" tile roof.
Upon close examination of the tiles we noted the original manufacturer and count for the production run. #213 of 56,370.
It turns out that the manufacturer Ludowici Co. is still in business in New Lexington, Ohio and has been since 1888.
Architect Charles Agree would have worked with this supplier to choose the specific glaze colors for these ceramic, kiln fired, "barrel" tiles. They are commonly very expensive and had the durability to last 100 years or more. We are not certain if all 56,370 tiles from the run were used at the Grande, but given the custom colors it is certainly possible.
On December 10,2018, The Grande Ballroom was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Originally proposed in 2008, the nomination gained steam with the approval of the current owners, Chapel Hill Missionary Baptist Church in 2016. With this status the building qualifies for tax credits and helps pave the way for additional redevelopment grants and funding.
The week of October 21, 2018 saw new activity at the Grande Ballroom. Onlookers would have seen the application of a new coat of paint to the building….
This was the beginning of the new community art project underwritten by Wayne and Margaret Saadi Kramer's Jail Guitar Doors charity. For those unaware, Jail Guitar Doors (JGD) is the Kramers' non-profit organization providing musical instruments and mentorship to help rehabilitate prisoners through the transformative power of music. JGD is presently active in over 130 correctional facilities in the U.S.
The objective of the mural is to depict Wayne's story, the positive mission of Jail Guitar Doors and to highlight the historical significance of the Grande Ballroom itself.
Justin McCormack of Modern Pirate Brands is managing this project for the Kramers. Justin has flown in from Los Angeles with talented muralists Gabriel Gault and Diego Mendoza-Ramos, Gabe and Diego have been painting the project in partnership with local sign artist Zak Warmann.
The Friends of the Grande's Leo Early coordinated Jail Guitar Doors' proposal with the current owners of the Ballroom, Chapel Hill Missionary Baptist Church. The Friends of the Grande are working with the church to assess and position the Grande for potential redevelopment. The property is awaiting final approval from the National Parks Service for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, The mural "facelift" will be a tremendous improvement in the look of the area and its positive message shall also serve to focus attention on the challenges of the building and the neighborhood.
All of this attention comes at a significant moment in time. Over Halloween weekend in 1968 the MC5 recorded their debut album live at the Grande Ballroom. On that LP's 50th year anniversary, Wayne Kramer is again performing the MC5 canon in Detroit as part of the MC50th tour. The Kramers' mural gift is expected to be completed by the turn of the month.
Much thanks to Wayne and Margaret Saadi Kramer, Chapel Hill Missionary Baptist Church – Rev. R. Lamont Smith Pastor, Deborah East, Deacon Clarence Hudson, Justin McCormack, Gabriel Gault, Diego Mendoza-Ramos, and Zak Warmann.
The nomination of the Grande Ballroom to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) has been sent off to the National Parks Service in Washington, D.C. for final review and certification.
Thursday September 13th the City of Detroit Historic District Advisory Board (HDAB) approved and recommended the Grande to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
Friday September 14th Leo Early, representing the Friends of The Grande presented the nomination at the SHPO review board meeting. Public comment was received and a record number of letters and emails were summarized.
The SHPO board approved the Grande Ballroom at the local level of significance and has recommended the property to the NRHP for listing.
The final step is for the National Park Service to review the recommended nomination documents. Although the NPS reserves the right to request revision, it is unusual that they do. Certification and listing typically is accomplished within 45 days.

Grande Ballroom opens October 27,1928!
In researching the book The Grande Ballroom – Detroit's Rock n' Roll Palace I was only able to speculate, not confirm the official opening date of the Grande Ballroom operation. Thanks to research performed for the nomination to list the Grande on the National Register of Historic Places, the opening dates have been established.
I was aware that A.E. Burns held their retail grand opening the weekend of October 19th and 20th 1928. However, it was formerly only assumed that the weekend before Halloween would be ideal for a public opening of the dance operation.
Tiny ads that ran in the Detroit Free Press that week confirm a PUBLIC dance "Grand Opening" Saturday October 27th with "The Victors" dance band. The Victors enjoyed their booking well into the month of November that year.
A large banner from the September 11, 1928 Grande construction photograph boasted that the "First dance to be held at the new ballroom.." was to be private, for the Geo. Monaghan Knights of Columbus. This dance was mentioned the following month in the Free Press.
It also turns out, that same week in 1928 there was a bit of a transportation crisis in Detroit. By court order, "Jitneys" (short framed buses) had been banned from city streets and there was tremendous pressure on the streetcars. Even in 1928 not everyone owned a car. So chances were if you were going out dancing at that new ballroom, you were going by streetcar!

The "Godfather of British Blues," John Mayall, and his Bluesbreakers had been booked for a three-day run at the Grande starting on October 11, 1968. Mayall had been mentor and bandleader to a number of young British guitar upstarts. These had included Eric Clapton, Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) and his most recent hire, nineteen-year-old Mick Taylor.
Clapton and British super group Cream were in the middle their farewell tour, a nineteen-venue, month-long concert sequence with a stop in Detroit on October 12. The band's career had skyrocketed to dizzying heights since its first appearance at the Grande one year prior. It was so successful that the BBC reported in 1968 that the group had earned more than the "entire British government's subsidy to the arts." The band's July 1968 Polydor release Wheels of Fire was the world's first double LP ever to go platinum. Cream virtually filled the fifteen-thousand-seat Olympia Stadium that Saturday. The group's unprecedented popularity raised its Detroit guarantee to $22,000, plus 60 percent of the gross over $40,000. Potential profits and attendance were roughly ten times what the Grande's 1,500-person capacity could offer.
Touring America and playing ballrooms just like the Grande allowed Cream to build its American fan base. Clapton's encore that night at the Grande, although likely orchestrated by Russ Gibb, was perhaps both a thank-you and a validation of the building's role in Cream's success. The group played its final concerts together at London's Royal Albert Hall on November 25–26, 1968.

Project On Customer service and credit appraisal procedure of ONE BANK LIMITED PREPARED FOR MR. TOHIDUL ALAM COURSE TEACHER OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTION NAME # ID NO # Mohsina Rahman 200110397 BATCH # 11TH CAMPUS # DHANMONDI BBA. Northern University of Bangladesh. Acknowledgment Today, private commercial banks are facing a lot of competition in the Bangladeshi banking industry. Therefore the banks are emphasizing on the customer services in achieving their goal. And the most important task of a bank is to provide loan to such a customer who will recover the loan successfully.
As a commercial bank works on other funds, it must take special care before following borrowers to have funds. All the steps taken by commercial banks at the time of allowing loans are known as "Credit Policies" of banks. These steps help the bankers to ensure security of invested funds, create hindrances for borrowers. On the other hand too liberal policy will increase insecurity of invested fund. For the preparation of this pre-internship report, we were grateful to our honorable "course teacher" Mr. Md. Touhidul Alam Professor of Financial Institution for completing our pre-internship program in "One Bank limited.

Good loan, credit or advance is the most profitable asset for a bank. The largest portion of the operating income is derived from lending.

Among these activities credit division is the core portion for any commercial bank. Most of the profits of a commercial bank come from credit.

These principles followed through in the head office credit division as well as in the branch level. The principles of lending, approval, monitoring and control need to adopt on the basis with the global operational objectives and business strategies of the bank. The bank needed to consider the market to provide suitable credit services because there is chance to have competition and win over the market.

All credit extension must need to comply with the requirements of the bank's "Memorandum and Articles of association, act 1991 as amended from time to time, Bangladesh Bank's instruction, applicable rules and regulations. The authority structure for extension of credits should enable effective adoption to changes in the economic, technological, regulatory and competitive environment within which the bank operates. Performance: Loan administration should contribute; within define risk limitation, to the bank's achievement of profitable growth and superior return on the bank's capital.
Advance of the credit should focus on the basis of the total yield for each relationship with customer through transactions should also be profitable. Credit objective extended for the best use to maximize bank's profit as well as economic growth of the country. But lending decision should be made mainly considering the borrower's ability to repay. Loan pricing: The loan price or interest on various lending categories will depend on the level of risk and type of security offered. The rate of interest reflects of risk in the transaction. The higher the risk, the higher would be the interest rate.

Collaterals: It needs to consider that the value of the collaterals and the maximum amount of loan can be given against this. The validity and legality of the collaterals are another concerning matter of selecting the borrower. 2. Character: In order to have select of the borrowers of loan, bank should judge the intension of the borrowers whether he will repay the loan. 3. Capacity: It refers to the borrower's capabilities of using the amount of loan perfectly thereby repay the loan with least cost. . Capital: The banker must required to judge the financial strength of the individual or corporation that it can handle any uncertain situation as well as repaying lending. But it can be done to a little extent through analyzing the following items_ Loan application: It is the formal format of request letter represents the demand and cause of money. The type and amount of money that required is described here. Financial statements: While to apply for the credit the business firm needs to submit previous financial statements of several accounting periods to the bank.
These statements help the banker to have some general assumptions about the business firm. Study of account: In order to have a better idea about the borrower the banker could make a study of its bank account. He can check the amount of money transferred to the account over months through several accounting period. Market reputation: The bank can study the firm's position and reputation to have the real estimation of the firm. It may differ the firm reputation with the actual position of the firm due to unawareness about the business.
Project proposal: Banker can have an evaluation about the borrower through the project proposal. A project proposal includes the previous position of the firm, future forecasting, financial statements, and commercial –technical – organizational – financial feasibility. Thereby the project proposal describes an estimated evaluation of the project and the risks related with this project.

Substandard: Loans would tend to reflect a borrower with he following things_ •Unfavorable regulatory, political or market environment •Balance sheet declining •Qualified auditor's opinion •Debt restructuring problems Loans would have the foregoing characteristics but even more adverse conditions would exist_ •Uncertain collateral coverage •Consistent failure of borrower to meet commitments The bank's actions would then be confided to filling suits against the borrower / guarantor and quantifying the security and collateral shortfall vis-a-vis the borrower's outstanding and the bank's costs. It is this shortfall, which will determine the ultimate loss to the bank.

About Arts Outreach
Arts Outreach is a nonprofit community arts organization based in the Santa Ynez Valley. Recently celebrating our 35th anniversary, we began in 1980 with five volunteer artists as an arts-in-schools program, placing artists in the classrooms to teach and perform. Today, Arts Outreach has grown into a collaboration of over 70 talented and professional artists. Our mission of promoting the visual, literary and musical arts in the Santa Ynez and Los Alamos Valleys has grown stronger than ever with the help and support of the community, teachers, principals, and superintendents.
At first we reached 150 youngsters. Now, Arts Outreach serves over three thousand plus students along with Santa Barbara County residents of all ages, producing events in unique rural settings. We have held jazz cabarets in delicatessens, concerts in vineyards, mountaintops, and churches.
Our audience and programs continue to reach out with events such as music concerts, "Real Men Cook", and APPLAUSE, a Young Artists Program. We also offer after-school arts classes, a youth Glee program, and an Elder Arts program which serves seniors year round.

Q: Can a single electron slide down a smooth glass incline plane? It is said that there are detectors that can detect the impact of a single charged particle in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) that do not rely in the conversion of electrons into photons. In this manner, a single electron seem to act as a solid particle.
Assume we have a smooth glass incline plane in a vacuum shielded from all electrical fields. Electrons are emitted one at a time from a weak beta-decay source. Let's assume one such electrons falls on the glass inclined plane. Can this electron slide down the plane under its own weight.

A: I can understand why someone might ponder this. The key is to recognize that sliding is a classical phenomenon of macroscopic objects, and electrons belong to a completely different regime. So no, an electron cannot "slide" down a glass plane.
Glass is made of atoms held in a (more-or-less) rigid structure. These atoms have positively charged nuclei and negatively charged electron orbitals surrounding them. At the atomic scale, the electric potentials in a solid-state medium are enormously complex, especially for an amorphous material. Moreover, surfaces have the added complexity of dangling bonds and further defects.
If an electron is magically placed with no velocity in "contact" with an inclined glass plane, it will experience the complex electrical environment of the surface in addition to gravity. But also, it will itself distort the orbitals with which it interacts. Overall, the gravitational potential will be totally insignificant compared to the electrical potentials.
The only way one I could imagine anything remotely resembling sliding would be a for a completely contrived and unphysical situation, where the electrical forces just perfectly balance out such that the minuscule gravitational force would play a role. And furthermore, it wouldn't be "sliding" but more like "hopping" from one lattice position to the next.

To truly understand an exclusive South Bay estate like 941 Via Nogales is to experience it. Mere photos do not sufficiently express the sheer grandness of its rooms, nor its abundance of heavenly views. A home like this must be felt; look out over the vast Pacific, the white water vistas of the entire Queen's Necklace and over downtown Los Angeles, and one is swept away.
"Meticulous attention to detail, scale and volume, have created this timeless masterpiece," explains Chris Adlam of Vista Sotheby's International Realty.
The magnificent showpiece awaits a charmed individual to match its refined elegance and stateliness. While its incredible volume may at first glance make the home appear almost museum-like, once inside, it is welcoming and summons scenes of a life shared with friends, family, and colleagues. Beyond this harmonious feeling, the home inspires with insurmountable quality from design to construction.
Notably, the estate was conceived by developer Subir Chowdhury, a consultant, and author known as the "quality expert" according to the New York Times. He has written 15 books, many of which have saved Fortune 500 companies billions of dollars with his best business practices and philosophies.
Well, warranted are his honoraries, as the quality in the home expresses a perfect state of craftsmanship, architectural design, and spatial nature. Perched atop Palos Verdes Estates, along a lushly landscaped street of properties worth millions, this modern masterpiece is discreetly tucked into the hillside.
Protected by a lovely slate roof and trimmed with copper rain gutters and mahogany eaves, the home is expansive; at just over 7,100 square feet, there is tremendous scale and openness via a flowing layout.
One easily envisions the ultimate charity event held here. From the music room, where guests can sip cocktails to the sounds of a pianist, to the formal living room, where a party can move about the graceful sitting areas of the home, through to the gorgeous dining room with built-in buffets providing ample storage, to the family room, then on to the expansive balcony overlooking the Pacific.
Throughout the home are soaring, architecturally detailed ceilings dotted with skylights, with the centrally located, light-filled atrium creating a dramatic ambiance. The walls are swathed in black iron windows and glass doors while the entire back of the home on both levels are trimmed in massive Fleetwood glass doors that open up its entirety to gorgeous vistas.
Both feature tremendous balconies with awe-inspiring views of the ocean, neighboring trees and pretty landscapes. Upper and lower balconies alike have room for outdoor dining and living areas, and also include built-in barbecues, refrigerators and a cooking prep area.
On the lower balcony is the pristine infinity pool that appears to spill off into the sea. "The striking views across the infinity pool span up the coastline, and include city lights, as well as from Malibu and beyond," says Adlam. A few steps down from the lower balcony one can cozy by the firepit on cool nights while children run and play on the grassy lawn further below.
On the top floor, the state-of-the-art chef's kitchen is well planned and includes every convenience, from an oversized Thermador range with grill and griddle to refrigerated Sub-Zero drawers and multiple dishwashers. Uniquely, and conveniently for the tidy entertainer feeding hungry guests at the eat-in bar, the kitchen has an additional cleaning area and dishwasher at the adjacent marble-topped wet bar. Here, effortlessly beautiful statuary marble countertops are complemented by warm wood-grained cabinets throughout.
One descends the modern stairwell and arrives at an impressive foyer; this center space connects the downstairs bedrooms and common areas. Just across is the 500-plus bottle wine cellar that looks like a work of art (or a display in a Michael Mina restaurant), which is conveniently located near the eight-person home theater. There are four bedrooms on this level as well as the master suite.
The en-suite bedrooms all have clean lines, high ceilings, and iron casement windows. Each bath is individually designed with fresh tile patterns blending glass tiles, marble, concrete, and unique light fixtures. The serene master suite, meanwhile, includes one of the five sleek modern fireplaces in the home, with the one here designed in rough-cut limestone.
The space is comprised of a large comfortable living space with two sets of Fleetwood glass doors that open to the balcony, which is just steps to the hot tub and infinity pool. The master bath is rich in design with floor-to-ceiling, marble-framed vanities and floors, self-cleaning his-and-hers toilets, and a luxurious steam shower and jetted tub. Completing the master suite is a large closet with a plethora of built-ins for two.
Loaded with every au courant amenity one could possibly wish for, this smart home is controlled by a savant system by Crestron and includes a residential elevator as well as a three-car garage. Meticulously detailed, the surrounding landscapes, stone retainer walls and modern gates provide privacy while beautifully blending with flora and fauna.

Home/News/Westcoast to push into digital camera market
Distributor unveils plans for dedicated digital camera division
Westcoast to push into digital camera market
18th September 2009	News
PCR can exclusively reveal that Westcoast has plans to launch a digital cameras division at the beginning of October.
Commercial director Andy Dow said that with so many new products in the pipeline from vendors, such as digital photo frames, cameras, camcorders and accessories, the company had seen a need to collate the brands under one dedicated division.
"We're really in a position where we can category manage and supply a collection of brands to retail," Dow stated. "We now have six or seven camera brands, from professional DSLRs through to consumer focused devices including frames and displays, that we can bring together to offer a strong retail category to meet the needs of a very wide range of retailers."
Westcoast has been busy in the creation of the new division, which is due to start operations from October 1st. It will feature the separate sales teams for small and mass retailers that Westcoast customers are familiar with, as well as dedicated product support and product management around the camera section.
It is hoped that the move will enable the company to reach beyond its traditional retail base and in to the dedicated digital camera retail market. At this time the division has signed up a number of key vendors, such as Canon, Samsung, Toshiba, Kodak and General Imaging among others, with more currently in negotiation.
"I'm quite excited actually," enthused Dow. "It's such a growing market and such a high value market, especially for Christmas, that it seems the right way to go. Not just to offer a camera or two, but once we're finished we'll stock cameras that cover 60 to 70 per cent of the market, so we'll really be able to offer the retailer what they need and become the first port of call in this sector."

Update: We're doing another pass of the cleaning, so tonight's classes are cancelled as well. See you tomorrow!
The clean-up effort is taking a bit more time than expected, so we'll cancel the noon class as well.
For now, the evening classes are still on, but we'll update if anything changes.

If the Final Four Teams were Popular TV Shows, Which Would They Be?
Matt Craig April 2, 2015 1 Comment
During the month of March, my television and the TV's of most of America are going to be turned to college basketball. That's just how it is, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The day the tournament started and I overheard two sorority girls (who by the looks of it were not sports junkies) talking about a potential Ohio St-Arizona second round matchup in the cafeteria line was one of the happiest of my life.
But if there's one thing that young Americans like more than wasting time watching basketball, it's wasting time watching Netflix. I have never been an appointment television guy (other than sports), and had never followed a show before Netflix, but now I have binge-watched more complete shows all the way through than I'd care to admit (double digits).
And spring is the peak time of year for excellent television, giving us new seasons to the shows we have been addicted to for years. So why not combine these two world-enhancing pastimes on the eve of the Final Four in Indianapolis, the pinnacle of the sport?
WARNING: SPOILERS. BIG TIME. IT'S YOUR FAULT, YOU SHOULD'VE WATCHED THESE SHOWS.
Kentucky: Breaking Bad
I dare you to try and have a conversation with someone about Netflix without either of you mentioning Breaking Bad. I dare you to try and have a conversation with someone about college basketball without either of you mentioning Kentucky. It's undoubtedly the most newsworthy, if-not-popular, show in Netflix's lineup, and most people would tell you it's the best by far. The same sentence applies to the Wildcats.
There are episodes however, like an entire episode dedicated to a fly in the laboratory (gonna get flame comments about how it was symbolic, stop it I know, that doesn't make it any less boring), where doubts creep into one's mind, "is this show over rated? Is it really as good as everyone says?" but you're afraid to say something because all of your friends will yell at you. And then you get moments like Walt running over the dudes who Jessie was about to shoot, where you just kneel at the altar of Breaking Bad and bow at how awesome it is.
In the same way, Kentucky has had a lot of games and moments where those thoughts come up, "this team sure doesn't look good enough to go undefeated" or "they have had some very lucky breaks in 50/50 games," no matter how often ESPN shovels their propaganda down our throats. Ol' Miss, Texas A&M, LSU, Florida, Georgia.
But you quickly forget all of those when you see games like UCLA or West Virginia. In those games they are so impressive and dominant that you immediately forget any doubts and hand them the championship trophy prematurely (just take it, take it, you deserve it).
Calipari is obviously Walter White. Everyone on the outside sees an innocent and brilliant chemistry teacher. But hmmm something makes you wonder when a suburban car wash is turning out millions of dollars per year. Calipari went to the Final Four with UMass, erased from the history books. Calipari went to the Final Four with Memphis, erased from the history books. Those were the moments when Heisenberg struck (for those unfamiliar with the show, first of all shame on you, but Heisenberg is Walter White's alter ego for when he goes into bad-guy mode).
Wille Cauley-Stein is Jessie Pinkman. Think about it. Walt tried to bury Jessie, and despite his repeated efforts to hold him back, Jessie was a survivor and much smarter than Walt gave him credit for. Cal wrote off Cauley-Stein (can I start the nickname WCS? Probably not, it's not even catchy), and to be honest I don't think he was expecting much from the 7 foot wide receiver.
He was recruited in that 2012 class of freshmen (who had to follow up the Davis/Gilchrist/Teague class) that produced Cal's worst year at UK (first round NIT loss to Robert Morris), and undoubtedly Calipari was looking to was his hands clean of those players, bringing in what many claimed to be the best class since the Fab Five in 2013. Some called it the "best ever," and it included 6 fresh faces who were practically handed starting jobs on a silver platter (WCS's included).
That didn't stop Jessie from cooking meth so pure that many people thought it had to be Heisenberg's. Similarly, Cauley-Stein fought through and has become the most NBA ready prospect on Kentucky's entire roster (there I said it, whew). His ability to guard 1 through the 5 and protect the rim at an elite level is something that every team is craving.
Karl Anthony Towns is Hank because he's incredibly effective but hard to root for, Devin Booker is Mike because he gets no credit for being one of the best characters, the Harrison twins are like Skylar and Marie in that I hate them and they are mostly useless except that they come up clutch in some big moments, and Dakari Johnson is like Huell…because well…
Michigan State: House of Cards
Both are the absolute favorites of educated (and maybe older?) white people around the country, who care more about fundamentals and cerebral play than flashy alley oops. Let's be honest, the first season of House of Cards was pretty meh, in that it was decent and worthy to be on Netflix but far from being wildly popular. Then there was a certain moment in episode 1 of season two (don't want to spoil it but it involves a train…) which was the single biggest "hook" moments in Netflix history. As horrified as everyone was when they watched that shocking and extreme moment, that was the moment where we were all hooked on the show and had to watch every episode.
I was at the Champions Classic, and I can tell you that the early part of Michigan State's season was meh. Sure they belonged in big games, but they really didn't have the firepower to do anything this year. Then when Denzel Valentine hit that game winning three on Valentine's day, suddenly the Spartans were relevant. They had beaten a top 25 team and suddenly everyone remembered that Izzo coached this team and that they were going to be tough in the post season.
Where would the House of Cards show be if Kevin Spacey didn't play Frank Underwood? Would anyone watch it? Would it be any good? No and no. The same can be said for Izzo. Sure there are some good pieces surrounding Spacey/Izzo, with Trice, Valentine, and Dawson (Robin Wright, Michael Kelly, Kate Mara), but without one of the best in the business at the helm then there is no show.
So Izzo is Frank Underwood, brilliant and always coming out on top. Travis Trice is like Peter Russo, a guy that really wants to be a macho man and a hero but isn't ready for the role (hopefully he doesn't end the same way). Denzel Valentine is like Claire Underwood, beloved by the public but I feel like he's ambitious enough that he kind of wants people to to give him the credit for the tournament run instead of Izzo.
Brandon Dawson is like Doug Stamper or Remy Danton (was going to say Remy before realizing that it may look like a race thing), because he's just a straight soldier who goes to work every game and doesn't need the credit (can you believe Dawson is only 6'6? I still can't, he's too much of a beast).
We can all see three of the four Final Four teams winning this thing, but can you imagine the reaction if Michigan State somehow wins it all? Tom Izzo walks slowly to half court (like Frank when he finally reaches the oval office) and…..
Duke: Friends
We can all admit that Friends was a really good and really successful show, but in the back of our minds we are kind of mad that it is still relevant and popular on both TV and Netflix. And yet, without fail, in every friend group there is one guy or girl who is just an absolutely huge fan and has seen every episode.
The same can be said for Duke. Sure we respect them and can't deny that they are one of the most successful and consistent programs in college basketball, but at the same time it's kind of annoying that they are so good every single year.
Justise Winslow (yeah it's spelled with an "s" not a "c" despite the fact that it's misspelled 99% of the time) is like Chandler, who can be awesome sometimes but is neurotic and can psych himself out when things aren't going his way. This applies to Winslow's jump shot, which can either be money (see last 3 tournament games) or also absolutely awful. When you watch Duke this weekend, look and see if Winslow hits his first shot, because it will determine whether he is going to have a good shooting game or not. In the Utah game he hit a three after a whistle that set him off (I'm all for the guys who jump up and goal tend a shot after the whistle).
Tyus Jones is like Joey because no matter what he does we give him the benefit of the doubt, and we love him. The "we" in this case can definitely be the refs, because I have never seen a player who gets more calls than Tyus Jones, it's honestly ridiculous.
Okafor is like Rachel, the main reason being that the only reason most people are still watching the show is because a young Jennifer Aniston is HOT. Same reason people like watching Duke, not because Okafor is hot (far from it) but because he's really really good and is talked about as being the No. 1 pick.
Wisconsin: Turn: Washington's Spies
This is a bit of a homer pick. I love Turn and I really just want more people to watch it and like it the way I do. Oh wait, that's how I feel about Wisconsin as well! Wisconsin is SO GOOD, and so talented, how can they possibly be under rated? They have two first round draft picks and maybe a third guy who is second round! People see them as "team of guys who aren't great individually but play like a team," but other than Kentucky and Duke this team has more studs than anyone!
Abraham Woodhull is an American hero, just like Sam Dekker will be if he leads Wisconsin to a title. You're talking about a guy who was Mr. Wisconsin in high school and hit a game winning shot in his high school state championship game, then went to the in state school and now has led his state university to a Final Four (basically the same resume as one Mr. Gordon Hayward of Butler in 2010, and think about how America thinks of him).
Frank Kaminsky is like Ben Talmadge, the reliable "mainstream" guy who the enemy knows about and prepares to face, Bronson Koenig is Caleb Brewster the crazy wildcard, and Bo Ryan is just like Judge Richard Woodhull with his utter dedication to the letter of the law and order.
Don't sleep on Wisconsin, because it has a chance to take on Kentucky beat them by just being better which is something that very few teams can say. Season 2 of Turn begins on April 13th, and it has a chance to beat out Breaking Bad as the best show on Netflix before it's all said and done.
(P.S. Wisconsin is my pick to win it all..) And look at this inside look at season 2 of Turn and tell me it doesn't look amazing.
Arizona as Game of Thrones aka "that one show that everyone says is really good but most people have never actually seen it because it's on HBO." Wildcats were really really good, but not enough people got to see them because they were on the west coast and tipped at like midnight on the east coast. Only the nerds (like me) watch Game of Thrones religiously and tell everyone how good it is, and only basketball nerds and analysts (like me) watched a lot of Arizona and tried to tell everyone how good they were.
Gonzaga as The Office mostly because the employees of a paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania are almost all white, plus Gonzaga had a ton of interesting characters that were kind of out-there.
Louisville as Sons of Anarchy because I wouldn't want to see either group in a dark alley…
Notre Dame as Better Caul Saul because it will never get enough credit for being really good, because it walks in the shadow of Breaking Bad aka Kentucky.

Q: Universal converter to PDF I have a thousand of documents.
The formats of them are as following:
"xls, xlsx, csv, ppt, pptx, doc, docx, txt"
Is there any library that can do this job? I have found one called PDFTron, but seems it needs license.
Here is my sample code that will copy files first and then convert non-PDFs
import os
import shutil

src = ".../srcpaths"
dst = ".../dstpaths"
ext = ['xls', 'xlsx', 'csv', 'ppt', 'pptx', 'doc', 'docx', 'txt', 'pdf']

for root, subfolders, filenames in os.walk(src):               # for all folders and files
    for filename in filenames:                                 # for all names
        if os.path.splitext(filename)[1] in ext:
            shutil.copy2(os.path.join(root, filename), os.path.join(dst, filename))  # cope files with its path(root)

def ConvertToPDF(ext):
    ########converter code#####

ConvertToPDF('.xls')
ConvertToPDF('.xlsx')
ConvertToPDF('.csv')
ConvertToPDF('.ppt')
ConvertToPDF('.pptx')
ConvertToPDF('.doc')
ConvertToPDF('.docx')
ConvertToPDF('.txt')

A: No.  There is no universal ConvertToPDF library.  But you might get reasonable results with pandoc.  I very much doubt you'll find a python library to do it, however.


CALIFORNIA-COOL HOME IN SANTA MONICA.
While De Bastiani's strategy for the interior was definitely colorful and somewhat casual, one of his first gestures was to highlight some of the home's more classic architectural details, opting to paint the trim in the public rooms a light gray. "It helped everything sort of pop," says the designer. Against that neutral backdrop, he brought in blue and green with touches of yellow. That cheerful palette is established early on: The front door is painted a teal shade and the patterned carpet in the foyer features a similar hue. "It gives a nod to being on the water," he notes. A sunny but understated wallcovering brings in texture, depth and richness, while a black-and-white abstract painting—perched above a console with an oar-shaped base that imparts a nautical vibe—signals a departure from any rigid adherence to tradition. "It's a little slice of what the rest of the house is going to look like," shares De Bastiani.
In the living room, just off the entry, the designer maintained the sand, sea and sky theme, beginning with the eye-catching rug and continuing with the tailored furnishings. He incorporated chairs with a maritime feel, while lamps and midcentury pottery contribute a welcoming warmth. "It gives soul to the room," says De Bastiani, adding, "They wanted a place where they could hang out and have company." The color scheme extends to the adjacent dining room, but the designer painted it gray to give it a distinctive ambience. "The gray makes the whole room seem wainscoted, but it's not," he says. "It's different enough from the living room, but we used the same curtains to tie it together." The easygoing atmosphere of the room means it gets used far beyond the usual special occasions and holidays. "I'm fortunate that my husband is a fabulous cook," says the wife, "so we really love having people over." And with a De Bastiani-designed table that extends up to 10 feet, it's easy for the couple to host a 10-person dinner party.


The Directorate of State Archives, the official custodian of all non-current records of the government is a specialized wing of the Higher Education Department, Government of West Bengal. It is the oldest repository of pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial records and its collection grows in bulk as well as in richness with time. The holdings of State Archives are now dispersed in three different wings in two buildings. The Historical and Current Sections located at 6 Bhawani Dutta Lane, Kolkata-700073, deal with the records from 1758 till post 1947. The New Functional Building at 43 Shakespeare Sarani, Kolkata-700017, has in its custody, the Intelligence Branch, Public Works Department and Chancellors' Secretariat records. Apart from the general record series, State Archives possesses special type of records which include old maps, Glass and Film negatives and Photographic prints of intercepted letters, articles and photographs of the freedom fighters.

Q: Drawing an animation using an image sequence and arrays? As a not so experienced programmer like you wonderful superheroes of the Stack, I am pulling my hair out of something I believe might be incredibly simple.
My goal is to have an animated background for the title screen of a game I'm creating. (Using Slick2D)
Like how Minecraft has an animated background on their title screen.
After searching for answers I have been trying to use this one method somebody suggested on a forum.
However I can not seem to grasp it.
Here's the code:
package com.polython.game;

import org.lwjgl.input.Mouse;
import org.newdawn.slick.GameContainer;
import org.newdawn.slick.Graphics;
import org.newdawn.slick.Image;
import org.newdawn.slick.SlickException;
import org.newdawn.slick.state.BasicGameState;
import org.newdawn.slick.state.StateBasedGame;

public class Menu extends BasicGameState{
    Image[] bg;
    Image logo;

    public Menu(int State){}

    public void init(GameContainer gc, StateBasedGame sbg) throws SlickException{
        //Bit of code that generates a .png sequence.
        //A.K.A. The magic of the Main Menu.

        final int bgFrames = 251;

        Image[] bg = new Image[bgFrames];
        String fileLocation = new String();
        for (int i = 1; i < bgFrames; i++){
            fileLocation = "res/img/bg/" + i + ".png";
            bg[i] = new Image(fileLocation);
        }
    }

    public void render(GameContainer gc, StateBasedGame sbg, Graphics g) throws SlickException {
        logo.draw(145, 25, .5f); //Centering the logo
        g.drawRect(100, 100, 200, 50);
        g.drawString("Play", 180, 115);
    }

    public void update(GameContainer gc, StateBasedGame sbg, int delta) throws SlickException {
        int posX = Mouse.getX();
        int posY = Mouse.getY();

        //Not sure why this is here so early.
        if((posX > 100 && posX<311) && (posY > 209 && posY < 260)){
            if(Mouse.isButtonDown(0)){
                sbg.enterState(1);
            }
        }
    }
    public int getID(){
        return 0;
    }
}

The pictures are all in "/res/img/bg" from 1.png to 250.png
The error I get commonly goes like this:

I hope I can get some help soon, It'd be appreciated :)
Thanks guys,
-First Timer

A: First of all, I suggest you use and ArrayList instead. Plus it looks like the error is coming from the g.drawString(). How about try to remove that line and seeing if that works, if it does then the reason is because the X, and Y is making the string draw outside the JFrame. This is a stupid thing, but I always get errors from those. And that is the main problem, because you are not even drawing the bg[] images. Also you are creating another Image[] bg variable inside the init() method. That isn't necessary. First create private variables outside the methods.
private static List<BufferedImage> bg = new ArrayList<BufferedImage>();
private static Integer time = 0;

ArrayList's are better. Then inside the init() method, make it where it adds the images to the list.
public void init() {
    Integer max = 250;
    for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) {
        try {
            bg.add(ImageIO.read(new File("res/img/bg/" + i + ".png")));
        catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

then inside of your render() method do this
public void render(Graphics g) {
    Graphics2D g2;
    if (g instanceof Graphics2D) {
        g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
    }
    // The stuff you already had
    g.drawImage(g.get(time), X, Y, null);
}

then inside of your update() method make it where the time is added up.
public void update() {
    if (time < bg.size()) {
        time++;
    }
    else {
        time = 0;
    }
}

then this should create the animation. Now if you didn't setup a FPS system, then in your main class file that is calling the update(), and render() methods, after it type
try {
    Thread.sleep(1000/FPS);
catch (Exception e) {}

you should put FPS as 60. Then this should work. If there is a problem, sorry cause I just typed the codes without Eclipse. I just did this from memory cause I always code these types of programs/games.

A: It was all a matter of missing certain things that needed to be declared, it is now working and looks beautiful!
