Japanese Music: Kitaro - Sand
Kitarō taught himself how to play guitar. He says of teaching himself, "I never had education in music, I just learned to trust my ears and my feelings." He gives credit for his creations to a power beyond himself. "This music is not from my mind," he said. "It is from heaven, going through my body and out my fingers through composing. Sometimes I wonder. I never practice. I don't read or write music, but my fingers move. I wonder, 'Who's song is this?' I write my songs, but they are not my songs.

Cajon Classic Cruise Off-Road Madness
Rebecca Jefferis Williamson
Off-Road Madness vehicles at El Cajon's Cajon Classic Cruise show on July 13 provided plenty of ideas for the perfect off road vehicle enthusiasts. Rock crawlers, desert buggies, and off road trucks looked ready for parades, the desert landscape or anywhere else they wanted to go.
After all, off road vehicles can go where other vehicles cannot to get you on your walking path. And the El Cajon Business Partners' largest car show of the year was well worth the walk as it closed down Main Street for this yearly event as thousands gathered to see the best off-roaders in East County and beyond.
"This is our biggest car show of the season with an estimated attendance of over 10,000 people" said Alexis Frost, event coordinator for the Downtown El Cajon Business Partners. The Cajon Classic Cruise shows started in April and will continue until October 26 on El Cajon's Main Street from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. every Wednesday.
"We have hundreds of hot rods, off road vehicles like trucks, motorcycles, quads, rock crawlers, jeeps, dune buggies, and cars," said Frost. "It' the longest running car show in Southern California. People come from Arizona, Las Vegas, and Tahoe."
Vincent Davidson, from Spring Valley, said, "East County, as a community, has a desert culture." Deserts, like Ocotillo Wells in San Diego County, are a perfect setting for off-roading. His friend, Kevin Mizicko, from La Mesa, described the Off-Road Madness show as "awesome."
The blue colored grabber, over-the-top Jeep rock crawler owned by Jim Eckis was a labor of love he said and the object of his love had a crowd of admirers around his vehicle parked on El Cajon's Prescott Promenade.
"I've owned it since 1995 and the only original part of the jeep is the body. This is my first show," Eckis said. Ocotillo Wells is one of his favorite areas to off road at.
Off road vehicles with names like Jurassic Park, Border Riders 4 Wheelers, and sponsors like BF Goodrich and McNeil Racing Inc. emblazed the sides of these show cars.
Restaurants like Downtown Café, Nicolosi's, and others like food booths and food trucks were dining and food choices for attendees.
Bob Wampler, staff with the Cajon Classic Cruise show, got the pleasure of notifying Gene Botticelli that he was going to get a trophy for his Ford F350-Super Duty Cab. According to his friend, Kirk Cabral, Botticelli rebuilt the vehicle doing all of his own work. The crowd gathered around his bumblebee colored vehicle even as he was driving it off Main Street to head to the stage to get his trophy.
On July 20 a Jimmie Johnson Tribute is scheduled and July 27 are Custom Creations. Visit www.downtownelcajon.com.

Is society getting dumber by the day? It may not just be your imagination: As Dr. Russell Blaylock, a retired neurosurgeron, posits, the stupidity of the masses may be by design. Through a barrage of toxic chemicals and compounds, Blaylock says the government is purposely trying to dumb-down the masses. A dumber society is more easily controlled, after all.


Cannes Classics is returning to the Olympic Games held in Munich in 1972, with a restored copy of Visions of Eight, the famous documentary that was filmed during the Games by eight major film makers.
It was in 1973, almost a year after the Munich Olympics, that the Festival de Cannes screened Visions of Eight in a world preview. The images of the hostage taking and the assassination of eleven Israeli athletes by a group of Palestinian terrorists during the games were still fresh in the minds of some 850 million television viewers around the world.
It was in this particular context that eight famous directors, including Milos Forman and Claude Lelouch, had chosen to position their cameras close to the athletes involved in the Games. The idea was to take a step back from the purely athletic treatment of the event and to blank out its political context, marked by this bloody news story, in order to present eight different points of view on the athletic spirit itself.
Milos Forman, for example, chose to focus on the decathletes, Claude Lelouch on the losers, and Michael Pfleghar on the women. Selected Out of Competition, the documentary is a tribute to the very essence of the Olympic Games. The film met with widespread critical acclaim. Today it is presented in a restored 4K digital copy (Motion Picture Imaging, Burbank & Audio Mechanics).

Found in the depths of YouTube, some kindly fan shot a rather excellent butsukari session during the jungyo sumo PR tour last week. It appears to show Yokozuna Hakuho in an extended butsukari session with rising star Onosho.
Onosho has turned in back to back 10-5 records in his first two tournaments in Makuuchi, and it's clear he is a young man driven to succeed. If you have the patience to watch the whole thing, Hakuho is really working him to exhaustion (the point of butsukari). At the end, its awesome to see Onosho rally and really push with renewed vigor.
Note as Onosho reaches exhaustion and wants to give up, Hakuho first taunts him, then gets the crowd to cheer him on.
For those not used to sumo training, this interaction may seem odd or even somewhat like hazing, which it is not. I also note that Hakuho really seeks out the hard-charging young rikishi who are working to make the best of their sumo career, and works them hard.
My late sister would have called this "an anthropological experience". It's the sort of thing that, when you watch it the first time, you ask yourself "whet the hell did I just watch?".
What it reminded me of is boot camp. "Do that again, private". "Yes, sir!". "Not good enough, give me 20". "Yes, sir!". But while in the military it makes perfect sense to drill respect for rank into what would usually be rebellious teenagers (or in my case, a bunch of self-absorbed university students), it seems to make little sense in the context of individual sports. I mean, it's not as if obeying those senior rikishi is going to save the juniors' asses in money time. In fact, if you learn to fold before a senior when you drill, you may end up yielding bouts to seniors, which means they are learning a habit which they'll have to kick if they want to get anywhere in their profession.
Japanese culture is cursed with deference to hierarchy. I think these drills could be more effective if they dropped the whole "know your place, underling" part of the ceremonies.
Anyway, it seems like each senior has his own style. Kakuryu seems not to like kicking very much. Harumafuji seems to want any part in the "This is my crotch. Respect the crotch" act, and just sends his aite to do the ape walk around the dohyo unaccompanied. But pulling at your aite's chon-mage seems to be a unique Hakuho innovation. Or perhaps he learned it from Asashoryu.
There's lots in sumo that is about having the younger guys show respect for their seniors, but butsukari really isn't about that, at least not in the way you allude to. High-ranking guys like Hakuho don't *have* to spar with the up'n'comers, and when they do it's their choice as to whom to do it with. Onosho is being honoured by getting chosen for such a session, and the only measure of respect he owes to Hakuho in that situation is to not waste the opportunity he's given.
Asashoryu by contrast wasn't known for doing the butsukari thing, preferring instead to deal with guys through "practice bouts", i.e. mostly him tossing them around rather mercilessly. It may not look too different from the outside perspective, but the guys themselves know which approach is about creating a teachable moment and which one was just about intimidation.
I'm not saying it's entirely about humiliation. By the way, boot camp isn't, either. It's about changing people's attitude into something useful and their behavior into something predictable. Though some commanders abuse their power, obviously.
I'm saying that the hierarchy part is built into the system. I watched several of those butsukari sessions already. And actually, that includes one by Asashoryu. The rules of engagement seem to be the same when the butsukari is in front of a show audience and when you are in your own heya. Push the senior all the way, good for you. If you can't go all the way, you get thrown to the ground. And then you may get to do the ape walk for a while. Lie on the ground too long, and you get kicked until you get up. Finally, when you're done, you knock on the senior's chest, and get thrown down one last time. Now, since it's the same for everybody, and all the throws and the kicks are not really vicious, I agree that nobody is being singled out and mistreated. Well, generally speaking. I'd like to hear the apologetics for this one at around 04:59.
The thing is, the whole script is written so as to show who's boss, rather than to make the exercise as efficient as possible. Kakuryu, by the way, seems to do away with much of the inefficiency – many times he doesn't throw the guy down, just calls him back to the starting point. And both Hakuho and Kakuryu seem to be lenient about the required crouch-bow at the end of successful pushes (like Harumafuji makes Terunofuji do in this one).
That doesn't look like a bow to me — that's a squat. It looks a bit like practicing the motion that rikishi sometimes do at the edge of the dohyo to stop their momentum after a successful push-out .
Plausible. But head down, hands in front of face?
I don't think his head is down like a bow — I'd tip my upper body forward when squatting like that too. Terunofuji's hands on Harumafuji's belt or body help to keep T steady during the motion.
After watching it all the way through I note that Terunofuji does the squat after shoving Harumufuji off the dohyo at 7:12.
He makes him do the squat – sometimes without the hands, but mostly with, throughout that session. Take a look at the push after the one you noticed. He succeeds in pushing Harumafuji again after he tells him to complete the move from a lower position. Harumafuji gets outside the tawara, then presses first Terunofuji's head down (to squat), and his shoulders (to get his hands in fronts of his face). Then proceeds.
Thanks for posting that – it is so damn cool to be reminded of a healthy Kakuryu and a healthy Ichinojo. Ah, what could have been!
So I will confess to similar training situations in the USMC during my time with very short hair. That's why (at least to me) I have a totally different reaction to this than my wife does. This video is yet another one of the things that most sumo fans outside of Japan have little or no chance to encounter, and it really gives us a nice insight into both Onosho and Hakuho.
I am greatly impressed that Hakuho takes this much care to train someone like Onosho, and I am equally impressed that Onosho makes the most of it. I think the comments here echo one of my ideas that Onosho, if he can stay healthy, has a chance at going pretty far in sumo.
I read yesterday that Onosho is only the seventh wrestler to win two consecutive double digits upon his Makuuchi debut, and that the other six include names like the first Wakanohana and (the only) Hakuho.
Given what IKSumo cooked up for a banzuke, Aki basho is going to be a awesome test for Onosho. I am planning to follow him closely across the basho, so expect Onosho overload on my posts.
Onosho at M3e is one of my higher-confidence predictions. The slots above that are full, and there are no remotely comparable candidates below.
Very excited we get the official banzuke a week from right about now. I think that Onosho ends up as M3 we are going to see him have some very steep challenges, which will be great.
Nikkan Sports reported that Onosho faced off against Takayasu 7 times in recent training bouts, and won all 7. Even though these were training bouts, you better believe Takayasu did not want to go oh-fer against the young man. To destroy the Ozeki in that fashion is beyond impressive, and I believe we can expect big things from Onosho very, very soon.
I wonder if that was before or after Takayasu complained that he's not getting enough challenge in this tour?
Yeah, thanks for reminding us about that – I saw that too. I think it was actually before, and it was the catalyst for that comment. Truth be told (and we spoke about it early and often here on Tachiai), with Kisenosato in dry dock, Takayasu is going to wither a bit. Much of what he was able to achieve was because he had the great Ozeki to train against with very high intensity and persistence.
It is my opinion that Kisenosato and Takayasu operate as a binary, and with one of them diminished, the other suffers.
So looking at the articles' dates right now, it turns out that Takayasu has been inviting Onosho for serial bouts ever since the tour went through Sendai. So one day it was 10 bouts, the next it was 12 bouts (of which Takayasu won 8), at which point Takayasu made his complaint.
The 7 consecutive wins were when they got to Aomori, which happens to be Onosho's home town and he had the crowd behind him.
I'll be looking for videos of these san-ban matches, as some articles say he won on the Tachiai, which would be impressive against Takayasu, and some say he won with his favorite pushing-and-thrusting technique, which is certainly not what Takayasu is used to.
Anyway, the fact is that Takayasu kept calling him, so he probably sees merit in practicing with him rather than tossing bags of rice. But I can see that Takayasu would like to have some mawashi wrestlers as well. As it is, he's sharpening only half his blade.
I'm not sure I'll ever really get the hang of this, but it looks like Hakuho showed that he had some regard for Onosho by utterly beating the cr*p out of him. And Onosho gained some respect by persevering despite the aforementioned marmalising?
Point 1: Onosho has an exteremely good record in Tokyo tournaments: 13 tournaments, 13 kachi-koshi and a 62% winning record.
I have noticed that some rikishi have certain tournaments that seems to boost their performance. For example – Tochiozan, he has been doing well in Nagoya, and kind of "meh" elsewhere. Here's to hoping that Onosho can come out strong at Aki.


The type of Chinese fried rice you get as a side when you go to your local Chinese restaurant isn't really one of my most favorite things. It's just plain rice. Boring, really, but add some veggies, meat, and a little love, and that rice becomes amazing! I LOVE the rice from Benihana's too – wow, is that a satisfying dish – but the issue is that you can't make that same recipe at home. Sure, do an Internet search and you'll find copy cat recipes, but you can't actually replicate that recipe. Even if that recipe you find is identical to the actual recipe, you'll never get the same heat that those grill tops do at the restaurants, so the recipe will never taste the same as you get at the restaurant.
Perhaps, I'm picky about my recipes and my foods, but getting those same flavors at home are almost impossible.
Research the heck out of how Chinese and Japanese fried rice, of course! Learn the techniques of the perfect rice; the perfect details to an amazing fried rice. Read as many details as you can on what authentic recipes do to make sure the rice comes out perfect. I'm a bit of a data geek and research just about everything, so I'll go ahead and let you know the main things I found to a perfect home fried rice – duck, pork, venison, or whatever other meat you'd like to use.
Your rice has to be made a day ahead of time. Don't make the rice the day of and expect to make a good fried rice. If you stir rice too much, it becomes mushy, because it's sooooo sticky! In the refrigerator overnight, the individual grains of rice become separate – not so sticky – which makes it easier to manipulate with fried rice. Leftover white rice from your local Asian restaurant is perfect for this recipe! I also don't do minute rice; I do the real thing – it's takes less than an hour, not really that painful. I'm not sure if this changes the recipe or not, though.
Shake the rice. When I store rice overnight, I usually put it in an over-sized bowl with a lid, so when I pull it out of the refrigerator, I can easily shake it and make sure all of the rice grains are separated.
Don't plan on cooking everything at the same time. A lot of recipes I see have you cook everything at almost the same time – meat, veggies, and then rice. I prefer to separate it a bit, but in the same pot – so not so many dishes. I'll cook the meat, and then take it out of the pot. Cook veggies, take them out, and then mix rice with sauces before adding everything back in. This helps ensure the rice doesn't become mush.
The pot has to be hot. Whether it be a wok or a dutch oven, the pot has to be HOT! That's what you get at Chinese and Japanese restaurants – a super hot wok or grill. The only way we can even get close to those temperatures at home (without using an outdoor propane/grill system) is to cook in waves (like mentioned above).
Veggies need to be crisp. Asian recipes don't have limp veggies. If you think about it, almost every time your eat good Asian food, the veggies are crisp, yet cooked. Don't overcook your veggies.
It doesn't have to be duck. It can be just about any type of meat you like, just slice it thin and add it to the recipe. The hubby brings home duck all of the time and I've had to teach myself how to introduce it to my dinner dishes – this is one of my favorites. Duck fried rice is a great way to use duck meat and it's super tasty.
Take the rice out of the refrigerator, give it a good shake (in a covered bowl), and let it set at room temperature.
Warm soy sauce, water, mirin, sugar, garlic, and butter until diluted.
Debone the duck and chop all of the meat into thin slices/chunks. If you have skin still on your duck, you can decide to discard it or keep a little in to flavor the meat a bit more.
Heat olive oil in the pot on high heat (we'll be cooking everything on high heat until we mix everything back in) and cook the duck until it's done. If you're not familiar with duck, just make sure to cook like you would beef, for this recipe. Remove the duck, put in a separate container, and set aside.
Add all of the veggies and cook on high for about 8 minutes. 5 minutes seems to be too fast and doesn't get the veggies cooked enough and 10 minutes seems to be just about too long. The best tip I can give you is to taste test and make sure the veggies are still crisp, but done. Also, know that they'll continue cooking after you take them off of the oven. Remove the veggies, put in a separate container, and set aside.
Add about a tablespoon of soy sauce to the bottom of the hot pan. It'll start sizzling. You want it to cook a bit to deepen the flavor, but not necessarily burn, so keep stirring at this point. After about 2 minutes, add in your rice, soy mix (step 2; yet, add a bit at a time to your taste), and mix the ingredients together lightly. We don't want to destroy the rice here; we want to blend the flavors. A wooden spoon or rice fork/spoon works well here. Since we're still cooking on high heat, you need to keep mixing... gently.
Take the pot off of the heat and stir in the scrambled eggs. A lot of people make a well or mix the egg separately from the fried rice recipe, but I just mix it in with the hot rice.
*The amount of veggies are just a suggestion. Add more or less, depending on your taste. Also, try to vary it up between black pepper and white pepper to find what you prefer.

Smith Westerns' "Varsity" strikes a chord with the sad summer bastard in all of us
Matt Wild
In Hear This, A.V. Club writers sing the praises of songs they know well—some inspired by a weekly theme and some not, but always songs worth hearing. This week, with June just heating up, we asked: What song says "summer" to you so far this year?
Ask folks to name their favorite summer jam, and most will come up with something sunny and danceable, or something that involves, I don't know, roasting hot dogs and s'mores. But there's another group of people (one I am a card-carrying member of) who gravitate toward bittersweet, hopelessly romantic summer jams, songs perfect for driving around endlessly at night—windows closed despite the humid air—and bawling your eyes out. Smith Westerns' "Varsity" has been my go-to bummer summer jam so far, a designation I don't see changing any time soon. The final track from the upcoming Soft Will (due out June 25 on Mom + Pop), "Varsity" finds the cruelly young Smith Westerns in full sad bastard mode, invoking a state of mind where you "count the days, count the nights, but don't get by," and where you lament that it's "hard to be alone." Musically, the song and its swelling orchestral vibe is a nice progression from the fuzzed-out sound of the Westerns' 2011 album, Dye It Blonde, and certainly different from the band's—ahem—hotly contested cover of Tom Petty's "American Girl" for A.V. Undercover. I'm long past the point where "summer break" means much of anything, but I suppose "Varsity" reminds me most of long summer high school nights spent cursing the universe while my friends were busy, well, roasting hot dogs and s'mores. Don't get me wrong: I'm all for cheery summer fun, but it's nice to spend some time wallowing in the flip side of the season, counting the days, counting the nights, and barely getting by.

The Lumenline Surface Wall Mount Direct is part of a linear system of LED luminaires that can be ceiling or wall mounted to provide a discreet, flexible solution for architectural and general lighting applications. Featuring second generation LED technology, the luminaires deliver up to 87 lm/W. Available in single units or continuous runs, the system offers a choice of outputs (6W/ft or 12W/ft), distributions, colors, color temperatures and control options. Lit corners and a quick joining system allow uninterrupted lines and shapes to blend seamlessly into the architecture.


The frequency of extreme climate events (e.g., droughts) is expected to change over the next century. Managing forest ecosystems in the face of changing climatic conditions requires we understand interactions between climate and forest dynamics—changes in forest composition, density, size, age, and spatial structure over time. The role of forest dynamics in shaping forest responses to climate extremes is particularly important given forest dynamics can be modified through forest management. Analyses focused on modeling interactions between climate and forest dynamics face a data challenge. Tree rings provide sufficiently long records to model climate effects on growth, but provide little to no information on past forest dynamics. Repeat forest census data—periodic measurements of fixed sample plots—provide detailed measurements of forest growth, mortality, composition, and structure over time, but are rarely of sufficient length or resolution to understand forest responses to climate. We nested a stand-level growth and yield model within a Bayesian state space framework to assimilate tree-ring and repeat forest census data to model forest growth and mortality as a function of climate and forest dynamics. The state space model was applied to data from a long-term red pine thinning experiment in northern Minnesota.
Forest growth and mortality varied over time in relation to forest development. Focusing on the effects of forest dynamics alone, mean mortality (basal area [BA] loss/acre/year) was greatest during the stem exclusion phase of development. Mean forest productivity (BA growth/acre/year) was greatest near the end of the stem exclusion phase as individual trees differentiated in canopy position. Climate data were converted to climatic water deficit, reflecting the interaction between temperature, precipitation, and soil water-holding capacity. Climatic water deficit was associated with reduced tree growth and increased mortality, on average, over the study period (1912-2012). Considering the interactive effects of climate and forest dynamics, climatic water deficit had the greatest effect on growth and mortality during the stem exclusion phase when density and inter-tree competition were high and during the transition to old-growth phase when a number of large diameter trees dominated the forest canopy. Results indicate red pine sensitivity to climatic water deficit may be increased by moderate-intensity thinning treatments that reduce stand density and maintain a uniform distribution of mid-sized canopy trees. Current work is focused on testing the effectiveness of different thinning strategies to reduce red pine sensitivity to climatic water deficit.

Q: How can I regroup multiple tlogRow in talend to one file where I can see all my rows? I am working on a MongoDB database ETL, I need to prosses the data and move it to the PostgreSQL database, I used the tExtractJson in talent to extract all the documents and subdocuments but I am having a problem in regrouping all the rows into one output so that I can load my tables in Postgres DB.
to load only one table I need information from multiple tlogRows
I tried a tmap but it requires a main component and other are lookup one

A: I solved this using a tBufferOutput in the first job, and did the same thing once again on a second job and used a tInputBuffer to recover the result of the first job.

An opposition lawmaker has filed criminal complaints against 21 prosecutors and three judges who refused to process criminal complaints regarding insults and threats made on social media against rights activists, saying there were no grounds for an investigation, the Arti Gerçek news website reported on Friday.
Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu, a human rights activist and lawmaker from the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), filed the complaints with the Board of Judges and Prosecutors (HSK) in Ankara on Friday.
Gergerlioğlu told reporters in front of the Ankara Courthouse that the independence of the judiciary has been completely lost in Turkey and that members of the judiciary are not doing their jobs in cases where human rights activists are subjected to insults, curses and threats on social media.
"When people exercise their freedom of speech and express their views [critical of the government], they are immediately labeled as terrorists and put in jail. But threats against rights activists are not investigated," Gergerlioğlu said.
He said people who are victims of injustice are going to court to seek justice but are denied their rights by prosecutors.
The Turkish judiciary is harshly criticized for being under the absolute control of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and its leader, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, particularly after Erdoğan was granted vast powers under a presidential system of governance that went into effect in 2018.
While government critics face immediate legal action for their criticisms and views about the government and its members, everyday people have a hard time obtaining justice in what many say is Turkey's overly politicized justice system.
Last week the country's main opposition leader, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, warned the country's bureaucrats not to abide by unlawful orders from the ruling party, or risk facing the consequences.
"As of Monday, October 18, you will be held responsible for all the support you give to the unlawful demands of this government. You can't dodge responsibility for unlawful acts, saying, 'I was ordered to do it.' As of Monday, stop doing whatever you are unlawfully ordered to do," Kılıçdaroğlu said in a video on Twitter.
Kılıçdaroğlu's warning to bureaucrats angered the AKP government and Erdoğan, who accused him of urging public officials to resort to disobedience.

Newly-released slot by Rival Gaming, the developer of some of the best online slots, is called Wishing Cup and it is set in the dark tomb of King Tutankhamun where apart from his mummy you will find all of his precious possessions he was buried with: daggers, scarab jewelry, crook and flair, a golden tank, and much more. Rival Gaming has made sure to create a crisp and vibrant theme that will make you feel not only like you are walking through the dark passages of Egyptian tombs, but also like you have been transported through time to meet Anubis, Horus, Osiris and other Egyptian deities.
The game is named after the Pharaoh's chalice, also known as the Wishing Cup. It was considered the symbol of new life and coming back of Tutankhamun from the dead. Inspired by this legend, the developers give a special power to this chalice in the game. When the Wishing Cup appears it releases the ghost of King Tut who covers the reels and transforms the covered positions into Wild symbols. These are pretty handy in a slot game, as you can use them as a trump card instead of any other symbol in the game. However, there are some symbols that cannot be replaced by the Wild, such as Scatters and Bonus symbols.
The image of the pharaoh can grant you unknown treasures through free spins. There are up to 15 Free Spins up for grabs, as long as you land three or more pharaohs on the reels. For 3 faces of the pharaoh you will get 7 free spins, 4 pharaohs will grant you 10 free spins, while 5 will reward 15 Free Spins. To increase your chances of winning King Tut will make the third reel Wild.
Anyone who wishes to see Tutankhamun's tomb must be prepared for surprises and unexpected events. Watch out for the Eye of Horus carved in stone, because it is the sign that you are ready to go to the Secret Passage. Through the secret passage you might meet one of the Gods, who will reward you generously so keep your eyes wide open.
All symbols pay for winning combinations formed from left to right with at least three identical symbols on the paylines. However, top prizes await only those who manage to land five identical images.

Italy is the fourth largest European automotive market after Germany, the UK and France. The Italian automotive industry is primarily concentrated in Torino e in Piemonte: around 50% of the 2,6000 companies (with 170,000 employees) active in Italy, are in fact established here. Piemonte and its capital city Torino, birthplace of Fiat, now FCA after the merging with Chrysler, are indeed not only the core of the national automotive industry, but of the European car and mobility technology. In Piemonte are located the representative, complementary actors of the automotive world: major companies OEMs, SMEs and supply chain, R&D centres and engineering academy. The synergy between all these actors has made a decisive contribution to positioning the region among the leading clusters worldwide in a sector characterized by a high level of innovation and research, like the automotive one: in fact, the technological innovation is subject of constant attention and deeply rooted in the Piemonte engineering culture. Universities and research institutions play a very active role in the overall development and innovation of the industry: from skilled vocational training and niche specialized engineering programs to independent and collaborative research projects, universities are a key component of the industrial sector.
Piemonte's automotive production encompass the entire supply chain from the upstream phases to the final products, offering business and know-how from the concept of the vehicle till its final delivery: project planning, prototyping, styling, robotics and automation, components and mass production, industrialisation of the product and test driving. The tradition of "knowing how to make cars" has always been preserved while being reinterpreted to match changing market and technology conditions. Moreover, the role of machinery industry, R&D and design is strategic at every layer. The strong leadership of Piemonte in robotics and mechatronics has fostered innovation, automation and cost-efficiency throughout the entire supply-chain. Also through the link with leading system and technology providers (often located in the area), the supply chain can offer strong competences on electrical and electronic architectures, including power conversion systems, safe and secure real-time communication systems, advanced human-machine interfaces and remote monitoring systems.
Many famous style studios, design firms designers and innovative concept companies work in Torino and in Piemonte. These professionals are shifting their attention from a pure style research mindset, to the focus of re-designing vehicles also as multimodal and connected platforms able to respond to the requirements of the sharing economy and mobility as a service.
Concept design and advanced design, meaning style but also re-inventing new auto functions and applied technologies, by including connectivity, infotainment and new concept models.
Product engineering, this being a highly technological process in which new materials and new construction technologies are merged to create new architectures for light-weight, recyclable vehicles which are not polluting and which are cheap at the same time, which means they are sustainable and accessible to everyone.
R&D and innovation play an important role: 43.7% of the Torino-Piemonte automotive enterprises invest more than 2% in R&D (31% invest from 2 to 5, 7.7% from 6 to 10, 5% more than 10%) and are responsible for more than 50% of the European patents granted to inventors in Piemonte.
R&D&I activities by companies, University and Politecnico of Torino are overall engaged and dedicated to the development of the future world engines such as: the new generation of diesel engines, to reduce emissions by downsizing the engine mass and weight, while increasing the overall engine performance; evolved electronic systems, to manage and control the engines' activities and performance; hybrid engines, to reduce fuel consumption and to begin promoting among the public the circulation of vehicles that are not dependent only from endothermic engines and to open up the path towards future electric vehicles. Furthermore, Piemonte was the first Italian region to formally establish innovation hubs as new industrial policy tools to support the innovative skills and competitiveness of regional research system players. They support industrial competitiveness and promote the aggregation of small and medium enterprises, large companies and research organizations to share knowledge and make innovative product and service investments converge along common design and development lines.
The region's strong expertise in the field of engines and the approach to sustainable mobility is strengthened by the presence of Fiat PWT, Fiat Research Center and GM Global Propulsion Systems that develop in their research centres based in Torino new generations of engines, with high-performances in terms of sustainability and respect for the new rules on emissions reduction. In addition, more than 350 companies perform activities in the "green tech" field.
The evolution of the mobility sector is aimed to develop new solutions (both for passengers and freight) that can be resource-efficient, climate-and-environmentally-friendly, safe and seamless.
It's possible to find in Piemonte the necessary know-how for electric vehicle integration and all the solutions based on full electrical mobility, encompassing energy harvesting with both on-board and off-board photovoltaic generation.
In addition our local companies are working on innovative smart mobility concepts integrating vehicles and infrastructure through the application of advanced digital technology.
Companies are indeed more and more developing distinctive technologies in the field of connectivity, autonomous driving, sharing mobility, sensor fusion, internet of things, big data systems projecting the whole territory towards new challenges and new consumer markets.
The Bolloré Bluecar is a small four-seat, three-door electric car designed by Pininfarina and manufactured by Cecomp in Bairo, Italy. The car has a 30kWh lithium polymer (LMP) battery, coupled to a supercapacitor, that provides an electric range of 250 km (160 mi) in urban use.
The Charge While Driving Wireless Power Transfer (or Dynamic WPT) solution has been developed by Energy Department at Politecnico di Torino in cooperation with Tecnositaf, SAET, MECT, AMET and other SMEs in Piemonte area. The solution has been realized inside the European Project FABRIC (FP7 n. 605405). The DWPT is under test at Susa (Italy) and is capable to transfer up to 20kW to a Plug-in or Electric Vehicle at 25cm distance while the vehicle is in motion (max speed 130km/h). The system can be easily installed in an existing road or highway as well as be part of a barely new e-road.
Pop.Up Next is the evolution of the first fully electric and zero-emission modular system, designed to help resolve traffic congestions and reflects the philosophy driving Italdesign's 50th anniversary celebrations, anticipating the challenges that the next fifty years will bring. It represents a vision of the potential offered by future technologies, the new concept of transportation and the new solutions for resolving the problems linked to city planning and traffic in large urban centres that are increasingly becoming one of the priority aspects for safeguarding our planet. Next is evidence of the success achieved by Pop.Up over the past year amongst the main players in the transportation world, the municipalities and institutions worldwide.
Pop.Up combines the flexibility of a small two seater ground vehicle with the freedom and speed of a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) air vehicle, thus bridging the automotive and aerospace domains. The core of the product is therefore the intermodality and making it modular.
The Biomethair project, coordinated by FIAT Research Center, originated to develop innovative Technologies dedicated to the best use of methane gas, in order to realize a city car prototype with practically zero impact on the environment. Thanks to the collaboration of 19 partners made up of local firms and the academic world in the Piemontese territory, a prototype vehicle has been developed on the base of the FIAT Panda and an innovative, experimental system for the production of biomethane and biohydrogen.
Thanks to the presence of the Politecnico di Torino, of the University of Torino and of other specialized research centres, Piemonte provides the necessary support to design and R&D activities.
In addition, some of the Interdepartmental Centres @PoliTo can offer a comprehensive, multidisciplinary support for automotive sector, like: CARS (Centre for Automotive Research and Sustainable mobility), Ec-L (Energy center Lab), IAM (Integrated Addtive Manufacturing@PoliTo), J-Tech (Advanced Joining Technology) and PEIC (Power Electronics Innovation Center).
The University of Torino ranks 3rd in scientific research performance among all Italian universities. One of the biggest university in Italy, hosting about 70.000 students, 4.000 staff, 1800 post-graduate and post-doctoral students. Two most relevant distinctive features are: cross-competence approach to research, with multidisciplinary teams from different scientific areas (eg. chemistry, computer science, physics, medicine, mathematics); open access policy to its research instrumentations and labs (eg. use by industrial partners of: advanced microscopies for detection of the finest details of products and the microstructure of materials; High-Performance Computing and cloud engineering infrastructure).

Murakami loves music, any reader of his could tell you as much. Norwegian Wood was named after a Beatles song (albeit one not very well known) and After Dark is framed by a music soundtrack in a brilliant display of atmospheric setting. With this all that love is here. And like all who have a good taste in music, Murakami's is eclectic and very well considered. I found myself looking up musicians after reading this because I found many of his opinions quite convincing.

Reviewer: Sean Barrs
Summary: Two extremely talented artists, one a writer and one a composer, converse over a mutual appreciation of music in a way that will appeal directly to lovers of classical music and opera.
Buy? Yes Borrow? Yes
Pages: 352 Date: November 2016
He shares them with the renowned Seiji Ozawa, former music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Murakami admits to a sense of kinship he found in Ozawa; they both produce art, and they go about it in very different ways, though they are both pushed forward with the same sense of drive: an absolute love of their work. It's what they live for; it's who they are. That being said though, it is by no means a one way conversation. In matters of music Ozawa is the master and Murakami a mere amateur; however, they still both respect and admire each other's opinions. They question each other to learn more as their friendship grows.
They discuss music ranging from Beethoven to all manner of operas, and due to the nature of Ozawa's music the discussions mainly rest on classical music rather than anything more up-beat. I think the more you know about music the more enjoyable you will find this book. I know very little about the formal qualities of music, though I feel like I learnt a little bit whilst reading this. For someone who knows all the nuances the two discuss, the book will certainly be more enjoyable for them when compared to someone with a pedestrian level of knowledge.
What I found most interesting was the comments Murakami made about music and writing; he said that I am writing as if I'm making music and goes on to explain what he meant, at least, as best he can to Ozawa. He attributes it to Jazz and the rhythm it produces, arguing that prose has to have rhythm for it to be decent writing; it needs to be moving ever forward, carrying momentum into the next sentence, in order for it to be effective. Ozawa does not fully understand the concept. I don't fully understand it either, but that's unimportant because Murakami does and his success speaks for itself. Such is the nature of art.
Ozawa, for his part, appreciated Murakami's enthusiasm despite his lack of technical knowledge and provides a very characteristic afterward reflecting on the nature of the project. For the right reader, this will be immensely entertaining. The two men share a passion for music and it runs through the entirety of their conversations, though you will also need to possess the same passion to appreciate the nature of the book. As such I only recommend it to those who can keep up with the nature of the content as it may wash over others.
If you want to read some of Murakami's fictional writing then 1Q84: The Complete Trilogy by Haruki Murakami would be a fantastic place to start.

Q: IIS - Forwarding requests to a folder to another port Context
I currently installed Glassfish 3 in a server that currently holds ASP and PHP inside Internet Information Server 7 so we can start moving to a new system architecture (the information system is being remade). Obviously, Glassfish uses another port and without too much configuration (all I had to do is to install it) it worked. If I write www.domain.com:8080, the person will be redirected to the Glassfish server.
Issue
Obviously I don't want the person to write the port! I also believe it might also hold some security issues.
Requirement
I need the server to take an address of the form www.domain.com/gf or new.domain.com or something alike, and when it receives such a request, "redirect" (masking the URL) the user to the Glassfish website (www.domain.com:8080).
Thank you beforehand!

A: sounds like you need something like the Apache Tomcat connector for iis dont let the name fool you it also works for glassfish
between this http://www.codefactorycr.com/glassfish-behind-apache.html (Yes i know it is for mod_JK but the workers.properties file is very similar for the isapi filter)
and https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=218270157
you should have a good start getting it working

They say "necessity is the mother of invention." We are a small greenhouse producer in central New York . When we had an overabundance of cull tomatoes in our greenhouses, we searched for ways to turn them into a value added product. With some updates to some tried and true family recipes and the help of the great folks at Nelson Farms, near Morrisville , NY , the "Old Goat" food line was born.
Each one of our salsas are a unique blend of sweet and spicy flavors that combine delicious fruit with our homegrown tomatoes, spices and herbs.
We do not use pesticides in our tomato, pepper and herb production. We grow our tomatoes, in coir, which is a material made of coconut fiber and we fertilize with chicken manure. By growing tomatoes undercover we greatly reduce the incidence of "late blight" in our crop and extend our growing season.
The goats are triplets, and we've matched the salsa to their personalities. "Spike" is the big brother of the three, strong willed and stubborn, so he'd like you to try: Spike's Hot Fruit Salsa. " Violet" is the mild – mannered, good – natured middle "kid", she'd like you to try: Violet's Medium Fruit Salsa. "Vinca," is our gentle baby boy, he'd like you to try: Vinca's Sweet Fruit Salsa. His salsa is a favorite with human "kids" because it's not spicy at all!
All "kidding" aside, we hope you'll try all the Old Goat Salsa, Jams and Sauces! Enjoy!
Our farm is located on 9 acres just off Route 233 in Westmoreland on South Street, between Route 5 and the NYS Thruway..
We are very proud to be a NOFA-NY "Farmer Pledge" farm. We grow in heated greenhouses, hoophouses as Well as in the field. Our emphasis is on growing heirloom veggies and some unique hybrids. We are committed To growing using organic, non-GMO seeds. We use no pesticides, herbicides or fungicides on our Farm.


Mary Chaplin is a professional French artist living in Wailly, near Amiens in the beautiful River Selle Valley. She was born near the Bay of the Somme and spent her younger years in the Picardie countryside, often accompanying her father who was passionate about the local wildlife and environment. Her mother had a beautiful garden where she grew flowers to sell at the weekly village markets , Mary would help her picking and creating bunches of flowers, old roses, peonies, lupines , phlox…, it was surely from these early years that her love of the country , forests and flowers came from.
Her earliest works then were motivated by her environment, the sea, fields, forests, country life, not forgetting the flowers in her mother's garden. The Bay of the River Somme is famous for its flora, fauna and above all its beautiful light which has always been an inspiration for painters, poets and writers.
At first she experimented with many different techniques, water colour, pastels, pencil, acrylic and oil, capturing the scenes around her, but even at the beginning of her career she was using light as an integral theme through her works.
In 2005 her work took on a great U turn when sitting quietly in a small chapel in a picturesque coastal village , Bois de Cise, she watched the light patterns through the stained glass windows moving slowly over the old flag stone floor. She knew she had to try to capture the light, colours and movement and hurried back to her studio these ephemeral images swirling in her head!
Series of paintings were created influenced by the light , colour and textures from the chapel, later from the contrasting shadows cast by the pews , alters, architecture and stonework found in churches and cathedrals throughout Europe, all subtly different but all integrating her personal and metaphorical interpretation and appropriation of light's fugacity.
From this abstraction the natural progression was to return to her roots with the incorporation of her love of flowers and nature into her paintings. Fleeting moments captured in the instant, free and energetic brushstrokes, vivid colours, the wind blowing through the flowers , the storm brewing in the distance or the morning sun shining through the mist over her garden give movement, life, joy and ever changing living beauty to her works.
Mary takes us into her universe, a unique approach to a subject that is dear to her heart, inventing happy places which she shares with the viewer. In today's world of metaphorically everlasting winter she brings us an eternal summer.
Mary Chaplin has had many plaudits throughout her career. She has exhibited throughout France, Belgium and England in galleries and private exhibitions. Her art has been published in several reviews, specialist art magazines and television broadcasts. Her art is spread all around the world in Private Collections.

Ingram Parish Sports Hill Race Cup (1923-25)
Categories: History
Tags: Ingram, Ingram Show, local history
Ingram Parish Sports (1923-1925)
[Credit: All images © Bennet Wiese 2020 and used with permission.]
We were recently contacted by Bennet Wiese, a young man from Braunschweig near Hanover in northern Germany.
A house owner there had passed away and so Bennet's dad and stepmother were cleaning the house up. As they did so, they found a very interesting silver cup that was originally presented to 'A. Little' who was the winner of the Ingram Hill Race in the years 1923-1925. Unfortunately, nothing is known about the house owner other than he had lived in England for a period and that he was not 'A. Little'.
Bennet cleaned up the cup and has kindly sent some photos to share, also in the hope of finding out more about its origins.
Inscription reads:
/Ingram Parish Sports./ Presented/ by many Friends/ To/ A. Little,/ winner of/ The Ingram Hill Race,/ for three successive years/ 1923-1924-1925./
The trophy bears a silver hallmark:
As far as I can work out from my research (I'm no expert, so please advise me if you think I've got this wrong), the hallmark reads as follows.
An 'R&S' gothic in three conjoined circles refers to Reid & Sons. The business was established in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1778 by Christian Ker Reid (1756-1834) and moved to London in 1874.
Standard Mark
Lion passant (this certifies the 925/1000 (sterling) silver standard in London and other British Assay Offices, so it is always present on British Sterling Silver items).
Town Mark
London: leopard's head uncrowned (1821-present).
Date letter
(London) 1923.
In summary, the cup appears to be British sterling silver made by Reid and Sons of London in 1923. This appears to fit with the engraved dates of 1923-1924-1925, suggesting that the cup was made in 1923 and then bought in 1925 from a supplier who likely engraved it ready for presentation.
Do you have any information about the history of the Ingram Parish Sports Hill Race? We know that the annual Ingram Show and Sports began in 1909, as the Show celebrated its centenary in 2009.
Do you know who 'A. Little' was?

Sony BDP-S4100 review
Best Blu-ray player up to £100, Awards 2013. An impressive Blu-ray player with an impressive performance and a good set of features Tested at £95
By What Hi-Fi? published 16 October 13
Best Blu-ray player up to £100, Awards 2013. Great all-round ability and some nice features, this budget player represents excellent value for money
Punchy, vibrant, natural picture
Agile sound
No built-in wi-fi
What Hi-Fi? Verdict
Tired of the same old black boxes? How about one that pretends to be a chunk of rock crystal? That's what you get with the Sony BDP-S4100 Blu-ray player.
The BDP-S4100 is part of Sony's latest design philosophy, which features heavily on all of its home entertainment products and Blu-ray players in 2013. Sony calls this the 'Sense of Quartz' style.
MORE: Awards 2013
The unit is sloped and angular, and even the control buttons on the top edge are shaped to look like tiny crystals.
It's certainly different, but it's subtle enough not to look silly in the living room. Geology bling: we like it.
The BDP-S4100 is a Blu-ray player from the lower end of Sony's 2013 Blu-ray player range, just below the Sony BDP-S5100.
What's the difference? It doesn't have built-in wi-fi, so you need a wired connection or USB LAN dongle for internet access. The 4100 also consumes less power: 9.9W versus the 5100's 14W.
Aside from that, there are no differences on paper. The 'S4100 does nearly everything its bigger brother does. You get 3D and SACD compatibility, USB playback and DLNA for streaming from a networked computer or storage device.
It's compatible with the TV SideView app for controlling the player with your smartphone or tablet. It also has the same inputs: one HDMI and one digital coaxial.
A good specs sheet, then – but how about the performance?
The Sony BDP-S4100 scores very highly when it comes to video. We start with a Blu-ray of Iron Man 3 and the picture is crisp and confident, with a remarkable amount of detail to surfaces with texture.
Movement is handled smoothly: skip to one of the many scenes with Tony Stark's flying armour and there's little trace of judder.
The Pioneer BDP-160 has an edge when it comes to boldness of colours, but the Sony offsets this with a greater degree of punch thanks to impressive contrast and cleaner whites. Colours are subtly balanced, with real care given to textures and skin tones.
Switch to one of the night-time scenes and dark tones are handled nicely, with very good detail in the shadows.
We're happy with the S4100's DVD performance, too: it's a strong upscaler, with solid lines and a good stab at noise reduction.
We switch to 3D Blu-ray with The Great Gatsby, and the Sony displays a decent grip on motion.
There's also a decent sense of depth, with the S4100 presenting a convincingly layered image. It's fairly bright too, making the most of the film's scintillating content.
The sound is robust, with good attention given to dialogue. There's a fine sense of timing too, while explosions sound taut and precise.
In our experience, Sony's Blu-ray players tend to trade a little weight for agility, and this is true with the S4100.
You'd have to go up in model (and price) if you want that extra dab of richness.

Features and usability
The S4100 is very nice to use. Take-off on Blu-ray is fairly speedy (less so with 3D) and Sony's trademark Xross Media Bar menu system moves along quickly.
The remote control doesn't match the distinctive look of the player, but it works well. Buttons are logically laid out, nicely spaced and very responsive.
Too old fashioned? Check out the remote control app on Android and iOS. These are nothing new, but Sony's TV SideView app is fancier than most.
You get a choice of tiles through which you access a virtual remote and see information on Blu-rays you may have watched. Like the traditional remote control, the app is accurate and very responsive.
That's just a taste of the smart features on hand. The Sony Entertainment Network (SEN) is a music and video service with good choice of content.
You can also download video-on-demand apps such as Netflix, LoveFilm, BBC iPlayer and Demand 5. It's not as comprehensive as Samsung's smart offering at the moment, but there is more than enough here to sink your teeth into.
The Sony BDP-S4100 Blu-ray player does more (and does it better) than we'd expect given its low price.
It offers a strong performance and a host of features you'd find on more expensive models. We're very impressed.

Action indicators - are icons that appear in the left margin of the text editor. These icons identify actions available in the corresponding line and cursor position. If there are several actions available in the same place, the icon corresponding to the action of the highest priority is shown.
There are two types of action indicators: fixed indicators and context-sensitive indicators.
- the method is a unit test and you can run and debug it.
- the class is a unit test class and you can run and debug containing tests.
- the unit test passed during the last execution.
- tests in the unit test class passed during the last execution.
- the unit test failed during the last execution.
- at least one test in the unit test class failed during the last execution.
- the unit test was ignored during the last execution.
- all tests in the unit test class were ignored during the last execution.
- the interface has implementations and you can navigate to these implementations.
- the type is overridden elsewhere and you can navigate to these overrides.
- the member implements an interface method and and you can navigate to it.
- the member overrides an inherited virtual or abstract member and you can navigate to it.
- the call is recursive. If this is a tail call, JetBrains Rider suggests a quick-fix to replace recursion with iteration.
- the member hides a member with the same in the base class, without overriding it.
- the resource is overridden for specific cultures and you can navigate to the derived definitions.
- the resource is defined in the base culture and you can navigate to the definition in the default culture.
- there is a bookmark at this line.
Caret-sensitive indicators show up as soon as you set the caret to a specific place in the code and suggest one or more actions that may be helpful at this place.
Most of the time JetBrains Rider can indicate several actions at your caret position and therefore often an indicator of a specific action with a higher priority hides several more actions with lower priority.
- suggests a quick-fix for the detected code issue with the Error severity level.
- suggests an inplace refactoring or a refactoring that can fix the detected code issue.
- suggests a quick-fix for the detected code issue with Warning, Suggestion or Hint severity level.
- suggests to run current unit tests or unit test class.
- suggests to debug current unit tests or unit test class.
- suggests to append current unit tests or unit test class to existing unit test session.
- suggests to create a new unit test session for current unit tests or unit test class.
(appears when you select a code block) - suggests reformatting selected code.
- suggests a context action.
- suggests a code annotation context action.
(appears when you select a code block) - a surround action and surround templates for the selection.
You are free to choose whether to use the suggestions or not, but it often worth taking a look at what is available at the current caret position.
While the action list is displayed, you can start typing to find and execute any of the available actions and search through settings.
If JetBrains Rider detects one or more code issues under your caret, the Inspection [name of inspection] sub-menu appears in the action list for each issue detected with a configurable inspection. You can use items of this sub-menu to configure options of the corresponding inspection.

From Guillaume Duprat, winner of the Bologna Ragazzi Non-fiction Illustrator Award, comes EYE SPY, a unique book that uses lift-the-flap interactivity to allow children to see the world through the eyes of their favorite animals – every page is a surprise!
Ever wondered what your cat is watching out of the window? Or how having eyes on the sides of its head changes the world for a horse? And what would life be like if we couldn't see the whole rainbow or—even stranger—could see in four or five colors instead of only three?
EYE SPY takes children on a whirlwind tour of how eyes work and lets them lift-the-flaps to find out how animals as different as dogs, owls, and chameleons see the same scene. The perfect non-fiction companion to best seller Brendan Wenzel's They All Saw a Cat, it's a truly eye-opening experience guaranteed to fuel and satisfy the curiosity of any animal-lover.
