Social media use and its impact on body image, according to research
image taken from 'BBC'
A recent research discloses how the use of social media could affect the self-perceived body image of adolescent girls and young women. As social media play a vital role in the lives of adolescent girls and boys, its impact on body image and the awareness of beauty continues to grow.
Being active on social media may influence how young women observe their own look. Newly, the effects of social media on our well-being and mental health have been the topic of much discussion.
According to the social displacement theory, for instance, the more time we expend socializing online, the less time we are probable to spend mixing in the offline world. This could cause a decrease in one's general well-being.
However, new studies have dismissed this myth, with researchers disagreeing that social media is "not immoral in the way people think it is." Some other studies have drawn relations between social media use and loneliness, proposing that going on a social media "detox" lowers feelings of loneliness and despair.
Does social media have an influence on our body confidence and how we distinguish our own appearance, however?
The new study — led by Jennifer Mills, an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at York University in Toronto, Canada, and Jacqueline Hogue, a Ph.D. student in the department's Clinical Program — observed the effects of social media on the self-perceived body image of young women.
Mills and Hogue published their conclusions in the journal Body Image.
Studying social media use and body image
Mills and Hogue divided 118 female undergraduate students aged 18–27 into two groups. Participants in the first group logged into Instagram and Facebook for 5 minutes or more and were requested to discover one peer of approximately the same age whom they "openly deliberated more attractive" than themselves.
Then, the scientists asked all of the students to comment on the photos of their peers. One group was taken as a control group. In this group, the women logged into Instagram and Facebook for at least 5 minutes. They were asked to leave a comment on a post of a family member whom they did not reflect more attractive.
Before and after these tasks, the students filled in a survey which asked about how much disappointment they felt about their overall appearance, using a scale ranging from "none" to "very much."
"Participants ranked how displeased they felt about their body and appearance by placing a vertical line on a 10cm horizontal line," the authors describe. The scientists recorded the responses "to the nearest millimeter," which formed a 100-point scale.
Their outcomes exposed that after interacting with attractive peers, the women's insights of their own appearance altered. While interacting with their family members did not have any kind of bearing on their body image.
"Social media engagement with attractive peers rises adverse state body image," describe the researchers.
Mills remarks on the discoveries, saying, "The consequences showed that these young adult women felt more displeased with their bodies."
"They felt poorer about their own appearance after searching social media pages of somebody that they supposed to be more beautiful and attractive than them. And if they felt immoral about themselves before they came into the task, on average, they still felt worse after carrying out the study."
Jennifer Mills
"When we compare ourselves with other people, that can possibly affect the valuation of ourselves," she adds.
"We actually need to educate young individuals on how social media use could be making them feel about themselves and how this could even be connected to eating disorders, strict dieting, or excessive exercise. There are individuals who may be triggered by social media and who are particularly susceptible," concludes Mills.

This week I am featuring a nautical bathroom! Katie from the Northern Prepster did such a great job decorating her bathroom!
There's even a little anchor hanging on the framed oar!
I'm obsessed with the pink seahorse and lighthouse on the back of the toilet!
Do you have a nautical room you want to share? Send me an email!
I love the oar and the navy stripes throughout. I need to work on my tiny bathroom.
This is so cute! I'll have to send you pictures of our bathroom and living room!
This is adorable! That pink seahorse is a real treasure!
I saw an oar (can't recall magazine) that was mounted to the wall but pushed out a bit so that things could be hung from the shaft of the oar.
Wow, she really did a great job with the details. I love her striped shower curtain!
Oh Em Gee! I need to know where that shower curtain is from!! I have been looking something exactly like that!


Multnomah County Animal Services shall be CLOSED on Wednesday, July 4, in observance of Independence Day. At Pets Greatest, we consider that your pets are a part of your loved ones, and although unable to speak, they've the power to know us. Whether it is a gentle nudge and a wagging tail, or a reassuring purr, dogs and cats have the flexibility to talk to us in their very own way and can help enrich our lives. For dogs or cats imported from rabies-free international locations or regions, the quarantine period will be completed inside 12 hours if you have an export certificates that the animal is fitted with a microchip of ISO standards.
Generally a ranger's pet will load on the map earlier than the owner; this causes the attraction skill, F to trigger for different rangers (as though it have been a pet with out owner). Urgent the important thing has no effect. Pets and animals are impacted by emergencies. It is crucial to include their wants in your loved ones's preparedness efforts. recognize your help and willingness to supply a lifetime of affection to an animal in need.
Pets will be stowed using the button to the left of their portrait, and can automatically show up once more when the ranger enters combat. Switching pets is finished by clicking the button to the correct of the pet's portrait. They cannot be turned off, although they are often set to 'Keep away from Combat'. People have a particular bond with their pets, and medication has taken benefit of this particular relationship in animal-assisted therapy.
Youngsters who learn to the real animals confirmed better social expertise and extra sharing, cooperation, and volunteering. They also had fewer behavioral issues. Most boarding kennels, veterinarians and animal shelters will need your pet's medical data to ensure all vaccinations are present. Unlocked pets are character -sure; the tamed pets aren't shared between different ranger characters on the same account (except for the Corridor of Monuments pets).
Call your local emergency management office, animal shelter or animal management workplace to get recommendation and data. Researchers tracked how persistently these teenagers checked their blood glucose. Compared with teenagers who weren't given a fish to look after, fish-protecting teens have been extra disciplined about checking their very own blood glucose levels, which is crucial for maintaining their well being.


For overweight individuals out there, clothing items featuring horizontal lines are a huge no-no! Remember that tip! This pattern emphasize the width of your body, so it will make you seem even wider. The correct choice is a vertical stripe or pattern, which elongates the body, thus diminishing width.
Just because a trend is popular does not mean you should follow it. What looks fabulous on the 6′ tall, rail-thin fashion model may not translate as well on you. Dress by your personal tastes, not by what is recommended that week. When in doubt, trust your instincts. They will not lead you in the wrong direction.
Use a lip pencil for full lips. Apply a sheen with petroleum jelly or gloss. Finally, add some gloss on the top lip for pouty lips. You could also bring out your lips by applying eyeshadow that brings out your lip color. Just put a little bit at the center of your lips.
Consuming filtered water can help eliminate dry nails and cuticles. Your nails and cuticles may be dry due to lack of hydration. When winter air is dry and cold, this can be very important. Use a moisturizer on nails at least once a day. You are going to want to think about using shea butter on your hands before sleep as well to keep them maintained healthy.
People sometimes say negative things just to bring you down. Not everyone has to look like they belong in Hollywood. It is more important to feel comfortable with how you dress, and in the end you will attract someone who likes your style.
A lot of times, jackets will have loose stitches near vents or shoulders. These threads can make your whole look appear a little sloppy. Just cut them off with scissors. This is a simple step that can boost your style.
You don't have to adhere to the status quo when it comes to how you dress. Without trying a look yourself, you'll never know whether it looks good on you. One fun way to try things on is the mix and match method. You can ultimately create a look that is really special and makes you look like a million bucks.
You may want to hire a fashion consultant when shopping occasionally. If you are a busy person then it may be necessary to help keep you updated with all the latest fashion trends. Picking up a fashion consultant wouldn't be the worst thing you could do. For example, while you're shopping, having someone there to assist you in choosing the right attire could be a great idea.
Surprisingly, floral patterns are making a big comeback on the runways for upcoming seasons. You can relax now and think about wearing that floral blouse, dress and pants. However, you also don't want to overdo it. One item with a floral pattern is enough. Don't try mixing and matching different patterns.
Oily hair and skin may be caused by imbalanced hormones in both men and women. Reduce stress during the day as this can cause oil and grease in your hair. Use yoga or meditation techniques to control your stress and keep your body from overproducing oil.
Hopefully, you now get why people love fashion so much. You might know how to be more fashionable. You will be more confident and look better. You're worth it, just do it!

Note If the console is experiencing an issue that requires you to Restore Factory Defaults, but you can't access the Settings hub on your Xbox One console, use this process.
Warning Using this method to restore your console to the factory default settings erases all accounts, apps, games, saved games, and settings. Anything not synchronized with Xbox Live will be lost. Your console syncs with Xbox Live automatically when it's connected with the service.
A Windows-based PC with an Internet connection and a USB port.
A USB flash drive with a minimum 4 GB of space formatted as NTFS.
For information about how to format a USB flash drive to NTFS using a PC, see How to format a flash drive to NTFS on Windows.
Helpful hint Most USB flash drives come formatted as FAT32 and will have to be reformatted to NTFS. Note that formatting a USB flash drive for this procedure will erase all files on it.
To unzip the compressed file, right-click on the file and then select Extract all from the pop-up menu.
Copy the $SystemUpdate file from the .zip file to your USB flash drive.
Note The files should be copied to the root directory, and there shouldn't be any other files on the flash drive.
Unplug the flash drive from your computer.
Unplug the network cable if you're using a wired network connection.
Plug the flash drive into a USB port on your console.
Press and hold the BIND button (located on the left side of the console) and the EJECT button (located on the front of the console), and then press the Xbox button on the console.
Continue holding the BIND and EJECT buttons for 10-15 seconds.
Listen for two "power-up" tones a couple of seconds apart.
Note If you don't hear two power-up tones after 15 seconds, it means this failed. Likewise, if you hear any "power-down" chirps, that also means this failed.
You can release the BIND and EJECT buttons after the second power-up tone.
When the console restarts, remove the flash drive.
Once the console restarts, you should see the digital setup experience to guide you through resetting your console. For additional help, see Set up your Xbox One console.
Note The console restart may take several minutes. If you're using a wired connection, plug your network cable back into the console. If you have never connected your console to the Internet, you will need to connect at least once during the system setup process.
Pressing the BIND and EJECT buttons at the same time forces the console to look for the USB drive update, as the console will not look for a USB drive unless it needs it. This helps to decrease console start times for all startups when this step is not needed.
The first power-up tone will occur approximately 10 seconds after powering up. This indicates that a USB update has been detected. The second power-up tone indicates that the update file has been copied and mounted. This is important, as it confirms you have successfully initiated the process.

CD Review – Blair Dunlop "Blight & Blossom"
Jeremy Gaunt Posted On October 27, 2012
There is something very pleasing about batons being passed from one generation to the next, especially if the handover is clean. So there is a frisson of pleasure to be found in "Blight & Blossom", the first full album from Blair Dunlop, 20 year-old son of British folk rock great Ashley Hutchings.
It is a crisp, beautifully arranged album of songs that range from some traditional British folk to contemporary ballads. It is a great listen for those who like updated country folk and gentle singer-songwriter odes backed by solid musicianship.
Some songs – notably the opening track "Secret Theatre" – are refreshingly reminiscent of Pentangle, the British folk-jazz band from the '60s and '70s. An arrangement of the traditional "Black is the Colour" is a haunting affair helped along by lovely vocals from Rebecca Lovell from Larkin Poe, the U.S. folk rock act. Dunlop says he wanted a transatlantic flavour because the song is deeply embedded in both Scottish and Appalachian culture. Some dreamy piano work from Dunlop on "The Gown" pulls you into a sad ballad based on the Mormon idea that women become immortalised as angels when they die. This one doesn't.
Dunlop, understandably, is said to be keen not to be seen just as his father's son. He clearly shouldn't be. But you can't get away from who you are. His dad – founding member of Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span and The Albion Band – does contribute some bass on one song and Hutchings' bandmate and contemporary Richard Thompson gave Dunlop the excellent "Seven Brothers" for the album.
Hutchings has also handed over the reins of "The Albion Band" to his son, who is running it with a gaggle of young players. Folk Trek: The Next Generation, if you like.
That said, Dunlop's first full CD solo outing (Rooksmere Records) stands on its own. This is no copy of dad's work.
It is not flawless, of course. Dunlop's voice had a lovely soft touch to it with just the appropriate amount of nasal twang for the genre (almost like Dougie MacLean at times). But it is young – not surprisingly – and at times lacks a rawness that surely will come with future productions.
But for now, this will do nicely, thank you.

Q: Why does type casting from "int" to "float" cut my value in half? I was testing out type casting in C++ today after reviewing a past quiz and can't for the life of me figure out why my 'x' value changes from 9 to 4.5000 in the following code.
int main(){
    int x = 9, y = 2;
    float z;
    z = (float)x/(float)y;
    printf("\n%f", z);
    printf("\n%f", x);
    printf("\n%d", x);
}

Outputs
4.5000
4.5000
9

I'd appreciate any help!

A: The printf function is expecting a float to be on the stack (because of %f) and you've only provided an int.
You need to cast x to a float in that case:
printf("\n%f", (float)x);

A: In printf("\n%f", x) with an int x, you are not casting x to float - you're assuming it's a float. It's like handing a firefighter a stick of butter and telling him it's a fire extinguisher - won't work right.
In order to cast, you either have to assign the value to a cast-compatible variable:
float floatX = x;
printf("\n%f", floatX);

or use the cast operator:
printf("\n%f", (float)x);

A: It is not cutting your X in half. look at the code below it still prints 4.5
#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
    int x = 9, y = 2;
    float z;
    z = (float)x/(float)y;
    x = 15;
    printf("\n%f", z);
    printf("\n%f", x);
    printf("\n%d", x);
}

this prints:
4.500000
4.500000
15

May be it has to do internally with how floats and ints are stored on stack. Its fishy because its the first float value that gets stored. If I change the code to this:
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;

int main(){
    int x = 11, y = 2;
    float z;
    z = (float)x/(float)y;
    x = 15;
    printf("\n%f", z);
    printf("\n%f", x);
    printf("\n%d", x);
}

the output is
5.500000
5.500000
15

If you dont print the variable z, then the output becomes
0.000000
15

So may be it has to do with the order of printing.

What expenses are covered under workers' comp?
What if I'm disabled and can't work anymore?
Could I sue the other driver for causing my accident?
Will I need a lawyer's help to get compensation?
Our dedicated work injury lawyers can help answer these and other questions.
Our experienced work injury lawyers are prepared to help injured transport workers and their families receive fair compensation.
"Thank You" After my trucking accident, Banville Law made sure my family got the help we needed.
Banville Law Reviewed by Dave Murphy on June 23rd .
America's transportation workers help keep our economy humming by transporting a variety of goods and products throughout our city and throughout the country. Our retail, service, and other industries rely on these drivers every day. Unfortunately, transportation is also one of the most dangerous industries in the US – accounting for more than 38% of fatal occupational injuries each year.
Motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Each day, transportation workers are at risk of being involved in a serious accident while on the clock. Even when these drivers follow all traffic laws and drive responsibly, there is always the risk of another careless driver causing an accident which results in serious injuries or even death.
Transportation workers who get injured while on-duty qualify for workers' compensation benefits, which provide financial assistance for medical bills and a portion of lost wages. However, many injured transportation have difficulty applying for and receiving the benefits to which they're entitled. Employers and insurance carriers may deny claims and some workers may be overwhelmed by the complicated nature of the process.
Additionally, these benefits don't always provide adequate compensation for serious injuries. Victims of serious accidents caused by negligent drivers may have the option to recover additional damages in a personal injury lawsuit.
Banville Law's work injury lawyers are proud to help all types of transportation workers and professional drivers recover the financial compensation they deserve. We understand how the benefits process works for employees in both the private and the public sectors.
We're prepared to help all types of professional drivers earn the compensation they need while they're recovering from serious work injuries.
When Can Injured Transportation Workers Sue?
Like in any other car accident, injured transportation drivers may sue when another party's negligence caused the accident. Negligence is a legal term which means a failure to act in a reasonably safe way and endangering others in the process.
Filing a lawsuit is often necessary for serious injuries, as insurance policy cap limits often prevent victims from recovering the full compensation they need.
What If I'm Permanently Injured In A Work Accident?
If your injury is severe enough to prevent you from going back to work for at least 12 months, you may qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. Applying for these benefits is similar to workers' compensation, as you must provide plenty of medical evidence to support your claim. These cases are also very difficult to win without legal guidance.
What If I Lost A Loved One In A Transportation Work Accident?
We understand how painful it is to unexpectedly lose a loved one in a tragic accident. At the very least, your family should not have to worry about supporting yourselves while you're grieving. Workers' compensation provides death benefits for surviving families of fatal work accidents. Additionally, you may have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent driver who caused the accident with your loved one. We can help you make sure your finances are in order during this difficult time.
Will I Need A Lawyer To File For Workers' Comp?
Seeking compensation for transportation work injuries is a complicated process. While workers' compensation is the sole option for financial compensation in most other industries, work accidents involving negligent drivers add another layer of complexity to the situation. Many injured transportation drivers may have grounds for a personal injury claim in addition to the workers' compensation benefits they're entitled to.
In order to secure the maximum compensation you're entitled to, it's usually necessary to have your case reviewed by an experienced work injury lawyer. Legal counsel is useful both for navigating the workers' compensation process and for determining who was at fault for causing your accident.
At Banville Law, our we have injury lawyers who specialize in both personal injury and work injury matters. Our team is prepared to work together so that you have all of the financial assistance you need while you recover from your injury. Call us today to schedule a free consultation, so we can begin planning your next steps.

"Toronto 18" Leader Sentenced to 16 Years in Prison
The Toronto Star – October 25, 2010
Fahim Ahmad, the convicted leader of the so-called Toronto 18, was sentenced October 25th to 16 years in prison for his role in a plot to launch a campaign of terrorist attacks in Canada. In imposing the sentence, Justice Fletcher Dawson granted him a time served credit of eight years and nine months. The 26-year-old Toronto man, a married father of two young children, won't be eligible to seek parole for 3 1/2 years. Under his direction, plans were made to attack nuclear stations and storm Parliament, taking politicians hostage until Canada gave into his demands to pull troops from Afghanistan. He and seventeen other young men were arrested on June 2, 2006.

What do we mean by management innovation?
A management innovation is a marked departure from traditional management principles, processes and practices or a departure from customary organisational forms that significantly alters the way the work of management is performed.
In the 1920s, for example, General Motors' invention of the divisionalised organisation helped it overtake Ford to become the world's leading automotive company. In the 1930s, Procter & Gamble's development of brand management made it the dominant force in consumer goods markets. Toyota's work on employee-based problem solving in the 1970s helped revolutionise manufacturing.
Successful management innovations like these change the way the world's organisations are managed.

A: Sounds like you're getting a deadlock between your invocation of setting the images and your update of the picture boxes.
I'd recommend rethinking your program a bit.  Your program almost seems to be built on the concept that you're modeling an individual die with an individual thread.  Break up the state of the die from the state of the thread.  For example, you might want to create a Die class which has a certain state to it, such as IsRolling, or CurrentValue.  Use and modify objects of that class (and that class only) inside your loops in your worker threads.  That way, you won't have to invoke back to your UI thread to update.  The dependencies are a lot cleaner that way.  You might want to create a Timer in your UI thread which periodically fires (say 10-30 times a second), reads the state of each of the dice, and updates the images that way.  That's a lot safer in terms of deadlocks because you don't have any cyclic dependencies.  It'll also likely produce a more attractive interface because your die images will update in a smoother, more predictable fashion.
Another rule of thumb... Don't call Thread.Abort() (see references).  It's generally a lot safer to use a property of a Die object and simply read from that to update your UI.

A: You need to remove MessageBox.Show("Each die has its own thread"); from button1_Click.
Create a property to track how many threads have returned.  When it hits 6 invoke MessageBox.Show("Each die has its own thread"); (you will probably want to put this call in its own method and invoke that method).
Your problem is that you are starting the threads, then while they are running showing the message box rather then waiting for the threads to return.

A: If you're able to work against the latest version of the .Net Framework, I would recommend making use of the System.Threading.Tasks namespace.  The nice thing is that it encapsulates a lot of the multithreading details and makes things much cleaner.  Here's a simple example.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace TasksExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // holds all the tasks you're trying to run
            List<Task> waitingTasks = new List<Task>();

            // a simple object to lock on
            object padlock = new object();

            // simple shared value that each task can access
            int sharedValue = 1;

            // add each new task to the list above.  The best way to create a task is to use the Task.Factory.StartNew() method.
            // you can also use Task.Factory<RETURNVALUE>.StartNew() method to return a value from the task
            waitingTasks.Add(Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
            {
                // this makes sure that we don't enter a race condition when trying to access the
                // shared value
                lock (padlock)
                {
                    // note how we don't need to explicitly pass the sharedValue to the task, it's automatically available
                    Console.WriteLine("I am thread 1 and the shared value is {0}.", sharedValue++);
                }
            }));

                }
            }));

            // once you've spun up all the tasks, pass an array of the tasks to Task.WaitAll, and it will
            // block until all tasks are complete
            Task.WaitAll(waitingTasks.ToArray());

            Console.WriteLine("Hit any key to continue...");
            Console.ReadKey(true);
        }
    }
}

I hope this helps, and let me know if you need any more help.

Home › National teams › Czechoslovakia
During its 72-year-long existence, Czechoslovakia took part in eight World Cups and three European Championships. They were reasonably successful, finishing second at World Cups 1934 and 1962 and winning the Euro 1980. The team was disbanded following the dissolution of its native country, with the Czech Republic carrying on as the official successor.
Olympic football tournament: 1
UEFA European Championship: 1
Most games played: Zdeněk Nehoda (91)
Top goalscorer: Antonín Puč (34)

Early exploits
Shortly after the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia, the country's national team started preparing for the 1920 Olympics. That's where they recorded their first official victory (7-0 against Yugoslavia) and made a successful run to the finals. However, the final match against Belgium was mired in controversy; with 0-2 down, the Czechoslovaks left the field and were not given medals.
This incident was soon forgotten in light of an excellent showing at the 1934 World Cup. The team recorded three straight victories on their way to the final match against hosts Italy: 2-1 against Romania, 3-2 against Switzerland, and 3-1 against Germany. They proceeded to lose to Italy 1-2 in extra time, despite gaining the lead in the 71st minute. With 5 goals, Oldřich Nejedlý won the top goalscorer title.
The 1938 World Cup was also relatively successful for Czechoslovakia. After beating the Netherlands in the round of 16, they were set to play Brazil. Following a 1-1 draw in a violent skirmish known as the Battle of Bordeaux, the Czechoslovaks lost the replay 1-2 and were eliminated. During WWII, they played a few unofficial matches under the name of Bohemia.
Path to contention
The post-WWII period started off quietly, as Czechoslovakia missed out on the 1950 World Cup. At the following two World Cups, they were eliminated in the group stage. However, they made up for it by qualifying for the inaugural European Championship in 1960. At the final tournament -- which consisted of four teams -- Czechoslovakia lost to the Soviet Union 0-3 in the semi-finals, but then defeated France 2-0 in the 3rd-place match.
This proved to be a solid prelude to the 1962 World Cup. Led by the talented midfielder Josef Masopust, Czechoslovakia survived a group containing Spain, holders Brazil, and Mexico. They went on to beat Hungary and Yugoslavia, staging a rematch with Brazil. Despite opening the scoring via Masopust, they lost the match 1-3. Masopust's stellar performances were later rewarded with a Ballon d'Or trophy.
European champions
The following period saw Czechoslovakia struggle to rediscover the winning formula. By the time of their dissolution, they qualified for only three out of seven World Cups: in 1970, 1982, and 1990. In the former two tournaments, they went out in the group stage. The 1990 World Cup was somewhat of a swan song; they advanced from their group and defeated Costa Rica 4-1 in the round of 16, only to lose to Germany in a tight 0-1 game later on.
In between these tournaments, Czechoslovakia managed to claim its first and only major trophy at the 1976 European Championship. After topping their qualifying group and getting revenge on the Soviet Union in the play-offs, they advanced to the final tournament. Once there, they defeated the Netherlands 3-1 in extra time and took Germany to penalties in the final. They then won the match via Antonín Panenka's memorable chip shot.

A quote recently stood out to me today and revealed a deep misunderstanding about the classic the quote, "The glass is half full!".
After becoming fascinated (and addicted) to online discussions such as; Reddit and Hacker News, I saw there was a missing connection between the article and the discussion around the article.
So it was time to study for uni exams, this meant that I needed to revise the content in all of the lectures. But wait! the lecture slides are only accessible through a convoluted website system called Canvas LMS.
40 pdf's * 2 links * 4 courses = 320 clicks!
Does Hacker News use Dark Patterns?
Hacker News has a wonderful minimalistic user interface that welcomes its users when they arrive. However this interface may have some devious advertisements hidden within them.
There are two main styles of returning from a function in a program. Both styles are almost diametrically-opposed, but have their uses.
Technology is developed in order to solve a problem. The problem is defined in the real world so the solution should endevour to solve the problem based on a model of reality, not the model of technology.
Most people cringe at the thought of viewing or using government websites. It seems they're always light years behind the industry in terms of standards and technology. It's one of the biggest gaps between the private sector and the public sector, but why is this?

Othello in the Seraglio: The Tragedy of Sümbül the Black Eunuch
Presented by WBUR
Othello in the Seraglio, a uniquely powerful "coffeehouse opera," tells an age-old story of passionate love and murderous jealousy, of a black slave at the 17th century Ottoman Court who rises to power and riches, only to come to a tragic end. The multi-layered script is by NEC music historian Robert Labaree, while the stunning score, by Boston composer and Grammy nominee Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol, weaves together Italian Baroque and Turkish sources with his own newly-composed music into a tapestry of uncanny beauty. Othello is performed on European period instruments and traditional Turkish instruments by an ensemble of 12 instrumentalists, singers and a dramatic storyteller.

Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol & Whatsnext? featuring Dave Liebman
Do not miss the premiere of an extended intercultural composition by Grammy nominee Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol for Jazz Orchestra featuring NEA Jazz Master/Saxophonist Dave Liebman!
As a Turkish-American composer Sanlıkol has been saddened and personally affected by the negative attitude toward immigrants, Muslims and minority communities in the US lately. As a result, he decided to compose his new piece, entitled "THE RISE UP", built on three episodes from Middle Eastern history which chronicle dark and traumatic events followed by human inspiration and/or transcendental creation. The first narrative centers around the great Sufi poet Rumi, composer of the most beautiful mystical poetry ever written after the murder of Shams, his beloved teacher. The second story comes from the traditions of Sephardic Jews, expelled from Spain but welcomed by the Ottomans, leading to a cultural flowering treasured to this day. The third narrative tells the story of Mimar Sinan, forcibly taken by the Ottomans as a young Orthodox Christian boy, who came to embrace his new Muslim identity and rose to great heights as the master architect of some of the greatest mosques in the world.
The orchestra will be conducted by Ken Schaphorst, chair of the Jazz department at New England Conservatory, and the unique Middle Eastern musical flavors will be supported by additional ethnic flutes, reeds, percussion and a group of Greek Orthodox cantors. A conversation with Sanlıkol and Liebman moderated by On Point producer Stefano Kotsonis will start the premiere event.

In response to the stereotyping of Muslims in today's politics, Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol employs music to bring together cultural expressions of Islam and Europe, highlight the diversity of Boston's Muslim community, and further conversation among Muslim and non-Muslim Bostonians. The concert's centerpiece is DEVRAN, Sanlıkol's unique new intercultural choral work combining Muslim texts, Renaissance choral style, and Middle Eastern elements into an artistic whole. DEVRAN will be premiered by the NEC Chamber Singers, led by Erica Washburn, and DÜNYA, will perform traditional Turkish Sufi music and Ottoman Jewish music led by the composer.
The first performance takes place following a symposium on Music and Morality at New England Conservatory on 11/9 at Jordan Hall and the second performance takes place on 11/12 at First Church in Roxbury with a panel discussion prior to the concert moderated by WBUR's Louise Kennedy (details below). The panel will include Ali Asani, Professor of Islamic Religion and Cultures at Harvard; Robert Labaree, ethnomusicologist at NEC; and Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol.

Burcu Güleç, voice
Robert Labaree, çeng
George Lernis, percussion
Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol, voice/ud/ney/saz
Five musicians of the Dünya Ensemble on vocals and a wide range of traditional instruments offer a lively and varied program: blunt women's complaints from the countryside, songs which mingle the religious and the secular, songs which express longing and intimacy across ethnic and religious boundaries, "blasphemous" (and therefore politically incendiary) songs by heterodox Sufis, and songs of unconventional love. This is public and private music, for entertainment, contemplation and devotion, expressing explicit border-crossings that defy official or societal norms: "protest music", in the largest sense.

Istanbul: East Meets West
Europeans and Ottomans Listen to Each Other, 1500-1700
How is it possible to convey through music something of the complex interactions and tangled identities of these two regions over even two centuries? As the repertoire on this program demonstrates, the concoction of fact, imagination, paranoia, dogma, pragmatism, fantasy, curiosity and misinformation which falls from the pages of letters, diaries and consular reports in this period is matched in the musical documents on both sides. A central figure of this program is the famous Ali Ufki. Included in his collection were numerous pieces which he identified as "European". We have put pieces excavated from Ali Ufki's one-of-a-kind collection together with other pieces from western sources to reveal how, in these early modern centuries, The Other was deeply rooted in everyday lives and imaginations on both sides.

A BILINGUAL MEVLID:
Süleyman Çelebi's masterpiece in Greek and Turkish
Recognized as a classic of Turkish literature, Vesilet'ün Necat, or more commonly known as Mevlid-i Şerif is a long poem commemorating the birth of the Prophet Muhammed written in Turkish in 1409 by Süleyman Çelebi (1351-1422) in Bursa. It is often chanted on special occasions such as the birth of a child or as a commemoration of the dead. Musically, mevlid is a solo form, improvised and unaccompanied, usually performed in conjunction with Koranic chant and informal group singing of devotional songs (ilahi). The mevlid was translated into other languages of the Ottoman Empire, especially in the Balkans where the translations became just as popular. Tonight after a talk on the topic one section (bahir) of the mevlid will be chanted in Greek and another section will be chanted in Turkish. Before and in between the sections DÜNYA musicians will perform Sufi devotional songs in both languages.

A remake of an old game called Flightmare that was on our Tandy 1000 as a kid. In the style of a Gameboy game because I've been playing my Gameboy again lately and I was curious about trying to use such a limited colour palette.
Shoot down enemy bikes and planes while avoiding their shots and collisions. You need to line yourself up with the enemy in both the side view and top view to be able to hit them (and for them to hit you!).
It might work with gamepads? Maybe? I'm going to try to make that a definite thing in the future.
