Q: How can I apply the Lagrange multipliers method for several constrains? I think I am not understanding some key steps to apply the LM method when we have several constrains. For instance, if we had to find the global extrema of a function $f(x,y,z)$ in a set M defined by the constrains $g_1(x,y,z)$  and $g_2(x,y,z)$, and an additional condition, say $ g_3 =y\le0$, I would follow these steps:

*

*Check the interior of M for critical points that are in the interior (through the gradient of f)

*Apply Lagrange to $g_1$

*Apply Lagrange to $g_2$

*Apply Lagrange to $g_3$

*Apply Lagrange to the intersections
  $$g_{1} \cap g_{2} \cap g_{3}$$
$$g_{1} \cap g_{2}$$$$g_{1} \cap g_{3}$$$$g_{2} \cap g_{3}$$

*Select the maximum and minimum by computing the values of f at the points.

However, sometimes my professor just does Steps 1, 5A; while other times he goes through every step.
I am really confused.
All help is deeply appreciated.

A: If your set $M$ is defined by the constraints
$$
 g_1 (x,y,z) \leq0 \qquad
 g_2 (x,y,z) \leq0
$$
Then we can find a higher dimensional function
$$
 g(x,y,z) = (g_1(x,y,z),g_2(x,y,z))
$$
and then $M$ is defined by the constraint
$$
 g(x,y,z) \leq0,
$$
so we have just one (although higher-dimensional) function.
That is why it is very often only considered, where the set is only defined by one inequality.

Political enemies jostle for position as Goa rivalries come to boil / Power struggle behind language battle in the former Portuguese colony.
By MICHAEL HAMLYN
While the European tourists laze topless on the silver beaches of Goa, watched by a constant parade of young Indians with their minds plainly boggled, other young men are planning mayhem.
'I am afraid that some heads are going to get broken' smiled Aires Rodrigues, a young law student just released from jail where he had been held over Christmas. 'I was arrested on Christmas Eve,' he said. 'Even Salazar (the former dictator of Portugal) would not have been so cruel. '
Goa celebrated the 25th anniversary of its liberation from the colonial yoke of Portugal with a series of riots, strikes and road blocks that were quite uncharacteristic of the usually laid-back Goanese attitude to life and politics.
Six people died in the troubles. But, worse, the quarrel has sharpened communal rivalries between the Christians, who make up 28 per cent of the population, and the Hindus.There are, accordingly, fears that a number of communities are planning to revenge themselves on their neighbours, just as soon as the authorities' backs are turned.
Ostensibly, the troubles are about language and about cultural identity - which has been a fruitful source of Indian discord for many years in many different parts of the country.
Aires Rodrigues with his wife Loretta and daughter Evita.
"Some people are advocates by temperament itself and they just need a degree to practice law. Others have to study to become lawyers. But Aires Rodrigues belongs to the first category because law courses in his veins." That's how Sunaparant editor Advocate Uday Bhembre, began his address at inauguration of Aires Rodrigues' law office at "Ribandar Retreat" on August 4.
Rodrigues did not have to wait until he became a lawyer but argued a case he had filed in the Supreme Court while he was just a law student. Then, for 15 years he roamed the world, to return and complete his law studies and to secure the third rank at the finals. Bhembre said that Rodrigues will succeed in this noble profession, provided people support him, to find a solution for society's major problems. Said
Aires Rodrigues, "After my voyage across the world, I decided that it was time to come back to finish my law studies and start a career, of which I dreamt in my childhood," addressing over 500-odd friends and admirers and people of all walks of life. Adv Rodrigues assured all that he would ensure transparency in all he does and in every step he takes. Adv Rodrigues said, "Please don't ask me to connive or to conspire with my fellow lawyer colleagues."
International Goan Convention, 2000 convened by Aires Rodrigues.
Bridging Gaps
A recap of the several, interesting events at the recently held daylong International Goan Convention in Panjim
"GOANS in Goa are very successful. So also we have Goans who have carved a niche themselves outside Goa and the world over. This International Goan Convention is a grand opportunity to bridge a gap of difference, if any, in the perspectives of the two sections of Goans, and ponder why how the world perceives Goans with so much respect and admiration among other Indians," announced Ryan de Souza, the smart mood-setter at the very start of the Goan International Convention, organised by World Wide Goans in collaboration with the Institute Menezes Braganza, on December 30, 2000, in Panjim.
The convenor, Aires Rodrigues, ushered in the chief guest, India's former super cop and former Ambassador to Romania, Julio Ribeiro, the Chief Minister, Manohar Parrikar, and other distinguished guests, in the packed hall. The convention was attended by 570 registered delegates, of whom 270 were from outside Goa, including expatriates. For once, Goans seemed to have overlooked their caste and creed differences and felt that they were fortunate to be among the larger Konkani flock, assembled and listen to the views of various sections of Goans, some specific problems they face and about probable solutions to the problems.

The lives of hundreds of babies could be saved every year thanks to a simple 15-minute blood test developed at an NHS hospital, which is set to revolutionise the way doctors treat pre-eclampsia – a serious condition that severely affects two in every 100 pregnant women.
Described as "one of the great unsolved mysteries of medical science", pre-eclampsia is a severe type of high blood pressure which can lead to fits that can be fatal for mother and baby.
The only way to cure it is to deliver the baby. Thousands of babies have to be delivered early to prevent the condition worsening and hundreds die because of the complications of an early birth. In the UK, around 1,000 new-born babies die because of pre-eclampsia every year. It also causes the deaths of six to seven women each year.
Until now, the only way to diagnose the condition has been to check for high blood pressure and measure protein levels in urine, but both tests are unreliable, meaning that the condition is often missed. Doctors also have no clear way of telling how severe the condition is, leading to thousands of precautionary – and risky – early deliveries.
But a new test, developed by researchers at London's Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital, was found to identify 96 per cent of women who had the condition and needed their baby to be delivered within two weeks.
The blood test, which gives an accurate result in just 15 minutes, measures the level of placental growth factor (PIGF) in the blood. The results of a study into the test's efficacy showed that women who have a very low PIGF level have severe pre-eclampsia, meaning their baby should be delivered in the next 14 days. But those with a high level are very unlikely to have a severe form of the condition – regardless of their other symptoms – and can safely carry their baby until full term.
The study was published today in the American Heart Association journal Circulation.
Professor Andrew Shennan, a consultant obstetrician at Guy's and St Thomas', who led the study, told The Independent that the new test represented the "most important advance" in obstetrics that he had seen in 20 years of working in the speciality.
Pre-eclampsia affects one in 10 pregnancies, and is severe in around 10 to 20 per cent of cases. It is believed to be caused by problems in the placenta, the organ which connects the baby's blood supply to the mother's.
A UK-wide trial of the blood test is now planned. Professor Shennan said that he had already been in discussions with the Department of Health, and hoped to see the blood test placed on a fast-track for commissioning throughout the NHS.
The breakthrough has the potential to save thousands of lives worldwide if adopted internationally. Professor Shennan said healthcare systems in other countries were watching the trials "very closely".
The study was jointly funded by the baby charity Tommy's and the company which manufactures the test, Alere.
Gemma Barrett, 32, from Kingston, was kept in hospital for more than a week being monitored for suspected pre-eclampsia. Her condition became serious and she had an emergency caesarean to deliver Sebastian, her first baby, at 33 weeks. Sebastian was not breathing when he was born and had to be resuscitated.
She says: "Being kept in hospital and monitored was very traumatic. I was uncertain about what was happening to me and my baby, as were the doctors. If this test had been available, doctors would have had confirmation that I would develop severe pre-eclampsia and my caesarean wouldn't have been an emergency, which caused huge stress for me and my baby.

Manueline architecture is characterized by large arches and twisted frames that frame cornices, facades, and vaults. In Portuguese history, this style represents the period's richness, glory, and history. An architecture ornamentation style indigenous to Portugal in the early 16th century known as Manuelino, was vibrant and lavish. At the end of the 15th century, Lisbon became the first city to exhibit a unique art form. Portuguese palaces, the monastery of Jerónimos , and the Torre de Belém were constructed using an architectural style influenced by Moorish elements during the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance era. During the reign of King Manuel I, numerous monuments, windows, and doorways were built in a Naturalistic style, which contributed mainly to architectural structures rather than decorative elements.

Batalha Monastery

Interior of Batalha Monastery_©Dsouza, P. (2015). Batalha Monastery – See The Light
As two 16th-century cloisters and their annexes no longer exist, the Monastery of Batalha is predominantly Gothic. First architect Afonso Domingos used a language within the Gothic style known as radiant in the church, sacristy, and the Royal Cloister, coinciding with the period's classic architectural moment. Batalha and Portugal, which corresponds to King Manuel I's reign, first adopted the so-called Manueline style at the end of the 15th century and during the first two decades of the 16th. The brilliant inventor of the architectural language this time became known as the architect Mateus Fernandes. Various elements of his work, seen in the windows, stalls, and doorways of the Royal Cloister and the Unfinished Chapels, reflect spirited imagery. Architecture is suddenly treated as if it was a monumental sculpture.
Nonetheless, the works of Mateus Fernandes are still noted for their rigorous geometric faithfulness to the traditional basic flaming style of Batalha. There are numerous intersections and planes revealed in the arches, and facets are bent to intersect in multiple places. In Batalha, for the first time in Portugal, flaming Gothic architecture made a sudden appearance with the arrival of Huguet, who would replace Afonso Domingues. A typical feature of the flaming Gothic style at Batalha is not just the counter-curved arch but also a more complex approach to structural elements like the vault nervures and columns grouped as pillars. Transversally, the nervures have changed from a kind of square with ballooning corners in the radiant to a triangular form in the flaming. There is no change in the cylindrical shaft of the columns, but the extremities have been faceted instead of round. The plants, flowers, and fruits formerly used to decorate the capitals and end parts of the vaults suddenly take on an energetic movement rather than building up in layers or slices.
As in Spain with the 'Plateresque' style, the Manueline style is considered a monument to the final Gothic. However, Manueline architecture (and Plateresque) contain the seeds of modernity, as they reveal the limitations of stylistic analysis when it is automatically assumed that the end of a style signifies its decline and extinction. Thus it is for this reason that the work on the great doorway of Mateus Fernandes is so different from the work on the higher parts of the Unfinished Chapels.

Various forms related to the sea and voyages across oceans to other continents, combining aspects of Christianity with shells, ropes, or fantastic and strange aquatic shapes. This style also contains religious or heraldic symbolism, as seen in armillary spheres. While there is an ornamental flourish that sets it apart from the Gothic, it also avoids the Renaissance's classicism in some ways. This style gives a new look to classic structures without altering them. In addition, Portuguese painting tends to convey emotion because of this. Additionally, the Manueline style (known as Manuelino in Portugal) is evident in the astrological visions on the famous window of the Convent of Christ in Tomar, a bastion of the Templars in times past, as well as on the doorway of Ponta Delgada Cathedral. While Manueline architecture is regarded as a period of great controversy by art historians, it is a vivid ornamental reflection of Portuguese architecture's interactions with distant cultures.
Portuguese art developed during the period of this style (1490 to 1520), although it didn't last long. Despite the king's reign, the style remained influential. Architecture, sculpture, painting, precious metal works, faience, and furniture depicted the newly maritime power expressed in the architecture of churches, monasteries, palaces, and castles.Forms and naturalist-symbolic interpretations of original, erudite, or traditional themes are hallmarks of Manuelino. The window is one of the architectural elements in which this style can best be observed, both in religious and secular buildings. The Custody of Bethlehem is one example of goldsmithery, which incorporates these motifs into buildings, pillories, tombs, and even art pieces.Portuguese architecture during this time corresponded with the architectural trend known at the time as modum Yspaniae (in Hispanic style) which was translated into "to the modern" – an expression used for late Gothic architecture . In contrast, the Tudesque or German style in new Nordic architecture was prevalent at the time, as opposed to architecture in the old or Roman style . As a decorative style, it spread throughout the Portuguese Empire, to the islands of the Azores, Madeira, North African enclaves, Brazil, Goa in Portuguese India , and even Macau, China. It is evident in southern Spain, the Canary Islands, North Africa, and Peru and Mexico, which were former Spanish colonies.

Trump's beachfront Mar-a-Lago Club ordered to evacuate as Hurricane Irma approaches
By David A. Fahrenthold
David A. Fahrenthold
Reporter covering the Trump family and its business interests.
President Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club — which Trump has christened the "Winter White House" — was ordered to evacuate on Friday, along with the rest of ritzy Palm Beach island, as Hurricane Irma's powerful winds and storm surge approached the Florida coast.
The evacuation order went in place at 10 a.m. Friday, part of a series of orders that will require 155,000 people to leave their homes in Palm Beach County alone.
[Irma closes in on Florida, posing dire threat]
The Palm Beach County evacuations cover low-lying areas along Lake Okeechobee, as well as a long swath of neighborhoods along the Intracoastal Waterway and the barrier islands off Florida's east coast. On those barrier islands, some of the country's most expensive real estate sits on a narrow spit of land, with sometimes just a few hundred feet of terra firma separating the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.
The town of Palm Beach, home to Mar-a-Lago, sits on one of those narrow islands. On Friday, the town ordered all residents to be out by 5 p.m. The county said the first tropical-storm-force winds were expected to arrive on the island on Saturday afternoon.
"Mandatory evacuation for the entire town remains in effect. Please gather the essentials for three to four days, including clothing, medicine, important documents and communication devices," the town's order said. "Please relocate west of US-1 until this storm passes if you do not plan to depart the county/state."
U.S. Route 1 is a north-south highway on the mainland about a mile from Mar-a-Lago.
Mar-a-Lago is a members-only social club, with ballrooms, a few guest suites, and living quarters for Trump himself. The property stretches east-to-west across the island, touching both the ocean and the intracoastal waterway — its name means "Sea-to-Lake." The estate has existed since the 1920s, when it was built by heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post. It has been through multiple hurricanes before, but Irma is an especially strong and dangerous storm, which could push an enormous amount of seawater onto the land.
[Maps: What's in the path of Hurricane Irma]
Mar-a-Lago was already closed even before Irma approached. It operates only during the winter social "season" in Palm Beach, which runs roughly from Halloween to Mother's Day. Its staff during the off-season is relatively small: The club hires dozens of temporary foreign workers during the high season to work as cooks, waiters and housekeepers.
A large swath of the Florida coast, including Palm Beach island, is under a storm surge warning — meaning "there is a danger of life-threatening inundation from rising water moving inland," according to the National Hurricane Center.
Trump also owns three golf courses in South Florida: one in West Palm Beach, one in Jupiter, and one in Doral, west of Miami. None of the others was in a mandatory evacuation zone, at least as of Friday morning.
Of those three clubs, the one in Jupiter might be the most vulnerable to a storm surge. It sits about two miles inland from the coast but only a few thousand feet from a large creek.
In a statement Friday, a spokeswoman for the Trump Organization said that all three of those Trump golf clubs were already closed. The Doral club also includes a resort open to the public: The Trump Organization was urging anyone with reservations there to "make alternative lodging arrangements," and waiving cancellation and change fees.


Peace is always a theme of the Christmas season, sometimes in sermons, sometimes on doormats, often on greeting cards. There are wonderful accounts of literal Christmas-time manifestations of peace, like the famous one about World War I German and Allied combatants laying down their arms, exchanging cigarettes and rations, and singing carols together—only to resume their barbarous warfare on December 26.
I am not a blithe peacenik. Conflict is natural among human beings and will be until God institutes a new order in the universe. Wars will continue and physical violence will persist on every level of human relations. Still, this angelic pronouncement is not the wistful fantasy of a Pollyanna, but the express mandate of the Creator of all things, including of humankind, and it is a central tenet of the Gospel.
How then do we reconcile the ideal of God's intention for peace and man's rejection of it? How does the prayer for peace on earth jibe with the horrors being perpetrated by ISIS, the death of a teen in Ferguson, a 12-year old in Cleveland, an asthmatic in Brooklyn? For that matter, the hammer-beating of a St. Louis man, or the looting and arson of stores in protest of "police brutality?" None of this comports with peace or the pursuit of peace.
When I contemplate these seemingly irreconcilable realities, my mind often goes back to a simple and very human story. It was the early 1960s. One of my early ministry heroes, Rev. David Wilkerson, had arrived in New York City as a naïve young preacher with an outlandish vision to win violent street gangs to Christ. His first convert was a knife-wielding punk named Nicky Cruz. After Nicky gave his life to Christ he assisted "Brother Dave" in his frequent evangelistic rallies. During one of those rallies, one of Nicky's rival gang members, Israel Narvaez, was present. A brawl ensued and Nicky had Israel on the ground with a blade to his throat.
Israel complied, crying, "Praise God, man! Praise God!" Nicky relented, got himself back in order, and led his rival to the altar. Israel went on to become an evangelist, like his nemesis.
What I love about this story (whether it's embellished or not), is that it illustrates how peace and violence can coexist in the same person, often in the same moment. That's true of the world in general. The presence of God brings peace, and the future plan and purpose of God results in eternal peace. These are points of ultimate hope and the means toward realizing true, lasting, spiritual, and temporal peace—even while, in the moment, the fullness of that peace eludes us.
The great gift of the Gospel is in its proof that peace is not only possible; it's inevitable. The Gospel—manifest in the peaceful Christ Child at Bethlehem—is the cure for man's hopeless surrender to violence. Of course, that peaceful birth was met with violence, too, as Herod unleashed his infant-murdering hoards. So, while our peace is disturbed in the moment, it's assured in the future—the not-so-distant future.
This CHRISTmas my prayer for you is for you to know the hope that is Peace on Earth—and Good Will toward men . . .
Merry CHRISTmas to you and all yours.


Veneers are an excellent , less invasive, way to redesign and reshape your entire mouth. Veneers are a very thin ceramic shell that covers your existing tooth structure. In placing these new veneers on your teeth, you are able to fix the look of issues such as staining, cracked teeth, spaces, misaligned teeth, and chipped teeth.
In terms of the process to place veneers, it will take approximately two to three visits. In the first visit, we will discuss the new look and shape of your teeth and what we are going to accomplish during placement. Once we have put a plan in place, we will carefully prepare the teeth so that the veneers can fit over them. The way veneers differ from crowns is that they are substantially thinner, meaning, that the prep of the tooth is much less invasive. Crowns can sometimes lead to a substantial amount of natural tooth being lost in order for the crown to fit over the prepared tooth. Veneers are an excellent esthetic alternative. As we complete the prepping process, an impression of the newly prepared teeth will be taken. This impression will then be sent to our laboratory for the final product to be fabricated. We only utilize the highest quality lab for the fabrication of all of our work.

California Court of Appeal Rules for Lesbian Second Parent
Marking a slight extension of California precedent concerning lesbian second-parent status, a panel of the 4th District Court of Appeal ruled in L.M. v. M.G., 2012 WL 3125123 (August 2, 2012), that the former same-sex partner of an adoptive parent may seek joint custody and visitation rights with the child. Applying the Uniform Parentage Act, the court held that the paternity provisions apply, and that the original single-parent adoption decree does not detract from the claim of parental rights by the former partner.
According to the decision for the three-judge panel by Justice Joan Irion, M.G. and L.M. lived as same-sex partners from 1998 to the end of 2003. They each brought a child into the relationship born before the two women became a couple. M.G. wanted to have another child and unsuccessfully tried to conceive again using donor insemination, taking sperm from the same donor who was the progenitor of her first child, but it didn't work, and she ended up adopting a child. At that time, 2001, it was not yet definitely established under California law that same-sex couples could jointly adopt, or that the same-sex partner of an adoptive parent could subsequently adopt under the "step-parent" procured. The two women brought the adoptive child into their home and shared parental duties. The child regarded both women as his parents.
The women's relationship ended in 2003, but L.M. continued seeing the child regularly with M.G.'s approval and encouragement. M.G. testified that she allowed regular contact after the relationship between the women had ended because the child had lived in the same house with L.M. since his birth and "knew and loved her." M.G. explained, "The more people that love you the better. [L.M.] loves him.. He's been given a gift… I can't just take it away. It would be wrong."
But in October 2009 M.G. told L.M. that she planned to relocate to Europe with the child for 18 months the following summer because M.G.'s registered domestic partner would be temporarily reassigned there for her job. L.M. was opposed to this, and filed a petition on May 3, 2010, seeking to establish her parental relationship to the child under the U.P.A. and to obtain joint custody and visitation orders. Specifically, she sought a determination from the court about whether the child should be relocated to Europe.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Susan D. Huguenor, applying the U.P.A. as it has been construed by the California Supreme Court in cases involving lesbian couples and their children, determined that L.M.'s parental rights should be recognized by the court under Section 7611 of the California Family Code, because L.M. "received the Child into her home and held him out to the world as her natural child." The concept of "natural child" under the UPA, as adopted and construed in California (and now several other states) makes a distinction between biological parent and natural parent.
For purposes of paternity (which includes maternity because of gender-neutral construction of the statutory language), a same-sex co-parent of a birth mother was considered a "natural parent" in the landmark California Supreme Court ruling in Elisa B. v. Superior Court, 37 Cal.4th 108 (2005). Judge Huguenor saw no reason to treat the situation differently when one of the women had adopted the child and the other had not, and the Court of Appeal panel agreed.
M.G.'s main argument, stated various different ways, was that the adoption presents a different case, because it involves a judicial determination to establish a family consisting of the adoptive parent and the child, thus creating, in effect, a legal single-parent family. As such, she argued, her former partner, who never adopted the child, should not be entitled to seek a declaration of parental rights. The court would not accept this argument, however, noting that in Elisa B. the California Supreme Court had cut through various formalities of statutory language to advance the policy preference that a child have two legal parents if that is consistent with the facts of the child's life.
"The record contains no evidence," wrote Justice Irion, "that the issue of whether the Child could have only one parent was raised or decided in the adoption proceedings. Thus, although the adoption decree obtained by M.G. implicitly served as an adjudication that the Child's best interests were served by conferring parental status on M.G. and severing the Child's legal ties with his birth parents, there is no basis to characterize the adoption decree as establishing that, regardless of future developments, the child should be limited to only one parent. It is now well established that a child raised in a same-sex relationship may have two mothers, and our Supreme Court has announced a 'public policy favoring that a child have two parents rather than one.' Against this background, we reject M.G.'s interpretation of the adoption decree as a judgment establishing that the Child may have only one mother." (Emphasis in original).
Also, because L.M. was not seeking to change M.G.'s status as the Child's parent, there was no need to examine "conflicting presumptions" about parentage, because the court saw no conflict. Since a child can have two mothers under California law, the parental claims of M.G. and L.M. were not "mutually exclusive." Furthermore, the single parent adoption decree was not, in the court's opinion, a reason to rebut the parentage presumption in favor of L.M. that arose from the circumstance of her accepting the child in her home, providing parental care and holding the child out to the world as her natural child. "The state policy in favor of providing a child with two parents has led courts to conclude that it would not be an 'appropriate action' to rebut a parentage presumption when that presumption arises in favor of a second parent of a child raised by a same-sex couple and there is no other person competing for the second parent position," Justice Irion commented, and the court rejected the idea that this case should be decided differently from cases in which one member of the couple was a birth mother.
Thus, the court of appeal affirmed Judge Huguenor's ruling grant joint legal custody to M.G. and L.M., and designating M.G.'s residence as the Child's primary residence. As to the European relocation, the judge permitted M.G. to travel to Europe with the child for the 2010-11 school year, noting certain visitation rights for L.M. during that time, and ordered a follow-up hearing to determine whether the stay in Europe should be extended "to the full intended period of 18 months." Thus, although L.M.'s original motivation for bringing the proceeding – to try to block the relocation – had failed, she did obtain recognition of her parental status and joint-custody, which would entitle her to maintain contact with her son and have a continuing say in his upbringing.
L.M. is represented by Sandler, Lasry, Laube, Byer & Valdez LLP and Edward I. Silverman. M.G. is represented by Stephen Temko, Jeffrey W. Doeringer and David Lee Moore. Justice Aaron concurred with Justice Irion's opinion, and Justice Huffman added a brief statement concurring with the "majority opinion" as "an accurate statement of California law" and "consistent with the direction provided by Elisa B." Justice Huffman thus "concurred in the result," without explaining a failure to just sign Justice Irion's opinion, leaving a slight puzzle for this reader.

Come Sail Away – The Styx Anthology
Sir Sly
Gold (2015 film)
Come Sail Away – The Styx Anthology is a musical album by Styx, released on May 4, 2004. It is a compilation consisting of two compact discs and contains a thorough history of the band. The album encompasses many of the band's most popular and significant songs, ranging from the band's first single from their self-titled album, "Best Thing," through the song "One with Everything," a track included on Styx's most recent album at the time of release, Cyclorama.
The most notable omission from the compilation is "Don't Let It End," Dennis DeYoung's top-ten single from their 1983 album, Kilroy Was Here.
This is the only Styx compilation album to date to combine the original versions of songs from the band's early Wooden Nickel albums with their later material. Their Wooden Nickel breakout hit "Lady" was included on the 1995 Greatest Hits collection, but as a note-for-note re-recording, labelled "Lady '95." As such, this is the first truly career-spanning collection for the band ever compiled.

Sir Sly is an American indie pop band, formerly known as "The Royal Sons", formed and based in Los Angeles, California, United States. The band is fronted by vocalist Landon Jacobs with instrumentalists Jason Suwito and Hayden Coplen accompanying him.

Their original band gathered over $13,000 in a Kickstarter campaign, released an album, and then split up. Now they have come together under the new band name of "Sir Sly"
Their debut single, "Ghost", was released on March 4, 2013, on the National Anthem and Neon Gold labels followed by the single "Gold" on May 21, 2013. "Gold" peaked at No. 30 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and No. 45 on the Rock Airplay chart. "Gold" is also featured in the video game, MLB 14: The Show.
They gained international fame after the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag accolade trailer was released in which their song "Gold" was used.

Gold. is a German experimental short documentary film directed by Alexander Tuschinski. It intercuts abandoned 19th century gold-mining towns in the desert with sequoia trees in a forest. The film had its world premiere at Mykonos Biennale on July 3, 2015, where it was screened in competition and received the Biennale's Golden Pelican Award by Lydia Venieri. It had its German premiere at Berlin Short Film Festival on July 4, 2015.
The film is set to the fourth movement of Beethoven's seventh symphony, which has been called "Apotheosis of Dance" by Richard Wagner. The director's intention was to intercut nature and human structures to show nature overtaking. It was filmed with a tight schedule and the crew travelled long distances in a short amount of time to get many different shots needed. Tuschinski edited the film from six hours of material from "countless camera-angles", as most shots are shown only very briefly due to the often rapid editing. Planning the film, he was inspired by the early works of his friend and mentor Hugo Niebeling that connect cinematoraphy and music in a very direct way.

Home / Blog / A Closer Look At Corduroy
How You Can Capture The Style Of Peaky Blinders
Posted On: Tuesday, December 12th, 2017 0 comments
Corduroy is perhaps one of the most underrated cotton shirting fabrics in the world of fashion. For many people, it's not necessarily associated with groundbreaking style. But it should be! Corduroy has a long and fascinating history behind it, and only this year it's in the midst of a stunning comeback from some of the world's biggest luxury brands.
The Story Behind Corduroy
Here's something you may not have known – corduroy is actually almost 2000 years old. It evolved from an ancient cotton weave called fustian, which was manufactured and used in Ancient Egypt – surprisingly enough in a city called Fustat, not far from Cairo – in around 200AD. Fast forward centuries later, halfway around the world, and it was still being widely used in 18th Century England, where it was viewed as practical and stylish due to its properties of being warm, quick-drying and hard wearing.
At some point, a century or so later, it acquired a reputation of being associated with the poor and the working classes, with higher social classes referring to it with disdain as 'the poor man's velvet'. That didn't quite kill it off entirely, but it wasn't until the 1970s that it would see a resurgence in public popularity. Eventually, corduroy reclaimed an international image of being very much a British invention, becoming to England what tartan is to Scotland. It was even known as the Manchester Cloth in some parts of Europe.
Celebrity endorsement from cultural giants such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones certainly didn't hurt, and before long it earned another name for itself, becoming a symbol of the creative industry. Now, fast forward again to 2017, and it's rapidly becoming bigger than ever.
What's The Appeal?
Essentially corduroy is a ridged form of velvet, hence its historical moniker as the Poor Man's Velvet. Its characteristic striped effect is formed by tufted cords, otherwise known as 'wales' (not the seafaring kind!). The size of the wale also affects the width of the cords – so basically, the lower the wale, the thicker the cords. The qualities that have made it so attractive to several civilisations throughout history all still apply: namely versatility, durability, warmth and its undeniably lustrous aspect.
With its historic association with the working classes and impoverished artists, it's interesting to see that this link isn't necessarily being challenged in today's fashion world. Instead, they're being subverted; instead of being 'old' and 'dusty', corduroy is now often seen as vintage and chic. The fabric's strong history and cultural connotations alone make it an attractive option for many people, especially in the North of England, and it still has a strong presence in the creative, academia and bohemian scenes.
Experts have observed that these meanings, as well as corduroy's tactile and visual appeal, all combine to give the shirting fabric an intriguing emotional value – which, when you think about it, is exactly what good personal style does. Our Haworth Stone Cotton Fabric is a prime example of this. Its unassuming stone colour gives it a sophisticated edge, and its notably high wale count imbues it with an intricately fine quality – it's this latter quality which leads to our Haworth cotton shirting fabric sometimes being referred to as 'micro-cord'.

He assured the gathering that if the SAD came to power then after five years even they would not recognise Bathinda as it would see major changes due to the ongoing and new development projects.
He also made an emotional appeal to the people saying the SAD understood their problems and pains while the Congress knew only about taking their votes and later disappeared from the scene. So they should extend their blessings to them, he added.

Sukhbir also announced introduction of city AC bus service in Bathinda soon to meet the increasing demand for local transport. He also said that special buses would be introduced to link the city with the mandis of the district.
He also said the Punjab government was going to organise an international hockey tournament of seven countries this year. Of the seven matches, one match each would be held at Bathinda and Faridkot.
Sukhbir Badal said the state government would also construct astro-turf hockey stadium in Bathinda at a cost of Rs 15 crore. He said work on Rs 50 crore water supply and sewerage project in Bathinda would also start soon.
Speaking about a civilian airport at Bathinda, he said its foundation stone would be laid by the Civil Aviation Minister about a month later. After the completion of the project, the planes would take off and land here.
Earlier, he also laid the foundation stones for the renovation of the local Sports Stadium, a project for a 100 feet approach road, four-laning of Bathinda – Jassi Pauwali road and works at Industrial Focal Point here.
Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal said that in the coming Punjab budget, special funds for the welfare of women, especially widows, would be kept aside.
Among others who were present or spoke on the occasion included Mayor of the Municipal Corporation, Bathinda, Baljit Singh Beer Behman, area in-charge of SAD (B) for Bathinda (Urban) Assembly constituency Sarup Chand Singla and district president of BJP (Urban) Sham Lal Bansal.
Ghudda (Bathinda), February 17
Former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has no vision for development in the state. This is the reason why he is not telling the people what he will do on the development front for them in the future.
Replying to a question, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal further said that on the other hand, the SAD had a great vision for development in Punjab as they were not only doing a lot in this direction but were also telling the people what they had done and what they would do in the future.
Sukhbir said Capt Amarinder Singh was saying that he had not seen development in Punjab during the SAD-BJP regime. But how could he (Capt) see the development when during the last four years he had not visited various parts of the state where development had taken place, asked Sukhbir. However, he stated that the Capt was wrong in saying that the Assembly elections would be preponed.
Commenting on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's meeting with TV editors in which the PM said he felt sometimes helpless due to 'coalition compulsion', Sukhbir said the SAD too was running a coalition government but it had a common agenda with its alliance partner and there were no compulsions. So, such statement on the part of the PM was unfortunate, he added.
The Deputy Chief Minister was here today in connection with a political rally in the Bathinda (Rural) Assembly constituency. Before addressing the rally, he laid foundation stones for some development works here, including a hospital complex, Sports School and NCC complex.
In view of the ensuing Assembly elections, Sukhbir also urged the party workers to end factionalism in the party at the village-level. He said if the SAD is strong, then nobody could stop it from ruling the state for the next 25 years. Regarding factionalism in the Badal family, he said there was no factionalism in his family now.
With regard to the allotment of SAD tickets to some aspirants (including police personnel or bureaucrats) during the Assembly elections, Sukhbir without naming Manpreet Badal, commented that a new shop had opened that had enough tickets to give. When asked that Manpreet had stated that after 11 months there would be rule of law, in place of a person, in the state, he said "Ask him, during the past four years whose regime was in Punjab and what had been happening in Gidderbaha?."
The Deputy Chief Minister also said the state government had sanctioned a Rs 700 crore project for making the Khalas (small drains) pucca to irrigate the fields.
Among others who were present on the occasion included area in-charge of the SAD for Bathinda (Rural) Assembly constituency) Darshan Singh Kotfatta, chairman of Central Cooperative Bank, Muktsar Tejinder Singh Midukherra, ex-MLA Gurjant Singh Kutiwal and chairperson of Bathinda Zila Parishad Rajwinder Kaur.
The local police today thwarted the attempt of Asha Rani, a local resident, twice to meet Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal here by overpowering her first outside the local stadium where the Deputy CM laid a foundation stone and later, outside a marriage palace on the Bathinda-Barnala road where he addressed a rally. She protested against the action of the police on both the occasions.
The woman alleged that the CIA staff had falsely implicated her son in a murder case and therefore, she wanted to meet Sukhbir Badal to get justice.
However, it is learnt that the police was of the view that she would protest before the Deputy CM, so it prevented her from meeting the latter.

It came to light during the nine-day vocational beekeeping training camp organised by the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) at the Malwal Qadim village of this district for farmers under the supervision of technical expert Yuvraj Singh Pandha, assistant professor (plant protection). The camp began on February 9 and concluded today.
About 30 farmers including women belonging to the Ferozepur, Faridkot and Tarn Taran districts of Punjab participated in the training camp and showed keen interest in beekeeping because of better prices of honey in the market.
"Due to the less number of sprays of insecticides on Bt cotton plants, the scope of stationary beekeeping on this crop has increased as cotton is a major source of nectar and pollen for honeybees during the rainy season," pointed out Pandha.
"To promote stationary and migratory beekeeping as subsidiary and full-time occupation among them, the skill-oriented vocational training course has been organised," he added. The trainees were apprised of the historical background and development of beekeeping, characteristics of various species of honeybees, management of colonies of Italian honeybee, life-cycle, behaviour and biology of different castes of honeybees, characteristics of honey from different floral sources, utility of other products of bees like wax, venom and royal jelly.
They were also informed about different schemes of the state government. They were told about the fact that 50 per cent subsidy was being given by the department of horticulture (Punjab) for beekeeping.
He said due to emerging importance of beekeeping and pollination of crops by honeybees, a three-day national-level honey festival-cum-workshop would be organised at the Punjab Agricultural University (Ludhiana) from February 22 to 24.
Bt Cotton
Praful C. Nagpal
Notably, the peak sowing season is considered between April 15-May 15. "Last year, during the sowing season, one packet of quality imported Bt cotton seed was sold out by the dealers to the farmers allegedly in the black market. Some of retailers had charged an exorbitant price up to Rs 1200 per packet (each packet weighing 450 grams) against the MRP of Rs 900 per packet," alleged the farmers.
Besides, the possibility of sale of spurious seed during the peak season also cannot be ruled out and sometimes the innocent farmers are trapped by the seed mafia, alleged Harbans Singh of village Gulaba Bhaini, Pritam Singh of villaged Pharmanwali and Baldev Raj of village Mohammad Pira. A cross-section of farmers pointed out that artificial shortage of good quality MNC seed is also created during the sowing season to fleece them. Owing to the high yield and price of cotton, there is a possibility of more farmers switching over to the cotton crop from traditional ones in the coming days, said a farmer Satish Dhingra of village Mohammad Pira. "Due to the rising demand, the government should allow the farmers advance booking of the Bt cotton seed," he added.
Dhingra also said ever since the introduction of the Bt cotton in the state, the farmers had adopted a practice of advance booking of the seed with the dealers and retailer verbally and they used to pay in advance for it. However, this year the dealers are hesitant of carrying on old practice of verbal advance booking using lame excuses.
The farmers demand that the Punjab Agriculture University and State Agriculture Department should come forward for the marketing of standard quality Bt cotton seed and ensure adequate and smooth supply of seed to meet the farmers' demand. "We cannot force a private retailer to enter the contract with the farmers for the sale of cotton seed in the absence of any police. However, we can ensure transparent and smooth sale of cotton seed during the coming season," maintained Chief Agriculture Officer, Ferozepur, Bakhshish Singh Chahal.
Dalit youth 'tortured' by cops in Moga

The MLA came to the district hospital today to meet the youth. He was surprised to see that he was standing outside the emergency ward with his relatives. Brar talked to the doctors and got him re-admitted to the hospital. Talking to The Tribune, Brar demanded that medical tests of the youth should be conducted at PGIMR (Chandigarh) as the local health authorities had come under the pressure of the local police.
Meanwhile, the victim Bittu, son of Kora Singh, a resident of Vadda Ghar village of this district, reiterated that he was bashed up in the police post and was being pressurised for a compromise. He denied the contention of the police that he was involved in the theft case.
One Ajmer Singh and his cousin Balaur Singh had complained against him of stealing Rs 9,000. SSP Sneh Deep Sharma denied the allegations levelled by the youth.
The SSP said that senior officials had spoken to the village sarpanch and others, who also denied the allegations.
No internal or external injury were reported in the medical report, he added.
The injured were rushed to Nihal Singh Wala civil hospital, where after first aid, they were discharged by the doctors.
The six-year-old child who died in the mishap was identified as Alla Baksh.
The jeep driver fled from the spot. The police have registered a case of negligent driving, leading to the accident, against him.
His wife Babli Rani said the miscreants first pointed the revolver at their 13-year-old grandson and later shot Sohan Lal, who was injured in his right thigh.
DSP Karamjeet Singh said the statement of the victim and his wife was yet to be recorded and he would not like to make any comment before that. — TNS

Discussion in 'Olympus Cameras' started by billinvegas, May 18, 2015.
does this stabilization work when a Nikon G to M 4/3 adapter is used?
Does it require a menu setting?
In the stabilization menu press the info button to set the correct focal length and it will function using whichever mode it's set to.
If using a zoom lens, I assume you would enter the longer focal length - correct?
If you only use the zoom at the long end use that value, if you actually use it as a zoom use the widest end. It will compensate and help all of the time at the wide however it will under correct for movement at the long end and won't over correct like if you use a high value and then shoot wide (which causes blurry images even at higher shutter speeds).
You should try as much as possible to input the correct focal length. If there is no need for IBIS a better option could be to just turn it off especially with wide lenses.
actual focal length. even native m43 lenses are identified by its inherent property. e.g. the 12-40mm is recognized by camera as 12-40 , not 24-80.
FOV equivalency is only for us humans to have frame of reference.
for zoom lens put the value closest to the FL that you intend to use, otherwise stabilization will be much less effective.
