Florida Men Charged with Falsifying Voter Registration Forms
by Grant Holcomb | Nov 27, 2021
Two Jacksonville men have been charged with registering dead people to vote. Devin Deangelo King and Jordan Rayeshaun Daniels have both been arrested. The motive does not appear to be political, but personal financial gain.
"This was a group working with what we call a third-party organization," said Duval County Supervisor of Elections Mike Hogan. "… We did not see anything political about it. It was, I think, people who were greedy. There's an incentive there to get as many as you can in."
Hogan maintained that the discovery of more than 60 dead voter registrations does not indicate lapses in the Duval County elections integrity process, overall.
"It just shows the diligence of the people who are working through this process to make sure that everything is right, not just the accuracy of the vote count, but the validity of our voter roll," Hogan said. "You have to be diligent to make sure you keep accurate records, and this is proof that we can find and eliminate it."
According to the state attorney's office, investigators were set to meet with the Duval County Supervisor of Elections back in August with the intention of reviewing voter inconsistencies. Flagged voter registration applications were turned over to the investigators.
"As we go down the list, the first thing we will be checking is the driver's license number and the driver's license number and the names match but when we looked at the signature, it didn't match the signature on our file," Hogan said to Action News Jax. "Then we noticed there was a pattern and we found multiple of those."
The business model for being paid for registering voters is done on a per-application basis. The two men charged and arrested were intending to register as many people as possible in order to get paid per application.
"The security of voter registration and elections is a serious matter and of paramount importance today," said Hogan. "It is vital that the voters of Duval County, the State of Florida, and the nation as a whole trust the registration and election process, from start to finish. The discovery of these attempts at fraud shows that the system here in Duval County and all of Florida is secure and trustworthy. Voters can have confidence that their information is secure and will be counted accurately."
This comes on the heels of Florida's Legislature passing new election integrity laws, upheld in court, based on 2012 grand jury recommendations related to a voter fraud case in Miami-Dade at the time.

Yesterday brought us an overload of information on Axiom Verge's retail release for Wii U. We learned why the game has been held up so long, as well as the plans to move forward and release the game. There was also another tidbit in there that I want to make sure people caught wind of, as I feel it's the most important aspect of the whole situation. It's not a pleasant topic to discuss, but one that deserves to be heard.
As the discussion in the video below is of a serious matter, I disabled monetization as soon as the video went live. Whether you share my video or not doesn't matter. What's important is that the story itself is shared, no matter how you choose to do that. Share my video, share a post in your own words, retweet someone else's coverage. As long as the word is spreading, that's what matters.
If you like what you see, we'd love to have your subscribe!
My son had jaundice at birth. You have to cover their entire body and face with this mask that glows like a lightsaber, with this barely aware creature that has no idea what is going on. You wait 40 weeks and your kid comes out and you hear something isn't right and your heart literally sinks through the floor. I can only imagine what Mr. Happ is going through, and then to throw this on top of that is disgusting. This really just makes me very sad.
Aren't humans just the best?
I feel for ya dude. I haven't been posting or keeping up with stuff for months because my youngest of two boys was diagnosed with a deadly as crap rare form of brain cancer in November and it's really sucking. He had his third birthday in the hospital almost dying from an infection he caught during chemo. I just saw your post and thought I'd sign in for the first time in a while to say I understand man and I'm sorry for your family having to go through that.
That is terrible to hear.
Please, jaundice is relatively minor. Sending positive energy your way. I can't even relate to what you are going through.
If it means anything I'm definitely gonna try to buy his physical game on Wii U. Axiom Verge is an absolute gem.


On today's edition of Soundwaves 10@10, we'll hear songs from iconic artists who all had one thing in common: they thought they were to the point in their careers where they could stretch, or experiment, or grow lazy — or worse, cover classic songs! From Madonna and Tom Jones, to Michael Jackson, Elvis and Styx, these are the moments when it all went wrong!
This was a lot of fun. Michael Jackson had another epic mistake, as far as I'm concerned: The Girl Is Mine (the DOGGONED girl is mine.) Yeesh. It doesn't count as a mistake for Paul McCartney because his taste is questionable anyway, IMO.

Lydie Salvayre (geborene Arjona; * 1948 in Autainville, Département Loir-et-Cher) ist eine französische Medizinerin und Schriftstellerin. Ihre Werke sind in mehr als 20 Sprachen übersetzt worden. Für ihren Roman Pas pleurer wurde sie 2014 mit dem Prix Goncourt ausgezeichnet.

Leben
Lydie Arjona wuchs als Tochter geflohener spanischer Republikaner in Auterive in der Nähe von Toulouse auf. Ihre Mutter stammt aus Katalonien, ihr Vater aus Andalusien. Mit Spanisch als Muttersprache lernte sie Französisch in der Crèche. Nach dem Bac studierte sie moderne Literatur und Spanisch an der Universität Toulouse. Sie schloss 1969 ein Medizinstudium an und spezialisierte sich auf Psychiatrie. In Marseille und in Bouc-Bel-Air war sie bis Ende der 1970er Jahre in der Psychiatrie berufstätig. Nach ihrer Scheidung 1983 zog Lydie Salvayre nach Paris und arbeitete als Pädiaterin in einer Praxis in Argenteuil.

Werk
Anfang der 1980er Jahre erschienen ihre ersten literarischen Arbeiten in regionalen Zeitschriften, ihr erster Roman La déclaration (1990) erhielt den Debütantenpreis Prix Hermès du premier roman. Brigitte Louichon hat in ihrer Studie von 2002 herausgearbeitet, welcher Art die verschiedenen Formen von Subversion sind, mit denen Salvayre auf die Konventionen mündlicher Rede Druck ausübt ("que Salvayre fair subir aux conventions des discours oraux"): Entweder baut sie in öffentliche Diskurse intime Aspekte aus einem Privatleben ein oder sie verwendet für mündliche Rede rhetorische Muster und Sprachregister, die der Schriftsprache oder sogar der literarischen Sprache zuzuordnen wären. Salvayres Absicht sei es, so Louichon, denjenigen eine Stimme zu geben, die der eigenen Stimme beraubt worden sind. Da es ihren Stimmen bei Salvayre dennoch an Glaubwürdigkeit mangele, statte die Autorin die Stimmen mit all der Macht aus, die der Literatur zur Verfügung steht.

Salvayre hat seit 2002 außer Romanen auch Theaterstücke veröffentlicht. Der Roman Hymne (2011) basiert auf dem Leben von Jimi Hendrix. 2014 wurde ihr Roman Pas pleurer über das Leben ihrer Mutter mit dem Prix Goncourt ausgezeichnet.

Salvayres Werke sind in mehr als zwanzig Sprachen übersetzt worden.

La Vie commune (1991)

Suzanne ist um die 60 und erzählt in einem Monolog, was ihr in der letzten Zeit bei der Arbeit passiert: Eine Neue, mit der sie nun ihr Büro teilen muss, raubt ihr den Nerv, weil sie anders ist. Und weil sie jünger ist und weiß, wie man einen Computer benutzt. In dieser quälenden Situation wird der Leser dazu gebracht, mit beiden Seiten zu sympathisieren.

Pas pleurer (2014)
In Pas pleurer werden historische Ereignisse aus dem spanischen Bürgerkrieg verflochten mit der außergewöhnlichen Geschichte der 15-jährigen Montse während des anarchistischen Sommers 1936 in Barcelona: Weil zwei junge Leute ihrer sozialen und politischen Herkunft nach verschieden sind, kommen sie in dieser Zeit trotz ihrer Liebe füreinander nicht zusammen. Der Roman fußt auf persönlichen Erzählungen aus dem Leben der katalanischen Mutter der Autorin sowie Augenzeugenberichten über die grausame Verfolgung der kommunistischen Bevölkerung mit voller Zustimmung der Kirchenvertreter, deren Verlauf Georges Bernanos in Die großen Friedhöfe unter dem Mond (1938) schildert. Am Beispiel des Bruders von Montse, Josep, werden auch Lynchaktionen der Republikaner untereinander in Erinnerung gerufen. Der Titel des Romans stammt aus einem Brief der russischen Lyrikerin Marina Zwetajewa.

Stil und Leseerlebnis
Es sind zwei Perspektiven miteinander verflochten zu hören: Den Zeitzeugen Bernanos ekelt es und er prangert an, wie die Nationalisten "die schlechten Armen" ("les mauvais pauvres") terrorisieren, während die damals jugendliche Zeitzeugin Montse, selbst "mauvaise pauvre", sich kaum mehr erinnert, außer dass diese begeisternden Erlebnisse am Beginn der Befreiungsbewegung zu den intensivsten ihres Lebens zählen. Zwei Redeweisen, zwei Visionen, die mit unserer Gegenwart auf merkwürdige Weise zusammenklingen, wodurch die Erzählkunst von Lydie Salvayre mit aller Kraft zum Ausdruck kommt: zwischen Heftigkeit und Leichtigkeit, zwischen Brutalität und Feingefühl. Die Figuren des Romans wirken stark überzeichnet in ihrer Persönlichkeit, was die Autorin damit begründet, dass sich in einer Zeit des Bürgerkriegs persönliche Einstellungen radikalisieren, religiöse wie politische. Salvayres Können ist getragen von einer Prosa, die einem einerseits makellos erscheint und einem andererseits in fröhlichem Ton hart zuzusetzen vermag.

Rezeption
Salvayres Werke nehmen einen festen Platz in der französischen Gegenwartsliteratur ein.

Whiplash is a common injury that occurs in automobile accidents, particularly when a car is rear-ended. This impact causes a person's head to jerk forward and backward quickly, putting a considerable amount of strain on the vertebrae and muscles in the neck and upper back. Whiplash was first diagnosed in people who used early forms of train transport due to the chugging forward and backward motion. This leads to misalignment and muscle spasms that result in a significant amount of pain and limited mobility.
Following a car accident, it's important to seek medical assessment immediately and begin treatment for whiplash even if symptoms have not yet developed. In some cases, whiplash symptoms don't develop for up to 24-48 hours following an accident.
Why is it important to have early treatment for whiplash?
Whiplash treatment contributes to $43 billion in accident-related medical costs each year. As with almost all medical conditions, the earlier treatment begins, the more likely it is to be effective. Since nearly 10% of whiplash patients end up with some form of disability, it's in the patient's best interest to have assessment and treatment as early as possible to begin the healing process, reduce the amount of pain, and avoid excessive medical bills and long-term issues. Additionally, with prompt treatment, patients are able to get back to normal activities more quickly and avoid missing time at work or social activities.
How is whiplash treated by the doctors at Full of Life Chiropractic?
The doctors at Full of Life Chiropractic specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of whiplash. With expert manual exams and X-ray motion studies, they diagnose any misalignment caused by whiplash before a patient even begins to experience symptoms. Then, the doctors apply chiropractic adjustments, massage, and suggest rehabilitative stretches and exercises to begin the healing process. Patients not only experience significantly less pain, but take the steps to protect their total body health. The pain, mobility issues, and potential disability associated with whiplash can have lasting negative effects on a patient's overall well-being. Patients are known to develop depression and other physical conditions, including weight gain and misalignment in other parts of the body following untreated whiplash.

Publication - Consultation paper
Scotland's population needs and migration policy: discussion paper
External Affairs Directorate
Equality and rights, International
Discussion paper on evidence, policy and powers for the Scottish Parliament in relation to migration.
60 page PDF
Ministerial Foreword
Chapter One: Why migration is crucial to Scotland's future prosperity
Chapter Two: Why current migration policy is not appropriate for Scotland
Chapter Three: How a tailored migration system for Scotland could operate
Technical Annex
1. Scotland is a progressive outward looking nation. We recognise that migration strengthens our society and our nation benefits from the skills, the experience and the expertise of those individuals who have chosen to live, work and study in Scotland. Future migration systems should ensure that Scotland can welcome people within Europe and from elsewhere who want to study, live, work and raise their families here. This paper is intended to contribute to an open and positive discussion on how future migration to Scotland should be managed in a way that achieves that.
2. Scotland has a long history of both welcoming people who have come here, either through choice or need, but also of Scots being migrants themselves. In fact, the dominant feature of population change through Scotland's history has been out‑migration. This is in contrast to the rest of the UK. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, when England and Wales saw strong in-migration, almost 6% of the population left Scotland in each decade. Scotland also experienced population decline throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s whereas the UK as a whole saw almost constant growth in population over this period.

3. One of the earliest policy challenges the Scottish Parliament concerned itself with after it was reconvened in 1999 was population decline, particularly rural depopulation, and the welcome fact that more of our population were living longer. The cross-party consensus that emerged in the Scottish Parliament and at Westminster of the different pressures that Scotland faces relative to the rest of the UK, led to an early example of UK policy in a reserved area responding positively within the devolution settlement
4. The previous Labour and Liberal Democrat coalition government in Scotland, working with the then UK Government, introduced Fresh Talent in 2005, a scheme administered by the Home Office that allowed international graduates of Scottish universities to remain in the country after the end of their course of study to live and work for up to two years. [2] This differentiation of migration policy for Scotland was intended to both support economic growth and mitigate demographic pressure. Fresh Talent recognised that different parts of the UK had different needs and expectations of migration.
5. The Fresh Talent scheme took place at much the same time as Scotland also benefited from the expansion of free movement of people within the European Union. From 2001, Scotland became a country of sustained net inward migration for the first time since records began, driven by the free movement of EEA nationals coming to Scotland to live, work and study. This was reinforced by the 2004 enlargement of the EU, which included eight new member states from central and eastern Europe.
6. Today, there are an estimated 219,000 EU citizens living in Scotland, alongside an estimated 135,000 other international migrants. These 355,000 non-British nationals living in Scotland represent 7% of Scotland's population. The majority of migrants in Scotland come here to work, to join family, or to study.
Figure ii: Population by non- UK nationality, Scotland, year ending June 2017
Source: Annual Population Survey, Office for National Statistics, July 2016 to June 2017
7. Migration, and particularly EU citizens moving to Scotland, has helped mitigate these long-term demographic challenges, but the challenges still remain. Projections from the National Records of Scotland ( NRS) and the Office of National Statistics ( ONS) show that natural change, the number of births minus the number of deaths, is projected to be negative in Scotland each year for the next 25 years. There are nearly 11,000 more deaths than births expected in 2041. All of the projected increase in Scotland's population over the next 25 years is due to migration. Any move that limits migration to Scotland therefore has the potential to seriously harm Scotland's economy.
8. The UK Government has stated its intention to leave the European Single Market and Customs Union upon leaving the EU and to end free movement of people. The Scottish Government believes that both Scotland and the UK's best interests are served by the UK remaining in the European Single Market and continuing to benefit from free movement of people.
9. Even with current free movement of people between Scotland and the rest of the EU, it is clear that UK policy on migration does not meet Scotland's needs. It is now appropriate to explore the devolution of powers on migration to ensure that Scotland can continue to attract migrants from Europe and around the world to live, work, study and invest here and make a long-term contribution to society as members of our communities.
10. The case for this is clear and there is already broad agreement within the Scottish Parliament and elsewhere on the need for a different approach. The Home Affairs Committee report on migration policy was open to regional approaches in different parts of the UK, the Economic Affairs Committee of the House of Lords saw merit in a differentiated system for Scotland, and the Scottish Affairs Committee concluded that a tailored approach was needed for Scotland.
11. The Scottish Government wants to see continued free movement of people from Europe, alongside a tailored approach for Scotland in relation to international migration. The case becomes more pressing and urgent if UK policy results in a hard Brexit that sees Scotland taken out of the European Single Market and Customs Union, and free movement of people ended or curtailed.
12. The Scottish Government's 2017-18 Programme for Government [3] included a commitment to publish a series of evidence-based discussion papers setting out the case for further extending the powers of the Scottish Parliament in a number of key areas including in relation to migration. This discussion paper will explore why it is vital to be able to attract migrants from across Europe and the world to settle in Scotland; why the current UK Government policy is so harmful to Scotland's interests; and how a tailored approach to migration with more powers for the Scottish Parliament could operate.
About this paper
13. Chapter one explores why it is important to economic growth and prosperity that Scotland is able to continue to grow the population and in particular the working age population. It highlights:
demographic projections prepared by NRS and ONS;
economic and fiscal forecasts by the Scottish Fiscal Commission;
new modelling presented in this paper of the economic impact of migration; and
the social benefit of migration to Scotland, including the positive contribution it makes in our rural communities.
14. Chapter two sets out why current UK policy on migration is having a detrimental impact in Scotland. It recommends that the UK Government should:
abolish the net migration target, or at the very least migration to Scotland should not be counted in it;
take a different approach to family migration, and improve the rights of people in Scotland to bring close family into the country with them;
review the immigration skills charge, which is an unhelpful burden on employers;
give the Scottish Ministers a formal role in deciding on the Scotland shortage occupation list; and
reintroduce the post-study work visa as recommended by the Smith Commission.
15. Chapter three looks at options for future migration schemes in the UK. It concludes that:
Scotland should continue to benefit from free movement of people from the EU by the UK remaining in the European Single Market and Customs Union after Brexit, as set out in Scotland's Place in Europe: People, Jobs and Investment;
devolution of some aspects of the immigration system could allow the Scottish Government, accountable to the Scottish Parliament, to set criteria for a new international migration route to start to meet Scotland's most acute needs; and
there is an opportunity to rethink the UK immigration system to design a new regional approach, with powers for the Scottish Parliament to meet Scotland's full range of needs, drawing on international examples where this works well.
16. Finally, the Technical Annex contains the details of new economic modelling which shows that reduced migration as a result of the UK leaving the EU could reduce Scotland's GDP by almost £5 billion per year by 2040 – but that there are potential economic gains if a different approach can sustain or increase migration to Scotland.
Note on terminology
17. This paper uses the term 'migrant'. When discussing the flow of migration, this refers to a person not currently resident in Scotland who moves to Scotland with the intention of remaining here for more than 12 months. When discussing the population of migrants in Scotland, it refers to the number of people who have come to Scotland in this way.
18. UK nationals can therefore be migrants to Scotland if they are resident elsewhere (in the UK or abroad) and move to Scotland, and would be counted in migration flows. When talking about the population of migrants in Scotland, we normally refer only to non- UK nationals, split between EU and other international migration.
19. Irish nationals have particular rights within the Common Travel Area to live and work in the UK that are separate from their right to free movement as EU citizens, and the UK Government has committed to maintain the Common Travel Area after the UK leaves the EU. As they are EU citizens, we refer to Irish nationals within the flow of migration from the EU and within the population of EU migrants in Scotland.
20. EU citizens, EEA nationals and Swiss nationals have rights under treaties and directives governing the European Single Market and free movement of people to live and work in other EU Member States, countries within the EEA and Switzerland. These are reciprocal rights that British nationals also currently enjoy. The current arrangements facilitate free movement across the Single Market for all EU and EEA citizens with an initial right of residence in a host State for up to three months. Beyond then an individual and their family members have rights to reside if they are a worker, self-employed, economically self-sufficient, a student with sufficient resources to support themselves, or a jobseeker who has a genuine chance of gaining employment.
21. The rights-based approach of free movement is different to the rules-based approach to immigration in the UK. EU citizens exercising these rights would therefore not normally be classed as migrants, but we describe them here in this way when it aids clarity. We normally refer to EU citizens and EU migration rather than EEA, unless greater clarity is required, as the number of EEA nationals and Swiss nationals in Scotland is low. We sometimes refer to groups of Member States who joined the EU at a particular point using terms such as EU15. These terms are explained in footnotes where they are first used.
22. International migrants from other countries do not generally have special rights to live and work in the UK, and their ability to do so is governed by the UK immigration rules. Most international migrants in Scotland are issued with a visa under one of the tiers of the UK points-based system. The other main route for international migrants is family migration. A small proportion of international migrants in Scotland entered by seeking asylum and there are particular humanitarian obligations in relation to refugees and asylum seekers.
23. The points-based system for international migration was first introduced in the UK in 2008 and consists of five tiers, each of which can contain multiple categories of visa. Tier 1 is for high value and exceptional talent, including entrepreneurs and investors. Tier 2 is for skilled workers sponsored by an employer. Tier 3 is for low‑skilled workers, but has never been implemented. Tier 4 is for students, and Tier 5 is for temporary workers.

An Appraisal of the Archaeological Resources of the Lafayette and Patoka Reservoirs and a Report of the Test Excavation Conducted at Site HR 11 in Harrison County Indiana
Part of the Breeden Site (12HR11) 1966 project
Author(s): James O. Bellis
The proposed archaeological surface surveys and test excavations were conducted under the terms of Contract No. 14-10-0529-2880, and the report was submitted to the National Park Service and the United States Department of the Interior. Surveys and test excavations were conducted in the Lafayette Reservoir, Wildcat Creek, Patoka Reservoir, and the Patoka River areas in Indiana. The surveys began on June 14, and completed on July 8, 1966. The objective of these surveys was to locate and evaluate, for possible salvage, all prehistoric and historic site resources within the limits of the proposed reservoirs.
The Breeden Site, 12HR11, is located in Harrison County, Indiana, and extends along the bank of the Ohio River. Though James O. Bellis was the primary site leader, he expressed his indebtedness to Robert Mulvey of West Lafayette, Indiana. The Breeden Site was known for many years by collectors in the area, but was officially first reported in July, 1964, by John Dorwin, a graduate student at Indiana University. In addition to the excavations at the Breeden Site, a site survey was performed and a total of 13 sites were identified. County symbols refer to the following: T=Tippecanoe. In all, 12 sites were located by the survey and one other, which was earlier recorded by Mr. Mulvey, was revisited. Of these 13 sites, (T2, T47, T48, T49, T50, T51, T52, T53, T53, T56, T57, and T58), only one would need further investigation, site T2. This site is one of the few village sites to be located far from a major waterway, which in this case is the Wabash River, in the overall reservoir salvage survey program. As an exception to the above mentioned general conditions of reservoir surveys, this site exhibited numerous indications that it has remained relatively undisturbed beneath the silt level and that it is a fairly large village site. Site T2 was deemed to be of significant consequence to the prehistory of the area and Bellis recommended that an extensive test excavation program on site T2 be conducted. Bellis stated that the site would be completely inundated if the plans for the Lafayette Reservoir are carried through to completion.
The goal of this excavation was twofold. First, it was the intent of the investigator to recover enough of a sample of the Breeden Site's cultural material to be able to compare it to what has been recovered from other shell middens in the Ohio Valley. Though the extent of this excavation was not thorough enough to permit a statistical statement, a brief but useful comparison could be made. The second primary goal of the excavation was to test the extent of the shell deposit, to determine if this site was significant enough in size to merit a more complete salvage effort before it became more extensively damaged by high waters. During the 1966 season, several types of soil augers were used to test sites in Indiana. Bellis, in his report stated, "We found ten sites but the only sites which are potentially of significance are those which are located within the rock shelters, high up the drainage ravine near the ridge tops." Bellis also stated," I recommend that two be given further attention." (Bellis 1966).

William Maurice Ewing
Maurice Ewing Dolores Proubasta The Leading Edge Mar 1991, Vol. 10, No. 3, pp. 15-20
SEG's Maurice Ewing Medal, created in 1977, recognizes individuals whose lifework, like the eponym's, has given shape and substance to the science and profession of exploration geophysics. It has been estimated that Ewing's contributions tripled the rate of our understanding of the earth.
No less than the emergence of marine geology as a science is owed Ewing. Before him, conjecture passed for scientific knowledge of what lay below the shallows of the continental shelves. What for centuries had been called "off soundings" was presumed an axoic monotony up to as recently as 1942. Like the featureless bottom of a tub, its raison d'etre was just to hold water.
Ewing disagreed. He dismissed the ocean as "a murky mess" he wished would evaporate to reveal the real wonders in the bottom. And what wonders they turned out to be-scapes so fantastic that Homer could have dreamed them for his own Poseidon. Yet the beauty of the findings was incidental to Ewing's goal of solving the geophysical enigmas of an entire planet. This sort of irrepressible curiosity more than made up for the fact that Ewing never received formal training in geology or geophysics. He toppled so many of the icons of classical geology, it's a won&r he fell short of discover- ing seafloor spreading from his own investigations. Perhaps, being the great generalist he was, the avalanche of projects he generated left no time to ponder the details.
Much of Ewing's huge scientific undertaking would have been indefinitely postponed without those who toiled in the master's shadow-retinues of students and associates whom he alternately ignored or overwhelmed with his demands.
Although Ewing didn't shun the image of scientific demiurge, first and foremost he considered himself a teacher. Never mind "Dot" (as most everyone called him) sometimes fell asleep in his own class after staying up all night at the lab; or that he was un- accessible for long periods while at sea. More didactic than his lectures was his attitude about science (i.e., little else mattered) and his insistence on hands-on experience. The lesson one of Ewing's students valued most was "to bleed the last ounce of in- formation out of the data."
As so often happens, the "oppressed" came to resemble the oppressor; Ewing's students clung to their theses as ends unto themselves, "A student can hang around until he rots, as long as he continues to work at geophysics," Dot used to say. As they eventually parted from the taskmaster to pursue their own interests, a curious pattern began to emerge. Most if not all of his 200-plus graduate students achieved a measure of success well above the average. And what higher a professor's glory than to count among his ahmmi the likes of Albert Crary, Milton Dobrin, William DOM, Jim Dorman, Charles Drake, Gordon Hamilton, Jim Hayes, Bruce Heezen, John Bracken Hersey, Sam Katz, Marcus Lang- seth, Gary Latham, Bernie Luskin, Maurice Major, Edward Miller, Charles Officer, Jack Oliver, Frank Press, H.M. Ruther- ford, Nelson Steenland, Ivan Tolstoy, Allyn Vine, Joe Worxel, and Paul Wuenschel. Dot was proud of their individual achievements, but his dreams couldn't be contained in the halls of academe.
William Maurice Ewing was born on May 12, 1906, to Floyd and Hope Hamilton Ewing. Maurice (Pronounced Morris), like his six younger siblings, was heir to the self-discipline and hard work of a farming family that coaxed a livelihood from the harsh flats of the Texas Panhandle. Recreation and relaxation would remain foreign concepts throughout his life; Ewing worked twice as long and hard as anybody. There were no days off.
Ewing received a bachelor's in 1926 with honors in math and physics, a master's in 1927 in physics, and a doctorate in 1931 from Rice where he was Hohenthal Scholar (1923-26) and a Fellow in Physics (1926-29). To support himself, Ewing worked on seismic crews during the summers, and this was the extent of his formal training in geophysics. After a year at the University of Pittsburgh as a physics instructor, in 1930 Ewing joined the Lehigh University faculty. Four years later, an unexpected visit by Professor Richard Field, of Princeton, and William Bowie, of the US Coast and Geodetic Survey, altered the course of his career completely.
The geologic problem they hoped Ewing could unravel was whether the deep place where the continental shelf ends was a geo- logic fault or the result of outbuilding of sediment from the land. Field and Bowie, who knew about Ewing through papers he presented at the American Geophysical Union, thought that per- haps seismic measurements, with which Ewing had become familiar while working on crews, could be used in the investiga- tion. The answer was affirmative, provided one had adequate equipment and a ship. As for Ewing's willingness, he would sum it up years later in his biography, Z'Jre Floor of the Sea: Maurice Ewing and the Search to Understand the Earth. "If they had asked me to put seismic equipment on the moon instead of the bottom of the ocean I'd have agreed, I was so desperate for a chance to do research." But then, according to his biographer, William Wertenbaker, "Ewing was desperate to learn something most of the time."
With a $2000 grant from the Geological Society of America, Ewing set out in 1935 to do what had never been tried before- explosion seismology at sea. Onboard the Coast Survey's Oceunogrupher and later that year on the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's Atluntis, Ewing, with Albert Crary and H.M. Ruther- ford, began tests to trace the basement rock off the coast of Vir- ginia in an outcrop almost to the edge of the continental shelf. Their outdated equipment was borrowed from an oil company that Ewing had worked for.
Using the seismic refraction method, Ewing determined that the continental shelf was a thick wedge of sediment (the tidelands where oil forms) underlain by the continental basement. The answer to Field and Bowie's academic query didn't, however, shake any foundations other than those of Ewing's own career. After his experience at sea, all he wanted to do thereon was solve the geophysical enigmas of the earth, and Ewing firmly believed that all the clues lay beneath the ocean basins. His attempts to obtain an annual grant from several major oil companies in return for the data he could gather regarding the offshore's hydrocarbon potential were unsuccessful. His venture, he was told, wasn't worth a cent of the shareholder's money.
A grant from the John Simmon Guggenheim Foundation enabled Ewing to take an indefinite leave of absence from Lehigh which had just promoted him from assistant professor of physics to as- sociate professor of geology. (He always felt that this grant was the turning point in his career.)
Ewing began conducting experiments in the North Atlantic basin assisted first by Crary and Rutherford and then by Allyn Vine (later of Alvin research sub fame), Norman Webster, George Woollard, and Wonel. The challenges of moving their old- fashioned gear from 100 fathoms to the then-formidable depth of 1000 fathoms were compounded by limited access (two weeks a year) to the Atlantis. And considering that the ship's main scien- tific objectives were other than Ewing's, the most they managed to obtain during those two weeks was three to four good records. Always pressed for time Ewing rigged ingenious data-gather- ing devices to work alongside the seismic equipment. One of those instruments was a deep-sea camera (the first ever) he and Vine had built on a shoestring grant from the National Geographic Society. No one else was interested in backing underwater photog- raphy because expert oceanographers maintained that water in depths greater than a few tens of fathoms was too murky to get any images of the bottom.

March of 2013 turned out to be a busy month in terms of concertgoing. Besides the Canconier and Voices of Music concerts which I previously reviewed and enjoyed, the one I really looked forward to was this one where Rachel Podger guest conducts the PBO. Having to go up to Berkeley on the weekend, I hit up two friends in the area and went to the concert together.
None of the pieces played this night were any surprises or unknown to me. Some, of course, were more familiar to me than others. It was a night of Italian concertos, much like the Dantone concert a few years back. In fact, there were quite a few things about this concert that reminded me of the Dantone one. Besides the obvious similarity of an all-Italian program, the PBO under Podger's direction also played with more vitality.
Both the Roman-style and Ventian-style concertos are represented. First and foremost on the program was a concerto by the pioneer of the concerto grosso, Corelli. It's a piece I could not have been more familiar with. While you do get to hear Podger's moments of good solo playing, Corelli's music generally does not tend to highlight that, and so I had to wait for the other pieces.
The concert also features two concertos for 4 violins, one by Mossi and another by the more famous Locatelli. While seemingly in the "concerto for soloists" category, in actuality these pieces are extensions of the concerto grosso, with an effective doubling of the concertino violins. A melodic line can now be juggled and passed on between the 4 violins, although most the times the violins are paired up and play in unison or thirds. More complex texture also comes in the form of the ripieno playing with the soloists instead of utter silence.
Of the two 4-violin concertos, I liked the Mossi better. While Locatelli's piece is arguably more well-known, I was never a big fan of it. Many many years ago, I heard the English Concert play the piece under the direction of Andrew Manze, and I went home with the same feeling of a minor letdown. Somehow, it just isn't Locatelli's finest. It lacks a certain cohesiveness and fluidity that the most famous example in the genre, Vivaldi, so finely has. Mossi's piece is obviously written in an earlier style, but it's one that I am fond of.
Joining Podger for the remaining three violins are local female Baroque violinists. Blumenstock, a favorite of mine, never ceases to amaze and impress me with her playing. Moore can be expected to put in a solid performance, albeit not as inventive as Blumenstock. Kyme is probably the weakest link among the trio/quartet. While her playing is also on the careful side, it suffers occasionally from uneven tones and mistakes more so than the others. Thus, the boldness of Podger and Blumenstock is a clear contrast to the lukewarmness of Moore and Kyme. How the performance felt at any given moment depended strongly on who was the soloist that instant.
Then there were the solo violin concertos of the Venetian style, developed into maturity under Vivaldi. Now the spotlight on Podger, one is able to zone in on her playing. Podger always struck me as a dynamic player with vigor, varying dynamics, tempi, and phrasing of the music so it's never dull. Compared to those really daring Italian Baroque violinists out there that can truly be unpredictable, Podger never throws in stuff like that. Her flexibility in musical interpretation is based naturally out of the music itself. When she does do anything that breaks my expectations, it seems yet so rightfully justified and convincing.
Among the solo concertos Podger played, the first one was a concerto by Vivaldi from his op.9 collection, dedicated to Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI. With such an important dedicatee, Vivaldi must have thought highly of the quality of his work, and it rightfully is. Podger plays the 6th concerto musically and tastefully. However, the music itself lacks the flair and appeal of Vivaldi's most famous earlier op.8 collection, and so it did not leave quite a big mark for me as I was hoping.
The other solo violin concerto was the one written by Pergolesi. A Neopolitan composer who died very young (and achieved great posthumous fame) who is better known by his vocal compositions, Pergolesi was in fact an accomplished violinist. The piece is a quite a virtuosic one, which is immediately apparent to those in the audience. Written in the late Baroque period, it is has many traits of the early Classical style. While this galant style may not interest me as much as piece more firmly rooted in the Baroque mold, drama is built into the music which provides the musicians many opportunities for artistic freedom on theatricality. One thing that stood out was how Podger takes the opening motif of the 3rd movement, intentionally sitting on the pauses between the phrases. It sounded refreshing and even humorous. One of my friends certainly liked it a lot.
However, the piece I felt was the high point of the concert was the Vivaldi double violin concerto from his op.3. Pairing up with Elizabeth Blumenstock and not bound by the "conservative forces" that be, this dynamic duo was free to take it to even further soaring heights. Feeding off each other's energy, their playing was simply electrifying going into the final movement. When the piece ended, I found myself joining the rest of the audience applauding and cheering along.
The official concert ended with the Locatelli concerto. Under the undying applause of the audience, however, Podger came back and treated us with a nice encore. It turned out to be the slow movement of the first concerto of Vivaldi's op.4 "La Stravaganza", a set Podger has recorded in its entirety (which I also own). In a night of musical excitement for the most part, the concert ended in a lyrical and peaceful mood.

Saturday 22nd May - Perito Moreno Glacier, Argentina
Early mornings! I can't cope. Mikey set the alarm for 5.30 so that he could turn the heating up for an hour to warm the room before we got up. A quick breakfast and then back in the bus, this time with only three others from the hostel. We took much the same route as yesterday, but on entering the park we stopped at a border crossing and went into Argentina. Which looked much like Chile, except that the roads were more often paved. The minibus was stopped twice by Argentine police roadblocks, and then we were moving again. It was a much clearer day than yesterday, we were higher in the mountains too, and the views were wonderful. We saw huge kestrels and other birds of prey, more guanacos and a large herd of a type of ostrich either called a rhea or a ñandu. Herd of ostriches? Course I've...
The driver had brought a whole load of cassettes for the radio, after a day of silence in the park yesterday. The first one was a bunch of ballads, and, only three minutes into Argentina the song 'Hotel California' came on, much to our delight.We have heard that song in every country we've been to so far, in buses and shopping malls and lifts and restaurants. It's become the theme to the trip. We still haven't heard it in Chile though!
The first town in Argentina was a place called El Calafate and it was markedly different to Puerto Natales or Punta Arenas. It was obviously a tourist destination, all the shops were built to resemble log cabins, but the general houses were all made of something more substantial than the Chilean Patagonian portacabins and plasterboard. The houses had gardens and fences round them, some with trees. The roads were cobbled and the verges were landscaped. It was very pretty. We watched a giant Old English sheepdog chase a milk float at about 20 miles per hour and then stopped at an ATM to get Argentinian pesos. The bank machine worked for the first time in a month - the Nationwide had to re-register the card or something so we couldn't access the account online. It's nice to be able to get money again!
The two girls on the bus left us at Calafate and it took another couple of hours to get to the glacier. On the way we stopped at the side of the road to take pictures because we were on a hill looking over a fog-filled valley, with snow-capped mountains in the distance. It was beautiful. Unfortunately we were going to be entering the valley where the clouds lived, and our view disappeared completely. We arrived at the glacier and the driver pointed into the fog. 'There it is.' There was absolutely nothing to see. We had two hours of standing in the cold until we'd leave for the six-hour return journey.
The Glacier National Park had paths and view points all the way through it. We took the trails down to little platforms but we could see nothing at all. Occasionally we'd hear a crack or a crash as parts of the glacier detached and fell into the water to create icebergs, but other than the occasional sighting of soupy green water below us, there was nothing to see.
After an hour I was getting very cold. The fog wouldn't clear and it was obvious that we had come a long way to hear icebergs being made, which was nice, but could be done from the comfort of the bus. At that moment the sun poked through the cloud and fog and an outline of the glacier appeared. As we watched, the glacier was revealed slowly, a blue edge here and there, an immense white cliff looming out of the water. The echoes of the ice cracking and growling came through the clouds and we were all watching silently, our patience rewarded. It was quite magical. After about twenty minutes the sun was out, the sky a flawless blue and the whole landscape of icebergs and mountains and glaciers stood before us. It was about ten miles long and the jagged top of the glacier ran back between the mountains. We eventually headed back to the bus, just as the next band of fog and cloud rolled in.
My camera suffered from the cold and the motors and batteries both decided to give up temporarily. I asked the driver to stop when we got to Calafate, and I ran into a supermarket for batteries. We've been able to get a good view of a country by the range of products and prices in a supermarket, and Argentina seemed a very respectable, inexpensive place. The small supermarket had a massive range of everything, which is always a good sign. While we were there we bought sandwiches, fruit, chocolate and drinks for supper in the bus, and then followed several people's clues to find a shop that sold batteries. Ten minutes later we were back at the bus, and back in Puerto Natales by 10pm, having heard 'Don't Cry for me, Argentina' on the radio.
Back at the hostel, the lady (we still don't know her name) had cooked us a chicken casserole which was very warm and welcoming and we watched the Spanish royal wedding while we ate.


I love instrumental music. Not that I don't like vocals, I just spent most all of my music-making experience (high school and college) in instrumental groups so it feels closer to me. I've been living vicariously through my children lately while their high school marching band has laid waste to most of its competition. They have come through the band program I wish I was in all those years ago. The genre has come a long, long way. These days, a band on a high school football field doesn't do a bunch of geometric designs to a few pop 40 radio tunes, they put on 10-minute symphonic Broadway-style shows. Check out a high school game sometime and you might see what I mean.
Anyway, I digress. While browsing YouTube just out of curiosity for a few world champion DCI performances (Drum Corp International; they call themselves the "Marching Music's Major League"), I stumbled on a couple of my favorite big band titles that had been chosen by the DCI groups for their competitions. That, in turn led me to something I had never considered. Live recordings of some of my jazz idols from decades gone by. I of course figured that I'd find videos of contemporary bands playing not so contemporary music online, but not the originals. Duh! Why wouldn't they be there?
There he was, my favorite big band leader, Stan Kenton and his orchestra (complete with the mellophone section!) playing for a live audience in London. In fact, some of that music was from the very performances that haave been in my collection for years. It was incredible. I burned two hours listening to music that I thought I knew inside and out. But now I had discovered a thousand fresh nuances. I could see who was playing what, how they moved, and how the music moved them. It was awesome.
Kenton and his bands were always special to me. He showed a clear dedication to music education in his later years. During the 70's his bands would appear at high school and college jazz band competitions around the country offering performance clinics to student musicians during the day and then a concert for the competing schools the end the night. I learned so much from the Kenton trumpet section as we rehearsed our charts the afternoon before the competition. I don't even remember how well we did in our division. I just remember listening to a professional musician telling us about how he felt the music, felt the drumstick hitting the cymbal from across the stage, and felt the lead sax player taking his next breath. My dad said he was probably stoned.
I also learned that I needed a lot more practice.
Thanks YouTube, and thanks Stan.

Q: sorting 5d array in c I am trying to figure out how to sort a multidimensional data (5 dimensions) in C. I know that using a 5d array is a solution that, from
reading others posts on SO about this topic many folks find, if not altogether unethical, so aesthetically repugnant so as to provoke unceasing projectile vomiting...so I apologize in advance.
Essentially I have an incoming set of data to which I must apply a series of discrete algorithms.  Each algorithm has a set of variables, and I need to calculate a ranking of the efficiency of each algorithm with every permutation of the
variables possible.
  Ultimately, I need a list sorted by the best-to-worst performing algorithm.  The whole
calculation is dynamic, so what works best on one incoming piece of data is unlikely to be the best performer on another...so I can't eliminate any of the variables because they are poor performers.
Here is how the data looks:
dataValue[ algo ][ lengthVar ][ durationVar ][ plasticityVar ] [ fungibilityVar]

There are:

*

*35 algorithms

*10 length variables

*230 duration vars

*27 plasticity vars

*400 fungibility vars

In addition to sorting by algorithm, I would like to have the flexibility to sort on any of the 5 dimensions.
This will be run on a 12 physical/ 24 logical core machine with 192 gig (not meg) of RAM, using VS 2010 C (not C++).
I am assuming that qsort would be the most efficient sorting option.  I have searched Google and SO extensively for how to do this to no avail.  There are answers for 1d arrays, multidimensional arrays in PHP or C#, etc, but not for C...or at least I can't find one.

A: qsort in cstdlib would work. The array is Datatype ***data.
So first off, lets say that you want to sort the first index of the array. You'd have to write a comparator function to compare two Datatype****s. The comparator should return a value less than zero if ab.
int myComparator(void *a, void *b){
    Datatype ****c=(Datatype****)a; Datatype ****d=(Datatype****)b
    return algorithmRatingFunction(b)-algorithmRatingFunction(a);
}

This is pretty obviously inefficient because you have to reevaluate the algorithm for each dataset each comparison, but lets get to that in a sec. After you have the comparator, you can sort the array:
qsort(data,35,sizeOf(Datatype),myComparator);

That's it!
Then there's the issue of inefficiency... If algorithmRatingFunction takes a long time to complete (which I'm guessing it does), then you'd want to calculate all 35 algorithms once and only once. What you could do is calculate the scores beforehand:
int scores[35];
for(int n=0;n<35;n++)
    scores[n]=algorithmRatingFunction(data[n]);

Then create another ordered integer array:
int ordering[35];
for(int n=0;n<35;n++)
    ordering[n]=n;

So the state of "ordering" corresponds to the order of your data set. Then, you can create a new comparator:
int myFasterComparator(void *a, void *b){
    int c=*(int*)a; int d=*(int*)b
    return scores[c]-scores[d];
}

And call it on ordering:
qsort(ordering,35,sizeOf(int),myFasterComparator);

Then reconstruct the array using ordering. like so:
Datatype ****ordereddata[35];
for(int n=0;n<35;n++)
    ordereddata[n]=data[ordering[n]];

The same holds true for all other levels. Like dasblinkenlight posted, qsort reduces the problem of sorting 5d arrays to that of comparing two 4d arrays. So instead of sorting each 4d array you just have to compare two 3d arrays, etc.

A: I think you really need to refuse vomiting because of 5D effect. Make a struct instead:
typedef struct {
    int algorithm;
    int length;
    int duration;
    int plasticity;
    int fungibility;
    int dataValue;
} AlgorithmTestData;

And then define your test data 1D array:
AlgorithmTestData algoTestCases[NUMBER_OF_TEST_CASES];

or you can allocate it dynamically if you don't know the size of test cases with malloc.
Then you will qsort algoTestCases 1D array according to your comparision requirements.
