Q: Loop is not geting exited in Python I am trying to write a simple progrm in Python but when my number is getting equal to number the else statement keeps repeating itself. Help
print('Tell me your name Ramesh')
import random
name=input()
print('Howdy, '+name)
print('Guess my number which is in between 1 to 20')
number=input()
mynumber = random.randint(1, 20)
count = 0
while(mynumber!=number):
    if (int(number) > mynumber):
        print('Howdy, Your number is too high. Plz renter')
        number=input()
        count=count+1
    elif (int(number)< mynumber):
        print('Howdy, Your number is too low. Plz renter')
        number=input()
        count=count+1
    else :
        print('Howdy you got it in '+ str(count)+' chances. The correct number is '+number)

A: I've only just started python myself and had the same issue.
Your if statements all convert the entered number to an int however your while doesn't. so it's comparing an int and string. Try:
while(mynumber != int(number))

or change the input to read
number = int(input("blah")).

I like this more even though it will throw an error if you enter text.

A: You may also need to change the while to read while(mynumber != int(number)) as well as adding in the break within the ELSE. You could also remove the else and just let the loop fall out if the numbers match and then show the success message.

This review will contain spoilers, so don't read it if you intend to read the book.
Gone Girl has won high praise and has been a best-seller. It is true that it is memorable in the way that it derails the reader's expectations. The plot starts out with a married couple, transplanted from Manhattan to small-town Missouri, celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary. Husband Nick tells the story in the present while we see Amy's diary entries from selected days, from the time she first met Nick to the time close to the present when she writes about she is scared for her life because of Nick's anger and disappointment with his life. Both of them have lost their jobs, and they have moved from the city to look after his parents. His mother got cancer and his mother has Alzheimer's. Amy used to be rich because she had a trust fund, but her parents asked for their money back. What little she had left she gave to Nick so that he could start a new bar with his sister. He spends a lot of his time at that bar, avoiding Amy. Then on their fifth anniversary, Amy disappears. It looks like she has been abducted. Soon, Nick is the main suspect. All the evidence points to him. But there is no body, and so it will be hard to prove that he actually killed Amy.
In the first part of the book, the reader is trying to work out what is going on, and whether Nick really did it. Both Amy and Nick seem like unhappy and self-absorbed people, and maybe Nick is hiding something from the reader. However, it turns out that it Amy who has been deceptive. She has made elaborate plans to frame Nick for her murder, and they are turning out very well. She set up an intricate trap for him, and he falls right into it. They police play a cat and mouse game with him, but he knows from the start that at least one of the detectives thinks he did it. Nick is smart and he works hard to keep his freedom, but he has made many mistakes, and his future does not look good.
Through this depiction of an unhappy marriage, a scheming wife and a failing, selfish husband, we get a depiction of the pressures on marriage. We can read this book as just the story of two people, or we can read it as an analysis of the sorry state of modern marriage and the failings of men and women. The book is more fun as an innocuous gothic thriller, but it falls into so many stereotypes of the unhinged psychotic wife who will stop at nothing to get what she wants that it feels to be making some kind of statement. These are the kinds of fears about women that John Waters mocked in his 1994 movie Serial Mom. The AC Club has a list of movies about vengeful women: Fatal Attraction is at the top of the list, obviously, and is followed by 21 others. The movie of this novel, due out in October 2014, can be added to such lists. I was hoping that somehow Flynn would find a way to go beyond the usual hackneyed portrayals of controlling possessive women, but she stays firmly within the usual framework, even if Amy manages to hide her true nature better than most at the start.

Humanitarian Situation
Since April 2021, Nepal has been experiencing an alarming COVID-19 surge, with a steep rise in cases from 162 cases/day at the beginning of April up to 9,300 cases/day (319 cases per 1,000,000 people) in May; case positivity rate as high as 47 per cent; and 4,000 deaths. On a similar COVID-19 trajectory as India, Nepal's previously weak health system has been overwhelmed, there is insufficient oxygen treatment capacity and hospitals and care staff are stretched to the limit.
Thousands of returning migrants are entering Nepal from neighbouring India through multiple border entry points along the porous border. UNICEF, the main humanitarian body in the region, is supporting border authorities at points of entry (PoE) in intensive efforts to ensure rapid testing, isolation or quarantine and to organize on-ward movement to various parts of the country, through provision of essential supplies and transportation of confirmed COVID-19 returnees to isolation centres and hospitals.
UNICEF provided critical health equipment including 750 oxygen concentrators, 1,100 pulse oximeters, 20 BiPap machines, 11,259 home isolation kits, 2 million surgical gloves, 2,000 body bags, and other supplies. Gaps remain for personal protective equipment (PPE), lab/test supplies, oxygen and infection, prevention, control (IPC) supplies.
Nepal's COVID-19 vaccination campaign which started in January 2021 had made good initial progress, with 2.1 million people, nearly 7% of the eligible population, vaccinated with at least the 1st dose of COVID-19 vaccine. COVAX/UNICEF delivered 348,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine, 3 million syringes, 5,000 safety boxes and supported overall communication efforts to raise demand and awareness. Due to global vaccine scarcity and the related halting of the expected additional vaccine deliveries, vaccination efforts have been constrained and Nepal is in urgent need of additional vaccine doses to complete vaccination of high-risk groups and beyond, especially during the current surge.
The most vulnerable groups including children, their families, migrant returnees and child- and female-headed households bear the brunt of the COVID-19 impact highlighting the critical need for humanitarian response and crisis recovery efforts at all levels. UNICEF supports the continuation of essential services such as health, WASH, nutrition, protection, education and family livelihoods.
As per the COVID-19 emergency response plan, UNICEF Nepal urgently needs an additional US$ 21,297,325 to ensure a response for families and children in Nepal during the current crisis. If this funding is not secured UNICEF's ability to provide lifesaving assistance will be severely limited.
To ensure all children receive pre-primary and basic education and to improve quality basic education and adolescent life skills development.
Education is a fundamental human right.
EDU and organizations like EDU are dedicated to making sure that all children can enjoy their right to a quality education, from early learning opportunities that lay the groundwork for success in school, all the way through secondary school.
Over the last 20 years, Nepal has made significant progress in education. The net enrolment rate in primary schools has risen to 97 per cent. However, the country still has many challenges to tackle. Issues that persist in education include poor quality and inequity in access, geographical remoteness, gender, and socioeconomic and ethnic differences. Key barriers to enrolment and attendance include poverty, social exclusion, disability, migration, child labour, social norms and gender bias.
770,000 children aged 5-12 years are still out of school.
Only a half of students in grades 3, 5 and 8 meet the academic achievement criteria for Nepali and mathematics.
Attendance in early childhood education (ECE) is still low at 51 per cent.
There is inequity in the education sector as only 12 per cent of children from the lowest wealth quintile are developmentally on track in literacy and numeracy compared to 65 per cent from the highest wealth quintile.
Very few schools meet child-friendly school standards.
Only 11 per cent of school buildings are earthquake-resistant.
EDU will continue to support local partners in Nepal such as AIDIA

The following article is condensed from a transcript of a March 6, 2008 Training meeting of the Upstate Group. These meetings cover a wide range of topics related to "willingness to grow along spiritual lines" and "maintenance of our spiritual condition" (AA Big Book, pp. 60 and 85).
What I want to talk about today is surrender. Surrender is the go/no-go point at the outset of any addiction recovery. It is the new beginning to which recovering addicts return day by day to pay out the promise of the Program. The bottom line is either you get a surrender or you don't recover.
From 1942 till 1946, Bill Wilson and everyone else in early Westchester AA thought my dad might be part of the 25% of alcoholics that never recover. In 1942, after his first year of sobriety, he decided to have a slip and see if he could prove that he could be a social drinker. It took just six weeks to prove that he couldn't. Then he figured he'd just sneak back to AA and get sober again, but spent the next four years slipping and almost didn't make it. He found out that if you kick this thing called the grace of the Higher Power, you get some very nasty surprises, and absolutely no guarantee that you will ever get back.
The experience and the practice of Dr. Bob Smith and the first Akron AA group, was heavily focused on achieving surrender for the newcomer. Their approach is clearly spelled out in the book Dr. Bob and the Good Oldtimers, which is sort of an oral history of the early groups, and has got certain passages in it about early AA experience that I don't think you can get as good anywhere else. It mostly covers the first four years, between the founding of the Fellowship and the publishing of the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous.
Beginning on page 101 it says:
"We were taking them upstairs and getting them on their knees to surrender, which I felt was a very important part. The surrender was more than important, it was a must. Bob E., who came into AA in February 1937, recalled that after five or six days in the hospital, when you had indicated that you were serious, they told you to get down on your knees by the bed and say a prayer to God, admitting you were powerless over alcohol and your life was unmanageable. Furthermore, you had to state that you believed in a Higher Power who could return you to sanity. We called that the surrender. They demanded it, you couldn't go to a meeting until you did it. If by accident you didn't make [the surrender] in the hospital, you had to make it in the upstairs bedroom at the Williams' house.
"Dorothy S. M. recalled the 1937 meeting when, 'the men would all disappear upstairs and all of us women would be nervous and worried about what was going on. After about half an hour or so, down would come the new man, shaking, white, serious, and grim, and all the people who were already in AA would come trooping down after him. They were pretty reluctant to talk about what had happened but after a while they would tell us that they had had a real surrender. I often wonder how many people that come in now would survive an experience like that – a regular old-fashioned prayer meeting.', said Dorothy, who was then married to an AA member Clarence S., and later came into AA herself.
"The newcomers surrendered in the presence of all those other people." After the surrender, many of the Steps involving inventory, admission of character defects, and making restitution were taken within a matter of days.
That's the end of the selection. The thing is, how do you get a hold of something that's this real? This is before there was such a thing as the Twelve Steps, as they were later spelled out. You have to remember that they were working with the Oxford Group, which was a form of Protestant Evangelical Christianity.
Thank God for the AA wisdom that they ended up opening the Fellowship to everyone by saying, "God as you understand him". It wasn't just to keep from being exclusive, it was to prevent addicts from getting hopelessly snarled up in the sect of their religion. I remember when I first got into the Program, having been heavily involved with religion during my childhood and teenage years, I assumed I would have no problem with the God part of the Program. I was slightly offended when my sponsor told me, "There are only two kinds of people that arrive at the Program, atheists and pious phonies."
What Dr. Bob and the early guys found out was that they couldn't rely too casually on the "individual guidance" in prayer that was emphasized by the Oxford Group, without running the risk of self-deception. That approach was just too easy a formula for drunks to do it their own way.
Today, we can get a result as real as the members of Dr. Bob's group were getting simply by using the resources available in the 12 Steps – backed up by the 4 Absolutes and the 10 Points. In How to Get Going on the AA Way of Life it is summarized in a set of directions that tell you what to hang on to: "Hang on to God, hang on to the truth, hang on to total abstinence, hang on to your recovering brothers and sisters. Use related help wisely." Don't cop out to half measures – weak, watered-down, and copped out AA – or, even worse, secular therapy that tells you that if you get your underlying emotional problems straightened out you can drink again socially, whatever "drinking" is for you.
Many of us don't achieve total, across-the-boards, "in all our affairs", surrender when we first arrive in the Program. This is okay, just so long as we don't play games with surrendering and pretend to be ignorant where we are not. If we are willing to be honest with ourselves, and take our inventory with help from other members of our group, areas where we have not fully surrendered will continue to become clear to us as our new Program lives take hold.
It is said that all addicts at some level are grandiose. But when we get past the grandiosity and are willing to take a real look at the whole personal history, it's just overwhelming – the temptation to utter discouragement and hopelessness. We've got to get past the hopelessness, the discouragement, and the resentment – and there's one process that does it: Surrender. Surrender in the Program involves ego-deflation at depth, but it is never demeaning to the real person. One of the beautiful things about this Program is it does not pick on you and it doesn't require you to pick on yourself. Remember, even inventory work is essentially non-critical. You get nowhere with discouragement and self-condemnation.
What is required then to get to this balanced form of surrender? Apparently, it's not just a lot of suffering, because some very high percentage of all addicts never become candidates for AA at all, no matter how much they suffer. AA isn't worth anything to anybody who doesn't have an honest desire to quit drinking, drugging, smoking, or whatever. It's got to be something you opt for personally. But assuming that one way or another you have opted for it, then what?
Beyond the general decision to try doing things God's way rather than our own, we have to identify specific actions that are obviously right that we still don't want to do – and specific things that are wrong that we still do want to do.
Surrender is not just a matter of saying a nice prayer once in our lives, or on Sunday morning, or even in our personal prayer time. Surrender is required in specific matters, large and small, in our daily lives. What we need to surrender can sometimes be disguised as some lofty aspiration or desire, and that is why we need to work with sponsors and friends in the Program. Individual "guidance" needs to be checked out to guard against the danger of "spiritualized" self-lying.
For example, in my early months in AA, I didn't want to do a Fourth and Fifth Step inventory. My sponsor kept gently nudging me toward the inventory steps, and for quite a while I was unwilling to give in – "to go to any lengths" in this particular area. If I'd been able to, I would never have taken a Fifth Step at all, but I couldn't stay sober. So finally in desperation, I took the Fourth and Fifth Steps, and I found that the promise of the Program paid out-I was able to get sober and stay sober -and that promise has never failed to pay out-never.

In a time of desperation and ignorance,I attended a meeting on surrender. It brought me to the point of seeking more info.thus it brought me to this article. Thank you for the guidance through the history and practical application. God Bless
Brian H says:
After 7 years of sobriety, surrender is perhaps the biggest issue I've encountered. When I don't surrender and am in self will, the old character defects emerge making life nit nearly as enjoyable as when I first surrendered and did the steps with my sponsor and with sponsee's as a sponsor. Like gratitude, surrender is actually a verb, an action. It doesn't exist on its own as spiritual maintenance is required to keep it alive. Ego deflation happens by revisiting inventories, resentments, character defects and of course 12 step work. A lack of true surrender was what kept me trying to convey a facade of being this spiritual warrior in the rooms when I was actually suffering due to self will run riot. It took me a while to realize that surrender and sobriety is contingent on my spiritual maintenance. Once I realized this and did the work, life was, and has been great.
Greg Anderson says:
Doesnt say any of that on page 101.. The word surrender isnt in the big book 164 pages

Following the recent Elon Musk's announcement of the Tesla Roadster updates, Tesla has officially unveiled its new revised version of the first model. Novelty can boast of a power reserve of almost 650 km. More specifically, the roadster which got an addition 3.0 to its name can travel 640 km without recharging that is 250 km more than its predecessor. It is made due to the new battery with 31 % increased capacity (70 kWh).

New-Roadster also got a different body kit with additional aerodynamic elements reducing the aerodynamic drag coefficient to 0.31 (against the previous 0.36), and tires with reduced road resistance. What about the electric motor of the model, there are not too much details yet (probably here everything remains unchanged). We remind that the first Roadster was powered by a 280-strong unit and was able to speed up 0-100 km / h in just 3.7 seconds.

Well, that's a significant upgrade. By the way, Tesla wanted to demonstrate very impressive Roadster possibilities – in early January 2015, the novelty made a travel from Los Angeles to San Francisco. It was made without stopping for the recharging. It was a distance for approximately 600 km. According to Tesla, cruise control was used on the highway sections, it was made for staying around the speed limit, and also the heater was turned on about 40 minutes.

How Yankees' Luke Voit's beloved home run hop was born
Luke Voit hits a triple to right field in the sixth inning as the New York Yankees host the Oakland A's at Yankee Stadium for the American League Wild Card. 10/3/18 Bronx, N.Y. John Munson | NJ Advance Media for NJ.comJohn Munson | NJ Advance Media f
By Brendan Kuty | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
TAMPA, Fla. — Somehow, Luke Voit, a huge Mark McGwire fan growing up, let Sammy Sosa help create one of the most beloved aspects of his game.
Every time Voit, the Yankees' slugging first baseman, hits a home run, he does a slight gallup out from the right batter's box and over home plate before starting his jog around the bases.
Type "Luke Voit hop" into Twitter's search queue you'll see how much Yankees fans love it. You'll also find gifs of Voit's gallup stitched together, from one home run after the other.
Welcome to Luketober. pic.twitter.com/v5OlfvffK6
— New York Yankees (@Yankees) October 4, 2018
He's not sure how it started but he thinks memories of watching the Sosa-McGwire race to beat Roger Maris' then-single-season home run record in 1998 might be behind it.
"People have asked me about it," he said in the clubhouse at George M. Steinbrenner Field this week. "I grew up watching Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire go at it, obviously, being from St. Louis. I don't know, man. Maybe it's me doing it in the backyard when I was little."
Voit, a St. Louis native, had posters of McGwire on his bedroom walls as a child. With his dock rope arms and barrel chest, Voit looks more like McGwire.
Jeter: We might not win, but you'll have fun!
Ex-New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter is the CEO of the Miami Marlins, who are thin on talent.
But the gallup is reminiscent of Sosa. The Dominican Republic-born star's stride might have been a bit longer, but he did after just about every one of his 609 career home runs, the ninth-most of all time. McGwire finished with 583, now 11th-most ever.
Voit said his Yankees teammates have told him they've enjoyed it since he came to the Bronx in a midseason deal with the St. Louis last year. It wasn't long before Voit took over first base from Greg Bird and hit .333 with 33 RBI — and 14 home runs, after which every Voit hopped every time.
"It's crazy," he said. "I don't mean to do it on purpose or to show anybody up or anything. I just know when I get it, it just happens."
The hop didn't start in the majors.
"It's weird," he said. "You go back and look at all my home runs, even in Double-A and Triple-A, I was doing it, too."
And the Yankees hope it doesn't end any time soon.

Resources guide start-up success
by News & Events | Nov 1, 2016 | News, News & Events | 0 comments
Mason Cook, senior in management, and Nick Herrig, senior in industrial engineering, saw an opportunity in the craft beer industry and used it to create their own beer-of-the-month club.

After a long and frustrating day, all Nick Herrig wanted to do was go home and have a cold beer. The realization that he had none in his fridge could have led to despair, but instead sparked the creation of the Midwest Beer Club with his friend and business partner, Mason Cook.
Cook, senior in management, and Herrig, senior in industrial engineering, are in the process of establishing a business that will allow people to order personalized boxes of beer to be delivered to their door.
The business, similar to a beer-of-the-month club, is unique in the fact that it uses an algorithm the duo created that takes customers' personal preferences and matches them to craft beer on hand from partnerships with local breweries.
"[You receive] a unique box of craft beer catered to your preferences," Cook said.
Cook and Herrig began planning the business about a year ago and took advantage of entrepreneurship resources at Iowa State throughout the process to assist them in starting the business and navigating tricky Iowa law.
They worked with the ISU Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship, became involved with clubs on campus and utilized the knowledge and guidance of various ISU professors to build their business. Cook recommends other students interested in pursuing entrepreneurship do the same.
"If a student is passionate and truly wants to start something, I think they need to take advantage of these programs and resources," said Diana Wright, marketing and programs director for the ISU Pappajohn Center. "A lot of times, when you're in the real world it's a lot harder to navigate."
Wright also pointed out that college it is the perfect time to take advantage of these resources.
"Time is an important resource when starting a business, and although it may not seem like it to some, students do in fact have the time to really get involved and start their business," she said.
About the ISU Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship
The ISU Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship offers academic opportunities such as the Entrepreneurship Scholarship Program, the ISU Entrepreneur Club and a learning community called BusAd292, as well as opportunities to gain work experience in the entrepreneurship field and to participate in entrepreneurship programs.
One of these programs, the CYstarters Summer Accelerator, proved especially beneficial for the Midwest Beer Club, Cook said.
The CYstarters program, a new program that was started last summer, gives students up to 12,000 dollars to fund the creation of their business, and provides mentorship and workspace as well, Wright said.
The CEO National Pitch Competition is yet another opportunity that has been beneficial for the duo. After placing in the top 6 at the national competition in Tampa, Florida last weekend, they are the first ISU students to be finalists in the competition.
Utilizing these resources has not only helped them achieve success with their business, but has helped them navigate the difficulties of entrepreneurship as well.
One of the obstacles that has been particularly hard for the Midwest Beer Club is Iowa's strict alcohol regulations.
"Iowa is not conducive to alcohol entrepreneurship," Cook said. "There's a whole lot of things [that have been going on] in terms of working with the state that have been really frustrating, but it's the nature of the beast."
By being proactive during the planning process, conducting feasibility analyses and consulting their mentors, the duo has been working on overcoming these obstacles.
"In any start up, the future is always ambiguous," Cook said in regard to future plans for the business. "We feel that we are currently in a position to adequately move forth in developing our next business strategy for [Midwest Beer Club]."
Entrepreneurial Academic Opportunities
In addition to the opportunities available through the ISU Pappajohn Center, students also have access to opportunities through Iowa State University and the ISU College of Business.
"We've been developing a lot of new curriculum for students in entrepreneurship," said Patrick Kreiser, associate professor of management. "There's a lot of flexibility in terms of the courses that students can take to tailor it back to their specific area."
Previously the university has offered an entrepreneurship minor, which has been accessible to students in every college. With continued student interest and a growing societal interest in entrepreneurship, the university has started offering more academic options.
New this year to the ISU College of Business curriculum is an undergraduate major in entrepreneurship, as well as a Ph.D. Program — making Iowa State one of only eight universities in the country to offer it, Kreiser said.
"I think the vast majority of our students are going to go out and have entrepreneurial careers, so I think that's going to help prepare them for that," he said.
The increase in interest to pursue careers in entrepreneurship has been a major factor in the development of the new curriculum.
"Students love controlling their own destiny—they love innovation and creativity and all those kind of things. Students get really excited about the ability to kind of do their own thing, to be their own person and be their own boss," Kreiser said.
He highly recommends taking advantage of all of the resources available to students at ISU, and encourages students to go to faculty and people from organizations like the Pappajohn Center for help.
"People love to a) help students and b) help entrepreneurs. You put those things together, and I think most faculty get pretty excited about [helping]," he said.
Having a clear vision of what they're trying to accomplish and having adequate resources are two main obstacles that students, as well as any entrepreneur, may face when first starting a business, he said.
Getting involved and taking advantage of the resources will help overcome them, as the Midwest Beer Club has worked hard to do.
Along with the ISU Pappajohn Center and the ISU College of Business, there are also numerous resources available to entrepreneurs outside of the academic realm, such as the Small Business Development Center in Ames.
Cook hopes to raise awareness about these resources available to ISU students.
"I want to make sure that everyone understands that there are all of these opportunities to get involved—through the Pappajohn Center, Small Business Development Center, entrepreneurship club, and even post graduation there's Startup Factory, Square One…," Cook said. "They want to help, and people just don't know it sometimes."

Wikipedia's entry for They Might Be Giants
Barenaked Ladies, Crash Test Dummies
Own and select covers
i personally found everything post Apollo 18 exceeding bad. i wasn't even all that thrilled with Apollo 18, though i have to admit, the shuffle sequencing option definitely is nice and novel. and there are some darn good songs on their, though nothing as sparkling as their earlier stuff.
truth is, They Might Be Giants [TMBG] got boring after they became a full band (right around Apollo 18). and this is coming from someone who used to be a DIE HARD fan.
i discovered They Might Be Giants through their video "Don't Let Start". still a great song. their first eponymous album, (which was rereleased along in 2 set i think along with Lincoln their second album, and a bunch of BSIDES that had been compiled and released already under the title MISCELLANEOUS T) is great. i have it vinyl, and probably have worn the grooves out, since the purchase way back when.
Lincoln their second album spawned a few minor college hit ("Ana Ng", and "They'll Need A Crane") but i never really got into it. but it was their third album (and major label debut i think) that really had them make their mark on the map. Flood is probably the one that i recommend as the most accessible, fun, catchy, and easiest to listen to. you'll probably remember the songs from the radio "Birdhouse In Your Soul", and "Istanbul Not Constantinople" were the two big hits, but the rest of the album is also delightfully quirky and cheerful.
by the following album though (Apollo 18), they were getting a little long in the tooth. They Might Be Giants always prided themselves on packing their albums full of songs. this often meant the vinyl/cassette recording of 45 minutes of 17 or 18 songs. if you calculate that out, the average song ended up being 2.5 minutes long. with the new 74+ minute CD format becoming the standard though, They Might Be Giants again wanted to give their fans their money's worth and hence, maxed out the CD, with all that they could. except they were still recording 18 to 20 songs per CD. songs went from 2.5 min to roughly 4 min. by average.
what sounds fun and perky for two and half minutes, gets kinda old and tiresome at four minutes.
part of it had to do with longer songs, but part of it also had to do with the fact that it was no longer two guys fooling around amusing themselves and their fans. two other members joined in fleshing out the band into a four piece. no longer were they spontaneous and whimsical, they were, well, they were starting to sound like a generic four-piece band. they started to write real honest to goodness structured songs.
i mean didn't listen to They Might Be Giants for songs. i listened to They Might Be Giants for little short ditties. little snipbits of fun. not for chorus verse chorus bridge verse chorus. nope. nothin' doin' They Might Be Giants had lost their spontaniety. and thus my interest wained. i lost interest in them shortly after purchasing John Henry and really haven't tried to pick up since then.
perhaps my tastes have changed, i haven't really listened to any earlier They Might Be Giants either. but something tells me, if i were to put on Flood or their first album, i would be bouncing all over the room, singing along to "Don't don't don't let start"......
so my advice. get Flood. work your way back. then work forward. (5/99, iflin@speakeasy.net)
just wanted to chime in and tack my name onto the list of tmbg fans. i find my infatuation with them rather odd, in that it simply never ends: i don't get sick of their stuff, even though sometimes when i sit back and think about it it seems it should be a little too gimmicky to last. like irvin, i found myself a little taken aback by the "full band" sound of john henry at first, but unlike irvin i found it grew on me too, and now i'm equally comfortable with either side of the spectrum. i find that several songs from each album miss the mark for me, but none to the point where i have to skip them when listening.
i think with tmbg i was originally attracted by the absurdity of their stuff, and then permanently hooked by their style, their flair, and the fact that i find their voices/accents lots of fun to sing along with and imitate. :)
i don't know that they're particularly ecto fodder, as i don't see them discussed much here, but i guess i have a tendency to put anything i like that seems intelligent, interesting, thoughtful for "more different than most" under the ecto umbrella (and yes, there's some stuff i like for whatever reason that i wouldn't really consider intelligent, interesting, thoughtful for different ;).
i think one of the defining tracks of the tmbg experience is from misc t, and is the unlabelled 13th track. it's not even a song—it is, if i remember correctly, a message left on their "dial a song" machine, and i'm not even going to *try* to describe it here. find a friend with misc t, listen to the track, know something about tmbg.
i think neil guy once referred to tmbg as the proverbial monkeys at their proverbial typewriters. not everyone's cup of tea, and not particularly ecto, but definitely worth checking out if you're not put off by what you've heard about them. :) (damon)
Comments about live performance:
Another funny band that I saw was They Might be Giants. I was into them when I was maybe 15 or 16. It was interesting to see how they changed from 2 guys with a backing tape to a full band. They were even better with a band. They did crazy stuff like dueling musicians: one guy playing against the other guy. They had a funny thing with two long puppets for the encore. (stunning@tezcat.com)
anyway, i'll definitely recommend seeing them live for anyone who is attracted by their absurdity...it carries over into live delivery quite well. we all agreed that they were, somehow, "even more like we expected than we expected". :) the two johns complement each other in a way that can't really come across in a recording...john flansburgh jumping around the stage, lifting the microphone poll high above his head, pounding a huge drum out over the heads of the front row (and actually hitting someone by accident, for which we saw him apologising profusely), and soliciting guitar chords from the audience; john linnell mostly staying put at the keyboards or standing with his accordion, making strange faces, looking somehow vaguely acerbic, vaguely excited, and vaguely a little like neither of the above, but overall like he was really enjoying himself (i think)—hard to describe, but somehow he looked like someone you'd really like to know, and yet you'd never know quite what to expect from him.
the music was great...they showcased some new stuff but the volume was so high i didn't get a good feel for any of the new songs...i think everyone was there for the good old rockers anyway; i swear i thought the floor was going to give out. i think it's neat the way They Might Be Giants songs start out being captivating for the strange sounds and strange lyrics, grow on you to the point where you just-about-but-not-quite "get" the lyrics, and then metamorphose into just really great songs you can listen to over and over. (well, this is my experience...if you don't like They Might Be Giants, you don't like They Might Be Giants i suppose). (damon)

flood is probably one of the best starting points. after all, it contains "birdhouse in your soul", which is quite possibly my all-time favourite tmbg track, if i'm ever forced to choose an all-time favourite. it's a song about a night-light, which is a sort of typically tmbgish theme. (damon)

I love They Might Be Giants's work. I think they are brilliant at what they do. In my opinion Apollo 18 is the definitive They Might Be Giants so far—especially when played in shuffle mode. (justicek@edge.ercnet.com)
apollo 18 is excellent but much harsher or..."rockier"...sounding to my ears. which put me off at first until it grew on me. the "fingertips" series of tracks is incredibly well done; i think my single favourite track is probably "dinner bell", though it's a close call. (damon)

What might have been an awesome album is merely great. The patented weirdness of They Might Be Giants is toned down somewhat by the "rock band" format of the record, and their concerts were a tad clichéd. But the songwriting is still good and the songs show it. A few classics on this album, but a little inconsistent. (relph@presto.ig.com)
they have a lot of albums, and i've only heard john henry. i like most of it, but there are some songs i absolutely hate. detest. perhaps abhor. (JoAnn Whetsell)
john henry continued the "harshness" trend, and of course was the full band album. took longer to grow on me, but definitely still did. hm...hard to pick a favourite; there are so many great ones. ah, wait, "destination moon", definitely. (damon)

2 CD set of early material: unreleased tracks, two early albums, EPs, cassettes, Dial-a-Song phone messages, etc.
it's basically their first three albums (They Might Be Giants, lincoln, miscellaneous t) along with a bunch of (er, 19) bonus tracks of various sorts. recommended, i think, mostly for raving tmbg fans, completists, or people who don't have the first three albums. i'm definitely not the latter, but i'm enough of the first two to make me quite happy with it. one slight disappointment, though, is the clarity of the liner notes...i certainly never expected to have anything about tmbg explained to me in such simple terms. it would have been more satisfying, somehow, if the booklet had made no sense at all ;).
i adore their first two albums, but it might be best to hold off on them and misc t until/if you decide you're a complete tmbg freak. favourite from tmbg: "she"s an angel". favourite from lincoln: "ana ng". (damon)

i also picked up tmbg's new live album, severe tire damage. these are usually quite different from the studio versions. plus a few extra tracks, typically tmbuggy...and a series of "hidden" tracks which is absolutely hilarious, but i won't say more. i think it's a great overview, though sadly a lot of the songs seem to lose something when they shed the studio production sound, at least in recording. still, you get their rendition of "why does the sun shine?" (i also have the single of this) and the version of "meet james ensor" on here is to die for, with john and john filling in the missing instrument parts with their voices.... definitely recommended :) (damon)

factory showroom was another big change of direction. much more produced sounding, and...what's the style i'm looking for...maybe "discoish". in parts. some excellent tracks, including "spiraling shape" which was in the kids in the hall movie, brain candy. my favourite on here is probably "metal detector", though again it's hard to pick.

Digby Diehl,Theodora Getty Gaston
It was 1935. Flame-haired Teddy Lynch finished singing "Alone Together" at the swanky nightclub the New Yorker and left the stage to find a charming stranger at her friends' table. It was Jean Paul Getty, enigmatic oil tycoon and America's first billionaire.
In her passionate, unflinchingly honest memoir of two outsize lives entwined, Theodora "Teddy" Getty Gaston—now one hundred years old—reveals the glamorous yet painful story of her marriage to Getty. As formidable as he was, Teddy was equally strong-minded and flamboyant, and their clutches and clashes threw off sparks. She knew the vulnerable side of Getty—he underwent painful plastic surgery and suffered terrible phobias—that few, if any, saw.
A vivid love story, Alone Together is also a fascinating glimpse into the twentieth century from the vantage point of one of its most remarkable couples. This is how the other half lived—dinner dances, satin gowns, beach houses, hotel suites, first-class cabins on the Queen Mary. Teddy's extra-ordinary life story moves from the glittering nightclubs of 1930s New York City to Mussolini's Italy, where she was imprisoned by the fascist regime, to California in the golden postwar years, where Paul and Teddy socialized with movie stars and the elite.
But life with one of the world's richest men wasn't all glitz and glamour. Though terrifically charismatic in person, Getty grew more miserly as his wealth increased. Worse, he often left Teddy and their son, Timothy, behind for years at a time while he built planes for the war effort in the 1940s or brokered oil deals—he was the first American to lease mineral rights in Saudi Arabia, which made him, at his death, the richest man in the world. Even when Timothy was diagnosed with a brain tumor, Getty complained about medical bills and failed to return to the United States to support his wife and son. When Timothy died at age twelve, the marriage was already falling apart.
Teddy's unrelenting spirit, her valiant friendship, and her winning lack of vanity transform what could have been a sob story into a nuanced portrait of a brilliant but stubbornly difficult man and the family he loved but left behind, as well as an enchanting view into a bygone era. This was a life lived from the heart.

Frank Judd – 1978 Statement on the Council Of Ministers' Meetings
April 4, 2020 admin	1978, Frank Judd, Speeches
Below is the text of the statement made by Frank Judd, the then Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, in the House of Commons on 25 May 1978.
With your permission, Mr. Speaker, I will make a statement about business to be taken by Ministers of the European Community during June. The monthly written forecast was deposited on Tuesday 23rd May.
At present, six meetings of the Council of Ministers are proposed for June. The Foreign Affairs Council will meet on 6th June and again on 26th and 27th June. The Transport Council will meet on 12th June, the Finance Council on 19th June, the Agriculture Council on 19th and 20th June and the Social Affairs Council on 29th June. In addition, it is probable that Fisheries Ministers will meet on or around 19th June.
The Foreign Affairs Council is expected to review progress on the common strategy for growth and employment which is to be considered at the European Council at Bremen. Within this framework, Ministers will discuss questions of economic and trade policy and their consequences for Community industry. The Council will continue its discussion of the Commission's survey of the implications of enlargement—known as the "fresco"—and will also consider a progress report on the Greek accession  negotiations and the Commission's opinion on Portugal's application for membership.
The Council will also discuss the Community's relations with the Council of Mutual Economic Assistance—which is the economic grouping of the Soviet Union and its allies, sometimes known as COMECON—progress in trade negotiations with Yugoslavia, relations between the Community and Australia, a report by the Commission on their contacts with the Japanese Government, and a Commission communication on shipbuilding. The Council will examine the statement to be made by the Community at the opening of renegotiation of the Lomé Convention.
The Transport Council is expected to consider maritime pollution caused by oil tanker accidents, the United Nations code of conduct for liner conferences, maritime competition by State trading countries of Eastern Europe, priorities for work on civil aviation matters, commercial vehicle taxation systems, drivers' hours, co-operation between railway undertakings and, possibly, the harmonisation of summer time.
The Agriculture Council will consider proposals for the organisation of the markets in mutton and lamb, and in potatoes. Fisheries Ministers may consider the future of reciprocal fishing arrangements with third countries, particularly Norway, Sweden and the Faroes, and may also resume discussion of the revision of the common fisheries policy.
The Finance Council is expected to consider the action needed in pursuit of the common strategy for economic recovery; and, possibly, the draft directive on life assurance.
The Social Affairs Council is expected to consider aids to promote the employment of young people, an action programme on safety and health at work, a proposal for protecting workers exposed to the gas vinyl chloride monomer used in the manufacture of PVC plastic material, and a Commission statement on the European Trade Union Institute. Members are also expected to consider the implications for the free movement of labour of the transfer of workers between member States during industrial disputes.
Mr. John Davies
Does the Minister of State agree that this month, for which he has just advertised the programme, contains a quite unusually high number of critical matters? Apart from the continuing issues, there are new developments of a major kind in terms of trade policy, enlargement, relations with COMECON, relations with Australia and New Zealand—in the latter case in respect of sheep meat—and the start of the renegotiation of Lomé. All of these are fundamental issues of prime importance.
I notice that in all these matters there is likely to be a major impact on overseas political relationships, and I wonder whether there is provision for a political co-operation meeting during the month as well. The hon. Gentleman made no announcement of it. Perhaps he would say whether that is so. If it were, presumably it would also be preparing, as the Foreign Affairs Council is, for the meeting of the European Council. If that is so, ought it not to prepare for the European Council taking a clear position on relationships with COMECON? It seems to be necessary that we should point out that for a community which is so dedicated, as the European Community is, to the principles of the freedom of the individual, to be taking on such negotiations shortly after the gross affront to human rights involved in the Orlov trial is extremely questionable.
May I put it to the hon. Gentleman that recent events in Africa must be taken into account and that the European Community must prepare itself for handling a problem which has wrongly been presented as one which is simply safeguarding European lives? Is it realised that the need for the presence of Europeans throughout Africa is essential to the continuation of prosperity in that continent and that, if Europeans are to be discouraged by such events without any hope of help other than a last-minute emergency operation, the possibility in the future of having essential expatriates in Africa will be in question, and that affects the prosperity of the continent as a whole?
Mr. Judd
I thank the right hon. Gentleman for those very searching questions. About the high level of significance of the work before the Council, I do not dispute what he says. But as he will understand from his experience, this is  always inclined to happen towards the end of a presidency. We are coming to the end of the Danish presidency, and inevitably matters accumulate on the agenda. I would, however, take this opportunity to pay a warm tribute to the effectiveness with which our Danish colleagues have conducted their presidency, especially under Mr. K. B. Andersen, their Foreign Secretary.
As for political co-operation, of course, the issues which are mentioned have great international political significance. But I put it to the right hon. Gentleman that the fact that we are to discuss substantial issues within the existing main machinery of the Community indicates that there may not necessarily be a need for a political commentary as distinct from this. Sometimes I think that the distinction drawn between economic and social matters and political matters is a little artificial. Inevitably, a great many economic and social discussions have political consequences. But the main discussions will be within the formal Councils themselves. If necessary, political co-operation can take place in the margins.
Turning to the right hon. Gentleman's question about COMECON, of course we are all deeply concerned. Everyone in this House is concerned about human rights in the Soviet Union, as they are about the human rights in other parts of the world. This will be very much in our minds as we deliberate.
The right hon. Gentleman then referred to Africa and made a very constructive comment. It is the fact, of course, that European and other co-operation in Africa is essential to economic and social progress. We have to look for ways in which this can be undertaken in safety and security. That is a problem that we all face and if, within the Community, we can tackle it, I am sure that that will be good progress.
Mr. Speaker
May I seek the co-operation of the House? If hon. Members would ask brief questions it would be a great help because many want to speak in the later debate, and there is an important point of order before that.
As we have been promised repeatedly a radical reform of the common agricultural policy, which is essential to this country, will my hon. Friend say whether British Ministers will put forward  positive proposals for such reform at these meetings?
I assure my right hon. Friend that we are practically committed to this. The Minister of Agriculture has demonstrated what we have been able to achieve in his recent activities in the Council of Ministers. We shall have this very much in mind in our approach to Mediterranean agriculture, enlargement of the Community and the reorganisation of mutton and lamb. Our objective is to avoid unnecessary surpluses, to look to the interests of consumers more effectively than in the past and to ensure fair access to the Community for the produce of third countries.
Mr. Warren
Will the Minister bear in mind that there was some doubt about whether there would be a meeting of Fisheries Ministers in June? Will he assure us that his European colleagues are not running away from the very fair and reasonable position that has been put forward by this country, and will he press them to agree to a sensible conservation policy for European fisheries?
There is a good point in that question because we do want an effective common fisheries policy. We do not want stocks to evaporate because there is no policy. That policy must be fair and must be seen to be fair, and the way in which there has been a certain amount of ganging up in order to isolate Britain in the past is not the way to achieve results.
Mr. Ioan Evans
What view will the Government take about the harmonisation of summer time in view of the fact that in the Scotland and Wales Bill there were disharmonising proposals put forward at that time?
On the more serious point about proposals from the United Nations disarmament conference, will this matter figure largely on the agenda of the Foreign Affairs Council?
On the point about summer time, it is early days yet. Theoretically, we see the case for harmonisation and we have no blind objections to the principle. However, we want to be very satisfied that there is a great deal of common ground between countries. At present the directive put forward is very tentative and we do not see immediate results.
On the wider point, disarmament is not a matter on the agenda of the Council of Ministers. However, we are, as individual countries within the Community, taking this matter up and, as I said yesterday in the House, I am very glad that the British Government are taking a leading role at that conference.
Mr. Dykes
Is the Minister aware that the European trademarks office and registry is to be kept up in the early 1980s? I know that that seems a long way away, but discussions are already beginning. Will he press immediately, by way of a preliminary agenda of the Council of Ministers, for that to be considered for location in Britain, preferably in London? On all the evidence we have, the British trademarks industry, if I may call it that, is superior to similar industries in the other member States, and most of the work is done in English anyway.
We take that point very seriously. Obviously, the more we can become directly involved in the life of the Community, with institutions established in this country, for example, the more demonstrable will be the fact that we are all working together.
Mr. Spearing
On the organisation of the mutton and lamb market, does my hon. Friend recall that the Minister of Agriculture said that he would seek complete safeguards? Has he heard the New Zealanders say that the only complete safeguard is no regime at all? If there is a regime, will he agree that it will include higher prices or intervention stocks or both, and therefore will he not say that the British Government intend to resist any regime of any sort in this commodity?
I do wish that my hon. Friend would join my campaign to get rid of this ugly jargon, and stop using the word "regime". If we could just talk about a marketing system I would be a great deal more content. We must break free from the connotations associated with words such as "regime". We see ourselves committed to working towards a marketing system for mutton and lamb but we believe that it must be the right marketing system. In that marketing system we are determined that  there shall be proper, fair and adequate access for New Zealand, to which we are deeply committed.
Mr. Jim Spicer
During the visit of the Prime Minister of Turkey two weeks ago, the Minister of State met him, and the Prime Minister made quite clear his concern about the way in which the association agreement between the EEC and Turkey had been eroded over the years. Does the Minister consider that the agreement is a matter of vital urgency, which should be discussed and renegotiated at the same time as we deal with the negotiations for the enlargement of the Community?
We are all well aware of the anxieties of Turkey about the association agreement and, of course, as enlargement takes place, Turkey will study the implications. We must look very seriously at the Community to make sure that the association agreement is meaningful, practical and helpful for Turkey.
Mr. Christopher Price
Will my hon. Friend assure us that there is no binding link between the renegotiation of the association agreement with Turkey—or indeed any association between Turkey and the Council of Foreign Ministers in political co-operation—and the accession of Greece? Will he agree that these issues must be treated separately?
My hon. Friend is right. We are completely committed to the accession of Greece to the Community and we want to see it happen as soon as possible. There are no conditions attached to this in terms of our future relationship with Turkey. That is a separate issue but we take very seriously our future relationships with Turkey, both bilaterally and within the Community, and we believe that there is a certain amount of work to be done in that respect.
Although I am a devout supporter of the European idea, I am at a loss to know what I am meant to do as a result of this statement today about these almost religious feast days we face next month in Europe. What am I supposed to do about them?
I would suggest that the hon. Member should turn up for all the  debates in the House on these matters and make his voice heard.
Mr. Molloy
Will my hon. Friend examine an issue which is causing some concern in local government and among local authorities—the activities of the British Council? This council appears to make itself an adjunct of the Common Market organisation by offering public money to British authorities to enable town clerks and councillors to go to the EEC to make certain arrangements between British cities and cities in the EEC to the exclusion of those in other parts of Europe and the Commonwealth.
If my hon. Friend would approach me specifically on that matter I shall look into it and reassure him.
Mr. Blaker
Will the Minister of State think again about the doubts he expressed on the need for a meeting on political co-operation? Surely one of the lessons learned from recent events in various parts of the world, and particularly in Africa, is that there should be early discussions by the Foreign Ministers about the need for better concerting EEC foreign policy?
I assure the hon. Member that we have political co-operation very high on the list of our priorities. We are always in favour of political co-operation meetings when these make sense. They can be arranged at short notice in the margins of other meetings, although they are not part of the formal meetings of Councils as such.
Mr. Loyden
Is my hon. Friend aware that about one-third of dairy farmers in Australia have been driven out of business in recent years partly because of dumping of dairy goods in Australia? Is he also aware that about £1,000 million in this year's EEC budget will be used to carry out more dumping of dairy produce in Australia? Does my hon. Friend think that the British taxpayers should be asked to bear the cost of driving Australian dairy farmers out of business?
We certainly do not want to drive Australian dairy farmers or any Australians out of work. There will be very important talks between the Community and the special Minister in the Australian Government charged with  trade relations abroad on 8th and 9th June. Having met this Minister bilaterally we, as a Government, are determined to see constructive progress in those talks.
Mr. Wiggin
Will the Minister look at the recent farm price review arrangements and not keep referring to them in such euphoric terms? Is it not a fact that France and Italy did considerably better out of the price review than we did. It was, in fact, one of the highest in real terms and not the lowest as he described it, and furthermore it gave the highest increases to the three products in the greatest surplus. What plans will the Government take to the next Council of Agriculture Ministers to deal with the structural surpluses on the Continent? We have not heard anything from the Government about this yet.
I believe that the hon. Gentleman does not represent the view held by most people in this country who as consumers are content that their Minister has managed to bring down to reasonable proportions some of the proposals that were being discussed in the Council of Ministers. That is no mean achievement. I believe that my right hon. Friend has not only achieved that for the people of this country, but that as a result of his efforts, consumers throughout the Community are beginning to see the relevance of British priorities for reform of the CAP.
Mr. Flannery
Does my hon. Friend agree that in the course of trading and political relations with COMECON countries and particularly the Soviet Union, we must be clearly seen not to have double standards on the question of political trials with which we disagree? Does my hon. Friend agree, therefore, that when the Conservatives refer only to trials in those countries it would help us in our relations with them if the Conservatives were seen, as a possible alternative Government about 30 years or so hence, to criticise—
Order. I regret having to interrupt the hon. Gentleman, but I should point out to him that we are discussing the Common Market. His supplementary question sounded indirectly more like one for business of the House.
Mr. Flannery
The question of political trials, including the Orlov trial, was raised by the right hon. Member for Knutsford (Mr. Davies). I raised it precisely because the right hon. Gentleman raised it.
The hon. Gentleman is quite right, I heard the right hon. Gentleman raise the subject.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Body
Is it true that on 19th and 20th June Agriculture Ministers will be discussing a potato regime? May we have an assurance that no final decision will be made until the Commission's draft proposals are available in this country so that not only we in this House but the farmers organisations which will be affected will have a chance to examine them?
We have many reservations on proposals for a marketing system for potatoes, and in that context we shall certainly want to take fully into account the views held in the House.
Mr. Forman
Notwithstanding the technical point which the Minister understandably made about the Danish presidency, does he not feel that from the long list that he read out in his statement these Council of Ministers' meetings are becoming overloaded? Are the Government looking at some way of diminishing the burden on the Council of Ministers, perhaps by strengthening the role of the permanent representatives? What do they intend to do about that?
One of the contributions made to the work of the Community during the British presidency was to shift a great deal of the work on to the permanent representatives as distinct from the Council of Ministers. We want to continue this trend so that Ministers may concentrate on real policy issues. I am sure that the hon. Member will agree that in doing that we must not lose sight of the overriding principle that it must be the Ministers, not the officials, who make the policies, and that the Ministers must be accountable to their domestic Parliaments.

OU College of Fine Arts / School of Music / Areas & Ensembles / Jazz Program / Bachelor's Degrees
The University of Oklahoma offers two bachelor's degrees that allow students to pursue a jazz emphasis (Bachelor of Musical Arts and Bachelor of Arts in Music, described below).
Students can also participate in the jazz program while pursuing other music major degrees. You can also pursue the Instrumental Jazz Minor while pursuing a degree outside of the School of Music.
Bachelor of Musical Arts
The BMA is a music performance degree that also allows the student to take approximately 30 credit hours in a secondary emphasis. Students in this degree program present one recital and participate in ensembles for a minimum of three years. The secondary emphasis allows students to pursue additional studies either within the School of Music or in other departments and colleges at the University of Oklahoma.
Students who choose a secondary emphasis from within the School of Music have four options: music technology, jazz emphasis, academic emphasis, and theatre organ.
Students who pursue an emphasis outside of the School of Music have a wide array of options when it comes to fulfilling their secondary emphasis requirements. Many choose to pursue a minor in another area of study. At last count, OU has over one hundred available minor degree options.
The BMA program is an excellent degree program for students interested in going into professional programs such as medical school, dental school, physician's assistant programs, or law school. Students typically use the secondary emphasis to fulfill pre-health or pre-law coursework.
