He would tell the audience; "We want you to enjoy yourselves, so eat, drink, and be merry. Pretend you're on the Titanic." When announcing forthcoming attractions, he would proclaim, "What a galaxy of talent the club has in store for you, appearing at the club later in the year will be, The Dagenham Girl Pipers, the massed bands of the RAF, and Charles Manson has agreed to do a week." Followed by, "You don't seem very impressed, why don't you all hold hands and see if you can contact the living." While researching this article I came across a piece on Eddie Condon, who ran his own jazz club in New York, from 1945 to 1967. He also cracked a joke very similar to Ronnie's 'galaxy of talent' gag.
As for the club itself, Ronnie would state, "It's just like home - filthy and full of strangers." I recall being in Pete King's office between sets with Ronnie and bass player Kenny Baldock cracked a joke that Ronnie hadn't heard, and he liked it so much he introduced it into his act. Over the years, I attended the club the jokes hardly varied, and even though I knew the punch lines, I still laughed at Ronnie's deadpan routine.
Ronnie was one of the most complex characters you could meet, he was a manic-depressive who suffered from depression, and on several occasions, it led to problems. I recall one time visiting the club, and when I asked about his whereabouts, I was told that he was resting. On this occasion, Ronnie took his tenor with him and practiced daily, which got on everybody's nerves, and they had to take the reed out to give the other people a rest. Although Ronnie hated practicing, he kept blowing in a silent mode where only the clicks of the pads could be heard.
Throughout Ronnie's late career, he had self-doubts about his playing, which is probably why he hardly recorded. I remember an incident when Ronnie performed at the 1978 Montreux Jazz Festival, in a group that included, Clark Terry, Milt Jackson, Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, and Bobby Durham. Norman Granz paid all the musicians all their fees up front and, as there was a casino on the premises, Ronnie decided to pay the tables a visit. I was heading to the dressing room when I spied Ronnie coming out with a long face and asked, "What's up." He solemnly replied; "I've just been in the Casino, and I've done all my money on the roulette tables, I'm playing for nothing tonight." In the space of an hour, Ronnie had blown his wages, and this may have been on his mind when he went on stage, as he didn't play well. On one tune, he played in the wrong key and according to Oscar Peterson, was playing some weird stuff. It was like Ronnie was having an out of body, or out of wallet experience, and his performance was more 'swung' than swing, which was a shame. Ronnie a much better player than this performance suggests, and I genuinely felt sorry for Ronnie.
In 1981, Ronnie received his 'gong' and was awarded the OBE. Pete's MBE came some twenty years later, and in the inaugural BBC jazz awards, Pete won the lifetime achievement award, presented to him by the Rolling Stone drummer Charlie Watts. As far as I am concerned, Pete's MBE came a little late, and he should have been recognised at the same time as Ronnie. One critic wrote; "Few figures in the somewhat chequered history of jazz music in Britain can have so richly deserved the 'Services to British Jazz' award that Pete King received in 2002." The truth of the matter is Pete deserved more, perhaps even a tap on the shoulder from the Queen. Over the past four decades, various governments have handed out 'gongs' like Smarties, and I've seen many film, and pop stars receive a knighthood, and for what?
Pete and Ronnie never had a contract, all they needed was a handshake. They rarely had disagreements, and it was never on the cards that they might split up. When not on stage Ronnie didn't involve himself in marketing and promoting of the club, which bore his name. He left this part of the business to Pete, who built up the reputation of the club to where it became famous throughout the world. Pete once said, "I'm bloody proud of this place - and I know Ronnie is though he's not inclined to say so." It may be Ronnie's name above the door, but the success of the club was down to Pete, he put in the long hours, booked the acts, and made sure the business ran smoothly. Pete's 'inner sanctum' was a dark office situated behind the stage, and the walls covered with a montage of photos of all the great jazz artists that have appeared at Ronnie's.
Pete King is the unsung hero of the club, and without him, it would have fallen to piece's years ago. The Club has been through some great times and had its share of hard times, but Pete was always there, with a steady hand on the tiller until they had weathered the storm. The renowned British jazz critic Alun Morgan told me; "If he walked away with a million pounds for the club, it wouldn't be enough for what Pete King did for the club and the British jazz scene;" a sentiment that no one can disagree with.
When I managed Steve White and Alan Barnes band, The Jazz Renegades, I phoned Pete to ask for a support slot at the club. I wanted the band opposite a heavyweight who could pull in the punters. Pete said, "Sure Dennis no problem, they can play opposite Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers." Not only was Art one of Steve's heroes, but it also guaranteed the boys played to a full house every night. Pete didn't have to do this, as he owed me nothing.
Pete had a less well-known passion for motor racing and competed in a handful of European Touring Car Championship races in the 1970s, and was persuaded by Brands Hatch boss John Webb, to sponsor a series of production car races at the Kent circuit. He was also briefly involved in the management of Johnny Herbert.
In June 2005, he sold the club to Michael Watt and the impresario Sally Greene, who owned the Old Vic theatre. The French designer Jacques Garcia handled the club's refurbishment, which took three months and cost nearly a million pound. Ronnie must have turned in his grave, and I can hear him saying; "A million quid? Why didn't they just chuck a hand grenade in the place?" They gave Pete the title of Honorary President, and Benny Green's son Leo was hired as artistic director to take over Pete's thorny crown.
Ronnie's future looked to be secure, but everyone wondered whether it would make the grade without Pete at the helm. There were complaints about the policy of booking pop artists like Joan Armatrading and Marty Pelow, and the validity of them playing in the premier jazz club in Europe. It would have done wonders for their ego's, but most jazz fans cringed at the idea of these artists appearing on the very same stage that Ella, Dizzy, Sonny Rollins and the many other jazz giants played.
Punters complained about the club being clinical, and another declared; "Too shiny, it reminds me of a sanitised cruise ship. One music publicist declared; "It used to be a jazz club, but the atmosphere has changed – it's lost its heart." He was half-right with that statement when Ronnie died the soul of the club died with him, and when Pete retired the heart of the club stopped beating. I recall when I last spoke to Pete, I had to shout as he was now deaf, though his mind was still sound. Pete died on December 20, 2009, joining his best friend Ronnie, in that great big band in the sky, which at least he doesn't have to manage.
No matter how much they spend, or who owns Ronnie's, the club will never be the same without Ronnie and Pete. They made the club, not the décor and they were the very essence of the club, the mortar holding the bricks together. What Ronnie and Pete put into The Club, no amount of money can buy. When they started out it wasn't just an investment to make money, they wanted to establish a proper jazz club in Britain. While Ronnie had a more mercurial presence, Pete King had an imposing aura, and both are irreplaceable.
The club seems to be doing OK, but when I went to Ronnie's it wasn't just for the jazz, I enjoyed chewing the fat with Ronnie, Pete, and other regulars, something that I can no longer do. It is only now looking back that I realise and appreciate just how lucky and privileged I was that Ronnie, and particularly Pete allowed me to visit the club during their golden days.

I truly believe, especially now, that we need to remember the lives lived by people with disabilities; those caged and those free. Our lives and our stories matter, we have things to say and we have things to contribute and because of that - we have lived and are living memorable lives.
Dave have you heard anything about the class action suit against the provincial government here in Ontario for incarceration in Institutions and the abuse and neglect that occurred there, This settlement would do much to help people deal with the horrific conditions that were part of their lives for so long. There was a short documentary on CBC radio and then nothing. I would sure like to hear what is happening.

Q: Lazy evaluation and promise data structure I have been grappling with the application of promise since I first read about it on Advanced R. It is mentioned that a promise is a data structure that powers lazy evaluation. The concept of lazy evaluation is quite clear as function arguments are only evaluated whenever they are accessed. However, in some examples I just cannot discover the presence of a promise and how/where it is evaluated. Consider the following example from Advanced R:
y <- 10
h02 <- function(x) {
  y <- 100
  x + 1
}

h02(y)
[1] 11

It returns 11 instead of 101, as apparently when we assign a variable like y which already exists in the global environment to x it is bound and evaluated outside of the function.
So I would like to know is a promise always involved some sort of assignment or every expression could be a promise and how we can detect their presence.
It is mentioned that they are evaluated in the calling environment of a function. So the second question is are their evaluation environments different from normal arguments as user-defined arguments are evaluated outside of the function.
There is also another example which I cannot understand why it involves lazy evaluation, and we only see Calculating... once.
double <- function(x) {
message("Calculating...")
x * 2
}
h03 <- function(x) {
c(x, x)
}
h03(double(20))
Calculating...
[1] 40 40

I am so sorry if I sound a little bit confused here, I got the point but it has never quite sunk in and I wanted to ask for a little bit of explanation for which I am very grateful.
Thank you very much in advance

A: When an object such as y within h02 is created in a function it is created in the local execution frame/environment of that function (a new frame is created each time the function is run).  The created object is distinct from an object of the same name in any other environment.
Regarding h03 once a promise is forced, i.e. evaluated, its value is stored in the promise's value component and its evaled component is set to TRUE so that upon further accesses it does not have to be evaluated again.
Arguments of functions are promises but normally not other objects.  Use pryr to inspect objects.
library(pryr)

f <- function(x) {
  z <- 1

  cat("is_promise(z):", is_promise(z), "\n")

  cat("is_promise(x):", is_promise(x), "\n")
  cat("before forcing - promise_info(x):\n")
  print(promise_info(x))

  force(x)
  cat("after forcing - promise_info(x):\n")
  print(promise_info(x))

  delayedAssign("w", 3)
  cat("is_promise(w):", is_promise(w), "\n")

  invisible()
}
a <- 3
f(a)

giving:
is_promise(z): FALSE
is_promise(x): TRUE
before forcing - promise_info(x):
$code
a

$env
<environment: R_GlobalEnv>

$evaled
[1] FALSE

$value
NULL

after forcing - promise_info(x):
$code
a

$env
NULL

$evaled
[1] TRUE

$value
[1] 3

is_promise(w): TRUE

Q: ADF source integration issues with multiple developers We have two developers using the same ADF. Each developer creates a git branch and starts working on it. Each developer can save the changes to their own git branch but there can only be one collaboration branch and this branch decides the publishing branch. This is causing a blockade (for one of the developer. How can we solve this ?
ADF publish branch can be set using a publish_config.json but now there is an option to set this in the adf itself. which one takes precedence? What is the best practice here?

A: You need to manage the work of each developer with standard git branch/merge processes.  When one dev is done with work in their feature branch, then they will create a pull request to merge changes into your collaboration branch.
If the second dev has not created a feature branch yet, they can just do so after the pull request from the first dev is complete and then continue work from there.  If the second dev has already created a feature branch, then they will need to merge the new changes from the collaboration branch into their feature branch to continue work before later committing to git and creating a pull request to merge changes from their feature branch back into the collaboration branch. From there, you can publish as needed.
This git work can be done through the ADF editor as well as through any other git interface you have.  It's up to you.
This article discusses the process in specific detail using the ADF editor.
EDIT:
I believe you now have answers for this from 3 of the other 5 questions you posted about this same topic in the past day.
ADF publish confusion in git mode
Azure data factory working-branch confusion
When ADF publish branch is git protected how to publish?
Here is another article which describes the fundamental git process for ADF to help bring you up to speed with the fundamentals of how the different branches work, and how you can switch publish branches on the fly if needed.


A blend of Chardonnay (87%) and Pinot Noir that has been bottle fermented and aged on the yeast lees for four years.
The grapes were grown biodynamically in Quartz Reef's own Bendigo vineyard.
Much more lively and elegant than the Pinot Noir-dominant non-vintage Quartz Reef Methode.
The wine has an appealing lightness and an ethereal texture but certainly does not lack concentration of power.
The wild strawberry, cranberry and yeasty cinnamon toast notes are focused and elegant, with a touch of rhubarb pie on the refreshing finish, complemented by a gentle fizz.
Ripe and fleshy, with wild raspberry, cherry, cranberry and cola flavors that are complex and spicy, accented by red licorice and tobacco leaf details, finishing firm. Drink now through 2025.
Precise, offering crisp, fresh apple, strawberry and lime sherbet flavors, with floral highlights, a hint of brine and a long, crisp finish. Balances intensity with elegance.


So says the Cabinet Office, in its strategy for government IT. It's an admirable goal, but there's more that can be done to improve public sector services than just modernising and optimising technology.
Here in the United Kingdom, it's easy to grumble about government inefficiency when it comes to basic services: paying taxes, registering a business, getting a driver's license, even registering to vote. Endless forms and bureaucratic processes confuse and alienate citizens, rather than offering simple, intuitive touch points that either provide relevant information or disappear altogether because the process is so neatly integrated into our lives. The government is keen to provide better public services, but clearly something is missing.
We may think dissatisfaction in government services is just part and parcel of being a citizen, but around the world, public sector organisations are revolutionising the way they interact with people. In Estonia, citizens don't just pay their taxes online, they simply authorise an online tax statement that's been fed real-time financial data over the course of the previous year, while Rwandans can apply and pay for driver's licenses over their phones. Singaporeans don't just have easy access to one service from one agency– their "SingPass" program gives access to hundreds of e-services offered by more than 60 government agencies.
Making government services a simple and intuitive system isn't just a convenience. It can have huge implications for individual citizens. In Trinidad & Tobago, a mobile government portal allows fishermen to swap real-time advice, access wholesale market prices and sea safety information, and send out emergency alerts. New Zealand has revolutionised the idea of intuitive government systems by gamifying energy reports, allowing neighbours to see how they compare, and notify users if they are close to any new efficiency milestones.
Sweden has even taken the one step further, rolling out a program called SMSLifesaver that allows medically trained citizen volunteers to be instantly alerted if there is a heart attack victim within 500 meters of their location. It's not an exaggeration, then, to say that an intuitive public sector can save lives.
So how are Sweden, New Zealand and Estonia (among others) doing this? Surprisingly, it's by using the same formula that makes Google, Apple and Facebook three of the most successful companies in the world.
This secret formula is subscriber IDs. These give businesses clear insights into individual users, allowing them to provide services optimised specifically for you. Using them in the public sector can transform a government from a basic services provider to a platform that gives you access to a range of new opportunities to contribute and engage.
There's nothing wrong with a "vending machine" model, if it works. Clearly it doesn't here in the UK, or our tax system would be as simple as pressing a few buttons. This is why transforming to a "platform" system is so important – and it doesn't just fix current inefficiencies, it offers better services with less, exactly what the government is aiming for.
It's time for a change, and subscriber IDs offer the UK's public sector an easy way to meet their goal of providing better, more modern public services. The effects of subscriber model relationships can transform how citizens interact with, and even feel towards their public organisations, changing public bodies from services providers to engaging platforms.

What is Red Nose Day all about?
The world feels a bit gloomy out there, but Red Nose Day is all about the power to make the world a better place and this year we feel that we need each other more than ever. We're optimists and that's why we're asking the nation to join us and come together and make a difference to people's lives both here in the UK and worldwide.
Since its launch, Comic Relief has been an organisation that brings people together. Millions of people, young and old to fundraise, to buy t-shirts, red noses and merchandise, and enjoy a big night of TV–while donating hundreds of millions of pounds and showing solidarity with people they're unlikely to ever meet. But we're not delusional. We know that Comic Relief can't cure the world of all its ills. However,it can create a sense of hope, unity and kindness.
So this year, we have just one request – come together. We need each other right now more than ever. It's easy to get involved and have a great time. From workplace bake sales and fancy-dress fundraising in schools, to danceathons, quizzes and sponsored challenges, we're asking people to put on a Red Nose and do whatever they can to raise life-changing cash. It all culminates in a massive night of comedy and entertainment on Friday 15th March, live on the BBC, and all the money raised is then used to change countless lives, both here in the UK and worldwide.
How can I change my JustGiving email preferences?
To help you keep on top of your fundraising, JustGiving will send you donation alerts whenever someone donates to your page. JustGiving will also send you updates on how much you've raised as well as fundraising tips to help you reach your target.

Zipcar Expands "Zipvan" Cargo Van Service to Boston and Washington, D.C.
Successful pilot in San Francisco shows demand for utility vans among membership
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Zipcar, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZIP), the world's leading car sharing network, today announced the expansion of its "Zipvan" pilot cargo van service, with additional vans in San Francisco as well as new service beginning in Boston and Washington, D.C. The Ford E-150 full size cargo vans offered through the service give consumers and small businesses a new and more affordable option for transporting items too bulky for cars and pickup trucks. The expansion of the pilot program comes as a result of the successful launch in San Francisco last November.
Starting this week, both Boston and Washington, D.C. will begin offering the Zipvan service, and both cities will soon be home to 15 Zipvans each. The program in San Francisco will now offer 20 vans. The vans are available for hourly or daily use with rates starting at $15.75 per hour and $109 per day. As with all vehicles in the Zipcar fleet, Zipvan pricing includes gas, insurance, parking, roadside assistance and up to 180 miles of driving per day.
"The strong demand of the Zipvan service in San Francisco has shown us that whether it's a MINI Cooper for a night out on the town or a cargo van to move apartments, members appreciate the ease and convenience of membership in the Zipcar network," said Scott Griffith, chairman and CEO of Zipcar. "We'll continue to evaluate the popularity, economics and network benefits stemming from this offering to determine whether to incorporate it into the Zipcar service across North America."
The Boston Zipvans will be added to 10 Zipcar locations throughout the city, including pods at the Belvedere Street Prudential Center Garage, Gainsborough Street in Fenway and at the intersection of Washington Street and Corey Road in Allston.
Zipvans in the Washington, D.C. area will be added to nine existing Zipcar pods, two of which are located in Virginia and Maryland. The pods of Zipcars located on Rhode Island Ave and 4th Avenue NE, at the Columbia Heights Metro and at Courthouse Metro in Virginia will each have two Zipvans available, along with their existing fleet of vehicles.
The Ford E-150 cargo vans include two up-front seats and over 230 cubic feet of cargo space – enough for a queen-sized mattress – enabling members to pick up furniture purchased from Craigslist or IKEA, transport musical equipment or move apartments. The all-inclusive low hourly rates on Zipvan vehicles can also help small businesses and community non-profits reduce their costs for transporting goods or supplies.

During my engineering career, I've encountered quite a few business owners and inventors who are completely in the dark when it comes to intellectual property rights. In particular, there are plenty of misconceptions floating around about utility patents.
*This article is for non-practitioners seeking to familiarize themselves with the basics of patent types and patentability requirements. This article is Part II of a four part series. Parts III and IV will follow in biweekly installments, and will address Design Patents and Plant Patents, respectively.

The seeds I used for the crust are the pumpkin mix made by Good4U as part of their smart seeds range. Thanks to them also for the samples they provided.
The following recipe will coat two large pork chops.
In a small bowl, mix the egg and milk and beat with a fork to combine.
Blitz the bread, pine nuts and pumpkin seeds together with a hand blender or food processor. Add the Italian seasoning, garlic granules and stock cube and transfer to a medium sized plastic food bag.
Next, heat a large pan over a high heat and add the spray oil.
Dip the chop into the egg/milk mix, then place in the bag of breadcrumbs and lightly shake until it's well coated. Shake off the excess and place the chop into the pan.
Repeat the process with the second chop and place it into the pan also.
Allow the chops to brown for 5 minutes, the carefully turn them and brown the other side for a further five minutes.
Reduce the heat to low/medium and allow the chops to cook for a further 10 to 15 minutes until fully cooked.
Transfer to warmed plates and serve.
