EDF Human Rights (Prisons) Programme
In 2004-06, the Uganda Prison Service (UPS) obtained funding from the European Development Fund (EDF) of the European Union (EU) to undertake various activities. The EU supports Government of Uganda programmes under funding cycles and this funding was under the 8th funding cycle - the 8th EDF support.
Under the 8th EDF, Uganda Prisons undertook a baseline survey (study) to assess the human rights situation in prisons and possible causes .
1. The survey identified the following issues as major causes of human rights violation for persons under detention.
There was low human rights awareness (national, regional, & international legislations on treatment of offenders),
There was non-provision of basic necessities of life such as accommodation (e.g. prisons designed for 23 prisoners housing 265 inmates),
There was no supply of safe water and sanitation (50% of inmates use Night Soil Bucket system, have no access to safe water supply),
health facilities and health supplies were in short supply (68% of clinical investigations differ from actual),
food supply to prisoners was inadequate (50% of prisons serve one (1) combined meal due to limited kitchen facilities),
there was long stay of prisoners on remand (over 3 years),
2. Further, under the 8th EDF, human rights training manual for prisons officials was developed, and integrated into prisons training curriculum. The Department was also enabled to set up human rights desks in all prisons under central government. Three (3) human rights regional workshops were conducted each with 150 participants.
After this funding, it was found necessary that Uganda Prisons moves to address the issues identified. Subsequently the EU granted support to the UPS under the 9th funding cycle - 9th EDF for a period of 2 years, running from October 2007 to December 2009 to continue with the programme to address specific incidents of human rights violation in the prison units.
The UPS is currently implementing a two year EDF funded programme under the 9th EDF support, aimed at building the capacity of UPS in observing and protecting the rights of inmates. Under this programme, prisons staff will be empowered with knowledge to help them understand human rights issues and principles of humane correctional work. It is hoped that this will enable them to respect rights and freedoms of the people under their charge as well as the general public.
Since January 2008 to date, the UPS has so far trained 1,018 prisons staff in human rights and plans to train an additional 100 staff by end of May 2009. The trained staffs are expected to be ambassadors to champion the observance of HRs in your respective prisons. Each of these trained staff will under go a two weeks training in human rights.
Still under this programme, 20 prisons (10 women and 10 men prisons) will benefit from a modern water harvesting scheme, to address the severe water crisis in some of the prisons, something that forces them to walk long distances in search for water.
Two prisons clinics will be upgraded with modern laboratories, one in Gulu and the other in Mbale prisons to enhance clinical diagnosis in the management of disease among inmates as good clinical management is a precursor in treatment and in preventing deaths. This is of urgent need as the following excerpt reveals.
In a study conducted by Mulago Medical School on the natural causes of death among the inmates of Luzira Prisons in Uganda as seen at Autopsy in Mulago Hospital Complex (Onzivua ,2003), revealed:
That a high degree of disagreement was found to exist between the clinical diagnosis and the final diagnosis established at autopsy. Out of the 35 cases of TB confirmed at autopsy, clinical diagnosis was missed in sixteen (45.7%) of the cases.
Out of the thirty-four inmates who were found to be HIV negative by serology at autopsy, seven (20.1%) had been clinically diagnosed as AIDS cases. In eighty-four cases where diagnosis was made at autopsy, only twenty-five (24.5%) had the same diagnosis clinically.
The study therefore noted the need to improve on the clinical diagnosis in the management of the inmates of Luzira as good clinical management could have prevented many of these deaths.
Three Resource Centers will be established at selected units to give prisoners an opportunity to access information. Books will be availed and could be borrowed by the inmates and returned later. This will enhance the inmates' right to information.

Q: Cypress : choose username and environment from a list I have the following code and idea and I want to make it functional so that I can log in to the test with the function as cy.login (live, username):
Cypress.Commands.add("login", (env,username) => {
        env  = Cypress.env('staging')
        env = Cypress.env('live')
        username = Cypress.username('username1')
        username = Cypress.username('username2')
    cy.get('input[name="Parameter.UserName"]').type('username')
    cy.get('input[name="Parameter.Password"]').type('password1')
    cy.contains('Login').click()
})

Certainly my code is not a functional one, but I want to understand the idea and how to write it in order to be able to use a variable several times.
And in cypress.json
    {"env": {
        "staging": "https://staginglink",
        "live": "https://livelink"
      }}

  {"username": {
        "username1": "username": "username1", "password" : "password1" ,
        "username2": "username": "username2", "password" : "password2" ,
      }}

A: Start with a fix to cypress.json
{
  "env": {
    "links": {
      "staging": "https://staginglink",
      "live": "https://livelink"
    }
    "users": {
      "user1": {"username": "username1", "password" : "password1"},
      "user2": {"username": "username2", "password" : "password2"},
    }
}

Calling with string parameters:
cy.login('live', 'user2')

Command:
Cypress.Commands.add("login", (requiredEnv, requiredUser) => {

  const links = Cypress.env('links');  // links section above
  const link = links[requiredEnv];     // if passed "live" or "staging", gives the
                                       // correct property of links section
  cy.visit(link)

  const users = Cypress.env('users');    // users section above
  const user = users[requiredUser];

  const username = user.username;  // "user1" -> gives "username1"
                                   // "user2" -> gives "username2"

  const password = user.password;  // "user1" -> gives "password1"
                                   // "user2" -> gives "password2"

  cy.get('input[name="Parameter.UserName"]').type(username)  // don't put quotes around variable
  cy.get('input[name="Parameter.Password"]').type(password)  // don't put quotes around variable
  cy.contains('Login').click()
})

A: In your Cypress.json you can arrange your data like this:
{
   "env":{
      "staging":"https://staginglink",
      "live":"https://livelink"
   },
   "users":{
      "user1":{
         "username":"username1",
         "password":"password1"
      },
      "user2":{
         "username":"username2",
         "password":"password2"
      }
   }
}

Then in your test you can access the data like:
Cypress.config('users').user1.username. //gets username1
Cypress.env('staging'). //gets staging link

Your custom command will look like:
Cypress.Commands.add('login', (user, env) => {
  cy.visit(env)
  cy.get('input[name="Parameter.UserName"]').type(user.username)
  cy.get('input[name="Parameter.Password"]').type(user.password)
  cy.contains('Login').click()
})

From your test you can write:
cy.login(Cypress.config('users').user1, Cypress.env('staging'))
cy.login(Cypress.config('users').user2, Cypress.env('live'))

Versatile mosaic CCD controller design
Wonyong Han, Martin Clayton, David D. Walker
Current astronomical CCDs (Charge-coupled devices) are limited in size. However, there are increasing demands for larger devices for spectroscopic and direct imaging use. A comparison of the areas of a direct Schmidt-survey plate, and the largest CCD likely to be available in the foreseeable future, serves to illustrate limitations of current electronic technology. Similarly, modern spectrographs can serve either high spectral resolution or multi-object capability, but not both. One could conceive of an updated analogue of a classical coudé spectrograph, which would provide both simultaneously, were the enormous detector areas required available. It is with these two long-term applications in view that we consider the prospects for large-scale CCD mosaics. Spectroscopy in particular would benefit from mixed devices in the same mosaic e.g. blue and red-optimised, IR devices etc. We address how optimally to provide the drive waveforms with i) minimum interconnections and complexity, ii) the ability to mix CCDs, iii) the ability to tune the individual CCD waveforms for optimum low-light level performance, and iv) to conceive an architecture which is indefinitely expansible. Our solution is to multiplex the drive waveforms to the CCDs as well as the signals from them. Minimum chip-count in the sequencing electronics is ensured by using high-density PLD technology (Programmable Logic Device), which enables a module of sixteen or more CCDs to be sequenced from one PLD plus memory. We describe a laboratory prototype, and describe how this could be developed into a system with all the drive electronics for large numbers of CCDs immediately behind the focal plane array. We also summarise our software system for efficiently generating and editing the bitmaps which define the CCD waveforms.

Q: Parsing text / Arrange text in log file I am trying to read a log file written in this form using java :
2 05.08.2011 13:07:54.136 .r5 objects - ODBC [128] - C:\Windows\example.r5 [30] - 0x081BF015 - TLineThread.ModuleODBC the ODBC driver reports an error - parameter strSQLError contains the error information
1 09.08.2011 19:01:28.473 .r5 objects - ODBC [27] - C:\Windows\ExampleWithALongName.r5 [18] - 0x081BF015 - ODBC driver reports an error - parameter strSQLError contains the error information

And what the wirte it in an output like this:
2 05.08.2011 13:07:54.136 .r5 objects - ODBC [128] - C:\Windows\example.r5 [30]              - 0x081BF015 - TLineThread.ModuleODBC the ODBC driver reports an error - parameter strSQLError contains the error information
1 09.08.2011 19:01:28.473 .r5 objects - ODBC [27]  - C:\Windows\ExampleWithALongName.r5 [18] - 0x081BF015 - ODBC driver reports an error                            - parameter strSQLError contains the error information

So that in every line, the delimiter "-" is exactly under the delimter "-" of the line before. (No mather if names of the path ar longer or different)
How should I do this?

A: there are 6 parts and you should find the longest of each of them in lines.
    File file = new File(inputFilePath);
    try {
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
        String line;
        int[] partCharCount = new int[6];
        for(int c : partsCount)
            c=0;

        while((line=br.readLine())!=null)
        {
            String[] parts = line.split("\\s*-\\s*");
            for(int i=0;i<parts.length; i++)
                if(parts[i].length() > partCharCount[i])
                    partCharCount[i] = parts.length;
        }

after this you should read that file again, split each line to parts like in this code and then append to each part spaces to reach partsCount[i]+1


Hi, I got fitted for titleist woods and irons at Roger Dunn golf shops in Santa Ana and I've been super happy with my irons and my woods but I had a question on my shafts in my 3 wood and driver. I can shape shots pretty well with all my clubs except my 3 wood and driver, I'm trying to work the ball from right to left and it just won't let me do it it either goes dead straight or a slight fade I can't draw it all when I can draw all my irons when I want so I'm pretty sure it's the shafts not allowing me to I have the titleist 910 driver and 3 wood with the Diamana ahina 72 low-mid X. I'm not sure my swing speed but it's fast I hit a PW 150 yards. It just feels to me as it's a board feeling and I can't turn it over if you could please send me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it! I like the head I just think I need different shafts in both woods? Thanks for your time.
Feel is as important as the technical details of launch and spin. The question with your 910's is how to improve on the shafts you have. By the time you pay someone with a Trackman for the fitting with the current arsenal of shafts and then buy one, you could be 1/2 to 2/3 of the way to a new driver. Assuming a fitting for $75 since you won't be buying an entire club and $150-200 for a new shaft. The 3W is virtually a dead end - only 910 FW shafts fit a 910. The driver shafts are interchangeable at least through the 917s. You can get a good price on a 917 into September or rock a TS after that. If you can find a Titleist Thursday, then the fitting is guaranteed to be free.
Not to knock Roger Dunn's but the fact that you have an older model driver and fairway woods (910), you might consider doing a Titleist Thursday fitting in an outdoor environment with their TrackMan technology. You will get a better fit and being outdoors, will really get better feedback on working the ball right to left. Option 2 is to buy a few used shafts on line that are a bit softer flex and lower kick point than what you have and just to trial and error.

LOVE, LOVE, AND LOVE
Even preceding landfall, things loved freely once, ignoring gender
by Maggie Bloodstone - SGN A&E Writer
The Mirror Of Love
By Alan Moore and Jose Villarrubia
Published By Top Shelf Productions
Love, love, lovely love, the rarest and most vital commodity in the universe. The more love you have at your disposal, to give or withhold, the more desirable, respected, and ultimately, powerful you are. Who can blame certain folks for wanting an exclusive franchise on the stuff? In Western culture, the most vehement advocates of Love, besides Hippies, are Christians. The same group flexible enough to include both Martin Luther King and Fred Phelps, it has also produced the largest percentage of Gay marriage detractors. This sub-group of a perfectly workable, positive belief system clings so tenaciously to the notion that Heterosexuals, and Heterosexuals only, have the corner on Love that they would actively discourage more public professions of devotion, thus spewing more Love into the universe. (As if a surplus might lower its value-?)
Allowing Gays and Lesbians the same public acknowledgment of affection Heteros have had (and too often abused) for centuries would mean having to accept them as human-bad enough having to share the sidewalk, the workplace, the military, and the miracle of procreation with them. But Love-that would mean that straight Christians might not be as virtuous, or special, as they thought, and they might even have to share Jesus, too!
Novelist (Fag Hag, Closet Case) and comics geek Robert Rodi, in his foreword to The Mirror Of Love, states that the work "&is in fact an attempt to dwarf politics with the imposing edifice of history, culture, and art." And that much is certainly true-there's no dogma or didacticism in Alan Moore's prose or Jose Villarrubia's photographs, but given the current political/social climate, Rodi's statement is a tad disingenuous. Life is, indeed, a drag when one analyzes every move we humans make as a political statement, but fact is, The Mirror Of Love was originally published in a benefit comics anthology, AARGH! (Artists Against Rampant Government Homophobia), designed to help combat England's loathsome Clause 28, a Thatcher-era reaction to the AIDS crisis which would have prohibited local authorities from "promoting" homosexuality by striking all references from library and school materials, and essentially denying the existence of the word and concept of "Homosexuality", at least, 'officially'. The clause, with the help of thousands of fab-gear Britons, was thoroughly stomped into the soil of Old Blighty and swept under the rug of history. No submission in AARGH! could be considered apolitical with such a dragon to slay.
Never heavy-handed, or 'precious', Moore's sumptuous prose, partnered with Villarrubia's resonant images, traces Queer history from the cradle of life itself, as illustrated by a foreboding blue-black ocean, to an uncertain but promising future, depicted by a limitless golden sky and the words:
While life endures we'll love,
And afterwards,
If what they say is true,
I'll be refused a Heaven
Crammed with popes, policemen, fundamentalists,
And burn instead, quite happily,
With Sappho, Michelangelo,
And you, my love.
I'd burn throughout eternity
Get the picture, Bush? Cheney? Phelps?
As is too often the case with many a talented artist unlucky enough to be 'discovered' by the star-making machinery, Alan Moore's most widely known works are the graphic novels the films From Hell and The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen are tenuously based on. Moore's staunchest fans physically cringe when a film adaptation of his comic book work is announced, because we know that only the meanest scraps of his literary feasts will survive the abattoir that is Hollywood. (The only director who could have done his genre-shattering Watchmen justice was Terry Gilliam, and even the genius behind Brazil had to admit defeat.) Since the early '80's, Moore has produced a body of work that would make the most gushed-over 'real' novelist nauseous with envy for their sheer impact on the comics (or Graphic Novel, if you must) genre. The fact that Moore is not lauded in the same breath as Vonnegut, Tolkien, or even Anne Rice, is due solely to the fact his words are accompanied by lots and lots of 'cartoons'. A self-professed Magus, Moore employs a sort of 'chaos theory' to writing, throwing political, spiritual, sexual, historical, and pop-cultural elements into a potent cauldron that, mixed with simpatico artists, manifest into fully realized universes. His stories, which have covered superheroes (Watchmen, Promethea), totalitarianism (V For Vendetta, his next sacrifice to the box office gods), ritual murder and power (From Hell), sex with fictional characters (The Lost Girls), and the nature of language (The Birth Caul) , seem to have sprung fully formed from his brow, the products of pure artistic alchemy. The Rasputin-locked Scorpion has professed that Magick and Art are comparable in that "Both are the creation of something out of nothing". It's not for nothing discerning comics fans (and they do exist) consider Moore to be God, or, at the very least, bigger than Jesus.
Titled from Aubrey Beardsley, The Mirror Of Love has no 'cartoons'-while the original, drawn by masterful comic vets Steve Bissette and Rick Veitch, was powerful in its own right, this compact little hardcover boils that work down to its essence: pure words & pictures. In the introduction, playwright David Drake relates how the AARGH! version moved his friend, aspiring photographer Jose Villarrubia to adapt and perform it on stage for the Baltimore Theatre Project in the dark, AIDS-haunted year of 1988. Drake: "What Jose had found&was a meditation as profound as the birth of 'first love'- a meditation in its wily, undying survival: Eternal Love. And it goes without saying that the history of Gayness is a story of survival. T.M.O.L wends its way from 'Three million years of motherhood' to the grim dawn of patriarchy, the optimism of Greece, the setbacks of Christianity, the Burning Times, the ages of reason and science, pink triangles and ovens, realization and liberation, to the plague years and beyond. Moore achieves all this with such historical savvy, compassion, and empathy, you'd never notice he was straight. (But then, like I tell anyone who expresses surprise that I'm not a Lesbian, you don't have to be a chicken to know eggs.) Villarrubia's photos evoke images Gay folks through the ages have looked upon and alternately trembled and thrilled at: rose-bedecked Lesbian lovers in repose, a crumbling statue of a young boy's torso (with the penis broken off), the lipstick-speckled tombstone of Oscar Wilde, a public men's room at night, one of many disapproving popes, two joyous partners of uncertain gender, and the Stonewall Inn, shot through an iron fence (to emphasize the prison it undeniably was-?). All richly, thoughtfully presented by an artist who got to realize a 15-year-old dream of collaborating with another artist who inspired him to make Magick.
Paradoxically, the image that is guaranteed to invoke the most wrenching reaction is also the simplest: in a passage suggesting the cold heartache of the play Bent, Moore writes:
The showers, they say,
held bodies piled as if the strong and desperate
had climbed on lovers' backs to flee the gas
betraying at the last our love,
the thing we thought they couldn't take.
Can you imagine?
And the visual that accompanies this nightmare is- a page of solid black.
With this segment, Moore make it clear that Gay history, as with any other, is not full of saintly, incorruptible heroes, but fallible, fragile humans whose victimization is no more tragic or unjust as any other group, but who have the distinction of being persecuted for the most patently absurd of reasons: Love. Hell, even we clueless straight people can dig that.
While it may seem simplistic at least, pretentious at most, to try and distill the history of any people down to 80 pages, however eloquent or visually prescient, Moore and Villarrubia manage to pack the book with enough defining moments- and dropped names- to pique the curiosity of readers who don't happen to hold MBA's on Queer History to seek out more information on the artists and lovers Moore references. For example, I was unfamiliar with "The Ladies Of Llangollen". Not as famous a pair as Alice and Gertrude, these Irish gentlewomen lived in a "romantic friendship" spanning the 18th and 19th centuries, and opened their home to scholars and poets, including such pre-Wilde icons as Shelley, Byron, and Wordsworth. Moore has a burning need to inform, give credit where credit is due, a fetish for accurate research, and an absolute hard-on for footnotes. He also weaves passages from Dickinson, Sappho, and others into his own prose, which shifts from the loftily poetic to the comfortably conversational without missing a symbiotic beat.
Moore and Villarrubia have created a sweet and succinct chronicle of the 'City Of Friends' Walt Whitman wrote of, free of maudlin sentiment and manipulation, just cold hard facts artfully presented and heartfully conceived. Just the thing for you and your sweetie, life partner, pooky-bear, babe, or beloved to read to each other in bed this Valentine's Day.
And I marched
As I loved, my dear, with thee,
Always with thee

p>This issue introduces the subject of benchmarking for the legal department. How can a manager of a legal function measure the performance of his or her team against comparable teams and comparable companies? Is it possible for what is essentially a service function to be measured on objective, universally applicable criteria? How useful are those measures when applied to what will be, in many respects, a unique service which is customised to the particular requirements of the company it serves and the industry it is in?

Q: How can I get my rails search bar in Production to search without case sensitivity I have built a search bar into the Index page of my rails app without using the model. The search facility works terrific locally and returns all queries using the sqlite3' development database irrespective of whether I use upper or lower case text.
However after pushing the code into production on Heroku via (PG database), The search bar will ONLY bear results if the first letter in the search bar is UPPERCASE.
ie. Ford will generate search results of all of the Ford's.
BUT.. ford will do nothing.
What code can I add or modify in my controller to enable the search to proceed and bear results irrespective of case.
class PinsController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_pin, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
before_action :correct_user, only: [:edit, :update, :destroy]
before_action :authenticate_user!, except: [:index, :show]

def index
if params[:search].present? && !params[:search].nil?
  @pins = Pin.where("description LIKE ?", "%#{params[:search]}%").paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 15)
else
  @pins = Pin.all.order("created_at DESC").paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 15)
end
end

A: PostgreSQL (used on Heroku) is case sensitive by default. If you want to search with case insensitivity, use the ILIKE operator (instead of LIKE) - http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/functions-matching.html

The key word ILIKE can be used instead of LIKE to make the match case-insensitive according to the active locale. This is not in the SQL standard but is a PostgreSQL extension.

But as Max said in the comments, the best thing to do is use the same database in development as production - this way, bugs like this are caught before they make it into production.

Novak Djokovic and Fellow Star Vaccine Skeptics Are Increasingly Scorned
In a less dangerous time, a more forgiving public viewed Novak Djokovic's nontraditional views of science and health as the quirky characteristics of a hyperactive seeker with strongly held beliefs about everything from sports to spirituality.
He has sat inside a pressurized, egg-shaped pod during major tournaments, believing it would improve circulation, boost his red-blood cell production and rid his muscles of lactic acid. He said that prayer and faith could purify toxic water. Djokovic and other high-profile athletes with unorthodox approaches to health were a source of bemusement for a public that, for better or for worse, has long treated them as role models. These quirks as seemingly harmless as a bowl of quarterback Tom Brady's avocado ice cream.
Djokovic, an outspoken skeptic of vaccines, will spend the weekend detained in a hotel room in Melbourne, Australia, waiting out a legal appeal and expected hearing on Monday in hopes of gaining entry to the country following a public and political outcry over the medical exemption he received to play in the Australian Open without being vaccinated. The Australian Border Force rejected his paperwork supporting that exemption on Wednesday.
The pitched battle over what was supposed to be his quest for a record 10th Australian Open men's singles championship has highlighted a new dynamic for stars like Djokovic. The latest surge of coronavirus cases and the ongoing struggle to exit the pandemic have shifted public perceptions: athletes once viewed favorably as iconoclasts are now encountering pushback when they want to play by different rules than everyone else.
"The general public continues to respond positively if an athlete is speaking out on topics that make a difference in society and make peoples lives better," said Michael Lynch, the former director of sports marketing for Visa and a longtime consultant to the sports industry. "But if someone takes a position that put peoples' lives at risk, then they are going to have very negative reaction."
The fame that comes with athletic success has provided Djokovic and other top athletes who oppose the coronavirus vaccines, like the N.F.L. quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the star basketball player Kyrie Irving, with platforms to promote causes they believed in and to collect millions of dollars to promote products. But in recent months, their high profiles have become a liability as their behavior and their views supported misinformation and put public safety at risk.
For sports organizations and leagues, the stakes are high. For more than a decade, access to social media has given sports stars the ability to become more outspoken and impactful than ever. As long as what they say has not been offensive or polarizing, they provided free, mostly positive publicity for their sports, their causes and their own brands.
The vaccination issue has changed the equation for sports, whose return in 2020 was viewed positively when they modeled safe behavior, such as mask wearing, playing before sparse crowds or no one at all, and participating in regular testing. The behavior and outspokenness of Djokovic, Rodgers, Irving and others against vaccines has jeopardized that good will, and organizations are now tightening their rules to play defense.
The N.C.A.A. said on Thursday that, in many instances, it would not consider players or coaches "fully vaccinated" unless they had also received a booster shot.
Although the guidance is not binding on schools and conferences, it is influential, especially with the N.C.A.A.-run Division I basketball tournaments scheduled to begin in March.
"You're allowed to have your own beliefs but once those beliefs start to impact other people, that is where things begin to get a little dodgy," said Patrick McEnroe, the former professional tennis player who is now a commentator for ESPN.
That dynamic came to a head in Australia on Wednesday when federal border police detained Djokovic at a Melbourne airport.
Djokovic, a Serb who has won 20 Grand Slam tournament singles championships, had flown to Australia to defend his title in the Australian Open following the announcement that he had received a medical exemption from receiving a vaccine for an undisclosed reason from two panels of medical experts working on behalf of the organization that stages the tournament and the government of Victoria, the state that includes the tournament site, Melbourne. But while Djokovic was en route to Australia from Dubai, the public and some politicians began to voice their anger that Djokovic, No. 1-ranked men's tennis player, had received unjustified special treatment.
Roughly 80 percent of Australians have received at least one dose of a vaccination. Australians have endured some of the most stringent prohibitions to prevent the spread of the virus, including lockdowns that lasted hundreds of days and strict limits on travel. With the country averaging roughly 30,000 new cases a day, Australians were no longer willing to tolerate an outspoken critic of vaccines getting a questionable special pass.
Border officials, with the support of Prime Minister Scott Morrison and other top federal officials, subsequently rejected his efforts to enter Australia on the grounds that his medical exemption was not valid.
Michael Payne, the former chief marketing officer for the International Olympic Committee, said Djokovic had gotten "caught in political power play between different government departments who should have told him upfront, 'no vaccine, no play.'"
Perhaps, but Djokovic also could have avoided his troubles by simply getting vaccinated, as hundreds of millions of people have done during the past 12 months, either because they wanted to follow public health guidance or because employers or governments required it.
Same for Irving, the Nets guard who has steadfastly refused to get vaccinated. Irving's refusal has made him ineligible to play in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, because New York City requires people working indoors to be vaccinated.
The Nets had kept him off their roster for the first two months of the season. Then, as their losses mounted, the team opted to essentially make him a part-time employee who will play only in arenas in cities that don't prohibit unvaccinated people from working indoors.
He scored 22 points Wednesday night in his first game of the season against the Indiana Pacers, but he will continue to be a symbol of everything the N.B.A. has tried to avoid during the pandemic, which is being seen as a potential danger to the public, which has dwindling patience for anyone who may be hindering efforts to end the pandemic.
Meanwhile, Rodgers, who is a folk hero in the Midwest, has the Green Bay Packers one win away from securing the top seed in the N.F.C. for the playoffs, which begin next week. Rodgers was criticized and ridiculed in November, when he tested positive for Covid-19 after months of making misleading statements about whether he was vaccinated. He also violated N.F.L. rules for unvaccinated players, including not wearing a mask while he was speaking with journalists. He missed a game while isolating and recovering from his illness. The N.F.L. fined the Packers $300,000 for enabling his behavior.
Rodgers explained his decision to not get vaccinated by saying he had read hundreds of pages of studies and received treatments to prevent infection, treatments that scientists have either debunked or have not been proven effective, including a veterinary drug. He quickly became an object of widespread scorn then blamed cancel culture for his treatment.
The star vaccine resistors do have their supporters. Djokovic's family on Thursday held rallies in Belgrade, where his father, Srdjan, accused Morrison, the Australian prime minister, of holding his son "captive" for his beliefs and trampling on all of Serbia, where Djokovic is a hallowed treasure.
He also read a message that he said was from Djokovic: "God sees everything. Moral and ethics as the greatest ideals are the shining stars towards spiritual ascension. My grace is spiritual and theirs is material wealth."
Djokovic's chief rival, Rafael Nadal, who is in Australia ahead of playing in the Open, offered a less-than-sympathetic take on the dispute Thursday.
"In some way I feel sorry for him," said Nadal, who has long supported vaccine efforts. "But at the same time, he knew the conditions since a lot of months ago, so he makes his own decision."

Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch: Meet Utah's Most Famous Outlaws
Brian Higgins
There were plenty of famous outlaws of the Old West, but here in Utah, one name reigns supreme — Butch Cassidy. After all, it's not often that a Latter-day Saint pioneer decides to become one of the world's most famous train robbers. Not every outlaw stays true to his moral compass during his robberies either. Cassidy left his mark on the land, and all across the state there are landmarks — official, unofficial and legendary — of his adventures across Utah.
But Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch gang was more than just its leader. You probably know about the Sundance Kid, whether from seeing him on the silver screen, seeing lots of silver screens at the Sundance Film Festival or skiing the slopes that bear his name. And although the other members of the Wild Bunch don't have marketing like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, their lives were no less incredible. Here are the stories of the Wild Bunch, some of the most famous outlaws in Utah and the Old West.
The Wild Bunch's Robberies
When the Wild Bunch were planning a robbery, they typically went after trains and banks. Although their guns were famously quiet and they shied away from killing, their robberies did not go off without a bang; they often used TNT to blow the door off of the safes they needed to access.
Along with a lack of killing, the defining aspect of a Wild Bunch robbery was their escape. The gang would typically split up and then spend weeks or months apart, making it harder for the law to track them down. They also had friends all across the West, from fellow outlaws to sympathetic ranchers who didn't mind seeing the big banks take a hit or two. Because of this, they were afforded lots of hideouts, and would also switch out for fresh horses after a day of hard riding. This helped them cover more ground than lawmen possibly could. It was like they disappeared into thin air.
Another hallmark of a Wild Bunch robbery? The afterparty. In fact, the "Wild" in Wild Bunch didn't refer to their daring robberies, but rather the epic celebrations that would follow. Here are the Wild Bunch's most famous robberies, and we'll just let you imagine the parties that followed.
1889: San Miguel Valley Bank | Telluride, CO | $20,000 ($640,000 as of 2022)
1896: The Bank of Montpelier | Montpelier, ID | $16,500 ($530,000 as of 2022)
1897: Pleasant Valley Coal Company | Castle Gate, UT | $8,000 ($285,000 as of 2022)
1899: Union Pacific Train | Wilcox, WY | $50,000 ($1.7 million as of 2022)
1900: Union Pacific Train | Tipton, WY | $55,000 ($1.9 million as of 2022)
1900: First National Bank | Winnemucca, NV | $32,640 ($1.1 million as of 2022)
1901: Great Northern Train | Wagner, MT | $60,000 ($2 million as of 2022)
Cribs: Wild Bunch Edition
Where did they disappear to? Well, when they weren't hiding out with ranchers like Ann and Josie Bassett, they chose their hideouts based on ruggedness and strategic advantage. The Wild Bunch — and many other bandits — mostly became acquainted with each other at Hole-in-the-Wall, a remote outlaw hideout in Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains. Thanks to its narrow passes and ample sight lines, the area was easily defended from lawmen,
(if any of them even bothered to make the trek).
Like any group of wealthy entrepreneurs, the Wild Bunch kept multiple homes. When the cold weather of the mountains got them down, they retreated to the warmer climate in eastern Utah. More specifically, Robber's Roost, their desert hideout just outside of what is now Canyonlands National Park.
Robber's Roost was just as rugged as Hole-in-the-Wall, but in a different way. Both made use of their landscape's natural advantages — Hole-in-the-Wall with its high passes and Robber's Roost with its uniquely frustrating combination of barren expanses and winding slot canyons. For the pursuing posses and Pinkerton agents, it was easier to simply wait until the Wild Bunch emerged again than to go tracking them down. As for the Wild Bunch? They didn't complain too much about the downtime.
Who Was in Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch?
Although all kinds of characters crossed paths with the Wild Bunch at one time or another, there were only a handful who entrenched themselves as permanent fixtures. There are a lot of members to keep track of, but like any good gang, they all had their own unique quirks. Picture them as the gang from Friends, but with fewer iconic haircuts.
The Leader: Butch Cassidy
You probably know all about Butch Cassidy, but if not, Utah.com has you covered with an in depth bio. Here's the short version:
Robert LeRoy Parker, AKA Butch Cassidy came afoul of the law at an early age, when he was nearly arrested for leaving an IOU at a shop for a pair of pants instead of buying them outright. In response, he did what any reasonable person would do — dedicated himself to a life of crime. He soon began the life of an outlaw and took the surname of his first mentor, cattle thief Mike Cassidy.
Butch embodied the idea of the Gentleman Bandit. He never took from those who couldn't afford it, never killed during his robberies and instructed his gang to do the same. He was beloved by the common folk of the Old West, which is why they often housed him after robberies. He even tried to leave the robbery game at one point, pleading for amnesty from the Utah governor and the Union Pacific Railroad. While the railroad thought it over, Cassidy opted for the bold strategy of "continuing to rob them." They weren't exactly thrilled.
The Best Friend: Elzy Lay
Contrary to popular belief, the Sundance Kid was not actually Butch Cassidy's best friend and right-hand man. That honor belonged to William "Elzy" Lay. The two met in Utah, became fast friends and did what any reasonable pair of best friends would do — dedicated themselves to a life of crime.
The first to scheme up robberies while lying low at Robber's Roost, Lay and Cassidy were the brains behind the Wild Bunch. Lay rode and robbed with Cassidy for years, even after his wife, Maude Davis, asked him to stop. Lay was eventually arrested in 1899 in Carlsbad, New Mexico, causing Maude to divorce him, and causing Lay to swap the ol' ball and chain for an actual ball and chain. In prison, Lay managed to free the warden's wife and daughter during a riot, and was pardoned for his heroics. Free to live his life again, he moved to Southern California, presumably to capture killer waves instead of trains.
The Jock: Harry "The Sundance Kid" Longabaugh
"Jock" might not be the right term, but the Sundance Kid was known as the fastest gun in the Wild Bunch, and gunfighting was the closest thing outlaws had to a sport. Plus, if he looked anything like Robert Redford, it's safe to say he had strong "starting quarterback" vibes.
Longabaugh's first run in with the law was in 1887, when he was arrested in Sundance, Wyoming. When it came time to be released, he knew just what to call himself. With his newfound freedom, the Sundance Kid decided to do what any reasonable ex-convict would do — rededicate himself to a life of crime.
The Sundance Kid and his girlfriend Etta Place eventually decided to flee to South America along with Butch Cassidy in 1901. Place eventually returned to America, but Butch Cassidy the Sundance Kid were not so lucky — they were both killed in a Bolivian shootout in 1908. To this day, however, rumors persist that they both escaped and lived out their lives in America. It wouldn't be too much of a surprise — after all, faking your own death to evade the law is like the outlaw's version of winning the state championship.
The Nerd: Will "News" Carver
No one in the Wild Bunch was really a nerd (robbing trains is pretty dang cool) but Will "News" Carver sure was reading the most. Specifically, he was always reading about his own crimes in the newspaper, earning him the nickname "News."
News Carver started his outlaw life with the "Black Jack" Ketchum gang. In those early years, he also met and married Viana Byler, who was an aunt to future Wild Bunch member Laura Bullion. When Byler died suddenly, Carver did what any reasonable grieving husband would do — began dating his dead wife's niece.
Carver met the Wild Bunch at Robber's Roost after a fateful failed robbery and soon began riding with them, bringing Laura Bullion into the fold as well. On April 2, 1901, Carver was shot and killed in Jack Owens' Bakery in Sonora, Texas. He was wanted for a murder he didn't commit, but that didn't stop the law from shooting first and asking questions later. Ever the storyteller, News Carver knew how to craft a good ending — his last words were "Die game, boys!"
Tall, Dark and Handsome: Ben "The Tall Texan" Kilpatrick
Ben Kilpatrick was nicknamed "The Tall Texan" because he was tall and from Texas (not every nickname has to have a cool story). He was only 6 foot, 2 inches, but at the time that was well above average. Like News Carver, Kilpatrick started his outlaw days with Black Jack Ketchum before doing what any reasonable … well, you get the point.
After many robberies with the Wild Bunch, Kilpatrick and Laura Bullion were arrested together in St. Louis in 1901. Kilpatrick was sentenced to 15 years in prison, of which he served ten. He turned back to his old ways as soon as he was released, but things didn't go so smoothly without the gang. During a train robbery in Sanderson, Texas in 1912, a Wells Fargo agent killed Kilpatrick with an ice mallet. That agent then presumably took up the nickname "Ice Mallet Killing Guy."
The Tomboy: Laura Bullion
The Wild Bunch's sole female member was anything but the token woman, and she sure wasn't arm candy neither. Laura Bullion was as bonafide as they come, with a few train robberies and a three-year prison stint to prove it. She was called "The Thorny Rose," "Desert Rose" and "Wild Bunch Rose," three nicknames that mean the same thing — pretty, but dangerous.
After her time in the Wild Bunch (and prison), Bullion lived out her life in Memphis, working as a seamstress and interior designer. Despite being yet another woman trapped in the classic "Outlaw to Interior Designer" career track, she lived a happy life until her death in 1961.
Although Bullion was the only woman to carry out actual robberies with the Wild Bunch, a pair of outlaw sisters and ranchers, Josie and Ann Bassett, were highly involved with the gang. And yes, they were "involved." At various times, Ann was involved with Butch Cassidy and The Tall Texan, while Josie paired off with Elzy Lay, News Carver and at one point, Butch Cassidy. Laura, meanwhile, started off with News Carver, before eventually settling down with the Tall Texan. Like sands through the hourglass, so were the days of their outlaw lives.
The Bad Boy: Harvey "Kid Curry" Logan
Although most of the Wild Bunch never killed, there was one man who would tarnish this reputation and then some. That man was Harvey "Kid Curry" Logan. The Sundance Kid may have had the fastest gun in the crew, but Kid Curry's was the busiest. He was one of the most feared outlaws of his time, and during his career Curry notched at least 11 known kills though none were during a Wild Bunch robbery.
The Ladies' Man: Harvey "Kid Curry" Logan
Ladies love a bad boy, right? Well if they don't nowadays, they certainly did back then. Kid Curry had a taste for women and liquor, and money from his robberies went quickly towards both vices. Curry became known for his partying, and as his renown grew around the West, prostitutes far and wide began to claim that he was the father of their babies. So many claimed Kid Curry as a father, in fact, that there was a name for the babies — "Curry Kids," and there were as many as 85 of them! It's probably not true, but if it's even a little bit believable that you had 85 kids, you probably did something to earn that reputation.
The Hot Head: Harvey "Kid Curry" Logan
Look who it is again! Being the Bad Boy and being the Hot Head may sound similar, but there's a difference between being a bit trigger happy during a shootout and having an entire Wikipedia section titled "Revenge Killings."
Among his other infamous accolades, Kid Curry was known as someone who couldn't let a wrong against him go unpunished. In May of 1900, Curry rode into Moab and killed both a Sheriff and a Deputy in broad daylight as revenge for killing his mentor George "Flat Nose" Curry and his brother Lonny. In 1901, with Pinkerton agents hot on his tail, Curry still found time to take a detour and kill a Montana rancher who had killed his brother Johnny years earlier.
Kid Curry was the kind of outlaw who seems to have stepped right off the silver screen, and he met a Hollywood ending to match. In 1904, in Parachute, Colorado, Curry was cornered by a posse. They wounded him, but Curry decided that no lawman would ever take him alive, and took his own life. Like Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, however, his demise is uncertain. Rumor says that he escaped to South America with his fellow outlaws. The Pinkerton agent who was on his case even resigned from duty, believing to the end that they had gotten the wrong man.
Which seems to be a theme for the Wild Bunch. Whether they're going down in a blaze of glory, inspiring rumors of their secret survival or fading into everyday society with a secret life behind them, they all seemed to end up with a larger-than-life ending to their outlaw careers. And for a place with canyons, mountains and deserts that feel so much larger than life, it's fitting that the Wild Bunch are some of Utah's most famous outlaws.

Creative prints became the voice of a group of artists who went under the name Pan and met for sake parties by the Sumida River (Sumida Gawa), the centre of the Floating World of old Edo and site of the classic Ukiyo-e print movement. James Michener described this new approach: …in contrast to the classical system in which the artist merely designed the print, leaving the carving of the blocks to one technician and the printing to another, the newer print artists preached that the artist himself must do the designing, carving and printing. A new term was devised to describe such a print-sosaku hanga, meaning "creative print." (Michener, 1968: The Modern Japanese Print p.11)

You Won't Believe What this Elementary Student Can Do
Holly Bissonnette| April 2, 2015
A cover version or what is more popularly known as a cover is simply described as a new performance or a new rendition of a previously recorded song by someone other than the song's original artist.
And, one of such covers is contained in a video and showcases an elementary student named Mia Negovetic. The video, which featured Mia belting out her own interpretation of Beyonce's "Listen", was posted in June 15, 2014 on YouTube has gone viral and have garnered 864,366 views so far.
The over three-minute video featured her flawless performance of the song that was featured in the 2006 film, Dreamgirls, starring Beyonce Knowles herself as well as Jennifer Hudson and Jamie Foxx.
Mia's performance was featured during a Christmas party held at Primorje – Gorski Kotar County Elementary School. The venue was held at the Croation Cultural Center.
This 11-year-old girl comes from a musical background, as both of her parents have had careers in the music industry. Her mother was a singer in a band, while her father worked as a instrumentalist, playing both the guitar and drums. They expressed their amazement over their daughter's talent, which they happily described as having surpassed their own.
When asked who her favorite singers are, Mia came up an amazing roster of artists. Aside from Beyonce, the young girl idolizes local artists like Natali and Ivana Kindl. She also named the late singer Whitney Houston as well Celine Dion, Bruno Mars and Megan Trainor as among her favorites.
Mia admitted that she has not received formal training in singing. Regardless, she is still an excellent singer who is also a straight A student. She is into gymnastics as well.
Although the elementary student has expressed her interest in singing, she said she has has never considered to become a professional singer, despite everybody's encouragement.
This was what she said (translated from Croatian):
"It comes from me, I sing from the heart. I would not have just done, without doing it wholeheartedly. Honestly, I would love to be a cook, not a singer. It seems to me that the singers spend too much time devoted to their career and do not have much free time. I would love to have a family someday. "

Movie Review - Every Day (2018) - DelmarvaLife
Movie Review – Every Day (2018)
Home DelmarvaLifeMovie Review – Every Day (2018)
Jun 19, 2018 | Posted by Marlon Wallace | DelmarvaLife, The M Report	|
Director Michael Sucsy gave us The Vow (2012), an adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks book, which was a gimmick book about a woman with amnesia who has to fall in love with her husband all over again. Writer Jesse Andrews gave us Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, an adaptation of his own book, which was a gimmick book about a teenage boy who falls in love with a terminal cancer patient. Together, Sucsy and Andrews give us this adaptation of David Levithan's book, which is another gimmick book about a high school girl who falls in love with a spirit that inhabits a different body every day. The gimmick in the previous films were based in some kind of reality, whereas here the gimmick is supernatural or magical.
The difference being is that the gimmicks in the previous movies were designed to reveal something about the specific characters. The gimmick here is meant to reveal something aspirational about humanity. Nothing is really revealed about the characters here at all. This movie is also an example of the film trope of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl or Manic Pixie Dream Boy. Here, it's actually a Manic Pixie Dream Spirit. The problem is that the film trope is supposed to teach or change the protagonist in some way, but here the protagonist simply goes from having a black boyfriend who's distant and isn't as intellectual to a white boyfriend who's more doting.
Angourie Rice (The Beguiled and The Nice Guys) stars as Rhiannon, a beautiful, teenage girl who lives in the suburbs of Baltimore. She has a boyfriend named Justin, played by Justice Smith (The Get Down and Paper Towns). At first, she's sending him a ton of text messages that he doesn't return. She wants to spend time with him and connect with him on deeper levels, but Justin isn't engaging her in that way. He just wants to hang out and hook up, and not put in too much effort. It's not clear how long the two have been together or what caused them to start dating in the first place, but she perhaps has a confidence or self-esteem issue because it's so obvious that their relationship isn't solid. Yet, she's so smart that it's weird why she would even spend one day as his girlfriend.
However, one day, Justin's body is taken over by a spirit that calls itself "A." Apparently, A is the same age as Rhiannon but every day, A wakes up in the body of a different person. The different person has to be the same age and in the same geographic area, probably within a 50 to 100-mile radius. A can only stay for a day and A can never be the same person twice. A thinks that A originated in Phoenix, Arizona, but A has no clue who A's original family was.
When it comes to those rules, one of those rules gets challenged, but it's a wonder why the other rules aren't challenged or questioned at all. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't spend too much time in A's point-of-view. The movie is mostly told through Rhiannon's perspective, so what A is truly experiencing is a bit lost, which is a failing in this film but endemic to the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope. For example, A has the ability to stay in one body for more than one day, but it seems as if A never thought to do that until Rhiannon suggests it, which doesn't seem believable at all.
While A is in Justin's body, A spends the day with Rhiannon being the best boyfriend ever. What the movie fails to point out is that unlike Justin, A can be the best boyfriend ever because A doesn't have any obligations. Justin has tests, sports to practice and his family obligations. A doesn't have that, so A can ditch or abandon things to focus all attention to Rhiannon. The movie does eventually shine a bit of light on that fact, but it's sad that Rhiannon doesn't realize that herself and A has to be the one to explain it to her.
All that undermines the foundation of their relationship is obvious from the start but the movie stretches the relationship longer than it should. The only purpose is to explore the idea that the physical body doesn't matter. People should fall in love with the spirit. The message seems to be that it's not what's on the outside that counts but it's what on the inside that counts. This is a message that we learned in Aladdin (1992), but this movie wants to reinforce that idea.
Yet, any idea that this film could be an allegory for transgender people might be over-selling it. I'm not sure transgender people would argue that what's on the outside doesn't count. Transgender people do believe what's on the outside does count and having what's on the outside match what's on the inside is in fact key. This film could appeal to people who are either binary, intersex, gender non-conforming, or non-gendered, as well as appealing to people who are either bisexual or sexually fluid. It could also be good for people who might be what was described as transracial in terms of Rachel Dolezal. "A" could be representational for all those people.
"A" could be representational for them, but, as was said, this film isn't told from A's point-of-view. This movie is told from Rhiannon's perspective. If this movie were simply going from body to body and being every gender and sexuality and race, watching A be both boyfriend and girlfriend to various people, then this movie would be a triumph of true fluidity of sexual preference and expression with a question of how our identities may or may not be defined by those external things.
Sadly, Sucsy either himself or through his writer misses that opportunity entirely in favor of a rather bland, monogamous pairing that ultimately only reinforces a hetero-normative coupling. The movie flirts with the possibility of a queer relationship or a same-sex romance when A inhabits the body of a girl. However, when it's time for Rhiannon to take off her clothes and get into bed with A, which happens a couple of times, A is always a white boy.
Owen Teague (It and Bloodline) plays Alexander, the white boy inhabited by A who is the sexiest of all the boys that A inhabits in this film. Of course, this is the boy with whom Rhiannon decides to go to bed and possibly have sex. There's the scene where we see Alexander shirtless. He's so attractive and perfect that it becomes obvious that he's the one that Rhiannon should have permanently, which is ultimately boring. The diversity of people we see are needlessly tossed aside, and it's a shame.
Even though it's not the same, Quantum Leap was a better story about someone inhabiting the lives of others, or Star Trek: The Next Generation did an episode in its fourth season called "The Host," which was also a better story about a spirit inhabiting other bodies and lives but being in love with one girl. Those were science-fiction shows that dealt with this premise a bit more interestingly than this.
Rated PG-13 for language, teen drinking and suggestive material.
Running Time: 1 hr. and 37 mins.
Available on DVD and VOD.

Women We've Elected
Women We're Supporting
Since launching in 2017, Fund Her has helped elect 17 women, more than 50% of whom are women of color or of the LGBTQ+ community. In California, these victories boosted women's representation in the California Legislature from 22% to 31% for the first time in history; our candidates in Virginia helped flip Virginia blue and paved the way for Virginia's historic passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. Fund Her is proud to extend support to candidates running for office in Iowa, Minnesota, and Arizona, especially in these unprecedented times.
What They Stand For
Fund Her's core values are women's equality, reproductive freedom, social justice, and climate responsibility. We endorse women who share our dedication to those principles and are committed to fighting for them once elected.
Equality goes beyond equal pay. Our endorsees are champions for women's rights and equal opportunity for all women everywhere, from the classroom to the boardroom, including the right to a workplace that is free from harassment and discrimination.
We're seeing an unprecedented surge in attacks on women's rights, including a coordinated effort to overturn Roe v. Wade. We support candidates who will legislate in favor of women's agency over their own bodies and will protect women's access to healthcare necessities, including family planning services.
We support candidates who will work to elevate the voices of California's marginalized communities and bring issues of social justice to the forefront of policy discussion. This includes addressing criminal justice reform, equal opportunity in our education system, and uplifting women of color in our communities and in our capitol.
We are committed to tackling climate change. Environmental factors impact our daily lives in incalculable ways, from increasingly extreme natural disasters to the public health impacts of pollution to the devastating consequences of rising sea levels. We support candidates that will fight for bold solutions, including environmental protections and clean technology.
Are you a bold progressive woman running for state office?
Since our launch, we have supported 38 women, ten of whom are serving in the California Legislature's, four in California constitutional offices, and two who helped flip the Virginia State Legislature blue in 2019. We'd love to support you, too. If you haven't yet, check out what we stand for, and then get in touch.
Our endorsement process includes filling out a questionnaire which will be reviewed by our board. You can request more information by emailing Samantha, our Director of Fundraising.
Paid for by Fund Her (FPPC ID #1398107) and not authorized by any candidate or controlled committee.

Description: This is a port of Katsuhiro Chiba's instrument Sev. It spits out randomized notes in tempo based on a chord or scale. The control section lets you: 1) define the center and range of the chord/scale; 2) set the attack and release of the notes; 3) apply delay and detuning; 4) set volume and probability (i.e. how many notes occur). It's a fun little device for creating beds of sound that don't sound as static as loops. Thanks to Katsuhiro Chiba for allowing me to share this port. Any mods need to be attributed to Katsuhiro Chiba.
UPDATE 1.0.6: More streamlining of the timing scheme, thanks again to broc from the Ableton forum.
it looks great, but i haven't understand how to use it sorry. I put se vin one mid track, a midi intstrument in an other midi track, midi from sev to midi instrument, but nothing happens.
@lek: Sev is an instrument. Save it to the Max Instruments folder. It creates its own sound. Make sure you turn up the volume on the last X/Y controller or you won't hear anything!
Oops! I uploaded a version where the generator patch was it's own separate patcher file.I just uploaded a new version where the generators are all internal patchers that you can open from within the "Scope" window. Re-download it and it should be working now. Sorry about the confusion!
sorry, same for me it doesn't work.
I would love to see it working.
1. you have some notes selected on the keyboard or have a MIDI clip playing on the track.
2. that the fourth XY parameters (Volume & Probability) are not at 0, otherwise you will hear no sound.
3. Live's transport must be running for Sev make sound.
If you guys still can't get it going please leave a comment.
Still nothing , I have followed your tips but no sound is coming out.
any chance to get the midi going out from the patch to an other midi track?
Could you download the device again and reinstall it? I just want to make sure you don't have the older version I uploaded that did not work.
I did, but still nothing, I'll wait for an upgrade, I get a wrong message on the max window.
I really can't understand why it doesn't work for me.
If for anyone else works it means that I do something wrong I will double check.
I insert you synth on the midi channel, let the transport bar running , put up volume, insert some midi note, midi arrives, but no sound comes out.
Anyway thanks, let me know if I do something wrong.
I have the same. No luck. does not work. i have most recent download and done what you say.
very specific sound, would have been cool when it would have been also been possible to get the midi notes out of it.
but thanks, it's a cool tool!
I'm working on an update that cleans up the code a bit and hopefully will work more consistently for people. I will post it soon.
I will look into making a version that outputs midi since that's been a common request.
I will also work on adding a waveform chooser to vary the timbral possibilities.
Ok version 1.0.1 is up. Cleaned up the code a bit and fixed another mistake I made in the porting so all seven oscillators should work now.
with the new upgrade Sev.
Sorry, it's me again, I opened your patch in Max presentetion mode locked it and fiddled with volume and probability, clicked on run set in some chords and guess what? it's working, and I must say that I love the sound that comes out.
When I get out of presentation mode I am back to normal, no sound.
How come? It looks like they are two different patch that when is in presentation mode it works and in normal mode is not working.
Please help me out, I hope I made myself clear, forgive my english.
Guys stay tuned, that version that had the Jazzclient objects was from a version I was setting up to control with a Lemur. M4L is doing some really weird stuff for me right now like not saving things properly, which is what happened in this case.
Max is having some trouble at the moment so I wouldn't expect to be able to use a patch when in patching mode at all right now. The Abes have acknowledged that they and C74 are working on whatever the trouble is. Using devices from within Live work fine though.
New version with my control scheme removed entirely so as not to cause any problems with saving.
Thanks for that but I'm not seeing it.
Where have you posted your mod? I don't see any way to upload to another "author's" device, but you're saying you've done that? I totally welcome your addition I just seem to be too dense to figure out where it is!
I wonder if this helps some of you - I went into patching mode and added the box labeled 'run' to presentation mode so I can click it from live. That gets it going.
Hey - I love this, works great.
However, I get alot of clicking with the settings I like.
Can a variant of this become a midi even generator?
In other words, can it generate midi notes to output?
Hi sorry, for the delay. Sev doesn't output midi notes in its current state, but I will look into adding that feature.
Version 1.0.4 should alleviate the problems with sometimes not running when Live's transport begins.
It looks not difficult to get MIDI notes from Sev... would be awesome to do that! I'll try it!
Actually I've already made a similar instrument that sends MIDI now I just need to clean it up and post it.
yo. did you ever manage to get this to send midi out please?
I haven't updated these things in quite a while so let me know if you have any problems.


In production environment we have seen that there are certain times when you make a good query by applying best practices but you don't get good results at the time of sorting.
This might happen because of DATETIME columns which are mostly used for sorting purpose and indexes for these columns do not give you appropriate results.
Mentioned below is tip for using DATETIME column which can enhance the speed of your query while maintaining same number of indexes.
The above query will now use the new updated index and will be much faster as it will get records by using an integer column instead of DATETIME column.

I've limited my domain purchases in recent years, and even let some of my bought-on-a-whim domains go (wordplumbr.com) after years of paying for renewals without using them.
But I still went ahead with the purchase of pencoyd.app when Google opened up that new TLD.
No specific plans for the new domain, so for now, I'll link it to this post. I'll leave the other 1,500+ possibilities alone.
I did a double-take when I saw today's New York Times headline "A Big Step in Roger Federer's Comeback, but a Gantlet Awaits Him" because I always thought the correct word is gauntlet.
But I learned something new today, courtesy of Grammarist.
Gantlet was the original spelling of the word referring to a form of punishment in which people armed with sticks or other weapons arrange themselves in two lines and beat a person forced to run between them.
Both words are accurate, with slightly different contexts, although often used interchangeably now. The New York Times, of course, used the word properly.
Am I done learning today? Hope not.
As a new administration prepares to take office this month, I'm concerned about attempts to rewrite history.
All of which made me wonder about the history of WhiteHouse.gov. After literally wondering about this in the middle of the night, I researched enough to be able to sleep easier (on this front) going forward.
Digital history is being preserved, however imperfectly, and our responsibility as citizens to learn from our past enjoys a firm foundation.
The first public website for the White House was developed in 1994, during the Clinton administration. As noted in the quote above, the National Archives have versions of the Clinton website, both the final version and final version, but impressive collection of other versions and other historical documents is found within the Clinton Digital Library, with links to official government hosting. The final WhiteHouse.gov from George W. Bush, too, is hosted officially by the government at https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/.
History and (even better) version control for laws and public documents of all kinds makes sense and helps us hold each other accountable over time. That doesn't mean it's easy, so I've made a small donation to the Internet Archive, inspired by what they've already achieved and to support more work here. You can donate, too.
I'm drawn to this subject not simply because of political shenanigans or concerns over how America holds itself accountable during the coming years, but because on a personal level I'm working to rehabilitate my previous years of blogging, currently offline in a WordPress XML archive. From March 2003 to January 2012, I published 1,465 posts at http://www.pencoyd.com/clock which are currently offline. I'm working on resurrecting that archive next. I'll use https://clock.pencoyd.com/ as the blog home going forward.
Small irony, given my past work life: I needed to allow web.archive.org as a Proxy/Anonymizer in my OpenDNS parental controls to view the old versions of my blog.

Through its Fuse Technologies initiative and a growing list of partners, AGCO continues to make farm-generated data easier to translate into higher yields and greater efficiencies.
What doesn't make it easier to use that data are roadblocks put in place by proprietary software and extra steps required to download and translate the information. That's why AGCO is developing its Fuse Technologies open-architecture platform, says Matt Rushing, of AGCO Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS).
"Fuse is an open approach to decision support software," says Rushing, the vice president, product line at ATS. "That enables growers to seamlessly integrate their AGCO equipment with the trusted service providers and software partners they use.
"It's all about making sure farmers have choices," Rushing says, which is why AGCO is partnering with a variety of companies that provide decision agriculture software, such as computer-based applications and agronomy services. DuPont Pioneer is one such provider working with AGCO in the U.S.
The two companies reached an agreement earlier this year that allows growers to wirelessly transfer data collected through AGCO's VarioDoc, TaskDoc™ and AGCOMMAND® systems to Pioneer Encirca(SM) services. Essentially Encirca, a data-driven, agronomy-based whole-farm solution available for corn and soybean farmers, can seamlessly use information from AGCO equipment provided by participating farmers.
"There is a great synergy between both the companies, AGCO and DuPont Pioneer," says Michael Sharov, senior manager, Encirca services business development and planning. "There were a number of reasons we wanted to partner with them. No. 1, AGCO is one of the leaders in the farm machinery space … and AGCO is also pursuing an open approach. That's very important to us that farmers be able to choose.


We conduct plan reviews and provide code advice from the schematic design phase through finalization of construction documents. During the preliminary phase, our code compliance experts analyze the design and prepare a detailed report identifying relevant code provisions and possible compliance issues. We will suggest modifications and solutions prior to plan submittal with a goal to limit critical building department issued corrections.
Burnham's code consultants will also attend meetings with municipal code officials to resolve code issues. Once the municipal building department provides comments and requests corrections, our team will conduct an evaluation to determine the most effective resolution. A list of suggested responses and drawing modifications will be prepared prior to re-submittal.
As part of our proficiency with the different codes relevant to new construction, Burnham has nationally recognized expertise in the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and state and local accessibility codes. Given that there can be differences between the federal, state, and municipal accessibility requirements, it is important to have an expert in accessible design standards on your project. We also offer egress, life safety, and fire protection evaluations and consultations.
