CLEARWATER, FL — In a small one-bedroom apartment in Clearwater, Florida, 93-year-old Russell Gackenbach sat on his floral patterned sofa thumbing through a photo album containing original prints of some of the most iconic people and events in United States military history.
After earning his navigator certification and completing the radar operators coarse in Boca Rotan, Florida, Gackenbach was shipped off to Wendover, Utah. There, just seven months after receiving his commission, young Gackenbach embarked on an unimaginable journey, one that would change the course of history.
The magnitude of the event was not evident to the crews until days later, when they were shown photographs of Hiroshima—that is when they truly understood the devastating effect of the weapon they had deployed.
Given the unprecedented American losses during the battle for Okinawa that spring — one third of the invasion force was killed, wounded or missing — U.S. government casualty estimates for an invasion of the Japanese home islands were 1 million American dead and wounded.

*WESAIL and Local Offer Facebook Pages Survey - September 2022 Update*
The contract for the WESAIL service and Local Offer changed to Family Action on 1st April 2022. There was less money available for this contract. This meant that the service had to reduce the amount of staff it had. We are now looking at how we can best use the time our staff have.
As part of this, we are reviewing our Facebook pages. Thank you to everyone who took part in the survey. The results are below.
Question: Do you have any concerns about the two pages being joined?
Answer: Majority (over 65%) said no.
For those who selected 'Yes', not everyone chose to comment. The comments that were received about the concern of joining the pages were about the different feel to each of the pages, saying that the Local Offer one feels more formal. There was also a query about why they are the same. This was explained in the Facebook posts linking to the survey, the Consultation page on the Local Offer and also on the first page of the survey itself.
Question: Do you have any questions about this proposal?
Although some people responded 'Yes', no questions were received via the given email.
Question: Which pages do you currently follow?
Answer: Most (60%) said both the Local Offer and WESAIL Facebook pages. 40% said just the WESAIL page. None said just the Local Offer page.
Question: Do you think that having information in one place will help / save time?
Answer: Majority (80%) said yes.
Question: What would you like the new Facebook page to be called?
Answer: Majority (over 50%) said WESAIL and Wakefield Local Offer.
Question: What would you like to see more of on our Facebook page?
Answers: Each category was voted for, with Education (50%) and Social Care (50%) being the most popular. Health was next, with 35% of the vote. Other responses included fun posts, carers groups, training for parents, SENDIASS information, signposting to services and other charities and information about the local area.
Therefore, we will be joining the WESAIL and Local Offer pages to create a new Facebook page. This new page will be called WESAIL and Wakefield Local Offer. It will be launched on Tuesday 27th September 2022.
Our Privacy Policy will not change and is available by visiting https://www.family-action.org.uk/services-privacy-notice/
The SENDIASS part of our service remains impartial and the new Facebook page will not be managed by the Local Authority.
*Local Offer Website - August 2022 update*
The Wakefield SEND Local Offer website is being redesigned.
Wakefield Council, WESAIL, West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board and Wakefield Parent Carer Forum are working together to make the Local Offer website better.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to give their views on how you want the new Local Offer website to look.
The results are now in, and the preferred design was mock-up two with 76% choosing this option – sighting they felt it looked more appealing, clear, smart, professional, and therefore trustworthy.
The preferred colours chosen at 75% were purple and green, with respondents sharing that these appeared brighter and more eye-catching.
Most respondents (95%) also felt the ability to search for information was useful. Therefore, we will be ensuring there is a search function on the new site.
Wakefield Council, WESAIL, West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, and Wakefield Parent Carer Forum are committed to working together to ensure the new Local Offer website is the best it can be.

Királyrév (szlovákul Kráľov Brod) község  Szlovákiában, a Nagyszombati kerület Galántai járásában. Mátyusföldi magyar község.

Fekvése
Galántától 17 km-re délkeletre, a Szeli-Dudvág partján, Alsószeli, Zsigárd és Nádszeg között fekszik. Területén folyik keresztül a Fekete-víz, melynek legmagasabb vízszintjét 2006. április 3-án mérték, amikor 464 cm-en tetőzött, s az árvíz 1383 hektár területet öntött el.

Nevének eredete
Nevét még királyi birtokként, a Fekete-vízen itt átvezető révről kapta.

Története

1252-ben villa Sancti Michaelis néven említik először, királyi birtok volt. Egy 1334-es oklevél szerint helyén egy Szentmihály nevű település állt. Lakói jobbágyok voltak, akik főként mezőgazdaságból és erdei munkákból éltek és a vágsellyei uradalomhoz tartoztak. A falut 1808-ban már Király Rév néven említik. A 19. század első felében lakosainak száma 600 körül volt. 1849. június 20-án ütközet volt itt a honvédsereg és a császári hadsereg között. Iskolájának legkorábbi említése 1890-ből származik.

Fényes Elek szerint "Királyrév, magyar falu, Poson vgyében, 650 kath. lak., róna termékeny határral, szép erdővel. A sellyei urad. tartozik, s ut. p. Szered."

A trianoni békeszerződésig Pozsony vármegye Galántai járásához tartozott, ezt követően a Magyarországtól elszakított területek részeként Csehszlovákiához csatolták. A csehszlovák hatóságok a település nevét 1927-ben Kráľov Brod-ra változtatták. Az első bécsi döntés értelmében 1938 és 1945 között Magyarországhoz tartozott. 1942-ben ONCsA házakat adtak át. A második világháború utáni nagyhatalmi döntések ismét Csehszlovákiához csatolták. A felvidéki magyarság teljes jogfosztottságának időszakában a Beneš-dekrétumok értelmében 1947-ben 13 magyar családot Csehországba deportáltak, 30 magyar családot pedig erőszakkal Magyarországra telepítettek. Lakóházaikba 25 önkéntesen áttelepülő magyarországi és romániai szlovák család költözött.

Népessége
1910-ben 785, túlnyomórészt magyar lakosa volt.

2011-ben 1156 lakosából 919 magyar, 217 szlovák, 1-1 cseh, orosz, morva és más, illetve 16 ismeretlen nemzetiségű volt.

Nevezetességei
 Szent Imre herceg tiszteletére szentelt római katolikus temploma 1836-ban épült klasszicista stílusban.
 A plébánia előtt álló Szent Mihály szobor a 18. században készült.
 Kopjafáját a királyrévi-csata, valamint a háborúkban  elesett hősök és az elhurcoltak emlékére emelték.
 A község időszaki kiadványa Rév Mondó címen jelenik meg.

Neves személyek
 Itt született 1843-ban Morvay Lipót római katolikus esperes-plébános.
 Itt született 1903-ban Czottner Sándor géplakatos, kohómunkás, politikus.
 Itt nevelkedett Szarka Gyula zenész, a Ghymes együttes alapítója, zenekarvezetője.
 Itt nevelkedett Szarka Tamás zenész, a Ghymes együttes tagja.
 Itt szolgált Bedeő Pál (1805-1873) egyházi író, katolikus plébános.
 Itt szolgált Presinszky Ferenc (1908-1970) plébános.
 Itt szolgált Fehér Damáz (1913-1998) komáromi bencés gimnáziumi tanár.

Q: I am having an Unwanted horizontal scroll bar in my live website but not in local host I am trying to get rid of the Unwanted Horizontal scroll bar on my live website, it doesn't appear in my local host though...
https://mjshubham21.live/ <-- this is my site, made using Vite + ReactJs.
I tried to apply overflow: hidden; and max-width: 100% to body tag but still it didn't work...
NOTE: I just started with this site, it is work in progress and not yet responsive.
I just want to ge rid of the unwanted scroll bar on my live site.

A: Yep, I get one too. It's going to depend upon your resolution, so open up your devtools into a separate window, and resize your main window. You can see the horizontal bar appear at a specific resolution.
I opened up the Chrome Devtools and started inspecting various elements. When I highlighted your upper right section, I noticed it went off the screen on the right and was wider than everything else on the page.

After looking specifically at that image, called "hero.gif", I looked at the styling for the class "heroGif" and noticed the width was set to 55%:

Manually changing that to 50%, and the scrollbar disappeared. However, when you set it to 50%, your aspect ratio on the image is all messed up (as it is at 55%). Remember that width and height % are based on the size of the container which the image resides. If you set one and not the other, the aspect ratio is retained and the image is scaled properly. I'd probably keep the height % and eliminate the width % altogether. I don't know if that class is used elsewhere, but you'll have to test to make sure it doesn't break anything else.

These Celebrities Are Practicing Meditation, Here's Why You Should Too!
If you don't know much about yoga, chances are that you'll think of it as some weird mumbo-jumbo that relies on believing in a whole bunch of things that hasn't been proven to exist, like chakras and universe energy, among other questionable things. However, there's so much more to yoga and meditation than what you may have perceived. Meditation is actually a real practice with real benefits, and if you're not doing it, then you're doing yourself a serious disservice because meditation is almost necessary if you want to have a healthy, balanced life.
Meditation is known to have all sorts of benefits, including stabilizing your mood which means you're not jumpy or quick to anger or sadness all the time but rather in a calm and collected mood. You'll have control over your anxiety and will also have a greater attention span, meaning you'll be able to concentrate on certain things with more effectiveness, thereby helping you with work a lot more than you think.
Oprah is just full of surprises. You'd never have guessed how far a person like her could go, and yet she's one of the most influential and powerful women in the world. She's also a staunch supporter of meditation and has been for quite a few years now. She started back in 2011 when she brought a few meditation instructors to her workplace and fell in love with the practice instantly! According to her, meditation allows her to reconnect with the inner values that are important to her and also lets her find a sort of stillness within her that's quite valuable. She finds the experience energizing and yet strangely calming, which is exactly how meditation really is! For her, what meditation offers is far more important than the work she does.
You probably remember Jerry Seinfeld from the sitcom that was named after him. He's been a huge hit on television and on the live stage for a good many years now, and he says that he owes all his success to meditation. He's actually been at it for over 40 years now, so we're inclined to believe him. According to him, meditation helps him take things easy, and judging by his calm and fun personality, we're certain it is working out great for him! He claims that meditation charges up his body with energy and also helps him sleep peacefully at night, which is yet another huge benefit of the practice.
A world-famous basketball player might not exactly be the perfect candidate to tell you about meditation in your imagination, but it's worked out perfectly for him so far. Michael started mediation because his coach made him do it back in the 90s. The coach brought in a professional instructor, and he really changed the way Michael played the sport. Instead of avoiding all the distractions around him, Michael learned to absorb all of his surroundings which allowed him to take better shots, making him the outstanding player that he is. He's stated himself that it works well for him and seems pretty excited about the whole thing, even after all the years that have passed since he first dabbled in meditation. Of course, as compared to Jerry Seinfeld, he's only just getting started, but we're sure he'll get there someday!
You probably don't know Michelle by her name, but she is slowly garnering a lot of attention in Hollywood after the immense success of Crazy Rich Asians. She's generally into action movies, and she does them extremely well. She's even performed in blockbusters like The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Tomorrow Never Dies, among many others, and she's not looking to stop anytime soon. Unlike many celebrities who find meditation somehow, Michelle was introduced to it when she was born into her Buddhist family. She has always practiced meditation, and it has had profound effects on her personality as she considers all of mankind to be her family. We're sure she'll keep her meditation routine up for as long as she can muster because it's worth it.
There are numerous other celebrities out there who meditate, and you'll just have to start practicing it yourself to see why it's so beneficial.

Meet Collector & Legacy Donor, Aaron Milrad
Aaron Milrad, a prolific art collector and philanthropist, has been supporting the arts and the artists of Toronto Outdoor Art Fair for over forty years now.
Mr. Milrad awards $3,000 towards the Best of Ceramics Award, but his support of the artists goes beyond financial contribution. He is truly invested in nurturing a deep understanding and connection to the artists and their works, and has established a special ritual to do just that; every year, he invites the winning artist for a tour of his extensive ceramics collection, followed by a lunch discussing the commission of an art piece or an addition to the collection.
Aaron Milrad and Joon Hee Kim in his office with the Ceramics purchase award.
Interview with Aaron Milrad
You have been supporting the Best of Ceramics award for over 40 years. Why is this award, and ceramics as a craft, important to you?
Ceramics is a craft that goes back to human prehistory. As we continue to discover the presence of humans by finding shards, pots, and other ceramic vessels and products which enable us to gather an understanding of prehistorical peoples and how clay was used.
Ceramics really encompass all the major elements of life - of earth, water, air and fire. People who are involved in ceramics understand that it is more than a craft. It is a part of life, history and civilization and also as part of the maker.
There is a direct connection between the artist and the material in the making of the ceramic objects, the human hand and "touch". It brings the maker into direct contact with the history of life and the firing of the work brings out the risk and the reward to the maker and to the audience. Without knowing in advance the results of the making of the object. There is an element of a higher "hand" involved that goes back to a spiritual input. If one were religious it could be like a religious experience.
The 1970 Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition opening ceremonies included Mayor David Crombie, Federal Cabinet Minister John Roberts, Murray Koffler and a group of dedicated supporters including Aaron Milrad (foreground, front row), Pat Fleisher, Hilda Wilson, Elizabeth Kilbourn, Ernie Herzig, Kay Kritzweiser, John Downing, Issy Sharp, Marvin Gelber, Edie Frankel, David Silcox, Sonja Bata, Brigid O'Reilly, and John Band.
How have you seen the Fair change and grow over the last several decades?
The fair over the past number of years has matured. It has been accepted as important and has given rise to an opportunity for numerous artists to put their wares on display and earn some money and some reputation. More and better artists and "art products" are available and the audience itself has become a more sophisticated one recognizing the improved quality of the works available for sale. It's a wonderful "art meeting place".
The winner of the Best of Ceramics Award is also awarded a purchase award from yourself. How was your experience meeting 2018's winner, Joon Hee Kim?
Meeting Joon Hee Kim was a mutual present and an educational experience. I was so pleased to be able to meet with her and spend time with her at my office and then have lunch to discuss the art world and ceramics in particular. She is now a friend. The piece I purchased was one that was on display at the fair and sits in my personal office.
Why is philanthropy important to you?
Art philanthropy is important to me because it is giving back to the people who give so much and are paid so little and contribute so much to the quality of life. They are often the forgotten ones in their lifetime with the benefits later, if any, being passed to the collectors and heirs. Yet in spite of that, there is a true calling for the artists to create and share their creations and inventiveness with all of us.
What encouragement would you give to those who have not yet been patrons to the arts?
Without the arts, the city would be only a place to live. People come to Toronto because of the quality of life. What that really means is the opportunity to participate in and share theatre, dance, music and other arts that make life more enjoyable and add to experiences and education of the recipients, be they children or adults. Life is more than just the stock exchange. Sadly governments have higher priorities in their view and need to deal with crisis and unforeseen difficulties. Often times the arts are the forgotten part of a budget. We must support those that give so much and get back so little financially in return.
A letter of gratitude to Aaron Milrad from Best of Ceramics 2018 Award Winner, Joon Hee Kim
My Remembrances
Excerpts from "TOAE: Its History from 1961 to 2007", by Lawyer Aaron Milrad, Honorary Director
"... I remember attending the first exhibitions at the Four Seasons Motel on Jarvis Street and thought what a good idea this was for the younger and for under-appreciated artists.
My enthusiasm for the exhibition led me to agree to sponsor the Ceramics Award, later the Mixed Media Award and again back to the Ceramics Award. I was especially interested in ceramics because that was the collecting area that was important to me and led to my involvement with the George Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art in Toronto, later sitting on their Board and becoming Chair of the Museum.
I continued my Ceramics Award over the years and I added a purchase award to it plus that the winning artist would have lunch with me and a tour of my collection at our law offices. That way it gave me an added dimension to personalize the award and attach a human person and face to it, both for me and the artist."

You start the game by repairing a rundown office space and personalizing it to make it fully yours. Mission objectives consist of tasks like taking photos and checking out the latest fashion and makeup trends for your magazine.
The open world format allows you to explore four different areas. Scattered around the game world are coins that can be used to purchase various items and unlocks. You get to meet famous people and superstars in glamorous locations. You sniff around these locations for hot stories to be featured in your magazine.
You own a smartphone for performing tasks like checking coins collected, sending messages, and tracking objectives. You can change the ringtone and cover of the phone. You can design posters and T-shirts. You can also draw pictures all over the faces of the Bratz using various shades of lipsticks. You have fun experimenting with various jewelry, clothing, makeup and accessories.
You can play minigames to gain extra coins. The minigames consists of a variety of things like posing for pictures, picking up flags, picking up dropped pieces of papers etc. The coins you collect can be used to purchase clothes, music tracks, cutscenes and other things. The game's cutscenes are numerous and lengthy.
If you are expecting the game to follow the plot of the movie, you will be disappointed. It borrows elements from the movies, but doesn't share the same storyline as the movie.
Sponsorship Placements
The game features sponsorship placements for various products. The clothes, makeup and jewelry products are based off real-life products. This gives the game a more realistic feel.
Ideas well-implemented
A rare fashion/glamour focused video game
The game is targeted at young teenage girls
The gameplay is repetitive and monotonous
For its target audience, Bratz: Rock Angelz is an enjoyable game. Fans of the series will enjoy the girly items and trends. But for anyone else, the game is rather a borefest.

Bratz: Rock Angelz is a 2005 adventure video game based on the Bratzfashion doll line. It was developed by Blitz Games and published by THQ. It is based on the direct-to-video film Bratz: Rock Angelz and the toyline affiliated with the same name. The game was released on the PlayStation 2, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and Microsoft Windows. An Xbox version was planned, but never released. The game has sold 1.4 million copies.
Gameplay[edit]
PlayStation 2 and GameCube[edit]
This version of the game is an open world adventure.[1] The player controls one of the four Bratz girls (Yasmin, Cloe, Sasha, and Jade) who are attempting to launch their own teen magazine.[2]
The player can explore 4 different locations; Stylesville (where the Bratz live), London, Paris, and the mansion. The objectives of the game are triggered when the player takes the correct Bratz girl to a speech bubble. During the game, coins called blings appear, which are coins for the Bratz girls. Each girl carries a cell phone, used to send messages between characters, check the amount of blings owned, and the location of the next objective. The phone's cover and ringtone can be changed.[1] The player can also collect character token coins, used to buy movie clips. There are 25 available for each Bratz girl. The game also allows players to take pictures, and play minigames for extra money. The girls' make-up can be applied as the player wishes. The Bratz can be guided to shops, to buy the latest trends with their collected blings.[3]
Minigames are activated by going to certain locations or talking to non-player characters. They include:
Posing - The player must do the button combinations before the time runs out. In certain objectives, this minigame will be featured.
Blown Away! - The player has to pick up pieces of paper that a person has dropped, and return them.
Model Behavior! - The player has to take pictures in a photo booth.
Rockin' Racerz - The player has to put on the Bratz girl's in-line roller skates, and grab the flags as fast as she can.
Game Boy Advance[edit]
The Game Boy Advance version uses the same story as the console version, but includes its own set of tasks. Progress is achieved by completing tasks in the home town of Stylesville. Halfway through the story, the girls travel to London, and prepare for a London show.
Microsoft Windows[edit]
The Microsoft Windows version of the game is different from the console version. It follows the story of the film.
There are nine objectives of the game. The odd-numbered objectives (chapter 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) are reflex-like mini-games, where the player has to do the tasks to collect points. Each mini-game has four rounds. When the player takes or misses the part, the player will gain lower points. At three misses, the player has to do the round again losing a number of points. With points, the player can unlock fashions for the Bratz girls, except in the final objective.
The even-numbered objectives (chapter 2, 4, 6, 8) are puzzle-like adventure games. The player has to play with the certain Bratz character and take things to solve a puzzle (for example give a camera to a colleague). The player can take pictures on those objectives to print them on the 'Secrets' menu. Each adventure objective, the player has to design an article, logo, flyer, or poster to complete the part of the objective. The player can even print their own design. This part can be accessed on the 'Secrets' menu.
When the player has beaten the game, they'll unlock a card game, called Top Trumps, which is similar to war. The player gets a card each turn with number totals on it. The player has to guess which number on the card is higher than the opponent's card. If their correct, they win the card. They go on playing until all 28 cards are in one players possession.
After Jade is rejected by Your Thing magazine the girls decide to make their own magazine to compete against Your Thing.

Teacher Appreciation Week is an aspiration week. Beth Schmidt, a former teacher, nonprofit founder, and Emerson Collective's Education Portfolio Director, explains that expectations of our teachers have changed. In order to truly appreciate teachers in America, we must elevate the teaching profession and recognize its value.
Jessica Lander is a high school teacher in Lowell, Massachusetts, where she teaches 153 students—many of them immigrants—who speak more than 40 languages. To educate students on the power of civic engagement in America, she introduced a curriculum called Generation Citizen. Students unanimously chose gun violence as their community's greatest crisis, then researched the issue, read articles, and interviewed local leaders. After concluding that their community should run a gun buy-back program, they presented their case to the head of the Lowell Police Department, who signed on. Jessica's class wrote letters, created a social media campaign, translated posters into different languages, reached out to newspapers, went on local radio shows, and wrote op-eds to get the community involved. After two and a half months, 38 guns were turned in, and Jessica's class has become "hooked" on the power of being civically engaged.
In Los Angeles, California, Alisha Mernick, a high school teacher within the DonorsChoose.org network, responded to the dire need for a more positive school climate. To address bullying, she created a project for her students to encounter and discuss the ways in which culture reinforces stereotypes and expectations around gender roles, sexuality, race, beauty, and societal values. Through media analysis, she asked students to appropriate familiar images and create artwork remixing those images to communicate a critical message about the values and expectations of American culture that often result in bullying.
In addition to teaching Steinbeck and subtraction, our teachers are tasked with molding our nation's young people into model citizens by addressing critical issues of our time—gun violence, bullying, and racism. Teachers address these tasks with grace, urgency and even love. They innovate in their classrooms to engage and reach all students, inspiring and encouraging the promise of change. They refuse to allow students to harden to their own potential, offering acceptance and empathy in the midst of a nation who will not.
In this photo, Marissa Molina teaches Spanish at the Denver School of Science and Technology.
Yet, the teaching profession is deeply undervalued for the critical role teachers play in our society. We do not provide teachers with the tools and support—reimagined school structures, professional development, and compensation—that they need.
The physical design and space of the American classroom has not changed since 1905 when teachers were training students to work in factories during the Industrial Revolution. American teachers still stand in front of overcrowded classrooms meeting the Carnegie Unit standard, defined as 120 hours of contact time with students, or one hour of instruction on a subject per day, five days a week, for 24 weeks per year.
Perhaps most importantly, perception of the American teacher has also not budged. America – a country that prides itself on innovation, cutting-edge skillsets and opportunity for all – does not value the leaders who disseminate the knowledge to our nation's brain trust to reach those goals. The value of our nation's teachers is reflected in the way we compensate them. Just last week, teachers across Arizona walked out of their classrooms to protest their low salaries, which are more than $10,000 below the national average of $59,000 per year. Teachers in Colorado followed suit.
Despite all of this stagnation, the role, responsibilities, and expectations of our nation's teachers have been elevated. At this moment, the stakes are high for the future potential of our country, and it is indeed, teachers themselves who are the first responders to champion change within their outdated classroom walls.
Today in America, Teacher Appreciation Week is an aspirational week. In order to truly appreciate the teaching profession in America – and to raise its value in society – we must elevate teachers among the respected doctors and business leaders of our time, professionalize the industry with rigorous teacher preparation, compensation and support, and offer teachers new, innovative structures in which to develop our nation's greatest assets. Only then will we have acknowledged teachers' evolved and critical roles in weaving the fabric of American society.

EDA: $3.1 Million Invested to Protect Businesses from Flooding in Disaster-Impacted Mitchell, SD
Under Disaster Relief
Today, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross announced that the Department's Economic Development Administration (EDA) is awarding a $3.1 million grant to the city of Mitchell, South Dakota, to make improvements to storm water management infrastructure. The EDA grant, to be matched with nearly $775,000 in local investment, is expected to create or retain about 25 jobs and spur $2.1 million in private investment.
"President Trump is committed to helping communities across the nation repair the infrastructure they need to support business development and growth," said Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. "This project will help the region around Mitchell greatly improve water management in the event of future natural disasters, allowing businesses to quickly recover and boost regional efforts to attract and retain employers."
"EDA supports the South Dakota communities impacted by natural disasters as they recover and build back stronger," said Dana Gartzke, Performing the Delegated Duties of the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development. "As a result of this project, businesses located within the East Central Drainage Basin will benefit from the installation of curbs, gutters, and storm sewer piping to convey surface water more efficiently, and updated sewers and watermains will ensure businesses remain open during flood events."
"I'm pleased the Department of Commerce will provide funding to assist the city of Mitchell with improvements to their storm water management system," said Senator John Thune. "This announcement is welcome news for a community that experienced significant flooding last year, and this infrastructure investment will facilitate Mitchell's long-term recovery efforts to protect homes and small businesses."
"I thank Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross for recognizing the need to provide resources to the city of Mitchell so they can improve their water management," said Senator Mike Rounds. "This project will allow businesses to update and upgrade sewer piping and water mains, to help prevent damage during flood events."
"As a resident of this city, I know Mitchell is no stranger to flooding," said Congressman Dusty Johnson. "These dollars will be wisely used to beef up much needed storm water management infrastructure to further support Mitchell's economic growth. This will be welcomed news to the businesses and fellow residents in Mitchell."
This project was made possible by the regional planning efforts led by Planning & Development District III, which EDA funds to bring together the public and private sectors to create an economic development roadmap to strengthen the regional economy, support private capital investment and create jobs.
This project is funded by the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act of 2019 (Pub. L. 116-20) (PDF), which provided EDA with $600 million in additional Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) Program (PDF) funds for disaster relief and recovery for areas affected by Hurricanes Florence, Michael, and Lane, Typhoons Yutu and Mangkhut, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, and other major natural disasters occurring in calendar year 2018, and tornadoes and floods occurring in calendar year 2019, under the Robert T. Stafford Act. Please visit EDA's Disaster Supplemental webpage for more information.
About the U.S. Economic Development Administration (www.eda.gov)
The mission of the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) is to lead the federal economic development agenda by promoting competitiveness and preparing the nation's regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy.

Black Ensemble Theater's new $16-million arts facility
On Friday, September 10th
Black Ensemble Theater Breaks Ground on
New $16-million Performance Arts Facility
The 50,000 Square-Foot Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center expected to open in September 2011, will be Permanent Home in 34-Year History
With its expanded and enhanced capabilities, the Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center is designed to engage the community and encourage more holistic, positive critical thought about how African-Americans are seen and presented. The new facility will include amenities such as:
300-seat main stage theater (double the capacity of the current venue)
150-seat stage to serve niche audiences and smaller-scale productions
Classroom space that can be used by the community
Rehearsal hall and dance studio that will feature scene, costume and wardrobe rooms
Seven (7) dressing rooms
Work space for musicians
Expanded front lobby space with two concession areas
Indoor parking garage
The Black Ensemble Theater will mark the groundbreaking of its new $16 million performance arts and cultural facility, the Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center, at 4440 N. Clark Street, Sept. 10, at 2 p.m. The ceremony, which is open to the public, will feature performances from popular Black Ensemble productions and include remarks from founder and executive director Jackie Taylor. Invited guests include: Governor Pat Quinn, Mayor Richard M. Daley, and Alderman Eugene Schulter. Actor Harry Lennix will chair the ceremony.
Chicago native Taylor founded the Black Ensemble Theater in 1976 with a mission to eradicate racism, merging her roles as actress and educator to build awareness and foster greater understanding of the African-American contribution to the cultural fabric of American history through theater. This charge is realized through outstanding, award-winning productions that attract highly diverse racial audiences as well as effective educational outreach programming that reaches more than 10,000 youth each year.
This is an exciting time in our history, as a new building will help to facilitate the resurgence of the theater as an authentic space where a great people can exist and thrive with autonomy while tearing down barriers and building bridges through storytelling," Jackie Taylor said. "Our Board of Directors and capital campaign committee have been diligent in raising more than 80 percent of the funds needed to build the Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center and we look forward to working with our patrons, community leaders and supporters to secure the $3 million needed to complete this important project."
Says Governor Pat Quinn:
"For years, the Black Ensemble Theatre has provided artistic programming and educational outreach to help better the lives of African American Youth. The new Center will provide yet another source of activities – such as critical afterschool programs – to motivate children and teens in a positive direction."
For the past 24 years, the Black Ensemble Theater has been headquartered in Chicago's diverse Uptown community at the Uptown Center Hull House on North Beacon Street. As the theater thrived, receiving increased national acclaim and a growing fan base worldwide, a need for a stand-alone, singularly affiliated space emerged. At its new location, the Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center will be positioned to accommodate larger-scale productions, bigger audiences and a wider range of programming, and it is expected to increase the economic growth of the community, attracting more businesses, patrons and institutions to the area.
"I would like to congratulate Jackie Taylor and the Black Ensemble Theater on the ground breaking of their new facilities. For more than 30 years, the Black Ensemble Theater group has been a major contributor to Chicago's theater community and is known nationwide for their stage productions that highlight African American culture. This new expanded facility will allow the group to reach even further artistic heights while maintaining its place as a vehicle for all patrons of the arts to appreciate, understand and enjoy the African American experience," said Mayor Richard M. Daley.
"We are honored that the Black Ensemble Theater chose our community to create their permanent home and I know that they are going to see continued support from the residents of the 47th Ward," said Alderman Eugene Schulter. "I believe that the Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center is going to provide a strong foundation for the ongoing economic development of the Ravenswood neighborhood, helping to make Clark Street a viable option for new businesses. In addition, as we've seen with the other cultural centers, the construction of this facility and the programs to be offered are going to create more jobs for Chicago residents."
John Morris Architects/Planners, a renowned architect in the theater community, designed the Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center. Morris has led or been a part of design teams for high-caliber performance art buildings such as the Steppenwolf Theatre Company; Raven Theatre; Old Town School of Folk Music; Northlight Theatre; Lookingglass Theatre; and Beverly Arts Center. A mix of new and existing construction, the Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center will tout many cost- and energy-saving features through the incorporation of recycled products, regional materials, renewable resources, water-conserving plumbing technologies and a green roof featuring indigenous plants (LEED certification will be pursued and is expected to be achieved.) Furthermore, the Center is located near public transportation to promote efficient travel and promote access for all.
Said John Morris:
The new Center will provide an intimate, club-like venue with the acoustical 'chops' to handle the high-energy, R&B production numbers that accompany Black Ensemble's captivating work. The studio-caliber acoustics, perfect sightlines and full production facilities will set them apart from other venues."
The Black Ensemble Theater has been described as a local cornerstone, a national treasure and an international success. The Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center will mark a significant moment in the Black Ensemble Theater's history as well as that of American Theater. Taking its place alongside such institutions as the historic Apollo Theater in New York, Freedom Theatre in Philadelphia, Karamu House in Cleveland and The Ensemble Theater in Houston, the Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center will be the first new dedicated African American Theater to open in decades.

Lessons from F1 racing: Timely Decisions Get You on the Podium
In only a few week's time the Grand Prix of Spain will be hosted at the Circuit de Catalunya, which is just a couple of kilometres away from our conference venue. Yesterday afternoon, Marc Gallagher, Head of Cosworth's Formula 1 Business Unit, gave us some fascinating insights into the use of data analytics in Formula One (F1).
In only a few week's time the Grand Prix of Spain will be hosted at the Circuit de Catalunya, which is just a couple of kilometres away from our conference venue. Yesterday afternoon, Marc Gallagher, Head of Cosworth's Formula 1 Business Unit, gave us some fascinating insights into the use of data analytics in Formula One (F1). With more than 25 years of experience behind him, Marc Gallagher is well aware of the key issues in this high-tech sport. In his talk, he highlighted the importance of data analytics for drivers' safety. He pointed out that F1 teams worked hard at improving drivers' safety over the last two decades, which led to an increase in data volumes and raised the need for analytics. "Teams have started collecting all available data to understand what could happen in case of an accident," explained Gallagher. These insights have brought substantial security enhancement, e.g. a new way of constructing suspensions or using shock-absorbing material for driver cockpits.
Of course, the engine's reliability and performance are still as important as they used to be throughout Formula One's history. Today, teams thoroughly test several configurations, and yes, this does involve collecting huge amounts of sensor data, not just asking test drivers about their experiences. What really surprised me was the fact that there are 200 different streams of data coming from sensors within the engine (Engineers can actually monitor more than 450 data streams for real-time insights during a race). "To win in Formula One you need to have the right data at the right time", Marc said. And sometimes the most basic bits of information can be the tie-breaker. In 1999, recalled Gallagher, Jordan's Scottish bus driver read the sky correctly and predicted that the rain wouldn't stop during the race (the satellite-based forecasts were not so sure), which gave the team a tactical advantage. Driver Heinz-Harald Frentzen finished the Grand Prix of France well ahead of the competition and handed over his medal to the bearer of crucial analysis afterwards.
How To Use Data Analytics To Launch A Sustainable Technology Business
What banks could learn from F1 racing
Decisions made months or years ago can be as important as split-second reactions during a race. This is particularly true in banking, another industry subject to intense global competition. In another session, HSBC's Sharon Allsop Kenney, Senior Manager, Business Intelligence and Data Management, explained how the bank successfully implemented its risk management capability that helps to drive business value from huge amounts of diverse data. Just like Formula One teams, banks are subject to ever-changing regulations. With Basel III, standards for bank capital adequacy and liquidity are raised once again. Banks need to understand their assets as thoroughly as engineers understand the features of their engine.
It's the team that matters
Regardless of whether you want to build a sophisticated racing car or a fully-fledged data warehouse: keeping a team of several hundred people fully focussed on the goal while trying to meet all the technical, financial and operative challenges can be pretty relentless. Our second keynote speaker on Tuesday afternoon, Alain de Botton, author and philosopher, would certainly agree. In his keynote, he entertained us with his astute observations about the influence of work on our happiness. From his point of view, the best way to make sure that people do a good job is to make them like what they do. He pointed out that, from a psychological perspective, we want to help others with what do for a living. If we realize that our work actually helps colleagues or customers in any way, we most likely enjoy a fulfilling job. And it's certainly fulfilling to hear from our customers how Teradata technology helps them to do more with their data.
Do more with your time!
Time flies – and the Universe is already about to enter home stretch. Maybe and the following fine example of visualizing geospatial data will help you to make the best of the remaining time. Eric Fischer, a user of the photo-sharing site Flickr, plotted the locations where geotagged photos were taken on a map. In doing so, he distinguished between locals and tourists. Just click on Barcelona's map to check if you've visited all sightseeing highlights. Maybe this map will reveal some "secret" hot spots your city guide omits. So, one way or another, make the most of this data!

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) and although it's an American initiative, there's no reason why South African businesses can't acknowledge and adopt its practices.
NCSAM 2018 exists to remind all Internet users about the subject of online safety and the fact that it's a shared responsibility among digital citizens. NCSAM 2018 also aims to signify the importance of building a strong cybersecurity workforce.
Technological advances in Africa have provided citizens with more access to the Internet. And this brings with it an increased risk of cybercrime attacks. This makes cybersecurity a national imperative, one that can only be addressed through a coordinated and holistic approach.
Creating awareness and forcing people to act is the biggest challenge in today's society. Usually, organisations will only enforce stringent measures when they have been exposed to security problems. The earlier the education starts, the stronger the effects on a user's Internet behaviour. This month presents us with the perfect opportunity for people and businesses to learn about the tools and resources needed to stay safe online.
Identify what needs to get measured and connect the data points.
Find attack patterns or any other traffic trends that might suggest imminent risks.
Identify the greatest threats facing the organisation and integrate these insights into your incident response strategy.
Focus on the most critical areas by taking a close look at the people, processes and technology domains when performing a risk assessment.
Talk to people in your organisation who handle sensitive data, they know where the vulnerabilities lie. But don't stop there, consider hiring a third party to do an assessment of your environment.
No matter how well protected an organisation might be, you should anticipate a cyberattack at some point in the future. Draw up worst-case scenarios along with an updated incident response plan. This is essentially a strategy for assessing, managing and containing data breaches, including the steps and actions your staff, especially your response team, should take if there's a breach. This requires strategies to be implemented that will contain and remedy data breaches or to ensure you have the capability to implement these strategies as a matter of priority. The best way to defend your IT infrastructure is to implement certain cybersecurity solutions and have a dedicated team in place ensure your resilience.
None of this will be a priority if members of top management aren't on board. So their buy-in is essential. Top management needs to understand the potential range of risks that might threaten the company's reputation, finances and operational performance. The management of cyber risks should be a central component of any organisation's governance processes.
It's imperative that you secure your network with best of breed technologies and against the most critical attack vectors – Perimeter, Mail, Web, End Point, Server, Wi-Fi and the Insider Threat / Social Engineering. Hackers are constantly evolving to find new vulnerabilities to exploit. As a result, it is up to us to continuously improve and fine tune our security infrastructure to protect your network.


Happy New Year!! This post is dedicated to New Year's Eve, 2013, the future, all things great and my blindingly blinged out outfit. As always, glitter was the theme of the night and I always dress for the occasion. I hope everyone had an incredible New Year's Eve and that 2013 brings you all the best!
This is definitely one of the sparkliest NYE outfits I have ever worn, which is really saying a lot. The matte sequins almost have a liquid effect, perfectly complementing the architectural-art deco sequins pants.
Something about this outfit says 20s to me, which I absolutely love. I also had to incorporate a little ombre and different shades of gold into the look in order to really pop against the sea of sequins that is NYE.

Athlete Spotlight: Cassidy Budge
jacobhughes
On Saturday, January 27th, Mines Women's Basketball defeated Adams State 89-66, with junior Cassidy Budge becoming the 11th player in program history to score over 30 points in a game. 27 of Budge's 31 points came from three pointers. This broke the program record of most 3-pointers in a game (previously 8), and is the most 3-pointers in a single game by an RMAC player in over 8 years. Following the incredible performance, Budge was named RMAC Offensive Player of the Week.
Grade: Junior
Hometown: Falcon, Colorado
Major: Environmental Engineering
What made you choose Mines?
Budge came here on her official visit for basketball and then "absolutely fell in love with the place." She shared, "I knew engineering would be a great career path and I loved the people I met, including my teammates, to this day."
What are some challenges being a student athlete?
Budge confided that she struggled at first to balance basketball and academics at a prestigious school. "But," she said, "being a student athlete has taught me how to manage my time efficiently and stay organized." Between hours of practice a day and long weekends away at games on top of the classwork, this is no doubt important. "We must be proactive," Budge commented. "There are times where we know we may be gone for an away game and miss class," so the team has to plan ahead.
Favorite part of basketball:
While there are lots of fun aspects to being a student athlete, Budge shared that her favorite part of it all is "being a part of such an amazing team." She commented, "we are a family that goes through so much together and we always have each other's backs." On the court and off the court the camaraderie between Budge and her teammates is important when faced with such a competitive conference. Despite this challenge, Budge shared confidently, "I know I can count on all of them."
Hobbies beside athletics:
"I love to go fly fishing, hiking, or really anything outdoors," Budge shared. She also commented that whenever she is home near Colorado Springs, she will hike up the Incline a time or two with her dad. It probably helps with the endurance on the court!
The Orediggers will continue in regular season until Feb. 24, but the Orediggers' last home game this season is Saturday, Feb. 17 at 5 PM in Lockridge Arena. Come watch Budge and the rest of the team defeat New Mexico Highlands!

by Joel Webster, Special Collections Student Assistant The history of the Second World War is filled with heroes, despair, and tragedy. Much has been written on those trying times and yet there are many tales yet to be told. One is the story of Mary Catherine Lyne, a 1940 graduate of Madison College.
By Lindsey Wood, Graduate Student Now Available in Special Collections! The Audie Scott Tilghman Papers, 1925-1930. Audie Tilghman was a student here in 1926-1927, and her collection consists primarily of letters she wrote home to her family in Norfolk about her time at what was then called the State Teachers College in Harrisonburg. In light of graduation, Special Collections is publishing one of her letters, that describes how she and her friends were creating white caps for the graduation ceremony.


Wet is (1) an adjective meaning covered or soaked in liquid, and (2) a verb meaning to make wet. Whet is a verb meaning to sharpen or to stimulate. The latter has origins in Old English, where it related to sharpness and sharpening, but in modern usage it's confined almost exclusively to the phrase whet [one's] appetite. Because it's more or less forgotten outside this phrase, whet is easy to confuse with the far more common wet.
The reverse error—using whet in place of wet—is rare, but it is surprisingly common in the idiom wet [one's] whistle, which means to take a drink. Whistle here is a metonym for mouth, so the phrase literally means wet [one's] mouth, and it's easy to see how this came to mean what it does.
Please correct "palette" to "palate". It's one's tastes, not one's selection of colors.
Citing a reference, I'm sure he left the incorrect use to retain literary integrity, or for a giggle M8.
I did find that it was a reference, but I would've preferred it cleaned up. Especially on a site like this one, given its purpose.
I agree. It should have been quoted with (sic) to indicated that the error was known by the quoter.
Whistle in the sense of this idiom is not a metonym for mouth; it means precisely that–whistle. Therefore, you are doing exactly that by taking a sip of something–you are aiding your ability to whistle, or "sharpening" (and therefore, whetting) your whistle by lubricating your mouth and vocal cords, much in the same way a trumpeter keeps their mouths and throats lubricated when playing. While I use that analogy, however, bear in mind you're not aiding your ability to blow a whistle (the tin type or otherwise), so you're neither wetting nor whetting a physical whistle, you're simply making it easier to whistle loudly and clearly, hence, whet your whistle.

City youngster guilty of assault
Story from Wales Online
A promising Cardiff City midfielder knocked a woman unconscious and assaulted her friend during a night out at a popular city centre nightclub, a court has heard.
Kevin Sainte-Luce, 19, punched Anna Wadey and pushed her friend, Laura Bennett, to the ground as the pair celebrated a friend's 18th birthday at Glam Nightclub on Greyfriars Road.
The 19-year-old, who trained with Cardiff City Academy, was drinking and dancing with friends when the incident took place in the early hours of Saturday, November 3.
Rhys Thomas, prosecuting, said the girls were dancing when Sainte-Luce punched Miss Wadey "for no obvious reason".
He added she had been knocked unconscious and suffered a badly bruised jaw and cuts to her mouth.
Miss Bennett, 23, said she was determined not to let Sainte-Luce leave the club.
"I didn't want to let him get away with it," she said.
"I shouted at him 'why did you hit a girl?' but he didn't show any emotion."
She added: "When I first saw him, he looked really angry and aggressive. I felt quite scared. He took a step back and lunged at me. His fists were clenched and he shoved me with both hands."
Geraint Richards, defending, said the footballer had acted in self-defence.
Speaking with the help of an interpreter, the 19-year-old said: "She was right in my face and she was shouting and swearing at me. She was provoking me and I just wanted her to go away."
He added Miss Bennett had stumbled because she was tipsy and wearing high heels.
Miss Bennett denied the accusation, saying: "I was mildly tipsy, but I did not fall over. I do not remember swearing at him."
District Judge Bodfan Jenkins said: "It seems to me these were the actions of a courageous and determined young woman. She felt intimidated, but she still took on the role of ensuring he did not escape without sanction. She acted in a spirit of friendship."
He added he did not believe Saint-Luce had acted in self-defence.
"I do not find that Miss Bennett acted in the banshee-like way described by the defence," he said.
"His evidence does not show a real fear of attack."
Sainte-Luce, of Fairwater Grove East, was arrested on November 10, after handing himself into the police.
He pleaded guilty to assaulting Anna Wadey on November 27, but denied assaulting Laura Bennett. He was found guilty of assaulting Miss Bennett and will be sentenced at Cardiff Magistrates' Court on January 15.

Later, after the stock market's latest plunge, Obama issued a statement calling on the Treasury to implement the $700 billion financial rescue package as quickly as possible.
"While we face a very serious challenge, now is not the time for fear or panic, but for all of us to come together with resolve and determination that we can steer ourselves out of this crisis and restore confidence in the American economy," Obama's statement said.
McCain, campaigning in Wisconsin, defended his mortgage plan. He also continued to argue that voters should be afraid of Obama because he previously was involved in two mainstream charitable organizations with, and in the 1990s attended a candidate event at the home of, a Chicago professor who in the 1960s had been an activist in a violent Vietnam-era protest group.
Outspent by Obama on TV ads, McCain launched a new Web ad about his opponent's connections to Bill Ayers, the Chicago professor, in which the announcer describes Ayers as a "domestic terrorist" and concludes, "Barack Obama: Too risky for America."
McCain told the Wisconsin crowd, "Look, we don't care about a washed-up terrorist and his wife who still, after Sept. 11, 2001, said he still wanted to bomb more. But that's not the point here. The point is Sen. Obama said he was just a guy in the neighborhood. We know that's not true, we need to know the full extent of the relationship, because of whether Sen. Obama is telling the truth to the American people or not."
Obama has condemned the violent 1960s activities of the Weather Underground. There is no evidence that Ayers is a close friend or an adviser to his campaign.
Later, Obama's campaign issued a statement in reaction to McCain's attacks.
"It's now clear that John McCain would rather launch angry, personal attacks than talk about the economy or defend his risky bailout scheme that hands over billions in taxpayer dollars to the same irresponsible Wall Street banks and lenders that got us into this mess — a scheme that guarantees taxpayers will lose money," said Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor.
Several McCain supporters at a town-hall meeting he attended with running mate Sarah Palin in Waukesha, Wis., vented their anger toward Obama.
"It's not the economy," one elderly man told McCain and Palin. "It's the socialists takin' over our country ... It's time that you two are representing us, and we are mad."
One unidentified middle-aged man told McCain, "We're all wondering why Obama is where's he's at, how he got there, I mean everybody in this is stunned that we're in this position. We're all products of our association. Is there not a way to get around this media and line up?"
Addressing a crowd in Dayton, Obama urged voters to see McCain's character attacks on him in the context of McCain being a candidate who's worried that he's going to lose.
"Is this going to be a time when we turn on each other, call each other names, or accuse each other of being unpatriotic?" he said. "Or will they say this was one of those moments when America overcame?
"Believe in yourselves," Obama told supporters. "Now it falls to us."
Obama said that the mortgage proposal McCain raised during their televised national debate on Tuesday initially appeared to involve banks selling bad mortgages to the federal government at a discount to help homeowners, and that this was something Obama and other lawmakers of both parties also supported.
However, Obama said, the details McCain fleshed out Wednesday suggested that, "he'd changed his mind and was proposing to bail out banks and lenders with taxpayer money."
"Banks wouldn't take a loss, but taxpayers would take a loss," Obama said. Obama called it "just the latest in a series of shifting positions" by McCain. "This is the kind of erratic behavior we've been seeing out of Sen. McCain. I don't think we can afford that kind of erratic and uncertain leadership in these uncertain times."
Aaron and Julie Render, Obama supporters who attended the Dayton rally, said they didn't really understand McCain's proposal before, but that they trusted Obama's criticism of it.
"Obama's the one who told us what was going on," said Aaron Render. "He explained it in simple words." The Renders, both in their 50s, said they'd both lost their jobs in the bad economy and have had to move into Julie's mother's house.
Several Ohio cities are struggling with high foreclosure rates. If undecided voters are as swayed by Obama's arguments as the Renders, it could spell trouble for McCain.

MIDI
====

A basic library for reading and writing MIDI data.

This is my first major Julia project, and is likely not idiomatic. It's also probably quite buggy. Pull requests and suggestions are more than welcome. If you feel the API is clumsy or incomplete, please create a feature request.

MIDI: The least you need to know
================================

A MIDI file typically comes in pieces called tracks that play simultaneously. Each track can have 16 different channels, numbered 0-15. Each channel can be thought of as a single instrument, though that instrument can be changed throughout that track. A track contains events. The three types of events are MIDI events, meta events, and system exclusive (SYSEX) events.

All events begin with the time since the last event (dT) in ticks. The number of ticks per beat is given by the timedivision of the file. To make manipulating events easier, there's an `addevent(track::MIDITrack, time::Integer, newevent::TrackEvent)` function specified that lets you specify absolute time (in ticks).

MIDI events handle things related to the sound, such as playing a note or moving the pitchwheel. There are constants in constants.jl to assist in creating these.

Meta events take care of things like adding copyright text or authorship information.

Sysex events are used to transmit arbitrary data. Their contents depend on the intended recipient.

Usage
=====

Opening and writing a MIDI file:
--------------------------------

```
MIDIfile = readMIDIfile("test.mid")
writeMIDIfile("filename.mid", MIDIfile)
```

Creating a new file with arbitrary notes
----------------------------------------

```
# Arguments are pitch, duration (in ticks), position in track (in ticks), and velocity (0-127)
C = MIDI.Note(60, 96, 0, 0)
E = MIDI.Note(64, 96, 48, 0)
G = MIDI.Note(67, 96, 96, 0)

inc = 96
file = MIDI.MIDIFile()
track = MIDI.MIDITrack()
notes = MIDI.Note[]
i = 0
for v in values(MIDI.GM) # GM is a map of all the general MIDI instrument names and their codes
    push!(notes, C)
    push!(notes, E)
    push!(notes, G)
    # This changes the instrument currently used
    MIDI.programchange(track, G.position + inc + inc, uint8(0), v)
    C.position += inc
    E.position += inc
    G.position += inc
    C = MIDI.Note(60, 96, C.position+inc, 0)
    E = MIDI.Note(64, 96, E.position+inc, 0)
    G = MIDI.Note(67, 96, G.position+inc, 0)
    i += 1
end

MIDI.addnotes(track, notes)
push!(file.tracks, track)
MIDI.writeMIDIfile("test_out.mid", file)
```

Data structures and functions you should know
=============================================

```
type MIDIFile
    format::UInt16 # The format of the file. Can be 0, 1 or 2
    timedivision::Int16 # The time division of the track in ticks per beat.
    tracks::Array{MIDITrack, 1}

    MIDIFile() = new(0,96,MIDITrack[])
end
```

`function readMIDIfile(filename::AbstractString)` Reads a file into a MIDIFile data type

`function writeMIDIfile(filename::AbstractString, data::MIDIFile)` Writes a MIDI file to the given filename

```
type MIDITrack
    events::Array{TrackEvent, 1}

    MIDITrack() = new(TrackEvent[])
    MIDITrack(events) = new(events)
end
```

`function addnote(track::MIDITrack, note::Note)` Adds a note to a track

`function addnotes(track::MIDITrack, notes::Array{Note, 1})` Adds a series of notes to a track

`function getnotes(track::MIDITrack)` Gets all of the notes on a track

`function programchange(track::MIDITrack, time::Integer, channel::UInt8, program::UInt8)` Change the program (instrument) on the given channel. Time is absolute, not relative to the last event.

```
type Note
    value::UInt8
    duration::UInt64
    position::UInt64
    channel::UInt8
    velocity::UInt8

    Note(value, duration, position, channel, velocity=0x7F)
end
```

Value is a number indicating pitch class & octave (middle-C is 60). Position is an absolute time (in ticks) within the track. Please note that velocity cannot be higher than 127 (0x7F). Integers can be added to, or subtracted from notes to change the pitch, and notes can be directly compared with ==. Constants exist for the different pitch values at octave 0. MIDI.C, MIDI.Cs, MIDI.Db, etc. Enharmonic note constants exist as well (MIDI.Fb). Just add 12*n to the note to transpose to octave n.

```
type MIDIEvent <: TrackEvent
    dT::Int
    status::UInt8
    data::Array{UInt8,1}
end

type MetaEvent <: TrackEvent
    dT::Int
    metatype::UInt8
    data::Array{UInt8,1}
end

type SysexEvent <: TrackEvent
    dT::Int
    data::Array{UInt8,1}
end
```

If you want to do more than just add notes to a track and change the program, you'll need to create the events yourself.\\ Generally, you won't want to set dT yourself. Just use `function addevent(track::MIDITrack, time::Integer, newevent::TrackEvent)` instead, and give it an absolute time within the track.

Some constants for MIDI events and program changes have been provided in constants.jl. Have fun!

Watch Out for This Ripple Crypto, a Possible Hot Rival to Bitcoin And Ethereum
Just when you think you're getting the hang of understanding cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin...
Tanzeel Akhtar
Updated Aug 18, 2017 8:18 AM EDT
Just when you think you're getting the hang of understanding cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, another disruptive currency enters the arena.
Let us introduce you to 'Ripple" [XRP] crypto! Ripple is the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, after Bitcoin and Ethereum. It's the latest craze according to some market players.
Dan Doney, CEO of Securrency, explains that Ripple seeks to revolutionize financial services while Bitcoin and Ethereum seek to displace them.
According to reports, it is estimated Ripple owns about 61% (or $16 billion) of XRP. It seems Ripple is still in its very early days but should not be disregarded, because it has billions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency on its balance sheet.
Ripple still remains mysterious though ...

"As the third largest digital currency by market cap, Ripple remains a mystery to many despite being older and arguably more suited for many financial transactions than its siblings," Doney said. "Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple all use distributed ledgers to transmit value providing security, transparency, immutability and clearing of transactions without intermediaries. But the similarities end there."
"Payment systems today are where email was in the early '80s," Ripple's chief cryptographer, David Schwartz, has been quoted saying. "Every provider built their own system for their customers, and if people used different systems, they couldn't easily interact with each other. Ripple is designed to connect different payment systems together."
Schwartz is also anticipating the possibility of seeing "big companies lose their control over the flow of other people's money just as they've lost control over the flow of information."
Doney goes on to explain one important distinguishing fact is that Bitcoin and Ethereum use mining to seal a block of transactions while Ripple uses a different model.
Bling bling.
"Mining is a cryptographic process used to both secure the network and ensure equitable access to the creation of new value on the network," Doney said. "While brilliant in design, Bitcoin and Etherem mining is an ecological disaster: consuming more power than the nation of Iceland at nearly 20TWh/yr, carrying an expensive per transaction price, clearing slowly (~minutes); and supporting limited transaction volume (~400,000/day)."
He goes on to explain that without significant reform, these models can't sustain the volume needed to support global payments.
"On the other hand, Ripple's consensus model is fast -- clearing times ~2 seconds -- consumes negligible power and scales," Doney added. "Purists criticize Ripple as the model has certain features, such as the ability to freeze an issuance (coin), that confer centralization."
These features provide a mechanism to enforce regulations and gain the efficiency and reach of these new models - the best of both worlds.
