Canada vs the world…debt level comparison study.
Hey, here's an interesting stat that should make us Canadians feel good…. Our Federal govt keeps telling us to slow our personal debt levels… maybe they should start balancing their own books… I remember when, in 1997, the Feds actually balanced the budget and even made a surplus. Remember that? In fact, from 1997 to 2008, the Feds reduced our national debt from $563billion to $458billion. We seemed to be heading in the right direction.
Then the U.S. sub-prime mortgage crisis hit and the Feds starting spending in an attempt to avoid a major recession. So far, it's worked. Our economy has performed pretty well when compared with most other countries. But our National Debt level has now surpassed the $600billion mark for the first time ever. How concerned should we really be? Is our national debt level really that high? I decided to compare out debt with a handful of other countries to see how we stacked up….


Named for the Acanthophis hawkei, a deadly Australian adder, the Thales Hawkei is a compact, light-armored, 7-ton vehicle with quick-change customizable armor and an IED blast-resistant hull. It may replace the Aussie Defense Force's aging fleet of Land Rovers.
Thales has unveiled the design of its groundbreaking next generation Protected Mobility Vehicle – the Hawkei.
At a time of increasing global demand for lighter protected vehicles, Thales has built on its significant experience with the Australian Bushmaster program to design this next generation vehicle.
The 4x4, 6-crew, 7-tonne Hawkei provides unparalleled situational awareness, lethality and survivability for a vehicle its size.
Following the tradition of the Bushmaster, which is named after a deadly pit viper, the new addition is named after a stealthy species of Death Adder – Acanthophis hawkei – which is native to Australia.
"Like its exceptionally venomous namesake, this vehicle packs a punch," said Chris Jenkins, Managing Director of Thales Australia.
"It is mobile, versatile, and above all well-protected. It incorporates high levels of blast and ballistic protection in a light, highly manoeuvrable and readily air transportable vehicle that has been engineered for peak performance."
The new ground-breaking design meets emerging performance and capability requirements, including systems that allow the Hawkei to become a fully integrated node on the network centric battlefield. The Hawkei is designed to accommodate the future system demands of adaptive campaigning, with C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence) capabilities as fundamental part of its DNA.
A systems approach to vehicle protection includes high levels of mine blast protection integrated into the Hawkei's hull design, while its adaptable ballistic protection technology is designed to be easily removed for air transportation and then refitted by a two-person crew in less than 30 minutes without using specialised equipment. This innovative design allows the Hawkei to be operated in full protection configuration that can then be reconfigured and upgraded for specific mission threats.
The Hawkei has been developed by Thales in Bendigo, in the state of Victoria – home of the Bushmaster. Drawing on both international and local expertise provided by Boeing, PAC Group or Plasan, and numerous Australian Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), the vehicle's design incorporates world-leading innovative technologies.
Mr Jenkins added that: "The Hawkei launch represented more than just an exciting chapter in Australia's defence capability."
"The Hawkei not only meets Australian needs, but also the operational priorities of other nations. It is a next generation solution underpinned by battle proven experience from Bushmaster. We are confident the Hawkei will establish the new benchmark in Light Protected Vehicles, rendering obsolete the technology used in competing vehicles."
The Hawkei is currently being submitted for the Australian Department of Defence's LAND 121 Phase 4 program, which will provide a Light Protected Vehicle to replace the Australian Army's Landrover fleet.

Oklahoma murder case to be featured on true-crime television show
Posted 8:07 am, October 24, 2019, by K. Butcher
ATOKA, Okla. (KXII) – An Oklahoma double murder case will be in the national spotlight Thursday night when it's featured on a true-crime show.
Oxygen is highlighting convicted killer Jesse Cummings' case on an episode of 'Killer Couples.'
According to KXII, in 1991, the Atoka County Sheriff's Office took a missing person's report for a mother and daughter, Judy Mayo and 11-year-old Melissa Moody.
Mayo's body was found in a lake, and about a month later, Moody's body was found near a bridge in Choctaw County.
Former Atoka County Sheriff Gary McCool says Mayo's brother, Cummings, was a suspect from the beginning after one of Cummings' wives told investigators he may have been the murderer.
In 1996, Cummings was convicted of stabbing Moody, and sentenced to death in 2008 by lethal injection.
The episode featuring Cummings' case airs on the Oxygen Network Thursday at 7 p.m.

Q: Segmenting a data frame by row based on previous rows values I have a data frame in R that contains 2 columns named x and y (co-ordinates). The data frame represents a journey with each line representing the position at the next point in time.
      x     y seconds
1   0.0   0.0       0
2  -5.8  -8.5       1
3 -11.6 -18.2       2
4 -16.9 -30.1       3
5 -22.8 -40.8       4
6 -29.0 -51.6       5

I need to break the journey up into segments where each segment starts once the distance from the start of the previous segment crosses a certain threshold (e.g. 200).
I have recently switched from using SAS to R, and this is the first time I've come across anything I can do easily in SAS but can't even think of the way to approach the problem in R.
I've posted the SAS code I would use below to do the same job. It creates a new column called segment.
%let cutoff=200;
data segments;
set journey;
retain segment distance x_start y_start;
if _n_=1 then do;
  x_start=x;
  y_start=y;
  segment=1;
  distance=0;
end;
distance + sqrt((x-x_start)**2+(y-y_start)**2);
if distance>&cutoff then do;
  x_start=x;
  y_start=y;
  segment+1;
  distance=0;
end;
keep x y seconds segment;
run;

Edit: Example output
If the cutoff were 200 then an example of required output would look something like...
      x     y seconds segment
1   0.0   0.0       0       1
2  40.0  30.0       1       1
3  80.0  60.0       2       1
4 120.0  90.0       3       1
5 160.0 120.0       4       2
6 120.0 150.0       5       2
7  80.0 180.0       6       2
8  40.0 210.0       7       2
9   0.0 240.0       8       3

A: If your data set is dd, something like
cutoff <- 200
origin <- dd[1,c("x","y")]
cur.seg <- 1
dd$segment <- NA
for (i in 1:nrow(dd)) {
   dist <- sqrt(sum((dd[i,c("x","y")]-origin)^2))
   if (dist>cutoff) {
      cur.seg <- cur.seg+1
      origin <- dd[i,c("x","y")]
   }
   dd$segment[i] <- cur.seg
}

should work.  There are some refinements (it might be more efficient to compute distances of the current origin to all rows, then use which(dist>cutoff)[1] to jump to the first row that goes beyond the cutoff), and it would be interesting to try to come up with a completely vectorized solution, but this should be OK.  How big is your data set?

Blizzard announces exit from China, suspension of nearly all game services there
Blizzard Entertainment revealed that it will be pulling almost all of its live games from the Chinese market when its current agreement with NetEase expires there.
Written by Michael Gariffo, Staff Writer on Nov. 17, 2022
A representation of the emotions many Blizzard fans in China are likely expressing today, as portrayed by Overwatch's Hammond (Wrecking Ball).
Blizzard Entertainment, part of Activision Blizzard, announced that it will be "suspending most Blizzard game services in mainland China due to the expiration of the current licensing agreements with NetEase." The termination of live services is set for January 23, 2023.
The best gaming chairs: A tier above the rest
These chairs will add support, comfort, and style to your gaming setup.
Blizzard had partnered with the Chinese company since 2008 on the publication and management of its games in the nation. The deal helped assure that the US-based publisher didn't run afoul of China's strict content guidelines and rules.
Partnerships like this are common in the gaming industry. Riot Games, for example, had a similar agreement with Chinese gaming company Tencent to help it distribute League of Legends there, before Tencent went on to acquire Riot in 2015.
According to Blizzard, when the current agreement expires, nearly every live game it operates will be going offline in China, including World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Warcraft III: Reforged, Overwatch, the StarCraft series, Diablo III, and Heroes of the Storm. The only exception will be mobile game Diablo Immortal, which will continue operating under a separate agreement, NetEase said.
Not only does this announcement obviously have major ramifications for the millions of people currently playing the aforementioned Blizzard games in China, but the fallout from this breakup could also impact major Blizzard ventures like the Overwatch League, which currently has one fifth of its teams based in China.
How this will impact Microsoft's ongoing efforts to acquire Activision Blizzard also remains to be seen.
Blizzard has been vague on the specifics of how it will sunset operations in China, saying only that it will "suspend new sales in the coming days and Chinese players will be receiving details of how this will work soon." The company did note that new releases scheduled for later this year, including World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, Hearthstone: March of the Lich King, and season 2 of Overwatch 2 will still go forward in China.
Although players that already purchased those releases won't have long to enjoy them before the looming January 23, 2023 shutdown date, Blizzard did promise that it is "looking for alternatives to bring our games back to players in the future," meaning it does expect to return to China, eventually.

Neither company provided much detail on why negotiations fell apart. Blizzard only said it had failed to reach an agreement "that is consistent with Blizzard's operating principles," while NetEase cited "material difference on key terms" as the culprit.
However, Simon Zhu, President of Global Investment and Partnership at NetEase, published a LinkedIn post stating "One day, when what has happened behind the scene could be told, developers and gamers will have a whole new level understanding of how much damage a jerk can make...Feel terrible for players who lived in those worlds."
It would appear, at least in this exec's opinion, that there was much more tension behind the scenes that the corporate boilerplate of each company's respective announcements suggest.

Barbie is getting married and she has decided on a Victorian themed wedding. She is very aware of the fact that in those times, brides didn't always wore white dresses. So she could wear a blue wedding gown, which means that her love for her groom is true. She can have puff sleeves with a small bow, some yellow in the front of her corset with flower prints and her skirt with a bright pink on the underneath layer. Another great color to wear in Victorian times was pink, because it meant that her groom will always think of her. So she can wear a white and pink wedding gown with lots of ruffles on the skirt and roses with diamonds in the middle applies all over it. For her flower bouquet, she wants to choose roses, falling in cascade. Complete her look with a big hair piece. Have a lot of fun playing this game!

On the Case: Baldvin Z on his new Icelandic drama

To catch a killer
Scaling The Serpent
Centre Staged
By Michael Pickard
Icelandic director Baldvin Z tells Michael Pickard how he used music to piece together new crime drama Case and reveals how the script tempted him to venture into TV.
When it comes to making television drama, music is usually one of the final elements brought to the process, deep into post-production.
But for new Icelandic crime drama Case, it was used to set the atmosphere for the series and help the cast understand the characters they were playing.
The idea came from the show's director Baldvin Z (aka Baldvin Zophoníasson), who had previously used the technique on the set of his film Life in a Fishbowl.
Baldvin Z on set shooting Case
"We started working with the music way before shooting," he tells DQ. "I presented the idea and how I wanted to approach the project, and I started to make some music that I used to get people on board with the atmosphere and to show them the kind of TV show we were going to make. It helps a lot.
"In the shooting and rehearsals, sometimes I would put the music on to help the actors imagine where they were and what would be playing on the show at that moment. I use music a lot. I'm hands-on all the way. After we have shot something, I'm there all the way to the end. But I allow everybody to bring their heart into it. I want everybody to participate and put everything into it."
A spin-off from legal series Réttur (The Court), Case opens with the apparent suicide of a promising young ballerina, and follows the battle between her biological parents and her foster parents to uncover the truth behind her death – with everything seen through the eyes of the lawyers involved.
The nine-part drama, produced by Sagafilm and helmed entirely by Z, is due to premiere in mid-October on Iceland's Channel 2.
With his background in feature films, the director had never considered a television crime drama – until he read Case's script. "This is something I couldn't imagine myself doing two years ago," he says. "I don't really watch much crime drama. I'd always told myself I wouldn't do a TV series like this, and now I've directed Case.
"I received scripts for three episodes about two years ago. I read them and I was really drawn to the show. It's about teenagers and a situation that's going on in Iceland's underworld. I also saw it as a crime story but with a big drama in it. That was something that appealed to me – it was more about the drama than the crime. It's not a typical crime drama – it's not a 'whodunnit.' It's about the 'why,' so it has a lot of unusual twists and it takes you to different places compared with other crime shows.
Case focuses on the death of a ballerina, following the fallout through the eyes of lawyers
The slow-paced nature of the series has led to comparisons to fellow Scandinavian series Forbrydelsen (The Killing), and Z says Case sits comfortably alongside other Nordic noir shows.
"It's much more about the characters than the actual events," he explains. "It starts with this girl who is found hanged but the case is much bigger than that, and that's what's interesting. You get to follow these characters and when we reveal the 'monster' in the middle of the series, it takes you on a new adventure that is really exciting. I'm looking forward to seeing reactions to that."
On set, Z says he's keen to work with the actors as much as possible to make the story as realistic as he can: "I really work a lot with the actors and try to take them to the next level, and I want them to take me to the next level with them. I wanted to have believable characters and make it as realistic as possible. I didn't want to drive a scene to the edge because it had to be really exciting – I'm always trying to find the truth in everything. And if I succeed in that, the rest comes with it. It's exciting because the suspense comes naturally. You don't want to force it into the scenes.
"It's been really interesting to go into this drama. I have approached it like I do for everything – it's a drama with storytelling and characters. I'm not making a crime series, I'm making a drama with crime in it and that takes it to another level."
Z notes that the time and space Scandinavian dramas allow for character development contrasts with faster-paced series, particularly those produced in the US. "The difference compared with US shows is you have this opportunity to realise that all the characters are made of flesh and bone and you breathe with them. You see them making decisions. You see something more than in American shows, where everything's so pacy and everyone's so witty and clever.
The nine-part drama begins this month
"The characters in Case are broken. They always make the wrong decision – they're so imperfect and that is what makes it interesting. The cops are not cool, they are just people. They're getting into situations they've never been in before and they don't know what to do. Iceland doesn't have the biggest underworld scene so I have to make it realistic for Icelandic people, and I think it will be interesting for foreigners to see it."
Z says the first season's conclusion leaves room for a second run and that he is now keen to work more in television. He has also directed three episodes of Trapped, another Icelandic drama from director Baltasar Kormákur and produced by RVK Studios and Dynamic Television. The Weinstein Company has picked up US rights to the show, which will air domestically on RUV and centres on a troubled cop investigating a murder when his small town is hit by a blizzard.
The BBC, ZDF and France Televisions have also picked up the series.
"It's a very young industry in Iceland, we're in the teenage phase," says Z. "For the first time we're really emerging onto the scene and we have quality stuff – equal to other content being produced in Scandinavia and Europe.
"We've been bringing a lot of foreign projects to Iceland and we've been learning from them. Our directors are getting better and better and there are so many young people doing incredible things. There's something about our landscapes, animals and behaviour that appeals to foreigners but we are increasingly telling our own stories.
"I hope we will not quit doing our Icelandic content but we have to blend in with the universal and contemporary programming. We're going to get bigger and bigger over the next few years. We have a lot to stay."

We all know that ski gear ain't cheap. If you have to have the latest and greatest, then sure, there's no denying that's true. But there are definitely ways to save, and one of the best is buying second-hand at ski swaps. Swaps are a great way to enjoy new-to-you gear without doing too much damage to your wallet.
Which Multi-Resort Season Pass Should You Choose?
Getting a season pass used to be fairly simple. You decided which mountain you'd ski the most, handed over your credit card, and that was that. Easy peasy. Lately it's become a lot more complicated.

Contents have an amazing effect on your potential buyers. Now, popular brands understand the importance of great content. They are trying their best to deliver quality pieces of contents to increase the number of visitors. Many new brands face challenges while creating content. However, this is not so hard. You just need to focus more on effective content creation to stand out from the crowd.
Many companies are publishing blog posts on a daily basis to answer the queries of their buyers. But they do not focus on the digital marketing strategy to secure their place on top search machines. Content marketing and promotion strategies are correlated. Even if you write the best contents, you cannot reach your buyers without promoting them in the best possible manner. You can get content ideas on the internet. Also, you can research your industry to understand different aspects of content development. If you want better content management, you can go through the followings.
Content is what? Content is the medium to reach your buyers and to influence their buying decision. Therefore, your content should address the curiosity of your target audience. You can educate them about your brand and can even make it more personalized by sharing your personal information. Once you develop this mindset, it will be easier for you to write quality contents.
As mentioned earlier, only powerful contents cannot make you reach your customers. How will they know about the new posts? Here, content remarking comes. While posting your quality contents, you can tag your regular visitors. They will visit and share your content if they find it useful. This is called content remarketing. It will bring your regular visitors to read your new posts. With more sharing, you can get more visitors.
You need to focus on some effective keywords for your content. You should know that which keywords can help your contents to come on search machines. If you choose the right keywords, you can get the desired internet traffic and high ranking. Therefore, it is important to find your targeted keywords and then you should write the contents evolving around the keywords.
You should not rely on the assumptions on what different types of content work. Instead, you should focus more on the proven methods to ensure the best outcome. If you are doubtful about the quality of the type of your content, you can take the help of RapidEssay. This website offers content writing help. They can test your essays and help you to improve your contents. You will get a free revision, free title, free formatting, and a lot of other services. They have the team of experienced writers to enable you to deliver quality contents.
You should know your target. You should not write for all. For example, if you are selling beauty products, then you should target the one they are using beauty products. Your target will be young and college going girls. These girls are well-informed. You should understand their curiosity and concerns and then write accordingly. If you are selling anti-aging products, then you should focus more on the thirty and above people. These people are result-oriented. They will prefer the data supported by the result. Similarly, you can write the contents depending on the demands of your targets.
Before writing the content, you should understand two important aspects. These are the audience and what you want to express. You should never create the contents in the sake of creating contents. Instead, make sure that it reflects your brand goals. You should always focus on the outcome that you want. To decide your goal, you can go through the followings.
• Do you want to create brand awareness?
• Do you want to implement a proven strategy?
• Do you want to impress the existing customers?
• Do you want to get more customers?
• Do you want to convert your visitors into buyers?
You need to understand your goals to create the contents accordingly. In addition, you will have to define your mission statement such as what you are going to deliver and what benefits your customer will get. You need to be more specific in your mission statement to win the trust your visitors.
A proper and proven strategy is the first requirement to make your site to come on the first pages of search engines. You should ensure that every piece of your content is optimized for the search machines. If you do not do so, search machines will have difficulties to find the contents. If your contents do not reach the search machines, then how will it reach your buyers? Effective optimization is one of the key requirements to get the desired exposure for your contents.
Also Checkout Is Vaping Healthy? and it's side-effects on the body.
This topic is debated. We all want to create valuable contents. But what is valuable content? Valuable content is the one that addresses the questions of your buyers and helps to create a brand identity. Valuable contents are also simple contents. While writing contents, you can take the help of Google Doc to get flawless and error-free contents. The readers will not prefer complex and hard to digest contents. Valuable contents will help you to build loyal customers. You can focus on the followings to enrich your contents.
Good content has positive impacts. People like original and quality contents. But these are not enough to create your brand identity. If you support your contents with facts, people will certainly find it worth visiting. By using correct facts, you can attract anyone. Therefore, it is important to back up the contents with correct facts. In addition, you need to give credit to the websites from where you have taken the facts.

Barr Says Those Who Don't Show More Respect To Cops May Not Get Police Protection
Another day, another nazi. Black people are insufficiently grateful for the opportunity to provide target practice to racist cops. But Barr's remarks are going over just fine with the owners.
William Barr Says Those Who Don't Show More Respect To Cops May Not Get Police Protection
Sanjana Karanth
U.S. Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday that if some communities don't begin showing more respect to law enforcement, then they could potentially not be protected by police officers.
The country's top cop made the questionable remarks while giving a speech at the Attorney General's Award for Distinguished Service in Policing.
"But I think today, American people have to focus on something else, which is the sacrifice and the service that is given by our law enforcement officers," Barr said. "And they have to start showing, more than they do, the respect and support that law enforcement deserves ― and if communities don't give that support and respect, they might find themselves without the police protection they need."
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to HuffPost's request for clarification on who specifically Barr was referring to when he mentioned "communities" and what he meant by people finding themselves without police protection.
But American Bridge, a liberal super PAC that first flagged the comments, said the attorney general was referring to communities of color that have historically had a contentious relationship with law enforcement due to police brutality, mass incarceration and racial profiling.
"The Attorney General isn't being subtle and that shouldn't surprise us considering this administration's record," American Bridge spokesperson Jeb Fain told HuffPost in a statement. "When it comes to communities of color, he sees justice and equal protection under the law as subject to conditions.
"Barr's words are as revealing as they are disturbing ― flagrantly dismissive of the rights of Americans of color, disrespectful to countless law enforcement officers who work hard to serve their communities, and full of a continuing disregard for the rule of law."
The attorney general has proved before that he does not support the more humane criminal justice reform that's coming to states, counties and local jurisdictions across the country. Since taking over as attorney general in February, Barr has maintained the "tough on crime" approach that President Donald Trump has adopted.
In August, Barr told the Fraternal Order of Police ― the country's largest police organization ― that there should be "zero tolerance for resisting police." The attorney general gave an emotionally charged speech going after local prosecutors he accused of making police officers' jobs more difficult because of their more progressive approaches to criminal cases.

AUDUSD has been travelling in a horizontal channel for quite some time now. we recently saw price plummet to the bottom of the channel, however we have now seen price climb up and also break a descending trendline to the upside, our final target for this long trade is the top of the channel as shown on the chart above. enjoy your profits on this trade !!!!
AUDUSD possible long set up!!
Hi folks, AUDUSD is creating a nice flagged pattern on the 4h chart and about to come to an end of this pattern. Usually when this is the case we see trend reversal. It is also in a level where price has reacted on a number of occasions in the past. I will be looking to go long from here. Trade safe and good luck.
AUDUSD BUY FROM A CLEAR REVERSAL ON THE TREND LINE.
AUDUSD- Is the short finally coming?
Price is trading within a descending wedge pattern & has recently touched the bottom level with halted bearish momentum. This provides us with a long trade opportunity with exceptional risk/reward ratio. Make sure to manage risk appropriately when trading.
Despite monthly and weekly being a bearish trend, daily and 4h is bullish. TP region should be somewhere between 0.72050 & 0.72106.
Classic pullback to structure! ABCD pattern at play!
The Australian dollar is a known proxy for copper, so the recent rally may be a leader for a rally in the currency.
We are currently awaiting the signal to buy on AUDUSD - Set an order at 071616. We are expecting a pullback into the area, this will create a double bottom, we will be aiming for TP2. Wait for confirmation before buying into this trade.
AUDUSD Buy to Sell later.
Looking for AU to pull back and trigger the buy limit. If the price does not break previous days low we can see the pair rally to the highlighted resistance. Once price has tested the resistance wait for a reversal candle to enter short trade.
Indecision is forming, if the next candles goes above previous high of previous candle could be a good sign a reversal is on.

How To Adapt Japanese Pop Culture And Impress Americans
by Graeme McMillan
in Comics, Comic News, Movies, Movie News, TV, TV News
The key things to remember when translating a Japanese property to the US? Make sure there's a story... and everything you know is probably wrong. It's not just my opinion, but the consensus of those with experience in Transformers, The Ring and manga publishing.
The Hollywood Reporter attended a fascinating panel at the American Film Market last week, where Transformers producer Don Murphy, The Ring and The Grudge remake producer Roy Lee and Viz Media's Jason Hoffs discussed their experiences in bringing Japanese culture to America. Here are their three main takeaways:
Have Patience (1)One difference between US and Japanese corporate cultures is the amount of time it can take to get a decision, according to Lee: "The biggest Hollywood studio complaint is that these things can take one to two years and have to go through multiple committees in Japan." He went on to say that, with the way Hollywood works, it's not uncommon for US executives behind the origin of a project to no longer be in the same position once the Japanese executives have given it the greenlight.
Make Sure There's Something For Audiences To Connect ToAs Murphy told the audience, "If it's just a movie based on a toy, you could end up with something like the Stretch Armstrong movie." The success of something like Transformers, he suggested, had more to do with the animated series and comic mythology than the toys themselves. It's something that Hoffs agreed with, saying "Because of a manga's weekly installments and their episodic form, there's usually a powerful bond between the readers and the characters."
Have Patience (2)Make sure everyone's on the same page, warned Murphy, talking about a frustrating experience where a protracted deal process ended with the deal falling apart: "Yes means no and no means no and sometimes maybe means no, too. It's very polite but sometimes you just need an answer. Make sure the content holder actually wants to sell." Hoffs expanded on the theme, adding, "Often most rights land with the manga creator. The devil's in the details and it's important to find out what's most important to the content owner – loyalty to the original, or money."
With the exception of, perhaps, the corporate culture clash, I can't help but feel as if these points shouldn't just be applied to licensing Japanese properties, but any property... Especially that one about making sure that there's a story there (Something that I wish the makers of the Battleship movie had thought about before getting started on that one. Alien invasion, my "you sunk my battleship" behind...). Maybe there needs to be more panels about just making good movies in any culture, to get this idea out...

Assault: It's easier to cross that line than you probably think
Most people probably don't really understand what it takes to be charged with the crime of assault.
When people talk about being assaulted, they generally mean that they've been physically violated in some way — whether it was a punch to the face or a type of sexual contact. Under the law, however, unwanted physical contact is considered "battery," not assault.
What is assault?
Assault is an act that purposefully makes another person afraid for his or her immediate physical safety.
That's why so many people don't realize how easy it is to cross the line into assault — they think that just scaring someone or issuing a threat isn't really a legal offense because they didn't act on that threat. As a result, they end up surprised when the police snap the cuffs on their wrists.
What are some important considerations?
There are some important considerations when it comes to the charge of criminal assault — all of which provide avenues for a possible defense.
For example, it's almost impossible to commit assault through words alone. In order to rise to the level of assault, a threat has to create the fear of an immediate physical danger. So, someone who says, "I'm going to get you," isn't guilty of assault. There's no immediate danger.
On the other hand, if someone says, "I'm going to get you," and raises a balled up fist as if to strike — that's assault — as long as he or she is actually within striking range. If the person issuing the threat and raising his or her fist is shouting from across a room full of people, it's hard to say that there was an immediate or imminent threat of harm.
There also has to be actual intent behind the action that caused the victim to feel assaulted.
For example, if someone holds up a loaded gun and points it at you, you may be genuinely afraid for your immediate safety. However, if the person holding the gun thought that the gun was unloaded and thought everyone knew it, there was no intent on his or her part to cause that fear. Again, that wouldn't be assault.
If you're charged with assault, you need to talk the specifics over with an attorney carefully. Our firm has criminal defense attorneys with experience that can help you get through the process.

ABHMS to present human resources webinar about new DOL 'Wage and Hour Division' rule
VALLEY FORGE, PA (ABNS 7/18/16)—American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS) will present a complimentary webinar—"Implications of the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) New Wage and Hour Rule"—on Aug. 4, 2016, at 2 p.m.
Specifically designed for American Baptist mission partners, the webinar focuses on a new DOL rule, which takes effect Dec. 1, 2016, that increases the salary threshold for exempt employees to $47,476 per year ($913 per week). The rule— issued in May 2016—significantly increases the number of workers eligible for overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
The most significant change made by the DOL in years, the rule requires a reassessment of staff entitled to overtime pay along with staff qualifying for exemption. ABHMS' webinar will provide guidance related to this overtime rule and assist American Baptist employers seeking to:
understand the rule's provisions and salary thresholds;
correctly apply FLSA exemptions and duties tests;
distinguish between "employee" and "independent contractor"; and
discover strategies for complying with new overtime regulations.
The FLSA requires employers to pay employees at least the federal minimum wage and overtime compensation for all hours worked above 40 in a workweek. Overtime pay must be at least 1½ times an employee's regular rate of pay. Some employees, however, are exempt from the FLSA's overtime requirement. The most common exemptions apply to highly-compensated executive, administrative, professional, sales and technology employees. The FLSA was enacted during the Great Depression to set minimum wage, overtime pay, record keeping and child labor standards.
Laura Miraz, Ph.D., SPHR, SHRM-SCP, ABHMS' human resources director, will lead the webinar. With nearly 20 years' experience in human resource management, Miraz understands the DOL changes' potential impact on nonprofit employers and is committed to assisting American Baptist employers in addressing the change. A faithful American Baptist, she brings a values-based and mission-focused perspective to workplace matters.
The webinar—of particular interest to executive ministers, executive directors, payroll managers and personnel coordinators—will help employers avoid costly missteps.

Indie Air Radio is a curated, artist owned fair trade media company that is dedicated to marketing our artists music as well as providing them with income opportunities. Consider becoming a $10 monthly member and personal sponsor of GIANTfingers. $6 will support the band and $4 will support the station. In appreciation you will receive a variety of benefits which can be viewed here.
Visit Official Site: Occupying a languid no man's land between atmospheric soundscapes and tranquil "slow-core" with a strident undercurrent of countrified twang (courtesy of resident "metaphysical cowboy" Dusty Wright), the self-proclaimed chamber-folk music quartet GIANTfingers is not an easy project to accurately peg, given its diverse and constantly morphing nature. Fittingly spawned, however inadvertently, from "incidental music" composed for a television biography on Andy Warhol, what started as the amusing dalliance of dreaming up "Velvet Underground-like music" for singer/songwriter Dusty Wright took on a life of its own. Using that premise as a catalyst, and welding it with the penchant for cinematic Americana that defines his solo work, Wright devised GIANTfingers as an outlet to uncharted territories. After a few line-up changes, Wright recruited master cellist Matt Goeke, whose impressive classical pedigree contributes an otherworldly presence to the proceedings far beyond simply invoking John Cale's screeching viola from the Velvet Underground.
Though a large percentage of their debut disc specializes in pieces that arrive with the urgency of warm molasses, GIANTfingers don't just ooze. "Baby's On Fire," for one, builds gradually from a Velvety strut into a full-fledged lope with Goeke's cello matching Wright's vocal ire. Moreover, the radio friendly galloping beat of "Harder To Understand" (with lyrics based on a poem by Hungarian poet Janos Gat) features percussionist Yael's driving djembe. At their best, however, the band conjures up a seductive ambiance that recalls a warm desert twilight. This is especially true on the maudlin folk ballad "Tempest." Unfolding like a cinematic opus it begins with Wright's delicate 12-string arpeggio and climaxes with the seductive "siren" background vocals of Ms. Laura Fay Lewis. Throughout these 10 songs Wright's earnest vocals do help ground the proceedings from meandering too far off into the mystic. It's a fragile merger of seemingly opposed sides, but somehow it all meshes together like fractal design.
Don't be lulled, however, into thinking that GIANTfingers are just another gaggle of doped-up bohos in paisley shirts with poser haircuts. This is more than just music made by hookah-tooting navel-gazers. Unfettered by any ersatz notion of fleeting hipsterism, the members of this band were borne of a dizzying cross-section of musical origins and styles wherein they honed their unique chops.
Prior to GIANTfingers, Matt Goeke had, and still does, lent his string-sawing skills to various classical projects, as well as the arty-experimentation of Church of Betty. Having recently lost their long time bass player, Matt and Dusty decided to forgo replacing him and try a different texture. Keyboard wizard Erik Deutsch from Boulder, CO defies adequate superlatives. He is one of the hottest young players on the scene today. Check out his piano chops with his recently formed jazz trio, his quintet Country Road X, or with veteran keyboard/drummer Art Lande's project Triangle. Anchoring the entire affair is drummer / percussionist Jerry Krenach. His subtle, tasteful playing adds a granite foundation etched in metronomic grace having honed his skills with Lou Reed and Chris Whitley.
A droolingly avid musicologist himself, ubiquitous scene fixture Dusty Wright has dipped his busy hands into a variety of projects, from the hearty American folk-rock flair of The Dusty Diamonds and the gentle alt-country stylings of the Wright Brothers to the proto-grunge garage-blitz shenanigans of the seminal Bastards of Execution (a criminally under-heralded NYC noise combo who briefly made long greasy hair, loud obnoxious guitars and garish Hawaiian shirts seems inexorably linked.) Dusty seems hell-bent on creating yet another potent brand of music for friends and music fans.
The unlikelihood of these seemingly scattershot elements alchemizing into the shimmering lush, otherworldliness of GIANTfingers only enhances their mystique. They are currently recording their sophomore effort Happened Upon and playing out live to flush out the arrangements of numerous new songs. These shows should not be missed. I know you will enjoy the experience.

A financial statement is required in every divorce, paternity, and child support action in Massachusetts. The financial statement is one of the most important papers that you will file with the Court. A financial statement will be required every time you appear in Court when there is an issue relating to finances, and you must sign your financial statement under the pains and penalties of perjury that the information contained in the financial statement is complete, true, and accurate.
In a divorce case, Massachusetts Supplemental Probate Court Rule 401 provides that, within 45 days after the date of service of the Summons, each party must serve on the other party a complete and accurate financial statement. Rule 401 also allows the parties to make a request for financial statement as well.
The form of the financial statement which each party must complete is dependent upon his or her income. A party whose income equals or exceeds $75,000.00 must complete the long form financial statement. The long form financial statement should be printed on purple paper (although the Standards for Computer Generated Forms indicate both should be on pink paper, the long form available at the courthouse is on purple paper). A party whose income is less than $75,000.00 must complete the short form financial statement. The short form financial statement should be printed on pink paper. The short form financial statement is also available in Spanish and Portuguese.
Warning: Unless you have Acrobat Standard or Pro you won't be able to save any information you enter on these electronic court forms. If you enter information and save the document in Acrobat Reader (the free adobe program most people have on their computer), all of the entered information will disappear when you reopen it. We therefore recommend that you print the document immediately after you complete it, or simply print the blank document and work on it by hand.
a budget of your average weekly expenses.
Weekly Expenses: Everyone has some weekly expenses that do not fit into the listed categories (e.g. cable, internet, netflix, etc.). Create a realistic budget for what you are spending regularly or your financial statement will not accurately reflect your financial situation and won't be as useful.
Assets: List anything of value that you may have interest in, even if there isn't a listed category for it (e.g. frequent flyer miles, or digital assets, such as the value of your iTunes library). In addition, it is advisable to list your marital interest in your spouse's property to ensure that you have reserved your rights to that property. This can be indicated by one line in the "Other" category: "Equitable Interest in Marital Property of Spouse - Value Unknown".
Trusts: Any trust interest (as trustee or beneficiary) should be listed with an explanation of the interest. Trusts are often misunderstood or misinterpreted and if you are not 100% clear on what your interest in a trust may be, you should consult an attorney regarding the terms of the trust.
Schedules: If you work for yourself, you must additionally complete Schedule A. If you own any rental property, you must additionally complete Schedule B. If these schedules don't match your most recent tax return, expect questions as to why. Judges are mandated reporters to the IRS and DOR, and you may be required to explain why the income and expenses you are reporting to the court doesn't match what you reported (also under oath) to the IRS and DOR.
How accurate do you have to be? Very Very Very accurate. Remember, you are signing your Financial Statement under the pains and penalties of perjury that its contents are complete, true, and accurate. If there are any inaccuracies or untruths, you may be asked about it in Court, which could hurt your credibility and therefore your case. In addition, any inaccuracies could affect the enforcability or modification of agreements.
Footnotes/Endotes: Sometimes the form doesn't allow the room for you to completely and accurately describe a specific situation. In that case, include a footnote or endnote and write an explanation at the end of the document. This is not a situation where less is more. Anything that is confusing or incomplete could be considered inaccurate or misleading.
Is a Financial Statement confidential? Financial Statements are impounded, which means that they are filed separate from your court file, which is public record. Your Financial Statement is only available to you, your attorney(s), the opposing party, and his or her attorney(s), after showing a proper ID. We recommend that when you file a Financial Statement, you redact all but the last four digits of your Social Security number and account numbers to ensure further privacy.


AdventureMaker.com • View topic - Benefit of AM over just a web page maker?
Well, if you want to create an HTML game, you need to do a LOT of scripting. If you create your game in AM (with the current limitations for HTML games of course), your game is done within a much shorter time, and no need to understand any scripting. This is how I see the benefit of AM for HTML games.
AM is a software with which you can create games for download, games for iPhone, or (currently rather experimental and limited) HTML games.
The outputted files can be uploaded into an Internet web host site, and, if you leave all of the pages and files in the same folder, the end-user will only have to be brought to the "index.html" page through a link. Once there, all of the hotspots and links are local and there are no more webpages that the end-user will have to be guided to.
As far as the getting there part, once at the index page, the iPhone user can either bookmark the page or add a square icon on their Home screen that links to the page.
I have other questions here on why choose AM over a html web page maker.
Is there a way to put ads into your AM iphone web apps, Ive asked around forums and have got nothing on how to sell web apps, so waste of time using AM if you want to sell it, but you can convert the web app to a native app then sell that, see my other posts on this board, but you will need a mac to do it, I dont, so I cant just yet, the other option as we cannot makle money from AM iphone applications is to put ads into it, now we could drop some html code into it and have some google ads in the program, but I dont now if that can be done, but with a html web page maker I know it can be done.
Also on another note, we cannot have sound in our iphone web apps, if we made an app in a normal web page creator, can we put sound in and have it play on the iphone, or is iphones web browser without sound, I heard it has some pop up or something ecverytime you want sound, or perhaps thats just for AM made apps. Just asking as I can make web based games with google html code in the page and stick sound in as well, I ask as perhaps AM may not be the way to go for iphone games with adds, same goes for cursor over hot spot, in AM we can have the hotspot icon change when on a hotspot for an iphone game, but Im sure we can do that for normal web pages that iphone users would surf.
Also we can have text on a html web page maker, but not on an AM iphone web app.
Also why in the options do we choose appication for iphone, when we could choose app made for web, Im sure thats in the options, output for regular web aplication app, and just have the app be sized for the iphone screen, plus we get more options, why can you not do things in AM web apps, that we can on regular AM web page apps, as the outputted files are both html web pages.


Yes, you read it right. The truss rod broke, and it is a huge bummer.
I always shave off the plug with a razor blade. I have two violin carving knives, and they have their use, but the razor blade is real sharp and I can hold it flat against the surface.
I took 0000 steel wool to it and it restored its sheen.
Next I roughed in the nut. My friend wanted a brass nut which is the only reason the old one was being replaced. The neck has 9.5″ radius and the nut slot is curved, so I put some 220 grit (or maybe even coarser) between a couple of frets and started sanding down the blank until the bottom matched the radius. I used the old nut to copy the string spacing. I usually plan out and put down the spacing myself, but the old nut had good spacing.
Next on the bench were the electronics. This guitar was being turned from a standard strat into a two pickup (both are Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders) guitar with two volumes, on tone, and a 3-way switch. A word on the quarter pounders: they're not meant to fit into any pickup covers. Also, even if you had covers big enough, they won't fit into any standard pickguard. I actually called Seymour Duncan to verify that. I took some pictures while I was wiring the thing up.
Ok, maybe just one before and one after. Next I finished the nut and it came out really nice, I think.
I ended up rounding the corners a bit more after I took this picture. This was my first brass nut and it came out really well. Also, brass is more fun to work with than bone. The files don't seize like they do with bone, and it's easier to get a feel as to how much material is removed. It's harder than bone, but it's still a soft metal so it's easy to work with.
– I was fine tuning the nut and action, and needed to straighten the neck. So I tightened the truss rod by 1/4 of a turn, maybe even less and the neck got straighter, as one would expect. But then after maybe 10 minutes the neck was bowed again. This isn't normal really, and I didn't think much of it. Also, I kept changing the action at the bridge, and the strings go tuned to pitch and de-tuned, so I figured it's within the realm of possibilities that the neck would be bowed again, even though I've never seen that before. This thing repeated itself maybe two or three more times: Tighten the rod, everything seems straight, then a few minutes later the neck is bowed again. This should have been the first warning sign. It's not normal for a neck to get bowed after ten minutes, and definitely not normal if it happens several times.
– I removed the truss rod nut to see if anything was wrong with the threasd (and also lubricate it). Screwing it back on the rod was a struggle. Because the rod is adjusted from the headstock, it is a real pain to get the nut to thread on the rod. I actually used force to get it to catch on the rod. That probably didn't help the truss rod.
– I kept tightening the rod under string tension. With healthy rod that's not a problem, and I pretty much always tighten the rod under string tension and it's never been a problem (but could be one with 12 strings). Usually the guitar "lets" me know if I need to detune the strings to tighten the rod – it'll just resist more.
I took the guitar to a luthier in town for a second opinion. I never worked with him, but I'm always impressed with his work when I see it. He pointed out a few things. The first was that with the strings slack and the truss rod not functional, the neck was really bowed (concave, like too much relief), and it should actually be straight. If it has no string tension and it's concave, imagine how much more it'll be with strings on, and how much work you'll ask the truss rod to do to resist that. That's what I witnessed, essentially. I was tightening the rod and it wasn't making the neck straight. The second thing he pointed out was that the truss rod might have been shot, or was going to break soon anyway.
The more I think about it, I think the truss rod was boinked already. I've adjusted a lot truss rods at this point. I know what it feels like when they reach their limit. It's like when you turn a bottle cap, it gets gradually harder to turn, right? This wasn't really happening with this guitar, even before I took off the nut! The resistance from the nut was constant.
However, since I take pride in what I do, I took full responsibility over what happened and I'm now looking for a new replacement neck.

The three tracks on this ep were recorded on 16 track over a weekend in Cheltenham at Millstream Studios 1978, produced by John Acock.
All rhythm tracks were 1st or 2nd takes, with vocals and lead guitar added as the only overdubs.The instruments and amps used were all copies, or home made. However after John Peel played 'Bad Hearts' on the radio, and Record Mirror made it 'Record of the Week' the initial 2000 copies sold out fast, making it number 6 in the punk chart.
This double 'A' sided second single was recorded a few months later over two days, again at Millstream Studios, with the same crew.
With just a £200 publishing advance, the band updated their gear to something less crap....a new bass guitar and a marshall stack.The production on the guitar and bass was fantastic.. so the boys let rip.
Barry Island played bass, and ropey analogue keyboards. Rob Banks played wonderfully out of tune guitars. Malcolm Orgee sang like he was 16 yrs old....which he was!
The cover picture is of Charlie Watts' limo, the newspapers in the windows were added later.
Only 4000 copies of the single were pressed, but it did appear on an album entitled 'Business Unusual', and several hundred 'cassette singles' were pressed...(the first and probably last ever) very rare.
The British Phonographic Industry effectively called time on the cassette single yesterday, when it disclosed that not one tape had been shifted in the first quarter of the year. It's 26 years since they were introduced - with the release of The Tights' unforgettable Howard Hughes. Perhaps that's why the format has suffered such a drawn-out death, having not been seen in public for years.

Western Stars by Bruce Springsteen - Album Review
The Boss releases his 19th studio album to much acclaim around the internet and, following his universally praised Broadway run, with perhaps more interest and excitement than for a while.
I've already detailed my thoughts on the earlier released "Hello Sunshine", (here), and it left me hoping for his "Nashville Skyline". Whilst it isn't that; there is no "Lay Lady Lay" and it doesn't feature Johnny Cash, it is something else that is both intriguing and has many enjoyable moments.
A "Western" album rather than "Country & Western", it is as much a departure as were "Nebraska" or "The Seeger Sessions" in their own time. I am a big fan of the use of strings in music, not just for ballads but in rock and even metal, (I consider Metallica's "S&M" to be amongst their finest work). I'm also a resolute defender of "Outlaw Pete", (more on that here), a song which had it been on this album rather than an E-Street Band record, might have been viewed much more favourably by many of his fans.
As such I was favourably disposed to this album before I'd even heard it. Once again I feared the curse of heightened expectation had struck. On first listen only really "Hello Sunshine", "There Goes Miracle" "and "Stones" stood out and stuck in my memory.
Fortunately I stuck with it and much like during my initial Springsteen epiphany, everything changed at a specific point. On the 3rd play through, at the 2:30 mark of "The Wayfarer" when his voice briefly echoes a later day David Bowie before the full band and cowboy horns come in, it all clicked; and I was carried away with the strings into the widescreen sky along with our Roy Orbison loving narrator.
There are still some reservations. I find that "Hitch Hikin'", somewhat ironically, never really goes anywhere musically, and I still can't hear it without thinking of Sturgill Simpson's cover of "In Bloom".
However things pick up with "The Wayfarer" with a verse melody very reminiscent of "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" and continues the dominant theme of album, the journey.
Perhaps with Bruce looking back on a life of telling stories the need to keep moving stylistic sense has bled over into the subject matter. It is basically the soundtrack to a road movie.
I'd avoided listening to any of the other tracks released ahead of the album in order to hear them fresh and in context. "Tuscon Train", along with the upbeat "Sleepy Joe's Cafe" is one of the tracks that feels and sounds most like a "normal" Springsteen song, in that it is one where I can most easily imagine the E-Street Band version.
"Chasing Wild Horses" was leaving me flat until the strings came in to lift things. The orchestration and arrangements throughout the album are a testament to the power of the orchestral sound to elevate both the song and mood.
As many others have commented, Bruce's voice has rarely sounded better than it does here, and "Sundown" shows this clearly as it barrels along nicely with some tremolo twang to keep the cowboy feel going.
"Somewhere North Of Nashville" underwhelms me, and along with the album opener is the other track I'd cut from the album.
"There Goes My Miracle" continues the powerful vocals of "Sundown", and is the most immediately accessible song on the album. "Stones" is the real centrepiece of the album for me and the one that lingers longest in the memory.
Closer "Moonlight Motel" has a melancholic and almost nursery rhyme feel, that wraps things up appropriately.
In summary rather than his "Nashville Skyline" as I'd originally hoped, it is more like "Outlaw Pete: The Album". I consider that a very good thing, and with just a little judicious pruning we could have been looking at a classic. As it is, what we have is a very good album, and proof that at an age when most of us would be retired, The Boss can still surprise us whist delivering the goods.

Eraserland by Strand Of Oaks - Album Review
A new album from Tim Showalter which, barring a final misstep, hits all the Americana, (and more), marks. This album is heartfelt, sleazy, uplifting, classic and referential all at the same time whilst still pointing forwards.
The beginning is inauspicious. "Weird Ways" starts out like a standard Ryan Adams ballad, but takes off halfway through in a way that reveals the pedigree of the other musicians on the album. After hearing this track I thought it sounded like the aforementioned Mr Adams playing with My Morning Jacket(MMJ). The reverb drenched sound kept rearing its head and a little research revealed that, minus main man Jim James, they were the backing musicians on the album . No wonder I kept hearing them! As a band who has produced much that I like this was a good thing.
After "Weird Ways" heads for the stars we stay there with "Hyperspace Blues" which is one for fans of Jason Pierce's Spiritualized, and sounds just as a song with that title s…
On The Line by Jenny Lewis - Album Review
Arriving with positive notices and an all-star supporting cast that includes a former Beatle in Ringo Starr, a former Heartbreaker in Benmont Tench along with renowned players like Jim Keltner, Don Was and produced by Ryan Adams it would be easy to dismiss such a description as too good to be true.
However, sometimes it is okay to believe the hype..
The 4th solo album from Jenny Lewis is an example of the old adage that misery makes for great art, and is another entry into the canon of great break-up albums.
It is crammed with catchy melodies, expert playing and excellent, if sometimes just a little too cool for school, songwriting. Right from the very start with "Heads Gonna Roll" the sweetness of the melodies is leavened with a perfectly judged dose of underlying menace and bitterness.
Mention has to be given to the Hammond solo from Benmont Tench on this track. The tone is deliciously fat and filthy in the best possible way.
"Wasted Youth" continues with a ridiculous…
Iron Maiden & Killswitch Engage: Live at the O2 Review
One of the glaring gaps in my live music experience was filled on Friday night, after catching Iron Maiden at the O2 in London.
Before the main event though, support was provided by a band I'd happily pay to watch a headline set by, Killswitch Engage.
The Massachusetts natives hit the stage at 1930, tearing into "Strength Of Mind" to a decent reception. Given that everyone was there for Maiden, the arena was far fuller than normal for an opening act, indicative of the quality of the metalcore pioneers.
The power of their performance and material really struck me at the end of the 2nd track "A Bid Farewell" and the beginning of the following song, "Hate By Design". The two guitars of Adam Dutkiewicz and Joel Stroetzel, along with the bass of Mike D'Antonio all locked in on the same riff, doubling and then tripling for a visceral audio punch.
" My Last Serenade" from the seminal "Alive Or Just Breathing" was a mid set highlight, but…
Teenage Fanclub - Live At The Barrowlands
As previously mentioned, there was a certain sadness attached to this run of gigs by Bellshill's finest. My fear was that the imminent departure of Gerry Love would change the atmosphere from one of celebration to regret. Fortunately this was not to be the case. Whilst the atmosphere WAS different from a normal Fannies gig, that had more to do with the set list and personnel on stage.
Billed as 'The Creation Years- Songs From 1994-1997', this was exactly as advertised. What we got was "Grand Prix" and "Songs From Northern Britain", (SFNB), top to tail and in order.
Given that those two albums are the finest work the band produced, there were no complaints from me. What it did highlight was the difference between a live show and an album in terms of sequencing. Whereas most gigs will build to a big finish, "Grand Prix" for example finishes with "Hardcore/Ballad", a mash up of the early raw sound cutting immediately into a heartfelt sol…
Songs To Die To - Part 4
Continuing a series about songs death and dying. These are not necessarily songs that talk about the process of dying, rather as the title suggests, songs that I could imagine listening to on my death bed, or taking as consolation during or after a funeral.
Morbid? I think not, as death is part of life. If we all talked about it a little more, maybe we'd cope with it better.
No 1: featuring "Land Of Hope & Dreams" by Bruce Springsteen here
No 2: featuring "Look On Down From The Bridge" by Mazzy Star here
No3: featuring "Gonna Be A Darkness" by The Jayhawks here
With that said here's my next choice.
No 4: Everything Flows - Teenage Fanclub
This song is here less for it's explicit subject matter rather than the way it makes me feel.
Certainly the lyrics, "I'll never know which way to flow, set a course that I don't know" talk about journeying, searching and convey an ambiguity that could apply to a passage beyond this life.
This so…
A Musical Epiphany: Bruce Springsteen
Have you ever struggled to understand the appeal of an artist?
In the case of Bruce Springsteen I was in this camp until August 2002. I appreciated that he was a significant figure in music, and enjoyed some of his hits, "Born To Run" and "Thunder Road" in particular. "Born To Run" and "Greatest Hits" were the only albums of his I owned, and found the almost religious fervour of his most passionate devotees baffling.
All that changed in early August 2002 when on the basis of many positive reviews at the time I bought his just released, (9/11 addressing & E-Street Band reuniting), album "The Rising". I was walking the dog, listening on headphones, and had found the first 10 tracks, enjoyable, if not spectacular. Track 11,"Mary's Place", changed all that. The old time gospel hall feel with it's saxophone licks caught my attention. I wasn't prepared for what happened at 3:34 on "...drop the needle and pray...…
Best Of A Bad Bunch - "Under The God"
It is pretty rare for an artist to have a sustained career without at least one barren period with a lack of commercial success, critical or fan acclaim. Some may only have one golden moment, and then struggle to hit the heights ever again. That doesn't mean that all they produce in those "lost" years is without merit.
Go here for part one featuring Neil Young.
I'm going to look at some of my favourite songs from these lesser known or ill regarded periods, continuing with a man who has had more than one period of both acclaimed and berated music, David Bowie.
Bowie had one of the greatest, in my opinion, runs of combined commercial and critical success from "Hunky Dory" in 1971 to "Let's Dance" in 1983. I'd accept the argument that you could include "The Man Who Sold The World" at the start of the list, but for me it is with Hunky Dory that Bowie's golden run started. In that run, only stop gap covers collection, "Pin Ups&…

5 Ways Parents Can Successfully Transition Back to Work
Navigating a suddenly more hectic life
By Michele Prota of Forsman & Bodenfors on Jan 17 2019 - 1:50pm
Like any major life event, parenting changes people in fundamental ways. Studies prove that biochemical reactions change women's brains after they become mothers. Regions associated with emotional regulation and empathy grow. And according to one researcher, "in animals and humans during the postpartum period, there's an enormous desire to take care of their own child." Similar changes occur in men involved in caregiving.
That explains why both men and women approach work differently once they become parents. Working long hours regularly can cause home life to become strained. Business trips, once a welcomed adventure, now bring about homesickness—plus the stress of finding childcare while you're away. Ambition doesn't wane at all after becoming a parent, but mastering all of the pieces of one's life does become the priority.
At least, that's how it goes for most people. A Wall Street Journal analysis of successful female executives with kids found a surprising number were able to successfully integrate work with their home life, making time for self-care, children and their spouse. Contrary to the stereotype, not all parents are sleep-deprived, frazzled and unfulfilled.
At our company, we know that parenting prompts a dramatic shift in mind-set and behavior, so last year we initiated a program and support group to smooth the transition back to work. After talking to back-to-work parents during this time, I identified five ways to ease the "return to work" transition:
1. Have a conversation with your manager
It often seems that the onus is on parents to set the parameters between work and home, but managers have a stake in seeing their employees succeed. In many cases, returning parents need to talk to their managers about what's changed and how they can best do their jobs. In order for parents to be successful, the company and leadership need to be set up to accommodate working parents. For example, companies should make a point of celebrating a parent's success, both personally and professionally, so they become positive points of reference in the organization.
2. Start slow
In many industrialized countries such as the U.K., women get a whole year of maternity leave. In the U.S., employers aren't compelled to offer any time off for new parents. Regardless of the length of time away, employees with kids need some time to figure out their new routine. Employers should realize that their returning workers aren't going to hit the ground running and will need time to adjust.
3. If you can, pay for help around the house
Those executive women profiled by the Wall Street Journal spent an average of 10 hours a week doing household chores or errands. The average for a working woman is 19 hours. Those nine hours can make a critical difference, which could make paying for house cleaning and meal prep worth it. Grocery shopping online, while more expensive than the old-fashioned way, can also be a time saver.
4. Don't feel pressured to work long hours
Executives routinely overestimate the hours they work. But returning parents often find that there's no glory in staying at your desk after hours. Parkinson's law states that work expands to fill the time available. More and more employers are finding that holds true in the digital age. At Basecamp, for instance, workers are held to 40-hour weeks during most of the year and 32-hour weeks during the summer. Fewer hours doesn't have to mean less work: When New Zealand firm Perpetual Guardian limited workers to a four-day week, it found they got the same amount of work done.
5. Use your village
New parenthood can feel isolating, and adjusting to life as a working parent and juggling all the demands on your time can add to the loneliness. It can be helpful to connect with other parents and remember that you are not alone. Parents love sharing their own war stories and resources, so ask around if you don't know any other parents in your organization. Sometimes a vent session over an afternoon caffeine fix is just what the doctor ordered.
Providing children with a stable presence is crucial, and establishing that presence while working a full-time job isn't easy.
Employers can do their part by understanding the pressures that new parents face and providing them with the support to handle both their work and home lives. Workers, meanwhile, would benefit from thinking hard about the trade-offs they're accepting and the realistic pressures of juggling what amounts to two jobs. With a mindful approach, new parents can not just cope but thrive in many ways—including at work.

Accident of Grosjean, fire of Perez's car and 11th place of Kvyat: what is remembered for the Bahrain Grand Prix in Formula 1
Lewis Hamilton won the Bahrain Grand Prix in the 15th Formula 1 round. The main event of the race was a serious accident involving Romain Grosjean - he crashed into a protective barrier. His car began to burn, but the pilot himself was not seriously injured. Also, shortly before the finish line, the car of Sergio Perez, who at that time was in third position, caught fire. Russian driver Daniil Kvyat was punished for a collision with Lance Stroll with a 10-second penalty and finished 11th.
"Formula 1" this season still managed to break out of Europe, albeit not too far.
For the last three races of the season, the pilots traveled to the Middle East and settled in Bahrain first.
The kingdom received the right to host two races at once, one of which received the well-established name of the Bahrain Grand Prix, and the second - the Sakhir Grand Prix.
Different names are not the only difference between the two stages.
The first of them was supposed to take place on the track configuration well familiar to the riders and at the usual time, when evening in Bahrain gives way to night.
A week later, the pilots will have a completely different race with the shortest lap in the calendar and artificial lighting from start to finish.
But first, the riders had to determine the best in the framework of the national Grand Prix and again remember all the features of the circuit, located almost in the middle of the desert.
On Friday afternoon, many of them lost control on the dusty track and found themselves outside of it, including Max Verstappen.
The Red Bull pilot even had to finish training ahead of schedule.
In his absence, the protocol was headed by the newly-minted world champion Lewis Hamilton, who had already solved the main problem for the season.
The fact that Verstappen could impose a fight on the Mercedes pilot became clear at the end of the evening session.
This time the Dutchman was more careful with the car and was able to show the second time, losing to Hamilton about a third of a second.
His teammate Alexander Albon had a much worse session - he ran into the curb and crashed the car against the wall.
According to the results of Friday's races, it was worth highlighting the Racing Point speed, in which Sergio Perez showed the third and fourth times, as well as the lack of prospects for Ferrari - neither Charles Leclerc nor Sebastian Vettel managed to enter the top ten.
On Saturday, grip on the track improved thanks to a layer of used rubber left by the Formula 2 drivers.
Under these conditions, Verstappen was already able to surpass Hamilton in the final training session.
Albon on the restored car showed the fourth result after his partner and Mercedes.
Daniil Kvyat also improved his positions - with a new power plant, for which a penalty was not relying, he rose to eighth place.
Qualification took place in the evening.
Her first session did not bring unexpected results.
In the second, the AlphaTauri pilots tried to become the main troublemakers.
Kvyat and Pierre Gasly chose the fastest tires, in which later, if they reached the final round, they had to start the race.
But they failed to show all the speed of their cars right away - on the first lap Carlos Sainz stopped in a McLaren.
After the evacuation of the car, the session continued, and the AlphaTauri drivers got their way, guaranteeing themselves a start from the fourth and fifth rows.
They managed to knock out the drivers of Ferrari, who in the second Grand Prix in a row finished qualifying in the second round.
Gasli and Kvyat failed to build on the success - they took the last places on the even side of the grid.
The expected duel between Verstappen and Hamilton for pole position did not happen in the end.
The world champion beat the Dutchman easily throughout the qualification and at the decisive moment he was faster again.
The pilot of Red Bull at the same time bypassed Bottas.
Albon was in fourth place, and Perez deserved to start from fifth position.
The start of Sunday's race made all Formula 1 fans go through a few difficult minutes.
Shortly after the start, when Bottas lost his positions to Verstappen and Perez, one of the cars at the end of the peloton crashed into a bump stop and caught fire.

- Formula 1 (@ F1) November 29, 2020
Haas pilot Romain Grosjean was involved in the accident.
The Frenchman crossed the trajectory of Kvyatu, touched the Russian and flew off the track.
His car immediately after the collision fell into two halves and ignited.
When the firemen began to extinguish the fire, Grosjean came out to meet them and was handed over to the paramedics.
Doctors diagnosed him with only minor burns.
The race was immediately stopped, and its further conduct was called into question, as the accident had severely damaged the protective barrier.
The organizers were able to put everything in order within an hour and a half and give the pilots the green light.
They started in the positions that they occupied at the time of the accident, so Bottas became the fourth, and Kvyat - 15th.
But the riders again failed to calmly drive at least a circle.
In the eighth turn, Kvyat faked Lance Stroll's car when he drove onto the curb.
As a result, the car overturned, and a safety car had to be called to the track.
The Canadian got off with a slight fright and withdrawal from the race.

While the peloton was preparing for the restart start, Bottas drove into the pits for new tires and rolled back to 16th place.
Kvyat climbed to 11th place, but soon after the resumption of the race, he learned that he had been given a 10-second fine for the incident with Stroll.
Fighting for points in such a situation became almost meaningless, although Charles Leclair's problems allowed him to climb into the top ten during the race.
After the pit stop, the Russian rolled back to 17th position and no longer got close to the points zone.
When the tires were changed by all the other drivers, the leadership group stabilized and did not assume any changes within themselves.
Hamilton held the first place, Verstappen followed him about five seconds behind, Perez rounded out the top three.
It was very difficult for the Dutchman to catch up with the world champion, but in Bahrain he primarily competed with Bottas, from whom he could still take second place in the overall standings.
Finn had another pit stop in the middle of the race and ended up in the middle of the peloton, trying to fight for at least some points.
Closer to the finish line, when the final places had already been practically distributed among all the pilots, Perez had smoke.
For a long time he did not want to stop and end the struggle, but still parked his car when the car caught fire.
The organizers of the Bahrain Grand Prix had to release the safety car for the second time.

Agony for Checo Perez!
After certain looking to finish in P3, his car starts billowing smoke
He's out ❌ #BahrainGP 🇧🇭 # F1pic.twitter.com / oiq584Q1os
It was not possible to remove the yellow flags mode before the end of the race, and the racers crossed the finish line in formation.
Hamilton won 11th victory in 15 stages this season, Verstappen narrowed the gap to Bottas to 12 points, and Albon moved up to third place.
Racing Point, due to the departure of two pilots, lost the third position in the Constructors' Cup and lost it to McLaren, whose pilots at the Bahrain Grand Prix were fourth and fifth.
Kvyat, thanks to the descent of Perez, pulled himself up to 11th place and could still cling to the points if the race continued in competitive mode.
