Adolphe Blanc (24 June 1828 – May 1885) was a French composer of chamber music.

Blanc was born in Manosque, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.  At the age of 13 he was sent to study violin at the Paris Conservatoire. Though he studied under Fromental Halévy, and though his one-act comic opera Les Deux Billets was performed in 1868, Blanc's refined music lies in the Romantic Viennese tradition of hausmusik for private performance, music that was essentially peripheral to the public musical life of contemporary Paris, which was centered on opera, and as a result Blanc has been largely overlooked.  There are three string trios, four string quartets, seven string quintets of various configurations, 15 piano trios, piano quartets and quintets as well as settings and arrangements, songs, pieces for piano and violin, choral works and some orchestral works.

He was conductor at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris, 1855 – 1860, and died in Paris.

None of his music, save perhaps the Septet opus 40, can be called familiar. The following have been recorded:

Trio for piano, clarinet and cello op. 23
Quintet for piano, flute, clarinet, horn and bassoon op. 37
Septet for clarinet, horn, bassoon, violin, viola, cello and double bass, op. 40 (1860)
Sonatine concertante for two pianos, op. 64
String quintets numbers 3 (op. 21), 4 (op. 22) and 7 (op. 50)

Not-So-Great Plains
Two Pulitzer Prize winners attempt to lasso the look and culture of the state's emptiest quarter—with mixed results.
By Don Graham
IN 1916 GEORGIA O'KEEFFE, who was then living in Canyon, wrote a friend back East about the beauty of the sky in that vast, open country: "The whole sky—and there is so much of it out here—was just blazing—and grey blue clouds were rioting all through the hotness of it—and the ugly little buildings and windmills looked great against it." O'Keeffe's enthusiasm for the plains of West Texas finds its fictional corollary in novels by two Pulitzer prize-winning authors, Annie Proulx and Suzan-Lori Parks.
Proulx's novel, That Old Ace in the Hole (Scribner, 2002), is set in the Panhandle, where the author apparently spent considerable time; her extensive "Acknowledgments" indicates indebtedness to locals including various librarians, a fiddle player, farmers, a guy who fixed a flat for her, and somewhat coyly, one "Larry McMurtry of Booked Up in Archer City." Parks, an avant-garde playwright, lived for a while in Odessa when she was a child, the area where the somewhat clankingly titled Getting Mother's Body (Random House, 2003) begins. Their works are valiant but not always successful attempts to come to grips with the ethos and the landscape of the state's emptiest quarter.
Proulx tries to take Texas' pulse and parse its past. She is so hip she even alludes to a certain magazine: In an office in Houston, her protagonist leafs through "slippery copies of Texas Monthly." Proulx fans will recognize her signature quirkiness of characterization and the same talent for striking descriptions of rural vistas that made The Shipping News one of those books people are always trying to get you to read. Her latest novel, however, is not one that Proulx proselytizers are likely to be pushing. It is as though Richard Avedon had taken up writing fiction, for Proulx's West is a place of freaks and freak shows.
The book traces the erratic fortunes of 25-year-old Bob Dollar, who has been sent down to the Panhandle from the Denver office of Global Pork Rind to scout locations for new hog farms. He moves to a place improbably called Woolybucket, where he meets people with names odder than his. Proulx's habit of giving characters eccentric names grows tiresome pretty quick. Annie Prolix invites us to contemplate such monikers as Ribeye Cluke, Rope Butt, Harry Howdiboy, LaVon Fronk, Wally Ooly, Freda Beautyrooms, and Dick Head, among many, many others. Fannie Proustnot must have never heard of Ima Hogg, though there is a reference to one Venus Hogg. In a single paragraph, Nannie Pootluck gives us Hen Page, Cy Frease, and Coolbroth Fronk, names guaranteed to call so much attention to themselves that one forgets the subject at hand.
The other problem, and one that went unremarked upon in all the reviews I've read, most of them by Yankees who wouldn't know any better, is Proulx's penchant for dialect, or what she might call "dilek." "Granddaddy" becomes "Graindeddy," sometimes "Graindaddy," but never "Grandaddy," which is the way Texuns say it. "Homaseashells" is another errant stab at "regional" speech. But the thing that drove me completely crazy is her rendering of how Texans say "to" and "of." The single word "a" covers both. One example from among 347,492 instances in the novel: "There's people out there would be proud a get into such a way a livin'." It warn't long before I was plumb wore out from reformatting these "a's" into their proper grammatical functions.
The concept of Proulx's novel is more interesting than its execution. There is a kind of sweet ecological evangelism in it—in favor of buffalo, which are native to the plains, and against hogs, which are not. Hogs stink, and when confined to close quarters, as on an industrial hog farm, produce odors so odious that one gasps at the prospect of living near such a place. Proulx spends so much time on these olfactory gulags that I decided to check out the situation on the Internet to see if things have improved since the year 2000, the time frame of the novel. They have not. Despite the finest efforts of swine scientists to control their smelliness, hogs in the aggregate still stink to high heaven. The title of Proulx's novel refers to a character named Ace Crouch, the most ardent foe of hog farms in the region. Ace plans to use his secret millions to buy up land to return the Panhandle to its presumed original ecological purity, where the buffalo roamed and never were heard discouraging words like "pork unit" and "hog farm."
When Bob Dollar isn't thinking about pigs, he's listening to Panhandlers tell windy yarns about the region's glorious past. Well into the novel, the prospect of having to hear another one has him "in despair," a point that the reader reaches considerably earlier. All the stories, all the hypernaming of eccentrics, bog things down, and the novel drags along, enlivened only by flashes of excellent descriptive portraiture of countryside and sky—the same features that attracted O'Keeffe's painterly eye.
Suzan-Lori Parks, the author of such plays as F—ing A (this is a family magazine; the even more prim New York Times refers to the title as A), has said that she replicated the technique and narrative structure of William Faulkner's tragicomic masterpiece, As I Lay Dying, in her first novel. Faulkner recounts in multifarious voices the epic journey of a poor white family in northern Mississippi who survive flood and fire while transporting their dead mother to her final resting place. Like Faulkner, her "literary pal," Parks lets her characters tell their own story, each chapter being in the voice of one of them. In these times of dumbed-down narration designed to ease the reader from one airport to the next, she takes risks.
Set in the civil-rights summer of 1963, Getting Mother's Body is not overtly political in nature. Parks, who is black, soft-pedals issues of race in favor of the interior motivations and emotions of her characters. The protagonist, a young girl named Billy Beede, is a close equivalent of Faulkner's Dewey Dell. Like DD, BB is pregnant and, lacking a husband, wants to abort the baby. The name of the no-account father, Snipes, is a jokey reference to Snopes, one of the most notorious names in the Faulkner pantheon.
Other connections to Faulkner are profuse, but the purpose of the journey is reversed. Instead of traveling to bury the mother's body, the family members in Parks's novel drive across three states to dig her up. Willa Mae Beede is buried in Arizona, and family legend has it that valuable jewelry—pearls and a diamond ring—was buried with her. The family is split as to the propriety of this undertaking, but a new housing development is about to be built over her grave site, so that becomes another motive for disinterring Mama.
As in Faulkner, the journey reveals tensions and conflicts that make for compelling characters. And unlike Proulx, Parks finds a convincing idiom in which to tell the story. Here is June Flowers Beede, the one-legged wife of Roosevelt Beede, speaking of her interest in the venture: "I ain't saying take her out the ground . . . I'm just saying take her treasury out the ground. . . . Just enough to get me a leg."
Probably the most disappointing parts of Parks's narrative are the Willa Mae sections, which are bland. Faulkner gave his matriarch only one chapter in As I Lay Dying, and Addie Bundren's great monologue is one of the triumphs of the novel. In Getting Mother's Body, Willa Mae is given several chapters, but most of them are renditions of blues songs composed by her, none of which are interesting. They sound like this, which I wrote 'cause I was so put off by hers: "How kin you tell a blues song's any good/By lookin' at it on the page?/You kaint, Lawd, you got to hear that blues song sung,/Lawd, you kaint tell by lookin' on the page."
Parks's family moves across the vastness of West Texas absorbed in their inner longings and desires. Billy Beede muses briefly upon the terrain through which they pass and then returns to her main preoccupation: "After Frankel City comes Truscott then Flagg. There ain't nothing out there but flat reddish-brown dirt and scrubby bushes and sky. And heat. There ain't no people. Some cows. No clouds. I wonder if my stomach's gonna get any bigger before tomorrow." Oddly, considering Proulx's novel, the scarcity of cows is balanced by a preponderance of pigs. A non-Beede character, Dill Smiles, a "bulldagger" and a "lezzy," raises pigs for a living. In a direct parody of and homage to Faulkner's famous one-sentence chapter, "My mother is a fish," Smiles is described by another character in a one-sentence chapter: "She pees standing up."
Proulx is best on landscape and space, Parks on characterization and dialect. But Larry McMurtry (the novelist) still owns literary West Texas.

That there was much humanity, as well as firmness, in the heads of the children of Ephraim, who joined with the prophet of Jehovah on this occasion, their subsequent conduct, as detailed in the fifteenth verse, sufficiently proves. They did not barely dismiss these most unfortunate captives, but they took that very spoil which their victorious army had taken, and with clothed, shod, fed, and anointed these distressed people, set the feeblest of them upon asses, and escorted them safely to Jericho! We can scarcely find a parallel to this in the universal history of the wars which savage man has carried on against his fellows from the foundation of the world. The compliance also of the whole army, in leaving both the captives and spoil to the disposal of the princes, was really wonderful, and perhaps unparalleled in history. Both the princes and army are worthy to be held up to the admiration and imitation of mankind.

On the contrary, those who died under the disapprobation of the people, as a mark of posthumous disgrace, were denied interment with their predecessors, and were buried in some other place in Jerusalem. So it was with Ahaz, who, though brought into the city, was not buried in the sepulchres of the kings of Judah. It was doubtless with a design to make a suitable impression on the minds of their kings while living, that such distinctions were observed. They might thus restrain them from evil, or excite them to good, according as they were fearful of being execrated, or desirous of being honoured, when dead.

NHL Betting Preview: Toronto vs. Calgary
November 30, 2016 •
Tonight a great Canadian NHL matchup will take place in Calgary, when the Toronto Maple Leafs come to Cowtown to face off against the Calgary Flames.
The Flames are coming off their longest road trip of the season, and will start a three-game homestand Wednesday night, while Toronto is in the middle of theirs, coming down to town after beating Calgary's inter-province rivals, the Edmonton Oilers last night, 4-2.
Toronto will be coming off a high after three of their players last night broke into double digits in scoring. Calgary on the other hand lost 2-1 in overtime to the New York Islanders on Monday night and are now 10-13-2 on the season. Despite that record they finished their six-game road trip a respectable 3-2-1.
The three wins they got on the road were recorded at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary which means they are working hard to improve their home record. Currently they are the worst in the league with a 3-7 record at home, and that's something Calgary will want to remedy tonight. Flames captain Mark Giordano told media that record has to improve,
"We've got to get some big wins at home," said Giordano. The test doesn't get easier as they host the Minnesota Wild on Friday and then the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. "We haven't been good enough at home."
So tonight should be a good chance to improve their home record, plus over the coming weeks if they play their game and stick to a stingy defence on home ice. Six of their next eight, and seven of their next 11 games are in Calgary, so hopefully for the Flames some home cooked meals will give them the edge they need.
"We have to be positive coming back home here," said Flames goaltender Brian Elliott, who made 25 saves to steal a point against the Islanders. Sean Monahan was also positive after snapping a five-game goalless drought in New York when he scored his sixth goal of the season, in the last period.
"It's nice to put one in there, but at the end of the day we're here for the two points and we got one out of it," Monahan said. "We're got to find a way to get the job done. Unfortunately we didn't, but we've got to bounce back here at home."
Calgary coach Glen Gulutzan was pleased to see Monahan finally find the back of the net, and so he'll be giving the 22-year-old center more ice time so he can build off of it.
"I think that'll be a little bit of a weight off his shoulders," Gulutzan said. "You know how goal scorers are. They can be streaky and I think that was a big goal for him."
Strangely enough, while the Flames have to make strides at home, the same can be said for what the Maple Leafs have to do on the road. They started off right last night with a 4-2 win over the Oilers in Edmonton. The Leafs are 10-8-4 but have a dismal 2-5-4 road record. This road trip out West should help the young stars gel and give them a sense of commraderie yet to be experienced in the young squads' NHL experience.
"It probably wasn't our prettiest win, but we're very happy to kick this road trip off with two points," said Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly to reporters after the win. That victory snapped Toronto's three-game losing streak on teh road. In the friendly atmosphere of the Air Canada Centre, where they have an impressive 8-3-0 record.
Even though the team has a sub-.500 record on the road, Rielly was looking forward to Toronto's trip out West to play the Oilers, Flames and Vancouver Canucks, who they'll faceoff against on Saturday night at the Rogers Arena.
"I just really look forward to it," Rielly told media. "When the league releases our schedule, that's the first thing I look for — when we go out west. It's home. I spent a fair bit of time on the Prairies."
Rielly was born in Vancouver and played three seasons for the Moose Jaw Warriors of the Western Hockey League before going pro in 2013. "I like going on the road in general," Rielly said. "We have a chance to play some huge games on the road, try to get some points and improve our road record."
The main matchup to watch for is Mark Giordano vs. Mitch Marner. His hometown team should inspire captain Giordano, whose team has not had a good start this year. Now that the Oilers game is over the talk about Auston Matthews taking on fellow No. 1 overall pick Connor McDavid is over and the focus will go back on Marner, who is currently battling for the NHL lead in rookie points and will probably be named rookie of the month for November.
Toronto will probably have Jhonas Enroth in goal who has not been stellar, he had rebound trouble in New Jersey last week and was one of the reasons the Leafs lost their lead in the game and had to settle for an overtime point. If the Flames put Brian Elliott in over Chad Johnson, he'll want to reverse his seven straight losses that were caused by a basic lack of offence.
That's why the Flames will have to ignite their powerplay, they are currently the NHL's worst performing power play operation, with 10.4% effectiveness. On the road, the Leafs went into Edmonton at almost 30%, so that's bad news for Calgary's PK group who also has not been killing penalties effectively.
Calgary will have to get more goals, since they have won seven one-goal games, compared to the Leafs' three. Toronto scores early and often, and is getting better protecting leads, so Calgary has to shut them down. How? They'll have to rely on defenceman Dougie Hamilton who leads Calgary with 10 assists, and was its highest scorer against the Leafs last season with three points in two games, to lead the march, score then shut it down.
Can they do it? The Leafs just look too hot, and should put out the Flames.
Prediction: Leafs over Flames, 5-2

Q: Slick 2.0.0 : How to write to MySQL DB a date and time data expressed in UTC timezone? I cannot figure out how to write a date and time data to MySQL. I've read about mappings, but I cannot find clear examples... The ones I found are on Slick 1.0 and I cannot import the classes they used in those examples, possibly due to refactoring in Slick 2.0.0 (I'm going crazy!)
Could anybody please write a clear example for me (including all the imports)
I'm using jodatime in my code. My requirements are:
jodatime with UTC -> any Slick 2.0 aware date and time with UTC representation and back
Thanks in advance

A: java.sql.Date and java.sql.Time are supported out of the box.
There is third-party support for Joda:

All Cases Judges Court Data Beyond the Court Court in Review Events
Week 2 in Ayodhya
By Srujana Bej, Jai Brunner|Posted On 20th August 2019
Since 6 August, the Supreme Court has been hearing the Ayodhya matter on a daily basis. To help you keep up, we have created a short summary of proceedings (Click here for Weeks 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10)
The case is a set of appeals to the 2010 Allahabad High Court judgment that divided the land title equally among the Nirmohi Akhara, Lord Ram and the Sunni Waqf Board. In week 2, the court exclusively heard suit number 5, Lord Ram's suit. Senior advocate CS Vaidyanathan attempted to establish that the Hindu belief that the site is Ram's birthplace pre-dates the construction of a mosque.
CS Vaidyanathan spent a significant amount of time, on 14 and 16 August, taking the court through the documentary evidence. He sought to establish that Hindus had constructed a temple at least three centuries prior to the construction of a mosque. Here are some highlights:
The Archaeological Survey of India's (ASI) 2003 report found evidence of a large public structure during the Shunga dynasty, 2nd Century BCE. CS Vaidyanathan argued that it was very likely a religious structure dedicated to Lord Ram. The bench questioned whether he had sufficient evidence to advance this claim.
The ASI report documents evidence of pillar bases dating to the 11th and 12th Century BCE, which it identifies as indicative of a large temple. Using this evidence, CS Vaidyanathan disputed the claim that the Babri Masjid (16th Century) was built on vacant land.
The British merchant William Finch's early 17th century travel accounts do not describe a mosque
The Jesuit missionary Joseph Tiefenthaler, who was in India in the 18th Century, references accounts of Emperor Akbar ordering the construction of a mosque on top of a demolished temple.
Often times, CS Vaidyanathan would rely on historical accounts to establish Hindu belief, rather than establish a detailed account of when certain structures were constructed or demolished. For example, when presenting the 19th Century British surveyor Martin Montgomery's accounts, he stressed that what they demonstrate is that Hindus believed that the site was of special significance.
Possession or access?
On 13 August, CS Vaidyanathan argued that as the site is a juridical entity it cannot be possessed. He attempted to reframe the issue as being about who could access the site. He also criticized the 2010 Allahabad High Court judgment, submitting that a deity could not be divided.
Disputing the Sunni claim
CS Vaidyanathan disputed the Sunni Waqf Board's claim of exclusive and continuous access, on 13 August. First, he submitted that at no point did Hindus lose access to the disputed site. Justice Bobde emphasised the distinction between access and possession. Second, CS Vaidyanathan submitted that daily namaz only took place during 1856 to 1934. His suggestion was that the Board could not claim exclusive, continuous possession, if daily prayers were not being observed.

Q: How to filter for nearby geometries I want to create a subset of census data for nearby political boundaries. For example, with zip code 17954, how do I filter a data frame containing all zip codes in the US to just zip codes within a 10 mile radius?
I would be using tigris, dyplr I believe for this. From documentation it seems I should use the st_filter() command to do so.
states = c(unique(FoodAccessResearchAtlasData2019$State))

state_list = vector("list", length = length(states))
for (i in 1:length(states)){
#tigris command cd=TRUE doesn't seem to work with year command, so this function suffices that
  dat = zctas(state = states[i], year = 2010)
  state_list[[i]] = dat
}
#combining into one large zip code data frame
zipcodes =  do.call(rbind, state_list)

nearby_zips = zipcodes %>%
  st_filter(zipcodes$ZCTA5CE10[17603], #this is what I imagine is the point to filter from
 ..predicate = st_is_within_distance,  #honestly just copying from the documentation
 dist = 10)                            #is within 10 miles, I don't know the base unit for the dist command


In the United States there are three national credit bureaus which account for the majority of the credit reports produced and used by lenders and others who have a permissible purpose to use credit reports. The 3 bureaus, also called consumer reporting agencies, are Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. From the thousands of small independent credit bureaus that existed in this country in the 1970's and 80's, it has come down to three credit bureau systems that store the information on most every American and are used for millions of credit transaction per year.
The 3 bureau credit report is a combination of the credit information from each of the three bureaus either merged into one report, like a mortgage credit report, or as a 3 bureau infile credit report, where the credit bureaus are not merged or combined, but shown as they come from the 3 separate credit agencies.
A three bureau report is considered the best credit report available because it covers the widest number of sources for its credit information. That is why the 3 bureau report is almost always used in mortgage transactions, such as to buy or refinance real estate, because home mortgage transactions are usually the highest dollar value and expose lenders to the greatest risk. So lenders want the best possible product to support the loan. As a result, both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, who control most of the mortgages in this county specify a 3 bureau credit report as part of their loan underwriting requirements in order to get the best possible information on the payment history and potential risk of the loan applicant.
Consumers should check all 3 credit reports at least once a year, if not more often. Checking your report not only keeps you up to date with changes in your report at all three bureaus, it also helps you to discover inaccurate items in your report that may need to be disputed. Plus checking your credit reports may alert you to the early signs of identity theft if you see unusual things in your report, like addresses that are not yours, inquiries into your credit report that you did not initiate, and new accounts opened that you did not open. Lastly, if you are actively applying for credit, by reviewing your 3 bureau credit report before you applying, you can be prepared to explain previous credit issues that may otherwise harm your chances to get the loan you want, or the apartment, or even the job you are seeking.
Three bureau credit reports do not include scores. Scores are not stored by the credit bureaus. Scores are computed in real time based on the credit information contained in your credit report. However, both consumers and lenders have access to scores including credit scores based on the data from each of the 3 credit bureaus that make up a 3 bureau report. For more on scores.
Q. How are 3 bureau credit reports merged?
A. Credit information from the 3 bureaus may be merged in several different ways depending on the request of the lender. For example, The merged credit report may list all your credit accounts with the individual information from each of the 3 bureaus stacked under the account name. This is called list and stack. Or the information from the 3 bureaus may be merged by credit account number so that there only is one line below the account name. This is called a merged tradeline. Or the credit report containing all 3 bureaus may take either the most current information reported by a bureau for each account and just list the most current tradeline below each account number. Or the merged report may list the credit information reported by the bureau that shows the most derogatory information from the three credit agencies. Certainly there are arguments for different presentation of the merged report, but ultimately it depends on what the lender requires.
Q. What is a 3 bureau infile credit report?
A. Infile reports do not have additional information added to them outside of the information that comes from the three repositories, i.e. the three bureaus. For example if the credit bureau does not have your mortgage loan in their database, it is not normally added to an infile.
Q. What is a 3 bureau merged infile?
A. 3 bureau merged infiles take the credit data as it comes from the bureaus and merges in a method like the list and stack method explained above.
Q. Are there 3 bureau credit reports that include my spouse's credit too?
A. Mortgage credit reports oftentimes merge the credit from both spouses into one report that contains credit information for both spouse from all 3 credit bureaus.
Q. Are there more than 3 bureaus?
A. There are companies such as Corelogic and Innovis who are like credit bureaus in that they too store credit related information on consumers. Information from such companies will likely be more used as time goes on.
Q. Where can I get my 3 credit reports separately?
A. Once a year consumers can get each of their credit reports separately for free from https://www.annualcreditreport.com1.
Q. What is a 1 Bureau Credit Report?
A. A 1 bureau credit report lists all of your credit from just one of three national credit reporting agencies (Experian , Equifax, and Trans Union). 1 bureau credit reports are also known as single bureau credit reports, or one agency credit reports, or single bureau credit reports.
