Washington, D.C. – Philip Shelton, president of Shelton Construction, Inc. in Decatur, Alabama, has been named the 2015 Graduate Master Builder of the Year by the National Association of Home Builders at the International Builders Show in Las Vegas, NV. The Home Builders Association of Alabama nominated Shelton for the award.
The ultimate symbol of the building professional, the Graduate Master Builder (GMB) designation is for experienced builders only, requiring a minimum of 10 years of building experience and successful completion of other designation courses; these courses require a significant time commitment and allow graduates to gain a more complete knowledge of all facets of the home building industry.
With a membership of 140,000 builders in the U.S., the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) offers educational courses through their Home Builders Institute for those members who strive to continue their building education and to be on the cutting edge of the latest technologies. One of the reasons Shelton was selected for the honor is his on-going commitment to the building profession through education and leadership.
The first education tier of the NAHB includes the Certified Graduate Builder and Certified Graduate Remodeler designations. The Graduate Master Builder and Graduate Master Remodeler for builders and remodelers, respectively, are the highest levels offered. Both of these top designations require the successful completion of advanced courses in their fields of specialty, a minimum of 10 years of building experience in the two areas, and proof of proper licensing and insurance. Continuing education is required to maintain all of these certifications. Shelton has earned each of these four certifications as well as additional specialty designations as a Certified Green Professional for a concentration in energy efficient and green building and as a Certified Aging In-Place Specialist for educational programs concerned with building and remodeling to accommodate people's needs as they grow older and for those with disabilities.
In business since 1993, Shelton is a licensed home builder for residential construction and licensed as a general contractor for commercial construction. He works with clients in Decatur, Athens, Huntsville, Madison and surrounding areas of North Alabama. Shelton is recognized as a leader by his peers. In 2011, the Home Builders Association of Alabama named Shelton the Remodeler of Year. In addition, he was the winner of the Best in Show for the 2009 Alabama Remodeling Excellence awards and has earned nine first place Alabama Remodeling Excellence awards. He has been elected president of the Greater Morgan County Builders Association (GMCBA) three times and was named Remodeler of the Year for 2009‐2012 and 2014 by that organization. Shelton serves on the advisory board for the Better Business Bureau of North Alabama, on the board of directors for the GMCBA and the Home Builders Association of Alabama, and is a member of the Huntsville-Madison County Home Builders Association.
The National Association of Home Builders is a Washington-based trade association, representing more than 140,000 members involved in home building, remodeling, multifamily construction, property management, subcontracting, design, housing finance, building product manufacturing and other aspects of residential and light commercial construction. NAHB is affiliated with 800 state and local home builders associations around the country. NAHB's builder members will construct about 80 percent of the new housing units projected for this year.

Q: Trouble sending email in iOS 7 using MFMailComposeViewController I have a very simple app to test sending email, but the email never arrives.  I have included the MessageUI framework in the app, and implemented the MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate as well.  The two methods in the app are as follows:
- (IBAction)showEmail:(id)sender
{
    // Email Subject
    NSString *emailTitle = @"Test Email";
    // Email Content
    NSString *messageBody = @"iOS programming is so fun!";
    // To address
    NSArray *toRecipents = [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"email@address.com"];

    MFMailComposeViewController *mc = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
    mc.mailComposeDelegate = self;
   [mc setSubject:emailTitle];
   [mc setMessageBody:messageBody isHTML:NO];
   [mc setToRecipients:toRecipents];

   // Present mail view controller on screen
   [self presentViewController:mc animated:YES completion:NULL];

}
and the delegate method:
- (void) mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError *)error
{
    switch (result)
    {
        case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
            NSLog(@"Mail cancelled");
            break;
        case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
            NSLog(@"Mail saved");
            break;
        case MFMailComposeResultSent:
            NSLog(@"Mail sent");
            break;
        case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
            NSLog(@"Mail sent failure: %@", [error localizedDescription]);
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }

    // Close the Mail Interface
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}

When I press the email button in my app the first method works perfectly and when I click the send button that is presented, the "Mail Sent" message appears in the log.  The email simply never arrives.
Everything seems to work as advertised, with the exception of the email never arriving at its destination.
I am running this on the iPad not in the simulator, and I have a good network connection.
What am I missing?

A: Well apparently this was an email configuration problem with the iPad itself.  After a reboot of the device the above code works perfectly.  I absolutely hate this kind of problem.

A: Use the canSendMail method.
Use the following code to check if a device mail configuration is setup or not. Otherwise your app will crash.
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail])
{
    // Create and show the MailComposeViewController
}
else
{
    // Show No mail account set up on device.
}

Actor Jussie Smollett has reported an attack by two unknown assailants in the early hours of January 29th in Chicago, Illinois. The men allegedly yelled racial and homophobic slurs at him, punched him, poured an unknown chemical substance on him, and wrapped a rope around his neck while shouting "This is MAGA country", referencing President Trump's slogan, Make America Great Again.
Smollett is a very talented actor, singer, director, and photographer. He currently plays the role of a gay musician in the Fox drama series Empire.
The rope was no doubt intended to conjure up recollections of lynchings, which were racially motivated acts of hate used more than 100 years ago through the mid 20th century in this country to keep African-Americans from claiming their civil rights.
A hate crime is a criminal act motivated by bias against the victim's race, color, religion, or national origin. In some states additional classes are protected including sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and disability . A few states' hate crimes also cover age, political affiliation and homelessness. Forty-five states and the District of Columbia have hate crime statutes. Typically they elevate the level of a crime when the perpetrator is motivated by prejudice. This increases the penalties. For example, in New York a hate crime is deemed to be one level higher than the offense committed. Thus, an assault that results in an injury that isn't permanent or prolonged (for example, a broken arm) is a misdemeanor with a maximum jail sentence of one year and a fine of $1,000. If however the defendant was motivated by hate of one of the protected classes, the crime elevates to a felony with potential jail time expanding to two to four years, potential fines increasing to $5,000.
The reason these criminal acts are treated more harshly is that, not only is the victim injured, but also many in the community are offended, and left feeling fearful, violated and vulnerable. Such crimes also spark dangerous and damaging reprisals, sometimes violent, from the victimized community and others.
The federal government enacted in 2009 a hate crime statute called the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Mathew Shepard was a student at the University of Wyoming targeted, at least in part because he was gay, for a brutal beating that resulted in his death. James Byrd, Jr. was an African American killed by white supremacists who tied him alive to the back of a truck and dragged him three miles over rough terrain.
The 2009 federal law added gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and disability to the classes protected by federal hate crime laws. Note: This was the first federal statute to provide protection to transgender people. Additionally, the federal statute authorizes the federal government to provide aid to states in the investigation and prosecution of hate crimes. Further, if a locality is unable or unwilling to prosecute a crime as a hate crime, federal law enforcement is now authorized to do so. The Hate Crimes Prevention Act also provides federal money to states to help underwrite the expenses of investigating and prosecuting hate crimes.
Note: Hate crimes do not outlaw hateful speech. Such commentary, short of violence or an incitement to immediate violence, is protected by the right of Free Speech in the Constitution.
Another Note: The legislature of each state determines a range of possible sentences for each crime. Typically the legislature provides a range of jail time including a minimum and a maximum. For the five states that do not have a hate crime statute, judges can impose sentences closer to the maximum when hate plays a role.
Why are hate crimes treated more seriously than other crimes?
Should additional classes of people be added to the list that elevates a crime to a hate crime? If so, what groups?
 The states without such a law are Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina, and Wyoming.
This feature needs an update based on the recent release from the Chicago PD that Mr. Smollett is no longer considered a victim of any crime. The rope was purchased at Ace Hardware, and the two "perpetrators" were hired by Mr. Smollett for $3500 plus expenses for their travel from Nigeria. One of the "perpetrators" had been an extra on Mr. Smollett's show. The Chicago PD investigation has shifted to one of false reporting, a crime that , if proved, would entitle the PD to recover for the costs of the investigation based on a false report.


Explore the highlights of New Zealand, from Auckland all the way south to Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound, this tour has something for everyone. You'll begin your journey with the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula. From there you'll travel south enjoying an amazing range of included activities along the way. Highlights of the North Island include snorkelling in the Coromandel Peninsula and a wine tour in the Hawkes Bay. In the south there is plenty of adventure and forays into the pristine South Island wilderness, including visits to three national parks.
As you leave the Auckland city boundary the landscape changes to lush farmland. You'll cross the fertile Hauraki Plains - one of New Zealand's largest dairy producing regions. Pass the Thames Estuary - a haven for wildlife and shore birds. Arriving into the old gold mining town of Thames, there are two different routes to the east coast of the Coromandel. Either directly over the Coromandel Ranges or north to Coromandel Township along the Pohutukawa Coast (part of the Pacific Coast Highway).
The short drive from Coromandel Township to Whitianga takes you via the scenic coastline of Whangapoua Harbour and the Kuaotuna beach. For beach lovers there are plenty of side roads to often deserted golden sand beaches and bays. Whitianga sits on Mercury Bay on the eastern coast of the Coromandel peninsular, Captain Cook arrived there in 1769 to observe the transit of Mercury and hence the bay was named. This small bustling town once played a major part in the kauri logging industry with over 150 million metres of timber being exported between 1830 and the end of the century. The Whitianga museum, housed in the old dairy factory displays an interesting collection designed to relay engrossing tales of the time. Today the town has a many cafes and craft shops with its income derived mainly from tourists. The summer months bring visitors to enjoy fishing, surfcasting and swimming along the palm fringed beaches. But the largest attraction is probably the big game marlin fishing with many charters available to hunt in the rich waters of the Pacific Ocean. On the other side of the harbour is Australasia's oldest stone wharf from where a passenger ferry takes visitors to the delightful Cooks Beach just a 5 minute walk along the road. Nearby is Buffalo Beach, named after H.M.S. Buffalo, a ship taking convicts and settlers to South Australia that blew aground in 1840.
Heading south from the Coromandel Peninsula you pass through the seaside town of Whangamata - a popular location for Kiwi holidaymakers and home to one of the best beaches in the region. Next you come to the old mining town of Waihi which still has an operating open cast gold mine (Martha Mine) that can be viewed from a vantage point just above the town centre.
For rail enthusiasts the Goldfields Railway operates passenger trains along a scenic and historic section of track towards Waikino. The route now takes you into the Bay of Plenty and the port town of Tauranga before you head along the scenic Pyes Pa Road to Rotorua. For Lord of the Rings fans a detour to Matamata is recommended as this is the location of the Hobbiton film set. Arriving into Rotorua from the north you are welcomed by the spectacular view of the lake.
Discover the delights of Hawke's Bay on this 4-5 hour afternoon winery tour. You'll visit 4 local wineries including the oldest vineyard in New Zealand. You'll have the chance to taste award winning wines, learn about the winemaking process and the history of the region. Take a tour of the Church Road Wine Museum, the only one of its kind in new Zealand and home to over 3000 years of paraphernalia dating back 3000 years. Explore the old wine vats, study the wax figures and discover the 'cuve' room. Following the tour you'll return to Napier via the famous Oak Avenue on the outskirts of Hastings.


SPECIAL EVENTS for cello and piano is certainly a continuation of my earlier compositional approach. I usually do a lot of pre-compositional sketching and planning, but in the case of SPECIAL EVENTS I received a commission from the the German American Institute in Heidelberg at the instigation of Dorthea von Albrecht and Christine Olbrich, who had been performing and recording my MUSIC FOR CELLO AND PIANO (1955) and appreciated it very much. So, that is how the commission came about and they are two marvelous musicians.
I was traveling a great deal at this time and writing in hotels and on airplanes in Europe and in the United States. So, I really just composed this new work en voyage and very much spontaneously and "off the top of my head: and from a long time of compositional experience.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The gleam of molten metal rivers through Norbert Peshlakai's veins.
The winner of countless ribbons at both the Santa Fe Indian Market and the Heard Museum Indian Fair, this silver master stars in his first one-man show at Santa Fe's Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian opening Sunday, May 13.
The artist made his first silver pot in the early 1970s. He makes his own stamps (so far, he boasts more than 300) from concrete nails. He developed his own style of textures and overlays.
Countless critters scamper across his pottery and jewelry: Mimbres figures, dogs, cats, quail, owls, deer, goats and fish. His often whimsical pieces spill over with imagination.
Some designs resemble intricate mazes of figures and textures. Others incorporate stones and gold.
The rounded silver seed pots provided some shaping challenges. At first they collapsed. Through trial and error, Peshlakai learned to shape two cup forms from flat sheets of silver, then solder the halves together, leaving no trace of a line.
A single animal involves several stamps, he said; one for the body, another for the face, the ears, the eyes and the legs.
Peshlakai's trademark Cowboy Slim figure was born in the early 1980s, often surrounded by a swirl of horses and horseshoes.
The result was a cowgirl with curly hair cascading from her hat.
His "Peyote Dream" seed pot features a hallucinating face bookended by soaring birds and peyote buttons.
Sometimes regular customers ask for commissions, like "Woof's Catch," a dog catching a Frisbee.
He's already working on his Indian Market pieces, including a pin of a woman driving a pickup, her dog's ears soaring in the wind.
A graduate of Albuquerque's Highland High School, Peshlakai attended what is now Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kan.
A misunderstanding with an adviser landed him in a commercial house painting class, complete with overalls and a pail, instead of the painting class he wanted. All of the arts classes were full, except for a jewelry class, so he signed up to fulfill his credits.
He never took the jewelry class seriously, disliked soldering and had been skipping class when his teacher Clint Leon confronted him.
"He came up to me and said, 'I miss you in class; you're failing'," Peshlakai said.
Leon told his student to bring his sketchbook, learn all the basic tools and create six pieces of jewelry. The teacher then photographed all of the student work and invited Peshlakai to look into the camera lens. The artist finally spotted his own nascent talent.

The Rear Motor Mount (aka RMM) found in your 10th Gen Honda Civic, and most any transverse mounted engines, is probably one of the most underrated performance parts you can add to your vehicle. I say that because changing this one part can have a significant effect to your Civic's throttle response, torque steer, and traction.
In this first design breakdown we want to dissect the OEM Civic RMM design then go into the design and theory of the 27WON Performance RMM.
The OEM rear engine mount as found on a 2017+ Honda Civic SI, All the 10th gen models utilize this style of mount.
Above we see the OEM design found on all the 10th GEN Civics; Civic SI Sedan & Coupe, Civic Hatchback Sport, Civic EX & LX, and even the Civic Type-R. The design and construction of the OEM rear motor mount is pretty typical in the modern vehicle. There is a rigid body manufactured from cast aluminum with two ends designed to hold an elastic damping material and rigid pin or sleeve for fastening.
The next image of the OEM RMM gives us a clear view of the large end damper. This is constructed of a formed (or vulcanized) rubber bushing with the fastening sleeve embedded in the rubber. This bushing is then pressed into the rigid aluminum body for a relatively quick and simple manufacturing process. Now most importantly are the large open voids you see in the bushing. These are specifically design to reduce the amount of vibration transmitted from the engine into the vehicle chassis and eventually the passenger compartment.
What those large open voids also result in is a very soft RMM that numbs throttle response, reduces traction and helps induce torque steer. If you haven't figured it out yet or don't know; the engines in modern cars move and pivot in the engine bay A LOT; and the Honda Civic is no exception.
Now I would like to introduce the 27WON Performance RMM for your Honda Civic.
The difference is drastic to say the least. Now I can't let all the design details out right now as we are still in the prototyping phase of the project, but I can go over some of the theory behind the 27WON RMM. First off let me point out that the above two images are both shown in the orientation that they would be installed in the Civic. This is important to understand for the next paragraph.
Second, you'll notice that the 27WON RMM completely eliminates one of the OE bushings, the large one to be exact. This is done for a very specific reason to increase feedback and reduce Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH). We will get more into that exact design theory in the next blog.
Third, the rigid body is billet aluminum with the signature 27WON orange anodized finish (just wait till you see the MAF sensor housing in the 27WON Cold Air Intake System! We also utilize a polyurethane bushing and steel fastening sleeve. As mentioned before, we are still in the prototyping phase so we have not determined the ideal stiffness of the bushing, but experience tells me we will end up around 90A durometer as it usually provides the best balance of feedback and NVH.
So, why do you need a performance RMM? To get the absolute most out of your Honda Civic and the many performance modifications you put into it, plain and simple.
Stay tuned with 27WON Performance for the next update on the Performance RMM for your Honda Civic.

using auto-sequence to order chords: part 1
slippery chicken's automatic chord sequencing algorithm creates an ordering for a set-palette's sets (or chords) based on user-given dissonance and spectral centroid envelopes. The terms set and chord here will be used interchangeably to mean essentially the same thing (a collection of pitches to be used harmonically), though in both music theory and in slippery chicken's object-oriented programme design they are different (e.g. in slippery chicken the chord class is the superclass of the sc-set class, which, as you might expect, has more functionality than chord).
In this context and elsewhere in slippery chicken, an envelope is an arbitrary length list of x,y breakpoint pairs. For sequencing purposes, the x-axis ranges over the number of sets in the palette, though any arbitrary range can be passed by the user and it will be stretched/compressed to fit. The envelopes' y-axis ranges should be 0.0 to 1.0 only; this will then be stretched to fit the range of dissonance and centroid values to be found by analysis of the palette's sets. For a description of a set or chord's dissonance or spectral centroid see below and/or calculate-spectral-centroid or calculate-dissonance.
The envelopes themselves describe a desired general tendency to, for example, proceed from less dissonant to more dissonant sets as the ordering (sequence) of sets proceeds. Such an envelope would move from lower to higher values, for example. Similarly with the spectral centroid envelope: moving from a lower to a higher value implies moving from sets with an overall lower pitch height to sets with a higher pitch height—or more accurately expressed, spectral energy.
Also taken into account when sequencing is the lowest pitch of the set. If :repeating-bass is NIL (the default) then the function tries to avoid repeating bass pitches in two consecutive sets. For rather traditional but, for me at least, still valid harmonic purposes this is deemed in most cases undesirable (repeating bass pitches tend to stagnate a progression). On the other hand, repeating highest pitches are always allowed.
the successive approach
The default method for creating this ordering from envelopes is what we might call successive. This means that we find the set which is closest to the two curves at any given point without considering whether that set would be best used elsewhere. This usually works fairly well; it's also the method used in my jitterbug project, for which the algorithm was developed.
The successive approach selects sets via a sort function which compares their characteristics to those of the current envelope values. Essentially, when we are comparing two sets via the sort function we look at the deviation between the sets' dissonance values and the current desired dissonance value as taken from the given envelope; we then apply the same process to the spectral centroid and its envelope. The set with the smallest combined deviation will be chosen. If either envelope is nil, then the sorting is based on the other envelope only. Similarly, weighting factors of any arbitrary positive number can be passed via :dissonance-weight and :centroid-weight to emphasise or deemphasise these properties when sorting using both envelopes. Higher values result in that property taking precedence over the other property.
The advantage of this method is that it is relatively quick. The disadvantage is that it tends to find the best fits at the beginning of the process but as it proceeds along the envelope and we run out of sets to select from, the fit can become worse and worse. Of course, this depends on the number and characteristics of the sets as well as the envelope shapes.
the permutation approach
An alternative method, as indicated by the :permutate keyword, is to get all (or at least a lot of) permutations of the sets in the palette and then score each ordering against the curves, as a form of fitness test. The advantage of this approach is that the best solution overall can be found, i.e. it's not blind to what's coming, like the successive method. The disadvantage is that given a large number of sets to sequence, we either have to accept comparing less permutations and thus missing the best fit (which the successive method may well return) or wait a fairly long time, depending on your computing resources, for the routine to search and score all possibilities. I should note though that on my Mid 2015 Macbook, searching all 362880 permutations (9 factorial) of a 9-set palette still only takes a couple of seconds.
In any case, with either method there is no guarantee that the desired curves will be expressed exactly in the returned ordering. The routine tries to find the best fit but the success depends very much on the nature and number of sets as well as the envelopes and other data passed.
dissonance calculation
A chord or set's dissonance is calculated using a roughness calculation model which has been perceptually verified by its inventor, Pantelis N. Vassilakis. When sequencing, we use the set pitches' theoretical spectral data to sum the roughness of sine pairs up to, by default, the first 12 partials of each pitch, i.e. every partial of every pitch is calculated in relation to all other pitches' partials, taking their amplitudes into account. The number of partials used can be changed via the :num-partials keyword argument to the calculate-dissonance method.
By default, but user-switchable, a spectrum-averaging method is used in order to avoid some of the vagaries of the spectral data. As there can be considerable variation in analyses between performances of the same pitch or pitches in close proximity, the average spectrum of any pitch is taken by placing it at the centre of an octave of spectral data and calculating the numerical mean for each partials' frequency and amplitude values.
A different method of averaging can also be used. Any spectral data created by analysis within slippery chicken (such as the akoustik-piano and violin-ensemble data) will always average spectra attained by analysis at three points within the source sound file. These are 300, 400, and 500 milliseconds by default, thus the starting onset transient—with all the concomitant percussive and other inharmonic spectral components common to many instruments, pitched or not—is skipped.
piano by default
Unless instructed otherwise, the calculation returns the dissonance of a set as if it were played on the piano. slippery chicken includes two sets of piano spectral data as well as violin ensemble data. (A comparison of piano and violin spectra is made in part two of this post.) Other data sets can be used if supplied by the caller.
Data does not have to be available for every pitch in the whole range of the sets as the method will use the nearest pitch data whenever a pitch is found missing in the spectral data supplied. The slippery chicken file spectra.lsp contains the functionality and a description of how to use and create your own spectral data, as well as the default data.
Whichever spectra we use when performing the calculation, the roughness created by every desired partial of every set pitch in relation to all other pitches' partials is calculated, taking their amplitudes into account of course.
dissonance examples
The following examples illustrate the spectrally informed dissonance calculation technique. If we were doing a simple intervallic dissonance calculation then the two chords C Major and D Major would return the same dissonance values. Because we take a spectral approach, where the relative strength of the pitches' partials and their place in the audible spectrum play roles, the D Major chord (set 2 below), being a tone higher, has a slightly lower dissonance value (0.41) than C major (0.48) in the same octave (set 1). This makes abundantly and immediately clear that the results are dependent on pitch height or register.
This is seen more extremely by comparing the same C major chord in the fourth octave (set 1: 0.48) with the same in the third (5: 1.27) and second octaves (4: 1.73). Dissonance levels are significantly higher in the lower octaves due to strong partial interference in lower, clearly audible parts of the spectrum. This is borne out in the practice of classical chord voicing: triads are unlikely to be found in close position in lower octaves, whether in the piano, orchestra, or any other ensemble.
What the example contradicts is the common assertion that minor triads are more dissonant than major. This is usually explained as arising from interference in the minor triad between the fifth partial of the fundamental (a major third) and the octave partials of the minor third. The difference here is not so striking but still, C Minor's value (3) is 0.47 whereas C major's (1) is 0.48.
A more surprising, or perhaps even questionable result for some, is the lower dissonance value (0.82) for the fourth-octave C Major Major 7th chord (6) than for a simple C Major triad an octave lower (5: 1.27). Similarly surprising (or is it?) is that the last fourth-octave atonal chord (7) has a dissonance value of 1.74, this being only very slightly higher than the simple C Major triad in the second octave (4: 1.73). This is all piano data though:
(loop for chord in '((c4 e4 g4)
(d4 fs4 a4)
(c4 ef4 g4)
(c2 e2 g2)
(c4 e4 g4 b4)
(c4 e4 g4 b4 cs4))
collect (calculate-dissonance (make-chord chord) :num-partials 12))
(0.479236669842893d0 0.4120519033679814d0 0.46821850015425676d0
1.7258937394522205d0 1.2686772397038624d0 0.8219314929076079d0
1.741925271398224d0)
These values change of course if we switch to the violin spectra and redo the calculations:
set                   piano  violin
1: (c4 e4 g4)         0.48   0.59
2: (d4 fs4 a4)        0.41   0.57
3: (c4 ef4 g4)        0.47   0.63
4: (c2 e2 g2)         1.73   1.5
6: (c4 e4 g4 b4)      0.82   1.05
7: (c4 e4 g4 b4 cs4)  1.74   2.29
We see significant variation here. Most striking is that the C Minor triad (3: 0.63) is now more dissonant than the major (1: 0.59). The C Major Major 7th chord (6) is also now more dissonant (1.05) than the C Major triad an octave lower (5: 0.82). This perhaps tallies more with expectations informed by the rules of functional tonal harmony. Similarly the last atonal chord (7: 2.29) is now significantly more dissonant than the second octave C Major triad (4: 1.5). However some things remain the same: the C Major triads still become very much more dissonant as they move down from octave 4 to 3 to 2.
What does all this tell us? That the calculations are arbitrary and therefore not reliable? Not at all, in my view. On the contrary, it tells us that dissonance is a function of spectral qualities and interactions and that these will vary from instrument to instrument. A conventional theory of functional or even atonal harmony obfuscates that a little, with an over-concentration on intervals at the expense of timbre and register. It also tells us perhaps that the overtone structure of the violin, being bowed, is more harmonic than the percussive piano spectra (whose strings, as they become higher, act more like rods and less like strings, thus making the harmonics more inharmonic).
spectral centroid calculation
This concept is of course borrowed from digital signal processing (DSP). The spectral centroid calculation, when applied to an audio signal, usually involves a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). It's therefore perhaps a little strange to calculate the theoretical spectral centroid of pitch data alone—questionable even, given that we will not be taking into account any phase information and thus ignoring possible partial cancelling or attenuation. Neither will we be using the FFT. Nevertheless I think we get a good indication of the pitch height of a set or chord via this method.
As with the dissonance calculation, piano spectral data are used by default, as are 12 partials. Both of these can be changed via their respective keyword arguments when the method is called. We assume that all pitches of a set are played at the same dynamic (to the extent that this is encoded in the spectral data at least). The method returns the centroid in Hertz via a simple averaging technique which involves summing the multiple of partial frequencies by their amplitudes before dividing by the sum of the partial amplitudes alone. We can immediately see the calculation in action on two very similar sets, the second of which has one extra pitch, a minor third above the first's highest pitch:
(calculate-spectral-centroid (make-chord '(fs3 c4 cs4 d4 ds4 e4)))
—> 596.81
(calculate-spectral-centroid (make-chord '(fs3 c4 cs4 d4 ds4 e4 g6)))
As we might expect, the spectral centroid rises by a statistically significant amount when we add the higher pitch. What might not be quite so expected is how low a pitch we'd have to add to this second set in order to take the centroid back close to the first set's value. Thinking purely intervallically, we might imagine that adding D#3 might suffice, that is, because we added a pitch a minor third above the highest pitch, then adding one a minor third below the lowest might balance things out. The result of this however shows just how wrong such intervallic thinking is here.
(calculate-spectral-centroid (make-chord '(ds3 fs3 c4 cs4 d4 ds4 e4 g6)))
—>634.14
Thinking spectrally—especially with regards to the piano and other instruments perhaps, where as we go lower and lower in range the fundamentals tend to grow weaker with respect to the higher partials—it becomes clear that we'd have to add a significantly lower pitch in order to bring the spectral centroid to about the same value as the original set's. In this particular case we have to add G2, a whole major 7th below the former lowest pitch in order to accomplish this:
(calculate-spectral-centroid (make-chord '(g2 fs3 c4 cs4 d4 ds4 e4 g6)))

Police nabs one Jacques Calvin Eyafa who was impersonating Samuel Mvondo Ayolo
A suspected scammer was recently arrested by police forces. The suspect, Jacques Calvin Eyafa, 49, was impersonating the Director of the Civil Cabinet (DCC) of the Presidency of the Republic of Cameroon, Samuel Mvondo Ayolo (photo). He was presented to the press on Monday, May 10 in Yaoundé.
According to reports, he is suspected to have defrauded businessmen and personalities in the chancelleries and organizations attached to the United Nations. He even tried to defraud the President of Niger. The truth was uncovered thanks to a letter sent by the DCC to the regional delegate for National Security (DGSN), Martin Mbarga Nguele.
"On May 4, 2021, the DGSN was notified through a letter from the Presidency of the Republic, informing that using a certain telephone number, someone called the Nigerien head of state claiming that he is the director of the civil cabinet and that he was acting on instructions from President Paul Biya who wanted to talk with his Nigerien counterpart. The Nigerien president decided to verify the claim and we realized that it was neither the director of the civil cabinet nor the Cameroonian Head of State," Judicial Police Officer Vincent de Paul Meva told CRTV.
During investigations, police officers found out that the signal from the cell phone number was coming from the Yaoundé central prison. The suspect was operating right from his Kondengui prison cell, where he was imprisoned since July 2019, because of similar criminal offenses.
Police forces then raided his cell and he confessed. The latter revealed that he was expecting a XAF195 million bank transfer from an American NGO he successfully duped.
Let's note that identity (public figures and officials' notably) theft is on the rise. This is not the first time Samuel Mvondo Ayolo is being impersonated by scammers. On April 2, 2020, the official sent a letter to the director-general of the National Agency for Information & Communication Technologies (ANTIC) instructing him to track (in collaboration with competent authorities) all the identity thieves on social media.
Last year, the ANTIC revealed that between 2018 and 2019, it discovered 3,388 fake social media accounts, most of which were impersonating high-ranking officials.

basketball, soccer, running, architecture, cars, Lego alternates.
I would agree with you, but Simon has a good point that having them there could serve a purpose to users who organize their collections differently. Maybe someday there could be an option to include or exclude the box alternates in settings.
One small fix that would be easy to make is to change what is listed as an alternate build for a certain set on that set's page. For example, with 31059 Sunset Street Bike, the Official B-models are counted as alternate builds. So on the set's "alternate builds" tab, it says that there are 10 alternate builds, but in reality there are only 8 with 2 B-models. Again, this is only on the set's page, 31059 > alternate builds, not on the MOCs > alternate builds > Creator > 2016 tab. Going through the MOCs > alternate builds > Creator > 2016 the 31059 alternate builds are listed correctly as 8. The same is true for set 31027 Blue Racer. On 31027's page, it says there are 137 alternate builds, when in reality there are 134 alternates (plus one modification) and and two B-models. IMO all B-models should not be counted as alternate builds.
Thank you! That's fine; I could see that totally getting abused too.
IMO MOC designers having the ability to report (or even delete) comments on their creations would be a good improvement for this site. It would be very beneficial because it would allow the designer of a MOC to have some kind of control over what is posted on their creation. The admin already does a great job keeping the comments on rebrickable clean, but it would take it up a small notch if MOC designers were allowed to report or delete comments on their creations themselves.
Thank you. I would agree.
Can I get your opinion on this https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-13503/Turbo8702/75910-porsche-911/#comments please?
Ahh I see. I would agree the spam filters do come in handy in that regard. Do you know if there is a way for them to distinguish between regular comments and inappropriate ones?
Sometimes when I reply to a comment with a "Thank you!" or "Thanks! Glad you like it" I get a notification that says it's spam because too repetitive. I guess I've posted those comments too many times before? I think it would be good to somehow change the system to allow comments like "Thanks!" to be posted more often without getting marked as spam.
One thing I would really enjoy is the ability to add tags to a MOC before I submit it. As it is right now, I usually end up forgetting to go back to my MOC and add the tags. Not a drastic change, but it's one that I feel would come in handy for both myself and a lot of other users too.
Does anyone know why all of the most recent MOCs including my https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-10180/Turbo8702/5866-fighter-jet/#comments have 21350 views?
I did not receive a spare part 3623 (1x3 plate) in bright blue, but the inventory here says there should be one. Am I unlucky or is anyone else missing this part?

Anna Maria (Marie) Barchman Wuytiers-Blaauw (Amsterdam, 29 november 1865 – Hilterfingen, 10 maart 1944) was een Nederlands schilder en tekenaar. Ze signeerde haar werk als Marie Wuytiers.

Leven en werk
Marie Blaauw was een dochter van de Amsterdamse koopman Quirijn Blaauw (1827-1884) en jkvr. Francisca Ernestine Berg (1834-1903). Na het overlijden van haar vader werd een voogd aangesteld. In 1886 werd ze echter bij koninklijk besluit meerderjarig verklaard (de grens lag destijds op 23 jaar), waardoor ze zonder voogd kon handelen. Ze trouwde in 1890 met jhr. Daniel Barchman Wuytiers (1851-1927), lid van de familie Barchman Wuytiers. Mr. Maurits Jacob van Lennep beschrijft in zijn dagboeken dat hij hun receptie bezocht. Het echtpaar woonde in Den Haag, met tussenpozen in Amersfoort (1895-1899) en Hilversum (1918-1919).

Wuytiers kreeg les van de Haagse bloemschilderes Margaretha Roosenboom. Ze schilderde, tekende en aquarelleerde vooral (bloem)stillevens. Wuytiers was lid van Arti et Amicitiae en Sint Lucas. Ze exposeerde in binnen- en buitenland. Haar werk werd meerdere malen bekroond met een grand prix of gouden medaille, onder meer in Arcachon, Bordeaux en Toulouse.

In 1931, een aantal jaren na het overlijden van haar man, vestigde ze zich in Zwitserland. Ze overleed er in 1944, op 78-jarige leeftijd.
