An appeal to musicians
Posted on April 3, 2011 by Schütz
I wish I was more talented as a musician than I actually am.
The issue of the settings for the new mass came up at our parish this morning. The head of the music group announced that the parish was seeking a setting which would "suit the specific needs of our community". Afterward I asked her if she was aware of the standard chants that actually being printed in our new missals (all the chants and recordings can be accessed here; Dr Geoffrey Cox has written an organ accompaniment that has yet to be published). She wasn't.
The fact is that these chants are being provided as the universal "setting" for the new translation of the mass. They aren't designed to fit "the specific needs" of one given community, but of the whole English speaking Church. More than that, they are based on the actual chants for the Latin mass in the Third Typical Edition of the Roman Missal in Latin. In that sense, they are truly universal.
What concerns me is that a lot of parishes simply won't bother to learn them and to make them the standard "setting of the mass" in their "community". I have nothing against using other settings, I just think that it would be to the immense benefit of the whole Church if, as a whole, we had a way of singing the mass which was truly universal.
Many will find the chant setting "boring". That has been said pariticularly of the chant for the Gloria in Excelsis. And yet it is a very easy chant to learn, and, I think, quite beautiful in its simplicity (that should please some readers!).
Here's where I would like to make an appeal to the musicians out there – and to offer a challenge. Dr Cox's accompaniment to the chant will, I think, become a standard, and that's as it should be. But for variety, how about a few extra, more imaginative musical accompaniments to the chants that involve different kinds of settings and different kinds of instruments? I am thinking here of the many successful editions of various Gregorian chants you can get on CD's these days that include very modern, even jazzy, musical backgrounds? I think this could be done. The people don't have to learn new melody lines, but the musical accompaniment would provide the variety that they are looking for.
What do you think? If I were a proper musician, I would have a go at it myself. Any ideas from any readers who are musicians?
About Schütz
I am Catholic, married to Cathy, father of Maddy & Mia. Since 2002, I have been the Executive Officer of the Ecumenical & Interfaith Commission of the Archdiocese of Melbourne. I was once a Lutheran pastor, but a "year of grace" and soul-searching led me into the Catholic Church. It was a bumpy ride, but with the support of my (still Lutheran) wife, I was finally confirmed on June 16, 2003.

Chanting would make a change from the boring ,repetitive Hillsong inspired "hymns" i have to out up with at my church.
Uncle Pat says:
Talent as a musician is not required if one is to assess "church" music.
Watching Compass last night on the re-building of Bunbury cathedral reminded me that I didn't need talent as an artist to appreciate the new type of window paintings that adorned the walls of such a liturgically sensible building.
All I needed was to view them with an open mind and let them – inanimate though they be – let them speak to me.
We need to approach "church" music in the same way.
What the Pope and Bishop Elliott have said/written about "church" music is culture-bound. Their response to music is the result of their education/their social background/their way of hearing things/their emotional life.
It seems to me that when men and women are stretched, when I am stretched anyway, whether in prayer, in conflict, in sport, in love, indeed in any activity that involves getting deep inside oneself, we turn to music/singing to express that inner experience. Words fail us. As Bishop Tutu said when Apartheid ended in South Africa: "I want to laugh. I want to dance. I want to sing. I want to praise the Lord."
Poetry has been described by Willaim Wordsworth as the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings; it takes is origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.
This doesn't mean all Wordsworth's poems are pleasing to the ear or enlightening to the mind. And Wordsworth, I think, would find it hard to see most modern poetry as fitting his description
Music, like poetry, is an evolving art form. By all means preserve and modify the monastic chants of the past but please don't let them smother the efforts of our contemporary musicians and song/hymn writers as they try to convey the ineffable mysteries of our religion through their craft in a manner that expresses our desire to praise, reverence and serve God.
Alfredo Watkins says:
I think the less instruments the better!
Save maybe organ, because I play the organ. :-D
In all seriousness, to be honest, I find chant to be a generally wonderful change from the usual banality of the settings which they use in parishes in my area. It has a special place in the liturgy. Let me provide a few quotes from Sacrosanctum Concilium, since the constitution can probably say it better than I could:
"The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as specially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical services."
"Religious singing by the people is to be intelligently fostered so that in devotions and sacred exercises, as also during liturgical services, the voices of the faithful may ring out according to the norms and requirements of the rubrics."
"In the Latin Church the pipe organ is to be held in high esteem, for it is the traditional musical instrument which adds a wonderful splendor to the Church's ceremonies and powerfully lifts up man's mind to God and to higher things."
Of course each of these statements is open to genuine exception in some cases. But it seems that chant, sang by the faithful, accompanied by organ, should be the genuine norm. As you say, it should be universal.
John Nolan says:
If it's a sung Mass, then everything that can be sung, should be sung (although there is a case for reciting the Canon in a subdued voice.) If it's not, then no singing at all, please. And if you're going to sing chant settings of the common, sing them in Latin. This applies particularly to the Credo and Pater Noster. If you want to sing a hymn, sing it at he end. If it's 'Faith of our Fathers' we can all belt it out lustily. If it's 'I the Lord of Sea and Sky' the more discerning of us can make a dash for the exit.
Schütz says:
I disagree, John. The distinction between a "Low" (said) mass and a "High" (sung) mass was abolished years ago. There is no rule that says "sing all or nothing". Neither is there a rule banning hymns during mass. Entrance, Post-communion, and exit are all allowed in GIRM – although I see nothing wrong with a hymn at the offertory if taking up the collection will take a long time. As for the chant settings, the new missal provides them in both English and Latin. In other words, I respect your preferences in this matter, but that's all they are: your preferences.
David, while it's true that the NO does not distinguish between low and sung Mass, the sung Mass remains the norm. Bugnini's consilium argued that the singing of hymns at Mass was no longer appropriate as the Mass texts themselves should be sung. It might have been wishful thinking, but they surely envisaged a situation similar to that in the East where the liturgy is always sung.
The new translation gives more emphasis to sung dialogues between celebrant and people (including the Orate Fratres, which was never sung previously). There is a strong push by church musicians , particularly in the USA, to get the Propers sung – witness the Simple Propers Project. If we merely continue with the four-hymn sandwich, which is well past its sell-by date, we will be missing the best opportunity in two generations to implement the ideals of Sacrosanctum Concilium. This has nothing to do with personal preference.
However, there are people who for whatever reason, prefer a mass with no music, and their needs should be respected.
Long time readers of SCE will have heard me on this before, John. But here goes again:
I grew up in the Lutheran Church of Australia where the liturgy as a whole was generally chanted/sung in its entirety. In many places, the clergy couldn't chant, but this didn't stop the congregation singing their bits – even the responses to his spoken bits (which was a bit weird). In addition to this, there was a hymn at the beginning, a hymn before and after the Sermon (the latter for the collection to be taken), three hymns or so during communion, and a hymn at the end. These were not short hymns and they were sung in their entirety. They were also doctrinally "meaty". What we almost never had was an entirely "spoken" service, or a service without any hymns at all. So that's what I was used too.
So now I have experienced several other models in the Catholic Church: the entirely spoken mass without any hymns common in Catholic mid-week masses, the entirely spoken mass with 4 hymns common in parishes on Sunday in Catholic parishes, the occasional fully chanted Catholic mass with perhaps only an opening and closing hymn, the Catholic mass where the congregation sings a few bits of the liturgy and adds a couple of songs. But never have I experienced the depth of singing that we had in the Lutheran Church – fully sung liturgy with lots of hymns.
Then of course, there is, as you point out, the Eastern liturgy which is always fully sung but with no additoinal hymns at all. What needs to be recognised, of course, is that the Eastern Liturgy has incorporated a lot of hymns directly as part of the rite itself – more than in the West.
I grant the historical point that the Roman Rite didn't, as such, include hymns. But the singing of hymns at Mass didn't spring up from no-where. They were picking up a tradition that existed in late medieval Catholic parishes, although – emphasising congregational song – they did increase the part that hymns played. In the broad reality of Western liturgy as a whole these days, hymns have an acknowledge part (as GIRM shows with regard to the Ordinary Form).
All of this is to say, I grant your points, but the options are wide and not enforced in any particularly way in general. My (and this is a personal option) general rule is: singing is a good thing. Congregations that sing – whether the liturgy and propers itself or the added hymns – display a healthy religiosity. The more the merrier, in my book!
There is no shortage of hymns in the Roman Rite (I understand the definition of a hymn to be a strophic setting of a text, i.e. a number of verses set to the same tune) but they occur in the Office rather than the Mass. The Liber Usualis, which covers Sundays and feastdays, lists over 80 of them. Many of them have been translated, by Edward Caswall and Percy Dearmer among others and set to metrical hymn tunes. They were normally sung at the extra-liturgical devotions which replaced the Office in most Catholic parishes. Most Catholics would have been familiar with a few in their original Latin plainchant settings, for example Pange Lingua, Veni Creator Spiritus and Ave Maris Stella, because of their use outside of the Office.
Two hymns are particularly connected with Passiontide; Vexilla Regis Prodeunt and Crux Fidelis, both by Venantius Fortunatus (AD 530-609) and in both cases the chant is of outstanding beauty. If choirs don't sing them then they aren't Catholic musicians in any meaningful sense.
The chant is better when sung unaccompanied. Most organists nowadays don't know how to accompany chant. The four-hymn sandwich to which I referred is not satisfactory liturgically, and although the GIRM gives 'alius cantus aptus' as an alternative to Introit and Communion it is the least favoured option. It makes no sense, liturgically or musically, to sing a rousing hymn at the entrance, with a text that bears no resemblance to that prescribed for the Mass of the day, and then simply recite that great song of praise the Gloria in Excelsis.
Darryn Harris says:
A very belated reply – as for accompanying the chant with organ etc….it depends entirely on the congregation. If they prefer the organ assistance to help then sing the chant, then so be it. If they don't like it i.e. it distracts from their ability to pray the Mass, then so be it. Its up to the musicians to work out how to maximize the musical input so that everyone's prayers are enriched (after all, there's no other point for music the Mass than that).

I propose that
1) We replace the absentee monarch of Australia (who is also the Monarch of Great Britain) with an elected Australian monarchy.
2) The elected monarch exactly replaces the current monarch in the current constition.
3) The elected monarch has exactly the same powers, duties and responsibilities as those of the current absentee monarch. All the monarch's functions are carried out by his/her personal representatives (as is currently the case): federally by the Governor General, and in the states by the State Governors.
4) The Governor General and the Governors continue to be selected and appointed as they currently are, that is, by the premier with the approval of the monarch.
5) The monarch is elected to sovereignty over Australia for life, but his/her sovereignty is strictly non-hereditary.
6) The elective body is the "college of electors" comprised of the state governors and federal governor general.
7) The election of the monarch must be a unanimous decision on the part of the college of electors.

honestly? really? you just had to????
it's bad enough that you have anger management issues and quite frankly are often a total and complete jerk. but we have learned to live with this..ever so careful to make absolute sure your bad tempered violence is contained by not unduly irritating you.
today you almost (and may still) lose your eye. not from any internal eye problem, not from infection or disease. no, you unbelievably bone head dog…you ruptured your eye from playing with your toys so violently.
why can't you be like other dogs?..toss and chase a ball? cheerfully rip the gutz out of a stuffy? why do you have to grab toys, giant bowls, swimming pools and fling them, wing them, slam them around so ridiculously violently?
listen pudgy buddy..the vet worked hard to save that eye. don't you dare take your cone off, don't even THINK about biting us when we put your needed drops in your damaged eye. please consider playing a little bit less enthusiastically because if you keep bashing yourself in the face, one day you may no longer be able to see. how much fun do you think that will be?
in short dear diesel..please grab a brain.
your servants who for some odd reason do love you anyway.

I agree, Carol is a very good story teller. I would buy your book.
Oh my, Diesel! Bless you boy you are one crazy puppy!
Carol, you just made my morning…. you make me smile, and realize that no matter how bad my critters are…. yours are worse.
I may have elderly vision impaired and a blind dog that can be cranky or snappy but with each other, not me…. and they are happy to see the vet and go for acupuncture.
🙂 wishing all at SAINTS a Merry Christmas.
Just read the other comments….. I think a book is a great idea! Add it to the todo list… I will buy copies too!
You see,Carol, I'm not the only one who is eagerly waiting for your book!
Have a great day all you Saints.
Maybe he's cranky because he's so wrecked, poor guy!
No one tells a story quite like you do Carol – put me down for a copy of your book!
I've been saying for years that Carol should write a book. It would be a best seller for sure – drama, comedy, pathos, heartbreak, joy, worry – all the elements needed! The reality of running a senior/wrecked animal sanctuary.

Since Cabal seems to be a problem, I tried running stack install Cabal, but that doesn't do anything. The log file referenced just says the same thing as the output.
Ideas?
Nathan

A: This is a bug in the easyrender package description.  Note that cabal-install's "new-build" encounters the same problem.  See my comment on this stack issue: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/3560#issuecomment-344075524
Workaround is as described by Thomas's answer, and also in the issue at https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/3560#issuecomment-343980627
The next stack release will emit a warning about this circumstance, which should reduce confusion in the future.
Unfortunately, easyrender does not have an issue tracker, it appears to only have a hackage page.  I have emailed the author requesting that he fix this.

A: No such problems with cabal-install:
% cabal install easyrender
Resolving dependencies...

So I'm guessing this is an issue with stack handling non-simple builds in a different manner.  Namely, cabal-install seems to assume Cabal is a dependency of the setup.hs while stack does not.
Just to check, I tried and could produce your same issue but adding Cabal to the setup-depends: line of the easyrender.cabal made it work fine.

Steelers bring back QB Josh Dobbs, safety Sean Davis
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Quarterback Josh Dobbs and safety Sean Davis have reunited with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The team claimed both players off waivers on Sunday, a day after they failed to make the 53-man rosters elsewhere. Dobbs was cut by Jacksonville — which traded for Dobbs last September — while Davis was let go by Washington.
Davis played 48 games across four seasons with the Steelers after being selected in the second round of the 2016 draft. His 2019 season was cut short by a shoulder injury suffered in a Week 2 loss to Seattle. The Steelers acquired Minkah Fitzpatrick from the Dolphins a few days after Davis was injured, and the Washington, D.C., native signed a one-year deal with Washington in the offseason.
Dobbs, a fourth-round pick in 2017, appeared in five games for the Steelers in 2018. The Jaguars acquired him last September following an injury to Nick Foles, but Dobbs did not make it onto the field in Jacksonville.
To make room for Dobbs, the Steelers cut quarterback Devlin "Duck" Hodges. Hodges achieved cult status briefly last fall when the undrafted rookie free agent ascended to the starting job in place of Mason Rudolph and an injured Ben Roethlisberger. Hodges went 3-3 as a starter while completing 63% of his passes with five touchdowns against eight interceptions.
The Steelers released defensive back Curtis Riley to create a spot for Davis.
Riley, however, isn't going anywhere. He was among the 14 players Pittsburgh assigned to the practice squad Sunday afternoon. The Steelers also placed six-year veteran defensive tackle Dan McCullers, who was cut on Saturday, on the practice squad. Other notable players on the practice squad include linebacker Jayrone Elliott, running back Trey Edmunds, wide receiver Deon Cain and rookie safety Antoine Brooks Jr.
Pittsburgh opens the season at the New York Giants on Sept. 14.


One last thing: I got a new pinky ring for Christmas and it's been falling off all over the place. Monday night's painting class was no different: my pinky ring fell off again and landed on my wet canvas.
Rather than loosing it somewhere else (which was bound to happen at the rate this ring was falling off), I decided to make it a permanent addition to my artwork. Check out the canvas on the right, near the bottom. You see it? Bling, bling.
In fact, I think I might find another pinky ring, attach it to the other canvas and call them: Pinky Promise.

Officially Launched
PhoneRadar
Meizu M3 Max is the worlds first smartphone powered by Helio P20 SoC, to come with mPen Stylus support
Karthik Iyer
Meizu is on a smartphone launching spree this year. They have already launched a couple of smartphones this year, and more are rumoured to launch in coming weeks or months. The one which we will see early next month is the M3 Max. The company is expected to launch this phablet at an event on September 5th.
Until recently, we didn't have much info about the device apart from the display size, which is expected to be of 6-inches. Now we have some more details about the device in detail. Firstly, the device is going to be powered by the Helio P20 processor. This is an Octa-Core processor based on 16nmFinFET architecture and has a clock frequency of 2.3 GHz. The device also has a Mali-T880 MP2 for graphics rendering. More information about the specs will follow soon.
Another interesting thing to note here is, the device will come in two variants with 32GB internal storage and a 64GB internal storage. It is reported that the 64GB variant will have support for mPen. So, this will be quite interesting to see, as this will be world's first smartphone to be powered by an Helio P20 chipset and to come with mPen stylus support. It is expected that the device will run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with Flyme OS on top of it. As far as the pricing is concerned, the 32GB variant is expected to be priced at 1799 Yuan, and the 64GB variant with the mPen support will be priced at 1999 Yuan.
So let's just wait and see what we get here for that pricing. Also, interestingly the company has sent the Nokia E71 Qwerty mobile phone along with the press invite. We also have some of the leaked images of the device, which you can check out for the detailed look on the device. Meizu also recently won the mBack Patent for multi-tasking home button after fighting for four years. Stay tuned to Phone Radar for more info on this device.
Note: The featured image displayed above is of Meizu MX6.

Cover-versies: Payphone by Walk Off The Earth
Considering I sing 'Payphone' regularly at karaoke shows--it's one of my signature songs--I am not a fan at all of Maroon 5.
Okay, to be fair I liked Songs For Jane, the debut album. But back then you could see that Adam Levine and company was very conflicted as to the band they wanted to be. One half of the album was this great, sludgy sort of funk rock and the other half was pop crap. I so wanted the funk rock half of the band to win out.
Of course, Maroon 5 chose to go the pop crap route. And the rest is history.
'Payphone' is typical of the kind of stuff Maroon 5 does now. It's firmly in the pop mode, to the point of having a rap break by Wiz Kalifa toward the end so it can be played of 'urban contemporary' station (it's the transition from pop song to rap song that I think compels me to sing it over and over again). Its based on a rather outmoded image of a lover trying to reach out to the one who spurned him from a device that's been long gone from the public consciousness, yet does very little with that image. I suspect that the one thing that saves it is what saves much of pop music these days, namely the hookiness of the melody itself is the only thing that matters.
Anyway, before I talk about the cover by Walk Off The Earth, here's the original video:
(And no, I don't know why the video is about a bank robbery)
Now that we've heard the original, here's Walk Off The Earth's version:
Okay, you can see that one of the things this band--who made their musical bones with covers on Youtube--did was dial back the production. By simply stripping it down, they made this cover distinct from the original. The male vocals seem a little quieter than Levine's and less mannered. This makes for a more sincere delivery of the story. I also rather like the way the band adds the instruments one at a time, allowing us to concentrate on the lyrics and not drowning them in pop production goop.
But what elevates this cover is the rap break.
It's entirely different from the Wiz Kalifa version. Instead of the 'I'm rich and got stuff so who's the fool for leaving me' rift we get the other side of the story--the female half of this relationship telling off our POV character, first by telling him 'I'm pretty sure payphones don't even exist' and them insisting that she never had her say, hinting at some of the things he did and making it clear that she's not picking up the phone and telling him to leave a message.
This transforms the entire song, giving us a fuller perception of the relationship the song is purportedly about. It opens up the narrative and makes us question if our POV character is in the right. In short, a song about a man freeing himself from a dysfunctional relationship becomes a dialogue about where to ascribe blame. That takes some creativity.
Walk Off The Earth is presently preparing to tour in support of their new album. Maroon 5 is still Maroon Five. You can't have everything.

This Is Your Song For....June 18th, 2014: Karma Police
From their closet, they mess with you...
Today on This Is Your Song--a ominous cover of an already ominous song.
Like a lot of people, I first became aware of Flunk when I stumbled on the band's version of 'Blue Monday.' Kinda fuzzy and low-fi with a compelling female vocal by Anya Oyen Vistar, the song maked the quartet as a band to watch.
This is a cover from 2009's This Is What You Get (I am fascinated by how this album, like their first, is named after a line from a song they cover), and it takes full advantage of the creepy vibe of the original. By submerging the vocal in a sludgy guitar arrangement enhanced by electronic bleeps and blurbs, you do get the sense that there's something really, really wrong with both the culprits and the speaker. This is a person who has not crashed a party; this is a person who has infiltrated it for some sort of nefarious person--which makes the statement 'This is what you get when you mess with us' an actual threat. And the way it slowly slows, degrading as if the song's components are coming apart, makes for a somber coda.
I enjoy the chilly, vaguely scary cool of Flunk. All evidence points to the band still being in existence, as they released Lost Causes last year.
Here is the song:

This Is Your Song For....April 30th, 2014: Handwritten by The Gaslight Anthem
We're from Jersey...you know, like Springsteen only
more tattoo'd.
Welcome back to This Is Your Song. Today...one of the best bands that wish they were Bruce Springsteen.
Well, not the best in my opinion--I still hold The Hold Steady high above all (as does Mr. Springsteen himself, who handpicked Craig Finn and company to cover himself for the War Is For Heroes compilation some times ago)--but I do love this band a lot. Plus they've got the distinction of actually being from New Jersey, so they got Springsteen cred, and they have quoted a Spirngsteen song in one of their lyrics. The thing that I appreciate the Anthem is Brian Fallon's vocals, which manage to both have strength and seem to crack with emotion at the same time, and the fast, bright guitar playing by the members throughout. While their Springsteen influence is front and center, I also see little glimmers of The Dropkick Murphys and The Wedding Present in the way they gleefully attack their melodies and worry them like my friend's dog Cobie with a bone.
This is the title track from their fourth album, and while it does have the very Bruce-like theme of Blue Collar Love, there's more going on. This song also speaks of the way music bonds up together right from the first line-- 'Pull it on, turn it up, what's your favorite song'--and utilizes it to tell the story of a lover looking to reunite using mutual commonalites. And if that's not enough, they introduce the metaphor of love being handwritten to allude to the process of creativity. As our singer talks of rewriting the story of his life with his lover to have a happy ending, I can't help but think that he's also comparing this love to the way a song begins organically, with a musician literally putting words on paper. As with many Gaslight Anthem songs, many of which share the names of songs by artists I have to think are less obvious influences (Simon and Garfunkel, The Pixies), there are more layers going on than one would expect. And that's why I appreciate them as much as I do.
The Gaslight Anthem recently released a box set collecting their singles and an album collecting their B-Sides, and are working on a new album as we speak.

Karaoke Songs 1: Marlene On The Wall by Suzanne Vega
In the beginning there was an off-kilter
black and white photo
So what is this?
As some of you may know, I am training to be a karaoke host. My best friend, Vinnie Bracco, is a karaoke host and has been mentoring me--and even before then, I have been a karaoke enthusiast for several years. I enjoy singing, and I enjoy making a spectacle of myself. So what this is is my weekly-or-so attempt to take one song I did at karaoke shows that week and talk about it.
I did this song at Friday's karaoke show hosted by Mr. Jay, a friend of Vinnie, and someone who has been providing a lot of advice and guidance during my training; it's Jay who allowed me to do my first full shift. This was a slow night, so I decided to do songs originally performed by female singers. This is not the first time I've done this--one of my signature tunes at this Friday show is Britney Spears' 'Toxic,' sung for Locals Bar and Grill's wonderful bartender Gosha. But Friday night was the first time I consciously did it as a theme.
As for this partcular song, it was the first single from Suzanne Vega, off her self-titled debut. Most people would have probably forgotten it, as it was long ago eclipsed by the one-two punch off her second album, Solitude Standing, 'Luka' and 'Tom's Diner.' But it holds a special place in my heart because it was the first time I encountered Ms. Vega's work, and I owe it all to U68.
U68, WWHT, was an Ultra-High Frequency Television Station (and here's were several generations of my listeners will go, "What?") out of New Jersey. For the longest time, U68 survived by being the home of Wometco Home Theater, a primitive broadcast based alternative to cable television where subscribers got a box that would descramble WWHT's signal to get movies and smut. When cable's penetration into the New York tri-state made the station's pay TV model unprofitable, WWHT became a music video station. A change of name from Wometco Home Theater to U68 sealed the deal.
Of course, since many record labels had exclusive contracts with MTV, U68 was stuck with the also-rans and oddballs of the music video business--the stuff that MTV wouldn't run. Which is why, amongst U68's bizarre signature station IDs (here's a bum on the street singing opera! Here's Jon-Mikel Thor bending steel with his teeth!) 'Marlene On The Wall' found its way into my living room.
'Marlene On The Wall' is an interesting song for how untypical it is from most Suzanne Vega songs. It's certainly Vega getting deeply in touch with her inner Elvis Costello; the staccato reading of the lyrics and certain imagery makes it clear who she's channeling. It's the only song that has that triphammer delivery on the album, and she doesn't return to that style of singing until 'Blood Makes Noise,' the first--and to my knowledge, only--single off her own 'Glass Houses Moment, 99.9f. Incidentally, that atypicalness of the song carries over in the rather awkward video that has the subdued Vega stuffed into a slinky black dress (one that she has to keep adjusting) and awkwardly trying to be all kittenish. Not surprisingly, she fails, but in a charming way that emphasizes the awkwardness of song's POV character herself.
Another antecedent I think the song has is 'Bogart' by Nik Kershaw. Like 'Bogart,' this is a song about hero worship and the strength we can derive from it. Unlike Kershaw's track from Human Racing, however, the strength Ms. Vega gets from her heroine is more passive; this is, after all, a song supposedly written from the point of view of the poster of Dietrich that Vega had on her wall in the East Village. It's both more cynical and darker than 'Bogart,' with Vega being ambivalent about her relationship and not actively seeking guidance from her hero. Hell, she's absolutely blase' at spots (Even if I am in love with you/All this to say 'what's it to you?'), her only worry is how this strange, tempestuous relationship is causing her to change who she is (But the only soldier now is me/I'm fighting things I cannot see).
Now, that staccato phrasing and the language, coupled with Vega's tendency to write in a lower key, made it fairly easy for me to sing, and I loved singing it because it brought back fond memories of a goofy music video TV station and an aspiring folk singer trying to retain her dignity while squeezed into a lil' black dress.

This Is Your Song For....April 17th, 2014: The Things We Said Today by The Gestures
Meet The...okay, not quite The Beatles....
Welcome back. Today....Minnesota pop rock from the 60's from a band that really wants to be The Beatles.
And it's very obvious that this song from 1964 is extremely influenced by early era Beatles. An argument can be made that they're more than influenced by the most famous Liverpudlians in the world; the melody line and Dale Menton's vocals seems highly reminiscent of a certain composition of Lennon and McCarthy (listen to the song and decide for yourself). But the freshness of the open composition--a composition that was most like written by one or two people and not the army that ends up writing most pop compositions these days--is pretty undeniable. This is pop at its most stripped down, before Sgt. Pepper opened people up to what could be achieved in the studio. This primitiveness has been away from mainstream music so long, it's almost become modern again. One can easily see this becoming a very minor hit, fitting comfortably alongside The Lumineers and Mumford and Sons of this age.
The other thing that fascinates me about this song, and the Gestures in general, is that they were purveyors of that long-forgotten tradition, the Local Heroes. Now that music is so easily distributed worldwide through digital means and radio play is broadcast to several major cities simultaneously, the idea of a band that's worshipped as Gods in their general area but is unknown outside of it is no longer commonplace. Granted, there are still vestiges of that tradition--I shudder every Christmas when New York stations start playing the hideous 'Dominic The Christmas Donkey'--but I almost miss having songs that are ours alone, songs that we we embrace as a collective nighborhood but everywhere else just doesn't get. These are the ugly stepchildren of pop music, unloved save for their parent location, and they are all beautiful in their own way.
The Gestures, not surprisingly, broke up decades ago. But they were inducted into the Minnesota Rock N' Roll Hall OF Fame in 2008, so there's that much.
No video (why am I not surprised?), but the song is available on a number of compilations.

This Is Your Song For....March 13th, 2014: Break Them Down by Graham Parker
Hiding behind a not very good album....
Welcome back. Hopefully I can get up enough energy to submit these entries more than monthly soon. Today...the Angry Young Man of New Wave most people forgot.
....which is a shame because if you consider Joe Jackson The Beatles, and Elvis Costello The Stones, then Graham Parker is The Kinks, the one that helped shape the genre while not getting the credit his peers deserved. And let's be honest; like The Kinks, Parker had a tendency towards inconsistency and an annoying habit of trying to chase the American market instead of being true to himself.
This is from a later phase in his career, after he broke ties with his most famous collaborators The Rumor, and was recording as Graham Parker And The Shot (this being the only album he records under that name). This is a very transparent song about converting native cultures to Christianity and, while it's not as unsubtle as 'Green Monkeys,' a song off the otherwise excellent,return-to-form album Struck By Lightning, it's pretty obvious what Parker is getting at. It's sort of a sad period of his career, when he was flailing about trying to keep an audience that was growing bored with him. It's not for nothing that Parker never quite found another sympatico set of collaborators thoughout the late 80's onward until he recently reunited with The Rumor for the rather good Three Chords Good.
As you can no doubt tell, I don't have much to say about this song. If Graham Parker is The Kinks, then this is from the period in his career analogous to the late 70's era that saw Ray Davies produce Low Budget and Celluloid Heroes.
Here's the song.

I know almost nothing about who The Hollow Threads are. Their website only mentions that they are from Pasadena, California and they have an album available for whatever you want to pay on Bandcamp, and....they are odd. Part ambient, part dreampop, the song features three actual lines of lyrics which seems to have nothing to do with the title of the song (Lay out the cards/let's see who you are/you make me unravel) repeated several times over.
But to me, what makes the song is the dreamy, breathy voice of the band's Meesha Black--who, frustratingly enough, is not named in any of the publicity information; if it wasn't for YouTube I wouldn't know her name. This woman's voice is just incredible. While I may be ambivalent about the melody, her I am not. I would love to hear more of in different settings. Plus...downright gorgeous. That's gotta count for something.
I don't know if The Hollow Threads are planning to make any more music--or, in fact, they still exist, but I'd love to hear more from this vocalist.
No video, but here's Meesha singing by herself.

I like movies and music. I have a very unhealthy obsession with Kristen Bell. Warren Zevon is a personal hero, and I think the whole world would be better if everyone understood The Replacements. I am a published writer....Ten Statements About... This is my way of giving you a thumbnail sketch from the gut of what I think of every movie I watch. Many times I'll also give you notes on the movie theater I went to and the trailers I saw. I try to be funny; only you can tell me if I am being successful...A Parting Glance...this is my feature where I discuss my feelings about artists who have just passed on... 30 Songs, 30 Days...my annual random-song meme where I turn on my MP3 player, put it on random, start it playing and have to write what comes to mind when listening to the first song....Cover-versies...this is my feature that discusses cover songs, primarily evaluating them in relation to the original...Me And... is where I explore my history with my favorite bands and artists on an item by item basis....

2016 has been a year of blessings especially to these two crews both comprising of twins, W-Twice and Twin-M as they made noise through a few singles they dropped within the just ended year.
Despite that the two crews are into different genres, they still seem to have the same type of fan base since their songs are mostly played in most similar functions like in weddings and in Zinkhoswe, just to mention a few.
They made it to fame which wasn't easy and nobody would argue on the fact that they also underwent hardships and other sort of drawbacks considering how other artists are struggling to make a name in the music industry.
These two crews seem to be on a competition in as far as making hit songs is concerned.
The crew, W-Twice has a hit single "Wadutsa Pompa" that features Nepman. It came out last year and made uncontrollable noise up to the extent of attracting a remix which is also currently making noise.
The same applies to Twin-M who also made a hit song titled "Pasa Ine".
It also had a huge morale that was later boosted by another hit song from them called "Single" which features Black Nina.
Looking into all this, one would not deny that there is some sort of a competition between them.
Well, this article will give you the chance to know more about these two crews, W-Twice and Twin-M, and struggles they have passed through just to be on the level they are today.
Born from Mr. and Mr.'s Chimombo, W-Twice, real names Willard and Wilson started doing music in 2009.
Since then, they have been releasing songs which weren't popular until in 2013 when they made their first popular song "Chekecheke Thwa" which featured Mr. P.
The Blantyre based crew which comes from Ndirande Township says they grew up listening to music and their journey in music was inspired by different artists including the Village Champion singer Dan Lu.
"That time we used to watch the then popular music show on TV, Music Splash," they said.
Apart from doing music, they are students and they have wrote the just ended Malawi School Certificate of Education Exams and expects to enroll college very soon.
As part of hustle, Willard and Wilson Chimombo run a grocery in their neighborhood.
Lastly, they had to talk about the future ahead of them which they disclosed that its looking bright since more achievements are to come.
"We can see a big achievement in the music industry since we are able to differentiate ourselves from where we were and where we are now. The future is crystal clear; we can see ourselves somewhere in the next 2 years".
Born as Aaron and Andrew Masauli, Twin-M used to sing in the church choir in 2004 before they started doing their own songs.
They made their first album called "Chimwemwe" but unfortunately it never took them anywhere so they decided to quit and went back to sing in their church choir in their home village Nkhotakota.
Whilst there, many people used to motivate them saying they can still do better on their own; that is when they went to Blantyre and luckily they got a deal with "Too Fresh" who started to promote their music.
The future started looking bright when they made their first hit song "Pasa Ine" under "Too Fresh".
Twin-M revealed that they have faced so many challenges and some are still there even now.
"We have ever performed at shows without being paid and ended up walking on foot going back home from a show which we were supposed to be paid", they said.
Aaron and Andrew are still doing their secondary education.
They stay in Blantyre, Baluti around Stella Maris secondary school.
They said they do not differentiate themselves with W-Twice since they are all musicians.
"We cannot differentiate ourselves from W-Twice because we are all music artists and they say music is message," they said.
As the competition of making hit songs is underway, Twin-M will soon release another song titled "Ndidzingodyabe" following the release of "Chiphwanya" by W-Twice a few weeks ago which features Zambian`s Chimzy Kelly.
Expect more from these two crews, W-Twice and Twin-M in 2017.

UPPER EAST SIDE, Manhattan (WABC) -- An elderly man who was found dead inside his Upper East Side apartment last week was strangled, the medical examiner said Thursday.
The NYPD said 78-year-old Christopher Cooley was found by his sister at his apartment on East 64th Street near Madison Avenue last Wednesday. She went to check on him after not hearing from him.
Police said they first suspected a medical issue or that he had somehow fallen, as the deadbolt lock on the door was locked from the inside and there was no sign of forced entry. But the autopsy found otherwise, and the medical examiner ruled the case a homicide.
While investigating, the NYPD said there was a broken glass near Cooley's body.


I've always been fascinated by the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites around the world, places that defy time and are landmarks that are so breathtaking in person. And while we're in Europe this week, I realized that we're actually marking off a whole list of UNESCO sites on this trip so while we're gone, I thought it'd be the perfect time to point out some of my favorites that we've already seen and explored! So all this week, we'll be exploring UNESCO World Heritage Sites from Asia to South America to Europe. Prepare for major wanderlust to head to these monuments!
Today we're covering everything you need to visit the amazing monument of the Great Wall of China!
Drive from Beijing either by private driver hired through your hotel (which I'd recommend) or through tour bus companies.
Standing on top of the Great Wall will make you as a witness of history right at your finger tips!
First thing in the morning before the tour buses arrive. Try to be at the site before 9am.
-Pick the section of the Great Wall you want to visit prior to going. We visited the Mutianyu section due to its ease and proximity to Beijing but there are lots of different options, each with a slightly different look and feel.
-Dress appropriately, particularly in Winter. The wall gets really icy in cold weather so rubber soled shoes are a must!
-Be on the first bus up the hill and you'll get the Great Wall to yourself for 15-20 minutes.
-Go in the Winter! It will be way less crowded and if you can catch it in the snow, it's magical!

The S stands for sport—and the 55S certainly lives up to this title. The yacht reaches a top speed of 36 knots and boasts a range of 310 nautical miles when cruising at 30 knots. Its quickness comes from the combination of three 435 hp Volvo IPS engines and the yacht's light weight, which can be partly attributed to the use of carbon fiber for the decks and deckhouse.
With its three-cabin layout, the 55S can accommodate as many as six guests and one crew member—an impressive capacity for a 55-foot yacht. Righini's creative use of space gives passengers prime belowdecks real estate located amidships so that they will not feel the impact of choppy water while sleeping. The en suite owner's stateroom consists of a large, off-center sleeping berth and a U-shaped dining area outfitted with leathers. The VIP cabin features a king-size bed and shares a bathroom with the guest cabin, which has twin beds. A crew cabin is situated forward and is accessed via a main-deck hatch.
The main deck exemplifies Righini's efforts to blend interior and exterior spaces. The deckhouse offers a line of sight from bow to stern and features a huge retractable carbon-fiber sunroof with a large glass insert, as well as a full-beam sliding glass door that separates the aft deck from the saloon, dining, galley, and wheelhouse areas. Large windows on either side of the deckhouse (which is finished in zebrawood and cream-colored leather) further illuminate the space.
The 55S's exterior deck space includes forward sun pads and an aft deck that can be converted from a dining area into an additional sunning space. At the stern, the inviting teak-clad beach club starts off as a small platform. With the press of a button, the tender-garage door drops down and becomes another 6.5-foot-wide teak deck for lounging, while the smaller platform submerges to become a sea floor for wading into the water—a feature that has become a trend on much larger yachts

A brand with more than 150 years of experience, Stahlwille has always been at the side of the aviation industry. Aerospace is in fact one of the reference sectors in which the famous brand Made in Germany has specialized over the years, becoming a choice of excellence. Hand tools produced by Stahlwille for the aviation industry include torque wrenches, polygonal socket wrenches and extensions, Allen wrenches, pliers and flexometers, LED lamps and torches, ratchets, TORQ SET® screwdrivers and trolleys with tool sets.
Working in the aeronautical sector means having to work both with different materials and with an extremely high degree of precision. Stahlwille manufactures high-security aeronautical tools. For example, aircraft bolts cannot be standard but made of alloy, and the tools must be of certified quality. Stahlwille aircraft sockets are manufactured from steel alloys selected for the highest strength, and are designated by the letters HPQ, High Performance Quality.
Stahlwille's specialisation in aeronautics and its long experience working alongside leading aircraft manufacturers have led to the creation of the TCS (Tool Control System), which certifies greater safety and has won the Aerospace Industry Award. Today Stahlwille offers a specialized catalogue for aeronautics and for maintenance, repair and overhaul applications (MRO), which is subjected to strict tests and controls. Since 1992, the quality control system has been in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 and the tests are carried out by the DAkkS calibration laboratory accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 at the Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle. Among the best-selling products in the catalogue are undoubtedly the complete solutions, such as the Line Maintenance set in tool trolley 13214 with 121 tools, perfect for organising your work tools, for optimizing space and processes, and for the high quality of the utensils. Of course, Stahlwille is also specialized in dynamometry for aviation: for this reason, professionals choose torque control tools such as the electronic torque wrench SENSOTORK® 701, known as "the little one" (for its compact size, for small torques, from 1 N-m), or the torque wrench MANOSKOP® 730D, a specific production wrench, designed to avoid human error and that can become goniometric with an insert.
The catalogue also includes, of course, ratchets and socket wrenches, HPQ certified, cadmium-free and suitable for use on titanium alloy components. The rest of the catalogue is also worth mentioning, ranging from flexometers to wire twisting pliers, from hexagonal wrenches to LED lights, up to screwdrivers. Everything you need to work best in aerospace and ensure maximum safety on components at FOD risk (Foreign Object Damage). If you are looking for more information or need a quote for your company, write to us through the contact form: our customer care will take care of your request and will assist you in finding the best solution.

How long is the flight from Honolulu to Anaheim?
How long does it really take to fly from Honolulu to Anaheim? Here's a sample itinerary for a commercial flight plan. If you want to know the total travel time to reach Anaheim, you need to include time at the airports. Eventually, you'll be able to customize this itinerary to select other nearby airports and choose your preferred airline.
How far is Anaheim from Honolulu? Here's the quick answer if you have a private jet and you can fly in the fastest possible straight line.
Compare this to a whole day of commercial travel with the airports and waiting in line for security, which ends up taking a total of 9 hours, 47 minutes.
Flying private is roughly 2x faster, and saves you about 5 hours in your total travel time.
The distance is the same either way if you're flying a straight line. But for a real trip, there can be plenty of differences so go ahead and check the reverse flight itinerary to fly from Anaheim to Honolulu, or go to the main page to calculate other flight times.
If you happen to know Honolulu, don't forget to help other travelers and answer some questions about Honolulu!

Петроо́стрів (колишні назви — хутір Дави́дівка, Третя рота) — село в Україні, у Новомиргородській міській громаді Новоукраїнського району Кіровоградської області.

Колишній центр Петроострівської сільської ради.

Населення становить  .

Географія

Село розташоване в західній частині району на кордоні з Черкаською областю. Петроострів лежить в долині річки Велика Вись, на її лівому березі. В межах села в неглибокій улоговині знаходиться Солоне озеро.

Археологія
Поблизу Петроострова, за 500 м від лівого берега річки Велика Вись, на мису, утвореному вигином балки, знаходиться поселення Трипільської культури етапу СІ, відкрите новомиргородським археологом Петром Івановичем Озеровим та обстежене О. В. Цвек у 1987 році. Площа поселення — близько 30-40 га. Тут виявлено кераміку з розписом та антропоморфну пластику.

Історія

Перша церква у селі Петроострові, Преображенська, була побудована в 1745 році. Це була дерев'яна однопрестольна будівля без фундаменту. Першим священиком був Григорій Єремеєв.

Населення Петроострова в 50-х роках ХХ століття становило близько 5 тисяч чоловік, у школі навчалось 550 учнів (найбільше у Хмелівському районі). На той час у селі діяла МТС — одна з найуспішніших в Україні, що обслуговувала 9 колгоспів. Окрасою її центральної садиби був парк, нині занедбаний.

В селі Петроострів існує однойменна футбольна команда «Петроострів» яка була створена в середині 2000-х років зусилями молоді села. На даний момент ФК «Петроострів» бере участь в чемпіонаті Новомиргородського району з футболу.

В 2014 році ФК «Петроострів» став чемпіоном Новомиргородського району з футболу не програвши жодного матчу, і лише раз зігравши в нічию з ФК «Легіон» з міста Новомиргорода.

Також в Петроострові народилася Ковпан Валентина Іванівна заслужений майстер спорту СРСР (1976). Виступала за львівську команду товариства «Буревісник». Чемпіонка світу 1973 і 1975 рр. у командних змаганнях із стрільби з лука. Чемпіонка Європи (1978) в особистих і командних змаганнях. Срібний призер першості світу 1973 і 1975 рр. в особистих змаганнях та срібний призер літніх Олімпійських ігор 1976 року в особистих змаганнях.

Релігія

Перша церква в селі була збудована близько 1745–1749 років на честь Преображення Господнього. В цей період священиками тут були: Григорій Єремеєв (1745), Михайло Степанов (1746–1748), Захарій Іванов (1748–1754) та вікарій Іоан Захарієв (1748–1754). В 1754 році частину церковного майна перенесли до слободи Вись.

Нині петроострівська Преображенська церква розташована у пристосованому приміщенні.

Q: How to modify the request object in Next.js middleware file? How can I modify the request object in Next.js middleware file?
I have seen this question but it does not answer my question.
I have a middleware file that looks like below:
// middleware.js
export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
    req.name = "foo";
    //If I console.log req.name I see it is equal to foo.
    console.log(req.name) // logs "foo"
}

Then I have an api route like below
// pages/api/hello.js
export default async function handler(req, res) {
    console.log( req.name ) //logs undefined
    // what can I do so that I can access the new properties
    // I put in the req object in the middlware file here?

Chicago to help small businesses with climate action plans
The City of Chicago has established a new $5 million infrastructure fund that will provide grants to nonprofits and small businesses to implement their own climate action strategies. It shows how city and state governments can use a more equitable and just approach to combating climate change.
By Jawahar Hingorani
The City of Chicago has launched a $5 million infrastructure fund to help non-profits (NGOs) and small businesses (SMEs) with their own climate action strategies.
As part of its 2022 Climate Action Plan (CAP), the city is focused on funding community-centred climate solutions and promoting equity for underserved communities.
Chicago's actions are indicative of the ability of local action to make progress on climate change, as cities and states in the US take an equitable and just approach in their climate plans.
Chicago's climate infrastructure fund aims to empower non-profits and SMEs
A new $5 million infrastructure fund has been launched by the City of Chicago to help non-profit organisations and small businesses tackle climate change. It will provide grants to fund renewable energy and energy efficiency improvements, support the purchase of electric vehicles and install charging infrastructure, and help with flooding resilience.
Chicago has made a commitment to strengthen climate solutions centred around underserved communities to create greater equity. The climate infrastructure fund is one of four sources of grant funding being offered by the city's Department of Planning and Development.
Angela Tovar, chief sustainability officer for the City of Chicago, said: "The City of Chicago recognizes that the key to mitigating the climate crisis and fostering resilient neighbourhoods begins at the community level. We are thrilled to provide direct resources to our community organisations and small businesses on the frontlines of the climate crisis and to support their vision for a sustainable future."
Climate Action Plan 2022 outlines Chicago's sustainability ambitions
Chicago released its Climate Action Plan 2022 in April, establishing a new set of climate goals. It has committed to reducing its CO2 emissions by 62% by 2040 from 2017 levels, and does not plan to use offsets or credits to achieve this goal. This would appear to be more ambitious than its prior goal of achieving a 65% reduction by 2040, which was compared to 2005 levels.
The city administration has recognised that ongoing oppression, racism and discrimination have led to disparities in economic stability, public health conditions and quality of life. As a result, it plans a more holistic approach to achieving its climate goals, and will focus its plans on equity and justice for communities in the 2022 plan.
Direct action by cities demonstrates power of local action
Chicago was among the first cities in America to adopt a climate action plan, but missed its 2020 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target set in 2008, largely due to funding gaps. While not unique to Chicago, the city has taken advantage of the change in the federal government and related stance on climate change.
An agreement by the city to purchase all of the electricity used in major city operations by 2025 represents a big step in its emissions reduction goals. City buildings and public transport will likely be the major targets for transition to reduced emissions, as they combine to account for 93% of the city's total emissions, which will benefit urban and inner city populations.
The state of California has been a climate change leader in the US and globally, thanks to its history of setting aggressive emissions reduction policies. It is now the first US state to allocate funds to benefit low-income communities in its current fiscal plan, as it targets a transition to zero-emission transportation.
Holistic approach to just and equitable transition part of future plans
A focus on underserved communities in its approach to tackling climate change is not just limited to Chicago's 2022 CAP. It has planned to integrate community resilience and climate justice criteria into the strategic planning and budgeting process for all city departments by 2023.
By 2024, the city plans to optimise community-level emergency strategies related to climate preparedness. Chicago's growing urban population is at increasing risk from climate disasters due to its proximity to Lake Michigan. A rise in the number of incidents of flooding and winter storms threatened the climate haven reputation of the Great Lakes region.
The resulting property destruction and loss of life put the most vulnerable of Chicago's residents at risk. A community-centred approach to climate change adaptation and mitigation that focuses on underserved communities is a good start to the climate justice goal in its 2022 CAP.
Net Zero Economy


When New Zealand's largest dairy exporter, Fonterra, was in need of expanding its storage capacity for milk powder to service growing international export markets, we submitted a design and build solution for a drystore. Completed in two phases over a short 14 months, the warehouse features 14m wide, seven metre high rapid rise doors to streamline the handling of the plant's annual production of dry milk products.
The technical aspects of this project included the delivery of massive tonnage of steel to the construction site every week like clockwork. The 54,00sqm/500m long warehouse facility represents the South Island's largest building and a flagship construction project for us, confirming our place in a select group of construction firms able to undertake such large scale projects.
