Seattle is lucky to have the Fifth Avenue Theatre. Besides mounting some of the best modern-day musicals, the theater also presents classics of this uniquely American art form. The current production of Oklahoma! is obviously in the latter category; as the first show Rodgers and Hammerstein ever wrote together – it premiered on Broadway in 1943 – it offers us a chance to hear some beautiful tunes and see how R&H fully integrated story, singing and dancing.
There is much to like in this production. Erik Ankrim as Curly and Alexandra Zorn as Laurey make an attractive and well-matched couple as the on again off-again lovers. Their powerful voices blend well in their duets and there is real sexual energy between them. Matt Owen as Will Parker can hoof as well as he can sing and his tap number in "Kansas City" is one of the choreographic highlights. Kirsten deLohr Helland almost steals the show as the delightful, ditzy Ado Annie and her rendition of "I Can't Say No" breathes new life into one of the best-known songs in the musical theater canon. Anne Allgood is a revelation as Aunt Eller, remarkably nimble on her feet and a real belter.
The story of Oklahoma! is corny (pun intended) and predictable although as in most R&H shows, there are undertones of social commentary. In this case, the character of the villainous farmhand Jud speaks to the class divisions that characterized America's frontier days. But it was a serious miscalculation by the Fifth's producers to cast the imposing African-American actor Kyle Scatliffe as Jud. It's impossible to avoid racial implications in Jud's explosions of rage and his violent pursuit of the white Laurey. Audiences are used to mixed-race casts but it's hard to understand what we are to make of the decision to use the towering Scatliffe as the only evil and menacing character in the story.

The Agony and the Ecstasy – A Year with Tottenham Hotspur
Jun 12 2019 December 14, 2020
"Belief is the most important thing in football. Not quality, running, or being strong, but belief, faith, and fight."
– Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham Hotspur manager
Belief is something that requires faith to start and fight to maintain. Pochettino, or Poch as he is often lovingly referred to by the Spurs faithful, is no stranger to wisdom, and his comment encapsulates my experience following the club this year: a lot of belief, a lot of faith, and an awful lot of fight.
In the past, I had casually followed soccer (or football to the rest of the world), mostly around the US National teams and the World Cup. While this was exciting, my level of interest and support would fade as the qualifiers and the Cup would end. As I grew to understand the game (thanks to the help of my former roommate and a lot of games of Fifa) my interest grew as well. I slowly found myself falling in love with the sport and I decided to make a commitment to consistently follow the English Premier League, namely the team known as Tottenham Hotspur.
The reasons behind this choice were numerous:
Their interesting blue-collar history and their connection to the Jewish community was really fascinating.
I've always found the coach, Pochettino, to be inspiring, exciting, and his style of play was aggressive and fast-paced.
The eclectic collection of personalities and players on the team, many of whom I was familiar with through their roles on their various national teams in the 2018 World Cup and my casual following of the team over the last couple of seasons (admittedly kickstarted by this video ).
Their history as a team on the rise who so far had never gotten over the hump but always played hard and always was in contention for the top 4.
On August 11, 2018, the campaign began, and what followed was a roller coaster of highs and lows. Highs like their smashing of Manchester United, Chelsea, and Everton, Jan Vertonghen's masterclass in the slaughter of Dortmund, the nail-biting tie against Barcelona that secured advancement in the Champions League, the VAR divine intervention to knock out Manchester City, and the high point of the season, the Moura Miracle in Amsterdam. Then you had to deal with lows like their month-long stretch of losses, the 4-2 loss to bitter rival Arsenal, the Champions League opening rounds that took the team to the knife's edge of elimination, the continuous string of injuries and setbacks, and the disappointing domestic cup exits to Crystal Palace and Chelsea. A lifetime of fandom of the University of Tennessee football program had more than prepared me for the idea of disappointment (check out their past decade of collective mediocrity), but what I wasn't prepared for was how the investment into the players and the team made each win and loss all the more emotionally taxing. In American football, certain players are celebrated or talked about far more than others game by game (most football fans couldn't name their favorite team's backup left tackle, or even the starting one), but in soccer, no player can really hide on the field. You learn all about them, see real evidence of their skill and heart, and once you see and learn these things, chemistry and camaraderie become intoxicating when it's seen in its highest forms, yet painfully depressing when you see it's absence. On the American football field, it's often hard to see real individual personalities – in soccer, they are impossible to ignore, and because of this you become more connected to and invested in the players and the team. When it comes to a team with personality, heart, chemistry, and camaraderie, Spurs are a dynamic and exciting example.
The Belgian defense duo of Jan Vertonghen and Toby Aldereireld could replace my home security system and I would sleep even more soundly at night. I would want Danny Rose to walk beside down a dark alley because I know he would fight to the end. Lucas Moura is a human energizer bunny who never gives less than 110% (And would later prove to be the hero in their epic Champions League Semifinal comeback against Ajax). Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen would make the best wingman duo of all time on and off the field. Moussa Sissoko is a human tank that over the course of the season morphed from laughingstock to cult hero (with songs in the stands about him to boot). Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris could be injected into my veins and he would fight off every infection and disease known to man. Striker and English captain Harry Kane is the big man on campus and has consistently lived up to the billing. However, this season, one man has risen above the rest, at least in my mind – South Korean miracle man Son Heung-min.
The Beloved Son
Son has stepped up repeatedly in the most desperate of circumstances and delivered time and time again. Son had become a fan favorite at Spurs due to his immense talent and technical skill, but what turned him into an idol has been his infectious joy and personality on and off the field. Always smiling, always positive (Apart from his ejection in the crapstorm that was the match against Bournemouth… let's not talk about it), a model teammate and citizen, Son has already solidified himself as a legend. In a season full of bad luck and injuries (the Spurs "Fab Four" of Kane, Dele, Eriksen, and Son have only started together in 10 out of 55 games at the time of this writing), Son rose to the challenge and has become the team's second-leading scorer even after missing almost an entire MONTH leading his South Korean national team to victory in the Asian Games (which also guaranteed his exemption from mandatory military service). Over the course of the season, he has scored memorable and vital goals, but none are as satisfying as his magical strike against Chelsea, especially when you add the majesty of Celine Dion (make sure your sound is on). All in all, if I had a daughter, I'd rip off both of my thumbs to have her marry Son.
The team managed to reach the finals of UEFA Champions League, the most prestigious tournament in club soccer through a mixture of last-minute heroics, blind luck, iron determination, and a dash of what some could call destiny. Even though they ultimately failed to lift the trophy in the final against Liverpool (largely because of Liverpool's world-class defense after an early lead due to what many have called a "harsh" penalty call), Spurs fought fiercely to the end and did the name proud.
In a time where for many spending has equaled success, Spurs managed to succeed over traditional powerhouses on a fraction of the budget and dragged themselves by sheer will and heart to the very cusp of glory in spite of injuries, mishaps, and misfortunes. Every step of it was a memorable journey. The Spur's official motto for over 100 years has been Audeat est facere, or put more simply, To Dare is to Do. This team has dared, this team has done, and in the process, they have captured the heart of this former soccer hater.
COME ON YOU SPURS
Sam Flanagan says:
Jarrod,
This was a joy to read. I'm so excited about your love of soccer (especially considering our late-into-the-night sessions of GameDay 99 that I still remember vividly). I, too, am now a huge soccer fan, and a self-professing Chelsea fan at that. I did, however, absolutely cheer for Tottenham in the UCL final (the early penalty truly was a heartbreak). I feel like you summed up very well one of the most exciting teams in European soccer in 2018-19 (the only year that I've religiously followed so far), with the lone possible exceptions of the trials of the ever-to-be-redeemed Kieran Trippier and the inevitable mancrush Harry Winks. You really get this game, and I enjoyed reading about your love for this team. (Side note, if you're missing soccer and are at all interested in finding an MLS team to root for, may I suggest Atlanta United? I love them so, so much and could certainly give you impassioned explanations.) I've not seen your blog before, but I'm glad I saw your Facebook post about it this time. I hope to read more about your love of the Spurs in the future (and if you're ever in Knoxville, let's watch a game together)!

The 14th Dalai Lama has told followers that he is considering early reincarnation. His motivation, he says, is that he just wants to be a kid again. He looked back fondly on his early days before he was identified as the successor to the 13th Dalai Lama.
Mr Lama also spoke about his tense relations with China, due to his former alliance with the Tibetan Liberation Movement.
The Dalai Lama has been refused entry into South Africa on numerous occasions, as they do not want to compromise relations with China.

During this difficult time, we remain committed to providing the best service possible and have taken/are taking the following actions:
Using larger vehicles in certain areas where possible to allow for more distance between people.
Requiring masks for all passengers and drivers at all times while on MASCO vehicles.
Limiting capacity to 25 passengers on large vehicles and of 10 passengers in smaller vehicles. Should more passengers attempt to board than the capacity allows, the driver may ask a rider to wait for the next vehicle. If a person has already boarded who exceeds capacity, the driver may ask that person to disembark and wait for the next shuttle.
Marking off seats to note where passengers may sit to leave sufficient space between people.
Additionally, stickers are placed on the floor noting where standees may stand while capacities are decreased.
Mounting hand sanitizer stations at the rear door of vehicles.
Enhancing cleaning by doing a mid-day wipe down of all high touchpoint areas on every vehicle before returning to PM service on top of the nightly deep clean of every vehicle.
Increasing ventilation when weather permits allowing drivers to open windows and roof hatches increasing airflow in the vehicles.
Expanding locations with supervisors present at crucial boarding locations to assist drivers and passengers during this time. They will monitor passenger levels, assist with mask compliance, and help the drivers determine when they have reached their capacity.

She said she hopes CICA will continue to uphold its credo, aims, and operating principles; and support the positions of ASEAN and Việt Nam in order to ensure peace, security, safety and freedom of navigation and overflight, and to settle disputes by peaceful measures on the basis of respecting the UN Charter and international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
The Vice President stated that Việt Nam will continue to make active and responsible contributions to CICA operations.
For his part, Sarybay hailed Việt Nam's contributions at CICA and wished Việt Nam and other ASEAN member states back the formation of a partnership between the secretariats of CICA and ASEAN.
Meeting with Xuân, Lekhi, who heads the Indian delegation to the summit, affirmed her wish to further strengthen the Việt Nam-India comprehensive strategic partnership and recommended the sides increase their collaboration in trade-investment, clean energy development, economy, people and cultural exchanges; and tourism, particularly in the post-pandemic period.
Echoing the view, Xuân stated Việt Nam attaches importance to the bilateral partnership, proposing the increase of delegation exchange and programmes in economy, trade, tourism, and culture and the facilitation of goods transactions between the two markets.
On the day, the Vietnamese official also met the liaison committee of the Kazakhstan-Việt Nam Friendship Association; attended a ceremony marking the 30th anniversary of the Việt Nam-Kazakhstan diplomatic relations; an event opening Vietjet Air's direct air route between Cam Ranh of Việt Nam and Almaty of Kazakhstan. — VNS

The race for a truly bezel-less smartphone is well underway. More and more manufacturers are determinedly and deliberately shrinking down the dead space between smartphone screens and the metal frames that invariably surround them. But the pursuit of a 100 percent screen-to-body ratio, resulting in a phone that is pure screen when viewed from the front, is causing some issues.
What if the perfect smartphone aesthetic doesn't make for the most functional device? The unpalatable truth is that most of us will accept a drop in usability for a design that gets our hearts beating a little faster. Right now, today, bezel-less phones look futuristic. And, perhaps just as importantly, big bezels are beginning to look decidedly old-fashioned. For a quick bezel comparison, take a look at our bezel-off between a handful of top smartphones.
Bezels are the edges of a phone that sit around the screen on the front. The idea of a bezel-less phone has been around in concept form for years, but it is only relatively recently that we've seen mass-market devices heading in this direction. The general trend towards bigger displays and smaller bodies, has definitely given way to a general clamoring for a truly bezel-less design.
A truly bezel-less design is still some way off. But make no mistake – it's coming.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge dispensed with bezels at the sides of its 5.1-inch screen, but it still had a screen-to-body ratio of 71.7 percent. With the Infinity display of the S8, named after those pools whose surface simply drops over an invisible edge, Samsung managed to pack a 5.8-inch screen into an even smaller body, for a screen-to-body ratio of 83.6 percent.
The recently revealed Essential Phone, manages to push that ratio up to 84.9 percent, with its 5.71-inch screen, and the trendsetting Xiaomi Mi Mix matches Samsung's 83.6 percent, but with a huge 6.4-inch display. Naturally, rumors abound that the next iPhone might be bezel-free.
As pundits will point out, a truly bezel-less design is still some way off. But make no mistake – it's coming. TV manufacturers have been successfully shrinking bezels for quite some time — but we don't hold TVs the way we hold our smartphones.
What do you do with the speakers, the buttons, the fingerprint sensor, and the front-facing camera? Are bezel-free phones more breakable? How do you hold the phone without accidentally triggering the touchscreen?
No one has really solved all these problems yet, but they're not insurmountable.
Shifting buttons onto the screen is easy enough and it's a convention that's been around in Android for years. It does eat into your screen real estate, but only for a moment when you need them. Physical home buttons, with capacitive counterparts, have largely been consigned to the design scrap-heap and, for the most part, we don't miss them.
Fingerprint sensors have been moving around to the back, even in phones with relatively large bezels, like the Google Pixel, so that's an easy sell. Though, some of us find it irritating to have to pick our phones up off the desk to unlock them.
It's universally acknowledged that dual front-facing speakers produce the best sound experience if you're not using headphones, but even the company that pioneered them – HTC – has been moving away from that design. Most of us will wear headphones when we want good sound anyway, so maybe shifting speakers to the top and bottom edges isn't a big deal.
The front-facing camera is a stickier issue, especially in the selfie age. Essential's inelegant solution is a cut-out that dips into the screen to house the selfie camera, while Xiaomi dropped it to the bottom. Both look decidedly weird and detract from the overall design. If manufacturers can't figure out a way to put a front-facing camera under the screen, this could be the main stumbling block for truly bezel-free phones.
The front-facing camera is a stickier issue, especially in the selfie age.
The idea that cutting down the bezels makes the phone more fragile doesn't seem to hold water. The front face of our phones has been all glass for a long time now, regardless of the bezel size. Maybe the display is more likely to get damaged in an impact, making the repair more expensive, but it's not a deal-breaker. If we really wanted more durable phones, then we'd buy them – there are rugged phones out there. But we don't buy them because they're ugly.
Most people who worry about breaking their phones buy a case, though we must admit that nothing kills the beauty of a bezel-less design, with curved glass melting into a metal frame, faster than a thick rubber shell round the outside.
What about the issue of accidentally triggering the touchscreen and pausing your video, or suddenly scrolling at light speed and losing your place on the website page you were reading because you had to adjust your grip? It's annoying as hell. There's no denying that. So is watching a video and wondering why it's so quiet, before realizing you're covering the speaker with your finger.
The thing is, all of these issues melt into insignificance when you hold a near bezel-less phone. If you've criticized the Galaxy S8 without picking one up, then you don't have the full picture. It's not just about having a bigger screen, it's about truly beautiful design. The kind of style that makes you want to touch it and gaze at it just because it looks so damn good.
The pursuit of a bezel-less design is the pursuit of beauty. It may be shallow, but like the cut of clothes, and the curves of classic cars, the right look can seduce you. Familiarity breeds contempt, so it's no wonder that we're bored of the thick border around our glass rectangle. It looks and feels like yesterday. Most of us will accept some functional compromise to get the feeling that we're holding the future in our hands, and that's what the bezel-less design represents.
The 2020 Hyundai Sonata goes in a bold new design direction, with LED streaks on its hood and sleeker bodywork all around. It starkly contrasts with the current Sonata's conservative design.


The academy will be closed on December 24 and will reopen for classes on January 2nd. So last regular class day is Monday 12/23. Come get some holiday Jiu-Jitsu in before Xmas!! If we don't see you, Have a safe and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Xenon lights guide space shuttle Atlantis down on the Shuttle Landing Facility's Runway 15 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the final time. Securing the space shuttle fleet's place in history, Atlantis marked the 26th nighttime landing of NASA's Space Shuttle Program and the 78th landing at Kennedy. Main gear touchdown was at 5:57:00 a.m. EDT, followed by nose gear touchdown at 5:57:20 a.m., and wheelstop at 5:57:54 a.m. On board are STS-135 Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Sandra Magnus and Rex Walheim.

Connacht Make Three Changes For League Derby
Michael Bradley has made three changes and one positional switch to the Connacht team for Friday's Magners League derby clash with Leinster at the Sportsground (kick-off 7.30pm).
Keith Matthews returns to the westerners' starting line-up for the first time since November, having recovered from an ankle injury sustained against Cetransa El Salvador. He has been selected on the right wing.
Conor O'Loughlin comes back in at scrum half, while, in the forwards, John Muldoon moves to blindside flanker in place of the injured Michael McCarthy, with Colm Rigney being promoted back into the side at number 8.
Coach Michael Bradley, whose side sit bottom of the league table, said: "We came back after losing to Ulster to overcome Glasgow and we will do it again. This side has ample character.
"Both ourselves and Leinster will be looking for a lot out of the fixture. They will be coming here looking to push their advantage at the top, but their visits to Galway have always produced close, exciting rugby. It's a local derby and we always look forward to the contests against the other provinces."
Connacht's chances of pulling off the win have not been helped by a lengthening injury list. John Hearty (hip), the aforementioned McCarthy (shoulder), Daniel Riordan (hamstring), Ofisa Treviranus (leg) and Darren Yapp (calf) are all currently sidelined.
CONNACHT (v Leinster): Gavin Duffy; Keith Matthews, Matt Mostyn, Mel Deane, Aidan Wynne; Andy Dunne, Conor O'Loughlin; Brett Wilkinson, Adrian Flavin, Robbie Morris, Michael Swift, Andrew Farley (capt), John Muldoon, Johnny O'Connor, Colm Rigney.
Replacements: Joey Merrigan, Ronan Loughney, David Gannon, Ray Ofisa, Conor McPhillips, Tim Donnelly, Liam Bibo.

Mittelheuser Scholars-in-Residence
Past Mittelheuser Scholar-in-Residence award winners and their projects.
The Mittelheuser Scholar-in-Residence is awarded annually to attract leading thinkers who will develop new ideas, tools, strategies and services that benefit both Queensland's GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) sector and State Library of Queensland.
The recipient receives a stipend of $15,000, a personal work space within the Neil Roberts Research Lounge for 12 months and premium access to the extensive collections and expertise of library staff.
The Mittelheuser Scholar-in-Residence is supported by Dr Cathryn Mittelheuser AM through the Queensland Library Foundation, is awarded annually, with successful applicants selected through a combination of public EOIs and internal appointments.
The following people have undertaken the Mittelheuser Scholar-in-Residence:
2019 Mittelheuser Scholar-in-Residence Seth Ellis
The 2019 Mittelheuser Scholar-in-Residence was awarded to Seth Ellis for his project Sound as historical material: developing a new way of cataloguing, describing and accessing sound in the archive.
Seth's project proposed to develop a new way of cataloguing sounds within the State Library's collections - both historical, and newly collected. This would make historical sound more searchable and perceptible by researchers and the general public.
In audio visual collections, a single sound recording can provide the same multilayered information as a photograph: a multiplicity of details about experience that is physical and emotional. The examination of sound in this way can provide a rich understanding of experience.

2018 Mittelheuser Scholar-in-Residence Ephraim (Eddie) Jose
The 2018 Mittelheuser Scholar-in-Residence was awarded to Eddie Jose to give a masterclass at State Library to our Preservation team and art conservators from across Australia on the construction and use of traditional Japanese drying boards, called Karibari.
Ephraim (Eddie) Jose is an expert conservator and restorer of East Asian paintings, based in Seattle, USA. The masterpieces he has restored are in major museums and private collections worldwide including Ashmolean Museum, San Francisco Asian Art Museum, Honolulu Museum of Art, Tokyo National Museum, and Tokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties.
After training for more than a decade under the tutelage of Japan's most-respected master restorers, Eddie became the first non-Japanese conservator to be certified by the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs to conserve and restore Japanese national treasures, Important Paintings (1989). He conserves Chinese, Japanese and Korean art on paper and fabric, ranging from scrolls, folding screens, and sliding doors to woodblock prints, books and textiles. He also restores Indian and Persian miniature paintings, and Western and contemporary art on paper. Additionally, he established and conducted bi-annual workshops training monks from monasteries across the country of Bhutan over ten years, in restoring sacred thangka paintings.
A documentary film, 1000 Hands of the Guru: Saving Bhutan's Sacred Arts, was released about Eddie Jose's work to save and conserve Bhutanese Buddhist thangka paintings, while developing the preservation skills of their Buddhist caretakers in the remote Himalayas.

2017 Mittelheuser Scholar-in-Residence Tess Maunder
The 2017 Mittelheuser Scholar-in-Residence was awarded to Tess Maunder for her project Curating 'Digital Futures'.
Curating 'Digital Futures' is a selection of International case-studies examining the relationship between 'Digital Futures' and contemporary curatorial practice. It will engage with the question as to how an expanded role of the curatorial can help in understanding to the growing digital climate and its future.
In the last twenty years, the curatorial field has expanded beyond a traditional art-historical or museological approach to practice. Contemporary Curating is now considered a new field with many courses, publications and public programs dedicated to the field. Today, curatorial labour can include exhibitions, public programs, discursive platforms, online engagements, residencies, editorial projects and critical writing. Historically, the basis for this recent shift in contemporary curatorial practice was derived from the practices emerging out of New Institutionalism; such the practices of Maria Lind and Charles Esche, alongside the rise in prominence of the international biennale curator; through figures such as Okwui Enwezor and Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. Theorists and scholars in the field such as Paul O'Neill, Terry Smith, Irit Rogoff and Tirdad Zolghadr, to name a few, have each explored their own notions of this new idea of curating. But what is the relationship between contemporary curating and 'digital futures'? This research project aims to explore the relationship between the two, using international case-studies as examples for how professionals working in the Gallery, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) sector may better be able to conceptualise and integrate digital methodologies into their every day practices. Through the exposure of these international case-studies, professionals working in the Queensland based GLAM sector may be able to apply the same concepts, systems and methodologies for use within a localised Queensland context.

While the rest of Louisville was staring Saturday night into the evening sky at the massive fireworks that is Thunder Over Louisville, I was hovering 2,000 feet overhead and hanging out the open door of a helicopter in search for the perfect photograph.
It was my fourth time flying over the city's grand party and just after 9 p.m. when I buckled into the small R22 helicopter at the Clark County Airport in Indiana.
René, my pilot, had never seen Thunder before. I'd been here before and the results weren't great, so I had already made the decision that this would be my last attempt if the photos weren't what I came for.
The best photographs are like a great book or a great movie: They have layers. That's where you find the context for great storytelling, except instead of words and dialogue, photographers use pixels and film.
When I'm photographing a subject, I'm always thinking about the context, the background, the layers. How does the background help me tell the story?
So, when I'm trying to capture something as large and iconic as Thunder Over Louisville, the rules really don't change — they just scale up.
As I mentioned, my three previous attempts to capture Thunder from the air were valiant but all fell short. I never got an image worth running on the press. Great seat for the show, but nothing to show for it.
The big problem was the technology just wasn't good enough yet — the helicopter shook too much and the images were either too shaky or too dark.
Enter the Kenyon Gyro Stabilizer KS-6, a wonderful device that allows to produce rock-steady images by negating the vibration and motion of the helicopter. Granted, flying with one in your hand is an exercise in patience, but in the end it kept my camera as steady as if it were on a tripod on the ground, rather than dangling out the open door of a helicopter.
Rock solid, kind of like the small gyros on the newer drones.
Why didn't we just use a drone? We do have three FAA-approved drone pilots on staff and a pretty sweet DJI Inspire 2 drone. But flight restrictions in an already busy flight corridor and the waivers required for flying after dark kept it grounded.
There's also the problem of altitude. Drones are limited to 400 feet above ground level. Most of the images that I made were shot at 1,000 to 2,000 feet so I could see the city lights spreading into the distance with the fireworks layered on top.
The result is what you see before you, and I have to say, I was pleased with what I captured. I see the potential for even better images next year.
The layers will be there. I just need to decide what story to tell.


#shfl11: Husky Rescue – Sleep Tight Tiger – Just Another Social Profile Really.
So, for the first time since starting #shfl11, clicking shuffle on my iPod brought up a track that I've never listened to, by a band I've never heard of, off an album (The Art Of Chill 4, compiled by The Orb) that I'd forgotten I owned. Which was kind of the idea of this rather pointless exercise in the 1st place.
So, what's Sleep Tight Tiger by Husky Rescue like? Well, actually, it's pretty good. It sounds like a demo for a Twin Peaks soundtrack, has a husky voiced man (who in my imagination looks like Sebastien Tellier) wishing a tiger a good night's sleep, and is really rather soothing. Strange, but soothing.
According to Wikipedia (so it must be true) Husky Rescue is the brain-child of Finnish composer Marko Nyberg and, in a pleasing coincidence for a blog primarily concerned with music & marketing, have had a few tracks used in ads. This one, New Light Of Tomorrow, was used in a P&O commercial. Which is nice, as is the song. Enjoy.
#shfl11 is a self-set challenge to write a post every day in 2011 about whatever song pops up 1st on shuffle on my iPod.
I used to play HR's album 'Country Falls' the office fairly frequently. It's very likely you have heard this track before.

Marco Pantani (2) - realistic acrylic painting by the Dutch fine artist Paul Meijering - The Original painting is 90 x 120 cm - sold to the Pantani Museum, Cesenatico in Italy Marco Pantani (13 January 1970 � 14 February 2004) was an Italian road racing cyclist, widely considered one of the best climbers of his era in professional road bicycle racing. He won both the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia in 1998, being the sixth Italian after Ottavio Bottecchia, Gino Bartali, Fausto Coppi, Felice Gimondi and Gastone Nencini to win the Tour de France. He is the last cyclist to win the Giro and the Tour in the same year. Pantani's attacking style and aggressive riding turned him into a fan favorite in the late 1990s. He was known as "Il Pirata" (English: "The pirate") because of his shaved head and the bandana and earrings he always wore. At 1.72 m and 57 kg, he had the classic build for a mountain climber. His style contrasted with that of time-trialling experts such as the five...
About Paul Meijering
For almost 33 years now, Paul Meijering has been active with the paint brushes. As a 17- year old inspired youngster he joined the Academy of Arts in Enschede (Holland) in order to receive a native training in drawing- and painting technique. At that time (1980) the tendency of the abstract was running riot, and to his dismay and disappointment Paul found that the trade of the ancient masters was merely 'old hat', the realistic art being disregarded and looked down upon. After two years of useless botchery, there was only one conclusion to draw: "get autodidact, be a self-taught person!" Paul then left the academy to work for a living, but at the back of his mind there always loomed the passion of his life: to paint. At his spare time...

ITC Final Initial Determination: Apple Devices Infringe Qualcomm Patent but No Exclusion Order
By Gene Quinn & Steve Brachmann
"A property right that costs significant sums to obtain and keep is a net negative when those who trespass are given a free pass rather than a penalty.
Several weeks ago, the U.S. International Trade Commission issued a notice regarding final initial determination and recommended determination in a Section 337 patent infringement investigation filed by San Diego, CA-based semiconductor developer Qualcomm against Cupertino, CA-based consumer gadget giant Apple. Although the notice, signed by administrative law judge (ALJ) Thomas Pender, found that accused products imported for sale by Apple infringed upon infringed upon a patent claim asserted by Qualcomm, ALJ Pender recommended against issuing a limited exclusion order for those infringing products.
ALJ Pender's initial determination in the Section 337 investigation found that certain mobile electronic devices and radio frequency and processing components thereof marketed by Apple infringed upon asserted claim 31 of U.S. Patent No. 9535490, titled Power Saving Techniques in Computing Devices. Claim 31 of this patent covers a mobile terminal comprising a modem timer, a modem processor configured to hold modem processor to application processor data until expiration of the modem timer, an application processor configured to hold application processor to modem processor data until the modem processor pulls data from the application processor, and then an interconnectivity bus communicatively coupling the application processor to the modem processor. The invention covered by this patent enables the use of faster internal buses in mobile devices to handle high data rates while addressing issues with excessive power consumption leading to shorter battery life.
The initial determination issued by ALJ Pender also found that Apple was not guilty of infringing upon two other patents asserted by Qualcomm: U.S. Patent No. 8698558, titled Low-Voltage Power-Efficient Envelope Tracker; and U.S. Patent No. 8633936, titled Programmable Streaming Processor with Mixed Precision Instruction Execution. Asserted claim 7 of the '558 patent covered an apparatus for wireless communication wherein a supply generator is operative to generate a second supply voltage for a power amplifier based on an envelope signal and either a boosted supply voltage or a first supply voltage. The '558 patent covers techniques for generating a power supply for an amplifier in a way that allows the amplifier to high output power with a low battery voltage. Asserted claim 19 of the '936 patent claims a device having a controller configured to receive a graphics instruction for execution within a programmable streaming processor and a plurality of execution units within the processor which are selectable by the controller. The '936 patent covers an advance to graphics processing circuitry that can perform advanced graphics operation such as shading without requiring more power or excessive physical space within a device.
For the infringement of the '490 patent, ALJ Pender noted that he did find a violation of Section 337 committed by Apple. ALJ Pender also concluded in the initial determination that the technical prong of the domestic industry requirement was satisfied with respect to the '490 patent, that the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement was satisfied by all of Qualcomm's asserted patents and that no clear or convincing evidence has been shown that renders any asserted patent claim invalid.
Rather shockingly, despite finding patent infringement under Section 337 and upholding the validity of Qualcomm's asserted patents, ALJ Pender found that the statutory public interest factors weighed against issuing a limited exclusion order in this case. This turns the victory for Qualcomm into nothing more than a pyrrhic victory at best given that the only remedy the ITC can hand out are exclusion orders and cease and desist orders. The ITC does not have any jurisdiction to hand out monetary damages. So what exactly would Qualcomm receive for Apple's infringement? What exactly would Apple be required to pay or change as the result of engaging in infringing behavior? It would seem that there will be no remedy for Qualcomm under ALJ Pender's decision, and no consequences for Apple infringing the patent claims that have been confirmed valid.
The statutory public interest factors considered by the ITC in Section 337 cases include public health and welfare, competitive conditions in the U.S. economy, the production of like or directly competitive articles in the U.S., and U.S. consumers. Qualcomm's Section 337 complaint filed with the ITC last July included a statement on the public interest in which it argued that the public interest wouldn't be harmed by a limited exclusion order. Qualcomm was seeking exclusion of Apple mobile electronic devices which didn't employ a Qualcomm baseband processor modem, noting that Apple did import devices which had such Qualcomm processors in them. Further, the accused products didn't serve an essential public health or welfare objective, any demand for excluded products could be filled and U.S. consumers wouldn't face a shortage of like products. Qualcomm had also argued that the requested remedial relief would support the strong public interest in upholding intellectual property rights for highly innovative companies.
Obviously, patents have no value to an innovator when the claims can be confirmed valid by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction and then infringement forgiven without consequences. In fact, patent infringers who are allowed to infringe valid patents without consequence present an extraordinary cost to innovators. Not only do innovators not obtain benefit from the exclusive rights they are supposed to be awarded, but they have paid for and continue through maintenance fees to pay for an asset that is worthless. A property right that costs significant sums to obtain and keep is a net negative when those who trespass are given a free pass rather than a penalty.
The term "final initial decision" made pursuant to 19 C.F.R. 21.42 may make this decision seem final and preliminary at the same time, which is correct. The final initial determination by the ALJ is the final determination that will be made by the ALJ prior to consideration by the Commission. Any party to the investigation can seek review by the Commission. 19 C.F.R. 210.43(a). And the Commission has to decide whether to grant, in whole or in part, a petition for review of an initial determination filed pursuant to within 45 days of the service of the initial determination on the parties, or by such other time as the Commission may order. See 19 C.F.R. 210.43(d). Thus, this matter is likely far from being over.

So let me get this straight:
If you're really, really, really successful with your product, it's effectively A-O.K. (no use restrictions) to (have) rip(ped) off the actual inventor … 'cause, you know … inventions are made to be ripped off.

This should not be a surprise for a product that so much of the public and government have become so dependent on. Another good reason why regular D.C. infringement suits should be filed in parallel with ITC proceedings.

"Rather shockingly,… ALJ Pender found that the statutory public interest factors weighed against issuing a limited exclusion order in this case."
What were those factors, and how did ALJ Pender weigh them?
I.e., include (are there more? are there more here?)
public health and welfare,
competitive conditions in the U.S. economy,
the production of like or directly competitive articles in the U.S., and U.S. consumers.
It appears that Qualcomm provided a position on each of these. Did Apple counter? Did the ALJ provide any reasoning? Was there any merit there? Was there any "there" there?
(apologies for being lazy and not looking into the decision directly myself….)

Q: How to find document through nested children id I have nested children in my document i want find document any children._id
my document look like below.
For Example:
I want this children._id "PxX4EYMYVDOphx8XU" how to find this document.
[{
  "_id": "v4jdHchuogyumed7f",
  "name": "products",
  "children": [{
    "_id": "fDE1kyR081Y44aO7h",
    "name": "Clothes",
    "children": [{
      "_id": "l464EYMYVDOphx8XU",
      "name": "Shoes",
      "children": [{
        "_id": "PxX4EYMYVDOphx8XU",
        "name": "Black Shoes"
      }]
    }, {
      "_id": "gUHcdTuPxXhauIWaZ",
      "name": "Shirts"
    }]
  }, {
    "_id": "svcdrpPybHJf0KiBi",

    "children": [{
      "_id": "gdEk85byoRCWxStTf",
      "name": "Red Flowers"
    }]
  }]
}]

A: You need to recursively walk the object and match _id then return the parent object. An example could be.

var walk = returnExports;
var x = [{
  "_id": "v4jdHchuogyumed7f",
  "name": "products",
  "children": [{
    "_id": "fDE1kyR081Y44aO7h",
    "name": "Clothes",
    "children": [{
      "_id": "l464EYMYVDOphx8XU",
      "name": "Shoes",
      "children": [{
        "_id": "PxX4EYMYVDOphx8XU",
        "name": "Black Shoes"
      }]
    }, {
      "_id": "gUHcdTuPxXhauIWaZ",
      "name": "Shirts"
    }]
  }, {
    "_id": "svcdrpPybHJf0KiBi",
    "name": "Flowers",
    "children": [{
      "_id": "gdEk85byoRCWxStTf",
      "name": "Red Flowers"
    }]
  }]
}];
var find = 'PxX4EYMYVDOphx8XU';
var children;
var parent;
walk(x, Object.keys, function(value, prop, object, depth) {
  if (prop === 'children' && Array.isArray(value)) {
    children = value;
    walk.STOP;
  }
  if (prop === '_id' && value === find) {
    parent = children.find(function(obj) {
      return object._id === find;
    });
    return walk.BREAK;
  }
});
console.log(parent);

Mahlathini (* 1938 in Newcastle, Südafrika, als Simon Nkabinde; † 27. Juli 1999 in Johannesburg) war ein afrikanischer Sänger mit dem Spitznamen The Lion of Soweto. Seine Stilrichtung war Mbaqanga, eine Form der südafrikanischen Popmusik.

Leben
Er wuchs im Township Alexandra in Johannesburg auf und kam durch seinen Bruder Zeph zur Musik, der mit seiner Band Alexander Black Mambazo recht erfolgreich war, und von denen Ladysmith Black Mambazo später den Namen übernahmen. Für die Gallo Record Company arbeitete er 1964 als Studiomusiker. Von 1964 bis 1997 (ab 1984 mit dem Produzenten West Nkosi) sang er mit den Mahotella Queens zusammen, instrumentell begleitet von der Makgona Tsohle Band. Diese Band aus Pretoria wurde 1964 vom Musikproduzenten Rupert Bopape entdeckt. Marks Mankwane († 1998) spielte die Gitarre, Joseph Makwela eine elektrische Bassgitarre.

Seine erste internationale Beachtung erhielt Mahlathini 1985 durch einen Beitrag für die Zusammenstellung The Indestructible Beat of Soweto. Am 11. Juni 1988 traten sie auf dem Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute Concert auf. Drei Jahre später, 1991, spielten sie mit Paul Simon vor mehr als 500.000 Menschen im Central Park in New York.

Mahlathini verstarb nach monatelanger Krankheit an den Folgen eines Diabetes. Im Post-Apartheid-Johannesburg wurde die ehemalige Minnaar Street in Fordsburg Mahlathini gewidmet.

As regards examination,there has been a heated discussion among the general public in oursociety.
To begin with,examination helps to tell the better-behaved from the worse-behaved students.
What's more,examination may stimulate the students to work harder.
Take Xiao Wang as an example, a student from Hebei Normal University, he used to have apoor command of English.
However, under the pressure of College English Test Band 4, he made great progress and cannow speak fluent English.
They maintain that examination can not always faithfully reflect one's study performance.
It is believed that too many students may be misled and neglect the improvement ofpractical ability.
Students should develop a right attitude towards it and strike a balance between examinationand practical ability achievement.
As a result of globalization and convenient interaction among different nations, a variety of native cultures are being or have been lost.
It's true of Chinese culture as well.
We may easily recognize all sorts of English courses in college education curriculum but fewof Chinese culture.
And these indicate that Chinese traditional culture has been ignored in college education.
As we all know, traditional culture represents the accumulated wisdom of our ancestors downthrough the ages and is a rich heritage to every Chinese.
For college students, successors of modernization construction, mastering of Chinese cultureis particularly of significance.
Besides, traditional culture education can promote the cultural awareness and patriotismamong college students.
Therefore, it's necessary and beneficial to integrate Chinese culture into college education.
To achieve this, colleges and universities should take effective measures to preserve thenative culture.
Cultural awareness should be promoted both through the courses and extracurricularactivities.
As for college students, we should actively be involved in the culture education.
Nowadays, more and more young people have joined the clan of thumbs.
They use SMS as their major communication channel.
It is also reported that SMS is the most frequently used function for the mobile phone users inChina besides making calls.
SMS has brought us many advantages.
Firstly, with the tip of your finger, messages including words, digital pictures and music can besent to another user within seconds.
Secondly, you can send one message to many users without rewriting it.
What's more, compared with making calls, SMS is much cheaper because the provider charges only 0.1 yuan per message.
However, short messages disturb our life sometimes.
Spam messages are quite annoying, and there are an increasing number of victims who have been cheated or fooled by them.
As for me, I prefer this way of communication.
It gives me much convenience to my daily life.
But I also hope some measures should be taken to punish those spreading spam messages so that we can enjoy the modern information technology safely.


At ASCO 2011, Ribas and colleagues presented results of the BRIM-2 study — a pivotal phase II trial of vemurafenib in previously treated patients with BRAFmutant metastatic melanoma.2 The goal of the study was to confirm the best overall response rate (ORR) of vemurafenib in previously treated patients with BRAF V600-mutated melanomas.
The trial was a single-arm, multicentre, open-label phase II trial in patients with stage IV disease who had received one or greater prior systemic therapy.
Patients had brain metastases controlled for at least three months following local therapy.
The primary endpoint was ORR as assessed by an independent review committee (IRC).
Secondary endpoints were duration of response, progressionfree survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety.
BRAF mutation status was determined using a PCR-based investigational, companion diagnostic assay (cobas 4800 BRAF V600 Mutation Test, Roche Molecular Systems).
Patients received oral vemurafenib at a dose of 960 mg twice daily until progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, or death.
The trial included 132 patients with a median age of 51.5 years, who were enrolled between October 2009 and March 2010 for a median follow up of 10 months (range: 0.6–14.7 months).
The ORR was 53% as assessed by independent review committee (IRC).
29% of patients had stable disease (SD).
There were no differences in response rates according to age, gender, performance status, disease stage, number of prior therapies or prior therapy with high-dose interleukin- 2 (IL-2).
There was a difference in response rates based on baseline LDH levels with higher response rates in patients with a normal LDH and a lower response rate in patients with a baseline LDH of greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN).
The median duration of response was 6.8 months (95% CI: 5.6–not reached).
The OS at six months was 77% (95% CI: 70–85) and at 12 months was 58% (95% CI: 49–67).
Adverse events (AEs) were generally reversible (with dose modification or interruption).
The most common AEs (all grades) were arthralgia (seen in 59% of patients), rash (52%), and photosensitivity reaction (52%).
The most common grade 3 AE was cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (seen in 26% of patients), the majority of which were centrally reviewed as keratoacanthoma-type.
45% of patients required dose reductions, most commonly for rash, arthralgia, and liver function test abnormalities.
64% of patients had dose interruptions due to AEs.
The median daily dose was 91% of the intended total dose.
Only four patients discontinued therapy due to drug-related AEs.
Based on positive results as assessed by the primary endpoint of ORR, the BRIM-2 trial confirms that vemurafenib is an active agent in patients with BRAF mutation-positive melanoma who have completed prior systemic therapy.
The trial met its primary endpoint, with an ORR of 53% and a 95% CI that excludes an ORR of 20%.
The toxicity profile of vemurafenib at 960 mg twice daily is manageable, with most AEs being reversible with dose modification or interruption.
The longer follow up of this study is complementary to the benefits in OS seen in the BRIM-3 trial: together, these trials provide evidence that vemurafenib is an effective agent for the treatment of patients with BRAF V600 mutation–positive melanoma.

Home Race & Racism One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
Clinton Jarman
In a recent European Championship qualifying game, England thrashed Bulgaria 6-0. Sadly, though this is not what the match will be remembered for. It will rather be remembered for the game twice being stopped because English players were subject to racist abuse by a section of Bulgarian fans. Some English players before the match had said that if there were any incidents that the team was willing to either not go out or walk off the field. While the English team fell short of those two measures, they did delay the start of the game and the game also had to be stopped because of the abuse continuing. That section of the stadium was eventually cleared out and England won the game handsomely.
Some pundits have said in the media that the English coach Gareth Southgate and his team missed an opportunity by not making a stronger statement and leaving the field. I, however, have a different view. I applaud the team for having the courage to delay the game twice until they felt ready to continue. I think that the team had qualifying in mind and that is perhaps the reason they did not walk off the pitch, in fear that they would be penalized points and put qualification in jeopardy. I think from that standpoint they approached the situation correctly and had they already qualified I believe they would have walked off the field. I'm glad that footballers are taking it amongst themselves to take a stand against this behavior that ruins the beautiful game and I think that their actions will lead to more statements and stronger statements by players the world over.
EUFA has a 3-step protocol for events such as this and it was supposedly used at the match. The first step of the protocol is to stop the match and make an announcement to the fans to stop the discriminatory behavior.
The second step is to remove the players from the field if the announcement is not adhered to.
The final step is to abandon the match if the behavior continues or starts up again.
My question though is why 3 steps? Why do racists have three chances to get it right? In any other profession or sphere of life, racist abuse would not be tolerated and depending on where you are you might get hurt or sued for engaging in such behavior. Certainly, if it happened at your job the perpetrator would be fired. So why do hooligans get 3 chances? In my opinion, if the behavior is clear enough for players not to want to take the field or stop the game then that match should be abandoned, and the points given to the opposing team. Only until football federations take a stronger stance against this disgusting behavior will we make real progress in the fight to kick racism out of football. If you've read my previous articles on the subject, you will know my stance and how severe I think the punishments need to be to get this behavior out of the sport I love to watch. It's sad that players themselves now have to take a stand but it's come to that now and I hope that what the English team did the other day will be the straw that broke the camels back and that more players, teams and coaches will take a similar approach.
I hope that we can educate young fans that are seeing this and show them that this kind of behavior is not to be tolerated and that they have the power to change the world. The answer is and always has been education. The more people we can educate about racism the less racist people we will have in the world.
UEFA has seen fit to punish Italian club Lazio with a partial stadium closure for a Europa League game. They have also given them a suspended stadium closure sentence for one year. Meaning that if they are found guilty within that year that they will have to play 1 match behind closed doors. While I applaud them for a step in the right direction, I also think that the punishment is not severe enough. Lazio, on the other hand, has appealed, not to the guilty verdict but the severity of the punishment. I think that is a disgrace by them. And what they are saying is okay our fans were racist, but we think we should get away with a lesser punishment. As I've said, in my view that punishment is nowhere near enough so I think Lazio should take their medicine and get their fans in line or suffer whatever punishment deemed appropriate!

Leading Environmental, Custodial and Maintenance Service Company Servicon Prepared to Combat Monkeypox
CULVER CITY, CALIF. (PRWEB) AUGUST 31, 2022
Servicon, Southern California's leading hospital environmental services (EVS) provider and commercial cleaning services company, is keeping clients' facilities and their occupants safe and informed in the face of the growing monkeypox outbreak.
With more than 25,000 cases worldwide and at least 10 reported deaths, monkeypox has been declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization and a U.S. public health emergency by the Biden administration.
As experts in infection prevention—and an organization with a 98% voluntary employee COVID-19 vaccination rate—Servicon has extensive experience in dealing with viruses and other pathogens. The company offers several services to protect facilities and their occupants against the spread of monkeypox, SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19), and other viruses and pathogens. Included in its infection-prevention arsenal are the company's Protect & Disinfect and Ultimate Protect & Disinfect services; which program is called for depends on the facility's likelihood of exposure.
In addition to its infection-prevention services, Servicon is ensuring its clients and employees have the latest information about monkeypox.
"As we have done throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and during any major health concern, we are in communication with our clients and our employees to ensure they have the latest information on the monkeypox outbreak," says Servicon CEO Laurie Sewell. "We have several thoroughly researched articles on monkeypox on our website, including an FAQ and specific information for EVS hospital staff to ensure they understand how the virus is transmitted, its symptoms, and what precautions to take to protect themselves and their patients. We are ready and able to tackle monkeypox at any of our clients' facilities."
About Monkeypox
Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection by the monkeypox virus. The virus belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus, which also includes the virus that causes smallpox. The first human case of monkeypox was recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Until the recent outbreak, cases outside Africa have been mainly tied to international travel or imported animals.
Monkeypox is believed to be transmitted from person to person primarily through direct contact with lesions or contaminated materials, such as clothing or bed linens. The virus also can be transmitted through respiratory droplets, although because of their weight, the droplets don't stay airborne for long.
Symptoms of monkeypox in humans usually appear between seven and 14 days, although they can occur anytime within five and 21 days. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, chills, and exhaustion. Infected individuals typically develop a rash starting on the face that spreads to other parts of the body within three days of having a fever. Symptoms usually last two to four weeks.
At Servicon, we are dedicated to providing exemplary hospital environmental services (EVS) and commercial cleaning and facility maintenance services for complex facilities throughout Southern California and the surrounding areas. We service a variety of industries, including healthcare, aerospace, municipal, manufacturing, and entertainment. At Servicon, we live by our purpose: to elevate the industry and provide healthy environments for people to thrive. Women-owned and operated, we work and live by our vision of creating a better working future.

Q: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() when counting array length I am trying to styling border in laravel excel. But when i try to count some array length for dynamic border size, it returns an error message :

"Invalid argument supplied for foreach()";

Here is my code:

Thanks for helping.

A: i think you are getting the error in the inner loop. you need to check if $item is available.
public function registerEvents(): array

        $aset = AsetBergerak::find($this->id_aset);
        $aset_view = ViewAset::find($this->id_aset);

Posted November 13, 2015 : Business, Featured, Front Page, News.
That's Sarnia Lambton MPP Bob Bailey's analysis after the provincial government moved forward selling off 13.6 per cent of Hydro One, despite a huge public outcry.
The public utility was offered on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the first time Nov. 5 and brought in $1.66 billion for the government. The Liberal government wants to fund transit infrastructure with the cash and plans to sell off 60 per cent of the utility while retaining 40 per cent control at the province.
Bailey, speaking a day after the stock offering, told The Independent it would be "next to impossible" to see that portion of the public utility bought back in the future.
"We were hoping that now, with the change in the federal government, the Premier would change her mind," he says.
But he's worried about the downside saying the Financial Accountability Officer has already said the province is overestimating how much the stock offering will bring in and that the Liberals have discounted the fact the province will lose $700 million in annual revenue because of the sale.
Bailey adds rural MPPs will have to work hard to make sure taxpayers here get some of the benefit of the sale of the important public asset getting some of the money from the sale of Hydro One which is earmarked for infrastructure to southern Ontario.
