Its Wednesday, yesterday Moira and i went to do a garden in the afternoon which took until at least 8.00, i couldnt be bothered to put the computor on and practice the ukulele, i just practiced the ukulele instead.
the weekend went well, we had Irene here until Sunday, Friday night we went to Pepes, for the first time in years Irene was able to walk there thanks to her hip recent hip operation.
Saturday i worked all day but got home in time to go to the garden centre, no, we went to the garden centre Friday after work, Saturday after work i came home and did very little until it was time to go to Chez Luisette with Irena and Inger. the portions have got noticably bigger, quality is still good.
Sunday as we needed to take Irene to Girona airport for 4.00 we decided to go via Callela del Palafrugue as she had never been there at to be honest its a lovely part of the world, Moirsa bought a bikini as shew did the last time we went there, and then we ate in a restaurant that we wanted to eat in again the last time we went there.
tonight Isabele and Stewart are taking us to the Italian in Empuria Brava as they will not be her for my birthday and they couldnt find the restaurant when they last went to look for it.
it was tuesday yesterday and i didnt realise, i knew it was Tuesday and not Monday but as it ws the first day back to work i had kind of lost the routine, also we have Irene staying, guests tend to dsisturb the routine which to be honest is a good thing.
Easter has been and gone, Friday i worked for myself while Moira help painted Irenas house with Inger. when i finished we all met up in Carmens for lunch, which finished of Friday.
Saturday we both worked as in Moira had a stall at the village doughnutand sherry fair, she did ok, made a bit of money. we stayed in that night.
Sunday, day of, worked in our own garden and fixed the gate. then we went for a walk finished of in Pepes for a couple. but not to many as i was going to collect Irene from the airport that night.
Monday we all went on the boat trip from Roses to Cadacues, Irena has always wanted to do it, its easy, you sit down and the boat takes care of the rest. we had lunch in Roses so we stayed in for the evening also a day doing nothing can be quite tiring.
Tuesday back to work Jesus is on holiday so this week i am the boss.
lost the internet again, it wasnt working the end of last week just after 4 days of traumontana, something we havent had much of this year, we called them on Saturday and it was fixed Sunday afternoon after we had gone round to Ingers to call family. Monday a man came round to insatll a more modern router, what is more modern about he didnt say, it doesnt make anything any faster.
Thursday night a part from being Joanna night, half way through speaking catalan she said could we speak english as there was a book laungc in the small local library the she would like to go to, i went with her, the book was a cook book writen while the auther was recovering from a stomach reduction operation, the whole event was in Catalan, i pretty much understood all of it but didnt by the book, it was very traditional catalan cooking, not good for a vegetarian and i didnt like the cake she had made, which is saying something as it was covered in chocolate.
Friday night we went up to Pepes as usual and as Cerries mum and Dad were leaving the next day and they where going to be there.
Saturday i worked all day and we satyed in that night after feeding the street cats, down by Chez Louisette. not only had we no internet but it seems the traumontana had messed around with the tv cables as well and the reception for spanish tv wasnt workinfg very well, i think ive sorted, retuned everything and wiggled the airial cable around a bit.
Sunday was a beautiful day, we went to L'Escala for a walk along the prom as the tamarix are in flower at the moment and the prom has them planted all along. we stopped for a picnic beer at the end of the market, having bought nuts and mini avocados.
planted the polly tomatoes in the garden and showed Moira how to water them.
writing this time on Moiras old computor, finaly got round to it as its so much easier writing it on the ipod using a blue tooth keyboard. the ipod is charging, so i had no choice, i could have waited offcoarse. it also took me a while to find the site as it seems Avast doesnt like wordpress, anyway im here now, ready to go.
As usual we went to Pepes on Friday night but this time we had not only Cerrie and Sonny, but Cerries mum and dad, Ian and his son Stuart and also Inger. i ended up mostly speaking to Cerries mum, Fran, we put the world to rights.
Saturday i worked most of the day while Moira worked on the house. we stayed in that night and feel asleep infront of the tele being kept warm by the spotlesly clean fire place, what a difference it makes.
Sunday we went to one of my favourite shops in Castello de Empuries to get cat biscuits for the street cats, organic liquid fertilizes for the tomatoes and to thyme plants.it was a lovely day if not a bit windy so we took a walk down the Muga to Empuria brava for a beer in Canela, they recognise us in there which is icredible as we only go about twice a year. that afternoon i got round to mowing our lawn and admired the flowers on the pea plants, new discovery, shredded bourganvillia keep the snails away.
today i, thanks to Cerries mum and dad being here, and being able to look after Sonny, i got my christmas masage/mot form Cerrie. hips where a bit wonky but everything else is fine, i can carry on being a gardener for one more year.

The film boasts of never- seen-before visual effects in Indian cinema. In fact, the budget of the sequel was increased seeing the tremendous success and fan following of the first Baahubali film released in 2015, which ended on a cliff hanger and left audiences gasping with the question "Why Kattappa Killed Baahubali?".
Even though Aamir Khan's Dangal lost its top position to Baahubali 2, the wrestling biopic still has reasons to celebrate. The film's epic run in China recently has put its Worldwide gross box office figure at 931 crores.

Dedicated Server is a physical server that is wholly dedicated to a single customer.
No additional customers can be hosted on the Dedicated Server. Dedicated Server ensures high performance and security of the users.
Managed Hosting service is entirely an IT provisioning model. With this hosting service, the service provider leases several dedicated servers along with associated hardware to a client.
The entire equipment setup remains the hosting provider and is managed by the service provider.

Glad that helped Rohan. thanks!
Great post, Navin. One of the biggest problems website owners or newbie bloggers are facing is the ability to identify the best hosting service. There are numerous hosting providers in the matketplace, your article is an eye openner.
Thanks, Moss, yeah you are right we all faced it at a time when things are not that clear. I believe, Choosing the best hosting for the website is similarly important as writing compelling content.
have a great day week ahead!
Thank you so much to tell how to choose best wordpress hosting. Keep it up.
When it comes to choose the best WordPress hosting, people have lot of options that may confuse them. I like the idea of dedicated Ip as it helps to stay secure and spam free.
It is always good to choose a reliable web hosting such as Siteground. Thanks!
Hi Gaurav, I agree with you certainly hosting has a lot of indirect impacts on plenty of things. It's wise to be on the right one.
I Really enjoy reading your blog contents, And thanks for this one.
This is very nice post Thank you for guiding with tips on choosing the Best WordPress Hosting. will consider these.
You have well explained about hosting. i do not like to use Hostgator beacuse hostgator doesn't have a good support. i am using cloudways and i am loving it.
Thanks for doind hard work for hosting information.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, appreciate it. My opinion on Hostgator varies a bit. I found Hostgator is a quality hosting provider and their support too quite impressive even for the new and old customers. It might just be a coincidence, you haven't faced a quality revert.
I enjoy reading blog posts about web hosting. To be honest, I don't know why. A2 Hosting, SiteGround, WPENGINE – these are my favorite web hosting companies.
I was thinking for a long time to start a blog about web hosting niche, but I came to the conclusion that no one would be interested in reading it.
Because choosing the best web hosting for your blog takes one day.
What do you, think, Navin? Would you be interested in reading something interesting every day about a web hosting market?
Hey Alex, I do agree, when it comes to shared hosting SiteGround is the best in the market right now. WP Engine definitely offers an advanced level of plans for premium users. Though, its bit expensive so not suitable for all level of websites.
Coming to your thought of starting a blog solely on web hosting niche – Most of the niches are really saturated and people always seek to know something new. Here the question goes to you, Do you always like to read the similar topics? No Right… With this, we can know the audience viewpoint.
If you are only writing about web hosting, people sooner or later realizes soon or later you are blogging solely for selling affiliates. Not Good for the long run!
That's just my Opinion, certainly, the decision will be yours! I hope I am clear with the answer. Feel free to revert back!

At BCG, Innovators view the world from unexpected angles. They bring creativity and a fresh perspective to every challenge they face. Tariq finds clarity in a complex world.
My role models at BCG are the people I work with every day. It's incredible to see the level of dedication, tenacity, and thinking that everyone brings to the table.
My background before coming to BCG was in electrical engineering. BCG has opened my eyes to many different functional areas and industry practices, including private equity, technology, and telecommunications, where I have been able to explore many of my interests. My cases have been extremely rewarding, as we work hand in hand with our clients to deliver value and push the way they think about their problems.
BCG has given me the opportunity to work with many people of diverse backgrounds. You quickly realize that everyone is there to support each other and ensure overall success of the case. Working with many different people, both within BCG and with clients, has allowed me to not only learn from others but also adapt to different working styles—and this is extremely exciting.
Tariq holds both a bachelor's and master's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Waterloo as well as an MBA from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto.
A: In my first year on the job, I learned numerous things but notably three things come to mind. First, everyone on the case team has a voice. Whether you're a partner, an associate, a consultant, it doesn't matter—there is no hierarchy when it comes to contribution. Everyone is given the opportunity to drive and deliver value for the case team. Coming from industry, this type of working model is very different and I quickly learned how valuable it is. Second, the type of work that is done at BCG varies so much that you can always find something that interests you. I've had the opportunity to work on a few cases that have aligned with my interests, and that makes the job all the more exciting. Third, there is something to be learned from every member on the case team. Some of the best advice and on-the-job training I've received has come from associates who were experienced and willing to help me out when I got started.
A: BCG has helped me grow in many ways. First, through direct and indirect mentors. BCG assigns you formal mentors when you start to help you navigate the company, the people, and the work. Furthermore, as I began working on cases, I developed many informal mentors of differing levels of seniority who have been valuable in giving me advice and support. Second, BCG has provided formal training sessions, giving me skills that I've been able to directly apply in my day-to-day client work. Finally, BCG has allowed me to nurture my interests while ensuring I develop the skills I need to succeed. I have been able to work on interesting cases that have allowed me to add new skills to my toolkit.
A: Some of my favorite places in the world include Kyrgyzstan and Nepal. I've had an opportunity to travel to both places for very different reasons but in both cases fell in love with both countries. The common thread between both of those places is how warm the people are, how much they try to help one another, and of course how beautiful the countries themselves are.

Dividend.com: EOG Gushes Profits
The company reported gains in the third quarter and sees continued growth output for the year.
Tom Reese and Paul Rubillo
Nov 4, 2008 2:07 PM EST
Macerich Facing Tough Mall Environment
(MAC) - Get Report
, a mall operator, reported late Monday that its FFO (funds from operations) for the third quarter rose to $102.1 million, or $1.16 per share, from $111 million, or $1.15 per share, a year earlier.
The company said it did see occupancy during the quarter fall to 92.8%, down from 93.5% a year earlier. The average sales per square foot at its malls also rose to $463 from $460.
The company took a hit from retailer Mervyn's LLC, Macerich's largest tenant, which recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
We had removed shares of MAC from our "Recommended" list back on Sept. 29, when shares traded at $65.10. We are very concerned that REIT investors need to carefully look at the specific sector of REIT investing if there is a desire to get REIT income. We would focus on better areas of the REIT business such as apartments and residential-focused companies as we move forward. The biggest may be the best positioned and have better access to credit lines in this environment.
Macerich is not recommended at this time, holding a Dividend.com Rating of 3.2 out of 5 stars.
Church & Dwight Uses Price Increases to Protect Profits
(CHD) - Get Report
just reported third-quarter net income of $49.0 million, compared with $51.7 million a year earlier.
The maker of Trojan condoms and Arm & Hammer baking soda beat market expectations for the third consecutive quarter this year as price increases and new products bolstered margins.
Management still sees 2008 EPS coming in a range of $2.83-$2.85. The consensus is for EPS of $2.83 for the year.
We had removed shares of CHD from our "Recommended" list back on Oct. 7, when the stock was trading at $62.83. The company has a dividend yield of 0.61%, based on last night's closing stock price of $59.43. We believe the stock has maintained some solid strength and is not far off its 52-week high. Seeing the stock trade at 20 times next year's EPS estimates with a low dividend yield does give us some pause at these levels. We are watching the shares closely and will keep investors posted of any potential ratings changes.
Church & Dwight is not recommended at this time, holding a Dividend.com Rating of 3.4 out of 5 stars.
EOG Resources Popping on Third Quarter Results
(EOG) - Get Report
just reported that its net profit jumped nearly eight-fold in the third quarter to $1.56 billion or $6.20 cents per share, compared with $202 million, or 82 cents per share, in the same period a year earlier.
The independent U.S. oil and gas company said it remains on track to reach its goal of growing oil and gas output 15% in 2008. The company said it is targeting growth of 10% to 14% in 2009, depending on natural gas price fluctuations.
We had removed shares of EOG from our "Recommended" list back on July 23, when shares traded at $106.43. The company has a dividend yield of 0.71%, based on last night's closing stock price of $75.78. The stock is enjoying a nice bounce so far, but it has a lot of work for the shares to do, as it is way down from its 52-week high of nearly $145. The stock is trading at 16 times the low end of 2009 EPS estimates, so there is downside risk here if energy prices fail to resume any sort of upturn.
EOG Resources is not recommended at this time, holding a Dividend.com Rating of 3.0 out of 5 stars.
Principal Financial Group Has a Tough Quarter
(PFG) - Get Report
just reported that its third-quarter net income plummeted 61% to $90.1 million, or 35 cents a share, from $232.3 million, or 87 cents a share, a year ago.
The company reported realized and unrealized losses that included $41 million related to Lehman Brothers Holdings, which filed for bankruptcy protection in September and $41.2 million related to Washington Mutual, which was acquired by JPMorgan Chase.
The company did have some positives with its life and health insurance division growing operating earnings by 23% while its international asset management business saw a 26% increase.
We have avoided shares of PFG since our early June coverage began and the shares were trading at $49.19. The company has a dividend yield of 2.01%, based on last night's closing stock price of $22.39. The stock trades at 8 times the low end of 2009 estimates, which makes the shares fairly valued. The shares have retrenched all the way back to its IPO levels in 2001. The company had recently cut its dividend in half to 45 cents and frozen its $500 million repurchase share program. We would most certainly like to see the shares consolidate a bit before digging in for a long-term commitment.
Principal Financial Group is not recommended at this time, holding a Dividend.com Rating of 2.6 out of 5 stars.

The Fingerboard
Is it important to for a performance to be exciting?
By GoPractice
February 21, 2022 in The Fingerboard
There are three basic considerations when one is a student working on a classical piece. The intentions of the performer, the composer and the audience. This was explained to me when I was eleven by a celebrity and then repeated or implied ( some opaque teaching styles ) by many great teachers over the years. Thinking or discussing the three, at least when working, offers a starting point.
This applies less to those truly gifted and artists of a variety of backgrounds and visions.
As one grows older and grant writing and professional decision making and management might add a fourth or fifth consideration. But to keep it simple, I mostly argue the three with a triple espresso at 11pm.
I recently started watching a few David Hurwitz Utube videos. Friends like him. His work is informative and digestible. I find him watchable because he is like the person sitting in the orchestra section during closed rehearsals. He discusses recordings but the information is relevant to musicians. I am not promoting Hurwitz but he is informative and more fun than academic books.
Hurwitz just posted a video about Neeme Järvi and it is an interesting overview and analysis of the business and artistic choices. Jarvi's approach is valid in my mind as I like it and Hurwitz's analysis makes sense. When I presented Järvi's Chandos recording of the Tchaik symphonies to my conducting teacher 30 years ago, he gave it a B+. I was excited about the recording but my teacher had studied with Szell and had then been working with Solti. Hmmm. I better understand how he listened to Jarvi's recording.
I do understand how music can be exciting to listeners. To players too, but like watching athletes win ( the recent Olympics ) some gold medal winners regardless of their words appear to be expressing relief. It is possible to understand that relief, not having crashed, to have done the most at that moment, and won! can be difficult to process.
When a student feels that they can come to me with a request, I am grateful. When they mention Mozart or Beethoven or Bach, I put them off immediately as the word "commitment" is used in the reply. So many kids think they can "skate by" because these works are accessible....

I agree with your 3 basic considerations.
I am uncertain as to what your questions seeks? Exciting to whom?
From a teacher's/student perspective, I see many students not so excited to learn pieces like the Accolay violin concerto in A minor or Viotti 23 as their introduction to Mozart. I too remember not liking these pieces. In that sense, I played them accurately and competently, but I was not satisfied. The applause from my recitals was standard obligatory applause. On the other hand, I remember watching a violin solo competition once where one student played the second mvt of the Tchaik Cto and another played the third. The one who played the second mvt played in tune, accurately, and performed well, but sounded very much like any other student version. The student who played the third mvt was not as in tune, made several mistakes, but he/she exuded excitement and enthusiasm. That student won a chance to perform.
From an audience member's perspective, I still get chills watching Bernstein conduct the Brahms Academic Overture, but not so much with other conductor's versions. Is it the quirky dancing that Bernstein did? Is it the physical aspect of excited animation? I don't really know. When a violinist ends a fast third mvt of a concerto and releases his/her bow in a dramatic and flashy manner, does that excite me? Well, ashamedly yes. I guess I am a bit shallow like that.
As to your comment about students requesting to play/learn Mozart, Beethoven, or Bach, I guess that really depends on the student's age, skill level, and stage in learning. I like challenging my students with big flashy composers and pieces, while knowing that they may not play them perfectly. I also know that they are pre-college and if they want to major in music, they will relearn these pieces. But you say "commitment"....perhaps a student who gets excited about being handed a Mozart or Bach piece might commit simply because it is now exciting?
I am not disagreeing with your statements, I am just not entirely sure where you are going with this and what "excitement" is supposed to mean. In the meantime, I will search up those videos that you mention to get some insight as to what you are asking/proposing.

I'm also not sure what the question is, exactly, but I do think it is important to *involve* the listener. Maybe "excitement" isn't always the right word, but we do want them to feel something: to reminisce, to feel love or loved, to bring about any number of emotions. And, while perhaps there are performers who outwardly exude emotion and perhaps are cold and calculating on the inside, I think the majority of great performers definitely feel something as they are playing or conducting.
I saw a master class once where the teacher asked the student: "where were you just now? It looked like you left the room, and the music sounded like it, too". To stay "there", focused, in the present moment, and feeling/delivering the emotion is what music is all about in the end.

The only thing I can offer is that during performances I found myself looking farther ahead than I would during normal practice sessions. Don't know why other than making sure no mistakes would happen or at least be ready for them .

Heifetz. Exciting to listen to nothing to look at. In fact, his facial expressions seemed "cold and calculating." To me, "exciting" does not necessarily mean physical expression, but I can always appreciate someone like Maxim Vengerov.
I was purposefully being vague. And apologize, but how does music or performance excite you? I think it helps to consider this. Does it mean thrilling, does it mean something that triggers emotion, hormones?
violinnewb's first reply included the Accolay and Viotti works. I would also like to include Seitz among others. We often teach these pieces to beginners so they better understand flair in phrasing, and better bow technique. How does one better play two octave arpeggios across strings and play triple- stops? This might be best when teacher assisted, but certainly we can learn on our own, based on how these composers presented them.
I felt something as a 6 year old in the rising theme of the in the closing of the "A" part of Handel, Suzuki book two. It made some sense to me but could not define it in words. I shredded that little Suzuki book record. Kept lifting the needle and replaying the section. My parents never complained about this obsessive behaviour. It was likely something I experienced at the group lesson but when I played it myself, the thrill was not all that great, but kept examining what I thought was heard.
As a player, during an Opera run, so much is driven by the audience. Opening and Closing nights have the audience driven thrill, 2nd casts and understudies offer new experiences. Getting audience response, like laughters and gasps reinforce that the are experiencing something.
Some excitement is technical, or intellectual? When I hear something different that is accomplished with expertise, that is exciting. Giving the audience the surprise or the anticipation is exciting. Repin and Vengarov had the same teacher. Different result. Cool listening to both for me, but for other listeners and musicians the playing might be polarizing.
Musical, choices are the riskiest. Does one deviate from what is written? How accurate are Beethoven's tempos basd upon his quartz Seiko metronome? I will never attain some tempo markings without sacrificing clarity. Working with groups, I believe Hurwitz's observation that Jarvi allowed the orchestra musical independence, that Jarvi was not a micro-manager, was a very good one.

All of the above plus more.
On an intellectual level, conductors and musicians do nuanced things in a piece that make the piece stand out. I guess this goes to "musical choice" as well. For example, tempo. Heifetz is my gold standard. But that doesn't mean he is my favorite. Aside from the talk about how his tempo was fast on most people for purposes of fitting works onto a 33 rpm record, he played pieces like Lalo Symphony Espagnole way fast...BUT, his faster tempo version of the Beethoven brings a different flair to the piece that Vengerov's ultra slow version does not (at least for me). Heifetz was also a master of the subtle glissando. He places glissandos in places no other artist does. Again, I refer to Beethoven's vln Cto as an example.
On the emotional level, I think of it this way...a midi recording of Mahler's 1st symphony might be okay to listen to, but not like listening to Simon Rattle and the Berliner symphony orch. Even if a midi recording can mimic dynamics, it cannot necessarily mimic musical color, at least not through the midi technology I am aware of.
Lastly, excitement can be somewhat personal. I absolutely love Midori's early recordings of Sarasate's Zapateado. It excites me. There is a YouTube of her playing this piece and the audience starts clapping when she plays the left hand pizz part lol! On the other hand, I do not get very excited listening to Midori's Bartok Roumanian Folk Dances. To me, her "musical choices"/interpretation does very little for me.
Art is so very subjective. What may excite some people may not excite others. I don't necessarily think that this is a bad thing, but if art does not somewhat excite an audience in some aspect or another, does that mean it is mundane? Although I tend not to enjoy ambiguous and vague conversation, your "purposefully vague" original question is thought provoking.
Slow Beethoven: Hilary Hahn. On a Vuillaume? Remarkable playing. Control...
There is the traditional performance, sometimes stodgy. Does the audience want this? We sometimes pay high prices for this. To be sure, many traditional performances are exciting. But sometimes, that standard is no longer fun or an experience. Though Karajan had three Beethoven cycles... and each one is considered more traditional.
When purchasing an instrument, traditional or exciting? Dumb to ask, but many of us have been there. As an investment, traditional is often the consideration. Excitement can wear off, but I know quite a few people who experience joy and thrills almost every time they play their instruments. Even in practice.

As a European who's used English as my main day-to-day language for ~25 years while living in France, the UK and the US, I think of exciting as an attribute implying praiseworthiness as something distinctly American. Why would exciting be good? I don't want to be excited, highly energized, hopped-up and screaming all the time. The experience of art (producing or perceiving it) can be deeply moving, transporting, heartbreaking, thought-provoking, riveting... and at the same time very calm, even quiet (definitely not exiting!).
So no, I don't need exciting, even if I want it to be hitting more deeply than just a job well executed.
(Except of course if people use exciting as the opposite of boring. Then it's a truism that exiting is desirable - because who wants boring.)

I love being excited by music, whether playing or listening. I'd say it's one of the chief things that makes music worth listening (there are others) and life worth living, but I agree you wouldn't want to be that way all the time. "Thrilled" might be a better word. Heartbroken? I don't think so. We listen to tragic music to obtain enjoyment, not misery.

As a European who's used English as my main day-to-day language for ~25 years while living in France, the UK and the US, I think of exciting as an attribute implying praiseworthiness as something distinctly American.
Interesting... are you sure?
For example, an English movie review wouldn't refer to a good action movie as exciting?
An English sports writer wouldn't refer to a football match as exciting?
I think you're wrong. Looking at both the Cambridge and Oxford dictionaries... Exciting is, generally, in English, a positive attribute. Obviously, negative things can be excited (hatred or anger, for example), but in English, when people say something like "War is exciting," it's usually qualified somehow or that statement is reacted to negatively by an audience. We don't use "exciting" very often for negative things and when we do it's often for a literary purpose.
That being said, in general, we view our English friends as being a bit more buttoned up, a bit drier humor, perhaps more attuned to subtlety, and, a self-criticism often heard in America is that we've become desensitized to action/excitement, but I'm not sure that generalization extends into art music. I consider Europe to be much more radical than the U.S. in terms of, for example, opera.
This is a great topic. I think the answer is at the heart of conservative vs. radical taste.
Personally, I think most of the excitement in our art comes from the friction between structure and interpretation. I think only people highly trained and deeply steeped in the tradition can effectively rebel against it. If you can't give an exciting performance without adding your own excitement, you're less of a master, I think.

I didn't mean to imply that exciting can't be a positive attribute. Of course it can be! And I also didn't mean to imply that if something is exciting, it isn't more often than not a positive attribute. I see it a bit like brilliant (in the literal sense, not the sense that's a synonym for excellent) or vivid or radiant - pieces of art (or design) can be good by being vividly colored in a pleasing way.
What I was objecting to - and that's what's in the title - is the converse: the idea that a positive judgment would imply the attribute exciting. Things can be great because they're exciting. They can also be great without being exciting.
(And I guess I'm objecting to the overuse. I often overhear parents ask children, first thing after picking them up from school, if their day was exciting. And I wonder why they would place such a high value on this particular attribute, over interesting, or pleasant, or enjoyable.)

I sure can't take it very often if a piece of music or literature or visual art reduces me to a quivering puddle of sobs. But the few times it has happened it was a memorable experience, and spoke for the power of the art.
In general, yes, I too like tragic for the catharsis, not in order to end up in misery.
(Thanks for the compliment.)
That's exactly what I mean. In art, drama and music "tragedy" is an ersatz experience that attracts us and leaves us feeling emotionally enriched. In life we hope never to experience it.

I agree, in general. But, we should keep at the back of our minds the idea that music can elicit emotions not to be found anywhere else.
Indeed. I'd say maybe we should be more specific in music... a good performance excites something, right? Even if it's not heart-quickening?
We talk a great deal about the role of emotions in music but physical excitement is another thing. Surely excitement due to the build-up and release of harmonic tension resides at the core of western classical music, abundantly illustrated in symphonies, chamber music and sonatas by composers dating from Haydn to Walton and beyond. As the harmony shifts through less and more startling modulations one feels successive waves of adrenaline, culminating in the exhilarating release of endorphins on regaining the home key. It's a powerful drug and I'm totally addicted.

I'm trying to figure out what's "at the core" for some 45 years by now and that wouldn't be my conclusion. Of course, I could be wrong.

I am involved with potential programming with a few ensembles, all of no consequence, as friends will run their choices by me. They have chosen; I know the ensemble. Many decisions are, of course, Boardroom driven while on occasion player's hope from the ensemble wanting to play something. I have no influence but offer thoughts in minor things like program order and possible supplemental content, anything to possibly make the evening better. Open bar...
In the critique of the use of the word "exciting," what other can be used? I never use the word exciting to describe instruments unless forced to play something unfamiliar or new in a performance. Kudos to my Pianistic sisters and brothers.
My students hate food metaphors, especially if they are diet restricted or vegan, but when we introduce new dishes to other people what do we do? Most of my programming to the public starts with a short, yes short, talk about the Composer and the life and the impact of the particular piece being performed, to give the audience some context. If I put something in front of you to eat and do not say anything, maybe offer some program notes that you might hurriedly read in dim light, would that be appetizing? "It could be exciting!" just try a bite.
Grateful of your post. I am trying to get more, butts into chairs. I am looking for new audiences or old audiences returning. I have started proposing activity ( art ) tables outside the hall for impatient children ( onsite "day care" ) but the Halls hate the idea. Makes them look low- rent. Better to have a closed Hall, rather than open? Sure, possibly a liability. I have consulted with an Attorney and an Insurance agent.
I have yet to perform at public libraries, nothing against that... a whole new thread. Hearing people complain, complain, of what they did not like. Critiques, ok. Discussions, great. An experience, right? Most stay the full hour. "Horrible food! and such small portions..."

Bail Must Account for Suspects' Ability to Pay, Judge Rules in Dallas County
In a major victory for civil rights groups, a federal judge has banned Dallas County from using a predetermined schedule to set bail without considering other amounts or alternatives that would allow the suspects' release from jail.
Candice Norwood
By Julieta Chiquillo and Cary Aspinwall
Though U.S. District Judge David Godbey's order is temporary, his ruling Thursday indicated that the groups that sued the county earlier this year "are substantially likely to prevail on the merits" of their arguments.
Godbey wrote that the policy of setting bail without regard for a defendant's ability to pay violated the constitutional rights of arrestees to equal protection under the law.
"Wealthy arrestees -- regardless of the crime they are accused of -- who are offered secured bail can pay the requested amount and leave. Indigent arrestees in the same position cannot," the judge wrote in his opinion.
Godbey ordered Dallas County to provide suspects booked at its jail with an individual hearing within 48 hours if a magistrate judge doesn't release them after they've indicated they cannot afford bail.
"Because the court recognizes that the County might need additional time to comply with this requirement, the County may propose a reasonable timeline for doing so," he wrote.
Per the judge's order, an impartial decision-maker -- most likely a magistrate judge -- must make an individual assessment of whether an amount of bail or an alternative condition provides sufficient guarantee that the suspect will appear in court.
The suspect must have a chance at the hearing to provide evidence in his or her favor, and to dispute evidence provided by law enforcement. If the decision-maker declines to lower the bail from the prescheduled amount, then he or she must provide "factual findings" explaining the reasoning on the record.
Godbey ordered the county to allow suspects to fight the decision in a formal adversarial hearing before a misdemeanor or felony judge.
In January, four nonprofits filed a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging the Dallas County jail's cash bail system unfairly harmed poor people and violated the Texas and U.S. constitutions.
Dallas County officials had pledged to reform the system after The Dallas Morning News published an article on a woman jailed on $150,000 bond for a $105 shoplifting charge, but the nonprofits who filed the lawsuit said the system never really changed.
The suit was filed on behalf of six Dallas County inmates, jailed on bond from $500 to $50,000.
The judge's ruling agreed that cash bail continued as usual in Dallas County, noting that even though magistrates were told in February to consider a financial affidavit asking how much bail arrestees could afford, routine reliance on fixed bail schedules was still common practice.
Under Godbey's order, pretrial staff at the courthouse must verify an arrestee's ability to pay bail and must explain the process to them, and deliver a completed affidavit to the Dallas County Sheriff's Office before a defendant's probable cause hearing.
The affidavit will allow defendants to explain the maximum amount they could reasonably afford within 24 hours of the arrest, from any source, including family and friends. It will ask about income, debts and other expenses.
It won't apply to defendants who are ineligible for pretrial release due to a hold by another agency, a pending mental health evaluation or pretrial detention orders that deem them too dangerous to be released.
If a suspect has sworn on the affidavit that he or she can't afford to pay any amount of cash bail, and the magistrate doesn't release them on a personal bond that has no financial conditions, then the suspect is entitled to a hearing within 48 hours of arrest.
All non-financial conditions of release ordered by the magistrates, including protective orders, drug testing, alcohol intake ignition locks, or GPS monitoring, will remain in effect.
Elizabeth Rossi of Civil Rights Corps, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs, hailed Thursday's ruling but said his order is temporary and "does not go far enough yet."
"The federal court's decision confirms that Dallas County's money bail system is flagrantly unconstitutional," she said in a prepared statement. "Despite claiming to have implemented changes, the federal court found that the county has routinely ignored an arrestee's ability to pay money bail, still uses arbitrary bail schedules, and has made no real progress on their practices."
At a federal court hearing in August, Rossi and her colleagues introduced as evidence video clips from Dallas County hearings in early July that showed magistrates spending seconds on individual suspects as they announced the charges and bail amounts.
The attorneys argued that the bail amounts rarely deviated from the schedule.
Katharine David, an attorney for Dallas County through the law firm Husch Blackwell, said the county does not comment on pending litigation.
County officials were optimistic about the ruling. Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price, who's involved in regular county meetings regarding the jail population, said the judge's order was expected. He pointed to at least $2 million to beef up pretrial services that the Commissioners Court approved this week as part of the 2019 budget.
Among other things, the money will be used to hire more staff in the public defender's office so that suspects can have representation at bail hearings.
Those hires have not been made yet. But bail hearings, long closed to the public, can now be viewed through a monitor in the lobby of the jail.
"We feel like we're in good shape," Price said. "We're doing exactly what our plan has been all along. It's no big imposition on us in terms of us continuing to go forward."
This summer, the county also committed to funding a risk-assessment tool to help inform judges' decisions.
County Judge Clay Jenkins, who presides over the Commissioners Court, said in a statement that if the jail population drops to a certain level, the county could close a tower and save taxpayers $20 million a year.
"Hopefully, today's ruling will speed up the implementation of a race neutral risk assessment tool," he wrote. "Other jurisdictions who are using these tools have experienced a significant drop in jail population as low risk defendants are released pending trial and high risk defendants (even those with access to money) are not."

There is a truism that "Customer is always right". What your customer is experiencing and communicates—they are always right about the symptoms and experience and expectations. They are coming to you, because they have not been able to solve the issue on their own and see you as an expert. The manner in which the employee behaves as that expert is what drives CSAT scores. If the solution meets customer's expectations, the "troubleshooting" behaviors drive the FCR metrics. CSAT and FCR are correlated. Trouble-shooting skills are among the few drivers that are common to both of these outcome metrics.
According to Gartner Research, a 1% increase in first-call resolution (FCR) represents a 0.64% increase in customer satisfaction. A customer is more than satisfied if their issues are resolved remotely at the first instance. A CSR might have to troubleshoot a problem through call, chat, email or face-to-face discussion. ICMI reports "12% of customers leave if it takes 2 or more calls to resolve their issue."
Meanwhile, the time it takes to resolve is always in conflict to customer expectations. Across geographic, cultural and demographic borders, a quick and good resolution is the most common expectation of your customer. Being excellent at all the above 4 steps allows the employee to manage the customer interaction successfully.
Most of our games at PAKRA® teach learners to practice the ways to correctly troubleshoot with a customer.
PAKRA® Games simulate your work processes and provide a practice environment where your employees acquire critical-thinking and decision-making skills—before they engage with prospects and customers. We measure various metrics for every action and click that a learner makes in our Games. All our games provide a real simulation of the operational situation. Our Games can teach you and your CSRs a real learning experience in how to Troubleshoot. We score Troubleshooting in all our cross-selling customer service, tech support, help desk, customer-care, banks and insurance services, techsupport, billing desks, patient-care, sales, customer interaction and leadership games.
Gage R&R measurement system is used to score our games. Instant feedback to change behaviors, especially when the choices indicate unacceptable behavior, is provided. The games also measure the skills in doing the 4-steps we discussed earlier, including how to follow decision-trees, search and navigate FAQs and knowledge-management systems and manuals.
The following is an example you can use when you coach your CSR.
I completely empathize with you Stephanie. This can be very frustrating. Can I have your permission to put you on hold for moment – that way I can research the problem? Actually I am not sure what the problem is.
Stephanie: Yeah! You got all that information correct. I can hold.
leBron: Thank you. It should not take long.
leBron searches resources and FAQs and finds appropriate questions.
leBron: Thank you for holding.
You mentioned earlier that you have an antivirus that you have not updated that.
Can you tell me which version it is?
Do you currently have Internet connection on the laptop? If you do, it will be faster, as I can troubleshoot once you let me have remote access.
By doing that, we can look at the problems that you're having, together.
I can help you find and install antivirus updates that you need, and I can help diagnose and repair any conflicts or compatibility issues, make sure that your software is up to date, and optimize your PC speed.
Do I have your permission to access your laptop?
Stephanie: Oh! Access my computer to troubleshoot?
Go ahead. Yes! I do have an Internet connection. It is SLOOOW.
Tell me what I have to do to get you access.

Q: how have two parent div next to each other I'm working on a css/html site and I have this problem: in my style.css I got two divs, one for sidebar and one for content. I would like the sidebar to be, well, at the side, but when both are present the content always goes below the sidebar, unless I put that in position:absolute. In that case I have a problem when small screens are used, 'cause they get one over the other.
I paste the code, hope you can help!

John Anderson & Elizabeth Horney: Capt. Infantry, American Revolution
(Settlers and migrants)
* John ANDERSON was born in Baltimore, MD; died in 1816 in Spring Valley, Greene, OH; buried in an unknown location on the family farm, Spring Valley, Greene Co., OH.
He married Elizabeth HORNEY in 1774. They had the following children: John Horney ANDERSON, Lydia ANDERSON, Esther ANDERSON (b. ABT 1776), Rhoda ANDERSON (b. 1784), ♥ James ANDERSON (b. 3 Nov 1786).
MARRIAGE: Aug 1775, John Anderson married Elizabeth Horney in Caroline Co., MD. {D6}
MILITARY:
1. 7 Mar 1776, John Anderson was 1st Lieutenant in the 5th VA Regiment of Foot on the Continental Line, in Capt. Richard C. Anderson's Company, commanded by Colonel Josiah Parker.{D1}{D7}
2. Mar 1776, John received the Rate of Officers Pay for one month of service, $27.00 (£8.2.)
3. 24 Dec 1776, Richard C. Anderson's Company, with 1st Lt. John Anderson, is sent across the Delaware River ahead of Washington's Army "on a scout" with orders to find the enemy. At 6:00 PM on Christmas eve, Anderson's Company encountered a picket of 15 Hessien mercenaries on Pennington Road just north of Trenton. They fired a volley into the mercenaries, wounding six. Then, hearing the long roll beating and the town in a uproar, Capt. Anderson marched back toward Johnson Ferry…"{D4}
4. On 12 Aug 1777, John was promoted to the rank of Captain.{D1}
5. May 1778, Pay records show John at Valley Forge, PA. During this time, again as a 1st Lt., John was in Capt. Andrew Russel's Co. of the 5th Virginia Regiment of Foot, under Col. Parker and in Brigadier General Peter Muhlenberg's Brigade.{D1}{D7}
6. Jun 1778, He is given his own Company in the 5th VA Regt.{D7} The 1 Sep 1778 Muster Roll at White Plains, NY shows John in command of the 4th Company. 14 Sep 1778 he is transferred to the 3rd VA Reg. of the Continental Line.{D1}
7. 1 Oct 1778, Muster Roll shows John at West Point, NY.{D7} In Nov 1778, he is still at West Point, but by 15 Dec 1778, he has been moved back to White Plains. On 13 Jan 1779, John is listed as Capt. of the 8th Company, but is currently "sick and absent at Scotch Plain".{D7}
8. Apr 1779 He is stationed at Middlebrook.{D7}
9. May-Aug 1779, "On furlough in Virginia" {D7}
10. Oct-Nov 1779, "On furlough in Virginia. In Jan 1781 he is transferred to the 5th VA Reg. of the Continental Line.{D1}
11. On 1 Jan 1783, John was Mustered out of military service. On 2 Feb 1784, John was awarded 4666 acres land by Virginia Military Warrant #2367 for seven years military service.{D2}{D3}
EVENT: John Anderson is listed as "Only heir of Benjamin Anderson, desceased".
He is given land in the Virginia Military District by Warrant #5745 for "10 months plus 7 years" service, rank Captain.{D5}
HISTORICAL NOTE: The first white settlement in Ohio was built in 1788. During the next few years other small villages sprang up, particularly in the south in the Virginia Military District. The Virginia Military District was a large tract of Ohio Territory, that existed between the Scioto and Miami Rivers. Many of the settlers were Revolutionary War veterans who received pay from the Continental Congress in the form of Land Warrants. Many of the settlers came from Virginia and Kentucky.
TRAVEL: John, wife Elizabeth and children removed to OH in 1801.{D8}
HOME: The property John Anderson purchased was located in Military Survey #2425. {D9} The survey contained 400 acres on the waters of Caesar's Creek. The original owner was John Gibson. As per deed: on 25 Oct 1805 William Stanfield made an agreement with John Gibson to purchase the land and paid $200.00 down. Stanfield was to pay the additional sum of $500.00 before 1 Nov 1807. During that time John Gibson died in Prince William County, VA and his executors sold the land to John Anderson, because William Stanfield had assigned the agreement to John Anderson. John paid William Stanfield $500.00 for the 400 acres, but there is no way to know if Stanfield was ever reimbursed for his original $200.00 down payment. Stanfield had already bought 733 acres for $1450 in Survey #2426 from Alexander Henderson of Prince William Co., VA.
[The image above is probably close to what we might have seen circa 1810, a few years after John Anderson and Elizabeth (Horney) settled on his awarded property in the Virginia Military District of the Ohio Territory, near what is now, Spring Valley, OH
Imagine, that 200 years have elapsed from when the image above was drawn, and there is a now paved township road passing by on the right side of the picture then turning/curving to the left at the background trees and continuing off to the left; thereby putting this farmstead near the turn in the road. In James Anderson's biographical survey, there is a paroramic photograph I took across the Anderson farm property. If the above image and that photograph were oriented, we'd be standing on the road about 100 feet to the right (in this image) and looking though the immediate forground to the left. The house and out buildings would be just out of the photograph on its right. A map from the 1800s showed the farmstead near the curve of the road as discussed; the topography and wooded layout look very similar.]
WILL: Exerpts. "2nd, my will and desire is that my Wife Elizabeth Anderson keeps 100 acres of my land with all of my improvements where I now live during her natural life…my wife shall have all my moveable estate after my debts and legacies be be paid…4th, my son James Anderson shall have 100 acres where he now lives and the other 100 where I now live at my wife's decease…7th, my son James Anderson shall have my gun and my two sons shall have all my farming utensils and tools at my wife's desease divided between them…" Signed 9 Jan 1812 and probated Dec 1816, Greene Co., OH. {D8}

1. James Horney, son of Geoffrey Horney and Elizabeth Harwood, did not list any children in his Will, but left his property to his brother, Jeffrey Horney Jr.'s children. The list included Elizabeth Anderson, wife of John Anderson. The James Horney estate in Caroline County, which abutted the State of Delaware, left a 61 acre farm called "Lloyd's Regulation" and dwelling house to be divided equally, as stated: "To Daniel, Elizabeth, James and Deborah Horney, heirs of Jeffrey Jr. now deceased the sum of five pounds. The rest of my moveable estate to be divided equally between Phillip, Elizabeth Anderson, Deborah Stanly, Lydia Salisbury and Ann Dial, all sons and daughters of Jeffrey Horney this 4th day August 1794." Probated 4 Dec 1794.{D1}
2. Elizabeth Horney Anderson had a brother, William Horney, who was essentially cut out of his father, Jeffrey Horney's, Will for participating in the Revolutionary War. Two generations later, Elizabeth's grandson, Harmon Anderson and William's granddaughter, Margaret Horney, were married. Their legacy continues in our family.{D1}

Q: Serverless.Framework Deployment Error - Function not found In my sls infrastructure I have an authorizer function that I created and connected to most of my other functions.
when I deployed it sequentially (first the auth function, then the connection to the other functions) all worked as expected. However, when I want to deploy everything to a new environment, I get the error that my auth function is not found, and I think its because it is not yet created when Cloudformation is trying to reference it.
My question is this:
Can I specify dependency between resources? so that I will deploy a resource only after its dependency is deployed.
If not, how can I overcome this issue?

A: You should be able to define the function and a custom authorizer function for it in the same Serverless Framework service (as is evident also from the documentation).
If you run into problems with a fresh deploy that could indicate a bug in Serverless Framework - timing problems between functions in CloudFormation stacks have been common in it. You can always try upgrading your sls.
In bigger projects it's common to isolate authorizer functions to their own stack (referenced from several other stacks) which sidesteps this internal dependency issue - in that case you naturally deploy the authorizer stack first.


Ok, update on the wardrobe stuff! Unfortunately I haven't been able to make any real progress sewing lately, but since I have off from classes for spring break this week I'm planning to do a lot. I plan to do a bunch of cutting today and tomorrow, then sew sew sew.
I've also made a couple of changes to "the plan" -- I'm adding a shirt dress in khaki cotton poplin, and substituting my old jeans pattern with the new Sandra Betzina pattern: Vogue 1034 - the full length bootcut version. I'm still looking for fabric for a couple of the pieces, but I have enough to keep me busy for now.
I've also been thinking about summer -- several of my pieces will work for summer, but I want to add some shorts, skirt(s), and short sleeve shirts. I'm currently liking this "shortie" suit pattern: Simplicity 3846.
I think your ideas are wonderful. I (purchased) cheap pants at Ross, (because I got fatter) and one of the 2 that I brought home I love. I am going to copy them in something other than black. I have a closet full of different sizes of black. But this one pair is really awesome. I just hope they fit the same way after the wash. I took out the hem before the wash so maybe I can add a facing after they shrink.
I don't have many of the fabrics picked out, but I'll be working on that. I basically need an entirely new wardrobe for summer, so the plan is a bit ambitious. But, I think the patterns I've picked out are on the "easy" side, and I think I'll be splitting up the wardrobe into 2-3 "mini wardrobes" so I don't become overwhelmed. What do you think? Anyone else up for wardrobe sewing for summer?
Edited to add: Here is the tentative storyboard for the contest. The jacket may wait until after the contest is over, since 4 garments in a month is a pretty tight timeline!
WOW! I really like the storyboard. That is a great challenge. I hope you win!
I think I am going to start altering my RTW stuff right now. I've lost 46 pounds now and I really hope to loose 50 more. Once I am done loosing weight I hope to get back to wardrobe sewing. I love it--I just have not been able to keep up with things that fit because of the weight loss. I will however join in with other things. Right now, I plan on making two cat beds. Once I find the pattern again I'll post it.
This is the pattern I am working on right now. I am working on "c", it's the one on the top righthand side. The fish.
Kaitlin, I am amazed at how far you've come. So ambitious! You're as accomplished as many of us who have been sewing for 30 years or more. Great plan. Please keep us posted.
Jen, please post about your project. Love to see a picture.
Jen , that pattern is priceless.. ! ! Sooooo Cute..
After making my first top (Simplicity 2936), I've changed my mini-wardrobe plan a little - I've decided to make a second version of that, with different sleeves, but I'll be leaving off the collar that is shown in the picture. I probably won't be getting to the jacket in May, but who knows. Maybe I'll at least get a start on it.
Only 2 weeks left in the contest. Wish me luck!
The completed mini-wardrobe is here: Finished!
Very nicely done, as usual! Love the background, looks like you had a nice day for pictures.
