text:
Un uniligne ( pour les anglophones) est généralement un programme informatique jetable, mais peu banal, écrit pour une tâche ponctuelle en un langage de script tel que Perl ou Ruby, et tenant sur une seule ligne. Des langages qui imposent plusieurs phases avant l'exécution, la déclaration explicite de variables, de fonctions ou, pire, de classes, ne se prêtent pas aux unilignes. Les unilignes bénéficient des qualités DWIM () et DRY () propres à certains langages.

Parce qu'un uniligne est rarement destiné à être réutilisé, les considérations de lisibilité par un tiers sont secondaires. Certains unilignes sont des assombrissements délibérés. En revanche, ils peuvent être pédagogiques en démontrant de manière concise certains idiotismes du langage. Il faut néanmoins savoir que certains idiotismes deviennent
inapplicables ou dangereux dans le cadre de programmes avec beaucoup de lignes de code.

Historique

Le mot est apparu pour la première fois dans le livre de Alfred V. Aho, Peter J. Weinberger et Brian W. Kernighan, . Ce livre a pour sujet le langage Awk, utilisé dans le système d'exploitation Unix. Les auteurs expliquent comment leur travail quotidien sur Unix fut à l'origine de ce paradigme : « La version de 1977 d'[Unix] possédait très peu de variables internes et de fonctions prédéfinies. Elle est conçue pour écrire des programmes courts […] Notre modèle était qu'un appel de fonction serait long d'une ou deux lignes, exécutées sitôt tapées. […] Nous, en tant qu'auteurs, « savions » comment le langage était censé être utilisé, et c'est pour cela que nous n'écrivions que des unilignes. »

Exemples

En AWK
Le livre The AWK Programming Language contient plus de vingt exemples à la fin du premier chapitre.

Voici les premiers :
1. Afficher le nombre total de lignes lues en entrée :
 END { print NR }
2. Afficher la dixième ligne d'un fichier :
 NR == 10
3. Afficher le dernier champ de chaque ligne :
 { print $NF }

En Perl
Inverser tous les octets d'un fichier :
perl -0777e 'print scalar reverse <>' nomFichier

Les unilignes sont également utilisés pour démontrer l'expressivité de certains langages de programmation. Ils servent souvent à démontrer le talent du programmeur, et de nombreux concours sont organisés pour savoir qui fera le plus exceptionnel.

En C
Voici un exemple en C, lauréat du concours IOCCC.
main(int c,char**v){return!m(v[1],v[2]);}m(char*s,char*t){return*t-42?*s?63==*t|*s==*t&&m(s+1,t+1):!*t:m(s,t+1)||*s&&m(s+1,t);}

Ce programme permet de vérifier si une chaîne de caractères correspond à un motif, avec les conventions Unix : * pour une suite de caractères quelconques de longueur quelconque, ? pour un seul caractère… Le code de retour est 0 pour vrai et 1 sinon. À noter que la correspondance motif se fait sur toute la chaîne, et non sur un sous-ensemble de celle-ci.
Exemples d'exécution :

 $ prog foo 'f??'; echo $?                          → renvoie 0 (correspondance)
 $ prog 'chaine quelconque' '??ai*e**n?*'; echo $?  → renvoie 0 (correspondance)
 $ prog 'chaine quelconque' 'ch*o?'; echo $?        → renvoie 1 (non-correspondance)

En Haskell
Il y a deux déclarations import ce qui porte en réalité le nombre de lignes du programme à trois. Cet uniligne trie les lignes qu'il prend en entrée selon l'ordre lexicographique du code ASCII.

 import IO
 import List
 main = (mapM_ putStrLn . sort . lines) =<< getContents

En Java
Hello world en Java :
public class OneLine { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); } }

En Tcl-Tk
Calcul de la factorielle :

proc ! x {expr {$x<2? 1: $x*[! [incr x -1]]}}

Here is a sample structure of a practice schedule for a youth team. Of course, this is just a sample and things would be different every day, but this is a basic structure of how a practice may look.
This is probably the #1 thing missing from most youth practices. It helps prevent injury, improves performance, and improve athletic ability. What good is a basketball player who is injured or is not athletic enough to utilize the basketball skills developed? The better the player moves, the better the player performs. Why not spend time on it?
There are a lot of players who have tremendous SKILLS, but lacked the ATHLETIC ability to make it to the next level.
Because it is the game of basketball, I do try to include a basketball in the warm up as much as possible. I am going to present two different dynamic warm ups. If you are fortunate enough to have enough basketballs for everybody, we have a basketball-related warm up. For those of you who do not have very many basketballs, we include a warm up that does not require a basketball.
The #1 reason kids quit sports is because it's not fun anymore. Youth coaches primary focus should be to teach skills and make it an enjoyable experience! This isn't high school, college, or even PRO basketball, so don't treat your practices like it.
Try the skill-fun drill technique. This means that you teach a skill, then follow up that skill with a fun game or drill to work on the skill. It helps break up the monotony of practice.
Crab Walk - Figure 8 while walking. Walk down the court forwards. Come back walking backwards.
Partner Passing - Shuffle and Pass - Chest, Bounce, & Overhead.
Use the end of game drill to end practice in a fun fashion. It also gets players accustomed to end of game situations.
Some teams do this after practice.
These practice sample and all the drill I have learned are the best. Beats any other website and it was one of the best decisions to become a member .
Thanks a lot. A blessing indeed.
what is carioca, can you explain it to me please. love the site.
The player runs laterally. If going to the left, the player crosses the right foot over the left in front of the body, then behind the body. The torso should remain facing straight ahead.
No scrimmage? Our girls love to have a 4 or 5-player scrimmage and we always give them 15 to 25 minutes with minimal stoppage or structure. How do other youth coaches see this?
No way. Scrimmages teach very little. It is your players running your plays against your defense. Control half court sets are much better than scrimmages. You can stop at a mistake and discuss it or a missed opportunity and recreate it. Scrimmages with little control do not teach skill, reinforce bad habits, and are the same as playing a games. Games are for game days. Practice is to learn.
I disagree, games are the biggest learning parts of a young persons game. If you are able to set of different defensive sets, the benefit is still there. You learn a lot about your players when they are in games or game like scrimmages.
This is just a sample practice. Not something I use everyday. Sometimes, I'll run a scrimmage with minimal stoppage.
However, if you look closer at the sample schedule, the last 35 minutes of the practice is basically a semi-controlled scrimmage to help teach the players. However, you don't want to stop practice for every little mistake to correct. Only the reoccurring mistakes.
I have a question for you (5 & 6th grade girls )coaches. On a traveling team at this age level how competitive do you really need to be.
Focus should be on fun, fundamentals, and life lessons. At this age, sometimes, I wish they would turn off the scoreboard. Not for the players, for the coaches.
It will be posted in our newsletter on March 10th.
I'm coaching a 12 and under boys team and our practices are limited to 1 hour. I really love the drills and ideas but, how can I fit all of these into our practices?
i need 2 things the first how to defence the tall and big man like shakil onnel if i was short for shakel . another quesion i need teaching film about defence and offence to see it and thanks to all.
I live just outside of Toronto and I can't believe some of the stuff I see from coaches at tournaments for young kids. My son is 9 and a few weeks ago his coach actualy yelled at him for taking a jump shot from 10ft. It made him cry and when I heard about it from my wife I was furious.
There is far too much emphasis on winning and not enough on skill development. You see the same players bringing up the ball time after time even though there is a half court rule on defense.
Imagine at the age of 9 you are already telling 8 or 9 kids that we don't think you are good enough to handle the ball. That is pretty much the message when a kid is told to play the wing shift after shift and barely touches the ball during a game.
Our system dictates that coaches go through a certification process before they can coach at the rep level but the problem is the coaches don't have accountability for their behaviour. It's no wonder kids quit and move on to other activities.
1 hour is tough to get everything in and with kids this age its even tougher because fundamentals are so important now.
Make a weekly plan of what you need to work on and then separate them to daily tasks.
That coach should be laying brick somewhere and NOT working with young kids. Its his job to teach them HOW to play, teach fundamentals and especially at this age... for them to have FUN. Good luck, I hope you can find a better situation for your son.
My name is Sabrina and this will be my second year coaching. I was an assistant coach for a high school boys team and a head coach for a boys middle school team. I am about to coach a rec team for 17 and under boys and I have a couple of questions. 1) When you warm up boys that age, is it necessary to go through ball handling drills like the ones listed above and if not what will be good exercises for them. 2) Because it is rec ball and there is no pre-season preparation is it important to include agility exercises within the practice and 3) what would be some good advice about coaching young men at that age level?
The reason for these questions are because I do not want my practices to seem elementary to my guys but at the same time I do not want to miss an opportunity to help develop certain players in all areas assuming that at this point its certain things they should already know.
3) We have plenty of coaching advice on this website. Go through the left-hand menu and you will find plenty of helpful information.
I am coaching 8th grade girls basketball. Recently we had two scrimmages; we blew out the first, but lost to the second team. My girls revealed more confidence in effort in the first scrimmage, but looked defeated in the second one. After reviewing your plays and advice, I found some helpful tips for success in this coaching season, but I still feel as though im missing something. I feel like I dont have enough time to teach all that my girls need to know. What can I try to improve upon?
Sherrie - You will never feel like you have enough time to teach your players what they need to know. Coaches at all levels (youth to NBA) have that issue. It's just part of the job. That's why you need to constantly prioritize and focus on the critical things. I heard this quote from a Dell CEO once and it always resonated with me... "Focus on the critical few versus the trivial many". This was one of his keys to success.
Remember, these are just 8th graders and the most important things are to teach fundamentals, prepare them for high school basketball, prepare them for life (teach life lessons), set a good example, and have fun. Wins and losses don't indicate the success of your season. You won't be able to measure how successful your season was until years later and you see what type of impact you had on your players. So don't get too caught up in wins and losses. Good luck!
I am glad I found this site and appreciate your views to what should be taught at this age. I coach a 7th and 8th grade girls middle school team and find that the girls always respond better when I tell them to ignore the scoreboard and focus on the little successes during the game. Wins are good, but at this level it is seeing the smiles on their faces when they achieve the small goals we set for game regardless of the score.
Thanks again for this site and keep up the good work.
The problem with youth basketball is three things: 1.) The parent or guardian who has no idea what he's doing coaching his son and thinks his son should get all of the shots. 2.) The parent who has no idea what basketball is and thinks little johnny has to take every shot. 3.) No certified coaches who teach the fundamentals.
I am a 22 year old who wants to be a collegian coach after getting my degree. I have been coaching youth basketball for 6 years now and it always seems like one parent has to question what I do or complain about something. I have compiled a record of about 75-30 winning back to back county championships and an intermural championship as well......... thats not the point......... I have had about 10 of my players go on and start at the high school level, both Varsity and JV including 1 going on to play Division 1 next year. I teach nothing but the fundamentals and we spend ZERO time scrimmaging. We get about an hour and half a week so there is no time to scrimmage. I make it very fun for the kids running similar drills to the above article. The site is very helpful and please keep up the good work. Parents PLEASE let us do our job and keep all of your unhelpful comments to yourself!!!!!!
I was wondering where I could get more information on how to do these warm ups you are talking about, such as bear crawl and defensive shuffle.
What if you only have an hour an 15 minutes twice a week?
I am coaching a group of 11-12 year olds, but as I train them straight after school, we only get 45 minutes at best to practice. What are the most important drills to work. Also, I have three guys who are keen to learn post moves, yet as I play guard myself, I am ignorant to any particular moves other than the up-and-under. Can anyone help me with this?
Thankyou for this, it will really help out our team who just want to get better, even with an 18-0 record.
Check out the link in the previous comment for some ideas on short practice times. I would spend most of my time on fundamentals in the context of my offense and defense. You can also work on offense and defense at the same time. For example, have one coach watch offense and the other watching defense. You could practice basket cuts and half court motion, while the defense if focusing on positioning, etc.
For fundamentals I would spend most time on ballhandling, footwork, and shooting. I would try to mult-task. For example, work on down screens (getting open and a piece of your offense), footwork, and shooting at the same time.
This footwork in that ebook translates to perimeter moves. So everyone learns the exact footwork and you save a lot of time.
I would also incorporate man to man defensive fundamentals as well. Again multi task. Man to man is a fundamental that will really help the players and improve their athleticism.
For those of you that have a very short time to practice... I feel for you.... like Jeff & Joe say, there is NEVE enough time to practice..... bottom line... make it FUN.
" TAKE CARE OF THE LITTLE THINGS AND THE BIG THINGS WILL TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. "
That goes for coaches too.... take care of the most important things... teach a lot of fundamentals and then, let them play.
I have coached for 3 years before this one. All have been K-2 teams. Now I'm coaching 3rd-6th girls (the league was supposed to be 3-4 and 5-6, but not enough girls signed up). I'm curious if any of you have coached this big of an age gap before. If so, what were your approaches? Thanks!
I coached in a division for 4-6 grade last season and we also had 5 3rd graders play up with us for the experience of actual basketball as they were very ready. (the even ended up being better than some of the 4-5 grade girls).
In rec ball, the talent disparity is usually glaring and when you start to combine ages with this big of a gap the talent differences become even more apparent. Just work on fundamentals. Dribbling, various dribble moves, attacking the basket and one on one defense. If you stick with it, you'll see the girls getting better as the season goes on and hopefully all of your players will be contributing by season's end.
Because of the younger ages being involved, it might be a struggle to install any true offense, but you can definitely stress spacing and movement when your team has the ball. Other than that, I told our girls that their first option on offense was to try to score by themselves and if they couldn't do that, then they had teammates to look to for help. Because we spent a ton of time on individual offensive skill development, the girls actually began to trust one another as a team because they wouldn't worry about giving the ball to a teammate.
I liked to scrimmage 4 on 4. The first team to score 5 baskets wins. But each player on a team has to score 1 basket before anybody can score a second basket. It makes them work to get teammates open and stresses sharing the ball.
I'm a first year middle school coach and this site is very, very helpful. Thanks!
Great site! I was wondering if you have experience coaching young athletes with intellectual disabilities (e.g., Down Syndrome). Our (HS) team is looking to fully include a student with Down Syndrome. Although he will not be able to play in all game situations, we want him to feel like a full member of our practices. For example, what do you do if a drill is too complex, or the athlete lacks the stamina of the others? Do you or anyone else have some ideas for productive sideline work, or for helping out the coach? Any ideas appreciated. Thanks for a terrific coaching site!
Johnny - Sorry but I don't have any experience with that type of situation.
The only advice that comes to mind is that you praise and reward effort not skill. That is something we do anyway and is recommended for practices/games.
For example, you often hear coaches or players saying "nice move!!" when a talented player makes a great move. Well I try to avoid praising things like that when it's just because someone has talent. I might praise a player for trying a "new" move. But generally I look to praise a player that is working hard, showing enthusiasm, and great resilience -- whether it's a "nice move" or not.
my grandson is 13 with exceptional skills.(he thinks) but i am looking for a program such as this so he can truly get the b-b skills to compete.
I wish I could help, but I'm not aware of clubs in the Tampa area.
I would just ask around. Ask what they teach and make sure it aligns with your philosophy.
I would even attend a practice and a game of the club prior to joining. This will give you a good picture of how they actually do things.
How do you teach this age group about spacing and its importance?
Nicki - Good question. I've give you a few ideas that I use with young and old teams.
Some coaches use "spots" to teach spacing. I use spots in some drills to teach basic concepts and making drills run smoother. But I don't rely on them.
1) Skill drills that are pieces of my offense. We have dozens of drills that are simply pieces of our offense and also allow us to work on passing, dribbling, shooting, and finishing. We have cutting drills, screening drills, dribble and space drills.
We also like to use string spacing drills. A player dribbles towards another player and they fix spacing appropriately and then take a shot or lay up. As an example, dribble at the the wing, the wing back cuts, and receives the ball for a lay up. You can dribble toward low post players, high post, and so on.
3) All scrimmages and half court offenses (constant emphasis).
Thank you for taking the time to give me all of the suggestions. I am going to check each one of them.
Hi great drill i am coaching middle school basketball never coached before i need a practice plan.Thinking of using the warmup number 2 what drills should use never met my team kind of nervous.
I am a 82 year old grandfather with 7 grandchildren ages from 6 to 19 and all play basketball. Two of the older ones do refereeing as well as playing.
Hello, I am a new coach wanting to get in the business of coaching youth basketball. I am interested in finding a video that shows what a practice would look like. I have tried to run a few practices but I am unsure I had a good structure for the youth. Are there any videos that could assist me with coaching? Thank You!
These videos are good. You don't necessarily see an actual practice but you do see how the coach teaches during the drills and actual young kids getting coached during the videos.
Just a little program we implemented that put our 7 & 8 year old boys team on a fast track. It is a reward system for doing (2) twn minute stationary drill sesaiona at home with parent non engaged activity. They do it while waiting on mom to fix a sandwich or something. Taking 10 mins away from their electronics to develop a skill set has worked wonders and the results are amazing. We give away goodies at practice. Example: Mom / Dad, an you fix me some cookies and milk. Sure !!, while Im doing that you do your dribble drill. I empowered the parents to allow the kids to use any hard surface for 10 mins.They make the sacrifices and enjoy seeing their kiddos bringing the ball up and hitting layups rather than sitting on the bench waiting to one day learn how to dribble. Noone taught them how to operate a cell phone or tablet. They spend time on them and master them. The same with learning the fundamentals of basketball..... I can attach a simple 10 min low key dribble drill for little ones. One week and they will be doing it on their own. My 8 year old dribble on a middle or high school level with just committing to 10 mins twice a day.

Q: Calculator for Arithmetic in Alternate Bases In the course I'm currently teaching, we're testing our understanding of elementary school arithmetic algorithms by working in base 5. Each day, I write up several example problems for them to try along with the answer (so that they'll know if they've gone awry). Invariably, if I churn out a list of twenty practice problems by hand, one or two of my answers are wrong. This is frustrating to both me and the student, since they always double and triple check their work before daring to ask if I've made a mistake. In order to check my work before this happens, I wonder:

Is there a simple program (either online or in Maple/Matlab) for
  performing arithmetic in alternate bases?

A: I've not tried it, but this freeware Windows program would at least be a workable stopgap measure if it works as described, as would this one. This site has a rather clunky on-line converter. I've not run across any actual base-$n$ calculators.

A: I tried 13 base 5+22 base 5 in Wolfram Alpha.  One of the answers I got was $40_5$.

A: You may use GAP for this. After installing GAP, download two files, sysnum.gd and sysnum.gi. Then you can work as follows:
gap> Read("/path/to/file/sysnum.gd");
gap> Read("/path/to/file/sysnum.gi");
gap> R := SystematicNumbersRing( 2 );
Integers base 2
gap> a := SystematicNumber( R, 2 );
10
gap> b := SystematicNumber( R, 3 );
11
gap> a+b; a*b; a^b; a=b; a<b;
101
110
1000
false
true

If the base is larger than 10, brackets will be used for "long digits":
gap> H := SystematicNumbersRing( 16 );
Integers base 16
gap> h1 := SystematicNumber( H, 10 );
(10)
gap> h2 := SystematicNumber( H, 13 );
(13)
gap> h1+h2;
17
gap> SystematicNumber( H, 23 );
17
gap> h3 := SystematicNumber( H, 16 );
10
gap> h3^2;
100
gap> h3+h3;
20

A divided D.C. Circuit holds Congress may insulate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from Presidential Control. Will the Supreme Court agree?
This afternoon, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit rejected a constitutional challenge to the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Sitting en banc, the court concluded that limiting the President's ability to remove the CFPB's Director, even when combined with the agency's rather unique structure, did not create any constitutional problems. Several judges dissented and, as one might expect, the case would seem to be a good candidate for Supreme Court review.
In October 2016, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit had concluded that the agency's unique structure was unconstitutional. The CFPB understandably disagreed, and sought en banc review of this decision. The D.C. Circuit granted the CFPB's petition in February, but then something interesting happened: The new adminstration decided it disagreed with the old. Whereas the Obama Administration had supported the CFPB's unique structure, the Trump Administration did not, and it let the D.C. Circuit know. Like the petitioners, the Trump Administration argued that it was unconstitutional to place such substantial power in an agency headed by a single individual (as opposed to a multimember commission) who is only subject to removal "for cause."
The D.C. Circuit was apparently not persuaded by the Trump Administration's opinion, as the court voted to overturn the original panel decision, 7-3. Judge Nina Pillard wrote the opinion for the court, which five other judges joined. Judges David Tatel and Robert Wilkins each wrote concurrences. Judge Thomas Griffith concurred in the judgment, albeit on grounds that would make it relatively easy for a President to remove a CFPB director who did not toe the line. Judges Karen Henderson and Brett Kavanaugh and Senior Judge A. Raymond Randolph, each wrote a dissent.
Altogether, the opinions in PHH Corporation v. CFPB span a full 250 pages. That's quite a bit to wade through, and I'm not going to try and summarize all of the points made in the various opinions. Fortunately, over at the Notice & Comment blog, Aaron Neilson has posted excerpts from each of the opinions, highlighting the various arguments made.
The primary arguments in the Pillard majority, and the dissents, are largely what you would expect if you've followed the longstanding constitutional debate over the extent to which Congress may constrain the President's removal power. The opinions spar over the meaning of prior precedents, including Morrison v. Olson and Humphrey's Executor. They also cross swords on the extent to which the CFPB's unique structure is legally relevant. It may be true that, up until now, the only agency heads protected by a "for cause" removal limitation are those who are part of multi-member commissions. The quesiton is whether that matters for constitutional purposes.
Judges Kavanaugh and Henderson both argue that constraining the ability of the President to remove the head of an agency like the CFPB unduly constrains executive power. Judge Kavanaugh makes this argument within the constraints of existing precedent, whereas Judge Henderson does not, arguing instead that first principles must control. These dissenters also disagreed on remedy. Following the Supreme Court's lead in Free Enterprise Fund v. PCAOB, Judge Kavanaugh argues the constitutional infirmity is cured by simply eliminating the "for cause" constraint on removal of the CFPB's head. This is not enough for Judge Henderson, however, who argues the CFPB should be invalidated in its entirety.
This argument is particularly interesting because it would give the Supreme Court a way to reinforce Presidential control over federal agencies without having to strike down portions of the Dodd-Frank law that created the Bureau. According to Griffith, there is nothing in the text of the statute, or relevant precedents such as Humphrey's Executor, that would prevent a President from removing a CFPB head who sought to implement a policy agenda at odds with the President. Among other things, Griffith writes, "an officer is inefficient when he fails to produce or accomplish the agency's ends, as understood or dictated by the President operating within the parameters set by Congress." So understood, the "for cause" removal provision would not impose a significant constraint on the ability of a President to remove and replace the CFPB Director. Although his reasoning is different, Judge Griffith notes that, as a practical matter, his decision would produce a similar ultimate outcome as that urged by Judge Kavanaugh.
Given the magnitude of the question at issue, one would think PHH Corporation v. CFPB is a good candidate for Supreme Court review, particularly since the Solicitor General could be expected to support any petition for certiorari. There is a catch, however. While the D.C. Circuit rejected PHH's constitutional challenges to the CFPB, it upheld PHH's statutory challenge to the CFPB enforcement actions that prompted the suit. As a consequence, PHH might be seen as a prevailing party, and (as a general rule) the Supreme Court does not grant petitions for certiorari from parties that prevailed below.
Whether or not PHH, the SG's office, or another party is able to convince the Supreme Court to review this case, the underlying question will land at One First Street relatively soon. PHH was not the only entity subject to CFPB regulation to challenge the Bureau's structure, and there are other cases working their way throught the court system that could become alternative vehicles for certiorari.
In my view, Supreme Court review of the underlying question will come relativey soon, and the D.C. Circuit's decision is unlikely to prevail. Recent Supreme Court decisions, such as that in Free Enterprise Fund, suggest a majoirty of justices on the Court would like to contain precedents such as Humphrey's Exectuor and are unlikely to bless the CFPB's unique structure. If I am right, this means a mjaority of the Court is likely to embrace the position adopted by Judge Kavanaugh or Judge Griffith, not that laid out by Judge Pillard. Time will tell—and we will need time to thoroughly review the D.C. Circuit's latest handiwork.

Setting aside whether the Court would hear a petition from PHH, why would there be a petition from PHH? What incentive does it have, given that it won on the merits, to appeal the administrative law issue?
Indeed. Their statement doesn't mention the issue at all. They simply say they're happy that they won.
It's a fair question. Note that the case is remanded to the agency and they may feel that, so long as they remain under the CFPB's thumb, they face some degree of legal threat. (Of course, having Mulvaney as CFPB head may lessen that concern.) So I think it may come down to whether they think the CFPB remains a threat to their business operations — and whether a resolution that merely makes it easier for the President to remove the Director would address some of their concerns.
The same reason cases can continue on constitutional grounds for criminal appeals of violations of the 4th even if dismissed on other grounds. You don' want to let the violation of civil rights continue on and on when there is a case that bears out the argument.
So from inference…. PHH has no interest in upholding civil rights, just their bottom line. Is that what you are claiming? Seems about your level of intellectual discourse.
Um, Corporations are supposed to be responsible to their shareholders, to be prudent stewards of corporate assets. Spending corporate funds on legal fees to continue litigating a case which you have already won hardly strikes me as a prudent use of corporate funds.
Depends on your time horizon, I suppose. And whether you can convince anyone else to pony up, too.
Brett and Jesse's inability to both understand, and want to understand, this issue is both the saddest and most predictable thing imaginable.
No, I think you're failing to get my point.
Sure, you won the case, there's a strong argument to just take your win, and let the future deal with itself. And, normally, that argument would properly prevail.
But, if a public interest group came to you, and offered to foot the bill, so that it won't cost you anything to potentially remove the threat the agency might pose in the future, it *could* change the calculation.
So, it's a matter of time horizon and whether somebody else is willing to pony up some money.
Sure, if you are a person, it might.
But not if you're a corporation. This isn't Hobby Lobby (private corporation). This is a publicly traded corporation. Why are you letting a public interest group use your name to advance their cause?
I get your point, it's just wrong. Public corporations advance all sorts of arguments, including constitutional ones. But they have a rational reason for doing so- to win the case. Now, don't get me wrong, maybe something odd will happen here. Stranger things and all that. But it would be very odd, indeed, for a corporation to continue on in litigation that it has won. Irrational from its perspective.
a. That it will have another encounter with the Board.
b. That the encounter will go badly.
c. That it will no longer have this exact argument that it can use.
And, moreover, this is all assuming that (a-c) happens before this becomes … someone else's problem.
Are you catching up yet? Have you ever represented corporate interests? How would you as legal counsel advise the corporation, well, other than PAY MEH FEEZ!
b. There's something regarding remand to the Bureau that could get hinky/result in less than a complete win.
In addition to the issues already raised by DJDiverDan and loki, there is also a risk of losing. If PHH files cert, there is no guarantee that SCOTUS won't rule that the DC Circuit was correct about the challenges to the CFPB but wrong as to the statutory challenges. Then PHH loses across the board. There's a real risk of snatching defeat from the jaw of victory.
One point that Judge Pillard made that seems to be an extremely weak justification is the comparison of the FCC and CFPB. she completely glosses over the fact that the FCC has a board,whereas the CFPB has a director with unilateral power. Considering that's one of the central issues with the structure of this agency, I would have thought that would be more important here.
I'm just not seeing the focus on presidential removal (except, Trump) when there's a pivotal question on if congress can instill so much power in one person with presidential or even substantial congressional oversight.
Help a constitutional illiterate out, because I'm not seeing it.
I would think that an agency with a board is more difficult to oversee than an agency run by a single chair. In the latter case, the president only has to remove one person to get his way. In the former case, he might have to remove four.
If PHH won on the statutory challenge, why did the court even need to address the constitutional question?
Because the consequence of prevailing on the statutory question is a remand to the agency.
Pity about the procedural posture.
"The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America".
"Independent" agencies are a Court sanctioned de facto Article VIII of the Constitution.
Just like the first amendment protects "the freedom of speech" without saying what is in and out of scope of that freedom, art. II vests the executive power in the President without defining its limitations. The US has as much of a common law constitution as the UK does, you'd better get used to it.
I can accept that the error is "law" but I don't have to "get used to it".
You cannot justify so-called independent agencies outside of Presidential control with the Constitution.
It's not outside presidential control. It says right there in the article.
Not quite. Some in the Circuit Court concluded that the current structure is 'not outside presidential control'. Others disagreed. Prof Alder doesn't seem to offer a clear opinion on the question though his closing paragraph hints that he may side more with the dissent.
I would go further and argue that merely having the ability to fire the head of an independent agency (at whatever threshold) is insufficient to cure the inconsistency between the constitutional requirement for vesting of executive power and the statutory assignment of "independence". But given the past decades of precedence, I think it's unlikely that SCOTUS would take up that argument no matter how good it is.
Can the President tell them "do not issue that regulation" or "withdraw that regulation"? Can the President tell them what their enforcement priorities are?
That is what control means.
This bureau is particularly obnoxious because it is independent of Congress's power of the purse and is inside a private corporation exercising government powers. Its a trifecta of un-constitutional.
That's the part that bothers me the most – CFPB's independence from Congress.
The courts really need to come back to the no moneys shall be expended part, and soon. This should apply to the federal reserve as well. If you have any kind of enforcement or regulatory powers, Congress should be approving your annual budget. Period.
The lack of presidential control is hardly the only, or even the most glaring, constitutional problem with administrative agencies. There is the whole issue that most agencies combine legislative, executive AND judicial functions. The whole purpose of the founders in establishing three separate branches of the government, none of which is dependent upon the others, was to create separation of powers. The purpose of creating a judiciary which is independent of the executive and legislative branches was to create a structural protection against tyrannical government. The entire concept of administrative agencies, combining legislative, executive and judicial functions in one location, throws the entire concept of separation of powers out the window, and opens the door to all sorts of oppressive shenanigans. The Supreme Court, in Humphrey's Executor, justified not permitting the President to remove an FTC Commissioner except for cause, focused on the fact that the FTC, in addition to being an executive agency with enforcement powers, also exercised what the Court called "quasi-legislative" and "quasi-judicial" functions – in other words, the FTC wrote the rules, enforced the rules, and passed judgment on the alleged violators. Yet the Court doesn't waste a single paragraph, even a sentence, on how this is fundamentally inconsistent with the separation of powers which is supposed to be a bulwark against tyrannical government. Shameful.
Now THIS is windmill tilting.
Technically, it's dragon tilting, which is more dangerous than windmill tilting, because they bite if you get near them.
He's right. The Court is much too casual about violations of separation of powers in agencies.
Hoping for a Country that actually complies with its written Constitution – "The Impossible Dream." Guilty as charged.
Live the dream of demanding your idiosyncratic Constitutional understanding be followed. But in our Republican system all this really accomplishes is letting you be angry on the Internet.
E Pluribus Unum != E Pluribus DjDiverDanum.
Diver, given that Congress is empowered to establish courts (which it is), why isn't the establishment of narrowly-defined judicial power in a congress-created agency an example of separation of powers working as planned, instead of an example of its overthrow?
Congress is meant to be a check on the executive. Putting within bounds the President's power to meddle with the CFPB seems to be an example of Congress checking the President.
Why isn't the Supreme Court's handling of the issue an example of the Court respecting separation of powers? Why is your own tendency to consolidate power in the hands of the President a defense of separation of powers, instead of an attack on that notion? To me, you seem to be attacking separation of powers, for no better reason than an ideologically-founded dislike of the CFPB.
Because the bureau isn't a court. (You can tell by the name.) It also wields executive power. If it only wielded judicial power, not only would the president not need to have supervisory authority over it, but it would be inappropriate for the president to do so.
No, Congress is meant to exercise the legislative powers granted by the Constitution. All three branches, exercising only those powers granted by the Constitution, are intended to check and balance each other. The President is intended to check and balance Congress, just like Congress is intended to check and balance the President. Independent agencies don't serve either function because they are independent.
I think you need to take another look at Article III.
That is a truly bizarre criticism of critics of the administrative state. Mostly because it's pretty much backwards. The Administrative State is an example of Congress ceding its responsibilities to the executive.
You are quite right, Congress is empowered to create courts. It says so right in Article III. BUT, if those courts are to wield "the judicial power" of the United States, then such courts must be presided over by independent judges with all of the protections provided by Article III. Now the Court HAS approved of situations where Congress has established courts without such protections, Article I courts, if you will, like Territorial Courts and Military Tribunals. But it has NEVER approved of a situation where an ordinary American citizen – NOT a member of the military or a resident of a territory – can be forced to accept, over its objection, the final judicial decision of a non-Article III court, and, as the Court made very clear in Stern v. Marshall, this was an important structural protection of the Constitution.
It shouldn't be hard to cure a situation that probably wouldn't come up anyway. Which of the cases before the CFPB involve an "ordinary American citizen" as the regulated party, instead of a per-share voting corporation? If it happens, then throw that case out, and go on as before, regulating (and adjudicating) corporate cases only. And for belt and suspenders, allow the corporations to appeal CFPB decisions to Article III courts. Can't they do that already, by the way? If they can't, then I agree with you. That would need to be changed.
Um, if there was no separation of powers, how did Humphrey's Executor get before the Supreme Court? How do any regulatory cases get there?
And now that I think of it, Diver, given your extreme views on separation of powers and the unitary executive, how does the Supreme Court get into the picture at all? Why isn't judicial review an example of illegitimate infringement of the President's power? Or to put it another way, if the President must legitimately grant deference to the Court, why can't he be required similarly to grant deference to Congress?
As usual, leftist appointees of Clinton and Obama continue to damage America.
"and (as a general rule) the Supreme Court does not grant petitions for certiorari from parties that prevailed below." Goodness, Prof. A, didn't all that quaint stuff about not reviewing opinions, but judgments, and not considering appeals from prevailing parties go out the window in Camreta v. Greene, 563 U.S. 692 (2011)?
Hardly seems to dispute the existence of "a general rule".
The Democrats literally just sued to try to bypass the Trump administrations filling in of director after a director quit. We know they will sue anytime a conservative president attempted to sue over due cause. At a limit this causes a delay in the Presidential powers as the lawsuit goes through the courts. It also sows confusion during his period for any rulings a director may make while the lawsuit winds its way through.
The purpose is to allow someone appointed by another party to continue ramming through the china shoppe with no way for an opposing president to stop it.
So just blow away the restriction.
I regretfully find the dissenting arguments in Myers v. United States more persuasive than the arguments of the majority. The dissents maintained (convincingly I think) that Congress, when it creates an office (other than a judgeship) can decide what the tenure of that office will be, and when the President can remove the official without cause (or perhaps even with cause).
I would have written the Constitution to mean what the Supreme Court said it means – the President can control the executive branch, purge the Deep State and obstructive bureaucrats. But Holmes, Brandeis – and don't forget McReynolds – made compelling arguments otherwise in their dissents.
Easy mistake to make — whenever I hear the name "Wilkins," my first thought also goes to NBA legend Gerald Wilkins. What most people don't know is that he had a brother who also played basketball.
the Problem with the CFPB is that from the outset, it was designed to be an entrenched and permanent un-elected Democrat Party bureaucracy that violated the principles of representative government.

Mac Miller: Swimming in 'Circles'
by Diana Yassin February 9, 2020 April 20, 2021
I didn't know who Mac Miller was until he died.
I knew he dated Ariana Grande. I knew he wrote a song about that one guy who hosted NBC's "The Apprentice." I knew I didn't like Blue Slide Park when it came out. These were my thoughts as I read "RIP MAC MILLER" from a slab of ply-wood leaning on a frat house on my way back from a football game on Sept. 8, 2018. I didn't have many more thoughts until later that night when I first listened to Swimming. I sat in my dorm room with the lights off and played it once all the way though, sorting its highlights like "Ladders" and "What's the Use" into various playlists. I hadn't listened to an album that captured depression quite like it, and I wished I could've heard it at least once before Mac's passing.
The wounded album trailed Mac's shattered interiority following a career grounded in a seemingly high-spirited, humorous demeanor. His struggle with drug addiction and depression weren't new topics as much as they were pillars to a notoriously fun discography. Take "Rain" from Faces: "That's a flex though, cover up the issues that I kept close / Sober I can't deal, I'm in the corner with my head low / Runnin' from my shadow, never ending chase / Ease the pain and the battle that's within me / Sniff the same shit that got Whitney, the high heel depression / My temple feel the metal comin' out the Smith & Wesson, bang / Say a prayer, leave my brains on the tile floor." Swimming amalgamated these themes and the emotions that easily hovered under the radar and slipped past the media's gaze. Whereas The Divine Feminine is an ode to love and togetherness, Swimming is lonesome. Swimming is stopping to catch your breath after a long jog. Mac struggled to stay afloat amid a livelihood accustomed to the support of others. Whereas sonic soulmate Ariana Grande seemingly moved on romantically with ease, Mac was emotionally and mentally stagnant.
Circles is an album designed in the same mindset of its sister Swimming. Envisioned alongside another concept album that never came to fruition (Oblivion), Circles was left nearly complete when Mac died. The early versions of the album were worked through Mac and producer Jon Brion, who took the initiative of finishing the album following Mac's passing. "This is a complicated process that has no right answer. No clear path," Mac's family wrote in an Instagram post. "We simply know that it was important to Malcolm for the world to hear it."
Circles was developed to loop back to Swimming. This idea harkens back to Swimming's closer "So it Goes," an eerie reference to death in Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse-Five." "My god, it go on and on," he raps. "Just like a circle, I go back to where I'm from." Both albums are centered on depression and its ensuing anxieties, but Circles is a lot more optimistic, more willing to wait out the storm. On Swimming track "Come Back to Earth," Mac raps "I just need a way out of my head / I'll do anything for a way out of my head." Circles responds to this predicament across multiple songs. He is "spring cleaning" in plucked single "Good News" and recognizes that "(it) is getting pretty cluttered" and hard to "clean up" the mess he's made in his head on "Complicated." Mac tries to clean up a lot on Circles, whether it be his head or his public image.
Circles depicts Mac as lonely, but still alongside others. He isn't afraid to question his capacity for love on "Woods." Produced by longtime collaborator E. Dan, Mac questions his own emotions following a rift in a relationship. "Do I, do I, do I love?," he sings in the chorus. Mac does rap on songs like "Hand Me Downs" but the aura is loose and contemplative. With Baro as the album's only feature in the chorus, Mac envisions a future alongside a family: "You remind me / Shit, I need to stay in line / You damn well are a great design," Baro croons. "You, despite being an only child / Say you need more of a family 'round / Let's turn these genes into hand me downs."
Thematically and sonically, Circles is his most naked release. The album never breaks out into traditional rap with the exception of "Hands," a song about negative self-destructive behaviors in the sound and style of Faces. Despite Jon Brion finishing much of the production for Circles, the aesthetic is very Mac. The lo-fi beats and soulful, jazzy glimmers gather the same energy as Mac's Space Migration Tour with The Internet in 2013. Circles is iridescent. With a hypnotic grip on elements from Mac's ever-evolving music style, it grooves as easily as a traditional Mac album.
Whether it be Mac laying in his grave in his final music video "Self Care," the eerily fated prediction to "join the 27 club" on "God Speed" or his posting "So it Goes" as his last Instagram story, the writing on the wall and fatalistic undertones grip you. This is not the case with Circles. Mac's exhaustion coats every lyric but with a subtle, gentle hope. Whereas Swimming considers living in the long term, Circles takes itself one day at a time. I think a lot back to the moment in "Complicated," where Mac sings, "'Fore I start to think about the future / First, can I please get through a day?" a reprise to the first verse: "Some people say they want to live forever / That's way too long, I'll just get through today."
Circles was a surreal release for me; I never expected myself to know the anticipation of waiting for a Mac Miller album. The circumstances were completely different, but Circles looped me back to my discovery of Swimming. I knew a lot more about Mac this time around, and I knew that this album would resonate with me, something I hadn't expected from Swimming. Circles, as anguished and tired as it is, is a comfortably ephemeral closing to Mac Miller and the legacy he left behind. This album takes us back to the heartbreak of Swimming; we'll never know how Mac would've progressed beyond this point. The one thing I do know is that there couldn't have been a better musical send off to Mac than an album that epilogues his spirit and style the way this one does.

AI: Verdict on Bahrain's Salman Is Bitter Blow to Freedom of Expression
folder_openBahrain access_time4 years ago
Local Editor
Amnesty International slammed Bahrain's verdict on opposition leader Sheikh Ali Salman.
Responding to the news that Bahrain's Court of Cassation has upheld the conviction of opposition leader Sheikh Ali Salman, Amnesty International's Middle East Campaigns Director Samah Hadid said:
"Today's verdict is yet another nail in the coffin for the right to freedom of expression in Bahrain and exposes the country's justice system as a complete farce. The decision to uphold Sheikh Ali Salman's conviction and life prison sentence following an unfair trial highlights the authorities' determination to silence critical voices".
She went on to say, "The Bahraini authorities must quash Sheikh Ali Salman's conviction and release him immediately and unconditionally. They should also rescind the decision to dissolve the two opposition political groups, al-Wefaq and Wa'ad, and guarantee the right of everyone to freedom of association".
Sheikh Ali Salman has been repeatedly arrested and charged for his perceived critical views of the authorities.
On 4 November 2018, he was sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of alleged trumped-up spying charges. Two other al-Wefaq members, Ali al-Aswad and Sheikh Hassan Sultan, were convicted in their absence during the same trial.
On 28 January 2019, Bahrain's Al Khalifa regime's Supreme Court upheld a life term over the alleged "spying" for Qatar.

# cospi

> Compute the [cosine][@stdlib/math/base/special/cos] of a number times [π][@stdlib/constants/float64/pi].

## Usage

```javascript
var cospi = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/cospi' );
```

#### cospi( x )

Computes `cos(πx)` more accurately than `cos(pi*x)`, especially for large `x`.

```javascript
var y = cospi( 0.0 );
// returns 1.0

y = cospi( 0.5 );
// returns 0.0

y = cospi( 0.1 );
// returns ~0.951

y = cospi( NaN );
// returns NaN
```

## Examples

```javascript
var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array/base/linspace' );
var cospi = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/cospi' );

var x = linspace( -100.0, 100.0, 100 );

var i;
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( cospi( x[ i ] ) );
}
```

We start the story at an initiation ceremony where Narine is chosen to be a keeper and the future high sage of Faweh. But then an alien substance falls down to earth and those plans are quickly changed. Although she is not ready, Narine must learn the hard and fast way to protect her world.
Narine is headstrong and doubts herself, which impedes here growth into her role as keeper and high sage. One she gets past that, she becomes the savior that her people and world need. I liked how she was very realistic, I could see part of my own stubbornness in her. But I liked that she did her best and although she didn't save everyone she tried her best for those that are there.
Narine of Noe is the fourth book in the Faerie Tales from the White Forest but it is actually the prequel to the series. I was hesitant to read this book since I have not read the other books in the series but being a prequel it gave me a good layout to the rest of the books.
The only thing that was challenging was the fact that there was an index in the back of the book. Since I read an ebook I didn't know this until the end. I think it would have been easier in the beginning of the book so I knew it was there and I could skim before and during reading.
Beyond this, I really liked Narine of Noe. I am really curious to read the rest of the series and see what happens next.
To purchase Narine of Noe make sure to check out Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, and Danika Dinsmore's website.
I received Narine of Noe for free from eBooks for Review in exchange for an honest review.

Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year (Hardcover)
By Demi Lovato
Currently Not Available In Store - Usually Available for Shipping, In-Store Pickup, or Curbside Pickup in 1-5 Days
Demi Lovato wakes up each morning and affirms her commitment to herself—to her health, her happiness, her being. Those commitments are the bedrock of her recovery and her work helping other young people dealing with the issues she lives with every single day.
Demi is a platinum-selling recording artist whose latest album—DEMI—is already a smash hit. She's about to embark on her second season as a judge on X-Factor, and just launched The Lovato Treatment Scholarship Program. And she is an outspoken advocate for young people everywhere.
Demi is also a young woman finding her way in the world. She has dealt deftly with her struggles in the face of public scrutiny, and she has always relied, not just on friends and family, but daily affirmations of her self-worth and value. Affirmations that steady her days and strengthen her resolve.
Those affirmations have grown into STAYING STRONG, a powerful 365-day collection of Demi's most powerful, honest, and hopeful insights. Each day will provide the readers with a quote, a personal reflection and a goal.
These are Demi's words. Words she lives by and shares with the people she loves and total strangers alike. They are a powerful testament to a young woman standing up and fighting back.
Twenty-one-year-old Demi Lovato's fame began when she was cast on Barney and Friends. From the outside, she was all smiles, but as she grew up in front of the camera—the star of the record-breaking Camp Rock franchise; leading lady of her own Disney show, Sonny with a Chance; and a budding music career—she was falling apart. As Demi entered adolescence, she was being bullied, and she struggled with bulimia, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse, and eventually secretly began cutting herself.
Her career was taking off, but she bowed out of her world-wide tour and checked herself into rehab, which she successfully completed. She started the Lovato Treatment Scholarship program to help others with their illnesses.
She's currently entering her second season as an X-Factor judge and her latest album Demi has gone platinum. She will also be joining the fifth season of Glee. Demi has many accolades, including one MTV Video Music Award, twenty-five Teen Choice Awards nominations, 14 of which she has won, four People's Choice Awards, one ALMA award, a Billboard Touring Award and several others.
Outside of her work in the entertainment industry, Lovato is involved in philanthropic activity through charity work and various social and environmental causes. In May 2013 she was awarded for her dedication as a mentor to teens and young adults with mental health challenges at a National Children's Mental Health Awareness day hosted by SAMHSA in Washington.
"With an affirmation and inspirational quote for every single day of the year, you can not only channel Demi's spirit, but get an idea of just what is is that's helped her turn things around. It's kind of like a window into her mind and whether you read it cover to cover or dip in and out, there's no question that you'll come away from it with a smile on your face and something to think about."—Sugarscape

sport, local-sport, Josh Ferris, 2018 youth Olympics, Mixed Triathlon
Ebenezer teenager Josh Ferris has returned from the 2018 Youth Olympic Games with a silver medal. The 17-year-old travelled to Buenos Aires, Argentina in October to take part in the games, contesting the triathlon. The Arndell College student qualified for the olympics in March, having placed first in his age group at the Oceania Youth Olympic Games Qualifier in New Zealand. Josh said: "it was reassuring and nice to know that you are that guy who gets a spot that only comes up once every four years". Josh went through an intense year of training, completing around 12 sessions a week, often four of each sport (running, swimming and bike riding), along with a few gym sessions. Josh trains with his dad, which he says helps him stay focused. "There's a good balance, with him knowing when to talk training and tactics, but still being my dad … he's always there as both," Said Josh. Josh competed in two events while in Buenos Aires. The first was the individual men's triathlon which involved him completing a 750 meter swim, a 20 kilometer bike ride and a five kilometer run. He placed 18th and said, "It was far from my best." But Josh had to shrug off his performance and backup for the mixed group medley only a couple days later. He was competing in an Oceania team that was entering the event ranked 16th. The team featured himself, fellow Australian Charlotte Derbyshire and two New Zealanders, Brea Roderick and Dylan McCullough. The team were underdogs, coming in against some dominant European teams. The tag team event required each competitor to complete a 300 meter swim an eight kilometer bike ride and a two kilometer run Oceania came in second. "It was so great to do so well," said Josh. "It was just so surreal. To get any medal is amazing but winning one with the olympic rings on it is just a whole new feeling. "It means I really can compete at both a national and world level." Josh was in awe of the whole experience. He said that it was "the top of what I've done so far." "The Olympic Village and each day really put things into perspective as I got to see how far reaching sport is and how it brings so many people together." Josh, in year 12, currently mixes homework and training. Eventually he hopes to make a career out of sport. Josh broke his wrist while competing just 18 months ago. At the time he had the chance to become the national champion. A return to form, and making the Olympic team gave him confidence heading to Buenos Aires. Josh said that he decided to give serious competition a crack about three years ago. He said he was thankful for the opportunity.

Philly rocking the ICA!!!
Megawords, the multi-tasking publishers and producers of hard-to-pigeonhole culture, is up to something, although we're not sure what, as they hang out at the ICA in a show called One is the loneliest number. We know they are thinking about collaboration and that their presence at the ICA includes installation, performances, poetry, theory, video and other programming the Megawordsters have invited. Included in the posse of performers are video (and marriage) collaborators Nadia Hironaka and Matt Suib, also Philly people.
The show is April 21 through August 7.
Bill Walton, Scarty, Painted wood, gesso, 8 1/2 x 10 x 1 3/4 inches, from fleisher-ollmangallery.com website
Also at the ICA, look for a Bill Walton solo show in the fall, according Miranda, the ICA's blog. Miranda reports that a student intern is cataloging every single object in the late sculptor's studio–from slippers to tools. Walton died about a year ago.
Gallery moves
Anne Seidman, image from schmidtdean.com
Schmidt/Dean's current show of work by Anne Seidman and by Krista Steinke is its last at the current location. Rent went up and the building may be up for sale. Where to go? Old City was too far from where his clients live. So the gallery will be moving just a block or two away from his current location, to a building on Chestnut & 17th streets. The new place is on the 4th floor in a building with an elevator, and the gallery space has big windows, 18-foot tall ceilings with black beams, and 1600-square feet of gallery space–with an emphasis on square (i.e. not long and narrow).
Happy first birthday tonight to the Great and Terrible Collective which is also moving, but we're not sure where, yet. For tonight, however, it is still in Kensington at 172 W. Montgomery Ave. So celebrate with them and with free beer and food, 6:30 to 9:30 (by time we get this up, the evening is half over, but there's still time…). If it doesn't rain there will also be a bbq. The art will include performances and videos by Kerdieekrdaad and Sandy Frank respectively–and any artwork of your own that you bring along.
Possible Projects got its first show up ever in Philly, at 873 E. Thompson St! Gallery hours are Saturdays and Sundays 12-4 pm and by appointment info@possibleprojects.com. The show, Cold Open, goes to May 1 and features work that uses the film narrative technique of dropping the viewer in the middle of a story without any intro or preparation.
Piffaro is holding a contest for composers–rap meets the Renaissance. The First NEW R(en] Contest, A Mash-Up Composers Contest for All Ages & Skills is accepting entries through May 1. Start with renaissance music and remix.
ArtPrize, the public art event/competition in Grand Rapids, MI, is once again calling for artists to submit their work. The $500,000 in prizes are determined by vox populi, not the usual art world insiders.
Art theory book club forms in West Philly

I know that there is an upcoming Man of Steel sequel which is a yet-to-be titled "Batman vs Superman" movie and I also know that the Batman character which will be played by Ben Affleck will also have a new look on its batsuit but it never came into my knowledge that the people behind this high-profile franchise will also redesign the popular batmobile.
I didn't know until director Zack Snyder tweeted the image of the partially-revealed and tarp-covered new Batmobile today with caption that says "Could be time to pull the tarp...Tomorrow?" Whatever that I means, I don't know, but seems like we are up for a treat atleast tomorrow. Let's find out.
What can you say about this new batmobile? Looking at this particular photo, it's very clear that the design is not from what we saw in the Dark Knight Trilogy. It's more of a classin look. I just can't wait to see the full glory of this new machine.


Thanks to its Lazarus-like recovery in recent times, AMD has reported its first operating profit in three years. But while Ryzen, Vega, and Epyc helped it beat Wall Street's Q3 2017 estimates, the company's shares were down 11 percent in after-hours trading based on warnings for the current quarter.
For the third quarter of 2017, AMD posted non-GAAP earnings of 10 cents per share on revenue of $1.64 billion, marking a 26 percent year-over-year increase and a 36 percent jump over the previous quarter. Analysts had been expecting 8 cents per share on revenue of $1.51 billion.
"Strong customer adoption of our new high-performance products drove significant revenue growth and improved financial results from a year ago," said AMD chief executive Lisa Su. "Our third quarter new product introductions and financial execution mark another important milestone as we establish AMD as a premier growth company in the technology industry."
The semiconductor company's computing and graphics segment saw a huge YoY improvement. Thanks to sales of the popular Ryzen processors and its Radeon GPUs, operating income was $70 million, compared to a $66 million loss posted one year ago. The firm pointed to Threadripper, Ryzen 3, and Radeon RX Vega as highlights from Q3 2017.
AMD's GPUs are proving especially popular with Bitcoin miners; a fact that has no doubt helped boost sales. Exactly how many cards were bought specifically for the purpose of mining is difficult to gauge. "The market is hard to size because it goes through some of the same channels as games," Su said.
The launch of Ryzen finally saw AMD offering Intel some competition in the high-end CPU market once again. You can see how the chips stack up against Intel's eighth-generation Core series in our gaming benchmarks feature.
While AMD will be pleased with the results, shares fell on warnings that revenue for the current quarter will be down 15 percent, plus or minus 3 percent, from the previous third quarter.


Emmanuel Baptist Church is an Independent Baptist Church located in the small town of Omaha, Arkansas, just twenty minutes south of Branson, Missouri. We seek to fulfill the Great Commission and glorify the Lord in all we do. Thus, you will find our congregation loving and caring! We hope you will come visit us!

The primary wood appears to be maple and retains a deep warm cherry finish. This case is supported on four turned feet that feature bold ring tunings. These interesting turning designs are reenforced in the applied columns that flank the sides of the case front and back and the two wooden finials. An applied beaded molding is position just below the access door. This door is visually divided in two by a thin wooden bar. The lower section is fitted with a mercurial mirror. The upper section is fitted with clear glass and is puttied in place. The crest or the fret panel is nicely shaped. It features a whale's tails pattern This is a very unusual form for this type of clock.
The dial is wood. The spandrel areas and the center section of the dial are decorated with a floral designs. Large Roman hour numerals are used on the time track to indicate the hours. .
This example has a traditional thirty hour time and strike wooden geared movement. It is a "Terry Model 5" which suggests that it was purchased from Eli Terry.

This clock was made circa 1830.
This clock is pictured in Pillar & Scroll. This book was published by the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC).

This clock is pictured on pages 66 and 67.

About William Sherwin of Buckland, Massachusetts
William Sherwin was born in western part of Franklin County in the small town of Ashfield, Massachusetts on October 26, 1787. It is not known when he moved approximately 5 miles north to the town of Buckland. Buckland was organized on April 14th, 1779 from the plantation then called Notown and a part of Charlemont. It is recorded in the town history that he became very active in town affairs serving for a time as the town clerk, an assessor, a school committee member, a selectman, and an overseer of the poor. He was elected multiple times as Buckland's representative to the General Court of the Massachusetts Legislature. Due to his business of manufacturing and selling clocks, his cutting engine is now in the American Clock & Watch Museum in Bristol, Connecticut, the neighborhood around his home and shop was called "Clock Hollow" by the locals. It is thought that he purchased his cases from a Daniel Warner. A tall case clock attributed to Sherwin and Warner remains in the Wilder Homestead collection in that town. The town of Buckland had an industrious center due to the power provided from the Clesson river. Various wooden wares were made in great quantities. William Sherwin died in 1877.


When Alan Swift saw the Rosemary Clay Craftsman Victorian tile from Redland his first thought was: "I've got a job for that tile. The colour's perfect." And that job was an upmarket detached house with four double bedrooms in Wigmore, near Gillingham, that Swift Roofing, Alan's company, was building together with its sister company, Heritage Designer Homes (HDH).
Designed to combine the look and feel of an aged handmade tile with 21st century performance, the Rosemary Clay Craftsman range has textured surfaces, irregular distortions to the front edge and varying hanging lengths. Yet, unlike a reclaimed tile, the Rosemary Clay Craftsman has been rigorously tested by Redland's engineers in the Group's wind tunnel and subjected to driving winds and high rains. These show that the tiles meet all the requirements of BS 5534: 2014 Code of Practice for Slating and Tiling – providing Redland fixing recommendations are followed.
