Good logo, bad logo.
by Peter John Comber
08 April 2021 : Pica #084
The Renault logo redesign is a rare ray of sunshine, especially compared to other recent redesigns.
I think the new Renault logo is very nice. It's dynamic, simple yet interesting. Designed to work equally well on the front of a car and as a tiny icon on a small digital screen, it looks sharp and contemporary while fully respecting the heritage of the diamond shape that has been associated with Renault since 1925 (the current version owes much to a design introduced in 1975).
I'm glad for this good piece of graphic design work from Renault for two reasons: it shows that not all big brands have lost the ability to commission good graphic design and it allows me to go off on a rant about some of the stuff I've recently seen.
Voltswagen: apparently their April fools name change was not a great success. Pity. If I was running a company named by Adolf Hitler I'd be itching to change the name, also following diesel-gate and a recent pledge to go 100% electric by 2026 I'd go all-in with Voltswagen as a new name. Besides, it doesn't mess with the iconic VW device… which coincidentally has just been messed with (redesigned). Unfortunately, the new design looks old (and much worse still) spindly, weak and unbalanced (the lower part of the W that doesn't touch the circle is a distinctive but poorly judged decision that has consequences for the rest of the design).
Verdict: bring back the 1967 version.
BMW: another truly distinctive auto brand that felt it needed to follow the trend of simplifying its design. Pity that the result is spindly, weak and unbalanced… oh wait, I detect a trend, maybe that was part of the design brief. The outer ring is 'transparent' which makes legibility unpredictable and compromises the solidity of the logo. Simply put, any BMW design without the black outer ring is a fail.
Verdict: keep the new design but make the outer ring black.
Intel: with only their third logo design since 1968, a once-dominant and now struggling chip builder goes for a newer, simpler, and more generic logo. I wasn't a fan of the old Intel logo and I'm happy to see it go, but for it to be replaced with something so nondescript and lifeless is depressing.
Verdict: start again, putting the word 'distinctive' in the brief.
Viatris: born from the merger of Mylan and Pfizer's Upjohn division this is a global, off-patent drug production and commercialisation giant.
In the past, I've done work for Mylan so I've used and admired their logo. That is gone and the Viatris design that replaces it is a sad, banal monstrosity. The globe device looks like something a Bond villain would use for his organisation and the lettering is unbalanced. Admittedly as a sequence of letters, Viatris is hard to space pleasantly, especially when all-caps but there are solutions, for example, avoiding all caps.
Verdict: sell the Viatris name and logo to Eon Productions and try something else.
2026 Winter Olympics: this design, named Logo Futura, received 74% of the votes cast by 871,000 people from 169 countries. This sounds impressive until you see the two options people were given to choose from (see above). I suppose a white logo on a white background is appropriate for an event largely based on snow and ice but it isn't technically practical. If other logos are sacrificing elegance and distincitveness for legibility on small screens, this design seemingly ignores both elegance and legibility.
Verdict: Give a marmot a Sharpie and use whatever it comes up with.

Q: OOP + WorkFlow4 Got a simple "Newbie" kind of a question.
I would like to "share" an InArgument between 2 Workflows. Let's consider for a moment the following classic OOP scenario, you got 2 classes with the same property, a reasonable OOP approach would be to create a base class and implement this property once.
When you create a new WorkFlow project, you got a xaml file and your cs is auto-generated. I would like to be able to inherited from an activity that will specify that InArgument and make the WorkFlow show it's property in it's Argument designer. With this approach I should be able to define an InArgument once in an activity and enforce derived WF to have this argument.
Does it make sense?
Consider that this suppose to be part of a framework, I would like my framework user to do the minimum and I still wish him to be able to use a deisgner (using only CodeActivities is unreasonable).
How can I accomplish it?
Ariel

A: FYI, In WF4 the VS2010 WF designer only generates XML. There is no generated C# code.
What you want to do is develop a custom Activity in code which exposes the InArgument as a property. Your custom activity will appear in the Toolbox and can be used in any workflow that you design.

A: FYI,
A Reply from WP4 Forum in MSDN:

WF4 workflow is not a OOP language,
  and I don't think that it is a good
  idea to inherit a existed workflow. As
  a an alternative solution. you can
  create a composte activity as a
  workflow template. then users can
  create their own workflow by using
  your workflow template.

Bombardier Announces Workforce Adjustments
Jun 8, 2020 | News
Bombardier Aviation announced that it would adjust its workforce to align with current market conditions reflecting the extraordinary industry interruptions and challenges caused by COVID-19.
When the pandemic first arose, Bombardier Aviation responded quickly, suspending manufacturing operations to support local government efforts to slow the spread of the virus and to protect the health and safety of employees, partners and customers. Over the past month, Bombardier Aviation guided by health professionals and industry best practices, implemented comprehensive procedures and safeguards to further protect employees and communities as manufacturing operations resumed. Now with business jet deliveries, industry-wide, forecasted to be down approximately 30% year-over-year due to the pandemic, Bombardier must adjust its operations and workforce to ensure that it emerges from the current crisis on solid footing.
Accordingly, Bombardier Aviation has made the difficult decision to reduce its workforce by approximately 2,500 employees. The majority of these reductions will impact manufacturing operations in Canada and will be carried out progressively throughout 2020. Bombardier's worldwide customer service operations have continued to operate largely uninterrupted throughout the pandemic.
Bombardier expects to record a special charge of approximately $40M in 2020 for this workforce adjustment and will provide further information on its market outlook when it reports its second quarter financial results on August 6, 2020.

Chris Fleace's Coach Brad McFadden states "Chris started playing rugby approximately year ago. He has always played in a hand-me-down chair that is more than 10 years old and has been rewelded multiple times. The chair is too small and does not fit him well. Despite this he has been dedicated and works out and trains multiple times throughout the week outside of regularly scheduled practices. The Joe Jackson Foundation grant to purchase a new rugby wheelchair will make a huge difference in Chris's performance and I believe will also encourage him to train even harder. He is someone who deserves this opportunity and he is someone who truly appreciates it as well. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has helped make this happen.
When I received the JoeJackson grant i was extremely excited. I couldn't wait to get my chair and start practicing. Ever since i received the grant and my chair my skills have improved majorly. I am now a much faster and stronger .5 than i was when I started. Also not only that my way of life has tremendously changed because of having a new chair and keeping up with the sport. I can now say i can take care of myself completely which was not the case when i started but was definitely a goal. And i owe it all to the grant and the sport of wheelchair rugby for making me a much stronger person. I am truly grateful for receiving the Joe Jackson grant it has done nothing but open doors for me and there's nothing better than multiple opportunities.
The chair that your organization provided for me opened up a lot opportunities for me. It was the first chair that was properly measured for me which allowed me to really advance and play better rugby. It allowed me to train better and ultimately help me advance to a level which I was able to make the national development team. That wouldn't of been possible of not for chair that you provided for me.

Q: How to comprehend Python function parameter format Example: https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#func-bytearray

class bytearray([source[, encoding[, errors]]])

Normally I just figure this out through examples, but I want to learn why the format of optional parameters are written in this way. Specifically:

*

*What should I interpret when an optional parameter is within a [] of another parameter? If [a[, b]], then what does that mean for b in relation to a? If both are independent of each other, except by order, then why is b enclosed in the bracket for a?

*For second and other parameters, why is there a comma preceding it within the brackets? What makes it different between [a[, b]] and [a[b]] given whatever the relation between the two from the first question above?

*How is this format advantageous or suitable in situations than the one below besides us not having to specify/write the parameter names?

class bytearray(source = default_value1, encoding = default_value2,
  errors = default_value3)

A: These are optional parameters, and there is a dependency to their 'optionality'.
Given class bytearray([source[, encoding[, errors]]]), the valid uses will be
class bytearray()
class bytearray(source)
class bytearray(source, encoding)
class bytearray(source, encoding, errors)

The nested brackets indicate that, for example, you may only specify encoding parameter when you have already specified the source parameter.
Why is there a comma inside the bracket? Because the comma is part of the optional parameter; if you don't choose to specify the parameter then you shouldn't provide the comma.
How is this advantageous over three optional parameters? As above - sometimes a parameter only makes sense when another parameter is provided. In this case the library author has decided they don't want to allow you to provide the encoding parameter unless you have provided the source parameter.

White House: Trump receives new letter from Kim Jong Un
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House said Thursday that President Donald Trump received a new letter from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un following up on their Singapore summit. The correspondence came amid fresh concerns over Pyongyang's commitment to denuclearization.
Trump tweeted early Thursday his thanks to the North Korean leader "for your nice letter — I look forward to seeing you soon!"
The White House did not provide details on the specific content of the letter, which was received Wednesday. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the correspondence was "aimed at following up on their meeting in Singapore and advancing the commitments made in the US-DPRK joint statement."
A second meeting between Trump and Kim has not been planned at this time, according to a person familiar with the process. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity to describe internal planning.
Trump in his tweet expressed gratitude to Kim "for keeping your word" on the return of the remains of more than 50 Americans service members killed during the Korean War. Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. military leaders received the remains in Hawaii during a somber ceremony on Wednesday.
The latest letter from Kim arrived on the heels of concerns over North Korea's ballistic missile program and commitment to denuclearization. Senior Trump administration officials have urged patience, cautioning that the process of denuclearizing North Korea and removing the threat of its long-range missiles will take time.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was headed to an Asian security meeting in Singapore, where a meeting this weekend with North Korea's foreign minister was possible.
Trump has sought to show progress from his June 12 summit with Kim in Singapore. He said during a Tuesday rally in Tampa, Florida, that the U.S. was "doing well" with North Korea and noted the return of detained Americans and Pyongyang's ceasing of nuclear testing or missile tests. "A lot of good things are happening. No tests. No rockets flying. But we'll see what happens," Trump said.
U.S. officials have been closely watching North Korea's willingness to abandon its nuclear ambitions.
The Washington Post on Tuesday reported that U.S. intelligence officials suspect that North Korea is continuing to build new missiles in the same research facility that manufactured the country's ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States.
The Post also reported that North Korean officials have talked about how they plan to deceive the U.S. about the size of their arsenal of missiles and nuclear warheads and facilities.

What do your loading patterns say about you?
When we talk about loading patterns, we are referring to the transfer of load through your feet. This might not seem like a big deal, but depending on your activity, the load going through particular structures can be in excess of 300% of your body weight!
If that load is moving through structures that can't handle that amount of force, then the structure is said to become overloaded, and may be at risk of progressing into an injury. A one-off increase in load through a structure is not going to lead to injury, but it is more the accumulation of that load over time that WILL develop into an injury – an OVERUSE injury.
Overuse injuries can take a long time to heal and can impact on your activity goals.This is why at Pro Feet Podiatry, we invest in technologies that not only assist in treating conditions affecting the foot and ankle, but also help in the prevention, identification and modification of risk factors.
We use video gait analysis and a 3D pressure mat assessment as part of every new client's assessment and existing clients assessments. This is so we can identify any risk factors, that may be affecting a current injury or increasing their risk of any other injuries. This allows us to be proactive in helping us keep you active, healthy, and happy.

FINALIST FOR THE 2014 NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD
FINALIST FOR THE 2015 DAYTON LITERARY PEACE PRIZE
January 8, 2016 Interview with The Rumpus read...
"Toumani's emotional responses to her experience in Turkey, and her honesty in navigating and describing them, lend her story the authority that can come only from a storyteller who recognizes that history is a matter of both fact and feeling. Although this book offers plenty of insight — funny, affectionate, often frustrated — into a unique diasporic culture, Toumani is ultimately less interested in what makes a person Armenian, Turkish or anything else than in what can happen when we start to think beyond those national identities."
—Joanna Scutts, THE WASHINGTON POST
"[A] superb narrative... Toumani, with admirable courage and the enviable skills of a more experienced historian, has written a memoir that delicately walks the line between the subjective nature of memoir and the objective details of the past."
—Meganne Fabrega, THE STAR TRIBUNE
"There Was and There Was Not is a profound and nuanced work about what it costs to remember the past and what it costs trying to forget it."
—David Burr Gerrard, BIOGRAPHILE
A "sensitive, inquiring account ... Toumani casts an unsparingly honest gaze on her own motivations, endlessly trying to find the merit in the other person's point of view (even, as she discovers to her horror, that of the top Turkish genocide-denier), though she can also be very funny. ... Toumani risks the ire of both sides by 'tampering,' as she puts it, 'with the story we had all agreed to tell.' Although it cost her some peace of mind, she has shown considerable courage in doing so."
—Christopher de Bellaigue, THE NEW YORK TIMES
"Audacious" and "compelling" ... "Ms. Toumani's stirring memoir lends hope that reconciliation, imperfect though it may be, can at last be achieved."
"[A] clear-eyed, nuanced memoir… As Toumani bravely exposes the fissures in her thinking about identity, she is also cautiously optimistic that Turks are moving toward recognizing what happened in 1915."
—Judy Bolton-Fasman, THE BOSTON GLOBE
"Impressively researched, passionately pursued, and elegantly written, There Was and There Was Not is a beautiful and important read not just for Armenians and Turks on the 100th anniversary of the tragic genocide; but for all of humanity in an era where we face difficult decisions on how – and on whose terms, and with what ends in mind – to move forward toward a collective future."
—Hans Rollman, POPMATTERS
"This remarkable memoir serves as a moving examination of the complex forces of ethnicity, nationality and history that shape one's sense of self and foster, threaten or fray the fragile tapestry of community."
"A profound meditation on tribalism and truth."
—ELLE: "Elle's Lettres Readers' Prize" (text from print issue)
"Sometimes personal histories retain a potent electromagnetic force. Armenian-American journalist Meline Toumani's extraordinary There Was and There Was Not (Metropolitan Books) tackles the legacy of the 1915 Armenian genocide, opening provocative lines of inquiry into the identities we inherit, and transform."
—Megan O'Grady, VOGUE (text from print issue)
"An extraordinary portrait of Turkish society."
—Elisabeth Donnelly, FLAVORWIRE "10 Must-Read Books for November"
"This brave and balanced personal narrative will be a welcome addition to the canon of books written about the century of hatred between Turks and Armenians."
—LIBRARY JOURNAL (starred review)
"An engaging and deeply personal exploration of ethnicity, nationalism, history and identity…. There Was and There Was Not is neither a history of the genocide nor an examination of its political ramifications for the modern world. It is the story of one woman's attempt to understand her community, its fundamental assumptions, and herself. Written in a conversational style that is by turns heart-wrenching and unexpectedly funny, There Was and There Was Not will appeal not only to those interested in questions of the Armenian genocide but to readers interested in the larger questions of how individuals define themselves within communities and how communities define themselves"
—Pamela Toler, SHELF AWARENESS
"... A humanistic approach to the fraught relations between Turks and Armenians. Toumani lived in Turkey and learnt Turkish, relating the sometimes difficult interactions in her book, which is a mix of reportage, memoir, and essay. With the centenary of 1915 fast approaching, we can learn much from Toumani's insightful account."

Discussed in "Transcending the Nationalism of the Armenian Genocide Debate" by Elizabeth Shakman Hurd, Al Jazeera America
Discussed in "A Long Memory, a Longer Road to Reconciliation," Lehigh University News
Discussed in "Remembering the Armenian Genocide," Kirkus Reviews
Advance praise for There Was and There Was Not:
"In this courageous and candid memoir, Meline Toumani reflects on what it really means—and does not mean—to come into the inheritance of a tragic past; on the complex feelings involved in confronting a historical enemy and Other; and on what we owe—and do not owe—to our collective identities, and what to ourselves. Writing with precise insight and wit, Toumani addresses issues that weave through traumatic histories everywhere, and that continue to concern us all."
—Eva Hoffman, author of After Such Knowledge: Memory, History and the Legacy of the Holocaust
"This is a brave book, deeply intelligent and elegantly readable, providing a much needed fresh point of view. Anyone genuinely interested in the relations between Armenians and Turks, a subject that continues to be clouded by politics, must read it. In a meticulous, clarifying, and highly informed accounting, Toumani gives a personal perspective on the hate-filled relationship that persists between those Armenians who insist that the genocide be recognized and those Turks who adamantly deny the historical truth of the genocide. I could not put it down."
—Eric Bogosian, author of Operation Nemesis
"Meline Toumani has written an unusual book: courageous, intriguing, and at moments, despite its subject, unexpectedly funny. And her determination to understand and put behind her a century of hatred has echoes for more peoples than just Turks and Armenians."
—Adam Hochschild, author of To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914–1918
"Meline Toumani's inspiring book cuts through the fog of politics surrounding the Armenian genocide with honesty, intelligence, and humanity. I was very impressed by the charm, humor, and bravery she displays in her relationships with Turks from all sides of the political spectrum, as well as her willingness to examine the assumptions of her fellow diaspora Armenians."
—Ruth Franklin, author of A Thousand Darknesses: Lies and Truth in Holocaust Fiction
"Meline Toumani's beautifully rendered memoir is a powerful reminder of how family histories can constrain as much as they enhance our understanding of the world. This is a remarkable, vital, and perhaps above all courageous investigation into history, culture, and the human heart."
—Dinaw Mengestu, author of All Our Names
"This deft combination of political and personal narrative is an attempt to cross one of the modern world's most sensitive divides. With warmth and feeling, it shows why so many people and nations are imprisoned by the past, and what can happen when they set themselves free."
—Stephen Kinzer, author of Crescent and Star: Turkey Between Two Worlds
"I read Meline Toumani's original and audacious book with admiration, first for the grainy pleasures of her narrative—the raw energy of true encounters—and perhaps even more for her nerve and seriousness in trying, as an Armenian-American woman, to find a path between the often-self-defeating absolutism of her own Armenian community and the Orwellian evasions of most contemporary Turks when asked to acknowledge the plain act of long-ago genocide in plain language."
—Michael J. Arlen, author of Passage to Ararat

Three Questions to Ask About NOAA's Funding
appropriations,
house of representatives,
hurricane sandy,
national ocean policy,
noaa,
ocean funding
This week in Congress, the House of Representatives will put forth a bill to fund the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the 2014 fiscal year. We saw earlier this year that President Obama's 2014 budget for NOAA would provide a bright future for our ocean, but the funding bill in the House paints a much grimmer picture.
How will you know whether the bill will support a healthy ocean? Here are three questions to ask:
1. NOAA's topline budget: does it cover the costs?
Despite being one of the most important agencies to our ocean, NOAA has faced significant funding cuts in recent years, and it is likely that the House will attempt to steeply cut NOAA's budget again this year. With the sequestration, NOAA's budget is already hovering at 13 percent below the current request for $5.4 billion. This bill could demand even lower numbers.
NOAA's mission of protecting, restoring and managing our ocean and coasts is vitally important to our ocean and coastal economies, which contribute more than $258 billion annually to the nation's gross domestic product and support 2.7 million jobs through fisheries and seafood production, tourism, recreation, transportation and construction.
Adequate funding for NOAA is critically important to the health of our nation's ocean and coasts, and the economies and communities that depend on them. Cutting resources will cost us—now and in the future.
2. Is there balance between NOAA's wet and dry missions?
NOAA has been tasked with a broad range of duties, from the National Weather Service and weather satellite programs (dry side) to the National Ocean Service and ocean and coastal programs (wet side).
Congress must maintain balanced investments across NOAA's missions. Americans shouldn't have to choose between weather satellites and ocean and coastal resources that support and protect our coastal economies and communities. We simply need both.
One example of the importance of NOAA's "wet side" programs is the role they play in disaster preparedness and mitigation. Coastal wetland buffer zones in the United States are estimated to provide $23.2 billion per year in storm protection, and a single acre of wetland can store 1 to 1.5 million gallons of floodwaters or storm surge.
In addition, ocean and coastal observations and monitoring supports severe storm tracking and weather forecasting systems, which greatly reduce the cost of natural disaster preparation, evacuation and mitigation. We know that disasters, both natural and man-made, will strike our shores again. Let's ensure we're better prepared.
3. Does the bill attack the National Ocean Policy?
In past years, attempts have been made to use NOAA's funding bill to attack the National Ocean Policy. The policy is about balance, good governance and ensuring long-term sustainability for our ocean economy and ocean environment.
Without creating new regulations, the National Ocean Policy calls for federal agencies to coordinate their ocean activities and leverage limited resources to more efficiently carry out activities like mapping and monitoring. Attacks on the National Ocean Policy risk ongoing conflict and uncertainty for our nation's ocean and coasts.
In addition, because the National Ocean Policy focuses on coordinating existing laws and services, there is a risk that attacks on it could affect programs that communities currently rely on. This could even harm plans critical to Superstorm Sandy recovery and restoration efforts in places like the Gulf of Mexico and the Chesapeake Bay.
Investing in our ocean will benefit coastal ecosystems and the economies they support. If we shortchange NOAA, we shortchange the communities that rely on the ocean. Congress must ensure that the funding levels match the importance of NOAA's tasks at hand.


The Utah System of Higher Education sponsors the Step Up website to provide information to students and families on college planning. The website has the usual check lists by grade, high school course recommendations, financial aid definitions, state scholarship information, and a listing of two and four-year colleges in the state.
Step Up refers users to the Utah Futures.org website for calculators, assessments, and portfolios. Some of the features such as the portfolio requires a state student ID and login. However, the financial aid sort, value of a college education calculator, and school comparison don't require a login. It includes a link to the Utah Higher Education Assistance Authority calendar of events on how to pay for college.
There isn't a general site for community college articulation and transfer agreements. The University of Utah has information on transferring from specific institutions on its website. You can find out information on exchange programs between Utah and other states at the Western Interstate Commission for Higher education.
There are 11 four-year Utah colleges with 500 or more full-time undergraduates. Four of the Utah Colleges are private and 7 are public universities according to the Integrated Post-secondary Data System. Of the 137,540 students, 47.3% attend private colleges and 52.7% attend public universities.
The average four-year graduation rate for private Utah colleges was 39.5% and the average five-year rate for public schools was 29.8%. One Utah college meets the DIY College Rankings 50-50 profile requirements.
College-bound seniors in Utah had an average of 20.8 ACT Composite score with a 20 for English and 20.3 for Math. The 75th Percentile scores were a Composite of 24, 24 for English, and 24 for Math. A total of five colleges ACT 75th% Composite scores were at or above this level.


Bonjour lecteurs! Happy Easter 2018! It's been a quiet weekend for us but we enjoyed some family time in Folkestone and Baba made the most of his new scooter! So here is our Living Arrows 14/53 with Baba on wheels. His new favourite toy. I am not joking… He would even ride it at home!
Micro Scooters sent us a gorgeous scooter (or trottinette in French) and Baba absolutely loves it!
I discovered this brand while we were at a press day last month and I was so surprised to see how fast Baba got it. I will soon write a full review on the blog but I wanted to share some pics with him using it this week.
Actually, I really struggled to get some good pictures as he is very fast on it and it is a bit difficile to catch le petit monstre on his new favourite toy!
See the concentration on his face?
After some practice in our neighbourhood this week, Baba was really proud to show off to people his skills on the seaside today.
We went for a little excursion to Folkestone as it is Easter and Baba had a blast on his scooter.
Not even scared to try it in the pebbles!
I can't wait to take Baba to the park with it. Let's hope we have some sunny days next week so that we can make the most of it!
Merci for reading our Living Arrows 14/53 and see you soon for the full review on the blog!
Disclosure: We received a Micro Scooter for free. All opinions remain our own.
Our grandsons love their scooters and have now progressed on to bigger stunt scooters now that they are older.
Micro scooters are great – I see so many little kids whizzing about the parks on them. I always thought they must be quite difficult to steer.
My son wants one of these. They look cool but I've always wondering how safe they really are ? His balance is not the best due to a hearing issue . Looking forward to seeing how you guys get on in the park with it . I'm seriously considering one for the summer ,they do look like a lot of fun and a good way to burn some energy !
It is actually really easy to get used to it. Plus you would usually have protections and a helmet so I would consider it for sure.
Ahh gorgeous pics! mine love their scooters too, they are never happier when zipping along on it!
Oh bless him! My little girl loves her micro scooter.
A scooter is such a fun toy. I'm glad he loves it.
Awww he is going so fast and he scootles so fast too – he will keep you fit chasing him lol!
Looks a great idea, gets them out and about in the fresh air!
Aww he looks so happy with it!

Rocky Mountaineer announced today that seven newly built GoldLeaf Service rail cars will be offered on its Western Canadian rail routes for the 2019 season. The world's largest privately owned luxury train company will add four rail cars to its fleet in April, with three additional cars coming later in the season. The bi-level rail cars feature oversized glass-dome windows and a separate dining area for guests traveling through the Canadian Rockies.
To meet the growing demand from travelers worldwide, Rocky Mountaineer partnered with the Swiss rail car company Stadler to engineer and then build the new equipment at its facilities in Germany, keeping guest comfort and experience at the forefront throughout. This project marked the largest capital investment in Rocky Mountaineer's history. The remaining three cars will join the fleet in 2020, bringing the company's total to 26 bi-level GoldLeaf rail cars and 16 single-level SilverLeaf rail cars to mark Rocky Mountaineer's 30th anniversary as a luxury tourist company.
"These new GoldLeaf rail cars will allow us to welcome even more guests on board our trains and offer increased availability across our most popular dates and routes," said Steve Sammut, president and chief executive officer, Rocky Mountaineer. "We were intentional in designing these new cars to offer the same exemplary guest comfort across the entire fleet, while also making numerous engineering enhancements behind the scenes that reflect our goal of constantly enhancing both the experience and efficiency of our service."
Dimmable domed windows: The upper level windows use a suspended particle device layer, which can be dimmed to moderate the intensity of incoming sunlight. This is similar technology to what is used in luxury yachts and business jets.
Redesigned galley kitchens: The galleys feature upgraded ovens and stovetops, electrical grills, eco-friendly dishwashers, and optimal preparation spaces for meal preparation.
Custom-designed seats: The heated composite-leather seats recline without impacting the guest seated behind and can spin 180 degrees to create more social seating.
Enhanced ride quality: The cars feature other technical features that enhance the overall guest experience, including improved suspension design.
Each GoldLeaf rail car seats 72 guests. The new cars will be added to the trains traveling on two of Rocky Mountaineer's routes: First Passage to the West, a two-day rail journey between Vancouver and Lake Louise or Banff; and Journey through the Clouds, a two-day rail journey between Vancouver and Jasper.
For more information on booking a journey, please contact Rocky Mountaineer at 1-877-460-3200 or http://www.rockymountaineer.com; or contact a travel agent. For the latest news, follow on Twitter or Instagram, tune into YouTube, and connect on Facebook.


"We love a challenge", says Jari Silaste. "The more challenging or difficult the client and the development is, the better." He's a man with more gray than dark in his hair, sipping his black coffee through a sugar cube. He knows what he's talking about. "In some cases, the client does not really know the possibilities of mobility. Then we talk, and talk, and come into a conclusion – the conclusion. That's what we're good at, and we're the best at providing that conclusion." Sounds like a provider of tall orders. "Yes", he says, without a blink.
Boogie Software, or more casually, Boogie, as they like to be called, was founded in 2006, just before the international economic turmoil started to bite. Regardless of the sign of the times, they concentrated on what they knew best: programming. Now they are a profit-making company with 25 employees, all of whom share not only the talent but also a beautiful view of a riverbank near central Oulu.
"A view like this gives you perspective, you feel the history and the nature." However, Silaste the CEO is looking ahead. "Our offering is right at the cutting edge of technology. We complement our offering with cloud services and web interfaces, but it's our mobile expertise makes the difference. Boogie is the best developer when you go across platforms. Period. And I mean the best in the world." As he talks, he gives reasons why this is more than just puff.
How to recruit the best?

Q: Copy GIF data from clipboard with WinJS I'm writing a WinJS app and it would be a nice feature to handle animated GIFs.  After some research, if would seem that in order to do that, that the data is copied to the clipboard using the little know CF_GIF clipboard format
how to get animated gif image from browser clipboard api?
but looking over the WinJS documentation for clipboard formats
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/apps/windows.applicationmodel.datatransfer.standarddataformats
it doesn't seem like CF_GIF is available, and when I copy a GIF to the clipboard and look at dataPackageView with the command
var dataPackageView = Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer.Clipboard.getContent();

it just shows up as a bitmap.  Can anyone tell me if it is indeed possible to get an animated GIF from the clipboard or some kind of work around?

A: CF_Bitmap is the way to go here.
You COULD make a private data format, and put the entire GIF on there. And you could paste it into other instances of your app. But it wouldn't work with anything else, unless you also provided it as CF_Bitmap.
OK, there's another way.  You could dump to a .gif file, then place the CF_HDROP (file pointer) onto the clipboard. Then when you paste, it's like pasting a file from windows explorer. That may work for some apps.
Yeah, like I said, use CF_Bitmap.

Q: cURL with variables and multiprocessing in shell I've been trying to solve this for a few days with no luck. What I am trying to do is to feed my curl json with my local IPs, process multiple cURLs as fast as possible in and receive variables back to a file.
My first code is running fine, but he is processing line by line and it is taking eternity. I would like to run something like xargs or parallel.
I have the following .txt file (IP.txt):
192.168.1.100
192.168.1.102
192.168.1.104
192.168.1.105
192.168.1.106
192.168.1.168
...

I am feeding this file to a code:
cat IP.txt | while read LINE; do

C_RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method":"data","params":[]}' $LINE:80 | jq -r '.result[]')

for F_RESPONSE in $C_RESPONSE; do
echo $LINE $F_RESPONSE >> output.txt

done
done

Output of this script is following:
192.168.1.100 value_1
192.168.1.100 value_2
192.168.1.100 value_3
192.168.1.100 value_4
192.168.1.100 value_5
192.168.1.102 value_1
192.168.1.102 value_2
192.168.1.102 value_3
192.168.1.104 value_1
192.168.1.104 value_2
192.168.1.104 value_3
192.168.1.104 value_4
192.168.1.104 value_5
192.168.1.104 value_6
192.168.1.104 value_7
192.168.1.104 value_8
192.168.1.104 value_9
192.168.1.104 value_10
192.168.1.105 value_1
192.168.1.105 value_2
192.168.1.106 value_1
192.168.1.168 value_1
...

I would like to make this code faster with parallel or xargs or even &. However adding &:
C_RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method":"data","params":[]}' $LINE:80 | jq -r '.result[]') &

I'm sending script to the background and I am unable to process
for F_RESPONSE in $C_RESPONSE; do
echo $LINE $F_RESPONSE >> output.txt

With parallel command like this I am able to produce only values but I can't see IP:
cat IP.txt | parallel -j200 "curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' {}:80 -X POST -d '{\"method\":\"data\",\"params\":[]}'" | jq -r '.result[]' >> output.txt

value_1
value_2
value_3
value_4
value_5
value_1
value_2
value_3
value_1
value_2
value_3
value_4
value_5
value_6
value_7
value_8
value_9
value_10
value_1
value_2
value_1
value_1
...

I've tried googling and reading many tutorials, but no luck. How can I solve this problem?
Thanks!
So here is a quick solution as proposed by @Poshi. Solution is without limiter so can cause problems if too many background jobs will be running.
#!/bin/bash

function call() {
    arg1=$1
    C_RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method":"data","params":[]}' $arg1:80 | jq -r '.result[]')

    for F_RESPONSE in $C_RESPONSE; do
    echo $arg1 $F_RESPONSE >> output.txt
done
}

cat IP.txt | while read LINE; do

call $LINE &

done

A: as an improvement to your code, you may consider to add control for number of processes initialized. check my answer below
#!/bin/bash

function call() {
    arg1=$1
    C_RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method":"data","params":[]}' $arg1:80 | jq -r '.result[]')

    for F_RESPONSE in $C_RESPONSE; do
    echo $arg1 $F_RESPONSE >> output.txt
done
}

cat IP.txt | while read LINE; do

while (($(pgrep -P "$$" curl | wc -l)> 10))
do
    sleep 0,2;
done

call $LINE &

done

A: xargs -P is a tool built for the job. (GNU parallel even moreso, but it's a mess of perl with semantics that make its use fault-prone so I cannot recommend its use; see the mailing list thread at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parallel/2015-05/msg00005.html).
call() {
  : # put your definition here
}
export -f call # make that function accessible to child processes

# tell xargs to start 4 shells (adjust to taste!) processing lines.
# presently, this gives each shell 16 jobs to reduce startup overhead
# ...adjust to tune for your actual workload.
<IP.txt xargs -n 16 -d $'\n' -P4 bash -c 'for line; call "$line"; done' _

Heuersdorf était un village allemand qui a la particularité d'être détruit. Il faisait partie de la commune de Regis-Breitingen, dans l'arrondissement du Pays-de-Leipzig (aujourd'hui fusionné dans l'arrondissement de Leipzig), dans le Land de Saxe.

Situé en bordure de la mine de lignite à ciel ouvert de Schleenhain (créée en 1949), il a été progressivement évacué à partir de  par le gouvernement allemand, pour permettre d'agrandir la mine et d'exploiter les gisements de lignite découverts dans son sous-sol. Le dernier habitant a quitté le village pendant l'été 2009

Église d'Emmaüs de Heuersdorf

L'église, datée de 1297, est la plus ancienne église fortifiée encore existante en Saxe. Son importance historique a permis sa survie : elle a été déménagée d'une seule pièce à Borna, petite ville à environ 10 kilomètres de Heuersdorf.

Longue de 14,5 m, large de 8,9 m, haute de 19,6 m et pour un poids total de 665 tonnes, elle a été chargée le  sur un camion de 800CV spécialement conçu pour cette opération. Après un voyage lent et très minutieux (l'église chargée sur la remorque ne pouvant supporter une inclinaison de la route de plus de 2 % sous peine de basculer), le convoi n'avait pour les derniers 100 mètres qu'une marge de manœuvre de 4 cm entre les maisons (soit 2 cm de chaque côté). L'édifice est arrivé à Borna 12 jours plus tard, le , jour de la Fête de la Réformation.

L'église a de nouveau ouvert en 2008 lors du culte du dimanche de Pâques, exactement un an après la dernière cérémonie religieuse tenue à l'ancien emplacement.

Taiwan 5G Alliance aims to launch pre-commercial 5G in 2020
The Taiwan 5G Alliance – linking together more than 40 corporations and organizations from the government, academia, and research sectors – aims to launch pre-commercial 5G networks in 2020 with the vision of building a world-class 5G industry chain in Taiwan that is at the forefront of global development and commercial deployment.
Taiwan's largest telecom provider, Chunghwa Telecom, held an inauguration ceremony on 29 January for its CHT Pilot Team of the Taiwan 5G Alliance. The group aims to accelerate the development of the 5G industry and related services in Taiwan.
The Taiwan Alliance – CHT Pilot Team was co-founded by Chunghwa, the Department of Industrial Technology of MOEA, the Industrial Technology Research Institute, and the Institute for Information Industry, under the auspices of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, and the National Communication Commission.
"Taiwan has played an important role in the global development of the information and communication industries," said Yu Cheng, Chairman and CEO of Chunghwa Telecom. "As a leading telecommunication service provider in Taiwan, we have committed ourselves to assisting Taiwan's public and private sectors to upgrade, transform, and combine diversified ICT capabilities while accelerating the innovative momentum of software and content in Taiwan. We will establish Taiwan as an important player in the global 5G value chain."
During Mobile World Congress 2017, Chunghwa signed a MoU with telecom vendors Ericsson and Nokia. Leveraging Chunghwa's in-house R&D capabilities, the company has built up its 5G trial field with collaboration from companies in the chips, end equipment, small cells, edge computing, services platform, information security, and content industries to foster the development of 5G services and to explore business opportunities overseas.
In 2018, the company will continue to actively participate in the government's national initiatives, including DIGI +, The Infrastructure Plan, The Asia Silicon Valley Development Plan, smart cities, and IoT. With the company's network infrastructure and extensive experience in providing ICT services, Chunghwa will help improve industrial competitiveness in Taiwan.

>> -10 and 15 are both a heating degree day I assume?
No. To calculate the heating degree days for a particular day, find the day's average temperature by adding the day's high and low temperatures and dividing by two. If the number is above 65, there are no heating degree days that day. If the number is less than 65, subtract it from 65 to find the number of heating degree days.


Despite being around for over two centuries, chicory coffee has gained popularity in recent years.
This hot beverage tastes like coffee but is made of roasted chicory root instead of coffee beans.
It is popular among those trying to reduce their caffeine intake and may be linked to several health benefits, including reduced inflammation, decreased blood sugar and improved digestive health.
However, chicory coffee may also cause adverse side effects.
This article takes an in-depth look at the evidence to determine if chicory coffee is good for you.
Chicory coffee is a beverage made using the roots of the chicory plant, which are roasted, ground and brewed into a coffee-like drink.
Chicory is a flowering plant in the dandelion family that is characterized by a tough, hairy stem, light purple flowers and leaves that are commonly used in salads.
Chicory coffee tastes similar to coffee but has a flavor that's often described as slightly woody and nutty.
It's used either on its own or mixed with coffee to complement its flavor.
Although the history of chicory coffee is not entirely clear, it's believed to have originated in the 1800s in France during a massive coffee shortage.
Desperate for a similar substitute, people began mixing chicory roots into their coffee to get their coffee fix.
Years later during the Civil War, it also became popular in New Orleans when the city experienced a coffee shortage after Union naval blockades cut off one of their ports.
Today, chicory coffee can still be found in many parts of the world and is often used as a caffeine-free alternative to regular coffee.
Summary Chicory coffee is a beverage made using chicory root that has been roasted, ground and brewed into coffee. It is believed to have first been used during a coffee shortage in France in the 1800s, but it remains popular around the world today.
Chicory root is the primary ingredient in chicory coffee.
To make it, raw chicory root is minced, roasted and brewed into coffee.
Although the amounts can vary, it's generally recommended to use about 2 tablespoons (about 11 grams) of ground chicory root per 1 cup (235 milliliters) of water.
Chicory root is a good source of inulin, a type of prebiotic fiber that has been linked to increased weight loss and improved gut health (, ).
It also contains some manganese and vitamin B6, two nutrients tied to brain health (, ).
Keep in mind that the amounts of these nutrients in chicory coffee are fairly low, as only a small amount of chicory root is brewed into the coffee.
Summary Chicory coffee is made of minced and roasted chicory root, which contains inulin fiber, manganese and vitamin B6.
Chicory root is a good source of fiber, which may help improve several aspects of your digestive health.
It may help improve the health of the gut microbiome, which is believed to have a strong influence on health and disease ().
This is because chicory contains inulin fiber, a type of prebiotic that promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Several studies have shown that supplementing with inulin could increase the concentration of certain strains of healthy bacteria in the colon (, ).
Studies also show that chicory may help improve bowel function and reduce constipation.
A recent study had 44 people with constipation supplement with chicory inulin. It was found to increase stool frequency and softness, compared to a placebo ().
In another study, consuming chicory decreased defecation difficulties among 25 elderly participants ().
Summary Some studies have shown that chicory could improve bowel function and reduce constipation. It also contains inulin, which could help promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Chicory root contains inulin, a type of fiber that has been shown to help manage blood sugar levels in both human and animal studies.
A recent study treated diabetic rats with chicory inulin for eight weeks. It found that it helped control blood sugar by improving the way that carbohydrates were metabolized ().
Although research on chicory inulin's effect on blood sugar is limited, several other studies have shown that inulin may have a beneficial effect on blood sugar and insulin resistance.
Insulin is the hormone that transports sugar from the blood to muscles and tissues, where it can be used as fuel. Insulin resistance, which occurs with high levels of insulin over long periods, can decrease the effectiveness of this hormone and lead to high blood sugar.
In one small study, inulin reduced insulin resistance in 40 people with prediabetes ().
In another study, supplementing with 10 grams of inulin daily helped drop fasting blood sugar levels by nearly 8.5% among 49 women with diabetes ().
However, most studies are focused on inulin rather than chicory. Further research is needed to determine the effects that chicory coffee itself may have on blood sugar.
Summary Studies show that inulin may decrease insulin resistance and lower blood sugar.
Although inflammation is a normal immune system response, chronic inflammation is thought to contribute to conditions like heart disease, diabetes and cancer ().
Some animal studies have found that chicory root may possess anti-inflammatory properties.
In one animal study, chicory root was found to reduce several markers of inflammation ().
Another study also showed that feeding piglets dried chicory root decreased levels of inflammation ().
Most of the current research is limited to animal studies. More studies are needed to determine how chicory root may affect inflammation in humans.
Summary Some animal studies have found that chicory root may reduce several markers of inflammation.
Chicory coffee can be an excellent way to help reduce your caffeine intake.
Regular coffee is made of coffee beans that are roasted, ground and brewed into coffee.
A typical cup of coffee contains about 95 milligrams of caffeine, although this can vary based on a number of factors ().
These include the kind of coffee beans used, serving size and type of coffee roast.
Consuming high amounts of caffeine has been associated with side effects like nausea, anxiety, heart palpitations, restlessness and insomnia ().
On the other hand, chicory root is naturally caffeine-free. For this reason, chicory coffee makes an excellent coffee substitute for those looking to cut down on their caffeine intake.
Some people add chicory root to hot water for a totally caffeine-free beverage, while others mix it into a small amount of regular coffee to enjoy a lower-caffeine beverage.
Summary Excess caffeine consumption has been linked to several adverse side effects. Chicory coffee is caffeine-free and can be used as an effective coffee substitute.
While chicory coffee has been associated with several health benefits, it's not for everyone.
Chicory may trigger an allergic reaction in some people, causing symptoms like pain, swelling and tingling of the mouth ().
Also, people with an allergy to ragweed or birch pollen should avoid chicory to limit negative side effects ().
If you experience any negative symptoms after consuming chicory coffee, discontinue use immediately and consult your doctor.
Furthermore, chicory coffee is not recommended for pregnant women, as chicory has been shown to trigger miscarriage and menstrual bleeding ().
Lastly, research on the safety of chicory root for women who are breastfeeding is limited. Check with your doctor before consuming it to prevent adverse symptoms.
Summary Some people may be allergic to chicory coffee. It's also not recommended for pregnant women, as it may cause miscarriage and menstrual bleeding.
Chicory coffee may be associated with several health benefits, and it can be a good substitute for coffee if you're looking to cut down on your caffeine intake.
However, there is limited research on the effects of chicory coffee, and no evidence shows that it's any better than regular coffee.
Still, if you like the taste and are able to tolerate it, feel free to add it to your diet and enjoy.

The Endless Stair is a 1987 adventure module for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.  Its associated code is CM8.

Synopsis
The Endless Stair is a Companion Set adventure that begins at an inn. The player characters hear a rumor that leads them to a wizard's tomb. A mysterious doorway opens in the rocks atop Glazar's Crag and the characters go to see what is on the other side.

The Great Mage Cheiromar is said to be buried under the Leaning Stone atop Galzar's Crag. One of his apprentices, Ulthorn, was discovered dead in an aperture of the Leaning Stone (a doorway that reportedly never existed before). The player characters must discover how Ulthorn died and the mystery of the Leaning Stone. In the process they may find the Endless Stair which seems to lead nowhere. Those who tried to climb it never lived to tell the tale.

Publication history
CM8 The Endless Stair was written by Ed Greenwood, and published by TSR in 1987 as a 32-page booklet with an outer folder. Jack Fred provided the page art.

Reception
James Wallis reviewed The Endless Stair for British magazine Adventurer #11 (June/July 1987). He commented, "It's nice to see that TSR can still churn them out. What we have here is a typical D&D Companion Set adventure. It starts (can you guess?) in an inn. Something Suspicious Happens and the party get a rumour. They follow up the rumour and find (gasp!) a Wizard's Tomb, complete with the Far Freaking Weird Powerful Magic Item, the Standard Non-Existent Page Reference and the standard TSR Glaring Inconsistency. The party follow up on a lead; they get here and, harassed by NPCs, finally get to the Endless Stair..." Wallis commented more seriously: "This adventure is competently written, apart from a couple of minor errors, and would doubtless make an enjoyable week-end's play. The trouble is that it lacks any kind of variety from standard D&D fare: it could be a first-level adventure except for the powerful NPCs, magic items and monsters. [...] It's a pity that with products of the quality of The Grand Duchy of Karameikos coming out for D&D, this is the best that can be done in the way of adventures."

Wood flooring on the other hand does not really require excessive upkeep to keep its charm; all you need to do is provide it a light sweeping daily to avoid dust from settling, and use flooring wax every other month to keep the floor smooth and shiny.
If installed correctly, there are no spaces between the wood floorboards for any dust or animal hairs to squeeze into, so you can eliminate any allergic reaction causing aspects merely by vacuuming over the surface of the flooring. If you have family pets, you will find that getting rid of their fur is easier on wood floorings instead of if you have carpets.

Inside a Restful HDB Home That's Built Not for Two, But Four
For this homeowner and her husband, transitioning into family life also meant moving from a couple's nest into a newer, more suitable house.
As a family grows, their space needs change too, and its why Christine made the conscious decision to make the move from a 4-room Sengkang BTO flat to a brand-new home: a more spacious 5-room HDB flat in the same neighbourhood – except that this time round, it's built not just for two, but for her entire family of four.
Interior Firm: Rockin Spaces
"It used to be just me and my husband back then, but because we now have kids, having sufficient space at home became a lot more important to us than before," shares the mother of two boys, one an infant and the other a toddler.
"Compared to our previous home, this flat is not just larger, it's also a better fit for us because of how its aesthetic and rooms are designed to suit the needs and habits of my family."
"Most family homes I have seen have bright colours because they're more attractive to young kids, but I still prefer a neutral palette because it's more restful," says Christine. "It's why most of the house is done up in grey, white and tans, with some wood tones for warmth."
Naturally, future proofing was an integral part of Christine's renovation plans, which she devised with the help of local interior design firm Rockin Spaces.
In particular, design decisions concerning key features of the flat – from its layout, to storage solutions, and even flooring – were made in such a way that the resulting space would be the ideal dwelling for Christine's children to grow up in, and remain so, even in their adolescence.
The floor plan of Christine's current home.
"In my previous home, we had modified the structure of the flat by demolishing some of the walls, that was how we added a walk-in wardrobe to the the master bedroom by merging it with a smaller room," says Christine.
"But this time round, we decided to forego the hacking because we wanted to leave enough bedrooms for my children in the future where they'll have their own beds, study tables, and wardrobes."
The study's sliding partition doors were designed with reeded glass, which serve as a classy accent as well as a way to let natural light into the space.
Likewise, in private spaces where personal comfort would have taken priority formerly, there is now a distinct focus on communal life.
"In our previous HDB flat, my husband had a personal mancave where he would store his LEGO collection, but for this home, we chose to have a shared study instead," says Christine.
"When the partition doors are closed, this study is an area that lets us get some much-needed privacy for work, but when we need the space, we can simply open up the doors and the whole area becomes a part of a larger living room where we're able to spend time together as a family."
Similarly, Christine's decision to shrink the kitchen's footprint in favour of a larger dining space was partly driven by a focus on family bonding.
"With a larger dining area, we're able to enjoy meals together, but the other big reason for having a smaller wet kitchen was easier maintenance," shares Christine. "An open-concept kitchen is no doubt attractive, but it's harder to maintain, especially if you cook frequently for a family because there's just more space and less time to clean; it's a lesson that I learnt the hard way at my previous home."
"Finding the right accent tiles for the en suite wasn't easy," says Christine. "We wanted them to be in monochrome to match the rest of the bathroom; it took quite a lot of hunting before we were able to find the right ones at a shop called Lian Seng Hin."
While the overall focus of the renovation was undoubtedly placed on their family's present and future needs, that not to say there isn't enough room in the house for Christine and her husband to bring their personal design ideas to life.
"I'm just happy that we were able to include a storage vanity at the front of our bed – it isn't easy going from a walk-in wardrobe to a closet, so even if it's a little, the extra storage space helps," says Christine. "On a whole, compared to the rest of the house, this bedroom was definitely designed more with my husband and I in mind – but that's only fair, because this is our home too!"

the title, "Kondylies Anamiktes me Askomadoura," is simply a descriptive phrase: it literally means "Kondylies mixed with askomandoura." The kondylies are the aforementioned musical phrases, and the askmomandoura is the Cretan bagpipe. Here's where it gets interesting – the bagpipe is not played on this piece, it is imitated by the virtuouso fiddle player, Mr. Kalogeridis. I'm sure one can pick out the sections quite easily, but the violin-as-askomandoura occurs from 1:10-1:24, and from about 2:15-2:34. He is accompanied by an uncredited guitarist and pianist – though the pianist may be legendary rebetika musician Spyros Peristeris (1900-1966), who was the recording director for Odeon at the time of this recording (ca. 1938) and often was an accompanist on various instruments.
