Five questions with singer-songwriter Andrew Martin
Mike Sion, special to the RGJ
The hanging-in-the-air name Andrew Martin came up with for his solo act was generated by a graffito the singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist spied in the dressing room during a gig with his former band, Buster Blue.
"There was a green room in Missoula, Mont., that was covered in artwork and poetry, as well as hundreds of band names," Martin, 26, said. "'Up is the' and "Down is the' was written after a very vulgar phrase on the wall, but the phrase 'Up is the down is the' stuck with me for a few years. It's also a loop: 'upisthedownistheupisthedownisthe.'"
Vocal loops and live percussion are critical to the sound of the ruminative Martin, who already is well known in Reno as having been one of the two lead vocalists/guitarists/songwriters in Buster Blue — the multi-instrumental Americana band that released four independently produced albums in the past five years.
Martin is dropping a second solo album in February, following a three-track EP he produced last February. (Hear his music at https://soundcloud.com/upisthedownisthe.) Up Is The Down Is The will headline a show Friday at Studio on Fourth, 432 E. Fourth St. On the under-bill are Sacramento-based singer-songwriter Ruby Jaye — a piano virtuoso and bluesy vocalist who also plays ukulele — and 18-year-old Reno singer-songwriter Grace Hayes, distinctive for her smoky, jazzy voice and compositions rife with deft hooks and clever words.
Doors are at 7 p.m., music at 8. Admission to the age 18-plus show is $5.
Martin spoke with the RGJ before the show.
Question: Show-promotion materials describe your sound as, "Loops and surefooted vocals interwoven into a tapestry touching on psych pop."
Answer: I wouldn't quite say psych pop, but I take that as a huge compliment if I'm being grouped in with Donovan, the Mamas & the Papas, etc. There's definitely more of a jazzy and soulful side to this project in the sound and what's written.
Q: There is a sleepy quality to your EP — pleasant melodies and nothing rushed, and introspective without being exactly sad. What inspires your songwriting?
A: I'm glad you said "nothing rushed" and you didn't say sad, because a subtle arrangement usually gets written off as sad. I like subtle or minimalist arrangements because adding unexpected instrumentation or a curveball in the form can mean so much more than having everything playing at once. I decided to take my time recording, which resulted in a relaxed-sounding recording. In the last few years my songwriting has been influenced directly by my surroundings and experiences. I enjoy and appreciate lyrics that can mean something specific to one person and something completely different to another. That interpretation is really important in songwriting.
Q: What will your setup be on stage?
A: A small percussion setup (floor tom, hi-hat, bucket), a Telecaster (guitar) running through a Fender Deluxe (amplifier), and a looping pedal running through a small mixing board.
Q: What will you be playing?
A: All originals, maybe a cover or two.
Q: Details on your upcoming album?
A: It will be called "Mantra." It is made up of nine original compositions. It will be released digitally and physically on Feb. 28.

Have you ever seen a beach with black sand? Because of constant volcanic activity, you'll find white sands and black sands on the island of Hawaii. Located on the southeastern Kau coast, Punaluu Black Sand Beach is one of the most famous black sand beaches in Hawaii.
With this ultimate fantasy tropical vacation, which combines white sand beaches of Bora Bora, black sand of Tahiti island and unique pink sand beaches of Tikehau you are in for a special treat and once in a lifetime experience.
Again, Moorea's resorts have claimed some stellar white- and black-sand strands. Yet public beaches are widely accessible and one of the most popular is half-mile-long Opunohu, which attracts picnicking local families on weekends.
. 360 Video: 35—Punalu'u Black Sand Beach The island of Hawaii was built up from the ocean floor by mostly basaltic lava flows. Basalt is a dark black rock, which is weathered and deposited as black sand beaches.
One of the more striking pink-hued shorelines in the world, Tangsi Beach on Lombok island (just east of Bali) in Indonesia is a sight to behold. This beach gets its pink coloring thanks to the reddish-pink coral fragments that wash ashore from the sea and get mixed in with the sand.
By-product black sand from inland placering is often richer than beach sand. But generally, black sand, unless a concentrate, is not worth much effort. In any case, it is worth spending a dollar or two to have an assay made for gold of a carefully taken sample, not selected sand.
Black sands (mostly iron) can be and usually is an indicator of gold, but not always. Rule of thumb is you will generally find black sand with gold, but not always gold with black sand. However if you are finding gold and getting black sands with it, it would be worthwhile to try some and see what happens.
The sand, rocks and gravels in the placer deposits we work have a density of about 2.5 to 3. Gold on the other hand, has a density of 19.3 when pure.
Black sand comes from eroded volcanic material such as lava, basalt rocks, and other dark-colored rocks and minerals, and is typically found on beaches near volcanic activity. Black-sand beaches are common in Hawaii, the Canary Islands, and the Aleutians.
"It's well used by the local community for swimming, and it's on state trust land" about three miles downstream from the U
-Canadian border, he said. Black Sand Beach also contains high levels of zinc and copper, both of which are toxic to aquatic insects, he said.
The innate richness of volcanic black sand makes it an excellent ingredient for skin purifying, detoxifying, anti-stress and protective properties against harmful external agents, increasing the natural defense of the skin.
Anita, a 30-year-old crime commissioner, has to return to her homeland where she escaped from 14 years earlier. When the body of a young woman is found in the area, everything turns upside down. Detective Inspector Anita returns to her hometown after being away for 15 years.
The sand is compositionally immature meaning that it is very vulnerable to weathering and breaks down easily. Something to think about- make sure you wear shoes on the black sand beaches because they are considerably hotter than white sand beaches.
Black sand is sand that is black in color. One type of black sand is a heavy, glossy, partly magnetic mixture of usually fine sands containing minerals such as magnetite, found as part of a placer deposit. Another type of black sand, found on beaches near a volcano, consists of tiny fragments of basalt.
Mix a baking soda paste or select a commercial exfoliant. Gently scrub your skin with the exfoliant, adding more product as needed until all traces of the tar are gone. Thoroughly wash the affected area with soap and water. Apply a bandage if needed to any raw or tender spots.
There are around 20 black sand beaches in the world. Their rarity is a direct result of their region, some of which have a high volume of Magnetite on the surface. Regular beaches, with gold sands, can pretty much be found just about anywhere.
Not usually magnetic in and of itself, black sand can and will become magnetized in the presence of another magnet.
Harbour Island is most renowned for its beautiful Pink Sand Beach, located along its eastern Atlantic Ocean side. It almost seems endless, stretching for some three plus miles, and it is 50 to 100 feet wide.

Punalu'u Beach, Hawaii, United States Located on Hawaii's Big Island, Punalu'u Beach is frequented by sunbathers — and endangered turtles and seals. This black-sand beach gets its dark hue from years of volcanic activity that has laced its sand with lava fragments.
Found in Hawaii, Iceland, the Canary Islands and other destinations around the world, black sand beaches intrigue travelers with their mystery and beauty. These beaches form over time by the erosion of volcanic minerals and lava fragments combined with the ebb and flow of the ocean's tide.
Several Caribbean islands have black sand beaches, particularly many of the volcanic islands in the Lesser Antilles, including Montserrat, St. Kitts, Nevis, Dominica, St. Lucia and Grenada.

That voice. That hair. Stevie Nicks was the quintessential 80s girl if there ever was one and she remains as vital today as she was during her heyday (though there's a little less drama now).
Rolling Stone Magazine dubbed Nicks the reigning queen of rock and roll and the people agree. Fans of hers are loving Nicks' current tour, 24 Karat Gold. Touring together with the Pretenders, their schedule included 27 venues and dates.
December marks the last month of dates for this Fall tour as Nicks continues to perform through the end of New Years across the United States.
Nicks rose to success overnight after recording with Fleetwood Mac and would go on to a successful solo career as well. Though she went through long bouts having problems with various substances, she eventually sought out drug free treatment to overcome her battles. Upon completing rehab, Nicks said that she would never perform again. However, she did come back to the stage and is still performing, producing and singing to this day.

Computation is playing an increasingly central role in research. Journals, funders, and other researchers are calling for published research to include associated data and code. But what are the best practices and tools for sharing code and data? This workshop will explore the current landscape of reproducibility and introduce steps to prepare research code and data for computationally reproducible publication. The workshop starts with an analysis of computational reproducibility and its relevance to researchers, followed by guided work with code and data: preparing code for reuse, documentation, and submitting their code and data to share. We will finish with an in-depth demonstration of Code Ocean.
Audience: Active researchers who use code in their research and wish to share it, those who plan to do research using code, or those who support researchers. Participants should bring a laptop to fully participate.
Explore approaches to computational reproducibility and their relevance to researchers.
Learn best practices for documentation and sharing.
Learn how to submit your code and data for publishing using Code Ocean.
This free workshop is open to the Princeton community.

Q: Boundary links and ribbon links. This question is about the relation between the notions of boundary link and ribbon link.
For the definition of ribbon link see: ribbon links - counterexamples.
An n-component link $L=L_1\cup\dots\cup L_n$ is said to be a boundary link if there exists an orientable surface  consisting of n disjoint components $S=S_1\cup\dots\cup S_n$ such that
for each $i\leq n$ we have $\partial S_i=L_i$.
There exists boundary links which are not ribbon and ribbon links which are not boundary (see Rolfsen book chapter 5 pag. 140)
It can be shown that every pure ribbon link is a boundary link. (A ribbon link is said to be pure if every ribbon singularity involves only one disc.)
Now my problem is: when is a boundary link ribbon? Clearly every component of such a link must be a ribbon knot so my question is:

*

*$\textbf{Is every boundary link with ribbon components a ribbon link?}$

Assume the answer to the previous question is yes. Then the following question
makes sense:

*

*$\textbf{Is it true that a link is purely ribbon iff it is a boundary link}$
$\textbf{ with ribbon components?}$

A: The answer to your first question is no. There are non-ribbon boundary links whose components are unknotted! Indeed the Bing double of a knot is a boundary link with unknotted components, but it has recently been proven by several authors that the Bing double of the figure-8 knot is not slice (hence not ribbon.) See for example this paper.
Edit: The Bing double of the trefoil is also not slice, which is a less subtle calculation using the signature.

Q: How do I disable div animations onclick() using jQuery? I have a div which animates as soon as page loads. Then I have a button. After one clicks on this button I want to make a new div and animate it as it animated previous, but onclick() the first div also changes it's position. How should I do it to somehow disable animate effect on div which already animated.

<button id="button">spawn new car</button>

$(document).ready(function() {
    var car = $('.car');
    car.animate({left:"+=367px"}, 2000);
    car.animate({top:"-=247px"}, 2000);

    $("#button").click(function () {
        $(".wrapper").append('

');
        var car = $('.car');
        car.animate({left:"+=367px"}, 2000);
        car.animate({top:"-=247px"}, 2000);
    });
});

A: As you said :

"but onclick() the first div also changes it's position"

Reason is you are assigning animate to class car and first div too has a class car thats the reason it changing position.
Solution will be give dynamic and distinct class or id
Random ID you can give like :
$("#button").click(function () {
        var id=Math.floor(Math.random() * 100) + 1;
        $(".wrapper").append('

');
        var car = $(".car_"+id+"");
        car.animate({left:"+=367px"}, 2000);
        car.animate({top:"-=247px"}, 2000);
    });

A: Following way you can move only newly added div.
Add one temporary move class when you add and remove it after animation.

$(document).ready(function() {
    var car = $('.car');
    car.animate({left:"+=367px"}, 2000);
    car.animate({top:"-=247px"}, 2000);

    $("#button").click(function () {
        $(".wrapper").append('
car
');
        var car = $('.move');
        car.animate({left:"+=367px"}, 2000);
        car.animate({top:"-=247px"}, 2000);
        $(".car").removeClass('move');
    });
});
.car{
  position:absolute;
  left:0;
  top:0;
}

.wrapper{
  position:relative;
  top:0;
  left:0;
  width:100%;

}

car

<button id="button">spawn new car</button>

Working Fiddle

A: It's animating because this new div is being created and pushing it further down the page. You could use an absolute positioning in order to hold it in place. But that might make the page look a bit rigid. I'd just add a smoothing effect to the buttons move.

A: Try this
$(document).ready(function() {
var car = $('.car');
car.animate({left:"+=367px"}, 2000);
car.animate({top:"-=247px"}, 2000);

$("#button").click(function () {
    $(".wrapper .car").removeClass('car');
    $(".wrapper").append('

');
    var car = $('.car');
    car.animate({left:"+=367px"}, 2000);
    car.animate({top:"-=247px"}, 2000);
});
});

This will remove car class from current div and adds new div with car class

A: Try this.. JSFIDDLE
 $(document).ready(function() {
        var car = $('.car');
        car.animate({left:367, top:0}, 2000);

        $("#button").click(function () {
            $(".wrapper").append('

');
            var car = $('.car');
            car.animate({left:367, top:-1}, 2000);
        });
    });

    .car{
        border:1px #000 solid;
        height:150px;
        width:150px;
        position:relative;
    }

NativeScript Vs React Native For Cross-Platform App Development
In the past, the development of cross-platform applications was a taxing task for most developers.
Post author By webuters
2 Comments on NativeScript Vs React Native For Cross-Platform App Development
In the past, the development of cross-platform applications was a taxing task for most developers. With limited choices available until a couple of decades ago, they had to either remain content with the limited performance or compromise with user experience.
But the introduction to up-to-date frameworks like NativeScript and Real Native has transformed the method of cross-platform app development. It has left businesses to only deal with the challenge of drawing the NativeScript vs React Native to choose the best option.
It has pulled out contemporary developers from the horns of a dilemma involving the choice between shorter development timeframes and lower costs. However, the problem of choice still remains intact.
What is NativeScript? Is it better than React Native? If yes, then in What Ways?
Most app development professionals and business owners linked to cross-platform app development companies seek an answer to these questions.
In this post, we will dig deeper into the concept of NativeScript and weigh up its pros and cons with that of React Native to help you make an informed choice.
What is NativeScript?
NativeScript is a commonly used open-source JavaScript framework for the development of native applications for mobile devices featuring Android and iOS platforms.
Among other things, the chief benefit of NativeScript is that it saves both time and hassle. This becomes possible due to its ability to operate with a single codebase. Also, it enables developers to access native APIs of iOS and Android as well as their user interface and rendering engines.
This JavaScript enabled framework eliminates the need to work on two distinct projects for building native applications. By doing so, it boosts the productivity of developers in building native applications with the use of minimum time and effort. NativeScript CLI plays a key role in achieving this objective.
Wondering what is NativeScript CLI? We have it covered for you in detail in the next section.
What is NativeScript CLI?
The cost factor and anonymity are the two challenging prospects for the development of Android and iOS applications. NativeScript command-line interface provides a solution to it. NativeScript CLI works in conjunction with a text editor or an IDE to help a developer work locally in building a native iOS or Android app.
Once it is properly set up, it works in a streamlined manner to accomplish this task without the installation of either the Android or iOS operating system. The Quick Setup and the Full Setup are the two components that enable the interface to perform this task with finesse.
NativeScript CLI works in the following ways:
• The Quick Setup element enables developers to build cross-platform apps without the installation of the dependencies concerning both the platforms. It works perfectly at the fundamental level on a local machine.
• The Full Setup makes it a breeze for a professional to install the dependencies for iOS as well as Android in a straightforward way. Using this component, a developer can compile the dependencies for both the platforms locally. This eventually lends a helping hand to the creation of compatible applications with Google Play and the App Store.
One can set up both by performing a few simple steps in quick time. Other than this, there are also some other NativeScript benefits worth consideration. These are discussed below.
NativeScript Benefits
One of the considerable merits of using writing applications in NativeScript is that it is cost-effective. Most companies bank on its positives to find a long-term solution to bring out native applications without putting stress on the finances.
Here are some ways in which the application of NativeScript for app development gives a competitive edge to firms that generate cross-platform apps:
• It cuts down the expenditure involved in the generation of software that can run on both Android and iOS platforms.
• It gives app development professionals the ability to reuse the codes conveniently.
• By using it, app development professionals get a break from the requirement to learn the operation of new tools.
• The use of NativeScript offers a viable option to control the performance of API simplistically.
• NativeScript proves to be a valuable asset in terms of purchase and validations of apps for multiple devices.
• Developers of NativeScript apps can troubleshoot as well as release the updates of their apps from time to time. Also, they can work on their application software to release newer versions.
• On the part of companies, NativeScript simplifies the job of staffing teams.
Besides, NS helps bypass the need for investing time and effort in the testing or training phase. These NativeScript advantages make NS the tool for cross-platform app development in future.
Differences between NativeScript and React Native
Many experts believe React Native is the only alternative to NativeScript. This belief stems from the fact that both the tools are equipped with contemporary functionalities to meet the demands of app development firms.
It may not be easy to tell straight away as to which of the two JavaScript frameworks carries more weight in contrast to the other. However, a comparison between the two based on the pros and cons of both can help in finding an answer to this question.
• Programming Language: NativeScript uses TypeScript and Angular, whereas React Native makes use of JSX for native app development. While the former works by dividing the components, the latter operates by creating a single file.
• Performance: Both frameworks contribute to native. But performance-wise React Native is much faster than NativeScript due to the mechanism of its operation.
• Third-party libraries: Both NativeScript and React Native boast an impressive array of third-party libraries. But NativeScript has more of such libraries compared to that of React Native.
• Usability: The programming codes of NativeScript and React Native can be used across various platforms. In this regard, both are on par with one another.
Though the NativeScript vs React Native comparison outlines the differences between both the frameworks, it does not indicate a clear winner. Notwithstanding the benefits and drawbacks of these frameworks, the usefulness of each depends on the specific demands of a mobile app solution project. Though React Native surges ahead in terms of popularity, NativeScript stands next to it in terms of performance.

An eclectic mix of more than 15,000 beer lovers, music fans and supporters of sustainable living annually come together the last weekend of June to "Drink Organic, Save the Planet, One Beer at a Time" at the North American Organic Brewers Festival. The 9th annual event will take place June 27th through 30th at Overlook Park in North Portland. Event hours are Noon to 9pm Thursday through Saturday and Noon to 5pm Sunday. Admission into the event is free.
The purchase of a $6 reusable, compostable cornstarch cup is required for tasting beer, as are tokens, which sell for $1 apiece. A full cup of beer or cider costs four tokens and a four-ounce taste costs one token; select beers cost double tokens. Patrons receive a $1 discount toward the tasting glass with a validated Tri-Met ticket, a ticket from the Hopworks Bike Corral or three cans of food for the Oregon Food Bank (limit one discount per person). The NAOBF donates a portion of proceeds to the Overlook Neighborhood Association and the Oregon Food Bank. Designed to raise awareness about organic beer and sustainable living, the NAOBF typically serves up more than 50 organic beers and ciders from 40 different breweries. There's also live local music, organic food, sustainability-oriented vendors and non-profits, a soda garden with complimentary Crater Lake Root Beer for minors and designated drivers, and a children's area with face painting and activities. The NAOBF is a family friendly event, and minors are welcome with parents.


Mark Wigley and Philip Johnson curated the 1988 Museum of Modern Art exhibition Deconstructivist architecture, which crystallized the movement, and brought fame and notoriety to its key practitioners. The architects presented at the exhibition were Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Coop Himmelblau, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, and Bernard Tschumi. Mark Wigley wrote the accompanying essay and tried to show a common thread among the various architects whose work was usually more noted for their differences.
The projects in this exhibition mark a different sensibility, one in which the dream of pure form has been disturbed.
It is the ability to disturb our thinking about form that makes these projects deconstructive.
The show examines an episode, a point of intersection between several architects where each constructs an unsettling building by exploiting the hidden potential of modernism.

Madison(I)
Additional Crew
Small (5'3") but fiery, sexy and shapely raven-haired brunette spitfire Madison Stone was born on Janury 12, 1965 in Miami, Florida. She first became active in adult cinema in the late 1980s and wound up appearing in well over 100 explicit hardcore movies. Madison was notable for sporting a very striking and distinctive raw'n'punky look in her day: Besides having numerous tattoos, she also had multiple piercings in her nose, tongue and cleavage (the Madison piercing, a body piercing at the front of the neck, was named after her because she was the first person to be publicly associated with it). She's a member of the AVN Hall of Fame and was voted the XRCO Favorite Female in 1993. Madison made occasional forays into more "legitimate" R-rated low-budget mainstream fare: She has a memorably saucy small part as an enticing stripper in the superior erotic thriller Naked Obsession (1990) and a more substantial leading role as the brassy Roxanne in Fred Olen Ray's enjoyably lowbrow horror comedy outing Evil Toons (1992). After retiring from the porn business Madison went on to become a singer in the bands Kiss The Monkey and Four Ugly Women. Moreover, Stone has been associated with the tattoo industry since the early 1990s and went on to run her own tattoo parlor called the Madison Tattoo Shoppe in North Hollywood, California before eventually moving and settling down in Belize.

The efforts to improve the management of forage storage will result in a good return to producer's investment.
Hay, haylage, or silage preservatives will reduce storage losses from molds, bacteria, and fungi, especially when the forage is harvested at higher moisture levels. Limited microbial growth occurs in dry hay, generates a small amount of heat, and usually raises temperatures very slightly.
Excessive microbial growth can raise temperatures to 130 to 150 degrees F, increasing dry matter loss and producing Maillard reactions that reduce dry matter and crude protein digestibility (Collins and Owens, 2002). Effective preservatives to inhibit microbial growth or artificial drying to remove excess moisture help to avoid quality and yield loss in moist hay (Collins and Owens, 2002). Effective hay preservatives include (1) organic acids, (2) buffered acids, (3) ammonia sources (i.e. anhydrous ammonia or urea), (4) inoculants, and (5) enzymes.
Organic acids (propionic and acetic acids): will inhibit mold growth and will help to reduce heating and dustiness in hay. Their effectiveness in hay depends on the application rate of active ingredients and moisture content. Application rates near 10 lb/ton are needed for hay with 20-25 percent moisture, while 20 lb/ton are needed for wetter hay with 25-30 percent moisture. Some issues with the use of organic acids are related to late season mold growth. Mold inhibition of acid products tends to decrease after long periods of hay storage. The acid eventually dissipates during storage while the moisture remains in the hay.
Buffered acids (Ammonium propionate and propionic acid): are effective in control heating in moist hay but corrosiveness, high acidity, and difficult working conditions has limited their use.
Ammonia sources (Anhydrous ammonia or urea): effective reducing microbial growth in moist hay and can improve fiber digestibility by acting on lignin-carbohydrate bond in cell walls. However, it is important to recommend ammoniating low quality roughage for forages with less than 5 percent crude protein and 45 percent of total digestible nutrients (TDN). Ammoniating higher quality forage can cause toxic compounds to be formed. In terms of livestock component, ammonia increases non-protein N, which can help to meet the protein needs for a dairy or beef cattle. Anhydrous ammonia is an effective preservative for hay containing less than 30 percent moisture. As for urea, it is safer to handle than anhydrous ammonia and has similar benefits for storage and fiber digestibility. Relatively large amounts (5-7 percent of estimated bale weight) of urea applied during baling can be effective up to 30 percent moisture. However, treated hay must be covered or processed with a bale wrapper.
Inoculants: bacterial inoculants (i.e. lactic acid) are being promoted as an alternative to chemicals for improving hay preservation. How does it work? Bacteria is added to water and sprayed on hay as it is baled. The bacteria multiply and grow during the early stages of forage preservation (after baling) and help to preserve the hay. These products can be used in hay with moisture content of 25 percent moisture. Interestingly, not a lot of research has been done in order to examine their effects in large rectangular bales over a range of moisture contents. Research suggests that lower moisture content may be necessary to be effective for safe storage.
Enzymes (cellulose, amylose, and lactobacillus): These enzymes promote plant cell breakdown and render the cellulose and starch more accessible to desirable acid-producing bacteria.

The Speech-evoked Auditory Brainstem Response in Adults: An Objective Test for the Diagnosis of Auditory Processing Disorders
Ajiboye, Francis; (2018) The Speech-evoked Auditory Brainstem Response in Adults: An Objective Test for the Diagnosis of Auditory Processing Disorders. Doctoral thesis (Ph.D), UCL (University College London).
INTRODUCTION: Confidence in the reliability and validity of a diagnosis of APD is currently low among clinical and professional groups, principally due to the lack of a gold standard test sensitive to APD, differences in accepted diagnostic criteria and considerable variability in clinical test batteries implemented. Listening difficulties associated with APD are also not exclusive to the disorder, and are frequently observed in individuals with alternative disorders such as specific language impairment, specific reading impairment, and attention deficit disorder. The research undertaken in this thesis attempts to identify subjective and objective measures that differentiate adults diagnosed with clinical-APD from oto-neurologically normal adults with no perceived hearing difficulties using a popular hearing inventory, three speech in-noise tests and the speech-evoked auditory brainstem response test. The Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ), presents a rich array of communication environments that reflect the three-dimensional dynamic auditory world humans live in. It comprises three hearing subscales - speech intelligibility, spatial awareness and other qualities of hearing. The three speech-in-noise tests - Who Is Right, the Children's Coordinate Response Measure with competing male-talker (CCRM1) and the Children's Coordinate Response Measure with competing speech-shaped noise (CCRM2) assess different aspects of auditory cognition, (i.e., low level auditory processing and auditory attention). In all three speech tests the target signal and competing noise were presented simultaneously and dichotically via headphones, and an automatic adaptive approach was used to adjust the signal-to-noise ratio. The speech-ABR was elicited under monaural and binaural stimulation, with a 40ms /da/ consonantvowel syllable. Several measures can be used to characterise the speech-ABR onset response and frequency following response (FFR) including response timings, responses amplitudes, and stimulus versus response waveform correlation coefficients. METHODOLOGY: Normative data were derived for all three subscales of the SSQ Hearing Scale, for the three behavioural speech tests, and the speech-ABR, following the collection and analysis of data obtained from 52 adults with normal hearing and no reported listening difficulties. Research data for the same outcome measures were obtained from a clinical-APD group (n=21) and two smaller APD subgroups (a developmental-APD group comprising 10 subjects and an acquired- APD group consisting of 8 subjects). SUMMARY OF RESEARCH FINDINGS: SSQ self-reported hearing ability scores were significantly worse for the clinical-APD group (n=21) compared with the normal hearing control group (n=52) for the 'speech intelligibility' and 'other qualities of hearing' subscales at the 0.01 alpha level. Statistically significant group differences were also observed for CCRM1 and Who Is Right tasks - poorer scores were apparent for the clinical-APD group for both tests, providing some evidence for deficits in auditory attention and auditory processing in these subjects. No statistically significant group differences were observed for all speech-ABR response timings or key features of the FFR. Independent Sample T-tests did suggest that statistically significant group differences were apparent for V-A amplitude, V-A slope and V-A area; however these differences may be attributed to age and gender distribution differences between the two groups. 75% of the acquired-APD subjects failed the CCRM1 task (a test of auditory attention), compared with 30% of the developmental-APD group. 50% of the acquired-APD subjects failed the Who Is Right task (a test of auditory processing) compared with 10% of the developmental- APD group; and 50% of the acquired -APD group failed the CCRM2 task (a test of attentional allocation and/or auditory processing) compared with 10% of the developmental-APD group. Findings for the speech-ABR also revealed evidence for low level central auditory nervous system anomalies for both APD subgroups. Abnormalities in the speech-ABR FFR were observed in 30% of developmental-APD subjects compared with 62.5% of acquired-APD subjects; whilst mild anomalies were present in 20% of developmental-APD subjects compared with 37.5% of acquired-APD subjects for the onset response. Altogether these results provide evidence for the deficits in auditory cognition for both APD-groups. Although this test battery demonstrates low sensitivity overall for the developmental-APD group, it does show better sensitivity for the acquired-APD subjects who exhibit more severe deficits in auditory cognition.

Q: Refactor many HasColumnAnnotation and IndexAnnotation usages in my schema definition I have many blocks of code that look like the following:
modelBuilder
    .Entity<Foo>()
    .Property(t => t.X)
    .IsRequired()
    .HasMaxLength(60)
    .HasColumnAnnotation(IndexAnnotation.AnnotationName, new IndexAnnotation(new IndexAttribute("IX_X_Y", 1) { IsUnique = true }));

modelBuilder
    .Entity<Foo>()
    .Property(t => t.Y)
    .IsRequired()
    .HasColumnAnnotation(IndexAnnotation.AnnotationName, new IndexAnnotation(new IndexAttribute("IX_X_Y", 2) { IsUnique = true }));

This block is telling EF, through fluent API, to create a unique index with columns X and Y together, on table Foo.
Another block of code just like that would be this, with columns R and S on table Bar:
modelBuilder
    .Entity<Bar>()
    .Property(t => t.R)
    .IsRequired()
    .HasMaxLength(60)
    .HasColumnAnnotation(IndexAnnotation.AnnotationName, new IndexAnnotation(new IndexAttribute("IX_R_S", 1) { IsUnique = true }));

modelBuilder
    .Entity<Bar>()
    .Property(t => t.S)
    .IsRequired()
    .HasColumnAnnotation(IndexAnnotation.AnnotationName, new IndexAnnotation(new IndexAttribute("IX_R_S", 2) { IsUnique = true }));

I want to refactor this, so that it ends up looking something like:
CreateCompositeUnique<Foo>(modelBuilder, "IX_X_Y", t => new {t.X, t.Y});
CreateCompositeUnique<Bar>(modelBuilder, "IX_R_S", t => new {t.R, t.S});

I was thinking of something like this:
private void CreateCompositeUnique<T>(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder, string indexName, List<Expression<Func<T, byte[]>>> properties)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < properties.Count; i++)
    {
        modelBuilder
        .Entity<typeof(T)>()
        .Property(properties[i])
        .IsRequired()
        .HasMaxLength(60)  // --only when propery is string
        .HasColumnAnnotation(IndexAnnotation.AnnotationName, new IndexAnnotation(new IndexAttribute(indexName, i) { IsUnique = true }));
    }
}

But I have some questions:

*

*Is this a good idea?

*How do I know if the property is string?

*What is the best way to pass the parameters?

*How do I access "T"? I'm getting a compile error at .Entity<typeof(T)>

A: Following Gert Arnold's advice, I created a extension method. Actually they are two extension methods (why? autoexplicative, see code comments)
public static class ExtensionMethods
{
    public static StringPropertyConfiguration HasIndex(this StringPropertyConfiguration config, string indexName, int i)
    {
        return config.HasColumnAnnotation(IndexAnnotation.AnnotationName, new IndexAnnotation((new IndexAttribute(indexName, i) { IsUnique = true })));
    }

    public static PrimitivePropertyConfiguration HasIndex(this PrimitivePropertyConfiguration config, string indexName, int i)
    {
        return config.HasColumnAnnotation(IndexAnnotation.AnnotationName, new IndexAnnotation((new IndexAttribute(indexName, i) { IsUnique = true })));
    }
}

And usage is like this:
modelBuilder
    .Entity<Foo>()
    .Property(t => t.X)
    .IsRequired()
    .HasMaxLength(60)
    .HasIndex("IX_X_Y", 1); // <-- here (X is string)

modelBuilder
    .Entity<Foo>()
    .Property(t => t.Y)
    .IsRequired()
    .HasIndex("IX_X_Y", 2); // <-- and here (Y is a primitive)

The 100th anniversary of the Armistice ending the First World War was commemorated with Remembrance Day services in Kenora and at St. Louis School in Keewatin on Sunday, Nov. 11 hosted by Royal Canadian Legion Kenora Branch 12.
Branch 12 president Jerry Lava welcomed the capacity audience assembled at Kenora legion hall. He noted that in addition to the traditional service the centennial anniversary Remembrance Day would also be observed with two special commemorative events; Branch 12 Pastor Cathy Giroux led volunteers in placing Canadian flags on the graves of the 582 First and Second World War veterans interred at Lake of the Woods Cemetery following the morning service. Later in the afternoon, Kenora joined communities across Canada in a national celebration by ringing bells at local churches 100 times, replicating the victory celebration that took place in England a century ago to herald the end of hostilities and the return of peace.
Special guest speaker Kenora MP Bob Nault recalled that the 100th Remembrance Day also commemorates the anniversary of the last 100 days of the First World War when Canada emerged as a nation in its own right. He noted from Aug. 8, to Nov. 11, 1918, 30 Canadian and Newfoundland soldiers were awarded the Victoria Cross, representing one-third of all Victoria Cross medals awarded for valour in our country's military history.
Nault said the recent renaming of Kenora Armoury in honour of Pvt. David Keegic Armoury of Shoal Lake First Nation #39 is not only a fitting tribute one of Canada's most highly decorated soldiers of the First World War but also commemorates First Nation, Métis and Inuit service men and women who continue to serve Canada at home and overseas.
Nault concluded his comments saying the importance of observing Remembrance Day ensures the sacrifice of those who serve is never forgotten.
"Keep the fallen in mind and their friends and family in your hearts as their sacrifice has kept our country free," he said. "Today Canadians remember and we always will… democracy is fragile."
Following the formal program, the gathering adjourned outside where 53 wreaths were placed at the legion cairn in memory of those who served by representatives of groups, businesses and organizations.

Neural networks with synaptic weights constructed according to the weighted Hebb rule are studied in the presence of noise (finite temperature), when the number of stored patterns is finite. Although for arbitrary weights not all of the stored patterns are global minima, there exists a temperature range in which only the stored patterns are minima of the free energy. In particular, a detailed analysis reveals that in the presence of a single extra pattern stored with an appropriate weight in…

Netflix's 'Klaus' Spreads Animated Holiday Cheer at Annecy
Ramin Zahed
The Weinstein Company and Canada's Rainmaker Entertainment announced today that the voice cast of their 2012 animated movie Escape from Planet Earth will include Brendan Fraser, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Alba, Rob Corddry, James Gandolfini and Craig Robinson. The 3-D CG-animated movie is directed by Cal Brunker, best known for his work on Despicable Me, 9 and Horton Hears a Who!
Donna Gigliotti, TWC's president of production and Catherine Winder, president and exec producer at Rainmaker are both listed as the film's producers as well as Rainmaker's Luke Carroll. TWC co-chairs Bob and Harvey Weinstein are the pic's exec producers.
The family film, which is written by Cal Brunker and Bob Barlen based on an original screenplay by Tony Leech and Cory Edwards, is set on the planet Baab, where admired astronaut Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser) is a national hero to the blue alien population. A master of daring rescues, Scorch pulls off astonishing feats with the quiet aid of his nerdy, by-the-rules brother, Gary (Rob Corddry), head of mission control at BASA.
When BASA's no-nonsense chief Lena (Jessica Alba) informs the brothers of an SOS from a notoriously dangerous planet, Scorch rejects Gary's warnings and bounds off for yet another exciting mission. But when Scorch finds himself caught in a fiendish trap set by the evil Shanker (James Gandolfini), it's up to scrawny, risk-adverse Gary to do the real rescuing. As the interplanetary stakes rise to new heights, Gary is left to save his brother, his planet, his beloved wife Kira (Sarah Jessica Parker) and their adventure-hungry son Kip.

Professional Fundraiser Wants To Keep Home Addresses Private
Anne Wallestad
Rejection of a professional fund-raising counsel registration renewal has sparked a battle between an attorney and the Secretary of State of North Carolina regarding the confidential nature of where a fundraiser resides, and the ability to safely raise money for sometimes controversial causes.
The rejection came about because of a law requiring fundraising counsel to provide their home address on registration forms. Such a law might prove to be a problem in the nonprofit sector, and North Carolina is not the only state that has such a mandate.
Mark Fitzgibbons, president of corporate and legal affairs at American Target Advertising, Inc. in Manassas, Va., is engaged in an battle of letters and press releases with Elaine F. Marshall, the Secretary of State of North Carolina, regarding the requirement that fundraising counsel give their residence address, as well as a business address, on initial registration and renewal forms.
Most states require a business address, and Fitzgibbons has no problem with that, but North Carolina is one of 10 states requiring fundraising counsel or fundraising consultants to provide a home address on or attached to registration forms.
Fitzgibbons said he believes that the situation can be indirectly related to a case decided in 1958 by the U.S. Supreme Court, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People v. Alabama, 357 U.S. 449. That case, which was settled only after a protracted battle through state and federal courts, overturned a requirement that the NAACP submit a membership list to the state of Alabama before it could set up offices in the state. The Supreme Court ruled that the requirement was simply an intimidation tactic to prevent the organization from operating in the state.
Fitzgibbons noted the difference in the two situations, in that the Alabama case came about because of a subpoena and in North Carolina it is a state law. Not only is the legal requirement unnecessary, Fitzgibbons maintained, but it also poses a danger, such as to individuals fleeing abusive relationships and needing to keep their whereabouts a secret. He cited various sources about protection of individuals seeking shelter, but he said that he is not aware of any crime victim who works as a fundraising counsel and has had to disclose a residence.
Fitzgibbons considers this aspect of the situation to be important because Marshall recently won the Democratic primary to challenge Republican incumbent Richard Burr for the U.S. Senate seat from North Carolina. Marshall has made protecting abused individuals one of the hallmarks of her campaign. That particular seat, once held by former presidential and vice presidential candidate John Edwards, has been especially harsh on incumbents, with Sam Ervin of Watergate fame being the last to gain re-election, in 1968.
Liz Proctor, public information officer for the North Carolina Secretary of State, said that the requirement is a state law, part of North Carolina General Statute 131F, the Solicitation of Contributions statute, meaning it would take the legislature, which imposed it in the first place, to remove it. The Secretary of State cannot simply revoke it.
Further, Proctor said, the state Attorney General's office is the home of the information, and there is a shield law in place, the Address Confidentiality Program. Under that, people can request that their addresses be kept from the public. Anyone wanting to contact shielded fundraisers at home would write care of the Attorney General's office, which would then forward the correspondence to the fundraiser."We've had one person who has ever complained, out of hundreds who have filed," Proctor said. Fitzgibbons is that one person, she said.
When asked about the NAACP vs. Alabama case, Proctor said she saw no parallel at all between a requirement that was imposed to prevent civil rights activity and one that is meant to help potential donors keep informed about the organizations that are soliciting them for money.
Fitzgibbons acknowledged the address requirement is a state law that the Secretary of State simply can't ignore, but he said Marshall should be using the influence of her office to get the law changed. He said no one else complains because they fear retribution.
He also said the shield law makes no difference, first because people are probably unaware of it, and second because the victim of a crime or a battered spouse should not have to give out residence information. Also, people who work for controversial nonprofits are often targeted for harassment or intimidation.
Finally, Fitzgibbons said that even if the information must be collected, it goes beyond the summary information mandated by the statute and that Marshall is exceeding her authority by posting the information online.
"It is our department's practice to make such public records available, and by law they are public records and must be available," Proctor said. "Our sole motivation is that we provide information to help the giving public make informed decisions."
In addition to North Carolina, the states of Alabama, Alaska, California, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Kentucky, New Jersey and Pennsylvania require home addresses on the registration forms for either fundraising counsel or fundraising consultants. Georgia requires it of paid solicitor agents. Louisiana requires it of professional solicitors, and Missouri requires it of professional fundraisers.
Fitzgibbons said he has contacted other states about their requirement but has not pursued it with them because he has found them willing to accept a business address on registration forms.
Fitzgibbons cited the June 24, 2010 United States Supreme Court opinion in Doe v. Reed, Washington Secretary of State, following a long line of precedent that disclosure statutes are subject to exacting scrutiny, and there must be a substantial relation between any disclosure requirement and an important government interest. But even in that case, he said, the state official did not publish on the Internet residential addresses gathered for ballot initiatives.
Karl Emerson, an attorney with Montgomery, McCracken, Walker and Rhoads, LLP in Philadelphia, and formerly the director of the Pennsylvania Bureau of Charities, said he did not see any big deal with the North Carolina law.
"I assume it's in the event if a state needed to get in touch with someone there would be an alternate address," Emerson said, adding that such laws were passed before the arrival or widespread availability of the Internet.
Emerson works with national charity registrations, adding that he deals with many clients in Maryland and Mississippi, states that require alternate business address but not home addresses.Emerson said if a client of his wanted to register in a state requiring a home address he would advise the client to provide it and in a state not requiring it he would not. Either way, he did not attach much importance to it.
"The bottom line in this day and age is that people can find out things about other people quite easily," Emerson said. "If someone wants to find out where you live, they can do that online. They can get maps, even get aerial pictures of what your neighborhood or your house looks like. They can see what kind of a lawn you have." NPT

Q: Gather countdown timer with jsoup and setup a timer for android I want to parse a countdown timer from ebay
5g 20h

How can I parse it with jsoup to create a countdown timer on android studio?
Can I parse it like a normal element? Like below
Update:
the getMsFromString is the same method written by below from shn android dev
public synchronized void getTimer() {
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                sem.acquire();

                Document doc = Jsoup.connect(linkurl).get();
                remaining = doc.select("#vi-cdown_timeLeft").first().text();
                msFromString = getMsFromString(remaining);
                long remainingMs = System.currentTimeMillis() - msFromString;
                new CountDownTimer(remainingMs, 1000) {

                    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                        timer.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
                    }

                    public void onFinish() {
                        timer.setText("done!");
                    }

                }.start();
                sem.release();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        }
    });

A: So the HTML part of the ebay webpage associated with the countdown timer looks like this:

     Friday, 8:18AM

You want to get the value of the span element with the "timems" attribute. Note, that timems is the number of milliseconds elapsed since Jan 01, 1970.
In your JSoup try executing the following code to get the value of timems (you need to change the URL to where your eBay bid is located!):
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://myebayurl.com/").get();
Element timeSpanEle = doc.select("span.timeMs").first();
long timeMs = Long.parseLong(timeSpanEle.attr("timems"));

Now we have the value of the Unix timestamp (in milliseconds, not seconds!) indicating when the auction expires. Now we need to make a countdown timer on Android Studio. We can use the android.os.CountDownTimer to do this, since you haven't specified a class you'd like to use (however this should give you an idea how to do it).
long remainingMs = System.currentTimeMillis() - timeMs;
new CountDownTimer(remainingMs, 1000) {

     public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
         mTextField.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
     }

     public void onFinish() {
         mTextField.setText("done!");
     }

}.start();

EDIT: So the content in the original post has changed a little bit. The HTML with the time remaining for the auction is not a UNIX timestamp according to you but a String value, and thus the previous answer will not work for you. This is because the Italian version of the Ebay website (the one OP is using) is different from the American one (the version I erroneously assumed OP was using). Here is an updated answer.
Given that the time you're dealing with is in the following format and not a UNIX timestamp:

Xg Yh Zm

Where X is the number of days (g), Y is the number of hours (h) and Z is the number of minutes (m).
We get the value of the time remaining by the following:
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://myebayurl.com/").get();
String remaining = doc.select("#vi-cdown_timeLeft").first().text();

We now need to parse this String and convert it into ms remaining. Take the time remaining String from above and parse it into ms with the following static method:
public static long getMsFromString(String str) {
    String[] arr = str.split(" ");
    long auctionTimeLeft = 0;
    for(String s : arr){
        if(s.contains("g")) { //convert days to milliseconds
            auctionTimeLeft += Long.parseLong(s.substring(0, s.indexOf("g"))) * 8.64e7;
        }
        else if(s.contains("h")){ //convert hours to milliseconds
            auctionTimeLeft += Long.parseLong(s.substring(0, s.indexOf("h"))) * 3.6e6;
        }
        else if(s.contains("m")){ //convert minutes to milliseconds
            auctionTimeLeft += Long.parseLong(s.substring(0, s.indexOf("m"))) * 60000;
        }
    }
    return auctionTimeLeft;
}

Conclusion

*

*Get the auction time remaining string from ebay (i.e. "3g 10h 5m")

*Call getMsFromString on the string from first step

*Use the milliseconds remaining in step 2 in the count down timer (remainingMs in the example above)

Ecuador's power struggle
The president is battling with opposition lawmakers
President Rafael Correa seems to have the upper hand in a major conflict with opposition legislators, following the ouster earlier in March of 57 lawmakers who resisted his plans to hold a referendum on calling a constituent assembly. However, the institutional crisis is growing, along with risks to governance and stability.
Following a decision by Mr Correa, approved by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) on March 1st, to hold a national referendum on April 15th, opposition legislators attempted to block the poll with a series of political manoeuvres, including a vote to replace the head of the TSE. The TSE judges on March 7th ruled that vote invalid, and subsequently removed 57 lawmakers—more than half of the total of 100—who had backed it. They also stripped these legislators of their political rights for a year.
Not only did this leave parliamentary activity at a standstill. The showdown also triggered street protests involving indigenous groups, leftist political organisations, students and others who support the Correa administration's reform plans. There has also been violence against some of the lawmakers who have resisted their dismissals and attempted to regain entry into the premises of the National Assembly.
The deposed lawmakers lost another legal battle on March 16th, when a higher court, the Constitutional Tribunal, rejected their request for an injunction against the firings. It is now uncertain whether they can continue to appeal their dismissals through legal means. While some sort of negotiated solution between the TSE and opposition parties is possible, the chances of that grow more remote as the days pass.
How much executive power?
The crux of the dispute lies in the specifics of the statute that sets out the rules for the referendum. Congress, which is dominated by opposition parties, voted to approve the measure in February as long as the constituent assembly would not have the power to dissolve the legislature. However, President Correa subsequently left intact a provision that would indeed give the constituent assembly full powers, including the authority to shut the National Assembly. It is this version that the electoral court approved.
Opposition political parties, although widely discredited among the population, are striving to retain their privileges and authority amid a power struggle with the executive branch. Yet Mr Correa, little more than two months in office but backed by strong popular support, seems to have the advantage in the conflict so far. He has put political reform at the top of his agenda, and has pursued it astutely.
However, the prospects of political instability, Ecuador's chronic problem, are ever present and may be increasing with Mr Correa's strategy. By encouraging his supporters to take the streets to pressure legislators and put his power on display, he is resorting to a political tool that may later escalate beyond his control.
Legislative gridlock is another growing risk, as Mr Correa's party has no representation of its own in congress. He has called on the ousted lawmakers to be replaced with substitutes from their own parties, but thus far opposition party leaders have refused to seat replacements. The legislature, without a quorum, therefore remains suspended. To end the gridlock, the government will try to get a minimum of eight legislators replaced in the coming days. Given that this would restore a quorum (at least 51 out of 100 legislators), congress would re-open.
Mr Correa is also fuelling concerns among his opponents, the business sector and foreign investors that he is seeking to increase the power of the executive branch at the expense of other institutions, thereby undermining democracy in the country. He is being increasingly compared with Venezuela's president, Hugo Chávez, who similarly rewrote the constitution and has concentrated authority in his own hands.
But the new president based his electoral campaign on a promise that he would amend the constitution and reduce the power of Ecuador's traditional political parties, which are widely accused of being corrupt and are blamed for the country's persistent instability. The legislature was responsible for the removal of Ecuador's last three elected presidents. No president in the past decade has completed his full term.
Forging ahead
With his enormous popularity rating of more than 70%, Mr Correa can be expected to vigorously pursue his radical reform plans. The referendum is likely to take place as planned, probably with the support of at least one opposition party, the Partido Social Patriótico (PSP, of former President Lucio Gutiérrez), the second-largest party in congress. Moreover, the public is apt to vote overwhelmingly in favour of the constituent assembly and reform of the constitution, in a clear victory for the president.
Yet Mr Correa now is likely to find it difficult to achieve consensus on the specific responsibilities of the constituent assembly and the finer details of the reforms. Moreover, even if the PSP backs the process, this support will be fragile, as its leader, Mr Gutiérrez, seeks concessions that will increase his own political influence. Absent these, he could withdraw his support.
Finally, the main features of Ecuadorean politics—social and regional tensions, weak and divided institutions, and frequent popular protest—will keep the risk of instability, and the threats to Mr Correa's ability to govern, very high.


The Olivet School of Engineering and Architecture (OSEA) is offering its 2D Computer course in this Fall. The hands on course will include training on software such as AutoCAD, Revit, and other supplementary programs.
Students will be designing and drafting projects with computer-aided tools that can apply as fundamental skills in the field of architecture and civil engineering. OSEA students who started their projects during the Summer quarter can use the skills from AutoCad to enhance their visual communication. The course will provide opportunities for students to present their projects in further detail with the aid of 2D visuals and layouts.
One of the projects that uses AutoCad would be the Tiny Home construction Summer course. Students have started making basic models of the wooden frames of the structure that includes how much materials are needed along with measurements. The new course would equip OSEA students to further advance their design capabilities and innovative thinking on both current and future projects.

Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss | Book Club
For this month's Book Club the author Jen Campbell reviews Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss.
Despite taking place in the nineties, Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss has a presentness reminiscent of Ali Smith's seasonal quartet and Olivia Laing's Crudo. Set in Northumberland during an archaeological experiment where a young girl, her family, and a group of students are living as ancient Britons for the summer, it's an examination of the cyclical nature of time, the things we sacrifice and the lines we draw.
'I do not know what my father thought I might want to do in those days but he devoted considerable attention to making sure I couldn't do it.'
One of Moss's key strengths is the way she writes teenage girls. The voice of Miriam, a girl who collapses at school in her novel The Tidal Zone, was so on point it made me want to simultaneously hug and slap my teenage self. Silvie, our narrator in Ghost Wall, is different: less sure of herself, having been taught to hide away, yet equally believable. She peers out through the pages, clinging to the first person voice, visible to us in a way that isn't permitted off paper. She is a ghost inside her family, controlled aggressively by her father, longing for the freedom gifted to the upper class students camping with them. She witnesses the 'time' that is handed to them by their class, while she is left foraging for 'thyme' in the undergrowth. She longs to be solid, to have space, to have money. Moss conjures Woolf's ghost: Silvie needs a room of her own. She needs space to play at being herself.
This brings us to a key theme of the book: performance. These characters are playing by reenacting Iron Age life; in front of her new friends, Silvie is playing at being someone who doesn't have an abusive father; her father is playing the role of someone who can use historical context to demand the unquestioned respect he feels all men are due. Aside from the last example, playing, on paper, is healthy. We all need room to experiment — to try. It brings to mind Barrie's Neverlands: imagined places that live in the psyches of children, islands that are combed through by mothers late at night. Neverlands are safe spaces where our childhood selves can battle with our parents (Peter being a manifestation of Wendy, Hook being her father), so we can decide whether or not we're ready to grow up. But what happens when Neverlands become reality? When fairy dust turns to mud and swords can actually kill you? Ghost Wall examines this divide between play and menace, in the vein of The Third Wave experiment: the mob mentality of a group of people kidding themselves that what they are doing is just pretend… just for fun… until it's not.
'Dad didn't like the Irish, tended to see Catholicism in much the same light as the earlier form of Roman imperialism. Foreigners coming over here, telling us what to think. He wanted his own ancestry, wanted a lineage, a claim on something. Not people from Ireland or Rome or Germany or Syria but some tribe sprung from English soil like mushrooms in the night.'
Silvie's father is an overgrown Lost Boy. He is part of a working class that's been abandoned by its government and forgotten by society. He clings to nostalgic ideas of what England "used to be," an England long before his time where, he feels, he would feel at home. It's a fictional place, a literal never land and a selective narrative that's been handed down to him, moulded by patriarchy and imperialism and, ironically, the elite he despises. Nestled by the Scottish border, Ghost Wall touches on divisions within families, countries and continents. It's this which means the book is not only ghosted by the past it explores, but it's also ghosted by its future. Brexit haunts it. Trump haunts it. This little book will haunt you, too.

This thesis used a mixed-methods approach in order to address research questions concerning the financial socialization and spending habits of Generation Y (or Millennials). Generation Y is commonly held to begin in 1980, and the spectrum of Millennials surveyed for this research project was from 1980 – 1996. Following the selection of survey subjects from a mid-size, Midwestern university, an Internet-based survey was used to determine whether social media and media usage had an impact on spending habits of Millennials. Millennials in the sample size were shown to be less likely to be irresponsible consumers if they consumed more media than those who consumed less. Irresponsible consumer behavior was measured with a composite score of the variables of overspending, overdrafting, unbanked/banked, and credit card use and debt. Since the first study's median age was ~21 years, the second study employed a qualitative, grounded-theory approach to determine whether media had had a significant impact on the financial socialization of Millennials. The participants were 23 to 33 years old and did not report that they had received a significant amount of financial socialization from media. However, interesting themes emerged from their answers. Generation Y has begun telling its own stories, and generational differences came up in viii the focus groups. Participants responded to news media criticisms that Millennials are incapable of handling their own spending. Further research is needed to expand the study sample beyond the purposeful convenience sample of a mid-size university in the Midwest employed for this study. A more representative sample of Millennials and a larger sample size would be beneficial in gaining more insight into the effect and impact of media on Millennials' spending habits and financial socialization. News media reports about Millennials' lack of financial literacy should also be scrutinized before they are accepted as accurate. Research would also be valuable in this regard and take a closer look at negative media representations of Millennials in news reports. But one thing can be said for certain from the results of theses studies: a heavily media saturated environment may not be as damaging as previously believed, and Millennials aren't nearly as oblivious as they are depicted to be by media.
