Béatrix ou Béatrice dite de Miribel d'Ornacieu ou simplement d'Ornacieux, (1260-1303), est une chartreuse fondatrice d'un monastère.

Vénérée comme bienheureuse dans l'Église catholique romaine, son culte est confirmé en 1763 et elle est béatifiée par le pape Pie IX le . Sa fête liturgique est fixée au 13 février pour les Chartreux, et le  pour l'ensemble de l'Église, principalement dans le diocèse de Valence.

Vie
Son hagiographie est écrite au  dans l'ouvrage en francoprovençal lyonnais La Vita seiti Biatrix virgina de Ornaciu (« La vie de sainte Béatrice d'Ornacieux vierge ») de la religieuse Marguerite d'Oingt.

Béatrix est née aux alentours de 1260 à Ornacieux dans une famille noble et puissante, les seigneurs de Miribel d'Ornacieux, originaire du Dauphiné. Entrée en 1273 à la chartreuse de Parménie, elle part ensuite fonder un monastère à Eymeux où elle vit dans l'austérité et y connait de nombreuses extases mystiques. Elle en devient prieure et y meurt vers 1303. Ses reliques sont alors partagées entre Eymeux et Parménie.

Press Release for the training workshop "Excellence Strategy in University Performance" (July 2019, Cairo)
Events | Duration: 07/07/2019 to 08/07/2019
The Arab European Leadership Network in Higher Education (ARELEN) in collaboration with the Arab Administrative Development Organization (ARADO) organized a two day training workshop on modern university leadership workshop titled "Excellence Strategy in University Performance" which took place on the 7th & 8th of July, 2019 in Cairo.
The Secretary General of the Association of Arab Universities (AArU), Prof. Amr Ezzat Salama stressed that AArU has begun to work on positioning the network and seeking to develop its activities and role at the Arab and international level to include in addition to Arab universities the African universities as well.
He pointed out the importance of training of university leaders to be in line with the modern and advanced management of education, stressing the importance and necessity of benefiting from the European advanced expertise in this field and using the means of the new information and communication technology in the development of traditional administrative methods, through its search engines which allows easy access to unlimited information.
He added that new information and communication technology is needed to contribute to the development of Plans and future visions of the educational institution and provide the necessary information for comparison, evaluation and improve performance.
Dr. Salama noted that AArU in cooperation with ARELEN has developed a plan to expand the activity of the network, intensify the activities taking into account the geographical distribution of the targeted institutions at the Arab and regional level.
Prof. Mohamed Loutfi, Vice President of ARELEN, gave lectures on the latest methods and standards of university leaders and the impact of scientific and technological progress on the effectiveness and ability of modern management in its direct impact to develop the academic and educational institutions and the ability of modern management to respond to the rapid scientific changes.
He announced that ARELEN in cooperation with AArU will hold several workshops and events that will contribute to providing university leaders with the necessary expertise to improve their management level and gradually switch to the modern management and leadership.
Dr. David Lock, the Secretary General of ARELEN, gave a detailed explanation of the vision of the modern leadership of universities and academic institutions. He pointed out that the European experience in the university leadership is sophisticated at the international level and takes into account all elements necessary to improve the level of modern university administration and the optimal utilization of the elements of development at the level of expertise, human and physical potential of the institution and the response to the needs of the local communities.
It should be noted that the Arab European Leadership Network in Higher Education (ARELEN), was launched by the AArU in early 2014 in cooperation with European bodies, as an outcome of the Tempus project entitled "Leadership in Higher Education Management", for training university leaders and enhancing cooperation among higher education leaders in the Middle East, North African and Europe.

You have written in the past about the advice prescribed in Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh. As you continue to learn this sefer, how have you successfully implemented its teachings in your daily routine? What difficulties have you encountered doing so? And finally, did your opportunity to listen to the recordings of the mechaber's shiurim that you posted give you any new insights on how to learn this sefer and put it into practice?
As a sentence or two of background, the author outlines a regimen of at least one hour of hisbonenus each day to really internalize 1) Ratzon for Kirvas Hashem, 2) Consciousness of metzius Hashem, 3) consciousness of Hashem's immediate closeness and 4) Hashem's hashgacha pratis in every detail of life. He also says that we must reinforce this hisbonenus with a 10-15 second hisbonenus every 15 minutes or so throughout the day.
At the beginning, I tried the hour of hisbonenus a couple of times. However, my powers of concentration have been so eroded by years of bad habits and perhaps my natural difficulty with concentration. Therefore, I had difficulty staying focused on one line of thinking for such a long time. My other problem was with the periodic mini-hisbonenus'n throughout the day. At the beginning, I set alarms for myself on my PDA and, as part of a chaburah, we would call each other as a reminder a few times a day to do that mini-hisbonenus.
This became hard to maintain as well, so I basically stopped trying to apply the teachings of the sefer for almost 2 years. On one hand, I couldn't give up learning the sefer because I don't want to give up the ship. And on the other hand, I felt that I didn't want to start applying it again if I wasn't sure I could succeed. Furthermore, I had kind of an all-or-nothing attitude. I'm learning, working full-time, and in law school. I certainly don't have time for an hour of hisbonenus in the day. And if I can't do all of it, I don't want to do it at all.
However, in the last couple of weeks, with all of the excitement around the mechaber's visit to the United States, and now being the heat of the Elul teshuva season, I realize that now is the time to reinvigorate my efforts and making Kirvas Hashem a priority again in my life. This was not really advertised in advance, but many people were able to get private meetings in person or by phone with Rav Shwartz to discuss his eitzos for that person's personal avodas Hashem. Baruch Hashem I was able to speak with him by phone and I was able to lay out my situation and ask him how to apply what he teaches into my practical life.
I will not share the very specific advice he gave me, lest people think that what he told me will be applicable to everyone, I'll share a couple of principals that I think might not be obvious from the seforim in terms of practically applying what he teaches.
One thing is not to have the all-or-nothing attitude. Although it might seem from the seforim that if you can't spend 1 hour on hisbonenus per day, you won't succeed, the fact is that everything that you do counts. the main thing, however, is that what you do be consistent. If you can only commit to 5 minutes a day, do 5 minutes a day, every day, seven days a week. The important part is the consistency, more so than the amount of time, though doing the full hour is obviously more effective than 5 minutes. But if, for practical reasons, you can only spend 5 minutes, then do so!
The second thing is just to reinforce the importance of doing mini-hisbonenus'n throughout the day to reinforce the idea you're working on inculcating into yourself during the hisbonenus time.
So IY"H, my plan now is to reinvigorate my efforts and commit to a regular, sacrosanct time for some significant hisbonenus per day and to create reminders for myself as I get into the habit of doing mini-hisbonenus moments throughout the day.
May we all be matzliach in incorporating consciousness of Hashem into our lives!
Thanks for the insights. An hour was too much for me as well.
I, too, adapted mini-hisbonenus sessions for the past 3 months.

"The Hatter Takes the Crown" &
"The Clock King Strikes!"
The Dynamic Duo travel to merry old England to track down the Mad Hatter. There's a lot to love about this story, including the fact that the back up story is actually a follow-up to the main one featuring Clock King.
John and Dan Greenfield of 13th Dimension get together in the Batcave to review DC Comics' fourth issue of the 66 series run. Join them every Wednesday for a new review as they go through every issue of the run and every special edition story as well.
John and Dan talk about why Londinium is never mentioned and yet they're fine with it, the great nods to other aspects of pop culture in the story, and the familial connection between Mad Hatter and Clock King.

Italy between structural and current crisis: an overview of the present status.
Italy is facing a crisis that seems interminable, or it rather faces several crises: political, economic, financial and social. What are the reasons that brought Italy, one of the EU founding countries, in the current situation? I try to analyse the causes, distinguishing between "structural" and "current" difficulties.
Among the structural difficulties, the main problem is that of the public debt, which is a problem as old as the Italian state. To complete the unification of the peninsula – in the second half of XIX century – the Kingdom of Sardinia incurred expenses that complicated its future state building process.In 1870, the debt to GDP ratio reached 96% and increased even more around 1890, or just after the agrarian crisis, reaching 120% in 1897. Despite the decline before the 1st World War, in 1920 it reached again 125%. After the 2ndWorld War the problem was solved because by the 70s, the public debt was just 37%, but this did not last for long. The center left and the pentapartito governments in the eighties brought the ratio over 100%, with an additional increase caused by the burst of Tangentopoli. Then the ratio decreased progressively up to 99.7% in 2007, before the economic crisis. Thenit increasedagain, bringing to power the technocratic governments of Monti and Letta. Currently, the public debt has reached the 132% threshold. Italy is therefore economically exposed to any external shock due to the size of its public debt.
Another structural difficulty is the gap between the North and the South. Several scholars addressed the topic, offering different perspectives. As I am not an economist, I want to focus on political motivations or more precisely on the impact of the Italian political subcultures. In his book La QualitàdellaDemocrazia in Italia. Capitalesociale e Politica (2011) Almagisti argues how different subcultures have affected the different outputs of the Italian regions, through the formation or not of social capital, exactly as Robert Putnam did in Making Democracy Work (1993). In Sviluppo economico e trasformazioni socio-politiche dei sistemi territoriali a economia diffusa. Le subculture politicheterritoriali(1981), Carlo Triglia explains that political subcultures indicate not only a preference for a political culture (and therefore for a party), but rather indicate an entire local political system, legitimized by a dense institutional network. The strong fracture centre/periphery in Italy favoured the strengthening of the two subcultures: the white one and the red one. The third area, which does not really correspond to a political subculture, is southern Italy.
To explain the differences between the North and the South (without completely retracing the history of Italy)I refer to the agrarian crisis of 1880. The white area responds to the former territory of the RepubblicaSerenissima'sStato de Tera area, meaning the current Veneto (without Rovigo), the current Friuli (without the provinces of Trieste and Gorizia), the Province of Trento and the Lombard' provinces of Bergamo and Brescia. The society was characterized by the land-owning family, meaning families that worked the land to insure their needs, and that trusted the established order. But due to the old Venetian law, a tendency towards polycentrism and localism was accentuated. The church was the only institution to produce social capital and it was The Catholic Church, through the Rerum Novarum and the activism of the its association network that solved the agrarian crisis in this region.
The red zone responds to the province of Rovigo and to those regions which in the Middle Ages enjoyed the experience of principalities and republics. The political freedom granted by the republics allowed the affirmation of the freedom of conversion, which was also defended against the church. Social capital was produced by networks of trust and solidarity, which during the agrarian crisis was best interpreted by socialist movements – that proposed laic and reform programs.
What about the South? During the state building process, the debt of the Kingdom of Italy prevented the creation of a bureaucracy and a strategy of integration of the southern regions, leaving the agriculture involute and unproductive not only compared the foreign countries, but also compared to northern Italy. During the agrarian crisis the south found no solution except in the amoral familyism, or in the total distrust in institutions culminating with the birth of the brigand culture.
In the period of the First Republic, the two subcultures were represented and strengthened by the Democrazia Cristiana (DC) in the white area, and by the Italian Communist Party (PCI) in the red area. In the south, the political party that succeeded in obtaining the majority of votes was the DC, which however adopted different behaviours and practices than the white zone (Allum 1997, 219).
Italy has another structural problem: it has always been a politically unstable country. Almond and Verba showed in The Civic Culture: Political Attitudes and Democracy in Five Nations (1963) that Italy lacked a civic culture at national level, but it was replaced by political subcultures and democratic anchorage by the political parties. In this context, the 50 governments that followed one another from 1946 to 1994 demonstrated the Italian political instability at the government level, but not at the political level, given that the Italian party system did not change for the duration of the so-called first republic. The first signs of a representation' crisis occurred with the referendum on divorce, when it was understood that DC (which was against) and the PCI (which was in favour but it did a subdued campaign because they believed that Italians were lined up with the Church) did not understand the radical change of Italian society. In the so-called second republic through the "Mattarellum" electoral law, it seemed that the right harmony between representation and governability had been found. The majority guaranteed governability, while the proportional system guaranteed representation. The political subcultures changed the reference party even if, after the Tangentopoli crack, social capital moved towards civic associations, moving away from politics in the strict sense. In the north, the white subculture stopped supporting the DC in favour of the Lega Nord (LN), in the red area the red subculture embraced the centre left led by Occhetto, D'Alema and Prodi. In the south, Forza Italia (FI) replaced DC.
The growing separation of parties from society is also generated by wrong choices made by parties themselves. To give some examples, in the last ten years the government parties have reformed the electoral law with the aim of favouring the loss of the opponent (Feltri, 2017) and to strengthen the party secretariats towards the territory.
The current difficulties need to be added to these structural difficulties. The tax burden that goes to 48.8% (source Adkronos) but that in some cases reaches 70%, as Befera, director of the Tax Agency states. The bureaucracy delays both the process of digitization and the payment of the commissions, and the European Commission deferred it.
Among the current difficulties we need to speak about the last elections. Today, political geography seems to have changed. Italy no longer represents the two subcultures and the third area identified above, but is cut in two. If we look at the result of the last elections, we see that in the north the votes go to the LN that proposed the Flat Tax, or a single rate regardless of income, and in the south the votes go to the Movimento 5 Stelle (M5S) that proposed an income of citizenship for those who do not find work.
This net division of Italy, together with the electoral law and a political climate characterized by a high level of conflict between the political forces in which anti-system parties have been able to grow, has led to a political crisis that risked seeing the first parliament of Italian history unable to produce a government. The crisis lasted 89 days: the electoral law made by the Democratic Party prevented the victory of a party or a coalition, but, because of the unexpected growth of the LN in the centre right (which has passed FI) and the M5S that has exceeded 30% and at the same time the PartitoDemocratico (PD)'s defeat under 25%, the so-called mainstream parties were attained from creating a grosseKoalition government.
The President of the Republic has tried the two possible ways: alliance between centre-right and M5S, and between centre left and M5S but when he did not meet the support of the parties, he proposed a "neutral" government for the summer and to return to the vote in the autumn. Just when it seemed that the parties were not able to agree with each other, Lega and M5S managed to approach their positions (but the Lega had to give up the alliance of centre-right with FI, that went to the opposition). The controversy with President Mattarella on the figure of Prof. Paolo Savona, which was proposed by Salvini and Di Maio as Minister of Finance was resolved by moving him to the ministry of European affairs.
Even if the government was formed, the difficulties lie in satisfying two completely different types of electorate and in the capacities of the leaders of the two political parties to respect the (high) expectations of the electorate. Personally, I believe that Prof. Paolo Savona can represent a positive factor for the European Union (it can stimulate the debate within the EU). Although he is contrary to the governance of the Euro, he has always declared to be in favour of the Union and a critical but competent voice can spur the impasse that crosses the EU for several years. I also believe that the republican institutions will be able to institutionalize the two populist parties that govern today. My trust is based on the past, whenthese institutions were able to manage stresses as the transition from fascism to democracy, the reintegration into the political life of many former fascists, the red and black terrorism of the 60s and 70s and the fall of the Berlin Wall. But even more recently, they were able to face the fall of traditional parties, the normalization of the post-fascist MovimentoSocialeItaliano and the entry of Berlusconi into politics.
Tangentopoli:The term refers to an imaginary city where corruption is a common habits.To this term was associated the work of the pool of Milan, defined precisely, pool Clean Hands in the years 1992-1994 that began to investigate corruption in Milan and between the dishonest relations between politics and entrepreneurship. The exchange of accusations between the suspects led to further investigations, arrests and even suicides of political figures, such as the socialist Sergio Moroni. The investigations led indirectly to the dissolution of the Italian traditional political parties, the PSI and the DC.

Femicide Census report 2016 published
The 2016 Femicide Census report reveals that 113 women were killed by men in England, Wales and Northern Ireland between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2016.
Nine in ten women killed during 2016 were killed by someone they knew, 78 women were killed by their current or former intimate partner, 65 of which were killed at their own home or the home they shared with the perpetrator, data from the latest Femicide Census report can reveal.
By collating femicides, it can be seen that these killings are not isolated incidents; too many of them follow a repeated pattern. Many were committed in similar locations, a sharp instrument was used as a weapon in 47 cases, and the majority of women killed by men were killed by a current or former intimate partner – although men's fatal violence against women does extend beyond violence in intimate partner relationships. By viewing these cases of femicide together, we can learn what needs to be done to reduce, and ultimately prevent, the killing of women by men.
The Femicide Census found that between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2016:
113 women were killed by men in England, Wales and Northern Ireland
Nine in ten (88 per cent,) of women killed by men were killed by someone they knew, nine women were killed by a stranger
Three quarters (75 per cent, 85) of all women killed by men were killed at their home
Over two thirds (69 per cent, 78) of women killed by men were killed by a current or former intimate partner. 83 per cent (65) of women killed by a current or former intimate partner were killed at their own home or the home they shared with the perpetrator.
23 women killed by men were killed by either a stranger or someone they knew who was not an intimate partner or male family member. Over half of these women (12) were killed at their own homes by either a neighbour, acquaintance, stranger or by the (ex-) partner of their daughter
Over three quarters (77 per cent, 24) of women killed by a former intimate partner were killed within the first year of separation.
In 47 cases, perpetrators used a sharp instrument to kill the victim
Karen Ingala Smith, Chief Executive of nia, (a domestic and sexual violence charity working to end violence against women and girls) said, "When we look at crime statistics, whether in relation to sexual violence, child sex abuse, prostitution or domestic violence and abuse, too often the disparity in the sexes of the victim and perpetrator is not made clear. This prevents us from being able to see the full extent and reach of men's violence against women and girls. The Femicide Census is a very significant exception to this.
"Men are killing women and girls; most often women and girls that they are related to. Nine out of ten women killed by men in the census were killed by someone they knew. Over three quarters by a current or former partner. Every woman killed was important. But when we think about women killed by men, it's important that we don't forget about women who were killed by a man who wasn't a partner; in 2016 they included a 30-year-old woman who was sexually assaulted and killed as she walked to work, a 20-year-old woman who suffered 60 separate injuries as she was raped and murdered by a delusional sexual predator who had promised to help her get home safely and an 81-year-old woman who was battered on the head and set alight by an intruder in her home. Men's fatal violence against women extends beyond their partners and families.
"By breaking the barriers through which we contextualise violent crime, we're able to build a different picture, a broader picture, about what causes and influences violence – violence that is largely perpetrated by men.
"Our work was cited as a good practice example by the United Nations. I really hope that the lessons that can be learned from The Femicide Census are taken seriously."
Katie Ghose, Chief Executive of Women's Aid, said, "More needs to be done to address men's fatal violence against women, as once again the Femicide Census reveals fatalities not as isolated incidents but as part of a repeated pattern of male violence against women. Shockingly, in 2016, over two thirds of women killed by a man were killed by a current or former intimate partner; 83 per cent of these women were killed at their own home or the home they shared with the perpetrator. The government must urgently put the prevention of femicide at the centre of its work to combat male violence against women and girls.
"Every woman should be safe in her own home. Until that day, refuges are a vital lifeline, not an optional extra; they are not just a bed for a night but essential for women to safely escape domestic abuse and rebuild their lives away from the perpetrator. A crucial part of preventing more fatalities must be to ensure sufficient provision for domestic abuse and sexual violence services, including refuges. Yet the government's proposed changes to supported housing funding for refuges plan to remove refuges' last secure form of funding.
"Demand for refuges already far outstrips supply and the proposed funding model could be the breaking point. Refuges will be faced with the awful reality of either turning more women away or closing their doors forever. Only by creating a long-term and sustainable funding model for a national network of refuges can we ensure that every woman can safely escape domestic abuse.
"Without a safe space to escape to, more women will be killed by men they know. The government must act now."
Femicide is generally defined as the killing of women because they are women, though some definitions include any killing of women or girls by men. The Global Study on Homicide in 2011 indicated that whilst there had been a decrease in the number of homicides worldwide, there had been an increase in the number of femicides . A recent report by the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women (SRVAW) noted that the UN and its Member States have repeatedly concluded that the comparability and availability of data is key to defining and understanding femicide, and its manifestations, causes and consequences. The SRVAW described the Femicide Census as an example of good practice in data collection.
Karen Ingala Smith has been recording and commemorating UK women killed by men since January 2012 in a campaign called Counting Dead Women. Karen is Chief Executive of nia, a London based charity championing an integrated approach to addressing all forms of men's violence against women and girls.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — With 17 seconds remaining in Missouri's game against Arkansas on Tuesday night, Razorbacks' forward Daniel Gafford slammed home a dunk off an alley-oop to cut the Tigers' lead to just one point. Missouri guard Xavier Pinson committed a push-off foul on the ensuing possession and Arkansas had a chance to win the game on the final possession.
BIG PICTURE: Arkansas: The Razorbacks had a chance to win, but instead it turns into a loss that will hurt their NCAA Tournament chances.
YOU GOTTA FINISH: Arkansas had won four consecutive conference games prior to losing on Saturday against South Carolina and again versus Missouri. Anderson said the two losses came down to the team's inability to finish.
"You saw it, finishing," Anderson said. "We're mounting a comeback. The key is you've got to be able to make plays. And we didn't."
WINNING A SHOOTOUT: Entering Tuesday night's contest, Missouri had allowed fewer than 70 points in all 11 of their victories. In giving up 78 points, the Tigers relied on their offense to carry them over the top in this one.
BREAKING RECORDS: Arkansas freshman guard Isaiah Joe drilled four 3-pointers in a 17-point performance against Missouri. A 3 in the beginning of the second half gave Joe his 84th triple this season, a record for Arkansas freshmen. The previous record-holder was Rotnei Clarke, who knocked down 83 3-pointers in the 2008-09 season.
UP NEXT: Arkansas returns home to face Mississippi State on Saturday.

Q: Designing a home theater room for optimal acoustics We are building an addition on our home that will allow us to build a basement home theater room with some level of flexibility regarding its size and shape.  I've been reading somewhat conflicting information about room dimensions and shapes to provide optimal acoustics, and few sources seem to directly cite a scientific basis for guidelines.  I kind of get the feeling that this is more art than science.
My first question would be--how reliable is room modeling software (or manual calculations) in providing an accurate acoustic room response?  Simulation has the allure of helping optimize room shape, but only if it's a good predictor.
I've read conflicting guidelines regarding whether or not angling a wall, or multiple walls might help minimize standing wave problems, and that they certainly complicate the analysis.  I've read in some places that room dimension formulas are valid and other places that they're not.  It seems pretty universally accepted that dimensions shouldn't be near multiples of each other.  Are there current best practices for room design that are universally accepted?
For reference, the room interior width is constrained to be 11'11", length can be up to 23', and height can be as large as reasonably excavated in a home basement (6 to 10 ft).

A: This is quite an old post but I believe it will be relevant for years to come, as this is a field that will "trouble" people as long as good audio reproduction is a wish.
To start with room modelling software. Nowadays room simulations are more accurate than when the question was posted, and they will always become better with passing years (the rate of improvement is another story though). One has to keep in mind though that the method of simulations has a major impact on the validity of the results.
In general, there are two big "families" of simulation techniques. Those are the wave-based and the geometrical. In the former, all (or at least most) wave phenomena are modelled so the results are very accurate, provided that the data used are accurate! This means that one has to acquire correct data for the surfaces and materials in the room and some of the needed values are not something published extensively by manufacturers (such as Young modulus, surface impedances, etc.). For more information of such methods, one can have a look at methods such as Finite Differences (FD) (see the paper Generalized Finite Difference Time Domain Method and Its Application to Acoustics by Wei, Wang, Hou and Dang), Boundary Elements Method (BEM) (see the book The Boundary Element in Acoustics by Stephen Kirkup) and Finite Element Methods (FEM) (most probably the paper The Finite Element Method in Acoustics can serve as a good starting point but I haven't laid my hands on it).
In the latter, the sound is treated as rays and the treatment is done from an energy point of view. This means that the wave nature of sound is neglected entirely and phenomena such as diffraction and refraction are not modelled (this is not always true though and there have been proposed methods to model diffraction such as the one described in An Efficient Auralization of Edge Diffraction paper by Lokki, Svensson and Savioja and Modeling Diffraction from an Edge Between Surfaces with Different Materials by Lokki and Pulkki). Nevertheless, it has been proposed that geometrical methods provide somewhat accurate results for high frequencies, where the interference patterns are very localised in the spatial domain well beyond our ability to discern differences (or that may make a big difference/issue). For more condensed information one can refer to the book Auralization - Fundamentals of Acoustics, Modelling, Simulation, Algorithms and Acoustic Virtual Reality by Vorländer.
Since most simulation methods compute the results with a more or less modified geometrical method, you have to be aware of its erroneous results in the "low-frequency regime". Now, what does "low-frequency regime" mean? This depends on the dimensions of the room. There are various proposals as to how to divide the spectrum into different regions but the most used out there (in my experience) is the Schroeder frequency, which is calculated by
$$f_{s} >> 2000 \sqrt{\frac{T}{V}}$$
where T is the reverberation time and can be calculated by one of the available formulas (such as Sabine, Norris-Eyring or Fitzroy. For more information on this see Prediction of the Reverberation Time in Rectangular Rooms with Non-Uniformly Distributed Sound Absorption by Neubauer and Kostek) and V is the volume of the room. Below that frequency, it is better to treat the sound field as a wavefield (as opposed to an energy/ray field - excuse the slight abuse of term here) and use some wave-based method, or just ignore the results.
An alternative is to use a mode calculator such as the one proposed by Robert Harvey in their comment (or one from the huge plethora of such calculators out there). You have to keep in mind though that they most probably calculate the modes of the room without absorption being considered. The effect of absorption could potentially change the frequency the modes happen (the amount of change could also depend on the amount of absorption in the room) as well as the bandwidth of each mode (less absorption would produce sharp modes with distinct, well-defined frequencies). The shape most probably won't change but one may experience a bit more pressure build close to the boundaries of the room.
Now coming to the shape of the room. By tilting the boundaries/walls can help to make the shape of the modes irregular (compared to the rectangular room), but it will NOT make the modes vanish. The room will still exhibit modes in specific frequencies, but the shape of the modes, as well as the frequency each mode is happening, may change (the latter, most probably, only by a small amount). This is why you would still require to take into consideration the dimensions of the room. What one can achieve by dimensioning the room "correctly" (a magnanimous word used here!) is to distribute the modes as evenly as possible in the spectrum. This would result in an even energy distribution in the spectrum, which means an, as much as this is possible, flat frequency response. Still, the spatial distribution of the modes will not go away, and you would, most probably, still get some spatial irregularities in the frequency response.
To conclude this long "answer", I believe that using as many tools as you have available with careful consideration on their limitations is the way to achieve the best possible results. What I would do is to use some geometrical modelling tool to get a rough idea of the result for the "high-frequency regime", then use a different tool to calculate for the "low-frequency regime" (this could range from FEM software to a "simple" mode calculator) and try to combine them in the end. In addition to that, I would also consider some well known good practices that are available to everyone (like where to place absorbers and/or diffusers in the room after building it, loudspeaker placement for optimum reproduction, etc.) to improve the end result. Although this may sound trivial, it is not and requires a lot of iterations and testing of different designs.
In the end... I am not sure whether this is more art than science, but I believe it is more of an art to use science!

Graduate Awards and Prizes
Digel-Jones Memorial Award
We are happy to announce the Digel/Jones Memorial Gift, offered to the department in the name of two former Lehigh students. The Digel/Jones Memorial Gift honors the lives of William A. Digel (B.A. 1959, M.A. 1964) and Barry O. Jones (B.S. 1960) by providing support to students in the English Department of Lehigh University. The Fund will be administered by the Chair of the English Department.
Bill Digel (Lehigh '59) majored in English at Lehigh, and for a time was also in the 5-year Arts/Engineering program. After military service he continued as a graduate student and also as an instructor in English, receiving an M.A. in 1964 with a thesis on John Donne. But he had also always had an interest in science generally, and especially in how "things" worked; his collection of old radio parts was a particular delight, both of his and his friends. After he received his M.A. he in effect combined his interests in science, technology, and writing, beginning a long career as a technical writer with Dupont. He served in that capacity until retirement and continued as a consultant until his death in 2010. For his contemporaries in the Theta Xi fraternity Bill was a reassuring (and inspiring) example of a life that could be lived outside the precincts of engineering and business.
Barry Jones (Lehigh '60) received a degree in accounting from Lehigh, but did so only because it afforded a clearer path to earning a living. His first loves had always been literature and writing, and after military service he was able to pursue them. He took up graduate studies in English at Rutgers, with the encouragement of Lehigh's Carl Strauch and the counsel of Paul Fussell of Rutgers; he received an M. A. from Rutgers and was subsequently an instructor in English there, an editor of Rutgers publications, a consultant in business communications, and an editor for Bloomberg News. His notable service to the Lehigh chapter of Theta Xi fraternity included a ten-year as secretary of its alumni association, during which time his annual Eta News won an award from the national fraternity. His memoir of his service in the peacetime U.S. Army, Honest John: Adventures of a Reluctant Cold-Warrior, was published in 2006.

Eyal Berkovic ensured renegade East Ender Paul Ince left his first love with nothing except "Judas" jibes as the Hammers found a silver lining to their black September cloud.
Israeli schemer Berkovic had helped Harry Redknapp's men take the lead utterly against the run of play in the first half when his right-footer rebounded off the post for John Hartson to slide home.
The watching Glenn Hoddle was then given the strongest of nudges before Monday's announcement of the England squad for the World Cup clash in Italy when Robbie Fowler crashed home a wonder volley in the 52nd minute.
Fowler, who had missed two clear openings before the break, then chipped against the bar and had a penalty claim rejected by referee Dermot Gallagher.
But in the 65th minute former Everton man David Unsworth, judged not guilty by Gallagher, pumped forward in search of big Hartson.
The Welshman's header came off Ince's toe to run across the edge of the Liverpool box and up stepped Berkovic to smash past David James and into the bottom corner.
After that the Hammers lived on the nerves, Unsworth somehow clearing a certain goal off Fowler's toe and substitute Karlheinz Riedle's diving header a coat of paint wide.
But after four straight losses in the month Redknapp will not care how his team grabbed three points, only that they have - and Roy Evans must wonder how his team had lost.
At the outset, with Liverpool stroking the ball about casually, the home fans had seemed more interested in abusing Ince than anything taking place on the park.
Eight years might be a long time, but the grudges are deep in this corner of East London, and Ince bore the brunt.
"Judas", "Stand up if you hate Paul Ince" and "You're scum and you know you are" hardly made for a warm welcome, nor did an unpunished tackle from behind from Iain Dowie.
But Ince would not have minded running the gauntlet of hate if his side had taken advantage of their early dominance.
They should have done, and Fowler missed an absolute sitter in the sixth minute, the sort of opening England cannot afford to squander in Rome.
When Stig Bjornebye crossed from the left the striker was utterly unmarked 10 yards out, but with all the time in the world at his disposal, he could only head at the grateful Ludek Miklosko.
That was not the only chance, Patrik Berger flashing wide from 25 yards and then seeing a free-kick tipped over by Miklosko.
And so the Hammers' 16th minute goal was even more of a shock, although Liverpool only had themselves to blame.
When the ball fell to Berkovic he had six yellow shorts between him and the goal.
But they all backed off, allowing the Israeli time to shoot right-footed from 20 yards. It was not his best strike, but still good enough to beat James and come back off the post for Hartson to claim his fifth of the season.
Even after Hartson had struck Liverpool had the upper hand. Fowler headed wide from Berger, before the Czech produced an identikit repeat of his earlier raking left-footer, Miklosko again beaten as the ball went past his right hand post.
And yet suddenly the Merseysiders stopped playing, and Redknapp's team picked up the baton.
Andy Impey, finally a Hammer after four months, began to probe and then forced a diving tip over from James, and Bjornebye must have been relieved when the clearest of pushes from behind on Hartson in the 38th minute was not spotted.
Liverpool were not much better in the opening minutes of the second half, before Fowler's moment of brilliance appeared to have turned the game on its head.
Unsworth seemed to have done enough to clear Bjornebye's left-wing centre, but Fowler needed just a fraction of a second to set himself and arrow the ball into the top corner.
Now it was all Liverpool again. Owen was fractionally wide and then a typically surging Ince run - accompanied as ever by the boos - ended with a pass to Fowler, whose chip beat Miklosko all ends up only to bounce back off the bar.
Fowler then claimed a penalty after going down under an Unsworth challenge, before Berkovic provided the day's second bolt from the claret and blue.
Even so, Liverpool looked set to level again instantly, Owen's pace taking him clear with Fowler poised to convert two yards out before Unsworth appeared from nowhere to hack away from under his own bar.
Ince also had appeals for a spot-kick rejected as Evans threw on Jason McAteer, Danny Murphy and Riedle.
Frank Lampard might have settled it after linking with Hartson, although Riedle was left wondering how his diving header had not converted McAteer's cross nine minutes from time.
West Ham were not bothered, the final whistle giving them licence to barrack Ince again. They did, mercilessly. After all, their team had won.
West Ham: Miklosko, Breacker, Unsworth, Hartson, Lomas, Dowie, Ferdinand, Lampard, Pearce, Impey, Berkovic.
Subs Not Used: Potts, Bishop, Rowland, Moore, Forrest.
Goals: Berkovic 65, Hartson 16.
Liverpool: James, Kvarme (Murphy 70), Babb, McManaman, Fowler, Berger (Riedle 75), Thomas (McAteer 70), Ince, Owen, Bjornebye, Carragher.
Subs Not Used: Thompson, Nielson.

Q: pyspark ML LabeledPoint not working with LinearRegression I'm studying Spark 3.0.1 with pyspark, and have setup some data for simple OLS regression using
data = results.select('OrderMonthYear', 'SaleAmount').rdd.map(lambda row: LabeledPoint(row[1], [row[0]])).toDF()

The OrderMonthYear is my feature column (int), and SaleAmount is the response (float). The LabeledPoint method was imported from pyspark.mllib.regression.  I then try to fit the regression model with
from pyspark.ml.regression import LinearRegression
lr = LinearRegression()
modelA = lr.fit(data, {lr.regParam:0.0})

to get this exception
IllegalArgumentException: requirement failed: Column features must be of type struct<type:tinyint,size:int,indices:array<int>,values:array<double>> but was actually struct<type:tinyint,size:int,indices:array<int>,values:array<double>>.

This is clearly not very helpful, as the required and passed features seem to be the same structs. I've searched online, and only found answers to this problem for java, or for someone building the struct themselves. The exception was thrown from a util function that was just throwing a java exception (#Hide where the exception came from that shows a non-Pythonic JVM exception message.), so I can't debug further.

A: MLlib and RDD-based MLlib functions are deprecated. I suggest using vector assembler of ML:
from pyspark.ml.feature import VectorAssembler
from pyspark.ml.regression import LinearRegression

data = spark.createDataFrame([[0,1],[1,2],[2,3]]).toDF('OrderMonthYear', 'SaleAmount')

va = VectorAssembler(inputCols=['SaleAmount'], outputCol='features')
data2 = va.transform(data)

lr = LinearRegression(labelCol='OrderMonthYear')
model = lr.fit(data2)

A: For anyone else following the same LI Learning course, based on some modifications to the accepted answer above to align more with what I was seeing in the course, here's what Cmd 4 cell should look like:
# convenience for specifying schema
from pyspark.ml.feature import VectorAssembler

data = VectorAssembler(inputCols=['OrderMonthYear'], outputCol='features').transform(results.select("OrderMonthYear", "SaleAmount")).drop('OrderMonthYear').withColumnRenamed('SaleAmount', 'label')

display(data)

Alternatively, you can use the following which also works:
from pyspark.ml.linalg import Vectors
data = results.rdd.map(lambda r: (Vectors.dense(r[0]), r[1])).toDF(["features","label"])
display(data)

Then you should be good to go. Note that you'll want to make the same changes to Cmd 4 in notebooks 4.4 and 4.5 as well. Hope this helps!

For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about the way that ideas and storytelling can transform people's lives.
That is why I am writing a book about civility—a necessary and sufficient condition for human flourishing.
Living in Washington D.C., and serving as a political appointee in the the federal government during a deeply divided era in America's history, caused me to reflect deeply on civility.
During my time in federal service, I gained a renewed appreciation of the imperative to treat all individuals with respect and dignity—not just those who were kind to me, with whom I agreed, or who could benefit me.
Reflecting a close study of the luminaries of the past, the lives of great men and women from history, as well as my own lived experience, I have discovered that civility—which is grounded in a fundamental respect for human dignity—is necessary for a thriving human society.
This is because people sense something important is missing in our modern era.
My commissions at various law and policy centers, and my graduate work at the London School of Economics, were aimed at studying human problems and their solutions. My commitment to community service led me to get involved with Rotary International—I started Rotaract club in my community in high school, I was a Rotary Scholar as I earned my Masters in Social Policy in London, and I have travelled internationally to speak at their events.
As the daughter of The Manners Lady, I know my way around the cocktail party. As an American raised in Canada and educated in the United Kingdom, I have had opportunity to study the way that mores and norms support democratic institutions. As a lifelong student of great books, history, and ideas, I write on civility with a unique and fresh perspective.
My goal is to craft a book that will encourage my fellow Americans to more profoundly appreciate the ideals that made our country great—and inspire them to revive these ideals in their own lives to the end of a strengthened nation, and a more vibrant human community.


There are lots of posts on getting Eclipse setup for Drupal development, I'm just providing the links to the ones I found, found most helpful, and some notes on things that have changed in those articles or points that I found to be different.
Start with: http://blip.tv/file/3253369 A great video that walks you through setting up Eclipse PDT on Os X... I noticed that in the video, Eclipse is version "Galileo", whereas I've used "Helios". This probably accounts for some of the discrepancies.
Setting up my new(to me) Mac pro (2009), and as a dedicated drupal advocate/enthusiast/up-and-coming-guru, I've installed Drush, "Drush is a command line shell and scripting interface for Drupal, a veritable Swiss Army knife designed to make life easier for those of us who spend some of our working hours hacking away at the command prompt."
Problem is, after going through the README text file and installing it, trying to run it gave me the error "Could not start up."
So I'm going to try to focus on a number of projects which will hopefully make me better at what I do, and look good on a resume/in an interview, natch.
My OrangePC 530. Although a more robust feature set (see the cable below, multiple cpu jumper settings available), I had little luck with this particular item. Probably damamaged goods. Ebay: you win some, you lose some.
After a clean install of Os 9 (was trying to setup a tri boot system with OsX, Os9, and Ubuntu, which was not going well) tossed the 620 in there and fired it up! After installing the OrangePCi software, then the 3.4.2 update, booted up into Windows 98, looks great, no image problems or anything! I'll post some pictures shortly.
Thanks to all for the support getting this card up and running! OrangePC lives!!!
Updating the software to version 3.4.2 and success! Was able to boot, post, and even go into the BIOS!!! Now to install an OS!


I am a wife, mother of 2, son Alex & daughter Sydney and I also run a small business doing custom apparel.
I enjoy camping with my family, and I am a Disney nut.
I hope you will enjoy looking at my items in my booth.
Please check back often as I am continually adding new items.


In short, the a telling argument is how both the humble creatures meeting the basic recruitment criterion to posts in the then BS-1 and 2 id est 8th class pass during 1986 and 2004 respectively besides additional experience of long tireless working that otherwise, unquestionably vested in them the right to a regular job were oppressively divested of it, laments Negehban Ali Sustik, the eldest son of Dostan Ali one of the affectees.
QUITE FLABBERGHASTINGLY, it gets unfolded how two poor souls, both hailing from the border villages in Upper Hunza were very callously made subject to mental agony by the authorities of former Collectorate of Customs, Central Ecise & Sales Tax, Rawalpindi firstly employing them in 1986 and 2004 respectively. The story brings forth and unveils the continuum of endless episodes of discrimination during the course of their lifelong service as contingent-paid employees – a term coined for those working as daily-wage-earners against a fixed remuneration that too remaining subject to periodic allocation of fund.
Eversince their appointments in the year 1986 and 2004 respectively, they have all along, interminably made subject to sheer arbitrariness resulting into the yawning financial troubles and multitude of other concomitant insurmountable problems obviously being in a quandary. The travails of their lives in the circumstances stem from their having constantly been singled out by the department for a discriminatory dispensation. The capital point is why such as a gross insensitivity was exhibited by blatantly denying to them the right to absorption against compatible regular positions in class-iv that caused vacant from time to time, during the late eighties and nineties dolefully tell Doostan Ali and Shamsher Ali.
The former discloses that he was preliminarily employed in the year 1986 to the menial of position at the lowest rung in what was called then the Basic Scale (BS.1) by then Collectorate of Customs,CE& ST Rawalpindi as he being an 8th class pass was eligible for appointment to any post in class-iv category in keeping with his eligibility and compatibility for appointment to any of the class-iv category posts in conformity with the criteria then enforceable for recruitment to any position. It got divulged that he was then posted at Customs Station Sost where he was allowed pay and allowance against the regular budget but ironically, the orders concerning his regular appointment to the grade-1 posts under reference were soon quite nonchalantly and oppressively withdrawn a year later in a questionable manner after paying him out of regular budget thereby consigning him to the present state to stuck in limbo ad infinitum, against the position of what is called the 'Contingent Paid Staff" – a term standing for and connoting a daily-wage-earner whose continuity in the job remains subject to and squarely dependant on the availability of a specific periodic allocation funds besides nonaccrual of modicum of annual increment whatsoever.
It transpired that the services of Doostan Ali were needed continuously and uninterruptedly by the department – something continuing till to-date while he is being constantly denied regular job and the privileges attached to it, which is indeed, a classic example speaking eloquently of grotesque injustice and insensitivity that persists and is still going on unabated. It is equally worth noting that in eighties, nineties and until sometimes after in the later decade, the basic minimum qualification for a post in BS.2 or, to put it, the class-iv position, was 'middle pass' – something both the aggrieved employee fulfilled. But sadly, all the regular posts in BS.1&2 that fell vacant during the course within the jurisdiction of the department were filled by appointment of outsiders instead of giving them due opportunity demonstrating a naked display of waywardness and oppressiveness as will be borne out by the record of those periods.
The other namely Shamsher Ali tells the story that he was appointed as Contingent Paid Staff in the year 2004 while he too, continues to works till today without any single day's break or interruption while facing the same fate as does the former. Eventually, the fate of both hangs in balance as they are in doldrums for having constantly been denied to them the right to regular job on the flimsy pretexts obviously by mishandling their cases of absorption by regularizing their services retrospectively in consonance with the decision of the Cabinet Sub-Committee formed during the PPP government.
It is also pertinent to make a mention to the effect that both the aggrieved persons while serving with all devotion, dedication and sincerity albeit they have all along been making relentless efforts as well, to seek redress to their grievances by way of submitting a series of applications for their absorption against regular positions but none of these fetched any tangible result as every time fizzled out proving an exercise in futility altogether. The requests though formally sent/recommended to the higher authorities in Rawalpindi, only evoked a vaguely expressed, stereotyped evasive reply from above that the 'case would considered whenever a vacancy may cause'. The authorities were remarkably vague about what exactly this should mean as it happened that all posts of Chowkidars, Sepoys etc. then carrying B.1&2 respectively falling vacant during this period were secretly and rather surreptitiously filled by direct recruitment to the detriment of the applicants – something the records pertaining to the eighties, nineties and 2000s lying with the authorities may very well testify as to how blatantly and unjustly these post were filled by way of direct recruitment while depriving above contingent-paid-employees of their right to adjustment/absorption/appointment to the these regular positions in flagrant violation and manifest disregard of the principle of natural justice.
Even in the aftermath of the Cabinet-Sub-Committee' under reference's decision requiring unhindered processing of cases for regularization, both Dostan Ali and Shamsher Ali's cases are hanging in balance and shelved with the reason being told by MCC GB that posts like Sepoys now placed in upgraded scale i.e B.5 while educational qualification for the rest of posts too in class-iv is now prescribed as matriculation. This is notwithstanding the fact that both the employees' cases require regularization in an unhindered manner with retrospective effect i.e. from 1986 and 2004 and hence their qualification etc. at the time of their preliminary induction which then equated with and was attuned to the prevalent criteria of the times hence needs be considered as such for the purpose as the situation arose because of the injustice done to them by the authorities by not adjust both them in keeping with their qualification against compatible regular position of BS.1 or 2 which fell vacant from time to time in the Collectorate of Customs & Central Excise, Rawalpindi during eighties, nineties and subsequent decade.
Fallacious in method and incongruent to the underlying principles of natural justice, the spectacular nonchalance was exhibited particularly in the case of Dostan Ali by oppressively withdrawing his regular appointment order in BS.1 while adopting a continuous lackadaisical approach in the matter of his re-absorption without any regard for his conscientious working and irrespective of the fact that posts in B.1 and 2 kept falling vacant from 1987 onwards which were filled by recruiting outsiders directly against them during the interim period between 1980s and 1990s and 2000s. Thus the tangible position which emerges is in sum, that instead of adjusting those already working when both in the instant case, fulfilled the then prevailing terms and conditions for appointment becomingly retrospectively applicable in their case something bringing graphically to the foreground inadvertence, error, collusion or misconstruction on the part of the authorities.
It becomes manifestly clear how both were wittingly or unwittingly deprived of his legitimate right to regular position – something impinging on the fundamental rights. And quite strangely though, all those appointed to BS.1 and 2 posts during the course and had had equivalent qualification of 'middle' who have by the time, rendered 30 years pensionable service while the applicants are quite unjustly discriminated against and condemned to the position of the same 'daily-wage-earners' despite their lifelong services in the department. This all occasioned because of the nonchalance and gross insensitivity demonstrated by both the aggrieved persons, is in short, their story.
It is high time that cognizance is taken of the growing apathy of the concerned authorities that resulted into the sad plight of the both the aggrieved persons and order unhindered processing of their regularization cases for absorption into the regular category of employees retrospectively.
Doostan Ali disclosed that the total continuous service rendered by him gets reckoned with more or less about 32 years at a stretch without a single day's break while the other namely Shamsher Ali has put in about 14 years uninterrupted service in the department and both are still condemned to positions where they remains squeezed to for the last three decades receiving a meager (fixed) monthly amount as daily-wager while case of the former while the latter does the same for the last about 14 years at a stretch. How far is this true can become verifiable from the record of the Collectorate.
That had justice ever been done by the Respondents to them, they would legitimately been absorbed retrospectively against a regular position in B.1 or 2, periodical annual increments would have accrued to him over the preceding long period of time whilst entitling them to pensionary benefits as remains the case with all their peers who were appointed during the interim period bypassing them during eighties, nineties and 2000s, in the department.
The fore-going all necessitated an unhindered processing of their cases primarily for their adjustment horizontally and retrospectively, against any class-iv post long ago whenever posts fell vacant in eighties, nineties and the subsequent decade while at the very least, taking up the matter of regularization of their service in the wake of and pursuant to the Cabinet Sub-Committee's decision, in an unhindered manner, in keeping with their respective age and qualification of 'middle pass' as applicable in eighties, nineties and sometime afterward, for direct recruitment to positions in B.1&2 when they were preliminarily appointed in the year 1986 and 2004 respectively, as justice demands, they contend.


MIL passed away Monday at about 12:10 AM. SIL said it was quick. The funeral is Friday at 3:30.
At least she's not stuck in the bed, unable to do anything. And at least the Lord granted her a painless end.

Karel Thole (Carolus Adrianus Maria Thole; * 20. April 1914 in Bussum, Provinz Noord-Holland; † 26. März 2000 in Cannobio, Italien) war ein niederländischer Grafiker.

Leben und Wirken
Thole besuchte nach dem Abschluss der Mittelschule in Hilversum die staatliche Zeichenschule in Amsterdam. Eine Reise nach Italien im Jahr 1953 finanzierte er durch seine Zeichnungen. Danach arbeitete er als Titelbildillustrator teilweise für mehr als 20 Verlage. 1958 übersiedelte er nach Mailand. Er bekam Kontakt zum Verlag Arnoldo Mondadori Editore und erhielt den Auftrag, für dessen Science-Fiction-Serie Urania die Titelbilder zu zeichnen. Ab 1960 bestimmten seine phantastisch-surrealistischen, von Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí und René Magritte beeinflussten Bilder für 25 Jahre die Covergestaltung der Reihe.

Kurt Bernhardt, Chefredakteur beim Moewig-Verlag, verpflichtete ihn als Zeichner für die Vampir-Horrorroman-Reihe des Verlages. Er zeichnete 186 Titelbilder für die Reihe, davon durchgehend die der ersten 175 Nummern. Mit Titelbildern zu Werken von Philip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov, Thomas M. Disch und vielen anderen prägte er über viele Jahre hinweg das Gesicht der Science-Fiction-Literatur in Europa und vor allem in Deutschland. Auf dem Worldcon 1973 erhielt er einen Spezialpreis.

Home Town was our fifth song and following on the heels of Broken Rules, Cry the Night Away and Summer Flight, ideas for all of which had come to me relatively quickly, I decided to try a couple of experiments of my own.
The first experiment was not to settle for the very first "song story" idea that I came up with. Instead I wrote three sets of lyrics to the music, intending to let Annie choose which one she liked best. As it turned out she chose the one I thought was the strongest so there was no dispute. The benefit of this approach was it gave me confidence that my strongest idea also made the best song (that I was capable of writing).
My second experiment was to attempt to draw directly on whatever creative force had been driving me up until that point. With the earlier tracks I'd been playing them over and over until the words started to come, or an idea for a story suggested itself. This time, I opened a new document, got myself ready to type and then played the music straight through, the idea being to type the first thing that came into my mind as the music was playing. The only preparation I did was a few minutes' meditation, to try to connect with what you might call 'my muse.' I set the music playing, and started typing. At the end of the first run-through, I had written all but three lines of the song. I played the missing sections through again and after a few minutes, the right lines came to me. The whole process took little more than ten minutes for this song.
