Q: How to create an independent properties panel for bpmn-js in angularjs I am new to bpmn & js world :).
So far I manage to create and integrate custom elements and custom properties panel with bpmn-js modeler by following several examples in bpmn.io github projects.
But my requirement is to create a custom properties panel based on angularjs.
So the bpmn-js modeler and my custom properties panel will reside side by side in an
angularjs app.
My question is how to bind or attach my custom properties with the bpmn-js elements (i.e. start event) in the modeler and to make sure that my custom properties panel will behave exactly same as bpmnjs or camunda properties panel.
Any suggestion would be helpful.

Elon Musk defiantly defends himself in Tesla Tweet Trial
SAN FRANCISCO (TSTIME) — Elon Musk returned to federal court to defend against a class action lawsuit alleging he misled Tesla shareholders with a tweet about an aborted buyout that the billionaire defiantly maintained Tuesday he could have succeeded if he had wanted to.
Musk spent about three more hours on the stand during his third day of testimony before being excused by U.S. District Judge Edward Chen. It is unlikely that the 51-year-old Musk will be called to the witness stand at a civil trial that is expected to be turned over to a nine-member jury in early February.
Musk, who also owns Twitter while continuing to run Tesla, spent much of Tuesday portraying himself as he was questioned by his own lawyer, Alex Spiro, as an impeccably trustworthy business leader capable of to raise as much money as he needs to pursue his visions. He sparred violently with a shareholder attorney, Nicholas Porritt, who had expressed anger earlier in the trial.
On two separate occasions Tuesday, under Spiro's gentle prodding, Musk left no doubt about his contempt for Porritt with a comment questioning whether the lawyer was looking out for the best interests of Tesla shareholders. The comments were swiftly reprimanded by the judge and struck off the record. "It's inappropriate," Chen Musk admonished at one point.
When challenged by Porritt, Musk purposefully averted his gaze from the attorney and gave his explanation while looking straight at the jurors seated a few feet to his right. In another instance, without elaborating further, Musk claimed that a question asked by Porritt who wondered if he had ever caused investors to suffer losses contained "untruths."

On the other hand, Spiro at one point mistakenly addressed Musk as "your honor" while asking the billionaire how much money he had made for investors during his career. The oversight sparked a moment of levity in the San Francisco courtroom, filled with media outlets and other onlookers gathered to listen to Musk, who has become even more famous since completing his $44 billion purchase of Twitter in October.
The current lawsuit hinges on whether a pair of tweets Musk posted on Aug. 7, 2018, damaged Tesla shareholders during a 10-day period prior to his admission that the buyout he envisioned would not happen. The statements led to Musk and Tesla reaching the $40 million settlement without admitting any wrongdoing.
In the first of 2018's tweets, Musk stated "funding assured" for what would have been a $72 billion — or $420 per share — buyout of Tesla at a time when the electric carmaker was still struggling with production issues and worth much less than it is today. Musk followed up with another tweet a few hours later suggesting a deal was imminent.
After those tweets, Musk stated that Tesla would remain in public for a few weeks after that. A month later, Musk and Tesla reached a $40 million settlement with securities regulators who claimed the tweets were misleading.
Musk has previously claimed he entered into the settlement under duress and claims he never wavered in his belief that he had the money for a deal.

Musk spent most of Tuesday trying to convince the jurors that there was nothing devious about the two tweets that indicated he had lined up the money to take Tesla private, as the electric car maker faced production problems and was worth much less than it is now. The judge has already ruled that the jurors can consider those two tweets false, leaving them to decide whether Musk deliberately misled investors and whether his statements left them with losses.
While directed by Spiro, Musk told jurors he had only stated that he was "considering" a Tesla acquisition, but never promised a deal would be made. But, Musk said, he felt it was important to alert investors that Tesla is about to end its eight-year run as a publicly traded company.
"I had no bad motive," Musk said. "It was my intention to do the right thing for all shareholders."
While grilled by Porritt the day before, Musk was belligerent, outraged and annoyed at times. Throughout it all, Musk has insisted he lock in financial support for what would have been a $72 billion buyout of Tesla in 2018 meetings with Saudi public investment fund representatives, though no specific funding amount or price was specified. discussed.
When he received texts and emails indicating that a Saudi fund representative had never pledged the money for a full buyout of Tesla, Musk claimed it was nothing more than the words of someone trying to back out on an earlier promise made in private conversations.
See also Swedish EU Presidency at the mercy of Eurosceptics – TSTIME – 01/12/2023
Not long after Porritt resumed his questioning on Tuesday, Musk again scoffed at the idea that his belief that he had the financial backing of Saudi funding wasn't enough for him to tweet about a potential Tesla takeover.
"We are talking about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," Musk testified. "They can buy Tesla multiple times. This was not a big amount for them."
Musk also repeated previous testimony that he could fund a Tesla buyout by sharing some of his stake in SpaceX, a private rocket ship maker he also started. That would be similar to what he did when he bought Twitter, which saw him sell about $23 billion of his Tesla stock.
That's something Musk said Tuesday he didn't want to do, but showed he had the resources to pull together purchases for expensive deals. Musk's ownership of Twitter has also proved unpopular with Tesla shareholders who worry he will be distracted as the automaker faces more competition. Tesla stock has lost about a third of its value since Musk took over Twitter.
Despite that downturn, the stock is still worth about seven times what it was at the time of Musk's tweets in 2018, after adjusting for two splits that have since occurred. That opened the door for Musk to remind jurors on Tuesday that any investor who owned Tesla stock in August 2018 would have done "exceedingly well" had they simply held on to the stock.
"It would have been the best investment in the stock market," Musk said.

ItB: What gave you the idea for The Hopper Hill Family?
Erika Castiglione: I have three children ranging from eight to twelve years old. Most of their lives, we have lived far from extended family (Including 4 years overseas). I have wondered from time to time what life would be like for them if something happened to my husband and me, but I didn't plan on writing a story about blending families. Earlier this year, I started a novel for adults that just wasn't working. A friend read some of what I had started and commented that the voice of the teenager in the story was the strongest and most compelling. I nixed the novel and started over with Piper and her desire for siblings. The rest of the story took shape from there.
ItB: Are you planning on writing more books with these characters, in this setting? Or is this a stand-alone?
EC: I started working on a sequel to this story last week when my children went back to school. I have been scribbling down notes in my journal all summer when a scene, conversation, or question would come to me, and I look forward to getting back to the characters I've grown to love. I didn't necessarily intend for The Hopper-Hill Family to be the first in a series when I wrote it, but I'm not ready to say good-bye to their family yet.
ItB: So, what gets your creative juices flowing? Describe your writing process to us.
EC: I try to write in two hour blocks, five times a week. I always begin with journaling my thoughts and prayers before I move on to the book. I normally work better away from home, at my local library or in a coffee shop. Often, I will think of one more sentence or something I want to change on the drive home from wherever I am writing and I'll finish up at the kitchen table.
ItB: Why did you choose self-publishing? What are some of the best parts of self-pub? Some of the worst?
EC: I spent a lot of time researching the pros and cons of both traditional publishing and self-publishing. In the end, I went with self-publishing so that I could go ahead and get the book out, as opposed to the long wait involved in querying agents and publishers. The best part of self-publishing is getting the book into the hands of readers sooner. However, it is a lot of work! Thankfully, I had help with editing, copy-editing, and design. The biggest con is that it is harder to get self-published books into bookstores and to promote on a larger scale.
Thanks for your time, Erika — we appreciate it! Again, Erika has just published her novel The Hopper Hill Family. Be sure to read our review, and you can find the book at Amazon. If you're interested in learning more, you can find her website here. Thanks for reading!

The extended secondary school, officially twelve-class general educational polytechnic secondary school, abbreviation EOS, was the standard institution of higher education in the education system of East Germany. It finished with the final examination called Reifeprüfung /Abitur (A-Level) at the end of the 12th grade, granting the Reifezeugnis, the certificate of eligibility for university entrance. The school structure was a four-class comprehensive school without any internal or external differentiation. The EOS was established in 1959 to replace the hitherto existing Oberschule as laid down by the Act on Socialistic Development of the School System in the German Democratic Republic effective December 2, 1959. The designation Gymnasium was not common in East Germany.

History of the EOS

School organization

Compulsory teaching and school life

Tables of lessons

The Ministry of Education determined a table of lessons (Stundentafel) which was mandatory for all extended secondary schools. Like for the Polytechnic Secondary Schools there was one uniform, systemic curriculum, also mandatory for all extended secondary schools. One lesson lasted 45 minutes and students went to school six days a week, from Monday to Saturday. On Saturdays, there were approximately five to six lessons.

Transitory table of lessons 1959
This table of lessons was effective until the reform of the existing Oberschule was finished and the newly established extended secondary schools were fully operational under the altered conditions.

Standard table of lessons 1961

Compulsory teaching had to follow this standard table of lessons when the transformation process was finished and all requirements could be met by the school, for instance, the number of teachers, number of educators, teaching equipment and so forth.

Standard table of lessons 1982
Starting in 1982 EOS incorporated 11th and 12th grade only.

Film season review: Anguish and Enthusiasm
Article published: Tuesday, May 28th 2013
What do you do with your revolution once you've got it? This is the question that the Cornerhouse's latest art exhibition and film season attempts to grapple with.

Beyond the heady days of popular uprising and the promises of utopia, how is the difficult process of making these dreams realised (or not), what (or who is) sacrificed and when is the revolution over?
As the Arab Spring slips deeper into tragedy and the memories of Occupy dissolves into fresh rounds of austerity, the need to think through the complex dimensions of revolutions is an important task for society. The exhibition features 11 artists, four of them new commissions, all hoping to help us do that. The exhibition consists of sculpture, film and photography with one noteworthy highlight being Michelangelo Antonioni's documentary on the Cultural Revolution Chung Kuo, Cina.
Another is a mural on the wall of Cinema 1 by Trust Your Struggle, an Oakland based art collective, commemorating Oscar Grant, who was a fatal victim of racist police brutality in 2009. Although there are some strong pieces in the exhibition, visitors may find some of the work slightly esoteric. In a recent Q&A session co-curator Declan Clarke told the story of being advised at the entrance to the exhibition to not bother with it as "there's nothing worth seeing up there"!
While the exhibition touches on most continents there is a strong focus on Eastern European and Chinese experiments. These cover the entire cycle of the Marxist-Leninist experience, first grappling with the optimism and social struggles unleashed by the Russian revolution (Tsar to Lenin) before attempting to explain life under these regimes in Antonioni's film as mentioned above and the visually stunning The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu. Finally, the season attempts to grasp the resurgence of popular power at the collapse of the Soviet experiment. In East of Bucharest Corneliu Porumboiu attempts to tease out the complexities of the collapse of the Soviet Bloc.
At a recent Q&A about the exhibition (where Peter Lalor's wonderful Incident Urbain recieved a North-West premiere) Co-curator Sarah Perks suggested that we were perhaps still too close to the Arab Spring to see good artworks being produced from it. While the exhibition contains no direct references to the Arab Spring, Anguish and Enthusiasm will be continuing with a selection of Arab films on the topic starting on Sunday 2 June with Winter of Discontent dealing with state repression in Mubarak's Egypt.
Almost 100 years after the Russian revolution the concept of revolution is still as complicated and enigmatic. The curators of Anguish and Enthusiasm should be commended for tackling such an immense and socially relevant theme. While the exhibition might not be for everybody it offers several approaches onto a topic which, five years into a crisis which began in 2008, is as important as it ever has been.

Anguish and Enthusiasm is curated by Sarah Perks and Declan Clarke and runs until 18 August. For more information head to the Cornerhouse website at www.cornerhouse.org

Halloween creatures invade Manchester early: chance to win two tickets to the Illuminaughty Halloween party!
A heavy mist suddenly falls on a darkened Manchester hiding from sight unspeakably hideous creatures. Drums can be heard in the distance lulling you into a hypnotic trance, the work of witches and daemons no doubt. Or perhaps Voodoo ring masters, descending onto the city streets armed with psychedelic beats banged out by their armies of musical Goblins possessed with the desire for mischief and fun. It must be that time of year again; it can only be the Illuminaughty Halloween party.
Science Slam: a synergy of science and poetry transcends expectations
Poetry and science are two things generally not associated with each other, in fact if you joined the two in a word association test you would be one step closer to a chemical cosh and your very own padded cell. However the audience attending the Science Slam at the packed out Nexus Art Cafe Thursday night will never again doubt the validity of the two pursuits being combined; though I can't rule out they may end up bouncing of the walls of a padded cell at some time in the future.
Review: Greater Manchester Fringe Festival – A Dream Play
We were outside Nexus Art Café in the Northern Quarter, queuing, when a car raced up, the driver shoved a woman to the pavement and the performance began. This was the introduction to the character Aggie in A Dream Play by the Déjà Vu Ensemble, daughter of the gods, who has come to our world to learn what it means to be human.

Motorola to introduce a TV alongside its Moto Tab 8 in India
Motorola is expected to unveil its Moto Tab 8 tablet in India on October 1 and according to some inside info, the company is planning to unveil a TV alongside it.
The Moto Tab 8 is just a re-branded Lenovo Tab M8 (FHD) that was released globally two years ago and will go for INR 13,999 on Flipkart. The more intriguing part is the TV, which for now remains a mystery. We don't have any info regarding the feature set or even the screen diagonal.
But if Motorola's TV lineup from 2019 is any indication, we can expect 32″, 45″, 50″, 55″ and 65″ options running Android TV OS. Back then they were pretty aggressively priced so we are looking forward to the new sets matching that.

I was really excited when I heard Davis Square was getting a falafel restaurant and after my first visit to Amsterdam Falafelshop, I'm even happier that this eatery has found its way to Somerville.
The way you order at Amsterdam reminds me a lot of Chipotle in that there are only a few choices with the prices clearly outlined. This simple system leaves little room for errors and speeds the whole process along. Amsterdam is very vegetarian/vegan friendly, the meals are quite affordable (and large) and it's open until midnight, making it a great spot for lunch, dinner or late-night dining.
At Amsterdam, you can choose from a small or large pita, the difference being the number of falafel balls in each one, or a bowl (which you can get with a pita on the side). The falafel is fried right when you order, so it's hot and fresh. I'm not a huge fan of fried food, but these falafel were amazing–super crunchy and crisp on the outside yet still moist and tender on the inside–and not greasy at all. The pita is also nice and soft and doesn't overpower the sandwich.
After you get your falafel, the real fun begins. Amsterdam has a huge toppings bar full of everything from tangy pickles to spicy sauces. After crushing your falafel balls to make more room in the pita (as instructed by the helpful signs on the toppings bar), pile on the toppings. I tried a smattering of things and they all worked perfectly together, providing a cool, zesty contrast to the hot falafel. You might want to leave a tiny bit of room on your pita as there are even more sauces available after you pay.
Speaking of paying, it seems that Amsterdam has thought of everything, as they have neat little stands to rest your unwieldy pita in while digging for your cash or credit card. Amsterdam has fries and brownies to go with your meal, though the pitas are huge, especially when piled high with tasty toppings, so I had to forgo either on my visit. There's also fountain or canned drinks and lemonade to wash your meal down. The small shop has a few tables inside or if it's a nice day, I recommend taking your pita outside to one of the picnic tables in Davis. But bring some napkins, as this is one messy meal!

It's sadly really overpriced for falafel, and I didn't think it was all that good compared to that place in Central. I wish falafel were as popular and cheap here as it is in NYC.

Jingpo Lake is a freshwater located in the southernmost part of Northeast China (43°45'-44°03'N, 128°48'-129°03'E). The lake is a drinking water source at the headwaters of the Mudan River. Although studies of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the lake increased in recent years, the relationship between plankton and environmental factors, and the ability to indicate the nutrient status of the water mass remain to be understood deeply. Therefore, studies of the plankton community in different seasons are necessary. We scrutinized the plankton composition, diversity, and eight environmental factors in spring (May) and summer (July), in which 152 phytoplankton taxa and 38 zooplankton taxa were identified. Plankton community mainly consisted of Chlorophyta, Diatom, Rotifera, and Protozoa. The dominated species were Actinastrum fluviatile (Schroed.) Fott, Cyclotella meneghiniana Kütz., Nitzschia palea (Kütz.) W. Smith, Asplanchna priodonta, Keratella cochlearis, and Difflugia urceolata. Quantitative analysis revealed that the plankton abundance has been descended (P<0.05) in recent years. The water temperature (WT), pH, SpCond (specific conductance), and TN (total nitrogen) presented significant seasonal differences (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The relationship between plankton community and eight environmental factors were calculated in the Spearman correlation analysis and redundancy analysis. Multivariable statistics analysis showed that the plankton community structure was clearly affected by WT and SpCond. SpCond was a key factor on phytoplankton community composition in most of the sampling sties in spring, while WT mainly affected the zooplankton community composition in summer. The results highlight the importance of plankton community as an indicator to the environmental change in temperate zone lakes. In addition, the phytoplankton composition remained quite stable in the past 10 years but a slight change in the zooplankton community. The lake was in mesotrophic status as indicated by the comprehensive trophic state index (TLI). Therefore, no deterioration trend of water quality was found at present.

As more and more Production Directors now get to pick their own workstations, it is becoming more advantageous to the station to send their Production Directors to the NAB show, at least for one day, to check out everything that's available, with "knowledgeable and friendly" representatives there to answer your every question and offer demos.
Drawing what seemed to be the largest crowds in the DAW arena was ORBAN. The company unveiled Audicy, the follow-up to the popular DSE-7000FX. Audicy retains practically all the features of the DSE and adds a bunch more. New features include 24-track/10-channel operation which provides 24 individual tracks with the ability to play up to ten of them at once. The new hardware controller panel is much improved with speed and ease of use as primary objectives. Separate rotary knobs are provided for user-assignable control of submix sends, aux outputs, pan, and effects parameters. Not only do you get a 2 gig internal drive standard, but the popular 1 gigabyte Jaz drive can also be used for storage, providing portability and unlimited storage capabilities. Audicy accommodates SMPTE time code functions with an optional card ($1,950) for complete support of audio-for-video production. The price tag remains the same as the DSE's, $19,950 for a complete system. Look for a Test Drive soon. Also on display was Orban's new AirTime on-air digital delivery system. The system offers four hardware interfaces for adapting operation to the work habits of different personnel including "computerphobic" on-air staff. The Sound Cube cart machine emulator mimics familiar analog cart decks and fits in the same rack space. The Sound Slate gives on-air staff instant access to sound libraries with up to 99 scenes available for push-button recall. The Sound Screen interface uses touch-screen technology, and traditional keyboard/mouse workstations are available for production, program entry and traffic management tasks. AirTime is built around QNX, a true real-time, multi-user and multi-tasking computer operating system running on a Pentium/PCI computer. (510) 351-3500, fax 510/351-0500, www.orban.com.
PACIFIC RESEARCH & ENGINEERING unveiled Integrity, their new digital on-air console. This futuristic looking console features a pure digital signal path with a parallel analog subsystem for fail-safe operation. A flat computer screen replaces conventional metering and provides access to the console's extensive features including computer control of board configurations with set/save/recall functions. The 16-channel console offers on-board EQ and DSP voice processing, 2 dedicated mic inputs, 4 mic/line analog inputs, 10 stereo digital inputs (switchable to analog), 2 program busses, and more. Each of the 16 channels has a 10-character LED channel ID. Together with the configuration save/recall functions, the console can store any number of setups for various shows, automatically switching inputs and renaming the channel IDs. PR&E's new affordable AirWave analog on-air console and new QuikBilt studio furniture were also on display. Getting much less attention but a lot more interesting than studio furniture was a little black box sitting off to the side of PR&E's booth. About the size of a cart machine, the box was labeled "SoundFire by PR&E." The box is a prototype of something brand new and on the horizon. The only literature being handed out was a small slip of paper that simply said "This new IEEE 1394 or FireWire compliant audio engine provides professional audio broadcasters the capability for controlling multiple streams of digital audio from a Microsoft Windows NT server workstation." Keep your eyes and ears open. FireWire is a new standard for communication between computer peripherals. It is going to replace standard serial and parallel cables between your computer devices, and to the audio world, the future looks simply amazing. Check out the 1394 Trade Association's Web site for more info on FireWire at www.firewire.org, or Adaptec's Web site at www.adaptec.com. Adaptec has a big hand in the future of FireWire or IEEE 1394. And keep an eye on PR&E; it appears they will be on the leading edge of this technology when it hits. 619/438-3911, www.pre.com.
360 SYSTEMS new Shortcut was on display and it was announced that the unit will now interface with the Gentner TS612 Multi-Line On-Air Telephone System for automatic activation of the Shortcut's recording functions from the TS612. Test Drive comin'! Also new from 360 is the DigiCart/II Plus. The new model features storage on both internal and removable disks. Along with two internal drives, you can also use the popular Iomega Zip disks. Existing DigiCart/II models can be upgraded to the Plus model. 818/991-0360, fax 818/991-1360, www.360systems.com.
SOUNDSCAPE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY was showing off the new Version 2.0 Software for their SSHDR1 workstation. The new 32-bit software requires the addition of the SSAC-1 Accelerator Card, which means that existing units can be upgraded. The new SSHDR1-Plus basically offers the new software and Accelerator Card as standard. The new card and software multiply the processing power of the system and offer an additional eight channels of I/O in the Tascam Digital Interface format (TDIF) for a total of ten inputs and 12 outputs. The optional SS8I/O is a rack-mount unit that connects to the TDIF connector to provide D/A and A/D conversion with eight inputs and eight outputs on balanced XLR connectors. The new software itself looked pretty awesome and offers high-powered digital multitrack recording/editing in a user-friendly environment that certainly warrants checking out. So, we've added this to our Test Drive list also! 805/658-7375, fax 805/658-6395, www.soundscape-digital.com.
SONIC SOLUTIONS unveiled their new Sonic OnAir family of Mac-based digital audio workstations and servers designed for broadcast production. The family of systems includes RecordCentral, designed for recording "intake." RecordCentral can record up to four independent stereo feeds simultaneously on a single workstation, with timecode. Journalist Editor is geared for editing voice tracks and production of newscasts. Broadcast Producer is the multitrack workstation featuring 144 virtual tracks, real-time crossfades, 24-bit mixing, background recording, copy/paste editing, drag-and-drop sound placement, real-time EQ, real-time sample rate conversion and more. This is a scaled-down version of the popular SonicStudio. PlayServer is the on-air device which plays back EDLs in manual, live-assist, or fully automated modes with up to four stereo outputs. 415/893-8023, fax 415/893-8008, www. sonic.com.
The SPECTRAL booth was hoppin' with new software for their celebrated Producer and Express workstations. Both systems operate on Spectral's Prisma card for Windows PCs. Express Version 1.5 is designed for simple spot production, news and feature editing, and voice editing. Express is a scaled down version of Producer. Producer Version 2.5 offers additional screens or "panels" for more complex production. Both software packages are designed to run under Windows 95 and Windows NT. Both upgrades feature improvements to editing operations and are more efficient at handling larger amounts of storage media and more complex projects. 206/487-2931, fax 206/487-3431, www. spectralinc.com.
ALESIS was making waves with their new Meridian 20-bit ADAT Type II-format multitrack recorder. This is a high-end ADAT with built-in SMPTE/EBU time code synchronization. You get eight tracks of 20-bit linear digital audio utilizing high-resolution oversampling A/D and D/A converters that boast a dynamic range higher than any currently implemented into modular digital multitrack recorders. 16-bit recording/playback is selectable.

Is 'Beetlejuice' a 'Perfect' Musical?
How did an Australian comedian and songwriter with a penchant for dropping the F-bomb land one of Broadway's most coveted jobs?
Nicole Hertvik
Beetlejuice opens at the National Theatre this month, featuring the work of a tightknit team of American theater professionals – and one Australian that none of them had ever heard of.
The show's composer and lyricist, Eddie Perfect, a self-deprecating Australian songwriter and political comedian with a penchant for the F-bomb, is a known commodity in his native Australia. Compositions like his "Don't Kill Yourself" or "Drink Pepsi, Bitch" suggest that he shares the penchant for "dark whimsy" that Beetlejuice Director Alex Timbers envisions for the new musical based on the iconic 1988 Tim Burton film.

But in the US, where Beetlejuice came to life, he was an unknown. So when the opportunity came to write a few songs for the project, Perfect figured that, at best, it would be an opportunity to get his music under Alex Timbers' nose.
Instead, before he had met a single member of the creative team, Perfect got the job.
"I couldn't believe they hired me," he said at a recent press briefing at the National Theatre. "No one knew anything about me or my past in Australia. They just liked the material, which is incredible."
Of course, there is more to the story.
It was 2013 and Eddie Perfect was enjoying great success as a songwriter, actor, and political comedian in Australia. He even had a stint judging Australian Idol. But something was missing.
Despite a lifetime of hometown success, Perfect felt the pull of Broadway. "Broadway is what got me interested in performing arts in the first place," he said. Specifically, it was the 1982 recording of Angela Lansbury and George Hearn in Sweeney Todd that turned him on to musicals. "My dad put the tape on in the Kombi van during a camping trip and I was like 'What the f*ck is this?' I was hooked."
Perfect despaired that Australia didn't make a lot of original musicals and he longed to break into the American theater scene. Finally, his wife Lucy intervened. "She told me to just buy a bloody ticket and go to New York," Perfect said. So he did.
Perfect didn't know anyone in New York but he started visiting and looking for an agent. "I would just sort of walk around the city and take the odd meeting and fly home," he said.
But he did eventually find an agent, and a good one: John Buzzetti at WME Entertainment, who Perfect says listened to his stuff and liked it "even though it was Australian." Perfect knew Beetlejuice was floating around without a composer yet, "but they were pitching all these sort of fancy-pants Broadway writers, so I assumed they wouldn't let anyone else in, much less an Australian that no one had ever heard of."

So he offered to write a few songs for Beetlejuice for free. It wouldn't cost the producers any time or money, so they agreed, sending him the script and asking him to write two songs: One to be sung by the show's narrator, Beetlejuice, and one for the character of Lydia, whose emotional arc is the center of the musical.
The Beetlejuice creative team knew they had found their composer the minute they heard Perfect's Beetlejuice song. "That song answered a major question for us as writers," Book writer Scott Brown said.
Brown and co-writer Anthony King had been stuck wondering what Beetlejuice would sound like when he sang. "You have this character that is all anarchy and nothing earnest. What happens when he stops to sing his feelings? Is that going to be terrible?" King recalled. "Then Eddie wrote this song and we were all like oh, ok, that's it. It can work after all."
The song that earned Eddie Perfect his first Broadway job is currently the show's opening number. "We'll see if it sticks," Perfect said, acknowledging that things can change quickly when a show is in previews.
Perfect describes the song – which still hasn't been given a title since the show is just in previews – as based in surprise. "Surprise was the element that was pitched to me in terms of the design elements and the storyline" in Brown and King's script. "Beetlejuice's humor and danger and energy stem from the fact that he is multiple things inside one house. Things would turn on a dime." Applied musically, this means that Beetlejuice (played by School of Rock alumn Alex Brightman), would be able to sing across genres. The song's got everything from a Latin requiem mass, to ska, to folk, to death metal, to big band swing, to jazz. "It's all loopy," Perfect says with a shrug.
The composer is still surprised that a major Broadway-bound production took a risk on him. "I mean, I could have been a f*cking psychopath or had 72 people in a warehouse writing songs for me. They never checked. They were just like, 'we like your stuff. You're hired.' "
Coincidentally, Perfect will be making his Broadway debut not once this season, but twice. While Beetlejuice plays its five-week run in DC, King Kong, which Perfect was subsequently hired to compose, is in previews at New York's Broadway Theater. "It's a bit of a fast and furious time," with lots of trips between New York and DC, Perfect said. "But this is what I signed up for so I can't complain."
Beetlejuice plays through November 18th, 2018 at the National Theatre – 1321 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, in Washington, DC. For tickets, call the box office at (202) 628-6161 or go online.

Wall Street banks net record fees for pandemic fundraisings
cityinsider June 29, 2020
Investment banking fees soared to a record $57bn in the first six months of the year, boosted by a series of lucrative debt sales as companies grabbed cash to tide them through the coronavirus crisis.
Emergency financings by carmaker Ford, cruise line operator Carnival and aerospace and defence group Boeing were among the fundraisings that provided multimillion-dollar paydays for Wall Street banks that found investors willing to stump up the money.
Debt capital markets bankers were particularly busy after the US Federal Reserve took action to shore up credit markets following the spread of the pandemic across the US. Companies, countries and other organisations have raised more than $7.8tn by borrowing in bond and loan markets and selling shares this year, according to financial data provider Refinitiv.
The boom in debt fees more than offset the decline in bank income from advising on mergers and acquisitions as dealmaking slowed.
Morgan Stanley chief executive James Gorman this month told his bank's financials conference that M&A was "basically dead" for the second half of the year. "I'm not worried about that, that's just a cyclical thing, that'll flow through just fine in time," he said.
Total investment banking fees are up 9 per cent from the first half of 2019, according to Refinitiv. That includes a 30 per cent jump in revenues from underwriting bonds and a 37 per cent rise in fees tied to stock sales.
The total of $57bn for the first half beats the $54.9bn haul of 2018 and the $53.9bn of 2007.
The biggest investment banks in the US have been the main beneficiaries, with the top five — JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley — generating $18.3bn in fees. That represents the second-highest market share the group has achieved in the past decade.
David Solomon, the chief executive of Goldman Sachs, told a conference last week that the bank had benefited from the acceleration in capital raising in the first half of the year, noting that many of the bank's clients had brought forward plans to raise money.
"The more interesting question is trying to guess as to how this will . . . play out over the next six to 12 months and that's harder to say because there's still a lot of uncertainty," he said.
The biggest fee packages included $119m paid to the group of banks that helped T-Mobile borrow $19bn to fund its takeover of Sprint, according to Refinitiv. There were also $50m-plus fees on jumbo bond offerings from AT&T, Walt Disney, Ford, Carnival and bankrupt utility Pacific Gas & Electric.
Equity raisings have also been a fruitful source of income, generating $11.6bn in fees for banks around the world in the best start to a year since 2015. The figures were boosted by revenues on secondary stock sales, which included a $159m fee on PNC Financial's sale of its stake in fund manager BlackRock in May and a $67m commission on Sanofi's sale of half its stake in Regeneron.
"It is clear that Covid and the lockdowns globally have played a key role in equity issuance across the spectrum," said Achintya Mangla, global co-head of equity capital markets for JPMorgan.
Despite the fee bonanza, shares in the big US banks have been hit hard by the recession, which has prompted lenders to set aside tens of billions of dollars to cover potential loan losses. The closely followed KBW banks index is down about 35 per cent this year, much worse than the 6 per cent decline of the broader market.

The Deep State Swamp
By Atom Bergstrom
Atom's Blog
According to Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) …
"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes."
Mike Lofgren (The Deep State: The Fall of the Constitution and the Rise of a Shadow Government, 2016) wrote ..
"The Deep State does not consist of the entire government. It is a hybrid of national security and law enforcement agencies, plus key parts of the other branches whose roles give them membership."
For example …
Executive Office of the President of the National Security Council
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court
District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia
District Court in Southern District of Manhattan
some members of the Defense and Intelligence committees
According to the same source (Mike Lofgren) …
"While the government may be obsequiously attentive to the desires of all corporate entities, this governmental complex (Deep State] I have described is even more intimately connected by a web of money, mutual goals, and careerism to specific and very powerful elements of corporate America. These elements include the military-industrial complex, Wall Street, and — surprising as it may sound to some — Silicon Valley (one former NSA insider told me the spy agencies are completely dependent on Silicon Valley's technology, communications backbones, and cooperation to even begin to perform their mission)."
Jason Reza Jorjani prefers the term "military-industrial-surveillance complex."
The recent SolarWinds hack is being blamed on Iran or Russia.
It's any excuse for a war.
Who's really responsible? Silicon Valley.
Brian Krebs ("U.S. Treasury, Commerce Depts. Hacked Through SolarWinds Compromise," Krebs on Security, Dec. 14, 2020) wrote …
"Communications at the U.S. Treasury and Commerce Departments were reportedly compromised by a supply chain attack on SolarWinds, a security vendor that helps the federal government and a range of Fortune 500 companies monitor the health of their IT networks. Given the breadth of the company's customer base, experts say the incident may be just the first of many such disclosures."
Who is Mike Lofgren?
He popularized the term Deep State, referring to a "web of entrenched interests in the US government and beyond (most notably Wall Street and Silicon Valley, which controls access to our every click and swipe) that dictate America's defense decisions, trade policies and priorities with little regard for the actual interests or desires of the American people."
Greg Myre ("The Man Who Popularized The 'Deep State' Doesn't Like The Way It's Used," NPR, Nov. 6, 2019) wrote …
"Lofgren says he first encountered the term in a spy novel A Delicate Truth by John le Carre, who describes the hidden power brokers at work in Great Britain.
"Now it pops up everywhere."
Will the Beltway swamp ever be drained?
It gets deeper and swampier with every Administration, no exception for the outgoing one and no chance of an exception for the incoming one.
According to Pat Buchanan (2000) …
"Neither Beltway party is going to drain this swamp: it's a protected wetland; they breed in it, they spawn in it."
The swamp isn't confined to the Potomac.
It's worldwide, and its global architects are American.
Patrick J. Hearden ("Architects of Globalism: Building a New World Order During World War II." 2002) wrote …
"The State Department during Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration assumed primary responsibility for the formulation of American plans for the post-world War II world."
According to the same source …
"The outbreak of war in Europe gave American leaders cause for grave concern. Almost immediately after Adolf Hitler ordered his Wehrmacht to invade Poland on 1 September 1939, government officials and business executives in the United States began asking vitally important questions about how the military conflict would affect American economic and strategic interests. They also started contemplating the kind of international order that the United States would wish to see established following the termination of hostilities."
"Like their predecessors in the White House and State Department, Truman and [Secretary of State James F.] Byrnes hoped that both the British and the Russians would be compelled by their need for postwar-reconstruction aid from the United States to support American proposals for the creation of a new world order."

YELLOW FAT DISEASE DIARY #8 —> This is my TWELFTH e-book about Yellow Fat Disease (progressive lipofuscinosis). The Omega 3 Deception is worldwide and currently involves Big Pharma, not just dietary supplement gangsters. (Supplement wholesalers selling fish oil and related products should be in jail.) Now in 2020, Big Pharma is seriously in the game. Drug companies are already selling two EPA / DHA drugs at exorbitant prices — about US $3.00 a capsule. As of this year, eighty-eight (88) new EPA / DHA drugs are in the pipeline. Also, included in this volume, are more new and old revelations about the DHA / EPA / ALA Scam, including the clear and present dangers of fermented cod liver oil — and the straight scoop on the latest FCLO scandal.

Die Bahnstrecke Strullendorf–Ebrach ist eine nur noch teilweise in Betrieb befindliche Nebenbahn in Bayern. Sie zweigt in Strullendorf von der Bahnstrecke Nürnberg–Bamberg ab und führte über Frensdorf und Burgebrach nach Ebrach. Als Teil der sogenannten Oberen Steigerwaldbahn nach Schlüsselfeld ist der Abschnitt Strullendorf–Frensdorf weiterhin in Betrieb, die weiterführende Strecke nach Ebrach ist seit 2003 stillgelegt und abgebaut.

Geschichte

Etwa im Jahre 1865 zog die Porzellanfabrik Birkner (vormals Gottbrecht, Wagner, gegründet 1790) aus dem Ort Reichmannsdorf, in einem Nebental der Reichen Ebrach gelegen, nach Tettau/Alexanderhütte, weil der Produktionsstandort in Reichmannsdorf ungenügend an die Verkehrswege angebunden war. Bis zum Jahre 1886 hatte sich unter dem Vorsitz des Apothekers Barthel aus Burghaslach ein Eisenbahnkomitee gegründet, das sich für die Errichtung einer Lokalbahn zur Erschließung des Reichen Ebrachgrundes aussprach. Nach vielen Diskussionen über Streckenführungen einer geplanten "Steigerwaldbahn" (u. a. Erlangen – Höchstadt/Aisch–Geiselwind aber auch Frensdorf – Höchstadt/Aisch) wurde schließlich die Kostenermittlung für eine "Localbahn von Hirschaid nach Geiselwind" durchgeführt. Es gab Planungen, die Strecke von Ebrach über Gerolzhofen (Bahnstrecke Kitzingen – Schweinfurt) bis nach Volkach (Mainschleifenbahn) zu verlängern.

Am 26. September 1887 schrieb der Vorsitzende des Bahncomites, Barthel, dass "55.000 Mark für Grunderwerbskosten für die Reiche Ebrachtalbahn im District Höchstadt/A. aufgebracht sind". Bis 1889 war es so weit, dass eine Eisenbahnlinie durch das Tal der Rauhen Ebrach von Bamberg über Frensdorf nach Ebrach und eine Flügelbahn Frensdorf – Schlüsselfeld in greifbare Nähe gerückt waren. Am 21. Februar 1896 wurde der Bau der Strecke Strullendorf – Schlüsselfeld vom Bayerischen Landtag einstimmig genehmigt. Der Abschnitt Frensdorf–Ebrach folgte später.

Am 9. Dezember 1899 wurde die erste Probefahrt von Strullendorf nach Steppach durchgeführt und am 16. Dezember des gleichen Jahres der Verkehr aufgenommen. Am 22. September 1900 fand auf dem Abschnitt Steppach–Schlüsselfeld eine Probefahrt statt. Eine Woche später, am 29. September 1900, begann der Personenverkehr.

Die Strecke nach Ebrach wurde am 1. Mai 1904 von Frensdorf bis Burgebrach und am 21. Dezember des gleichen Jahres bis Ebrach eröffnet.

Im Sommerfahrplan 1939 verkehrten vier Personenzugpaare zwischen Bamberg und Ebrach, die bis Frensdorf mit den Zügen der Relation Bamberg–Strullendorf vereinigt liefen. Die kürzeste Reisezeit zwischen Strullendorf und Ebrach betrug dabei 48 Minuten.

Am 13. April 1945 wurde die Regnitzbrücke bei Pettstadt durch die Wehrmacht gesprengt. 1946 wurde zunächst eine provisorische Holzkonstruktion erstellt, um die Strecke wieder befahrbar zu machen. 1951 wurden dann neue Überbauten aus Stahl eingebaut.

Der Personenverkehr nach Ebrach wurde am 28. Mai 1961 eingestellt, der Güterverkehr hielt sich bis zum 31. Dezember 1999. Eine Übernahme des Streckenabschnittes von Frensdorf nach Ebrach durch ein anderes Eisenbahninfrastrukturunternehmen scheiterte, weshalb die Strecke am 23. Juni 2003 stillgelegt und 2006 abgebaut wurde. Auf einem Großteil der Trasse wurde nachher ein Radweg eingerichtet.

Der Reiseverkehr in der Relation von Bamberg nach Schlüsselfeld wurde am 21. Mai 1977 eingestellt. Güterverkehr auf dem Abschnitt von Strullendorf nach Frensdorf und weiter nach Schlüsselfeld findet dagegen nach wie vor statt.

Am 28. November 2007 übernahm die Bayerische Regionaleisenbahn (BRE), ein Tochterunternehmen der Deutschen Regionaleisenbahn (DRE), den verbliebenen Streckenabschnitt bis Frensdorf.

Streckenbeschreibung

Die Bahnstrecke verläuft vom Bahnhof Strullendorf in weitem Bogen nach Südwesten, überquert den Main-Donau-Kanal sowie die Regnitz und führt dann fast schnurgerade nach Frensdorf. Dort zweigt die weiter betriebene Strecke nach Schlüsselfeld ab. Die abgebaute Strecke nach Ebrach führte zunächst mit einem leichten Knick nach Norden und dann fast genau nach Westen parallel zur Bundesstraße 22. Fast schnurgerade verlief die Strecke bis zum Endbahnhof in Ebrach. Östlich von Ebrach beschrieb die Strecke eine Doppelkurve, erst nach Norden und dann nach Westen. Sie durchschnitt Ebrach fast genau in der Mitte. Der Bahnhof lag am westlichen Rand des Ortes.

Fahrzeugeinsatz

An Fahrzeugen wurden zuerst Dampflokomotiven der Baureihe D XI, danach die Baureihen 98.8 und 98.11 eingesetzt. Später folgten ETA 180, VT 98 und V 80 mit dreiachsigen Umbauwagen. Ab 1977 verkehrten im Güterverkehr die Baureihen 211, 260, 218 und 290.

Gegenwärtig werden die Güterzüge nach Schlüsselfeld von Lokomotiven der Baureihe 294 von DB Cargo bespannt.

In west-nordwestlicher Richtung zweigte auch ein ca. 350 Meter langes Industrie- & Ladegleis ab. Das Gleis endete am Nordufer des Pfister-Sees. Dort zweigte zusätzlich ein kurzes Stummelgleis ab, welches direkt am Ufer gelegen, vermutlich für Kies- und Sandverladungen benutzt wurde.

Here is how online buying as well as selling of these watches is being done.
Whether you are looking for ways on how to buy and sell watches online or even off, there are surely a lot of places and means where you might want to have some exploration. There are some things as well as factors that will best serve as your guide in buying and selling watches, may it be online, as well as offline or any other means. Here is a glimpse of the few things that you should take into your account seriously.
Though there are some auction sites where it is relatively effortless for an online sale of your watches, others surely have processes that are certainly more complex. This is also the very same case when you decide to make business offline. This just goes to say that before you even sell your watches, check everything out to know the deals involved for you to be assured that it is something that will suit you. Before you sell your watches for some cash, see to it that the transaction is secured and safe. For instance, in selling watches, see to it that the website where you will do it is secure, has payment options that are equally secure and that you also have its background properly checked.
Before you actually swap your watch online, ask first yourself if you would really want to have your watched sold. This might be a little unlikely but you should know that there are really some places where people are given sufficient time to reconsider even if the watch is already sold and they will even give it back to you. Although the cooling off polices are very aware, they are still existing. So, if you are considering selling your watch, check if there is also a cooling off policy involved and available.
Never let the fees as well as interests and charges to get a big chunk from the profit that you have when you are done selling your watch. See to it that you are aware of the involved costs and search for places which will allow you to sell your valuable watches free of charge.
When you decide not just to sell but even to buy watches, see to it that you have someone, preferably a professional who will serve as your guide throughout the process. He or she will be the one to give answers to your queries. This is a pertinent thing for online selling. And even if there is really no such thing as the perfect time for selling watches, right timing is still a must in order for you to be assured that you will get your watch's right value.

Virgin Megastore pulls Mein Kampf from display after Doha customers complain
A Virgin Megastore outlet in Qatar has come under fire for featuring an Arabic edition of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf (My Struggle) in a display marked "Virgin recommends."
The bookstore, located in Landmark Mall, pulled the book, which was first published in 1925 and outlines the Nazi leader's increasing anti-Jewish views, after customers complained about its prominence in the shop.
The National reports:
Anna, 39, who lives in Qatar, said: "It is one thing for this to be on sale, I do not believe in censorship, but to be promoted in this way crosses a line. This isn't a specialist history bookshop, it only has a small number of such titles on sale, so the fact it has been chosen says something, but to be recommended in this way is shocking…
In a statement, Virgin said: "For one day, the book was included in the recommended section. The recommended tag was not an endorsement of the book's author or its content. In response to a customer, we removed the title from the display. Commentary in the public domain was also taken seriously by Virgin Megastore and our policy is always to listen and respond immediately."
Did any of you guys see Mein Kampf on display before it was taken off the shelves? Thoughts?
