Los Angeles has much to offer the aesthetically inclined, whether it's listening to the Philharmonic amid the sweeping curves of the Walt Disney Concert Hall; ambling around Bergamot Station, a sprawling compound of modern art galleries in Santa Monica; or admiring the view from the marbled aerie of the Getty Center. While the city still struggles with the concept of a strolling district (notable exceptions include Rodeo Drive and Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade), Old Town Pasadena to the north is a good place to leave the car parked for an afternoon. The city's eclectic haute cuisine rivals that of New York. And just as in New York, it's a mistake to neglect the classic hotel addresses here: Hotel Bel-Air, The Beverly Hills Hotel, The Peninsula and Beverly Wilshire continue to shine, and treat their return patrons like family.
A Revitalized Downtown
The revitalization of downtown Los Angeles continues, evidenced by the continued success of The Broad contemporary-art museum. The space is in a striking building, with a "veil and vault" design, that houses some 2,000 works from the private collection of philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad, including pieces by artists Jean-Michel Basquiat, Robert Rauschenberg, Kara Walker and Andy Warhol. Have lunch at the NoMad hotel after your visit.
Another one of our favorite places to view contemporary art is at Bergamot Station Arts Center, a set of warehouses in Santa Monica that has served as a trolley stop and a celery-packing plant. Under new management since 2018, this unique complex houses galleries and a pleasant café.
Architecture Tour
In order to learn more about the architecture and history of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, we booked a tour of those cities (they're municipalities separate from Los Angeles) with Laura Massino Smith, who runs Architecture Tours L.A. Since her groups are limited in size by the number of seats in her minivan, we didn't book a private tour, though it's possible to do so. An architectural historian, Smith has extensive knowledge of architecture in general as well as the history of the Los Angeles region.
Runyon Canyon came highly recommended by every local we asked about hiking. And indeed, our walk here proved memorable in every respect, taking in sensational views of the Century City skyline, the downtown Los Angeles skyline and the iconic Hollywood sign. The people-watching also proved to be quite good. We started at the Fuller Avenue entrance and kept to the right, taking the East Trail, so that we had a steep uphill climb followed by a long, slow downhill walk, taking the first left off the East Trail in order to make a loop of approximately 2 miles.
Decades sells gorgeous vintage and consignment clothing and accessories dating to the 1920s. On my last visit, I coveted a vintage Hermès leather travel bag almost enough to pay the $8,000 price.
Literary Los Angeles
Before a recent trip to Los Angeles, we browsed through a book called "Dear Los Angeles: The City in Diaries and Letters, 1542 to 2018." Editor David Kipen combed through a vast array of journals and correspondence to assemble this collection of mostly short musings on Los Angeles and its residents, all written by people living or staying in the city. Rather than organizing the quotes he pulled chronologically, he arranged them according to the day of the year when they were written.


ONE OF THE MANY HOME TRADERS SEEMS TO HAVE LIVED A DREAM LIFE FOR A FEW MONTHS. MR. CLEARY HAS HAD A GOOD CAREER SO FAR, ALLOWING HIM TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY. THE PROOF LAST YEAR WAS THAT HE WAS SELLING HIS PROPERTY FOR $ 1.2 MILLION, AS WE SAW IN THE DAILY MAIL.
But for a few weeks, Jack Cleary seems to spend without counting. A recent publication on Twitter by his spouse Anna clearly demonstrates this. The latter has published a photo of Jack Cleary identifying her on her new boat which she identifies as her new "toy". The toy in question is a mega yacht of Italian design worth a few million dollars.
Our survey team decided to find out a little more about it. We have mandated a notary office known in his home town to make verifications concerning the real estate transactions made by Cleary during the last year. Surprise!!!
The report produced by them is eloquent, in the last 3 months only, Cleary would have acquired a luxury condo of $2,950,000 without mortgages. Their research does not stop there, a recent inscription on the register shows a new transaction made last week for the purchase this time of a sumptuous Mansion for the modest sum of $3,500,000 . This time again the transaction is made without resorting to a mortgage lender.
How is it possible to buy by paying cash for 6.5 million real estate by paying cash?
The notaries mandated in this file have unfortunately failed to find a trace for the purchase of its mega-yacth quoted above.
Our office of inquiry then tries to deepen the source of revenues that could justify such expenses. Seeking blindly, we analyzed each of the publications made on the various social media accounts as well as the various publications in the known gossip magazines. An image raises a questioning, during a recent interview in a popular magazine, it is seen attablé to his office answering the questions of the journalist. Behind him, his computer seems open to an online site.
This image captures our attention, but that we find on the screen of his computer . After much research and investigation, we begin to understand the provenance of his sudden fortune. In fact, when taking this picture, his computer was open on a trading website. After countless research, we finally found the website in question. This is a private online Forex currency trading website (see forex on wikipedia ). The site is particular because an algorithm analyzes the actions of thousands of traders in direct time, the site thus adapts currency purchases automatically to always win. In plain language, the computer calculates for it trades automatically.
We then contacted the administrators of this website to confirm our suspicions, the latter explained to us that all like several people, Mr. Cleary has been very active for 4 months and earns big amounts every week. They also told us that their business model is based on word-of-mouth in business networks of high society. They do not advertise. It takes no more to want to deepen on the subject.
Two of our columnists then tried this private platform. They opened an account to deposit funds from their credit card. The whole thing took less than 2 minutes before starting the automatic function "auto-trade" to start following the "algorithm" . We could not believe our eyes – it really works! The website automatically earned and after 1 hour our columnists had on average 500% of profits each. They were instructed to recover the initial deposit and continue to make profits only profit. The deposit returns to the credit card in less than 60 minutes.
After 5 days of use, we can say with certainty that the algorithm of the website predicts a winning investment with 88% efficiency .
What does this mean? This means that 88% of the investments that the platform automatically makes for us are winners. Let's say we launch the "auto-trade" function for an hour with a minimum bet of $ 10. In this hour the software will trade 20 times, and we will win an average of 18 trades . Every time we win, it's worth $ 90 and every time we lose, it's all $ 10. After one hour, the $ 10 invested becomes $1,620 and the sum was earned without risk and without increasing the auction! Can you imagine making the same investment, but this time from the $1,620 earned instead of the $10 starting and so on?
Now, the fortune of Jack Cleary takes on its full meaning. This is how he can afford this luxurious lifestyle without any effort. The software takes care of everything for him.
To date, it is totally legal to use the algorithm of this software site via Internet, but until when? The World Bank is starting to look into the issue and wants to regulate and / or remove their access on the web. Indeed, the law of the market is questioned, because no home trader can in theory take precedence over another, competition must be pure and perfect. Being done by algorithms, the trader can not lose money and many people pocket the jackpot just like Cleary. The media is silent because the state fears deregulation of the financial markets. A meeting is therefore planned in Geneva at the beginning of June 2017 to fill this legal gap.
We know that most of our readers will think that this is too good to be true, if you are among those who prefer to check by themselves, you can open an account to the software that Cleary uses.

Трифосген (С3Cl 6O3), также гексахлордиметилкарбонат — химическое соединение, используется как более безопасный заменитель фосгена, потому что при комнатной температуре оно является твердым веществом, тогда как фосген — газом. Трифосген разлагается при температуре выше 200 ° C.

Получение
Это соединение является коммерчески доступным. Его получают путём исчерпывающего свободнорадикального хлорирования диметилкарбоната:

 CH3OCO2CH3 + 6 Cl2 → CCl3OCO2CCl3 + 6 HCl

Опасность
Токсичность трифосгена и фосгена одинакова (фосген выделяется из трифосгена, например, при взаимодействии с влагой). Поэтому при работе с этим реактивом имеет смысл принимать те же меры предосторожности, что и с фосгеном.
Вещество является канцерогенным для  животных.

Применение

Трифосген используется в качестве реагента в органическом синтезе.

As required by the 1987 federal Nursing Home Reform Law, CMS has developed, tested, and periodically revised a survey protocol that state surveyors, who are generally employed by the state health departments, must use to determine nursing facilities' compliance with federal standards of care. The survey protocol, which is composed of two Appendices to the State Operations Manual, describes the tasks in the survey process that surveyors must perform and establishes Interpretive Guidelines that are CMS's official interpretation of the law and regulations.
The Center for Medicare Advocacy and Dean Lerner Consulting recently studied antipsychotic drug deficiencies in nursing homes. The project, supported by the Commonwealth Fund, had two parts: an analysis of antipsychotic drug deficiencies that were cited in seven states in 2010 and 2011, and the responses by more than 500 surveyors in 10 states to a multi-question questionnaire. This Alert discusses Recommendations, made by surveyors and project staff, for the survey process, surveyor guidance, surveyor training, Requirements of Participation for facilities, and a global recommendation. Some of the Recommendations come directly from surveyors; others are based on recommendations identified in the questionnaire with which many surveyors expressed support.
Create specialized teams of experienced and skilled federal surveyors, to be assigned on as-needed basis to states experiencing staffing shortages or other problems (such as failure in enforcement).
CMS require surveyors to report interference with the survey process to CMS's Central Office.
Reduce and simplify surveyor guidance in SOM.
Includes a checklist, decision tree, or other type of clearer, more explicit protocol.
More training in antipsychotic drugs for state agency supervisors, facilities, and prescribers.
Require mandatory nurse staffing levels.
Project staff also developed a Global Recommendation that would require each facility to complete a new Antipsychotic Drug/Dementia Care Compliance Report for each resident taking antipsychotic drug(s). The facility would be required to identify the resident's diagnosis, all attempted non-pharmaceutical interventions, consents, and recommendations for, and physician responses to, consultant pharmacists' recommendations for gradual dose reductions. The reports would be signed by all members of interdisciplinary team, certifying compliance with all federal Requirements. As part of the annual survey or any relevant complaint survey, surveyors would review the reports.
The misuse of antipsychotic drugs harms and kills residents. When the costs of antipsychotic drugs and the poor outcomes that result from their misuse – including resident falls and hospitalizations – are considered, the misuse also costs hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars, each year. Reducing the misuse of these (and other) drugs needs to be a federal priority. Revising the Requirements of Participation to more tightly oversee and control the prescribing of antipsychotic drugs is one step. Another step is strengthening the federal enforcement system so that noncompliance by facilities is more effectively and consistently sanctioned.

 Section 6102 of the Affordable Care Act, 42 U.S.C. §1128I(c), requires the Secretary to develop and implement a Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program by December 31, 2011. CMS has issued guidance on QAPI. See CMA, "Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Initiatives related to Section 6102 (c) of the Affordable Care Act for Nursing Homes," S&C: 11-22-NH (April 8, 2011), http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Provider-Enrollment-and-Certification/SurveyCertificationGenInfo/Downloads/SCLetter11_22.pdf; CMA, "Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) in Nursing Homes- Activities Related to QAPI Implementation," S&C: 12-38-NH (June 29, 2012), http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Provider-Enrollment-and-Certification/SurveyCertificationGenInfo/Downloads/Survey-and-Cert-Letter-12-38.pdf; CMA, " Preview of Nursing Home Quality Assurance & Performance Improvement (QAPI) Guide – QAPI at a Glance," S&C: 13-05-NH (Dec. 14, 2012), http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Provider-Enrollment-and-Certification/SurveyCertificationGenInfo/Downloads/Survey-and-Cert-Letter-13-05.pdf; and CMA, " Rollout of Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Materials for Nursing Homes," S&C: 13-37-NH (June 7, 2013), http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Provider-Enrollment-and-Certification/SurveyCertificationGenInfo/Downloads/Survey-and-Cert-Letter-13-37.pdf. One requirement of QAPI is development of a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP).
 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued Black Box warnings about the dangers of antipsychotic drugs. An April 2005 warning for atypical antipsychotic drugs cautioned that the drugs increased dementia patient's mortality. FDA, "Public Health Advisory: Deaths with Antipsychotics in Elderly Patients with Behavioral Disturbances" (April 11, 2005), http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/PostmarketDrugSafetyInformationforPatientsandProviders/DrugSafetyInformationforHeathcareProfessionals/PublicHealthAdvisories/ucm053171.htm. The warning was extended to conventional antipsychotic drugs in 2008.

My tech was very polite and professional. Explained everything clearly and was knowledgeable. Great job.
Custom Climate has been our HVAC contractor for many years and I cannot say enough positive things about them. They are professional, courteous, proactive, super neat. They approach both repairs and new installations from a strategic perspective and show up on time and are very efficient. They work miracles when you have an emergency, despite the fact that those inevitably occur only on holidays and weekends when the temperature is below zero or above 100!!!!! They are also experts in GeoThermal systems, a highly technical area that is not easy to get REAL expert advice on. We have so much confidence in their knowledge, that we have sought their guidance on HVAC issues for properties outside the state, because we trust them implicitly. We recommend them without reservation.
Very impressed for our first service and on a Sunday as well!!! Will definitely be using them again and will be referring them to anyone in need! Thank you for amazing service!
I have used them for years. Consistently excellent service! Highly recommend.


ArtWanted is excited to announce a new project to literally put your art into the hands of more people. We are planning to create several themed decks of poker-style playing cards that feature the artwork of our talented ArtWanted members.
The Artist Playing Cards project will help promote many of the great artists on ArtWanted and also bring ArtWanted to new audiences.
We are now accepting artwork entries to be part of this playing card project. There is no cost to submit your entry and we will accept entries through April 30th, 2018.
There are lots of details about this project that we want to share, so we have created a new section of the website with all the details. Click the link below to learn more about this project and to submit your entries.
As always, if you have any comments or questions, post them here by reply. We look forward to seeing the artwork you submit for the Artist Playing Cards project.
Hello. I uploaded my animal images of paintings yesterday for the Artist playing cards project. Am I being premature in my uploading ?Also How can I go in to edit those images as much as this technical system will allow me , such as inputting copyright watermarks on my images . Thank you .
Thanks for jumping on board so quickly Marie and no, there is no problem with that, it's great.
There is not really a place to "Edit" the images you submit. However, if you have a better image/version of your artwork, you can delete the previously uploaded images and upload better images. If you want a watermark on your images, you can do that before you upload them, but typically in something like this, you would not watermark them as this would detract from the cards and artwork when printed.
I uploaded 2 images for the cards. Were they received? I have not heard from you that you received them. Let me know thanks an did you receive my sea life turtle for the water art contest?
Kelly, when you upload any images for the playing cards, they will be displayed for you on screen with a preview of the card. Yes, we did get your two images (wolf & lion).
We also received your contest entry as well. Thanks!
Miss Daphne has recently passed, her Mom and Dad are great friends of ours. I would like to honor her with this card and picture!
This is an interesting endeavor & I hope it succeeds. Enclosed is a 300dpi rgb file at about 120% of the needed size of a playing card . The white background may ease re-positioning onto pre-printed materials & I'll await future requirements. In 5 minutes I'll be sending another separate file on another email reply like this one in the interests of keeping things simple (for me). Thanks & good luck guys.
...this is the 2nd of 2 files that were sent for consideration for the deck of playing cards project. Thanks again guys.
Ginger - Thanks for your thoughts and wanting to honor Miss Daphne. Unfortunately, for legal reasons, each artist needs to sign an artwork release that they are the original creator and they must be living to do so. We are not able to accept Miss Daphne's artwork of the dog for this particular project.
Andrew - Thanks for your interest in the playing card project. Your images will need to be submitted on our official form for the project for them to be accepted as entries, so we can capture the full image (the message board resizes large images to a smaller size for display only).
I am trying to delete one of my card submissions, but when I try, it says "page does not exist". I would like to delete one and resubmit a better image.
Thanks for the note Deborah. We have fixed the delete button that was giving you problems, please try again.
This is one of my recent flower images. This is my favourite genre!!
I tried to submit images (2) for the Playing Card project, but they came out the wrong way around. A bear and a cat. Could you help please?
G DURICH - We will rotate the images for you, so they show up correctly on the cards.
Really? Thank You! Are the images - actually, what do you think of them? What's next please? Thanks!??
G Durich - Right now you just need to wait. We will start the voting in a few weeks and the top images will be selected to be in the deck of cards.

Detroit and the world shall never sound the same. Marcus Belgrave, 2009 Kresge Arts Eminent Fellow, master of trumpet and the musical arts, died early Sunday, May 24, at hospital in Ann Arbor. He had been undergoing treatment for heart and lung ailments. Mr. Belgrave is survived by his wife, Joan Belgrave, two sons, and two daughters.
Mr. Belgrave played with a Who's Who of jazz greats, including Ray Charles, Yusef Lateef, Charles Mingus, and Max Roach. An educator for generations of Detroit musicians, Mr. Belgrave also served as a mentor to many of today's jazz superstars, including Wynton Marsalis, Rodney Whitaker, Kenny Garrett, and Regina Carter. What's more, he served many good causes when called to help the less fortunate, tirelessly and without fanfare.
Barbara Barefield, Detroit photographer and friend of jazz and classical music nonpareil, has created images that capture moments made with Marcus Belgrave and friends over the years.

Each year, the Kresge Eminent Artist Award recognizes a metropolitan Detroit artist whose work and career exemplify sustained, outstanding achievement and a commitment to sharing that work within the local community. Eminence is apparent when it comes to the recipient, Marcus Belgrave. This internationally recognized trumpeter, who long ago chose Detroit as his home, is an icon to musicians and lovers of jazz. After more than five decades, his tireless work, amazing technical abilities, and the joy and spontaneity with which he creates distinguishes him worldwide as an admired and respected jazz master. By spreading the language of jazz to generations of students, he has remained a beloved mentor to young musicians, many of whom have gone on to become great artists themselves. It is this kind of energy, dedication and virtuosity that the award applauds, and Kresge Arts in Detroit is honored to name Marcus Belgrave as its second Eminent Artist.
These images help us remember the times and people with whom Marcus Belgrave performed. We will always know a true friend through his music.
Detroit Public Television Channel 56 profiled Marcus Belgrave and photographer Bill Rauhauser in a special program, Marcus Belgrave Remembered. The two were honored as Kresge Eminent Artists and featured in recent Art X Detroit programs. The program includes a 2014 live performance by Marcus Belgrave and Friends at The Carr Center, an event photographed by Bill Rauhauser, as well as discussions with the artists moderated by journalist Kim Heron.

Understanding focal length is key to understanding how your camera works. The focal length of a lens determines what your camera is going to focus on, and how your images are going to turn out. From selecting the right lens to getting those picture-perfect shots, learn more about focal length and how it impacts photography below.
How Does Focal Length Affect an Image?
Focal length is the measurement of distance (in millimeters) between the point of convergence of your lens and the sensor recording the image. Focal length is expressed by a number, and that number tells you how much of the scene your camera will be able to capture. Smaller numbers have a wider angle of view and show more of the scene; larger numbers have a narrower angle of view and show less.
Field of view. The focal length determines how much of a scene is portrayed in an image. Smaller focal length lenses are called wide-angle lenses because they have a wider field of view. Lenses with a large focal length are called telephoto lenses and have a smaller field of view.
Depth of field. Telephoto lenses also have a large depth of field, which means they can focus in on object that's very far away.
Perspective. The focal length changes the perspective and scale of your images. A Smaller focal length will give you a wider perspective and greater scale for your images. A larger focal length will narrow your perspective, zooming in on a tight shot on a smaller, more detailed scale.
Image shake. Image shake is the blurriness and reduction in image quality that occurs from the vibration of pressing the shutter release down. When using a lens with a large focal length and tight perspective, the lens and camera become sensitive to the slightest motion. Image shake can occur if you are not using a tripod.
There are two main types of camera lenses.
Prime lenses, or fixed lenses, have only one focal length available to them. "Fixed" means that the focal length of the lens does not and can not change. Prime lenses are easier to manufacture, and tend to be more inexpensive than zoom lenses.
Zoom lenses have a range of focal lengths. Zoom lenses are more complex to build, since they contain multiple lenses that allow the photographer to adjust focal length, usually by twisting the grooved ridges on the outside of the lens. While they are more expensive, they are also more versatile; you would need two or three different prime lenses to get the range of focal lengths that you would get with a single zoom lens.
There is a wide variety of camera lenses, and therefore focal lengths, available to budding photographers. Certain lenses are better suited to certain types of photography; for example, ultra-wide angles are great for landscape photography whereas telephotos are a better option for wildlife photography.
These lenses are sometimes called fisheye lenses, which have a very wide viewing area. While they can take an image of up to 180 degrees around the lens, they distort the image quite significantly, making everything appear almost as if inside a sphere.
Smaller focal lengths and a wider angle can distort images. With a lens of this size, distortion is minimal and the image appears more natural. Pretty much everything is in focus unless your subject is very close to the camera and there is less spatial distortion than a very wide lens, but it still makes things seem farther away than they actually are.
These versatile lenses are good for just about any type of photography, from portraits to landscapes. These all-in-one lenses render images roughly the way the human eye sees the world., and easily adjust to a shallow or deep depth of field, depending on aperture.
Check crop factor. The focal length of a lens is determined by using 35mm film, or with a standard 35mm camera sensor. Check your camera's sensor size to make sure it's in line with the standard; if not, the lens will present a slight skew towards telephoto (so, for example, if your camera has a crop factor of 1.5 and you opt for a 100mm lens, your image will actually capture at 150mm). Both Canon and Nikon produce cameras with smaller sensors.
Best Beginner Camera Lens. The 50mm is by far the most popular starter lens, as it strikes a nice balance between field of view and depth of field, and doesn't require any tinkering with the focal lens to produce a crisp image.
Best Lens for Travel Photography. Travel photography is unique in that you'll want to travel light, but want to have the option of capturing a lot of detail. A standard zoom lens should provide you with enough flexibility to get each shot.
Best Lens for Sports Photography. Telephoto zoom lenses are ideal for action-packed scenarios you're going to witness from afar.
Best Lens for Landscape Photography. Before heading out on an outdoor adventure, consider grabbing two lenses: a wide-angle (or ultra wide-angle) as well as a standard lens. With landscape photography, you want to have the flexibility to capture both scale and detail.
Best Lens for Portrait Photography. Fixed, standard lens between 35mm and 70mm are great portrait lenses; the lack of zoom options ensures clarity of image (so no fuzzy or blurry faces).
Best Lens for Macro Photography. A telephoto lens of at least 200mm is best for macro photography. This powerful lens can capture subtle details from afar.
Best Lens for Architecture Photography. A standard wide angle lens features a decent field of view to capture most, if not all, of a building.
Best Lens for Street Photography. As with portrait photography, street photography benefits from the unique, clear look that standard fixed lenses produce. If you want to get creative, however, opt for a standard zoom lens to play with your subject's size in relation to the background.
Best Lens for Wildlife Photography. Telephoto zoom lenses come in handy for potentially dangerous situations, or scenarios in which you want to capture a scene without disturbing the subjects. Wildlife can be unpredictable, and a telephoto lens helps ensure you can keep enough distance between yourself and the animals while still getting the shot.

Jesus, man, it was beautiful
I came across a bunch of old photos while looking for envelopes the other day. There were photos of when I was ten or so catching a catfish in Florida with my brother-in-law. There were a few from the summer after my freshman year of college in 1994, home for my mother's birthday party. In several of them my father is holding a microphone up to my face as I sit at this guy's electronic piano. I'm sure I'm playing and singing Tori Amos' version of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." It must have been weird for me to be singing, "My libido" at eighteen years old with my Dad holding the mic and in general.
Oh I just wanted to emote so bad. And emote I did. But my intense naiveté I'm sure came off as a great big "fuck you" to the crowd. Who sings Nirvana for her mother's birthday? At least I wasn't playing Morrissey's "There Is a Place in Hell for Me and My Friends," on which I also liked to accompany myself on piano.
I remember at another family party I sang "Ave Maria" because my mother wanted me to. I told her I could only remember half the Latin words but she felt that she would rather hear me do some of it than not at all. So, against my better judgment, I got up and did half of it. I was about sixteen years old. I was berated so heartily by a jazz/easy listening composer friend of the family that it put me off Latin for awhile. But it also made me not want to share much of my inner self through creative expression even though I couldn't help myself but to share. The age-old conflict of aching and resistance bites again.
"You are a cute girl and talented and you can get away with a lot but not that," the composer said. He was in my face. "You must never get up and do a song without knowing it front to back. Being professional is the most important thing."
He didn't give me a chance to retort. His wife was also a vocalist and his reaction made me understand why — as I had heard — she might write all of her scatting before singing it. There was no winging it with these two. The tidbit about the vocalist's prewritten scats was something I always thought was hilarious because scatting is supposed to be improvised: the human voice playing a solo, if you will, as one would another musical instrument. As an aside, I don't scat because it, like yodeling, is impressive but borders on show-off and really only pleases the person doing it and a certain kind of academic listener more interested in a wad being blown than euphony. Also "scat" means shit. I guess I'm still bitter about a man yelling into the face of a well-meaning teenaged girl trying to do something nice for her mother.
The songwriter is dead now, as is my mother, which doesn't really lend much to this story other than the fact that I don't regret singing half that song, having that moment with my mother, and even having my face yelled into by a professional musician who cared about music and the importance of taking yourself seriously when you are an artist. When I remember him I think of his very strong work ethic as an artist and that he would show up late for parties if he had to because he was working on a song. Other people would complain that he was late but I always felt like saying "Good for him. Fight the good fight, man." Whenever a friend is pissed because I don't pick up the phone or meet for a drink because I'm writing or working on music I think of Billy passing up cocktail hour to follow his muse by showing up, doing the work, and not stopping until it was done. I can hold both memories as valuable truths. And he wasn't wrong about being professional. Show up knowing your shit.
"Jesus, man," he would say, eyes glinting remembering a great musical performance. "Jesus, man. It was beautiful." His eyes would roll with the pleasure of song.
I insisted on having this kind of school photo taken in first grade and believed the serious face was a capture of my very soul. #soulphotobomb

Q: Convert `List` to comma-separated string Is there a fast way to convert List<string> to a comma-separated string in C#?
I do it like this but Maybe there is a faster or more efficient way?
List<string> ls = new List<string>();
ls.Add("one");
ls.Add("two");
string type = string.Join(",", ls.ToArray());

PS: Searched on this site but most solutions are for Java or Python

A: Follow this:
       List<string> name = new List<string>();

        name.Add("Latif");

        name.Add("Ram");

        name.Add("Adam");
        string nameOfString = (string.Join(",", name.Select(x => x.ToString()).ToArray()));

A: static void Main(string[] args)
{
   List<string> listStrings = new List<string>(){ "C#", "Asp.Net", "SQL Server", "PHP", "Angular"};
   string CommaSeparateString = GenerateCommaSeparateStringFromList(listStrings);
   Console.Write(CommaSeparateString);
   Console.ReadKey();
}

private static string GenerateCommaSeparateStringFromList(List<string> listStrings)
{
   return String.Join(",", listStrings);
}

Convert a list of string to comma separated string C#.

A: To expand on Jon Skeets answer the code for this in .Net 4 is:
string myCommaSeperatedString = string.Join(",",ls);

A: The following will result in a comma separated list. Be sure to include a using statement for System.Linq
List<string> ls = new List<string>();
ls.Add("one");
ls.Add("two");
string type = ls.Aggregate((x,y) => x + "," + y);

will yield one,two
if you need a space after the comma, simply change the last line to string type = ls.Aggregate((x,y) => x + ", " + y);

A: In .NET 4 you don't need the ToArray() call - string.Join is overloaded to accept IEnumerable<T> or just IEnumerable<string>.
There are potentially more efficient ways of doing it before .NET 4, but do you really need them? Is this actually a bottleneck in your code?
You could iterate over the list, work out the final size, allocate a StringBuilder of exactly the right size, then do the join yourself. That would avoid the extra array being built for little reason - but it wouldn't save much time and it would be a lot more code.

A: That's the way I'd prefer to see if I was maintaining your code.  If you manage to find a faster solution, it's going to be very esoteric, and you should really bury it inside of a method that describes what it does.
(does it still work without the ToArray)?

The undergraduate major, honors track undergraduate major, and the graduate certificate program take an interdisciplinary approach in their exploration of women's lives and histories and the role that ideas about sexual differences and sexual identities have played in human societies.
Areas of inquiry include women's participation in social and cultural production; the construction of heteronormative gender and sexuality as well as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender identities; the relationship between ideas about gender and concepts inherent in other social, political, and legal structures; and the implications of feminist and sexuality studies for philosophical and epistemological traditions. Students acquire an understanding of how adopting gender as a significant category of analysis challenges existing disciplines. They gain proficiency in the methods used to study and compare cultural constructions of gender and sexuality, and they become familiar with the ongoing fundamental debates in women's, gender, and sexuality studies.

Poor Nameless Boy with Adyn Townes Live at Milkcrate Records.
Disarming in a moment, Joel Henderson's soft, melodic delivery is born from a keen perception of the human condition. This understated authenticity is why you'll find Poor Nameless Boy on the fringes of something much deeper than modern indie-folk. In his quest to retain a certain humbled anonymity, this Regina-based artist has, in fact, made himself more noticeable than ever.
Though similar to his contemporaries with his wispy, shiver-worthy vocal tones reminiscent of Donovan Woods and Gregory Alan Isakov; Henderson's stark vulnerability sets him apart, coupled with a deep lyrical poignancy. Since the release of Activity Book (2013), and the proceeding, stunningly beautiful and acclaimed Bravery (2016); Henderson has seen some notable milestones, including a recent publishing deal and several successful tours and showcases in Canada and Europe.
Henderson's striking grasp of life's complexities is mirrored by a pure modesty, allowing listeners to immerse themselves into the stories, songs and experiences of Poor Nameless Boy without pretence. With no desire to be seen as a brand or commodity, his humanistic proposition is entirely irresistible, and as a songwriter, effortlessly engaging.

About RIHG
Charlottetown Beer Garden
The Factory Downtown
John Brown Grille
Hunter's Ale House
Phinley's Restaurant
Red Island Hospitality Group came into existence in 2005...
with the establishment of the company's flagship restaurant, Hunter's Ale House, located at the corner of Kent and Prince Street. A few years later the opportunity arose to purchase a restaurant on Charlottetown's picturesque Victoria Row, and the RIHG family started to grow with the addition of John Brown Richmond Street Grille. In 2012, the building adjacent to Hunter's on Kent Street became PEI's only country bar, The Factory Downtown. Charlottetown Beer Garden and Seafood Patio transformed the intersection of Prince and Kent Street in 2016, and an entertainment destination known as Hunter's Corner was created. In the spring of 2020 the Hunter's brand expanded with the opening of Hunter's at the Fox at Fox Meadow golf course. In October of 2022, RIHG grew again with the addition of Phinley's Restaurant in Stratford.
Business partners Jeff Sinnott and Chad MacDonald, both of whom have worked with RIHG since Hunter's Ale House opened, purchased the company in 2018, and under their proprietorship, RIHG continues to be a leader in PEI's hospitality industry. When your restaurants have been nominated and/or won awards from Music PEI, East Coast Music Association, Greater Charlottetown & Area Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Charlottetown Inc, and more, the expectations are high.
Over the years, Red Island Hospitality Group has supported both the arts and sports on Prince Edward Island. In addition to providing entertainment at our venues, RIHG is proud to fund local theatre, including The Guild and Confederation Centre of the Arts. As a former UPEI Panther basketball player, Chad is especially proud to now contribute to UPEI basketball financially, as well as providing tournament sponsorships, team meals, and more. Our proximity to Holland College has led to a long standing relationship with Holland College Hurricanes, with a number of their student athletes employed with us during and after their college years are finished. In addition to post-secondary athletics, RIHG continues to be involved with the QMJHL, sponsoring the Charlottetown Islanders, and feeding many hungry teams before and after their hockey games. We would be remiss in not mentioning the teams named after us: Hunter's Corner Mudmen. This partnership has seen rugby grow and flourish on PEI and we are very proud of the accomplishments of all divisions of players wearing Mudmen jerseys!
Giving back to our community has been one of the fundamental business practices of RIHG since its inception. From grass roots fundraisers to larger non-profit organizations, we provide a range of contributions, including gift certificates for silent auctions and benefits, feeding volunteers at Habitat for Humanity and PEI Marathon, to mention a few, and providing monetary donations to worthy causes, including but not limited to: The United Way, Anderson House, Canadian Mental Health Association - PEI Division, QEH Foundation, and Canadian Cancer Society PEI. Of course, we must not forget to mention one of our most successful fundraising seasonal campaigns, #barbnog, which results in substantial donations to Santa's Angels and The Upper Room Food Bank every Christmas.

Q: Google Play real-time multiplayer does not work on a Genymotion virtual device I have an Android app with Google Play Achievements and Leaderboards Services.
I want to add Real-time Multiplayer.
So I have downloaded  ButtonClicker2000 example from Github and link it to an my existing game service
This app works fine on physical devices, but on Genymotion device attempt to create Room returns Status code 7000 in callback onRoomCreated.
// Called when room has been created
@Override
public void onRoomCreated(int statusCode, Room room) {
    Log.d(TAG, "onRoomCreated(" + statusCode + ", " + room + ")");
    if (statusCode != GamesStatusCodes.STATUS_OK) {
        Log.e(TAG, "*** Error: onRoomCreated, status " + statusCode);
        showGameError();
        return;
    }

   // save room ID so we can leave cleanly before the game starts.
    mRoomId = room.getRoomId();

    // show the waiting room UI
    showWaitingRoom(room);
}

Status code 7000 value is:
STATUS_REAL_TIME_CONNECTION_FAILED - Failed to initialize the network connection for a real-time room.
Turning On/Off Real-time multiplayer switch on Developer Console does not change result.
I don't shure multiplayer can work on Genymotion. I don't found any explicit confirmation on stackoverflow.
Genymotion version 2.6.0 Revision 20151127-3674435
Device: Google Nexus S 4.1.1
Google Play services version: 8.4.89 (2428711-070)
GApps: gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
If anyone run real-time multiplayer on Genymotion please answer.
Thanks.

A: I am running my multiplayer game on genymotion devices. I am using the same specs as you. Unfortunately I receive sometimes a error (status code 4, today first time status code 7000). However, most times it works. I followed this tutorial: SO-Thread.
Did you changed the code, like onstart(), .connect or .create call?

Hottest Pussy Games You Need To Play Now
13 Sep 2022 Vetterne Will
Looking for something a little more exciting and interactive than porn? Adult sex games are the hottest new thing, and they're all over the place. I've gathered together some of the best that you can play online, so strap yourselves in and get ready to experience some hot new sensations with these pussy games!
There are literally hundreds of adult sex games on offer now, but most don't really do anything other than let you wank off – which is fine if you want that sort of thing, but what about when you want something a bit more interactive? Well, luckily there are some great options out there for those who like their sex games to be a bit more hands-on.
League of Pleasures
The first game I'd recommend checking out is called League of Pleasures. This one's quite simple; you choose from a selection of sexy ladies, then the two of you strip down until you're both completely naked. Then you just have to start touching each other sensually, exploring your bodies and getting turned on by the fact that you're naked together.
It doesn't take long before you'll be kissing passionately, rubbing against each other and trying hard not to cum too early. It's an incredibly addictive game, and it's perfect for people looking for something a bit more intimate than porn. There are lots of different girls to try, as well as tons of options for customizing your own character, including skin color, breast size and even genital size!
Kate's Diaries
My second recommendation would be Kate's Diary, one of the more popular pussy sex games. If you're into real-life stories where people actually fuck, this game may be right up your alley! Here, you're controlling a young woman named Kate, as she experiences her very first sexual encounter with another girl. You control everything, including how far along the story goes, whether or not you let the girl go, and what happens next.
It's easy to play, and you get to see plenty of hot lesbian action. As you progress through the game, you unlock new scenes and even different endings. It's a pretty good game, although the graphics could definitely use some work.
Realm of Sex
Another great option would be Realm of Sex, which comes highly recommended by many erotic game reviewers. This one is similar to Kate's Diary, but instead of being focused around female-on-female action, it has a male protagonist. That means you get to play as a guy, and if you're into playing guys, you'll have plenty of fun with this one.
In this game, you're a soldier in a fantasy world full of horny monsters. Your goal is to save the world from the evil demon lord, and during your adventures, you meet a cute elf chick named Ayla. Of course, you want to bang her, so you decide to try and seduce her. She's a bit shy at first, but once you show her that you're interested, she warms up quickly.
There's a lot of dialogue and interaction here, and while the graphics aren't the greatest, there's still enough going on to keep things interesting. The story isn't the best, but it's good for a quick afternoon distraction.
Sexy Maid
For my last recommendation, I'd suggest taking a look at Sexy Maid. This one's a classic; it's been around for ages, and it's always fun. In this game, you play as a wealthy landlord who's decided to throw a big party for his friends. Unfortunately, he's also got a huge cock, and he ends up fucking the maid (who's also your wife), without realizing she's in disguise.
As you might expect, trouble ensues, and the two of them end up having an affair. While this isn't really a "game" per se, it's still pretty cool. You can play the entire thing online, and it's a lot of fun to boot. Just make sure you don't get caught!
7 Roadtripping Games You Need To Play
There comes a time in your life you have to grab the necessities and get the hell out of town for a while.
The music, snacks, and company make the road trip worthwhile but adding in these games makes the drive much more enjoyable.
Regardless if it's an hour or twelve, there's enough time to play one of these, if not all of them because games are fun and when you're having fun it makes everything worth it.
Chinese Fire Alarm Game:
So you're a bit of daredevil and want to test the odds of being honked, screamed and possibly injured for this ridiculous game. It is entirely worth it because the adrenaline rush you receive once you get into another spot is worth the spontaneous commotion.
Changing things up is a must on a road trip because everyone needs a turn at being the shotgun, DJ, and steering the entire damn thing.
Movie Game:
For all of you movie fanatics, this one is for you because you end up remembering every movie you've seen since birth. You have actually to know actor's names to play, but I'm pretty sure you can just end up describing their face when you have a brain fart.
Once an actor/actress is chosen, you have to say a movie they were in and then another actor in the film, so on and so forth. You'll be surprised how much that big brain of yours will remember when you put it up to the test.
License Plate Game:
The rules can differ in this game, but the gist is that you either tally or punch, for some of you aggressive players, when you spot a license plate from a different state. You can decide to spot out specific plates too or try to figure out any secret meaning behind the letters and numbers on the plate.
Slug Bug Game:
In this game, you have to pay attention and have a keen eye for any car remotely shaped into the Volkswagen bug form. There always comes a time when two people see it at the same time, and both of them end up getting a punch it, defeating the purpose but still a good laugh.
Battle Of The Bands Game:
Now this gets tricky because you end up being hard core judged on your music tastes but it's nice to switch up the car DJ every once in awhile.
Once the category is decided you get sixty seconds to find the best fit and then get judged on your choice of song.
A game where you can play some throwbacks and reminisce on all the right music that played before the shit on the radio
Word Association Game:
This game ends up being hilarious because you become fascinated with the weird shit that people associate words with.
Once the first word is started, it usually goes downhill from there as you start screaming out the first bizarre word that comes to mind, often inappropriate.
Alphabetical Categories Game:
This one is harder than it seems when your category is fruit and your letter is X. It's a fast-paced and hilarious game that makes you feel dumb when you can't think of the most basic words, and your brain turns to mush the second pressure is on.
For any of you competitive game players, road trip games are strictly for fun so don't get all butthurt once you realize you suck at the majority of them.
Enjoy your company, snacks, and music, and you'll reach your destination before you even realize.
3 Games You Always Played In Class
It was always so hard to pay attention in class growing up… who am I kidding? It still is! Trying to get away with playing these games ended up being more exciting than the game itself.
Hang Man:
I am not proud of how many men I have hung due to this game because I could not, for the life of me, or his, figure out the stupid phrases.
It's hard not to overthink when random letters start appearing on the paper and you start repeating all the vowels as you begin to panic.
The highlight of this game is when the lightbulb finally goes off in your head realizing the phrase is an inside joke or something so stupid you would have been legit pissed if you didn't get it.
Such a fun way to completely ignore your teacher and entertain yourself by coming up with a funny word/phrase in hopes that the hanging man runs out of limbs to be hung so you can win.
Tic Tac Toe:
The fact that there is a strategy to this game makes me laugh because I always went straight for the middle spot and then it would always go downhill from there. I had no game plan but to focus on getting three in a row instead of blocking my partner.
It blew my mind when my opponent had two options of winning on either side, so it didn't matter what my next move was. My x could have taken up the entire paper, and they would still find a way around it to win.
The rules would slowly turn into best three out of five then your whole study guide was filled with giant Xs and O's.
MASH:
This game was all about fantasizing and romanticizing your future. Your goal was to marry your crush and drive a BMW to your law firm before making your way home to your mansion with three kids.
If only it were that easy to get everything you want by blindly choosing options on a piece of paper.
The best part is when your best friend threw in a couple of options for each category and purposely chose the most repulsive spouses, jobs, and cars. You ended up having a mini panic attack when you thought your future could consist of marrying the class clown while working as a janitor and living in a shack with your thirteen kids.
The entire game was unrealistic, but it didn't stop you from playing whenever you got the chance. Let's face it; your wants did change on the daily at that age.
Reminiscing on these games is a good reminder that you should tap into your kid's side every once in a while.
Guarantee if you whip out a piece of paper and start playing these games you will be in for a night of fun and laughter.
Heck, you might even remember the ideal life you wanted when you were in middle school, thanking the universe it didn't give you what you thought you wanted.

Top Adult Games for All
2 Oct 2020 Vetterne Will
The thought may have crossed your mind every now and then, but it was just for a moment and you never gave it any credence.
It seemed outlandish, and no one would ever try to do it.
Well, it turns out you're wrong.
That thought was about adult games – sex video games – and while it may not have been a reasonable thing a decade ago, it's now totally possible and totally real.
Oh, and they're free. Yeah, f-r-e-e, free.
These aren't just adult versions of Sims with equally terrible graphics or anything like that; some of them are actually parodies of other games, and they make it work.
You can play Grand Fuck Auto, where you do things similar to how you'd play in Grand Theft Auto, only having sex is added on, and it's the main focus of the game. Instead of robbing people and seeing how long you can last with five stars and cops on your tail, you're tasked with having as much sex as possible, and you're free to do it with whoever you want.
Learn more about Grand Fuck Auto: https://sexgamesreport.com/grand-fuck-auto/
Some games limit who you can interact with and talk to; some characters just stand there and do nothing, even if you run into them or say rude things, but not that's not the case when it comes to Grand Fuck Auto. GFA lets you screw around with anyone you want.
Then you get to have sex with them.
Another game that parodies a well-known franchise, Call of Booty is just like the Call of Duty first-person shooter games, only instead of wearing cool armor and accessories, every player is completely naked. Seems fair enough.
As you run around various maps and shoot mercilessly at other players, your virtual private parts are going to be visible to everyone; in Call of Duty, headshots will get you killed, while in Call of Booty, one well-placed bullet to the nuts and you're done.
If you're into comics, then this next free adult game is the one you'll love: Hard Knight Rises. Obviously, it's a play on the Dark Knight Rises, a Batman video game that has been very successful in the competitive gaming industry.
In this free adult game, you're tasked with fucking up the bad guys in more ways than one. First, you get to beat the crap out of them, just like you do in Dark Knight Rises; after that, you get to have sex with anyone you want, whether it's the evil henchman's girl or some random chick you save in a dark alley.
You're the Hard Knight, so you get to choose.
A third offering, although not the last, is a game entitled the Guido Brothers.
These two rambunctious plumbers with incredible libidos are on a mission to rescue the princess, a princess who's been captured so many times by now you'd think they'd have just let her get kidnapped once and for all and been done with her.
When you finally beat the final boss and rescue her, now the Guido Bros have to duel to see who gets to have sex with the princess.
By now you're surely wondering where you can play these games. Fortunately for you, they're all located in the same place, and you can play each of them for free; how do you like them apples?
This magical place where free adult games exist is called easysexgames.com.
Easy to remember, easy to play.
Well, what are you waiting for, go over there and play those free adult games!

President's NCASC Speech - Press Release
11 Oct 2017 in Home / General Subject / President's NCASC Speech - Press Release /
ADCS President's opening address National Children and Adult Services Conference
On Wednesday 11 October 2017, Alison Michalska, President of the Association of Directors of Children's Services (ADCS) gave her opening address at the National Children and Adult Services (NCAS) conference in Bournemouth.
On deprivation
"We are I think, I hope, beginning to see a move away from some aspects of austerity but families living in deprived areas will continue to suffer unless some flexibility can be introduced to the benefits regime. ADCS has today published a new policy position paper, 'A country that works for all children', which highlights the issues in current public policy, including the impact of austerity and an increasingly fragmented approach to public services overlaid with poverty, that are cumulatively having a negative impact on children and their families."
On supporting migrant and asylum seeking children and families
"This is a massive challenge for us all. Nevertheless, it is a moral duty to support people fleeing from unimaginable horrors. It's hard to know with precision just how much money local government spends every year supporting families who have no recourse to public funds we think it entirely possible that this figure is well over £100 million a year. These vulnerable families have no legal entitlement to financial support or assistance from the state. But councils cannot and will not leave these families in destitution."
On systems leadership
"Improved outcomes for children must be the golden thread running through government policy and I include in that Brexit negotiations. Indeed, it must be the foundation of building a country that works for all children. I was asked recently at a conference I was speaking at, what would be the one thing I would ask of the Prime Minister if she was in the room. The answer was easy…please Prime Minister will you be a systems leader for children across government, exerting your influence in the interests of children. I would like the Prime Minister to be a 'super-DCS' seeking policy coordination and the marshalling of resources from across the multitude of central government departments with responsibilities for aspects of children's lives."
On sector-led improvement
"ADCS, the LGA and Solace have been working together on a proposition for the creation of a trusted and coherent sector-led improvement model in children's services. A model that not only catches authorities before they fall, but also matches the strengths and areas for development in authorities on an improvement trajectory. Every council has something to give and every council has something to learn regardless of the dangerously over-simplistic one-word judgement labels bestowed upon them by Ofsted. The expertise and the skills required to improve children's services lie within the sector itself but the sector needs resourcing so it can build capacity that can be released and shared safely and we are talking to the DfE about this."
The full speech can be found here

Q: Trying to read preferences upon BOOT_COMPLETED I am setting an alarm from my app, and when rebooting, I see I need to reset the alarm since it does not survive reboots. I created a broadcast receiver to receive BOOT_COMPLETED and this works so my manifest must be correct.
When I try this line of code below I get in trouble. I need to retrieve the time that I need to set the alarm to but it looks like I cannot access the prefs of my app (called S) because my app has never started. NullPointerException :
if ( S.prefs.getBoolean(S.SCHEDULEDSTATUS, false) == true ) { }

I suppose it should be obvious that I cannot read a public static final of an activity that has not been created.
Do I have to store my alarm time in a file or am I missing something here?

A: You have to access it via the context you get in your reciever:
    public void onReceive(Context con, Intent intent) {

            final SharedPreferences settings = con.getSharedPreferences(PREFS, 0);

    boolean boolValue = settings.getBoolean(BOOL, false);
}
