Q: How to rename selected columns using dplyr with new column names as strings I have the following tibble:
library(tidyverse)
df <- structure(list(Sepal.Length = c(5.1, 4.9, 4.7, 4.6, 5), Sepal.Width = c(3.5,
3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.6), Petal.Length = c(1.4, 1.4, 1.3, 1.5, 1.4)), .Names = c("Sepal.Length",
"Sepal.Width", "Petal.Length"), row.names = c(NA, 5L), class = c("tbl_df",
"tbl", "data.frame"))

That looks like this:
> df
# A tibble: 5 × 3
  Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length
*        <dbl>       <dbl>        <dbl>
1          5.1         3.5          1.4
2          4.9         3.0          1.4
3          4.7         3.2          1.3
4          4.6         3.1          1.5
5          5.0         3.6          1.4

What I want to do is to replace Sepal.Length and Petal.Length with appended string to_app <- ".xxx" resulting in:
  Sepal.Length.xxx Sepal.Width Petal.Length.xxx
          5.1         3.5          1.4
          4.9         3.0          1.4
          4.7         3.2          1.3
          4.6         3.1          1.5
          5.0         3.6          1.4

I tried this with error:
df %>% rename(paste(Sepal.Length,to_app,sep="") = Petal.Length,paste(Sepal.Width,to_app,sep="") = Petal.Length)

Error: unexpected '=' in "df %>% rename(paste(Sepal.Length,to_app,sep="") ="

A: df %>% setNames(paste0(names(.), to.app))

# A tibble: 5 × 3
  Sepal.Length.xxx Sepal.Width.xxx Petal.Length.xxx
*            <dbl>           <dbl>            <dbl>
1              5.1             3.5              1.4
2              4.9             3.0              1.4
3              4.7             3.2              1.3
4              4.6             3.1              1.5
5              5.0             3.6              1.4

EDIT:
Apologies for not reading properly. Here's a solution with data.table package.
var <- names(df)[c(1,3)]
df %>% setnames(., var, paste0(var, to.app))
df

# A tibble: 5 × 3
  Sepal.Length.xxx Sepal.Width Petal.Length.xxx
*            <dbl>       <dbl>            <dbl>
1              5.1         3.5              1.4
2              4.9         3.0              1.4
3              4.7         3.2              1.3
4              4.6         3.1              1.5
5              5.0         3.6              1.4

A: You can use the rename_at() function for this (starting in dplyr_0.7.0) or rename_with() (starting in dplyr_1.0.0).
For example, you can pass the variables you want to rename as strings.  In your example, the paste0 function can be used to append on the appropriate suffix to each column.
cols = c("Sepal.Length", "Petal.Length")
to_app = ".xxx"

For dplyr_1.0.0, use rename_with().  The function argument comes before the column argument.  You can use the tidy-select function all_of() (or others) to choose columns.
rename_with(df, .fn = ~paste0(., to_app), .cols = all_of(cols) )

# A tibble: 5 x 3
  Sepal.Length.xxx Sepal.Width Petal.Length.xxx
*            <dbl>       <dbl>            <dbl>
1              5.1         3.5              1.4
2              4.9         3                1.4
3              4.7         3.2              1.3
4              4.6         3.1              1.5
5              5           3.6              1.4

Earlier versions of dplyr use rename_at().  This has been superseded in version 1.0.0, which means there are new functions to use as above but this particular function is not going away.
rename_at(df, cols, list( ~paste0(., to_app) ) )

# A tibble: 5 x 3
  Sepal.Length.xxx Sepal.Width Petal.Length.xxx
*            <dbl>       <dbl>            <dbl>
1              5.1         3.5              1.4
2              4.9         3.0              1.4
3              4.7         3.2              1.3
4              4.6         3.1              1.5
5              5.0         3.6              1.4

You can also use the select helper functions to choose variables for renaming, such as contains.
rename_at(df, vars( contains("Length") ), list( ~paste0(., ".xxx") ) )

# A tibble: 5 x 3
  Sepal.Length.xxx Sepal.Width Petal.Length.xxx
*            <dbl>       <dbl>            <dbl>
1              5.1         3.5              1.4
2              4.9         3.0              1.4
3              4.7         3.2              1.3
4              4.6         3.1              1.5
5              5.0         3.6              1.4

This list() coding replaces the previous funs() coding starting in dplyr_0.7.0.  Previously, e.g., funs( paste0(., to_app) )

A: EDIT: these days, I'd recommend using dplyr::rename_with, as per @aosmith's answer. Write a function that takes your old column names as input and returns your new column names as output, and you're done :)
I'm a little late to the party on this, but after staring at the programming vignette for a long time, I found the relevant example in the Different input and output variable
.
In my simpler use case, I just needed to rename a column to the value of a string:
> df1 = data_frame(index = 1:5, value = c(10, 20, 30, 40, 50))
> df1
# A tibble: 5 x 2
  index value
  <int> <dbl>
1     1    10
2     2    20
3     3    30
4     4    40
5     5    50

> newname = 'blau'
> newname2 = 'wheee'

> df1 %>% rename(!!newname := value, !!newname2 := index)
# A tibble: 5 x 2
  wheee  blau
  <int> <dbl>
1     1    10
2     2    20
3     3    30
4     4    40
5     5    50

So if you're happy to do that manually, you can just:
df %>%
  rename(!!paste("Sepal.Length", "xxx", sep = ".") := Sepal.Length)

If, however, you need something that automatically appends ".xxx" to whatever column name is supplied to it, I recommend you have a close look at that section. It's still a bit over my head, unfortunately, but I can see that it's doable >_>

A: Assuming the aim is to rename all columns that contain "Length":
colnames(df) <- ifelse(grepl("Length", colnames(df)),
                       paste0(colnames(df), to_app),
                       colnames(df))

A: The best I can do in the development version of dplyr (to be released on May 11th):
cols <- c("Sepal.Length", "Petal.Length")
to_app <- ".xxx"
ns <- paste0(cols, to_app)

rename(df,
       !!ns[1] := !!as.name(cols[1]),
       !!ns[2] := !!as.name(cols[2]))

To do this fully programatically, one needs to use quos instead:
xx <- do.call(quos, setNames(map(cols, as.name), ns))
rename(df, !!!xx)

Both give:

# A tibble: 5 × 3
  Sepal.Length.xxx Sepal.Width Petal.Length.xxx
*            <dbl>       <dbl>            <dbl>
1              5.1         3.5              1.4
2              4.9         3.0              1.4
3              4.7         3.2              1.3
4              4.6         3.1              1.5
5              5.0         3.6              1.4

One liner:
rename(df, !!!do.call(quos, setNames(map(cols, as.name), paste0(cols, to_app))))

A: If you want to use dplyr's rename function, it would be best to create a named vector / list and call it using the .dots argument in the standard evaluation version:
cols <- c("Sepal.Length", "Petal.Length")
to_app <- ".xxx"
cols <- setNames(cols, paste0(cols, to_app))

df %>% rename_(.dots = cols)

## A tibble: 5 × 3
#  Sepal.Length.xxx Sepal.Width Petal.Length.xxx
#*            <dbl>       <dbl>            <dbl>
#1              5.1         3.5              1.4
#2              4.9         3.0              1.4
#3              4.7         3.2              1.3
#4              4.6         3.1              1.5
#5              5.0         3.6              1.4

Note however, that this approach is subject to change with the next version 0.6.0 of dplyr (see e.g. http://blog.rstudio.org/2017/04/13/dplyr-0-6-0-coming-soon/ and http://dplyr.tidyverse.org/articles/programming.html).


Despite the fact that its plumage does not display the four or five colours normally associated with barbets, and that it whistles while others "took-truk", it is still a member of the Asian barbets. The Brown Barbet lives in groups and is common throughout the lowlands of Borneo. In the northern part of Borneo, this subspecies Calorhamphus f. tertius displays a rufous-orange chin and throat while laying claims to Bornean endemicity.

"In the gutters where the good times end…" sings Kilo Kash on new track, "Locket." On your first listen, you'd be forgiven as dismissing this as simply a catchy refrain, but it goes deeper than that. Perhaps it was just good timing, or perhaps Kitsune's latest and greatest has tapped into something more fundamental here.
The video itself, directed by Phillip T. Annand, shows our protagonist listlessly going through the motions as she feels like the centrepiece and the outsider all at once, all too aware that the party's over before it's even begun. The track is taken from Kilo Kash's new EP, Across. Watch the video for it, above.

NFL STRATEGIES
Show, Place, Win
by Dennis Ranahan
It took me nearly 40 years of professional handicapping before I landed on a wagering method that compliments both my strategy for picking winners and quest to maximize profits. Not only that, but I didn't uncover this gold mine during a football campaign, but rather during last year's basketball season.
Long before I became a professional handicapper in 1981, and even before I worked in the front office of the Oakland Raiders beginning in 1973, I had developed charts to show that motivation is the most important factor in reliably identifying point spread winners. Talent is already reflected in the posted point spreads and public opinion, but the factors that tip the spread advantages to the favorite or underdog are tied to the motivation of the teams entering the contest.
This strategy most often lands me on selections that by most accounts would be on the inferior team in the contest based on talent alone, but get the edge that is driven by the motivational factors. For 38 years, I had taken the brunt of occasional tough losses with underdogs that jumped ahead, led at halftime, but didn't have the horses to finish the game on top.
Few things are more disappointing than making a point spread selection that jumps ahead of a more talented opponent and leads the game into the fourth quarter only to have the real talent in the battle prevail in the end and cover the line on the game.
While the primary focus of Qoxhi Picks has always been the National Football League, we have offered season clients selections on the NCAA Basketball Tournament and NBA Playoffs. While the ball is a different shape than we handicap in the NFL, the motivation that dictates results is the same.
HEADLINE PLAY
Confident Coach
The coach looked out over the field as he entered the stadium where his San Francisco 49ers would meet the American Football Conference Champion in the Super Bowl. The coach knew he would be facing a young quarterback that had a record breaking season and was the toast of the football world.
His team had opened as a slight favorite over the team with the explosive quarterback, 1½ points, but now on game day that number had been bet up to 3 points. Did the coach know that the gambling world was confident his team could handle the quarterback who had a set of receivers seemingly capable of scoring at any time from anywhere on the field?
Didn't matter.
The 49ers coach would later say he entered that stadium with more confidence his team would win that Super Bowl than any other game he ever coached.
While the circumstances may in many ways parallel the game played next Sunday in Miami, the contest outlined above was actually played 35 years ago at Stanford Stadium. It was the 49ers in that game, but their opponent was not the Kansas City Chiefs, but rather the Miami Dolphins. And the prolific young quarterback for the 49ers opponent was not Patrick Mahomes, but rather Dan Marino.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was the top movie of the day and the song from that picture topped the Billboard charts, Rain Drops Keep Fallin' on My Head. Richard Nixon was in his first term as President, still more than two years before the Watergate breakin and ensuing scandal, and the National Football League had not yet played a game billed as a Super Bowl before it kicked off.
It was January, 1970, only weeks after Lamar Hunt's daughter had been playing with a toy called "Super Ball" that bounced into the room where her father and other league representatives were meeting in preparation for the fourth game between the American and National football leagues. The bouncing toy inspired one of the meeting participants to suggest that this game should be called the Super Bowl.
The fourth game played between the two competing leagues, a matchup that pitted the NFL's Minnesota Vikings against the AFL's Kansas City Chiefs, was the first game to be billed as the Super Bowl. It was also the last game played played before the two leagues joined forces and established the National and American football conferences of the NFL. Three teams that had been NFL franchises, the Baltimore Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns, joined ten AFL teams to comprise the American Football Conference.
In a deal negotiated four years earlier, the two leagues had met in a game to conclude the 1966, 1967 and 1968 seasons, billed as the AFL/NFL Championship Game. The more established league, the NFL, had dominated the first two games between the leagues with the Green Bay Packers beating the Chiefs to complete the 1966 season, 35-10, and Vince Lombardi's squad downing the Oakland Raiders, 33-14, the following year.
Goal Line Stand
The San Francisco 49ers were the top seed in the National Football Conference. The Kansas City Chiefs the second seed in the American Football Conference. One of them is going to win Super Bowl LIV, which means that since 1990 the Super Bowl has 22 times been won by a team that had a bye during the Wild Card Weekend.
Eight teams are in action during the Wild Card round, while four teams, the top two seeds in each conference, get an opening postseason week bye. For the record, 20 other teams get an opening week bye, but that includes not participating in the playoffs at all.
Okay, so since 1990, only eight teams lower than a second seed have won the Vince Lombardi Trophy, which has been captured by 14 top seeds and 7 second seeds. One of those numbers will go up after the action is complete on February 2nd at Hard Rock Stadium.
Which begs this question? Did this Super Bowl matchup get decided on the last day of the regular season?
The Chiefs looked almost assured of a third seed when they took the field on December 29th in a battle against one of their AFC West Division rivals, the Los Angeles Chargers. Even with a win, the Chiefs had no chance of catching the top seed Baltimore Ravens while the second seed was a near certainty to go to the New England Patriots, who only needed to win at home against the Miami Dolphins to clinch the number two seed.
Numbers are History
I love numbers.
The exactness of them. The absolute balance between positive and negative when the sum is zero.
Numbers tell us that it is 19 degrees and sunny in Kansas City today where the Chiefs will host the Tennessee Titans in the American Football Conference Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium. For the record, it will be 40 degrees warmer at Levi's Stadium for the later game when the San Francisco 49ers entertain the Green Bay Packers to crown the National Football Conference Champion.
I like it when numbers surprise me. They did twice this week while I was doing the work on the NFL Championship Games. First, I had to take a second look and double, triple check that the Tennessee Titans have actually scored more points than the Kansas City Chiefs since the ninth week of this season. Now, mind you the Titans have played one more game because both teams had their byes in the second half of the season but the Titans also played in the Wild Card round while the Chiefs enjoyed a bye week gained when the New England Patriots dropped their regular season finale to the Miami Dolphins.
Numbers don't lie, the Titans have scored 26 more points than the Chiefs since the two teams met in November in Nashville, a game won by Tennessee, 35-32. Wouldn't you just think that Patrick Mahomes has put up more points than anybody this year? In fact, the 49ers have scored the most points this season, including playoffs, with 506. The Chiefs are second with 502, and while Tennessee has only scored 450 this season, their offense has had a major upshift since Ryan Tannehill replaced Marcus Mariota at quarterback.

Footprint Architects has recently completed the refurbishment and new interior fit-out of the learning resource centre at Bournemouth and Poole College.
The concept for the design is the zoning of the different curriculum areas within the library. These clusters are represented using different materials, colours and textures. The scheme raises the ceiling incorporating a double height area wrapped in american white oak and four coloured perimeter seating pods.
The scheme also includes the provision of new project rooms, an IT suite and a further specialist library area. The refurbishment works include A new frameless glass entrance screen, new furniture, zoned floor finishes, and a new lighting scheme.

Beautiful bracelet and powerful symbol of the "peace symbol" also known as the peace symbol.
International peace symbol Peace symbol is a circle with a vertical line in the middle of which two slashes run to both sides is an international symbol for peace (☮). It was first used in protests against nuclear weapons and nuclear energy (Ban-the-Bomb sign).
The symbol was designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom, a British designer and artist. He did so on behalf of a campaign for nuclear disarmament. The symbol is based on the flag semaphore: the two slashes both sides "N" for "Nuclear" and the vertical line is "D" for "Disarmament".

I have recently noticed something that I'm dubbing "the turing complete framework". It is not a good thing if your framework is "turing complete". Examples of such frameworks are AngularJS, Meteor, Ember.js, ExtJS, Rails, Django, etc. All my examples are from the web development world because that is what I'm most familiar with but I'm sure every domain has their own set of "turing complete frameworks".
Frameworks are supposed to limit and restrict the programmer's expressivity and guide them in the right direction by providing a set of composable abstractions with strong guarantees for solving a specific set of problems. Type systems in statically typed languages are an excellent example of what all frameworks should strive to be. In exchange for giving up some dynamic run time behavior a well designed type system gives me strong guarantees about my code and allows the compiler to make it faster. Another good example of something that frameworks should strive for is your favorite parser generator. A parser generator is tailor made for describing textual patterns. Now some are better than others but they all have the same unifying principle guiding them. I give a parser generator a pattern description and out comes a program in my host language of choice with strong guarantees for memory and runtime usage for recognizing and transforming those patterns.
What kind of guarantees do the abstractions in any of the above mentioned "turing complete frameworks" give you? If you can't answer that questions then that framework is useless and should be thrown out.

A simple wrapper around [`winston`](https://github.com/winstonjs/winston) that
helps give context to your logs.

### Deprecated. Opt to use winston or bunyan directly.

# Installation

```bash
npm install --save logget
```

# Usage

Simple usage:

The object that gets returned can be used like a winston logger instance.

```js
var log = require('logget')();

log.silly('silly log');
log.debug('debugging all the things');
log.verbose('blah blah blah');
log.info('logging stuff...');
log.warn('hey shouldn\'t we fix that?');
log.error('release the kraken');
```

Advanced usage:

If you pass in a string to the function, it will prefix your messages with that
string wrapped around square brackets.

```js
// app.js
var log = require('logget')('app');
log.info('testing'); // Will log out "info: [app] testing"

// model.js
var log = require('logget')('model');
log.info('testing'); // Will log out "info: [model] testing"
```

Expert usage:

You can customize what transports, log levels, level colors, and anything else
you can pass into `new winston.Logger()`.

```js
var Log = require('logget');
// You can only call .configure once, and it must be before you make a new log.
Log.configure({
  transports: [
    new Log.transports.Console({colorize: true})
  ],
  levels: {
    foo: 0,
    bar: 1,
    baz: 2,
    foobar: 3
  },
  colors: {
    foo: 'green',
    bar: 'blue',
    baz: 'yellow',
    foobar: 'red'
  }
});

// now in this file or any other that gets `required` after this one:
var log = require('logget')();
log.foo('bar');
log.bar('foo');
log.baz('zab');
log.foobar('hello world');
```

Bucket full of beautiful new surprises but Windows 10 might fall short of being perfect for some users. Syncing is considered a very important feature of any operating system now. As we move toward features like Continuity and Continuum, Microsoft is apparently cutting down on some important syncing features.
Why would Microsoft decide to cut down syncing features?
Users can sync Start menu layout across all the Windows 8 / 8.1 powered PCs, tablets and other devices – something you won't be able to do once Windows 10 lands on your machines.
Windows 8 / 8.1 also syncs app installations (a very important feature), however, this too will go away with Windows 10.
With Windows 8.1 and initial Windows 10 feedback we found that customers typically want to personalize the Start layout to match the device they are using. With the new Windows Store, scalability of universal Windows apps is fully supported across all of your devices. This means that customers can get their apps and settings available across all of their devices and still create custom Start tile layouts that make the most sense for each device and screen size.
Removing the Start menu layout sync seems reasonable because of a wide variety of devices that will be flaunting the upcoming operating system. However, syncing of apps installation is a very important feature and it would be a major miss as Microsoft launches truly universal apps for Windows 10. We will wait for how Microsoft justifies this move as right now this removal doesn't seem to be making any sense as it only removes an added convenience that many users were accustomed to with Windows 8/8.1.


We all wish to decorate our homes in different unique structure so to keep our interiors novel and abreast from others. Well, there are couple of important things that can really change the overall looks of your home, these things comprise of your furniture design, rugs London, curtains, lightening system, modular interiors so and so. Here, in this blog I will discuss all about the rugs and how you can pick out a best rug store for your home or office ornamentation's.
Before you make up your mind on a particular store it will be good to personally visit at least 3-4 rugs stores in order to analyze and differentiate the variety, quality and prices at different stores. But if you are busy and not able to personally visit rug store for inquiries about the rugs, then searching it over the internet will be better option for you. You must have been using online retail stores for purchasing of various kinds of household items so here you can search for Rugs London stores in your city say it is London then just type "Rug Store London" and you will easily acquired a list of retailers providing rugs in London.
Although, I am not suggesting you to buy rugs for your home online until and unless you are quite sure about the rug store and the quality of their rugs, It will be better to just spend some time on internet collect the required information about the rug stores, type of rugs they offer and price quotes associated with each rug with respect to its area, and then personally visit the most suited showroom's and select the appropriate rug for your home.
Rugs London may differ in manufacturing stuff's, quality, designs, composition techniques and prices so cautiously select rug for your place because it is going to stay in your home for long times. When visiting rug store you can drive with any of your known or friend with you who possess good knowledge of rugs and can guide you on what will suit best for your home or office.

Sade – Love Deluxe – Classic Music Review
By altrockchick on June 12, 2013
While I strive to be objective in my reviews and avoid over-personalizing the interpretation of the poetry in the lyrics, there are times when that is simply impossible.
As people living in a world where personal identity is a fragile thing, many of us turn to music to validate who we think we are, the person we would like to become or who "the real person" is inside. Some people use music to confirm their status as intellectuals (jazz, classical and Radiohead fans are notorious for this); some use music to confirm their status as rebels against dull conformity (early rockers, punks, glam rockers); still others look for one group or artist to support to enable them to raise their status by being "different."
We also use music and other art forms to increase our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. We can all name songs that expressed the thing we were feeling inside that we could never quite express, and when that happens, we deeply appreciate the artist who gave us that gift. Sometimes what we hear in the music or read in the poetry has a different meaning than what the artist had intended. That does not affect our appreciation of the artist, nor should it. For reasons we may not find in the text, the artist has touched something inside us and triggered a chain reaction of thought and emotion that is entirely personal and exquisitely liberating.
Once that happens, the meaning is permanently connected in our minds to the artist who was the catalyst behind the discovery of that meaning, and we attach a certain loyalty to that artist. In short, we identify with our artists with a passion that sometimes defies reason or explanation. This isn't a bad thing as long as "fan" doesn't become "fanatic" and the artist does not become the object of worship.
I feel very thankful that I have some kind of gene that refuses to see artists as superior human beings, but I can certainly relate to the intensity a great artist can arouse in the soul. There are certain songs that have expressed the person I wanted to be; in essence, the artist has provided me with a role model. Prince gave me Darling Nikki and Leonard Cohen gave me Suzanne to help me clarify my ideal of womanhood. However, they were not the role models themselves: they created characters I admired. The artist closest to a role model for me is Sade Adu, because she encapsulates many of the qualities that describe the person I would like to become.
She's sensual. She's not afraid to express love with passionate intensity and emotional honesty. She has presence, beauty and class. She has deep social consciousness and awareness of the world around her. She's fucking hot!
My identification with Love Deluxe is predominantly personal and the meaning I attach to several of the songs is clearly independent of either Sade's intent or the intent of her songwriting collaborators. In Love Deluxe, what I hear expressed is the deep sense of devotion that is at the heart of the kind of sexual philosophy that I practice, which, as my readers know, is what is referred to as sadomasochism.
BDSM is greatly misunderstood by the general public and even by many who claim to be practitioners, due to several distortions of its practice. The first comes from "cheap thrill" kink popularized in movies like 9 ½ Weeks and in books like Fifty Shades of Grey. The second source of misinformation arises from the fact that like other institutions in our society, males tend to dominate, and male domination literature is full of the misogyny that places the male at the center of the universe and leads to the exploitation of women with low self-esteem. The third source of misunderstanding comes from the women who figured out they could make a comfortable living playing to male fantasies of humiliation and take on the role of dominatrix to exploit people with deep psychological problems.
In my experience, BDSM is something very different. It is a form of unconditional love. It works at the deepest level of trust. It is a shared experience that requires total openness and honesty on every level so that there is no separation between the parties involved. This elimination of boundaries is critical because many of the practices of BDSM involve physical, psychological and emotional risk. Lovers who choose this path—and it must be deliberately and consciously chosen—recognize that dominance and submission are two forms of power, like yin and yang, equal in every way: each equally cherishes the body and soul of the other. The most common form of BDSM relationship (Mistress/slave, top/bottom, dominant/submissive, whatever you prefer) demands that both parties be completely devoted to one another and to helping each other realize their fullest potential as well as their deepest fantasies. When Sade sings "No Ordinary Love" to open the album, she expresses that kind of devotion: a devotion that requires no return but has no doubt it will be returned:
I gave you all the love I got.
I gave you more than I could give: I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside,
And you took my love: you took my love.
Love Deluxe isn't only about sexual forms of love, but about love for all human beings, regardless of station and especially those who are in most need of love. The next song, "Feel No Pain," is a powerful, moving and insightful song about the personal humiliation and social degradation caused by long-term unemployment. Sade demands we take responsibility for helping people make a contribution to society, urging us, "Don't let them stay home and listen to the blues." Love them! Help them!
Sade returns to the subject of romantic devotion in "I Couldn't Love You More," expressing the sexual aspect of love honestly and directly: "I wouldn't want to lay or ever love another." The juxtaposition of such a beautiful love song with a song about a war criminal ("Like a Tattoo") is both stunning and perceptive: we can't deny the existence of evil in our world, but we also can't deny the need to manifest the love and desire we feel inside. The genius of Love Deluxe owes a great deal to this woman who refuses to close her eyes to reality or deny herself the pleasure of romantic connection.
Sade is not only the name of the singer, it's the name of the band as well, and what an outstanding group of professionals they are! The arrangements combine clarity with sensuousness, melding beautifully with the unique timbre of Sade's voice. The song that best demonstrates the sensitivity of the arrangements and the professionalism of the musicians is "Kiss of Life," another romantic masterpiece. Listen to the rich combination of Paul Denman on bass and Andrew Hale on piano as it is tempered by a long, bent note from Stuart Matthewman on the sax right before Sade begins her vocal. Then pay attention to the band (difficult to do when Sade is at the microphone!) as they support her emotional expression with subtle touches like soft pizzicato guitar to express her trembling joy. Most importantly, they never interfere with or overtake her vocal; even she turns her voice into an instrument in a short back-and-forth with the sax, balance is preserved.
"Kiss of Life" is rightfully paired with the equally sensuous "Cherish the Day." The first song deals with of the moment of rebirth through love; the second with the power of commitment expressed as the desire to possess ("If you were mine, I wouldn't want to go to heaven") and the desire to be possessed ("You're ruling the way I move"). Sade's voice in "Kiss of Life" has tinges of the delight of a young girl in love; her voice on "Cherish the Day" is the voice of a woman driven by passion.
But even the power of love cannot blind us to the cruel reality of billions of people around the globe. "Pearls" expresses a level of empathy that is very difficult for the average person to achieve, in part because the average person would like to forget that places like war-torn Somalia even exist:
There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
This is how she's dying
She's dyin' to survive
Don't know what she's made of
I would like to be that brave
The string arrangement that opens "Pearls" always causes my tears to rise, as does the line "She lives in a world she didn't choose" in the last verse.
"Bullet Proof Soul" deals with the risks of love: that the person you're falling in love with is consumed with him or herself and views love as a power game. The value in the experience for the disappointed lover lies in the strengthening of the identity: "I came in like a lamb but I intend to leave like a lion." Love Deluxe ends with the dreamy instrumental, "Mermaid," allowing us a moment of reflection on the power of the music and the message that came before.
Love Deluxe will always be one of my favorite records in part because of its broad view of the human condition, the sensuous music and the character of the lead performer. More than that, it touched my soul and expressed emotions and beliefs that I'd never quite been able to articulate, and for that I am deeply grateful to Sade Adu. If you'd like to learn more about her, Tola Osiletu wrote a beautiful piece on this rather reclusive woman that I found very helpful in writing this review.

i come to your blog via rebop kwaku bash (i'm ghanaian and intrigued by the idea of west africans and their connection to psychedelic rock – cf ofege). i came to rebop via steve winwood who i heard singing dear mr fantasy on a tv program this weekend. I am a huge fan of psychedelic rock but am just discovering the fact. i liked your blog as soon as i started reading it (the interest in sex and the erudition are a hot combination). then i see your reference to sade and i like you even more (the eclectism and the individuality) then i saw the photo of the black man behind sade in the video for feel no pain and i recognised him as the sexiest man i have ever seen – i first remarked him in the video to 'the sweetest taboo' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWy3X7f4MyY). the two of them together are pure class. anyway, just to say rock on – you say you want to be like sade – you are well on your way. rock on.

Thank you! I love how you're intrigued by musical connections across cultures, which is one of my passions, too. That guy with Sade was seriously hot, too! As I've written before, brains and sexuality are a powerful combination and one does not cancel out the other! Please keep reading and giving me your insights.
a correction – same concert but the song i meant to refer to was 'haunt me' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIY8IldFN1o).

The process of jewelry making is for us, purely collaborative. There is something special that happens when we work together which sharpens the relationship to our art. We do all of our own silver/gold work using traditional fabrication methods, soldering, hand finishing/polishing, patination and gemstone setting.
We feel that when the architecture of a jewelry piece relates to the architecture of the human body the design becomes alive and in doing so is no longer a piece of static sculpture. The body moves - a jewelry piece which is designed to follow this natural motion disrupts the idea of what jewelry is in a traditional sense, it becomes organic.
Our intention is not only to make jewelry for adornment, but instead to try and step out of the box of what is expected and make designs which surprise our audience with something new or innovative and in this way invite them into the creative process.
Our studio is a hand built, solar powered adobe located near the historic village of Abiquiu, New Mexico. The juniper and chamisa studded hills, and the Chama river valley below, once inspired artist Georgia O' Keeffe. The landscape is an important backdrop in our creative life.
We experience the expression of art as an attempt to more deeply understand the world around us. By looking more closely into what we see we hope to reveal the patterns in nature. Just as buffalo grass, cactus and juniper work together to form a harmony in their landscape we use metal, fire and stone in a effort to evoke a similar harmony.
When we were in Santa Fe in late September, we met you at an outdoor crafts … I ended up buying a turquoise Iris Lariat. Whenever I wear it, I get tremendous compliments. One person who went gaga over it turns out to have studied art and jewelry making in Santa Fe years ago. He couldn't stop talking about how lovely it is. Last night, I went to a restaurant and several of the wait staff came up to me to tell me how much they liked it and to ask where I got it…of all the jewelry I bought on our trip to New Mexico, this is the piece that continues to get noticed.
Thank you for creating my new favorite necklace, which I purchased from you on May 27th in Cathedral Park. I couldn't wait to start wearing it. I was wearing it a week later on a stroll down Canyon Rd. It was admired more than a few times. I met one of the admirers when I stopped in at the gallery on Canyon to view more of them. I am sure she made a purchase of one. The salesperson couldn't say enough nice things about you both. …I may just have to order another from you.
I thank you again for your artistic creativity.
I just wanted to write to say thank you for making such beautiful jewelry. My husband gave me one of your necklaces for my birthday and it is absolutely lovely. The gal at Tresa Vorenberg gallery in Santa Fe was wearing one of your designs. She helped us pick out the necklace and showed me how to put it on.
I love it because it is so elegant and simple. My husband loves it because it is a great feat of engineering!! Congratulations, you have really created something special.

For the second successive year the KNX National Group of Australia took part in the Integrate Expo, Australia's largest trade exhibition for the Audio-Visual and Building Automation industries.
This year saw the debut of a custom built stand with the support of our Manufacturing Members - ABB, Hager Electro, mySmartCTI, Somfy and Wago. Vitors to the show were treated to displays from each of these manufacturers showcasing their latest KNX products and solutions.
In addition, a number of our Associate level members showed off their latest projects. The final day of the exhibition featured a seminar series on smart building technology hosted by KNX. Highlights of this day included presentations on how KNX can assist to secure credits in green buildings and on the Benefits of Standardisation.
Another hugely successful show and we're already looking forward to 2016!


The rotunda in the new tower Capital Building...22 stories!
Great visit in Tallahassee, FL. Best part of the visit was catching up with my nephew, Steve (Jr.) and his wife, Lara, 5 year old Nathan and 3 year old Alexandria. Steve and Lara are very dedicated parents. Their children are so much fun. Full of life and happy little creatures. Lara is amazing with them. JC and I got exhausted just watching her go with the flow with her two very energetic and well mannered kids. Looking forward to another visit sooner than later.
We started out staying at the Elks Lodge, but lost power overnight. This lodge is a little older. The camping area is among quite a trove of trees. We could not get satellite or see the wifi. We did have full hookups, but our main power cord is having issues.
We only stayed one night the Elks Lodge. Sunday night we parked ourselves at a Camping World in the area. We plugged in, and wouldn't you know it the power was working. We are still having things checked out. We had a couple of other little things we wanted done. Long story short, the massive 50 amp plug was replaced on our main power cord.
We stayed a second night at Camping World because we found a Cat Dealer just up the street that serviced RV's. We had been having issues with the tach going crazy intermittently. Along with that, we wanted the codes checked for the couple of times the Engine Service light flashed on and off. Hate those intermittent things. They are really hard to test and confirm if an issue exists or not. Well, no issues and we were current on the computer updates for the trans and engine. We did need a new serpentine belt.
So two nights free camping, but repairs/service cost a total of $620.30. I needed to do some grocery shopping for our upcoming Thanksgiving at the Chambers Farm Pow Wow with the Boomers. So, with permission, we stayed our 3rd night at the nearby Walmart.
While the rig was being worked on at the Cat dealer we visited museum which was really a zoo, science and park. It was called the Tallahassee Museum. It is really a wonderful family park focused on history, science and animals for kids.
While the rig was being worked on at Camping World we headed for downtown and visited Tallahassee's Old Capital, the new Capital and the History Museum.
Tallahassee's capitals are not fancy. Functional is the best word I can think of. The old Capital building is nice. The architecture is unique as are all of our capital buildings. The old Capital building is used as a museum. We spent at nearly 4 hours reading everything. For some reason the history and presentation was captivating.
The new Capital Building is very unattractive. Does not look like a Capital building at all. It is one of 4 in the U.S. that is a multi-storied tower. This one is 22 stories. The old and the new are situated one in front of the other. At the top, they say on a clear day you can see all the way to the Gulf Coast. Alas, not today.
The Tallahassee Historical Museum was really well done. JC could not believe it was free. They could easily have charged an entrance fee. It is located one block down behind the Capital Tower.

I just got my shipping conformation, I will be sitting by my front door all day. I will not miss them. I might even buy some adult diapers so I don't have to go to the bathroom.
ive been waiting since the 4th. was just told "looks like it should ship monday"
This happened to me today too, although for my Verizon Network Extender. My apartment is a black hole of cell service. I've had people with all four major carriers in the apartment and not one got good service.
Is this you waiting for your phone?
I'll at least have a chair!
If you leave, just put a note for Fedex saying it's OK to deliver the package and sign it. They will go ahead and leave it.
At least not around here. If the value of the package is more than $100, they won't leave it.
Yes they will, depending on the shipping that Verizon uses. If others have reported that you can write a note and have them leave it, then Verizon obviously uses the shipping method that meets the requirement below.
If your package was shipped with the Indirect Signature Release option, you may leave a signed and dated handwritten note on the door instructing the driver to leave the package at your door.
"Frequently Asked Questions" > "I won't be able to sign for my package, what can I do?"
Hmm. Okay my mistake. Sorry about that. Must be a choice by the company then. I've had a few things sent from Dell and Sideshow Collectibles, and neither would leave the package without someone present.
EDIT: I think I will actually leave a note on the door of the address where I'm having mine shipped. The house is located in the next town/county over, (sounds farther than it is) and it's a bit of a drive. I don't really feel like driving all the way out there, then all the way back + the distance to the FedEx location just to pick it up. I would rather them leave it there so that I can just drive over there and pick it up once it's delivered. The neighborhood is very new and isolated, as well as incredibly friendly. I'm not really worried about it getting jacked or something. One of my family members will most likely be there to sign for it anyway.
The day my x arrived i had been waiting all day and finally at quarter till two i had to leave for my two to eleven shift at work. I get a text at 2:15 from my girlfriend that it came and she couldn't drive cuz she was just put in a cast. I had to wait almost ten hours knowing my phone was three miles away and i had been waiting for a week already.

include perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and even death.
Under the new standards, magnets that fit in a small parts cylinder must have a flux index of less than 50 kG2 mm2. Flux index is a measure of magnetic strength.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted Wednesday to approve the new standards.
They apply to consumer products designed, marketed or intended to be used for entertainment, jewelry, mental stimulation and stress relief that contain one or more loose or separable magnets.
The rule does not apply to products sold and/or distributed solely to educators, researchers, professionals and/or commercial users exclusively for educational, research, professional, commercial and/or industrial purposes. It also doesn't apply to toys for kids under age 14 because the CPSC already has a mandatory toy standard for those.
The change goes into effect 30 days after it is published in the Federal Register. It will affect products manufactured after that date.
Emergency departments treated an estimated 26,600 cases of magnet ingestion between 2010 and last year, with cases rising each year since 2018, according to the CPSC. Seven deaths involving ingestion of hazardous magnets have occurred — two outside the United States. Most probably involved magnet sets, according to the CPSC.
Injuries can occur when kids ingest magnets, for example to mimic mouth piercings.
In 2014, the CPSC established a mandatory federal standard for magnet sets. An appeals court overturned that standard two years later and magnet ingestions and injuries rose after that, according to the CPSC.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has more on children and magnet safety.

Continuing the dialogues from 2017 and 2018, Powering Progress Together 2019 discussed how we can co-create the future of cities.
By the year 2050, the world's population could grow from the current estimated 7.7 billion people to 9.7 billion, and around 70% are expected to live in cities. Even with a huge improvement in energy efficiency, the world is likely to be using 50% more energy by 2070, compared to today.
To meet this rising demand, society will need to make fundamental changes in how energy is produced and consumed, while reducing impact to the environment. This will also require unprecedented collaboration between policy-makers, industry, civil society, and consumers across the global economy.
This year, themed "Co-creating City+", the 2019 Shell Powering Progress Together forum in Singapore explored how different players can come together to co-create, collaborate and re-imagine the future of cities, to build what we call 'City+'.
Shell's "Living Lab" approach – innovating in actual living environments
At this year's event graced by Guest-of-Honour, Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security Teo Chee Hean, Shell launched its first global City Solutions Living Lab in Singapore to help cities around the world navigate their energy transition towards a lower carbon future.
General Manager of Shell City Solutions, Emily Tan, said, "When collaborating with cities, we take a holistic view of their unique needs. The City Solutions Living Lab will originate opportunities with city stakeholders through co-visioning workshops that identify pathways towards a lower carbon future. We then innovate a suite of solutions with commercially viable business models that help meet the city's carbon reduction goals. Our team will bring in various Shell expertise available globally for seamless implementation and deployment. We can also offer unique access to an extensive network of technology partners, suppliers and contractors."
Clean energy case studies in Singapore and the region
Shell chose to base its first City Solutions Living Lab in Singapore due to the city-state's active push for energy transition and sustainability, its pro-business environment and Shell's presence in Singapore.
"Shell and Singapore have had a long history of working together, in building businesses that create sustained and meaningful value. Not only are our assets in Singapore being used as live test beds to pilot new technologies, the larger Singapore ecosystem also enables Shell to push innovative thinking even further. Energy solutions that we develop successfully here can potentially be replicated in cities around the world," said Aw Kah Peng, Chairman, Shell Companies in Singapore.
"I am delighted that Shell has chosen Singapore to be the location for its first City Solutions Living Lab. Shell's decision to develop new energy solutions in Singapore is in line with our focus on energy sustainability and reducing carbon emissions. We intend to work with Shell, and other like-minded companies, to address the needs of countries in the region and beyond in their transition to become low carbon economies," said Dr Beh Swan Gin, Chairman, Singapore Economic Development Board.
To date, Shell has worked with city officials, think-tanks, private industry players and community leaders in cities such as Singapore, Chennai (India) and Perth (Australia). With the launch of the Living Lab, Shell can now offer its collaboration architecture to more cities.
In Singapore, Shell City Solutions has worked with PSA Singapore to understand the energy needs of the Pasir Panjang Terminal and the future Tuas Port. Together, Shell and PSA identified opportunities for carbon reduction such as switching to cleaner fuel options and the study of a near net-zero energy building.
Shell has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Energy Market Authority of Singapore (EMA) to jointly work on spurring the adoption of energy storage systems (ESS). This will be achieved through piloting use cases and designing effective business models. Increased ESS adoption will support the deployment of more solar photovoltaic in Singapore.
Students imagine the future of Asian and Middle Eastern cities
Beyond these efforts, Shell also engages youths through its Imagine the Future Scenarios Competition, which is part of the highlights at PPT, to discuss the energy possibilities of tomorrow in Asian and Middle Eastern cities.
This year, a total of 237 university students and more than 40 teams from across Singapore, China, Thailand and Egypt took part in the competition. The winning national teams from each country shared their contrasting visions of future Asian and Middle Eastern cities by 2050 at this year's PPT Forum, and first place went to the University of Science and Technology in Zewail City, Egypt.
Powering Progress Together (PPT) is a global series of engagements convened by Shell to encourage dialogue about future energy challenges.

For Moravian Village in Bethlehem, PA, a partnership with Hamlyn Senior Marketing was the key to growing and sustaining occupancy during an economic downturn. Moravian Village achieved what few thought possible: growth in occupancy, and stabilization at 99% with no price discounting and very little advertising during a time of great economic instability.
A thorough, detailed assessment of sales and marketing efforts and the market area.
The comprehensive sales and marketing assessment included an evaluation not only of the current market and the community's positioning, but addressed efforts of the marketing department and the staff's skills as well. This evaluation resulted in the creation of immediate, actionable recommendations that included raising some prices.
Hands-on management of sales and marketing program.
Our experts fully trained sales staff in solid, industry selling skills, use of the REPS database for lead and sales tracking, and time management. Training is intensive and ongoing, so that staff can build and refresh their skills continually. To keep staff accountable for creating urgency with prospects, we established weekly/ monthly reporting and monitoring.
A selling Marketing and Sales Director now spends 90% of her time on direct sales activity (calls and appointments). Having seen the value of consistently applying best practices of contact management, discovery and strategic follow-up, she maintains her sales focus and continues to excel.
Based on the findings of our comprehensive study, Moravian village repositioned its message to "outstanding value" to capture attention of the moderate income audience needed to fill the community's difficult to sell smaller units. We reduced advertising spending by evaluating its effectiveness for lead generation, and reallocating spending to more productive media – for this community, it was direct mail – and increased lead generation by 26%.
Occupancy has been consistently maintained at 97%+ despite economic instability that dropped national CCRC occupancy to 86.5% in the late '00s.
Hamlyn Senior Marketing secures 15 sales in seven weeks.


The average American spends over 30 percent of their income on housing. But for minimum wage earners, their $15,000 a year salary is barely enough to make ends meet, let alone afford rising rent costs.
In fact, the median rent cost for 2014 is $1,495 and over the course of a year would total more than the entire salary of someone earning minimum wage and working 40 hours a week. These eye-opening statistics give a glimpse into just why the manufactured housing industry is becoming so popular.
Manufactured homes provide affordable housing in a society riddled by a market desperate for it. Today, manufactured homes are nothing like their counterparts of the 70's and 80's. These homes adhere to updated safety and quality standards that make manufactured homes just as good, if not better, than comparable site-built homes.
But as the appeal of affordable housing increases, so does the desire to invest in manufactured home parks. Big names like Warren Buffet are investing in parks, but often investors only see a profit margin and ignore the people.
Parks with limited amenities, aging home inventories and no capital improvements make a quick buck for investors. What they don't realize are the long-term needs of the community and how to keep the resident happy. Soon enough, more and more investors will need manufactured home property management services to help them navigate the delicate business of operating this type of community.
At Newby Management, we focus on the resident first. This means keeping the community up-to-date and investing in it through capital improvements. It also means working to increase occupancy, fill home sites with updated or new homes and constantly add to the amenities package.
For more information on the types of services Newby Management offers when managing manufactured home communities, please visit our website at www.NewbyManagement.com.


What is it with the Middle Eastern countries that makes them so fucked up?
Is it Islam? I postulate it's something more than that. From this area of the world we have gotten all the world's major religions. Could there be a genetic trait in this region of the world that caused thesee people to manufacture the God product?

Orahovica is a town in Slavonia, Croatia.  It is situated on the slopes of the mountain Papuk and positioned on the state road D2 Varaždin-Koprivnica-Našice-Osijek.

History

The name Orahovica is derived from the word orah, meaning a walnut tree.

Orahovica was first officially mentioned in the year 1228, in a historical document issued by king Andrew II. Ružica fortification, not far from Orahovica, was first mentioned in the year 1357 as a royal estate. In the 15th and the first half of the 16th century the town was a thriving community owned by various patricians (Nikola Kont, Lovro Iločki, Ladislav Iločki, Ladislav More etc.)

Suleiman I, in his 1542 campaign, conquered Orahovica. It was renamed as "Rahoviçe" and initially was kaza centre in Sanjak of Pojega, which initially part of Budin Eyalet (1542-1580), later in Bosna Eyalet (1580-1600) and finally in Kanije Eyalet. It became a notable sanjak centre in Kanije Eyalet in 1601. The Turkish rule lasted till the year 1687. After the liberation, and up until the end of the 19th century many prominent noble families, like the Pejačević family, and the Mihalović family, owned the town.

In the late 19th century and early 20th century, Orahovica was part of the Virovitica County of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia.

In the 20th century the town was a centre of a large municipality with a well-developed industry, and agriculture.

During the Croatian War of Independence Orahovica suffered from a number of shell attacks that caused certain material damage.

It received the status of a town () in 1997.

Economy

Whether you should put your staff on camera is a question many company bosses will be asking themselves once they've commissioned someone to make them a video.
Do you want your actual staff to be in it at all? A go-to option for a lot of companies is to have the manager, CEO, or the PR rep be on camera, as they will often have more experience talking to people and giving coherent answers. While Dan from IT might know everything about the product, and Sasha from Front of House might get on well with the customers, can they string a sentence together and work well with a film crew stood before them? If in doubt, always pick the safe option.
How do they act on camera?
People act differently when in front of the camera, no matter how confident or self-assured they are in everyday life. Watch out if your staff tend to look into the camera, lots of people naturally do this, but unless the director wants them to, it can look amateur. If possible, see how individual members of staff act when you put a camera up to them, this doesn't have to be a full on cinema camera, just a phone will do. It will help you decide who works best on-screen and who to avoid using.
Whoever you ultimately choose to be in the video, make sure they know they're going to be filmed before the crew arrive, ensure they know what to say, and what they're going to be doing. It will save time and hopefully reflect in the final product.
If you're just filming staff doing their jobs as they would on a day to day basis, whether they'll say the right thing is less of an issue. But if you really want them to have 'starring roles', make sure they know what they're going to be saying before they start filming; make a list of points to remember, or give them fully formed answers if necessary. Practice with them in advance if they need to. Make sure they listen to the director and help them out yourself if you need to.
While not relating to what happens during the filming as such, it does help the editors. Make sure you have the names and job titles of everyone in the video ready to send in an email. This will help the editors make those name tag graphics (or "lower thirds") like the ones you see on the news. The editor will probably ask for these if you don't provide them, but having them ready in advance speeds up the process.
So, those are some points to consider whether you should consider putting your staff in your company video, we hope this helps you when planning your next one.
