Musings & Amusings
With threads on the "Muse & Music", "Three Reigning Queens", and "One of a Kind" in steady progress, I thought I will divert my attention to some other actors of the last half of the last century whose work has resulted in some great music. I received feelers from several members to start something like this, even though not at this scale. With these thoughts in mind, I have selected to look into the works of seven actors. These are:
Raaj Kumar
Rajendra Kumar
Sunil Dutt
Between them they made nealy 1200 movies. Starting today, I will post albums from their movies, probably one for each day. I happen to have CDs of most of this work, but may need occasional help. The Forum members have been gracefully great in cooperating. Thank you for all your suport. I am hoping I will continue to get similar support for this thread as well.
Now let us look at the individual filmographies of these actors ...
Amitabh Bachchan - "The Angry Young Man"
Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most significant personalities of the Indian cinema. He was very popular during 70's and 80's and later successfully revived his career starting in 2000. He proved to be one of the most resilient individuals.
During the height of his popularity he almost died in a freak accident performing his own stunt for a movie. After recovering, he saw his fortunes decline. He started his own production company and saw his wealth vanish on some foolish endeavors. Then suddenly, like phoenix rising from ashes, in 2000, he was back with a bang. He made waves on TV as a host of a popular game show. He started acting his age in several notable and successful movies. At one point, it appeared that in early 2000's he was in almost every movie that was coming out of Mumbai.
Introduced by the great K.A. Abbas in the movie "Saat Hindustani� in 1969, initially he struggled to get a foothold in the industry. His fortunes changed with "Zanjeer� in which he portrayed the role of an angry young man. This established his persona and many hugely successful movies came with this trait of the actor at its core.
He won several awards during an illustrious career that includes three National awards and 12 Filmfare awards. He was elected as the star of the millennium by a British magazine that was open to all professional stars of not only present days but bygone days as well.
Amitabh entered briefly into politics. After winning an important election, he resigned from the job. He acted in over 200 movies in a career spanning 40 years. Here is his part 1 of his filmography …

Here are his second and third parts of the filmography ...
Here are his fourth and final parts of the filmography ...
Dharmendra - "The He Man"
Dharmendra entered into movies via a talent contest. His rugged looks and easy going nature made him one of very likeable stars in the film industry. Noted more for good looks than histrionics, once established as an actor he was in very much demand until very late in his career. But it wasn't without struggle in his early and formative years. He made his acting debut with the film "Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere� in 1960. But, it was Bimalda's "Bandini (1963)� that brought him recognition as an actor. After that he never looked back.
He entered politics and won a parliamentary seat. He is on record for not attending a single session.
Dharmendra never won any awards for movies he was in. He acted in over 250 movies in a career spanning 47 years. Here is his first part of the filmography …

Here are the 4, 5, and the final parts of Dharmendra's filmography ...
Jeetendra – The "Jumping Jack�
Jeetendra, nicknamed as "Jumping Jack� for his dancing skills came into movies almost by accident. His family was in the business that dealt with imitation jewelry. While delivering some of the jewelry to the venerable Shantaram, who was making "Navrang (1959)� at that time, he was offered to act as a double for the leading lady of that movie, Sandhya. That he did. It eventually led to his debut as a hero in Shantaram's "Geet Gaya Pattharon Ne� in 1964.
It was "Farz� in 1967, an imitation of a James Bond movie, that gave him an opportunity to do dancing for some of the songs. The movie was a huge hit and he became a favorite with producers from South in which he played almost the same role over and over again. Surprisingly, most of these movies were huge hits.
Jeetendra never won any awards for the films he was in. He acted in over 200 movies in a career spanning 45 years. Here is part 1 of his filmography …
Jeetendra Filmography - Parts 2 & 3
Here are parts 2 & 3 of Jeetendra's filmography ...
Here are part 4 and the final part of Jeetendra's filmography ...
Manoj Kumar - "Mr. Bharat"
Manoj was a man of many talents. Besides being an actor, he was a producer, director, editor, story, screenplay, dialogue, and lyric writer. Because he made several movies with patriotic themes and played the role whose name always was "Bharat�, he was nicknamed as "Mr. Bharat�.
While growing up he idolized Dilip Kumar. After graduating from school, he decided to enter into the movie industry. He changed his name to Manoj Kumar after the name of the character Dilip played in the movie "Shabnam� in 1949.
Manoj made his debut in a small role in "Fashion� in 1957. But the movie established him as a bonafied star was "Hariyali Aur Raasta� released in 1962.
Manoj won several Filmfare awards in various categories; Best Picture, Best Director, Best Story, Best Dialogue, and Best Actor. Quite an accomplishment. He has acted in less than 60 movies in a career spanning 40 years. Here is his filmography …
Raaj Kumar - The "Jaani" Man
Raaj Kumar made his debut as an actor in a small role in 1952 in "Rangili�. He appeared in several movies after the debut but mostly went unnoticed. Things changed with Mehboob Khan's masterpiece "Mother India� released in 1957. He had a major supporting role and his performance was critically praised.
Raaj was famous for dialogue delivery that became his trademark. He played all types of roles that came along his way.
His son Puru, who had several problems with law, tried unsuccessfully to become an actor.
Raaj won Filmfare awards as the Best Supporting Actor a couple of times. He acted in over 70 movies in a career spanning 43 years. Here is his filmography …
Rajendra Kumar - The "Jubilee Hero"
Rajendra Kumar made his debut in a bit role in 1950 in the film "Jogan� which starred Nargis and Dilip Kumar. In the beginning of his career he tried to emulate Dilip, in acting, mannerisms, and dialogue delivery. He even started combing like him. Soon he found his own groove with Mehboob Khan's "Mother India�, released in 1957. But it was "Goonj Uthi Shehnai� made in 1959 that established him as a star in his own right.
In 60's and early 70's his star had a meteoric rise. Almost every film he made was a jubilee hit. Apparently at one point, he had seven jubilee films, all running at the same time. This earned him the nickname "Jubilee Hero�.
Like many other stars, his star status declined by mid 1970's. Then he was back in form at the end of 70's by playing more mature roles starting with "Saajan Bina Suhaagan (1978)�.
Rajendra produced and directed few movies. He tried to launch his son Kumar Gaurav as an actor but wasn't successful.
Rajendra never won any wards for the movies he was in though was nominated a few times. He acted in nearly 100 movies in a career spanning 48 years. Here is his filmography …
Sunil Dutt - The "Gentleman Actor"
Sunil Dutt was a successful radio announcer for Radio Ceylon Hindi programs. He made his film debut in 1955 with "Railway Platform�. Couple of years later, he had a major breakthrough as an actor with Mehboob Khan's "Mother India� which proved to be a fertile ground for many aspiring actors. The very next year he married Nargis, who played his mother in "Mother India�.
Sunil was a close friend of writer Agha Jani Kashmiri, who was instrumental in bringing Nargis to the movies. They collaborated in many movies together.
He made history by producing and directing a one-actor movie called "Yaadein� in 1964. He produced many movies and directed a few. His son Sanjay is also a popular actor.
When his wife Nargis passed away, he set up an organization called "Nargis Dutt Foundation� that helps raise money for cancer research.
He was elected to congress many times and served as a cabinet minister.
Sunil won the Filmfare award as the Best Actor a couple of times in his career. He acted in over 100 movies in a career spanning nearly 50 years. Here is his part 1 of the filmography …
Sunil Dutt Filmography Parts 2 & 3
Here are part 2 and the final part of Sunil Dutt filmography ...
(Amitabh) Saat Hindustani (1969)
This is the movie in which Amitabh made his acting debut. It was made by the great K.A. Abbas. Amitabh won the National Award as the Best Newcomer for his portrayal in the movie.
Unfortunately, I have only one song from this movie. I am hoping that other members can come forward to help share the missing songs shown in red italics in the table below.
Here is the one song I have ...
(Dharmendra) Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere (1960)
Dharmendra made his debut with this movie. It has some beautiful songs. One of the popular ones is "Mujh Ko Iss Raat Ki" sung separately by both Lata and Mukesh. Because of the number of songs, I am uploading these in back-to-back two posts. Here is the first set of songs ...

(Jeetendra) Geet Gaaya Pattharon Ne (1964)
Jeetendra made his debut with this Shantaram's musical. It has several beautiful numbers and one wonders why Ramlal gave music to only few Hindi films, that too only for Shantaram. I'm not sure how popular he was in Marathi movies.
By the way this story was a clever adaptation of a sculptor named "Jakkanna". Earlier this was made in Telugu as "Amara Shilpi Jakkanna". I will upload these songs later in this section.

Amara Shilpi Jakkanna (1964) - A Telugu Film
This movie, a historically true story of a famous sculptor, is also the basis of Shantaram's "Geet Gaaya Pattharon Ne" that uses social backdrop. I am uploading songs of these in back-to-back two posts.
The song "Ee Nallani Rallalo" was a poem written many years earlier by the famous poet CNR during his college days. It was published in his college magazine titled as "Ramappa".

(Sunil) Railway Platform (1955)
Sunil Dutt made his acting debut with this 1955 movie. It has some beautiful songs composed by Madan Mohan to the rich lyrics of Sahir. I will upload these songs in back-to-back two posts. Here is the first set of songs ...
Songs of "Railway Platform (1955)" Continued ...
Here are the rest of the songs from this album including the extended version of "Basti Basti". I am including here both parts of "Andheri Nagri". Full song was uploaded in the first part. Interestingly the time duration for the whole is less than the parts. Also there is a song here, "Dekh Tere Bhagwaan" which is a take on the hit song from "Nastik" written and sung by Kavi Pradeep, "Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan".
Now for the songs ...
(Amitabh) Bombay Talkie (1970)
Apparently Amitabh had a brief role in this movie where he is seen in a funeral procession. It is Usha Uthup's hip singing that gives a lift to the songs with able assists from Asha, Rafi, and Kishore where Shankar & Jaikishan provide the music.
Both instrumentals I am uploading are interesting. The title music starts with a song in the background you can hear briefly and then it drowns in the razzle dazzle of Mumbai street noise. The other instrumental is a beautiful piece that is based on Uthup's "Good Times" song. The instrumental music is nearly 30 seconds longer in duration compared to the actual song but is real pleasing to listen to.

(Jeetendra) Boond Jo Ban Gayi Moti (1967)
After appearing in a bit role in Shantaram's "Stree (1961)" and later in a supporting role in "Sehra (1963)", finally Mumtaz made the richly deserving grade to be Shantaram's leading lady in this film. This was also Jeetendra's second movie with Shantaram. Interestingly, music director Satish Bhatia makes use of Suman Kalyanpur in three solos and a duet. I don't know when Suman sang this many songs in an important movie. The album also has one of my favorite solos of Mukesh, "Hari Hari Vasundhara". Great lyrics. Beautiful composition. Soul stirring singing.

I'm not sure if I missed the option, but I took a look and could not find it.
Pretty self-explanatory suggestion from the title. I didn't notice there wasn't an option until I attempted to reply to multiple people in one post using a multi-quote feature.
I'm not sure whether or not this is a feature that could be implemented, as that's something for the site administrators, but in the meanwhile one way you can quote multiple people in a post is by selecting "Quote" for the first person you would like to reply to, then scrolling down the topic summary and selecting the "insert quote" button at the top right of the post you want to respond directly to.
I'll start looking into how we can implement this feature and try to get it rolled out within a month or two. I'll keep you all updated!


Wrote this up a bit ago, posting since a couple of people said it would be interesting to read. I've only ever read slush for Ideomancer, but based on that and my experience with submitting stories and reading other writers' anecdotes of submitting stories, these are all pretty general. Proportions of form/personal rejections vary with market, of course; a site like Duotrope can give you an idea of that ratio.
Rejectomancy is very tempting as a writer. "What did they mean?" and "did they like it?" and "did they hate it?" "do they hate me?"
1. "Not right for us" has approximately fifty meanings. No one can tell which one is applicable except the person sending the letter.
2. Getting a response either more quickly or more slowly than the estimated time online...well, mostly means nothing. Except "I need time later in the week for this other stuff" or "ohgod finals slush will have to wait" or "I traded a piece of slush with someone, and theirs came in later but I'm doing slush now so I may as well get it done" or something else unrelated to the submitted piece in question.
3. A personalized rejection and a rewrite request can be structured and worded similarly, but they are not the same thing.
4. Each story really is considered on its own merits.
4b. Publishing credits in a cover letter don't do much for me as a slush reader. It's nice, sometimes, but the story is what we're considering. I have loved stories with bare-bones cover letters, and been meh about stories that came in with impressive publishing credits in the cover letter.
5. Personal preference can never completely be avoided, but slush readers do try to get their brains out of the way of the story.
These transfer to not freaking out when I submit stories, and have partially but not entirely transferred to not freaking out about submitting a novel query to agents. There's stuff to be learned from slush-reading about the actual work with words of writing, too, but most of that doesn't fit neatly into lists.
1. Finally read Gun With Occasional Music. I think I had read it before; in the light of having read The Big Sleep and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, it read very differently. This completes my Noiry (Cyberpunk) Trifecta.
2. Tipping The Velvet. omg, the cloooothes.
4. Getting nice rejection letters, and finding new markets to send said story out to that I think, well, hope will really like them. It's satisfying in a whole different way than working on novels.
5. Wolfram Alpha, which saved me from integrating by parts at least five times today.
6. Thanksgiving break this week, after just two days of classes!
If I were someone else, I might stay up a few more hours until I could reach four pages. Because I would like to finish this draft in July, and it'll take about four pages per day for me to get there.
But, you know what, I will write more than four pages some days, it's not the end of the world if I miss that self-imposed deadline by a couple of days, and tonight I just want to go to bed.
Today I went to visit the Minnesota Institute for Talented Youth's Creative Writing class in the Expand Your Mind program. These are a lot of words. When I was in the class, though, we just called it Craiggy Wriggy. (Along with several other things--but that's what stuck for me.) I was in the class--what, four years in a row, I think. In 2008, I went off and did Odyssey instead, and in 2009 I made the (tough!) decision not to go back.
At any rate, it definitely contributed a lot to who I am today, as a writer and a person--I found a lot of friends there, learned a lot, and really, it's fantastic to spend two weeks just writing. I mean, you can do that kind of in the summer anyway, but to have that time marked off and delineated was quite nice.
So it was awesome to go back, and say hi to the teachers, and listen to the reading of these people who are maybe just starting out on the writing-journey. (Not that I am that much further along, but still.) Most of them I'd probably like to get to know, still, too. I don't know how, but they get a good bunch of students every year.
When I got back home, I found another rejection note for "As Large as Alone" waiting in my inbox. Of course, I opened the file up, said, "This is horrible! Why did I think anyone would ever want this?" and spent about half an hour kicking myself and half an hour getting down to business and rewriting the beginning. Fortunately, I think I managed to fix something that was wrong with it before (and had known was wrong with it since I submitted it the first time) and not break anything else. Fingers crossed and all, naturally. So that'll be out again soon, I hope.
I am unreasonably proud of it, maybe because it means that I actually got up the courage/fortitude/momentum to send the darn thing out.
I plan to hang it on my wall. Hopefully it will not spend very much time there alone.
... of course, some acceptances would be nice, too, but I don't have much control over that end of it. All I can do is keep sending things out--which I will.
On the rewriting front, I have some notion of how to revise one of the other stories I wrote at Odyssey. On the writing front, I've gotten a few ideas, but they are clearly all cliched and terrible.

Carl Bose and Catherine Sarah Winship Soppit
Church of St Mary the Virgin, Lewisham High Street
cc-by-sa/2.0 - © Stephen Craven - geograph.org.uk/p/2649083
Catherine Sarah Winship Soppit, daughter of John Soppit and Louisa Thompson, married Carl Bose, Licenced Victualler, in Lewisham, in 1898. Carl Bose (b. 18 May 1874) was the son of Henry Bose and Anna Kracke, both born in Germany, who ran the Blue Anchor, in Dock Street, Wapping. In fact, records suggest that pub had been in the family constantly from at least 1881 until 1921.
Carl and Catherine Bose had six children, the first four registered in St Pancras, Kathleen and Edith in Holborn:
Anna Louisa Bose born 1899
Charles Bose born 1903
Stanley Bose born 1904
Robert Bose born 1909
Kathleen Bose born 1912
Edith Bose born 1915
In 1901, at The Victory (the previous incarnation of the pub to the one pictured at that link), 152, Albany Street, St Pancras, we find Carl Bose (26) Licenced Victualler, Catherine S W (24) and their daughter Anna L (1) with Lavinia C M Dwyer (20) Barmaid and Octavia R Andrews (24) Domestic Servant.
Post Office Directories also place Carl Bose at The Victory in 1906 and 1910.
Canadian Avenue (formerly Berlin Road), Catford
cc-by-sa/2.0 - © Chris Whippet - geograph.org.uk/p/4610261
This road used to be called Berlin Road but the name was changed during the first World War because of the Anti-German sentiments felt at the time.
In 1911, the family were living at 15 Berlin Road, Catford S E. Carl Bose (36) Licensed Victualler, Catherine Sarah Winship (34), Anna Louisa (11), Charles (8), Stanley (7) and Robert (1), as well as Mary Maud Everest (21) Domestic General Servant. Curiously, on the census return, Carl is described as "Son", Catherine as "Daughter-in-law" and each of their children is listed as "Grandchild" in relation to head of the household, so I think we may assume that this was Henry Bose' house, although there is no evidence of him residing there at that time. And one wonders what they will have thought of the road being renamed, given that Henry and Anna Bose were born in Germany.
Did the family come in for some of that Anti-German sentiment?
The Castle, Farringdon
cc-by-sa/2.0 - © Andrew Abbott - geograph.org.uk/p/5107529
The Castle Tavern used to be the only pub in England with a pawnbroker's licence
The Post Office Directory of 1915 shows Carl Bose as the landlord of the Castle, 34 & 35 Cowcross Street, St Sepulchre EC1 (The Castle, Farringdon), which would explain the registration of the last two children, in 1912 and 1915, being in Holborn district.
In 1921, the Post Office Directory lists Carl Bose as the licensee of his father's former pub, the Blue Anchor, 1 The Highway, Stepney E1.
The next time we catch up with them is in 1939, Carl Bose, having Anglicised himself to Charles Bose is a Club Steward living at 9A Clarence Square, Brighton And Hove, Sussex with wife, Catherine SW. Clarence Square - then & now.
Catherine S W Bose died in 1945, in Brighton, aged 69.
Charles Bose also died in Brighton, in 1962, aged 87.

Did you know studying is a skill? Did you know that we can learn to learn stuff better? Did you know there are dozens of ways we can improve our ability to learn more things in less time that can be applied immediately? In this talk, I explain some of the most useful techniques that are often overlooked to help make learning easier, quicker and more enjoyable.
In 2016, I had to learn a new language, but instead of studying at a language school, I decided to research the techniques recommended by the language-learning gurus and try them for myself. The results were impressive. I learnt the equivalent of two year's study in five months. In this talk, I explain the key points I discovered about language-learning and covers a few of the most important do's and don'ts.

Security information and event management (SIEM) technology has been around for more than a decade — and the market is growing by the minute.
So, it may seem strange that so many organizations lack a proper understanding of what a security intelligence and analytics solution can do, what type of data it ingests and where to begin when it comes to implementation.
As the threat environment expands in both diversity and volume, IT skills are becoming increasingly scarce, and point solutions are increasingly flooding the market. As a result, many security leaders are at a loss when it comes to selecting the right SIEM solutions to serve their unique needs.
Why all the confusion? For one thing, many companies just throw money at a SIEM platform to solve all their security use cases or as a silver bullet for compliance. These are ill-advised strategies because customers are often left to their own devices to both define and implement the system.
So, how should these companies proceed? The first step is to identify the primary security challenges they are trying to solve and the outcomes they hope to achieve.
To shed light on their SIEM implementation, security leaders need a single pane of glass across the organization's infrastructure to detect and investigate threats, both internal and external. In both cases, these threats are typically after the enterprise's critical data, whether they aim to steal or destroy it. Since more and more of this data is being moved off premises, cloud security has become a critical function of security operations.
Threat actors will do anything they can to gain access to the enterprise's crown jewels — and, when they do, security teams need a rapid and efficient incident-response process that enables analysts to take action quickly and confidently.
Finally, and perhaps most crucially, organizations must be able to prove all of the above to various compliance and regulatory auditors.
Continuously review their processes and educate staff and stakeholders accordingly.
By following these basic steps, chief information security officers (CISOs) can demonstrate the value of their SIEM implementation in a way that is easily communicable to business leaders and lead the way toward smarter, more prudent investments.
Check out this interactive infographic to learn how you can to transform noise into knowledge.
Discover the five questions you should ask before upgrading to a modern SIEM in this e-book.

InfoQ Homepage News How VS2015 Update 2 Improves .NET Native Code
How VS2015 Update 2 Improves .NET Native Code
Microsoft continues to put forth new features and capabilities into Visual Studio 2015. The latest changes, designated Update 2, is no exception as it has been packed with several updates to the .NET Native compiler. As you may recall, when .NET native is used as a compilation target, Windows apps (defined here as UWP apps targeting Windows 10) are compiled directly to native code rather than the default Intermediate Language (IL). There are several advantages to doing so, principally developers can continue to write apps in C# or Visual Basic while users benefit from faster execution times, shorter startup times, and less memory usage as compared to a traditional IL-based app.
As can be expected, compiling .NET to native code does have some drawbacks. Microsoft has prepared a lengthy list for what they deem to be "behavioral changes" between .NET Native and regular Windows apps. Detailing all of these differences is beyond the scope of this article, but the salient point is that one of these changes concerns reflections on generic types. As Microsoft's Stacey Haffner and Matthew Whilden of the .NET team write, "Dynamism is a challenge when compiling to native code, since all of the code must be known and compiled at compile-time."
Because using static analysis to determine all of the generic instantiations is fairly complicated, the team is introducing Universal Shared Generics (UGS). Now optimized code is generated where it is feasible to be represented by type specific code, and UGS is used when it is not.
Another big change that will benefit all developers targeting .NET Native is a switch in compiler backends used by the .NET Native project. The new 1.3.1 release of the .NET Native tools now uses the "same whole program inlining engine" used by the Microsoft C++ compiler. As time progresses the .NET team plans to utilize more of the optimizations the C++ compiler provides within the .NET Native project.
To utilize these new compiler features, you will need to download the latest UWP App Development Tools (version 1.3.1 for Windows 10 SDK 10.0.10586) and the latest .NET Core UWP packages from NuGet. Both of these should be installed on an instance of Visual Studio 2015 with Update 2 applied.

The Biosphere (), also known as the Montreal Biosphere (), is a museum dedicated to the environment in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is housed in the former United States pavilion constructed for Expo 67 located within the grounds of Parc Jean-Drapeau on Saint Helen's Island. The museum's geodesic dome was designed by Buckminster Fuller.

History
The structure was originally built as a component of EXPO 67, which officially opened on 27 April 1967.

The museum shows support for multiple causes by lighting up in different colors on special occasions. In April 2020, it lit up in multiple colors to show support during the Covid-19 pandemic. In June 2022, the museum lit up in green in support of World Environment Day.

1976 fire
In the afternoon of 20 May 1976, during structural renovations, a fire burned away the building's transparent acrylic bubble, but the hard steel truss structure remained. The site remained closed until 1990.

In August 1990, Environment Canada purchased the site for $17.5 million to turn it into an interactive museum showcasing and exploring the water ecosystems of the Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence River regions.
The museum was inaugurated in 1995 as a water museum, and is a set of enclosed buildings designed by Éric Gauthier, inside the original steel skeleton. The Biosphère changed its name in 2007 to become an environment museum. It offers interactive activities and presents exhibitions about the major environmental issues related to water, climate change, air, ecotechnologies, and sustainable development.

Pavilion
The museum is housed in the former pavilion built by the United States for Expo 67. The  architectural engineer of the geodesic dome was Buckminster Fuller. The building originally formed an enclosed structure of steel and acrylic cells,  in diameter and  high. It is a Class 1 (icosahedral, as differentiated from Class 2 domes, which are dodecahedral, and Class 3 ones, which are tetrahedral), 32-frequency, double-layer dome, in which the inner and outer layers are connected by a latticework of struts. (There has occasionally been confusion in mistakenly referring to this as a 16-frequency dome due to the fact that there are 15 hexagonal polygons from each pentagonally polygonal vertex of this icosahedral polyhedron to the adjacent vertex. However, the standard for measuring dome frequency is the number of triangles from vertex to vertex. Since there are two triangles from one side to the opposite side of a hexagon, there are actually 30 triangles from the edge of each pentagonal vertex in this dome to the next, plus the triangle that comprises one-fifth of the pentagonal vertex at each end of the length from one vertex to the adjacent vertex: totaling 32 triangles from the center of each vertex to the center of the next vertex.)

A complex system of shades was used to control its internal temperature. The sun-shading system was an attempt by the architect to reflect the same biological processes that the human body relies on to maintain its internal temperature. Fuller's original idea for the geodesic dome was to incorporate "pores" into the enclosed system, further likening it to the sensitivity of human skin, but the shading system failed to work properly and was eventually disabled.

Architects from Golden Metak Productions designed the interior exhibition space. Visitors had access to four themed platforms divided into seven levels. The building included a  escalator, the longest ever built at the time. The Minirail monorail ran through the pavilion.  In 2021, The New York Times picked the dome as one of "the 25 Most Significant Works of Postwar Architecture".

In popular culture
The structure was used prominently in the original Battlestar Galactica television series episode "Greetings from Earth". Scenes for Robert Altman's post-apocalyptic ice age film Quintet were shot on site as well.

The Biosphere appears in the 2003 animated Jacob Two-Two TV episode "Jacob Two-Two and the Notorious Knit Knapper", in which it is used as the headquarters for a group of seniors who plan on knitting a giant tea cosy to cover Montreal.

The Biosphere made an appearance during the finales of The Amazing Race: Family Edition and The Amazing Race Canada 4.

The Biosphere appears in the game Civilization VI (in the New Frontiers DLC) as a World Wonder, where it increases the appeal of marsh and rainforest tiles, and boosts power and tourism.

About 70 percent of all corporate change initiatives fail.¹ A prime cause of this is when employees and/or stakeholders are not invested in or educated about the changes that company decision makers plan to implement. It is critical to the success of a change management initiative that every stakeholder be on board with and fully supportive of it. Major organizational shakeups can seem threatening to employees, but a set of no-fail change management best practices can help make transitions seamless, and initiatives thrive.
Help stakeholders understand all proposed changes and educate them about the timeline involved in making them.
Support employees in the corporate change process.
Equip workers through training with tools to overcome roadblocks to change.
Vision casting -- Most successful initiatives begin with a vision. You can learn in more depth about how to create best-in-class change management programs through our blog post, but by sitting down with team members and envisioning what programs could look like is the first step in the process of delivering. Having a clear vision for a program leads to defining realistic goals and timelines and assigning leadership roles to stakeholders.
Why do corporate changes need to be made?
How can we build a business case for change?
How can we communicate the change to employees in ways they can understand?
How can we help employees envision what success will look like under these changes?
In what specific ways is the change aligned with our business strategy?
Answering these questions helps teams clarify the vision for an initiative and hit the mark.
Inform employees about the process & progress of change -- Keeping stakeholders up to date with program progress, from conceptualization to implementation, helps to promote a successful initiative. Don't wait for the program's launch to let employees know what key decision makers are doing. Allow them to have a voice about changes and make them aware of progress in motion.
A Learning Management System (LMS) is an ideal tool for supporting effective best practices for corporate change management. An LMS, a platform that delivers, tracks, and reports training, enables administrators to train stakeholders as the launch of a corporate change management program nears.
Read more about what a learning management system is and how it can help your company reach its change management goals in our blog article What is an LMS?
Company decision makers can't create long-term change without a clear vision for the future, a change management checklist, and a willingness to keep stakeholders in the loop about the progress of change initiatives. These best practices are effectively supported by a corporate LMS like TOPYX. Take the first step toward establishing the changes your company needs by requesting a free demo of TOPYX today.

Don Smooth drops new-age trap banger "21 Savage"
Repping Spartanburg, South Carolina, rapper Don Smooth's recent drop, "21 Savage" is a grand-slam of modern, minimal trap music. For two minutes and eleven seconds, you will be warped into a world of turn-up raps and sparse, yet exhilarating percussion. The drum pattern creates this ideal energy for Don Smooth's lyrics and flow. Between bars regarding his arsenal, and the Spartanburg street life, the southern rapper smoothly bounces along distorted 808s, hi-hats and claps. The absence of a melody leaves plenty of room for Don Smooth to rap circles around his competition; delivering a swift trap anthem. If the music video is of any comparison; throw this record on at your local party, and it is guaranteed to turn the entire room up a notch. Effortlessly, with this new single, "21 Savage", Don Smooth has put a spotlight on his Spartanburg home. Only a matter of time before the entire state of South Carolina has a new face of trap.


A few weeks ago I went hiking across a frozen lake in New England. It had snowed the day before. The absence of any footsteps indicated that no one else had done this, at least not in the last 24 hours.
It was an exhilarating experience in itself, but when I returned to my starting point I noticed that about a handful of people had followed my footsteps. I had tried and tested the ice for them. I blazed the trail and led the way.
My wife and folks were indoctrinated to never go on a frozen lake for all their lives, so my suggestion didn't go down so well. Anyway, I ventured into unchartered territory, because I knew what I was doing. I spent the previous two weeks in arctic temperatures, so I knew 100% that the ice is more than thick enough. On the other hand, no one else seemed to have done it, so I asked my wiser self if I can trust my judgement.
Believe me, it wasn't without thrill especially since I also had my son and his uncle in tow, I was responsible for them as well. Leadership is first about trusting your guts in combination with assessing data from a wide range of sources. Then you go first, and if your followers still hesitate, you communicate your point.
I know this is only simple little anecdote and that leading thousands of employees is way more complex than this. However, giving others confidence to do what they fancy (in potentially life threatening conditions) despite the unknown felt somewhat primordial.
My question to you is this: when do we know we have led the way for others by putting ourselves on the line? In corporate job in a cosy office? Where the biggest risk of the day might be to be late and unprepared for a meeting?


Jamie from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom is here with us today sharing this adorable Tie-Front Dolman Top Tutorial. You may remember her from the Fitted Apron Top tutorial she shared with us a while back. This cute top can be made using a T-shirt you already have to make the pattern or with her downloadable pattern, which means you could make one for yourself too. If knits make you a little nervous, start off with the Sewing Jersey 101 and the Beginner's Jersey Baby Dress.
You should also check out Jamie's Peasant Dress Tutorial with Free Pattern, Boho-Maxi Dress Pattern and Tutorial, and the Rainbow Zipper Pouch. For a little sewing break, try out her Healthy Banana Oatmeal Cookies.
Hi Everyone! My name is Jamie from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom. I am so happy to be able to share this Tie Front Knit Top Tutorial with the Pretty Prudent's readers! My blog is all about sewing, crafting and fun family recipes. I would love for you to stop by sometime and see some of my projects.
I think I totally nailed it with this little tie-front Dolman-style knit top!
I didn't time myself while sewing the top, (I take multiple breaks when sewing) but not counting the time it took to create and cut out the pattern, I am guessing it took no more than 40 minutes to make this top. Yep, it's that easy!
If you want your knit projects to have a professional look, you've got to have the right tools: a walking foot and a ballpoint stretch twin needle.
The walking foot (I use this one on my singer) and stretch twin needle (along with a loosened tension and lengthened stitch) will allow you to hem your knits without stretching out the hems and seams. If you need more information on sewing with knits, I have quite a few tips and tricks in my Knit Tunic Top tutorial.
She looks so cute in this little outfit- totally trendy with the chevron print top and leggings. (I blogged about the leggings here). I was a tiny bit concerned about the leggings being too sheer, but I had her give them the "official lululemon test" before wearing them to school. Luckily, they passed.
Would you like to give this top a try? I have included the top pattern in a size 4/5 and 6/7. Also, I haven't done it yet, but I will attempt to downsize the pattern to a size 2/3, so be sure to check back later.
To make the pattern, follow the steps in the pictures below.
Even if you are making a different size, you can print the pattern for the ties as a guide to draw your own.
Step 2: Cutting the fabric.
Fold this strip in half wrong sides together and press.
Using pins or a fabric marker, divide the binding into 4 equal sections and mark the spots.
Do the same thing on the t-shirt neckline. Keep in mind, the shoulder seams will not be the exact halfway point because the front neckline is slightly larger because of the dip.
This is SOOO cute that I may have to try to see IF I can draft one from your instructions for an 18″ doll since they're my pseudo-grandgirls for the moment! TFS!!!

I am a long time Winder Customer over 25 years. I am also a Foodie, Cooking Enthusiast and Chef Instructor. Winder is a farmers market at your doorstep. You can always count on quality products from Winder and great customer service.
Whole Milk, Egg Nog, and Produce.
With 2 full-time working parents and a toddler in our home, I don't always have time to shop for the weekly groceries. Winder Farms has been a godsend since my son was born and we realized that our time was no longer our own. From having fresh vegetables delivered to keeping our son nourished with weekly milk deliveries, we rely on Winder Farms like we rely on each other. Another hand in the village that helps us manage our household.
Brussel sprouts, hummus, pre-made salads, fruit & veggie snack kits, dairy!
I am a full time stay at home mom to three VERY hungry little boys. I am a HUGE fan of Winder Farms, and I love the convenience of having fresh food delivered to us every week. I know my family is getting healthy food, amazing treats and delicious recipes to try.
I love the produce box that we get each week, but I'm also a HUGE fan of the soups and the Rocky Road Brownies. YUM!
Simply because I LOVE the products and service you provide to me and my family. I am a busy dad who does not always have time to stop at the store for groceries, but then you pull up at my home and leave me with giant bags of food and beverages that my entire family looks forward to. The milkman is back baby, and Winder Farms led him to my doorstep.
I love Winder Farms & I HATE going to the grocery store. Winder Farms helps me eat clean & stick to the list. The produce is simply outstanding!!
The Produce - the box or any fruits & veggies. I order more lemons than anything else!
I am an avid cook and baker and I am always selecting and using the highest quality ingredients and products. I love Winder milk, chocolate milk, and buttermilk. They really make a huge difference in my cooking and baking. I also love knowing the milk is all-natural for my 2 little boys.
"I am a huge fan of your incredible buttermilk! I have never tasted any other brand out there that can hold a candle to your thick, rich, and delicious flavor!!! It reminds me of good old fashioned taste that you can only get straight from the farm!"
"Lots of products right to my door."
"Their milk tastes awesome. My kids won't drink anything else."
"They have great products! They are very reliable on the delivery and have great customer service!"
"My husband is impressed with your customer service. We received an extra good juice box this morning. He says you have a customer for life."
"They have the best milk and I like the convenience of delivery."
"I wake up, still in my jammies, bring in my groceries and make breakfast for my children. All without leaving my house. It's awesome! Thank you Winder Farms and to the drivers who wake up at the crack of dawn, we appreciate you!"
"Every week I can get the basics and only have to go to the grocery store once per week now instead of three times plus."
"It's the best milk out there...bar none!!!"
"Their milk is delicious and they are convenient to have their products delivered to our home and their website is easy to use!"
"The milk is always fresh, and right on time...rain, sleet or snow, and I really appreciate that!!"
"The milk is fantastic!!! No other brand of milk comes close!!"
"The tradition of home delivery that Winder has kept going is something I've had since I was a young boy. I still remember going to Winder Farms in elementary school (I'm 55 now!) every year."
"I never run out of needed items, like milk and bread. My grocery bill is much less each week!"
"They have the best chocolate milk ever. It's like being a kid again! Everything is fresh and it's kind of nostalgic to receive the milk the way it used to be delivered back in the day."
"We started with Winder Farms in 1948 and my mother and grand-mother also had the service. Now my daughter has the delivery so it makes 4 generations!"
"We have had Winder milk at this address since 1944, and at a different address for about six years before that. Obviously we're pleased with Winder Farms."
"I can do my 1x month shopping for everything else and order my weekly needed groceries from my phone or tablet. At first I was worried about cost effectiveness, but take it from someone all about coupons and prices, it is way more cost effective than going to the grocery store and roaming each week over shopping.
My son refuses to drink any other milk and I have lost 40lbs in the last year with fresh weekly produce. We love winder farms!."

Q: Get data into the input field after Qr code Scanned I'm trying to get id from Qr code to input field every time Qr is scanned. I tried to use Async-storage to store data after scanned but it whenever i scan different qr code it shows the same qr code that is scanned for the very first time. .
Here is the code that i have used to create scanner page.
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import { Text, SafeAreaView, StyleSheet, Button, Dimensions,Image } from "react-native";
import { BarCodeScanner } from "expo-barcode-scanner";
import colors from "../config/colors";
import AsyncStorage from "@react-native-community/async-storage";

function QrScanner({navigation}) {
  const [hasPermission, setHasPermission] = useState(null);
  const [scanned, setScanned] = useState(false);

  useEffect(() => {
    handleBarCodeScanned();
    (async () => {
      const { status } = await BarCodeScanner.requestPermissionsAsync();
      setHasPermission(status === "granted");
    })();
  }, []);

  const handleBarCodeScanned = async({ type, data }) => {
    setScanned(true);
    await AsyncStorage.setItem('key', data);
    alert(`Bar code with type ${type},and data ${data} has been scanned!`);
     console.log(await AsyncStorage.getItem('key'));

  };

  if (hasPermission === null) {
    return <Text>Requesting for camera permission</Text>;
  }
  if (hasPermission === false) {
    return <Text>No access to camera</Text>;
  }

  return (
    <SafeAreaView
      style={{
        flex: 1,
        flexDirection: "column",
        justifyContent: "flex-end",
      }}
    >
      <BarCodeScanner
        onBarCodeScanned={scanned ? undefined : handleBarCodeScanned}
        style={[StyleSheet.absoluteFill, styles.container]}>
        <Text style={styles.description}>Scan your QR code</Text>
        <Text
          onPress={() =>navigation.navigate('TempRecordStack')}
          style={styles.cancel}>
          Back
        </Text>

        </BarCodeScanner>
        {scanned && <Button title={'Tap to Scan Again'} onPress={() => setScanned(false)} />}
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
}
export default QrScanner;

const { width } = Dimensions.get('window')
const qrSize = width * 0.7
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
  description: {
    fontSize: width * 0.09,
    fontWeight:"bold",
    marginTop: '30%',
    textAlign: 'center',
    width: '70%',
    color: colors.purple,

  },
  cancel: {
    backgroundColor:colors.dark,
    fontSize: width * 0.05,
    fontWeight:"bold",
    padding:4,
    textAlign: 'center',
    width: '30%',
    opacity:0.6,
    color: colors.purple,
  },
})

Here is the line of code that i have used to get data from Async-storage to get scanned id
const [studentId, setStudentId] = useState({});

//To get Scanned data
      const getUserId = async () => {
        var code = await AsyncStorage.getItem("key");
        setStudentId(code);
      };

Input field
<Text style={styles.text1}>UserId : </Text>
        <View style={styles.action}>
          <TextInput style={styles.Input} value={studentId} />

          <FontAwesome
            name="camera"
            size={20}
            onPress={() => {
              navigation.navigate("QrScanner");
            }}
          />
        </View>

A: You dont have to use AsyncStorage here which is adding unwanted complexity, you can do this using the parameters like below
  const handleBarCodeScanned = async({ type, data }) => {
    setScanned(true);
    alert(`Bar code with type ${type},and data ${data} has been scanned!`);
     navigation.navigate('TempRecordStack',{code:data})
  };

And in the other screen you can do like below
Have a use effect
  React.useEffect(() => {
    if (route.params?.code) {
      setStudentId(route.params?.code);
    }
  }, [route.params?.code]);

This will set the code correctly when the user is navigated back.

Senanque Abbey, Gordes
The Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque is a lovely medieval Cistercian abbey that is one of the best places to see Provence's famed lavender fields. Founded in 1148 and once again populated by Cistercian monks, the peaceful abbey welcomes visitors and provides overnight retreats.
History of Senanque Abbey
Located in a wild valley just north of Gordes, the monastery was founded in 1148 when the lords of the area donated the land for a monastery. It was populated by a group of twelve Cistercian monks from the Abbey of Mazan in the Vivarais, called upon to move here by the Bishop of Cavaillon. Already in 1152 a daughter monastery was founded, at Chambons in the Vivarais.
Construction on the abbey church began first, around 1150, the monks lived in simple huts in the meantime. The church was consecrated in 1178 by the Bishop of Cavaillon. Only the choir was completed at that time; work on the nave began in 1180 and continued until early in the following century. Construction of the monastic buildings, such as the dormitory and refectory, also began around 1180 and were completed by about 1250.
Continued donations from local lords expanded the abbey's domains and attracted a continuous stream of new recruits. The abbey reached its high point in the 13th and early 14th centuries, when it owned four mills and large sections of land as far as Arles and Marseilles. By the 15th century, however, the abbey began to decline and fall into corruption, resulting in mismanagment of assets and a fall in recruitment.
Reform came in 1475 with a new abbot, John Casaletti from the University of Avignon, who enforced the Strict Observance of the Rule. Soon new recruits to the monastic life began to arrive again at Sénanque Abbey. His successor, Francois d'Estaing (1509-29) was the first of the commendatory abbots, all of whom carried out their duties (unlike many elsewhere). Abbot Francois, in fact, became known as the "father of the poor" by caring for plague victims.
In 1544, the medieval way of life at Sénanque came to an end when it was attacked by Waldensians during the Wars of Religion. It never regained its former importance. The property was eventually sold to the state in 1791 during the French Revolution. The abbey was again inhabited by Cistercian monks in 1854, who set to work restoring the buildings, but in 1903 new laws against religious congregations forced the monks to leave.
Monastic life resumed in 1926 but ended in 1969, after which the monks left for the Abbey of Saint-Honorat at Lérins, near Cannes. Thereafter the Abbey of Sénanque was operated indirectly by monks of Lérins as a cultural center with retreat facilities.
Finally, in 1988, six Cistercian monks left Lérins to reestablish the monastic life at Sénanque Abbey. They remain there today, following the medieval cycle of prayer, silence, study and work. The monastic way of life and upkeep of the buildings is is financed by the cultivation of lavender and honey, donations, entrance fees and sales in the gift shop.
What to See at Senanque Abbey
Like all Cisterican abbeys, Sénanque is lovely in its austere beauty. With no decoration to distract the monks per the instructions of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, the harmonious proportions of its Romanesque architecture can be fully appreciated.
The stone of Sénanque Abbey has weathered to a gentle heather-gray that seems to blend effortlessly with the natural landscape, especially in July and August when the sea of lavender surrounding the abbey is in full bloom. Visitors approach the abbey from the north, from which there is a panoramic view across the fields of the main apse with three windows, flanked by the low roof sheltering four apsidoles, the sacristy (tall rectangular structure), chapter house (with close-set windows) and warming house (far right, with chimneys).
The church is unique in having no main portal in its main facade - another enforcement of the Cistercian ideals of modesty and simplicity. Instead, the interior is entered via two modest doors that open into the side aisles. The nave, even more beautifully harmonious than the exterior, has five bays and a gently pointed barrel vault. The choir was built first (c.1150-60), followed by the nave (after 1180).
Over the crossing is a large octagonal dome supported on squinches with six decorative foils each, reflecting the vision in Revelation of four beasts with six wings. The capitals in the crossing are decorated with intriguing geometrical figures and symbols in low relief.
The main apse behind the altar is flanked by two smaller apsidoles on each side. Dimly illuminated by a single narrow window, these are used by individual monks to celebrate Mass.
The only non-Cistercian element of the church is the fine Gothic tomb of Lord Geoffroy of Venasque, dating from the 13th century. He would have paid a high price for such an enviable resting place, next to the high altar in a devoutly austere community.
Adjoining the church are the attractive 12th-century cloisters and monastic buildings including the refectory (housing an exhibit on the history of the Cistercian order), chapterhouse, warming room and dormitory (with an exhibit on the abbey's construction). These can all be visited on a guided tour.
The gift shop is large and excellent, offering a wide range of books on spirituality, Cistercian history and the region of Provence, as well as various products handmade by the monks.
The Abbey of Sénanque offers residential retreats to members of the public interested in a time of quiet meditation. Visitors can stay up to eight days for a modest charge of about €30 per day, during which they are invited to join with the Cistercian brothers at meals (taken in silence) and the services conducted throughout the day. Retreats are not available in January and February and arrivals may not take place on a Monday. To request a retreat, write to the Frère Hôtelier (hospitality brother) at Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque, 84220 Gordes France.

How does the Wind Energy program work?
What impact am I making?
What are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)?
Where are the wind farms?
Why does wind energy cost more?
Are Arcadia's Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) audited?
Amelia Miller
When electricity enters the grid, there's absolutely no way to track where it goes. While that might sound surprising, it's actually a really good thing, because it allows grid operators to balance, distribute and deliver electricity across the country.
That's where renewable energy certificates (RECs) come in. They were specifically created to track clean and renewable energy as it moves through our power grid. In fact, RECs are the only way to track renewable energy generation and consumption today. Anytime a company or an individual claims to be using renewable energy, they are in fact using RECs.
We sync with your utility to track your electricity usage
We source, verify, purchase,
and retire RECs for you
You are now using clean and renewable energy each month
More specifically, when a renewable energy generator, like a wind or solar farm, produces one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity, exactly one REC is created. That REC can now be purchased and retired by anyone who uses a MWh of electricity. When that happens, they have officially used that renewable energy. Arcadia partners with renewable energy generators to source, verify, purchase and most importantly retire RECs on your behalf. Remember, once a REC is retired, it can never be sold again, as you've officially consumed that renewable energy.
When you purchase RECs, you are supporting renewable energy. For existing renewable energy generators, RECs are a critical source of income and a financial advantage. For developers, they are a financial incentive to build new renewable energy farms.
Here's how it works. Every power generator sells power into the grid at the same price. But when the energy comes from a renewable energy source (e.g., wind, solar, hydro), a REC is also created, and can be sold to an energy consumer (like you). That's the financial advantage for renewable energy generators. This advantage will also incentivize the building of new renewable energy farms, by strengthening the financial outlook over various fossil fuel alternatives (e.g., coal, oil, natural gas). Here's another way to think about it: while we don't have a carbon tax in the US today, RECs are a reciprocal advantage for carbon-free energy. And that's a very powerful thing! As history has shown, one surefire way to change the world is by aligning the financial incentives towards the outcomes we want.
Naturally, the magnitude of this financial incentive will depend on the price of a REC. Namely, the higher the price, the greater the incentive. But today, this price can vary dramatically. A single REC can cost a few pennies or a few hundred dollars. That means the most expensive RECs cost 1000x times more than the cheapest ones!
You might be wondering why that is. Well, it's because today, the demand for RECs is far lower than the supply. And when that happens in any market, the price is set by a wide range of inconsistent criteria that individual buyers value. And while some of those criteria make a lot of sense, others are arbitrary and unique to only that buyer. It's worth noting that the primary buyers of RECs today are businesses and institutions that are seeking to meet their own renewable energy goals or targets, often based on regulatory requirements.
To date, residential consumers haven't really participated in the REC economy. And there's a good reason for that. Namely, it's complicated and hard. And that's one of the reasons we started Arcadia, to make it easy for everyday people. Our bet is that once consumers start demanding RECs, supply and demand will come back to equilibrium, and economic forces will set a higher, more consistent price. And that's a great thing for renewable energy generators and developers.
For context, a normal US household will use roughly one MWh of electricity each month. That's equivalent to one REC. The RECs we purchase and retire for your home energy will usually cost a few bucks, and that cost is included in your Arcadia membership. While we could purchase RECs that are far cheaper (1/100th the cost), we don't. Instead we've established a set of criteria for our RECs that we believe positions our members to have the largest possible impact at the most affordable price. That is, once supply and demand are rebalanced.
How we source, validate, purchase, and retire RECs (on your behalf) is really a reflection of our mission and our unique point of view about how to best achieve it.
Those two core beliefs, impact and accessibility, inform everything we do at Arcadia, including how we source RECs. In other words, we attempt to maximize the financial incentives for renewable energy providers and, at the same time, keep the price of membership realistic for our members, because there is strength (and change) in numbers.
In case you're curious, this is the bar we use to ensure environmental impact when sourcing RECs. First, the energy comes from US wind and solar farms that were built within the last 15 years. Second, the RECs are purchased and retired in the same year as they are created. And third, the number of retired RECs match the sales of clean energy to Arcadia members. Finally, all of these criteria and claims are independently analyzed, audited, and verified each year by Deloitte.
