Another year for me and you: 10 essential albums of 1969
March 4, 2019 Dennis Hartley	1 Comment

Well, this is it. 2019-last chance to celebrate a "50th anniversary" from the 60s (did I just detect a mass sigh of relief from all the Generation X and Millennial readers out there?).
2019 also marks the 50th anniversary of Woodstock…so you eye-rolling hipsters best batten down the hatches and prepare for a surge of tie-tied, acid-fried, and dewy-eyed peace love 'n' dope c'mon people now smile on your brother everybody get together try to love one another right now dirty filthy hippies wallowing in the mud nostalgia…MAN.
In my 2009 review of the Ang Lee film Taking Woodstock, I wrote:
"If you can remember anything about the sixties, you weren't really there". Don't you hate it when some lazy-ass critic/wannabe sociopolitical commentator trots out that old chestnut to preface some pompous "think piece" about the Woodstock Generation?
God, I hate that.
But I think it was Paul Kantner of the Jefferson Airplane who once said: "If you remember anything about the sixties, you weren't really there." Or it could have been Robin Williams, or Timothy Leary. Of course, the irony is that whoever did say it originally, probably can't really remember if they were in fact the person who said it first.
You see, memory is a funny thing. Let's take the summer of 1969, for example. Here's how Bryan Adams remembers it:
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life.
Best days of his life. OK, cool. Of course, he wrote that song in 1984. He'd had a little time to sentimentalize events. Now, here's how Iggy Stooge describes that magic time:
Well it's 1969 okay.
We've got a war across the USA.
There's nothing here for me and you.
We're just sitting here with nothing to do.
Iggy actually wrote and released that song in the year 1969. So which of these two gentlemen were really "there", so to speak?
"Well Dennis," you may be thinking (while glancing at your watch) "…that's all fine and dandy, but doesn't the title of this review indicate that the subject at hand is Ang Lee's new film, Taking Woodstock? Shouldn't you be quoting Joni Mitchell instead?"
Patience, Grasshopper. Here's how Joni Mitchell "remembers" Woodstock:
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration.
She wrote that in 1969. But here's the rub: she wasn't really there.
There was a point in there, somewhere. Somehow it made sense when I was peaking on the 'shrooms about an hour ago. Oh, I'm supposed to be writing a movie review. Far out, man.
Now it's been 10 years since I wrote that piece regarding Woodstock's 40th anniversary, so I've had some additional time to smoke a couple of bowls and further reflect on what my point was. After careful consideration, I believe it was: "You had to BE there, man!"
Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale?
Anyhoo, going on the assumption that the next best thing to "being there" would be immersing yourself in the music of the era, I thought I'd mosey over to my record closet-where I hope to pluck some dusty jewels for your consideration. To wit-my picks for the top 10 most essential albums of 1969. As usual, my list is alphabetical-not ranking order.
Abbey Road – The Beatles
Let it Be (1970) may have officially been the Beatles' "final" studio album, but as it was recorded several months before the band's penultimate 1969 release, it is Abbey Road that truly represents John, Paul, George and Ringo's swan song as creative collaborators.
Are there any other recording artists who have ever matched the creative growth that transpired over the scant six years that it took to evolve from the simplicity of Meet the Beatles to the sophistication of Abbey Road?
After a momentary lapse of reason to allow gifted but increasingly manic enfant terrible Phil Spector to (infamously) botch production for Let it Be, the Fabs wisely brought George Martin back on board. Martin, the band, and recording engineers Geoff Emerick, Phil McDonald and Alan Parsons are at the top of their game here (if you decide to pack it in, you might as well go out on top).
Choice cuts: "Come Together", "Something", "I Want You (She's so Heavy)", "Here Comes the Sun", "Because" (my god, those harmonies), "You Never Give Me Your Money", "Sun King", and (of course) the remainder of that magnificent Side 2 "suite".
Chicago Transit Authority – Chicago
While I'm not fond of their schmaltzy (if chart-topping) descent into "adult contemporary" territory from the 80s onward, there is no denying the groundbreaking nature of Chicago's incredible first three double albums, beginning with this 1969 gem. The formula established here, which would continue through Chicago II and Chicago III (or what I like to call their "Roman Numeral Period") was (for its time) a bold fusion of hard rock, blues, soul, jazz, and Latin styles, fueled by the late Terry Kath's fiery guitar and accentuated by a tight horn section (and I'm not normally a big fan of horn sections).
Choice cuts: "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", "Beginnings", "Questions 67 and 68", "Poem 58" (great Kath solo) and a cover of Steve Winwood's "I'm a Man".
Crosby, Still, & Nash – Crosby, Stills and Nash
One of rock's most enduring "supergroups" sort of fell together (as the story goes) after an informal jam at a house party in 1968. The trio may have never agreed as to who's house this seminal event occurred at (it vacillates between Joni Mitchell's and Cass Elliot's place), but millions of fans have since concurred that something truly sublime and greater than the sum of its parts occurs when David Crosby (originally from The Byrds), Stephen Stills (The Buffalo Springfield) and Graham Nash (The Hollies) sing three-part harmonies (occasionally joined by Neil Young…when they're not all fighting). Their flawless debut LP has stood the test of time.
Choice cuts: All of them!
Five Leaves Left – Nick Drake
Look in the dictionary under "melancholy" and you'll likely find a picture of Nick Drake.
When the day is done, when the night is cold
Some get by but some get old
Just to show life's not made of gold
When the night is cold
When the night is cold, I like to cozy up with a good pair of headphones, a cup of chamomile, and a Nick Drake album. Yes, his music was melancholy (and likely to blame for inspiring "emo") but it was also beautiful; spare, haunting, unforgettable. He died much too young. If you've never had the pleasure, this debut is a fine place to start.
Choice cuts: "Time Has Told Me", "Three Hours", "River Man", "Day Is Done", "The Thoughts of Mary Jane", "Fruit Tree", and "Man in a Shed".
Hot Buttered Soul – Isaac Hayes
Singer-songwriter-musician-producer-arranger extraordinaire Isaac Hayes' second album is, in a word, epic. Containing only 4 songs, it blew a lot of minds and set a new bar for soul music.
Before recording sessions commenced, Hayes demanded, and received full creative control from Stax Records (who I'd speculate were chagrined that there were no potential singles to mine from 4 tracks…at least not without extensive editing). I suspect Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye were paying close attention, as they would make a similar push for creative independence with execs at Motown several years later.
Choice cuts: Hayes' impeccably produced cover of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "Walk on By" is a 12-minute master class in song arranging and may very well be the inception of the "slow jam" that artists like Barry White would later build their entire careers on.
But the truly groundbreaking cut here is Hayes' 18-minute deconstruction of Jimmy Webb's "By The Time I Get To Phoenix". He takes Webb's 2-minute pop song and turns it into a cinematic tone poem, with a 9-minute spoken word preface that adds poignant backstory to the protagonist's already heartbreaking narrative.
In the Court of the Crimson King – King Crimson
It's safe to say there was nothing else that sounded quite like this seminal prog-rock masterpiece in 1969.
Led by avant-garde guitarist/producer Robert Fripp, the group featured vocalist/bassist Greg Lake (who would later hook up with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer to form you-know-who), keyboardist/woodwind/sax player Ian McDonald (later of Foreigner), percussionist Michael Giles, and lyricist Peter Sinfield (also cryptically credited for "illumination"…their dealer, maybe?).
Many iterations of the band have followed over the years (with Fripp as the mainstay), but this remains my favorite conglomeration of personnel. Lake (with his cathedral pipes) was their finest vocalist.
Choice cuts: Pretty much all of them…from the startling proto-metal/jazz fusion opener "21st Century Schizoid Man" to the dreamy "I Talk to the Wind", the melancholic cautionary tale "Epitaph", ethereally beautiful "Moonchild", to the album's appropriately magisterial closer "In The Court of the Crimson King."
Led Zeppelin II – Led Zeppelin
Despite legions of loyal fans (the author of this post among them) and the countless musicians they have inspired and influenced over the past 50 years, there's just something about these seminal English rockers what really pisses off snooty music critics.
As an out and proud middlebrow, I'll call this a "classic" without reservation. It was tough choosing this or their very strong debut album, which was also released in 1969. I could have cheated and just counted them both as one choice (which would have made my list "go to eleven") but I've got principles (stop snickering).
Led Zeppelin's unique blend of Delta blues, English folk, heavy metal riffing and (on subsequent albums, beginning with Led Zeppelin III) Eastern music has been oft-imitated but seldom matched… inviting us to tune in, buckle up, and ride a sonic roller coaster that takes you (as Jimmy Page described it) "from the whisper…to the thunder".
Choice cuts: "Whole Lotta Love", "What is and What Never Should Be", "Thank You", "Heartbreaker", "Livin' Lovin' Maid" and "Ramble On" (best "wanderlust" song ever).
The Stooges – The Stooges
Well it's 1969 okay
All across the USA
It's another year for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
Last year I was 21
I didn't have a lot of fun
And now I'm gonna be 22
I say oh my and a boo hoo
They sure don't write 'em like that anymore. The composer is one Mr. James Osterberg, best known by his show biz nom de plume, Iggy Pop. Did you know that this economical lyric style was inspired by Buffalo Bob…who used to encourage Howdy Doody's followers to limit fan letters and postcards to "25 words or less"? True story.
The peace 'n' love ethos was still lingering when Iggy and the Stooges stormed straight outta Detroit with their aggressive proto-punk sound, undoubtedly scaring the shit out of a lot of hippies.
While this debut album didn't exactly go storming up the charts upon initial release, it is now acknowledged as a profound influence on punk's first wave (the Sex Pistols paid homage on Never Mind the Bollocks with their sneering cover of "No Fun").
Choice cuts: "1969", "I Wanna Be Your Dog", "No Fun", and "Real Cool Time".
Then Play On – Fleetwood Mac
I've got nothing personal against Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham; they are obviously very talented folks in their own write, but…as far as I'm concerned, Fleetwood Mac "Classic" died the day they joined up with Christine McVie and stalwart founding members Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. This 1969 release is my favorite Mac album.
Guitarist and lead vocalist Peter Green would depart the band following this release (briefly rejoining later for a few live dates), but it features some of his finest work. The bulk of the songs for this outing were written by Green and newly acquired guitarist/vocalist Danny Kirwin (a gifted player and songwriter who would stay on board until some unfortunate personal issues forced him out in 1972). Very bluesy; those who prefer the more pop-oriented Buckingham-Nicks iteration may not find much to relate to.
Choice cuts: "Coming Your Way", "Closing My Eyes", "Underway", "Although the Sun is Shining", "My Dream" (gorgeous Kirwin instrumental),"Before the Beginning" and the classic "Oh Well".
Tommy – The Who
There was a time (a long, long, time ago) when some of my friends insisted that the best way to appreciate The Who's legendary rock opera was to turn off the lamps, light a candle, drop a tab of acid and listen to all four sides with a good pair of cans. I never got around to making those precise arrangements, but I'm always up for spinning all four sides. Not only one of 1969's finest offerings, but one of the best rock albums of all time.
Choice cuts: "1921", "Amazing Journey", "Acid Queen", "Pinball Wizard", "Tommy Can You Hear Me?", "I'm Free", and "We're Not Gonna Take It".
Bonus tracks!
10 more 1969 releases worth a spin:
Beck-Ola – Jeff Beck
Blind Faith – Blind Faith
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere – Neil Young & Crazyhorse
It's a Beautiful Day – It's a Beautiful Day
Kick Out the Jams – The MC5
Santana – Santana
Stand Up – Jethro Tull
Stand! – Sly & the Family Stone
Tons of Sobs – Free
Trout Mask Replica – Captain Beefheart

This weekend our athlete, Miki Taagholt kicked off the 2019 season with a strong showing at the Ironman 70.3 Oceanside, though it wasn't quite enough to step onto the podium which was topped by strong Ben Kanute.
Ironman Oceanside 70.3 was a major experience. Racing against the big-guns within the sport – and particularly the middle distance (70.3) was awesome!. I got to admit that I was a little star-struck standing next to guys like Ben Kanute (who ended up winning the race), Rudy Van Berg, Sam Appleton, etc.
The start was amazing, 6.40 local time, just in time for the amazing sunrise in California. The swimming route was great and exciting, right into the big waves of the open ocean. Unfortunately for my start, I was a bit disorientated in the early beginning giving me some extra meters to catch up and ultimately making it impossible to stay with the leading guys – though I did exit the water around 5th so not totally off.
The race was mixed-feeling overall, going from 5th out of the swim gaining ground to a 4th until the last half of the run I do feel a bit disappointed ending up on an 8th. My main purpose of the race was to compare myself to the heavy guys and in a very strong field, I can't be too disappointed with the 8th, especially considering that I feet that I was underperforming most of the day so in that perspective I'm confident that on a good day I will be up there where it really matters.

US lawmakers tout US-Japan-South Korea alliance as Seoul, Tokyo feud
House Foreign Relations Committee Democratic Ranking member Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY) speaks with reporters after a closed intelligence briefing with CIA Director Gina Haspel on the death of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi on Capitol Hill in Washington, US, on Dec 12, 2018. — AFP
WASHINGTON: US Republicans and Democrats joined together on Tuesday to tout the long alliance between Japan, South Korea and the United States, hoping to reinforce the trilateral relationship amid an intensifying feud between Tokyo and Seoul.
Members of the House of Representatives and Senate from both parties introduced resolutions in the two chambers affirming Congress' strong support for ties between the three countries and the critical importance of cooperation.
Relations between Japan and South Korea have chilled recently due to disputes over their wartime history, including Japan's 1910-1945 colonization of the Korean peninsula, as well as allegations of provocations by each country's military.
The dispute threatens regional efforts to rein in North Korea's nuclear programme, just weeks before US President Donald Trump is to hold a second summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Vietnam on Feb. 27-28.
"With so much at stake ... it is critical that we maintain a responsible path forward," Democratic Representative Eliot Engel, chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee and a co-sponsor of the measure, said in a statement.
The measures were introduced by Engel and Representative Mike McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, as well as top Senate Foreign Relations Democrat Bob Menendez and the leaders from both parties of the Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs Asia subcommittees. — Reuters

PEARL, MS -- The Mississippi Braves defeated the Pensacola Blue Wahoos 4-2 Saturday night at Trustmark Park to take the Southern League South Divisional Series three-games-to-one and advance to the Southern League Championship Series for the first time since 2008.
The Braves will take a day off Sunday and travel to Jackson, Tenn., for games one and two of the SL Championship Series Monday and Tuesday at 6:05 PM CST. The two teams will take another off day Wednesday before returning to Trustmark Park for games three, four (if necessary) and five (if necessary) Thursday through Saturday.
The M-Braves jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first. Levi Hyams and Dustin Peterson reached on back-to-back singled and Joey Meneses walked. Connor Lien then delivered a two-run single to right to put the Braves out front early.
In the third, Peterson reached on an errant throw by the second baseman with two outs. Carlos Franco then ripped a double to right field, driving home Peterson and extending the M-Braves lead to 3-0.
Pensacola responded in the fourth. Alex Blandino walked and Phillip Ervin doubled to start the inning. Sebastian Elizalde then drove home both runners with a base hit up the middle, making it a one-run game.
Johan Camargo and Kade Scivicque reached on back-to-back one-out singles to start the Braves half of the fourth. Both runners moved up on Lucas Sims' sacrifice. Mallex Smith then singled home Camargo to extend the Braves lead to 4-2.
Storms rolled through after the fifth inning and delayed the game for one hour and 12 minutes. Play resumed and the M-Braves bullpen shut down the Wahoos to secure advancement into the championship round of playoffs.
Lucas Sims (1-0) held Pensacola to two earned runs on two hits and two walks. He struck out six batters in five innings pitched to pick up the win. Relievers Evans Phillips, Caleb Dirks and AJ Minter (S, 1) tossed the final four innings to close out the game.
Tyler Mahle (0-1) started and worked just 3.2 frames for the Blue Wahoos. He gave up four runs, three earned, on seven hits and a walk while striking out one.

Q: How to Convert String to Char and Integer in Java ? I have the following :

*

*String contain 5* ;

*char opr ;

*int data ;

I would like to store the 5 in the data and * in the opr
any idea how to do it ?
 as i know if the string contain only Integer then I will split and the parse it but in this case the String contain int and char
Input :
String input = 5* ;
I want the Output will be like this :
this.opr = *
this.data = 5

A: A simple way to achieve that (if you don't want to use Regex) is to do something like this:
String temp ="";
// read every char in the input String
for(char c: input.toCharArray()){
   // if it's a digit
   if(Character.isDigit(c)){
       temp +=c; // append it
   }
   else{ // at the end parse the temp String
        data = Integer.parseInt(temp);
        opr = c;
        break;
   }
}

//test
System.out.println("Input: " + input
                    + "\t Data: " + data
                    + "\t Opr: " + opr);

Test
Input: 5*    Data: 5     Opr: *
Input: 123*  Data: 123   Opr: *

A: Under the dubious assumption that the issue is parsing a String in the form of number followed by op, this code will achieve the desired result.
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    final String input = "5*";
    int data = -1;
    String op = "";

    Pattern pat = Pattern.compile("([\\d]+)[\\s]*(.*)");

    Matcher m = pat.matcher(input);
    if (m.matches() && m.groupCount() == 2) {
        data = Integer.parseInt(m.group(1));
        op = m.group(2).trim();
    }
    System.out.printf("%2d with op %s%n", data, op);
}

Output:

5 with op *

A: String input = 5*;
char[] splitted = input.toCharArray();
char opr = splitted[1];
int data = Character.getNumericValue(splitted[0]);

A: you may also try this with 3 different inputs as below. It will print 0 for incorrect DATA and blank for incorrect OPERAND.
    String  input       = "5*";
    //String  input       = "109/";
    //String  input       = "109b3*";

    int     data        = 0;
    char    opr         = ' ';
    int     len         = input.length();

    if  (   len > 1 ) {
        String  data_s  = input.substring(0, len - 1);

        try {
                data    = Integer.valueOf(data_s).intValue();
        } catch(Exception e) {
        }

                opr     = input.substring(len - 1). charAt(0);
        if  (   opr    != '+' && opr != '-' && opr != '*' && opr != '/' ) {
                opr     = ' ';
        }
    }

    System.out.println("Input:" + input + " Data:" + data + " Opr:" + opr);

The Alfred Marshall the Left Doesn't Know
Most leftists know economist Alfred Marshall (1842-1924), if they know him at all, only through the superficial account of him given in Robert Heilbroner's The Worldly Philosophers,[1] as only a fusty Victorian preoccupied with abstract mathematical models of economic equilibrium. But Heilbroner's sophomoric popularization of economics doesn't even begin to do justice to this "Father of Neoclassical Economics." Which is not to say there isn't some knowledge of fact in Heibroner's account—but it only serves to vindicate the wisdom of Alexander Pope, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing…" Because knowing too little is indeed often a dangerous thing—like knowing only "a little" about Afghanis' reverence for the Koran is a dangerous thing if one is a U.S. combat soldier stationed in Kabul!
The only redeeming feature to the account of Marshall in The Worldly Philosophers is that Heilbroner has the good sense to quote John Maynard Keynes, one of Marshall's most distinguished students, on him (pp. 277-78). Hopefully, this brief snippet from Keynes's much longer critical encomium of the man will lead the curious reader to Keynes' full essay on Marshall contained in Essays in Biography.[2] Keynes's memorial essay gives a much fuller account of this seminal and complex economist, Alfred Marshall, one that should lead us of leftist persuasion to a greater regard both for the man and his economic achievement.
Indeed, that was precisely what happened to me as first, a university student economics, and them as an avid economic writer and enthusiast writing for left publications—I learned to appreciate just why my old academic advisor in economics at Indiana University-Bloomington, Distinguished Professor Emeritus Scott Gordon, a self-professed "man of the left," regarded Marshall as the "greatest economist." Which is not to say Alfred Marshall wasn't a fusty Victorian in some respects; but that's like saying Abraham Lincoln was only a President of the United States, comparable in this regard to Warren G. Harding or George W. Bush!
Keynes duly notes in his essay on Marshall, in the passage that Heilbroner incompletely quotes, the following traits that made Marshall an excellent economist:
The study of economics does not seem to require any specialised gifts of an unusually high order. Is it not, intellectually regarded, a very easy subject compared with the higher branches of philosophy and pure science? Yet good, or even competent, economists are the rarest of birds. An easy subject, at which very few excel! The paradox finds its explanation, perhaps, in that the master-economist must possess a rare combination of gifts. He must reach a high standard in several different directions and must combine talents not often found together. He must be a mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher—in some degree. He must understand symbols and speak in words. He must contemplate the particular in terms of the general, and touch abstract and concrete in the same flight of thought. He must study the present in the light of the past for the purposes of the future. No part of man's nature or his institutions must lie entirely outside his regard. He must be purposeful and disinterested in a simultaneous mood; as aloof and incorruptible as an artist, yet sometimes as near the earth as a politician. Much, but not all, of this ideal many-sidedness Marshall possessed. But chiefly his mixed training [mathematics, philosophy and ethics before settling on economics] and divided nature furnished him with the most essential and fundamental of the economist's necessary gifts—he was conspicuously historian and mathematician, a dealer in the particular and the general, the temporal and the eternal, at the same time. (pp. 140-41. Emphasis in original.)
Marshall himself wrote (in the third person) of his economic studies:
While still giving private lessons in mathematics, he translated as many as possible of Ricardo's reasonings into mathematics; and he endeavoured to make them more general. Meanwhile he was attracted towards the new views of economics taken by Roscher and other German economists; and by Marx, Lasalle and other socialists. But it seemed to him that the analytical methods of the historical economists were not always sufficiently thorough to justify their confidence that the causes which they assigned to economic events were the true causes. He thought indeed that the interpretation of the economic past was almost as difficult as the prediction of the future. The Socialists also seemed to him to underrate the difficulty of their problems, and to be too quick to assume that the abolition of private property would purge away the faults and deficiencies of human nature…He set himself to get into closer contact with practical business and with the life of the working classes. On the one side he aimed at learning the broad features of the technique of every chief industry; and on the other he sought the society of trade unionists, co-operators and other working-class leaders….and while engaged, in conjunction with his wife, in writing a short account of the Economics of Industry, forcibly simplified for working-class readers… (Quoted in Keynes, pp. 151-52. Emphasis added.)
Keynes further notes in regard to the publication of the first edition of Marshall's magnum opus, Principles of Economics (which Marshall repeatedly revised in eight editions over the course of his life, from 1890-1920):
The book reached the general public. It increased the public esteem of Economics. The minimum of controversy was provoked. The average reviewer liked the author's attitude to his subject-matter, to his predecessors, and to his readers, and delighted Marshall by calling attention to the proper stress laid by him on the ethical element and to the much required humanising which the dismal science received at his hands; and, at the same time, could remain happily insensible to the book's intellectual stature. As time has gone on, moreover, the intellectual qualities of the book have permeated English economic thought, without noise or disturbance, in a degree which can easily be overlooked. (p. 191. Emphasis added.)
Keynes writes apropos of Marshall's esteem for working persons, quoting again from Marshall himself:
About the time that I first resolved to make as thorough a study as I could of Political Economy (the word Economics was not then invented) I saw in a shop-window a small oil painting [of a man's face with a strikingly gaunt and wistful expression, as of one 'down and out'] and bought it for a few shillings. I set it up above the chimney-piece in my room in college ant thenceforward called it my patron saint, and devoted myself to trying how to fit men like that for heaven. Meanwhile, I got a good deal interested in the semi-mathematical side of pure Economics, and was afraid of becoming a mere thinker. But a glance at my patron saint seemed to call me back to the right path. That was particularly useful after I had been diverted from the study of ultimate aims to the questions about Bimetallism, etc., which at one time were dominant. (p. 176)
Keynes culled and transcribed the following thoughts from Marshall's lectures on economics:
The chief fault in English economists at the beginning of the [19th] century was not that they ignored history and statistics, but that they regarded man as so to speak a constant quantity, and gave themselves little trouble to study his variations. They therefore attributed to the forces of supply and demand a much more mechanical and regular action than they actually have. Their most vital fault was that they did not see how liable to change are the habits and institutions of industry. But the Socialists were men who had felt intensely and who knew something about the hidden springs of human action of which the economists took no account. Buried among their wild rhapsodies there were shrewd observations and pregnant suggestions from which philosophers and economists had much to learn. (p. 171)
But on Marshall's economics Keynes writes:
…his strong sympathy with socialistic ideas were compatible, however, with an old-fashioned belief in the strengths of the forces of competition. (p. 186)
In earlier days, particularly between 1885 and 1900, he was fond of asking working-men leaders to spend a week-end with him—for example, Thomas Burt,[3] Ben Tillett,[4] Tom Mann,[5] and many others. Sometimes these visits would be fitted in with meeting of the Social Discussion Society, which the visitor would address. In this way he came to know most of the leading co-operators and Trade Unionists of the past generation. In truth, he sympathised with the Labour Movement and with Socialism (just as J. S. Mill had) in every way except intellectually. (p. 194)
Scott Gordon remarked that Marshall's conception of the ideal economic society was one with both high productivity and high wages. Marshall wanted the working class to share in the fruits of economic development and progress, not just be consigned the rinds and the scraps. But he clung stubbornly to the idea that old-fashioned competitive capitalism was the best way to achieve this.
Fortunately, the Eighth Edition of the seminal Principles of Economics, the last edition Marshall prepared in his lifetime, in 1920, is available as an inexpensive paperback,[6] and is just as fruitful to peruse today as it was earlier. (For decades the Principles of Economics was the standard college textbook in the field; Scott Gordon recalls using it when he studied economics as an undergraduate in 1940.) Here we can see clearly in this philosophical discussion below of the ends of economics the humane nature of Marshall's understanding of ultimate economic ends, and his sympathies for, and desire to better the lot of, the working class through economic activity. Marshall's argument is worth quoting in its entirety:
In every civilized country there have been some followers of the Buddhist doctrine that placid serenity is the highest ideal of life; that is the part of the wise man to root out of his nature as many wants as he can; that real riches consist not in the abundance of goods but in the paucity of wants. At the other extreme are those who maintain that the growth of new wants and desires is always beneficial because it stimulates people to increased exertions. They seem to have made the mistake, as Herbert Spencer says, of supposing that life is for working, instead of working for life.
The truth seems to be that as human nature is constituted, man rapidly degenerates unless he has some hard work to do, some difficulties to overcome; and that some strenuous exertion is necessary for physical and moral health. The fullness of life lies in the development and activity of as many and as high faculties as possible. There is intense pleasure in the ardent pursuit of any aim, whether it be success in business, the advancement of art and science, or the improvement of one's fellow-beings. The highest constructive work of all kinds must often alternate between periods of over-strain and periods of lassitude and stagnation; but for ordinary people, for those who have no strong ambitions, whether of a lower or a higher kind, a moderate income earned by moderate and fairly steady work offers the best opportunity for the growth of those habits of body, mind, and spirit in which alone there is true happiness.
There is some misuse of wealth in all ranks of society. And though, speaking generally, we may say that every increase in the wealth of the working classes adds to the fullness and nobility of life, because it is used chiefly in the satisfaction of real wants; yet even among the artisans in England, and perhaps still more in new countries, there are signs of the growth of that unwholesome desire for wealth as a means of display which has been the chief bane of the well-to-do classes in every civilized country. Laws against luxury have been futile; but it would be a gain if the moral sentiment of the community could induce people to avoid all sorts of display of individual wealth. There are indeed true and worthy pleasures to be got from wisely ordered magnificence: but they are at their best when free from any taint of personal vanity on the one side and envy on the other; as they are when they center round public buildings, public parks, public collections of the fine arts, and public games and amusements. So long as wealth is applied to provide for every family the necessaries of life and culture, and an abundance of the higher forms of enjoyment for collective use, so long the pursuit of wealth is a noble aim; and the pleasures which it brings are likely to increase with the growth of those higher activities which it is used to promote.
When the necessaries of life are once provided, everyone should seek to increase the beauty of things in his possession rather than their number or their magnificence. An improvement in the artistic character of furniture and clothing trains the higher faculties of those who make them, and is a source of growing happiness to those who use them. But if instead of seeking for a higher standard of beauty, we spend our growing resources on increasing the complexity and intricacy of our domestic goods, we gain thereby no true benefit, no lasting happiness. The world would go much better if everyone would buy fewer and simpler things, and would take trouble in selecting them for their real beauty; being careful of course to get good value in return for his outlay, but preferring to buy a few things made well by highly paid labour rather than many made badly by low paid labour. (pp. 136-37. Emphases added.)
The somewhat formal and moralizing tone of Marshall's prose above belies the limpidness and luminescence of his thought, which is humane, and states principles the ecological, socialist and Occupy activists of today would readily rally around. Marshall wrote the Principles to be accessible to the average businessman of England (or for that matter, the literate worker, the trade unionist, and the socialist interested in economics), although it is a deep economic text—confining his formal expositions of economic theory and proof of economic propositions to footnotes, footnotes elegant and easily comprehensible to the reader who had studied high school geometry (Marshall preferred geometric diagrams to algebraic expressions). He was a complex man whose heart tugged one way, and his intellect another. Old-fashioned politically in some ways, yet in other ways a thoroughgoing humanist, Marshall had deep sympathies for the working and lower classes of society, yet believed competitive capitalism, not socialism, was the only workable way to their betterment. But whatever Marshall was, he was not a neoliberal as we understand the term today.
This same contradictory complexity carried over in his views on other issues. He was opposed to admitting women to the degree programs in the traditionally male universities, despite his wife, Mary, being a former student of his, lecturer in economics at Newnham College, and collaborator of his in writing his first book, Economics in Industry. Indeed, he had taken up his position at Bristol University after his marriage "attracted thither chiefly by the fact that it was the first College in England to open its doors freely to women," and he had written in 1873 "how our progress could be accelerated if we would unwrap the swaddling-clothes in which artificial customs have enfolded woman's mind and would give her free scope womanfully to discharge her duties to the world." (Keynes, p. 202)
Similarly, Marshall supported British involvement in World War I and was unflinching in that support, yet, as Keynes wrote, "he was much opposed to the inflaming of national passions. He remembered that he had 'known and loved Germany,' and that they were 'a people exceptionally conscientious and upright.' He held, therefore, that 'it is our interest as well as our duty to respect them and make clear that we desire their friendship, but yet to fight them with all our might.' And he expressed 'an anxiety lest popular lectures should inflame passions which will do little or nothing towards securing victory, but may very greatly increase the slaughter on both sides, which must be paid at the price of resisting Germany's aggressive tendencies.' These sentiments brought down on him the wrath of the more savage patriots." (p. 211)
Marshall also believed in eugenics when it was common and respectable to do so, that time of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries when optimistic faith in science as social savior combined with uncritical endorsement of wholesale social engineering—and not just in biology. But Marshall was far from alone in this; those who endorsed eugenics at that time reads very much like a Who's Who of scholarly and renowned persons, many of whom considered themselves socialists, civil libertarians, and humanitarians.[7]
So—while we of the left certainly can't call him Comrade Alfred Marshall, or even see him as a congenially consistent fellow traveler, we can see him as a beacon of lucidity among the obfuscatory darkness of ideological assertion, a conservative man and thinker whose sympathies were with the radicals and reformers. A contradictory conservative who, nonetheless, brings much enlightenment to the left he's not a part of, but contributes to.
"What need have we of science?" an anonymous sans-culotte asked during the French Revolution when the great scientist Lavoisier, a monarchist, was guillotined. What need have we? The need we of the left all have for knowledge.[8] Knowledge is needed for consciousness, for informed left praxis. And comes from many sources, including contradictory Victorian economists who do not know themselves what positive revolutions they may help spark.

After all, the Latin root word for "science," scientia, means "knowledge."

Q: Regarding MySQL deployed on GCP load I am almost done building a website that I target to have 10,000 users. It's free, so I'd like to keep the cost as low as possible.
All but two tables are less than 100,000 rows (read only). Off the remaining, one table will have about 5,200 rows per user in total and nothing less. The other I estimate about 1.5mn rows per user over two years, assuming they continue using it that long.
The latter table is as follows, and the former is the same except for col3...
CREATE TABLE `my_table` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `col1` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `col2` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `col3` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `col4` int(11) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `fk1_ix` (`col1`),
  KEY `fk2_ix` (`col2`),
  KEY `fk3_ix` (`col3`),
  CONSTRAINT `fk1` FOREIGN KEY (`col1`) REFERENCES `pktbl1` (`id`) ON UPDATE CASCADE,
  CONSTRAINT `fk2` FOREIGN KEY (`col2`) REFERENCES `pktbl2` (`id`) ON UPDATE CASCADE,
  CONSTRAINT `fk3` FOREIGN KEY (`col3`) REFERENCES `pktbl3` (`id`) ON UPDATE CASCADE
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_ci;

Both the tables will on average be written to about 10-20 times a day, and read about 4-5 times, for every active user.
I'd like to estimate my running cost and have two primary questions and appreciate any other inputs.
1) Will MySQL reasonably be able to handle my load.
2) How much CPU / RAM do you reckon I'd need to handle my load with a response time / lag of up to one second.
My website is designed using PHP Yii2 framework, so I can just switch databases, if required. The queries are simple inserts and indexed select statements.

A: There isn't really a way to estimate, your requirements are very low. If you are able to do some load testing that will help you.
However if you can tolerate a few minutes downtime, you are able to scale your Cloud SQL instance up or down. This might give you confidence that starting on an f1-micro or g1-small does not prevent you from upgrading should performance not meet your needs.

A: 20 Billion rows, mostly in small tables?  That sounds like 1 terabyte of disk space.  Plan for that.
200K queries (write or read) per day?  That's only a few per second.  No problem on any server.  This assumes, however, that the queries are not too complex.
Will MySQL handle it?  Look around in this forum (better yet, dba.stackoverflow), you will see much bigger systems being discussed.
CPU -- Usually the least of the problems.
RAM -- Depends on the queries.  These days, I would not start with anything less than 4GB.
Cloud -- It's a viable option.  You pay extra, but have fewer hassles, especially if you need to upgrade.
Get 100 users on the system, then take stock of what you have.  See what the numbers look like.
If you ever get into performance problems, first look at the queries and indexes to see if the slowest query can be improved.

At $5B, Replacing Madison Square Garden Doesn't Seem Likely
By Editors on May 5, 2016 in Basketball, Hockey, NBA, NHL
With the cost of a new Manhattan arena and a new Penn Station priced out at $5 billion, it doesn't look like there will a fifth Madison Square Garden any time soon, according to real-estate experts.
The specter of a new arena has been raised in recent years by proponents of a new Penn Station. Their plan: a new above-ground Penn Station, with Madison Square Garden demolished and the old U.S. Postal Service's Morgan Annex combined with the new train station. There is a tremendous symbolism here: the original Pennsylvania Station was torn down to make way for Madison Square Garden and some additional development, a demolition that helped create the preservation movement in New York City.
But that symbolism would come at a very high price: around $5 billion, according to a Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management report. Buying land for the new Penn Station would be $800 million, building a new Madison Square Garden would cost $1.6 billion, and building the train station would cost $2.5 billion. Add $65 million to demolish the existing Madison Square Garden, and you're talking some real money. From the Commercial Observer:
"Well-intended civic groups are pursuing a dream that is unlikely to ever be fulfilled," Mitchell Moss, the head of the Rudin Center, told CO. "The cost of moving MSG would require acquiring a new site…which would impose enormous costs on the public."…
Construction costs generally are more standard for office and residential buildings than stadiums because the plans are generally uniform, according to one construction industry maven who added that the repetitive process makes it easier to build and set up cranes. Given that no two stadiums are alike, specialized contractors are required to build the unique designs.
Rising construction costs in general and special permits are contributing just as much to the price. MSG and most other Big Apple arenas also happen to be in dense parts of the city—making it difficult to install cranes, halt traffic and protect pedestrians, said Louis Coletti, the chief executive officer of the Building Trades Employers' Association of New York City, an organization representing construction managers. In the case of the $1 billion renovation of MSG that finished in 2013, he added, project manager Turner Construction also had to work around hockey and basketball season, both of which run for six months or longer depending on whether the teams make the playoffs.
And, let's not forget that there are three pro teams — New York Knicks (NBA), New York Rangers (NHL) and New York Liberty (WNBA) — playing out of Madison Square Garden these days. Add the many college games and tourneys, as well as big-name concerts, and you'd have a logistical nightmare in any replacement process.
Yes, there would be some level of poetic justice if a new Penn Station rose from the ashes of the original's replacement. But Madison Square Garden has been the center of New York City sports since February 1968 — and with a $5-billion price tag, it doesn't look like tearing it down will happen any time soon.

'Plastergaze' by Cosmetic is out now • IT-GAZE at its best!
Italian cult noise pop band Cosmetic is back with a sparkling new album called 'Plastergaze'!
Another introspective journey along the shores of shoegaze, a genre that marked the band since the debut EP 'Sursum Corda' and the resounding success of 'Conquiste': here we find once again new eleven gems set between indie rock, dream pop and emo-core.
It's not a simple work, but a complex and stratified album, perhaps the most reverberated they ever did. The spacey synths compete with the striking glares of the guitars, while the way more broaden atmospheres get enriched by Alice's vocal harmonies and the huge contributions of Straccia on the keyboards, making the overall writing more dreamy and fluctuating.
The sharp, somber lyrics don't accept any fake respectability in a time when simple generalizations and stereotypes easily go for the win. Is there still any place out there for the inept ones in the world? For those who can't identify themselves inside this huge tide of uselessness and fiction, for those who falter, for those who are unsatisfied with what's around them, but keep on moving forward, falling and getting up again, while entangled in an inner reality of their own, once again victims of themselves.
How can we accept ourselves and the otherness of who's next to us? Which are the physical boundaries this society imposes to the fulfillment of the individual?
The band has self-produced the record in its own studio, built during the last five years, and was helped on the mixing by Steve Scanu – who's already worked with Be Forest, Lantern, Urals – and Filippo Strang on the mastering.
Design by Alessandro Cavallini, all artworks are by Zannunzio who also realized the abstract/oscillotronic lyric videos for the first singles out of the album.
C18 – PURE ITALIAN GEMS • Discover our local best kept secrets!
C18 • Pure Italian Gems is the sophomore mix-tape realized by Lady Sometimes Records to promote the contemporary Italian indie scene. Clearly inspired by the NME C86 tape, it gathers different experiences yet showing a common attitude.
Where has our desire for freedom gone? Why do we constantly subdue our creative energy to market, trends and standardisation? Can we really act as independent minds today? Is it right or is it wrong to ask such questions within an underground music selection? The making of this tape has pushed me to raise several issues, a bit beyond the usual 'Oh I really dig this bands' thing.
Actually in the past two years I felt more than ever that a large part of our best local acts is still ignored by the press, the clubs and – last not least – the listeners! We trust more the Spotify algorhythm than a flesh and bone reviewer, a friend or a neighbor band. I see people getting more and more uninterested by other people, scared to discover new stuff and places, lazy and bothered when it comes to invest their time on a 'yet not so hype' cultural experience.
You can buy this playlist at the same price of a beer, but you're more than welcome to download it for free, enjoy your time listening, spread YOUR OWN word, be ACTIVE and SUPPORT your local scene. Get in touch with us and tell us what you think about it, as you may know – coyness is nice, and coyness can stop you from saying all the things in life you'd like to.
C18 features a handmade fanzine focused on the 15 bands involved in the project, available only on paper along with the tape.
Thanks to Gusville Dischi, MiaCameretta Records, VDSS Recording Studio, WWNBB Records, Tiny Speaker, To Lose La Track, General Soreness, Fatty Liver Records, Malestro and all the bands featured who agreed to be part of C18.
(Coda) by True Sleeper is out now • Check the premiere and interview on Aim!
(Coda) is the third single out from 'Life Happened' by True Sleeper, the solo project of Marco Barzetti, formerly leader of Weird. – one of the most successful Italian shoegaze bands – and guitarist/lyricist for the international psych maven Sonic Jesus.
Born as a simple interlude, it soon stand out as a full completed piece, the song is one of the most moving and strong episodes of the new album: the scenery suddenly opens up on a soft explosion of keyboards and guitars, from whom multi-melodies emerge as the real cornerstones of the whole musical writing. It is short, appealing and captivating, with an attitude that clearly moves away from the sonic shoegaze atmospheres of the first two singles. It really gets you carried away in another time and space, an sort of dream-like tense psychedelic level.
'I've been lost twice' is a clear declaration of intent, a double loss of time and in time, that the main character suffers while reflecting on the past and present events of his own existence. There's a light haze where everything gets hidden and idealized, as long as even the closest people you know become unconquerable cities that will never be faced: once again all is lost inside the maze.
In contrast with the main lyrical themes, (Coda) is quite a revelation: a well focused track, totally genuine and akin to an elegant, sophisitcated psych/dream-pop which still does not turn his nose up to a rather more rough and distorted approach.
