ionnalee releasing new album 'REMEMBER THE FUTURE,' going on tour
By Andrew Sacher February 4, 2019 9:58 AM
ionnalee, the current moniker of Swedish art pop artist Jonna Lee (also known as iamamiwhoami), is releasing her new album REMEMBER THE FUTURE on May 31 via her own label, To whom it may concern. The album features contributions from her longtime collaborator Claes Björklund and it was mixed by Johannes Berglund (who's worked with Fever Ray, The Knife, Owen Pallett, and more). Lead single "Open Sea" will be out this Friday (2/8), and that's the artwork for the single above (album art still TBA). Stay tuned for more.
Having played as a member of Röyksopp's live band for the past three years, ionnalee is now set to go on her lengthiest North American tour since adopting the ionnalee moniker (she played a few shows here last year). "I am over the moon to be releasing this album and to be returning to America. Gonna play you some new music, made purely out of the fire I received from the audience during my debut US tour last year. See you in a few months," she says.
The tour begins with two nights in NYC: Elsewhere Hall on April 19 and Bowery Ballroom on April 21 with Allie X opening both dates. Tickets for Elsewhere and Bowery (and the whole tour) go on sale Friday (2/8) at noon, with various presales beforehand. All dates are listed below.
While you wait for the new single, watch/listen to last year's visual album EVERYONE AFRAID TO BE FORGOTTEN, below.

Following our post about the best Russian aviation blogs to follow, here are our suggestions for the best Russian aviation instagramers...this time, hopefully, without language barriers!
I must say it is quite a mixed list: there are pilots, people that work in airlines, photographers, an airline CEO and some corporate accounts, and not all of these Instagram accounts are exclusively about aviation, but, they have all in common, and therefore are in this list, because they usually have a good amount of flight-related photos that allow you to have a glimpse of the fascinating world of Russian aviation.
And remember that, of course, you can also follow Allplane on Instagram!


While networking, I got the opportunity to meet rapper GEX through a mutual friend. I went to one of his performances and that was it, loved him. His range is what I liked most, of course he has party songs but he speaks on so much more. Well, needless to say we kept in touch after his performance and decided to work together and do a photoshoot...and here it is!
*Disclaimer: Contains profanity and sexually explicit language.
You can download GEX mixtape here!

Girl, your photogrpahy is amazing!!


At a quick glance, the flat growth prediction by Techaisle LLC for IT spending in the small and medium-size business (SMB) market in 2016 may seem to contradict the often-heard flaunting of this market segment as rich with opportunity for channel firms. B-r-e-a-t-h-e — it still is. You just have to know where to look.
In a recent blog post, Techaisle CEO and analyst Anurag Agrawal suggested that U.S. SMB IT spending in 2016 would remain flat at $188 billion compared to 2015.
Was he surprised? Yes and No.
According to Agrawal, he expects to see a decline of about 2% in IT spending in small businesses (50 and fewer employees) primarily due to the fact that they simply don't have more money to invest on IT.
"They're also saying that they've reached a limit on where they can spend money," he said, noting that this finding overall was a bit surprising to him.
The industry analyst pointed out that this segment of the SMB market is spending money on IT — cloud and managed services for example — but they're not buying devices such as PCs or tablets and they're not spending money on consultant services to help them ramp up their IT solutions.
"Buying bigger ticket items such as new PCs or tablets aren't really what's on the wish list for these small companies — there's no compelling reason for them to replace these devices," said Agrawal. He did, however, note that Windows 10 will accelerate the device refresh cycle, but these small firms aren't looking to replace ten PCs at a time.
Where these companies are more likely to spend their IT dollars is where it will make the most impact. And, that's not necessarily on cloud offerings. "Many small firms have already reached their limit on cloud apps — they're already using CRM, ERP, collaboration, analytics," said Agrawal.
The partner opportunity here goes beyond provisioning applications and instead finding a way to integrate the data from all of these applications. "It's not enough for partners to focus only on recurring revenue. They have to figure out how to fit into their customer's business success," Agrawal said.
From here the news gets better in the SMB market.
Midsize businesses (50-249 employees) are all about IT spending. This segment of the SMB market will increase IT spending by 6% and investments will continue across all technology segments: It's not just about cloud or mobility, but also analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), managed services, virtualization and security, according to Techaisle.
"Beyond the small businesses there's tremendous expansion happening in the midmarket and the real sweet spot is businesses with 100 to 249 employees," said Agrawal. This midmarket segment views IT as a way to gain competitive advantage, increase productivity, and achieve business goals, he added.
Small businesses spent $137 billion in 2015 and Techaisle projects 2016 spending of about $134 billion. Medium-size businesses spent $51 billion in 2015 and the analyst firm expects spending in 2016 to reach $54 billion. According to the analyst firm, there are about 5 million small businesses in the U.S. and about 100,000 midmarket firms.
While not addressed in the report, larger midmarket firms (500 to 999 employees) are expected to have the highest spending increases, according to Agrawal. "The increase is not because IT is spending more but rather it's because … the line-of-business executive is spending on cloud and analytics and using services to drive business growth," he said.
For a few years now, the midmarket has been the battleground for leading IT vendors. Partners who focus on the midmarket not only have an opportunity to grow their business with their midmarket customers, but they also are more likely to get on the radar of their IT vendor partners.

Polls: Republican, Tea Party Brand Badly Damaged During Shutdown
Daniel Doherty
Posted: Oct 22, 2013 12:30 PM
There's no good way to spin these numbers so I'm not even going to try. For example, the public's opinions of both the Republican Party and Tea Partiers in general have sunk to historical new lows, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll out today:
There was little in the findings for the GOP to feel good about. The party's image has sunk to an all-time low in Post-ABC surveys, with 32 percent of the public saying they have a favorable opinion and 63 percent saying they have an unfavorable view. Almost four in 10 Americans have a strongly unfavorable view of the GOP.
The tea party fares just as badly. Barely a quarter of the public has a favorable image of the movement, the lowest rating in Post-ABC polling.
The shutdown occurred after Republicans tried to add the defunding of Obama's health-care law to a short-term measure to keep the government running, then followed with other proposals that were rejected by the Democratic-controlled Senate and the president. Only when facing a deadline over the government's ability to borrow money to pay past bills was there an agreement to end the shutdown and allow borrowing until early next year.
Most Americans, meanwhile, blamed Republicans for the stalled budget talks:
Asked who they consider responsible for the impasse, 53 percent of poll respondents cite Republicans, 29 percent blame Obama and 15 percent fault both sides equally. Republicans who support the tea party movement overwhelmingly blame Obama for what happened, but among Republicans who do not back the tea party, almost as many cite congressional Republicans as name Obama or both.
Perceptions of the way Republicans handled the budget negotiations grew steadily worse through the weeks of confrontation, rising from 63 percent disapproval on the eve of the 16-day shutdown, which began Oct. 1, to 77 percent disapproval by the time it ended. Nearly three in five Republicans disapprove of their party's handling of the negotiations.
That being said, Democrats hardly came out of this thing unscathed. Their hardline, we-won't-negotiate-with-a-gun-to-our-heads attitude during the shutdown evidently backfired. Indeed, the party's unfavorable ratings have climbed to historic new heights:
Congressional Democrats also sustained damage to their image. More than six in 10 respondents disapprove of how they handled budget negotiations, and unfavorable ratings of the party have risen to a record high of 49 percent. Still, President Obama's overall ratings have held steady. Almost half of all Americans approve of the way he has handled his job, and an almost identical number disapprove.
Republicans, one assumes, would hope these aforementioned numbers would be somewhat of an outlier. But they're not. A USA Today/Princeton Survey Research poll also released today confirms the opposite: the public largely holds them responsible for the impasse (via Politico):
The poll also found Republicans taking the blame for the shutdown: Americans said the GOP was responsible over Democrats 39 percent to 19 percent, with 36 percent blaming both parties equally.
And CBS News' poll shows support for the Tea Party waning:
In the aftermath of the partial government shutdown and debt ceiling debate, both Republicans and Democrats in Congress get low job approval ratings, but Republicans fare worse.
Views of the tea party also suffered.
While 31 percent of Americans approve of the way Democrats in Congress are doing their job, just 18 percent approve of how Republicans are doing theirs. Disapproval of Republicans in Congress has risen five percentage points since before the shutdown, to 78 percent. Democrats' "negatives" climbed three points, to 65 percent.
The recent budget negotiations have made 64 percent of Americans pessimistic about Congress' ability to deal with future issues affecting the country; only 11 percent are optimistic.
Tea party adherents were front-and-center during the shutdown, and views of the movement have become more negative. Just 14 percent of Americans now hold a favorable view of the tea party, down from 18 percent as the government shutdown began, and unfavorable views are up 7 points. Half of Americans still hold no view of the tea party or aren't familiar with it, even after the high-profile political battles.
Put simply, both parties (but especially conservative Republicans) were blamed for what happened. This makes one seriously question the wisdom of forcing another government shutdown in January if and when things don't go Republicans' way.


Growing 45 percent annually for the past four years, mobile celluar subscriptions have hit 5.9 billion throughout the world. The world population is 7 billion.
The number of mobile phone subscriptions has reached 5.9 billion, an impressive figure in a world of 7 billion people.
Surveying the mobile and online landscape in 2011 for a year-end report (PDF), the International Telecommunications Union found that mobile phone subscriptions have now penetrated 87 percent of the entire world and 79 percent of all developing countries.
Among all those mobile phone users, mobile broadband subscriptions number almost 1.2 billion. Such subscriptions have jumped 45 percent each year for the past four year and now outnumber fixed broadband subscriptions by 2 to 1.
Switching over to fixed broadband, one-third of the 1.8 billion household around the world now have Internet access, up from one-fifth just five years ago. In developing nations, 25 percent of all homes have a PC and 20 percent have Internet access.
Among all the major nations, Korea still offers the fastest broadband access with almost the whole country enjoying speeds of more than 10 megabits per second. Further down the list, the U.S. is more of a mixed bag with a little more than one-third of the population seeing speeds higher than 10 Mbps and the rest stuck between 2 to 10 Mbps and 256 Kbps to 2 Mbps.
Overall, a full one-third of the 7 billion people on the planet use the Internet, and 45 percent of them are under the age of 25. Internet use has been growing in developing countries, accounting for 62 percent of the world's total last year, compared with just 44 percent in 2006. China alone represents almost 25 percent of the world's total.
Still, developing nations have a ways to go. Across the different age groups in the developing world, 30 percent of people under 25 use the Internet, compared with 23 percent of those 25 and older. But that 70 percent of the under-25 crowd not online adds up to 1.9 billion people, an open door for schools to provide access and potentially boost enrollment, says the ITU.

Q: Lego Mindstorms EV3 software cannot find brick via WiFi My Lego Mindstorms EV3 software cannot find the EV3 brick via WiFi.  The strange thing is, it works in a fresh install of (X)Ubuntu in Virtualbox on this computer, same version.  Things I have tried:

*

*Recreating the Wineprefix

*Reinstalling Wine

*Using both a wired and wireless connection to the router.

A: It is a firewall that blocks connections from the brick. The easiest way to fix the problem is to disable firewall by sudo service ufw stop, but it's a bad idea in general. Instead, you could setup rules to allow.
I guess, Lego Mindstorm sends a broadcast request, and waits for incoming connections from anyone (from the brick in our case). That means, you need to allow incoming connections either:

*

*from an interface

*using a subnet

*from a specific IP

*to a specific port

*using a specific protocol (i.e. http, https, ssh)

*any combination of above.

So, one rule you could use is sudo ufw allow from 192.168.0.6, since it's the address of your brick. But I don't know how the address is assigned to the brick, whether it is dynamic, and would you want to use it with another one (with different IP), so probably better way would be to find the port in use, and setup a rule for that. First, temporary disable firewall (sudo service ufw stop), execute in terminal sudo tcpdump -nni any src 192.168.0.6 and dst 192.168.0.6, and connect the app to the brick. You would see an info about packets going between your host and brick, the port is written right after IP of your PC, like …192.168.0.6.52382 > 192.168.0.1.80… Then you can use:
sudo ufw allow PortNumberYouGot # e.g. sudo ufw allow 21

or better yet is to allow only a specific subnet:
sudo ufw allow from 192.168.0.0/16 to any port PortNumberYouGot

This is the second installment of ENC Corps Member stories. I have a few more to post and would love to hear from any other ENC CMs out there who would be willing to answer some questions. Contact info is here.
"Ms. South" is a current 2nd year ENC high school teacher. Here is her take on the region and on TFA in general.
What made you choose the ENC region? Where was the region on your preference sheet?
I ranked this region as my first choice. Since I am from the South, I wanted to stay close to home. I had never lived in a big city and was afraid that I would not be able to adapt easily to an urban lifestyle. I also ranked Nashville and Hawaii highly. I knew Hawaii was really rural!
What was your original placement? (ie: Secondary Math, Elementary Lower Grades, etc.) What are you teaching now/ what have you taught?
How did you feel about your institute experience?
-What did you like and/or dislike about Institute specifically?
I felt Institute adequately prepared me to plan lessons and manage a classroom. It gave me the courage to enter the classroom on day one. However, I did not learn how to create resources or how to ask for them. Also, planning a 50 minute lesson is very different than planning a 1 hour and 40 minute lesson. I also struggled with determining reasonable amounts of work to grade. I felt extremely overwhelmed my first 4 months of school. I stayed up really late most nights and was constantly stressed out.
I teach in a small, rural, public, high school. 95% of our student population is black, 4% white, and 1% other. "Other" includes 3 Hispanic students and two Indian children. Most of our students eat free lunch and live in the projects.
People say that TFA is "hard", but that covers a lot of ground. How (in what ways) or why has TFA specifically been hard for you?
TFA is hard because you can't slack. There is no wiggle room. All of your actions directly impact the lives of other people. You can't sleep in when it's been a bad day. You can't go home and rest – you have work to do. It's a very difficult transition from college. The freedom we had grown so accustomed to is no longer present. Also, the amount of responsibility is indefinite depending on your placement school. Program Director expectations and principal expectations vary from school to school. Every corps member has a different experience. Some struggle more with the issues that preside in their community. Some struggle with the lack of resources they have been provided. It's difficult to pinpoint "how" TFA is hard because it is difficult for so many reasons.
I had a student threaten to harm the other students. This was a difficult situation to mediate while keeping everyone calm, safe, and removing the angry student.
What has been your best experience in the classroom?
In my class where only 30% of students were expected to pass their End of Course Exam- 100% of my students passed! When I called them out one by one and they slowly started realizing everyone had passed, the energy built exponentially and the end celebration was the highlight of my teaching experience. They jumped up and down, screamed and some even cried. They were called down to the front of the auditorium during an end of year assembly and recognized by the whole school for their accomplishment. Even the toughest kids were proud of what they had done.
What is your life like outside the classroom?
I didn't really have one my first year. School was my life. During my second year, I really learned how to manage my time and I enjoy my evenings and weekends. I get to work out and enjoy the hobbies I love. I also love how close our corps has become because there are so few of us in the rural area. I cherish these friendships and the time we have shared so much.
Why did you join TFA?
I wanted to feel like I actually changed someone else's life for the better – typical college idealism.
If you knew what you know now, would you still apply to TFA?
What are your plans for when/if you finish your TFA commitment?
Visit a classroom if you are considering joining TFA. It's important to fully understand the commitment you are making for your students and your sanity!
Thank you so much for collecting/posting these! I'm almost definitely applying for TFA in August and I've loved loved loved going through the Teachforus blogs as a source of reassurance, inspiration, and general encouragement that I can do this. Thank you thank you thank you!

Murphy kills bill that would have allowed bigger school property tax hikes
Gov. Phil Murphy delivers remarks at Saint James A.M.E. Church in 2018.NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
By Samantha Marcus | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Gov. Phil Murphy on Monday blocked a proposal that would have allowed dozens of New Jersey school districts to raise more from property taxes to compensate for state funding cuts.
His veto of the bill (S4289), pushed by the Senate President Stephen Sweeney, D-Gloucester was expected, as the governor said previously the state should be raising taxes on the wealthy to fund schools, rather than asking middle-class taxpayers to "again take it on the chin."
The measure would have applied to districts that have lost aid as the state shakes up its school funding formula, allowing them to make up for their losses by exceeding a 2-percent cap on property tax increases.
"I cannot support creating an additional avenue to exceed the 2-percent cap that both disenfranchises voters and increases their property tax burden," Murphy said in a message accompanying the veto.
New Jersey's school funding formula tells the state exactly how much each district should spend, how much of a district's funding should come from the state and how much the district should generate in local property tax revenue.
The state is in the midst of a controversial, years-long overhaul of that funding formula, undertaken by Sweeney, to shift state aid from districts considered overfunded according to the funding formula to those considered underfunded.
At the same time, the state is putting hundreds of millions of dollars more into schools each year, and in the end, every district should get 100 percent of what is owed.
The 172 districts losing state aid have been receiving more than the formula says they need. And officials in those districts losing money over seven years have warned of steep budget cuts, massive layoffs and program reductions.
Sweeney's bill would allow some of those districts to exceed the 2-percent cap passed under former Gov. Chris Christie that limits how much local districts can raise their tax levies each year. The Senate Majority Office said 40 local districts would have qualified to for an exemption, including Toms River, Old Bridge and South Brunswick.
The state Senate voted 24-15 and the Assembly, 41-26 with four abstentions, last month. Based on that vote tally, the Legislature wouldn't appear to have enough votes to override the governor.
In his veto message, Murphy criticized the Legislature for rushing the bill through.
"Decisions that will result in New Jersey families paying more in property taxes cannot be made lightly. I strongly believe that issues as important to New Jersey residents as property taxes and education funding warrant more deliberation than this bill was given," he said.
Sweeney, meanwhile, said Murphy's offer of a tax on millionaires to drum up more money is hollow "when he knows — or should know — that not one penny from the millionaire's tax could legally go to any of the Adjustment Aid districts that would have been helped by this legislation."
The New Jersey School Board Association also accused Murphy of misstating the effects of the bill.
"We strongly disagree with the governor's interpretation of the proposal and its impact on local property taxpayers," Executive Director Lawrence Feinsod said in a statement, adding the bill "was well-thought-out legislation that would have enabled school districts to maintain educational programming. It would not have resulted in wide-scale, unbridled property tax increases as inferred by the governor."

Woman Gives Birth to Quadruplets After Years of Infertility
Taking care of one baby is hard enough--imagine four. But that's exactly the situation that Hannah and Ted Fair of Denver, Colorado found themselves in. Hannah delivered four babies, Harry, Mary Catherine, Francis Kay, and Helen Bennett on January 28th at Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center. The four may have come as a surprise, but it wasn't an unwelcome one. The couple had gone through two In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycles and six Intrauterine Insemination Treatments (IUI) over five years. They were actively considering adoption when the last IUI took and Hannah became pregnant. Hannah spent the last six weeks before giving birth on bedrest, and that gave her plenty of time to bond with the staff and other expecting moms. One of the doctors was the Director of Maternal Fetal Medicine at Presbyterian St. Luke's, Dr. Richard Porecco. He wasn't perturbed by Hannah's case at all, and said, "She was my 24th set of quadruplets and I've had three sets of quintuplets." The only thing he was worried about was Hannah giving birth early, which can be a problem for those expecting multiple children. Mothers expecting quadruplets often only reach 28 or 29 weeks instead of the full term of 40. "Fundamentally, it's a question of trying to extend the pregnancy for as long as we reasonably can that's safe for both the mom and babies," he said. Hannah and Ted are excited to start living with their new family once they are all healthy, and are in the middle of moving closer to both sets of grandparents. On top of that, they're considering a live-in nanny or Au Pair to help them take care of all of their kids!

Q: MVC3 Razor (Drop Down List) I'm new towards MVC3 Razor. Currently, I'm facing this error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.", which I have no idea what is this about.
In Model
    public List<SelectListItem> CatList { get; set; }

    [Display(Name = "Category")]
    public string CatID { get; set; }

In Controller
    public ActionResult DisplayCategory()
    {
        var model = new CatModel();
        model.CatList = GetCat();
        return View(model);
    }

    private List<SelectListItem> GetCat()
    {
        List<SelectListItem> itemList = new List<SelectListItem>();
        itemList.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "1", Value = "1" });
        itemList.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "2", Value = "2" });
        return itemList;
    }

In CSHTML
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{

    @Html.LabelFor(c => c.CatID)
    @Html.DropDownListFor(c => c.CatID, Model.CatList)

}

Thanks for any help.

A: I suspect that you have a POST action in which you forgot to reassign the CatList property of your view model so you are getting the NRE when you submit the form, not when the form is initially rendered:
public ActionResult DisplayCategory()
{
    var model = new CatModel();
    model.CatList = GetCat();
    return View(model);
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(CatModel model)
{
    // some processing ...

    // since we return the same view we need to populate the CatList property
    // the same way we did in the GET action
    model.CatList = GetCat();
    return View(model);
}

private List<SelectListItem> GetCat()
{
    List<SelectListItem> itemList = new List<SelectListItem>();
    itemList.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "1", Value = "1" });
    itemList.Add(new SelectListItem { Text = "2", Value = "2" });
    return itemList;
}


The cross disciplinary Indian Digital Heritage (IDH) Vijayanagara Murals Project (2011-2015) led by principal investigators Professors Vijay Chandru and Nalini K. Rao at the Centre for Cultural Heritage and Tourism Studies (CHATS) of the International Institute for Art, Culture and Democracy (IIACD) has been supported by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.
This project was conceptualized in 2009 and launched at IIACD in February 2011 under the Heritage Arts Initiative (HAI) of CHATS. Art and cultural scholars at IIACD have been collaborating with technologists, tourism and conservation experts, artists, photographers and designers in the research, documentation and digital archival of the tangible and intangible heritage of Vijayanagara and post Vijayanagara mural paintings in South India.
Art and cultural scholars at the International Institute for Art, Culture and Democracy (IIACD) collaborated with technologists, tourism and conservation experts, artists, photographers and designers in this interdisciplinary Indian Digital Heritage (IDH) project to research, digitally capture, analyse, annotate and archive the tangible and intangible heritage of Vijayanagara and post-Vijayanagara ceiling paintings and wall murals in Hampi and Lepakshi. High resolution images of Lepakshi Veerabhadra temple Natyamantapa paintings from the Vijayanagara period captured with Canon Mark II D cameras were stitched with PTGUI software, texture mapped, edited and color corrected with Photoshop by IIACD's expert mural photographer and filmmaker. IIACD's art and cultural scholars analysed and compared the Lepakshi narrative ceiling paintings and wall murals with the ceiling and beam paintings in the Rangamantapa of the Virupaksha temple in Hampi and also with other Vijayanagara and post Vijayanagara paintings in Karnataka, Andhra and Tamil Nadu. Scholarly annotations and narratives of the Hampi and Lepakshi narrative paintings were prepared by IIACD's art and folklore researchers with expertise in traditional South Indian visual and performing arts of Vijayanagara period and post-Vijayanagara.
Two user-driven, open source interactive ceiling plans of the paintings in the Rangamantapa of the Hampi Virupaksha temple, Karnataka and in the Natyamantapa of the Lepakshi Veerabhadra temple which were co-designed with users and developed by IIACD's multidisciplinary digital heritage team of technologists, designers, art and cultural experts.
Revisiting Hampi and Lepakshi Paintings - This short documentary, which premiered at the Digital Hampi Exhibition at Habitat Centre, New Delhi in November 2014, presents the early insights of IIACD's comparative study of the Hampi and Lepakshi paintings.
Virupanna's Lament - This short video is a dramatization of the intangible heritage of the local lore of the feudatory chief Virupanna who allegedly was the main donor patron responsible for the expansion of the Lepakshi temple in the 16th century, and who has also been immortalized in the paintings of Lepakshi temple worshipping his tutelary deity Virabhadra on his own, with his wife, with his brother Viranna and other members of his retinue.
An important contribution of this project has been the democratization of the access to the paintings of Hampi and Lepakshi and their tangible and intangible heritage through open source interactive ceiling plans not only to scholars, artists, students in India and other countries, but also to those who are physically challenged or otherwise lack access to these temples. Even those who have visited these monuments are often unable to appreciate the intricate details of these exquisite paintings, their style, religious and secular themes, narratives, other aspects of their intangible heritage. This project, which has provided universal access to the virtual environments with enhanced tangible and intangible experiences of heritage artefacts, is a major contribution to the tangible virtuality of the digital heritage of two important sites of Vijayanagara - Hampi and Lepakshi.
This project has also made significant contributions to the folklore and art historical knowledge of the paintings in these two Vijayanagara temples. Comparison of the styles and themes of the Hampi and Lepakshi paintings with sculpture and stone reliefs in these two sites and with paintings and sculptures from other Vijayanagara and post-Vijayanagara period monuments in Karnataka, Andhra and Tamil Nadu as well as manuscript paintings has shown that the Hampi paintings previously identified by Indian scholars as middle phase Vijayanagara paintings are from a later period. While the 16th century ceiling paintings in Lepakshi temple in Andhra portray the Indo-Islamicate cultural influence as seen in the head gear and clothing styles of the Vijayanagara patrons and their retinue, a comparison of the themes and narratives of the ceiling paintings in the Natyamantapa and Mahamantapa and with the narrative stone bas-reliefs in the Ardhamantapa reveals close linkages of Lepakshi medieval period's visual art forms to the visual and performative art forms, folklore and other aspects of the cultural traditions of Thanjavur and Thiruvarur District in Tamil Nadu.


Thanks for posting this, very interesting. As an author myself, I shared many of the same experiences and frustrations. It is totally true, old media may be fun to do, but new media leads to sales.
The best advice I can give (which I am sure you will concur) is that a finding a good book agent who believes in your idea is one of the best ways to make your dream of writing a book come true.
They know which publishers (and specifically which editors) will be interested in your concept and help you craft proposal so that it generates interest. This, hopefully, will all lead to the holy grail of selling that book before it is written.
Well then…since you have so much stuff left over from the book, will you be bringing us Rejuvenile II? I hope so. Or maybe Rejuvenile the movie? Rejuvenile the lunch box? Merchandising, baby! Merchandising!
Oh yeah, I suspect that now that the book is out, you'll have an easier time getting celebrity interviews for the next one.

The Adam Clarke Commentary
• Burton Coffman
While Israel abode in Shittim the people commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab, 1. They become idolaters, 2. The anger of the Lord is kindled against them, and he commands the ringleaders to be hanged, 3,4. Moses causes the judges to slay the transgressors, 5. Zimri, one of the Israelitish princes of the tribe of Simeon, brings a Midianitish princess, named Cozbi, into his tent, while the people are deploring their iniquity before the tabernacle, 6. Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, incensed by this insult to the laws and worship of God, runs after them and pierces them both with a javelin, 7,8. Twenty-four thousand die of the plague, sent as a punishment for their iniquity, 9. The Lord grants to Phinehas a covenant of peace and an everlasting priesthood, 10-13. The name and quality of the Israelitish man and Midianitish woman, 14,15. God commands the Israelites to vex and smite the Midianites, who had seduced them to the worship of Baal-peor, 16-18.
Notes on Chapter 25
Verse 3. Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor
The same as the Priapus of the Romans, and worshipped with the same obscene rites as we have frequently had occasion to remark.
The joining to Baal-peor, mentioned here, was probably what St. Paul had in view when he said, 2 Corinthians 6:14: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers. And this joining, though done even in a matrimonial way, was nevertheless fornication, (see Revelation 2:14,) as no marriage between an Israelite and a Midianite could be legitimate, according to the law of God. See the propositions at the close of the preceding chapter.
Verse 4. Take all the heads of the people,
Meaning the chiefs of those who had transgressed; as if he had said, "Assemble the chiefs and judges, institute an inquiry concerning the transgressors, and hang them who shall be found guilty before the Lord, as a matter required by his justice." Against the sun-in the most public manner, and in daylight.
Dr. Kennicott has remarked that the Samaritan and Hebrew texts must be both taken together, to make the sense here complete: And the Lord said unto Moses, SPEAK unto all the heads of the people; AND LET THEM SLAY THE MEN THAT WERE JOINED TO BAAL-PEOR; and hang them up before the Lord against the sun,
Verse 5. Slay ye every one his men
In the different departments where you preside over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens, slay all the culprits that shall be found.
Verse 6. One of the children of Israel
Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief family in the tribe of Simeon, Numbers 25:14, brought a Midianitish woman, Cozbi, daughter of Zur, head over a people of one of the chief families in Midian, Numbers 25:15. The condition of these two persons plainly proves it to have been a matrimonial alliance, the one was a prince, the other a princess; therefore I must conclude that fornication or whoredom, in the common sense of the word, was not practised on this occasion. The matter was bad enough, as the marriage was in flat opposition to the law of God; and we need not make it worse by representing the woman as a common prostitute, as the Vulgate and several others have done. In such a case this is absolutely inadmissible. Josephus positively says that Zimri had married Cozbi, Antiq., 1. iv., cap. 6; and if he had not said so, still the thing is nearly self-evident. See Clarke on Numbers 24:25.
The children of Israel, who were weeping
This aggravated the crime, because the people were then in a state of great humiliation, because of the late impure and illegal transactions.
Verse 8. Thrust both of them through
Inspired undoubtedly by the Spirit of the God of justice to do this act, which can never be a precedent on any common occasion. An act something similar occurs in our own history. In 1381, in the minority of Richard II., a most formidable insurrection took place in Kent and Essex; about 100,000 men, chiefly under the direction of Wat Tyler, seized on London, massacred multitudes of innocent people, and were proceeding to the greatest enormities, when the king requiring a conference in Smithfield with the rebel leader, Sir William Walworth, then mayor of London, provoked at the insolence with which Tyler behaved to his sovereign, knocked him off his horse with his mace, after which he was instantly despatched. While his partisans were bending their bows to revenge the death of their leader, Richard, then only sixteen years of age, rode up to them, and with great courage and presence of mind thus addressed them: "What, my people, will you kill your king! be not concerned for the death of your leader; follow me, and I will be your general." They were suddenly appeased, and the rebellion terminated. The action of Sir William Walworth was that of a zealot, of essential benefit at the time, and justified only by the pressing exigencies of the case.
Verse 9. Those that died-were twenty and four thousand.
St. Paul, 1 Corinthians 10:8, reckons only twenty-three thousand; though some MSS. and versions, particularly the latter Syriac and the Armenian, have twenty-four thousand, with the Hebrew text. Allowing the 24,000 to be the genuine reading, and none of the Hebrew MSS. exhibit any various reading here, the two places may be reconciled thus: 1,000 men were slain in consequence of the examination instituted Numbers 25:4, and 23,000 in consequence of the orders given Numbers 25:5; making 24,000 in the whole. St. Paul probably refers only to the latter number.
Verse 12. - 13. My covenant of peace-of an everlasting priesthood
As the word peace implied all kinds of blessings, both spiritual and temporal, it may mean no more here than the promise of God, to grant him and his family the utmost prosperity in reference to both worlds. The everlasting priesthood refers properly to the priesthood of Christ which was shadowed out by the priesthood under the law; no matter in what family it was continued. Therefore the kehunnath olam, or eternal priesthood, does not merely refer to any sacerdotal ministrations which should be continued in the family of Phinehas, during the Mosaic dispensation, but to that priesthood of Christ typified by that of Aaron and his successors. The priesthood alone is everlasting, and a covenant or grant of that was made to Phinehas, and his descendants. The Jews reckon twelve high priests of the race of Phinehas, from this time to the days of Solomon, nine more from that time to the captivity, (see 1 Chronicles 6:4,15,) and fifteen from their return to the time of Antiochus Eupator, the last of whom was Onias, slain by Lysias. Ezra, the great priest and scribe, was of this line, Ezra 7:1,5. The family of Ithamar, uncle of Phinehas, had the priesthood for about 150 years; but it was restored to the family of Phinehas in the person of Zadok the priest, 1 Chronicles 6:50, in which it continued in the whole about 950 years. Probably the Maccabees were of the same family; but though this is not certain, there is no evidence against it. See Calmet. God therefore sufficiently fulfilled his promise; he gave to him and his descendants almost the utmost temporal length that could be given of that priesthood which is, in its own nature, eternal. Here then the word olam means, not a limited time, but what is eternal in its duration. See Clarke on Genesis 21:33.
Verse 17. Vex the Midianites,
See this order fulfilled, Numbers 31:1-20. Twelve thousand Israelites attacked the Midianites, destroyed all their cities, slew their five kings, every male, and every grown up woman, and took all their spoils.

Up until recently, the only person I had ever seen wearing nail polish was my grand-mother. So I rarely ever wore any, except when I was little and my grand-ma would pass me some; you know, a girly activity to do together. ...then I was inspired by Memorable Days & Burkatron, so I decided to give it a shot. I was amazed at how fun it was and how pretty it turned out. I'll definitely be doing more so stay tuned!
1. Apply two base coats of Beach Bum Blu.
2. Apply Mermaid Glitter to tips of nails.
3. Draw lines & dots with nail art pen.
4. Apply a coat of clear nail polish to seal.
It's important to add the clear top coat to seal otherwise your design will rub off within a day.
Likes: Easy to apply. Dries quickly. Comes in many different colors. Can remove mistakes with water. Looks pretty.
Dislikes: A bit expensive for what it is ($8 CAD). If you don't apply a clear top coat of polish it rubs off within a day. It's very watery. Need to reapply more than once to get desired result.
What toys do your kids have?
Finding suitable toys for my child was challenging. I wanted items that were stimulating and not toxic when chewed. The internet age has placed a lot of information at everyone's fingertips and it isn't always reassuring. Maybe we're being too careful, maybe not, either way, I rather not take the chance. Yes, information may change, but for now, the rule is: BPA, PVC and Phtalates free.
Does every baby have this toy? Really? At first, it seemed so...dull, but then, my son fell in love. I swear, its the first toy he reaches for. He grabs her, bites her, squeezes her. Its really quite cute. She stimulates sight, hearing & touch. She is made out of latex rubber; BPA, PVC and Phthalates free. The paint is also made out of latex, with added food paint. The long neck and small legs make her easy to grab, squeeze and bite. As unlikely as it is, the only negative side is the possibility of choking on the long legs.
The colors are very stimulating, the clinging sound is soft and the different rings challenge dexterity. The Heimess toys are safe for babies; the are made with wood and non toxic, saliva resistant colors. The only thing I don't like is that not much information can be found about this toy on the Heimess website.
I love how versatile these cups are; you can stack them into a tower, you can sort sizes into nests and you can use them as cups to scoop and pour in the bath. They are made out of recycled plastic milk containers and are BPA, PVC and Phthalates free. The only things I don't like are the colors (let's just say they could be a bit more stimulating, like red blue and yellow) and the fact that they are a bit hard to stack into a tower.
These slippers are a-ma-sing. Seriously. They are made with pure wool and are crocheted by hand with extra soft sheepskin lining and tough leather soles. They come in a variety of colors and sizes (including for adults). They "breathe" for year-long comfort.

Q: MySQL sql data text languages (japanese, greek, etc...) I have tables with latin1_swedish_ci column. I've done tests and inserted into them some texts in languages like french, greek, japanese, spanish and it's working fine.
Data written in japanese for example (ぴゃ) are well stored and display.
I don't use UTF-8 and don't want to use UTF-8.
Can I let latin1_swedish_ci or should I use another type/Collation (text/latin1_swedish_ci) for storing texts which can be in many languages ?

A: Using anything but utf8 is still okay. You just have to make sure that the connection you make to your database is made in the same collation.
Also, if you store unicode characters in non-unicode fields, you will face problems when you define indices on them, as the reference table for sorting and indexing the data will not reflect the correct character set.

One More Reason to Build Ocean Resilience: Dissolving Pteropods
Article May 2, 2014 By: Paul Shively Read time:
As an avid fisherman and advocate for healthy oceans, I was concerned to read this week's news coverage about a new finding by federal researchers on the West Coast.
For the first time, scientists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, documented the fact that souring seas are dissolving the shells of pteropods —a tiny translucent sea butterfly that is a key link in the food web here along the Pacific coast. These fingernail-size creatures are eaten by young salmon in the ocean, and their demise may reverberate throughout the food web.
This is yet another signal that big changes are under way in our oceans due to climate change.
It also underscores the validity of Pacific fishery managers' efforts to embark on an ecosystem-based approach to managing the catch of key species off the coast of California, Oregon, and Washington. The Pacific Fishery Management Council unanimously adopted its first Fishery Ecosystem Plan a year ago, which prompts managers to look at how everything is connected in the ocean. Just last month the council took a major step toward fulfilling that plan's first initiative—protecting forage species like sand lance and saury that aren't yet being fished on the West Coast. Making sure we leave enough prey fish in the water is a fundamental principle of ecosystem-based management .
We now see first-hand evidence that oceans are becoming more acidic as they absorb increasing levels of carbon dioxide. This presents an inescapable threat to marine creatures that form shells, from the tiny pteropods examined by the NOAA researchers to oysters savored by seafood lovers around the world.
Those changes aren't a theoretical guess about what might happen in the future. They're happening right now.
Scientists say that even if all the greenhouse gas pollution stopped tomorrow, we couldn't immediately reverse the effect on our oceans from the carbon dioxide that's already accumulated in the atmosphere. That's why it makes sense for fishery managers to do everything they can to help our ocean ecosystems adapt by understanding the changes under way and making sure we adopt ecosystem-based fisheries management measures -- like protections for forage fish species —that will be more important than ever for an ecosystem under stress.
Pacific fishery managers are wise to act with foresight and precaution.

From 6 to 22 April, a ticket for Dynamic Earth will also include access to a sea of special activities, all aimed at raising awareness of the importance of our oceans.
Seasonal events include Atlantic Adventures (11, 14, 15, 20 and 21 April), where youngsters can play with real and virtual underwater robots and find out how scientists are working to protect a changing ocean; Aliens of the Deep (20 and 21 April), a tie up with the Marine Conservation Society, which seeks to discover all the weird and wonderful creatures living within the ocean and how they have adapted to survive; and Revealing Scotland's Cold Water Coral Reefs (17 and 19 April), where families can get hands-on with real reef samples. Don't forget to bring a clean glass jar to make a crafty coral creation to take away!
Coming back to the surface, artist Julia Barton will be encouraging visitors to bring along plastic bottles on 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 April. They can then help to wash and squash these as part of her thought provoking #LitterCUBES project, which raises awareness of litter on local beaches. Elsewhere in the outdoors, young explorers can find out all about the volcanic eruptions that rocked Edinburgh, then head out into Holyrood Park to see the evidence on 12 and 14 April.
Geology fans will want to keep 16 April free in their diaries, as Professor Iain Stewart, presenter of the BBC's The Power of the Planet, will be at Dynamic Earth exploring the geological underworld. In the morning, as part of the Delving into Deep Earth activity, youngsters can discover the uses of different types of rock and minerals and even make their own Earthquake! A later activity – Communicating the Hidden Commons – will take place at 6pm with Professor Stewart and the British Geological Survey, which discusses the challenges of understanding the realm below our feet and managing it more sustainably.
On April 22, the venue will be celebrating Earth Day and providing a whole host of fun, drop-in activities focussed on how we can all do our bit to protect our amazing planet.
With more taking place than can fit into the day, exclusive 'after hours' Dome Night events will also be on offer over Easter (6,9, 10, 11, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 20 April) providing a real full dome cinematic treat. Visitors have a choice of three, spectacular 360 degree films: Holst's 'The Planets'; 'Dark Side of the Moon', inspired by the music of Pink Floyd; and 'Sonic Vision', a mix of rock classics, with popcorn and refreshments also available as part of the unique, immersive cinema experience.
Commenting on this year's Easter programme, Eilidh Massie, marketing director at Dynamic Earth, said: "We're very excited to launch our jam-packed programme for April. This year, our focus is on telling the fascinating story of Scotland's marine life.
In addition to the Easter programme, regular Dynamic Earth features include the ever-popular real iceberg, a bone-shaking earthquake and the Deep Time Machine which takes visitors billions of years back in time.

WASHINGTON — The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Investor Education Foundation and the American Library Association (ALA) have announced $1.19 million in grants to 17 recipients as part of the Smart investing@your library® initiative.
Smart investing@your library® is administered jointly by the Reference and User Services Association — a division of ALA — and the FINRA Investor Education Foundation. The program funds library efforts to provide patrons with effective, unbiased educational resources about personal finance and investing. Now in its seventh year, the program has awarded a total of $8.2 million to public libraries, community college libraries and library networks nationwide.
The new grant recipients will use the funds to implement a variety of programs designed to increase patrons' access to and understanding of financial information. The grants target a diverse group of library patrons — among them youth, veterans, college students, rural residents, grandparents and their grandchildren, and low-income families. Participating libraries will use a variety of technologies and outreach strategies to connect library users to the best financial education and information available. This year's projects give special attention to intergenerational learning and helping adults model effective financial behaviors for children.
The grantees will partner with schools, universities, community colleges, various nonprofit organizations and local governments to expand the impact of the services and resources the grants enable. Library patrons will be empowered to make educated financial choices for both long-term investing and day-to-day money matters.
"The Smart investing@your library® grant program aligns with the emerging, transitional nature of library services and demonstrates the library's role as a community innovator. Libraries across the country are helping family members expand their personal understanding of basic financial concepts, and that builds a lasting framework for success," said ALA President Barbara Stripling.
"The libraries participating in this grant program have a deep commitment to expanding access to effective, unbiased financial education," said Gerri Walsh, president of the FINRA Foundation. "They are taking action to ensure that patrons in search of reliable information about personal finance and investing will be guided by knowledgeable staff to the best available learning opportunities and resources."

[Jack Ma] makes his employees do hand-stand so that they can feel their energies flowing at high level! He also performs in drags as a pop queen for his 20,000-plus employees. What is that leadership style?
But, guess what? The three countries which are top of the pops for drinking beer are the USA, China and Brazil. So, it was in the US one evening, Jack Ma, sitting in his dreary hotel room, was searching for a beer to drink on the internet. He found that all the brands he had electronically accessed were either American or European. There was not a single Chinese beer available on the web-based platform he was using. Thus was born the idea of developing a web-based retailer for China – and then the rest of the world. But, Alibaba was still some years away.
Who is Jack Ma? Everyone in the world knows his name today. He was the toast of the town in Davos at the annual jamboree in 2017 after US president Donald Trump could not have enough of him: all for Ma's promise that he would create jobs in America. This is the same man who was turned down by Harvard Business School 10 times. He had to appear for college admission test in China thrice before he could enter its portals.
The bio of Ma that this writer found most interesting on the internet was of Inc.com. The website recorded that even in starting up he failed twice before the 53-year-old called 17 of his friends to a hotel room and corralled them into coughing up the seed money for Alibaba. It is a legend how this is now a dream come true for the medium- and small-scale businesses of China or, even for that matter, the globe. Those friends who believed their fellow Chinaman are multi-millionaires now.
So, what is Ma's managing style. He makes his employees do hand-stand so that they can feel their energies flowing at high level! He also performs in drags as a pop queen for his 20,000-plus employees. What is that leadership style? My instructor at the premier East West Centre, Hawai'i, would call it "adaptive leadership", a concept created by Professor Ron Hiefitz of ironically, the same Cambridge, Massachussets-based, Harvard.
This is not prescribed by the Peter Drucker types, who wrote management tomes in the 1980s when we were growing up. But, I would say it is more in the nature of then famous International Marketing Group head honcho Mark McCormack. He signed on Jack Nicklaus, the golfing phenomenon before Tiger Woods, in a moment of inspired performance that convinced Jack he could get a humungous amount of money not just playing golf, but lending his name to various products and services, even endorsing building new golf courses.
So, is leadership a factor of inspired moments? Or, is it more diabolical than that? Well, it actually is. The book that McCormack wrote was called What They don't Teach you at Harvard Business School. In that he had recorded another instance of intellectual epitome, the advetrtising guru David Ogilvy.
Ogilvy got the contract for selling Rolls-Royce. But don't the millionaires and billionaires know what a Rolls is? Of course, they are enamoured of the "standing fairy" on the bonnet of the car. They do. So what's new that Ogilvy could do? He took a ride on a Rolls. And bingo! The line that became equally famous as the Rolls was the tag, "At 60 miles an hour the loudest noise in the new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock".
Now what did that actually say about the car? Let's break it down to the basics. It said (a) for tired millionaires, the ride is the smoothest even as his chauffeur drove him home after a hard day's work; (b) how was that achieved: broadly because of highest quality engineering; and, (c) for those who are into mechanics of a moving automobile, the suspension of the car does its work at full capacity, thus giving the rider a smooth as silk drive.
When one begins a journey into any area of activity – thought and action should match. One cannot eternally chase a rainbow for a pot of gold. One has to build, say a software bit by bit, and a product by a genius that seeks to excel beyond one's capacity. Competition is key; but the toughest challenge is the one's with oneself. Have a beer!


New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/05/2017 -- The global cookies market has come into the limelight in recent years as a result of flavor, taste, shape, and packaging innovations mainly driven by health and safety concerns from both regulatory authorities as well as consumers. Cookies are typically eaten as an anytime snack and were initially viewed as an indulgence. Today, a number of companies have cookies with ingredients such as oatmeal that are actively marketed towards health-conscious individuals. The cookies market is estimated to witness a robust CAGR of 5.8% from 2017 to 2022.
