Gatz - Did He Like It?
One morning in the office of a mysterious small business, an employee finds a copy of The Great Gatsby in the clutter of his desk. He starts to read it out loud, and doesn't stop. At first his coworkers hardly notice. But after a series of strange coincidences, it's no longer clear whether he's reading the book or the book is transforming him. Gatz is a theatrical and literary tour de force, not a retelling of the Gatsby story but an enactment of the novel itself. Over the course of a single 6 1/2 hour production, Fitzgerald's American masterpiece is delivered word for word, startlingly brought to life by a low-rent office staff in the midst of their inscrutable business operations.
October 6, 2010: The most compelling love affair being conducted on a New York stage this season isn't between a man and woman. (Or a man and a man, a woman and a woman or a boy and a horse.) It is between a man and a book.
October 6, 2010: Rarely has waiting around for a computer to reboot created such good theater. That's how the insanely inventive "Gatz" at The Public Theatre begins: With a regular guy in a tie coming into work, sitting at a desk in an empty, shabby office and finding his screen uncooperative.
October 7, 2010: In my younger and less vulnerable years, before I had been assigned "The Great Gatsby" in three different courses, I would have welcomed the idea of watching someone on stage spending six and a half hours reading aloud F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel – all 47,000 or so words — as we're promised at the outset of the play "Gatz," which has now opened at the Public Theater.
October 7, 2010: At times, "Gatz" casts such a strong spell that it feels as if the world outside the Public Theater has ceased to exist. And then there are the deadly boring stretches. Very long ones, considering the play lasts eight hours, including two intermissions and a 75-minute dinner break.
October 6, 2010: The culture's currently crawling with Gatsbyesque figures, from the silicon ciphers of The Social Network to the "self-made" congressional candidates of the tea party. But anyone seeking this generation's true second coming of the late, great James Gatz should take a trip to the Public Theater and see Gatz, a complete, six-hour-plus recitation/re-creation of The Great Gatsby, American literature's enduring touchstone, as well as its fetishized golden calf. Gatz's architects, the rightly revered downtown theater collective Elevator Repair Service, treat it like scripture, reading it end to end. That they do so with lusty irony takes nothing away from the holiness of their literary mission — in fact, it enhances it, exfoliating great gaudy barnacles of accumulated Gatsby kitsch, and forcing a reassessment of our deepest beliefs about ourselves, our culture, our most treasured illusions, literary and otherwise.


Given my previous experience as executive secretary for a major contractor, the role of project secretary at Eindhoven Airport was perfect for me. YER realised that and got the ball rolling right away, so I could start work quickly. It's a great job in a great team: my responsibilities include complex diary management, planning, preparing for and reporting on project meetings with internal and external partners, drawing up order confirmations, budget monitoring, and so on.
YER quickly realised that they had a match and acted accordingly. YER also offers sessions on topics such as Lean and NLP, and there's always a coach available to help you if you need a sparring partner. It's all very easy, and the consultant is always enthusiastic.


The ID1300x² is an all new injector, designed in partnership with Bosch Motorsport. This collaboration has given us the ability to design a high flow injector with characteristics specific to the needs of the motorsport tuner. The ID1300x² was designed with alternative fuels in mind, and is the only performance injector available with all stainless internals. It is compatible with all known fuels, and will stand up to the corrosive nature of alcohol better than any injector on the market.
While the ID1300x² was designed with an eye towards ethanol fueled engines, we have accounted for the occasional need to convert back to gasoline. The ID1300x² has a minimum fuel mass compatible with gasoline use, and will provide exceptional idle and cruise behavior under these conditions. In addition to its multi-fuel capabilities, the compact body of the ID1300x² allows fitment in 200+ applications, making it the most versatile injector in our lineup.

Q: How to upgrade from Twitter BasicAuth to Oauth in my iPhone Application I have struck with posting my application to apple because of following reason.
Application is not posting tweets to twitter. I have implemmented twitter with basic Auth. so that it is not working from August 31, 2010.
So can any one help me
How to upgrade from Twitter BasicAuth to Oauth in my iPhone Application.
Another question is:
This (Oauth) should not change the UI of my application. means when user clicks on twitter button it should ask user name and password every time, and if we click on send button it should send tweets to twitter.
i implemented the Oauth but it is asking the username and password one time.

A: I suggest you check out MGTwitterEngine on GitHub. This library wraps up the Twitter API nicely and does the OAuth stuff as well.
You don't need to ask you user for their username and password every time.  You can get their credentials initially and then store the access token you get back from Twitter (or from MGTwitterEngine if you choose to use that library) and use that for next time.
MGTwitterEngine wraps up the access token with an OAToken object which does the persistence for you.

A: http://code.google.com/p/gtm-oauth/ is a drop-in OAuth implementation for iOS and Mac OS X

It was really hard for me to see my daughter so sick.
Some years ago, my daughter Katie (Cherokee/Choctaw), a healthy 24 year old, was living with a friend and working as a nurse's aide. Katie's friend offered her a place to stay and in return Katie agreed to help care for her friend's baby when she was not working. That winter, Katie came down with cold-like symptoms and a cough. Her symptoms went on for weeks and she saw doctor after doctor in several different facilities. They figured she had a cold or bronchitis and gave her cough suppressant, telling her the cough would eventually go away. When I talked to Katie, she was very uncomfortable and exhausted from her cough. She seemed so frustrated that none of the medications she was taking worked. She just wanted the cough to stop.
It was really hard for me to see my daughter so sick. I wanted to be more aggressive about getting some answers. But she's an adult, so I couldn't do much. But since Katie wasn't getting better, I finally encouraged her to come to the clinic where I worked as a registered nurse. This time, I personally asked the doctor who was seeing her to test for pertussis.
The doctor was skeptical and didn't think she could have pertussis. So, I said "just humor me please" and the doctor agreed to order the test. All the medical staff was surprised when my daughter was diagnosed with pertussis a few days later. That's because the pertussis cough in adults doesn't always have the "whoop" sound, so it often goes unsuspected.
Katie has no idea how she was exposed to pertussis. But since she worked as a nurse's aide, she could have been exposed at work, through a patient or someone else.
Following her pertussis diagnosis, both Katie and I worried that she might have exposed her friend's baby to this disease. Pertussis can be deadly for infants and she had been helping care for the baby when she was sick. Katie urged her friend to take her baby to the pediatrician.We're lucky that this story did not turn out to have a tragic ending. The baby turned out to be fine and Katie finally stopped coughing after about three months. As a self-described "germaphobe," she had been extra careful to always wash her hands and cover her cough while near the baby. The potential was definitely there for this baby to be unwittingly exposed. But Katie's friend and baby were lucky. I believe Katie's hygiene practices were the only reason the baby did not get pertussis. If it were someone else, that might not have been the case.
I'm telling this story because much can be learned from my daughter's experience. Providers in the community need to be aware that even healthy young people can get this disease—and spread it. Also, a persistent cough should be explored sooner than later. I think Katie's diagnosis would have come sooner if she had a medical home. It took a lot of persistence to finally get to Katie's true diagnosis. After being a witness to my daughter's experience, I like to encourage anyone whose cough symptoms persist to seek care and ask about a pertussis test. Anyone who's going near a baby should their wash their hands and get a Tdap shot.

What's The Purpose of This Presentation?
To Dispell the Myths - And Document The Factual Evidences
This site was deliberately made as an Audio-Visual "Presentation" - The purpose of the presention is explained in the Introduction.
Enter The Presentation: Then press the [START] button to watch the Introductoin for more information.
Requirements to View Virtual 3D Version
Since this is an AUDIO-Visual presentation that extensively incorporates video, a Speaker or Headphones are Required.
A High Speed Internet connection is also needed.
CHROME (or Edge) BROWSER Required - more ►
(NOTE: At this time the virtual 3D presentation is only known to run on the Chrome or Edge browsers - Firefox, Safari and Opera were tested, and failed.
Also, this should be the only tab open on the browser used. If you normally use Chrome, then you can use Edge just for this presentation (or visa-verse)
Also, if the video gets out of sync or choppy, you will need to close and reopen the browser.
The 3D presentation uses Babylon.js, a 3D gaming library developed by Nicrosoft. A text only version of the site is not available and none is planned at this time. However, for most of the presentation text will scroll along in sync with the presenation as you view it
This web site is designed to automatically scale to fit your browser window, and should be viewable on most display sizes from tablets to HD desktop monitors.
However, it is designed to be viewed in the horizontal (landscape) position (where screen is wider then it is high).
NOTE: It is best to be viewed in Full-Screen mode. The [F] button on the lower left corner will toggle Full-Screen mode on/off. FPS: Frames Per Second. The video control panel will display your FPS. Most monitors are 60 fps, better ones and gaming ones are faster, up to 300 fps. However, the 3D can only be rendered at whatever your device is capable of.
I developed with with an i-7 Intel processor with 8 cores, and RTX3060 NVidia GPU with a 300 fps capable monitor, but using the NVidia graphics processor I can only get 60fps.
Using the Intel Graphics Processor the fps drops to 15-25 fps. It still runs ok at that speed, but, video is not as smooth, Anything below 30fps the video will not be as smooth, and below 15 fps can become choppy and hard to watch
KNOWN ISSUES: (3D version) Video starts lagging the audio. The issue is with the Chrome browser. more ►
This problem is magnified when you have a number of browser tabs open
If you experience video falling behind the audio, or not playing at all and buffering for long period, try closing all other tabs and run with only this tab open.
You may also need to close the browser and reopen it.
Direction of Management - Presentation
In 1970 Srila Prabhupad wrote a formal paper he titled the "Direction of Managment" [DoM] by which he formed the GBC (The Governing Body Commission). The DoM laysout the fundamental structure of how Srila Prabhupad wanted his ISKCON Mission to be managed by the Temple Presidents and GBC.
A brief summary: more ►
A brief summary is that in this document His Divine Grace stated that the GBC were to serve a modified 3 year term. Every 3 years 2/3rd of the GBC would go up for re-election. The Temple Presidents were to decide if they concluded a GBC member was doing their duty nicely, then the Temple Presidents would re-elect the member to serve another 3 year term. If, however, the Temple Presidents concluded a member was not performing their services properly, the Temple Presidents would selected, from amount a ballot of existing Temple Presidents or Temple Secretaries, a new member for the GBC
That system, which was the system Srila Prabhupad himself formulated, and what he originally wanted, would have provided a very effective and practical system of checks and balances for the top most level of management for his mission. Also the Temple Presidents were to be elected by the members of the local temple.
For many decades the vast majority of members of ISKCON had never heard of or seen this DoM document before. And, when devotees did read it for the first time, many considered that system to be most vitally needed today in Prabhupad's mission.
I will be producing an extension to this presentation on the Direction Of Management as soon as I can get to it.
You can check back to this site in April or May of 2022. OR if you prefer, you can request we email you when it is up.

About Ameyatma das [ACBSP] - Who Produced This Presentation
Back in 1968 I had given my life to Jesus and to preach God's word. But, very quickly I realized I didn't know who God was. I read the Bible from end to end, and found no real diect information about God, the Person. What does He look like? What does He do? What is His kingdom really like to live there. I found nothing in the Bible. I then read the Torah, then the Koran, but they were of the same origin, and none of them gave any real infromation of Who God 'really' was.
Eventually I found Buddhism and was attracted to the deep introspection of Eastern thought, meditation and chanting of Sanskrit mantras. But, shortly I realized that again there was no direct or detailed knowledge as to who God, the Person, really is.
In 1969 at the college library I found a small Bhagavad Gita. Not Prabhupad's, but it was just the verses translated into English. it changed my life. I had been searching for what God Looked like, and what His kingdom is like, and I found the most profound Teachings of God in the Bhagavad Gita.
But, there were no picures in that book. And, again, no descriptions of what He looked like, and what His kingdom was really like.
So my search to find out Who God really was, what He looks like, What He does, what His kingdom is like, continued.
I finally realized what I needed was a Guru, someone who already knows God in full, a truly Self-Realized master. I must find such a guru and surrender my life to him, and he can teach me who God is.
For some time I searched and prayed for my guru. But, I found no one living in this world who was really and truly Self-Realized. I then became convinced that my guru was no longer living in this world, so I thought I can only find him in the library, in a book that he had written.
One evening I prayed intensely for God to send me my guru in the form of a book. And I prayed that in this book my guru will tell me everything I want to know about God.
This was now the summer of 1970. The next day I went to the West Covina branch of the Los Angeles County Library system - and there - waiting for me were 3 books.
The Krsna Book,
the Teachings of Lord Caitanya and
the Nectar of Devotion.
Those 3 books had been donated just the day before by, what the Librarian described as a man with a shaved head, pony-tail and flowing white robes.
She asked me if I knew who that was, and I said, "Yes". That was an angle sent by God.
I told her I had been praying to God to send me these books, and so he had sent one of his angles to bring them for me.
The librarian's knees buckled and she caught herself by grabbing onto the counter. She almost fainted. After that, she said nothing more, but, her hands were trembling as she completed checking the books out for me.
The reason I told her that, is because at the time, that is what I thought because of the way she described the person who donated the books. At that time I had never seen a devotee or knew how they dressed. I had prayed intensly to God, the Father, to please send me a book written by my guru who would tell me all about Who God really is. And, the next day these 3 books were there. And the librarian told me the person who brought them wore flowing white robes. So, that had to have been an angle who brought those books.
It wasn't until eary in 1982, nearly 12 years after this took place, that I first told this story to anyone. And, the first person I told this to happened to be Jayatirtha, my local GBC in Detroit at the time. He had been the Temple President in LA in 1973 when I joined the temple there and one day he asked me how I came to join ISKCON, so I told him. This was just months before Jayatirtha left ISKCON. He told me that was he who donated these books to that library. (He truly did act as God's angle because he brought me SP's books - he gave me my guru and my guru gave me Krsna.)
Jayatirtha told me that the very first box of the Krsna Books had just arrived from the printers just the day before. The next day he had to come to West Covina as he was servicing a shop that sold the Spritual Sky incense. That store was near the library. For a year the temple had the hard book printing of the Teachings of Lord Caitanya, and earlier that year the hardbound Nectar of Devotion arrived from the printers. And now they had the hardbound Krishna Book. Devotees hadn't yet distributed many of the hardbound books, and so he thought why not donate the very first Krsna Book to be distributed, along with the other 2 hardbound books, to the West Covina library, since he would be driving right by it that day. He told me that this was the very first Krsna Book to be distributed - and I got it just 2 days after it arrived from the printers.
Even though I immediately accepted SP as my guru in the summer of 1970, I even woke up the next day a vegetarian, which even I didn't know why, (I had touched the Krsna Book). I didn't know anything about any temples. 3 years later, in 1973, I joined the Los Angeles temple. Srila Prabhupad gave me initiation later that same year.
In 1974 I began training to paint for Prabhupad's books for the BBT, but in the fall of 1974 Bharadraj had returned from India to start what became known as the F. A. T. E. multi-media museum project. I joined with him and that became my main service while Srila Prabhupad was with us in this world.
I began as an artists, but, suggested the museums add sound/lighting and effects, and so my service turned to designing the electronic control system for the museums. Then I started producing the Audio-Visual presentations.
In 1985 the GBC elected me as ISKCON's Minister of Audio-Visual Productions.
As I began producing this presentation - in my prayers I offered Srila Prabhupad the use of my services, and offered to produce for Him whatever he wanted me and directed me to produce. In my prayers I told him that I no longer cared which side of this issue I would present, as my only prayer was that He guide me in such a way that this presentation will be what HE wants, not what ameyatma das wants.
This presentation is the summum-bonum end-results of those prayers.
Table of Contents - Navigation
Within the presentation, there will be a Table of Contents ( ToC ) or the Main Menu where all the main sections and indivual videos are listed and can be accessed.
From the ToC you can view all of the links to the presentation's content. The site uses Web-cookies which then saves data on your device as to where you are at in the presentation, which shows you have watched. You can also create a "Play Later list", etc.
(We use cookies to keep track of what videos you have watched and the Play Later List - However, cookies are stored on Your devic
If you use a different device it cannot access those cookies and will uses it entirely separate set of cookies)
Audio/Visual Presentation Controls
Once you Enter the presentation - after the scene loads, on the bottom of the screen will be the Video Control panel
It has 2 rows,
On the top raw is a Settings button (gear), Prev, Next, Forw (10 sec), Back (10 Sec) Play/Pause Speed Control (at times you may want to speed the presentaion up to view it in less time), a Vol Control, and the FPS (frames per second) session_status
The lower row shows the current playing time, the current location and Title of Video, and the duration length of the video
On the far left bottom of window are an M for Menu (you can click on the M, or use the keyboard "M")
To the Right of M is either an empty space, or you may see a Yellow and Red "R" - used to RESTORE camera view to Presentation view
The presentation is made within a 3D virtual world, and you can move about the scene, if you like, by using the Keyboard (arrow keys or W A S D) Or the Mouse (holding the left key and moving the mouse), or touch and drag on touch devic
However, once you do Move the camera, or start walking around the scene, then the yellow/red "R" will appear. This means you have moved around and the camera is no longer
being controlled by the presentation. You can return to the Presenation View (Restore the view) at any time by pressing "R" (clicking on it, or the key 'R"')
When you see the "R" Flash for a few seconds, that means that you are not in the presentation view, and the presentation would have moved the camera view to a didferent locaiton. So if you are not seeing what the audio of the presention is talking about, and the "R" is visible, just hit R to restore the view
MENU brings up the Navigation Menu
Settings (Gear), you can deselect AutoPlay. By default the system is set to Automatically Play after loading in the video/animation files
And, after the current video plays, it will automatically go to next video, and again automatically start playing it
If you don't want this, de-selecting AutoPlay, the system will still load the next video, but, it will not autotically start playing it.
Use PLAY/Pause to start/pause
PREV takes you back to the PREVIOUS Video (or text file)
NEXT takes you to the Next file
automatically begin playing after the page loads.
FULL SCRN (or F11) puts the presentation in Full Screen (highly recommended)
There is also a volume level bar where you can select the current volume level
Time, current playing location and length of presentation is shown, as well as a progress bar.
You can drag the Current Time indicator left or right to Rewind and Fast Forward to anywhere in the presentation at anytime (just as you would via a video). It is really quite simple and straight forward.
Once a presentation has completed the control panel will again come up. You can view the next presentation listed in the Table of Contents by pressing NEXT, or you can use the Navigation Menu to select your next choice, or goto the Table of Contents from the Menu to select your next choice.
Remember, the Table Of Contents has the feature of allowing you to Tag each section yourself manually. After viewing a presentation it is a good idea to go into Table of Contents and flag it as Viewed.
Taking control of the Camera :
You can also take control of the camera and move the camera around in the scene. You can zoom in/out, dolly in/out, pan left/right and up/down and rotate the camera in the scene. Each scene is built as a 3D set and this allows you to interactively move the camera view around in real time while the presentation is being played. In some scenes the program may block or restrict or reset camera location at times.
3D camera controls:
Middle Mouse Wheel : dollys camera in/out
Left Mouse Button (holding down) and moving the mouse : Tumble or rotate the camera around at it's focus point
Right Mouse Button (holding down) and moving the mouse : You can select and move around 'some' of the 3D objectes in the scene
Keyboard Cursor Keys : Up / Down / Left / Right pan the camera in those directions
(Holding the SHIFT key + the cursor keys speeds up the panning, and holding CNTRL key + cursor keys goes even faster)
Cursor Up/Down + 'D' key : Dolly the Camera In/Out
Cursor Up/Down + 'F' key : Change the Focal Length (zoom setting) of the lens, from extreme wide angle to far far telephoto
'R' key will RESET the camera and movable 3D objects to the presentation's proper or programmed location
Future Use of the Presentation System we developed:
The presentation system we have created and used to present our Analysis of the Rtvik issue has been developed with the aim of using the same presentation system to produce online A/V presentations of Prabhupad's Bhagavat Philosophy. Online 3D museum sets with Audio and 3D animation to present our philosophy. This is our main goal and intended use for creating this presentation system.
We simply decided, however, that the first presentation we make will be for ISKCON internally, and present our analysis on the Rtvik issue. As soon as production for the Rtvik site is complete we will focus on an interactive 3D animated presentation on Bhagavad Gita As It Is.

History Isn't Always Carved in Stone. Even when it is.
A recent Talker article on the subject of nationalism included a photograph of a stone from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Highland Park which references November 11, 1918. The stone's inscription states in part: "November 11, 1918 – Germany surrenders, and at 11 a.m. German delegates sign the terms of surrender in Marshal Foch's train carriage…The 'Great War' is over…".
With all due respect, both to those who erected this stone and to the event it commemorates (and at the risk of being labeled an historical nit-picker), what caught my eye were three factual inaccuracies literally carved in stone. With Veterans Day less than a week away, now would seem to be a good time to point out these errors in hopes that eventually the inscription may be corrected and the record set straight.
The Germans did not surrender on November 11. As background, in October 1918, hoping for a better deal from the United States than they could expect from France or Great Britain, the German government had notified President Wilson of their desire to enter into negotiations to end the war based on his previously announced "Fourteen Points". Wilson responded that the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II would be a precondition for peace negotiations and that if the Kaiser remained in power the US would not negotiate but would demand that Germany surrender outright. Several weeks of power struggles within the German government and military were finally resolved when the Allies, sidestepping abdication for the moment, agreed to open truce negotiations on November 8. Upon arriving at Compiègne outside of Paris, the German delegation was stunned to discover that "negotiations" consisted of being handed a list of non-negotiable demands and to be given 72 hours to accept them or face renewed hostilities and the invasion of the German homeland. On November 10, having been informed that the Kaiser had abdicated the previous day, the delegates were also notified by the German government that Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg had requested the armistice be concluded in order to save the German army from destruction, and that as a result the delegates were authorized to accept the Allies' terms.
The German delegation did not sign the armistice at 11:00 on November 11. That document was signed a few minutes after 5:00 am Paris time, to take effect at 11:00 am, the historic, "Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month" as it was obvious that time was needed to notify all Allied and German forces of the cessation of hostilities. (2) A rather blood-thirsty competition commenced among the Allies to see who could claim the "honor" of firing the last shot of the Great War, resulting in massive amounts of artillery and rifle fire being expended up to, and even past, the appointed hour.
America's involvement in the fighting ended when a German-American army private, Henry Gunther, part of a patrol that was unaware of the impending armistice, approached a German road block in northern France in the late morning of November 11. Gunther charged ahead of his comrades and started firing at the German troops. Despite being shouted at in English by the better-informed German soldiers that an armistice was about to go into effect, Gunter kept firing until cut down by return fire. He died at 10:59 am, the last American, and possibly the last Allied soldier, to be killed in the war. He had recently been demoted from sergeant, but the army posthumously restored his rank and awarded him the Distinguished Service Cross.
(1) This lack of a formal surrender was later used by Hitler to claim that Germany had not been defeated in the Great War but had been "stabbed in the back" by scheming, socialist politicians. To avoid a repetition of this situation, the Allies ensured that Germany surrendered unconditionally in writing to end WWII in Europe.
(2) The German delegation had requested that a cease fire be proclaimed prior to the signing of an armistice in order to avoid the further unnecessary loss of life. This request was rejected by Marshal Foch with the result that an estimated 11,000 additional men were killed or wounded in the six hours between 5:00 am and 11:00 am.
(3) By one interpretation, WWI didn't truly end until almost 92 years after the Armistice when Germany made the last payment on the massive reparations debt imposed on them in 1919 under the Treaty of Versailles. Germany had suspended payments in 1931 during the world financial crisis and Hitler refused to resume them after the Nazis came to power. A post-WWII conference on the outstanding reparation debt ended with the West German government agreeing to resume payments once the country was unified. With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of the country in 1990, payments resumed, the final installment of 70,000,000 euros being paid on October 3, 2010.
As seen in Remembering the Korean War in Rochester, another plaque on the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Walk of Honor is incorrect. July 27th, 1953 did not end the Korean War, but only marked a cease fire. Technically, North Korea and South Korea are at war, although recently there have been renewed calls for a formal ending to hostilities.

Q: Strange socket.io.js error on client side I'm getting these strange error during my attempts to get socket.io working.

Also, my socket.io.js file appears like this in chrome:

I know my socket.io.js file does not have this within it.
My client code is as follow:
// Set up sockets
var socket = io.connect();

socket.on('statusMessage', function(data){
    console.log(data.message);
});

My server code is as follows
var serv_io = io.listen(server);
serv_io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket){
    socket.emit('statusMessage', {'message': 'Succesfully connected to serve via   sockets'});
});

I am also requiring socket.io in a simple way:
var io = require('socket.io');

I am also deploying on Heroku.
Why is this happening?

A: I found out my error. And it was a very simple error. I wasn't including socket.io.js properly on my HTML file.
When using the socket.io library, the client side JavaScript doesn't need to be manually downloaded and included. You own node.js server actually serves it.
I just had to include:
<script src = "/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>

Choices, choices, choices. Giving a credible, polished performance of Handel's "Messiah" requires an enormous number of choices, from broad stylistic decisions to details of accents, ornaments and dynamics.
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and Milwaukee Symphony Chorus began a weekend of "Messiah" performances at area venues with a concert Wednesday at Concordia University in Mequon.
Under guest conductor Ben Gernon, the orchestra and chorus were joined by soprano Sari Gruber, mezzo-soprano Abigail Fischer, tenor David Webb and bass Kevin Burdette in a beautifully rendered performance built of facile, expressive, historically informed playing from the orchestra, and nimble, expressive singing from the soloists and chorus.
Gernon's take on the piece was rich in details and interpretive nuances, such as the small trill inserted in the second half of several held string chords in "Comfort ye my people," to much broader strokes, such as beautifully arced choral phrases and striking-yet-graceful diminuendos in "All we like sheep."
The vocal soloists brought their own choices to the performance, from mezzo Fischer's warm, compassionate, powerful deliveries, soprano Gruber's clear, ringing sound and drama-infused interpretations, and tenor Webb's light, facile executions of melismatic writing, to bass Burdette's stirringly bold, sit-up-and-take-notice deliveries of movements such as "Thus saith the Lord" and "The trumpet shall sound."
The chorus, prepared by acting chorus director Robert A. Harris, delivered its own nimble, nuanced performance. They moved lightly and cleanly through fast, melismatic passages, delivered some beautifully focused, controlled, soft dynamics and gave articulate musical shape to familiar melodies.
The traditionally roof-raising choral movements, including the iconic "Hallelujah" chorus, were more reserved than one usually hears. It was difficult to tell if the oratorio's larger choral movements were delivered in reserved dynamics by decision, or whether that was the Concordia Chapel acoustics at work.
The players of the MSO delivered a warm, blended and extremely facile and expressive performance, full of artfully placed and executed accents, ornaments and dynamic contrasts.
MSO "Messiah" performances continue Sunday at several locations. For ticket and location info, visit www.mso.org or call (414) 291-7605.

MaIAGE is developing original mathematical or computational tools that can be either generic or motivated by a dedicated biological question.
Context: Fluorescence imaging and microscopy has a prominent role in life science and medical research. It consists of detecting specific cellular and intracellular objects of interest at the diffraction limit (200 nm), using wide field as well as confocal microscopy, after tagging them with genetically engineered proteins that emit fluorescence. In this context, the past decade has witnessed a tremendous interest in the concept of Super-Resolution Microscopy (SR-M) and 3D fluorescence Light Sheet Microscopy (LS-M). One of the main reasons explaining this enthusiasm lies in the discovery of methods to break the diffraction limit established in optics several decades ago. Since, variants of SR-M (awarded by Nobel Prize in 2014) and LS-M have been investigated in an increasing number of biological studies. The so-called Lattice Light Sheet Microscopy (LLS-M) represents at present the novel generation of 3D fluorescence microscopes dedicated to single cell analysis, generating extraordinarily sharp, 3D images and videos. However, the usual conventional image processing algorithms developed for fluorescence microscopy are likely to fail to process the deluge of voxels generated by LLS-M instruments. The DALLISH project aims at improving the core of 3D image processing and quantification methods to face this computational challenge. The proposed methods will be used to decipher mechanisms involved in protein transport observed in LLS-M experiments.
Reconstruction of very huge 3D images: Inverse problems and image processing may be intractable with LLS-M because we are facing very large temporal series of volumes (200–1000 images per second for one 3D stack) acquired for several hours. These volume series represent several hundreds of Gigabytes if the LLS-M is used to study the 4D interplay of several proteins in the same cell at the same time. Accordingly, the usual methods need to be extended and novel strategies have to be found since computation is extremely heavy in LLS-M experiments. First, we will address the problem of image reconstruction (including deskewing) and deconvolution, which are the core and mainstream parts of LLS-M. All 3D data sets have to be deskewed to account for the 31.8° angle of the detection objective. Deconvolution of 3D images reduces blurring from out-of-focus light and enables quantitative analyses, but existing software for deconvolution is slow and expensive. We are aiming for parallelized methods that reconstruct and deconvolve 3D images faster than conventional software (few seconds per image) and run on a low-cost graphics processor board (GPU).
Image analysis of huge 4D images: Several image analysis methods need to be developed to quantify intracellular trafficking. First, we will study the problem of detection and segmentation of individual molecules/spots and extend the state-of-the art methods developed in 2D imaging to 3D LLS-M. Second, we will adapt the usual optical flow and tracking methods in fluorescence microscopy to meet the requirements in 4D LLS-M imaging. We will focus on the recent optical flow methods that combine local and global approaches and use the concept of estimator aggregation. An additional promising paradigm based on temporally varying object counting on multi-scale 3D spatial grids will be examined in the project. These segmentation and motion analysis methods and algorithms will be used to track endocytic and exocytic building blocks in time and 3D over the entire volume of a cell, such as to be able to follow individual transport vesicles and molecules propelled by motor activity, from the cell surface into the cell (endocytosis) or from endosomes to the cell surface (exocytosis).
Quantitative microscopy with biophysical models: Given image motion-based features and tracklets (small trajectories), we will investigate quantification methods to represent interactions between molecules and trafficking around three lines of research. First, we will study 3D space-time global and local object-based co-localization methods to quantify interactions between molecular species. Second, the dynamics of trajectories will be classified into three categories: Brownian motion, confined diffusion, directed diffusion. Therefore, statistical tests will be developed to replace conventional methods (e.g. MSD), which cannot reliably discriminate these three motion types. Moreover, the detection of regime changes occurring along trajectories will be modeled by generative models and analyzed in the Bayesian framework. Finally, given N tracks associated to N molecular species, stochastic models representing interactions between the molecular species will be also studied in the Bayesian statistical framework. Third, we will investigate approaches to estimate molecular mobility and active transport from the computed trajectories or optical flow descriptors. We will investigate the concept of super-resolution to provide spatially high-resolved maps of diffusion and active transport parameters based on stochastic models. An additional approach will be based on sparse image representation combined with biophysics to localize molecules at higher-resolution than the LLS-M resolution.
Endocytosis and exocytosis pathways analysis: Understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying membrane traffic pathways is central in fundamental cell biology and crucial to the treatment and cure of human disease: various human diseases caused by changes in cellular homeostasis arise through a single gene mutation; pathogenic agents such as viruses, bacteria, or parasites have evolved mechanisms to corrupt the host cell response to infection. Here, we propose to combine LLS-M, quantitative bioimaging, individual-based modeling and cell biology to assess the functional properties of molecular complexes and elucidate the role of key molecules involved in the endocytosis and exocytosis pathways. To this end, the algorithms, gathered in well-defined workflows, will be exploited to analyze experimental data composed of several series of proteins expressed at endogenous levels after genome editing. The framework will be quite flexible to adapt to a large range of biological studies and 4D microscopy modalities.

Antiques Roadshow: Discovering America's Hidden Treasures Review
Our Review by Jennifer Allen on August 26th, 2011
Rating: :: LACKING
Offering hidden object hunting that fails to be a cut above the rest.
Developer: Namco Networks America
Device Reviewed On: iPad 2
Game Controls Rating:
Turning a show like Antiques Roadshow into a Hidden Object game is a mystery in itself. Some form of appraising game might have been fine and quite interesting, getting players to guess the value of items. A Hidden Object game feels like a larger leap however. Adding a storyline for instance is a little painful, not quite working within the concept. That's not to say that Antiques Roadshow: Discovering America's Hidden Treasures is bad. It's just not really interesting enough to bump it up the list of other Hidden Object games available.
The loose storyline involves Julia, an antiques enthusiast who digs her way around various landscapes in order to find new treasures. It's not quite as simple as that though and it's not long before secret codes emerge and mini games start playing a role. The problem is it's not that interesting a tale.
Much of the time is spent searching around typical landscape scenes such as in a shed or attic. Players have to collect up all the items on the list as is usually the way in such titles. There's the addition of special items to mix things up slightly but the concept is the same. Tap too many times incorrectly and a cloud of dust gets in the way, requiring a swipe of a finger a few times to clear it. It's a nice touch at first. The problem lies in that the game doesn't feel overly sensitive to the touch. A few times, I'd tap an object and it wouldn't respond until I hit just the right spot on the screen. If it was occasional, it wouldn't be so bad but this happened frequently enough to be an irritant.
Besides the Hidden Object segments, there are a few mini games interspersed in which Julia must fix the antiques before submitting them for appraisal (don't get excited: the appraisal part isn't interactive). A classic example of 'don't try this at home' as the antiques would be sure to be ruined by an amateur hand. Some of these mini games are ok; others are quite dull such as one that involves searching through buttons to match corresponding ones up.
Therein lies the problem with Antiques Roadshow: Discovering America's Hidden Treasures. It's just not compelling enough, instead feeling very by the books in terms of what's required of a Hidden Object game. Throw in the fact that controls are a little unresponsive at times and it makes for an average game amongst a sea of other titles that are a more attractive bunch.

Stornoway in Scotland wants to be the UK's first Spaceport
By James O'Malley 11 February 2016
This service is calling at Stornoway, Infinity and Beyond.
Scotland could soon become home to the UK's first spaceport, according to wildly optimistic plans unveiled by councillors from the Western Isles. Yes, that's the part of the Scotland that's hard to get to and is a million miles from basically everywhere.
STV reports that Stornaway Airport could soon become a Spaceport, which could be capable of receiving both horizontal and vertical take-off vehicles. It could be ready by 2018.
This follows a call from the UK government for bids to host Britain's first foray into space launches, with other touted locations including Glasgow Prestwick Airport and a number of RAF bases. Several of the latter have already been discounted because they are needed for normal military operations.
The hope is that such a spaceport would attract the likes of Virgin Galactic and Xcor to the area, as well as boost Western Scotland's science and technology industries. Xcor, has apparently already expressed an interest in setting up shop in Europe.
The remote location could prove to be a boon: CAA rules for spaceports require runways of more than 3000m, and the ability to be extended if need be. They also have to be away from populated areas. Coastal locations are also preferred. So don't expect to be heading to the Moon via Heathrow any time soon.
Stornoway, we have a problem.
So could Scotland soon become a major player in the space industry? There's perhaps just two tiny flaws in this otherwise brilliant plan.
First off, space launches generally require good weather, hence why Virgin's current base is in the Nevada desert and NASA launches from Florida… and secondly, it is generally better to launch rockets from closer to the equator.
It turns out that the SNP was making wild claims it can't deliver on long before the Scottish referendum.

Wai-Kai Chen ( (Chen Wai-Kai), born December 23, 1936 in Nanjing) is a Chinese-American professor emeritus of electrical engineering and computer science.

Biography
Wai-Kai Chen's youth was troubled by the Sino-Japanese War of 1937–1945 followed by the civil war between the Nationalist and Communist forces. Born into an intellectual family, he had a twin brother Wai-Fah, an older brother Hollis, an older sister Eileen, a younger sister Helena, and a younger brother Wai-Sun. The family was on the Nationalist side. In 1949 Wai-Kai Chen's maiden aunt went with Wai-Sun and Helena went to Taiwan. Some time later, Wai-Kai, Wai-Fah, and Hollis made a harrowing and adventurous escape to Tawain. In Taipei, Wai-Kai and Wai-Fah entered formal education as sophomores in the Junior High School of Taiwan Normal University. In the 1950s Wai-Kai Chen went to the United States to study electrical engineering. In August 1962 in White Plains, New York, he married Shirley Chen (the sister of his friend Stanley S. Chen).

Wei-Kai Chen graduated in electrical engineering from Ohio University with a B.S. in 1960 and an M.S. in 1961 and from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a Ph.D. in 1964. From 1964 to 1981 he was a faculty member in the department of electrical engineering of Ohio University. From 1981 to 2001 he was a full professor and head of the department of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of Illinois Chicago. For the academic year 1970–1971 he was a visiting associate profess at Purdue University. For the 1st semester of the academic year 1979–1980 he was visiting professor at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. For the academic year 1986–1987 he held a visiting position at Chuo University, where he worked with Maskazu Sengoku and Shoji Shinoda. He has served as the editor-in-chief of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers and of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs, the president of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, and the founding editor-in-chief of the Journal of Circuits, Systems and Computers.

Chen is the author or editor of more than 30 books and the author or co-author of more than 280 technical articles. He was the co-author with John Choma (1941–2014) of Feedback Networks, published in 2007 by World Scientific. Chen has given more than 70 presentations at national or international conferences. He has done research on "VLSI circuits, broadband matching, active networks, filters, and applied graph theory especially its applications to parallel computations."

He received in 1967 the Lester R. Ford Award for his article Boolean Matrices and Switching Nets. He was elected in 1977 a fellow of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and in 1978 a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Among his books that are widely known among electrical engineers are: Applied Graph Theory, Theory and Design of Broadband Matching Networks, Active Network and Feedback Amplifier Theory, Linear Networks and Systems, Passive and Active Filters: Theory and Implements, Theory of Nets: Flows in Networks, The Circuits and Filters Handbook (3rd edition), The VLSI Handbook (2nd edition), and The Electrical Engineering Handbook''.

The last Cavalier Mk2 to be produced was the Cavalier Calibre. Based on the SRi130 with styling from Aston Martin/Tickford and the body kit, sports suspension and exhaust being produced by Irmscher, it was a limited production run of only 500 cars. The idea of the Calibre came during the run our of the Cavalier Mk2. Vauxhall/Opel had surplus Saloon body shells which they had to move. Irmscher UK were involved with fitting along with Tickford The car came with a very high specification including a trip computer, recaro seats, power windows and power steering. It cost around £13,000 when released in 1987. This model differed slightly in Germany where it was sold as the Ascona Sprint. The differences where that it came with an Irmscher Steering wheel, where as in the UK the Calibre had the standard Cavalier wheel. The seats were Rally Twill whereas the Calibre had Chicago velour trim. And it was also available in Polar White and Astro Silver along with the Carmine Red. The Calibre was just available in Carmine Red. There was also light differences in engines in Germany as the Sprint started with the 20NE then went to the C20NE and 20SEH. To cause even more confusion the car was also available in Switzerland where it was not badged Sprint but i200, the reason for this was that a model using the Sprint name was already on sale. The specification and colours were the same as the Sprint but the i200 had the following additions Fog Headlights, height adjustability on the driver's seat, the 2.0i (C20NE) engine had a catalytic converter and tinted glass. There are believed to be 1399 Ascona Sprints produced and 879 Ascona i200'.

Cover of The Superman Family #164 (April–May 1974), the initial issue published under that title.
Cover art by Nick Cardy.
The Superman Family was an amalgamation of the titles Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane, Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen, and Supergirl. The first issue, #164, took its numbering from Jimmy Olsen, which had reached issue #163 and thus had the most issues published. Lois Lane ended at #137, while the newly launched Supergirl book had only made it to #9 at the time. A tenth and final issue of Supergirl was published five months after Superman Family's launch.
The Superman Family went through two distinct phases. In its inception the three leads Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, and Supergirl rotated new stories each issue with reprints for the other characters. The first six issues (#164–169) of the series were in the 100 Page Super Spectacular format and Nick Cardy was the cover artist. Changes were made in the setting of Supergirl's adventures during the character's run in the title. She moves to Florida to join the faculty at the New Athens Experimental School in issue #165. In an "imaginary tale" set in a possible future in issue #200, Supergirl, now known as Superwoman, is depicted as being the Governor of Florida in her secret identity of Linda Danvers. She leaves Florida and relocates to New York City to become a soap opera actress in issue #208.
After the cancellation of Super-Team Family, a Supergirl/Doom Patrol team-up originally scheduled to appear in that title was published in The Superman Family #191–193. Supergirl battled the Enchantress in issues #204–205 and teamed with the Legion of Super-Heroes in issue #207.
The Superman Family became the first DC Comics series in the 80-page Dollar Comic format, consisting of 64 pages of new stories, beginning with issue #182 (March–April 1977). With that issue, the "framing element" was removed from the covers, and the book switched to printing all new material. It became a monthly series in 1981 starting with issue #207.
The Private Life of Clark Kent—The adventures of Clark Kent in which he used his powers and skills without becoming Superman. This feature had moved over from Superman after issue #328 of that series. (#182, #191–196) After the cancellation of The Superman Family, it returned to Superman for two more appearances in issues #371 and 373.
DC published several other ... Family titles concurrently with The Superman Family. These included Batman Family (1975–78), Super-Team Family (1975–78) and Tarzan Family (1975–76). As a rule, DC's other ... Family titles contained mostly reprints and featured a higher page count and higher price than DC's other titles.
With issue #222 (September 1982), The Superman Family was canceled and replaced with The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl, which briefly featured a "Lois Lane" backup series.
In 2012, DC launched a new series titled Superman Family Adventures written by Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani and drawn by Baltazar. Baltazar and Aureliani are the winners of the 2011 Eisner Award in the category "Best Publication for Kids" for their work on the Tiny Titans title for DC. Fuzzy, the Krypto Mouse, a character who appeared in a single story in Superboy #65 (June 1958), inspired a similar character created by Baltazar for Superman Family Adventures. Superman Family Adventures ended with issue #12.
