Working out with your partner is not only fun but can motivate you to work harder. And the fitness scene in Calgary offers plenty of outdoor or indoor options to get your heart rate up. From acro yoga to running, here are five options to workout with your partner in Calgary.
Every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Britannia location of Lagree YYC is Date Night, where you two can take class for the price of one, which is $29 ($14.50/participant). A favourite of Michelle Obama and Meghan Markle, Lagree is a challenging full-body, 45-minute workout done on the Megaformer that tones you up fast. While challenging, Lagree is extremely low-impact and everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace. You'll also need socks with grips on the bottom, which are available to purchase at the studio. Lagree YYC Britannia is also located across from Village Ice Cream for some post-sweat treats.
This meetup group welcomes those new or experienced in Acro Yoga to explore or learn more about this practice. While encouraging balance and strength, Acro Yoga can be modified to fit a variety of fitness levels, making it particularly appealing for partners with different level of experience with yoga. And when it is nice outside, the meetup group takes their practice to the park. The meetup group also posts about workshops and classes for those looking to hone their skills even more. Bring your own mat and towel and prepare to fall a few times.
If your partner has never been to this studio before, you can bring them for free to the 9:30 a.m. classes offered Monday to Friday. With its motto being "fight club meets night club" Undrcard brings a full body boxing workout without the risk of getting punched in the face. Classes are 50-minutes long and the instructors review boxing techniques in each class to help beginners while giving a refresher to the regulars. You'll need hand wraps (available for purchase at the studio) as well as boxing gloves (included in the price of drop-in). Not sweaty enough? There is a ring and a gym upstairs to get more practice before or after your class.
The first studio to offer training on the SkillMill, a non-motorized treadmill which is controlled by how fast you run, CrushCamp also offers personal training for two. CrushCamp's personal training sessions start with a personalized fitness and composition test to determine your goals. You can complement your personal training sessions with their signature class – a 50 minute, high intensity interval training (HIIT) on the SkillMill that is different every time you take a class.
Not looking for a studio? Running with a partner is one the best ways to spend quality time together while getting your heart rate up. And luckily, Calgary is home to a number of world-class trails. Running with a partner can also let you explore areas where you might be hesitant to go alone or keep you accountable to run faster and further than you normally would. From Memorial Stairs to Nosehill, Calgary offers plenty of options for those looking for an endorphin high.

Michael Anthony — the glue
January 28, 2007 Beau Dure	2 Comments
Jefito has a brilliant post challenging our conceptions of rock music by making an astonishing point: Van Halen is not Van Halen without Michael Anthony?
"Who?" you ask. The bass player. The one not named Sammy, David or Van Halen. For the first time, Van Halen will conduct business without him on an upcoming tour or album or whatever they think they're attempting.
Jefito says that's a stupid idea. I agree, but for slightly different reasons.
Jefito's argument is musical. He's not impressed with Anthony as a bass player but argues that his backing vocals were a key part of the band's sound.
That's one reason to keep him around. I'll argue that there's more to it.
The comments on Jefito's post hint at my point — in a band full of high-strung people, he was the glue that held things together. He kept the band functioning as a unit and was important to its personality. In a band like Van Halen, that's important.
His departure says everything about why he was needed in the first place. Jefito's summation:
"I'm speaking specifically to Eddie's decision to go public on Howard Stern's show with the news that Michael Anthony had been dumped. The reason for this seems to be Anthony's willingness to go on making music with Hagar, which is a little like a divorced mother tossing her kid out of the house after he has dinner with his dad."
It's worth adding here that Van Halen toured with Hagar just 18 months ago.
Eddie has always been adept at spinning Van Halen's revolving door as the singers' faults. At some point, when you're no longer able to keep a lead singer and you're no longer seeing eye-to-eye with the bass player who kept things from imploding all those years, maybe it's time to look in the mirror.
A lot of bands have a guy who served as the glue …
– John Paul Jones, Led Zeppelin. It's always irritated me that Jones never gets his due. First of all, he was damn good on the bass. (Best example: Immigrant Song.) Second of all, he was clearly the only guy in the band who could be counted on to be somewhat coherent through the haze of the '70s.
– Adam Clayton, U2. Sometimes, being the "glue" means that you're willing to take a supporting role. The bass line in With or Without You is four notes. Period. And the song would not work any other way. He knows he has had a great ride with one of the world's greatest bands. And you get the feeling he helps Bono stay grounded. I may be totally off on this, but I picture him filling the "lukewarm water between two visionaries" role posited by Derek Smalls in This is Spinal Tap.
– Malcolm Young, AC/DC. Kind of a bland rhythm guitarist on stage, but very much in charge.
The new Van Halen will feature Eddie, Alex and Eddie's son Wolfgang, with David Lee Roth singing. Never have I felt more sympathy for David Lee Roth.
Back after a seven-year absence
January 26, 2007 Beau Dure	Leave a comment
Apparently, that's the case with Luscious Jackson, which is good to hear.
Not coincidentally, the "Luscious Jackson Source" is updating its "news" page, with no apologies for the gap between 1999 and 2006.
And bloggers apologize for skipping a couple of days.
Al Against the Machine
Weird Al isn't known for his original songs. Way back when, he would occasionally do a video for one of his more inspired efforts, which generally parody a style or a band rather than a particular song. (Best examples: A couple of movie themes, the Devo-flavored Dare to be Stupid, the doo-wop One More Minute, which hits its peak when the background singers soulfully repeat the last word of the line "I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leeches.)
Al seems to be rare form now, hitting an Aerosmith-esque second wind more than 25 years into hit career. White and Nerdy, a parody of Chamillionaire's Ridin' (no, I hadn't heard it until Al's version came out), is a trip. And apparently his highest-charting single ever … yes, higher than Eat It or Like a Surgeon.
And then there's this one, which takes the overblown anger of Rage Against the Machine and says what's really on the mind of the American people: I'll Sue Ya!
The animated video works well:
Al's Wikipedia entry is a must-read. Things you may not have known:
– He once opened for Missing Persons. It didn't go well.
– Keyboardist Ruben Valtierra is the "new guy" in Al's band. He joined in 1991. No one has ever left the band — drummer Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz joined in 1980, bassist Steve Jay joined in 1982 and brought guitarist Jim West with him. Off the top of my head, the only band I can think of with that kind of stability is Rush (one personnel change in 1974), and they only have three guys.
– Chamillionaire was so happy with Al's parody that it popped up on the rapper's MySpace page before Al had it out. Al's not exactly a technophobe, so that's saying something.
– Al's fans forced Wikipedia to protect the Atlantic Records entry. You have to read the discussion to see why. I can't do it justice. Colbert's got nothing on this guy.
– On the other hand, there are so many imitators in this day of easy uploading that we need a "Not Al" page to list songs that he did NOT record.
Convenient but predictable
Loyal reader Fred passes along a great read about a music professor who has traced the history of how recordings have changed our perceptions of music.
Hard to believe that just a few generations ago, anyone who wanted to hear music had to go to a local hall or play it on a piano. Then we had fragile vinyl for a couple of generations. Then 8-tracks, the goofiest invention I can remember in my lifetime. And now the CD age has come … and possibly gone already.
Funny how the most convenient music becomes, the more disposable it seems.
What we miss as radio dies
Marc Fisher is an erratic Washington Post columnist, clearly out of his element when he starts talking about things beyond his immediate sphere of knowledge (soccer, the Virginia suburbs, etc.). But at his best, he's very good. And he's best when writing about radio, which he did in this week's Post Magazine, taking us behind the scenes of a focus group.
It's mildly depressing, yes, to see that actual human beings can't stand Motown, and that's why Big 100.3 no longer plays it. You may find yourself shifting blame from faceless radio programmers and big companies to your fellow human being and his tin ear.
Highly recommended read.
The timing, as it turns out, was particularly interesting. One day later, which would be today, the 11th-ranked radio station in Washington flipped formats to the "George" format — '70s, '80s, '90s, whatever.
Here are the odd aspects of the deal:
– A radio station chain (Bonneville) is cooperating with a public-radio giant (WETA). Bonneville is basically handing over its music library, and there will be more cooperation down the road.
– WETA is junking a talk format (one or two local shows, lots of NPR/PRI syndication, BBC, etc.) that it picked up only a couple of years ago, somewhat controversially.
– Have we mentioned that the format in question here is classical?
Here are the sad aspects of the deal:
– The station that flipped, WGMS, has been broadcasting classical music for nearly 60 years.
– WETA is flipping from one extreme to another. They've gone from classical with a little talk to all-talk to all-classical, aside from hourly NPR news bulletins and a one-hour simulcast of NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, which is produced nearby. (I once interviewed at NewsHour.) The reactions at WETA's blog hint at the resulting mess — some people are thrilled that WETA is back and claim WGMS never played their favorites, but a lot of people don't like being jerked around. And WETA won't even play the NPR standards like All Things Considered and Prairie Home Companion — though the folks at WAMU are surely thrilled to be Washington's only over-the-air source of such programming. (To folks who'll miss all that programming — get an iPod. NPR and PRI do great podcasts.)
– For amusement, read about WETA's decision to flip two years ago, then read today's press release.
– We've had WGMS on the radio in the baby's room. It's a soothing, friendly presence — the music, the announcers, the ads for things like investing in gold. There's an atmosphere to it you just don't get on faceless XM. (And we only have one XM receiver, which we're not lugging into the baby's room.) I didn't just listen to it because it's classical. Even as a music major, I think classical these days is basically background music. I listened to it because it's local, friendly classical. A couple of commenters on WETA's blog make the same point — they'll miss the WGMS announcers.
– Twelve staffers — many of them Washington radio institutions — are in limbo, though they will have opportunities to interview at Bonneville. (To do what? It's hard to picture the same soothing voices that introduced Bach chattering between cuts from Seal and Poison, the artists Mrs. MMM heard back-to-back as she listened in shock this afternoon.) And what happens to the folks who produced WETA's news program, Intersection? And shouldn't a powerful public radio station in the nation's capital produce more content?
– WGMS was a great station, well-liked. The demographics are just wrong.
– Just listen to the signoff. It's heartbreaking, even as they spin it as a good day for classical music because it gets a more powerful signal and so forth.
The demographics are the killer. I'm a good little capitalist and all, but seeing another demonstration that advertisers (and therefore programmers) don't care about you when your brand loyalties are established bodes ill for everyone's future, doesn't it?
Hope I die before I get old, I suppose. Oh wait — the three classic rock stations don't play that song anymore. Too old.
Weirdest pop hits, No. 1
January 20, 2007 Beau Dure	1 Comment
Well, maybe not No. 1, but it's the first one I've written about. And it's apparently the only No. 1 song Bruce Springsteen ever wrote, and it's not even his recording of the song.
If you grew up in the '70s, you heard Manfred Mann's Earth Band's version of Bruce Springsteen's (my, what a lot of possessives) Blinded by the Light a couple hundred times. And you were probably too young to appreciate what a strange freaking song it is.
First of all, the Springsteen song itself is a convoluted mess. Picture the song Rosalita with a clumsier arrangement and a vocal straight from the John Fogerty "Bathroom on the Right" school of enunciation.
What it had going for it was a collection of enigmatic lyrics with cool rhyming hooks that stick in your head. That must be what Manfred Mann and whoever was in his band that week heard and decided to build upon. (Best tangent from the band's history: One-time drummer Chris Slade, who can be heard on Thunderstruck, was let go from AC/DC even though he was considered the best musician in the group. He's a tad more inventive than Phil Rudd.)
So Mann and vocalist Chris Thompson gave it a go, tossing the song in a completely new arrangement and rejumbling the lyrics. There's no coherent narrative in place, so why not?
The song has earned a wonderful Wikipedia entry — one of the best I've ever seen for a single song. But it only skims the surface of the inherent oddities in the song:
1. Not many songs are built on a spacey keyboard riff that keeps reappearing as the rest of the band abruptly shuts down.
1a. The band abruptly shuts down a lot. The verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-verse-chorus structure does not apply whatsover. This is a hodgepodge of partial verses and one-line choruses popping up at random.
2. Somewhere about two-thirds of the way through the song, Mann (presumably) plays Chopsticks on the piano.
3. Thompson's delivery makes "deuce" sound like "douche." But in the Springsteen version, I have no freaking clue what he's saying. "UPPPP ooos veh neh doooze, guh behna dunner inna nyyy!" Of course, I'm the one who thinks The Rising sounds like "come on up, fertilizer."
4. An ex-girlfriend once insisted to me that this song was a gay anthem. That interpretation hinges on hearing the much-misheard line as "slipped up like a douche" and taking "middle of the night" to be, well, where the sun don't shine. My guess is this is wishful thinking from a dormmate of ours who insisted every guy was gay. Even if that were true, Springsteen would've been way out of his league.
In any case, that would be a new twist on Wikipedia's note that the title is a reference to Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus. In fact, everything I found on a search for "blinded by the light homosexuality" led me to some sort of theological debate.
Manfred Mann had a knack for covers. An earlier incarnation of the band had success with Dylan's Mighty Quinn, and he later recorded a version of the Police's Demolition Man. If you think that's strange, check out the other artist to record that song in the early '80s. That's right — Grace Jones.
See, this is why I find today's music scene so boring. You just don't have anything this bizarre. In my day, the guy who did Doo Wah Diddy Diddy could hit No. 1 with a twisted keyboard reconstruction of a Springsteen tune, a snarling androgynous woman could speak-sing her way through a Police classic, and ELP was covering Aaron Copland. Those were the days.

Q: ActiveMQ heap usage too high (80%) while CPU usage is too low (2-3%) We have 3 ActiveMQ 5.16.3 pods.
We are facing a issue with our ActiveMQ that its pod (any one of three) usage sometimes reaches 80% causing alarms but the CPU usage is too low for that pod (2-3%), and the confusing thing here is it happens around midnight where the message traffic is not that high..like the pods only reach the 80% usage state around in midnight never during day where message traffic is highest.
Any idea of what can be causing such high heap usage and low CPU utilisation?

Earlier this year, I had a preliminary look at a 1:24 scale V-2 kit from a new company to the field, SpaceMonkey Models. It's taken a while, but now I've finally had a chance to have a more detailed look at this big-scale release. For the picture above, I added an AMT 1955 Chevrolet Cameo pickup. It's a few years more recent than the V-2, but gives a good sense of scale.
Construction starts by removing two end-mouldings, one of them here the 'ball' at right. This is replaced by the conical top, a standard injection-moulded part.
During fin assembly, the gates - where 'injection' takes place - need removing and the area sanding flat.
As I said first time around, the kit is made of the usual material - polystyrene - but the way the main part of the kit is moulded is not so usual, as the blow-moulding technique is used. It's common for flying model rockets, where weight is the primary consideration, but not so much for static models, Still, no complaints here, as it makes for a very strong finished model.
Using a supplied template, connecting bolts between upper and lower sections are cut and cemented in place.
Small rear fairings fit between the tailfins.
The Space Monkey V-2 is a simple kit to assemble, not that the V-2 was a complex rocket, externally at least. Four identical runners are supplied for the four fins, each coming in two halves, and the various fairings required.
The Space Monkey kit supplies four V-2 marking variations, two wartime, two peacetime. A World War II splinter camouflage finish is as depicted on the V-2 on display at the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio. The olive-drab V-2 shown is presently on display at the Imperial War Museum, London.
V-2 removed from storage, ready for Operation Sandy.
The post-war finishes supplied are from the display missile at the White Sands Proving Ground (now White Sands Missile Range), New Mexico. The last option is an really interesting one, representing the one and only V-2 ever launched from a ship on September 6, 1947. This was from the aircraft carrier USS Midway during Operation Sandy.
Moments after the successful deck launch.
Thanks to James Duffy of SpaceMonkey Models for the sample kit.

Seeing 'An Enemy of the People' at LA Theatre Works
An Enemy of the People at LA Theatre Works. Photo Credit: LA Theatre Works' Official FB page.
LA Theatre Works is my new favorite place to go to be entertained. In April, the show that was presented was Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People. For those who don't know about the show, it tells the the story of a small town in which one man tries to fix a major wrong, and while supported at the beginning, his initiative ends up being stopped in its tracks "for the good of the many." I found the play to be extremely timely, and the message was, in fact, appropriate to what is going on in the United States now.
The show was really good, and I loved how the cast brought the play to life. It's amazing that so few people can stand in as a lot more, especially when it comes to crowd scenes. Some of the non-famous cast were working on their first LA Theatre Works show, and it was impossible to tell their skill set from the more experienced actors. They all pulled off accents beautifully, and when they needed to jump from one voice to another, their work seemed effortless. As an audience member, I found that really impressive. I've seen other plays in different venues where more experienced actors were unable to pull off that feat. Kudos to these young actors and their bright talent!
Richard Kind was also fantastic as Dr. Stockmann. I loved how he battled with himself to share the bad news about the town's hot springs. The earnestness that was portrayed felt very real, and very reminiscent of some of the political Environmental Protection Agency issues that have been in the news. Do you tell the truth, or lie to continue to benefit everyone, including yourself? Dr. Stockmann takes a very brave path, and I applaud Richard Kind for his performance and integrity in playing him as strongly as he did. Dr. Stockmann never wavers, and neither did Richard Kind.
Gregory Harrison was also great as The Mayor. He played the duality of the role, a man wanting to support his brother, Dr. Stockmann, and a nervous politician worried about the survival of his town, really well. In fact, his performance reminded me of the many masks all people wear throughout their daily lives due to the situations they find themselves in. Yes, The Mayor is corrupt, but he also genuinely cares about making sure his town survives. It's a real reminder that even people that others deem "wrong" or "evil" have their own justifications for their actions.
I don't think I can find enough words for the rest of the cast either. Everyone was absolutely wonderful and gave their all to bring a play which is notoriously difficult to sit through to life.
As a whole, I enjoyed the play because of the performances of the cast. However, due to the length of the production as well as the terminology used, it was difficult to sit still at times throughout the show. I made it through, and I'm really glad I did. I can't wait to see the next show at LA Theatre Works!

Q: Running tomcat app as low privilege user? I'm totally new to tomcat so I might be missing something stupidly simple.
I'm trying to run drools' kie-workbench 7.5 in tomcat 8. I configured tomcat and the app to work with root but it doesn't work with user tomcat that I gave ownership and 777 privileges to the whole TOMCAT_HOME directory.
I used this ansible recipe to install tomcat after I tried manually with no luck with both.
192.168.50.8:8080 loads tomcat but when I try to access 192.168.50.8:8080/kie-drools-wb-7.5.0.Final-tomcat8 which is the address of the app I get this error page.
I tried to run tomcat with this command: sudo -u tomcat TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh
I also tried running it with jsvc with these instructions
And running it as a service doesn't work from my manual installation or the Ansible recipe.
Edit:
logs after launching tomcat with jsvc:

We're getting ready for RIC's 'Art In Motion' gala
The Rehab Institute of Chicago continues to shape lives through the power of art
This spring, the Rehab Institute of Chicago hosts its annual Art In Motion gala on Thursday, May 5 at the Ryan Family Atrium at Northwestern University's Lurie Center. Our firm is once again pleased to contribute as an Art Devotee for RIC's big event. Last year, Ken and Jay had the pleasure of touring RIC's updated rehab wing and meeting with several patients who have benefited from the tremendous resources that RIC continues to provide year in and year out.
The Art In Motion gala, now in its 14th year, is a wonderful opportunity to meet RIC staff members and celebrate all the great things RIC has accomplished. The gala also serves as a chance to ensure the financial wellbeing of the institute by raising money for the Art Therapy and Therapeutic Recreation programs, part of a long-standing plan that encourages patients to create art as a means to overcome traumatic, even terminal injuries.
Sponsorship of Art In Motion allows for a Resident Art Therapist on site 24 hours-a-week to initiate and lead programs; over 700 hours of art therapy services for individuals and groups of patients; one year of twice-weekly movement therapy classes at RIC's Health and Fitness Center.
RIC's Art Therapy Program is funded solely through philanthropic support. The unique aspect of the program makes RIC one of the highest ranked rehabilitation institutes in the world. By providing artistic workshops, RIC gives its patients a chance to re-learn vital aspects of motor skills and coordination, while also allowing them to express their emotions as they adapt to a new way of living.
In keeping with its goals of engaging patients through the power of art, RIC curates a selection of work from participants of the Art Therapy program and artists from around the country. They invite artists to display their pieces in a pseudo-gallery in the Ryan Family Atrium, where the art is put up for sale. The juried exhibition features a range of styles—from impressionist to sculpture to oil and canvas. James Rondeau of the Art Institute of Chicago makes a special appearance as juror, awarding the top three pieces featured in the gallery.
Last year, our firm met several of the featured artists. We ended up leaving with three original paintings that now hang on the walls of our office.
We encourage all of you to look into the recreation programs developed by RIC. Many rehab patients have suffered unspeakable tragedy at the hands of negligence, including accident victims who have come through the institute as a result of drunk driving, distracted driving and any number of illegal activities. Thanks to RIC, many of them go on to lead fulfilling lives despite long odds. We're looking forward to honoring them and celebrating another year of success for RIC.

AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa calls Umashankar's suspension a political victimization
NOW, none other than political heavyweight and former chief minister of Tamil Nadu J Jayalalithaa has come forward to rescue 1990 batch IAS C Umashankar calling his suspension a case of victimization for taking on Maran brothers and another industrialist. Umashankar allegedly used fake SC certificates to enter into civil services.
Earlier, Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) gave full support to the suspended IAS by sticking posters in his favour. (Read: BSP's postering in Umashankar's favour)
Now, Jayalalithaa says the suspension smacks of victimization by the minority DMK government and made him a scapegoat after relations between Karunanidhi and Maran families improved.
She argued that Karunanidhi announced the launch of Arasu Cable Corporation (ACC) to pose a challenge to the Maran brothers' Sumangali Cable Vision (SCV), and made Umashankar the MD of ACC with a specific mandate from Karunanidhi to eliminate Maran brothers' cable entity. She also said that Rs 400 cr was invested in the entity.
Jayalalithaa further argued that the IAS officer, who had been given a mandate by Karunanidhi to take on Maran brothers, was made the scapegoat and the new cable entity, ACC was made dysfunctional.
a) The ACC has approved the appointment of SK Srivastava, a 1978 batch Assam cadre IAS presently additional secretary in the ministry of labour and employment as additional secretary in the ministry of mines.
b) Dr Rakesh Sarwal, a 1988 batch Manipur-Tripura cadre IAS, presently working as joint secretary in the department of public enterprises has been appointed as joint secretary in the department of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy on lateral transfer basis.
c) Ajay Kumar Singh, a 1987 batch Assam cadre IAS IAS, presently working as director in the department of land resources has been appointed as deputy Director General, in the Council for Advancement of People's Action and Rural Technology (CAPART) (joint secretary level).
d) The appointment of BP Sharma, a 1981 batch Bihar cadre IAS as joint secretary in the Cabinet Secretariat has been cancelled.
e) Upendra Tripathi, a 1980 batch Karnataka cadre IAS, presently joint secretary in the ministry of minority affairs has been appointed as joint secretary in the cabinet secretariat.

Singer-Songwriter, JULIA MARIE Discusses Her Upcoming Album and Brand New Single Called "Just A Moment"!
The song intros with dreamy, yet simple chords of a toy piano leading up to Julia's soothing and ethereal voice, which builds up to a dreamy landscape of sounds. The song is a aural getaway to our world of dreams blending luscious textures and highlights curious lyrics to create a rich sound that resonates.
Julia Mare is currently recording her debut album featuring material produced by Peter Rafelson (Madonna, Elton John, Britney Spears) that is due for release in 2016 on RM Records.
How's 2016 treating the band so far? How's your summer been going? What were some of the highlights of 2015 for you?
2016 has definitely been quite a ride so far and I'm particularly excited about my next series of live shows promoting my upcoming EP at different venues around Los Angeles and a guest performance on The Voice of China! Some highlights from last year were performing at the Chinese American Film Festival with Grammy winner Omar Akram and my producer Peter Rafelson, doing an epic beach shoot for my first music video for my song "Here and Now" and a lot of amazing time spent adventuring in nature.
For as long as I can remember music has been my life. When I was in kindergarten my music teacher met with my mom and me after class and asked me to sing the solo for our class performance of Louis Armstrong's What A Wonderful World. It wasn't long until I started studying classical guitar, singing in my school choir and playing any instrument I could get my hands on!
Can you talk about the inspiration for your newest single, "Just A Moment"?
It can be really easy to get caught up in distractions, things from the past, or expectations for the future and Just A Moment is about being present and enjoying the moment with someone even if it might be fleeting. I am an overly analytical person and I can spend a lot of time in my head but some of the most rewarding and meaningful moments in my life have come from being present and letting go of my expectations.
What was it like working with the producer, Peter Rafelson? How did you get to work with him?
I first contacted Peter because he owns and runs an awesome recording studio in LA and I wanted to learn more about recording, sound engineering and the business side of music. When we met up we found that we had similar music inspirations and he really responded to my voice so we instantly vibed and started writing Just a Moment! We started by sharing ideas and musical inspirations then spending many hours in the studio together sitting at the keyboard and figuring out chord progressions, melodies we liked, and crafting lyric ideas. It's been a really interesting and new process since this is my first time co-writing and co-creating something from scratch with someone. Peter is an industry veteran who is not only a skilled musician and smart businessman but also a compassionate person with integrity who I can connect with and understands female artists. It's been an amazing experience so far.
I read that you perform all over Los Angeles. What are some of your favorite venues? What do you think makes a perfect show for you?
Recently I've been playing all different kinds of shows including small clubs and dive bars, the vaudevillian variety show Scot Nery's Boobie Trap, backyard cabarets and as a guest performer at really cool events focused on empowering women like GirlTalk HQ and Activate Her Voice. A recent highlight was performing alongside Grammy winner Omar Akram and my producer Peter Rafelson at the Chinese American Film Festival at the Ricardo Montalban Theater in front of the entire Chinese entertainment industry and broadcast all over China! I'm actually about to do a guest performance on The Voice China as well. A perfect show is one where the sound guy gives us good mix and the audience gets into the tunes.
There are a lot of venues in LA that I absolutely love like The Wiltern and The Regent and I especially love outdoor venues like The Hollywood Bowl and The Greek which hopefully I will play at one day!
I grew up blasting the radio in the car and singing along to Beatles songs and Motown hits. Many of my favorite musicians are 60's/70's rockers especially Jimi Hendrix. I started getting more into contemporary artists like Radiohead, Father John Misty and Lana Del Rey in high school. I would love to collaborate with Father John Misty or cross genres with a super creative, interesting artist like A$AP Rocky.
I believe that music has an amazing power to unite people and cultures, cross borders and transcend language. Although life can get complicated and challenging, I also find it to be overwhelmingly beautiful so I want my music to convey that boundless beauty along with some insight about those challenges that everyone experiences.

Frederick Moore - 'Beautiful Monster'
Beautiful Monster – Frederick Moore
Review by Brandon Watts & Staff
Frederick Moore's grew up in a struggling factory town where he attended Catholic school. The confining nature of his upbringing influenced his decision to leave at age 17. Through gigging, singing, songwriting, and playing bass, he moved out as quickly as he could landing in LA where he received regular exposure and airplay on KPFK, KCSN, and KXLU. With a Masters degree, Moore teaches literature and has released 10 albums. His music combines composition and literature for a unique and fascinating musical experience. His latest 8 track album, American Pentimento, extends the familiar structure of rock music adding chamber, orchestral and literary elements.
Off the album, "Beautiful Monster," is captivating.The song expands itself from a typical rock song into a theatrical and mesmerizing musical landscape that will hold your attention from start to finish. Frederick begins with the story with melodic piano, distorted crunchy guitars and solid percussion with intricate rhythms setting an almost eerie vibe that draws you in.
After the stage is set, the instrumental arrangement lightens allowing space for the vocals to take the spotlight as they begin telling the addictive story of a man who is perhaps stalking a woman or obsessed with her. The story is a mystery and up for your interpretation. Is this man a creeper or is his infatuation harmless? Is the Beautiful Monster the man or is it the obsession?
"On the morning train She sits just like a princess He lingers just a moment more Beautiful Monster."
As the story unfolds, the instrumental arrangement ebbs and flows guiding your emotions by creating suspenseful moments with huge dynamic changes that draw your ear. The undoubtedly intriguing arrangement truly keeps listeners engaged in the lyrics. The composition achieves intrigue not only by setting the tone, but through rhythmic phrasing like switching to a bar of 3/4 instead of 4/4 to help drive the intensity forward.
With a unique prog rock sound, "Beautiful Monster" from Frederick Moore is a record you'll want to experience for yourself. Offering something for the musician's ear and the literary mind, Fredrick Moore writes small novels set to complex and engaging musical compositions that sound familiar, fresh, and fascinating all at once.

I had already been out many hours and felt the torment of a burning thirst, a prelude to my other sufferings.
With what a burning gush did hope revisit my heart!
Warm tears filled my eyes, which I hastily wiped away, that they might not intercept the view I had of the daemon; but still my sight was dimmed by the burning drops, until, giving way to the emotions that oppressed me, I wept aloud.
I trod heaven in my thoughts, now exulting in my powers, now burning with the idea of their effects.

Q: ReDim Preserve doesn't work vbscript I'm novice in vbscript,so don't be strict to me please.
I have this
    Dim positionArray
        positionArray = array()
set qwe = server.createobject("Scripting.Dictionary")
set parentListSorted= server.createobject("Scripting.Dictionary")
qwe = BuildClassificators(parentList,crntArtclId,parentListSorted,sum,positionArray)

Function BuildClassificators(parentList,curArtclId,parentListSorted,summary,posArray)

    Dim i,currentArtclId,items,keys
        items = parentList.Items
        keys = parentList.Keys

    for i = 0 to parentList.Count - 1
            if (items(i) = curArtclId) then

                ReDim Preserve posArray(Ubound(posArray) + 1)
                posArray(Ubound(posArray)) = items(i)
                currentArtclId = keys(i)

                parentListSorted.Add currentArtclId,items(i)

            end if
     next
    BuildClassificators = parentListSorted
End Function

The first problem that when I use ReDim Preserve posArray(Ubound(posArray) + 1) the third time my programm breaks(e.g. the first and the second time when needed it works).The programm just go out from function.What it may be?
And can anybody answer if I return function value rigth?

Trump Trades In Steak For Shark Fin Soup In Vietnam
The dish, a delicacy in some countries, has been linked to severe animal cruelty.

Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang toasts President Donald Trump during a state dinner in Hanoi on Nov. 11, 2017.
President Donald Trump reportedly dined on shark fin soup during a meal in Vietnam.
The dish, which is considered an expensive delicacy in some countries, has prompted a widespread outcry from environmental groups for its links to animal cruelty.
According to The Associated Press, Trump ate the dish as part of a state dinner in Hanoi during his 12-day trip across Asia. E&E News confirmed the evening's menu featured shark fin soup as the meal's fifth course.

Trump is widely known to be a picky eater who prefers to dine on steak with a side of ketchup. However, the president made no comment about the shark fin soup when it was presented to him, White House pool reports said.
Shark fin soup is popular in China and demand for the dish, which can sell for up to $400 a bowl, has skyrocketed as the country's economy has grown.
Based on some estimates, more than 70 million sharks are killed annually to satisfy demand for the soup. To obtain the meat for the dish, fisherman catch the sharks, hack off their fins and throw the animals' mutilated bodies back in the water. Because the sharks need their fins to swim and breathe, the animals slowly suffocate or bleed to death as they sink to the bottom of the ocean.
Although major awareness campaigns about the environmental impacts of shark fin soup have been successful, the dish is still served in eateries around the world.
Some states, including California, have banned the sale of shark fins and a bill was introduced earlier this year in Congress to extend that ban nationwide.

The frill shark, also known as a Frilled shark usually lives in waters of a depth of 600 meters and so it is very rare that this shark is found alive at sea-level. Its body shape and the number of gill are similar to fossils of sharks which lived 350,000,000 years ago. (Photo by Awashima Marine Park/Getty Images)

Q: An a.e.-defined derivative which is not Lebesgue integrable on any interval? If the derivative $f'$ exists everywhere then it is shown here that there exist intervals on which $f'$ is Lebesgue integrable. But perhaps there is a function $f$ such that $f'$ only exists almost everywhere and $f'$ is not Lebesgue integrable on any interval?
Basically I'm trying to make sense of a remark on p. 111 of Folland's Real Analysis: "it is not hard to construct examples in which the singularities of $f'$ are so complicated that $f'$ is not Lebesgue integrable on any interval. In this situation the Lebesgue integral is simply insufficient. However, the Henstock-Kurzweil integral [...] is powerful enough to integrate such $f'$ [...]."


The KAM 4 pin differential is a much stronger upgraded unit due to the heavy duty cross shaft at it's centre and is a direct replacement for the standard 2 pin diff fitted to almost all Land Rovers.
This is NOT a locking diff, but is much stronger than the standard version, so a worthwhile upgrade.
Available for both Long & Short nose diffs.

namespace Cake\Routing;

use Cake\Core\Configure;
use Cake\Network\Request;
use Cake\Network\Response;
use Cake\Network\Session;

/**
 * Provides the requestAction() method for doing sub-requests
 *
 */
trait RequestActionTrait
{

    /**
     * Calls a controller's method from any location. Can be used to connect controllers together
     * or tie plugins into a main application. requestAction can be used to return rendered views
     * or fetch the return value from controller actions.
     *
     * Under the hood this method uses Router::reverse() to convert the $url parameter into a string
     * URL. You should use URL formats that are compatible with Router::reverse()
     *
     * ### Examples
     *
     * A basic example getting the return value of the controller action:
     *
     * ```
     * $variables = $this->requestAction('/articles/popular');
     * ```
     *
     * A basic example of request action to fetch a rendered page without the layout.
     *
     * ```
     * $viewHtml = $this->requestAction('/articles/popular', ['return']);
     * ```
     *
     * You can also pass the URL as an array:
     *
     * ```
     * $vars = $this->requestAction(['controller' => 'articles', 'action' => 'popular']);
     * ```
     *
     * ### Passing other request data
     *
     * You can pass POST, GET, COOKIE and other data into the request using the appropriate keys.
     * Cookies can be passed using the `cookies` key. Get parameters can be set with `query` and post
     * data can be sent using the `post` key.
     *
     * ```
     * $vars = $this->requestAction('/articles/popular', [
     *   'query' => ['page' => 1],
     *   'cookies' => ['remember_me' => 1],
     * ]);
     * ```
     *
     * ### Sending environment or header values
     *
     * By default actions dispatched with this method will use the global $_SERVER and $_ENV
     * values. If you want to override those values for a request action, you can specify the values:
     *
     * ```
     * $vars = $this->requestAction('/articles/popular', [
     *   'environment' => ['CONTENT_TYPE' => 'application/json']
     * ]);
     * ```
     *
     * ### Transmitting the session
     *
     * By default actions dispatched with this method will use the standard session object.
     * If you want a particular session instance to be used, you need to specify it.
     *
     * ```
     * $vars = $this->requestAction('/articles/popular', [
     *   'session' => new Session($someSessionConfig)
     * ]);
     * ```
     *
     * @param string|array $url String or array-based url.  Unlike other url arrays in CakePHP, this
     *    url will not automatically handle passed arguments in the $url parameter.
     * @param array $extra if array includes the key "return" it sets the autoRender to true.  Can
     *    also be used to submit GET/POST data, and passed arguments.
     * @return mixed Boolean true or false on success/failure, or contents
     *    of rendered action if 'return' is set in $extra.
     */

Australian war hero receives the Victoria Cross
The Victoria Cross for Australia has been awarded to a sniper from the elite Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) at a ceremony at Campbell Barracks in WA on the weekend.
Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith VC MG ('RS') was awarded the Commonwealths top military honour for bravery for his actions in a 13 hour long firefight in Afghanistan last year.
Along with the Medal for Gallantry he was awarded in 2006, the VC now makes him the most decorated serving soldier in the Australian Army. While the identities of SASR soldiers are usually classified, the Army has allowed RS to step out of the shadowy world of the Special Forces to tell his story of extraordinary heroism.
The VC was awarded for a battle in June 2010, when RS and approximately 25 SASR soldiers assaulted from helicopters into the Shah Wali Kot region of Southern Afghanistan, a known Taliban stronghold. After immediately coming under heavy fire, RS and 2 others slowly worked their way up to 3 Taliban machine gun positions where they were pinned down. RS then stormed the Taliban positions head on over 40 metres of open ground and eliminated all 3 guns and their occupants. He then worked his way back, continuing to eliminate enemy positions in depth. He said of his actions "I looked over and saw my mates getting ripped up, and I wasn't going to do nothing. So I thought I'd have a crack.'
He was previously awarded Australia's 3rd highest honour, the Medal for Gallantry, in 2006, for holding off a size-able Taliban assault with just his sniper rifle. During this battle, one of his comrades recalls "RS just tore a Taliban fighter off his back like an insect, stood on his throat, and shot him dead." It was during this battle that RS and his teammate helped account for some 60 Taliban killed.
Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith VC MG now joins a very exclusive club of living recipients of the Victoria Cross, bringing the number to 11. During the almost decade long war in Afghanistan, just 4 Victoria Crosses have been awarded. One British, one New Zealander and two Australian.

Q: Android issue: change parameter from general class My problem is simple. But I can't solve it. Help me please guys.
I have an Activity which contains a EditText and a Button. When I type a number and press button. It could change the value from an other java file.
The actual mainFunc.java is:
public class mainFunc {
    private mainActivity mycontext;
    public int num = 10;
    public int mynum;
    public mainFunc(Context context){
        mycontext = (mainActivity) context;
    }

    public int getNum(){
        Random random = new Random();
        mynum = random.nextInt(num) + 10;
        return mynum;
}

Here is the mainActivity:
public Button btn;
    public EditText number;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn);
        number = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.number);

        btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                mainFunc func = new mainFunc(mainActivity.this);
                int newnum;
                newnum = Integer.parseInt(number.getText().toString());
                newnum = func.num;
            }
        });
    }

Ideally, because of the change of num, mynum should be changed as well.
But, after I clicked button, the num and mynum in mainFunc.java didn't change. (I use Log.e to check them.)
Could someone tell me why?  Many thanks.

A: If I am not wrong and I understood your question properly then, This line  newnum = func.num;
 should be  newnum = func.getNum();
You forgot to call getNum() method of mainFunc class, which will change the values of num..
EDIT:
Also put   mainFunc func = new mainFunc(mainActivity.this);  this line in onCreate() out of button's click method..
something like,
public Button btn;
public EditText number;
mainFunc func;
@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn);
        number = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.number);
        func  = new mainFunc(mainActivity.this);

        btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                int newnum;
                newnum = Integer.parseInt(number.getText().toString());
                newnum = func.getNum();
            }
        });
    }

A: You create an mainFunc instance each time the onClickListener being triggered.
The num will always be 10. And you create a Random instance each time in method getNum, that's could be the reason why the values remain the same.

A: you need static values of num and munum which are needed as data:

A: As per you comment , if you want to change the value of num,
func.num=newnum;
int test=func.getnum();

make num as static;
If you print the values i think you got what you need mynum also changed i think.

Casting Black People as Cops Will Not Stop Black People from Dying
by Maya Williams
Maya Williams
Maya Williams (she/her & they/them) is a writer based in…
CW: Black death due to police
(First, I want to name that this is my own experience in my consumption of media. This does not take into account the representation of Black detectives and cops before the 2010s.)
I understand the general concern for the future of filming TV shows and movies since COVID-19 forced us into global quarantine (in the United States since March). Different production teams have different standards for filming or not filming. However, my biggest concern has been what is going to happen in shows and movies regarding the depiction of police since the deaths of Black people, such as Tony McDade, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and more, on top of the fear and harm that has already come out of this pandemic. I'm nervous about the 2020s.
We ought to be hyperaware by now of Black Lives Matter as a hashtag, a phrase, and a movement with the goal of making sure Black people are safe and protected without the use of law enforcement and gun violence.
That visibility has been beneficial to create media supporting that goal as a valid narrative. The Hate U Give (2018) centers on a young Black woman's response to the movement after her friend gets killed by a white police officer. Blindspotting (2018) centers on a formerly incarcerated Black man navigating gentrification and the death of an unarmed Black man in his neighborhood, along with his own struggles because of his time in prison. The excellent documentary 13th highlights the historical roots of police violence and mass incarceration as racist systemic tools that continue in the present; it's heavily advertised on Netflix as we speak despite it being out since 2016.
The issue that comes with that visibility is show-runners and filmmakers attempting to empathize with police and law enforcement. The casting of more Black people as law enforcement has often correlated with the hyper-awareness of Black people's deaths, such as Jamar Clark (2013), Michael Brown (2014), Sandra Bland (2015), Philando Castile (2016). There were only fourteen days in 2017 when no one was killed by police.
In the TV show Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013–present), two of the leads are Black cops, one of them gay, in the fictional NYPD 99th Precinct (Terry Crews and Andre Braugher); their storylines have often intersected with speaking out against police brutality and discrimination (even though they are still the police). In one episode of the TV show S.W.A.T. (2017–present), Shemar Moore plays a police officer Sgt. Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson whose father learns to reconcile and "trust" the police again because of his son's role in the force. Even in the animated movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Miles Morales's father is a cop (though he is not the main character). In the introductory scene, a police car pulls in front of Miles, but audience expectations are soon flipped from him being arrested; it is simply his father picking him up to drive him to school.
Why Nicole Beharie's 'Miss Juneteenth' Performance Shouldn't Be Ignored This Awards Season
Each of these forms of media has been critically acclaimed, and it hasn't stopped Black people from dying. This is reflection of real life, too. Hiring more Black cops did not stop the influx of deaths of Black people by law enforcement. Casting Black people as cops, whether they're in a lead role or not, did not stop the disproportionate numbers of incarcerated Black people.
In 2020, when Black Lives Matter is even louder in the call to defund police and to end incarceration, I'm not interested in any more films and shows empathizing with police officers or prisons.
Hollywood has been funded by systems to maintain capitalism as an entity; Michael Bay being funded by the military for his films is an example. As people on our screens are becoming more diverse, production teams still don't match their creations' casting choices. Hollywood is an empire still being run by predominantly white male industry folks.
Therefore, it is Hollywood's responsibility create entertainment that effectively shows what defunding the police looks like — what it looks like when justice for Black lives is served, and showing that justice delayed is not justice served; what it looks like when communities create accountability instead of prisons perpetuating punishment and disposability stemmed from slavery. Hollywood needs to do more than post on Twitter their "value for diversity." I don't have the patience.

We've had an invasion of sorts….a far east, invasion. Exotic? … Yes …. Beautiful? …. Yes …. Loud, chicken feed loving, and hard to capture by cell phone photography? …. Yes, yes and yes!!
I think it's mating season!!
But, the boys call out to her….and she hides in the grass….
The boys seem to know where is…..
Ms. Peahen is well hidden…she has gotten as low as she can in the tall grass…..
…and I believe that they peacefully found each other, or they didn't…either way, they disappeared. Maybe in a couple of months or so we will see something like this again…..from 2014….
Please have a wonderful, wonderful Sunday!!
My neighbor has goats. Enough said…..until you add in the peacocks, guinea fowl, geese, numerous barn cats, horse, etc., etc., etc.!! I think the 6 acre farm of which these animals reside is large enough to contain them, but goats, cats, and feathered fowl have a way of breaching the boundaries.
This late spring brought new kids to the goat family. As the kids grew, and horns became noticeable and imposing, my job with these cute little critters began. The squares of our wire fence line are big enough for a goat to stick their head through to taste the delicacies of the other side of the fence…our side. This is totally fine with me for a few different reasons, not the least of which is the control of poison oak, and black berry vines along the fence line…a real plus. The difficulty comes in as the goats and their horns grow, they find that putting their head through the fence is easy…backing out is another story. Those horns hook the wire, and the poor little goat gets stuck. There is a certain sound a goat makes when they are stuck. I am quite attuned to that sound now.
When I first hear the call for help nowadays, I hope that its liberator is quickly on their way…in the form of my neighbors. When the whaling goes on for a couple of hours, I have pretty much learned that help won't be coming anytime soon for the little guy…or gal. Feigning the thoughts of trekking through poison oak, I can't leave a goat stuck when it is calling for help. The goats know me by now…they don't even flinch when I approach. I maneuver their head, lining up their horns…a little lift here, a little turn there and wallah…they are free. At first it takes them a moment to realize their freedom, then, like a lightning bolt, they bound away…only a few hops, then they stop…look at me, and bounce off. It makes the threat of contracting poison oak all worth it!
The goats horns have grown too big now to maneuver out, so recently, I have had to cut the fence to get them free. There are also bigger now, and when I push, they push back…at that point, they are immoveable. I have grown quite fond of my neighbor's goats, and hope that a smaller mesh fencing to go right alongside the larger squared fencing is in my neighbor's plans…somehow, I don't think so….and on it goes!!
Einstein back with the family!
