Q: Test if reduction of coefficient of variation is significant I have the following problem:
I want to compare two different quantification processes and I use the coefficient of variation as quality metric. So in principle my data look like:
experiment method1 method2
1            a11     a12
2            a21     a22
3            a31     a32
and so on
method 2 gives a lower CoV (standard deviation / mean). However the question is: is it statistically significant?

A: If the coefficient of variation is defined by $$\text{CV}=\dfrac{\sqrt{\text{Var}[X]}}{\mathbb{E}[X]}.$$
If you estimate the coefficient of variation by $\hat{\text{CV}}=s/\bar{x}$. You can use the following confidence intervals $\text{CI}$ to see if all coefficients lie inside the same confidence interval (hence, no change).
$$\text{CI}:\hat{\text{CV}}\pm z_{1-\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{\text{CV}}^4+0.5\hat{\text{CV}}^2}{N}}.$$
In which $N$ is the sample size.

API Design
----------
0. This is a low level api meant for other frameworks to use to provide
   blocking and/or not blocking system calls.
1. Don't expose the blocking functionality -- only the non-blocking.
   The entire point of this library is to get the non-blocking functionality.
2. Errors are with a return type -- no exceptions are thrown.
   This library is meant for framework creators to build on top of.
   Frameworks will need to make an explicit decision of how they deal with
   errors.
3. Threading. We assume that only fs, getaddrinfo, getnameinfo and
   user specified work use other threads. We need to call
   caml_c_thread_register () _once_ on each of the threads in the
   internal thread pool. However, there is no mechanism exposed to allow
   one to run initialization code on the threads. So we make a call to
   caml_c_thread_register before _any_ callback that can be running in another
   thread. This is more expensive than needs be, however it gets the job done,
   and (from looking at the implementation of caml_c_thread_register) it appears
   that it is pretty cheap to call this subsequent times.
   See http://docs.libuv.org/en/v1.x/design.html
   See http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml-4.00/manual033.html#toc151
   See https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/blob/4.02/otherlibs/systhreads/st_stubs.c#L544
4. Callback arguments. We tried to add type safety where reasonable.
   TODO once we get some feedback add thoughts.

* As few dependencies as possible (no Core).

Questions
---------
* Should we try and use the Unix.sockaddr for sockaddr? or try and use the libuv methods?
  eg see the tcp_echo_server example.
  let make_sockaddr port : Unix.sockaddr =
  let open Unix in
  let host = gethostbyname "localhost" in
  let inet_addr = host.h_addr_list.(0) in
  ADDR_INET(inet_addr, port)

From new shops to restaurants closures and Reading Festival to celebrity appearances, there's been plenty to talk about in Reading this year.
However, there are a few stand out events which really got people talking.
First off, punters received news there would be no more cheeky drinks in The Monks after pub operator JD Wetherspoon appointed CBRE and Savills to handle the disposal of 45 of its pubs back in May. But, rejoice, it reopened under new ownership in December.
Shoppers in Reading town centre were left stunned in March, as a flashmob performed the Erasure hit A Little Respect outside The Oracle.
People looking for a bargain were pleased to hear bosses at Primark had finally confirmed an opening date for Reading's new store, and floods of people arrived for the opening at the beginning of November.
Aside from this, there were some other big stories that pipped the top spots for most read.
We've taken a look back at 2016 - here's what getreading readers have been looking at the most.
Argos announced it would be closing its Reading town centre store at the beginning of 2017.
getreading revealed back in September that the company would be its 10,000 sq ft unit in Broad Street Mall.
News of the closure generated a lot of debate and the fact Argos had been acquired by Sainsbury's in a £1.4 billion deal also raised a few eyebrows among commenters.
The Bracknell home in Picket Post Close, Martins Heron - better known as 4 Privet Drive among Potter Heads - was put up for sale earlier this year.
The home which is featured in the first film of the franchise, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, went on the market for £475,000.
The owner of the house confirmed the property was taken off the market at the end of October.
In 2001, the Bracknell property was selected out of hundreds around the UK to be used in as the home of Harry's uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and cousin Dudley Dursley.
The house was only ever featured in one of the films due to logistical problems, so the street was recreated in a studio for the later films.
It was the news that sent Reading's late night pub dwellers wild as plans were revealed to pull down the After Dark nightclub in London Street.
A planning application was submitted to Reading Borough Council to convert the town centre club into 10 flats.
The plan was thrown out by councillors over fears of its "poor design and a lack of affordable housing".
It's been a long standing tradition for 'proper Reddin' born and bred' to stop off at the club on a night out, and the After Dark troops rallied together to launch a campaign to save it.
Back in February 2016, getreading revealed which restaurants and takeaways in the town - as well as Bracknell and Wokingham - had a rating of zero or one star.
One of the restaurant's on the list did clean up its act after receiving a zero star hygiene rating and all the restaurants have now been retested and regraded.
More recently, we revealed that more than a third of food premises in Reading have received a written warning for bad food hygiene.
And in November a Whitley food shop was closed due to a rat and cockroach infestation.
This is one of the highest rates in the country, with four in 10 of all premises serving food in the area receiving a written warning over hygiene issues in 2015/16.
One of the top stories from Reading Festival 2016 was South African rap-rave group Die Antwoord's angry message on Instagram.
The duo took to Instagram to post the message after being "disrespected" by Reading and Leeds Festival organisers.
Rappers Ninja and Yolandi Visser performed on the main stage at the festival on Friday, August 26.
Despite their killer performance which fans loved, Ninja later posted a picture on his Instagram account with an angry message complaining about how they had been treated.

What Huawei to go: Hundreds of Chinese tech giant's US workers to get pink slip – report
F-35B Block 4 software upgrades will cost Britain £345m
After we leave the EU we could cover that in a week with change to spare ... allegedly
By Gareth Corfield 22 Mar 2018 at 09:59

The F-35B cockpit, as seen by your correspondent in a simulator earlier this year
Britain will spend £345m ($486m) upgrading its F-35B fighter jets to the most recent, combat-ready, version of the aircraft's operating system.
The figure was indirectly revealed by defence procurement minister Guto Bebb, in response to a Parliamentary question.
"The UK's contribution will be around 4.5 per cent of F-35 Program common upgrade costs, from which the UK gains 100 per cent of the benefit," said Bebb in his answer to Plaid Cymru MP Jonathan Edwards.
Figures reported by The Times newspaper pegged US estimates for upgrades to the supersonic stealth fighter at £7.67bn ($10.8bn) for software development and £3.84bn ($5.4bn) for deploying those upgrades across all F-35s ever built.
F-35 flight tests are being delayed by onboard software snafus
The sum payable by the UK is for deploying Block 4 of the F-35's core software to the UK's jets, which number 15 airframes at the time of writing. As we reported in January, the mishmash of OS versions currently running on the global F-35 fleet has hampered flight testing as ever more bug reports pile up from pilots and maintenance crews.
So far all of the core OS versions developed for the F-35 have been written to get the aircraft through the key tests it has to meet for its formal declaration of Initial Operating Capability (IOC), which is the point where the aircraft, its main sensors and its main weapons can all be used together in a warlike situation. The UK expects to declare IOC for the F-35B in December this year.
Block 4 of the F-35's core OS is intended to be the final combat-ready version, though, judging by its comments on the previous version, Block 3F, the US Department of Operational Test and Evaluation appear to think this may not be the case.
IOC can be compared to Full Operating Capability (FOC). Think of IOC as similar to Windows' Safe Mode – it'll do a handful of core tasks OK but you haven't got full functionality – and FOC as the whole shebang.
Cost has been an ever-present factor in public discussions about the F-35 project as a whole. The fighter is already expected to be the most expensive military aircraft ever produced, even before any fully operational versions are deployed.
Of public concern in Britain is the Ministry of Defence's extreme reluctance to confirm simple details such as "are we still buying 138 F-35Bs?", "how much are we paying for each aircraft?" and "have we accounted for spares and upgrades?"
The answer to the latter question would appear to be "no", judging by the ominous silence of the MoD.
While Lockheed Martin, the aircraft's builders, have previously told The Register that they want to get the cost per jet down by 14 per cent, the current price of an F-35B is $121m (i.e. 75 per cent of the 2012 price of $161m, as quoted by the defence procurement minister in February, at the link), which is £85m at current exchange rates.
617 Squadron RAF, the first frontline British F-35B squadron, is scheduled to form up in the UK this summer. ®

The Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1), 1972.
This satellite with its solar panels deployed is shown after tests at the General Electric plant at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. ERTS-1, which soon became known as Landsat 1, was launched on 23rd July 1972. The first three Landsats were modified Nimbus meteorological satellites. The Landsat programme is an ongoing one. Landsat 7, launched in 1999 is able to view the Earth's surface at a resolution of 15 metres, and the next satellite, Landsat 8, is scheduled to be launched into orbit in 2005. The satellites are used to provide information for map making, studies of land use, pollution monitoring and mineral prospecting.

The 2010 midterm election was a decisive victory for Republicans. From where they now sit — with a strong majority in the House and a much-improved position in the Senate — they can finally provide an effective counter to the Obama administration. At a minimum, their increased numbers in Congress should put a stop to the hyper-activist period ushered in by President Obama's inauguration. For that alone, many voters will be grateful that the Republicans are back in positions of power and relieved that the recent period of unchecked liberal dominance at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue is over.
But Republicans will need to do more than just block the never-ending Democratic quest for more government. They will need to present their own agenda, especially in the House, and especially with respect to spending — the issue that so animated their supporters throughout 2010.
Republicans will need to weigh the competing risks they now face. Voters returned them to power, but they cannot have forgotten that Republicans controlled Congress for a dozen years not so long ago and participated enthusiastically in several substantial spending increases along the way. The first priority for the new House majority must be to reestablish Republicans' spending-restraint credentials. Republicans need to show the electorate that they have learned their lesson and are willing to implement real cuts in spending.
At the same time, they must go into the budget battles aware that some tactics are more dangerous politically than others. That shouldn't be too hard, since many of them were in Congress the last time their party went from the minority to the majority, in 1995. At that time, Newt Gingrich and House Budget Committee chairman John Kasich pushed through an aggressive balanced-budget plan with deep cuts in domestic spending, including in Medicare and Medicaid.
The problem was not with the substance of their proposal. The Clinton administration launched a predictable barrage of attacks on the budget plan, arguing that devastation would follow if Gingrich got his way, but Republicans were largely able to weather that political storm. Democrats got the upper hand only after Republicans allowed the perception to harden that they were eager to shut down the government just to get their way. As the shutdown lengthened, public pressure built for the government to reopen, and the Republican ranks began to splinter. Eventually, Congress was forced to give in to many of Clinton's spending demands.
Clinton carried the resulting momentum to reelection later in 1996 — and the Republican majority lost its stomach for budget fights. Instead, it overcompensated for its mistakes by avoiding any confrontation whatsoever with the president. The result was a steady stream of spending increases, all approved by a Republican Congress.
To win this time around, Republicans need to convince voters, especially independents, that their plan is one of sensible, pragmatic stewardship of the taxpayers' money, and that the president and his allies in Congress instead are intent on continuing their reckless spending binge. They will have the opportunity to begin drawing that distinction with the 2011 budget. The lame-duck 111th Congress tried to pass a monstrous, bloated, earmark-laden omnibus appropriations measure, just before adjourning, to fund the government through September. Thankfully, some wavering Senate Republicans came to their senses and blocked the effort at the last minute. The result is that the government is now operating under a continuing resolution (CR), which means agencies are operating at their 2010 levels in the early months of fiscal year 2011. The current CR expires in early March.
Instead of writing their own version of a 2,000-page omnibus spending measure — a project that would surely take months, not weeks — House Republicans, working with their counterparts in the Senate, should focus on extending the CR (perhaps with a reduction below 2010 levels) all the way through the fiscal year. That would allow them to demonstrate their commitment to keeping the government open, even as they impose some spending discipline. Obama would be hard pressed to find a compelling rationale to block such an approach. But regardless of what the president does (by either signing or vetoing a full-year CR), House Republicans should make it clear they have no intention of shutting down the government, by passing as many CRs as necessary to keep it running.
#page#True, funding government at current levels is not significant spending restraint, and would not satisfy those in the Tea Party movement who expect much more from the new House and Congress. Republicans will therefore need to assemble right away an ambitious and far-reaching rescissions package that would cut some programs and agencies far below their 2010 funding levels. Here, Republicans should be as aggressive as their numbers allow.
They should start with the low-hanging fruit: reducing the costs of the federal payroll (with hiring and pay freezes), eliminating earmark funding, canceling any remaining funds from the stimulus bill, and defunding public broadcasting. But the Republicans shouldn't stop there. They need to terminate low-value programs and agencies in other parts of the government too, such as job training and education, business subsidies through the Small Business Administration, and certain welfare programs with long track records of failure or mediocrity. These cuts could be coupled with new, enforceable caps on appropriated spending that would lock in the spending cuts over a number of years.
The savings would not be trivial. Cuts of tens of billions of dollars in 2011 are entirely possible, especially given the large run-up in spending since 2008. Deep cuts in appropriations that were implemented this year could save taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars over the coming decade.
No doubt such a package would meet stiff resistance from most Democrats, and certainly from President Obama. But it would also put many Democrats from moderate districts in an uncomfortable position. Voters delivered a stinging rebuke to big-spending Democrats in November: Do those who escaped in 2010 really want to carry the big-spending label into the 2012 election? Republicans could very well find a sizable number of Democrats willing and even eager to work with them on a package of cuts. If that is the case, Republicans should welcome them — indeed they should do whatever can be done, short of abandoning principle, to bring as many as possible on board their effort. The best outcome for Republicans would be a strong bipartisan coalition in support of a significant spending-cut package, with opposition coming only from the most entrenched liberals in Washington, one of whom is Barack Obama.
Cutting back on domestic appropriations won't balance the budget. That will require more far-reaching health-care and entitlement reforms. Later this spring, Rep. Paul Ryan will present a budget plan to the House Budget Committee. Inevitably, that plan will be viewed as the Republican alternative to the Obama budget, and Ryan is likely to push his colleagues to be bold in what they propose. That means repealing Obamacare and replacing it with a reformed Medicare and other measures that promote cost-conscious consumers and a functioning marketplace. It means embracing Social Security reforms that promote personal savings, longer working lives, and less reliance by high-wage workers on government pensions. Endorsing such reforms will carry substantial political risks, but it will also demonstrate that Republicans have a credible plan to bring long-term spending in line with available revenue, which is absolutely necessary to head off fiscal calamity. And there's never been a better time to offer such ideas, since the president's own debt commission has recently recommended Social Security and health-care-entitlement cuts.
First things first: Decisions need to be made about 2011 funding. That presents an opportunity for Republicans. They need to get off on the right foot, and they can do that by demonstrating their commitment to cut appropriated spending right away, even as they also recognize that the battle they are in is a long one — one they will ultimately win only if the public is on their side.

Now I know why people say that!! Last night, we were having our typical hanging out with friends Saturday night. I'm trying harder to not let my phone stay glued to my hand when we have people over or when we're out because...well, manners and all that. But after several fun little signals that I was being messaged, I decided, "hmm...I should see what's up".
So of course, I put manners aside and asked what was up. It turns out, we were nominated for an award! I had seen the nominations were up for Ind'taled's RONE awards. But I had no idea that DANGEROUS LOVE, which Kara and I had released last year, had been nominated in the suspense category. Honestly, I never even thought to check, even though I knew it had been reviewed (so nicely) by the magazine.
It's a long journey to get a book published. Longer than I'd considered. And some days are harder than others so we forget what the original goal was when we're trying to reach the next one. When we started, Kara and I wanted to create a book that people would fall into and enjoy. Knowing it has been nominated for this (something that we didn't know would even happen), surpasses that goal in ways we never imagined.
Fair warning, we'll likely be posting a lot in the next little while as the next round of the award process is public voting. (Voting for our category takes place April 25- May 1st) There are some amazing titles in every category so we have some great competition. But regardless, whatever the outcome, that moment of realizing OUR book was included? Amazing. Definitely an honor just to be nominated.

Structured Observation with Feedback of interaction in Integrated Operations - is a method for IO collaboration training. Collaboration is key to organizational effectiveness, and the SOFIO training method is focused on virtual teams learning together - by doing. IFE (Institute for Energy Technology) in Halden owns the method and has the instructor competence. IFE's SOFIO team is presently deploying the method in 3 IO Centre partner organizations. SOFIO is not only about training, but also a research method for collecting traits of existing successful IO collaboration in order to enhance these traits and make the interacting parties more conscious of what they do right. During a 3-month period 30 remote observations of IO collaboration at the Statoil Hydro Oilfield Brage were made. Many such indicators were collected at Brage. The nature of IO/multi-collaboration is complex and many-faceted, and thus requires a multi-competence approach to understand and resolve collaboration challenges. An important principle of SOFIO is to approach complementary multi- competence organizations with a multi- disciplinary training team, performing complementary observation and coaching.
IO Collaboration is bringing together people with complementary skills, regardless of location, to achieve high performance.
It has been said that the Holy Grail of integrated operations is collaboration.
Bringing a group of people together does not ensure collaboration. As many learned at the beginning of IO, building high tech collaboration rooms and making them available did not automatically fill them with people.
Collaboration rooms were first designed and built based on technical requirements mainly, and as it turned out, they were much less employed by the work force than expected on time of procurement.
Building collaboration roles in work processes and placing people in the same virtual rooms have been an important step, but will (on its own) not ensure collaboration either. We needed something more: IO Collaboration skills and attitudes.
The first version of this method was developed in 2008 at IFE as part of the IO Center research project Future Collaboration Environments. The development was a cross-disciplinary team effort, and the first SOFIO team consisted of Glenn-Egil Torgersen, Asgeir Drøivoldsmo, Magnhild Kaarstad, Grete Rindahl and Helena Broberg.
The idea for the method development rose in discussions with a Statoil IO team on the difficulty of identifying the factors of collaboration meetings that made one meeting successful and others less so. Was it a question of personality? Was it a matter of technology literacy? Or was it something else? And could this be trained?
Method development started in the spring of 2008, and during the period from July till October that year 30 observations of collaboration meetings at the installation Brage (then Hydro, now Statoil) were conducted, developing the method and collecting traits of successful collaboration for the IO Center report "IO Collaboration at Brage".
After this report, which was well received by the IO Center partners, it was decided by the technical committee for Programme 4 of the IO Center that further development of the SOFIO method should be done in bilateral projects (associated projects), whereas the results found should be incorporated into further IO Center financed research on Future Collaboration Environments.
In 2009 the method was further developed by IFE. The first bilateral project using SOFIO as a training method for IO teams was started at GDFSUEZ EPN, in preparing their Pre-operations team for collaboration onshore and offshore for their installation Gjøa. IFE has since built further on this method, and it is presently used in three different partner companies.
SOFIO is oriented towards operators, suppliers, and third parties.
SOFIO provides a practical approach to IO training either in the early phases of an IO organisation or in improving collaboration skills in existing organisations.
SOFIO has a strong focus on enabling the team or organisation to continue self- training and learning in everyday operations.
Raised awareness in the organisation on IO collaboration.
It is possible to do a lot right, and still not get the required investment from the involved staff.
When embarking on the-job-training for work tasks that have not started yet, it may be challenging to create the right mindset and motivation.
Measures taken include identifying pre-ops training elements, and use cases for future operations. Patience is required.
Extroverts are easier to train in an on-the –job setting than introverts. A key element is on the job training with feedback, and there will always be persons in a meeting who do not collaborate actively. This requires encouragement and assistance in building a good arena where people contribute in order to learn. Close collaboration between instructors and the organisation's leadership is very important to achieve this. E.g. In on-the-job training, meeting leaders must first be trained to enable training of the more quiet or passive participants.

Our pets are special members of the family, who show us unconditional love and companionship. I chose to pursue veterinary medicine so I could help people care for their four-legged family members. After completing high school in Toronto, I moved to the beautiful city of Guelph for my undergraduate studies in Animal Biology. As an Aggie, I had the opportunity to volunteer on different types of farms and learn about agriculture in Ontario. After three quick years, I was then accepted to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program and moved across the street to the Ontario Veterinary College campus. Studying veterinary medicine was a dream come true, and I especially enjoyed learning about companion animal primary care and surgical exercises. While at the OVC, I rescued my own feline family member named Summer. In the spring of 2016 I graduated With Distinction, and shortly after, moved to Hamilton to begin the next phase of my veterinary career.
I have been welcomed as the newest member of the team and I can't wait to meet you on your next visit to Martindale Animal Clinic.


Geek, entrepreneur, problem solver, techie. Sr Project Manager at a global organisation and Consultant to tech startups.
Chandra as we call him here has a very cheerful personality. Work wise he is always on top of his game and knows his strengths very well. The characterstic which i like the most about him is that he always has concrete reasoning behind whatever he says/does.
Chandramouli is a perfectionist. He drives the projects with proper understanding about the purpose, impact and priority. He has the sense of managing the resources in a right way for achiving the goals as per the schedule. He has good vision about the management's requirements.
Well what to same about this person... GURU I mean GURU in EXCEL.
He plays EXCEL like Sachin does with cricket ball and the way SRK plays his character in Karan Johar's film.
Good Job and Keep the momentum going.
Chandra or CP as he is known to us, is an extremely resourceful, committed and highly dedicated person I have come across in my professional career. His work is innovative, precise and at highest levels of professionalism and integrity. He has burnt the midnight oil whenever the situation has demanded to ensure the work at hand is completed as per agreed timelines. He is an asset to the organisation.
I enjoy working with Chandra as he is always available, willing to help and has answers and solutions to all our queries.
Since he took the lead of the Quality, Projects and MIS team, I noticed many improvements in the quality and efficiency of the reports and projects.
Thanks to him, my team's daily tasks became much easier and faster.
In addition to his professionalism, Chandra is very friendly with great sense of humor.
I work with Chandra remotely and what positively strikes me is his problem solving abilities, great knowledge of his field and a can-do attitude. He listens to an end-user's needs and finds solutions. He's also a professional and a very friendly prerson to work with.
Truely a leader and a mentor to the core and it was my pleasure and great luck to work for this person.
I have enjoyed all my interactions with Chandra. He is a thinking person with whom you can talk on almost any topic. He is brilliant at Excel. I have learned a lot from him and I'm sure with continued interaction I'll learn a lot more.
Chandramouli is a dedicated and meticulous worker. He works well independently and any deliveries I have had him work on have not needed any micro management. He takes pride and ownership of any and all projects assigned to him. I wish him all the best in any and all of his endeavours.
Chandra is as thorough in his work as I have ever seen from a person in this position. His anticipation capacity to head off any and all potential issues is outstanding with an incredible eye for detail. His skills and knowledge base is as extensive if not more than most. I would therefore recommend to anyone that is contemplating adding him to their team to do so as he would be an incredibly valuable asset/addition to your team.

Meet the Artist – Bernard Hughes, composer
By The Cross-Eyed Pianist | January 24, 2020 June 9, 2022
Bernard Hughes
Who or what inspired you to take up composing, and pursue a career in music?
I started composing of my own accord at about the age of 8, without anyone particularly inspiring me or suggesting I do it. I just started writing things down on bits of manuscript paper lying around the house. I remember making up a key signature which combined sharps and flats and showing it to my father, who said there was no such key signature. I didn't understand why that was, or why I wasn't allowed to make up my own key signature. As to making a career from music, that was never intended. Most people who write music stop at some point, and I just never stopped.
Who or what were the most significant influences on your musical life and career as a composer?
I had an wonderful music teacher called Gwynne Lewis when I was about 10. He didn't especially inspire me to compose, but he communicated a love of music and the joy of being involved in music and I carry that with me. I also learned a lot about commitment and integrity from the composer Param Vir. Apart from my teachers the inspiration above all has been Igor Stravinsky. I didn't discover his music until the shockingly late age of 16 or 17, but once I heard the Rite of Spring I never looked back in my devotion to his music. First hearing the Symphony of Psalms was an unforgettable experience.
What have been the greatest challenges of your career so far?
As with all composers, the challenge is to have your music heard. In this I have been pretty lucky, but every composer wants more and higher profile performances and commissions.
What are the special challenges/pleasures of working on a commissioned piece?
Having a particular occasion or performed in mind can really help to shape a piece. When the requirements of the commission and you are aligned it is really fun: writing my narrator-and-orchestra piece 'Not Now, Bernard' was one such – I realised it was a story I loved to tell, and that the music could add to.
What are the special challenges/pleasures of working with particular musicians, singers, ensembles and orchestras?
I've been lucky to work quite often with the BBC Singers over many years, including on an album of my music released in 2016. The fun of writing for them is also the danger – they can sing anything and make it sound good, but if you push the boat out too far no one else will ever sing it.
How would you characterise your compositional language?
My musical language changes with each piece I write, so I don't have a personal style as such – although I am sure there are recurring tricks if you look for them. Writing a piece is finding a solution to a problem, and when the initial restrictions vary, so does the end result. But when I write a piece like 'Not Now, Bernard', which is very tuneful and 'accessible', I don't think of it as any less a 'proper piece' than my more avant-garde pieces – they are all aspects of my compositional voice.
As a composer, how do you work?
On a practical level I move between the keyboard, handwritten music notation and the computer. They each have their role within the process – although often first ideas come when I'm on my feet, either walking round my neighbourhood or in the shower. I like the handwritten element because you can trace your ideas back archaeologically if you change your mind. But I also love the opportunity the computer offers to check things like pacing, and complex harmony that is beyond my fingers.
Which works are you most proud of?
It would have to be the two large-scale pieces written for the BBC Singers. 'The Death of Balder' in particular, is an original conception – a 'radio opera' for choir on a Norse myth – and I am happy with how it turned out, after a great deal of uncertainty while composing it. I also had the opportunity to write an orchestral piece in 2012 called 'Anaphora' which again caused me a lot of grief in the creation but which I am in retrospect very proud of.
Who are your favourite musicians/composers?
As mentioned above, I am a huge Stravinsky fan, and always will be. Of contemporary composers, I really love Judith Weir's music – she is also an extremely kind and generous person and it was a pleasure working with her on my album Not Now, Bernard and Other Stories, which features the premiere recording of her piece 'Thread!' alongside my own music. My current enthusiasm is for a French composer called Guillaume Connesson, who is very little known in this country but I think is brilliant and deserves much wider programming.
What is your most memorable concert experience?
I was lucky enough, as a child living in Berlin in the 1980s, to be taken to hear the Berlin Philharmonic a few times. The two occasions I particularly remember were hearing Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto and – the first time I went – Mozart's Piano Concerto no 21. I was about 10 and both completely blew me away, just the sound of the orchestra, and I still love both pieces. I also remember, at one of those concerts, the second half being a Shostakovich symphony, which I hated; Shostakovich symphonies still don't do it for me.
What advice would you give to aspiring musicians and composers?
I think it is a responsibility of composers to listen widely, and to music that is not necessarily instantly amenable. I think too many people, young people in particular, are too narrow in their range of listening. In one sense there is no excuse for not listening widely – my excuse as a youngster was that it was difficult to access music, apart from Radio 3 and my local library's cassette collection. But the flip side is that there is so much music available now that it can be difficult to wade through it all. But it is important for composers to have open ears.

Der Bezirk Gänserndorf ist ein Verwaltungsbezirk des Landes  Niederösterreich.

Geschichte

Der ursprünglich Unter-Gänserndorf genannte Bezirk entstand 1901 aus den Gerichtsbezirken Matzen und Marchegg (vorher Bezirk Floridsdorf) und Zistersdorf (vorher Bezirk Mistelbach). Bei der Bildung von Groß-Wien wurde der Bezirk um Gemeinden des dabei aufgelösten Bezirks Floridsdorf-Umgebung vergrößert.

1957 wurde er noch einmal um Randgemeinden zu Wien (insbesondere die Stadt Groß-Enzersdorf) vergrößert, die nach der Auflösung Groß-Wiens wieder zu Niederösterreich gekommen waren und zwischenzeitlich zum Bezirk Wien-Umgebung gehört hatten.

Im Zuge der Auflösung des Bezirks Wien-Umgebung mit 31. Dezember 2016 war vorgesehen, die Stadt Gerasdorf bei Wien dem Bezirk Gänserndorf zuzuschlagen, dies wurde allerdings bei einer von der Stadt organisierten Online-Bürgerbefragung abgelehnt. Mit der Änderung der ursprünglich vorgesehenen Grenzziehungen wurde dieses Ergebnis vom Landtag nachvollzogen.

Geografie

Der Bezirk liegt östlich von Wien an der slowakischen Grenze und umfasst  km². Er bildet den östlichen Teil des Weinviertels und ist auch in der Raumplanung der Hauptregion Weinviertel zugeordnet. Einen großen Teil der Bezirksfläche macht das Marchfeld aus, das vollständig im Bezirk liegt. Die Landschaft ist überwiegend flach, Hügel sind vor allem nördlich von Gänserndorf zu finden. Ein weiteres Landschaftselement sind die Auen der Donau und der March, die den Bezirk im Süden und im Osten begrenzen. An seiner nordöstlichen Ecke grenzt der Bezirk auch an Tschechien.

Nachbarbezirke

Angehörige Gemeinden
Zum Bezirk Gänserndorf gehören 44 Gemeinden, darunter 5 Städte und 26 Marktgemeinden.

It's a Good Life
Jerome Bixby
Jerome Bixby was one of those reliable, unremarkable mid-listers the field used to support in decades past. In general, his work was a decent way to pass a half hour but not often memorable. "It's a Good Life" is the exception, selected for the Hall of Fame, adapted to TV and the silver screen and referenced in a number of other works. Of course, the story's heyday was in the distant past, in a now half-forgotten era of slide-rules and black & white television. How will it read to my Young Readers?
I can see why this was made into an episode of The Twilight Zone as it practically reads like a script from the show. Maybe I need to watch the episode again to better connect with this story, because it definitely doesn't seem like "one of the twenty finest science fiction stories every written" to me. Oh, it's a fine story. It's perfectly good, which I guess I better say or Anthony will think me into a grave out in the cornfield (which surely would've happened anyway had I been a resident of Peaksville). Apparently the Twilight Zone episode originally aired on my birthday, so that's kind of spooky. I don't know. I feel like I should like this story a lot more than I did. People seem sort of all out amazed by it, but it just didn't strike me that way.
I think for me this story suffers from being too familiar. Nothing in it particularly surprised me, and after a while the descriptions of all the different ways of placating or working around Anthony got a bit tedious.
The plot device of nobody being able to think about what they really thought about the situation made it difficult for me to connect to the characters. We get told a lot about the situation that they're living in, but I felt very distant from the characters, and didn't particularly care about any of them.
However, I did like how Anthony was established. I liked the scene where Anthony is trying to build a nice place for the animals to live, as it really helped to show that for the most part Anthony isn't being intentionally malicious, he just doesn't understand why what he's doing is harmful.
I think this story is fine, but probably would have been more interesting if I wasn't as familiar with the types of ideas behind it, or if it there had been more focus on the characters.
This story was alright, but I was hoping for a better payoff. It just kind of chugged along until it ended. There was certainly a sense of dread throughout, and helplessness. This one kind of reminded me of "That Only a Mother" by Judith Merril which we reviewed early on in this series.
I wondered for most of it if anyone had ever tried having a careful conversation with Anthony. Perhaps aunt Amy, but if she did I guess it ended up with Anthony zapping her. Then at the end we discover Anthony is only three years old, so maybe not quite up to learning about concepts like free will and murder. Maybe in a few years.
That this was adapted into a Twilight Zone episode doesn't surprise me at all. It definitely fits the depressing, dully horrifying tone of many episodes.
"It's a Good Life" is presented as a creepy story from 1953 - unsettling at the time for its lampooning of an idyllic post-war life that is anything but. In a way, the story is silly to a young reader of today. But at the same time, it's metaphorically creepy. Anthony has omnipotent reality-warping powers: the story is like the ultimate all-empowering lie told to post-industrial Millennials in real life. You can do anything. You can be anything you want. Live out your dreams. But Anthony's dreams are disturbing. Being Anthony is the idyllic heaven of ultimate control over your world. Being in Anthony's world is hell. And that is the ultimate nightmare of growing up: that we are secondary/tertiary/background characters in other people's stories. David Copperfield says "Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show." Anthony refuses to let his life unfold (literally and metaphorically), making himself into a lonesome horror. Since the writing style was from the point of view of Anthony, it was almost too vague for my taste. I know the horror is supposed to come from not describing things in exact detail - the reader's imagination is probably worse than the real visuals of the episode of Twilight Zone. (*Note: I did not watch the TV show or the movie based on this story.) But it's just so vague as to be unthreatening. Perhaps he was turned inside out with his organs squelching in vain? Perhaps he was turned into a monster with proportions as drawn by a child? Or perhaps he was turned into a monstrous mass of animals mashed into a single creature?Overall, the story was good enough … but underwhelming. Perhaps this story is better told with visuals and sound than in words. Perhaps it doesn't hold any nostalgic fear for me: the introduction claims it has "so thoroughly penetrated the pop culture Zeitgeist but I'm not sure it has for me, having watched none of the
media listed on the Wikipedia page for the story or for the Twilight Zone episode. Is this the originator of the creepy super-powered child trope?
