The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced their Record of Decision (ROD) for segments 1 through 7 and segment 10 in November 2013, deferring the decision on segments 8 and 9. The BLM released its initial ROD for segments 8 and 9 on January 19, 2017.
On April 17, 2017, the Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA) remanded the January ROD back to the BLM Idaho State Office for reconsideration of the route alternatives. The BLM published a notice of intent to prepare an EA for segments 8 and 9 on August 28, 2017, beginning a 30-day scoping period. The Fiscal Year 2017 Consolidated Appropriations Act, signed into law May 5, 2017, included provisions from House Resolution 2104 to route the Gateway West transmission line through the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area (NCA). As a result, the EA addressed only those alternatives from the supplemental EIS that feasibly connect with the route specified in HR 2104. The BLM released the Decision Record for segments 8 and 9 on April 18, 2018. For more information on the EA process, visit the BLM project website.
The companies are bound to the agency's preferred routes, but only on federally-managed land. On privately owned land, the companies have more flexibility for transmission line siting within the study corridor. The companies will continue to work with individual landowners on "micro-siting" of the transmission line and have more detailed discussions as the design progresses.
The routes shown in this map reflect the BLM's authorized routes identified in the November 2013 ROD for segments 1 through 7 and 10, as well as the 2018 Decision Record for segments 8 and 9.
BLM authorized routes
The BLM's authorized routes for all segments 1 through 10 are:
Segment 1W(a) - Companies' proposed route. The companies will pursue permitting only one new 230 kV line for Segment 1W(a) and reconstruction of the existing line for Segment 1W(c).
Segment 1W(c) - Proposed Route. The companies will pursue permitting only one new 230 kV line for Segment 1W(a) and reconstruction of the existing line for Segment 1W(c).
Segment 2 - Companies' proposed route including the substitution of Alternative 2C as part of the Rocky Mountain Power and Idaho Power's revised Proposed Route.
Segment 3 - Companies' proposed route.
Segment 4 - Companies' proposed route including the substitution of Alternative 4A as part of the Rocky Mountain Power and Idaho Power's revised Proposed Route.
Segment 5 - Companies' proposed route and Alternative 5B. The BLM also supports Alternative 5E as part of its authorized route assuming Western Electricity Coordinating Council reliability issues are resolved.
Segment 6 - Upgrade the existing line voltage from 345 kV to 500 kV (no additional new line construction is required).
Segment 7 - Companies' proposed route and Alternatives 7B, 7C, 7D, and 7G.The companies' proposed route in the East Hills and Alternative 7G will be micro-sited to avoid Idaho's Preliminary Priority Sage-grouse Habitat (PPH).
Segment 8 - Companies' proposed route (Alternative 1) in the 2016 Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
Segment 10 - Companies' proposed route.
Route development history
All proposed, alternate and other routes analyzed in the draft and final EISs were developed with extensive study and planning and factored in input from state, local and federal agencies as well as private landowners. The companies developed initial routes through the following steps:
Established overall goals for routes
Evaluated opportunities and constraints using geographic information systems (GIS), field studies, and input from agencies and community leaders
Presented preliminary routes to the public during BLM scoping meetings held in June 2008 as well as company led landowner meetings between 2008 and 2009
Following scoping information, public comments and additional route analysis, the BLM determined which alternatives to carry forward for detailed analysis in the draft EIS, which contained rationale for alternative routes not analyzed in detail. The final EIS fully analyzes the BLM's preferred alternatives. A final decision on routing on public land for the project in segments 1 through 7 and segment 10 was announced by the BLM in the November 2013 ROD. A draft supplemental EIS for segments 8 and 9 was released March 11, 2016, and the final supplemental EIS was published on October 7, 2016. The BLM released its ROD for segments 8 and 9 on January 19, 2017. IBLA remanded the January 2017 ROD back to the BLM Idaho State Office in April 2017 for reconsideration. The BLM issued the final Decision Record for segments 8 and 9 on April 18, 2018.
Field studies and land surveys
Idaho Power and Rocky Mountain Power continue to conduct studies and surveys to better understand conditions along the various corridors. . The companies' contractors are conducting land surveys, documented cultural and environmental conditions and collected soil borings. Information collected in these surveys helped inform the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) EIS and will continue to inform the design and engineering of the project.
Please note that permission to enter private property for surveying and information gathering does not constitute a grant of future easement or that a transmission line will be constructed across the property, it is simply an allowance to conduct the studies. These studies do not mean a decision has been made on where to locate the transmission line.

MBA Trust Ball 2015 Announced (Link)
It's come around again.
We are once again hosting a Black-tie Fundraiser on the 28th February 2015 to generate some support for this year's chosen charities. We will shortly have venue information and the chosen charity details.
The last event was a huge success and we hope to build on that to ensure another excellent night.
Tickets cost €75.00 per seat or €750.00 for a corporate table. Tickets can be purchased here soon.
The MBA Charitable Trust
A new charitable trust to offer free advice to charities and social enterprises is being launched by graduates of the UCC Executive MBA.
The aims of the trust are to harness the knowledge and experience of the MBA alumni business network to support not for profit organisations develop their resources and capabilities and become more sustainable
'In the current economic climate we want to share the expertise we gained through the MBA to help chart a sustainable future for charitable organisations in this region', said Ger O'Leary who chairs the new trust.
The trust will be officially launched through a Blacktie Ball on February 23, the proceeds of which will go to Good Shepherd Services and Cope Foundation.
To coincide with UCC's Executive MBA programme cycle, it is planned to hold the Blacktie Ball on a biennial basis and it is hoped that the Ball will become a focus for Alumni reunions and also business networking opportunity.
Dr Joan Buckley who directs the UCC Executive MBA is pledging the support of the programme to the trust. She said 'it is really impressive that our MBA alumni are committing themselves and their expertise to help charitable bodies, especially as most of those groups are really feeling the pressure of the current recession'
Two Cork based companies BAM Construction and Keanes Jewellers are also getting involved by sponsoring the Blacktie Ball. Greater detail on the trust and its plans to extend its resources and expertise base to meet the needs of charities will be announced at the ball.
Inaugural MBA Trust Ball
The inaugural MBA Trust Ball was held in the Radisson Hotel last Saturday with 250 people in attendance. The trust was launched by graduates of the UCC Executive MBA and it offers free business advice to charities and social enterprises. "The Ball was an outstanding success, everyone really enjoyed themselves, we got great engagement from the MBA network and we managed to raise much needed funds for our chosen charities" said Mark Fox who is a director of the MBA Trust.
The CEO of Bernardos Fergus Finlay who was the key note speaker at the event said he applauded the UCC Exec MBA class on their unique and very positive initiative which would be welcomed by all those in the charitable sector who were now required to do so much more with less.
The ball was sponsored by Bam Construction and Keanes Jewellers and proceeds of the ball are going to Cope Foundation and Good Shepherd Services. On the night people were greeted to a champagne reception sponsored by Lidl. Entertainment was provided by impressionist and comedian Oliver Callan as well as live music from 'The Loungeman' and 'Collage'.
To coincide with UCC's Executive MBA programme cycle, it is planned to hold the Blacktie Ball on a biennial basis and it is hoped that along with the Ball being a platform for the MBA trust, it will become a focus for Alumni reunions and also a business networking opportunity.
The initiative is largely run by MBA graduates but welcomes assistance and support from anyone who feels they can contribute their expertise and experience to benefit charities and social enterprises. Further details are available here.

Quite a few research have shown that if you test university students just a few months soon after they have completed a course, they will have forgotten most of the facts they had learned, even if they passed the final exam with flying colors. But that does not imply the course wasn't a success. The human brain adapts to intellectual challenges by forging and strengthening new neural pathways, and these new pathways remain lengthy following the facts" employed to develop them have faded away. The information fade, but the skills remain.
FFVI came out a year following photo-surrealistic MYST was released: but then MYST was fundamentally a glorified (and marvelous) slideshow stitched with each other, whereas RPGs like Final Fantasy have been undertaking factors realtime. This is why pre-rendered FMVs appear so considerably greater than in-game graphics. But FFVI hadn't gone the pre-rendered route however (at least, prior to the 2007 Final Fantasy VI: Game Boy Advance Remake).

There are a lot of individuals who want to believe that computer science ability is some sort of innate talent. That either you have a specific brain that can manage it or you never. Teachers want to think in it so that when students struggle they can blame something other than their teaching. Students want to think it so they never have to operate at something that could not be coming effortlessly. And men and women who are great at creating software program want to believe that they are somehow far more special than other individuals.

As of now I have narrowed down my options to the asus zenbook pro ux501 and one of the surface pro three models. I like that the ux501 is potent and reasonably priced at $1500 for the specs that it has, but I also want a laptop that is far more transportable for use in class. This os what makes the surface pro 3 so appealing. If I had to pick a single, I would go with the surface since of its versatility, but I also want to make positive that I will have a device that is strong sufficient to run applications so that I can use it anywhere and not have to rely on utilizing lab computers. I will be a civil engineering student if that has any impact on your response.
Can understandings about AI contribute to understandings about human intelligence? This seems to be the case, but that doesn't mean it is the best feasible model. The things that computer systems do quite simply are issues that the human thoughts often finds tough and vice versa. Surely inasmuch as they purposely imitate what we know about biological brains (with neural networks and the like) they can resemble biological processes. But that doesn't imply they are fundamentally similar. Much like constructing a robotic horse does not make the horse any much more of a machine. There might be some crossover understanding, like the movement and help of limbs, but it still ignores what it fundamentally implies to be a horse and would be dependent on the actual study of horses to be applicable.

Protection Direct Launches New World-Class Customer Service Platform
Platform will transform the service contract industry and create a better overall customer experience
St. Louis, MO July 2, 2008 – Protection Direct, one of the leading independent brokers of vehicle service contracts, has announced today that it is launching a new customer service platform that it hopes will transform the vehicle service contract industry.
The new platform will be launched over the next six months and will include various initiatives intended to create a better overall customer experience. This includes: 1) increasing the transparency of the company, including its marketing materials and coverage plans, 2) enhancing and expanding the company's portfolio of hassle-free services, and 3) offering new ways to save customers money by pairing them with coverage plans that are tailored to their specific needs.
"We are confident this initiative will not only strengthen our new and existing customer relationships, but will also disrupt the status quo in our industry," said Geof Reusch, Chief Operating Officer of Protection Direct. "Our new philosophy is clear and simple; help our customers get involved with plans that are tailored to their needs and keep them as a partner for the long term."
Brokers of vehicle service contracts have recently come under attack for over-promising and, in some cases, failing to fulfill their commitments to customers. In fact, these concerns led the Missouri Attorney General to take action against the industry.
"The industry, as a whole, has failed to live up to the standards its customers deserve," said Reusch. "We have heard from our customers and are prepared to lead the way in changing our business and transforming our industry. Our customers deserve hassle-free products and services that will help them save time and money; and that's exactly what we intend on delivering."

Sir Richard Branson's empire has bought a controlling stake in an NHS walk-in centre operator.
The tycoon's Virgin Group bought a 75.1 per cent holding in the medical division of Assura Group, which is one of the largest owners of doctors' surgeries in the UK and also runs pharmacies within clinics.
Assura operates 30 so-called GPCos, which provide healthcare in partnership with groups of GPs. They represent associations with more than 1,500 GPs, employ around 150 staff and provide services to more than three million patients in England.
The GPCos bid for NHS contracts to provide services that include 8am to 8pm GP-led walk-in centres, sexual health clinics and other outpatient care, diagnostic procedures and day care surgery.
Assura said the services offer choice to patients, are often outside normal working hours and are operated with "strict quality assurance mechanisms".
The deal involved Virgin paying £4m for its majority stake to Assura, which then loaned £4m back to the business in exchange for a 24.9 per cent share of the new venture.
Assura said it would now be able to focus on its core property and pharmacy activities, which are not included in the sale.
The group's chief executive, Richard Burrell, who will join the board of Virgin Healthcare, said the deal would enable its medical business to receive the level of funding it needs to continue growing.

Carl Lewis still amazed by Bolt's Olympic show
AP, DENVER, COLORADO
Wed, Jul 27, 2011 - Page 19
No use asking Carl Lewis to make bold predictions about what Usain Bolt might do at the next Olympics. The nine-time gold medalist is still having trouble processing what the Jamaican sprinter did at the last one.
"A lot of people's breath has been taken away," Lewis said on Monday. "I'm still coming to grips with that."
As to the question of who in the US might challenge Bolt in London next year — Lewis takes the vaguely optimistic view.
"My main focus is saying: 'Hey, we always have to think someone will come up,'" Lewis said.
Even 15 years after leaving the sport, Lewis remains the US' iconic figure in a track world that grew increasingly troubled after his departure.
By setting the 100m record three times in the span of 15 months in 2008 and 2009 — lowering it from 9.74 seconds to 9.58 — Bolt has redefined the sport's landscape.
"Really kind of bizarre," Lewis described the rapid lowering of the world record. "It's hard to follow what's going on. Kind of crazy the way the sport's become."
Instead of focusing on that, Lewis is busy running for the state legislature in New Jersey, where his candidacy is being challenged in the courts because of the state's four-year residency requirement. He keeps his hand in track, mainly trying to influence the younger side of the sport.
He's working for the Hershey's Track and Field Games, a 34-year-old program that draws millions of kids into track and field. The North American Final meet takes place on Aug. 6 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
"It's why I deal with youth — there are no issues, no drama," he said. "All the drama is whether you win or not, and 10 minutes later, whether you did or not, you go get your chocolate."
If only things were that simple at the elite level.
In the aftermath of the 2008 Olympics, in which the US track and field team won only 23 medals, Lewis was asked to be part of a task force that explored what went wrong.
The Project 30 report — named as such because of a goal set by former USA Track and Field (USATF) chief executive Doug Logan to win 30 medals at the London Olympics — identified a number of structural flaws inside the team.
With the Olympics starting a year from today, Lewis isn't completely convinced all the issues have been straightened out.
"The reality is that we're talking about 30 medals and we still haven't figured out how to pass the baton" in relays, he said. "The last two championships, the men have not passed the baton. That's a huge problem. We had two gold medals that were guaranteed all the time and now we can't get a medal, period."
Faulty passes cost the men medals in the 400m relay at both the 2008 Olympics and the 2009 worlds. The women dropped the baton in 2008 and didn't finish in 2009 when Muna Lee pulled up with a hamstring injury.
USATF are making changes this year, requiring relay sprinters to participate in three training camps and at least two races in the lead-up to world championships. How the US fare in South Korea next month will play a big role in shaping the strategy for the Olympics next year.

The Chautauqua Pavilion is an octagonal pavilion located in Chautauqua Park in Hastings, Nebraska. The pavilion was constructed in 1907 for summer Chautauqua assemblies in Hastings. According to the Historic American Engineering Record, the pavilion's design is unique; in fact, the HAER does not have a name for certain design elements used in the pavilion. The building's pyramidal roof is supported by columns along the pavilion's perimeter; a triangular truss atop the columns acts as the pavilion's superstructure. A vent at the top of the roof is supported by a Howe truss. A stage and orchestra pit are located inside the pavilion, though the majority of the space inside the pavilion is open, allowing a variety of activities to be held there. The Hastings chapter of the Chautauqua movement held independent assemblies at the pavilion until 1913, when it merged with the national movement. Hastings continued to host Chautauqua events until the 1920s, when the movement declined due to the rise of film and radio.

The pavilion was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 19, 1978.

You are here: Home / Australia Coral Bleaching
During reef walking activities, Heron Island visitors participate in monitoring coral bleaching. Brad Cox
Coral bleaching is already responsible for killing more than 16% of the world's coral reefs. Marine biologists believe that if these bleaching events continue, the spectacular undersea gardens of the Great Barrier Reef and the rest of the world will likely be destroyed within three decades.
To save these natural wonders, scientists must understand why bleaching occurs, a phenomenon believed to be linked to global warming. The Great Barrier Reef alone is more than 2,000 kilometers or 1,250 miles in length, and there are tens of thousands of square kilometers of reef on the planet. To gather essential data over such a vast area, scientists are turning to tourists for help.
Healthy staghorn coral are brown while a bleached white color indicates coral starvation. Justin Marshall
The hard skeleton of coral is built by a community of animals related to jellyfish, coral polyps. The secret to their huge success in the world's warm oceans comes from small plants or algae that each polyp houses within its own body tissue. While these plants provide food for the coral, almost like a self-contained farm or garden, the coral polyp protects the garden from hungry mouths outside. Coral color variations come largely from the number of algae contained within the body of the polyp. Seemingly triggered by unusually warm sea temperatures, loss of coral color results from a breakdown in the relationship between coral and plant during which the algal tenants are evicted.
The tenants are not rejected forever, gardens are re-grown and new algae taken in, but loss of nutrition for the coral polyps takes its toll. About 16% of the world's reefs died after the 1998 bleach. Some coral fully recovered; however, much was in such an exhausted state that the annual breeding cycle was disrupted. The effect of the 2002 bleach is still being assessed, with monitoring the bleach and recovery of coral on even a small reef presenting a huge time-consuming task. What is needed is a quick, but also scientifically sound method of assessment.
At times, bleached coral reefs are alarmingly visible on Heron Reef. Justin Marshall
Sunshades and Hoses: A Solution?
Speaking at an Ecotourism Australia Conference in late 2006, Andrew Skeat, executive director of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, unveiled a proposal that involves watering the ocean surface at peak heat times to avoid coral bleaching, which is caused by higher than average water temperatures linked with global climate change. Under the proposal, a fine spray of seawater will be pumped onto the reef to break up the ocean water, cooling the corals.
A tourism working group established in 2004 to prepare for climate change on the reef found the proposal is effective in reducing radiation and coral bleaching. It also considered permanently placing sunshades over some areas of the reef. The sunshade, currently being developed in Queensland, would be held in place by floating pontoons, according to marine researchers.
On Queensland's Heron Island, a tropical coral cay at the Great Barrier Reef's southern end, scientists have recorded an increased frequency in bleaching events, with major occurrences in 1998 and 2002 and minor events as recently as July 2003. Compelled by the urgency of these events, Associate Professor Justin Marshall of Queensland University and his research team have developed a color chart that allows coral health to be quickly and easily calculated by comparing the chart to the living organism. This breakthrough has made it possible even for untrained observers to assist in this vital research.
Aerial view of Heron Island. Brad Cox
Printed on waterproof plastic, the chart illustrates a scale of shades from the darkest through to white. Each shade represents the number of organisms alive in the coral, thereby indicating its current health. Matching the data to sea temperature fluctuations and other stresses, scientifically validates the cause of bleaching on reef systems worldwide.
To augment the small scientific team, thousands of visitors who go out to the reefs every day to snorkel, dive and walk around have joined the monitoring army, making color matches and recording codes. At the Heron Island research station alone, swarms of tourists take guided tours each day to learn about preservation of the coral cay, with many asking researchers, "What can I do to help?"
The Coral Health Chart has provided a simple, effective answer. Some tourists make only a few recordings, others fill a data sheet and ask for another. All the codes they record are either entered into the database on the web site, www.coralwatch.org, by the tourists themselves or delivered to the research team who plug them into the computer database, constantly enriching the quality of information they now have on coral health.
Coral Watch's Health Monitoring Chart makes it easy to match and report on coral health around the reef. Brad Cox
Dr. Marshall knows that measuring the health of the coral is not going to immediately stop coral bleaching. The facts indicate that to have a real chance of saving the world's reefs, countries around the world must decide to do something about humankind's acceleration of global warming.
Recognizing that it is only by changing consumption patterns that global warming and coral bleaching can be controlled, Justin Marshall is encouraged that the Coral Watch program is raising awareness and demonstrating that individual contributions to saving the environment can make a difference. The research team is now looking at expanding their program to other islands along the Great Barrier Reef. He will be counting on many more volunteer vacationers to be part of that new initiative.
Coral Watch Program
Visitor enthusiasm has led Voyages Hotels & Resorts, as owners of the Heron Island Resort, to offer a Coral Health Reef Walk to their activities program. As awareness grows, so does visitor interest, with activities officers reporting that the first question asked by 90% of resort guests is about coral bleaching. All guides are trained marine biologists so they are able to field most questions thrown their way!
Heron Island Resort has been supporting the Coral Watch program for several years, raising the project's profile through its popular educational Reef Walks and encouraging guests to donate a little of their holiday time to monitor coral health during their resort stay.
"About 20% of our guests enjoy being formally involved in such a worthwhile project," says Resort General Manager, Alistair Cooray. "Volunteers are usually already environmentally aware, often older guests who seem to bring to the documentation task an equal measure of patience and excellent observational skills when they are out on their reef walks. Heron Island Resort is uniquely positioned to understand and appreciate the special environment we live in, and we are delighted to be involved in important research that will hopefully ensure the reef is still healthy many years from now."
Brad Cox is Communications Manager, Co-operative Research Centre for Sustainable Tourism, Queensland, Australia, email: brad@crctourism.com.au. The Centre is funding a project to take the research team's valuable coral health findings to international destinations.

Student Athlete: Frank Shaffer
by: Chase Evans
Posted: Mar 14, 2019 / 11:04 PM EDT / Updated: Apr 20, 2019 / 08:10 PM EDT
The Sharon boys basketball team is marching on to the State Quarterfinals this Saturday and senior Frank Shaffer is a big reason for that success.
He's a do-it-all athlete for the Tigers, in not only basketball but also football and baseball. Plus, he's a straight-A student and now our "33 Student Athlete of the Week".
"Everything I do, I do to the max," said Shaffer. "It all comes from that competitive edge that I was really born into."
Competing is in Frank Shaffer's blood. After all, he's the youngest of five siblings and grew up with over 30 cousins. Needless to say, all the weekend battles shaped Frank into the tough athlete he is today.
"I mean I had to lose over and over again until now," said Shaffer. "I wish I could play them now because I feel like I could take them now, but you should want to win in everything you do and by all means necessary."
And Frank has done plenty of winning in his time at Sharon. Last season, the Tigers won their second straight District 10 Basketball Title and made it all the way to the State Championship game in Hershey.
Frank is a four-year letter-winner and senior captain on this year's team.
He's also a beast on the gridiron at tight end and defense, helping Sharon advance to the Western Final each of the past two seasons. Plus, in the spring Frank is a pitcher and infielder on the baseball team.
"People like to call me an old man because I play all three sports," joked Shaffer. "I'm not great at any of them per say but I started three sports for three years and now I know what it takes in each game and every practice."
Frank is just as versatile and talented in the classroom with a 4.0 GPA. He's attending the University of Akron next year to study Pre Medicine in hopes of becoming a Family Doctor one day.
"My grades are everything. It's not all about getting a one hundred percent in any easy class. I like to be able to challenge myself so then I actually understand something."

I'm playing around more with a storybook style and it's been a lot of fun. I'm going to stick with it for a while and see what happens. This is to be used for Hire An Illustrator's site background through October.


It's official and its real. Ludlow now has decent buses. As one Ludlow resident said to me moments ago: "It's beautiful." I agree.
Today and tomorrow, Minsterley Motors is running an hourly 701 service around Ludlow with a brand new Optare. From Wednesday we are promised a half-hourly service.
That is simply not correct. R&B gave legal notice of cancelling the 722 service on 27 November and the 701 on 11 December. It is unfair for Shropshire Council to blame the operator or the Traffic Commissioners for its own inefficiency.
Please note that the bus no longer serves Old Street. Many people are used to using the bus as a sort of ski lift, to get from the bottom of the hill to the top. Sorry, they can't do that anymore. The bus also goes around Steventon the other way from previously. It serves Weeping Cross, Temeside then Steventon New Road.
A reminder of the way buses were!

Reba McEntire: The Deep Cuts
MCA Records
ListsMusic
Gabe Crawford
Being from Oklahoma, Reba McEntire's music is almost a daily occurrence for me. I've been a McEntire fan for most of my life. My mom bought one of her concerts on VHS when I was six and I've been smitten with her music ever since. I listened to everything I could get a hold of and now I own every album she's ever recorded. I'm not obsessed; I just have a deep respect.
Each McEntire album is a meticulous painting. Some are blue while others are red hot. Each is carefully curated, especially after she signed with MCA and took musical control of her career. She is known for her 26 Billboard No. 1 hits but there are so many hidden gems within these records.
These are the songs that I consider to be some of her best deep cuts. This list is not comprehensive nor is it any order. These tracks stand the test of time and are a small testament to McEntire's timeless career.
"Indelibly Blue" (1981)
McEntire was beginning to make an impact on the charts by the time this song was released on her forth album Heart to Heart. One single from this album, "Today All Over Again," had climbed the charts up to No. 5. Also on that album is "Indelibly Blue." The opening track is a heart-wrenching ballad of loneliness with steel guitar tear drops. In that, her vocals are confident as if she knew she was on the verge of superstardom.
"I'll Believe It When I Feel It" (1986)
By the time the Oklahoma native graced us with this tune, she already had several No. 1 singles. "I'll Believe It When I Feel It" appears on her Whoever's in New England album. It's another steady tempo country ballad but you can really feel McEntire's vocals starting to soar with emotion. It's powerful.
"If I Had Only Known" (1991)
This song appears on the album For My Broken Heart. One of the most poignant albums in McEntire's catalog, this was her release after many of her touring band members died in an airplane accident. This song is McEntire's track for them. "If I Had Only Known" is the last track on the album and doesn't have the big production that had been prominent on her other songs. She's backed by a piano and simple string arrangement. Although there was a video for the song, it was never released as a single.
"I Won't Mention it Again" (1995)
In 1995, McEntire released her first album of covers, Starting Over. There are many classic country gems on this disc but my heart has always melted at "I Won't Mention It Again." The way she captures the emotion of being content in rejection has always baffled me. This one will bring you to tears as you slowly reach for a shot of whiskey.
"Face to Face" (Duet with Linda Davis) (1998)
McEntire took a big risk in 1993 when she released a duet with her then-unknown background singer, Linda Davis. The risk was a smart one as "Does He Love You" went number one and won a Grammy. Fast forward to 1998, with a fresh new haircut, she released her album If You See Him. On this album is another duet with Davis and it's almost a sequel to their first duet. "Face to Face" has more rational thinking, though.
"Back Before the War" (1999)
Nobody has ever captured the heartbreak of divorce quite like McEntire. With hits like "Somebody Should Leave" and "Ring on Her Finger, Time On Her Hands," she always plays the strong and persevering part. This song takes that same element and breaks it down further, down to where the pen signs the papers. "Back Before the War" has a solemn arrangement with a solid country heartache foundation. Grab a tissue for this one.
"It Just Has to Be This Way" (Duet with Vince Gill) (2003)
Somehow, this song completely flew under the radar. It should have been a single. "It Just Has To Be This Way" is another duet between McEntire and Vince Gill but, this time, it's a different circumstance. While they weren't able to denounce their love in "The Heart Won't Lie," now they are confessing that amidst their best efforts, it's not going to work. This is the last track off of McEntire's 2003 album, Room to Breathe. Their voices flawlessly melt together in one and, really, you can't go wrong bringing these two legends together.
"I'll Have What She's Having" (2009)
This one is from the 2009 album, Keep on Loving You. Although released in the late 2000s, "I'll Have What She's Having" places McEntire firmly in her classic country roots. It is pure honky-tonk country. Your feet can't help but two step. The song's clever lyrics mixed with McEntire's wit make it easy to hit repeat.
"Cry" (2010)
"Cry" from 2010's All the Women I Am places McEntire in the role she has perfected. It is hauntingly reminiscent of her 80s and 90s material and is another gut-wrenching ballad. Again she's tough, she's jilted but she's a survivor. This ballad speaks for itself as her vocals go from somber heartbreak to frustrated anger. There's nothing new to see here but this track shows McEntire's solid, irresistible vocal craftsmanship that country music just can't get enough of.
From more than 40 years, McEntire has contributed to not only music but also pop culture as a whole. Country music fans know her for her many hits and non-country fans know her as the snarky redhead from her TV sitcom. You simply can't deny the impact she's had. She's also known for that fancy red dress but that is just the surface of her legacy. When you dig into her catalog you realize there really is a lot of life out there.

A Tyrannosaurus Rex, későbbi nevén T. Rex egy angol rockegyüttes, mely 1967-es megalakulásától a pszichedelikus, majd a glam rock stílus egyik legnépszerűbb együttese volt. A változó összeállítású zenekar egyetlen állandó tagja, egyben vezetője és meghatározó személyisége Marc Bolan énekes-gitáros, aki a hetvenes évek első nagy tinibálványa volt Nagy-Britanniában. Marc Bolan korai halála után a személyére alapozott együttes hamarosan feloszlott. A T. Rex albumaiból több mint 58 millió példány kelt el világszerte.

Története

Tyrannosaurus Rex: folk és flower-power (1967 – 1970)
Marc Bolan 1967-ben Steve Peregrine Tookkal karöltve megpróbált összetoborozni egy öttagú zenekart, de a kölcsönző cég visszavette a felszerelésüket. Ezután Bolan és Took 1968-ban megalakította a kétszemélyes, akusztikus folk rockot játszó Tyrannosaurus Rex együttest. A tündérekkel, koboldokkal és a "virághatalom" (flower-power, a hippi korszak fő ideológiája, jelentése átvitt értelemben a fegyverek és háborúk helyett a béke és szeretet hatalma) mitológiájával telezsúfolt Tyrannosaurus Rex albumok kissé talán mesterkéltek, de megragadják a szeretet és béke filozófiájának lényegét. A duó élvezte a nagy tekintélyű BBC-s disc-jockey és műsorvezető, John Peel támogatását. A duóban Marc Bolan mögött fokozatosan háttérbe szoruló Steve Peregrine Took 1970-ben kiszállt, helyére Mickey Finn került, akivel Bolan egy reformétteremben találkozott össze. A stílusváltás jegyében a következő, Beard Of Stars című albumon Marc Bolan az akusztikus gitárt elektromos gitárra cserélte.

T. Rex: glam rock (1970 – 1977)
Még abban az évben, az együttes nevét T. Rexre rövidítették. A T.Rex az elkövetkező két évben szinte példa nélküli sikersorozatot ért el. A lágy, de gyors ritmusú Ride A White Swan meglepetésre 2. helyezésig jutott fel a brit sikerlistán, továbbá 16 hétig szerepelt a Top 30-ban, amire alig volt példa az angol rockzene történetében. Bill Legend dobossal és Steve Currie basszusgitárossal kiegészülve, kimondottan a tini poprajongóknak készült a Hot Love című kislemez, amely 1971 elején hat hétig listaelső lett. Még ebben az évben a Get It On volt második No.1 daluk. A Get It On című szám Bang A Gong címmel az együttes legnagyobb amerikai sikerévé vált. Annak ellenére, hogy a Jeepster című szám a brit listán 2. helyezett lett, a Fly Record Bolannal való egyeztetés nélkül kihúzta a dalt az új Electric Warrior albumról. A művész ezután dühében szakított a céggel, és az EMI-hoz pártolt. Az ezután következő többi sláger (Telegram Sam, Metal Guru, Children Of The Revolution, Solid Gold Easy Action, 20th Century Boy, The Groover) szintén Top 10 siker lett.

1972 a brit sikerek nagy éve lett. A T. Rex ezoterikus folk rock együttesből végleg átvedlett rockos popcsapattá. Bolan a Beatles, majd a Monkees után a kistinik bálványa lett, egyfajta guru, aki a felnőtteknek szóló rock világában a műfaj új csodáit testesítette meg a 10-16 évesek számára. Ő volt az első, aki a pop kultúrán belül generációs szakadékot nyitott: amikor az idősebb testvérek Led Zeppelin vagy Deep Purple lemezt vásároltak, a kisebb testvérek egy-egy T. Rex kislemezért ostromolták az üzleteket. Bolan egyedül jelentette számukra azt, amit a Beatles, a Rolling Stones és a többi beatzenekar a hatvanas években közösen fejezett ki: a különállást, a lázadást, az idősebb generációk világával való szembefordulást. A sajtó is az új generáció "prófétájaként" írt róla, akinek személyes varázsa "rextasy" néven a beatle-mániára emlékeztető tömeghisztériát váltott ki.

A jelenség az ex-Beatles tagot Ringo Starrt is megfogta, aki 1972-ben Born To Boogie címmel filmet forgatott az együttes két koncertjéről. A Wembley Empire Poolban rendezett koncertekről a T. Rex zenéjét egyébként "zig-zag boogie"-nak tituláló kritika is azt írta, hogy a legnagyobb popzenei esemény volt a hatvanas évek óta, egy hihetelen koncert, amely megváltoztatta a brit rock arculatát. A T. Rex legnagyobb sikereit 1971-73 között aratta, amikor Bolan – David Bowie-t leszámítva – a legnépszerűbb popsztár volt Nagy-Britanniában.

A gyors sikerek után azonban hamar megfakult a ragyogás, a mindig újra vágyó, marketing által befolyásolt fiatal közönség 1972 után egyre inkább a glitter és glam rock új sztárjaira, például a Slade-re és Gary Glitter-re volt vevő. A hetvenes évek közepétől azután a glam rock rövid uralmát lassan a punk és a diszkó váltotta fel. A T. Rex zenéje az évtized második felére már divatjamúlt terméknek számított Angliában. Bolan 1975 márciusában szakított Mickey Finnel, és a T. Rex megszűnt létezni.

1976 elején Bolan és Jones egy új T. Rexet alakított Herbie Flowers, Miller Anderson és Tony Newman stúdiózenészek, valamint Dino Dines billentyűs közreműködésével, majd a visszatérés reményében a The Damned támogatásával 1977 tavaszán turnéra indultak. 1976-ban megjelent Futuristic Dragon című albumuk csak az ötvenedik helyezést érte el, de a következő évben megjelent Dandy in the Underworld a 26. helyezésig jutott, ami az előző évek után akár egy új karrier felé is vezethetett. Marc Bolan 1977 szeptember 16-án, egy autóbalesetben bekövetkezett halála azonban mindennek véget vetett.

Mickey Finn's T. Rex (1997 – napjainkig)
Bolan halála ugyan a T. Rex végét jelentette, de húsz évvel később Mickey Finn és a kései T. Rex dobosa Paul Fenton 1997-ben megalakították a Mickey Finn's T. Rex névre keresztelt együttest, amelyben több korábbi T. Rex zenész is közreműködött, többek között az énekes Rob Benson és a gitáros Jack Green. Finn 2003-as halála után a tagok együtt maradtak és Finn emlékének is adózva tovább viszik a zenekart.

Q: What is the theta in this cartesian to polar coordinates problem? If x=1 and y=1, what is the theta and why?
I know for a fact that the answer is pi/4 but I do not get why.

A: Given $(x,y)\in \Bbb R^2$, you can find $\rho\in \Bbb R^+$ and $\theta \in [-\pi,\pi]$ such that $(x,y)=\rho (\cos (\theta), \sin (\theta))$, where $\rho=\sqrt {x^2+y^2}$ and, with $\tan$ defined on $ \left[-\pi , -\frac \pi 2\right[\cup \left]-\frac \pi 2, 0\right]$ (so that $\theta \in [-\pi,\pi]$),  $$\theta =\begin{cases} \arctan \left(\dfrac yx\right), &\text{if } x>0\\
\dfrac \pi 2, &\text{if }x=0 \text{ and }y>0\\
\arctan \left(\dfrac yx\right)+\pi &\text{if }x<0\\
-\dfrac \pi 2, &\text{if } x=0\text{ and }y<0\end{cases}$$
In your example you get $\rho=\sqrt {1^2+1^2}$ and $\theta=\arctan \left(\dfrac 11\right)=\arctan \left( 1\right)=\dfrac \pi 4.$

A: $$x = r\cos \theta = 1\;\text{ and }\;y = r\sin\theta = 1$$  $$\tan\theta = \dfrac {\sin\theta}{\cos \theta} = \dfrac xy = 1$$
$$\theta = \arctan 1 = \dfrac \pi 4 $$
$r$ is simply $\sqrt{1^2 + 1^2 } = \sqrt 2$. Recall, the radius is equivalent to $r$ where $$x^2 + y^2 = r^2$$
So $(x, y) = (1, 1)$ in Cartesian Coordinates is equivalent to $(r, \theta) = (\sqrt 2, \pi 4)$ in polar coordinates.

A: The angle $\theta$ in polar coordinates is measured from the $+x$ axis, where $\theta=0$ increasing counterclockwise.  Since the vector $(1,1)$ is rotated $\frac \pi 4$ from the $+x$ axis, that is the $\theta$ coordinate of the point.  In general, the $\theta$ coordinate $(x,y)$ is $\arctan \frac yx (+ \pi)$ where the $(+ \pi)$ indicates that there are two angles along the line which differ by $\pi$ and you need to figure out which you want.  If the point were $(-1,1)$, for example, we have $\frac yx=1$, but the angle is $\frac {5\pi }4$

A: We can graph this on the Cartesian plane. We see that since $x = 1$ and $y = 1$, we know that this will be in the first quadrant. First we can find the $r$ value which is $\sqrt{1^2+1^2} = \sqrt{2}$. Now to find the angle. Since this in the first quadrant we don't have to add anything so we can just use $\tan$ which says $\tan(\theta) = \frac{ 1}{1}$ which means that $\theta = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac 11 \right)$ which means that $\theta = \frac{\pi}4$. This means that the point $(1, 1)$ on the Cartesian plane is $(\sqrt{2}, \frac{\pi}{4})$.
