Caroline Polachek takes listeners on a celestial voyage on "Billions"
Photo by Aidan Zamiri, styled by Tati Cotliar
The mesmerizingly winding road of Caroline Polachek's musical trajectory had spanned far and wide—from writing haunted house music in Boulder, Colorado to co-founding the indie combo Chairlift and bestriding the Great-Early-21st-Century-Brooklyn-Psych-Pop-Rock Renaissance alongside the likes of MGMT, Yeasayer, and Grizzly Bear; from songwriting collabs with such obscure niche artists as Beyoncé, Solange, and Blood Orange to putting out solo albums under two separate alter egos (the Dario Argento-adjacent dark synthpop soundtracks of Ramona Lisa, and the electro-instrumental ambient drift of CEP); and finally, from her 2019 debut LP released under her own name called Pang to her two latest singles which together demonstrate that Ms. Polachek still has plenty of new musical highways and byways left to explore somehow.
The first of these two singles ("Bunny Is A Rider") is a song about being "liberated by disappearance, about non-responding, about being unbeholden to anyone" which accounts for the refrain of Bunny is a rider / satellite can't find her which is a fitting theme for our current Surveillance Age where freedom's just another word for somewhere left to get lost—a theme mirrored sonically by the stark bassline-led Spaghetti Western musical textures, and their implied wide-open spaces, complete with pitter-pattering rhythms and high lonesome whistling and autotuned trilling and sampled infant cooing plus plenty of tape hiss and chicken scratch and synth swelling all of which makes going off the digital grid sound like escaping to a glitchy Wild West.
The second single, "Billions," released earlier this month, likewise takes the listener to a place outside of normal experience or social surveillance—the title and the cosmic vibes of "Billions" can't help but put this listener in a very Carl Sagan-esque headspace—a space comprised of delicately lurching reversed rhythms and skittering tablas that like raindrops dancing off rooftops plus celestial choirs and sub-bass and string arpeggiations and dramatic recitations and a breakdown section with what may possibly be a dilruba solo (but hey I'm no ethnomusicologist) not to mention Caroline's majestically malleable voice swooping across multiple octave registers and multiple emotional registers and multiple digital manipulations across the song's nearly five-minute kaleidoscopic arrangement.
In sum it's a virtuosic arrangement and production and performance overall—with both singles co-written and co-produced by British producer/remixer/songwriter Danny L Harle, best known for his work with the pioneering PC Music collective and for his impressive resume of collaborations, including making Pang and seriously the collaborative work of Polachek & Harle so far is the closest upgraded-equivalent of Bjork and Nellee Hooper's sublime mid-90s sides that I know of with "Billions" being their "Venus As A Boy" (extolling the virtues of a lover who lies like a sailor but…loves like a painter). The duo have a knack for not only crossing musical boundaries but also for pretty much melting them away entirely, with synthetic sounds rendered vivid and visceral and lifelike, while organic sounds often come off as extraterrestrial, in other words, a near-total meshing of human/physical and machine/technological that's like "sexting sonnets / under the tables / tangled in cables" to quote Caroline herself.
Oh and the video for "Billions" is cool too just like most of Ms. Polachek's video (see top of this page, co-directed by Matt Copson and Caroline herself) and after viewing it you'll probably wanna go grape-picking-and-stomping and then order some cool crazy-straw-style wine glasses and an ornamental blown-glass funnel for bath-taking purposes but sorry no Paul Giamatti.

New song & music video premiere: Pan Arcadia "You Are Who You Remain"
Pan Arcadia are a band with a very dog-like energy which is something that I appreciate because it seems like rock bands have become more and more cat-like over the years—aloof and elusive, venal and preening, prepared to scratch your eyes out at a moments notice, which to be sure are all admirable qualities in a rock band. But for the six gentlemen of Pan Arcadia (Brian on drums, Henry on bass, Dylan and Gabriel on guitars, Jimmy on trumpet, and Eamon on the mic) there's an appealing throwback quality in their strong canine energy, an energy that's especially evident live where they rock out in a manner that's unassuming and ardent and impassioned, to the degree that if one of the Pan Arcadians were to jump off stage and eagerly lick your face for a full minute you probably wouldn't even mind because it'd just make you think of Fleegle the Beagle and make you wish they were playing at an amusement park.
Tongue baths aside, with their resplendent manes there's also the fact that many of the Pan Arcadians resemble Llasa Apsos (granted not so much as the Allman Brothers Band though) which is fitting to this writeup because did you know Llasa Apsos are believed by Tibetan Buddhists to be the breed of dog that the soul of a priest is most likely to inhabit in its final stage of reincarnation before being re-born as a human? Likewise, Pan Arcadia's new single "You Are Who You Remain" has a mystical bent to it which you may have guessed from its title alone, a song that's about "being here now" once the external world's bells-and-whistles are all stripped away (stripped away by, let's say for instance, a global pandemic) a theme presented through a series of lyrical aphorisms delivered here with such swooning conviction that even a familiar phrase like "where there's smoke there's fire" is turned into a Zen kōan, and a theme that's further enhanced even further by the music video's "still center point of the unverise" time-lapse visuals.
According to songwriter Eamon Rush, "YAWYR" started off as a Dylan-esque acoustic guitar number (written while he was quarantined over his birthday) which makes it all the more remarkable that the studio version is the best representation of Pan Arcadia's live sound yet—the sound of six musicians who seem to be telepathically linked...an immersive sound that's big but not overly busy (all the better for the melodic hooks to cut through) with a kind of stately rock elegance that's less U2 and more INXS ("Don't Change" most especially) assuming we're forced to make 80s-era comparisons (we are, at gunpoint) a comparision that's highly apropos for a brass-enhanced six-piece after all.
Final thoughts: And so, for any aspiring bands out there in the same mold, it's highly recommended you all live together in a small ramshackle house tucked behind an alley with a basement space perfect for practicing (see music video above) but which is oft-times lacking in cold water (yup you heard me right cold water!) thus necessitating 30-second-long scalding showers, in order to develop the strong sense of rapport and cohesion necessary for writing and performing songs like "You Are Who You Remain."

Liz Cooper brings the hot sass on new live EP
On 2021's Hot Sass, Brooklyn-via-Nashville-via-Baltimore-singer-songwriter-axe-wielder Liz Cooper conjures up a unique fusion/contusion of tight-as-a-tick's-ass-Music-City-worthy songcraft (e.g.,"Shoot the Moon") crossed with a Brooklyn-worthy tendency to drive finely honed songcraft straight over the edge of a cliff (or better yet off the side of the Williamsburg Bridge, that is, if it wasn't all caged in) in the process exploding/imploding traditional song structures with excursions into (for instance) nearly eight-minute epic Krautrock-style locked grooves infused with acid-fried-psych and a cappella inserts as on "Lucky Charm" or (for another instance) sexy glam rock stomp outfitted with fits of pummeling hardcore feral-freakout riffage alongside fragments of floaty musique concrète soundscapery as on the eponymous "Hot Sass" (a song which totally captures what it feel like to have a freakout episode in a Kroger parking lot and I grew up in Dallas so I oughta know).
The end product of all this musical assembly/disassembly was a compellingly schizoid album that felt highly apropos to last year and still feels it today—equal parts dreamy pop reverie and jittery anxiety dream—so that perhaps it makes sense Ms. Cooper made the move to Crooklyn when she did because some of the tracks on Hot Sass may be just a little bit too sassy for Nashville these days and it's not a city that's generally short on sass either even if there's a growing sass supply shortage (RIP Katy K's).
And now to our main attraction: the five-song live set posted yesterday on Audiotree Live (Chitown in the house!) by Liz Cooper and her current band—and lemme tell ya she's assembled a crack band to help realize her post-Liz-Cooper-And-The-Stampede musical vision (the Stampede was also a crack band to be sure, tho' one I hasten to add a band that was never known to take crack, a drug that doesn't lend itself to mellifluous steel guitar infused alt-country).
Take set opener "Je T'aime" for instance (see the top of this page) which features a flinty/flirty shaker-assisted groove that brings to mind some of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's classic mid-to-late '60s sides (not to mention how Liz can shift her voice from coyly supine, to aggressively vulpine, on a dime, and back again, not unlike Frank's favorite daughter) a parallel that's further enhanced by the song's pregnant pauses and these-boots-are-gonna-walk-all-over-you lyrical message if less so by its space-alien-summoning keyboard solo and final serrated guitar chord.
So check out the full live set in the video at the top of this page and/or in audio form at the streaming platform of your choice and don't worry I won't spoil the other four songs for ya cuz I ain't sassy like that. (Jason Lee)

Bummer Camp learn(s) to "Laugh All Day"
A lot of times when I'm writing these reviews or rants or whatever they are exactly it's sometimes difficult to decide if a band's name should be followed by a singular or a plural verb. Like most people would say "The Doors were on tour in Miami when Jim Morrison was arrested for indecent exposure" because to say "The Doors was on tour when Jimbo etc etc penis etc etc" just sounds weird. But to say "Duran Duran is a band known for their sometimes risqué music videos" versus "are a band known for..." isn't so weird at all even though there's at least two "Durans" in the group. It's all darn confusing sometimes.
What's also darn confusing sometimes, and just about as common these days, is the question of whether a "band" who's really just a single dude or dudette or charcoal briquette (whatever!) should be treated as a singular entity or a collective identity. And to complicate/simplify matters further it's not unusual for individuals to refer to themselves as "they" these days. So hey, why not use the plural form of verbs for these individuals-cum-bands like for instance: "St. Vincent are known for being romantically linked to Kristen Stewart" which isn't bad actually because this makes it so much easier to have sex with entire bands at once and to describe such encounters in grammatically precise terms.
Anyway what I'm really driving at here is that Bummer Camp is/are one of those "one-man bands" that gives verb-tense fixated music blog editors headaches (and don't even get me started on one-woman bands!) but for the rest of humanity Bummer Camp is/are simply purveyors of good head music, that is, if you're chill enough for it because Mr. Bummer has a way with entrancing songs built around looping repetitions and layer-by-layer wall-of-sound constructions like a DIY musical paper mâché project made up of Rick Rubinesque Def Jam-era drum loops, bedrock bass riffs, and circling, swirling layers of guitar (plus the occasional synth natch) pasting scraps of melody-upon-melody and texture-upon-texture but while never losing the minimalist feel of each basic building block either. And by any given song's end you may feel like you huffed a little too much Elmer's glue.
Bummer Camp's latest single "Laugh All Day"—his/their third single in the preceding five months—provides a good case-in-point for the points above. The song also fits his/their social-media self description to a tee, i.e., "gothy folk pop from Queens" and lyrically it's either "about my life, my friends, my family, my job, [or] my car and the inadequacy it feels because it only has one headlight" because that's what Bummer Camp songs are about.
"Laugh All Day" opens with a chugging chord progression that would do Paul Westerberg proud with its restrained "aging punk rocker aging gracefully" raggedy folksy vibe but accompanied by a primitive drum machine and catchy as hell to boot. Then about half a minute in there's a lead part that enters with this distinctive mid-tempo-contemplative-melodic-goth feel to it where you just know that if Molly Ringwald were in detention she'd go up onto the library's stairwell landing and do her preppie anarchy dance, a mood that's intensified further by the swampy echo on the vocals sung with a Richard Butler-esque sunglasses-at-night insouciance. Ergo, gothy folk pop from Queens.
"Laugh All Day" bops along contentedly but it also keeps slipping in these subtly spectral moments too—like how the guitar line mimics the vocal melody at first but then starts to detach until it spins off into its own curlicue melodic figures finally reaching escape velocity about halfway through the song, and then dissolving into a shimmering halo of sound, and then a plucky palm-muted surf's up section, and then a rhythmic drop and a cascading guitar line soaring over the top, and then a wordless vocal croon soaring over the top of the soaring guitar line, with the end effect something like a chorus of cicadas on a still summer night.
So with these recent single releases who knows if Bummer Camp is building up to full EP or an LP or a fold-out-gatefold-triple-album concept record that'll come with a full set of van decal stickers illustrated by Roger Dean. But wherever it all ends up I'd say it's a safe to say this one-man band will keep us oscillating wildly (or oscillating mellowly) until we reach the end of the ride. (Jason Lee)

Guerilla Toss delivers cannibalist manifesto on latest single
Guerilla Toss is a band that specializes in dance-punk-acid-house-party-rock anthems that sound like they've been beamed to this planet straight from the Big Red Spot of Jupiter because much like that celestial "beauty mark" (actually a raging centuries-old storm bigger than the entire planet Earth) their music is a swirling sonic vortex that pulls in all manner of sonic space junk from the surrounding atmosphere which gets all mashed up and mutated in the eye of the storm re-emerging as a molten musical liquid metal that gets shot back into space via electromagnetic waves audible through this planet's primitive stereo receivers and equalizers and discontinued iPods.
Granted, this may sound like a crackpot analogy but it's supported by the band's own lyrical exegesis on songs like "Meteorological" (from 2018's Twisted Crystal), "Can I Get the Real Stuff" (from 2017's GT Ultra), and "367 Equalizer" (from 2014's Infinity Cat Series). And you can hear the interplanetary vibes with your own ears just by putting on Guerilla Toss's latest single "Cannibal Capital" (music video directed by Lisa Schatz) from their upcoming Sub Pop debut full-length Famously Alive due out on 3/25, a song that seems to mix and mutate the various stages of the band's own musical history—from the noisy experimentalism of their early releases to the mutant funk of their more recent DFA releases—a song that by their own account "makes everything sensory."
The song opens with a sound-collage intro that appears to incorporate the sounds of a Merzbow cassette being eaten by malfunctioning tape deck, a leaky toilet, an air rifle, and a cat suffering from intestinal distress—all in the first 15 seconds or so. It just goes to show how much Guerilla Toss takes making everything sensory very seriously indeed.
Meanwhile a twitchy-tail-shaking-percolating-mid-tempo groove emerges from the sonic murk and while it seems to vanquish it at first the sonic murk keeps seeping back in around the edges with squelching synths and blasts of power chords and so forth thus setting up a disintegration/reintegration dialectic that fits perfectly with the song's opening lyric ("you need help / melt in every dimension") and it's not the only case of lyrical/musical synchronicity either like later where vocalist Kassie Carlson poses the question "can I escape gracefully?" and the vocals veer out of time on cue escaping the rhythm of the tightly wound groove for a few moments.
Closing arguments: On "Cannibal Capital" Guerilla Toss have proven once again that pop will eat itself and and that there's a cultural capital to cannibals just as Brazilian poet Oswald de Andrade observed back in 1928 when he wrote the Cannibalist Manifesto which advocated the notion that "Brazil's history of cannibalizing other cultures was its greatest strength and had been the nation's way of asserting independence over European colonial culture" a notion that went on to inspire the late '60s art and music movement movement called Tropicália—whose best-known proponents were Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Tom Zé, and Os Mutantes which literally means The Mutants—likewise frooted in a collage aesthetic where the "sacred enemy" is disgested and transformed, and with all this in mind I'd say it's fair to say that Guerilla Toss are our modern-day tropicalistas, i.e. modern primitives, likely transplanted from outer space no less, or Boston, one or the other, sent to Earth/NYC to absorb our musical traditions "body snatchers style" and spit 'em back out in capitvatingly mutated form.

Q: Best match for input query from a set of documents I have 8 documents and I ran TF-IDF on it to get an array. I don't understand how I find out which is the best document match for a given input query?
all_documents = [doc1, doc2, ...., doc7]
sklearn_tfidf = TfidfVectorizer(norm='l2',min_df=0, use_idf=True, smooth_idf=False, sublinear_tf=True, tokenizer=tokenize)
sklearn_representation = sklearn_tfidf.fit_transform(all_documents).toarray()

A: Transform the input to tf-idf format using TfidfVectorizer. You can then use a distance metric (cosine, euclidean, manhattan, ...) to calculate the document that is closest to your input.
Each of the documents should use the same vocabulary. I assume that your 8 document vectors have the same length? The sklearn_tfidf object that you created has an attribute vocabulary_ that contains all words that are used in the vectors. Your input query should be reduced to only containing those words.
Example
Document1: dogs are cute
Document2: cats are awful

Leads to a vocabulary of [dogs, cats, are, cute, awful]. A query containing other words than these 5 cannot be used. For example if your query is cute animals, the animals has no meaning, because it cannot be found in one of the documents. The query thus reduces to following vector: [0,0,0,1,0] since cute is the only word that can be found in the documents.

The White House Framework for Tax Legislation
On September 27, the White House released a document called the "Unified Framework for Fixing Our Broken Tax Code," containing an outline prepared by the administration plus the senior Republican members of the tax-writing committees of Congress. The Framework is far less detailed than previous proposals for structural tax reform, but is instead described as a "template" which the authors intend for Congress to use to prepare actual legislation. This template calls for new tax rates for individuals and businesses and would create a territorial international tax system. Some key headlines:
Estate Tax. The Framework calls for a repeal of the estate tax. In announcing the tax plan, the President said that repeal would overwhelmingly help farmers and small business owners. However, most farm families are not actually affected by the estate tax, which only applies to estates valued at over $5.49 million. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center projects that estate tax of $19.95 billion will arise from Americans dying in 2017, of which about $30 million, or 00.15%, will be paid by the estates of farmers and small business owners.
The Framework would also repeal the generation skipping transfer tax. The proposal is silent on the gift tax.

"Autumn... the year's last, loveliest smile."
I've been wanting to go to this event ever since I heard about the first one but somehow I've always been busy. So I was super excited that I was actually free this year.
I mean, who wouldn't want an excuse to dress up in your 1920's Sunday best and step back in time for an afternoon?
The whole event was fabulous.
From the costumes, the vendors, the music, the venue, all of it. I met so many lovely, eclectic, fun, interesting and wonderful people. It was such a great afternoon.
Like... really. I'm already dress shopping.
Anyway, here are some photos from the event!
as well to keep up with all of the fun events!
*cough cough*), ridiculously cute puppies to pet, street musicians playing your favorite Beirut song (thanks guys!), and of course heaps of restaurants and food trucks to eat from.
And of course if I get to do all of that in the company of a lovely friend it's twice as enjoyable.
Isn't it just so perfect? Knitting obsession personified. I met the lovely woman, Marty, who designed the whole thing and told her so myself.
Also: I could pretty much live in that store. It's so beautiful and put together oh so perfectly.
Their whole aesthetic and design is so spot on.
Go check it out if you haven't yet!
Dusk is one of my favorite times of day.
The world is winding down or, depending on the day of the week, winding up (hey there Friday night).
Various lights are starting to glow to life in the buildings, on the cars and in the street.
But the light of dusk itself is just so pinky-purpley perfect.
And I'm not even a huge pink/purple kinda gal.
These were taken from a rooftop in the city a few months ago.
They're nothing extra special but they commemorate a good day.
And good days are worth remembering.
Which were well worth the trip.
I mean they were, I kid you not, the size of my face.
and wandered around the park a bit, which I'd surprisingly never been to.
All in all a good Saturday that will definitely have to be replicated again soon.
is one of my happy places.
But I figured it deserved it's own "My RVA" post.
Mostly just because I'm always taking photos of it.
So here are a few from a month or so ago.
It's most beautiful at night I think.
Oh, and, the rabbit's back.

The key is an integrated, multi-sector approach that uses savings from early coal plant retirements to fund transportation and building electrification.
Boulder, CO, November 5, 2019 – A new report commissioned by Community Energy, Inc. finds that replacing Colorado's aging coal plants with a mix of wind and solar backed by battery storage and some natural gas, and electrifying transport and buildings, would reduce Colorado electric costs and average rates by more than 15% by 2040 and produce annual savings in excess of $700 million.
The modelling study, prepared by Vibrant Clean Energy, LLC, further finds that re-investing some portion of the coal plant retirement savings into accelerating transportation and building electrification can reduce STATEWIDE CO2 emission by 56% by 2030 and almost 70% by 2040, well above the aggressive statutory CO2 emission reduction requirements in recently passed state legislation, HB19-1261. These carbon-reduction targets meet the levels established by the latest climate change science to avoid the most serious climate change impacts.
"Colorado has the opportunity to decarbonize its economy AND lower utility rates and costs," said Eric Blank, EVP at Community Energy, Inc. "The key is to focus across multiple sectors using savings from coal plant retirements to fund building and transport electrification. The new electric demand also allows for far greater renewable penetration as wind and solar facilities that would otherwise be curtailed (due to inadequate demand) can now be used to flexibly charge growing amounts of electric vehicle batteries.
Using assumptions from recent Colorado PUC filings and NREL reports, the study finds that the ability to reduce CO2 emissions and lower utility costs and rates holds true across most natural gas pricing, interest rate and demand growth assumptions. It is primarily driven by the fact that new wind and solar facilities are now far less expensive to build than the operating costs of the aging coal fleet.
The report indicates that there is an opportunity for utilities to recover up to $1.5 billion in undepreciated asset value by the coal-plant owners to facilitate the voluntary phased retirement of the coal facilities and transport and building electrification. Wind and solar prices in the report reflect a mix of both utility and private ownership, consistent with the approach adopted in the recent Colorado PUC-approved retirement of two coal units in Pueblo, Colorado.
According to Chris Clack, CEO of Vibrant Clean Energy, "The Community Energy sponsored study confirms that wind and solar are now far cheaper than the operating costs of many aging coal plants and that it's now possible to leverage these savings to accelerate transport and building electrification."
"The path forward to reducing CO2 emissions and lowering electricity costs in Colorado is now clear. We need to collaborate across sectors to focus on the largest, quickest, and most cost-effective emission reduction opportunities," said Blank.

Fishing can be a really enjoyable activity. But, getting fished, or phished for that matter, is not so fun. Yes, it is actually possible for people to get phished. Just like how fish that are fished are lured and killed, people who are phished are deceived and victimized. What exactly is phishing? Phishing is the act of deceiving (usually through email) people to reveal sensitive information such as passwords, bank account numbers, social security number, and credit card information.
With such sensitive information on the line, the stakes are obviously high. Sadly, as dangerous as they are, phishing attacks are common – very common. The 2012 RSA online fraud report indicates that there is an average of 33,000 phishing attacks each month; and these are just the ones reported. Because phishing attacks are so dangerous and prevalent, it is definitely important to protect yourself from them. This guide shows you how phishing attacks work and how to protect yourselves from them.
1. You receive an email that seem to be from a legitimate company.
2. You are told that you need to update personal information for security purposes.
3. Concerned about safety, you click on the link that points to the counterfeit website.
4. You land on a website that looks exactly like the real one.
5. You enter your personal information and attempt to login.
6. The hacker now has your information – you've just been phished. You are at the mercy of the "phisherman" or hacker. They can hijack your account, go on a spending spree, or selling your account information in the online black market.
As you can see, it only takes about a minute or less to get hacked. Fortunately, you can protect yourself. Follow these tips below.

DOOMBEN racing tips from punters & Australia's racing media experts.
When there are upcoming races at Doomben, this page will display Doomben tip statistics from people working in the racing industry, expert form analysts, and punters who reckon they are just as good as the respected names. Have a look at these stats, and you'll soon find out whose Doomben tips to follow, whether it be the tips from the likes of Queensland expert racing form analyst Chris Nelson, or an unheralded amateur who really knows their stuff.
When race fields for Doomben aren't available, this page will instead show a leaderboard with the tipster's names, ranked by profit win percentage by default, using the historical records all past tips placed at Doomben. Our leaderboard is meritocratic in that anybody can find themselves on the top, provided that their tips at Doomben perform consistently well.
Located six kilometres north west of Brisbane's CBD in the suburb of Ascot, Doomben Racecourse was opened in 1933, and is within spitting distance of Brisbane's second premier racecourse Eagle Farm. Like its racecourse neighbour, Doomben was turned into a military home for Allied troops during World War Two, before being reopened in 1946.
Before the winter carnival reaches its zenith at Eagle Farm, there is an impressive list of races to get through at Doomben in May. These are highlighted by Doomben's two Group One races, the Doomben Cup and the Doomben 10,000. Run over 2,200 the Doomben cup is unique in that it can be won by stayers as well as middle distance runners. However, the Doomben 10,000 is purely for sprinters, and a race that top Australian short distance gallopers look to target at least once in their careers.
Doomben is quite a small track, with a circumference of only 1,715 metres, and a relatively short winning straight of 350 metres. The racetrack's three chutes at 1,350, 1,650 and 2,200 metres sees odd distances being run at Doomben, that won't be found at many other racecourses in the country.

Looking at my feeds and posts that are created, it appears that Autoblog is not posting duplicates of the same content.
I am trying to set-up numerous feeds from a job listing website of ours that posts jobs in different categories. Some job postings are assigned numerous categories due to the nature of the job position. When I try to create a feed for each of the different categories, Autoblog will not post anything that has previously shown in a different feed.
Is there a way around this behavior, possibly a modification to accept duplicate posts?
Have you tried to import without assigning to any particular category and treating the existing ones from the feed as categories?
This should assign the post to multiple categories if already assigned in the feed.
Even the posts you bring are not duplicated on the parent site, there is only one post with different categories attached, so the best way would be to follow through treating it as such on your site as well.
Could you give it a go? I'd like to know your results :slight_smile: I have a feeling it will work nicely!
Notice: I have already imported the first post in the feed "name of post" so I would have stopped processing.
Do I need to set-up a MU system to get around this or is there possibly a simple mod to the plugin that can accomplish this?
I did a bit of testing earlier and it seems that AutoBlog will not import a post more than once. So that means, no you can't import a post more than once or create duplicates.
You'd need some custom code to get around it I'm afraid. I guess using a multisite would help but I"m not sure how you envision it working. Sorry, wish I had better news!
I have a long shot that might work, but no promises!
1. create a multisite and have an extra site for feed dumps. then set up two feeds on every site to draw from the original source and the feed dump site.
2. set auto blog to to change the post date to Import date on the dump site.
Then set your sub site to pull from both the main site, and the dump site. Hopfully those little changes make a difference!
Thanks for the feedback, I will do some testing to see what can be done.
I definitely feel that this type of feature should be worked into a future release of the plugin. Giving the author the ability to display duplicate posts or not via the admin would give much more flexibility to the plugin.
As an example, I'm working on creating a mobile friendly version of a few WP installs. Some posts end up in different categories on the main site, so recreating the categories on the mobile site is a little tricky if posts are not being duplicated.
Sounds like something that could be useful, why not start a feature request on the feature and feedback thread and post the link back here and i will add my +1 vote it. If it get enough votes then the will develop it!
Feel free to link to it from here!

Xiao Jing was no better. His handsome face was swollen like a pig's head and he was ragged, with wounds and bruises all over his body. But his eyes were so unfathomably deep that Ling Yao felt her heart miss a beat when looking into his eyes...
"Xiao Jing... " Ling Yao swallowed and tried to say something, but was interrupted by the man's cold eyes.
"What do you want, if you don't let it go? Don't forget the pill we just swallowed. If you don't force yourself to forget it, who knows what will happen to us again?"
Xiao Jing was a little annoyed. Even now, he still had no clue how he had offended that crazy woman and therefore suffered such a mad retaliation from her. After saying this, he was silent again. After a while, his brows tightly knitted, he said, "Now let's go back to the Xiao Family first."
Ling Yao was still reluctant, her eyes burning with rage, "We're here to find that trash! What about the trash if we go back now?"
"Your grandfather told you to listen to me when he agreed to allow you to come with me. If you don't want to go back, that's fine. I'll leave, and you can stay here alone! Don't forget what that crazy woman just said. She said we should stay here a few days longer, so she could beat us a for a few more days."
Xiao Jing gnashed his teeth, but couldn't do anything, because he was simply no match for that woman! The top priority now was to return to the Xiao Family, in case that crazy woman came after them again. Ling Yao stomped her foot. No matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to quickly leave the courtyard behind Xiao Jing.
In the General's Estate, after hearing that Ling Yao and Xiao Jing had left overnight, Yun Luofeng's face lit up with a wicked smile, a scheming light flickering across her dark eyes. "You think you can just get away with it after hurting Yun Xiao? If I don't make some trouble for you, I'm afraid you'll still be nagging Yun Xiao."
"What do you have planned, Miss?" Qingyan blinked and asked her curiously.
Not answering her question, Yun Luofeng just smiled and said, "Qingyan, I'm going to go out. Prepare me a change of clothes and a bamboo hat."
Though Qingyan was very curious, she didn't ask much. She knew her miss would always be right no matter what she was going to do.
As gentle as water, the night was quiet and beautiful. Leading their subordinates, Xiao Jing and Ling Yao were walking quickly in the darkness, as if it was a place of savages and they couldn't wait to leave here. Unfortunately, because all of them were badly injured, they had to stop and go, advancing very slowly. Therefore, they were still walking in the ancient trees outside the Imperial City after several hours.
"Ling Yao, hang on, when we leave this place, we can find a clinic to heal our wounds," said Xiao Jing, frowning at Ling Yao who was panting beside him.
If it hadn't been for the Ling Family's old man who had asked him to take care of Ling Yao, he might have left her alone.
"But I can't walk anymore."
Ling Yao lay down against a tree, her face ghastly pale. The bruises on her body had not yet faded, so her skin was still all black and blue. The bloodstains on her clothes had dried and turned brown.
"Ling Yao!" Xiao Jing's brows were knitted more tightly, "If you don't want to meet that crazy woman again, get up now. Who knows when that maniac could jump out of nowhere!"
Apparently, Xiao Jing was really afraid of Yun Luofeng…

Young Security Guard Electrocutes Himself Inside His Room In Lagos.
Eclipse TrendyDecember 08, 2018 No comments
According to a report by Saturday Punch, the relatives of a 22-year-old security guard on Baale Street, Igbo Efon, Ilasan, in the Ajah area of Lagos State have said that they are in the dark about the circumstances surrounding his alleged suicide.
The guard, Moses Noah, reportedly plugged a pair of wires in his room's socket; tied the two other ends to his hand and neck and switched on the socket.
It was gathered that no suicide note was found in the room, which he shared with a cousin named Gideon.
Noah, who doubled as a cleaner in the compound he guarded, was described as a quiet person.
City Round learnt that the incident happened around 9am when Gideon, went to buy food on the street. He was said to have met the door locked from inside when he returned home.
It was learnt that Gideon forced the door open after calling Noah several times without getting any response. He reportedly met Noah dead.
The incident was said to have been reported to policemen at the Ilasan Police Station, who removed the corpse.
A relative of the deceased, who gave his name only as Amos, said he had visited Noah six days before the incident.
Amos explained that Noah told him he wished to travel to his hometown in Kaduna for Christmas, but that he did not have money.
Amos, who said he brought Noah to Lagos from Kaduna in July, told Saturday Punch that he advised the guard to wait till April 2019 and he agreed to do so.
He said, "I was the one who brought him to Lagos in January. I took him to my elder brother in Igbo Efan because where I lived could not accommodate both of us. He and my brother, Gideon, worked as cleaners and guards in the same compound and they lived in the same apartment in that house. He was paid N30,000 monthly.
"I usually called him. On Friday, November 16, when I visited him, he said he wanted to travel home for Christmas, but did not have money. I advised him to postpone it till April next year and that he would have had enough money by then. That was our last discussion.
"On Wednesday, November 22, Gideon called me and said Noah killed himself. I was shocked. According to my brother, they were both working that morning when he (Gideon) went on the street to buy food. He said he left money at home and returned to the room to get it. On getting to their room, he met the door locked.
"He knocked on the door but Noah did not answer. He then forced his way in and discovered that he was dead with a pair of electric cables on him. He plugged the cables in a socket. He wrapped one around his left hand and the other one around his neck. He was not married. I do not know why he would kill himself and my brother said he did not tell him anything prior to the incident. The only thing I know is that he was a quiet person."
Amos said Noah's corpse had been buried in Kaduna, adding that he was the first child of his parents.
He said there was no pressure on the 22-year-old from his mother or siblings even though their father was dead.
"Everybody was shocked. I checked his phone, but I could not find any strange information there and he did not drop any note before the incident," Amos added.
Efforts to reach Gideon proved abortive as his line indicated that it was not reachable. Amos, who had returned to Lagos, said he (Gideon) was still in the village, adding that the network was bad there.


We made the official decision to walk the Camino Francés on August 1st, 2017. The week before that, already deep in discussion with each other about when, where, and for how long to go, we'd had a FaceTime discussion with Harold (introduced by friends), who has walked the Camino 9 times starting at the age of 71! The result of that conversation created an impulse to jump right in and to buy our airline tickets. We were so enthused and excited. Michael and I tend to jump into things fairly quickly so this time we promised each other we'd wait for a week to see if we still felt as enthusiastic and certain about taking this giant leap of faith…..faith in our joint emotional and physical stamina! While we waited, we started physical training, planned what to bring, ordered our "Credencials de Peregrino" (from http://www.americanpilgrims.org), and ordered a great resource recommended by Harold, "A Guidebook to the Camino de Santiago," by John Brierly.
Brierly's Book – highly recommended!
Two separate credencial's. The one on the left is the one we used in Switzerland. The one on the right is the one we'll take to Spain. We still hope to complete the Swiss Camino.
The credential folds out accordion style. As you walk the Camino, you get stamps at the chapels, churches, and pilgrim hostels where you visit/stay at.
We started to train quite seriously; spending as much time on our feet as they would allow….shorter distances at first, slowly increasing over time and interspersing the walks with the odd aerobically challenging cycle. From this point on, every walk would be in the boots/trail shoes we would wear on the Camino and would include daypacks and filled-to-the-top camelbacks. On the first 2 days we were content with a 7.5 km and a 6 km walk (both on paved, level surfaces). After that, we started increasing the distance, terrain, and elevation gains of our walks/hikes. I soon discovered that the boots I was using, wouldn't cut it; my toes were constantly in pain from hitting the ends of my boots. Not only were the boots a bit too short, but my feet had grown accustomed (over the past 14 years of living in hot climates) to being in sandals and flip flops. Solution? New boots. I bought some Salomon trail shoes in a half-size larger than I would normally wear. At the same time, I purchased some super thin and silky liner socks and some merino wool over-socks. My feet love their new abodes and are now allowing me hikes of 24km!!
Lander, Wyoming is the perfect place to train for the Camino. Not only is it extraordinarily beautiful with a moderate climate, it has an abundance of hiking and biking trails all at ELEVATION….which is excellent….if I can hike steep uphills for 10 km at 7 – 9,000 feet, then I should find it a walk in the park at the lower elevations of the Pyrenees in Spain. One of our favorite places to hike is a park developed for mountain bikers, hikers, and horseback riders called "Johnny Behind the Rock." We also love Sinks Canyon. Here are a few pics.
JBTR Hike with Mike's Dad Marvin who's 88 this year!!
JBTR Red Ridge – a favorite trail of ours now!
Squaw/Baldwin Creek cycle – 25 km.
Hike up Sinks Canyon from the state campground all the way up to Fossil Rock. !0 km up and another 10 km down. If you enlarge the pic you will see the road as it hairpins up the mountain.
Another hike up Sinks Canyon from the state park but this time to Bruce's Campground up to the falls, a total distance of 14 km.
Taking a rest break looking out over the Popo Agie River (pronounced Poposhia).
At the top. You can see the falls top left of the pic but doesn't do them justice. This was our first hike with loaded backpacks.
Today, we hiked 11 km at "Johnny Behind the Rock" with fully loaded packs. I carried 21 lbs and Mike carried 25 lbs. Lots of ups and downs and we hiked without stopping. Took us three hours. We are pretty pleased with ourselves and oh-so-happy we started training when we did. Soon we'll be in Laramie, hiking in the Snowy Range which is at even higher elevations.

Q: On provability in modal logic Consider the classical modal logic $\mathsf K$, given by the following axioms and rules over a language containing the standard propositional connectives and $\Box$:

*

*A complete set of axiom schemes for classical propositional logic

*$\Box(\phi\rightarrow\psi)\rightarrow(\Box\phi\rightarrow\Box\psi)$

*From $\phi$ and $\phi\rightarrow\psi$, infer $\psi$

*From $\vdash\phi$, infer $\vdash\Box\phi$
The formulation of the necessitation rule shall mean that it should only be applied to theorems (to allow derivations from premises) where $\vdash$ denotes provability in $\mathsf K$.
It is well known that $\mathsf K$ is complete with respect to its classical Kripke semantics.
What I am interested in is the following metatheorem:
$$\text{If }\vdash\Box\phi\text{, then }\vdash\phi$$
It is the converse to the necessitation rule and a weakening of the principle $\Box\phi\rightarrow\phi$ (of course only valid in reflexive models) to theorems of the logic.
By appealing to the completeness theorem, it is obvious that it is valid, by assuming $\not\vdash\phi$, i.e. there is a countermodel for $\phi$ and transforming this into a countermodel of $\Box\phi$.
This means that the rule is admissible in $\mathsf K$. My question is if there is a proof of the metatheorem which just appeal to the proof system $\mathsf K$ and not to any semantic issue.

The frame features 7000-series hydroformed aluminum with sophisticated shaping that adds reinforcement only where it's needed, thereby reducing the overall amount of materials used. The geometry is tuned for eMTB riding with short chainstays and an upright trail position, and pulls double duty with clearance for 29-inch and 27.5-inch plus wheels.

The drive system's compact display fits easily with other controls on the handlebars and features Bluetooth/ant+ compatibility for convenient wireless customization.


CLAYTON — The City Council moved along quietly on Tuesday without embattled Vice Mayor Joe Medrano, who resigned from council the previous day after his conviction for felony embezzlement.
With Medrano gone and David Shuey absent Tuesday, the meeting started a few minutes late as the council waited for a third member to arrive. The council must have a quorum of three members to hold a meeting.
Medrano's council name plate was missing from the dais, and there was little public mention of his departure.
City Attorney Malathy Subramanian made a brief statement saying the city had received Medrano's resignation notice on Monday. No council members publicly acknowledged the conviction or resignation.
On Oct. 11, a jury in Redwood City found Medrano guilty of one count of felony embezzlement. Medrano, an insurance broker, was accused of taking $159,000 from a client and not forwarding it to the insurance company.
He pleaded not guilty and ran for re-election despite the pending criminal trial. Medrano faces a maximum of four years in state prison and will be sentenced Dec. 12.
His name will remain on the Nov. 6 ballot along with four other candidates running for three seats.
"Instead of five candidates there's now four," said challenger Kevin Liberman after Tuesday's meeting.
Incumbents Julie Pierce and Howard Geller are also candidates in the Nov. 6 election.
It appears the council will operate with four members until a fifth is sworn in at a meeting in December.
In a statement, Medrano said he will file an appeal and expects the verdict to be reversed.
"I am blessed to live in a community that cares about me as much as I care about them," wrote Medrano.
In other council news, final revenue figures exceeded projections in the June 30 budget by $287,374, thanks in part to a boost in property taxes, building permit fees and redevelopment property tax trust fund distribution.
"This is quite a remarkable occurrence given today's time and economy," Finance Manager Merry Pelletier told council members.

Q: What are the differences between these two Apple TV models? I have some Visa points which I am considering spending on an Apple TV.
According to my bank's website, Apple TV model they offer is MD199C/A. This seems to correspond to what Apple calls the Order Number (which is not the same as what Apple calls the Model Number).
Using Mactracker, I found that the latest 3rd Generation Apple TV's Order Number is MD199LL/A, which is a bit different from what the bank's website is saying, although quite similar.
Does anyone know if the Apple TV with the Order Number MD199C/A is the latest, 3rd generation model? What is the difference between MD199C/A and MD199LL/A, if any?
Many thanks in advance.

A: Are you in Canada by any chance? The MD199C/A code seems to be for the 3rd generation Apple TV in Canada, whereas the -LL/A code is the part number in the US. I'm not aware of any differences between the two (other than the limitations on Canadian iTunes, such as more limited iCloud TV/Movie accessibility).
You can verify these numbers by adding the Apple TV to your cart in the US or Canadian online Apple Stores.


MASSACHUSETTS lawmakers are considering an unusual bill to abolish Boston's 13-member school committee and give the mayor control of the city's schools. The measure, proposed by Boston Mayor Raymond Flynn, would transform the elected school board into a department under the mayor's authority - similar to the city police or fire department. The panel has long been criticized as too unwieldy and politically influenced to be an effective policymaking body.
"The present structure does not work," Mayor Flynn said at a recent public hearing. It "does not provide the level of accountability to the parents and the schoolchildren of this city." The committee has also been blasted for its lagging search for a new school superintendent. Boston's last superintendent, Laval Wilson, was dismissed in February 1990.
Flynn's legislation was approved earlier by the Boston City Council. Under the plan, the mayor would appoint a superintendent who would be responsible for the day-to-day management of the schools. The measure must pass both houses of the legislature and be signed by the governor to become law.
Flynn says the current structure lacks "accountability" because no one is really held responsible for balancing the budget or carrying out decisions. Under the present system, for example, the school committee draws up a budget and spends the money, but the mayor is responsible for raising the funds. As a result, there is little control over school-committee spending.
Unlike Boston's, most city school boards in the United States are elected and fiscally independent, say education experts. Samuel Tyler, director of the Boston Municipal Research Bureau, a city watchdog agency, said his organization conducted a study of 25 school-board systems around the US in 1989. The study found that in other school systems with elected boards, the board itself usually has the power to raise taxes or issue bonds to raise money. But this is not the case in Boston.
"You will not find another system in the country that operates in the same way," Mr. Tyler says. "Boston really has a blurring of accountability."
Baltimore and Philadelphia have all-appointed school boards that have worked well, Tyler says. Chicago and the state of Kentucky, on the other hand, have decentralized school governance so that committee members have greater control over schools at the district level.
Boston seems to be moving in the opposite direction of the decentralization trend, says Harold Seamon, deputy executive director of the National School Boards Association. There is no other school board in the country like the one proposed by Flynn, Mr. Seamon says.
The idea is controversial. Boston's minority community, in particular, says the mayor's proposal is undemocratic. Eighty percent of Boston's students are members of minorities. "We need a school committee that is reflective of the children who attend the schools," says Jean McGuire, a school-committee member.
Despite the lack of support for the mayor's proposal, there is general agreement that something must be done. Several proposals have been put forth, including an all-appointed seven-member school board or a combination elected and appointed board. Flynn originally won support for a seven-member, all-appointed board in a nonbinding referendum last November but backed away from the move after protests from the minority community.
Critics complain that while the school committee spends lavishly on extra staff and special programs, the system is still a failure, with a dropout rate at 40 percent. Last year, the panel spent $471 million on its 55,106 students, which amounts to $8,545 per student enrolled, says John Silber, president of Boston University.
Each school-committee member gets $52,299 a year to spend on personal staff, a large budget compared to other city school boards, Mr. Tyler says. Critics say the school board has thus deteriorated into a political patronage system. In Boston, all 13 members are elected for two-year terms every two years at the same time.


Regenis anaerobic digesters are at the center of a quiet revolution that enables us to convert waste management and environmental problems into renewable, revenue-generating products. Using Regenis digesters and manure management tools, we can turn dairy waste into commercially profitable renewable natural gas (RNG) for growing fleets of natural gas vehicles, bio-fertilizers, a fibrous soil amendment, and carbon credits – replacing unsustainable, high-carbon fossil fuels, imported chemical fertilizers, and peat moss trucked from central Canada. Regenis provides the tools for next generation stewardship.

Bracing for Jurassic World: My Personal History with the Raptors
Just like every other moviegoer on the planet, I had a blast attending the theatrical opening of Jurassic Park in 1993. I remember laughing for joy at the blissful terror of the T-Rex's entrance, and laughing even harder when I saw my friends Eric and Matt crawling under their seats. But I was having fun in spite of the movie's screenplay, which felt cheap and sentimental even for Spielberg at the time. I thought then — and I still think… Read more

NCAA president tells athletic directors students trying to get paid is 'existential threat' to model: report
By Ryan Gaydos | Fox News
Buttigieg: Being a college football fan is morally 'problematic'
South Bend mayor says the amateur model is 'not fair' to college athletes; Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren weighs in.
NCAA President Mark Emmert reportedly told athletic directors Tuesday that giving student-athletes the right to capitalize on their name, image and likeness poses an "existential threat" to college athletics.
Emmert met with a group of Division 1 athletic directors, CBS Sports reported, discussing the "single biggest issue" in college athletics – the debate over whether student-athletes should be able to make a profit on their name, image and likeness while playing NCAA athletics.
PETE BUTTIGIEG SAYS COLLEGE FOOTBALL MODEL, NOT PAYING ATHLETES IS 'PROBLEMATIC': REPORT
"My personal view is folks in general think that every student-athlete is going to be making hundreds of thousands of dollars," Emmert told CBS Sports. "One or two will be making some significant amount of money. Nobody else will."

Emmert also expressed the difficulty of working with players to help them receive compensation.
"You've got 50 different states with 50 different labor law rules," Emmert told CBS Sports. "If you move into what are, in essence, labor negotiations, you have to do that state-by-state … It just falls apart in its complexity."
NCAA TELLS CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR COLLEGE ATHLETE 'FAIR PAY' BILL IS 'UNCONSTITUTIONAL'
The NCAA may have a problem on their hands thanks to California.
The state Assembly earlier this month voted 72-0 to pass a bill that would allow college athletes in California to profit from their name, image and likeness. The state Senate passed the measure 39-0.
California is home to 58 NCAA-member schools, the NCAA said, including powerhouse programs at USC, Stanford and UCLA. California Gov. Gavin Newsom has 30 days to sign or veto the legislation. If he does nothing, the bill becomes law.
The NCAA warned Newsom that allowing the bill to pass would upend the balance of college sports. The NCAA has asked Newsom to reject the bill – which he had 30 days to pass.
Membership of the NCAA, the top governing body for college sports, is voluntary. Athletes can get valuable scholarships, but the NCAA has long banned paying athletes to preserve the academic missions of colleges and universities.

NCAA SHOULD PAY COLLEGE ATHLETES, KENTUCKY GOVERNOR SAYS
"It would erase the critical distinction between college and professional athletics," the NCAA Board Of Governors said in a letter to the Democratic governor. "These outcomes are untenable and would negatively impact more than 24,000 California student-athletes across three divisions."
The debate over paying college athletes has raged in recent years as some schools rake in millions from their athletic programs -- mostly from football and basketball. Many college basketball athletes have left school early to sign lucrative NBA contracts.
The league now requires players to be at least one year removed from high school before entering the draft.
The NCAA has a history of coming down hard on players for receiving compensation or gifts of any kind.
Donald De La Haye, a former University of Central Florida kicker, had his football scholarship taken away by the school in 2017 because of the revenue he was generating from his YouTube channel. The NCAA determined his videos were a violation of eligibility rules, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel got into trouble with the NCAA for allegedly signing autographs for money. He was suspended for the first half of the first game of the 2013 season for violating an NCAA bylaw about athletes' use of names and images, but it was later made clear Manziel didn't receive money for the autographs.
