The Grave Jinglers
Instructor: Tom Piscitelli, Singer/Songwriter/Guitar/Drums
The Grave Jinglers are an Alternative Country/Rock band powered by frontman Doc Reinhart (Tom Piscitelli), an ex-medical doctor turned musician who started the project in 2011. The term "Grave Jingler," could be taken as a representation of those who have figuratively returned from the dead or have awakened. In that way, anyone could be a "Grave Jingler." Aside from any spiritual overtones, Doc's music has been heard on The Disney Channel ("Don't Waste My Time"), featured in the Sony distributed independent film "What Happened Last Night," and has received stellar reviews. Skope magazine says, "It's hard not to appreciate good songwriting like this." They have played at notable venues such as The Paramount in Huntington and are preparing to release a new album this year with the ten times platinum record producer Russell Desalvo. Go to www.thegravejinglers.com and join the mailing list for a free download of their previous album, "Reign of the West" and to receive updates on the upcoming release!

Instructor: Eddie Becker, Guitar
It started with an idea… to make music that was raw and organic, filled with energy, melody and bite. Veteran rockers Michael Artale (founding member of the band Constricted) and Jared Feldman (founding drummer of the band Dead Superstar) had taken their bar-room chatter and founded a new band with just a name, "Everest" and an mantra: "The Only Way Out Is Up". Everest was influenced by the sounds that the legends of music left behind. With groovy hooks and an undeniable heaviness it's no wonder they sought out lead guitarist Eddie Becker to flesh out their new sound. Eddie brought the missing ingredient to the recipe that is Everest. Now with the flash of an old school lead shredder, and Eddie's larger than life stage presence Everest was ready. Everest began to rise up, excited by the songs they were crafting in the studio. Their first single "Loaded" was born from the ashes of the emotion, surrounding the band member's lives. The vibe was heavy, and powerful. Arresting vocals, pounding drums, and wailing guitars over grooving rhythms that catch the listener and take off into an anthemic chorus, "Everybody get Loaded, Everybody be free". Then along comes single number two "Take A Ride", a burning rock number with a groove that cooks with dirty rhythms and lead guitars that draw you in. Everest beckons "Come Take A Ride With Me Now". Now is the time for Everest music to be shared with the world. With a team of music industry pros Engineer Dan Leo, Producer Frank "Bones" Laudicina (Down The Drain Productions), Promotional & Marketing Guru Tom 'Smitty' Smith and Video Director Kirk Farrington, Everest is ready to launch a campaign of songs and music videos. With a release date of 2/13/18 for the single Loaded, Everest is set to take off online, on radio, in video and live. The video and single for Take a Ride will follow in the spring of 2018, along with an EP release. A full collection of songs and a tour scheduled for the summer of 2018.

Painted In Exile
Instructor: Marc Lambert, Guitar
Over more than a decade, Painted In Exile have earned themselves worldwide attention and critical acclaim as one of Progressive Metal's most versatile and top contending bands – all without the help of a record label. Almost all of its members have graduated with varying music degrees from some of the top Music Schools and Conservatories in the U.S, further helping them to seamlessly incorporate styles ranging anywhere from Jazz, to Heavy Metal, and even Hip-Hop, often into the same piece of music. After their explosive 'Revitalized' EP in 2009, the band successfully crowdfunded over $15,000 for their long-awaited and highly-anticipated debut album 'The Ordeal' in 2016, which they recorded with legendary producer Jamie King. Earning them publications in both national and international magazines, they then immediately went on to begin touring the United States and Canada in support of international acts such as Scar Symmetry (Sweden), Plini (Australia), Intervals (Canada), and Arsis (U.S.). The band continues to thrive in their individual music careers as performers, composers, and educators as well.
Robert Richards: Vocals, Marc Lambert: Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Ivan Chopik: Guitars, Jacob Umansky: Bass & Backing Vocals, Alan Hankers: Piano & Keyboards, Eddie DeCesara: Drums & Percussion

The Columnist – Review
The pen is mightier than the sword, or so the saying goes, but sometimes you just can't beat sticking a troll with the pointy end. This is the basic idea behind Dutch director Ivo Van Aart and writer Daan Windhorst's The Columnist, a darker than dark satire that radically imagines a scenario where a liberal journalist takes bloody revenge on the incels, trolls, and cyberbullies who stalk internet forums and Twitter to make her life hell. The result may be lacking any concrete answers to the questions it poses around free speech, accountability, and social media's vice-like grip on society, but – speaking as a film critic who has been on the tail end of more than my fair share of online abuse – what Van Aart's film lacks in depth, it more than makes up for in stylised silliness and troll-thwacking thrills.
Katja Herbers stars as Femke Boot, a liberal journalist at a Dutch newspaper who finds herself subject to death threats and obscene, sexist comments online when she pens a column suggesting blackface donning Dutch folkloric figure Zwarte Piet should be cancelled. Struggling with writer's block as her boss pushes her to pen more pieces that will 'cause a stir' and help the rag compete with the grim writings of horror author Steven Dood (Bram van der Kelen), who Femke finds herself embarking on a romantic affair with after realising the Goth harbinger of death persona is all an act, the frustrated journalist is increasingly driven to distraction by the dings and screen-flashes of Twitter beckoning her to read the latest comment labelling her a cunt and a paedophile. Van Aart's film makes a clear point of showing how Femke contributes to her own misery by entertaining the trolls through interaction with their slanderous comments, but even as her new boyfriend and her daughter – who is fighting a battle of her own against her archaic headteacher – repeatedly tell her to switch off, we see her time and again fail to resist scratching that particularly painful itch. Is ignoring the haters the answer? Sure, it would stop those on the receiving end having to see the abusive comments. But even if a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around to hear it, if someone has cut it down out of malice and spite, they should be held to account, no?
When Femke realises one of her aggressors is her noisy next-door neighbour, a moment of madness prompts her to climb out of her writing room window, tiptoe along her guttering, and push the unsuspecting knuckle-dragger to his death. Van Aart presents Femke's first killing, and the many that follow as she becomes perpetrator of 'The Middle Finger Murders', in a blunt, detached fashion that adds to the oddball humour of proceedings. There is such a matter-of-factness in Herbers' acting as she pushes him, spots a shovel, and promptly hacks off his once-weaponised middle digit, that there's an almost Yorgos Lanthimos reminiscent surrealism to the deed. As Femke then proceeds to stalk more of her tormentors, bumping them off in myriad bloody ways as she crusades against being silenced by permanently silencing her critics, her detachment from reality and any sense of consequence mirrors the stylistic sensibilities of the filmmaker. The extremity of Femke's revenge is presented, in a very tongue-in-cheek manner, as the apotheosis of right-wing trolls' greatest fear – that liberal progressivism is a direct attempt to destroy their lives. It is also though a pointed jab at the hypocrisy of advocating for free speech whilst actively trying to silence those whose opinions differ from our own. Van Aart is having far too much fun with silly murders and blunt metaphors to really pick apart the nuances of the points he so broadly makes, but he does make them nevertheless.
Whilst The Columnist fails to develop effectively its array of observations about the state of today's society, its portrayal of a wolf-in-sheep's clothing (Femke), a sheep-in-wolf's clothing (Steven), and the great swathes of would-be anonymous trolls who say online things they'd never dream of in person as they lead otherwise outwardly ordinary lives does add up to something resembling a moral message on judging books by their covers. People say hateful things without being hateful people, and people also preach liberal values whilst indulging in deeply antithetical, illiberal behaviour. Though Daan Windhorst's screenplay broaches these ideas in the very broadest of strokes, dedicating more focus on delivering nifty witticisms and cult-status beckoning one liners such as 'you called the wrong fucking whore a fucking whore', their presence is a conversation starter nevertheless.
Buoyed by a brilliantly psychotic central performance from Katja Herbers, a manic energy that keeps you guessing right up until the film's Black Mirror like finale, and a jumping off point that captures in exaggerated machinations our current moment as Schumacher's Falling Down did some thirty-odd years ago, The Columnist just about gets away with murder.
The Columnist is out on VOD now.

Paul Benkeser, Ph.D.
For significant contributions to the field of ultrasonic bioengineering and biomedical engineering education.
Paul Benkeser, Ph.D: Reflections of the Outgoing Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies
Via Pioneer | November 1, 2011
Stemming from the tremendous growth of the department, several changes were made within the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering's administration faculty shortly before the commencement of the 2011-2012 academic year. Paul Benkeser, Ph.D. was the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies for almost ten years, and has been with the Coulter Department since its creation in 1997. Benkeser is now the current Senior Associate Chair for Operations. In this position, Benkeser will work together with the Department Chair, Larry McIntire, Ph.D. in providing greater oversight on operations throughout the department while addressing needs more efficiently. His previous position is now held by Associate Professor Joseph LeDoux, Ph.D.

Over the past decade, Benkeser oversaw the creation of the undergraduate curriculum for biomedical engineering, was instrumental in providing a vision for the department, and laid the groundwork for the integration of the successful problem based learning (PBL) education model into the curriculum. With the rest of the faculty available at the time, Benkeser began to conceive an undergraduate curriculum while simultaneously hiring faculty. As he reflects on being the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies, Benkeser says, "A lot of time and effort has gone into shaping individual courses and the curriculum as a whole. It was made through a partnership of faculty, students, and now a sizable number of alumni that have all contributed to what we now call the undergraduate program."

2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season Recap
The 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season ends on November 30. 2021 observed above average activity with 21 named storms.

2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season Names
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The 2021 Hurricane Season ends Tuesday, November 30. 2021 was an above average year with respect to tropical activity. All 21 names on this year's list were used. Of the 21 named storms, 7 became hurricanes and 4 were major hurricanes (category 3 or greater). The KIII pre-season (May) forecast called for 20 named storms, 10 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.
KIII Forecast vs What was Observed
Tropical Storm Nicholas was the storm that passed closest to the Coastal Bend; although impacts very minimal. Nicholas eventually became a category 1 hurricane before making landfall along the upper Texas Gulf Coast in September. The strongest storm of the season was Sam - a category 4 (155 mph) hurricane that traversed much of the open Atlantic from late September to early October. The most impactful storm of the season was likely IDA, slamming the Louisiana Coast in late August as a Major Hurricane.

Colorado State University ACE Index
Hurricane Sam was responsible for almost 40% of 2021's Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE). ACE is a metric defined as "The ACE index is a wind energy index, defined as the sum of the squares of the maximum sustained surface wind speed (knots) measured every six hours for all named storms while they are at least tropical storm intensity." by NOAA. the ACE for 2021 was above normal, but not as high as 2020.
2021 Accumulated Cyclone Energy
According to Wikipedia, the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane season was the 4th most costly on record at 70.543 billion dollars. 2017, 2005, and 2012 are the three most costly years. The U.S. absorbed 8 landfalling storms - Claudette, Danny, Elsa, Fred, Henri, Ida, Mindy, and Nicholas.

Q: C++ lambda const value reference got deleted in thread I have encountered the following situation:
void Plugin::sendMessage(const QString& jid, const QString &message) {
    qDebug() << "SENDING TO JID1: " << jid;
    QtConcurrent::run([&, this]() {
        qDebug() << "SENDING TO JID2: " << jid;
    }
}

produces next output:

SENDING TO JID1:  "test@xmpp.org"
SENDING TO JID2:  "

and then it crashes. It looks like jid is no longer exists in the lambda, but why? How then can I use the variables by references in this code?

A: If you are coming from Java background, note that references in C++ and Java mean something very different. In Java references are garbage collected and therefore it is easy to prolong their lifetime as needed. In C++ there is no garbage collection and a reference variable lifetime has little relation to the lifetime of the referenced object.
See also C++ References and Java References or Programmers Why do C++ and Java both use the notion of "reference" but not in the same sense?  for some more explanation.

Early approval expected in De Beers deal
February 9, 2001 by JCK Magazine
The $16 billion takeover of De Beers by Anglo American and South Africa's Oppenheimer family is set to be confirmed as early as next week, The Times of London reported Friday.
An announcement of the deal now hinges only on the formal approval of South Africa's Reserve Bank, which is understood to have assured both companies that it will back the arrangement, the newspaper reported.
It is believed that De Beers's shareholders will receive mostly Anglo American paper in return for their stock, with cash comprising only a small part of the payment, the newspaper reported.
It was revealed last week that Anglo American and the Oppenheimers would each emerge with 45% of De Beers under a proposal being discussed between the stalwarts of the South African mining industry. Debswana Diamond Co, De Beer's biggest diamond supplier, will hold the remaining 10%.
The deal involves De Beers distributing its 35% stake in Anglo American among its shareholders, who will also receive additional Anglo American shares and some cash to take the value of the offer to about $40 per De Beers share.
The financing arrangements have not been disclosed, the newspaper reported. But it is believed that the Oppenheimers will see their 7.2% interest in Anglo American reduced, possibly to 5% as part of the agreement.
Nicky Oppenheimer, the De Beers chairman, is expected to retain managerial control of the diamond miner and marketer.
David Bird, an analyst with ABN Amro, said Anglo American, which holds 32% of De Beers, could inherit up to $2 billion of its own stock as a result of the deal, the newspaper reported.
It is understood that Anglo American is confident that it can resolve De Beers's anti-trust dispute in the United States, which could see De Beers directors arrested if they travel to America, the newspaper reported.
