Grigory Yavlinsky: " Boris Nemtsov's murder resembles a showcase execution"
Press Release, 3.03.2015
Grigory Yavlinsky said that Boris Nemtsov's murder resembled a showcase execution. He made this statement when answering questions from journalists after the funeral of Boris Nemtsov at the Troyekurovskoye cemetery.
Grigory Yavlinsky noted: "Boris Nemtsov's murder resembles a showcase execution in the form of an act of terror. Executions are always carried out publicly to intimidate. He was murdered because he expressed his views openly. He also said that Russia should not fight against Ukraine, and that Russians should not kill Ukrainians and Ukrainians should not kill Russians. He was killed for such statements, in a bid to silence everybody else, so that everyone would stay silent out of fear."
Previously YABLOKO's founder declared that political responsibility for this act lay fairly and squarely with "the authorities in general and President Putin in particular – with the people who started the war, conducted the war and implemented a propaganda campaign of hate in support of the war."In the morning Grigory Yavlinsky took part together with YABLOKO Chairman Sergei Mitrokhin in the mourning ceremony at the Sakharov Center.

On Sunday, the second episode of the new season of the PokerStars "Million Dollar Challenge" aired on Fox. The program flanks NFL coverage on the network and features PokerStars pro Daniel Negreanu coaching and then playing against online qualifiers. This week, sign language interpreter Carmenlita Cothron tested her luck.
In the first round, Cothron squared off against celebrity defender John Elway, a former Super Bowl winning quarterback with the Denver Broncos. Cothron and Elway each began with 20,000 in chips and the qualifier received one time out to consult with Negreanu. Elway doubled up after falling behind early, moving all-in for his last 1,800 in chips with K-Q suited on a 9-10-Q-Q board. Cothron called behind with J-9 for bottom pair and an open-ended straight draw, but another nine on the river gave Elway a higher boat.
In the final hand of the first round, Elway moved all-in before the flop with J-4 of diamonds and Cothron called with A-3. The board fell Q-K-6-2-5 and Cothron earned a $5,000 trip to the Bahamas for next year's PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.
Next up for Cothron was a PokerStars sponsored pro, 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event winner Chris Moneymaker, who ignited the modern poker boom. Negreanu moved from being seated alongside the qualifier to taking his place in an isolation booth. Negreanu could see Cothron's hole cards and feed her advice through an earpiece, while Moneymaker could axe all communication between the two by calling for the "Dome of Silence" twice during the match.
In a key hand, Cothron raised to 1,600 pre-flop with pocket eights and Moneymaker called behind with 8-5 of clubs. The flop came 2-3-4 with one club and Moneymaker check-called a bet of 1,600. The turn brought a second club to the board, giving Moneymaker flush and straight draws, and he check-raised all-in for 19,600. Moneymaker also quickly invoked the "Dome of Silence," but Cothron called and her pair of eights held to take a 6:1 chip lead.
There was virtually no action shown from the final heads-up match. In the final hand, Cothron raised to 2,000 pre-flop with Q-10 and Negreanu called with J-9 of hearts. The flop came 9-4-4 and Negreanu check-raised to 8,000 with nines-up. Cothron called despite having just queen-high, but lucked out when a lady hit on the turn. Negreanu open-shoved all-in for 9,200 and Cothron called with queens-up, leaving "Kid Poker" drawing thin to the river. The final card was a king and Cothron banked $100,000. She also earned a seat in the Tournament of Champions at the end of the season. That table's winner will face Negreanu heads-up for $1 million.
The "Million Dollar Challenge" was PokerStars' answer to Full Tilt Poker's "Face the Ace." The latter lasted only one season and resulted in a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Brandon McSmith in Las Vegas. The "Million Dollar Challenge" will return with an all-new episode on October 10th on Fox, so check your local listings for more information.

Atheistic Cosmological Argument
[ Român / Romanian ]
In recent years, Quentin Smith has tried to turn the tables on theists by arguing that Big Bang cosmology, if true, is evidence for atheism. This page highlights the relevant articles that are available online.
Atheism, Theism, and Big Bang Cosmology (1991) by Quentin Smith
Smith argues that the Big Bang theory is incompatible with Christian theism and other theist perspectives.
A Big Bang Cosmological Argument For God's Nonexistence (1992) by Quentin Smith
Smith argues that it is unreasonable to believe that God created the big bang.
Book Review: Theism, Atheism, and Big Bang Cosmology (1996) by Graham Oppy
"The book is composed mainly of previously published pieces. [...] Given the cost of the book and the accessibility of the prior publications, it seems to me that this is not exactly value for money."
Can Everything Come to Be Without a Cause? (1994) by Quentin Smith
A refutation of T. D. Sullivan's claim that it is impossible for the universe to come to be without a cause. In the course of arguing that it is possible that the universe came to be causelessly, Smith outlines an argument that it is necessary that the universe began with a big-bang singularity if it began causelessly.
A Cosmological Argument for a Self-Caused Universe (Great Debate) (2008) by Quentin Smith
Quentin Smith challenges the view that naturalism leaves nature unexplained by arguing that the universe explains itself. Since space and time break down at the Big Bang singularity, there was no first instant--no earliest instant of time--of the finitely old time-series that makes up the universe. Each instantaneous state in any earliest interval is caused to exist and hence explained by earlier instantaneous states, leaving no logical space for God or any other external cause of the universe. Moreover, the contingency of the universe does not entail that there is no reason for its existence; every part of the universe has a reason in earlier parts, and the universe as a whole has a reason in the existence of its parts. Furthermore, there is a concrete sequence of causes and effects that actualized the possibility of a universe at least 15 billion years old and at least 13 billion light years in radius. This is why our universe exists rather than some other imaginable one.
Objections to Smith's Cosmological Argument (Great Debate) (2008) by Robin Collins
In his opening case Quentin Smith argues that the existence of the universe is self-explanatory because it is self-caused, and that this conclusion is inconsistent with theism. However, to be consistent with his principle that a causal explanation of each part of the universe logically explains the existence of the whole, and that the Big Bang caused the sequence of states following it, he must claim that the Big Bang provides an additional explanation of the sequence of states following it. But then the theist can claim that this is the sort of additional explanation that God provides for the existence of the universe, and that God is essential to providing a complete explanation of our universe, even though the universe contains no beginning point. Moreover, Smith's explanation of the existence of the universe may be fatally circular, or lead to an infinite regress where, no matter what part one starts with, the part of the universe doing the explaining is always further in need of an explanation--until one posits God to close the regress.
Collins on Cannons and Cosmology (Great Debate) (2008) by Paul Draper and Quentin Smith
In his opening argument, Quentin Smith argued that universe explains its own existence, without remainder, even if the universe has a finite age, for the state of the universe at any particular moment is sufficiently caused by all of its preceding states. Since this complete explanation makes no reference to God, Smith argued, insofar as God is by definition a part of any complete explanation of the universe, God does not exist. In his response, Robin Collins cited the flight of a cannonball as a counterexample to Smith's line of reasoning, but the counterexample is not analogous; unlike the universe, the flight of the cannonball does not have a historically complete explanation in terms of earlier parts of that flight. Being charitable to Collins, however, it is possible that although the universe has no first moment in physical time, it may in some metaphysical time series, allowing one to make room for God in a complete metaphysical explanation of the universe. Smith's argument, then, might not demonstrate the nonexistence of God, but it nevertheless provides a probabilistic argument against the existence of God. And on Collins' own "likelihood principle," the fact that our best scientific theory of the origin and evolution of the universe supports a self-caused universe is much more likely on naturalism than on theism, and thus provides very strong evidence for naturalism over theism.
Two Ways of Proving Atheism (1996) by Quentin Smith
This is the transcript of a speech given before the 1996 Atheist Alliance Convention. Smith discusses two ways to prove atheism: scientific cosmology and gratuitous evil.
Internal and External Causal Explanations of the Universe (1995) by Quentin Smith
Citing both philosophical considerations and modern day physics, Smith argues that "it is nomologically necessary that a beginningless universe has an internal causal explanation (be it deterministic or probabilistic) but no external causal explanation."
On the Argument from Quantum Cosmology Against Theism (1995) by Ned Markosian
In a recent article, Quentin Smith argues that classical theism is inconsistent with certain consequences of Stephen Hawking's quantum cosmology. Although I am not a theist, it seems to me that Smith's argument fails to establish its conclusion. The purpose of this paper is to show what is wrong with Smith's argument.
On Some Alleged Consequences Of 'The Hartle-Hawking Cosmology' (1997) by Graham Oppy
In a recent article, Quentin Smith argues that 'the Hartle-Hawking Cosmology' is inconsistent with classical theism. Oppy argues that a central premise in Smith's argument is incoherent.
Naturalism vs. Theism: The Carrier-Wanchick Debate (2006)
In this online debate between Richard Carrier and Tom Wanchick, Carrier opens with a discussion of method followed by 5 arguments for naturalism and 2 arguments against theism, while Wanchick opens with 9 arguments for theism. In the first rebuttals, each debater criticizes the arguments offered by the other in the opening statements. In the second rebuttals, each debater defends their opening arguments against the criticisms of the other in the first rebuttals. Both closing statements focus on the purported deficiencies of the other debater's overall case.
Quantum Cosmology's Implication of Atheism (1997) by Quentin Smith
Smith argues that quantum cosmology implies atheism.
Simplicity and Why the Universe Exists (1997) by Quentin Smith
Smith defends his atheistic cosmological argument which claims that big bang cosmology is evidence for atheism over theism.
Stephen Hawking's Cosmology and Theism (1994) by Quentin Smith
Stephen Hawking has recently argued that there is 'no place for a creator,' that God does not exist. Yet theists have jumped all over this statement, claiming it blatantly fails as an argument for God's nonexistence. Specifically, they have argued that even if Hawking's physical laws are true, that fact does not entail that the God of classical theism does not exist or even disconfirm the classical theistic hypothesis. It seems to me that a case can be made that Hawking's physical laws are inconsistent with classical theism. I shall develop an argument to this effect in the present paper. Although this argument is not explicit in Hawking's writings, it is arguably implicit in or based upon his theory. I shall argue that the proposition, "Hawking's wave function law obtains," entails the proposition that "God does not exist."
The Uncaused Beginning of the Universe (1988) by Quentin Smith
There is sufficient evidence at present to justify the belief that the universe began to exist without being caused to do so.
Why (Almost All) Cosmologists are Atheists (2003) by Sean M. Carroll
Although the sorts of claims that science and religion make about the fundamental workings of the universe are compatible in principle, in practice they diverge. Using scientific methods to discriminate between fundamental pictures of reality leads one to a strictly materialist conception of the universe. Modern cosmology provides interesting clues about how an ultimate picture of the universe may be constructed.

Spring Tube's 145th release is the next full single of the tracks from our latest sampler and it's by one of our residents - Telekollektiv. Just to remind - this is the youngest alter ego of Jacek Gumbisz aka Monojoke. After presenting with us his 'Personal Space' compilation album 6 months back this is the first Telekollektiv's single on Spring Tube.
"Robot Noir" is one of the most successful Telekollektiv's works at the moment and we intend to extend its success with couple of great remixes on it by two of our other prominent regulars - Da Funk and Electricano, who both did here their best to deliver two splendid different interpretations on this theme.

Alternate fuels are gaining favor
By The Whittier Daily News |
PUBLISHED: September 23, 2007 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 30, 2017 at 2:08 a.m.
OJAI VALLEY – A diesel mechanic for years, Joel Woolf was preparing a speech about his job when he brushed up on diesel engine history and learned the engines ran on peanut oil when first introduced at the 1900 Paris World's Fair.
Woolf started testing vegetable oil as fuel with engines in his own backyard. He and his wife, Rebecca, were astounded when they discovered the liquid easily worked as an alternative to diesel fuel.
"It was an awakening," said Rebecca, who with her husband runs Veg Powered Systems, which converts diesel engines to run on recycled vegetable oil. "It's about not waiting for big companies or government to hand us answers. It's about individuals seeking answers."
Whether corn, soy, vegetable oil or animal fats, alternative fuels are emerging as a competitor to traditional gasoline. And they are also growing in popularity among consumers as oil prices have soared.
It is uncertain though if alternate fuel businesses will ever triumph over the oil industry.
Some motorists have begun bucking the mainstream and trying alternatives — from hybrid cars to experimental fuels made from cashew nuts, sunflower seeds or algae.
"We are in a transition," said Jack Kyser, chief economist from the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp. "We're not there yet. We haven't found the answer."
While there has been little room for such alternatives to seriously evolve in a country so reliant on oil, in recent years the oil industry has felt growing pressure as refineries age.
The 143 major U.S. refineries can pump out a total of 17 million barrels of crude oil a day. But not a single major U.S. refinery has been built since 1976, and there are no plans for any — largely because of public opposition and a $3 billion startup cost. Oil companies are bolstering their existing refineries, said Ray Connolly, a spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute.
But despite the alternative fuel problems, they are gaining ground with consumers and some businesses.
More than 75 million gallons of biodiesel — a fuel produced from oil or fats — were sold in 2005, up from just 500,000 gallons in 1999, according to the National Biodiesel Board.
Annalloyd Thomason, executive director of the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Institute, wants to see big companies buy out and invest in the alternative-fuels industry.
The Las Vegas-based company has specialized in development and use of alternative fuels such as compressed natural gas for fleets.
"I'm waiting for the day we get bought out by the big companies," Thomason said. "They'll come in after we've done all the heavy lifting."

DK Metcalf comps: The good, the bad and the ugly Part II
By John P. Gilbert@JohnPGilbertNFL Jul 14, 2019, 9:00am PDT
Share All sharing options for: DK Metcalf comps: The good, the bad and the ugly Part II
Friday I started into a three part look at wide receivers across the NFL who compare physically and athletically to second round pick of the Seattle Seahawks DK Metcalf. The first part looked at the twelve players who comped out similarly, and who had the lowest levels of production during their NFL careers. Those were obviously the ugly portion of the good, the bad and the ugly mentioned in the title, and today we move into the bad.
This group is not as clear cut as the group at the bottom, as there are a couple of players still in the middle of their careers who could move up based on what they do from here forward. In addition, this group is not simply based on production as the first group from Friday was. Specifically, there are two players who would be in this group if the grouping were solely determined by career production in terms of yards. However, because of draft position and the fact that the second player is still not only still playing, but still young enough that their best days could be in front of them, I made the decision to bump that player into the good classification and we'll include him in Monday's group.
In any case, without beating around the bush anymore, here are the five wide receivers I would classify as the bad.

Legedu Naanee 74 225 4.41 40 19 119 6.73* 4.20*
From that group the two players who have had the most success were Michael Floyd and Cordarrelle Patterson, but based on the fact that they were each first round picks, their careers have been somewhat disappointing. After four years with the Minnesota Vikings, Patterson signed with the Chicago Bears as a free agent this spring, marking his fourth team in four seasons after having spent 2018 with the New England Patriots and 2017 with the Oakland Raiders. That said, Patterson has been first team All Pro as a kick returner twice, as well as having been elected second team All Pro twice while filling the role as the most dangerous kickoff return man in the NFL during his time in the league. However, since this piece is looking at production as a receiver, not as a returner, I did not take his kickoff return production into consideration.
In any case, the other first rounder in this group, Floyd, had three seasons under Bruce Arians for the Arizona Cardinals that made it appear as though he could be on his way to great things. In those three years from 2013 to 2015 Floyd recorded 164 receptions for 2,731 yards and 17 touchdowns. However, a poor start to 2016 followed by a DUI that reportedly came after drinking on the team flight home to Phoenix following a road loss to the Miami Dolphins led to his release. In the time since Floyd has played for the Patriots, the Vikings and the Washington Redskins before signing with the Baltimore Ravens as a free agent this spring.
Of the others, Legedu Naanee and Quincy Enunwa were Day Three picks, neither of whom had high levels of production in college, but whose athleticism warranted a late selection. Kelley Washington was a third round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals who never truly developed as the team had hoped, and finished his Bengals career with 893 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns in four seasons. He then went on to play for the Patriots, the Ravens, the Philadelphia Eagles and the then San Diego but now Los Angeles Chargers.
For these five players, here is where their career production stands heading into the 2019 season, keeping in mind that Floyd, Patterson and Enunwa are still active and could change their career totals going forward.

Quincy Enunwa 1621 857 6.209
Kelley Washington 1500 431 3.65
Legedu Naanee 1232 467 5.172
And that wraps up the look at the middle group of the comps for Metcalf, and on Monday we'll dive into those wide receivers who compare athletically to Metcalf and have had the best careers in the NFL.

Solar cells that can face almost any direction and keep themselves clean
(Nanowerk News) In recent years, a complicated discussion over which direction solar cells should face — south or west — has likely left customers uncertain about the best way to orient their panels. Now researchers are attempting to resolve this issue by developing solar cells that can harvest light from almost any angle, and the panels self-clean to boot.
Their report appears in the journal ACS Nano ("Packaging Glass with a Hierarchically Nanostructured Surface: A Universal Method to Achieve Self-Cleaning Omnidirectional Solar Cells").
Fused-silica packaging glass fabricated with a hierarchical structure by integrating small (ultrathin nanorods) and large (honeycomb nanowalls) structures was demonstrated with exceptional light-harvesting solar performance, which is attributed to the subwavelength feature of the nanorods and an efficient scattering ability of the honeycomb nanowalls. (© ACS)
Commercial solar panels work best when sunlight hits them at a certain angle. Initially, experts had suggested that solar panels face south to collect the most energy from the sun. But an influential 2013 report by Pecan Street, an energy-research organization, advised that systems tilt westward to maximize efficiency.
Further analysis has found that determining the ideal angle is more complicated — in essence, it depends on where you live. And even if customers get the positioning correct, they're still losing out on prime sunlight because most residential systems can't move or adjust to the sun's track across the sky. Jr-Hau He, Kun-Yu Lai and colleagues wanted to address this shortcoming.
The researchers developed a glass coating that incorporates ultrathin nanorods and honeycomb nanowalls that can help underlying solar cells harvest sunlight from multiple angles. The cell efficiency can be boosted by 5.2 to 27.7 percent, depending on the angle of the light, and the efficiency enhancement can be up to 46 percent during long-term use. The material also repelled dust and pollution that would otherwise block some rays from getting absorbed and converted to electricity.
The new glass coating kept panels working outdoors at optimum levels for six weeks while the efficiency of panels with an unmodified coating dropped over the same period.

Whether you choose whole-milk, low-fat or nonfat ricotta, it provides a wealth of calcium and protein. Enjoy these gnocchi with a simple sauce of olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. They're lovely on a bed of wilted greens next to a wedge of roasted or steamed winter squash.
1. Place the ricotta in a pasta strainer lined with a cotton kitchen towel. Let drain over the sink for about 15 minutes. Wrap the towel around the cheese and squeeze as much liquid out as possible.
2. Transfer to a medium bowl and thoroughly beat with the eggs until fluffy. Add nutmeg, salt and grated cheese. Add the flour, 2 tablespoons at a time, until the mixture holds together and forms a ball. Don't overmix or use too much flour or the gnocchi will be chewy and tough.
3. Divide the ball of dough into 4 equal parts. On a generously floured board, roll each section into a log about 1 inch in diameter. Cut the logs into 1-inch pieces. Store on a well-floured baking sheet in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
4. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in small batches, about 10 pieces at a time. Stir gently and briefly to prevent the gnocchi from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Keep the water at a gentle simmer. Remove gnocchi with a slotted spoon once they rise to float on the top of the water. Serve hot with the sauce of your choice.

Sen. Tom Udall's New Chapter, Color-Coding Covid Control, and Political Gains for Women
This week on New Mexico in Focus…
Outgoing U.S. Sen. Tom Udall talks with correspondent Laura Paskus about climate change and the environment, two issues the New Mexico senator has spent much of his career working on. Addressing rumors that the Biden administration was considering him as U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary, Udall also talks about the importance of that job, which his father, the late Stewart Udall, held during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.
Gene Grant and The Line opinion panelists talk about new COVID public health orders that make use of a three-tiered "red to green" system to allow reopenings by county, based on case prevalence and positivity rate. The Line also looks at strides women have made in holding political office, both in New Mexico and in the nation. The Line ends on a positive note, with a look at some good economic news for New Mexico, including a Netflix expansion and the possibility of the new U.S. Space Command coming to Albuquerque.

Whether you need to fix a broken door lock or need an air leak sealed, we have the repair services for you.
Over the years, doors get a lot of wear and tear. From the constant opening and closing to being exposed to the outdoors, it's no secret that you eventually may need a repair or two.
Luckily, Town & Country Door, LLC, offers a variety of entry door repair services. A professional door repair can not only help with the appearance of your door but the function as well. For example, doors that aren't sealed properly can cause a rise in a homeowner's utility bills; our team can fix that seal to help save you money in the long haul.
Whether you want fiberglass or wooden doors or you want decorative glass on your door- we can help. With a variety of designs, sizes, and obscurity, we have the perfect entry door for your style and your home.
If you've noticed cooler air coming from under or around your door-it's time to replace it. As doors age, the seals can begin to weaken and not be as effective at keeping the cold air out. When the seals weaken, they will start to shrink and crack causing that drafty feeling. This problem can also create a rise in your energy bills, so it's crucial to get it replaced as soon as you can.
With older doors, over time condensation can begin to form between the panes of glass in your door. This can begin to cause issues, especially if you have a wooden door because mold and mildew can start to form. Be sure to get your door replaced soon as the last thing any homeowner wants is mold remediation.
Over a lifetime, doors can take a beating from the constant traffic of opening and closing them. Visible damage such as cracks not only give insects a chance to enter your home but shows that that door is structurally weak. A wooden door can have stress fractures in the grains of the woods which exposes the inside of your home to the outside. A weak, cracked door can be a safety concern and will need replacing.
If you aren't happy with the way your door looks, or it's visibly damaged and causing issues, give the team at Town & Country Door, LLC, a call today.


A luncheon to me can go from casual to elegant, but striking that balance is all based on the pieces used in my opinion. I decided to go with a floral look with my favorite rose gold flatware from West Elm placed on soft blush pink linen napkins from Crate and Barrel. If you've been on the hunt for pretty linen napkins, Crate and Barrel has some great colors. These chargers I caved and bought in this rose color (I also have them in silver and trying really hard not to go and get the gold too *covers eyes*). They were the perfect base to set these gorgeous Mackenzie Childs pieces on (which I borrowed from my mom's collection). Unfortunately, the 'orange marmalade' check print shown has long since discontinued, however, there are some lovely options in lieu of them below, if you've been on the hunt outside of the courtly check.
At the center of the table I had to have some fresh blooms (duh), and had been eyeing this pretty bouquet from UrbanStems collection with Vogue. I just switched out the vase for my favorite Waterford crystal one. And these pretty pink water goblets and flutes, went perfectly to complete the setting. I love having at least a couple (read: a few) colored drinkware options to switch things up. However, if you've got a classic glassware collection, that will serve you well all the time!
A luncheon opens up the door, for a ton of food options. I think a nice salad (you could try this one) and a light main course, like a fish or chicken with a veggie would be great. You could also do a quiche or something else that is a one 'bake' wonder *wink*. I mean, who needs all the dishes to clean up. For dessert, the choice is yours. I went with a cute side bowl of fresh berries, but you could fill with candy or plan to serve a sorbet (like this).

In this time of making photos on iPhones and Macbook Pros and only looking on screens, I forget I'm a old-school guy. I make a 8 1/2 x 11 work print on archival paper of EVERY image I make. EVERY one. It's the only way, for me, to accurately check for color shift, density, composition, etc. I really like my iPad screen but it's no way to make a good print.
And I have hundreds, if not thousands, of work prints artist proofs at my studio.
If you see an image of mine on The StuBlog or on my old website or on the Fezziwig Press Store or in any of my books, there's a beautiful small print in a box somewhere, perhaps with your name on it. And since I'm organized, I can find it.
Many of you can't afford my larger prints. I understand. I don't have an extra 50 or 100 lying around either. But I do have an extra $20 for stuff I really like.
Just email me at my facebook page or through the StuBlog or at stujenks@gmail.com, and tell me what print you would like or just pull the jpeg and send that to me.
p.s. Ignore the catagories belows. The computer went wacky. Another reason why I prefer a print in the hand as opposed to an image in The Cloud.

Tenacious D (often referred to as "The D" and sometimes introduced as "The Greatest Band in the world. Period.") is an American satirical rock duo formed by musicians and actors Kyle Gass and Jack Black in Los Angeles, California in 1994. Their music fuses vulgar absurdist comedy with rock music in a style that critics have described as "mock rock". The band first gained reputation in 1999, starring in a self-titled HBO TV series. The drumming on Read Full BioTenacious D (often referred to as "The D" and sometimes introduced as "The Greatest Band in the world. Period.") is an American satirical rock duo formed by musicians and actors Kyle Gass and Jack Black in Los Angeles, California in 1994. Their music fuses vulgar absurdist comedy with rock music in a style that critics have described as "mock rock". The band first gained reputation in 1999, starring in a self-titled HBO TV series. The drumming on both of their albums and the devils voice on the track Beelzeboss (also the one who plays Satan in The Pick of Destiny movie) was performed by Dave Grohl (of Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and Them Crooked Vultures fame).
Tenacious D's music showcases Black's theatrical vocal delivery and Gass' acoustic guitar playing abilities. Their songs discuss the duo's purported musical and sexual prowess, as well as their friendship and cannabis usage. Their debut self-titled album features absurd and humorous sketches. Music critics have compared the storyteller-style lyrics of their songs to lyrics of rock opera. In addition, they have since recorded two albums, and starred in their own movie, Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny.
Black and Gass, at the time respectively aged 16 and 24, met in Edinburgh, Scotland during the Edinburgh Fringe of 1989. Both were members of the Los Angeles-based theatre troupe, The Actors' Gang which was performing Tim Robbins and Adam Simon's play Carnage. Initially Black and Gass did not get on as Gass felt threatened by Black - as he was the main musician for the Actor's gang - but they eventually worked out their differences, and agreed to form a band. Gass taught Black to play guitar, in exchange for Black's helping him with his acting.
Initially, Black and Kyle covered songs by Bobby McFerrin. Later they chose the name "Tenacious D" - a name derived from a term used by sports commentator Marv Albert about the tenacious defense of the NBA's New York Knicks - decided by the audience of the band's first live show, in 1994 at the now defunct Al's Bar. Other possibilities had included "Pets or Meat", "Balboa's Biblical Theatre" and "The Axe Lords Featuring Gorgazon's Mischief", which Gass described as being his personal favorite. In attendance was David Cross who later cast Tenacious D in his sketch comedy television series, Mr. Show.
TV series:
David Cross, with the writer Bob Odenkirk from Mr Show, continued his involvement with Tenacious D by producing three half-hour shows based on the band. The series, entitled Tenacious D, premiered in 1997, immediately following an episode of Mr. Show. While a total of three episodes consisting of two shorts, ten to twelve minutes in length, were produced, only the first was aired that year; the final two episodes did not air until the summer of 2000. The series was canceled after, according to Gass, HBO offered Tenacious D ten episodes, but in doing so, they would have to relinquish their role as executive producers. Gass and Black decided to make a movie instead. Many songs that eventually were included on the band's first album were first featured on the show, though the episodes also contain songs that remain unreleased.
The six shorts were titled "The Search for Inspirado", "Angel in Disguise", "Death of a Dream", "The Greatest Song in the World", "The Fan", and "Road Gig". After the series aired, the band continued to perform. At a show at the Viper Room in Los Angeles, they met Dave Grohl, who remarked that he was impressed with their performance; this led to their cameo in the Foo Fighters' "Learn to Fly" music video. The popularity of Tenacious D further increased as they began to open for high profile acts, including Beck, Pearl Jam, and Foo Fighters.
Lyrics and themes:
The Devil CardSatire and comedy are a major aspect of Tenacious D's lyrical content. Gass said of their approach: "I'd love to do the straight music thing, but that's kind of against our mission, which is to rebel against the serious singer-songwriter mentality." Their songs evoke heavy metal clichés of bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. In particular, the song "Dio" pokes fun at the idea of a torch being passed "Now it's time for him to pass the torch" Songs like "Friendship" parody the lack of real friendship in rock groups with the lyric "As long as there's a record deal, we'll always be friends" Other songs cover the topic of sex; "Kielbasa" discusses anal sex, while "Double Team" boasts of the duos sexual prowess. Tenacious D also employs the technique of deliberate backmasking on "Karate", a technique synonymous with bands like Slayer, who recorded a message in Hell Awaits.. The band's imagery also continues the theme of evil. The front cover of Tenacious D features Black and Gass standing naked below the Devil. Black described it as he and Gass being "schooled by Satan". The pose is similar to that shown on the Devil tarot card. The Devil card signifies sexual desire, uncontrolled energy, vice and addiction.
Tenacious D's music has been criticized for its frequent use of profanity. In addition, other critics have described the band as having exhausted the joke of "cock rock".
Influences:
Black has said that the first song he enjoyed was ABBA's "Take a Chance on Me". He attributes influences from Dio, Black Sabbath, Meat Loaf and Bobby McFerrin. Gass describes their influences as being derived from "big dinosaurs of rock" such as Led Zeppelin. In addition, Gass lists his influences as being Tom Waits, Tony Hawk and Tony Robbins. The band claimed that the inspiration for the song "Tribute" came after Black played Metallica's "One" for Gass, describing it as "the best song in the world", leading to a failed attempt to themselves write an even better song.
Gass has described Tenacious D's comic assertion that they are the best band as being "ridiculous because it's a matter of opinion". Black characterizes Tenacious D's comic nature as an antidote to "the masculinity of rock", adding "There's also something funny about the macho-ness of rock. Like the bands that are the fucking hardest rocking are like, 'We'll fucking kick your ass, dude... with our rock.'"
Tenacious D is featured in the highly anticipated video game "Guitar Hero III". `The Metal' is prominently featured in the game's trailer released at E3 2007.
Tenacious D also did backing vocals on the Styx song "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye". It can be found on the album "Cyclorama" from 2003.
They were included in Rock Band 2 with their song "Master Exploder".
In October of 2009 Jack Black starred as roadie Eddie Riggs in the open world video game Brütal Legend by Double Fine Productions on the XBOX 360 and Playstation 3.

Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,
We was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon.
In the middle of the road.
And he said:
"Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul." (soul)
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
And we each said. "Okay."
And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.
Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the grass doth grow
Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his whoopy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: "(snort) Be you angels?"
And we said, "Nay. We are but men."
Rock!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!
This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no.
Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no.
This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was the best muthafuckin' song the greatest song in the world.
And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
The song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound
Anything like this song.
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe it!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, fuck! Good God, God lovin',
So surprised to find you can't stop it.
All right! All right!

Q: Making a new array after destructuring items and destructuring behavior I am returning an observable from a service and I want to create a new array;
stackblitz code here
allCodesAndIds: Option[] = [];
service call
  getAllItems(): Observable<Item> {
    return of(this.jsonData);
  }

destructuring items the following way
  getAllItems() {

    items$.pipe().subscribe(res => {
      const [id, code] = res.items;
      console.log(id, code);

I want my allCodesAndIds array to look like the following
[

    id: 1,
    descp: "item 1"
  },
  {
    id: 2,
    descp: "item 2"

Also, the current console.log only prints 2 items
{id: 1, descp: "item 1", code: "code1"}
{id: 2, descp: "item 2", code: "code2"}

whereas I was expecting it to return all 5 items. Could someone please explain the reason behind this. Please.
Thank you for your time and help !!

A: If I understand you correctly, you want to destructure your items like this:
const items = res.items.map(({id, descp}) => ({id, descp});

This is called object destructuring.
In your snippet, you are not using object destructuring but array destructuring. This takes the first and second item from your list of items.
const [item1, item2] = res.items;

Array destructuring has its use cases, too, e.g. separating head and tail of a list, useful for recursive algorithms:
const [first, ...rest] = res.items;

Most people think of a UN assembly when they hear the words"simultaneous interpretation". It's easy to think so, since such environment is the perfect example of what the world is: a group of people from various cultures and backgrounds, who speak different languages, trying to communicate with many others. Our university offers us an interpretation class and a wide range of interpretation and translation opportunities, aims to help us achieve our communication and strategic goals.
What is Simultaneous Interpretation? In simultaneous interpretation, the participants wear headphones, and the interpreter renders the speaker's words into the target language as he or she is speaking. Owing to the tremendous level of concentration required to perform this type of interpretation, simultaneous interpreters always work in teams of two. Usually, the interpreters work in a sound-proof booth that enables everyone involved to focus on their work without the distraction of hearing another language. Because this mode of interpreting saves time, it is preferred for conferences and meetings in which a great deal of information has to be conveyed. The use of audio equipment also means that there is no limit to the number of people who can participate.

Students seem surprised when we advise them to submit (or ask their school counselor to submit) some of these items now. But for those students who have the ability to complete and send some of their application components now, it's a great idea to just get it done!
For example, for seniors who will not be taking the SAT or ACT again, there's absolutely NO reason not to send your scores to all of the colleges on your list – right now! Colleges absolutely don't care which item they receive first. They'll open a file for you, and wait for the rest of the items to come. In fact, sending your scores now, instead of waiting until after you submit, will actually indicate your strong interest to the schools who take demonstrated interest into consideration!
Recently, many colleges have begun accepting self-reported scores as well – so you can save a little bit of money by self-reporting your scores through the Common Application, the Coalition Application or college-specific apps.
Here's another way to save a little bit of money on sending test scores: If you're applying to multiple campuses within the UC system, you can just send your scores to ONE campus. And if you're applying to multiple campuses within the CSU system – same deal – send to just ONE Cal State campus. They'll each share within their own system.
What if you send scores to a college and then later decide not to apply? It's ok – you're allowed to change your mind! You've wasted a few dollars sending your scores, and you will probably get endless e-mails from the college, begging you to submit your application. But don't worry – they have thousands of other applications to read!
If you're taking the SAT or ACT again, you may want to hold off on sending scores, so that you have the ability to send the best scores after you are done testing.
We'll post another entry soon about teacher recommendations – how they work, how they are transmitted, when to ask.
Here's our post that will help you decide WHICH test scores to send.
But if you're done testing – send scores NOW!

Dopamine and reward hypersensitivity in Parkinson's disease with impulse control disorder
Drew DS., Muhammed K., Baig F., Kelly M., Saleh Y., Sarangmat N., Okai D., Hu M., Manohar S., Husain M.
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease are common neuropsychiatric complications associated with dopamine replacement therapy. Some patients treated with dopamine agonists develop pathological behaviours, such as gambling, compulsive eating, shopping, or disinhibited sexual behaviours, which can have a severe impact on their lives and that of their families. In this study we investigated whether hypersensitivity to reward might contribute to these pathological behaviours and how this is influenced by dopaminergic medication. We asked participants to shift their gaze to a visual target as quickly as possible, in order to obtain reward. Critically, the reward incentive on offer varied over trials. Motivational effects were indexed by pupillometry and saccadic velocity, and patients were tested ON and OFF dopaminergic medication, allowing us to measure the effect of dopaminergic medication changes on reward sensitivity. Twenty-three Parkinson's disease patients with a history of impulse control disorders were compared to 26 patients without such behaviours, and 31 elderly healthy controls. Intriguingly, behavioural apathy was reported alongside impulsivity in the majority of patients with impulse control disorders. Individuals with impulse control disorders also exhibited heightened sensitivity to exogenous monetary rewards cues both ON and OFF (overnight withdrawal) dopamine medication, as indexed by pupillary dilation in anticipation of reward. Being OFF dopaminergic medication overnight did not modulate pupillary reward sensitivity in impulse control disorder patients, whereas in control patients reward sensitivity was significantly reduced when OFF dopamine. These effects were independent of cognitive impairment or total levodopa equivalent dose. Although dopamine agonist dose did modulate pupillary responses to reward, the pattern of results was replicated even when patients with impulse control disorders on dopamine agonists were excluded from the analysis. The findings suggest that hypersensitivity to rewards might be a contributing factor to the development of impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease. However, there was no difference in reward sensitivity between patient groups when ON dopamine medication, suggesting that impulse control disorders may not emerge simply because of a direct effect of dopaminergic drug level on reward sensitivity. The pupillary reward sensitivity measure described here provides a means to differentiate, using a physiological measure, Parkinson's disease patients with impulse control disorder from those who do not experience such symptoms. Moreover, follow-up of control patients indicated that increased pupillary modulation by reward can be predictive of the risk of future emergence of impulse control disorders and may thereby provide the potential for early identification of patients who are more likely to develop these symptoms.</jats:p>

Karuna Reiki and its purpose and uses were revealed to William Rand and some of his advanced students. They received information about twelve symbols and how they relate to healing. As they continued to work with the symbols, they were shown the many aspects that the symbols assist a person in clearing. The International Center for Reiki Training is the steward of this training.
Karuna Reiki is a powerful modality in helping people release out the effects of abuse of any type from this lifetime or any other lifetime. It combines the power of symbols with the power of chant to break up old, stuck patterns of energy to bring about healing.
Anyone can receive a Karuna Reiki healing session. In order to take the class to learn to use the Karuna symbols in practice, one must be a Reiki Master. The training in Karuna Reiki consists of a full day of class in which one learns the twelve symbols and how to use them as well as getting the opportunity to practice the technique and receive sessions while others are practicing.

Phys.org: Breaching a 'carbon threshold' could lead to mass extinction
"Daniel Rothman, professor of geophysics and co-director of the Lorenz Center in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, has found that when the rate at which carbon dioxide enters the oceans pushes past a certain threshold—whether as the result of a sudden burst or a slow, steady influx—the Earth may respond with a runaway cascade of chemical feedbacks, leading to extreme ocean acidification that dramatically amplifies the effects of the original trigger."

Call for Abstracts: Marine-based management of atmospheric carbon dioxide and ocean acidification
Deadline: 31. July 2019
"Ocean biology, chemistry and physics play a central role in naturally controlling oceanic/atmospheric CO2 levels. To avoid major global climate impacts and ocean acidification, reducing CO2 emissions is no longer sufficient; CO2 removal from the ocean/atmosphere system is now also required. This session will explore ways of restoring, enhancing, and augmenting naturally-occurring marine processes for regulating oceanic and atmospheric CO2 and ocean acidity levels. Specific examples include, but are not limited to: Blue Carbon, macrophyte introduction, aquaculture, permaculture, nutrient enrichment, marine BECCS, enhanced weathering, alkalinity addition, enhanced upwelling/downwelling, and chemical or physical seawater CO2 stripping, conducted at local to global scales. In addition to technical aspects, presentations on the economic, regulatory, policy, geopolitical, governance, legal and ethical implications of the preceding are also invited."

The National: Scientists aim to dim the sun to tackle climate change
"Scientists are preparing to test a radical new way of tackling climate change by deliberately dimming the sun. A team of researchers from Harvard University plans to release a balloon into the skies over the southwest United States in the new year. Once it reaches an altitude of 20km, the balloon will release a chalky material to bounce the sun's heat back into space. Only a tiny amount of material will be released, and the effects will be limited to a few square kilometres. Even so, the experiment has reignited concern about such "geoengineering" solutions to tackling climate change."

"A comprehensive and systematic assessment of 13 global- and local-scale, ocean-based measures was performed to help steer the development and implementation of technologies and actions toward a sustainable outcome. We show that (1) all measures have tradeoffs and multiple criteria must be used for a comprehensive assessment of their potential, (2) greatest benefit is derived by combining global and local solutions, some of which could be implemented or scaled-up immediately, (3) some measures are too uncertain to be recommended yet, (4) political consistency must be achieved through effective cross-scale governance mechanisms, (5) scientific effort must focus on effectiveness, co-benefits, disbenefits, and costs of poorly tested as well as new and emerging measures."

"Termination effects of large‐scale Artificial Ocean Alkalinization (AOA) have received little attention because AOA was assumed to pose low environmental risk. With the Max‐Planck‐Institute Earth System Model, we use emission‐driven AOA simulations following the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5). We find that after termination of AOA warming trends in regions of the Northern hemisphere become ∼50% higher than those in RCP8.5 with rates similar to those caused by termination of solar geoengineering over the following three decades after cessation (up to 0.15 K/year)."

In geological terms, granite is an igneous rock that is produced under many layers of sedimentary minerals. Igneous rocks are the product of volcanoes, essentially hardened magma. Igneous rock that solidifies on the surface of the earth is called extrusive, and is brittle and flaky. Granite, however, is called intrusive because it cools over a very long period of time underground into the coarse, dense material we all know and love. The word "granite" itself means "grain," referring to the large grain-size of the various crystal and mineral pieces that comprise it.
Technically speaking, there is a very small portion of intrusive igneous rock that is considered "granite" by geologists. However, for the purposes of the commercial stone industry, many stones that would be geologically classified as "granitoid" share enough similar properties that the term "granite" suffices. The diversity among granitoid rocks such as granite, quartz monzonite, quartz diorite, syenite, granodiorite and trondhjemite offers many different visual styles to select from. But they all possess the hallmark qualities of the stone: durability, strength, and a beautiful polish.
Because of the slow cooling time and immense geological pressure that is required for its creation, granite is stronger than steel, polishes better than marble, and is almost completely inert to acids, bases, heat, and erosion. This makes it an excellent material for both indoor and outdoor applications such as monuments, headstones, plaques, columns, stairways, pavings, walls, granite countertops, and more. Throughout the history of civilization, from the tombs of ancient Egypt to our very own Mount Rushmore, granite has been a sign of opulence, wealth, power, and posterity. Using granite in your kitchen or bathroom renovation (granite kitchen countertops in Park Ridge and bathroom countertops in highland park) is a great way to add a touch of glamour and increase the resale value of your home.
