We all have good intentions but we both know you really don't want to work out and are reading this because the headline says '10 Minute Bariatric Workout'. It is a compromise in your head. You don't WANT to work out but you MIGHT give this a try this since its just 10 minutes.
Listen to me. We cannot simply diet our way out of Morbid Obesity even with the power of our surgery. We can cruise for a while, often years, but it eventually catches up with us. Stop listening to the five year post ops saying you don't have to eliminate food groups or those who boast they eat what they want and 'that they must be doing something right because they've lost 125 pounds'. They have not hit a wall yet. Maybe it has caught up with you as it did me and that is why you are still reading.
The formula is simple: Eat Less, Move More. Yep, we have heard that before, but it is a fact of human physiology. We caught a break with surgery that allowed us to drop the bulk of the weight without really doing a lot, but it is different now and you know that.
The best workout? One you'll actually follow 3 to 5 times per week. I am still the person who does an involuntary eyeroll when Facebook people post about 5k's. I never wanted to work out, but it was either do it or give up and be fat again. My goal in working out is to find the least movement that will do the most for raising my metabolism. Boom!
These routines produce such fast results that even the biggest slugs will love Jumping Rope because of how it makes them feel. Give it 30 days paired with either Back on Track or BE Easy plan of protein drinks and healthy eating. It will work for you. Mind Blown. Pop. Happy.
5. It will melt the fat right off ya!
We are all short on time, but must make the hard choice between 50 pounds and 10 minutes. This means a workout must be quick, fun, inexpensive, and portable. This is why I LOVE time saving High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT and I can jump rope right outside my door. Forget the treadmill/clothes hanger, this is way cooler!
Research shows HIIT is the most effective way to boost the metabolism and burn fat. I want to workout smarter, not harder, by combining everything I want to achieve into one short but intense, fat blasting workout. Fast/Slow, Fast/Slow, Fast/Slow, cranks up the heart rate and keeps fat burning for hours.
Oh Wow, this is EASY!
Do not make the mistake of going from zero to hero, or you'll quickly get discouraged. It seems really easy until the next day, so go slow even if you are having fun and you WILL have fun.
6. Practice. Beginners should practice by swinging the rope with both handles in one hand and not jumping through it. This helps develop basic coordination.
7. THIS IS NOT EASY nor will you be smiling for the first few times – your heart will be ready to burst from your chest!
The following YouTube Playlist contains four videos. Two demonstrate beginners tips for jumping rope that are really helpful, One 4 Minute HIIT Tabata workout with Brad Gouthro (you can keep your shirt on… lol… and YES, this is a FOUR MINUTE WORKOUT!!!) and a 10 Minute real-time Liz Palmer 40 second HIGH/20 second REST workout.
I use the HIIT Stopwatch by Parabolic River for my workout timer – for iPhone, iPad or Droid… the free version works great. I use the 'Tabata' setting.
This is good to know. I know it to be true that Exercise is the way to keep weight off. This time I want to change my lifestyle and do 30 minutes of exercise everyday.
I had the gastric sleeve done in April of 2014… I have lost over 50 pounds. I have been doing different exercises every day, just to keep the exercise time from getting boring. A friend told me about this 10 minute exercise program and I LOVE it…. Started to feel the burn immediately… and the best part is, it only takes 10 minutes of my day…. Thank you for sharing this to others who have had surgery…. It's a great workout….
I hadmy surgery on 12/30/2014 i have lost 30 pounds AND I AM BEING TOLD I HAVE TO CONSUME 1000 CALORIES A DAY BUT MY STOMACH WANT LET ME EAT THAT MUCH AND I AM HARDLY EVER HUNGRY , SO HOW DO I CONSUME THAT MANY CALORIES UNLESS I DRINK PROTIEN SHAKES MOST OF THE DAY. REALLY WANT THIS TO WORK . THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE ,I AM A 3 TIME INSULIN USIND DIABETIC . WANT TO BE DAIBETIC FREE . ANY ONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTION . OPEN TO ALL REMARKS.
Linda, it takes a good eight weeks to work up to being able to take in all they want us to take in! We don't just hop off the operating table and the next day drink 64 ounces of water and 75 grams of protein and ride off happy and normal.

Bitcoin is displaying a modicum of strength on the current shoulder, in what appears to be an inverted head-and-shoulders chart pattern formation. As to whether this will finally result in a breakout, remains to be seen. Although, considering that the BCC fork has already begun, we may observe heightened trading and interest, as future events unfold.
The Kraken bitcoin/eur pair began trading on July 16 at €1,611, the month's present low. After a strong run-up to the €2,490 monthly high (54.81% increase in less than 5 days), a value that was attained on July 20 (GMT 23:00), prevailing trading activity has remained in a fixed range between the €2,116.04 weekly low, and the yet to broken €2,490 monthly high.
Projecting the 54.81% ascent, from the prior trading range, on to the existing one, indicates a highly improbable, but nonetheless, still possible high of €3,281.97 ($3,851 at the existing EUR/US Dollar parity exchange rate).
Trading volume is showing signs of stabilizing, on both the hourly and daily charts. This continuation can be expected to last throughout the remainder of the day, as for beyond, the post-fork trading period may end up lasting longer, up until segwit locks in on August 8, or even as far as August 21 during the next wrap-up period, if a consensus is not reached, yet again.
The closest support is at €2,299.38, the next one at €2,251.43, while the last foothold (and bottom) of this trading range, is at the €2,116.04 weekly low. Support levels from prior waves are further below. Beginning in descending order: €2,002.32, €1,970.21, €1,931.40, €1,924.41, €1,729.35, and finally, the last one being the €1,611 support, which is also the monthly low.
The first two resistance levels are closely bordering each other, with the nearest at €2,466.65, and the second one, subsequently at the €2,490 monthly high. €2,534.93 is the top of a monumental wick, from the first post all-time high trading range, and is also acting as a strong ceiling. The utmost resistance point is beyond all of them, personified in the €2,618 Kraken all-time high.
Bollinger bands on the daily appear to be expanding, this is more often than not, technically a sign of incoming volatility. Be that as it may, the hourly bands show a somewhat consistent and stable gap. Price has pushed above the upper band a few times, and is also holding above the Bollinger median line. This can be accepted as a short term bullish signal.
As is the case with Bitstamp's bitcoin/US dollar pair, a crossover of the 30-day MA above the 200-day MA, has happened on Kraken's bitcoin/euro pair. This is bullish as well.
The two upper converging trend lines show the €2,490 monthly high, playing an important role moving forward. On top of being a strong support, it is additionally paramount, due to being a conceivable tipping point, in case of a new rally up to the all-time high, and/or beyond to even greater levels.
The Fibonacci 0.786 level has been crippled; we could see a lead-in ensue up to the 1.0 fib at €2,489. The next extensions are at €2,577.51 (fib 1.236), €2,632.26 (fib 1.382), €2,676.52 (fib 1.5), €2,720.78 (fib 1.618), and to conclude, at €2,864.05 (fib 2.0).
The RSI is approaching overbought conditions; the same applies to the Williams %R indicator. OBV has been rising rather rampantly since the start of the day, and volume was until recently, keeping up with this pace. The MACD is demonstrating momentary bullish tendencies, due to a bullish crossover of the macd, occurring above the signal line. However, a few hours after the day had started; there was a preceding bearish crossover as well (marked with a red vertical line, bullish crossover is marked in green).
The Kraken €1,611 monthly low was achieved on July 16. Price did not stay at that level for long, and during the next 4 days of explosive growth, the €2,490 monthly high was touched, after which a short-term reversal, bought the price back down to the €2,116.04 weekly low. Trading has since kept to a confined spectrum, bound by the €2,490 monthly high, and the €2,116.04 weekly low.

hasn't been tampered with before decrypting it.
A single key is used both to encrypt/sign and verify/decrypt messages. For this reason, it is critical to keep the key confidential.
The nonce doesn't have to be confidential, but it should never ever be reused with the same key. The easiest way to generate a nonce is to use randombytes_buf().
Messages encrypted are assumed to be independent. If multiple messages are sent using this API and random nonces, there will be no way to detect if a message has been received twice, or if messages have been reordered. If this is a requirement, see the encrypting a sequence of a set of related messages section.
In combined mode, the authentication tag and the encrypted message are stored together. This is usually what you want.
The crypto_secretbox_easy() function encrypts a message m whose length is mlen bytes, with a key k and a nonce n.
k should be crypto_secretbox_KEYBYTES bytes and n should be crypto_secretbox_NONCEBYTES bytes.
c should be at least crypto_secretbox_MACBYTES + mlen bytes long.
This function writes the authentication tag, whose length is crypto_secretbox_MACBYTES bytes, in c, immediately followed by the encrypted message, whose length is the same as the plaintext: mlen.
c and m can overlap, making in-place encryption possible. However do not forget that crypto_secretbox_MACBYTES extra bytes are required to prepend the tag.
The crypto_secretbox_open_easy() function verifies and decrypts a ciphertext produced by crypto_secretbox_easy().
c is a pointer to an authentication tag + encrypted message combination, as produced by crypto_secretbox_easy(). clen is the length of this authentication tag + encrypted message combination. Put differently, clen is the number of bytes written by crypto_secretbox_easy(), which is crypto_secretbox_MACBYTES + the length of the message.
The nonce n and the key k have to match the used to encrypt and authenticate the message.
The function returns -1 if the verification fails, and 0 on success. On success, the decrypted message is stored into m.
m and c can overlap, making in-place decryption possible.
This function encrypts a message m of length mlen with a key k and a nonce n, and puts the encrypted message into c. Exactly mlen bytes will be put into c, since this function does not prepend the authentication tag. The tag, whose size is crypto_secretbox_MACBYTES bytes, will be put into mac.
The crypto_secretbox_open_detached() function verifies and decrypts an encrypted message c whose length is clen. clen doesn't include the tag, so this length is the same as the plaintext.
The plaintext is put into m after verifying that mac is a valid authentication tag for this ciphertext, with the given nonce n and key k.
The function returns -1 if the verification fails, or 0 on success.
Internally, crypto_secretbox calls crypto_stream_xor() to encrypt the message. As a result, a secret key used with the former should not be reused with the later. But as a general rule, a key should not be reused for different purposes.
The original NaCl crypto_secretbox API is also supported, albeit not recommended.
crypto_secretbox() takes a pointer to 32 bytes before the message, and stores the ciphertext 16 bytes after the destination pointer, the first 16 bytes being overwritten with zeros. crypto_secretbox_open() takes a pointer to 16 bytes before the ciphertext and stores the message 32 bytes after the destination pointer, overwriting the first 32 bytes with zeros.
The _easy and _detached APIs are faster and improve usability by not requiring padding, copying or tricky pointer arithmetic.

Members of the the Digital Library Federation Assessment Interest Group's (DLF AIG) Working Group on Reuse and the Library Information Technology Association (LITA) Altmetrics and Digital Analytics Interest Group are excited to announce the upcoming "Analytics, Altmetrics, and Reuse Twitter Chat" on Wednesday, April 25 from 2:00 p.m EST to approximately 3:00 p.m. EST. The chat will engage participants in discussing the numerous approaches and barriers to reuse analysis in digital libraries.
Below you will find important information about the Twitter Chat, background content for participating in the conversation, and the questions to be explored during the chat.
Reuse: The DLF AIG Reuse Working Group defines reuse as how often and in what ways digital library materials are utilized and repurposed. In this definition, we do know the context of the use. This definition is fluid and open to change.


Gilbert Sachs Group experts recently assessed logistics sourcing opportunities, processes, and systems at a $10 billion vertically-integrated steel producer. As part of the project, we assessed organizational structure, skills and knowledge requirements, systems and tools, and management capabilities.
The assessment showed that there was a substantial benefit from consolidating fleet resources under one management team, and that aggregating their transportation sourcing activities would yield significant benefits.
Our findings helped the client to justify the launch 11 projects with an annual savings opportunity of over $9 million.


The American economist Paul Krugman's comment was one of the best I've come across recently: "We've got a problem with terminology because we usually say either the economy is in recession or the economy is recovering. Either you're in hell or you're in heaven. And the trouble is we're actually in purgatory." My own frustration with the binary, black-or-white way of viewing the world has developed over the last few weeks as I have tried to juggle with a number of very contradictory pieces of news. On one side of the ledger, there's the "fact" that Germany, France and Japan are no longer in a recession and that Britain and the US are, for their part, on the road to recovery. On the other, there's the "fact" that French and German unemployment figures are still growing. Most estimates suggest that during the course of 2009, the jobless rate in these two countries alone will have risen by over a million. People are tightening their belts across the globe. Apart from the bankers who will be celebrating a fresh crop of generous bonuses at the end of the year. In 2007, you could have paid £525 for a Just-Drinks report entitled Emerging Markets and Premiumisation to Drive Global Spirits Market. Just two years later, the analysts at Deutsche Bank are questioning whether "The era of premiumisation is over..?" and backing the drinks giant Diageo for its perceived ability to achieve "volume growth to drive earnings".
The problem is that premiumisation is not only an ugly word; it's also a term whose meaning depends on the person using it. For some, it applies to super-luxury products like the $10,000 Loewe Calle handbag photographed on Victoria Beckham's arm in February when the credit crunch was arguably at its worst. Or the Armand de Brignac non-vintage Champagne that relies on its blingy packaging and link with the rapper Jay-Z to justify a price tag of $500 a time. Neither of these, interestingly, complies to the definition of "New Luxury" in from Michael J Silverstein and Neil Fiske's excellent 2005 book Trading Up". The focus for these authors is "products and services that possess higher levels of quality, taste and aspiration than other goods in the category but are not so expensive as to be out of reach".
Of course, buried within this definition are several subjective issues. Who is to say whether one product is of higher quality and taste than another? What one consumer may aspire to might leave another completely cold. And how far can any consumer actually reach? Silverstein and Fiske acknowledge this last point by pointing out that "a consumer's buying habits do not always confirm to her income level". There may be a "disharmony of consumption" whereby she will purchase own-label dishwashing liquid but drink premium Samuel Adams beer.
A good illustration of the lack of connection between the amount of money in a consumer's pocket and the way in which he will spend is offered in the UK by the current performance of two beverages: coffee and wine. It was recently reported that Tesco's "Finest" wine range had been removed from some 200 of the chain's 300 stores and its place taken by a "Value" range including Spanish Tetra Paks of wine at £3.15 per litre, a price which would allow for a wine cost of €30c per litre. Tesco's strenuously denies the first part of these reports, but most retailers acknowledge that "premium" wines are proving harder to sell. Meanwhile, however, Whitbread, the UK hotel, pub and coffee bar group which once brewed beer and retailed wine, has just announced first half figures for 2009 which revealed an 18.4% increase in sales at its Costa coffee outlets, where a cappuccino would cost around £2.00.
My own simple take on the relative success of the coffee vendors is that successful premiumisation is all to do with the way the product or service makes the consumer feel - irrespective of price. The ability to spend more than you need to on a cup of coffee, or on a pair of socks - or shoes - may actually be part of the appeal. And I doubt that this is a human emotion that is going to disappear simply because the world is going through a financial crisis.
What may well change for many people, is unconsidered spending. It's not surprising that Nielsen and Datamonitor data show own-label purchasing as being on the rise in the US and UK. But that trend does not contradict the declaration by the up-market UK supermarket chain Waitrose that many of its consumers are returning to its aisles after an unsatisfactory flirtation with the discounters Aldi and Lidl.
The challenge confronting wine producers and marketers lies in ensuring that their product has that feel-good factor. And no brand exemplifies that better than Oyster Bay. Despite oversupply of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and the recession, Delegat's its makers have just announced a 37% rise in annual revenue and 57% jump in net profits. Interestingly, Oyster Bay seems to be maintaining its premium price in the UK despite Tesco's sale of an ocean of three-for-£10 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It has also joined the ranks of the ten best-selling over $10 wines in the US, despite the general downward trend of wine prices there. The Costa and Oyster Bay factor is not easily defined - if it were, everyone would be applying it - but my guess is that it lies in maintaining quality that is at least at the higher end of its class, a premium image and a price that's just high enough to make the buyer aware that he is treating himself without actually feeling any pain.


Welcome back! Happy Wellfie Wednesday! This week is brought to by Patrick (@TheFuelPhysio), our crew's RDN (Registered Dietitian Nutritionist).
Today I'm here to celebrate RDN Day! As a part of National Nutrition Month®, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics celebrates RDN Day "on the second Wednesday in March, [a day that] increases awareness of registered dietitian nutritionists as the indispensable providers of food and nutrition services and recognizes RDNs for their commitment to helping people enjoy healthy lives."(1) All of the information seen today has been collected from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' website (eatright.org). See the links below for additional information.
Registered Dietitian Nutritionists have degrees in nutrition, dietetics, public health or a related field from well-respected, accredited colleges and universities, completed an internship and passed an examination.
Registered Dietitian Nutritionists use their nutrition expertise to help individuals make personalized, positive lifestyle changes.
Registered Dietitian Nutritionists work throughout the community in hospitals, schools, public health clinics, nursing homes, fitness centers, food management, food industry, universities, research and private practice.
Registered Dietitian Nutritionists are advocates for advancing the nutritional status of Americans and people around the world.
The highest level of nutrition counseling. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, but only a registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) has completed multiple layers of education and training established by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics. In addition to holding a bachelor's degree, an RD or RDN must fulfill a specially designed, accredited nutrition curriculum, complete an extensive supervised program of practice at a health care facility, foodservice organization or community agency and pass a rigorous registration exam. What's more, roughly half of all RDs and RDNs hold graduate degrees and many have certifications in specialized fields, such as sports, pediatric, renal, oncology or gerontological nutrition.
Personally tailored recommendations. When you see an RD or RDN, the last thing you'll get is one-size-fits-all diet advice. After learning about your health history, favorite foods, eating and exercise habits, an RD or RDN will help you set goals and prioritize. Follow-up visits will focus on maintenance and monitoring your progress.
Help managing chronic diseases. If you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes or cancer it can be hard to know what to eat. An RD or RDN can review your lab results with you, help you understand your condition, provide education about the nutrients that affect it and help you create an eating plan that includes all the important nutrients that can help you manage your condition.
Guidance navigating food allergies, sensitivities and intolerances. When you suffer from conditions such as celiac disease, food allergies or lactose intolerance, it's easy to be overwhelmed by what you think you can't eat. That can translate into a boring diet and may even lead to nutrient deficiencies. An RD or RDN can teach you how to read food labels so you'll know which ingredients to avoid and a help you find substitutions to keep your diet balanced and tasty.
Practical lifestyle advice. Fad diets may sound like the quick ticket to weight loss, but they rarely work for very long. A registered dietitian or registered dietitian nutritionist will partner with you to develop a safe and realistic eating plan that you can stick with for the long haul. To guide and motivate you, an RD or RDN will use creative and out-of-the-box strategies to help with meal planning, grocery shopping and mindful eating.
A bit more on National Nutrition Month®.
We hope this week's tip was informative for you! Thanks again for all of the #WellfieWednesday support, be sure to post your pictures this week and tag the WW crew members in your post (@TheFuelPhysio, @Eric_in_AmERICa, @AaronPerezPT, @DianaKlatt, @kuhnalyssa_spt) and keep the wave of healthy change going!


Considering the ages of your children, I am not sure if you plan to stay until midnight on the night of the party. That said, to be prepared for a quick get-away if need be, I would plan to watch the 8:15PM Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas Parade and the 9:30 Holiday Wishes Fireworks. Leading up to these events, and possibly after, I would enjjoy the sights and sounds (and attractions) that Magic Kingdom offers on these special nights...the hot cocoa and cookies, the special character meet and greets, and of course, the SNOW on Main Street USA. The parade and fireworks are scheduled far enough apart that you should not feel rushed at all.

Scrapping HS2 would help balance the books, admits Jeremy Hunt in visit to West Midlands
By Peter MadeleyStaffordshirePoliticsPublished: Nov 29, 2022 Comments
Jeremy Hunt conceded he could have "balanced the books" by ditching HS2 during a visit to the controversial line's interchange station in the West Midlands.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, HS2 CEO Mark Thurston and West Midlands Mayor Andy Street at the HS2 Interchange site
The Chancellor has committed to building the budget-busting route to Manchester despite forecasts its cost was on course to balloon to more than £150billion.
He joined West Midlands Mayor Andy Street and HS2 Ltd boss Mark Thurston to examine the progress of the £370million interchange station in Solihull.
It came after Mr Hunt was urged to scrap HS2 by Tory MPs, with the likes of Michael Fabricant and Sir Bill Cash leading calls to cease all building work immediately.
Mr Hunt, who chatted with site engineers and apprentices during his visit, said: "We could have balanced the books with big cuts to capital projects, but better transport connections spread wealth and opportunity – so we are proud to back HS2."
Mr Thurston claimed HS2 was "delivering for the Government's levelling-up agenda."
He added: "With almost 30,000 jobs supported by the project, and tens of thousands more throughout our UK-wide supply chain, we are delighted the Chancellor recognises the important part HS2 is playing in driving growth across the country today, and will do in the future."
HS2, which ploughs through 45 miles of Staffordshire countryside, has been criticised for years over its spiralling budget, lengthy delays and the damage it has cause to the environment.
Mr Fabricant said it was "a national disgrace" to proceed with HS2 when tax rises and spending cuts had been brought in by the Chancellor in his latest Budget.
He said: "I, and others, continue to press the Government to consider using these vast sums of money to support the NHS, education, and other services which our nation so needs instead of this failing project."
Lord Berkeley, deputy chair of the Oakervee Review which slammed HS2, called for it to be "put into administration" after forecasting its budget would hit £155bn.
He said it should be replaced with an east-west rail route.

Umbilical cord stem cells could be a treatment for heart failure, small study suggests
By Gia Miller
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 27, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Instead of throwing away the umbilical cord after birth, new research suggests using this medical waste to potentially improve the lives of people with heart failure.
With parental permission, doctors used umbilical cords to harvest stem cells that were then injected into people with heart failure.
People who received those injections were monitored for a year, and were found to have an increase in heart muscle function. Study volunteers also reported positive changes in their day-to-day lives, regaining the ability to do things such as drive a car.
"Their quality of life really improved," said study author Dr. Fernando Figueroa. He's a professor and program director in translational research in cell therapy at the University of the Andes School of Medicine in Chile.
"A physician in Chile wrote us a very funny email after his infusion, saying how he felt more energy, the color of his skin changed, he was able to go back to work, and he was able to be with his wife," Figueroa said.
At least one expert suggested interpreting the study results with caution, however.
Dr. Mary Norine Walsh, medical director of the cardiac transplantation program at St. Vincent Heart Center in Indianapolis, said, "It's very encouraging, but the limitations of this study are that it was done in just a few patients and they were almost all men, and they were not that ill at baseline."
Walsh noted that because the study volunteers weren't very ill, it's not clear how patients would respond if they were sicker. She also pointed out that the study only had short-term data.
"But it is an interesting study because the investigators demonstrated that for some the end points in the trial there was an improvement for those patients that received stem cells compared to the patients who received the placebo," Walsh said.
The study included 30 patients, ages 18 to 75, who were receiving medication for heart failure, but were in stable condition.
The patients either received one intravenous infusion of stem cells from an umbilical cord or a placebo.
"The rationale behind our trial was to overcome two main hurdles that are facing stem cells today," said study co-author Maroun Khoury, a professor at the University of the Andes School of Medicine.
"The first is that many stem cell treatments require surgery to inject the cells into the heart muscles. With this, it was a noninvasive procedure where the patient had an injection, was monitored for two hours and then went home," Khoury said.
"The second is the variability. There have been a lot of clinical trials conducted where you are not able to see the outcome because they are using the cells of their donors, and the outcome will vary depending on the donor's cells," he explained.
"We decided to use one source of cells from an umbilical cord donation so the product is not a variable, it's constant, and the only variable is the patient," Khoury said.
The study authors were surprised and encouraged by the results.
Based on previous animal research they expected the stem cells to travel to the lungs.
Patients only had one injection, done in a peripheral vein. As expected, the stem cells traveled to the lungs, yet somehow heart function improved for an entire year, according to the study. Figueroa said the results were "kind of amazing."
No adverse side effects were found as a result of these injections.
The researchers plan to follow up with the study patients for three years to analyze the long-term outcome after one injection.
If the research continues to prove that umbilical cord stem cells are a viable option, Khoury said that they should be relatively easy to obtain. Most parents of newborns were happy to donate them when they learned they'd be used for a medical treatment, he said.
However, until that time, Walsh, who is also the president of the American College of Cardiology, encouraged heart patients to continue with their treatments.
"We have other therapies that can improve heart function and quality of life," she said.
"It's important for people to know that and take action and see their doctor if they feel ill. For many patients, our usual or standard therapy can be lifesaving," Walsh said.
The study was published Sept. 26 in the American Heart Association's Circulation Research.

Q: Bootstrap 4, full-height, full-width layout, chrome ok, firefox/ie11 not I have a simple prototype of what I'm trying to do. Chrome is fine with it, but it doesn't work in firefox or IE11 (haven't tried Edge). I'm using 'container-fluid' to get full width, 'h-100' to get full-height, and 'overflow-y' because I want to be able my left and right sections to scroll vertically as needed. What I see is the left-hand section contents overflows the section. I tried adding 'min-height' per this answer, but it didn't make a difference.
Is this a bootstrap bug (this is beta 2), or is there some additional styles I need to set?

A: Here you hit one of the most common error when using percent based height.
An element using percent for its height won't work unless the element's parent have a height (or being position absolute), and if the parent also use percent, its parent need a height, and so on, until the html element is reached, which get its height from the viewport's height.
By adding h100 to the .row and this rule, it will work
html, body {
  height: 100%;
}

Firebreather drops the second single »Creed« taken from their upcoming full-length album »Dwell In The Fog«
Swedish stoner/doom metal band Firebreather drops the second single »Creed« taken from their upcoming full-length album, »Dwell In The Fog«, set to release on February 25th, 2022 via RidingEasy Records.
01. Kiss Of Your Blade
02. Dwell In The Fog
03. Weather The Storm
04. Sorrow
05. Creed
06. Spirit's Flown
From RidingEasy Records:
Gothenburg, Sweden trio Firebreather's 2019 RidingEasy Records debut album »Under A Blood Moon« was a powerhouse that most certainly established the band's incendiary potential. But none of us would be prepared for the suffocating onslaught that is »Dwell In The Fog«. While that album was in-your-face and raw, »Dwell In The Fog« rumbles and rages with a fury the band had only hinted at previously.
Firebreather has a streamlined focus on driving, symphonic riffs in the vein of High On Fire, Inter Arma and their tour- and label-mates Monolord. The guitar and bass tones are, quite simply, entrancing. Paired with vocalist/guitarist Mattias Nööjd's guttural yet melodic howls and drummer Axel Wittbeck's groove based rhythms, their entire sound flows like thick, viscous lava.
"The album is a cathartic journey inwards and a musical continuation from »Under A Blood Moon«, but with more emphasis on groove and feel," Nööjd says. From the first notes of album opener »Kiss Of Your Blade« you'll know exactly what he means.
Like their preceding two albums, »Dwell In The Fog« was also recorded and mixed by engineer Oskar Karlsson at Elementstudion in Gothenburg. The band is joined by new bassist Nicklas Hellqvist on this album, who seems to have increased the thunder rumble tenfold.

From the aforementioned album opener »Kiss Of Your Blade«, with its droning opening chords over a rollicking tom pattern, the band quickly shifts gears into a head bobbing, serpentine riff with a transcendent melodic hook. Elsewhere, as on the title track and »Weather The Storm« rapid-fire hummable riffs come and go in an ever-shifting mass of devastating swirling churn. It's like the band has such an endless supply of great hooks that to, ahem, dwell for too long on any one would undo their constantly building momentum. That they somehow give each song, and the album as a whole, a streamlined and cohesive, monolithic groove is testament to their skill. And, proof that the album must be absorbed in its entirety to experience the overwhelming swaying and lunging low end growl that drives the band's most captivating work to date.
»Dwell In The Fog« will be available on LP, CD and download on February 25th, 2022 via RidingEasy Records.

Let's be clear at the outset. There is no evidence of a massive voter fraud problem in the United States. There is no evidence of even a modest voter fraud problem in the United States. There is no statistical evidence. There is no anecdotal evidence. There is no more evidence that we need national protections from voter fraud than there is that we need to wear personal lightning-rod suits so that we avoid the 30-odd deaths each year from electrical storms.
For any other president, then, an executive order establishing a "presidential advisory commission on election integrity" such as the one Donald Trump signed on Thursday would prompt a flurry of questions about why such a commission was needed. For Trump, though, it's part of the package: Directing government resources, however modest, to bolster a faulty political argument that he's embraced despite being repeatedly shown that it's false.
Per the executive order, the commission will "study the registration and voting processes used in Federal elections" and submit a report that identifies "laws, rules, policies, activities, strategies, and practices" that enhance or undermine confidence in the integrity of the voting system. The report will also identify "vulnerabilities in voting systems and practices used for Federal elections that could lead to improper voter registrations and improper voting, including fraudulent voter registrations and fraudulent voting." In other words, places on the human body susceptible to damage from lightning strikes.
Trump didn't introduce the idea of targeting voter fraud. It's been a hobbyhorse for Republicans for some time, offered as a rationale for new voter-registration limits that have the consistent side effect of making it harder for Democratic-voting populations to cast a ballot.
What Trump did is turbocharge it, using his platform on the campaign trail and then as president-elect to claim (completely without evidence) that fraud was rampant and threatened the results of national elections. When he first started down this path last summer, it seemed as if he was mostly seeding excuses for his likely loss in advance. But he kept up the same nonsensical claims even after he won, almost certainly because his win came despite having earned nearly 3 million fewer votes than his opponent.
The math there was simple. Lose by a few million votes and . . . voila.
In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally
Later, Trump made obvious the evidence for the claim: One random tweet from a guy who, six months later, still hasn't backed up his wild claims about fraud.
Trump just cobbles together a mishmash of ideas to support the idea that fraud is rampant. A Pew Trusts study from 2012 which pointed out that voter rolls aren't cleaned up regularly, which Trump blurs into an assertion that somehow millions vote illegally. Or a study that estimated that millions of immigrants in the country illegally might be casting ballots - which was undercut both by analysis pointing out a methodological flaw and by the lack of any evidence of millions of illegal voters.
That's really the thing. It's not as if no one is looking for examples of fraud; they are. They just aren't finding much. The administration of George W. Bush looked hard for fraud, and found next to nothing.
One of the people who's been hunting for fraud is Kris Kobach, Kansas' secretary of state. He recently made the rounds of the cable news networks after senior Trump aide Stephen Miller suggested that Kobach could prove the administration's fraud claims. Kobach claimed that millions of people were probably registered to vote illegally because, in Kansas, there were probably some 18,000 noncitizens on the voter rolls, which he knew because he'd found about 115 noncitizens who were either registered to vote or who had tried to register. In total, Kobach has won nine convictions for voter fraud - but only one was of a noncitizen.
This is the success story a senior White House official pointed to.
Kobach also demonstrates how the specter of voter fraud is used to affect voting patterns. The state of Kansas implemented a rule requiring new voters to prove that they were citizens, an effort Kobach championed. The effect was to prevent a number of prospective voters from being able to cast ballots - a group that Reuters determined "disproportionately [hit] young voters, who often do not have ready access to the needed documents, as well as unaffiliated and Democratic voters in the Republican-controlled state." The rule was eventually blocked by the courts.
Kobach will co-chair Trump's voter-fraud commission. He will be joined by Vice President Pence who, as governor of Indiana last year, was accused of voter suppression for a state police raid on a voter registration organization.
Again, this is trademark Trump. Violent crime is near its lowest point in decades, but it's politically expedient for him to claim otherwise, so he does. Immigrants commit crime at lower rates than native-born citizens, but Trump suggests that's not the case. Trump insists that his immigration ban is necessary to stem terrorism, but it wouldn't have prevented recent attacks in the United States.
In this case, his party will go along with it for an immediately obvious reason: It will provide cover for new laws making it trickier for Democrats to vote. A new study claiming that voter-ID laws - laws tightening registration rules - cost Hillary Clinton a victory in Wisconsin in 2016 is suspect, but a study from the Government Accountability Office estimated that voter-ID laws in Tennessee and (wait for it) Kansas led to 100,000 fewer voters in 2012. Younger voters and black voters were disproportionately affected.
A commission to study something that isn't a serious problem that will lead to a predictable set of conclusions that reinforce a political point. That itself is certainly not a new political strategy, but it's one that's nonetheless worth calling out.

Kate Middleton Hopped on the Sheer Dress Trend For Her Upcoming Christmas Special
By Editor / December 12, 2022

Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, just wore the sparkling sheer dress of our holiday party dreams.
On December 11, the Prince and Princess of Wales' official Instagram account shared a photo from the second annual Christmas special, Royal Carols: Together at Christmas. In the photo, the princess wore a sparkling red mid-length dress with sheer sleeves and delicate embellishments. In a second, behind-the-scenes photo shared on the royal couple's Instagram Story, Middleton can be seen pairing the dress with matching red pumps. Her hair was kept down in glossy loose waves and her makeup was kept minimal with a gold smoky eye and soft pink lips.
Despite the conservative nature of the royal family and the plethora of rules and codes that come with her senior role, Middleton is no stranger to a sheer dress moment. In fact, it's reported that a famous see-through design sparked her royal romance with Prince William all the way back in 2002. Clearly, she's still got it!
But back to the matter at hand. ITV will be airing Middleton's second annual Christmas special later this month as well as a message from the princess on the evening of December 11. "Join us this Christmas Eve for a very special service at Westminster Abbey, full of festive carols and beautiful performances, as we celebrate what makes this the most wonderful time of year," Middleton says in the upcoming promo, per People.
Kate Middleton started the new tradition in 2021 to pay tribute to all the hard work individuals and groups have done during the COVID-19 pandemic. This also marked the first time the then-Duchess of Cambridge played the piano for the public. Dressed in another red dress, Middleton accompanied singer-songwriter Tom Walker for a performance of his holiday song, "For Those Who Can't Be Here."
"I thought she absolutely smashed the performance," Walker told People at the time.
"It's not easy to just jump behind a piano with a bunch of musicians you've never played with before and record live takes to the camera, but she completely nailed it," he continued. She's such a lovely, kind, and warmhearted person and she took the time to thank everyone personally for the opportunity to play together. It was a crazy pinch-yourself kind of day for me, to be in such a beautiful venue playing alongside the duchess with my band and a string quartet. I certainly won't forget that in a hurry!"
Who knows what hidden talent she'll whip out this year?

The Princess of Wales's Dazzling State Dinner Outfit Honored Both Princess Diana and the Queen
By Editor / November 23, 2022
Kate Middleton has made her first black-tie appearance as the Princess of Wales.
At a state banquet for President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa, she stepped out in a white caped gown by Jenny PackhamJenny PackhamJenny Packham. Adorned with shimmering beading and a boat neckline, the dress was both a demure, yet still high-fashion, choice for an evening at Buckingham Palace.
Upon her head was the Lover's Knot Tiara. It's a favorite of the princess's—she's worn it on several occasions—yet still a deeply meaningful one. Originally, the Lover's Knot Tiara was commissioned for Queen Mary in 1913 from the House of Garrard, and is crafted from diamonds and 19 hanging pearls set in silver and gold.
The tiara eventually belonged to Queen Elizabeth II, who lent it to her daughter-in-law, Princess Diana. Through Diana's explosive fame, it became one of the most famous tiaras in history. (Although she may have not enjoyed it as much as the public: Allegedly, it was so heavy she got headaches after wearing it.) Indeed, a photo of her wearing the diadem with a white, pearl-encrusted Catherine Walker in 1989 is considered one of the most iconic images ever of the late Princess.
When Kate Middleton married Prince William in 2011—14 years after Diana's passing—Queen Elizabeth then passed it on to the young royal. Middleton's tiara wasn't the only piece of jewelry that played tribute to the royal women before her: On her wrist was a pearl bracelet that belonged to the late Queen, who passed away in September.
She accented her gilded ensemble with two badges. The first was the badge of the Royal Victorian Order, a white enamel Maltese cross with a Tudor crown, which the then–Duchess of Cambridge received from Queen Elizabeth in 2019 "for services to the sovereign." The second was the yellow Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth II, which is bestowed on female members of the British monarchy.
Her appearance at the state dinner marks one of the most glamorous royal moments in years, after such grand gatherings were put on hold during 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.

Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte Wore Matching Outfits For a Family Easter Outing
By Editor / April 18, 2022
Prince George and Princess Charlotte just made their official Easter debut with Kate Middleton and Prince William.
On April 17, the Cambridge family, minus three-year-old Prince Louis, attended Easter mass at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, per royal family tradition. For Prince George and Princess Charlotte's first time, the family opted to coordinate in matching blue outfits. Kate Middleton stunned in a belted cornflower Emilia Wickstead dress, clutch, and intricate dark blue headpiece, while Princess Charlotte wore a dress and tights in the same pastel shade. The six-year-old girl's navy cardigan and shoes served to compliment Prince George and Prince William's matching suits.
Look at this picture-perfect group:

This isn't the first time the Cambridge family has worn matching blue looks. Back in April 2020, the family was seen wearing various shades of the color during BBC Children and Comic Relief's Big Night In to raise money for those on the front lines of the pandemic. In the special, the family clapped for National Health Services workers.
Queen Elizabeth did not attend Easter services this year. The Queen has been staying at Windsor Castle since February as she recovers from Covid-19. During an April Zoom call, she spoke with another Covid patient and remarked that the virus has left her "tired and exhausted."
While the Queen has not been venturing out in public, it's been reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle paid her a visit on their way to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games. This marked the couple's first joint visit since moving to California in 2020, according to People.
While this was Markle's first time back in the U.K. since March 2020, Prince Harry had visited his grandmother twice. In April 2021, the Duke of Sussex flew in for Prince Philip's funeral before returning just a couple of months later to unveil a statue of his mom, the late Princess Diana.

Hurt To Run For Defenders
Posted: January 18th, 2019
Tags: Athletics, Varsity Athletics, Women's Athletics, Recruits, Cross Country, Track & Field
(Friday, January 18; Sioux Center, Iowa) Madeline Hurt, a senior at Le Mars Community High School (Iowa), has announced her intention to attend Dordt and join the track and cross country programs.
Hurt has qualified for the Iowa High School State Cross Country Championship Meet four times--the first Le Mars runner to do so, and finished 15th in 2015 with a time of 19:46. Hurt is a four-time all-Lakes Conference honoree and she ran 17th at the Senior All Star Meet held in November 2018. She's qualified for the state track and field meet in the 3,000 meters in both 2015 and 2016 and was a part of a conference champion cross country team in 2018.
Her personal bests are 11:04 in the 3,000 meters and 5:08 in the 1,500 meters. She ran a 19:36 on a 5,000 meter cross country course in 2017.
"I am excited that Maddie has announced her decision to attend Dordt and be part of the Defender Cross Country and Track & Field teams. She is a tough and talented runner that competes fiercely. She has had great success in high school and has been able to run with talented teammates and has had solid coaching as a Le Mars Bulldog. I look forward to her impact on our team and I am excited to work with her over the next four years," said Dordt cross country coach and assistant track and field coach Nate Wolf.
Madeline is the daughter of Dale and Julie Hurt of Le Mars, Iowa. She plans to study Elementary Education at Dordt.

Ceph: A Scalable, High-Performance Distributed File System
What is the problem the authors are trying to solve?
The authors are trying to decouple data and metadata management and to distribute, and scale, many operations that previously were consolidated in single servers (e.g. GFS master server).
What other approaches or solutions existed at the time that this work was done? What was wrong with the other approaches or solutions?
The related work discussed in the paper includes OceanStore, Farsite, Vesta, Galley, PVFS, Swift, GPFS, StorageTank, LegionFS, GFS, Sorrento, Federated Array of Bricks (FAB), pNFS, Lustre, Panasas file system, zFS, and Kybos. All of these related projects can be grouped as follows:
large-scale systems - OceanStore, Farsite
parallel systems - Vesta, Galley, PVFS, Swift
decoupled metadata and data management - GPFS, StorageTank
grid-based systems - LegionFS
workload-optimized - GFS, Sorrento
NAS systems - FAB, pNFS
object-based storage - Lustre, Panasas, zFS, Sorrento, Kybos
Ceph is object-based and so similar to the object-based storage systems, however it also decouples metadata and data management similarly (but much moreso and better than) GPFS and StorageTank. By following these two primary paradigms, Ceph is able to achieve scalability for general workloads and flexible cluster topologies compared to all of the aforementioned related works.
What is the authors' approach or solution? Why is it better than the other approaches or solutions? How does it perform?
Ceph's overall design is centered around a few key designs or components: (1) CRUSH for consistent and scalable assignment of objects to placement groups, (2) a few layers of indirection to decouple metadata and data management–placement groups and object storage devices, (3) Object storage devices can have more responsibility than just data persistence, and they can do these extra operations efficiently.
The CRUSH algorithm is able to handle dynamic cluster topologies, and thus allow placement groups to scale without needing strong consistency. This is an improvement over other work like GFS where the master server was responsible for namespace management. Although it's possible to vertically scale the master server, it necessarily has a limit to how performant it can be and reliable it can be, especially for a general use case.
The separation of metadata management into monitor servers (which manage placement groups) and data management into object storage devices allows metadata to be available and efficient, while object storage devices are able to flexibly exchange data objects between each other and with clients, enabling high-performance similarly to NASD and GFS, but more reliably than other related work.
Why is this work important?
This work is important because it is one of the first (maybe the first?) distributed storage system that provides scalability for general use cases, but also combines consistent hashing to enable scalable metadata management which is a key feature many other systems didn't have.
3+ comments/questions
I am still interested in seeing if it's possible to adapt the consistency model used in ceph to match particular workloads based on hints provided in application logic (http://research.aldrinmontana.com/blog/mixing-consistency/coalesced/diversifying-consistency-in-ceph)
I have started working with microservice-based distributed systems that use sidecar proxies for communication and I think it could be cool to see if the overhead of using such proxies in ceph would be an acceptable trade-off for gaining something akin to testing of other consistency protocols to see if there are other replication approaches that can further improve efficiency.
It would be interesting to try using the pipelined tcp transfer through OSD replicas within a placement group, which I don't think is used. Each replica could ack at the end of the data transfer that it was correctly done, and if at least 2 replicas have ack'd, then ensuring that other replicas have correct data can be resolved between the current replicas and the possibly stale replicas.
On the topic of the HDF5 project, it could be interesting to more closely integrate access library semantics in the monitor server in a way that group and dataset topologies (dataset shapes) can be managed at the namespace or metadata level, which maintains the decoupling between data and metadata for file formats such as HDF5.

Since 2000, YMOS has fielded teams at the World Series of Birding, an international birding competition sponsored by New Jersey Audubon in Cape May, NJ. Started in 1984 by Roger Tory Peterson and Pete Dunne, the annual competition brings together youth and adult teams from around the world to highlight the world of birds, raise money for bird conservation, and annually survey birds in the State of New Jersey. The event is usually held the 2nd Saturday in May to coincide with peak bird migration.
YMOS teams spend from 3 – 5 days prior to the Big Day scouting areas for birds. By late Friday, they plan their itinerary, choosing the shortest route to find the greatest number of species. Species can be identified by either sight or sound with the entire team finding and identifying each species. Teams begin at midnight and spend the night hours searching for owls, rails, and other nocturnal species while listening for overhead migrants. Each team has both a coach, who can verify identifications, and at least one parent driver who can safely navigate a lot of back roads and fascinating terrain. Parents play an essential role in the success of YMOS teams!
The YMOS teams compete in several youth categories, and over time have won each of the 4 possible categories: Elementary, Middle, High School, and the youth Carbon Free Category. On 2 occasions, our high school team has recorded the top overall species total, besting both youth and adult teams. The 2015 Raucous Gulls hold the current youth record with 217 species recorded that year. Most important, the teams learn teamwork and advanced birding skills. The event is as physical as it is academic with teams birding continuously 24 hours without a break. Feel the passion of the YMOS 2018 March Gigglers in their quest for the top spot, competing against several other top teams. Check out reports of the last several WSB trips as well as photographs of and by the teams.
All youth are welcome to apply to be on a team, but we recommend joining the group on trips during the year before deciding to apply. Prior experience in competitive birding is not necessary. A team must consist of at least 3 team members. The group conducts a Birdathon each March to raise funds for the World Series. Contact George Radcliffe for additional information.

U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin Helps Introduce Bipartisan Gray Wolf Delisting Bill
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Ron Johnson (R-WI), John Barrasso (R-WY) and Mike Enzi (R-WY) introduced bipartisan legislation that would delist the gray wolf in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Wyoming under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, and allow wolf management plans based on federal and state wildlife expertise to move forward without legal ambiguity.
"I have supported a bipartisan effort to delist the gray wolf in Wisconsin since 2011 because of the scientific conclusion that the population has recovered in the Great Lakes region and that is why we should return management to the State of Wisconsin. This bipartisan legislation is the best solution because it is driven by science and is focused on delisting in the Great Lakes region, including Wisconsin. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has started a long process that requires review of the wolf population across many states beyond the Great Lakes region, which will raise new questions and likely draw legal challenges making it all the more important that we pass this bipartisan legislation," said Senator Baldwin.
"Gray wolf listing decisions should come from state wildlife experts, not partisan federal judges. As the Interior Department moves forward with its rule to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act, the process will inevitably be tied up in the courts by activists who want Wisconsin's wolves to remain protected so their numbers and territory can continue to expand. Congress should pass legislation to allow certain states and tribes to move forward with wolf population management plans without legal ambiguity, and I'm pleased my bill has bipartisan support to do just that," said Senator Johnson.
"Wyoming has clearly demonstrated that a state can manage the gray wolf population successfully," said Senator Barrasso. "States have the expertise and know how to best manage wildlife populations."
"States have the best understanding for how to manage wolves in their areas," said Senator Enzi. "This bill would allow that to happen without continued interference from the courts. Wyoming has been dealing with this issue for decades. I trust local wildlife managers to manage wildlife better than those in Washington thousands of miles away."
Text of the bill can be found here. A brief explanation of the issue from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service can be found here.

DEATH VESSEL
Nothing is precious enough for us
18 août 2008	- SUB POP
This collection of music was written and sung by Joel Thibodeau. It is unlike anything you've ever heard. People will call it many things. Few will get it right. This is Death Vessel.
Nothing Is Precious Enough for Us exudes a unique ambition wider in scope than most of its peers. The musical reach is fully extended—deep into the past, grounded in the present and nodding to the future. Owing to the gritty avarice of Joel's singular spirit, voice and musicality, the songs—though rooted in a more traditional feel of folk and early Americana—sound as progressive, experimental and modern as they do antique and old-world. In fact, his hyper-tuneful and wholly spellbinding melodies seem to owe as much to '60s pop, rock and jazz as they do to bluegrass, old-time or country. The music is haunting and spiritual, mysterious and kind, ageless and contemporary, soulful and psychedelic. In short, it's where the requiem meets rock 'n' roll.
Joel moved from Boston to Providence in 1998, later spending a few years in Brooklyn around 2004 before settling back down in the outskirts of Providence last year. In the mid-'90s, Joel and his brother Alec formed String Builder—a musical partnership that would produce several albums (Mortar & From the Curb, String Builder) and a few singles. As that came to an end, Joel began writing songs under the name Death Vessel, working closely with Erik Carlson, whose songwriting input and unique guitar tonality helped shape the band's early sound. Death Vessel's debut album Stay Close was released in 2005 to critical acclaim.
Nothing Is Precious Enough for Us was recorded with longtime producer/collaborator Pete Donnelly (The Figgs) at his New Jersey studio, and various locales across the northeast with no steady band. Joel himself plays acoustic, electric and steel guitar, as well as drums, harmonica, mandolin, percussion and keyboard parts, inviting a revolving door of friends and players—like professional skateboarder/drummer Chuck Treece, horn player/organist Tim Harbeson, banjoist/guitarist/ukulele player Don Larson (also a former member of String Builder), drummer Freddie Berman, and singers Lisa Corson and Jennifer Black—to fill things out.
But the core and heart of the music belongs to Joel. His latticework foundation of acoustic finger-picking, paired with his unexpectedly high, peaked vocals, alternately keening, carousing and utterly captivating, is more than enough to sustain and propel this record to an otherworldly exuberance. In fact, for the past few years Joel has toured primarily as a solo performer, and the songs are inarguably mesmerizing and relevant in that setting. But on record they take on a new life, thanks to his and Donnelly's inspired, and often unusual, arrangements. The songs careen from triumphant and rejoicing ("Circa"), to sweet and sparse ("Jitterakadie"), and sometimes affect a sly, cornet-drizzled jazz feel ("The Widening") or the warm air of banjo-laden campfire songs ("Obadiah in Oblivion," "Fences Around Field"). Elsewhere, vaguely sinister songs are punctuated and often slashed about by searing electric guitar lines ("Exploded View," "Peninsula") and bursts of sound that are as satisfying, and rocking, as they are dire.
"Now I am versed in silence/my throat hurts, not from yelling but from holding back," Joel sings on "Block My Eye," the album's opening track. And that's ok, because the music speaks for itself. And nothing ever sounded so loud, and so clear.

Jarnó György, külföldön Georg Jarno, 1903-ig Kohner György (Pest, 1868. június 2. – Breslau, 1920. május 25.) magyar zeneszerző és karmester, aki különösen operettjeivel lett ismert.

Élete
Kohner Károly (1835–1908) lókereskedő, a magyar lóexport egyik megalapítója és Brettschneider Katalin (1841–1869) gyermekeként született a Király utcában. Édesanyját egyéves korában elvesztette. Az érettségit követően szülővárosában zenét tanult. Ezután különböző németországi városokban dolgozott karnagyként. Különösen nagy hatással volt későbbi életére breslaui tartózkodása, ahol 1895. május 12-én mutatták be első operáját, A fekete Kaschkát. Mivel a közönség jól fogadta, 1899-ben színre került második operája Az alameai bíró címmel. Életének következő állomása Hamburg volt. Itt került bemutatásra 1903-ban a Kleist vígjátéka nyomán készült Eltört kancsót. Mivel ez nem hozta meg a várt sikert, később beledolgozta a Johanniszauber című operettjébe.

1907-ben elfogadta Jarnó József, a két évvel idősebb bátyjának meghívását Bécsbe, aki miután 1899-ben a bécsi Józsefvárosi Színház igazgatójává vált, feleségül vette a bécsi szubrettet, Johanna Niesét. Neki keresett zeneszerzőt, aki operettet ír számára, amelyben főszerepet játszhat. Jarnó György Bernhard Buchbinder színész, újságíró közreműködésével – aki maga is dolgozott librettistaként – megírta a Die Försterchristel-t. 1907. december 17-én tartották a mű premierjét a Józsefvárosi Színházban. Nagy sikernek bizonyult, ami nem csak Jarnó, hanem sógornője számára is áttörést jelentett. Ekkortól lehetőséget kapott arra, hogy szabadúszó zeneszerzőként éljen és Bernhard Buchbinder vált műveinek fő librettistájává.

Jarnó sikert ért Das Musikantenmädel című operettjével is, melyet 1910-ben mutattak be. Manapság csupán a Försterchristel-t játsszák alkalmanként a városi színházakban, más műveit elfelejtették.

Élete végén Jarnó visszaköltözött Breslau-ba, ahol zeneszerzői karrierje elkezdődött. 1920. május 25-én hunyt el, nem sokkal az 52. életévének betöltése előtt. A város zsidó temetőjében helyezték végső nyugalomra.
