Q: Spigot on heroku using docker I'm trying to host a spigot minecraft server on heroku using docker. I know that heroku doesn't really support tcp so I use ngrok(localhost tunneling) to get around this. The image is based on the official openjdk 8-jre image and starts spigot and ngrok and then gets the ngrok address and uploads it to a pastebin service called ix.io. Everything works fine when I run the docker image locally but when i try to run it on heroku it sais:
Error R10 (Boot timeout) -> Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch
Stopping process with SIGKILL
State changed from starting to crashed

the complete log can be found here: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/paperbenni/6c1f4567dbf02cda299230eeb3391fc0/raw/7832444ed358131c9c6c57e330baa62b74cd113e/heroko%2520docker%2520spigot%2520logs
What is going on here? Does there have to be some sort of web service using things like nginx which can be accessed from a web browser in order for the app to be considered valid?(long and probably wrong spelled sentence, I know) I don't really get what's going on here.
Sidenote: there are some memory errors in the logs. The container runs fine locally when limited to 512mb RAM, so maybe someone could help me out with that.

A: Check that your port is right and make sure that you still have heroku run time. That could be the error. Hope I helped! :)
EDIT: When you run your server, it runs through "dynos". These dynos can only have 512mb RAM. If you world uses more than that, consider making a smaller world or lower the RAM.
Lower RAM: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/server-optimization-lowering-ram.10999/
It should be in properties xml file etc.

teaching + Residencies — Bill Young / Colleen Thomas & Co.
We can offer the following possibilities for classes and workshops for trained and untrained performers - contemporary technique, contact/partnering, and a repertory and/or composition workshop. Classes will be offered by Bill Young, Colleen Thomas, and other members of the company.
The class will feature a full-bodied, contemporary warm-up, culminating with learning an extended phrase from the repertory - material that emphasizes off-center work - riding momentum at the edge of balance.
Study the principles of the partnering technique that is now required of almost all contemporary dancers, with 2 masters of the form for over 40 years. Sensation building, center connection and finding the safe edges of risk. Open to all dancers.
A class specifically devoted to Contact Improvisation, as studied and developed by Bill Young since the beginning of his career at Oberlin College (the birthplace of Contact). After exploring fundamental principles of Contact as an technique within improvisation, the class then focuses on using these skills to learn specific set sections of contact-based partnering from the repertory, as well as for the creation of new material, using as a model the company's unique methods for the development of partnering sequences.
Participants will learn an excerpt of a recent work by Bill Young/Colleen Thomas and Dancers - and to explore within themselves the company's extreme and dynamic movement language, and their fluid and magical partnering.

Their limbs are more white – Than shafts of moonshine: They are more fleet – Than the March wind. They laugh and are glad – And are terrible: When their lances shake and glitter – Every green leaf quivers.
How beautiful they are, – How beautiful, – The lordly ones – In the hollow hills.
I would go back – To the Country of the Young, – And see again the lances of the Shee, As they keep their hosting – With laughing cries – In pale places – Under the moon.
Mider's song by Fiona Macleod, The Immortal Hour.
Attached to the chakras of earth, water, fire, air and space are realities – populated worlds, these are known as the elemental realms.
In the separation, we became disconnected from our sonic awareness and lost our elemental connection to our 90% earth, water, fire and air. We were spelled to believe that the outside world was separate from the inside world and as I have covered in my latest articles, humanity was led away from inner space into the world outside. If we look at the human body we will find 10% small sun inside our solar plexus and the 90% big sun in the world outside of self. The same applies to earth, water and air, we have 10% and the plane/planet is the 90% of our hijacked DNA. Our bones and flesh are the mountains and the meadows; our water – the rushing streams and roaring oceans; the small fire in our solar plexus is a reflection of the sun; and the great winds that blow from all directions is the air that gives us life.
We are caught up in a deception so pervasive – a mind screw so entrenched in our psyche that only intuitive imagination and awareness can reveal the truth to us.
We have eight elemental realities attached to the human chakra system. These entities belong to us and are part of our compromised multi-dimensional DNA awareness. Below are the musical tones of the elemental realities.
Earth: is fixed and has one elemental tone. The unison which is the same note sounded in each ear.
Water: rises and falls and has two elemental realities attached to it. Water rising corresponds to the seventh interval C + B and water falling the 2nd interval C + D.
Fire: rises and falls and has two realities attached to it. Fire rising is a sixth interval C + A and fire falling is a third C + E.
Aether: is fixed and has one elemental tone: the octave.
More information on the five elements can be found in Dr John Beaulieu's book: Music and Sound in the Healing Arts.
To conjure a being from the elemental realms, we need to know the sound and phonetics of its reality, the colour of its direction(element), the perfume or incense, and the geometric that belongs to its world. As an example: if we wished to conjure a fire elemental, we would use a star tetrahedron in a circle, yellow candles, yellow flags, ginger or a fire perfume, the sacred tones and phonetics would be spoken to the direction of south – the direction of the fire principle.
The wizard casts his magic circle – and using sacred language can call upon the spiritual reality of his choosing.
Elemental reality is dual and is even more dangerous for the unaware than physical reality. We all know the dangers inherent in dealing with psychotic people, poisonous insects and reptiles, but we are unaware of the dangers of the unseen worlds. Everything that exists is vibration – and elementals – positive and negative are attracted and drawn to our energy fields and chakra system through sympathetic resonance. Therefore, anyone who has an unstable mind; drug or alcohol addiction; a lot of baggage and emotional issues, should steer clear of any psychic work. Possession of human thinking by negative entities is a fact whether we believe it or not, and if we have a power agenda – the elemental worlds will exploit our desire. If you play… you pay.
I would like to echo George's words and say: Elementals are our lost multi-dimensional awareness and we should welcome their return for That Art Thou.
The delicate silvery spring and clink – Of faery lances underneath the moon.
Start the journey: Pick up a copy of the The Key made of Air and the Gates to Pandemonia- and join the fourth dimensional rebellion.

The design of the British Passport coat of arms is an alchemical sigil to block the Anja and sahasrara, and to drain from the sexual centre.
It is only my view, but conjuring is never done for the craic, there should always be an accord and a worthy purpose of intent. Even Loki's tricks had a transforming purpose, often to counteract the priggishness of the self-righteous Aesir.
I'm glad you put in a warning about not being ready to call the spirits. We must do the best we can to remove self or ego from any sacred ceremony. Yes, healings can still happen, but, as you say with a price to pay. We must get ourselves out of the way and trust our true feelings. We know when something is good or bad. We must pay attention to what we are feeling, doing and thinking at all times, but mostly in ceremony.
What a great comment, Bill.
Thank you, Elva. Yes, too many people are doing ceremony with an inner agenda. "Hey, look at me. I'm conducting this ceremony." When done from that place, the spirits that come in to help are of a lower vibration. I remember going to some sweat lodges years ago where it just felt off. At the time I didn't know what it was. Just off. If we could only get out of the way and just let the real magic happen.
That's why we have to be careful who we pray with.
Bill, that is why I prefer to work alone, or in a single partnership.

Timely tips on designing for circularity
RP Siegel
Wednesday, June 26, 2019 - 1:35am
Time Into Pixels Photography
Beth Rattner, executive director of the Biomimicry Institute, reminds us that countless organizations have had tremendous success borrowing from nature as a way of generating new and valuable ideas.
Someday, when we're on the other side of this, we'll look back on today's "take, make, waste" economy and recognize it as a cautionary tale of incomplete design that failed to look beyond its immediate consequences.
But in order to get to that place, we have lots of redesign work to do, not just of individual products and services, but of our entire way of looking at, and our entire system of dealing with materials. Perhaps Ashima Sukhdev, who leads the Government and Cities Program at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, nailed it when she told attendees of last week's Circularlity 19, "Waste is created at the design stage."
When you design for recovery, you grow your own feedstock.
Conference attendees looking to learn how to design waste-free products and services received a lot of helpful guidance along those lines throughout the conference from a broad array of experts and trailblazers.
The first step is recognizing the value of designing for circularity at a time when the world is still mostly linear. As Adam Gendell, associate director of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, said during the Circular Packaging 101 tutorial at the conference, "When you design for recovery, you grow your own feedstock."
A matter of materials
How exactly does one design for recovery? One excellent resource for considering that question is the Association of Plastic Recyclers' "Design for Recycling Guide." While the guide is focused primarily on packaging concerns, many of the same principles could be applied to any recyclable plastic items. The label "circular" in the context of the guide refers to items that are renewably sourced, which generally means plant-based, or that are recycled inputs as well as being recyclable themselves.
Sometimes making an item circular is a matter of changing materials. For example, 3M has redesigned its Scotch-Brite sponges several times, most recently using 50 percent plant-based agave fibers, which makes it more circular.
The new greener sponge sells for the same price as its less-green predecessor. However, cautions Gendell, if you're designing for recovery, simply changing materials may not be sufficient.
You should really "consider the flow through a materials recovery facility" (MRF) as you contemplate your new waste-free design, Gendell said. Even though a material might be technically recyclable, the size and shape of the item or the combination of the material and its color could make the item less desirable to recyclers. If recyclers do not want an item, it will end up in the landfill, along with your organization's good intentions.
3M has redesigned its Scotch-Brite sponges several times, most recently using 50 percent plant-based agave fibers, which makes it more circular.
Some examples include opaque and dark-colored polyethylene terephthalate (PET), very small or pointed objects or very thin, flexible items. Small items can fall through cracks, and flexible items can tangle in the gears. Most demand for PET is for transparent bottles, which cannot be made from opaque feedstock. Someday, when we have better chemical recycling options, those colors can be separated out, but for most materials, that's a topic (and an opportunity) for another day. Meanwhile, opaque and dark-colored high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) have no problem finding markets.
In other cases, the product must be rethought entirely before it can become circular. Of course, even though that's more work, it also represents a tremendous opportunity, according to design experts speaking at Circularity 19.
Chris Krohn, program manager at OpenIdeo, talks about "creating a disproportionate impact through design." Among the relevant questions he suggests designers ponder: Can your product do more and affect less? Can it be made of fewer parts? How about a single material?
Consider the ubiquitous spray bottle used in everything from window cleaner to stain removers. The presence of a steel spring jams up the recycling process. But a new version using a plastic spring will breeze right through. At the same time, that design is compatible with a wider range of products.
Similarly, multilayer films and laminates are not recycle-friendly. Can a single material do the job? If you're starting with a clean sheet, then why not look to nature for inspiration? After all, nature already has figured out ways to do just about everything we're trying to do and does them all sustainably without waste.
Businesses taking back items from customers want product designs that emphasize durability, repairability and disassembly.
Beth Rattner, executive director of the Biomimicry Institute, suggests the Ask Nature web page, which cross-references hundreds of natural solutions by function. Type in "recycling" and get dozens of suggestions ranging from "metabolism induces formation of calcium carbonate" to "fungal root rot renews forest." While those principles might not sound as if they pertain to your product, you might be surprised what you'll find.
Another important lesson to learn from nature: While the periodic table has 118 elements, nature only uses a handful. Why? So that the vast diversity of living organisms can nourish each other. Countless organizations have had tremendous success using biomimicry as a way of generating new and valuable ideas. For example, Velcro was inspired by a thistle burr, and wind turbines tightly spaced following the example of fish schools, resulting in improved efficiency.
Getting designers to think differently
Target worked with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation to train its 1,000 designers on the principles of circular design. All designers received the same course, which emphasized material choice, durability, repairability and recyclability.
A common refrain heard throughout the Circularity 19 conference was that "there is no silver bullet," each product must be considered based on its own unique characteristics. In some cases, regional, national or other factors, such as recycling capabilities or regulations also could influence design choices and at times could result in multiple versions.
For example, Sam Davenport, a furniture maker (57th St Design), offers a "circulated" option to customers, where they pledge to buy the refurbished item back at a fair price, with store credit, at any time in any condition. But the company also provides a non-circulated version, at a higher price, for those that prefer an all-new item.
Businesses taking back items from customers, as Target has done with its car seats, want product designs that emphasize durability, repairability and design for disassembly. If they can anticipate which elements will wear out and make those easily replaceable, their circular supply chain will run more smoothly.
Some companies, such as Caterpillar and Xerox, have been remanufacturing products for decades — well before the circular terminology came into being. The Remade Institute, which includes both companies, continues to research solutions to pinch points that make remanufacturing difficult, such as improving separation and repair techniques, as well as teaching Design for Remanufacturing.
But it's not just heavy equipment makers taking back products when their customers are done with them. Clothing and outdoor equipment brands such as Acteryx and REI are jumping into the recommerce game, leveraging the inherent durability designed into their products.
An opportunity to differentiate
One surely could write an entire book on the question of Designing for Circularity, but we would be remiss if we didn't take a step back and consider the question in a broader way. As President Dwight Eisenhower famously said, "Whenever I run into a problem I can't solve, I always make it bigger." So perhaps designing a product for the circular economy shouldn't just be about making your product recyclable. Maybe it would make more sense to make the item compostable or infinitely reusable.
But if we make the problem bigger, as Ike suggests, maybe the whole system needs to change. That's the conclusion TerraCycle founder and CEO Tom Szaky came to when he thought about the world he would like to live in.
Not convinced that recycling really addresses the root cause of waste, TerraCycle came up with the Loop program that launched in May in the United States and France. Loop literally throws away the idea of single-use containers, recyclable or not. Szaky pointed out that as companies work to make their packaging cheaper, there is an ever-diminishing amount of value for recyclers to even bother with. It appears to be a one-way street towards a dead-end.
With Loop, participating brands, including Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Clorox, Nestlé, Mars, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, are battling to outdo one another with beautifully designed reusable packages that can be refilled. Buy your ice cream in a beautiful and durable stainless-steel tin. When you are done, a pickup can be arranged in a specially designed tote, and the container is cleaned and returned to be refilled.
Taking it up another level, Eva Gladek, founder and CEO of Metabolic, would like us to have a look at what Charlotte, North Carolina is doing — where the city is redesigning many local systems with circularity in mind.
For example, the city is committed to the goal of zero waste, as put forth in its Circular Charlotte initiative. The plan involves innovative elements such as using food waste to feed insects, which are then fed to poultry, or transforming demolition concrete and waste glass into new concrete. Not only do both projects, and others like them, clean up the environment, they also create jobs. Likewise, architect Will McDonough's Park 20/20 plan describes a city that is beautiful, highly livable and that can feed and power itself.
Perhaps these examples of circular design could serve as benchmarks for aspiring circular designers. Once your new green designs start to exhibit multiple synergistic benefits, you know you're on the right track. If it doesn't, then perhaps you need to deep deeper or think bigger.

Summit On Tackling Human Trafficking
26 February 2016, 08:53 | Updated: 26 February 2016, 08:56
Prosecutors from across the UK have signed up to new commitments to tackle human trafficking.
Alison Saunders, Director of Public Prosecutions for England and Wales, is hosting a meeting in London on Friday looking at ways organisations can work together to react to the changing nature of trafficking around the world.
The summit follows a similar one in October 2014 at the Scottish Parliament in which agencies fighting crime were brought together for the first time to discuss how best to detect and prosecute cases.
Since then, Holyrood has passed legislation which creates a specific offence of human trafficking as well as increasing the maximum penalty for offenders to life imprisonment.
Ms Saunders, Scotland's Lord Advocate and the Public Prosecutor for Northern Ireland have now signed up to an action plan. The Director of Public Prosecutions for Ireland also took part in discussions.
The commitments set out ways in which the three organisations will work closely together in order to disrupt networks, prosecute traffickers and safeguard victims' rights.
Speaking ahead of the summit, Scotland's top law officer Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland QC said the meeting with the heads of prosecution was vital.
"This offending doesn't recognise nationalities or borders, it exploits the vulnerable, it exploits people who are economically poor wanting a better life,'' he said.
"There's been a whole series of meetings in the intervening period from 2014 resulting in this agreement which will be published.
"There are three main themes to it. Firstly, there's co-operation - which is unprecedented, I think, across one area of criminality.
"The heads of prosecution have agreed to work together, to share information, to meet and share intelligence and evidence if there are any cases which cross borders.
"The second element is to agree that there is a real focus on the victim of human trafficking where the complex dynamic is that victims don't often know they are victims because of the nature of the crime, the grooming, the coercive control and the dependence the victim has on the trafficker.
"The third aspect of the agreement is training and sharing knowledge so that we have our prosecutors skilled up as best as possible with the most up-to-date intelligence and information available.''
Ms Saunders said: "Trafficking and slavery are abhorrent crimes.
"The profile of trafficking continues to change and signing up to these commitments means that we can work more effectively across the UK in order to tackle these crimes.
"We are committed to working with our prosecuting partners and police forces at home and abroad in order to bring the strongest possible cases against those who seek to traffic and enslave.
"We must adapt to meet that challenge. We have seen an increase in trafficking people for the purpose of sham marriages and it is also now the case that the number of victims, many of whom are men, trafficked to be labourers or domestic workers is exceeding those for sexual exploitation.
"We will continue to develop bespoke training for police and prosecutors and share our experiences and learn from each other on how best to prosecute these cases.''

'I'm uncomfortable with the way my son's teacher talks to him. Is this normal?'
I turned up to my son's school recently to see his teacher telling him off. She was clearly angry with him and a bit shouty. I stood there as she got stuck into him. She went on and on, to the point that I was feeling uncomfortable. My son tried to hide it, but I could see that he was really upset.
Yep, my son had done something wrong. He was racing around recklessly. I'm not going to pretend he's an angel, and I'm not going to say he shouldn't have been told off. But I didn't like the way the teacher was talking to him. It was unnecessarily harsh. I wouldn't talk to him like that. So what do you say? Can you say anything?
In the years that my kids have been in primary school, it's become pretty obvious that teachers are a lucky dip. Most of them are good. In fact, great. They manage to stay calm while keeping control of a rowdy bunch of kids. They're firm but kind. I am in awe of them.
But not all teachers are great. At my kids' school, as well as the harsh teacher, there is one who tries to get kids to behave by humiliating them. She likes to single out kids at assembly, mention them by name, ask them a series of mocking questions ("Oh, sorry, are we interrupting your conversation, are we?") and make them squirm.
Little Kids: Does Sex Really Induce Labor?
This Glorious Mess
Most schools seem to have a harsh teacher or two, like the one my son has. One mum friend told me about the time her five-year-old almost burst into tears when a teacher yelled at her for running on the asphalt. Another told me that her daughter got an angry telling-off for walking over and sitting next to a kid who was being punished.
Other parents have witnessed even worse things going on at their schools.
Oh yeah, I know. In the old days it was the strap and the cane and the blackboard duster thrown across the classroom. Today's kids don't know how lucky they are, blah blah blah.
But the fact is, today's kids are brought up differently. As parents, we read the books and we listen to the experts. We're told that we should set clear boundaries, but always be kind to our kids. We're told that we should never yell at them because it's harmful, maybe as harmful as smacking. We're supposed to be setting an example for how we'd like them to treat other people.
And then they come to school, and if they're unlucky, they end up with a harsh teacher or one who humiliates kids.
You could say it prepares them for the real world. But in the real world these days, bosses can't get away with raising their voices at their employees or singling them out for ridicule. Not in most workplaces, anyway.
A child's teacher makes a massive difference to their life – for that year of their childhood, and maybe into the future. Am I asking too much to want my son to have a teacher who speaks kindly to him, in primary school at least?

If you think this is bad I have to wonder how you are coping in the real world. When I was in primary school (30 years ago) I was what we would now call ''emotionally abused'' by two teachers. I was called stupid, useless, told I would never achieve anything and that it was no wonder no one liked me. These kind of comments happened all throughout my primary school years. Have I let it affect me? No, because I decided from a very young age that as long as I liked myself and who I was as a person other peoples opinions about me didn't matter. Your son is going to meet a wide range of people when he enters the real world and if you don't prepare him for that he will continue to have issues throughout his life.
Mum of 2 sons 3 years ago
I can't speak for every teacher but in my experience most teachers do not yell/shout. But when they do raise their voice, it is usually a very effective tool to stop a child in their tracks.
Kids are raised differently these days and doesn't that show in the classroom. Some parents do not know how to say "No" to their children and it reflects in their behaviour because they come to think that everything in life is a choice (e.g. I don't want to do write that narrative or finish my maths) and that there are consequences for those choices.
It is a fact that some parents do not want their children disciplined because they get "upset" due to the consequences of that discipline.
Yes, there are workplaces where teens will be yelled at. DS19 was sworn at by his boss for not completing a form correctly. He just laughed about it. While the boss was out of line, people are human and stuff like that happens. We all have to deal with a range of people throughout our lives. It is a skill and you're never too young to learn.

Sigh... now even the pilots that are actually ready to air aren't necessarily being sent out. The following lovely press release from the CW:
"The CW and our studio partner CBS Paramount Network Television have made the strategic marketing decision not to screen "90210" for any media in advance of its premiere. We're not hiding anything . . . simply keeping a lid on 90210 until 9.02, riding the curiosity and anticipation into premiere night, and letting all our constituents see it at the same time."
Now, everybody knows that movie studios don't screen movies that they know stink, and it's long been a tradition for the networks to not send out advance copies of any remotely controversial reality show, but for a network to sit on the pilot of a scripted show, especially one the media had already hyped so much, is a new -- but not necessarily surprising -- one on me.
Like I said last week when the Tori Spelling news came out, I'm beginning to think the new "90210" is going to please neither of its two potential constituencies: not enough old-school characters for the geezers like me, too much (really, any) '90s nostalgia for the younger audience (who allegedly don't watch anything on television anyway, based on the over-the-air ratings for "Gossip Girl"). Given the amount of alleged curiosity about the remake/sequel/whatever, there may be no way "90210" can be helped by going out in advance. (Even positive reviews could be seen as a detriment, based on that whole "Every parent's worst nightmare" campaign for "Gossip Girl.")
But if I'm the CW, a network struggling to justify its existence, and the show that's going to make or break my future is premiering the day after Labor Day, weeks before most people are going to be in the habit of checking out new shows, you'd think getting every bit of potential publicity would be the way to go, no?
Maybe they're banking on people like me being suckers and writing about the show sight unseen. I suppose a blog post like this one (which mentions the show's name several times and refers to the premiere date) suggests that I'm exactly that kind of sucker.
If "90210" does any kind of number when it debuts, I wonder how many other rookies get this treatment. In the meantime, Rich Heldenfels has now done five more recaps of vintage mom-jeans "90210," for episode 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
I bet this is all Brenda's fault!
Ooooo, that Brenda. She makes me so mad.
12:00 AM, August 19, 2008
I still dont understand the point of using the 90210 title, just make a new name and say its a teen drama similar to 90210, OC, etc. I guess using the brand has drawn more attention than naming the show "LA High", but in the end its not going to help. And to me using those old 90210 characters just seems like a desperate ploy to get ratings. It will get old quick once people realize they dont want to see a 35 year old Brenda Walsh.
I did catch some Gossip Girls episodes recently and Im going to try to make room for it this fall. The acting is not great and some of the show is so bad its painful to watch, but the two female leads are two of the hottest chicks on tv and they do a great job showing them off. Its a fun show

Hey, that's Michael from The Wire in the middle! Glad at least one of the kids found some good work.
Maybe this way if young viewers want to see the show first, they must watch it on TV on premiere night, because there won't be any leaked screener online. Do you think that could be it?
If they're releasing this on 9/02, presumably to coincide the title with the date, shouldn't they wait until 2010 to debut the show?
Can I just say it's amazing that Lori Laughlin looks better than each one of the 17-25 year olds on that show? That woman is holding up well.

Der Anlagensee ist ein künstlich angelegter See in Tübingen. Er ist das zentrale Objekt der »Städtischen Anlagen« in unmittelbaren Nähe des Hauptbahnhofs.

Lage

Das rund zwei Hektar große, bis zu drei Meter tiefe, etwa 50 Millionen Liter fassende Gewässer befindet sich in dem Park am Anlagensee südlich des Neckars, das nach Norden hin von der Uhlandstraße und nach Süden hin von der Europastraße begrenzt wird. Der Anlagensee wird an seiner westlichen Seite durch den aus Richtung Derendingen kommenden Mühlbach gespeist und ist im Osten durch einen Abfluss mit dem Neckar verbunden.

Der den See umgebende Park wird hauptsächlich von Spaziergängern genutzt und beinhaltet einen Abenteuerspielplatz. Direkt angrenzend an den Park befinden sich die drei ältesten Tübinger Gymnasien: das Uhland-Gymnasium und das Kepler-Gymnasium an der Uhlandstraße sowie das Wildermuth-Gymnasium an der Derendinger Allee.

Geschichte
Die Idee für den Bau des Anlagensees wurde 1901 von dem Bürgerverein der Stadt vorgelegt. Im Zusammenhang mit der geplanten Neckarkorrektion wollte man auf diese Weise die unmittelbar nordwestlich des Hauptbahnhofs gelegene Parkanlage bereichern und ferner ihre Bebauung verhindern. Der bisher von den Überschwemmungen geplagte Mittlere Wöhrd (Neckarwiesen) wäre danach zum Bebauen geeignet gewesen. Da der Boden dort sehr schlammig war, zog sich das Graben des Beckens länger als geplant, nämlich von 1906 bis 1908. Als die Grube fertig war, wurden 1908 die Uferböschungen bepflanzt. Man bettete außerdem einige Bäume vom Unteren Wöhrd an den Anlagensee um. Der den See umgebende Park wurde von dem Universitätsgärtner Ernst Schelle 1906 konzipiert und in den folgenden Jahren angelegt. 1926 wurde im See nahe dem nördlichen Ufer die sogenannte Danneckersche Nymphengruppe (eine Kopie der Wasser- und Wiesennymphe des Bildhauers Johann Heinrich Dannecker) aufgestellt.

Vegetation
Der Anlagensee wird durch den Tübinger Fischereiverein mit Brut besetzt. Als problematisch gilt die schlechte Wasserqualität, welche hauptsächlich auf die sehr starke Bevölkerung durch Wasservögel (Schwäne, Enten) zurückzuführen ist, die von den Parkbesuchern mit Brot gefüttert werden. Auch die Müllbelastung ist hoch. Als Badesee ist der Anlagensee daher nicht geeignet.

Winter
In kalten Wintern ist die Eisfläche des zugefrorenen Anlagensee beliebt bei Schlittschuhläufern und Spaziergängern, obwohl das Betreten amtlich als lebensgefährlich verboten ist.

Wintern des Sees

In manchen Wintern wird das Wasser des Anlagensees abgelassen. Hierzu wird der Wasserpegel zunächst auf einen sehr niedrigen Wert abgesenkt, anschließend die Fische vom Kreisfischereiverein gefischt und in anderen Gewässern ausgesetzt. Anschließend wird das restliche Wasser abgelassen.

Grund für das Ablassen des Wassers ist, dass so der Boden die Möglichkeit zum Sauerstoffkontakt bekommt, zerfällt und die Schlammschicht dadurch erheblich verringert wird.

Park

Unter anderem wegen seiner nicht unmittelbar an Wohngebiete angrenzenden Lage wird der Park am Anlagensee häufig für Festivals, Konzerte und andere Veranstaltungen genutzt. Besonders bekannt ist der WM-Park, eine Public-Viewing-Veranstaltung, bei der 2006, 2010 und 2014 die Spiele der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft auf Großbildleinwänden übertragen wurden. Auch 2018 wurden hier die Spiele der deutschen Mannschaft gezeigt.

Sony closing retail store at 550 Madison Avenue
Electronics giant will relocate store, along with corporate office, to 11 Madison Avenue
New York /
Jan.January 11, 2016 06:00 PM
Sony will be moving more than just its corporate headquarters out of 550 Madison Avenue in Midtown. The electronics giant is set to close its retail store at the base of the 36-story Midtown office-turned-luxury-condominium tower.
The company will vacate more than 25,000 square feet at the base of 550 Madison Avenue, located between East 55th and East 56th streets, where it has operated for nearly 22 years.
The move comes as Sony plans to relocate its New York corporate headquarters out of the 700,000-square-foot building – which it sold to the Chetrit Group and Clipper Equity for $1.1 billion in 2013 – to SL Green Realty's 11 Madison Avenue, where it will reopen the retail store, according to Crain's.
Chetrit and Clipper hired RKF broker Karen Bellantoni to market the vacated space at 550 Madison Avenue, which includes 15,000 square feet of conventional ground-floor and basement store space and another 10,000 square feet on the second and third floors.
The upper floors of the retail space are zoned for cultural use, Crain's reports, and Bellantoni is targeting a tenant that would potentially use that space as a showroom or museum. Sony currently houses its Wonder Lab technology and entertainment museum in the space.
Asking rent for the Sony retail space would be above $1,000 per square foot, Bellantoni said.
The reopened retail store at 11 Madison Avenue would be one of two standalone Sony retail locations in the country, as the company as shuttered most of its stores in recent years. The other location would be in Los Angeles.
Chetrit and Clipper, meanwhile, are in the process of converting 550 Madison Avenue into a luxury residential building holding 113 condos as well as a 170-key hotel. [Crain's] – Rey Mashayekhi

NHL Trade Review: Red Wings acquire Perlini
The Detroit Red Wings have acquired forward Brendan Perlini from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for defenseman Alec Regula.
The Blackhawks have not been using Perlini. He had been healthy scratched in all but one of the Blackhawks\' first 10 games this season, leading to him asking for a trade. A former 12th overall pick, the United Kingdom native has potential. The Red Wings could use Perlini for their bottom six. He is still 23, and is making under $900k. He will be an RFA after the season. Perlini was acquired with Dylan Strome from the Coyotes last season, and had 15 points in 46 games post trade.
Perlini, 23, has no points in one game this year. He scored 14 goals with seven assists for 21 points in 68 games last season. In his NHL career for the Blackhawks and Arizona Coyotes, Perlini has scored 45 goals with 27 assists for 72 points in 200 games.
In return for their extra forward, the Blackhawks received Regula. He was drafted by Detroit in the third round in 2018. The defenseman is currently off to a very hot start for the OHL\'s London Knights. Up until their five goal effort yesterday, the Blackhawks had scored just 20 goals in nine games this season, but that is now up to a not terrible 25 in 10 games. Giving a forward like Perlini a chance could have helped. However, Regula is a good prospect, and this could be a big win for them.
Regula, 19, has scored four goal with seven assists for 11 points in 10 games for the Knights this year. In three seasons for London, Regula has scored 22 goals with 53 assists for 75 points in 143 games.

In this episode, Craig Mumm, associate principal viola of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, shares stories of his career at the MET. Coming from a musical family, he tells us of his exciting journey to the MET and how his family influenced his path as a musician. Hear stories of incredible singers, and breathless moments from his favorite times in the orchestra.
Craig Mumm, associate principal viola of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, shares his favorite moments from his life in the opera pit.  From inspiring singers, to working with Carlos Kleiber, we hear some of the opera's most beautiful moments.
Craig Mumm grew up in Milwaukee where he studied violin with his father, Edward Mumm, Concertmaster of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. In college, Craig studied violin and viola with Shmuel Ashkenasi, first violinist of the Vermeer String Quartet. Before joining the MET, Mumm performed in orchestras in Chicago and Germany.
Mr. Mumm is a member of the faculty of the Orchestral Performance Program at Manhattan School of Music and of the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. He has also served on the faculty of the Juilliard School in the Music Advancement Program. Mr. Mumm is a frequent coach and audition adjudicator for the MSM orchestras as well as for the New York Youth Symphony, the New Jersey Youth Symphony, and the InterSchool Orchestras of New York, where he serves on the advisory council.
Internationally known for his passion and advocacy of youth music programs, Mr. Mumm is a faculty member of YOA Orchestra of the Americas, participating in YOA's residencies and tours; FEMUSC (Festival de Música de Santa Catarina) in Brazil; and the chamber music festival FIMCE (Festival Internacional de Música de Cámara del Elqui) in La Serena, Chile. Other recent engagements include residencies at the National System of Youth and Children's Orchestras, "El Sistema," in Caracas, Venezuela; Esperanza Azteca Puebla, Mexico; Filarmónica Joven de Colombia; the Alfredo de Saint-Malo Music Festival of Panamá (ASM); SINEM, Orquesta Sinfónica de Liberia, Costa Rica; and the Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music in Poland
Mr. Mumm is on the board of directors of the nonprofit humanitarian organization Music for Life International, whose mission is to create transformative social impact through music for the most vulnerable of our fellow human beings. In addition to performing in their yearly benefit concerts at Carnegie Hall, Mr. Mumm brought music directly to the children of Syria, performing and teaching at the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan.
This is a small excerpt of the Kleiber Rosenkavalier that Craig spoke so lovingly about.

There's a misconception among non-writers, that we writers simply make a book, put it up there on Amazon and watch the millions roll in. Now with the AuthorEarnings site up, there's even more speculation over numbers. I've posted before about how there is no one path and that even if you write a great book, nobody may ever read it. That's where social network marketing comes in, and there's a lot of it.
So I decided after flailing a little on this one novel I am in the middle of, that I would bite, and check out some of these social media services, since I myself, am not nearly as gifted at gaining a following on Twitter as most people, and that seems to be the one thing all authors need to do these days. And don't get me wrong, even if you are a traditionally published author, they still expect you to do this, promote yourself on the Twitters and Facebooks.
Now granted, I understand, and believe in the capitalist law that you have to spend money to make money. That being said, I tried two small experiments (now, keep in mind that with my lack of experience, I could have possibly done these better).
The first was a Twitter shotgunning site. These are where a twitter user has thousands of followers, who you can reach by paying them to tweet your book. In this case, it was a bargain for my shoestring budget. 500 tweats for somewhere in the neighborhood of $10, which for a starving, obscure author, seems like a deal and a half. So I signed up. It was pretty much as easy as a paypal signature and linking my book. They aggregated everything else from the link and my author profile alone. Easy!
Within a day I had an author page up on the site, linking to BLOOM, and I decided to try a second approach as well. I posted a link to the author page on Facebook, then decided to boost it using Facebook's ad engine. Again, I went cheap, and maybe that's part of my naivete here. I paid for a boost of about 10,000 views, which, to me seems like a lot. Again, this was all very tentative on my part. For the next 24 hours I watched my page views go from the tens to the tens of thousands. Yay me!
Meanwhile the twitter shotgun was firing every day, perhaps several times an hour, "Magnificent Fantasy Dystopia!" with my tag, and the link to the book. People retweeted, people tagged me, people posted this over and over… until I realized that they were all pretty much tweeting the same thing, all of them "Magnificent Fantasy Dystopia!" Every one of them. Word for word. It was, in essence, an echo chamber, all of the twitter accounts following one another, all of them giving the impression that they had thousands of followers, when in fact, they were the followers.
I gained maybe 5 twitter followers, but there's no direct correlation there. Now, this isn't really a cautionary tale, or a warning or any of that. Maybe with a wider net, it's possible I could have sold as many as TWO copies of BLOOM. That's almost a latte at Starbucks worth of profit!
All this being said, and all joking aside, the thing that sells books is word of mouth. If you love a book, you tell people about it. I buy books because people reference them on Reddit, or they tell me about them, or they buy me that book. For indie authors it's the same thing. And this all goes back to the same old saying again and again: word of mouth is king. Because books are a commitment, and nobody wants to waste their time.
It also makes a good case for traditional publishing houses. Why? Because like it or not, they vet their books. You can argue till you're blue in the face about "But TWilight!! BuT FIFttY SHADES OF GREAYYY!!!" all you want. Fact is, trad-publishing houses know how to market. Most of us don't. It's still by and far the one reason I will never stop sending queries to agents and publishers as my first choice.
I'm proud of my books. I treat them with all the professionalism I can. I invest in them, but nobody is going to read your book if they don't know it exists.
Oh, and the shotgunning site is still tweeting me, by the way.

I went to see "Invitus" today.
Dec. 24th, 2009 at 8:02 AM
In England, football is the country's main, widespread, spectator sport, but rugby probably comes in second (it probably sees of cricket as the number 2 spectator sport). In reality there's no competition between rugby and football in terms of number of spectators, but you often find people are either a rugger bugger or a soccer supporter. I'm a rugger bugger.
I imagine it's the same in football, but rugby supporters know their history, especially their recent history. Consequently I know the story of the South African return to full participation in international rugby in the early 1990s after the end of apartheid pretty well.
This film looks at this return to full rugby participation. Morgan Freeman plays Nelson Mandella (he usually gets the accent right, but Madella does have a distinctive way of speaking) and Matt Damon plays the captain of South Africa, Francois Pienaar (he gives a standard "accent" for his part).
The film is pretty good, and those that don't know the story will enjoy it, but those that do know the story might find it a bit pedestrian or dull. If you want to see what really happened when it comes to the full integration of South African sport at the end of apartheid I think that the BBC or Sky (the satellite channel in the UK) did a better job.

This is an honest review based on my experience. I won't sugar-coat anything. I'll share what I love about Coach and what I think needs improvement. This is a two-part review. In this part, I outline the highlights of Coach and why I think it's worth a look.
Disclaimer: I've recently become an affiliate for Coach because I believe in the platform. If you'd like to sign up with my link, click here.
Coach is the new kid on the block. It started as an online teaching platform for tutors. Then last year they pivoted to serve any entrepreneur who wants to create and sell products online.
I'll be honest: I've used a lot of online course platforms, so when the team at Coach contacted me I wasn't expecting anything new.
Then I met with Spencer Fry, the founder.
During the interview, he was honest about what Coach was and what it wasn't. He didn't hide the fact that they were still figuring a few things out and that certain features weren't available yet.
I told him I'd have a look under the hood first. Here's what I found.
The drag and drop builder works flawlessly.
Adding sections for your lesson organization is simple.
Media uploads and displays without a glitch.
You can also add text beneath the uploaded files (great for instructions or contextual information).
You can track student progress.
Gorgeous design. No, really. Check out the images below.
This is what the course builder looks like.
This is what your course looks like for students with Coach.
From Day One I've been floored by the outstanding customer support at Coach. Floored.
Responses within minutes. Open invitations for feedback. With Coach there's zero shadiness or pushy marketing. They genuinely care about helping you grow your business.
This has become my favorite feature in Coach. You can use their email newsletter system to send one-off newsletters or drip campaigns.
For course creators, that means setting up on-boarding emails is a breeze! Set the trigger (i.e. purchasing your course), type up your email, set the delivery sequence and that's it. Coach will take it from there. Plus it tracks sends, opens and clicks.
Everything I've mentioned so far is great, but it didn't convince me to sign up with Coach.
What convinced me was seeing new features rolled out every 30 days. This team moves fast, my friends.
Every.single.time I emailed Spencer about a feature I wanted he said it was already on the roadmap or he added it to their feature request list. This is promising.
Coach gives you built-in landing pages. You can use these for courses, downloadable products, newsletters--you name it.
Landing pages are essential when it comes to marketing online courses. And you need analytics to tell you how your landing pages are performing. Coach gives you both.
While there's still room for improvement with the landing pages--more on that in Part 2--the existence of these features shows that Coach is building an ecosystem for entrepreneurs, not just a course platform. One that has the potential to simplify your systems and put your income on autopilot.
Speaking of systems...that's when the areas for improvement pop up.
If you're curious about Coach, click here to sign up.
In Part 2, I'll share the areas for improvement in Coach so that you have a full picture. Plus, I'll share my updated LMS chart so you can see how Coach stacks up against other platforms. Click here to read Part 2 of my review.

Cruising the Natchez Trace Parkway
Brandon Hall is a meticulously maintained bed-and-breakfast.
Story and photos by Tom Uhlenbrock
Tom is an award-winning travel writer and journalist based in St. Louis.
The leisurely road trip takes drivers through America's South.
After eight hours of interstate highway, I reached Natchez, Mississippi, and took a right at the entrance to the Natchez Trace Parkway. It was like driving into a time warp.
Commercial traffic is banned on the parkway, which has no billboards, no gas stations, no fast-food restaurants and a 50 mph speed limit. The two-lane blacktop was lined by shoulders of wildflowers with forest beyond that. The first traffic I encountered was two guys on bicycles, coasting down a wide curve on the twisting roadway.
For those of a certain age, driving the parkway will bring back childhood memories of Sunday family drives "in the country." We'd stop to move turtles off the road, buy tomatoes and watermelons and tour caves and other roadside attractions. The destination didn't matter; the goal was to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace. The same "motoring" sentiment made Route 66 the Mother Road of America.
For younger drivers, the parkway will be a new experience for generations accustomed to 70 mph-plus on interstates where every exit intersection looks the same.
Cyclists come from all over America to ride the Natchez Trace Parkway.
Jackson Falls is one of the lovely waterfalls found along the parkway.
The parkway runs for 444 miles through three states, from Natchez to Nashville, Tennessee. There is no rush-hour or traffic jam on the Trace; plan on spending two or three days to soak up the relaxing experience.
I rented a car and drove it for three days in early spring, when the wildflowers, redbuds and dogwoods were awakening. Fall is another prime time, when the mixed forest of pines and hardwoods shows its autumn colors.
The parkway roughly follows the tracks of the first travelers. Their presence on the route is marked by Native American mounds, pioneer taverns, battlefields, monuments, plantations and other stops along the way. Entrance to the parkway and to its attractions is free.
The drive is especially good for families with antsy children as it is loaded with short nature walks — most of them to springs, creeks and waterfalls —with picnic tables in the shade and restrooms with flush toilets at many stops.
Established as a unit of the National Park Service in 1938 and completed in 1995, the Trace dates back centuries as a natural corridor first trampled by bison and Native Americans, who were followed by settlers, soldiers and traders.
The park service operates campgrounds and RV sites along the route, and travelers also can detour off on nearby highways to seek lodging, food and gasoline.
A map of the route with all the attractions and mile markers is available through the park service. NatchezTraceTravel.com offers that map as well as its own map listing the Top 30 sites and nearby lodging.
The parkway has a double-arch bridge near the town of Franklin.
Brandon Hall was built in 1856 by Gerard Brandon, son of the first native-born governor of Mississippi.
I arrived in early evening, and my first drive was short. At milepost 9, I turned off the parkway onto a road (and later determined that it was the only lodging driveway located directly off the entire parkway).
I drove past a lake surrounded by blooming yellow irises, their reflection forming a golden halo on the water. Beyond that was a stately white mansion with columns and verandas right out of an Old South movie set.
Brandon Hall was built in 1856 by Gerard Brandon, son of the first native-born governor of Mississippi. The home has been exquisitely restored and maintained as a bed-and-breakfast with 14-foot ceilings and antique-filled rooms.
Sitting in a white rocker on the upstairs front porch, I listened to the birds singing their twilight songs in the two giant live oaks spreading over the front lawn.
It was a peaceful end to my first impression of the Natchez Trace.
Classic cars are a common sight.
A cyclist follows the path of a 'sunken" portion of the Natchez Trace eroded by centuries of traffic.
Mounds and Mosquitoes
The next morning, I hit the road as the sun broke through clouds, sending rays over the grassy expanse of Emerald Mound, illuminating it as if a switch had been pulled. Built between A.D. 1300 and 1600, the 35-foot-tall mound is the second largest in America, behind only Monk's Mound in Cahokia, Illinois.
The builders of the dozen or so flat-topped ceremonial mounds found along the Trace were called Mississippians because of their villages along the Mississippi River Valley. They built the mounds by carrying dirt in baskets.
Later tribes, including the Natchez, Chickasaw and Choctaw, lived in the area and created the trails that became the Trace.
In a sad irony, the last large group to walk the route, before it became obsolete with the arrival of steamboats, were the Native Americans who were marched out of their lands to reservations.
Travelers on the parkway can see and hike sections of the "old Trace" as it runs through the forest. In some spots, vehicles can actually detour off the roadway onto remnants of the original path.
Although the new parkway makes visiting easy, travelers on the early path faced many hardships. A National Park Service exhibit says: "This early interstate road building venture produced a snake-infested, mosquito-beset, robber-haunted, Indian-traveled forest path. Lamented by the pious, cursed by the impious, it tried everyone's strength and patience."

A Legendary BLT
The Natchez Trace Parkway is somewhat of an illusion. Travelers drive through a forested route as if in a remote setting but, in many areas, civilization is just beyond a corridor of trees.
The city of Jackson, Mississippi, was not visible from the parkway, but the route passed over Interstate 55. I looked down on the busy highway and was thankful to be on my way.
The Mississippi Craft Center is on the outskirts of Jackson and offers a respite for Trace travelers eager to spend some cash. The center had a Choctaw basket for $125, a colorful quilt for $260 and a hickory bowl for $350.
French Camp Bed and Breakfast is located at the site of an early French tavern and inn at milepost 180. The buildings — some historic, some new, some a combination of both — are visible from the Trace, but you detour for a short distance on Highway 413 to get there.
The stop includes a restaurant that boasts of "the best food on the Trace." Actually, it was the only food on the Trace. Still, the BLT sandwich and broccoli salad have gained legendary status among travelers.
I took the exit into the town of Tupelo with two missions: To get gas and to visit Elvis' birthplace.
For $14, you can tour the two-room clapboard house where Presley was born on Jan. 8, 1935, his childhood church where a video tells his story, and a museum with vintage photos and a lifetime of exhibits.

A Blissful Tour with a Lively Ending
Belmont, Mississippi, like many of America's rural towns, has too many empty storefronts in its historic district. But the Belmont Hotel is alive and well on Main Street and was a clean and comfy stop on my third night.
Built in 1924, the hotel is growing old gracefully with 10 glistening crystal chandeliers in its lobby and dining room attesting to its glory days. "It's different; it's not your average Holiday Inn," says the owner.
At milepost 386, near the northern end of the Trace, a monument marks the site of Grinder's Stand, an inn where the explorer Meriwether Lewis died on Oct. 11, 1809, at the age of 35. He was shot twice, and varying accounts say it was a suicide or a murder.
Before leaving the Trace, I drove through Leiper's Fork, a tiny enclave where Justin Timberlake is the most famous resident, and Franklin, which has a historic district bustling with restaurants and shops.
My brain had been on cruise control during my road trip on the Trace, but that ended as I entered Interstate 24.
I shifted mental gears and headed for Nashville, where two nights of hootin' and hollerin' in the honky-tonks brought me back to reality. It was a welcomed nightcap to a blissful tour of the Natchez Trace Parkway.
The Belmont Hotel in Belmont, Mississippi, is a popular stopover.

In the 2007 event, the rules are slightly different than they were in 2006. The biggest change appears to be the model's minimum weight, which has been raised from 1.5 grams to 2.0 grams. The BLG plans on this website were designed for the 2006 rules and the desired weight of the model is list at 1.5 grams, not 2.0 grams.
I have not designed or built a model to the 2007 rules, nor do I plan to do so. Simply use the plans posted on this website and just build the plane a little heavier or add ballast. The model will still perform well, but I predict about a 25% loss in duration time from the same model which weighs 1.5 grams.
Another option would be to make a new design specifically for the 2007 rules. I believe a better design can be developed in the basic construction of the model. To achieve the minimum weight of 1.5 grams (old 2006 rules) I constructed a built-up wing to make minimum weight. Please note: You're not required to make minimum weight, but the lighter the plane, the better time it will turn.
The rules have added .5 grams to the minimum weight. In my opinion, developing a wing made from solid material, like balsa or foam could be another option. Building a model out of solid material allows better airfoil shaping. Also, the airfoil will not change during the flight, where as wings that are covered with covered with plastic or tissue will change. Solid wings typically produce less drag, and it's in your best interest to keep the drag minimal. Some simple testing and calculations predict that an extra 20% gain in time could be achieved by choosing the best airfoil and building the wing out of solid material like balsa. In my opinion, the "best airfoil" is something similar to what the low ceiling indoor catapult and hand launch glider use. There are examples of these airfoils on this website in the plans for the Time Machine and the Slow-Cat. The challenge will be to construct a plane just at 2.0 grams using solid materials like balsa or foam. If you can't build it at 2.0 grams using solid materials, you are better off constructing a built-up wing.

A Tribute to Chuck Bosk
By our department's Steven Joffe, based on a tribute written by Joanna Kempner, Rutgers, and Betsy Armstrong, Princeton
I'm writing to share the sad news that Chuck Bosk died suddenly this past Sunday, and to offer a few reflections on him and his career. Chuck, a longtime member of Penn's bioethics community, was an influential sociologist whose work on medical education, medical errors and patient safety, the medical profession, bioethics and the ethics of social science research, and social problems was both foundational within the field of medical sociology and resonated within clinical medicine, health policy, and bioethics. His contributions span fine-grained, closely observed ethnography and richly reasoned, elegantly argued theory. His wide-ranging influence in sociology, in medicine, and in bioethics was apparent in his appointments as a visiting professor at numerous medical schools, including Johns Hopkins, and as a fellow at the Hastings Center for Bioethics.
After earning a BA at Wesleyan, Chuck completed a PhD at the University of Chicago, becoming a leading member of what is sometimes characterized as the "Third School" of Chicago sociology. He was a gifted teacher who made a deep imprint on generations of undergraduate and graduate students at Penn, where he had taught since 1976, with appointments in Sociology, the Center for Bioethics, and the School of Medicine. He won multiple awards within sociology and was elected to the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences in 2013.
Chuck was one of those rare sociologists who managed to influence medical culture, which in turn, made hospitals safer places to be. He was an astute observer of specialized worlds, with a knack for questioning widely-accepted authoritative knowledge. His first (and classic) book, Forgive and Remember: Managing Medical Failure (University of Chicago Press, 1st edition 1979; 2nd expanded edition, 2003), provided an ethnographic account of how attending physicians dealt with the inevitable mistakes made by surgeons-in-training. His incisive analysis not only became deeply influential within sociology, but in the medical profession as well. The book has been a bestseller in medical school bookstores since its publication; generations of surgical residents have turned to the book to make sense of their own experiences. His second book, All God's Mistakes: Genetic Counseling in a Pediatric Hospital (University of Chicago Press, 1992) explored the emerging field of prenatal genetic counseling. Most recently, he was working on how hospitals might improve safety by addressing the culture in which healthcare providers work, rather than relying on technological solutions like checklists. He was an authoritative voice in both academic and policy debates about patient safety and quality improvement, publishing widely within the medical literature and serving on multiple task forces, including at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Hastings Center for Bioethics, and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Chuck was a deeply reflective scholar and his own experience with ethnography in ethically fraught medical settings propelled his scholarly attention to the ethics of social science research. He published two books on the ethical complexity of research, The View from Here: Social Science and Bioethics (Blackwell Publishers, 2007), co-edited with Raymond DeVries, Kristina Orfali, and Leigh Turner, and What Would You Do? Juggling Bioethics and Ethnography (University of Chicago Press, 2008).
Chuck was beloved and respected by his students and colleagues. Renee Fox, who first brought him to Penn, wrote, "I'm very proud that we were able to recruit him so soon after he had completed his graduate training at the University of Chicago. What might also be emphasized was that Chuck was a pioneer both in the field of medical sociology and of bioethics; that he was a brilliant, lifelong ethnographer; that he was attuned to existential as well as social and cultural issues relevant to health, illness, and medicine (e.g. 'forgive and remember,' 'managing medical error'); and that he dealt with both what he thought were the virtues of medicine, and its shortcomings." Art Caplan wrote that: "He was a curmudgeon but of the best kind -- high standards, took his job seriously, eager to work with others, careful scholar, and a wonderful dry sense of humor." Jonathan Moreno said: "He was the model of how a mainly qualitative social scientist can have an enormous impact on a culture, in his case medical education. Brilliant observer of small group systems." And Dominic Sisti wrote, "Chuck's MBE course changed the way I thought about not just medicine and bioethics, but social and political institutions more broadly. I loved seeing him and catching up with him at the Belmont Hills pool, where he was so happy to be playing with his grandkids."


お問い合わせ | Tanaka Metal Factory CO., LTD.
Q.Can I replace the showr head myself?
A.Yes. While many people think they can't do it, it is very easy to remove the old shower head byunscrewing it counter-clockwise. The new Ariamisto Bollina shower head is just as easily screwed on. If the old shower head cannot be removed by hand, wearing rubber gloves will make it easier to grip and turn.
Q.Which manufacturer's shower hose will Ariamisto Bollina fit?
Q.Can I use the shower in areas with low water pressure?
A.The water flow may be poor in areas with extremely low water pressure. The water saving rate may also be affected due to water pressure or the location the shower head is installed. There are water valve apapters included (Ariamisto x3, AriamistoⅢ x4) that are suitable for low water pressure areas.
Q.Can I install the valve?
A.Yes. Initially adapter #2 is installed. You can change the valve according to your own preference. Remove the shower head from the hose. Remove the valve using a screw driver. Replace it with another valve. A full description is included with the product. This is available on Ariamisto (TK10001) and Ariamisto (TK-1003).
Q.What is the difference between micro bubble and micro nano-bubble?
A.A micro bubble is said to be 50μm in diameter whereas a micro nano-bubble is 0.1μm in diameter. 0.1μm is 1/10000 of 1mm so obviously it is not visible with the naked eye. Micro bubles will be generated in the water, float to the surface and disappear whereas micro nano-bubbles are much smaller and will remain in the water for a long period of time.
Q.Do you produce original OEM products?
A.Yes. We will produce this with the Bollina and Bollina PRO shower heads. We have already produced a first official shower head in Japan with the FC Gifu original Bollina shower head. It is made in the official FC Gifu color with the FC Gifu logo engraved on the metal shower area. We can accept any kind of order. Please feel free to make an enquiry.
Q.I heard you are doing demonstration sales?
A.Yes. Demonstartion sales give customers a chance to experience the Bollina water feeling on their skin. We recommend this for any customers thinking about buying our product. The time and place can be seen on the "Demonstration Sales Schedule" (homepage) or on our Facebook. Please come and visit us.
Q.Is it ok to use the shower water in the bath?
A.Bollina and Bollina PRO utilize the「μ-Jet」technology so it is possible to use in the bath. The micro nano-bubbles will give the bathwater a warmer feeling for an enjoyable bath time. It is especially good for people with poor blood circulation and sensitive to coldness.
A.Yes. The water pressure should be between 0.07MPa(0.7kgf/cm2)~0.75 MPa(7.6kgf/cm2). Water temperature should not exceed 60 ℃. A water rate of 0.15MPa can be tested that in 10 seconds 1.5 liters of water will flow.
Q.What should I do if water is leaking from the base of the shower head?
A.There could be a problem with the O-ring at the connection with the shower hose. You should replace the O-ring with the one specific to the hose manufacturer.
Q.Water seems to be leaking from the Bollina Risaia shower head when I push the one-touch water button. Is it broken?
A.The shower head is designed to leak to release water pressure when water is stopped using the one-touch button.
There could be a problem with the O-ring at the connection with the shower hose. You should replace the O-ring with the one specific to the hose manufacturer.
1. To remind users to turn off the water at the faucet.
2. To stop the shower hose bursting from excess water pressure.

Sicilyan Dream (D'après Siciliano, BWV. 1031 de Johann Sebastian Bach) - André Ceccarelli, Diego Imbert
Passepied nouveau - André Ceccarelli, Diego Imbert
An acclaimed Italian jazz pianist, composer, and educator, Enrico Pieranunzi is known for his virtuosic, classical-influenced technique, nuanced sense of harmony, and elegantly restrained approach to modern post-bop jazz.
Influenced heavily by Bill Evans, Pieranunzi emerged in the 1970s leading his own trio, and quickly established himself internationally as an in-demand sideman for such jazz giants as Chet Baker, Lee Konitz, Phil Woods, and others. Along with performing, he is a dedicated teacher, having worked for many years as a full professor at the Conservatorio di Musica in Frosinone. Recognized as one of the foremost Italian jazz artists, he has garnered a handful of awards, including taking home the 1997 Django d'Or as Best European Jazz Musician and winning the 2014 German Echo Jazz Award as Best International Keyboard Artist.
Born in Rome in 1949, Pieranunzi was introduced to classical music and jazz by his father, guitarist Alvaro Pieranunzi. (In addition, his brother is noted classical violinist Gabriele Pieranunzi.) Encouraged to study piano from a young age, he eventually graduated university with a music degree in 1973, and began working as a teacher. However, in 1975 he left his teaching position to focus on leading his jazz trio. He debuted that same year with the album Jazz a Confronto, and followed up with a handful of well-regarded efforts including 1976's New & Old Jazz Sounds with his father, 1976's The Day After the Silence, and 1978's A Long Way.
By the '80s, Pieranunzi had gained the attention of many touring American artists, including saxophonists Phil Woods and Lee Konitz, flügelhorn player Art Farmer, and bassist Charlie Haden. He also developed a close working relationship with trumpeter/vocalist Chet Baker, a partnership that resulted in several superb albums, including 1980's Soft Journey and 1987's Silence, which also showcased Haden. The pianist also released more of his own albums, including pairing with bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Joey Baron for several efforts such as 1984's New Lands. He went solo on 1985's What's What, and joined saxophonist Konitz on 1988's Solitudes. Pieranunzi capped the decade by appearing on Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to the acclaimed 1989 film Cinema Paradiso.
More work followed in the '90s, including dates with Baker, Haden, and Woods, as well as adventurous sessions with trumpeters Enrico Rava and Eric Vloeimans. As a leader, he recorded regularly for Enja, Timeless, and Soul Note, issuing such albums as 1995's Flux & Change, 1997's Seaward, and 1998's Ma l'Amore No. He also gained increasing praise for his work, including taking home the prestigious Django d'Or as the Best European Jazz Musician in 1997. Two years later, he paired with trumpeter Bert Joris for the quintet date Don't Forget the Poet. A duo session with pianist Bert van den Brink followed in 2000.
He furthered his own work over the next decade, releasing albums like 2001's Improvised Forms of Trio, 2002's Play Morricone, and 2003's Fellini Jazz. He also paired with acclaimed drummer Paul Motian for a handful of albums, including 2004's Doorways with saxophonist Chris Potter and 2005's Special Encounter with Haden. Pieranunzi also continued his ongoing association with bassist Johnson and drummer Baron, releasing a steady flow of studio and live sessions, including 2008's Yellow & Blue Suites and 2009's Dream Dance. There were also similar efforts with bassist Scott Colley and drummer Antonio Sanchez, such as 2013's Permutations and 2014's Stories.
In 2014, he took home Germany's Echo Jazz Award as Best International Keyboard Artist. He returned the following year alongside trumpeter Ralph Alessi, saxophonist Donny McCaslin, and bassist Matt Penman for the forward-thinking quartet album Proximity. He then joined fellow pianist Bruno Canino for the 2016 duo session Americas, and followed in 2017 with another duo date, Duke's Dream with saxophonist Rosario Giuliani. The concert album Wine & Waltzes: Live at Bastianich Winery appeared in 2018. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi

I seeded some grass last year in some old fields and this is the stand I got. Damn it's nice. I've always heard how hard it is to establish a grass stand but this was real easy. Just used an old grain press drill and seeded it deep. Did the same thing this year on another field and it looks like I got a good stand there too. We will see next year when, and if, it fills in. Taken 6/7/2006.
