The £1.1 billion underwater electricity cable linking Scotland with England and Wales has failed, leaving consumers to foot the bill for up to £2.4 million in compensation to windfarm companies.
The Western Link interconnector, developed for National Grid and Scottish Power Transmission, "tripped" a week ago and has been out of action while engineers investigate the cause.
Neither National Grid nor Scottish Power was prepared to identify the reason for the failure, but said that they would soon issue a "further update".
The Western Link is a key element in the Scottish government's renewable energy network, routing electricity to the rest of Britain and enabling energy imports when generation in Scotland is low.

Q: How do you configure Qt Creator to use both Qt4 and Qt5? I download Qt Creator 2.7.0 (Based on Qt 5.0.2 (64 bit)).
This seems to compile everything with Qt5.
I know you can download the Qt4 SDK, but then how can i configure projects to use Qt4 instead if I need to? Please provide detailed instructions. I'm on Ubuntu and not using any repository supplied Qt tools/libraries.

A: Answer: You download Qt4, compile it (if necessary) then in the menu Tools->Options->Build & Run->Qt Versions, you add Qt4 manually similar to the Qt5 config. You just need the path to the qmake file. Then go to the Kits tab in the same Options box, and add a manual Qt 4 Kit. You can change the Kit available to your app via the Projects tile and the Add Kit button. Add the Qt4 kit, remove the Qt5 kit, rebuild all. Simple.

Frederick Lawrence next president
Ariel Wittenberg
PRESIDENTIAL PICK: Lawrence will serve as the next president.
PHOTO by Max Shay/The Hoot
Frederick Lawrence, dean of George Washington University's Law School, will replace Jehuda Reinharz as president of Brandeis starting in January, the Brandeis Board of Trustees voted July 8.
The pick of Lawrence as president is the culmination of the seven-month long process which followed Reinharz's resignation from the post last October. Lawrence will start as President Jan. 1, but will frequent the campus during the fall semester in order to become acquainted with the university and learn from Reinharz before his departure.
Lawrence, who has been dean of GW's Law School since 2005, said in an interview with The Hoot that he did not apply for the position but was actually approached by the search committee just a few months ago.
Though this is not the first time Lawrence has been contacted by an undergraduate presidential search committee, Lawrence said he was attracted to Brandeis because it is a "research college" and "of course the social justice mission speaks to me personally and to my professional career."
Indeed, Lawrence's resume seems well-suited for a school that prides itself on a commitment to social justice.
Lawrence currently serves on the board of the Anti-Defamation League, and is the author of "Punishing Hate: Bias Crimes Under American Law." Additionally, earlier in his career Lawrence was named an assistant U.S. attorney for the southern district of New York where he became chief of the Civil Rights Unit. Lawrence also taught civil rights law at Boston University School of Law from 1988 through 1996 when he became the school's associate dean for academic affairs.
Brandeis Chairman of the board of trustees Malcolm Sherman told The Hoot that Lawrence was recommended to the committee, which was impressed with Lawrence's resume. Sherman did not remember who recommended Lawrence to the committee, saying that most people the committee considered were recommended and did not apply, but the search firm Storbeck/Pimentel did assist in the search process.
Former President of the Student Union Andy Hogan '11, who was a non-voting member on the search committee, said Lawrence was "impressive first on paper and then in person.
"We were impressed with his work in relation to Brandeis' social justice mission and then, when you meet him, he's also an extremely nice guy in general," Hogan said.
Hogan served as the student voice on the committee and attended meetings via conference call after school was out for the summer. Hogan also said he was flown into Brandeis from his home in San Diego, California when necessary in order to assure a student voice in the process.
Though Lawrence's administrative experience lies solely in graduate school, he is confident he will be able to adapt to the undergraduate structure.
"The specifics are different. For example, at GW Law we didn't have a large residence life program," he said. "But the bigger picture of being a leader and what your leading style is doesn't change."
Lawrence said he would apply this leadership style to any conflict he encounters at Brandeis, including academic and budget cuts, the likes of which the university experienced just this spring.
"In any situation you have to understand all the sides of an issue and communicate. You can't solve all problems with communication, but you can solve a lot of problems," he said. "You won't get everyone to agree with you, but they need to understand where you are coming from."
One such conflict Lawrence may encounter while at Brandeis is that of The Rose Art Museum. Though the university announced in late May that it had tabled discussions of art sale and will instead concentrate on "non-sale options," the lawsuit filed against the university is set to be tried this December.
When asked how he valued arts in education, Lawrence replied, "I am an amateur singer, the arts is part of my life and has been part of my education," adding that his daughter has a Master's of Fine Arts from University of Michigan.
Lawrence has no connection to the university and told The Hoot that he has not visited the university at all during the selection process. He did say, however, that he has long been a friend of the outgoing Reinharz and that while he was a professor at Boston University School of Law, he participated in a mock trial with Reinharz. At the trial, which took place around the Jewish holiday of Purim, Lawrence prosecuted Haman–who, according to Jewish teachings attempted to kill the Jews of Persia in 423 B.C.E.–while Reinharz played the role of Mordechai.
Malcolm Sherman, Chairman of the Brandeis Board of Trustees said Lawrence's Judaism was "a consideration" at a school that self-identifies as a sectarian university with Jewish roots but "it was not an absolute necessity.
"Certainly [Lawrence's religion] made him attractive to the Committee and we are happy that he is Jewish, but that was not the only factor," Sherman said.
More important to the committee was Lawrence's resume of social justice which, Sherman said, "at Brandeis is not just a cliche but something the university deeply believes in as a core value."
As a lawyer, Lawrence said he has always admired Justice Louis D. Brandeis, the university's namesake, even before he was considered for the position.
Indeed, in a more than nine-minute long interview on a YouTube talk show from last year, Lawrence quotes Justice Brandeis within the first two minutes.
"Not only did [Brandeis] have a commitment to social change, but he also had a wonderful career on the Supreme Court," he said. "His rulings are still fresh. His thoughts on free speech, big business, all of that still speaks to us today."
Referring to July's confirmation hearings of Solicitor General Elena Kagan, who would fill Justice Brandeis' seat on the supreme court if confirmed, Lawrence said, "I guess there's just a lot of Brandeis in the air right now."

3985 - Brewer v. Stokes Kia, Isuzu, Subaru, Inc.
Brewer v. Stokes Kia
Rebecca Brewer, Appellant,
Stokes Kia, Isuzu, Subaru, Inc., Respondent.
A. Victor Rawl, Circuit Court Judge
Gerald C. Smoak, Circuit Court Judge
Costa Steven Moskos, of Charleston, for Appellant.
Susan Corner Rosen, of Charleston, for Respondent.
HEARN, C.J.: This appeal arises after summary judgment was granted to Stokes Kia, Isuzu, Subaru, Inc., in a claim for breach of contract, conversion, and violation of certain consumer protection laws brought by a purchaser whose car had been repossessed in what was alleged to have been a yo-yo sale. We affirm.
In January 2000, Rebecca Brewer's automobile quit running, and she began shopping for another car. Brewer visited two car dealerships before visiting Stokes Kia. At both of the prior dealerships, Brewer was unable to purchase a car because of her poor credit rating. When Brewer arrived at Stokes Kia and explained her price range, she was shown a 1996 Ford Aspire, which she agreed to purchase. The salesman completed a handwritten buyer's order, which was signed by Brewer and initialed by the Stokes Kia sales manager. This buyer's order specified the car to be purchased, the price, and memorialized the acceptance of a one thousand dollar down payment from Brewer for the car.
Next, Brewer met with the Stokes Kia finance manager. The finance manager had her sign a new buyer's order that had been computer-generated and was stamped "VEHICLE DELIVERED SUBJECT TO CREDIT APPROVAL." Brewer initialed beside the stamped language. Brewer also signed a retail installment sales contract and security agreement. The retail installment sales contract lists the amount financed for the purchase of the car, $6,609.50; the name of the seller, Stokes Kia-Isuzu Subaru; the annual percentage rate, 21.95%; the number of payments, 36; amount of payments, $252.24; and when the monthly payments begin, February 10, 2000. This form was not signed by a representative of Stokes Kia. Additionally, Brewer signed a bailment agreement. The bailment agreement states: "If dealer is able to provide the Buyer(s) with financing according to the terms set forth in the Sales Agreement, the said Sales Agreement shall be binding upon Buyer(s) and enforceable by Dealer. In the event dealer is unable to provide financing Buyer(s) shall provide their own financing." It also says: "Pending credit approval of the Buyer(s) by the financing institution and completion of the sales transaction, delivery of said vehicle by the Dealer is hereby made to Buyer(s) as a convenience to Buyer(s) . . . ." Brewer admitted nobody at Stokes Kia told her financing had been approved, but she also testified no one had indicated otherwise.
Several days later, Stokes Kia was having difficulty obtaining financing for Brewer and called to obtain further information about her employment status. When Brewer called back to resolve the question, she was told the dealer was unable to secure financing for her and, in order to keep the car, she would have to get a co-signor or find her own financing. Brewer contacted her bank, but her request for a loan was denied due to her poor credit rating. On January 19, 2000, Brewer received a call from Stokes Kia asking her to return the car, but she refused. Later that evening, a representative of Stokes Kia repossessed the vehicle. After this claim was initiated and depositions had been taken by Brewer, Stokes Kia returned her deposit with interest.
Brewer commenced this action against Stokes Kia, alleging causes of action for breach of contract; conversion; violations of the Unfair Trade Practices Act; and violation of the Manufacturers, Distributors, and Dealers Act. Approximately one year later, Stokes Kia moved for summary judgment. Nearly three weeks after the motion, Brewer sought to amend her complaint to add six additional causes of action. In June 2001, Judge Smoak denied the motion for summary judgment and granted the motion to amend the complaint. However, upon reconsideration, Judge Smoak granted summary judgment. A motion for reconsideration was timely filed, but was not heard until six months later. By that time, Judge Smoak had retired and the motion for reconsideration was heard by Judge Rawl. Judge Rawl denied the motion, and this appeal followed.
A trial court's decision to grant a motion for summary judgment is appropriate when there is no genuine issue of material fact so that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Gilbert v. Miller, 356 S.C. 25, 28, 586 S.E.2d 861, 863 (Ct. App. 2003). All ambiguities, conclusions, and inferences arising from the evidence must be construed against the moving party. Id. An appellate court will review summary judgment in a liberal manner so as to construe the record in favor of the nonmoving party and give the nonmoving party the benefit of all favorable inferences that might reasonably be drawn therefrom. Jackson v. Doe, 342 S.C. 552, 555, 537 S.E.2d 567, 568 (Ct. App. 2000). Additionally, our court is cognizant that summary judgment is a drastic remedy, which must be cautiously invoked so that no person will be improperly deprived of a trial on disputed factual issues. Id.
Brewer argues the trial court erred in granting summary judgment because: (1) issues of fact exist as to the existence of a contract; (2) she was not in default and therefore Stokes Kia did not have a right to repossess; and (3) she suffered damages. Brewer further argues that because summary judgment was granted in error, she should have been allowed to amend her complaint to add various other causes of action.
1. Contract issues
Brewer argues the trial court erred in granting summary judgment because there were issues of material fact regarding the existence of a contract. To support this argument, she first asserts the contract between Stokes Kia was not conditioned on her credit being approved. We disagree.
A condition precedent to a contract is "any fact other than the lapse of time, which, unless excused, must exist or occur before a duty of immediate performance arises." Worley v. Yarborough Ford, Inc., 317 S.C. 206, 210, 452 S.E.2d 622, 624 (Ct. App. 1994). "The question of whether a provision 'in a contract constitutes a condition precedent is a question of construction dependent on the intent of the parties to be gathered from the language they employ.'" Id. (citations omitted).
Here, the computer-generated buyer's order contained a stamped declaration that delivery was subject to credit approval, and Brewer admitted to seeing and initialing this declaration. Further, Brewer admitted no one at Stokes Kia told her that her credit had been approved.
In addition to the stamp on the signed, computer-generated buyer's order, a bailment agreement signed by Brewer states: "In the event dealer is unable to provide financing Buyer(s) shall provide their own financing." The computer-generated buyer's order and the bailment agreement make it clear that the sale was not final until financing was arranged. The contract provided that Stokes Kia would attempt to obtain financing for Brewer, but if it could not, the responsibility would become Brewer's. If neither Stokes Kia nor Brewer were able to obtain financing, ownership of the vehicle would remain with Stokes Kia.
In the event we find a condition precedent existed, Brewer further argues there was nothing to indicate the condition was not met, nor was there anything specifying who had to approve her request for credit. However, the bailment agreement explained the deal would be completed "[i]f dealer is able to provide Buyer(s) with financing according to the terms set forth in the Sales Agreement . . . ." This language vests discretion concerning financing with the dealership. Stokes Kia, like the two dealerships Brewer had previously visited, was unable to find a company to finance Brewer's purchase. Thus, it became Brewer's responsibility to find financing on her own. She, too, was unable to find financing.
Brewer also argues the computer-generated buyer's order was preceded by a handwritten buyer's order which did not have a condition precedent and that the handwritten order itself constituted a contract. However, the actions of the parties and Brewer's ultimate signature on the computer-generated buyer's order demonstrate this handwritten buyer's order was simply a preliminary negotiation to the final agreement. This is underscored by the fact that no terms besides price were discussed in the handwritten buyer's order. In fact, it says that the "UNPAID BALANCE IS DUE ON DELIVERY" and lists the balance as $5,397.50. If this were the only enforceable contract between the parties, Brewer would be obligated to pay $5,397.50 to own the car. It is undisputed that Brewer was not able to meet that obligation.
Brewer also argues the retail installment contract and security agreement constitute Stokes Kia's offer to finance the transaction. It appears from deposition testimony the retail installment contract was signed by Brewer when she met with the finance manager. It was at this time that she also signed the computer-generated buyer's order. Although Brewer signed the installment contract, it was never signed by Stokes Kia. In fact, Stokes Kia generally does not sign this document until the credit has been approved. Because the document was not signed by Stokes Kia, it is not enforceable against it. See S.C. Code Ann. § 36-2-201 (2004).
Additionally, Brewer argues physical delivery of the car by Stokes Kia is either evidence the contract was complete or an indication that legal ownership of the car had transferred. She refers to section 36-2-401 of the South Carolina Code (2004) to support the latter proposition. Section 36-2-401 provides:
Unless otherwise explicitly agreed title passes to the buyer at the time and place at which the seller completes his performance with reference to the physical delivery of the goods, despite any reservation of a security interest and even though a document of title is to be delivered at a different time or place . . . .
The key phrase from section 36-2-401 is "unless otherwise explicitly agreed." The agreement between Brewer and Stokes Kia did explicitly state physical delivery of the car was only a convenience provided to the buyer and the sale was pending credit approval. Therefore, pursuant to the agreement, title did not pass at the time of physical delivery. This contract language also prevents introduction of this conduct as evidence the contract was complete.
Finally, in her reply brief, Brewer attempts to argue this case is controlled by Singleton v. Stokes Motors, Inc., 358 S.C. 369, 595 S.E.2d 461 (2004). Singleton involved a yo-yo sale, defined as occurring when:
The consumer believes a vehicle's installment or sale is final and the dealer gives the consumer possession of the car 'on the spot.' The dealer later tells the consumer to return the car because the financing has fallen through. If the consumer does not return the vehicle or agree to rewrite the transaction on less favorable terms, the dealer repossesses the vehicle.
Id. at 380, 595 S.E.2d at 467 (quoting National Consumer Law Center, Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices 316 (5th ed. 2001)). The transaction in Singleton involved an unconditional sales contract and conditional bailment agreement, which our supreme court called "patently unfair and deceptive acts." Id. at 381, 595 S.E.2d at 468. However, the court determined the dealerships could easily cure the unfairness by explaining in the sales agreement that the sale is conditioned upon the buyer obtaining financing and telling the customers the truth about their credit. Id. at 381-82, 595 S.E.2d at 468. Singleton does not apply to Brewer's transaction because the buyer's order did contain a stamp making delivery of the car conditional upon Brewer obtaining financing and because Stokes Kia never told Brewer she had been financed.
Thus, we agree the trial court did not err in granting summary judgment on the basis of the lack of an enforceable contract.
2. Right to repossess, damages, and amendment of the complaint
Brewer argues the trial court was also in error when it found Stokes Kia had a right to repossess, when it found there were no damages, and when it denied her motion to amend the complaint. We disagree.
Brewer argues there was no right to repossession because she had not defaulted on the contract. See S.C. Code Ann. § 37-5-110 (2002). However, as discussed above, the car was delivered to Brewer subject to credit approval as a convenience extended to her by Stokes Kia. When Brewer was not financed and she was not able to obtain financing on her own, she was unable to complete the transaction. By failing to pay for the car, she defaulted on the contract. When default occurred, Stokes Kia had the right to repossess the car. See S.C. Code Ann. § 37-5-112 (2002).[1]
The trial court also supported its grant of summary judgment on the basis that Brewer could not demonstrate any damages. The trial court explained Brewer's down payment had been returned with interest and though Brewer alleged she could have had a free rental car for four additional days from the time of the sale, she actually used the car from Stokes Kia for eight days. Because we found the trial court was correct in granting summary judgment to Stokes Kia on the basis of the contract issues, it is not necessary that we rule on this issue. See Rule 220(c), SCACR; Futch v. McAllister Towing of Georgetown, Inc., 335 S.C. 598, 613, 518 S.E.2d 591, 598 (1999) (explaining the appellate court need not address remaining issues when disposition of prior issue is dispositive).
Finally, Brewer's argument regarding amendment of her complaint is contingent on our finding the grant of summary judgment was in error. Because we have affirmed the grant of summary judgment this issue must also fail.
For the reasons discussed above, the trial court's grant of summary judgment is
KITTREDGE and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.
[1] Providing: "Upon default by a consumer with respect to a consumer credit transaction, unless the consumer voluntarily surrenders possession of the collateral or rented property to the creditor, the creditor may take possession of the collateral or rented property without judicial process only if possession can be taken without entry into a dwelling used as a current residence and without the use of force or other breach of the peace."

HBO Head Of Programming Tweets That Season 2 Of 'Watchmen' Is Still A 'Possibility'
#watchmen
by Eric Ital January 17, 2020
Literally, less than 24 hours ago, we brought you the news that HBO would not be pursuing a second season of the critically-acclaimed superhero series Watchmen as series creator and writer Damon Lindelof told USA TODAY that was walking away from the project.
Lindelof told USA TODAY this week that he's told the story he wants to tell and has no interest in a second season, though he's "given my blessing" to HBO should it want to pursue a new installment with another writer-producer.
But Bloys concedes that's unlikely to happen: "It would be hard to imagine doing it without Damon involved in some way."
However, just hows after the initial news broke, Bloys himself tweeted an article from Decider about the second season of the heralded series being a "possibility."
This is, in fact, the same holding pattern the show has been in since the finale. That means Lindelof is still unsure of a story for a potential Season 2 and feels he has told the story he needs to tell, that he understands if HBO needs to move forward, and HBO would prefer to continue with Lindelof into any potential continuation of Watchmen. Conversations are ongoing, and probably will continue until for a long time to come.
So even with a second season of the show, it most likely would not pick up right at that moment, so much as pursue a new angle. [via Decider]
'Watchmen' Season 2 Still A Possibility At HBO, Despite Reports https://t.co/FjvBIBD6Ul via @decider

With Watchmen being one of HBO's most successful shows in recent years, it should come as no surprise that they aren't necessarily eager to call all hope for a follow-up.

Kurtág's Játékok (Games) is a vast, continually expanding universe of piano pieces, some of which can be played on organ or harmonium. Compatriot Bartók's Microkosmos would be the clear precedent, as Kurtág started with pedagogical aims. Indeed some Játékok pages explicitly extend the senior Hungarian's gestures and rhythms, e.g., Double notes (III: 22; "Addition to [Bartók's] pieces Nos. 66 and its appendix, and to 134-135…").
As the years have gone by, Játékok (seven published volumes with at least two, possibly others, in preparation) has come to express Kurtág's worldview through homages, in memoriams, calling cards and birthday greetings. Later volumes bear the subtitle "Diary entries, personal messages." Most pieces, occupying less than one page, require study to internalize the rhythms and the frequent large jumps.
Játékok's first volume is largely clusters and glissando gestures, requiring deciphering colored inks and symbols. There are several introductory pages of "Basic Elements." An aspiring child shouldn't be put off by the 88-keyed monster. Near the end of I, the Hommage à Tchaikovsky spoofs the Piano Concerto No. 1's celebrated opening with clusters instead of D-flat chords. Eventually the pieces settle into more conventional notation, though each requires mastery of some particular tic. Melodic shapes, the hands' physical motion, symmetry/asymmetry and coordination/non-coordination are themes Kurtág develops. Some pieces address the musician's persona, such as the two-person Beating — Quarrelling (VIII) whose alternated repeated pitches force the players to intrude into the other's space.
Titles, dedications and allusions look to other composers. Bartók, J.S. Bach and Webern are the easiest influences to spot. As my exposure to Játékok increases, I've noticed the prevalence of sudden paroxysms, violent or expressive. While invisible on recording, in all likelihood, the pianist's motions are also significant.
The ECM album offers the subtitle, "A Composed Program." The Kurtágs play with noble incisiveness. ECM captures overtones and a robust piano. In the Bach transcriptions sprinkled throughout, the couple's articulation and phrasing are spine-tingly sublime. Kurtág's Bach transcriptions employ wide spacing and other doubling tricks to delineate the lines. Some two-piano and four-hand pieces may have precise pitches but unsynchronized rhythms. After hearing the Kurtágs in Zorniger Choral ("Furious Chorale," IV: 2), you may wonder how they manage to do it.
On the BMC series, Csalog is the primary pianist in 58 tracks on the first disc and 52 on the second. Some pieces are programmed twice on the second release. Because the recording information is the same for both releases, it would seem that an intégrale is underway. The Kurtágs take a few selections now and again, and other guests offer a third hand or sit at a second piano. Some play and speak. Close attention shows that the Kurtágs are more penetrating than Csalog, who tends to dash through. As much as I adore BMC's presentation, the older ECM release would be my recommended port of call into Játékok, though perhaps the best way is to attempt a selection oneself.
"Kurtág: 80." György KURTÁG: …concertante…, Op. 42 (2002-03, rev. 2006); Hipartita, Op. 43 (2000-04); selections from Játékok and Transcriptions (1973 to present). György KURTÁG and György KURTÁG, Jr.: Zwiegespräch (1999-2006…). Hiromi Kikuchi (vln), Ken Hakii (vla), Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, Zoltán Kocsis (cond.); Keller Quartet: András Keller, János Pilz (vlns), Zoltán Gál (vla), Judit Szabó (vlc), György Kurtág, Jr. (synth); Márta Kurtág, György Kurtág (pno). Budapest Music Center Records BMC CD 129 (2 CDs) (http://www.bmcrecords.hu/).
Husband and wife conclude Kurtág's 80th-birthday release with a garland of Játékok selections, Bach transcriptions and one Bartók duet. Here they play on a muted upright piano to delicately constricted effect while György Kurtág, Jr. manipulates amplification. Reflecting their years of partnership, the Kurtágs' playing is spectacularly poetic. The three concluding encores repeat one Játékok excerpt and two Bach transcriptions.
If Játékok's miniatures and elegant Bach transcriptions entrance, the other Kurtág works may baffle. Perhaps the piano was muffled for reasons other than timbre: The violence that lurked in the piano works steps stage-front in the sweeping …concertante…, garden-variety modernism along the lines of Sciarrino, Grisey or Rihm. Scored for solo violin and viola with orchestra including cimbalom, …concertante… is as remote from Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante, K. 364, as can be imagined. Naked solo wisps may be countered with orchestral timidity or bombardment. Towards the end, the soloists engage in a descending scale, perhaps a reference point. I pick up on a mix of brusqueness and refinement suggesting hostility.
Father and son's Zwiegespräch is a magic-carpet ride for string quartet and synthesizer. The synth adds extracurricular effects to mostly hesitant string writing, typical of Kurtág's quartets. The composition operates as a duo between quartet and keyboard, old and new, father and son. Together they exceed the sum of their parts. Sometimes the quartet's material will repeat as if adjusting to a gravitational pull as the synthesizer splashes and dips. Hipartita's solo violin wanders through eight pieces arrayed on eleven music stands, suggesting works by Nono. György Kurtág, Jr.'s program notes imply differing degrees of amplification for each of the pieces. Despite the high concept, this is the set's least successful work.
Closing the second disc, the piano duo elevates the entire release. Really, someone ought to get the Kurtágs in the studio and just let the tape roll.
"Kurtág's Ghosts." Var. comps by György Kurtág (selections from Játékok), J.S. Bach, Béla Bartók, Ludwig van Beethoven, Pierre Boulez, Frédéric Chopin, Joseph Haydn, Leoš Janáček, György Ligeti, Franz Liszt, Guillaume de Machaut, Olivier Messiaen, Modest Mussorgsky, Henry Purcell, Domenico Scarlatti, Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, Karlheinz Stockhausen. Marino Formenti (pno). Kairos 0012902KAI (2 CDs) (http://www.kairos-music.com/). Distributed in the US by Allegro Music (http://www.allegro-music.com/).
Having met Formenti before, I eagerly set upon this release with great hopes. However, thinking about why this program does not work is almost more enjoyable than actually listening to it.
To play Kurtág was Formenti's primary goal. He identifies Kurtág's heritage as "Ghosts" and introduces theater. The two-CD journey (47:20 + 56:18) begins inaudibly with Machaut's Loyauté, que point de delay. I had to turn up the volume for the first tracks and then reset after the fourth piece. The 70 tracks clump into regions. One stretch relates Kurtág to Stockhausen, Messiaen and Boulez. Then there's Kurtág's elusive Hungarian sound: Bartók and Ligeti with traces of Schubert and Beethoven. Later Formenti grows wistful among a clutch of Kurtág homages and in memoriams anchored with Schumann.
As much of Kurtág's Játékok are "in the style of," "dedicated to," or "in memoriam," the implicit interconnections plead for illustrations. When Kurtág is matched with a single composer, such as J.S. Bach in the BMC releases, the contrasts and dependencies grow evident and the program matures. When Kurtág cavorts across Music History's color wheel, the confusing results raise issues of style. Kurtág is comfortable in pithy forms assembled randomly, whereas the other composers are simply excerpted. It's as if we're shadowing an insecure debutante who must name-drop at every opportunity. I don't think that's what Formenti had in mind.
The antics do not stop after the opening fade-in. Formenti glides from one piece to another without pause to startling and sometimes upsetting effect. Perhaps it's humorous to hear how easily Stockhausen's Klavierstück No. 2 can elide into Messiaen's Île de Feu 1 or how Ligeti and Bartók relate, but the attaccas between Bartók's Hungarian Peasant Song, Op. 20 No. 5, Beethoven's nine-second-long Bagatelle Op. 119 No. 10, and Bartók's Rumanian Folk Dance No. 6 produce cognitive vertigo.
The Baroque-Classic pieces (Scarlatti, Bach, Schubert, Beethoven and Schumann) aren't Formenti's best efforts. It says a lot about Schubert's durability that his two entries emerge as oases despite Formenti's brusque treatments. Similarly the two Scarlatti sonatas with their explicit repeats and idiosyncratic gestures permit a few moments of relaxed breathing before slamming into the next curt Kurtág. The Schumanns in the program's last act, six pieces overall, leave a messy residue. A single Bach prelude is simply sloppy.
Rather than a thoughtful program, Formenti's effort immediately reduces to a glossary. The booklet's interview between Formenti and co-producer Peter Oswald tells us that Kurtág was influenced by compatriots András Mihály and Emil Petrovics. Wouldn't it have made sense to include such less familiar music? Formenti's passion and vivacity work well where folk elements come into play. It would have been more rewarding had the concept taken that direction.

Budapest Music Center Records BMC CD 116 (http://www.bmcrecords.hu/).
Inspired by Cagean chance, Új Zenei Stúdió (ÚZS) brought together a handful of composers and performers in 1970s Hungary. Unstructured, chaotic music incurred officialdom's wrath. Undisturbed's October 14, 1974 premiere nearly led to the group's demise. It spins three independent wheels: Vidovszky's four pianos, Sáry's music for strings, and Jeney's pieces for prepared piano, percussion and tapes. The next year in a concert intended to celebrate Kurtág's 50th birthday — which couldn't have been publicly acknowledged — ÚZS performed the group piece Hommage à Kurtág and Dukay's To the changing Moon. Ten years later, they recorded the Hommage: Eötvös contributed an early version of his Windsequenzen for harmonium, flute, English horn, bass drum and wind sounds; Jeney brought electric guitar, tam-tam, cimbalom, harpsichord and tape; Kocsis wrote for organ, strings and prepared pianos; Sáry provided multiple pianos; and Vidovszky scored a violin choir repeating a dissonant melody. This recording presents Undisturbed's premiere which never made it to LP or radio play, a 1975 recording of Hommage à Kurtág, and a 2005 taping of Dukay's To the changing Moon for string octet.

You still can't explain why you think Gase should have the offense scoring 40 a game with almost half our offense being backups?
And clearly you believe that we should have starting quality players as our backups.

We're scoring 20 ppg overall. In the first 5 games with Tannehill starting we scored 99 points in 5 games, or almost precisely 20 ppg. In games 6-10 with Osweiler starting we scored 100 points in 5 games, or exactly 20 ppg.
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/mia/2018.htm
You can interpret that in different ways, saying Gase did well with his backup QB compared to his starting QB or that Gase's offense is pathetic even when he has his starting QB. Both are true. More importantly, 20 ppg = 25th in the NFL. Really bad stat for an "offensive genius".

Parallel discussion in Club. I'll just post what I posted there:
Tannehill was healthy enough to start the first 5 games this season = 99 points in 5 games. That's just under 20 ppg. If you want to try and argue he had some other health issues not major enough to keep him from starting in games 4 and 5, then you have to apply that standard to all QB's. This isn't dissimilar to that argument people used to give that Tannehill played like an "elite" QB during that 8 game stretch in 2016. Of course when you do the legwork and compare his best 8 game stretch to all QB's best 8 game stretches, the entire effect vanishes and he comes in 12th either way. So if you're going to argue we shouldn't include games 4 and 5 for some reason, then you need to come up with an operational definition of "injury", apply it to all QB's and show what ppg looks like.
Until then, with Tannehill as starter this year we averaged 20 ppg, and we averaged 20 ppg with Osweiler, good enough for a pathetic 25th.
lol...And here is my reply in club:
I get that and I agree to an extent. The problem I have, though, is that RT was playing terrific until his shoulder was injured. Sure, he played through the pain, but I would think it's safe to assume that it affected his play. I mean, he had a 90, 123, and 155 passer rating his 1st 3 games and then post injury had a 47 and 57. Something other than "Gase sucks" was at play there.
RevRick, Pauly and resnor like this.
lol.. and my reply (it's an important topic so why not?)
I'm not against parsing data with greater detail by including more conditions (e.g. injury), but to see where our offense would rank you HAVE to apply the same standard to everyone. So you can't just take the ranking where the shoulder injury issue is applied to one team's QB and then see where that team would rank if that standard isn't applied to any other team. That's the main issue.
The other issue is that we don't know if the drop in rating is within range of expected for that type of injury. Those would I guess be the two most important stats (that I can think of right now), and in both cases you need to apply the standard to everyone.
Pauly likes this.
What if you also include the o-line injuries?
Again, I think it's a safe bet to assume that the offense dropped off, mostly, due to injury. Of course, IMO, opponents factor into that also.
resnor likes this.
Injuries are hard to adjust for, and it's mostly because of how the stats are compiled. First, it's hard to tell whether the player was a starter or not (which is important for assessing impact on the team), then they don't make it easy to find the team that player is on. They do have stats on IR and which games were missed, but really the databases you have to work with are poor.
So all these are valid questions, but I really don't know what the analysis would look like until it's done. Oh.. and another problem crops up when you talk about OL injuries. Estimating OL impact through stats is already so difficult you've probably noticed I haven't done it. So it's going to be a LONG time before we can have an unbiased estimate of the impact of injuries we've had once you take into consideration injuries for everyone else (e.g., note that the Titans had lots of key injuries in our first game.. want to adjust for that too?).

He helped put this roster together man. It's hard to absolve him completely, not to mention the continued struggles of putting together a consistent/cohesive O-line.
I'm not saying to absolve him- he's definitely responsible win or lose. Injuries have been WAY above the league average the past two years though and that's hard for anyone to overcome. We're basically one of the "scrub teams" from the strike decades ago while playing the pros- it's like that movie "The Replacements" unfolding before our very eyes.
Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory lasts forever.
resnor, Surfs Up 99 and danmarino like this.
Look, I don't think anyone is arguing about where we rank. The fact is, to use only stats, regardless of other teams, to gage the effectiveness of Gase or his offense, without considering the injuries, is short sighted at best. Clearly your starting QB trying to play through a shoulder injury is going to negatively impact your offense. Perhaps the reason Tannehill was trying to play through was because the team felt that Tannehill at say 70% was better than Osweiler at 100%.

Some good discussion. My take is:
** Fire Tannenbaum or reassign him to a non-football related position. If we have a chance to grab a legitimate and proven GM/ talent evaluator then Ross needs to pay the man. (note: it could be he would want to bring in his own HC. If so, that could screw up my keep Gase comment, but a guy might not come otherwise. Better to have someone with vision who knows talent)
** Keep Gase. Lets not Churn the HC. The longer we can keep a system in place the better for everyone on offense
**Keep Tannehill (if healthy), but bring in some real competition at QB (through the draft and/or in free agency) and let the best man win. If during the season, you need to pull a guy and insert the runner up, do it. Don't settle for mediocrity, keep them hungry
** Seriously upgrade the OL and give whoever we have at QB a fighting chance
RevRick, KeyFin and resnor like this.
Cbrad, no one is arguing that we aren't what our record is. The argument is that judging Gase based on stats and record, is incredibly unfair based on the myriad of injuries. This team looks nothing like the team from the first three games.
The_Dark_Knight and KeyFin like this.
Yeah I understand your argument. It's just that for me, a statistical analysis that properly adjusts for injuries is necessary before I can incorporate injuries into my decision making the way you do. There's so much bias humans have that I just don't trust looking only at our injury situation and, however terrible it feels like, assuming that's so bad it skews the key stats I'm using to suggest we get rid of Gase.
And for reference those are:
1) Most successful coaches show it early (by year 3.. with most HoF coaches actually by year 2).
2) Gase is on track to be the first Dolphins coach to have 3 consecutive years where BOTH his offense and defense ranked below average
3) Gase on average helps you win 2 more games than expected (per season) based solely on point differential.
Point #3 suggests Gase is doing better than expected, while points #1 and #2 are powerful stats IMO that have to be adjusted in an unbiased way before I disregard them. So while I agree injuries are huge, I don't yet have the evidence most of those other coaches never dealt with major injuries, and as pointed out before injuries are up across the board so you have to adjust for that too (e.g., Titans game).
So that's where I stand right now.
Surfs Up 99 and Pauly like this.
But that's the thing... I'm not comparing Gase to any HoF coaches. Really, I'm not that concerned with it. I know that running with backup QBs is not a recipe for success the vast majority of the time. I don't need to get too in depth into stats for that. So, I don't think it's at all unreasonable to look at the situation over the past three years, and give Gase a pass. Or, even look at this year, and I don't really even care if any other coach has had this extent of injuries, but just look at the Dolphins, see a backup QB starting, three starting receivers out (at one point 4, I think?), three oline out, and say, Yeah, I give Gase a pass, or maybe I congratulate him for being in the Wildcard hunt still.
RevRick and The_Dark_Knight like this.
We are missing 9/11ths of our offense. Statistically, isn't 81.8% of something being broken/missing far past the typical "point of no return"?
KeyFin said:
Don't know.. we haven't missed a beat in terms of average points scored per game in games 1-5 vs. games 6-10. So exactly how impactful are these injuries on offense? That's ultimately the question and you need to find the average impact to properly adjust, which you can't infer just by listing what percentage are injured in a specific case.
KeyFin likes this.
You don't see the issue with comparing offensive production from the first three weeks of a season to production in weeks 6-10?
Is it your belief that teams don't get better offensively as the season progresses? You actually believe that the team that started the season would be having the same results as they are now?
I'm saying I don't know how much to adjust expected win% for the injuries we have.
Surfs Up 99 and KeyFin like this.
And I'm saying who cares? I understand you want a numerical value, I'm just saying that it's meaningless to me. I just know there's no way that the offense can function as designed missing that many starters.

If we want to look at other stats, team passer rating made, yards per passing attempt, yards per carry, time of possession can also be used. Also the rating/ranking of the Ds faced could impact.
Ppg also includes defensive points scored so that could be skewing results too.

If you want any shot at the best and brightest executives then yes, you've got to give them authority to make a change at HC, even if it's immediate, forcing a coach on a new GM is how we ended up settling on Hickey after the better candidates turned us down. I don't even like Tannenbaum but if he goes everyone goes, Gase, Mike T, Grier, their fates should be tied together.

Gase's second season as HC, I have to toss out the window as it pertains to the offense. Last year, we didn't have our starting QB so any ability to further evaluate Tannehill for Gase's system...or afford progress from the 2016 season just wasn't possible. Tannehill unfortunately was shaking the rust off before his shoulder injury but even in that 3 game stretch, the TEAM played well.
With all of the injuries...21 of them by my last count, well to paraphrase Mr Myagi from Karate Kid
"One to one problem yes. Five to one problem too much ask anyone"
When you literally don't HAVE your starters....there's only so much you can do with back-ups....and to be in Wildcard contention with this many back-ups playing?

I generally feel that Gase is a good offensive coordinator. I think his biggest problem has been fielding a healthy team. It took him two years to replace players that didn't fit with ones that would flourish in his system and this was really the first year where you got a sense of the potential of the offense. The first three weeks was more about not clicking then playcalling. Tannehill was rusty after 600 days of not starting, especially with the deep ball. The line was trying to jell. The receivers were trying to get on the same page. Gesicki is a rookie. And yet we won. We won having barely scratched the potential of the offense. Had we staid healthy I have no doubt we would have one of the most dangerous offenses in the NFL.
That's not to say he doesn't have faults. I think he gets away from the run game a bit too easily. Seems like he prefers to outsmart you then beat you physically. To me when you are winning the physical battle you stay with it. It's only when you are in a stalemate or losing the physical battle that you try to out think your opponent.
I also think his insistence on playcalling keeps him from having a better pulse for where the team is at. His teams tend to have a penchant after sustaining injuries of falling apart for a week or two. He shows his genius in being able to patch up everything that's thrown at him but I wonder if he had an offensive coordinator would he be able to anticipate better when trouble was coming.
Some.people blow these negatives way out of proportion. In the grand scheme of things he is doing way more right than wrong. We just need the Gods to allow us to have a relatively injury free season to show how dynamic his offense can be

So, I read that as 2017 and 2018 not really counting against Gase due to injuries. So, do you give him 2019 as the do-or-die season? What I mean by that is if Gase still believes in Tanny as his guy, then he gets 2019 to show what his offense can do when not wrecked by injuries. If Tanny gets hurt yet again, or the team fails to make a playoff push (going 10-6 but missing the playoffs due to tie breakers would be enough to keep Gase for example) then you clean house for 2020.
If Gase admits he has serious doubts about Tanny being healthy or playing well again? Give him a one year contract extension and let him draft a QB to develop. Or if Gase wants a free agent/trade QB like Bridgewater? Go get him (the Saints can't keep him unless he signs cheap again to sit for another year behind Brees but Miami would be starting money and a starting spot).
If Ross believes in Gase, then hitting reset on his time in Miami is the way to go. I'd need to hear from Gase what his plan is though, and betting on Tanny at this point just seems foolish.
It's hard to estimate how much we should adjust expected win percentage given the specific injuries we have, but it's REALLY important that any discussion of injuries include comparison to the rest of the league or you'll have no idea how bad your situation is relative to others. Here's one article that classified teams into tiers based on what they perceive the severity of injuries is at midseason (Nov 7th). Worth looking at whether you agree with them or not:

They placed Miami in tier 3 out of a total of 4 possible tiers which are: Tier 1 = "Healthiest NFL teams", Tier 2 = "Recovering teams", Tier 3 = "Struggling since camp", and Tier 4 = "Most hobbled teams". So they think we're worse than average injury-wise, but they don't think we're excessively bad in terms of injuries.
Something else interesting is that they list a statistic: "Total missed games". Dolphins had the 8th fewest total missed games at 86. The correlation between win% and "Total missed games" is a whopping 0.0489.. or essentially NO correlation! Granted, "total missed games" isn't the same thing as "total missed games by starters" which they don't list, but it is still VERY interesting that total missed games has no statistical effect on win% (I doubt most people would have predicted that).
Anyway, like I said the purpose of this post is to nudge people into looking at injuries for all other teams instead of just looking at injuries for one team only. Not saying their classification has merit, not saying it doesn't, but it's worth discussing.
Okay, but at the same time it was a new offense with many new pieces/parts that we expected to take some time to gel together. Only, we kept getting new pieces and parts since people kept getting hurt. Our current offense has exactly 1 game of experience together where some teams have up to 10 games. To me, that's where your PPG deviation (or lack of) comes from.
I'm sorry, I don't put much stock in an evaluation that doesn't have use in the worst tier when considering we missing like over 2/3rds of our starting offense.

I've been searching the forum post history for that time you pointed this out during the 10-6 Playoff year.
I can't seem to find anything. Weird.
Lol I'm not going to go fishing to see if I did, but I did say it when we were 3-0 this year.
The first 3 games of this season, the "mighty" Patriots scored only 19 ppg.

From 1990 when the NFL introduced the bye week, and excluding 1993 when they had 2 bye weeks, the maximum difference in average ppg by week played (from weeks 1-17) is just under 1.1 points. It's true that the lowest scoring week is week 1 with an average of 20.72 ppg, but the highest scoring is week 12 with an average of 21.80 ppg, and as you can see that difference is WAY too small to affect my argument.
Actually, if you separate it by weeks 1-5 vs. weeks 6-10 you get an average of 21.19 ppg for weeks 1-5 vs. 21.45 ppg for weeks 6-10. So there's no argument here that one should expect weeks 1-5 to produce fewer ppg.
Except yours is as you admit based on incomplete input ergo the garbage in garbage out quote.
lol.. no that's not how you determine whether input to a statistical analysis is "garbage" or not. IF it was true that incomplete info = garbage in, then ALL statistics is garbage. Statistics summarize data and thus always involves incomplete info.
No, to show input is garbage you either have external evidence clearly demonstrating this (e.g., the measuring instrument was found to be broken afterwards) or you do a statistical analysis including the new info and show it vastly changes the conclusions. And that's precisely what's so hard to do with injury data. So right now it's just opinion whether including injuries or not will vastly change the key stats I listed.
First off injuries is just one variable you're missing to have a qualified assessment. There are are tens if not hundreds of others. You are working with 1 to 5 percent of what you need and are arriving with a conclusion. It would be like mathematicians for NASA calculating miles and fuel needed and leaving out gravity, weight and the other hundreds of inputs needed to land on the moon. Would you want to be in that rocket?
I said it once and I'll say it again. You can't use statistics to analyze individual performance in football. There are too many variables. If you want to use your time productively stick to team stats. There is a manageable amount of variables to account for with team analysis.
The high correlation between passer rating and what most observers think are the best QB's in history suggests it actually does become a good measure of individual ability WHEN sample size is huge (e.g., over a career of 5+ years or so).
Secondly, how much information you use isn't necessarily correlated with how good your model is. To predict the orbits of planets think about how little information is used: mass, current position and velocity etc.. All the fine details of geological (or in Earth's case, biological) changes, or even what other forces like magnetism do is ignored and you get very accurate results. Furthermore, the more variables you put in your model the more sources of error you introduce. Often predictions get worse beyond a certain level of complexity.
Pauly, Surfs Up 99 and KeyFin like this.
That's the biggest problem with science- you need to start with the "known" to eliminate those wild variables. But that's hard to determine in sports when there's so many elements to consider. For instance, we often hear that teams with 25+ carries win football games. But we also know that those carries only come in the 2nd half by the team that's already winning and trying to run out the clock. The extra carries are a by-product of already doing something else well...they're not the reason for victory.
We could just as easily say that Miami is undefeated when their QB takes a knee in the 4th quarter with less than a minute left. Does that mean taking a knee guarantees a win? It's a "stat" that flat out lies to you despite being accurate.
I understand passer rating is one of the greatest predictors of success, but we know that to be unreliable in Miami. Tannehill had great numbers the first three games yet the wins came from special teams and the defense making plays down the stretch. With Brock on the field, passer rating is even less reliable since we went almost three weeks without a TD....the rating means nothing without the points. Because let's face it- the best predictor isn't passer rating, it's the team that scores more points than their opponent. That also has a variable based on defenses, special teams, etc....one team might have to score an average of 30 PPG while another only need 24.
So while I agree with you that more touch points leads to more room for model error, you have to be positive on what matters/what doesn't matter to have any sort of accuracy. Our QB's for the past 5 years have been slightly above average, yet our offense has been among the worst (save the 2016 season). That tells me passer rating isn't the stat we should be focused on to analyze this team....at least not by itself.

Q+A: Maria Alcivar on DACA and being an ally
News & Commentary | By Jon Krieg, Feb 5, 2018
Maria Alcivar recently served as a Lang Fellow with AFSC's Immigrant Rights Program in Des Moines. She is currently a full-time student in the Human Development and Family Studies Ph.D. Program at Iowa State.
What did you work on with AFSC?
I mainly worked on the logistics of a project called La Resistencia Iowa. That project originally started from a group of primarily women of color who saw the need to have a hotline to report ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] activity in the area after Donald Trump was elected. The hotline now is housed by AFSC with the help of several key community leaders and volunteers from the Des Moines area. It also influenced several other areas of Iowa to create their own local lines, which I find superb!
Are there stories that might exemplify what's been going on?
Stories range from "They came to the place where we work, and a couple of my friends were asked for identification, and they were taken." There were other instances in which callers would describe ICE agents looking for a specific person, saying they had a warrant, but still arresting everyone around that specific person, what we've called "collateral arrests."
We had a case of this family which had been living in Iowa for 15 years, and the father had a DUI from eight to 10 years ago. ICE had a record of that incident, so they were able to track him easily. ICE was surveilling their home. One day, when he went to work, they followed him to work and right before he got out of his car, three ICE cars surrounded him to take him into custody.
He has two young daughters. One is in high school, and the other is a little four-year-old. They are churchgoers, their daughters were baptized here in Iowa. Other than that one DUI eight to 10 years ago, there was nothing else on the gentleman's record.
So there's this misconception about what's really happening out there and what the Trump administration is saying they're doing. In reality, the folks who are being detained and deported are not criminals as they make it seem.
How do we change the narrative on immigration?
We need to move past this national rhetoric of "good immigrant/bad immigrant." That's one of the messages I've been trying to tackle as I build coalitions with people.
Everyone knows who Dreamers are, so we have support for the young folks who were brought by their parents. Because of DACA, we're seeing their excellence, we're seeing how they're contributing to local communities—by working and creating jobs, boosting the economy, especially here in Iowa in small towns. Buying property and engaging in higher education even more.
So we're proud of that, we're accepting of that. But we're not concentrating on who brought these awesome people here, right? We're saying, "Let's give all the rights and opportunities to the young folks, the Dreamers, the go-getters," but the original Dreamers were our parents.
There are 11 million of us undocumented immigrants here, and I consider myself one because I was for 14 years. I'm part of that community, even though I now have citizenship. That's always been my struggle because, even though I got citizenship, there's still 11 million out there that don't have it. I know what it is not to have documentation.
My mom was there for a longer time. She just recently got her documentation. And my brother has DACA. My family is a mixed-status family, so it's a constant thing that I have to keep fighting against. Because there hasn't been legislation that's addressed all the complexity of what it is to be an immigrant.
What's the most important thing for allies to be doing in this moment?
We're tired of allies asking us to give them more juice for their understanding, juice for their stories, juice for them to contribute. That's too much, it's draining to keep asking people to share their stories and share their lives with them. It's exhausting.
Especially coming from religious leaders, that has been one of my main awakenings. Because I've been involved in some conversations around sanctuary and what that means, and who's deserving of that or not.
I would think that religious and faith leaders would understand more. That would be the place where we would feel more at ease, as opposed to having to try to explain more and more of why this matters and why everyone should be allowed to have sanctuary. That is tiring, especially coming from an institution that's supposed to be forgiving, welcoming, and literally a sanctuary for everyone.
I always think of intent versus impact. Yes, your intentions may be awesome, your intentions may be good, you may be coming to this work because you know this is not right, you don't believe that anti-immigrant values are true American values. That might be your intention about why you want to learn about my story or those of other undocumented people.
But then what that does to us is also important. White allies need to understand that these issues have been part of the United States for way too long, and if you don't get it by now, I'm sorry. I'm not going to keep trying to make you understand or keep trying to enlighten you. It's exhausting enough that we have to constantly fight, basically, to live in a place where you're free from persecution.
And on top of that, we have to explain it to you, over and over, constantly, for you to get it? I mean, there's is a lot of activism and programming around our lived experiences, here in Iowa, too. AFSC in Iowa has this awesome video contest for young folks to participate in. You can get a sense of what our lives are like there. There are tons of national organizations that are providing that information for you through videos, campaigns, social media, and more.
You don't need to put more weight on our shoulders; you can do your own research. Take some of the responsibility for your own understanding of immigration issues. Because it's too late now, Trump is in office, and these things are happening to us; they have been happening to us even before Trump.

After five years of trying to turn around low-performing schools, Tennessee's state-run schools aren't performing any better than schools that haven't received any intervention, according to new research released Tuesday.
But locally controlled low-achieving districts called Innovation Zones have not only improved performance — as shown in other studies — but have sustained those improvements over five years.
That time period is seen as a significant marker because previous research has found it can take up to five years to see improvement from school interventions. Both the state-run district and the local iZones were launched 6 years ago.
Tennessee is seen as a leader in turnaround work around the nation. The state-run district began taking over schools in 2012, saying it would vault 5 percent of the state's lowest-achieving schools to the top 25 percent within five years. This model, based on the Recovery School District in Louisiana, allowed Tennessee to take control of struggling local schools in Memphis and Nashville, and to partner with charter management organizations to turn them around.
But the district hasn't produced large academic gains. It's struggling to attract students, retain high-quality teachers, and to build a climate of collaboration among its schools, which now number 30.
We "took the lessons we've learned from both the ASD and models like the Shelby County iZone, and it's provided a framework for a more nuanced approach to how we do school improvement in our state," she said.
This summer, GRAD Academy Memphis became the third state-run charter school to close in Memphis.
Unlike the Recovery School District in Louisiana, the Tennessee state-run district is required to serve students within its schools' neighborhoods, Henry said. The Achievement School District sought to maintain neighborhood-based schools, where attendance is based on who is zoned to that school.
"When charter schools are based on choice, they can control entrance and exit in a way a neighborhood school can't," Henry said.
For example, some charters only accept students at the beginning of the school year, he said.
"In the ASD, you don't have that competition or matching in place that may be the elements most crucial to some positive results we've seen in the Recovery School District," he added.
The research brief is based on data collected from 2012 to 2017 including student and teacher demographics and student test scores from state exams and end-of-course exams.
The study is the latest in a series analyzing the state-run schools and iZones, published by researchers who have followed school turnaround efforts as part of the Tennessee Education Research Alliance, or TERA. The research builds off of previous findings: iZone schools are improving students' reading, math, and science test scores faster than state-run schools and low-achievement schools receiving no extra support.
Researchers compared "moderate to large" growth in iZone schools to that of other school intervention models throughout the nation, such as the School Redesign Grants model in Massachusetts and the state takeover in Lawrence Public Schools.
But Henry said that this week's brief is the first study of its kind nationwide, and that the research comes down strongly in favor of iZone models.
On the other hand, Henry added, there's also evidence that the Achievement School District's original model isn't producing results.
Seeking to turn its state-run district around, the Tennessee Department of Education recently hired Sharon Griffin, the former leader of the iZone schools in Memphis, to take over as chief of the district.
Sharon Griffin, a longtime leader at Shelby County Schools, is the next leader of the state's turnaround district.
Griffin started in her new role this month and told Chalkbeat that re-establishing the district's credibility with the communities it serves is her first goal, as well as fostering collaboration, which she was known for in iZone schools.
The operators of state-run schools have had a steep learning curve amid daunting challenges that include high student mobility, extreme poverty, a lack of shared resources, barriers to school choice, and on-the-ground opposition. But the state department is banking on Griffin's previous success to turn over a new page for the Achievement School District.
Griffin added that she's focusing on how to better support and retain high-performing educators and leaders during her first months on the job.
The research alliance will continue to study the possible factors that may be influencing the impacts of the iZone and state-run district. According to its statement, researchers are planning to explore how much possible barriers to improvement such as teacher turnover, chronic absenteeism or principal turnover, have suppressed more positive effects of Tennessee's turnaround interventions.

Riot police clashed with thousands of protesters in Skopje over the alleged cover-up of the death of a man in 2011
Outside the Balkans, Macedonia is rarely on the radar. But the violence that erupted outside government buildings has brought home the scale of the country's crisis.
Dozens of people were hurt as protesters took to the streets on Wednesday amid claims of a government cover-up.
Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski took power in 2006. Three elections since then, most recently in 2014, have returned his VMRO-DPMNE party to power in a succession of coalition governments.
Wire-taps
Mr Gruevski has certainly made his mark - most visibly on the capital, Skopje. A policy of "antiquisation" aimed to recast the city as the cradle of civilisation has resulted in a frenzy of construction.
Dozens of neo-classical buildings and scores of statues were erected in just a few years, transforming the city.
Image source, EPA
Critics accuse the government of being heavy-handed with those who oppose building projects in Skopje
But a difference in aesthetic preferences was not the only thing which upset critics. They also accused the authorities of being heavy-handed towards opponents of the construction projects.
Now the political opposition is accusing Mr Gruevski and his government of intolerance towards all forms of dissent. The allegations include vote-rigging, bribery and making illicit recordings of more than 20,000 people.
Since February, opposition leader Zoran Zaev has been releasing leaked recordings which he says were provided by members of the intelligence services alarmed by the government's apparently authoritarian leanings.
'Foreign intelligence'
"After nine years of leading the country, they need to control everything," he told the BBC. "They're targeting the opposition, journalists, businesses and ambassadors. We need help from the EU and international friends."
Several MEPs have brokered talks in Brussels between the government and the opposition, while the US has called for a "credible" investigation into the wire-tapping allegations.
Nonetheless, Mr Zaev has found himself facing criminal charges in Macedonia for releasing the recordings.
The government says that Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski has also been a victim of wire-tapping
Foreign Minister Nikola Poposki admitted that the affair had damaged the country's international image. But he insisted that Mr Gruevski was a victim of the secret recordings rather than the person behind them.
"Why would Gruevski tap himself?" he asked the BBC.
"There is foreign intelligence in this scheme. There is no proof of who the foreign power is - but the people in the affair have admitted that a foreign power is involved," he said, referring to Mr Zaev's comments during a conversation with the prime minister.
The opposition leader is certainly no angel. He was given a presidential pardon in 2008 after being arrested over a land scandal, although he insisted the charges were politically-motivated.
His current actions could easily be interpreted as an attempt to overturn a democratic election for personal gain.
But, at least in Skopje, it is not hard to find people who appreciate his challenge to the government.
Opposition leader Zoran Zaev is facing criminal charges in Macedonia for releasing the secret recordings
"I don't like Zaev, but I like what he's doing for my country," one civil society activist told the BBC.
Among long-term Balkan-watchers, the response is more of a resigned shrug.
Eric Gordy, a senior lecturer at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London, says recent events amount to local business as usual.
"It's something to be worried about if it escalates to the use of violence to stay in power - which is not impossible, but also not likely. But having corrupt governments in the region that abuse people's rights - that's the normal situation."

Q: StyleCop SA1402 and Generics I think SA1402 is a great rule but I have problem with generics. I've got a class that uses the Func delegate, so the names roughly parallel that signature. That is, I have classes named Operation<TType>, Operation<T, TType>, Operation<T1, T2, TType> and so on. According to SA1402, I need to put all these small classes in separate files and come up with some strange decoration for the file name.  Additionally, if I need to change one of these items I'll typically need to make changes to the rest. This seems less supportable than a single module.
Does it make sense for SA1402 to allow generics of the same basic class (as well as partials) to reside in one file? In this case all permutations of the class Operation would reside in 'Operation.cs'.

A: They are several nameing convension. It seems the most popular is

Operation[TType].cs
Operation[T,TType].cs
Operation[T1, T2, TType].cs

But you can also use something more classic, like

Operation`1.cs
Operation`2.cs
Operation`3.cs

(see Convention for Filenames of Generic Classes)

A: I tend to agree with you, in general, SA1402 is a good idea.  But in this specific case, and others like it (i have a generic and non-generic implementation of the same class).  Like many others I think  having more than one class per file is totally fine if it makes sense.  I choose to ignore this warning at a very specific Scope and Target level:
[assembly: SuppressMessage(
    "StyleCop.CSharp.MaintainabilityRules",
    "SA1402:FileMayOnlyContainASingleType",
    Justification = "How else would we name generic and non generic (https://stackoverflow.com/a/4063061/516433).",
    Scope = "type",
    Target = "~T:Pastdev.Cli.AppResources`1<!!0>")]

A: Using the Operation<TType>.cs approach will work if you have overridden the StyleCop's fileNamingConvention setting (File naming conventions).
Otherwise, it works automatically if you name your file like: Operation{TType}.cs, etc. (Note the curly braces)

Q: ReactJS: Login page shows whenever I refresh the page when im logged in I'm trying to make a simple SSO login react app using react-google-login. Everything is working fine and I can login alright but whenever I'm logged in and I refresh the page, I can see my Login page for a split second before redirecting me back to the home page which is only accessible when a user is logged in. I want my app to persist its logged in state even when I refresh because it seems that it takes a split second for it to read if someone is logged in that's why it shows the login page for a split second. Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Here's my App.js

  useEffect(() => {

      console.log(localStorage.getItem('accToken'))
      if(localStorage.getItem('accToken') !== null && localStorage.getItem('accToken') === `"${accToken}"`){
        setLoggedIn(true)
      }
      else{
        setLoggedIn(false)
      }
      }, 50);
  }
  , [accToken])

  return (

             Login Page

            <Link to="/">
                <button>button</button>
            </Link>
            <GoogleLogin
                clientId={clientId}
                buttonText="Login"
                onSuccess={onLoginSuccess}
                onFailure={onLoginFailure}
                cookiePolicy={"single_host_origin"}
                isSignedIn={true}
            />

    )
}

A: This seems to be happening because the initial value of the state "loggedIn" is false.
Add a function in useState of loggedIn which returns true or false depending if access token is present or not.

rubrics; information literacy; assessment
This paper reports the results of a pilot project in which the authors developed rubrics for assessing information literacy in the disciplines and examined whether rubrics are a feasible and effective method for librarians to assess their students' information literacy skills. We developed rubrics for capstone classes in chemistry and psychology based on benchmarks appropriate for each major. We then used the rubrics to assess the research and information literacy skills the students displayed in their papers or projects.
