Mac Miller has been very silent, musically, over the past year or so and that is because he's been working on his third studio album. He has revealed that the album will be called GO:OD AM and will be released on September 18th. His last album, Watching Movies With The Sound Off, was very impressive so I'm excited to see what some privacy and seclusion can bring out of Mac. Stay tuned.

The All-In-One Workout
These do-anywhere workouts employ one very basic piece of equipment to build strength, endurance and athleticism — in 15 minutes or less.
By Andrew Heffernan | March 2011
Many people take a "divide and conquer" approach to fitness: Lift weights to build their muscles; jump on the treadmill to work the heart and lungs. But shouldn't it be possible to work everything with a single supercharged, all-purpose workout? Indeed. Cue the complex.
Complexes have been heralded by strength and conditioning experts as a prime example of "hybrid" strength-and-cardio training. Wil Fleming, CSCS, director of sport performance for Force Fitness and Performance in Bloomington, Ind., describes them as "a group of two or more big-ticket strength-training moves performed back-to-back and done with the same piece of equipment, without letting go of the weight or resting between exercises." The idea is to create an intense workout that taxes the entire body.
Although they're primarily considered "metabolic" workouts (designed to burn fat and improve cardiovascular conditioning), complexes also build muscle and strength. "Complexes achieve what 95 percent of the population wants from a fitness program," says Robert dos Remedios, strength and conditioning coach for the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, Calif., and author of Cardio Strength Training. Namely, improved body composition (more muscle, less fat), better work capacity (the ability do more in less time; great for sports performance), and improved energy and vitality outside the gym.
Complexes are efficient, and there's a version for everyone, making them a viable option as a standalone workout when you're pressed for time or as an intense full-body warm-up when you're less rushed.
Though they can be tough, complexes aren't just for the über-fit, Fleming clarifies. A beginner might start with just two exercises for five reps each before taking a two-minute rest. "But I could hit a high-level athlete with eight reps each of dead lifts, Romanian dead lifts, rows, cleans, front squats, overhead presses and lunges," he says. "Complexes are as hard or as easy as you want them to be."
The Do-Anywhere Complex
The following workout, designed by sports performance expert Wil Fleming, CSCS, requires only a place to stand and a single heavy object — such as a weight plate or kettlebell. But anything heavy, sturdy and grippable will work — even a rock or milk jug.
Before you begin, make sure you can comfortably perform each individual exercise in the complex with at least the amount of weight you're planning to use during the workout. Choose your weight based on what you think you can handle for the toughest exercise in the complex (for one person, that might be the swing; for someone else, the push press). That will probably mean you wind up using a lot less weight on some exercises than you're used to. "That's normal," says Robert dos Remedios. "The goal is to get your heart rate way up, not to lift maximum weight."
With your chosen weight in hand, it's go time: Perform all six exercises, back-to-back, for five to eight reps each, without resting or putting the weight down. Perform three to four full circuits, resting 90 seconds between rounds. Feel manageable? Grab a heavier weight plate, a bigger rock or a larger jug, and gradually work up to completing all rounds with just 60 seconds between efforts.
1. Swing
• Stand with your feet about one-and-a-half to two shoulder widths apart, toes pointed slightly out.
• Hold the outside edges of the weight plate with your arms straight and hands at 3 and 9 o'clock.
• Maintaining the natural curve in your lower back, bend your knees slightly and lean forward about 45 degrees, hinging at the hips and allowing the plate to hang between your knees.
• Keeping your weight on your heels and your arms straight, simultaneously drive your hips forcefully forward and straighten your knees, allowing the weight to swing forward and up until your hands are slightly above shoulder height.
• As the weight swings down and back to its original position, allow your knees to bend and your torso to hinge forward
• Repeat for five to eight repetitions.
What it does: "The swing ramps up the metabolic demands of the complex right from the start," says Fleming. "It requires lots of action from the entire back side of the body."
2. Sumo Dead Lift
• Maintaining the same stance as in the previous exercise, shift your grip so you're holding the top edge of the weight plate with both hands, thumbs toward you. Allow the plate to hang down toward the floor.
• Keeping the natural arch in your lower back, simultaneously lean forward at the hip joints and bend your knees until the low edge of the weight plate taps the floor.
• Drive down through your heels and return to the starting position.
What it does: "The wide stance ensures the focus of the exercise remains on the glutes, an area that many people have trouble activating," says Fleming. "Keep your chest up and your eyes facing directly forward, rather than craning your neck and looking up."
• With your feet shoulder-width apart, grip the weight plate at 9 and 3 o'clock.
• Preserving the curve in your lower back and keeping your head and neck neutral, bend your knees slightly and lean forward at the hips until your torso is at a 45-degree angle to the floor. Allow the plate to hang straight downward.
• Keeping your lower body rigid and your lower back in its natural arch, simultaneously pull your shoulder blades together and pull the weight plate up until it touches your abdomen.
• Lower the weight under control.
What it does: "Keep your tempo controlled, both on the lifting and the lowering phase," Fleming notes. "This exercise is great for your posture."
4. Goblet Front-Squat
• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly out.
• Holding the weight plate horizontally with your hands at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions, curl it close to your body and rest its back edge on your upper chest.
• Keeping your back in its natural arch and your torso as upright as possible, squat down until your hips are below your knees (assuming you can achieve this depth without breaking form; otherwise, stay above that point).
• Keeping your knees tracking over your feet, drive down through your heels, and return to the starting position.
What it does: "The 'rack' position [where you hold the weight on your upper chest] is actually more comfortable than it looks," says Fleming. "Just grab the plate and squeeze it in tight to the front of your body, forearms pulled toward one another. This position helps with core activation and posture, and can help improve your form in all other types of squats as well."
5. Push Press
• Start in the same position as the previous exercise.
• Keeping your torso upright, bend your knees slightly.
• In one fluid motion, drive through your hips, knees and ankles as if you were trying to jump, and press the weight straight overhead until your elbows are completely locked out.
• Lower the weight back to the rack position, and repeat for five to eight repetitions.
What it does: "I like to include exercises that use as much muscle mass as possible," says Fleming. "And the push press, which uses the upper and lower body at once, fits that bill nicely. The leg drive also takes some of the pressure off the shoulders — good for people who have shoulder problems." But, he advises, skip it if you experience joint pain.
6. Diagonal Chop
• Stand with your feet at shoulder width, weight plate hanging down, and hands at 9 and 3 o'clock.
• Rotate your shoulders and hips to the left, bending the hips and knees so the plate is outside your left knee.
• Keeping your arms straight, rotate your body forcefully to the right, straightening your knees and raising the plate in a diagonal arc in front of you, finishing with your arms overhead and your torso rotated to your right as far as possible.
• Lower the weight, under control, along the same path back to the starting position.
• Repeat five to eight times going from left to right, then repeat on the other side.
What it does: "Consciously resist the rotation of your torso," advises Fleming. "That really fires up the core."
Strength Strategy
So, you want to strike out and try your own version of this versatile, challenging workout. Keep these things in mind when putting together a complex, whether you're using a barbell, some dumbbells or just your body weight.
Tough stuff first. "If you're going to include explosive exercises [moves that require you to accelerate the weight quickly, like swings or high pulls] put them first," advises Wil Fleming, CSCS, director of sport performance for Force Fitness and Performance in Bloomington, Ind. "You're going to be too tired to perform them with good form later on in the complex."
Seek balance. Balance the entire sequence of exercises, including at least one pulling exercise for every pushing movement, and at least one lower-body movement for every upper-body movement. "The point is to get a full-body metabolic challenge," says Robert Dos dos Remedios, author of Cardio Strength Training, "Not to exhaust one particular muscle group."
Go with the flow. The sequence of the exercises should flow together seamlessly. You don't want to have to lift the weight overhead for your first exercise, then drop it all the way to the floor for your second, then lift it overhead again for the third movement. "One great method is to start with the bar overhead and work your way down to the floor, or vice versa," says Fleming. For example, you might do push presses, then front squats, then bent-over rows, then straight-leg Romanian dead lifts.

Q: Calculate Android TranslationY value for different screens and Animation I have a fragment for more options in my app that I want mostly hidden except for one small rectangle that says "Pull up for more options". This rectangle is parked at the bottom of the screen. When the user pulls it up, it then pops up from the bottom but NOT taking over the full screen, only about 1/3rd of the bottom. Just enough to show some of the options (checkboxes).
I am doing this and have it working by setting the TranslationY setting of the options fragment layout, which is in a FrameLayout container by the way, so that it is at the bottom of the screen and just shows my "Pull up for more options" text.
Then, when they pull up on that, I have some motion events to bring it up to where I want.
Here is the issue, I can get it working just fine on one display using hard coded TranslationY settings. For example, on a Galaxy S2 which has a density of 1.5 (HDPI 240) and a screen of 480x800, these are my hard coded values that work. I had to find them just by playing around with the numbers.
int trackOptionsHome = 650; //Parked at bottom of screen.
int trackOptionsExtended = 450; //Extended out where I want it to.

Again, with those hard coded values on the S2, it works fine and the way I want. However, if I now try a different device that is STILL HDPI (1.5/240) except the screen size is 480x640 (3.5in), it does not display properly which is to be expected. So then I implemented something like this:
float trackOptionsHome = ((dMetrics.HeightPixels / dMetrics.Density) + 120);
float trackOptionsExtended = ((dMetrics.HeightPixels / dMetrics.Density) - 100);

This was to try to take into account for different display density and sizes. I was then trying to do math at the end of each to position my fragment where I want it. However, I am getting inconsistent results and the numbers are still arbitrary. I have to find them by playing around.
This raises two questions:
1. How do I make sure I get the results I want on DIFFERENT display densities, which is not even the issue I am having at the moment since I have the same density.
2. How do I scale properly for the different size screens, which appears to be my immediate problem.
For math purposes at the moment (I can adjust as needed after I get an answer) let's say I want 50px of the fragment showing from the bottom when it is in the home position and 300px showing up from the bottom when extended.
What is the correct way to do this?
Thanks!
Mike

Impeachment?
Should the U.S. House of Representatives bring articles of impeachment against Barack Obama? Do you believe Mr. Obama is guilty of impeachable offenses? Whether or not you believe he should be formally questioned about the scandals of his administration and his executive orders, more and more people in our nation are coming to that conclusion.
Actor Steven Seagal told attendees at the Western Conservative Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, on February 22, 2014: "If the truth came out, Obama would be impeached."
What are articles of impeachment? "The articles of impeachment are the set of charges drafted against a public official to initiate the impeachment process. The articles of impeachment do not result in the removal of the official, but instead require the enacting body to take further action, such as bringing the articles to a vote before the full body.
"In the United States, the articles of impeachment are drafted by the House of Representatives for cases involving federal officials. Once drafted, a supermajority of the United States Senate is required to convict based on the articles."
This statement simply means that impeachment of federal officials starts in the U.S. House of Representatives, but the U.S. Senate has to vote for conviction. Two U.S. Presidents – Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton – have been impeached by the House, but neither President left office because the U.S. Senate failed to convict them. Richard Nixon resigned from the office of President before he could be – and probably would have been – impeached.
Let's take a look at the articles of impeachment brought against these former Presidents. First, we will look at Richard Nixon's articles of impeachment for "high crimes and misdemeanors." Article 1 states that Nixon had "prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice" into the "unlawful entry of the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee." "Subsequent thereto, Richard M. Nixon, using the powers of his high office, engaged personally and through his close subordinates and agents, in a course of conduct or plan designed to delay, impede, and obstruct the investigation of such illegal entry; to cover up, conceal and protect those responsible; and to conceal the existence and scope of other unlawful covert activities…."
Article 2 states that Nixon used "the powers of the office of President of the United States … [to] repeatedly engage in conduct violating the constitutional rights of citizens, impairing the due and proper administration of justice and the conduct of lawful inquiries, or contravening the laws governing agencies of the executive branch and the purpose of these agencies…."
Article 3 states that Nixon "has failed without lawful cause or excuse to produce papers and things as directed by duly authorized subpoenas issued by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives … and willfully disobeyed such subpoenas." Nixon substituted "his judgment as to what materials were necessary for the inquiry, interposed the powers of the Presidency against the lawful subpoenas of the House of Representatives, thereby assuming to himself functions and judgments necessary to the exercise of the sole power of impeachment vested by the Constitution in the House of Representatives." Nixon "acted in a manner contrary to his trust as president and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States…."
Now let's take a look at Bill Clinton's articles of impeachment. Article 1 states that Clinton "willfully corrupted and manipulated the judicial process of the United States for his personal gain and exoneration, impeding the administration of justice." "Clinton swore to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth before a Federal grand jury of the United States. Contrary to that oath, William Jefferson Clinton willfully provided perjurious, false and misleading testimony to the grand jury… [regarding the Paula Jones case and his relationship with Monica Lewinsky].
Article 2 did not pass the House. Article 3 states that Clinton "prevented, obstructed and impeded the administration of justice, and has to that end engaged personally, and through his subordinates and agents, in a course of conduct or scheme designed to delay, impede, cover up and conceal the existence of evidence and testimony related to a Federal civil rights action brought against him in a duly instituted judicial proceeding…."
Constitutional attorney Michael Connelly drafted the following articles of impeachment for Barack Hussein Obama for "high crimes and misdemeanors." Article 1 states that Obama "has willfully corrupted and manipulated the executive branch to increase its power and destroy the balance of powers between the three branches of government that is established by the Constitution of the United States." The following acts were enumerated: 1) "creating new departments and appointing Czars to oversee these departments;" 2) "these Czars and the Departments have budgets that are not subject to being controlled by Congress;" 3) "made recess appointments when the Senate was not in recess and these appointments were struck down by the Supreme Court;" 4) "refusing to enforce laws against illegal immigration, defend in court the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), and refusing to enforce Federal voting laws;" 5) "made or changed laws by either issuing unconstitutional executive orders or instructing governmental departments to take illegal and unconstitutional actions…"
Article 2 states that "Obama has repeatedly violated his oath of office and the requirements of the Constitution by willfully withholding information on important issues or actively taken part in misleading the Congress and the American people…." The following acts were enumerated: 1) "using Executive privilege to block Congress from getting documents relating to the DOJ's Operation Fast and Furious and the death of U.S. Border Patrol Brian Terry;" 2) "had members of his administration provide false information about the act of terrorism committed in Benghazi … and refusing to allow the State Department and other federal agencies to cooperate in the Congressional investigation;" 3) "falsely labeled the mass murder of American soldiers at Ft. Hood, Texas, as `workplace violence' instead of the act of Islamic terrorism it was;" 4) "falsely labeling the IRS targeting of conservative and Christian groups as a `phony' scandal and refusing to order an active pursuit of the investigation into who was ultimately responsible;" 5) "refusing to order an independent investigation of the actions of Eric Holder and the DOJ in targeting the phone records of members of the news media;" 6) "telling the American people on a television show that the NSA was not prying into the emails and phone calls of Americans when the facts prove otherwise."
The second part of Article 2 states that Obama "repeatedly violated his oath of office by seeking to limit both the individual rights and the rights of the States guaranteed in the first ten amendments to the Constitution. The following acts were enumerated: 1) ordering (through DHHS) "religious institutions and businesses owned by religious families to provide their employees free contraception…;" 2) "having the military place restrictions on the religious freedom of Chaplains and other members of the military in order to favor gay rights advocates and atheists…." 3) "having the military place restrictions on the freedom of speech of members of the military and the civilian employees of the DOD…." 4) "using Executive orders and government agency actions to limit Second Amendment Rights…." 5) "having the National Security Agency intercept and monitor the private communications of millions of Americans without a court order...." 6) "joining with foreign governments in lawsuits against sovereign U.S. states to prohibit them from enforcing immigration laws…." 7) "filing suits under the Voting Rights Act against sovereign U.S. states to prevent them from enforcing Voter ID laws despite rulings by the Supreme Court upholding these laws. 8) "having the IRS propose new regulations on conservative 501(C) (4) organizations to limit their freedom of speech and political activities during election cycles…." 9) "having the FCC prepare new rules on internet neutrality in violation of the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court striking down such regulations;" 10) "having the FCC institute a plan to place agents in newsrooms of radio and television stations as well as print media to monitor whether they are providing the `proper' news content to the public…;" 11) "having the Secretary of State sign the U.N. Small Arms Treaty despite the opposition of a majority of the U.S. Senate and with full awareness that the implementation of the treaty would violate the Second Amendment rights of American citizens."
Part 3 under Article 2 states that Obama has failed to use the U.S. military "in a manner that best serves the national security of the United States and protect our soldiers from unnecessary risks and harm." These acts were enumerated as follows: 1) using `political correctness' to impose "unnecessary and dangerous rules of engagement on our troops in combat causing them to lose offensive and defensive capabilities and putting them in danger…;" 2) "releasing the identity of American military personnel and units engaged in dangerous and secret operations such as the killing of Osama bin Laden by Navy Seal team 6;" 3) ordering "the American military into action in Libya" without Congressional approval; 4) "having the Attorney General tell Secretaries of State that they do not have to comply with the Federal law requiring states to timely send absentee ballots to military personnel."
I do believe that Barack Obama should be brought before Congress to answer questions about most of the acts enumerated above. I believe that he has committed the same acts that Nixon resigned for and/or Clinton was impeached for. I believe that we have an elected President who has gone beyond the boundaries of his office and is now acting more like a dictator. I believe that he has gotten away with what he has because of the color of his skin. No one wants to be called racist – so no one stands up to him. I feel sad that our first African-American president has done such a terrible job because I can name several African Americans who could be very good in the job! I believe that Congress must bring Obama under control or lose every bit of congressional power. The Founders established our government with three branches or heads for a reason, and that reason was to maintain order and freedom for all citizens. We have an out-of-control President who is systematically destroying our government! He must be stopped before he accomplishes his goals. Of course, we have to have a Senate that would convict him before it would do any good to impeach him! Our task should be to elect new Senators and Representatives who will represent the people of their states and not toe the party line. We must elect more conservative and law-abiding representatives!

It's a comfort, shaping meatballs. Only my fingertips touch, shape, nudge, they are so delicate. Unlike the muscle and torque involved in kneading bread, the pressure here has to be slight. The way you might hold an infant's foot.
Yes, I know. I'm talking about raw meat. But I love making these meatballs in part because I use a recipe from a friend I've lost touch with, and they remind me of the dinners he cooked for us–at once so scrupulous and so lax. Jonathan was exact about ingredients, cooking temps and times, the composition of courses. And relaxed about the way the evening stretched late into the night, about lipstick marks on wine glasses–from previous drinkers–about the terrifying mess in the kitchen.
We had a delicious rivalry. He would cook us a multi-course meal with wines to match, and we'd follow up the next weekend at our apartment, just up the hill from his, on Euclid Ave. in Berkeley. It went on, as we attempted amicably to one-up each other.
The meatballs were one of the best meals. Here is his basic recipe, as I remember it, which came from his Nonna, his Italian grandmother.
Combine all ingredients, and shape gently into meatballs, either large or small. Cook over moderate heat in an oiled or buttered pan, turning occasionally, until done. Serve immediately.

The Diels-Alder reaction is widely used in organic synthesis, since it allows using a variety of dienes and dienophiles to obatin six-membered cycles in one step. Azo compounds, especially with electron deficient substituents, such as the 1,3,5-triazine ring, can interact as active dienophiles in the Diels-Alder reactions. Reactions involving azo-bis-cyanuric chloride are of great interest, as 4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine is an easily functionalized fragment that can be used as a connecting link for combining of different fragments in one molecule and modifying the properties of the compounds.
The inverse electron demand (IED) Diels-Alder reaction of azo-bis-cyanuric chloride has been described by us in its interaction with styrene, while one of its regioizomers has been isolated. However, the careful DFT analysis of the reaction coordinates showed that this reaction always proceeds with intermediate formation of the product of a normal DA reaction. So in fact, azo-bis-cyanuric chloride here plays a role of the formal diene - at first it reacts like dienophile, and then thermodynamically unstable product through [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement is converted to the corresponding IED isomer. In this work, we investigated the reaction of azo-bis-cyanuric chloride with unsaturated compounds that do not contain a conjugated bond system (vinyl-ethyl ether and vinyl acetate) and cannot act as a diene itself, and it is shown that it can act as a "true" diene in IED Diels-Alder reaction.
-35 °C, while its reaction with vinyl acetate requires heating to 100 °C for several hours, which is due to its lower nucleophilicity. In reactions with both substances, only one of the IED Diels-Alder reaction regioisomers was isolated. In order to determine the products structure and the reasons for such regioselectivity, DFT modeling was used to calculate the thermodynamic parameters of possible reaction paths on M06-2X/6-31G(d,p) level as well as spectral parameters of products. It was found that both reactions proceeds with the formation of a kinetically and thermodynamically advantageous product, but in the case of a vinyl-ethyl ether, the selectivity of the reaction is controlled by charge distribution (attack of the azo bond in the vinyl β-position), but in the case of vinyl acetate, another regioisomer is formed (azo bond attack in the vinyl α-position) due to a more complete overlapping and correspondingly strong secondary interaction between the π-orbitals of the reagents in the transition state. The obtained 1H-NMR spectra are in good agreement with the DFT simulated spectra and thermodynamic data.
The structure of the products was confirmed by 1H-NMR, IR, UV spectroscopy and elemental analysis.

More Vax Admissions, More Reasons Not to Trust Anything They Say
Click here to view original web page at thelibertyloft.com
WASHINGTON — On Thursday, lawyer Aaron Siri posted a recent response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request he made to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
The request: "Documents reflecting any documented case of an individual who: (1) never received a COVID-19 vaccine; (2) was infected with COVID-19 once, recovered, and then later became infected again; and (3) transmitted SARS-CoV-2 to another person when reinfected."
The response from Roger Andoh, the CDC's FOIA officer: "A search of our records failed to reveal any documents pertaining to your request. The CDC Emergency Operations Center (EOC) conveyed that this information is not collected."
As Siri notes, this result is an admission that the CDC has not a single recorded case of someone with natural immunity spreading COVID-19, yet the demands remain that everybody submit to the jabs. He goes on to write that every peer-reviewed study shows greater immunity for those who have naturally contracted the virus and that immunity doesn't wane over time, unlike the CDC and its bureaucratic and Big Pharma cohorts admissions that the shots do wane drastically over time which is why we're seeing the signs of boosters ad infinitum.
"You would assume that if the CDC was going to crush the civil and individual rights of those with natural immunity by having them expelled from school, fired from their jobs, separated from the military, and worse, the CDC would have proof of at least one instance of an unvaccinated, naturally immune individual transmitting the COVID-19 virus to another individual. If you thought this, you would be wrong," Siri writes.
Congressman Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) has been trying to get the CDC to commit to this thing called honesty to no avail. In February, journalist Sharyl Attkisson reported on recorded phone calls Massie had with CDC officials about its documents claiming efficacy of the shots for those with natural immunity.
In the calls, Massies calls it an "absolutely untrue sentence" to says the jabs are "efficacious for people with prior infections," which the CDC officials all admit is true and told Massie to just trust their "word" that they […]


FRIDAY, June 29, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- Add another health harm to air pollution: New research suggests it might increase the risk of diabetes, even at levels considered safe.
"Our research shows a significant link between air pollution and diabetes globally," said study senior author Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly. He's an assistant professor of medicine at Washington University in St. Louis.
"We found an increased risk, even at low levels of air pollution currently considered safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the World Health Organization," Al Aly said in a university news release.
It's believed that air pollution reduces insulin production and triggers inflammation, preventing the body from converting blood sugar into energy that the body needs to maintain health, the study authors explained.
The study was published June 29 in The Lancet Planetary Health.

When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity.

Marriage is the lightning rod that absorbs anxiety and stress from all other sources, past and present. When marriage has a firm foundation of solid friendship and mutual respect, it can tolerate a fair amount of raw emotion. A good fight can clear the air, and it's nice to know we can survive conflict and even learn from it. Many couples, however, get trapped in endless rounds of fighting and blaming that they don't know how to get out of. When fights go unchecked and unrepaired, they can eventually erode love and respect, which are the bedrock of any successful relationship.

Catty Christs in Kolkata
Since I haven't posted here in a while, I have a backlog of links to share. For starters, here's a Caravan essay by Chitralekha Basu on how English turns Bengali in Kolkata. The passage I'm quoting here provides some some examples of Hobson-Jobsonism from the 19th century Bengali satire Hutom Pyanchar Naksha:
Plenty of instances of tweaking and twisting English may be found in Hootum Pyanchar Naksha, a series of vignettes published in the form of stand-alone chapbooks over 1861 and 1862, which lampooned the social mores of nineteenth-century Kolkata. In this first work of modern Bengali prose, written by Kaliprasanna Sinha under the pen name "Hootum"—screech owl, in Bengali—"subpoena" is tenderised to "sawfen," and "phaeton" is recast as "pheting," almost as if to resonate with the sound of its juddering journey down Kolkata's potholed roads (which haven't changed all that much in a century and a half). The last consonant of "warrant" is dropped to turn it into "warrin," almost as a throwback to David Copperfield. Chemistry is fondly shortened to "chemia."
In his sketches on Kolkata's social life, Sinha reinvented "catechist" as "Catty-Christ." "Jackson" was rendered "Jakh Sen," which could pass as a Bengali name. "Tartar emetic" was compressed to "Tartametic"—suggesting that this vomit-inducing medicine, often administered to patients suffering from the deadly kala-azar, was both quick and efficient—and the words "grand jury" were transliterated to something sounding very close to "grandeur."
Basu has previously translated Kaliprasanna Sinha's work into English under the title Sketches by Hootum the Owl: A Satirist's View of Colonial Calcutta. The foreword is by the novelist Amit Chaudhuri, whose observations on Sinha's racy chalit style ('all imagery and language, in a way that at once looks forward to the world of modernism, especially to the great novels about cities—Ulysses comes to mind—which increasingly abandon the notions of character, description, and subject-matter, and become predominantly an efflorescence of language') can be found here.

SEW-Eurodrive is a German manufacturing company founded by Christian Pähr in 1931 as Süddeutsche Elektromotoren Werke. Today, it is an international organization that manufactures geared motors, frequency inverters and servo drives employing over 15,000 people worldwide with annual sales in excess of €2.4 billion.
Based in Bruchsal in Southern Germany they have manufacturing assembly and service centres throughout the world. SEW Are leaders in decentralised control technology, with products such as Movimot, Movigear, Moviswitch, and Movitrans. In addition they have moved into the large industrial gearbox market with their range of helical, bevel helical, and planetary gearboxes.
A further development sees their 30-year-old DT/DV range of motors being replaced by the new DR range of motors which are designed with future efficiency standards in mind. The new DR range complies in full with EuP Lot 11 which will be the new compulsory European efficiency standard to replace the existing voluntary agreement in 2011.
SEW-Eurodrive made its mark in the industry by making the motor and gearbox integral or monolithic. By bypassing the constraints of what is considered mutually exclusive, total optimization is possible, thus allowing far higher service lives when compared to "industry standards".
1931 - Christian Pähr founds the "Süddeutsche Elektromotoren Werke"
1987/89 - Brothers, Jürgen and Rainer Blickle are appointed as managing directors of the SEW-EURODRIVE Group.


When I'm driving somewhere with My Beloved, when (not if) she corrects my navigation, I recall the junior high geometry class phrase "describing the sides of a rectangle." The distance and time are roughly the same: My over then down, or her under then up, and there you are, thptpth.
This is the feeling I had when rereading "Denver Post, Bay Area News Group Revamp Story Editing with Fewer Copy Editors" by Steve Myers from Poynter's Latest News blog, including the thptpth raspberry.
Yet, the first time I went through the May 23, 2012, piece I grew as angry as those critical of this, such as John E. McIntyre's Baltimore Sun column, "The Empty Copy Desk." They're upset that Editor Greg Moore in Denver and Editor Dave Butler of Bay Area News Group are gutting their publications' copy desks, continuing a trend seen elsewhere in the nation. They're either keeping some copy editors but decentralizing them or losing all of them, giving that task to colleagues, where reporters edit one-another's work as time permits.
Me, too, until the vague familiarity crystallized.
First, why more — or fewer — editors: Periodical writers do their thing and their supervisors edit those pieces. But for a good century-and-a-half, that didn't take care of correcting the texts as perfectly as humanly possible. More eyes are needed. The copy desk comprises two-to-four more editings where flaws in form and content are discovered and fixed. Also, you see copy editors in ad agencies, magazines and book publishers. Online-only publications have copy editors. Big nonprofits and corporations employ copy editors in their public relations division. In the latter groups, these professionals may be free-lancers or the copy-editing may be part of another job title.
But if you're a 21st-century newspaper manager and have to choose between laying off a content generator (a reporter) and a content inspector, then you might take your chances and reduce the secondary, to retain the primary. You tell the reporters' supervisors to be extra careful and. yes. read each other's work. Another option seen in newspaper chains is to have a central copy desk in a hub with sister publications sending their stories in.
Inevitably, typos and factual errors increase. And, yes, errors did sneak past all the layers of editors in traditional systems. And they did in your grandparents' day, too, don't let anyone tell you differently — check the microfilm or microfiche archive at any library.
The goal for both, the article says, is that even though more mistakes will be missed, is "publishing stories during the day when people are online" rather than posting to the web overnight while paper editions are printed and distributed.
On the second reading, "during the day" hit me. I had written something parallel as a memo to someone who since has left the company.
That person did confirm he received it and would study it. Now it's probably buried in the former executive's shuttered email queue.
I am claiming it back.
Here is the memo. I have elided anything that might be too revealing, for the sake of this person's privacy and for me to not risk all of my remaining job security.
Saving money in the newsroom.
Transition to a modern, more efficient newsroom.
Our newspaper has essentially a daily cycle. While each [of its two zones] has two print editions, they run about an hour apart, around midnight. [Our two websites], outside of a few "breaking news" posts, key from the print editions out at midnight and post before dawn.
It's not just the Internet that has changed most-everything in most ways, but that the audience for journalism has discovered the enjoyment and convenience of checking the news several times a day.
Multiple times daily, contemporary news junkies (our most desirable readers) check news sites directly but more often click on links to news in social media, links posted by news junkies who checked online publications moments earlier. The readers are using smartphones, e-tablets and even their work computers.
I understand that the success of ads comes from multiple views: The more times I see the shoe store ad the more likely I'll check it out. However, print and online ads seem to be set up with the presumption they're viewed once a day. But what if we got our key readers to check our website(s) multiple times a day? More views (not necessarily more "unique visitors") should equal more results.
They're all newspapers. Calling nytimes.com an online newspaper makes no more and no less sense than calling time.com an online magazine. Both update several times a day. Both continue to have weekly features — sections, columnists etc. The Internet community has no common, catchy name for these: The awkward but correct "Online Publication" and "News Aggregator" serve until a catchphrase takes. My take: They're all newspapers. The function that washingtonpost.com, newsweek.com and thedailybeast.com all fulfill is most similar to the print-on-paper daily. Jets are still called planes, and plane parts use railroad terminology, which in turn came from ship jargon.
Rather than the current dominant print cycle with a mirror online cycle, the news staff ought to think of itself as the modern-day version of an all-day metro paper, with multiple editions. In 2012, that means the earlier editions are online and the latter are print. Online and print editions would have a nearly equal footing. Print of course would continue to define the "final" edition.
The papers still would run continuing features on schedules. Reporters and photographers, though, would file on the earliest practical deadline. Articles would be edited by the writers' supervisors and an all-day news copy desk, then posted on the next website cycle. Reporters could submit updates or a final version later in their shifts.
The online editions' pay wall would not be of concern. The local midday news links on my Facebook account are from TV stations, and their pieces are no longer than the synopses that our websites provide before asking for the subscriber log-in.
This means all routine stories, not just strong spot news, are posted during the day. The reason is the "long tail" theory: With readers/subscribers in six digits, hundreds or thousands will be interested in even minor pieces.
Facebook and Twitter, iPhone and Android, may well be superseded in a few years by other formats, technologies or companies. The all-day multiple web/print editions can accommodate that evolution.
To answer the question you posed, [name], inefficiencies will surface shortly after implementing this strategy.
This is a concept, not so much a concrete change, but a way of viewing output. We state (to ourselves) that online editions lie on a continuum with print. The production of news content continues as in future years the demand for print distribution decreases and forms of electronic transmission increase.
Staff can be reallocated, retrained as needed, as the shift occurs. The need for proprietary, semi-customized software [word processing and desktop publishing] — and paying to update it — will decrease.
Oh, it's what came to me.
Sure my memo could be bass-ackwards as we used to say in Fort Smith, but now it's posted in Brick so it won't be totally a waste.
The similarity of old all-day metros and online access has a rectangle aspect, this way that way that way this way. Major media movie reviews are printed on Fridays but posted on Thursday — bulldog! The fun parts of the Sunday New York Times are available on Saturday — bulldog! It's already started and accepted.
I agree with your general assessment. Papers are clinging to an "outdated" model and maybe that even older model is what is needed. We need local news badly.


Member benefits – besides a conference and two journals, what was AASP offering of value to the regular member?
With those issues in mind, HollandParlette has worked both strategically and tactically with leadership to develop new programs, initiatives and structure aimed at improving AASP's viability and function as an organization. The results shared below – including significant increases in membership, conference attendance and program revenue – demonstrate that AASP has made considerable strides with HollandParlette's guidance.
AASP has been able to benefit from the wealth of professional expertise and association experience that HollandParlette brings to the partnership. HollandParlette has been able to regularly cite examples of "best association practices" as well as ideas for programs, services, structure and strategy as a direct result of knowing what has worked (and what has not) for other groups we have managed. AASP also benefits from the ability to tap into an expansive network of resources built over HollandParlette's 30 years in business to comfortably flex and expand to meet the ever-changing needs of the organization.
AASP enjoys the advantages of having HollandParlette continually upgrade our infrastructure at no additional cost to the association. This includes using the latest computer equipment and applications aimed at maximizing productivity, a multi-tiered backup system for all electronic files and important databases being housed in the "cloud" and accessible to staff and for real-time web use 24/7.
The best measure of our success in executing the contract, however, are the statistical increases in major program areas, such as membership, annual conference and a significant growth in AASP's overall operating revenue.
Annual Meeting attendance records were set in three consecutive years: 901 in 2012 (Atlanta), 930 in 2013 (New Orleans) and 2014 (Las Vegas) 1,150 attendees in 2014. Meeting attendance has exceeded 1,000 over the past three years.
Helped to grow AASP's overall program budget by 53% but still produce over $185,000 in overall profit. AASP was able to strategically reinvest these reserved into important projects in 2016 (i.e. certification).
HollandParlette has also played an integral role in the restructure or introduction of a number of fundamental communications and educational mechanisms.
Journal Contract Renewals – negotiated a 5% increase in royalty back to AASP within 5 year contract.
A 1,200 member national association devoted to advancing the education and treatment of pediatric patients with skin, hair and nail disorders.
HollandParlette took over management of the SPD in 2006 after their leadership concluded that the society could not continue to develop and mature while being managed by a single administrator out of her home. Since that time, HollandParlette has helped to increase the overall membership of SPD by 140%, increased attendance at the group's two annual educational meetings by 40% and increased fundraising dollars secured by 30% by designing and implementing a coordinated annual Industry Partnership campaign.
HollandParlette recommended and oversaw a revamp of the SPD's organizational structure in 2013, designed to provide more accountability for projects and initiatives and allow increased volunteer involvement by members. We also have worked with SPD leadership to design dynamic and achievable Strategic Plans that allow for continued growth.
During HollandParlette's time as association managers, the SPD has added over $550,000 to their financial reserves and the group's annual budget has almost doubled from $580,000 to $1.14 million.
HollandParlette served as congress organizer for the 13th World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology (hosted by the SPD), which drew 1,500 attendees in Chicago in Summer 2017.

Sierra View - Musical Entertainment For The Masses
A variety of artists will be hitting the stage at J-H Ranch in Oakdale for the sixth annual Sierra View Music Festival as local resident and business owner, Jim Brunk, brings big name bands and sounds to this small town on Saturday, Aug. 23. Gates open at 1 p.m. and the music will start at 1:30 p.m.
The lineup includes: Thin Black Line, LuvPlanet, The High Voltage Band, Remedy, MoonAlice, April Wine, John Waite, and the Marshall Tucker Band.
"There are a lot of musicians that are really excited to come play here," said Brunk.
The event has been held for the past six years in honor of Brunk's late wife, Heidi Brunk. As stated on the Sierra Music Fest website, she lived in Oakdale as a "wife, mother, daughter, music teacher and friend to hundreds."
Heidi Brunk lost her life in a tragic accident in 2008, but her love of music and passion for teaching lives on in the Heidi Brunk Foundation.
The foundation is a 501(c) 3 organization that raises funds through donations and ticket sales to offer students an opportunity for a music scholarship.
Scholarship recipients since the beginning of the festival in 2009 include Michael Alstead; in 2010 James Cwick, Baylie Jimenez, Todd Medema, Meghann Jones; in 2011 Amber Vanderford, Rachel One, Kelly Brodi, Emily Wallace, Julie Bolme; in 2012 Stephanie Faircloth, Andrew Markel, Amy Bolme, Courtney Burroughs, Theresa Ramirez; and in 2013, Richard Gonzalez.
Brunk plans the concert in August in remembrance of his wife due to her passing in that month. There are also several concerts, fairs, and other events going on in August which makes it challenging, Brunk explained.
"Several people have asked why I continue the festival since it is a lot of work," Brunk admitted. "Well, because that is the way I can keep her close to my heart.
"It's part of my whole existence now."
As an Oakdale High School alumni and former OHS football player, Brunk would like the support of the community for the annual event to provide scholarships for the kids in the local area as well.
"We want people to come because it's a good time and a great fundraiser," he said.
The ticket price is $40 per ticket; however, he has discounted the price to $30 for teachers and students and will make tickets available at the high school.
The event is located at Brunk's 50-acre ranch that will have a stage set up for the artists, beverages, craft vendors and approximately 10 to 12 food vendors. The ranch is large enough to welcome approximately 2500 to 3000 people.
"We aren't trying to make it a commercial event," stated Brunk. "That is what is different, is that when the performers come to Oakdale they are not getting hounded and it is a little more relaxing."
New to the venue this year will be shade awnings in the general admission area just in case it is a hot summer day in August to make guests more comfortable.
The Sierra View Music Festival is slated to run from 1:30 p.m. until 11:30 p.m., entertaining crowds for a full day with American Southern rock, country rock, adult contemporary, and some classic rock.
"It is about bringing culture to this town and have a good time and give back to the kids and that's what it has always been about," stated Brunk.

The ICAI vide announcement dated 26th September, 2018 has introduced the concept of UDIN. Initially it was applicable mandatory w.e.f. 1st January, 2019 which was later postponed to be applicable w.e.f. 1st February, 2019 in phased manner.
ICAI has issued an announcement dated 14th March, 2019 wherein the applicability of UDIN is clarified. Accordingly, the UDIN is made mandatory to generated and used by members in practice, in following phases.
The Members are now concerned about the applicability of UDIN for Statutory Bank Branch Audits for the financial year 2018-2019 that are set to be conducted in the first half of April, 2019. I have discussed the applicability of UDIN in the process of Statutory Bank Branch Audit in the ongoing paragraphs.
In the first phase, the ICAI had made it mandatory to generate and mention UDIN on all certifications done by Practicing Chartered Accountants. However, it had specifically excluded the audit and attest functions from the first phase that was mandatory with effect from 1st February, 2019.
There are various certificates that are issued during the course of statutory audit of banks. Accordingly, for any certificate issued by the statutory auditors during the course of statutory audit of banks, UDIN has to be mandatorily generated and used.
In case of multiple certificates to be signed in course of statutory audit of banks, no need to generate multiple UDINs for the same. One blanket UDIN can be generated for multiple certificates generated and signed on one day for a given branch.
In the second phase, the UDIN is applicable to all GST and Tax Audit Reports with effect from 1st April, 2019.
The statutory auditors of banks are also required to conduct and sign the tax audit of the bank also. Accordingly, the auditors have to generate and use UDIN on the tax audit reports signed on or after 1st April, 2019. There is no need to generate separate UDINs for Form 3CA, 3CD and related annexures and certificates coming under the purview of Tax Audit. Again, a blanket UDIN can be generated for all of these.
However, care has to be taken that the UDIN generated for certificates and that for tax audit should be different as these are different attest functions. Again, care has to be taken that separate UDIN has to be generated for tax audit of each branch.
For all other attest functions, UDIN is mandatory with effect from 1st July, 2019. These include audits under other statutes.
During the statutory audit of bank branches, the auditors also have to issue statutory audit report. As the statutory audit report comes under other attest functions, there is no need to generate and use UDIN for statutory audit reports of bank branches for the financial year 2018-2019 completed and signed before 1st July, 2019. However, it shall be applicable for the financial year 2019-2020, i.e. next year.
Few banks, like State Bank of India, require various reports and certificates to be issued in digital form and signed digitally. In such cases, wherever possible the UDIN should be mentioned on the certificate before signing it digitally. However, wherever it is not possible to mention UDIN on digitally signed certificates and audit reports, the UDIN shall be generate and preserved to be intimated on request to the authorities as and when required.
The requirement of UDIN during the statutory bank branch audit is briefed below.
Following care should be taken by the auditors while generating UDIN in the course of Statutory Bank Branch Audit.
UDIN has to be generated separately for each branch.
UDIN has to be generated separately for each type of assignment per branch, e.g. tax audit, certification, etc.
If certificates for one branch are issued and signed on different dates, separate UDIN is to be generated on daily basis.
In case of certificates issued and signed in a digital form, where there is no provision to mention UDIN, UDIN has to be generated and preserved to be intimated if required in future.
There is no need to upload any certificate for generating UDIN.

H57 Floor Lamp Glass
Jordan Mozer (b. 1958), H57 Torchiere/ Floor Lamp; Cast Bronze, Blown Glass, Made in Chicago, USA, 2008. 15" in diameter and 77" tall (38cm in diameter x 195.5cm tall).
PROCESS+MATERIALS
The lamp base was hand carved in maple and cast in 95% recycled red-bronze. It was then hand polished and encouraged to patina by elixirs and flames. The trunk is composed of textured bronze tube. The glass shade was hand-blown glass and is composed of a warm white under layer layer, a warm crystal and features an irregular saturated oxblood lip wrap. A cast bronze apple-blossom finial secures the glass to lamp shaft. The wiring is suitable for commercial assembly spaces and bears a UL label. The cord is outfitted with a shirred textile "sweater".
Jordan Mozer and Associates, Limited (JMA) was commissioned to renovate a hotel on 57th street between Park Avenue and Lexington. The building was built in the 1920s as a progressive hotel for women in the arts, academia and business seeking an alternative to traditional women's boarding houses in the flapper era. The project was conceived by Mr. Blum, an upper east-side fashion designer. It was built with natural materials and featured idiosyncratic hand- made details, such as wrought iron and hand made bricks. Mozer's renovation celebrated the vertical lines of flapper fashion and the spirit of the original building.
Mozer's studio designed and hand-made studio lighting and furnishings for the project.

On September 24, 2017, President Trump issued a presidential proclamation, titled Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats, which essentially "repeals and replaces" his original travel ban.
The new policy establishes a new travel ban with visa restrictions on Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen. Restrictions vary between countries; the U.S. Department of State (DOS) has provided information and a chart on the various levels of travel restrictions for nationals of the eight countries.
s a result, the Supreme Court has taken the two travel ban cases, Trump v. International Refugee Assistance Project and Trump v. Hawaii, off its oral argument calendar.
While the initial executive orders had applied only to majority-Muslim countries, the new order also includes North Korea, Venezuela and Chad, bringing the number of countries under the ban to eight. The other six are Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Somalia.
What are the country-specific restrictions?
Nationals of Iraq who seek to enter the United States may be subject to additional security to determine if they pose risks to national or public security. The administration has found that Iraq does not meet the baseline criteria, but has exempted the country from the travel ban because of the close cooperative relationship between the two countries, the strong United States diplomatic presence in Iraq, the significant presence of United States forces in Iraq, and Iraq's commitment to combating the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

SeaMonkey (englisch für den Salinenkrebs) ist ein aus der Mozilla Application Suite hervorgegangenes freies Internet-Anwendungspaket, das aus Webbrowser, E-Mail-Programm, Chat-Client, HTML-Editor, Adressbuch und weiteren Hilfsprogrammen besteht.

Die Module des Programm-Pakets benutzen wesentliche Programmteile gemeinsam. Dadurch wird weniger Speicherplatz belegt und ein Geschwindigkeitsvorteil erzielt. Im Gegensatz dazu bringt bei Mozillas populären Ablegern Firefox und Thunderbird jedes Programm seine eigenen Bibliotheken mit. Diese sind dann mehrfach im Speicher vorhanden.

Überblick
Als die Mozilla Foundation gegen Ende 2005 ankündigte, die Entwicklung ihrer Mozilla Application Suite und deren Unterstützung offiziell einzustellen, um sich künftig vor allem der Entwicklung ihres Webbrowsers Firefox und des E-Mail-Clients Thunderbird zu widmen, führte eine Gruppe Softwareentwickler die Mozilla Application Suite unter neuem Namen fort.

Als offiziellen Namen erhielt ihr Projekt schließlich den ehemaligen Codenamen des Vorgängerprojekts, der ursprünglich vom Markennamen der fast gleichnamigen US-amerikanischen Salinenkrebs-Zuchtlinie Sea-Monkey (Artemia nyos) stammt. Am 30. Januar 2006 wurde die erste offizielle Version, 1.0, veröffentlicht.

SeaMonkey 1.x bot durch seine Roaming-Funktion die Möglichkeit, Kennwörter, Lesezeichen, Cookies und andere Benutzerdaten auf einem zentralen Server zu speichern, um sie von verschiedenen Orten aus zu nutzen. Diese Funktion fiel mit SeaMonkey 2.0 weg und wurde durch die Erweiterung Firefox Sync ersetzt. Sync wurde ab SeaMonkey 2.1 direkt integriert. Die parallele Nutzung von Firefox Sync durch SeaMonkey ist seit der mit Firefox 29 eingeführten neuen Sync-Variante nicht mehr möglich.

SeaMonkey als Produkt wird zwar parallel zu Firefox und Thunderbird entwickelt, teilt sich im Hintergrund jedoch den meisten Code mit diesen unter Bewahrung des eigenen Look and Feel. Auch die Entwicklungszyklen sind größtenteils mit den beiden offiziellen Produkten synchronisiert.

Manche Erweiterungen für Firefox und Thunderbird sind nicht kompatibel mit SeaMonkey, können aber konvertiert werden.

Versionen

SeaMonkey ist auch als portable Version mit der Bezeichnung "SeaMonkey, Portable Edition" erhältlich.

Nach einem Namensstreit mit dem Debian-Projekt über die Nutzungsbedingungen für die Warenzeichen von Mozilla bekam das mit Debian mitgelieferte SeaMonkey-Paket den Namen Iceape. Andere Mozilla-Programme erhielten ebenfalls neue Namen, die alle mit Ice beginnen.

Versionsgeschichte
Das Projekt SeaMonkey wurde ins Leben gerufen, nachdem Mozilla verkündet hatte, die Entwicklung der Mozilla Application Suite nicht mehr fortzuführen, deren letzte Version, die Mozilla Application Suite 1.7.13, am 19. April 2006 erschien.
