Juliet, Shepard Land on Bon Appetit's Best New Restaurants List
Portland, Maine's Drifters Wife and Oberlin in Providence round out the New England contingent.

The Bon Appétit edit team has spent a fair amount of time in the Boston area this year, and today, a couple spots have a coveted distinction to show for it. Somerville café Juliet and Cambridge's Shepard are singled out among the nation's Best New Restaurants on the magazine's annual list, curated by deputy editor (and restaurants go-to) Andrew Knowlton and senior editor Julie Kramer.
Elsewhere in New England, the BonApp team recommends Drifters Wife, which "nails that date-night wine-bar vibe that city dwellers know so well… [but] on the coast of Maine, taking in that salty ocean air," and Oberlin, a Providence gem for seafood and pasta, which "checks every one of our 'foods we want to eat right now' boxes."
Juliet, which opened in February, is the first permanent venture of former pop-up darlings Bread & Salt Hospitality, aka chef Josh Lewin and partner Katrina Jazayeri. The airy space offers quick-service breakfast and lunch, as well as prix-fixe dining at a comfortable chef's counter. "Juliet is what you make of it," the editors write. "One thing is guaranteed: This will be energetic, personal cooking that's truly one of a kind."
My little restaurant just landed on @bonappetit 50 best in the country. I don't really know what to say about that yet so just this for now.
— jlewin (@jlewin) August 2, 2016
At Shepard, Knowlton and Kramer found "the smartest restaurant in Cambridge." James Beard Award-winning chef Susan Regis (UpStairs on the Square) and Rene Becker (Hi-Rise Bread Company) debuted the elementally appealing restaurant late in 2015, earning Regis another JBA nomination in the process. (Not to mention a 4-star Boston magazine review, as well as a national Best New Restaurant nod from Eater.) BonApp notes chef de cuisine Peter McKenzie's adeptness with open flame cooking, as well as a mastery of flavors and non-traditional ingredients disguised as comforting home-cooking. "You'll feel like you've been invited to a dinner party of Harvard professors, albeit one where the host casually brings out greens with fermented black beans."
Later this month, the 50 Best New Restaurant contenders will be whittled down to the "Hot 10." Check out the full list of finalists on bonappetit.com.

15 New Full-Service Boston Restaurants We Loved in 2022
13 New Boston Bars We Loved in 2022


BUYSSCHEURE, France -- It is early afternoon on a spring day in 1944. On a French farm 20 miles from the English Channel, two young brothers tend the cows - perhaps they goof off a bit - as their father brews beer. Then a plane falls from the sky. A P-47 Thunderbolt, an American fighter plane, has been hit by German fire. On the ground, the boys watch as the last moments of a desperate American pilot unfold.
"When the plane fell, there were still bullets exploding" from the plane's .50-caliber machines guns, recalls Marc Cooche. He was 12 then; at 86, he's still haunted by memories of that afternoon.
In Cooche's recollection, the plane veered to avoid some electric cables, maneuvering in the air for two or three minutes before plummeting nose first. The crash left a deep crater in a field of beets. Flames fed by the plane's fuel licked the sky, and the hole burned for days.
The boys and their father wanted to rescue the pilot. Cooche's father "came with horses and barrels of water to put out the fire," he says, but Germans had arrived at the site and turned him away.
In a world war, the loss of a single plane and its 22-year-old pilot, Lt. Frank Fazekas, in rural France drew scant attention. Over time, the pit in the field was filled with debris. Dirt blanketed the makeshift grave, so the farmers could plant again.
But he never forgot about the pilot and his plane. He's not the only one.
"He was the love of my mother's life"
Frank Fazekas Jr. was just six months old at the time, living with his mother in a tight-knit Hungarian community in Trenton, New Jersey.
Fazekas Jr. would pore over letters written between his mother and father, focusing on his father's signature. "I would practice signing my name like he did," he says.
Because his dad flew, he loved airplanes. He got a degree in aeronautical engineering and became an Air Force pilot, serving in the Vietnam War. He later worked with Department of Defense contractors and now, at 74, he's in his third career as a tour business owner in New Hartford, New York.
"For a lot of years I felt like I was trying to complete something for him ... the whole aviation thing, the flying, it was all cut short, I mean so abruptly at age 22."
The family knew little about Fazekas Sr.'s death, other than sparse account of his the wingman, Lt. Charles H. Nott, which differs in some aspects than Cooche's recollection: Nott reported the plane spun out of control, with no radio call for help.
His mother, Theresa, never got over the death of her husband. She was his "darling," ''sweetheart" and "dearest wife" in his letters home. "He was the love of my mother's life. She talked about him constantly, even after she remarried," Fazekas said.
They knew where his father's plane had crashed. And they knew that his remains were still there.
The effort to find Fazekas Sr. began in 2014, when University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers succeeded in returning the remains of another soldier to his family. That inspired them to reach out to Department of Defense officials the next year to propose a partnership to find the missing. It would become the university's Missing in Action Recovery and Identification Project.
"We were frantic, we were very frantic because we put a lot of time into this case," said Charles Konsitzke, facilitator of the project.
A few days later Department of Defense officials searching the archives found aerial images of the area taken two days after the crash that helped point them to the exact location.
Searchers went twice to the site, in 2016 and 2017, digging a 10- to 15-foot deep hole in the hard clay.
They found six machine guns. They found the plane's engine. And they found some bones of Frank Fazekas Sr., and his dog tags.
They had a special visitor during the 2016 dig. They gave Frank Fazekas Jr. a pair of gloves to help out. As the hours passed, he found pieces of his father's plane. He kept some items, including a black rubber piece that may have come off the control stick.
"I thought that might be something my father actually held on to," he says.
He also met the man who was present for his father's last moments: Marc Cooche, who still lived 300 yards from the crash site.
"It was like family, almost," Fazekas says.
On May 8 - the 73rd anniversary of the end of the war in Europe - Buysscheure will pay tribute to the airman. The building that houses a library, performance room and school will be renamed the Frank Fazekas Cultural Center, and a plaque with his name will be added to the monument to local war dead.
Fazekas, his wife and some university officials plan to return for the festivities. Cooche also will be there.
Frank Fazekas Sr., though, will be an ocean away. He will be buried Wednesday at Arlington National Cemetery.
An Army uniform will be laid out on his bones. And he will share his casket with the ashes of Theresa, his "dearest wife."

Gavin DeGraw In The Studio News
Gavin DeGraw Finished Writing, About To Record Next Album
January 26, 2020 April 11, 2020 Hidden Jams	0 Comments	Alone, Americana, Anti-Pop, Bob Seger, Country, Gavin DeGraw, Gospel, Interview, John Mellencamp, New Album, New Songs, Recording, Something Worth Saving, Tom Petty, Writing	2 min read
Two nights ago, Gavin DeGraw attended and performed at the annual MusiCares Person of the Year gala, this year honoring Aerosmith. In addition to performing a cover of "What It Takes," Gavin also talked about his own forthcoming music. He's been working on a new album for the last few years, and we know it will sound more country and less pop than his other records. Although he'd anticipated releasing it around early 2020, Gavin gave an update to one of the interviewers. He's finished writing for the new album, and plans to begin recording imminently.
As Gavin explained:
I'm just about now done with all the writing, so it's time to start getting in the studio and hammering that down. So I'm very, very excited about it.
Given that he's about to start recording, and indeed plans to record for most of this year, we expect Gavin's new album won't be ready until the end of 2020. With any luck, we'll have it by this fall.
Watch the full interview below. Gavin discusses his new album at about 0:53.
Gavin's Upcoming Album
Gavin's last album, Something Worth Saving, came out in September 2016. It launched the singles "She Sets The City On Fire" and "Making Love With The Radio On," plus a live music video for the title track in September 2017.
It was around that time – in September 2017 – when Gavin's mother passed away after a battle with cancer. In November that year, Gavin spoke about the "gospel" sounding songs he was writing in the aftermath of his mother's passing. At the time, he wasn't sure if he'd be able to finish any of those songs or if they'd appear on his next album. We predict that at least some of the songs on his next record will touch on this tragic subject.

We now know his songs will be somewhat "anti-pop," instead leaning into the country and country-rock genres, similar to music by Tom Petty and Bob Seger. It's encouraging to know that Gavin is writing the songs alone, and we're excited that we may have the album by the end of 2020!

The calendar has turned to May and with it came an announcement from Full Flush Poker of a gigantic reload bonus and increased tourney guaranteed prize pools.
The flagship skin on the Equity Poker Network (EPN), Full Flush is rewarding its loyal players with a 100% up to $600 reload bonus on their first May deposit. That same bonus was available in April and table chat among players indicated that many who were busily clearing the massive bonus were hoping that Full Flush would continue offering the promotion in future months.
The powers that be at Full Flush apparently were monitoring chat at the tables and answered those player wishes by continuing with the huge reload bonus. But there is more to like about the bonus! Players are also in line to receive an extra 10% cashback instantly on all deposits over the amount of $200 that are funded via the deposit options of Money Gram, Western Union, Skrill, Neteller or EcoPayz.
That add-on bonus of 10% allows maximum bonus earnings up to $200. A second add-on VIP loyalty bonus pays another 10% instant cashback up to $200 on all deposits over $1,000. So the reload bonus has a maximum value of $1,000 when the add-on bonuses are factored in.
In other words, a deposit of $2,000 in May using any of the aforementioned deposit methods is good for $600 after the required bonus points are cleared. An amount of $400 is credited to player accounts instantly, $200 for using the preferred deposit options and $200 more as a VIP loyalty bonus for depositing over $1,000.
Tournament players will be pleased to know that another $40,000 has been added to guaranteed prize pools for the month of May. That $40k will be spread out among a number of tournaments, the first of which is the $1500 Guaranteed Nightly American. The prize pool for that players' favorite has been kicked up to $2,000 guaranteed.
Next on the docket for May is boosting the Late Night $1,000 Guaranteed that's exclusive to Full Flush players up to a $1,500 guaranteed prize pool on Friday and Saturday. That tournament kicks off at 10:00 p.m. and features only a $3.50 buy-in, attracting a number of low-stakes players.
A brand new tournament has been added to the schedule beginning in May. A $3,000 guaranteed 6-max will be hosted on EPN every Saturday at 3:00 p.m. Weekend players will also be happy to know that the $2,000 GTD Big Deepstack on Saturdays at 1:00 p.m. will have a reduced entry fee. The buy-in for that event has been slashed from $10 to only $5 and will keep the same guarantee.
As you can see, there is a lot to be excited about at Full Flush Poker this month. Since launching in November, EPN has been attracting a steady growth of players. The network is U.S.-friendly and has made quite an impact in the industry in just six months.
Players who have yet to deposit at Full Flush are entitled to a 150% up to $600 Welcome Bonus and 20% instant cashback on any deposits over $50. Take a look at our Full Flush Poker review for more information.

Team Up for some MUStang Spirit!
YLHS Staff
Mr. McCann and Mrs. Long sport their YLHS spirit wear with pride.
Emily Ito, Editor-in-Chief
Mrs. St Amant
Mrs. St Amant (Staff) and her family snap a quick selfie as they wait patiently in the audience for the school production to begin.
Since Yorba Linda High School opened ten years ago, school spirit has been one of the highlights of the Mustang experience. Students demonstrate their commitment to YL by participating in dress up days and attending school events. While everyone celebrates and acknowledges the amount of spirit that exists amongst the student body, the staff's participation and support has been often overlooked. In order to encourage and reward the staff's ongoing dedication to YLHS, the school has come out with MUStang Spirit Teams.
The MUStang Spirit Teams are a new addition to YLHS this year. This idea was implemented as a fun way of encouraging staff to really show off their school spirit. Dr. Dinh (Staff), a key contributor to the start of these spirit teams, explained the reasoning behind the emergence of this new activity. He emphasized one of Yorba Linda High School's original core values; "Get Connected." Thus, MUStang Spirit Teams were "a creative way to preserve and highlight this core value and have fun."
Staff members were divided into different groups, with one staff member leading each team. The teams are awarded points for getting more involved in student activities and finding ways to show their support for the school. Participating in different events earns varying amounts of points for one's team. For example, becoming an adviser for a school club earns 20 points for a team. Dressing up for a dress up day will earn an additional five points.
In order to calculate these points and determine which team will reign victorious for the week, Mr. Lejano and ASB have teamed up to keep a careful eye on who should win. To help ensure points are correctly awarded, the staff has been asked to take photos of themselves when they attend an event, complete an activity, or get involved in any other form. This has resulted in a slew of selfies from teachers and faculty at sports games, dressed up in crazy outfits, and more.
Dr. Dinh elaborated more on his group, The Gold Standard, describing his team as "self-motivated" and explained that they "strive for excellence." As the captain of the gold team, he firmly believes that "other teams are looking up to the bar we set."
Overall, the teams have been successful in increasing participation and increasing spirit amongst the staff. With the healthy competition that it has created and the excitement that getting involved entails, MUStang Spirit Teams have been an incredible way of kicking off the school year.

Usevolodo III Yuryevich, ou Usevolodo, o Grande Ninho ( Vsévolod Trétij Júr'jevich Bol'shojé Gnezdó) (1154–1212), foi um Grão-Príncipe de Vladimir, a qual, durante seu longo reinado (1177–1212) atingiu o zênite de sua glória.

Obteve o apelido de "Grande Ninho", porque ele tinha uma grande descendência - 12 crianças, incluindo oito filhos. Na historiografia russa, às vezes é chamado Usevolodo III. O reinado de Usevolodo é o período da maior ascensão da terra de Vladimir-Susdália. As razões para o sucesso de Usevolodo são a confiança em novas cidades (Vladimir, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Dmitrov, Gorodets, Kostroma, Tver).

Família
Usevolodo era o décimo ou décimo primeiro filho de Jorge Dolgoruky (1099 – 1157), e irmão de André I de Vladimir. Seu pai fundou a cidade de Dmitrov para comemorar o nascimento de Usevolodo. Nikolai Karamzin (1766 – 1826) iniciou a especulação ao identificar a mãe de Usevolodo, Helene como uma princesa Grega, pois,  seguido da morte de seu marido,  levou Usevolodo consigo para Constantinopla.

Usevolodo passou sua juventude na corte de Comnena. Ao retornar do Império Bizantino em 1170, Usevolodo visitou, supostamente,  Tbilisi, como uma crônica local anota que, naquele ano o rei da Geórgia entreteve seu sobrinho de Constantinopla e o casou com sua parente, uma princesa Ossétia.

Biografia
Em 1162, junto com sua mãe e irmãos  Vasilko e  Mistislau foi expulso por , partindo para Constantinopla aos cuidados do imperador  Manuel. Com a idade de quinze anos, ele retornou para a Rússia e, tendo feito as pazes com André, em 1169 e, juntamente com outros príncipes aliados, participou na campanha de captura de Quieve. Em 1173 pela ordem do irmão mais velho - Mikhail Yuryevich sentou-se em Quieve com Yaropolk Rostislavich e logo foi capturado em Esmolensco por Rostislavich que tinha tomado a cidade. Retirado do cativeiro por Mikhail.<ref>  Pyatnov. A. P. "Quieve e a Terra de Quieve em 1167-1173 gg. </ref>

 Luta pelo poder em Vladimir

Depois do assassinato de André (1174) junto com seu irmão mais velho Miguel em 1176, lutou pelo poder no Principado de Vladimir-Susdália com seus sobrinhos,  Mistislau e Jaropolco Rostislavich. Apoiados por Esvetoslau Czernicóvia. Em 1176  infligiu uma derrota decisiva em Mistislau, e no começo de 1177 destruiu seu aliado, Glebo de Riazã, capturando-o e a Rostislavich. Glebo logo morreu na prisão de Vladimir e Rostislavich foi cegado e libertado. Mistislau logo morreu, e Jaropolco foi então feito prisioneiro em (1181) e expulso em 1196.

 Fortalecendo a política externa
Esvetoslau rompeu sua aliança com Usevolodo, que se opunha à concentração do poder romano na terra de Riazã. Esvetoslau empreendeu uma campanha punitiva contra Usevolodo, que terminou em vão no rio Vlena, além disso o  filho de Esvetoslau foi expulso de Novogárdia pelas próximas três décadas. Mandou seu filho mais velho Constantino para Novogárdia (1205) para reinar.

Usevolodo, o Grande Ninho continuou lutando na Bulgária do Volga e Mordóvia (campanhas  em 1183 e 1185), com Esvetoslau, da parte da qual a crônica registrou um apelo único a Usevolodo (irmão e filho). Em 1185, Usevolodo conduziu uma nova invasão do Principado de Riazã.

Em 1189, ele tomou o príncipe galego Vladimir Yaroslavich, filho de sua irmã, sob sua tutela.

Em 1194, Esvetoslau se reuniu com seus irmãos em Rogov e fez uma campanha contra os príncipes riazenses por causa de uma disputa fronteiriça, ao mesmo tempo em que pedia permissão a Usevolodo, o Grande Ninho, mas ele recusou, e as tropas tiveram que ser enviadas de Karachev.

 Sul após a morte Esvetoslau
Após a morte de Esvetoslau no principado de Quieve (1194) Rurique Rostislavich colocou seu genro na posse de Romano Mstislavich em um grande volost na região de Quieve em Porosye, que incluiu cinco cidades: Torchesk, Trípoli, Korsun, Bohuslav e  Kanev. O Grande Ninho, por reconhecimento de que pelos anciãos da família Monômaco, Rurique foi, reivindicou a paróquia romana para si mesmo, dando Torsches Rurique para seu filho Rostislau.

Então, Usevolodo destruiu a união dos Monômacos do sul para não perder a influência sobre os assuntos do sul. Os Olgoviches realizarn uma campanha de sucesso contra Davi Rostislavich em 1195. Em 1196, Czernicóvia se preparou para defender sua capital de Rurique Rostislavich, fez entalhes no caminho da suposta ofensiva das tropas e Vladimir e colocou suas principais forças atrás das vagas. Rurique foi forçado a usar parte de suas forças do sul (Mistislau Romanovich e Rostislav Rurikovich) e aliados galegos (Vladimir Yaroslavich) para distrair Romano Volynsky. Não de nao estar presente nas batalhas, Olgoviches recusou reivindicar Quieve durante a vida de Rurique e Davi. Além disso, Usevolodo fez as pazes com os Olgoviches, apesar do fato de terem rejeitado os termos de romper a aliança com Romano Volynsky, o que causou a indignação de Rurique e a completa retirada das posses de Usevolodo na região de Quieve.

Em abril ou junho de 1198, Usevolodo conduziu uma campanha contra o Don Polovtsy, derrotando seus terrenos invernais, isto é, penetrando na parte sul das áreas que ocupavam. E em vez da habitual migração primaveril para o norte, eles tiveram que correr mais para o sul, para o mar, a fim de evitar uma colisão com Usevolodo. O equilíbrio de forças no sul mudou dramaticamente com a chegada ao poder em Galícia (1199) e Quieve (1201) De Romano Galitsky. A Crônica "Lavrentiev perto de Usevolodo" relata que Usevolodo e Romano foram aprisionados no principado de Quieve por Ingvar Yaroslavich, primo de Romano (similarmente (pelo testamento de Usevolodo), explica Rurique Rostislavich em Quieve em 1194). Rurique Rostislavich uniu seus esforços com os Olgoviches e Polovtsy, mas conseguiu apenas a derrota de Quieve (2 de Janeiro de 1203) - a segunda na história da contenda. Rurique foi capturado por Romano.

Após a morte de Romano (1205), à convite do rei húngaro, o filho de Usevolodo Jaroslau tentou ocupar Galícia, que também foi reivindicado pelos Olgoviches. Uma nova briga começou, Usevolodo perdeu o principado do sul de Pereyaslav, e Rurique perdeu Quieve. Em resposta, Usevolodo em 1207, anunciando uma campanha contra Czernicóvia, em vez disso derrotou os aliados de Czernicóvia no principado Riazã, capturou 6 príncipes, colocou seu filho Jaroslau no comando, e após a revolta do povo em 1208 queimou Riazã. Mas Rurique, que retornou ao reino de Quieve, não devolveu Pereyaslavl a Usevolodo, e em 1209, os interesses de Usevolodo colidiram diretamente em Novogárdia com os interesses de Mistislau Mstislavich. Então Olgoviches ofereceu o mundo a Usevolodo, o Grande Ninho: Usevolodo IV de Quieve sentou-se em Quieve, Rurique Rostislavich  - em Czernicóvia, Pereyaslavl retornou sob o controle de Usevolodo (1210). Em comemoração João Vsevolodovich se casou com a princesa de Czernicóvia Ágata Vsevolodovna (1211).

 Anos posteriores
Em 1211, surgiu a questão da sucessão ao trono: o filho mais velho de Usevolodo, Constantino (casado com uma filha de [Mistislau Romanovich]]) exigiu que lhe fosse concedido as duas cidades de Vladimir e Rostóvia. Então Usevolodo convocou todos os seus boiardos de cidades e volostes, e este conselho confirmou a decisão de Usevolodo de privar Constantino dos direitos em favor de Jorge que sentou-se em Vladimir e Constantino em Rostóvia. Esta foi a causa da guerra interna no nordeste da Rússia (1212-1216) entre eles após a morte de Usevolodo.

Os restos mortais de Usevolodo são mantidos na Capela da Catedral da Assunção em  Vladimir.

BOSTON/NE BANDS, Fresh Stream
Gray Bouchard – Dedication Songs
The long walk to go solo.
by Arcadio Falcon
It's a rainy Tuesday morning in Back Bay and Gray Bouchard sounds very alive. We've been on the phone for 5 minutes and I ask about his solo album and how different it's been to work without his band, The Salem Wolves, around him.
"The band is really collaborative' he says, 'and I'm at my best when I'm working with people. I like to leave room for other players to interpret and insert themselves into the music. In that sense, Erik Von Geldern and Don Schweihofer are as responsible for the sound of this record as myself."
Erik and Don are the producers that helped Gray during the strenuous period of 5 years during which Dedication Songs was completed. Busy with other projects, Gray wrote and developed these songs step by step, letting them mature until the moment was right. Now the day has come for Gray to experiment on his own and show another side to his musical life, an intimate one.
Dedication Songs by Gray Bouchard
The album comes across as a strong record, very round and meticulously produced. Erik and Don do a great job at reinventing the songs and Gray Bouchard proves to be an excellent melody writer, with a special talent to capture the hook of a song.
Nothing from nothing, the track's first album, features a very 'rock and roll' riff by distorted guitars, which will dominate in the album. The reverb on the drums makes them sound distant and wide while a crispy, clean guitar cuts through the mix before going into full overdrive for a last melodic segment. Let it All go presents a very catchy melody, introducing Mr. Bouchard's pop side. The vibrant toms give a marching touch to the song where layers of arpeggiated synth color Gray's voice.
You're no better and Chasing after Honey have an 80's sound to them. The hooks are reminiscent of some of the early punk bands and the punchy guitars and bass quickly get your feet tapping along. In Chasing after Honey, Gray's vocals are brave and carefully produced with delays and echoes that enlarge its presence and add a chilling emotion to it.
Applause is a very interesting proposal. A simple and soft piano-driven ballad that grows into a brilliant chorus of choirs, brass and strings. The song is a revealing reflection on social constructions and the prize of acceptance.
In a return to the album's crudeness with a dark prog-rock tune, Small Houses is a world unto itself. One of the album's greatest achievements is that, when stripped down, all these songs are clearly pop songs with easily identifiable melodies. The producers (Don and Erik) did a masterful job at masking them enough to change the style but stopping short of stealing the song's identity.
Losing it is the heaviest track on the record. An almost heavy-rock guitar progression is adorned by a solo section. The raw intensity of the drumbeat morphs into a gentle groove for a brief bridge before the song ends in a rising dynamic. When I was yours has an intro a là Led Zeppelin. A very prominent high-pitched snare compliments Gray's minimalistic vocals perfectly.
A classic 6/8 starts closing the album. I don't want you to find me is another example of Gray's ability to find great melodies. In its production, this song offers glimpses of the Beatles and Nirvana.
The last song of the album, King in Yellow, is a smooth duo with vocalist Nicole Coogan. In a very melodic fashion, Gray rewards us with a soulful and delicate composition of rich instrumentation and contrast. The song revolves around the subtle descending vocal line harmonized by both vocalists. One of the record's highlights.
Dedication Songs is a visceral and moving experience; a window into the world of a songwriter that worships melodies and doesn't make any apologies.

Q: A Reference Book Justifying Different Distributions Well I am trying to find a book that could come up with a rationale behind different distributions but not only defining them and giving an intuition about the structure of distributions. For example it seems really hard for me to grasp the idea behind beta distribution as to be related to binomial distribution.
Right now I am reading Bayesian Data Analysis by Gelman et. Al:
http://www.amazon.com/Bayesian-Analysis-Edition-Chapman-Statistical/dp/158488388X
And it is not at all covering such a thing. It only defines it which is most of the time the case for the probability reference books.

A: In Statistical Inference by Casella & Berger, there is one chapter called "Common Families of Distributions". While not perhaps covering all cases, the authors discuss the distributions in words and not only mathematically. There is one example about the Gamma-Poisson relationship, for instance. Also, at the end there is a nice little map showing relationships between distributions (which can also be found here). Their book might help you a little, at least, so have a look at it if you can and see if it's something like what you are looking for.
EDIT: In the link I posted there is a reference to the article in which the map first appeared. The reference is

Leemis, L. M. (1986), "Relationships among common univariate
  distributions," The American Statistician, Vol. 40, No. 2

and judging by its name it might be worth checking out.

A: I have been working at a compendium of probability distributions that tries to provide some motivation in the introduction to each distribution. The compendium can be found at http://www.statlect.com/distri.htm . For the Beta distribution, in particular, you can read the remarks in the introduction at http://www.statlect.com/beta_distribution.htm

Foster & Co. (Foster, Armstrong & Company)
The Foster Piano Company was established in 1890 in New York City. Before the turn-of-the-century, Foster & Co. merged with the Armstrong Piano Company to form the Foster-Armstrong Piano Company. Foster-Armstrong was a major force in piano manufacturing in the early 20th Century, and they built pianos under the names of Foster, Armstrong, and Foster-Armstrong.
During the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, the firm built a number of higher quality pianos for a dealer by the name of James F. Cook of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, under the brand name of J. F. Cook. By the 1930's era, Foster-Armstrong merged with the giant Aeolian-American Corporation, and they began building pianos for several popular piano manufacturers including Haines, Fischer, Marshall & Wendell, Franklin, Holmes & Sons, Brewster, and Stratford. Aeolian continued to build pianos under many of these names throughout the 20th Century before going out of business in the 1980's.

As a kid, I couldn't understand why adults were content to live in boring houses. I knew that when I was old enough to have my own place, I would decorate every room in a completely different style. The two I remember best: A tented circus theme living room with multiple trapezes instead of chairs, and a bedroom with a floor of water on which an inflatable canopy bed would drift throughout the night. It never occurred to me that swimming to and from bed would ever be anything less than wonderful.
Despite my best efforts, I grew up and grew boring.
Maybe that's why I love the fact that in our otherwise modern, circa 1939, house with its clean lines and airy feel, is one room completely out of character from the rest of the house. It is dark. It is paneled in knotty pine. It has three built-in beds like bunks on a pirate ship, a built-in chest of drawers, a built-in desk, and inexplicably, a ceiling light with a small chrome propeller airplane suspended in perpetual orbit. The room served as the perfect treefort-like bedroom for two adventurous little girls growing up and, more recently, as a rather peculiar guest room in which visitors, no matter how chummy, sleep Bert and Ernie style in permanently separate beds.
Now I have a fantasy of decking it out in steampunk lamps, moving metal cogs and clock parts ala Martin Scorcese's movie Hugo.
A few years ago, that would have been an unattainable dream. But look at the light fixture from Rejuvenation, pictured at left. It captures that "eccentric Victorian inventor" aura. But one of my favorites is the simple table lamp below for under $100.
There is a site devoted to creating steampunk interiors called Trial By Steam.
The corset chair, below, by English designer Sarah Louise Dix is a long way from Oregon. But with so many creative upholsterers around, including Acanthus and Nip & Tuck it should be easy to create a one-of-a-kind chair with the steampunk feel.
Who wouldn't want to spend a night or two behind a giant clock face overlooking the Eiffel Tower, or in this case, a mysterious wood room overlooking the lights of downtown PDX with a clock, below, from Williams-Sonoma? It would be intriguing. It would stir sentimental nostalgia. It would be, like the kid's hideaway in Hugo, a nice place to visit but they wouldn't want to live there.
And isn't that the perfect guest room for when grown-up children visit?

"Paulie Malignaggi: Dear Boxing" An Open Letter On Why He Keeps Fighting
Showtime Boxing - July 29, 2016
Veteran boxer, a former two-division world champion, Paulie Malignaggi pens an open letter to the sport of boxing as the Magic Man prepares to step into the ring once more on Saturday night.
Malignaggi (35-7, 7 KOs) will face Gabriel Bracero in a 10-round welterweight bout between fellow Brooklynite in the SHOWTIME EXTREME® main event tomorrow, Saturday live at 7 p.m. ET/PT from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Malignaggi explains in the letter why he keeps on climbing into the ring: "I know fighters don't age gracefully," he says. "I know fighters get hurt. But I also know in my heart, I gotta fight. At least one more time. Why? I'll tell you why: Love."
After his bout, Malignaggi, also a SHOWTIME Sports® boxing analyst, plans to join the announce team and call the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® tripleheader featuring featherweight world champion Leo Santa Cruz defending against N. Ireland's Carl Frampton and the return of undefeated and former two-division champion Mikey Garcia facing ex-champion Elio Rojas, live on SHOWTIME® (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT).

Secret Pentagon programs could see AI scanning through huge amounts of data to look for signs of an imminent missile launch. The research is highly classified, and is another sign of growing US interest in AI.
While the sensitive nature of the research means it is still shrouded in secrecy, multiple Department of Defense sources told Reuters that several programs are currently underway, all aimed at using artificial intelligence to anticipate and warn of enemy missile launches.
Computer systems would scour through vast amounts of data, such as drone footage or satellite imagery, much faster and more accurately than humans. In one pilot program focused on North Korea, AI is used to locate and track mobile missiles that can be hidden in tunnels, forests, and caves. AI then assesses whether the activity constitutes an immediate threat, and alerts commanders.
Once signs of a missile launch are detected, the US government would then have time to either pursue diplomatic options or move in and destroy the missiles, ideally before they even leave the ground.
The Trump administration has proposed tripling funding for one AI-driven missile program next year to $83 million. While $83 million may seem like a modest sum, it funds just one of many hush-hush programs, and represents Washington's growing interest in military AI technology.
However, not everyone is as gung-ho about developing military AI. Earlier this week, Google canceled a controversial AI contract with the Pentagon after receiving backlash from its employees. In a letter to management, 3,000 Google staff said that the company "should not be in the business of war," adding that working with the military goes against the tech giant's "Don't be evil" ethos.
There are other risks too. Developing AI technology could provoke an arms race of sorts with Russia or China. The technology is also still in its infancy, and could make mistakes. US Air Force General John Hyten, the top commander of US nuclear forces, said that once such systems are operational, human safeguards will still be needed to control the 'escalation ladder' – the process through which a nuclear missile is launched.
The dangers inherent in allowing AI to make life-or-death decisions were highlighted by an MIT study that found an AI neural network could be easily fooled into thinking a plastic turtle was actually a rifle. Hackers could theoretically exploit this vulnerability, and force an AI-driven missile system to attack the wrong target.
Regardless of the potential human cost of error, the Pentagon is pressing ahead with its research. Some officials interviewed by Reuters believe that elements of the AI missile program could become operational by the early 2020s.
Others believe that the government is not investing enough.


The decision not to review a leg before wicket appeal on Australia's captain Steve Smith was the right one at the time as there was significant doubt from even people off the field, New Zealand coach Mike Hesson has said.
That decision was not the only thing to go wrong, with the side making uncharacteristic errors in the field, including several dropped catches, while their death bowling was too expensive, going for 110 runs in the final 10 overs.
Smith was on 14 when he was trapped in front by Trent Boult, who was convinced he had struck a major blow to Australia's innings in the first one-day international in Sydney on Sunday.
The appeal, however, was turned down by umpire Mick Martell and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson chose not to review. Television replays, however, showed the on-field decision would have been overturned.
Smith, who told reporters that he felt he was out and relieved the visitors did not review, went on to make 164 to guide his side to 324 for eight before they bowled New Zealand out for 256 in 44.2 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
"There was plenty of chat afterwards about that," Hesson told reporters in Sydney on Monday.
"There were two sounds and the possibility of an inside edge.
"From our angle we heard two noises. Macca (batting coach Craig McMillan) and I were going 'he's probably nicked it' and clearly he didn't.
"Generally (Williamson) looks to the guy square on in terms of height, the keeper has a good look, is sometimes obscured, first slip sometimes has a better look and he was unsure.
"All that's got to happen pretty quickly. It was obviously pretty costly in the end."
New Zealand were also plagued by fielding and bowling errors at the SCG on the evening.
Debutant Lockie Ferguson also bowled four no balls, gifting Australia a free hit on the next delivery as he conceded 73 runs from nine overs.
Hesson, however, said a bout of cramp may have affected the 25-year-old, who still impressed with his pace that hurried up the Australian batsmen.
"He conceded a lot with his extras and a lot of that was cramping and loss of stride length," Hesson added.
"Those things happen and can be tidied up pretty quickly once he gets used to that kind of intensity.
"We want him to run in and bowl quick and create opportunity. We certainly saw some good signs."


Daisen Temple is an ancient temple in the Tendai sect located on Mt. Daisen. This area enjoyed great prosperity to rival that of Mt. Hiei or Mt. Koya as a large training dojo since the Heian period (794 to 1185). You can see precious Buddhist art from the Hakuho period (approx. 645 to 710) and Kamakura period (1185 to 1333) in the Reho-kaku Treasure Hall. If you go up the stone-paved approach road from Daisen Temple, you will come to Ogamiyama Shrine. This is one of the grandest gongendzukuri (style of Shinto Architecture in which the main hall and worship hall share one roof) shrines in Japan. The area at the foot of Mt. Daisen centered on Daisen Temple was listed as Japanese heritage as "one of Japan's largest horse and cattle markets developed by the Ksitigarbha faith" in 2016.


I've been playing drums for exactly two thirds of my life. I started when I was eight and fell deeply in love with it. It has always been my dream to play drums for a living. So when I was 12 I started a band. We played metal and held it together for about seven years, until the scene in Cape Town took a bit of a dive and our lead guitarist began playing for Cape Town's roots reggae giants, 7th Son. It was at about that time that the band decided to call it a day. A few months ago our guitarists came to me with a new project they had been working on. Once I heard the first tune I was blown away and I began playing drums for the project. Four more members joined and we became Grassy Spark.
This was all taking place while we were at school studying and now, for the last three years, working. I got a job at Hellocomputer as a 3D & Motion Graphic artist. As Grassy Spark grew, so did the shows and tours. This can become a problem due to allocated leave for the year. I am fortunate enough to have very understanding bosses/HOD's and work in a solid team! When I am in the office however, I need to be giving it my all. I work my absolute hardest and do whatever it is I need to do to get the job done. I make sure I work neatly, following the team's processes. So when I'm on the road and the guys need to render out a clip, or make changes to a video, they can do so easily and without much hassle. It is a challenge holding a job in an ad agency while trying to make a success out of your band, but I am fortunate enough to love both my jobs. I get to work on videos for high end clients, and currently we are about to launch our site for Hellomotion, the 3D and Motion part of Hellocomputer and in-between I get to go see parts of the country I would never have seen.
The balancing part of this article isn't really learning how to balance I guess. To do that you should learn to ride a unicycle.
So how do you keep it together when you have an unbalanced life?
Working in an agency is hard enough. There are a lot of late nights and early mornings and sacrifices. If you are in a band and also holding a job, just make sure you keep focused on what you want. The same applies to any other aspect of your life. If you want it badly enough you'll do whatever you need to. My life consists of work and Grassy Spark. When I'm not at work I'm probably doing something that pushes the band that little bit closer.
It's all about letting go and having fun sometimes. If you can't enjoy what you are doing, you will always be tired, bored, over it and unhappy. You have to find that one thing that keeps you going. Or a number of little things. However you need to do it, just remember: life isn't about being stressed, unhappy and working till 3am every morning just to pay the bills. It is about understanding what you want from life and making that happen.
Being passionate about what you do is key to happiness and gaining happiness from work, life and everything you do. If you can't find a single thing about your job that sets you on fire, do something else. Balancing your life and your work cannot be a chore, or it will never be worth it, especially if you are balancing a lot of stuff like I am.
In closing, you'll probably be quite tired. But it's all worth it! When you finish a rad piece of work and are super proud of it or you've just come off stage at 2am and are drenched and exhausted, the progress you see makes it all worth it. It kind of makes you forget about the fact that you are tired and it keeps you focused on what's important… Avocado Pears.

Q: insufficient buffer when call DocumentProperties, also, global unlock wouldn't unlock please see comments inline
bool res = false;
DWORD dwNeeded = DocumentPropertiesW(NULL, m_currPrinterHandle, (LPWSTR) m_currPrinterName.c_str(), NULL, NULL, 0);
if (m_devmode_buf)
{
    GlobalFree(m_devmode_buf);
}
m_devmode_buf = GlobalAlloc(GPTR, dwNeeded);
GetLastError(); // = 0;
if (m_devmode_buf)
{
    LPDEVMODEW devmode_buf = (LPDEVMODEW) GlobalLock(m_devmode_buf);
    GetLastError(); // = 0
    if (devmode_buf)
    {
        if (devmode_buf)
        {
            lala = DocumentPropertiesW(NULL, m_currPrinterHandle, (LPWSTR) m_currPrinterName.c_str(), devmode_buf, NULL, DM_OUT_BUFFER);
            if (lala == IDOK)
            {
                res = true;
            }
            GetLastError(); // = 122. insufficient buffer here. why????
        }
        UInt32 res1 = GlobalUnlock(m_devmode_buf); // res1 is 1. should be 0
        res2 = GetLastError(); // = 0
        if (!(res1 == 0 && (res2 == ERROR_NOT_LOCKED || res2 == NO_ERROR)))
        {
            //res = false;
        }
    }
}

A: If the second call to DocumentProperties() is returning 1 (i.e. IDOK) then it is not failing, thus the value of GetLastError() is meaningless.  It is probably an expected condition that is raised and handled inside of DocumentProperties().  The convention of using GetLastError() is that you only set it on failure; you don't usually clear it on success.  It is up to the documentation of each individual function to explain how errors are returned.  The documentation for DocumentProperties() doesn't even mention GetLastError(), so checking it at all might be meaningless (though usually it is safe to assume that all Win32 functions return errors via GetLastError()).

A: You do not need to call GlobalLock since you passed GPTR to GlobalAlloc.  You only need to call GlobalLock when you pass GMEM_MOVEABLE.
But, you shouldn't be using GlobalAlloc/GlobalFree, unless the documentation for the API you're passing the memory to says otherwise.  Prefer HeapAlloc/HeapFree or just new/delete.  GlobalAlloc is an older API intended for compatibility with 16-bit Windows.

A: DocumentProperties will return -1 for the DEVMODE size for certain machines under certain circumstances - there's a whole thread on the MS forums about it (started about 2008) but MS don't see it as an issue, despite their example code never checking the return code (or the PrintDlg() common dialog which happily tries to allocate -1 memory and fails).
You just can't rely solely on this function, as it could work on your machine but fail on a client's machine.  Check for -1 and if it returns that just make up a big number (2*sizeof(DEVMODE) or something) and use that.

Caption: Three parties are fighting hard for their party policy.
Left, holding a sign reading Pheu Chart Party: Choose my party in order to bring Thaksin home.
Center, holding a sign reading Pheu Thai Party: No… my party has a clear policy in bringing Thaksin home.
Right, holding a sign reading Thai Raksa Chart Party: Don't believe them… only my party… that would bring Thaksin home in style.
[Since the new constitution essentially penalizes large parties in parliament, Thaksin supporters have been strategically divided among a number of smaller parties. This has several other advantages such as mitigating the threat of dissolution that the Pheu Thai faces for allowing itself to be "influenced" by people overseas (in this case Thaksin) and also to create more party list posts to protect Red Shirt leaders who have agitated on Thaksin's behalf.
Here the cartoonist makes fun of recent statements made by politicians. He contends that these political parties and the elections are only marginally about party policy or democracy and instead are about the perennial quest to return Thaksin to power.
Yongyuth Tiyapairat, one of the founders of the Pheu Chart Party, has been openly sparring with the junta, demanding they negotiate with Thaksin directly and pledging that his party will find a way to bring Thaksin home. This is exactly what previous parties, like the People Power Party and the Pheu Thai, have pledged before elections in the past.
The party that led the last elected government, the Pheu Thai Party, has lost many influential members both to the new pro-Thaksin parties and to pro-military parties which oppose Thaksin's return.
The de facto leader of the Pheu Thai, popular politician Sudarat Keyuraphan, has attempted to bolster her party in the face of rumors that Thaksin has abandoned it with so many politicians moving to other parties.
Sudarat is consistently one of the most popular politicians in the country, but has faced resistance in her attempts to gain control of the Pheu Thai.
As a non-Thaksin relative with her own political base, she is unlikely to follow Thaksin's orders from abroad, thereby complicating his efforts to return to politics. She is also hated by the traditional rural political cliques that make up the party. She has her political base around Bangkok, making her far removed from the kingpins and voters in the Northeast that comprise the party base.
Thaksin's son Panthongtae, once expected to join one of the new pro-Thaksin parties, instead joined the Pheu Thai. This was seen as a way for Thaksin to show he was not abandoning the party.
The Thai Raksa Chart is another new party, this one created as a home for some of the Red Shirt leadership. One benefit of this is to create more party list MPs posts for non-politician Red Shirt leaders.
Most Red Shirts leaders are not actual politicians who have home districts where they are elected. They were recruited in past years to agitate, sometimes violently, in support of Thaksin initiatives. After elections, these individuals received legal protection, as well as political positions, by being appointed party list MPs under the Pheu Thai.
However, the new charter limits the number of party list MPs meaning that Red Shirts leaders have no guaranteed path to be MPs and legal protection within the Pheu Thai. Thus, Thai Raksa Chart can provide MPs posts for important Red Shirts.
It will also likely ease the complaints of more mainstream politicians in the Pheu Thai who felt uneasy about sharing a party with Red Shirts and their sometimes extreme rhetoric.


There are many, many explanation why a married couple would choose or be forced to divorce each other. If you're considering a legal separation, divorce, or dissolution of marriage you would be sensible to consult an lawyer who can inform you legally about your particular divorce or legal separation matter. Marriage and divorce have been first positioned under comprehensive state regulation in Rome through the reign of Augustus (27 b.c.-a.d. 14). Ten days after Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt , the 2 at the moment are deep in personal negotiations, PEOPLE has confirmed.
A authorized separation usually signifies that each parties reached an agreement regarding baby custody, youngster visitation, baby help, spousal support or alimony, distribution of property, lawyer charges, and private conduct.
For the next a hundred and fifty years, state legislatures handed and maintained legal guidelines that granted divorce solely upon a showing of fault on the part of a partner. Uncontested divorces transfer much sooner by the courtroom system and are due to this fact inexpensive. The legal termination of a marriage in any other case than by death or the granting of a decree of nullity. An antenuptial settlement is made under the assumption that the marriage may not last ceaselessly, which means that it facilitates divorce. An annulment differs from a divorce on the bottom that this process is meant at simply canceling a marriage.
The court docket held that an incomplete list of the husband's belongings, given to the wife shortly earlier than the marriage, and on the premise of which the spouse signed the prenuptial settlement, did not constitute full disclosure. Proficiency of adept legal professionals or attorneys coping with divorce cases are immensely reputed to cope with such information. After the Revolutionary War, divorce regulation within the United States continued to develop regionally. Despite these deterrents, just a few northern colonies adopted laws permitting divorce within the 1650s.
In Sogg v. Nevada State Bank, the Nevada Supreme Court concluded that a premarital agreement can be presumed fraudulent where it left a spouse with no sources or technique of assist in the event of a divorce, and the place the spouse probably would have received more beneath the community property laws of Nevada have been it not for the premarital settlement.

«Затура: Космическое приключение» () — семейный приключенческий кинофильм режиссёра Джона Фавро. Фильм снят по книге Криса Ван Оллсбурга, который ранее написал книгу «Джуманджи».

Сюжет
Братья Уолтер и Дэнни не ладят друг с другом и со своей старшей сестрой Лизой. Во время пребывания в доме у своего разведённого отца, когда тот уезжает на работу, а Лиза спит, Дэнни находит в подвале старую настольную игру на космическую тематику «Затура». Они начинают играть, цель — первым достичь финиша под аналогичным названием. Во время каждого хода игра выдаёт карточку с заданиями, но братья быстро понимают, что карты влияют на реальность. Вскоре они обнаруживают, что дом теперь находится в космосе. Тем временем Лиза смотрит в окно и, искренне полагая, что на улице просто ночь, идёт в душ для подготовки к свиданию. Когда мальчики пытаются предупредить Лизу, они узнают, что она заморожена из-за очередной карты. Братья читают инструкцию, в которой указан единственный способ вернуться домой — достичь Затуры, то есть пройти игру до конца.

По мере того как братья продолжают играть, они избегают различных опасностей, таких как неисправный робот, нападение зоргонов (пришельцев) и притяжение звезды ЦУРИС-3 . Следующая карта приносит в дом Астронавта, который советует братьям выключить свет и все источники тепла, а затем поджигает диван и отправляет его в космос, тем самым отвлекая зоргонов. Напряжение между братьями растёт, Уолтер обвиняет Дэнни в том, что тот жульничал и передвинул свою фигурку вперёд, но, когда Уолтер возвращает её обратно, игра реагирует так, как будто Уолтер жульничает, и выталкивает его из дома в космическое пространство. Его спасает Астронавт. Во время следующего хода Уолтер получает карту, которая позволяет ему загадать желание. Астронавт пытается отговорить его, но Уолтер всё равно загадывает желание, и у него появляется футбольный мяч с автографом. Астронавт рассказывает, что он сам и его собственный брат играли в эту же игру, и он тоже получил эту карточку. Он пожелал исчезновение своего брата и в итоге застрял в игре, так как она рассчитана на двоих. Братья соглашаются работать в команде, чтобы быстрее закончить игру.

Лиза размораживается и, не зная о текущих событиях, случайно приманивает зоргонов обратно. Все бегут на второй этаж, но понимают, что игра осталась внизу. Дэнни удаётся найти её, но зоргоны увязываются за ним в погоню. Уолтер использует карту «Сменить программу», чтобы заставить самовосстанавливающегося робота атаковать зоргонов, и пришельцы отступают. Поскольку братья продолжают играть в игру, Уолтер получает ещё одну карту «Загадай желание». Он загадывает, чтобы Астронавт вернул своего брата, и, к удивлению всех, братом оказывается копия Дэнни. Выясняется, что Астронавт и есть Уолтер, только в будущем. Дэнни и Уолтер касаются своих двойников, заставляя их исчезнуть.

Зоргоны возвращаются в дом с большим флотом, намереваясь уничтожить его. Дэнни делает последний ход и достигает Затуры. Затура — это чёрная дыра, которая засасывает корабли зоргонов и дом. Все трое оказываются на Земле, как будто бы ничего не случилось. Отец приходит домой и видит, как Уолтер и Дэнни поладили и играют вместе. Лиза уходит на свидание и говорит братьям, чтобы они никому не рассказывали о том, что произошло. В конце фильма велосипед, который всё время вращался в космосе вокруг дома, падает на газон перед ним.

Существа
 Зоргоны — главные антагонисты фильма. Враждебные, хищные и злобные инопланетяне, похожие на огромных ящеров. Передвигаются на космических кораблях, сжигают всё во Вселенной (в том числе и свою планету), питаются мясом.
 Робот — неисправный крупный металлический робот. Считал Уолтера инопланетным телом, которое нужно уничтожить и гонялся за ним. Но из-за выпавшей впоследствии карточки «Перепрограммирование» сам себя починил и помог прогнать Зоргонов.

Like each of the early Heads albums – up to and including 1980's Remain in Light – Fear of Music fused infectious rhythm, ambitious melody and surreal lyrics to create something undeniably unique. "Cities" stands as a wonderful example of that vision.
"Cities" – Talking Heads, Rome, Italy 1980
Phish played their debut cover of "Cities" at Nectar's, nearly twelve years before they'd tackle Remain in Light in its entirety. The song appeared occasionally at Phish gigs in the late 1980s before dropping out of the play list entirely for almost six years, then resurfacing a single time in Ottawa on 7/5/94. "Cities" immediately took another long hiatus before reappearing in Hamburg, Germany on 3/1/97 (see Slip, Stitch & Pass). That summer, "Cities" made a huge splash in Amsterdam, a 24-minute masterpiece of patience and exploration that was immortalized on the Amsterdam box set. On 7/30/97 in Ventura, CA, the first "Cities" on American soil in nearly nine years bubbled up from the disco dregs of "David Bowie."
After "Cities" made seven appearances in 1998, it settled back into lighter traffic pattern through Coventry in 2004, surfacing once or twice a tour; upon Phish's 2009 return to the stage "Cities" saw elevated action through 2013, before again taking a step back. This furtiveness is possibly what makes fans mistakenly hear teases of the song in random jams, as its main riff is simply a repeated D-chord. Errant setlists from '97 and '98 were rife with claims of "Cities" teases. The most dastardly example of this is on recordings of the 4/16/99 Phil & Phriends gig, where some Phish fans, not as familiar with the Dead as others, labeled the breakdown jam in "St. Stephen" as a "Cities" tease.
"Cities" – Phish, 4/5/98, Providence, RI
As with many covers, Phish takes generous artistic liberties with "Cities." Most late 90s versions were far slower and wah-drenched than the Talking Heads standard – far more cow-funky than avant-garde. Trey also plays fast and loose with the lyrics, omitting an entire verse about getting lost in El Paso and tweaking other lines at whim ("find yourself " instead of the actual "find myself"). Such creative license helps keep the tune fresh and just a little different each time out. Go sample the super-goopy Great Went "Cities" from 8/16/97 ("Fishman sleeps... sleeps in the daytime... build yourself a city to live in"); the aforementioned Hamburg breakout ("Are those things real? ... nein!"); the 9/29/99 Memphis encore ("Home of Elvis and the Rendezvous Bar-BQ"); 6/14/00 from Fukuoka, Japan ("It's only the noodles"); and the almost 20-minute monster second set opener from Minneapolis on 9/24/00.
Phish 2.0 versions were relatively restrained but prominently placed, including a show-opening performance at Deer Creek on 7/21/03, a late second set slot at the 20th anniversary gig on 12/2/03, and in Miami on 12/30/03. Phish 3.0 versions mostly followed that pattern, though a string of especially strong versions including 12/31/14 Miami, 8/12/15 at The Mann, and 8/22/15 Magnaball signaled something of a "Cities" resurgence.

Extended jams on the tune are rare, which makes the undisputed Gotham of "Cities" – the 8/10/97 Deer Creek behemoth – that much more special. The second set opener delved into licentious grooves for nearly a half-hour, setting the standard by which the jams of that summer would be judged. Other standout "Cities" include the 8/5/88 Colorado sandwich ("YEM" -> "Cities" -> "DEG" -> "Cities"), the Lemonwheel version from 8/15/98 (with vertigo-inducing delay loop jam), the plinko-heavy Greek Theatre reading from 8/6/10 (crackling with crowd energy), and the majestic "Mexico Cities" from Riviera Maya on 1/16/16.
