Eskimos Creating 50 Words to Describe "Hot"
Published April 2015 0 Comments
Due to global warming, Inuit people are finding themselves in need of new words to describe "hot."
IQALUIT, Canada – Inuit people, also known as Eskimos, have more than more than 50 words to describe snow but thanks to rising temperatures they have been working to create 50 words to describe heat.
"This is completely new thing for us," said Inuit Elder Ma'hai Kunik. "We never needed a word for the not cold because it doesn't get not cold here. So it is weird and difficult. We have words for fire and cooking and what you feel when you rub a penis and vagina together, but we had nothing for the concept of not cold as related to weather. Now, with global warming, we're having to change things about our language that we never thought we would have to change."
So far, Inuit language experts have created 21 words that describe various types of heat. Many of the new words are contractions formed from existing words for cold with the prefix "not" added.
"It may seem lazy but you come up with more than 40 words for 'hot'," said Inuit historian Johnathan Cheenook. "We came up with 10 brand new words like 'knutick,' 'nennoonannukkanak,' 'cheechoonikonnikoo' and 'hutinchoonikinannoowaninnooik," That last one is my favorite. It means 'kinda warm and a little humid but not too humid.' It took us five months to get 10 words. So after we got to 10 words we just started add 'not' on to the words we already had for cold and snow. We are at 21 words now and we can hopefully get the rest we need before summer. Summer… shit, we need a word for 'summer.'"
In recent years Inuit people have stopped using almost all words that described snow, spurring tribal leaders to gather to discuss a change in language.
"As times change and new generations come about, every language has to change and add new words and phrases," said Harvard Linguist Reginald Whalay. "Just look at the English language. Fifteen years ago, before the first iPod's came out, the word iPod didn't exist. Of course this is an example of a brand name taking over, but still, the term iPod has become synonymous with a pocket music player. We're constantly having to come up with new phrases and words to go along with our changing world, so it is no surprise that these indigenous peoples are finding themselves in a situation where they need new words because the world around them is changing. Next thing you know they'll not only have 50 words for heat, but they'll also have a word for punching a Transsexual prostitute in the taint while climaxing. I came up with one for the English language. I call that "getting Whalay'd.""
According to The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climate Center, last year was the hottest years on record with an increase of 1.24°F over the average global temperature since 1880.
"We do not actually have 50 words for snow. That is a lie," said Cheenook. "We only have 43. But English has a lot of stupid things in it too so shut up. But now, all of those words are going away because we don't get much snow anymore. On my way in to work today is was downright nennoonannukkanak out there. They say tomorrow will be even more kinnoonikanuickoo. Sure, I know a lot of Republicans are quick to say that global warming is a joke when they see all the snow and ice covering the ground, but in reality, it hasn't actually snowed here in about a year. All of this? This shit has been here for years. I hope that it doesn't get so knutick that the ice melts and a certain 'mistake' that I made back in 89 pops up."
Once work on the language has changed, Inuit leaders say they will then take a look at teaching people how to make sandcastles and bikinis.
"First thing we need to work on language, after that, we will work on the lifestyles," said Kunik. "I'm looking forward to first swimsuit season and all of the sexy walrus sunbathing on the sand. I can't wait to go over to them and oil them up so they don't get sunburns. That will be nonannuckiniwanohoo in more ways than one. I could maybe look at some of the women, but first I will get me a little 'Rus vagina."

I was very proud to have an article published in this month's Digital Photographer Magazine. The article's all about adding blur to an image to give it some movement and interest.
The image of a taxi that I used was a photo I took while down in London. It was a glorious day and I had a little time to kill while my friend Andy was inside the university talking to a professor about particle physics before we headed off to the Barbican and Tate for a little culture.
This wasn't my first choice of image, in fact I had no idea what image I was going to use, I had my laptop on my desk at The Media and Journalism Centre with my head in my hands when colleagues came into the office. Luckily for me they are very supportive and helped me to choose, and have confidence in an image.
Although this isn't the first time I've been in print this is certainly the most well known publication, so I'm very proud to be a contributor, now all i have to do is see if i can do it again!

ALEC is registered as a tax-exempt charitable organization and claims not to spend any money on lobbying. But according to a new report from Common Cause, a national nonpartisan government reform group, a number of ALEC-backed and -drafted bills have been introduced and enacted by ALEC-affiliated legislators in Baton Rouge in recent years.
"ALEC in Louisiana" uncovers the power that "the secretive special interest lobbying group" has already utilized in the southern state. According to the report, nearly 50 members of the Louisiana Senate and House of Representatives have ties to ALEC. Common Cause found that legislative language in Louisiana is commonly copied and pasted from the ALEC "model bills," making the group's influence "extremely prominent."
"Shining a light on ALEC's undemocratic and secretive operations helps voters know who is really calling the shots in their state legislature," said Karen Hobert Flynn, president of Common Cause. "ALEC's history of rigging the rules against everyday Louisianans on behalf of their corporate funders is not how democracy is supposed to work."
ALEC is a powerful corporate-funded pay-to-play organization that brings lawmakers, lobbyists, and other groups in the Koch's influence machine together to vote side-by-side on bills that legislators then take back and introduce in their home states, usually without any public disclosure of their source. The Center for Media and Democracy teamed up with Common Cause in 2012 to file an IRS whistleblower complaint against ALEC, charging the group with tax fraud and massively underreporting its lobbying activity.
This week's ALEC annual meeting is chock full of union-busting, gerrymandering, fossil fuel promoting, and school privatizing legislation that benefits the economic interests of ALEC's patrons.
While the exact issues the Louisiana bills address are varied, the bills fulfill ALEC's admitted purpose, "to strengthen relationships between 'business leaders' and legislators" and "satisfy corporate needs," according to Common Cause.
For instance, HB 727, was introduced by dues-paying ALEC member, Sen. Joseph H. Major Thibaut, Jr. Thibaut's bill shares text with an ALEC model bill, "The Critical Infrastructure Protection Act." It was signed into law in May of this year amidst growing local opposition to the construction of the Bayou Bridge pipeline, which will bring fracked oil from North Dakota to Louisiana's Gulf Coast.
Senate Bill 364, intended to deal with recent conflicts over controversial speakers on college campuses, is based on ALEC's "Forming Open And Robust University Minds (FORUM) Act." In June, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards signed the act into law, after vetoing a similar bill last year.
With ALEC's assistance, similar bills have been pushed and enacted around the country at the behest of the right-wing Goldwater Institute and State Policy Network. The American Association of University Professors has criticized Goldwater's approach as "a political agenda masquerading behind 'free speech'" and objects to its "preference for punishment as a means for ending protests and disruptions that obstruct free speech." S.B. 364 does not include those punitive measures, but ALEC's model bill creates a a private right of action and the ability to bring counter claims for alleged violations of the act.
Meg Logue, a 350 New Orleans activist, told Common Cause that, through ALEC, "our legislators jeopardize our democracy by bending toward the priorities of corporations while undermining the peoples' right to self-determination and justice."
This article has been updated for clarity.

Campus bill
I'm confused, you link to an AAUP article linking the ALEC FORUM bill to the Goldwater bill, but the FORUM bill does not include punishment. Where do you get the idea that they are the same bills? Didn't the FORUM Act specifically protect counter-protest which would PROTECT students on campus?

Final Presidential debate to simulcast for free at Wealthy Theatre
Holly Bechiri
Wealthy Theatre is providing a community viewing of the fourth Presidential debates Monday night. The Rapidian's politics beat will be meeting beforehand to discuss local coverage in upcoming month.
Underwriting support from:
The first debate this year was also simulcast at Wealthy Theatre /Erin Wilson
This Monday, October 22 at 9:00 p.m., the Community Media Center (CMC) will present a simulcast of the final presidential debate at Wealthy Theatre (1130 Wealthy Street SE), an historic theatre in the Wealthy corridor. President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney will be debating on the topic of foreign policy, with Bob Shieffer, host of Face the Nation on CBS, moderating.
The theatre provides a large-screen presentation of the broadcast event with the community, and looks to foster a neutral and non-partisan arena for the event.
"We ask folks to avoid booing any candidate or statement, to ensure everyone in the theatre feels welcome. The events are non-partisan, which is unique among viewing parties. Some folks would rather watch the debates at home, others prefer a view party with a definite political affiliation - but it turns out there are many people who want to see the debates in a neutral environment. We're happy that the CMC can fill this need," says theatre director Erin Wilson.
The first presidential debate was also simulcast at Wealthy Theatre. The event this time will be quite similar, with one new addition to the plans.
"Simulcasting the debates allows us to enhance that conversation, for those drawn to experience this part of the electoral process together, in one space. We are exploring ways to further that interactivity, with a second screen for Twitter conversations that take place in realtime. It's not often that we actually encourage people to use their phones during an event," says Wilson.
Preceeding the event, Wealthy Theatre is providing a space for Rapidian politics beat members to discuss their own coverage of the upcoming local elections. The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. and all are welcome to join.
The politics beat, a group of passionate citizen reporters that work together to ensure coverage of local government issues and elections, is preparing to provide a series of informational articles about politician's standings on issues, in an effort to assist informed voting on local ballots. The politics beat is looking for additional members of the community to join them, and invite anyone of various political persuasions joining them in their work to keep Grand Rapids citizens informed.
To offset costs for the simulcast debate event, which is free to the public, donations will be accepted at the door. Doors open at 8:00 p.m., and the simulcast begins at 9:00 p.m.
The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community's support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.
If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.
Please support The Rapidian and make a contribution today.

Bachelors of Art: Married to Music
Posted on December 20, 2015 by Zeroto180
The dissolution of Cincinnati's The Ferns by 1985 would find Rick Mosher in common cause with keyboardist Tim Miller (ex-Dog Pound). Rick & Tim's new musical unit would play out live around town – but eventually grow weary of Cincinnati's fairly provincial views with regard to modern sounds in popular music. The situation would come to a head.
Mosher in a candid moment – early 1980s
As Mosher recounts:
"We left Cincy in 87 and never returned. We could not afford to live in MA, so we
lived in NH and commuted in for gigs. The scene was way different than Cincy;
you played one 45-minute set, usually with three other bands. You started on
Tuesday nights and had to work your way up to weekends by drawing crowds.
No one got paid until you made the weekend rotation, and then you were lucky if
you got $50. It was a blast playing in front of strangers in a big city! We made it to
the weekends within a year or so, headlined occasionally."
Before leaving town, however, the band (possibly Mosher) came up with a brilliant name: Bachelors of Art.
(L to R) Rick Mosher, Mark Richards, Jim Faris, Tim Miller
The unmarried musicians, with Mosher as principal songwriter, would set to work on recording songs for their debut album, Bag.
"I wrote all of the songs on Bag, and we recorded the whole thing on a ½ inch Tascam reel to reel. We dedicated one track to SMPTE [timecode] so we did not have to record keys to tape. The drums were mixed to stereo and the vocals got two tracks."
"'No Reaction' was written about girls and not getting recognition as a band. I am
sure you can hear the lead section is directly ripped off from [Bram Tchaikovsky's] 'Girl of my Dreams'! I was pretty happy about how that song came out given our limitations. I think it has one of the best drum sounds on the record."
[Pssst: Click on triangle above to play "No Reaction" by Bachelors of Art]
"'Safe to Be Alone' was written after I read a book [1987's And the Band Played On] by Randy Shilts about the AIDS crisis. I was pretty moved by the story, which documented how the disease made its way to the US and how it spread throughout our continent."
[Pssst: Click on triangle above to play "Safe to Be Alone" by Bachelors of Art]
The Bachelors would play in the Boston and NYC areas primarily over the next 7 years – even playing at storied CBGB's, as Mosher's ReverbNation bio notes. "We had been in Boston for a couple of years when Bag came out," says Mosher, "It opened some doors for us. We found a lawyer who worked pro-bono and eventually recorded a second project [1992's G] in a real recording studio."

1994 Bachelors of Art cassette EP
Mosher and Miller, moreover, "put together an exceptional recording studio, Binery Studio, and recorded many bands through 2006," as reports ReverbNation.
The Bachelors – alas and alack – would part ways in 1994.
Unfinished Business: Zero to 180's Q&A with Rick Mosher
Q: At any point in the group's history did band members ruin the story line by getting married?
A: Tim got married first! There were three bachelors in the group still, so we did not take issue. When we finished pursuing the original scene, the final members of the band learned 60 covers and got a regular gig in VT playing ski lodges, very lucrative. We changed our name then to "the good timin', hot-doggin', ski party band!"
Q: Your joining The Max brought a modern pop aesthetic to what had been a power trio "jamming" approach. The Max's evolution into The Ferns would allow you to embrace a more structured, modern rock path. How you describe the change in artistic direction from The Ferns to the Bachelors of Art?
A: Well, The Raisins had a huge influence on everyone, especially me. Going to music school for college also opened up the world of theory to me, which had a big influence on my writing. I am still convinced that some day I will be able to craft a 12-tone pop song! I was always a big fan of groups like the Eagles and The Who etc, which also influenced my writing and playing style.

Q: Looking back, what are your jazz impressions of the Boston music scene in the late 1980, early 1990s when the Bachelors were plying their art? What favorite covers did the band enjoy playing?
A: We played some 80s classics given our instrumentation – The Cure, Blue Nile – and our drummer at the time was a big fan of Canadian music, so we played stuff that I had never hear, Blue Rodeo for one. We always played one cover in our one set just to get a read on the crowd.
Q: With regard to your latest work, how long did it take for you to write and record these songs?
A: I did "release" something new two years ago — the album was released under the name Dean and was called "Closer" after the title track. I feel very good about the recording, though it took too long to complete – two years! I feel overall it represents some of my best songwriting and playing. Tim [Miller] is on it somewhat, and I played with a solid drummer [Tom Evans] and excellent bass player [Clayton Young]. Unfortunately, scheduling became difficult, so after awhile, I ended up doing most of the vocals. Tim played keys, me on guitars, keys, harmonica, and dobro. It was a lot of fun to make and reflected my transition from marriage to being single and the changes in the structure with the kids, who were pretty young at the time.
Richardson & Miller once substituted subversive lyrics in 2nd grade singalong
ReverbNation adds a little more to the story: – :
"Dean was formed in 1999 as a solo project. The first release was more of an EP, with 7 songs, and Rick played pretty much everything. After working through some major life transitions, death and divorce to name a few, Rick wrote a batch of songs, which were finally recorded and mixed this year."

6/9 Chords, Maj 7ths, and Tritones
With the departure of founding members, Michael Andrew Frank & Keith Bortz, and the arrival of the two Ricks — Mosher & Haller — plus new drummer, Bob Mitchell, who was (get this) from a different high school, The Max had evolved into The Ferns.by 1983, most historians would agree, with bassist Chris Richardson being the lone member (though not initially) from the original Max and the Bluegills era. This change in personnel would result in a pronounced shift away from blues-based improvisation and toward tighter songcraft with a more contemporary rock sound.
The Ferns, as it turned out, would largely be a summertime configuration that was active between college semesters. As Mitchell expounds:
"The Ferns were interesting because we were nineteen or twenty years old playing original songs in bars and clubs, songs that were written mostly by Rick and Rick. Great songs, but unfamiliar originals nonetheless. Therefore, the sizes of the audiences were never a serious threat to the fire code limits. We did cover The Clash, Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello and [Bruce] Springsteen.
"There was never a shortage of gigs with Newbs [Tom Newbold] as our Manager. He used to make flyers and posters that looked like ransom notes (different letters and pictures cut out of magazines and glued together). Then he would staple them to every telephone pole in Clifton. The venues I recall playing were Shipley's, B.W. Talgoods, Bogart's, and The Jockey Club."
Note "ironic" use of kitschy album cover + Star Wars spoof – with Haller as Chewie
It would be a stretch to say The Ferns were contemporaries of The Raisins
Yes, The Ferns had somehow given someone the slip at Newport, KY's beloved and bedraggled punk venue, The Jockey Club, and once played a set of their modern rock originals without incident there.

Rick Haller (music) and Bob Mitchell (lyrics) would collaborate on a song – "Every" – that The Ferns would record on glorious one-inch tape at a 16-track recording facility adjacent to Cincinnati's legendarily-industrious Mill Creek Valley in the late summer of 1984.
[Pssst: Click on triangle above to play "Every" by The Ferns]
Rick Haller: Guitar & vocals
Rick Mosher: Guitar & vocals
Bob Mitchell: Drums & vocals
Chris Richardson: Bass
Mitchell recalls the creative process:
"I wrote the lyrics of 'Every' to address all the girls I had fallen for at that point, real and fictional, as if they were one person. Rick Haller wrote a nice melody for it. And, he had the best singing voice of all of us."
One's ears cannot help but be drawn to the shimmering 6/9 and Major 7th chords being expressed by guitarists Haller and Mosher, in case you're wondering precisely what that is tickling your ear. Richardson also points out that it was actually Mosher who came up with the sweet, string-bending bass line on the chorus that helps tease out the "Major 7-ness" of the C Maj 7 chord.
Fern "creation myth" crafted by Manager, Tom Newbold
The Ferns would delight in the considerable leap in technical sophistication at Cincinnati's Reel Pro sound studio — a markedly superior experience to past recording efforts and one that stands.out in Mosher's mind to this day:
"I remember there was a separate drum booth, very tight quarters. I think the board was a small Trident? The engineer knew his room well, and I agree, I am still blown away by the fidelity. The engineer had a friend in watching the mix, and on 'Nice Try,' he used a slap back echo on the snare — he also manually panned the octave guitar part during the "what do you think" section! This was also, I think, the first time we double tracked vocals, and I think we did some form of that on every song! We recorded this at the end of one summer, I think the final mix was completed the night before I went back to Syracuse. It was a great, creative experience in my recollection!"
Another Newbold notable — with sales pitch for Ferns 45
But alas – as Mitchell remembers – the group would not hold together much longer:
"It was the end of the summer of 1984, and we were all going back to our respective colleges. That was it. After we recorded these songs, I don't think The Ferns ever played together again."
Mitchell would subsequently form a new group, (pre-Snoop) Dog Pound ("after The Ferns wilted"), with Haller and bassist Newbold (a 'protege' of Richardson, who gave lessons to the future Fern manager in exchange for 6-packs of Tab cola and lyrics to Raisins songs written primarily from memory), along with – foreshadowing – keyboardist, Tim Miller (trivia: Richardson's second-grade classmate). Mitchell would later join forces briefly with tight Cincinnati power pop trio, The Castaways.

Principal songwriter, Rick Mosher, meanwhile, would be preparing to make his big move eastward…
Ferns & Tritones at Cincinnati's Bogart's — Next friday: male fantasy show
The Tritone, as I would learn, is the interval exactly halfway between (i.e., 3 whole steps) a root note and its octave. Together, the root (e.g., C) and its augmented 4th (F#), or flatted-fifth (however you want to look at it), make for a sinister pairing of notes (commonly known as "the devil's interval"). Dr. Willliam Irwin, in his October 31, 2012 piece on Psychology Today's website, "Black Sabbath and the Secret of Scary Music: The Devil's Interval – Is Evil in the Ear of the Beholder?" would point out the irony of heavy metal's lumpen reputation, given its origin in the complex and intelligent realm of classical music:
"From the opening riffs of the song 'Black Sabbath' through most of their classic albums, the music can sound downright evil. It shouldn't be surprising then that the secret to this sound is something known as the Devil's Interval or diabolus in musica. The sound is so ominous that this interval was supposedly banned by clerics in the Middle Ages for fear that it would raise the devil himself. Still, what actually makes this musical interval sound evil? The diabolus in musica is also known as a tritone (or diminished fifth). Spanning three [whole] tones, the interval violates a musical convention and sounds dissonant, producing an unsettling feeling in the listener.
"You might suspect that the boys in Black Sabbath rediscovered this tritone in a dusty old tome and purposely used it to create a sinister sound. But no. The tritone came to them by way of classical music. Geezer Butler was a fan of The Planets, an orchestral suite by the composer Gustav Holst. On the day before Tony Iommi came up with the epoch-making riff for the song 'Black Sabbath' Butler played 'Mars, the Bringer of War' on his bass. Guess what figures prominently in 'Mars'? The tritone. It must have stuck in Iommi's subconscious because out it came the next day. The tritone became a signature element of Black Sabbath's music and a mainstay in later heavy metal music."
1983 Ferns 45 proves that Keith Bortz initially served as the band's percussionist!

Ferns Trivia: Six Raisins of Separation
Legendary Cincinnati band, The Raisins – who would exert a strong influence over the group's overall sound and musical sensibility – played matchmaker in bringing together The Ferns, when Raisin keyboardist, Ricky Nye, in fact, introduced Mitchell to Mosher during a break at a Raisins gig.

Maximum Schlock & Roll
Drummer Keith Bortz of The Max – formerly Max and the Bluegills – was instrumental (so to speak) in getting permission to stage a concert in the group's high school auditorium on a Friday afternoon in April, 1981. Students were gouged at the door — one-dollar admission! Cannot recall whether band members received a cut of the gate (not to mention whether the boys even divvied up the proceeds with pre-headliner, Trilogy).

The previous year, the group secured its first paid gig as entertainment for the bar mitzvah party of our high school counselor's son (again, entirely due to Keith Bortz's negotiations). $225 divided by three players — never again would The Max even come close to earning that much money in a single engagement. Although it wasn't for lack of trying: the band once placed an ad in The American Israelite as a bar mitzvah rock band – only to discover their name misspelled as Max and the Gluegills!

No doubt about it, The Max (as the school paper's arts critic would note) would suffer from "intonation" problems, the group's vocals would be "mediocre," and tightness, indeed, "did not abound when outstanding rhythms were attempted." Fortunately, the audience managed to enjoy itself (i.e., inmates running the asylum) despite the band's failings.

And yet one magical evening, the original power trio would channel the spirits and rise above their youthful inexperience for an extended moment in time. The three musicians would exult in triumph later when they played back their home-spun recording, assured that (for once) the band had something fairly worthwhile on tape … only to discover that the tape had run out prematurely! The boombox, alas, would only capture 2 minutes 20 seconds of an especially inspired Max & the Bluegills performance:

Interestingly enough, "I Think I Love You" — the Max & the Bluegills song featured in the previous post — had already been recorded the year prior at the (no-frills) sound facility inside classical radio's WGUC-FM, located on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. The 2-hour recording session had been a birthday present from the station's public relations director and mother of Zero to 180 founder, Chris Richardson.

Early 80s Cincinnati Power Ballad
If it's true that Aerosmith invented the "power ballad" in 1973 with their prom-rock classic, "Dream On," then let history take note that Cincinnati teen rockers – Max & the Bluegills – would enter a sound studio 8 years later to record their own aching power ballad about unrequited love's endless torment.
Zero to 180 would thus like to celebrate its 3rd birthday in nepotistic (and bittersweet) fashion with what proved to be the swansong of its founder's high school rock group:

"I Think I Love You" is a personal plea written just a couple short years before the singer's departure to Boston's Berklee School of Music, where his art would explode into a dazzling multitude of vectors (as celebrated in this Zero to 180 piece from July, 2015).

By this point, the band (whose name had been shortened to simply The Max to save time) would find its original power trio – Michael Frank, Keith Bortz & Chris Richardson – augmented by second guitarist, Rick Mosher. But alas, 1981 would see Bortz and Mosher take their final high school.exam — and the band their final bow by year's end.

2nd anniversary piece that refuses to acknowledge the milestone but instead celebrates the under-sung legacy of songwriter and session musician, Joe South – with a link to South's first 45, a novelty tune that playfully laments Texas's change in status as the nation's largest state upon Alaska's entry into the Union.

Q: How do I change the root folder that a node module will look for? I have a nodejs app. Inside this app, I have a secondapp and I use vhost to use one or other. The problem is: my second app uses a node module that needs a config file (file.json). This module look for this file in the root folder. However, the module is looking at the root folder of the project (the root app), and I want that the module look at the root folder of the SecondApp.
So, the "somenodemodule" is using the "file1.json". But I want to use the "file2.json". How can I change the root folder that the "somenodemodule" will look for?
This is the code of the root app:
var express = require('express');
const app = express();
var http = require('http').Server(app);
var path = require('path');
var connect = require('connect')
var vhost = require('vhost')

var secondapp = require('./secondapp/app');

app.use(vhost('secondapp.com', secondapp));

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.send('Homepage First App');
});

var porta = process.env.PORT || 3000;

http.listen(porta, function(req) {
    console.log("servidor rodando");
})

This is the code of the secondApp:
var express = require('express');
const app = express();
var http = require('http').Server(app);
var somenodemodule = require('somenodemodule');
var path = require('path');

var secondapp = somenodemodule();

app.use(secondapp);

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.send('Homepage Second App');
});

module.exports = app;

And this if my folder structure:

#2,741. Hooper (1978) - Quentin Tarantino Recommends
Quentin Tarantino has stated that his chief inspiration for the characters of Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth (played, respectively, by Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt) in 2019's Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood was the long-time partnership between actor Burt Reynolds and his good friend, stuntman-turned-filmmaker Hal Needham.
Needham, who was Reynolds' stunt double in such early '70s movies as White Lightning and Gator, went on to direct some very popular action-comedies, most starring his good buddy Burt. So it's only fitting that their second collaboration as actor and director, after the 1977 Box-Office smash Smokey and the Bandit, would be Hooper, a movie in which Burt plays… a Hollywood stuntman!
Sonny Hooper (Reynolds) is believed by many to be the best working stuntman in all of Tinseltown. His reputation as the greatest is threatened, however, with the arrival of young hotshot Delmore Shidski (Jan-Michael Vincent), who Sonny nicknames "Ski".
Ski, it seems, is willing to take risks, performing stunts that have never been attempted before. As for Sonny, both his girlfriend Gwen (Sally Field) and his best buddy Cully (James Best) are pushing him to retire. But when Ski suggests that he and Sonny attempt a long-distance car jump for their new movie, one that will shatter the previous record, Sonny jumps at the opportunity to be part of it, despite the fact that one more injury might just put him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life!
Like Smokey and the Bandit before it, Hooper is fun with a capital "F", an action / comedy that doesn't skimp on either. Reynolds is as charismatic and lovable as ever playing the cocky Hooper, a guy who knows his best days are behind him but wants to show his new young colleague why he's still top dog, and some of the stunts his character performs throughout the movie are, indeed, exciting. In an early scene, he has to zip line over a city street while carrying a dog!
In addition to Reynolds, Hooper boasts a talented supporting cast. Jan-Michael Vincent, Sally Field, and James Best are superb, as are Robert Klein (as egotistical director Roger Deal), Brian Keith (Jocko, a former stuntman and Gwen's father), John Marley (producer Max Burns), Alfie Wise (as Roger Deal's diminutive assistant), and Adam West (as himself, the star of the movie in production). Also turning up in a cameo is football great Terry Bradshaw as an off-duty cop who mixes it up with Sonny during a barroom brawl.
As for the final stunt, the car jump across a collapsed bridge, it is phenomenal, not to mention nerve-racking as hell; Sonny was told by his doctors that his back can't take another concussion, brining an added level of tension to the entire sequence.
Needham and Reynolds would go on to make several more movies together, including Smokey and the Bandit II, The Cannonball Run (a personal favorite of mine) and Stroker Ace (which is abysmal), but their first two collaborations as actor and director - Smokey and the Bandit and Hooper - would be their best.

Chaos, choice, cartel. The success of the x86 market is largely due to taking the middle path between the two extremes. This has been done by organizing itself around a set of standards: architectural, and operational. The trick with standards is to make them strict enough for interoperability, loose enough for competitive diversity, and open enough to avoid proprietary monopoly. The standard, not the originator, is important.
The early history of the PC had IBM as the main standard. It thought it was more important than the standard and changed it to shut out all others, only to find itself on a proprietary limb. Even then, the platform proved bigger than its creator.
Just as one does not require Intel, but Intel-compatibility, this market does not require Windows; but Windows-compatibility. Right now, there is only one source for that, unlike any other standard in the x86 world. While this is, it does not have to be.
The primary benefits to the x86 platform from Microsoft have come from the standards Microsoft have set. This does not mean they must be the sole providers anymore than Intel had to be the only CPU manufacturer. Would the x86 platform be better off if Intel sold all processors? If not, then why are we better off with an OS monopoly of that standard?
Why is it good to have competition under the various PC standards, but bad when it comes to the OS standard? Why should Microsoft, and only Microsoft be the exception to that competitive rule? If proprietary standards are good for the OS, why stop there? If it is good for the OS, why not the processor industry or the BIOS industry or any other part of the x86 industry? There is a company that takes this path. It is called Apple. Should this the new preferred role model?
A judge has ruled that Microsoft has pervasively abused its monopoly power. The general picture that emerges is not one of a champion of innovation but rather more like the Borg, assimilating useful parts from others and destroying that which they do not.
Must the x86 market pay the price of a such a Microsoft monopoly to benefit from an OS standard, or can we do better?
We can. As part of any judgment, make available the code that makes an OS Windows-compatible to all interested parties. License it, just as so much other technology, so as many other standards in the x86 world are licensed. Give competitors the chance to show their innovations while allowing customers to continue to use their current software. Should not those demanding the freedom to innovate welcome such a competition?
One cannot rationally demand freedom to innovate to further the general interest while systematically using one's power to deny others that freedom. So many preach the virtues of free enterprise until it applies to them.
Why should one trust a single company to always know and do the right thing any more than a single political party? Why is a monopoly of political power by a Communist party bad for the people, but a monopoly of computer power by Microsoft good? If many suspect political parties or government of acting in its own interests, why would a company be any different? Due to its nature, they would have much reason to be worse.
Is Microsoft the only company that can innovate? If innovation is so highly prized, why does it spend so much time and effort squelching the innovative efforts of others, either by buying them or by cowing others out of supporting them? Does anyone believe there would be less innovation if Microsoft somehow vanished from the face of the earth tomorrow?
Those who call for computer Darwinism neglect to point out that it is often not the fittest species, but the fattest bankroll or best power source that survives. If communism is an excessive form of government, monopoly is an excessive form of capitalism. Like most ideological extremes, they often lead to the same results. Both fear competition and try to stop it.
The benefits of free enterprise to a society depend on competition. It is only through competition that companies moderate their natural desire to make the most money from the least effort. Competition fuels innovation, and provides consumers with the best possible good at the least possible price. When competition ends, companies become slack. Consumers pay more and get less than they would otherwise.
It is government's proper role to take a broader perspective than that of a company's shareholders; to ensure that the public interest is considered as well as the private. Competition is good for the public interest, bad for private interest. Monopoly is the opposite.
What is good for Microsoft is not automatically good for America or the world. It would not be any more communistic to regulate a monopolistic Microsoft than it would be to regulate a monopolistic but privately owned power company or other utility, but we can achieve the same with less intrusion. To allow open access to Windows would be no different than allowing access to PCI or RDRAM or any of the other PC standards, or allowing companies like MCI or Sprint access to local phone lines. It would bolster competition, it would bolster free enterprise, it would bolster innovation.
Does this "punish" success? If any or all rules constitute "punishment," then of course it does. We also punish successful murderers more than failures. Is that also unfair?
We punish natural monopolies by regulating them. We punish economically successful people or companies by taxing them more than poor people or companies. We do this because we as a society believe there are other values to be weighed besides unfettered success, and we regulate and tax even if the people or companies have not broken a single law. How much more so is the case when they have?
A society has the inherent right to set rules of behavior. This society has set rules Microsoft, at least in the opinion of one judge, has broken. Should that finding be upheld, is Microsoft not only above competition, but above the rule of law? If Microsoft does not like the rules set forth by a society, it can decide not to do business with that society, as did many businesses with apartheid South Africa. It can decide to vacate the premise, much as many Hong Kong corporations prior to the turnover of the territory to China. It can try to persuade those who make the laws to change them. But it does not have the right to consider itself a law onto itself, or consider its own success a good overriding all others.

A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive or fixed disk is a data storage device used for storing and retrieving digital information using one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. The platters are paired with magnetic heads arranged on a moving actuator arm, which read and write data to the platter surfaces. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order rather than sequentially. An HDD retains its data even when powered off.

That's why the Chrysler Pacifica offers an available hands-free power liftgate and hands-free power sliding side doors.
The Chrysler Pacifica has seats for seven in the standard configuration, and it can be increased to eight if you get the second-row middle seat that comes available. Cloth seats come standard, but available are leather seats, also heated and ventilated front and second-row seats. There are eight-way power-adjustable front seats that are available; the front seats have plenty of room, and there's enough leg- and headroom as well.
Pacifica Interior
In its class, the Pacifica has one of the nicest cabins. It has high-quality materials and an elegant dashboard. It has sufficient insulation to keep the cabin quiet, even at highway speeds.
StationChryslerJeep.com
The Chrysler Pacifica offers the available Uconnect Theater, which features games and apps on the dual touchscreens. Customers will have access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and it has an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Connect any mobile device, and you can make calls, send and receive messages, get directions, and much more.
Safety Features and Warranty
When out on the open road, nothing is more important than passengers security and safety.

TOLEDO, OH, May 20, 2014 – Grammy winning recording artist, actor and filmmaker Ice-T has adds his efforts to the growing roster of notables helping the Ohio-based nonprofit program Veterans Matter to house many of the over 57,000 veterans living on the streets and in shelters.
"Thousands of veterans are homeless and living veterans on the streets of our nation tonight. Streets where they are being beaten, robbed, even killed. Let's take care of our own." said Ice-T of the Veterans Matter campaign to house veterans.
"Cumulus, the artists, and all of those involved with Veterans Matter, are examples of how we, as Americans, are just pitching in to do one small part to help house even one more veteran," says Leslie.
"When I told the veteran this has happened and he received his key to the apartment he became tearful and said, "I have been homeless for several years and thought this would never happen, ever." Later I dropped him off at the library. He called about 20 minutes later and said, "I just realized that I have a key to my own place, I know where I am going to be sleeping tonight. It is like the stress of the last several years has been lifted off my shoulders at once. Thank you so much for helping me." This IS why we do what we do. You and Veterans Matter are such a huge part of this and I thank you so much!" – Larry S., VA social worker, Bloomington, Indiana.

Escrow and corporate trustee arrangements allow a trusted third party to hold the assets until all the terms of the transactions are met. We can support you throughout this process with our comprehensive suite of escrow and corporate trust services.
Our range of services also covers the management of corporate trusts. Such corporate trusts are implemented via the temporary (99 year's max.) ownership transfer of assets or rights in a dedicated estate managed by a trustee. Banks or debt funds require the setup of such trusts to efficiently secure credit repayment. It also provides corporate borrowers with better access to debt capital, especially when time is at a premium (Collateral Corporate Trusts). Alternatively, such transfers aim at monitoring the management of assets via a reputable third party manager for a wide variety of situations (family company shareholding issues, transition management needs, special account cash management, Real Estate SPV etc.) (Management Corporate Trusts).
Provide corporate trust structures to meet your business requirements.
Documentation review (corporate trust agreement and ancillary. documentation drafted by signing parties 'counsels).
Accounting and audit of trust assets on a yearly basis.
Management of assets according to the trustee's mission (bespoke mandate: hands off to hands on management of the assets & rights).
Our professionals provide transaction and accounting support, from the structuring phase straight through to the closing, for a range of structured finance transactions and associated corporate structures and underlying assets.
We establish financing and holding structures, including special purpose vehicles, to hold your aircraft. Once your deal has been executed, we can then manage your special purpose vehicle's corporate compliance and, corporate governance.

Thoughts on Corner Vanity Set?


Yes, when he was 2 years old, we were cuddling/wrestling in bed. He zigged, I zagged and BAM there you have it. He is currently almost 7, a little man with a heart the size of Dallas and Fort Worth. He has taught me so many lessons. After three daughters and one granddaughter, he is my first boy. He can bounce off concrete and keep going, is quite the wheeler dealer in monopoly and loves to fall asleep watching TV in my lap. So a special guy needs a special stocking…..
I love stockings from Liz Goodrick Dillon. To date I have finished 16 of them. For Trace it was a study in turkey work and beading. I wanted his stocking to be elegant, but then also something for concrete bouncing superhero. Santa's coat called for a lot of beading and couching down Krenik threads.
Turkey work is tough for a lot of people, but there is nothing like it for effect. My only secrets are: Don't give up, make your loops big and cut a little at a time…you can't put it back on !
So if you have bigger loops, when you cut them you can actually carve the thread. Over the next couple of blogs you will meet more of my cast of characters, our escapades and adventures and of course, their stockings and other projects. Please remember that all canvases can be purchased from my website pasttimesneedlepoint.com or by calling 361.572.0088.


Today I got 99 defense and just before getting it I got the defense pet, Wallace, and all I have to say is that THIS THING IS THE CUTEST PET EVER. Really nice job Jagex, this thing is so freakin adorable.
Congrats! I don't think I've seen one of these yet, but he looks cute from the pictures I found.

Quotes by Rachel Cusk
"As it happened, I was no longer interested in literature as a form of snobbery or even self-definition. I had no desire to prove that one book was better than another; in fact, if I read something I admired, I found myself increasingly disinclined to mention it at all. What I knew personally to be true had come to seem unrelated to the process of persuading others. I did not, any longer, want to persuade anyone of anything."
― Rachel Cusk, Outline
"What Ryan had learned from this is that your failures keep returning to you, while your successes are something you always have to convince yourself of."
"Sometimes it has seemed to me that life is a series of punishments for such moments of unawareness, that one forges one's own destiny by what one doesn't notice or feel compassion for; that what you don't know and don't make the effort to understand will become the very thing you are forced into knowledge of."

Graduation for All: Impacting 160,000 • www.idra.org • July 2012
"The work ahead—to assure that each child graduates from high school, well prepared for the future—could not be more urgent. The well-being of our children and communities hangs in the balance. Fortunately, from the classroom to the boardroom to the capitol to the kitchen table, we have the capacity to make sure that all our children succeed." - Dr. María Robledo Montecel, IDRA President & CEO, The Future of Education: Lessons Learned from the Coca-Cola Valued Youth Program, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2009
The 2011-12 school year marks the 28th year of the Coca-Cola Valued Youth Program. The Coca-Cola Valued Youth Program is a dropout prevention program with a twist: middle and high school students who are considered at risk of dropping out are engaged as tutors of younger children. Youth are valued and supported as they take up this challenge, and, in turn, their leadership shines though. Since 1984, the program has been implemented in 550 schools and has impacted 160,390 students (32,078 tutors and 128,312 tutees) in Brazil, the United Kingdom, the United States and Puerto Rico. Extensively tested, using a longitudinal, quasi-experimental design, and rigorously evaluated since its inception, this award-winning program has keeps 98 percent of its participating tutors in school.
But those are just the numbers. The tutors tell it best in their own way.
Each year, IDRA holds a national essay contest, inviting students to share their experiences as tutors. In this issue of Graduation for All, we've tried to pack in as many excerpts from the 2012 award-winning essays as we could.
To see this issue in Spanish.
Share this issue on Facebook or Twitter. As always, we welcome your comments at gradforall@idra.org.
"Like a glass slowly cracking, I was starting to get the concept of school. I was starting to think of what would happen if I didn't get my high school diploma or if I didn't get enough credits. Would I have to work at a fast food place all my life? The more I went to Alex's school, the more I thought about this kind of stuff. I started trying harder in school, striving for A's and B's, and my teachers took notice." - Lanala Hayes, High School First Place, Phillis Wheatley High School, Houston
"Being part of this program has also helped me develop leadership skills. I have learned that these younger students depend on me to be a good example for them. This helps me follow the correct path, because if I make a mistake it will not only affect me but will affect those that look up to me." - Rashaard Sheats, Middle School, Honorable Mention, John F. Kennedy Middle School, Atlanta
"I put myself in their shoes and witnessed how it was a struggle to be a teacher...The hardest thing is to make sure they are learning and capturing what you are talking about. That's the hardest obstacle in tutoring. But with time and patience, the students will understand. This program has also helped me stay on track with my education. I see all the little children eager to learn and that shows me that I shouldn't let go of opportunities that easily."- Omar Galvan, High School Third Place, E.L. Furr High School, Houston
"I was very nervous to start school because my English was not fluent. I felt like I was going to fail all my classes. And we didn't have the money to buy me new clothes like some of the other kids had. I often held my head down, almost ashamed of being myself or having others know where I came from. [Then] I was assigned to a teacher where I would have three kids [to tutor] who were impatient, stubborn and easily distracted – sort of like me in my regular classes. I soon began to comprehend that my behavior in school was something that needed to change because I was affecting not only my classmates and teachers, but also myself. I noticed that my behavior started improving, my patience level went up, and my grades soon started climbing. But best of all, my English language skills started improving simply by being a tutor for someone." - Pedro Sanchez, Middle School Third Place, Dr. Javier Saenz Middle School, La Joya, Texas
"I have had the opportunity to experience, first hand, what it is like to be a teacher, to be in control without having to lose your temper, and how it feels to be the person helping someone to prepare them for their future. As the oldest of four younger siblings and cousins, I definitely needed this experience to learn to become a better role model/sister to younger kids." - Brittney Solomon, High School Honorable Mention, James Madison High School, Houston
"Since I became a tutor I've been treated differently by elders. They treat me like I'm one of them which is pretty cool. Being a tutor gives me clues of what I'm going to be when I grow up."- Emily Duran, Middle School Honorable Mention, Memorial Middle School, La Joya, Texas
"Since I've become a tutor I've been very proud of myself. While I tutor I have fun. I feel happy about being in this program…I love helping these kids because I feel [as if] they are actually learning." - Juanita Flores, Middle School Honorable Mention, J.D. Salinas Middle School, La Joya, Texas
"I need to be the best student I can be, so my fifth period teacher can trust me to go where I'm telling her I'm going and so I won't miss any instructions and fall behind. I also have to be on my best behavior so I can show my tutees the right path to go down. Not only am I helping them to do better in school, I'm helping them to develop the skills they need to succeed and learn the characteristics of a great leader." - Sade Harnsberry, High School Second Place, E.L. Furr High School, Houston
"I was slacking on school work. I didn't care about my grades which were F's, C's and D's. I have better grades now, I picked them up to A's, B's and a couple of C's, but still working on those C's." - Aylin Kovar, Middle School Honorable Mention, Alan B. Shepard Middle School, San Antonio
"Some didn't know how to read and I helped them. They helped me too." - Flor Rivera, Middle School, Honorable Mention, Irene M. García Middle School, La Joya, Texas
"Starting the school year was not motivating for me. I figured I would be the same student as previous years...always in the principal's office, and always getting in trouble with my mom at home for not doing what she instructed me to do. However, I can honestly say that the Coca-Cola Valued Youth Program served as an intervention between my life and my education. Pre-kinder kids calling me "Ms. María" isn't something I thought I would ever hear. For once in a long time, I felt important, wanted and needed by someone in a positive way." - María Armendariz, Middle School First Place, Dr. Javier Saenz Middle School, La Joya, Texas
"I was afraid my friends would laugh at me and that at VYP they would make me do things that I didn't want to. The next day I reported to the VYP classroom with butterflies in my stomach. At that time, I didn't like little kids, and they never liked me either. My fears were quickly put to rest." - Josue Reyes, Middle School Honorable Mention, Ann Richards Middle School, La Joya, Texas
"There was one little boy that I adored…he had barely started school and he didn't know how to hold a pencil, or talk, or be a student. I started working with him. It was crumbly at first but we worked and worked really hard. Soon enough, he knew how to hold a pencil and write. I used to hate coming to school. Now I wake up early and do not want to miss the bus." - Atzhiry Gutierrez, Middle School Honorable Mention, César E. Chávez Middle School, La Joya, Texas
"I see a lot of myself in my tutees because I also used to struggle with math and reading. I notice that many times they look sad or frustrated with what they are trying to learn, so I jump in to put a smile on their faces…By seeing them smile, I too have come to forget a lot of my problems I have at home sometimes. They make me realize that I am needed and I am wanted by someone. I come to realize that problems are going to be everywhere, such as school and at home. It's just a matter of how I learn to deal with them and overcome them so I won't find myself in the same place I was at before." - Yamileth Gonzalez, Middle School Second Place, Dr. Javier Saenz Middle School, La Joya, Texas
"I used to be a student who didn't like school. Tutoring has helped me...When one of my students needs help, I can have the skills and the knowledge to help them. Since I have been in this program, I have become more responsible, focused and more open to learning. I see life differently now; it's not just to have fun and go out and do what you want. It's about doing something you love and you're good at—who knows maybe as a I graduate and go into college I might want to study to be a teacher." - Jacqueline Davis, High School Honorable Mention, South San Antonio High School, San Antonio

"After a month of them greeting me at the door with hugs and shouting my name when I walked in, I felt a change in me that I just couldn't figure out. What was wrong with me, or rather, what was right with me? I figured it out. My kids made me feel loved again. I could feel myself coming back." - Julie Alderete, Middle School Honorable Mention, Lorenzo De Zavala Middle School, La Joya, Texas
