Around the World in Eighty Days (Kobo eBook)
By Jules Verne
The story starts in London on Tuesday, October 1, 1872. Fogg is a rich English gentleman living in solitude. Despite his wealth, Fogg lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision. Very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club. Having dismissed his former valet, James Foster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 °F (29 °C) instead of 86 °F (30 °C), Fogg hires a Frenchman by the name of Jean Passepartout as a replacement.
At the Reform Club, Fogg gets involved in an argument over an article in The Daily Telegraph stating that with the opening of a new railway section in India, it is now possible to travel around the world in 80 days. He accepts a wager for £20,000 from his fellow club members, which he will receive if he makes it around the world in 80 days. Accompanied by Passepartout, he leaves London by train at 8:45 P.M. on Wednesday, October 2, 1872, and is due back at the Reform Club at the same time 80 days later, Saturday, December 21, 1872.

Floods Do Not Wash Away Hopes
January 8, 2018 • Save the Children
Rubina-Raut
Sponsorship Program Officer
Save the Children in Nepal-Bhutan
The August rains this year in Nepal proved to be one of the harshest the country has seen in years.
The day started just like any other day in Saptari, one of the sponsorship supported areas in the eastern region of Nepal – bright and sunny. But then, the sky was engulfed with dark clouds and wind, signs of approaching rain. The weather forecast warned of heavy rainfall. However, many, including me, went home in the evening with little thought about the impending damage. The rain got worse as the day went on.
A little before dawn, people chattering woke me up. Everyone, young and old, was wide awake. The water leaking through the closed doors was pooling inside my house, and my neighbor's houses. As we waited for the relief of daybreak, we piled up furniture to achieve some higher ground for our valuables.
As the light broke through, my hometown was looking more like a deep pond. The magnitude of destruction was immeasurable.
Children in Saptari taking refuge in temporary shelters while their homes are submerged in flood waters.
The flood washed away homes, belongings and crops as well, damaging families' livelihoods that were meant to last them throughout the year, in a series of continuous downpours. Homes, schools, hospitals and health posts were partially submerged in water. Everyone was searching for high elevation to take refuge. Families brought along with themselves anything they could save – most clutched their precious goats and cattle, their only source of livelihood left. It was really disheartening to see people, especially young carefree children, not having access to clean drinking water during this crisis.
Despite the damage, some of the children still seemed sunny and upbeat, as they swam and played, trying to fish in the new pools of flooded water.
Save the Children helped distribute tarps to around 1,000 affected households, to ensure families have a shelter above them, and shared over 800 hygiene kits – containing items like soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste, water purifiers, underwear and towels. Our goal was to ensure children could remain safe from preventable diseases, the prevalence of which rises dramatically during such natural disasters, because water can become contaminated easily.
Floods consuming a small village.
Children, among others, are more at risk in disasters like these. Physical as well as psychological shelter is an urgent need for children during emergencies. In addition to health kits and support in finding shelters, almost 500 children were provided student kits including learning materials like books and notebooks, replacing lost school supplies as the flood in Saptari gradually dries up.
Without sponsorship, none of this relief would have been possible. From my neighbors and I, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Do you have a family plan for when emergencies strike? Being prepared and organized goes a long way in times of crises. How does your family weather big storms?

Nosbaum, Romain
Every piece on this album by pianist Romain Nosbaum has a reference to the Portuguese word 'Saudades'. It embodies the desire for a place (Adios a Cuba, Asturias), the soul, the human being (Alma Brasiliera) or popular manifestations. The music usually has a close connection to dance and is very much connected to the human emotional world. Romain Nosbaum is an individualist among the pianists of his generation. Without airs and graces, but with modesty and passionate devotion, he is solely focused on music. Both the grand gesture and sheer brilliancy have no meaning to him – instead, his playing stands out through intelligence, subtle individuality and technical perfection. The subtlety and immediacy of his pianistics encourage Romain's repertoire, which focuses on the romantic piano literature as well as music of contemporary composers. A universal interest in 'tradition and innovation' expresses itself not only soloistically, but also through his activities as a passionate chamber musician. Thus, he regularly performs as a vocal accompanist with artists such as his sister Véronique. He is also a member of the Random Trio, which comes with the colorful instrumentation of flute, violoncello, and piano. Moreover, Romain is very involved in interdisciplinary projects such as Claude Mangen's staging of Schubert's Winterreise, Giorgio Mancini's live choreography A nima, or the musical readings of texts by Vaslav Nijinsky and Michel Houellebecq together with actor Christian Berkel and pianist Kevin Tamanini.

Memories of the Trainers' Show run deep for many
This year marks the 50th anniversary of one of the industry's most prominent events of the year, the Walking Horse Trainers' Association National Show. Each year, the best of the best come together for the show in Shelbyville, Tennessee to get the season rolling — and it's become a must stop on the agendas of many.
This year's event, managed by Dean Byard, kicks off March 22 through 24 at the Calsonic Arena. Judges include Kenny Smith, Jamie Bradshaw and Allen Forman, who will surely have their hands full with many quality contenders expected to perform.
The Trainers' Show has long been known for serving as an early season sneak peek at trainers and horses who will go on to win the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration in August.
In the show's 50-year history, 28 trainers have won the title at the Trainers' Show. Of those 28, 13 — or 26 percent — have gone on to win the World Grand Championship.
This year's show, each night, will feature special tributes to those winning trainers of the past. One of those honorees will be Bill Cantrell. Cantrell says it's hard to believe 25 years has gone by since he won the Trainers' Show with Ultra Copy.
It was indeed a special year for Bill Cantrell Stables, Inc.
"I showed Ultra Copy for the first time as an aged horse," Cantrell said. "He had already won the Three and Four-Year-Old World Grand Championships at the Celebration and in 1993 he was ready to move into the ranks of the aged competition.
"I remember it being one of the largest championship classes at the Trainers' Show … And I was so humbled and blessed to hear our names called out as winners."
Ultra Copy was a popular horse and he went on to be undefeated that show season and won his aged stallion preliminary division at the Celebration and returned the last Saturday night to be named reserve world grand champion.
"This was 25 years ago, and what is ironic is that I was WHTA president that year, in 1993. Fast forward 25 years later, and I am the WHTA president right now."
Memories from the Trainers' Show are plentiful. Just five years after Cantrell's win aboard Ultra Copy, in 1998, Tim Gray walked away with the stake win aboard Generator's Silver Dollar. He'll be among honorees this year, as will his father, the late and legendary Billy Gray. Billy Gray won the Trainers' Show twice in its history; once aboard Threat's Black Power (1975) and once aboard The Secret's Out (1987).
"One of the things Dad and I always looked forward to was showing off a good young horse there," said Tim, who is now pursuing a new life journey in ministry and counseling while also working for Dr. Jim Baum. "You might have a slanky two-year-old that really filled out over winter and make a big show at the Trainers' Show."
Even though Gray is embarking in a different direction, he still loves the Trainers' Show for being a platform for socializing, fellowship — a place where you "see the fever" come out after a long winter.
"The Tennessee Walking Horse … Dad would always say 'I don't care what anyone says, they shall overcome,'" Gray said. "And they will. They shall overcome. The horses, trainers and owners have worked hard to adapt and overcome. It doesn't matter if you're five or 96. This horse has something for everyone."
A few years after Tim Gray, Allan Callaway was in the spotlight for the final class of the 2001 Trainers' Show when he rode Pride's Jubilee Encore to victory. Callaway described the horse and the win as meaningful events in his prized career.
"That was a big win for the horse, no doubt about it," Callaway said. "He went on to win the Celebration that year, and I think the Trainers' Show paved the path for his success."
Though most would agree of the show's significance, Callaway shared a tidbit about the show's history that many might not know.
"Back in '69, when the Trainers' Show was in Nashville, we had the first 15.2 (and under) class for the walking horse industry, and I won that class with a horse called Mahagony's Sensation. I remember this because I remember going to a meeting to discuss whether or not to have the class. We didn't know how it would turn out but obviously it worked out well," he laughed.
Who could forget Bob McQuerry and The Pusher? Adding to the prestigious crop of winners making season debuts at the Trainers' Show, they captured the stake to the thrill of the masses in 1980. The Pusher had previously won the amateur world grand championship at the Celebration in 1979. Following the 1980 Trainers' Show win, he went on to capture the Reserve World Grand Championship.
"The year after that, in 1981, he won the World Grand Championship," McQuerry said. "He was a very easy horse to work; gifted with his front end. I always thought he was a horse that was sort of ahead of his time … One thing I always considered the Trainers' Show to be was a place where you could show your young horses, and if they did well you could start working your way toward the Celebration."
The year following The Pusher's win, Ronnie Spears earned his second of two Trainers' Show stake wins aboard Coco's Sensation (his first win came in 1974, with Another Masterpiece).
"They were both very nice horses who went on to do a lot of winning over the years," Spears said. "It was a real big honor to me and I'm glad I was able to be a part of it."
While known for the entertainment it provides the crowd as well as the platform to bring friends together after a long season apart, the Trainers' Show is equally known for being exactly what it is — a show for trainers. In fact, former walking horse trainer David Landrum credits the trainers for the show's success over the years.
"It's an important show, and a good show, because it's put on by the trainers themselves," Landrum said. "They understand the industry and what it takes to make a great show. This show sets the tone for the entire season — it's the Daytona 500 for the walking horse industry."
Landrum had many shares of wins over the years, although he only won the Trainers' Show once, in 2009, when he directed The Golden Sovereign to the tricolor finish.
"That was a special win," he said. "The Golden Sovereign is one of my all-time favorites. He's a great horse with great owners. He'd won all throughout his career before our win, but mainly in the amateur ranks, so him and I coming together for that win was special."
Among the 28 trainers who've achieved the ultimate victory at the Trainers' Show, 22 of them are still living, including Jimmy McConnell. McConnell has won the Trainers' Show more than any other trainer in history, an impressive six times to be exact.
"Well, I didn't realize I'd won it that many times," laughed McConnell. "Two or three of those horses I won with went on to win the Celebration, and I think that's the case with many who win the Trainers' Show. They'll win or at least do well … I'm looking forward to this year's show, and a great season. Things have been going really well and I think everyone is excited to get the season started. The Trainers' Show is about the biggest show besides the Celebration."

Spider–overview
Araneidae (Orb Weavers)
As the English name implies, these spiders build orb webs. The web has a closed hub and a signal thread leading to a retreat, for example, under an adjacent leaf. The spiders have strong teeth, which they use to chew on their prey and drench it with digestive juices. Finally, all that remains of the prey is an indefinable clot. In Europe about 140 species can be found.
Genus Aculepeira
Genus Agalenatea
Genus Araneus
Genus Araniella
Genus Argiope
Genus Cercidia
Genus Cyclosa
Genus Cyrtophora
Genus Gibbaranea
Genus Glyptogona
Genus Hypsosinga
Genus Larinia
Genus Larinioides
Genus Mangora
Genus Neoscona
Genus Nuctenea
Genus Parazygiella
Genus Singa
Genus Zilla
Genus Zygiella
The spiders of this genus can be distinguished from the other genera belonging to the Araneidae by the abdomen that has an elliptical shape with a typical leaf-like pattern. They build an orb web with a dense white felt-like weave within the hub. The dish-shaped retreat is lined with dense silk as well. In the same family a very similar genus exists: Neoscona. The spiders of this genus, however, are clearly smaller than those of the genus Aculepeira.
The red-brown abdomen of these spiders is broader than long and in some females it even looks circular. Like the other Araneidae they build a (large) orb web with a dense hub
The best known spiders undoubtedly belong to this genus, including the European Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus) which is probably known by everyone. The spiders build a large orb web, that sometimes can even be almost 50 cm in diameter. Some species have distinct shoulder lumps.
These spiders are easy to recognize by their green or greenish colour and dotted pattern on the abdomen. The species, however, are difficult to distinguish from each other. They build small orb webs in low vegetation and bushes.
The spiders of this genus are very striking, either by their yellow stripe pattern or by their lobed abdomen. They are large spiders (sometimes more than 20 mm). This applies to the females, males are often much smaller. They make big orb webs which often contain a zigzag shaped silk band (stabilimentum), which is also present in the webs of Cyclosa and Uloborus.
The spiders of Cercidia have an oval abdomen which is pointed at the front end. On the front part of the abdomen they have a scutum, which is more pronounced in males. They build a small orb-web close to the ground, which can easily be overlooked. The spider normally sits in the middle of the web waiting for prey, but at the slightest disturbance it will drop to the ground. Therefore they are more likely to be found on the ground. In Europe only one species of this genus occurs.
These spiders have a striking abdomen, posteriorly with one or four lumps. In addition, they sometimes have additional lumps on the frontside of the abdomen. They build an orb web with herein, as well as Argiope and Uloborus, a so-called stabilimentum. Remains of prey and other materials are often put there by Cyclosa . When the spider sits in between these materials it is hardly noticeable.
Although these spiders belong to the Orb Weavers, they do not build an orb web. The web they build is horizontally orientated and looks a bit like a fishing net surmounted by a tent-like structure. It is very complex. The spider therefore spends several nights weaving her web. The web is sometimes considered a precursor of the more simple orb web, as the intention of the horizontal orientation is to capture mainly jumping insects instead of flying ones. Orb webs, however, arose later in evolution to catch the insects that went airborne. In Europe, only one species within this genus occurs.
All spiders within this genus have clear shoulder parts with two lumps. They build their inconspicuous orb web in trees or bushes.
The genus Glyptogona contains only two species worldwide, from which one occur in Europe.
These nocturnal spiders build their orb webs in tall grass. They are small and their abdomen is always longer than wide; sometimes very elongated.
Larinioides often builds its orb web in the proximity of water. Males have similar, but more clear markings than females, a smaller abdomen and longer legs.
This small but unmistakable spider builds a tilted, almost horizontal orientated orb web in bushes and low vegetation. The web has a relatively large amount of spokes and turns, making it very fine-meshed. During the day, the spider usually can be found in the centre of the web.
Neoscona builds her orb web in diverse vegetation, such as heather or citrus trees, with a bag-shaped retreat in the proximity. In here the spider awaits her prey.
These spiders are very dark coloured and remarkably flat. The latter has to do with the retreat of the spider, which is located under the bark of a tree or in a narrow crack (e.g. in rocks or buildings). The nocturnal spider generally only leaves this retreat at dusk, to build an orb web.
These medium-sized spiders formerly belonged to the genus Zygiella. Therefore they are closely related to these species.
Genus Singa and Hypsosinga
The spiders of the genera Singa and Hypsosinga are also referred to as shiny spiders in the Dutch language (glansspinnen). This is due to their short-haired, high gloss body. The spiders are small and they predominantly build their orb webs in low vegetation in damp areas.
The abdomen of these remarkably small orb weavers sometimes protrudes so far over the carapace that it seems like the spider is headless as it sits in its web. The web is woven very densely, has no signal thread and no retreat. The spider sits in the centre of the web.
These spiders are easily distinguished from the other Araneidae, because their web often has an open sector. The signal thread runs behind this sector to the retreat of the spider. Usually this thread is located in the same plane as the web itself. This is not the case when the angle between the signal thread and the web becomes greater than about 40° by certain environmental influences (e.g. window frames, walls, rocks or bark). In that case the spider builds a complete orb web. Young spiders build a complete orb web as well.

Tiger Woods comes full circle with dad celebration at Masters
Life has come full circle for Tiger Woods.
22 years ago, in 1997, Woods won the Masters for his first career major. He was just 21 at the time, had recently turned pro, and became the youngest Masters winner ever. Woods celebrated his first career major win by hugging his late father Earl, who died in 2006.
22 years later, in 2019, Woods overcame an 11-year major slump to win his 15th career major. He won at Augusta National once again for his fifth career Masters. This time, his father Earl was no longer around. Instead, Tiger celebrated with his son, Charlie, who never met Earl and had never witnessed his father win a major.

"I'm at a loss for words," Tiger said of the situation. "My little boy Charlie … the embrace, it's just special."
Tiger is now 43 years old and still has time to try and tie Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 career majors. Jack has already offered his support to Tiger. For now, fans will enjoy Tiger finally being back on top.

Restructuring of Brahmaputra Board examined
GUWAHATI, Dec 11 � Union Minister for Water Resources Harish Rawat said the restructuring of the Brahmaputra Board is already under the consideration of his Ministry, according to an official press note.
In a letter to Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, Rawat said his Ministry has been examining the issues raised by Gogoi in his memorandum to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during the latter�s visit to Assam on April 20 this year.
Rawat said the draft document on restructuring of the Brahmaputra Board as Basin Level Organisation/Authority has been sent to north-eastern States including Brahmaputra Board for their views and a final decision on the matter would be taken after completion of a consultative process. On strengthening of the North Eastern Hydraulic and Allied Research Institute (NEHARI), Rawat said the Ministry is concerned with the issue and has directed the authorities concerned to expedite the matter.
Regarding Gogoi�s plea to enhance the funding pattern for Command Area Development works from 50:50 to 90:10 in respect of the Special Category States, including Assam, Rawat pointed out that the proposal to enhance the funding pattern during XII Plan is under consideration of the Ministry.
On the issue of a separate Research cum Training Institute in Guwahati raised by Chief Minister Gogoi, Rawat pointed out that there was no need for such a separate institute, as the Ministry has taken initiatives to make the North Eastern Regional Institute of Land and Water Management (NERIWALM) at Tezpur as a centre of excellence in the field of research, training and capacity building.
�A collaboration mechanism will be established between CWC, NWA and NERIWALM in various courses that can be conducted in the institute for training and capacity building of personnel engaged in water resources development and management. The facilities for training and capacity building in the institute will be further strengthened as and when need arises,� he pointed out.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (KU Athletics) Kansas redshirt junior Dedric Lawson has been named to the Associated Press (AP) 2018-19 preseason All-America team, as voted on by a 65-member national media panel, the AP announced Tuesday.
Joining Lawson on the AP preseason All-America team are: Carsen Edwards (Purdue), Luke Maye (North Carolina), R.J. Barrett (Duke), Ethan Happ (Wisconsin) and Caleb Martin (Nevada). There were also 15 other student-athletes who received votes.
Named Preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and Preseason All-Big 12 First Team earlier this month, Lawson sat out last season after transferring from Memphis. The Memphis, Tennessee, forward averaged 19.2 points and 9.9 rebounds, amassing 19 double-doubles his sophomore year for the Tigers in 2016-17, earning All-American Athletic Conference First Team honors. As a freshman, Lawson averaged 15.8 points and 9.3 rebounds with 17 double-doubles for Memphis.
Ranked No. 1 in the AP preseason poll released Oct. 22, Kansas will open exhibition play when it hosts Emporia State on Thursday, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m., in Allen Fieldhouse. The game will be televised on the Jayhawk Television Network and ESPN+.


How can a business improve customer service? This is a question that you should never stop asking, because no matter how great your company is, and how solid your service and support departments appear to be, there is always – repeat – always room for improvement in customer service.
This is a challenge in business today. No matter how good your product or service is, it is inevitable that service and support will be necessary for one reason or another, because it's just the nature of things. Someone will have technical issues, a rare defective product, or they may just have issues with billing or any number of things.
The issue here is that it is your customer service and support that you will ultimately be judged for. If your product or service is amazing, but your customer relations are bad, you will fail. Count on that.
This all brings us to our original question – how can a business improve customer service? There are a number of things you can do to get more efficiency, effectiveness and convenience out of your customer service departments.
I've covered this topic before, so some of you may already be doing some of these things, and if so, great. But keep reading, because you may find something new and very helpful here.
Now before you scoff at this, hear me out. Your call center is, no matter what, still going to be your main avenue for customers to communicate with you through. It's reflex that they dial a phone with hopes of getting a human being with some effort.
Over the years, we've phased out operators in favor of phone trees and voice recognition. Sure that saved companies a minute amount of money, but it made call centers the reputed hell that customers consider them to be now. Hold times, bad looping adverts and music … these are things that do not help. But, it's this phone tree system that leads people in merry circles which takes the cake.
It's ok to have a simple phone tree system with minimal nesting and complexity, but you need to have an operator to whom they may opt out by pressing zero, who can direct them to an agent. No matter how simple a phone tree is, it's never going to be simple enough for 100% compatibility.
If I had a dime for each time I've written about this concept at this point, I'd be richer than the King of Belgium. But, people seem to not get the message, so here we go yet again.
This is mainly regarding Twitter, but you really do need to take the idea of offloading less sensitive support and service issues to this medium. Not only does it spare people who hate using the phone (like myself) from having to call you and tie up your call center yet further, but it's also a good way to be proactive and engage customers even when they have no complaints.
Same thing here. I've been saying this over and over again and I guess I'll keep saying it until doomsday if people don't take it to heart. Self service, where customers can connect and deal with their own issues, is very good for relieving the bottleneck of other channels, and it's also a way to reduce overhead, and seem more convenient. Customers value the ability to just handle an issue themselves without having to deal with you to do it.
This of course is mostly good just for resolving simple issues, posting complaints or getting account information, but that's a start.
How can a business improve customer service? Bring human beings back to the call center, and take self service and social support channels seriously. Seriously, take this to heart and don't make me say it again, business world.

It was in creating pieces for groups of students that Perreault discovered the formal and expressive possibilities of group choreography. In 1983, he made JOE for students in the dance department at Université du Québec à Montréal. It was performed by 24 non-professional dancers wearing black boots, dark raincoats and felt hats. Starting in 1984, professional productions with as many as 32 dancers revived the piece and toured the world. The last performance was in 2005.
Perreault was responsible for almost all aspects of JOE: choreography, set design, costumes and the percussive music produced by the dancers' steps on a stage wired for sound. With this work, he realized not only the evocative power of the group but also the dramatic impact of music. "It was with JOE that I really started working out a musical score in conjunction with the choreographic steps and began amplifying the sound made by the movements," Perreault later recalled. "So it is the choreography, the motions themselves, that produce some of the music."
In JOE, Perreault also continues exploring an expressive dimension that is a recurring theme in his work: the body's gravity as an emblem of the human condition. This masterfully structured piece speaks to our individual condition within the mass. However, the anonymity which is an overarching motif in Joe does not arise from the dancer's self-abnegation but rather from the synchronization of a collective quest." -http://jeanpierreperreault.com/works/joe

I am trying to replace the Master cylinders for my bike CF MOTO V5 250cc 2010 model. The original CF moto replacements cost me $600 including fitting. So trying to find any Universal Master cylinders and got stuck with the Bore size. I got no idea of what is it and how to measure.
If you pull the plunger out you can measure the bore diameter and then debth. But..I wouldn't worry too much about that- just get one for a bike as heavy or heavier then yours and you will be fine. Its OK to have one too big, it just takes less pressure to stop. Too small and you will have to pull pretty hard on the lever. And you want it to fit the bar with the handle and line in the right place.
Hi there. Try posting in the general or how to tread. You might get more answers. As far as measuring. I'm not sure what your after. The bore can be measured with a caliper or if you don't need to be exact you can try a steel rule.


You can plan and plan, and life often doesn't fall into place the way you want it to. This last weekend, is an example. Faith's birthday was Saturday. This was the first year we decided to "celebrate" it. Rori wanted to make her cupcakes--Oreo cupcakes! She was very excited and asked, "who are we going to celebrate with?" Well, it just so happened that we had planned on going to my parent's house on Saturday and my sister and her family were coming too. So we made cupcakes, I made cookies--just to make sure there would be enough dessert. It was working out well that we were all going to be there on Saturday because my mom was having her gallbladder out on Monday. I think my mom was looking forward to the distraction.
After we made the cupcakes, the kids were all upstairs watching television in my bedroom. I came downstairs to start working on Faith's blog post. I heard coughing. And then a shout. More coughing while I was running up the stairs. Rori had vomited all over our bed, my pillows, and carpet. I called Bill's mom to come over to help me take care of the other two kids while I stripped the sheets and got Rori cleaned up. A few hours later, Liam started throwing up. Every half hour until the wee hours of the morning, the kids were vomiting. We were officially in the vomitorium. I called my mom and broke the news to her that we wouldn't be coming the next day either. I would be going to the store for new pillows!
I would appreciate prayers for my mom's recovery--she has a tougher recovery than normal because of her diabetes as well as the fact that her gallbladder was pretty inflamed. She's feeling pretty miserable and would appreciate prayers for a speedy healing!
Ugh! That has happened to us so many times too. All the planning and then....! Oh well.....glad you've scheduled a make-up (and got new pillows).:0) Hope your mom's recovery pain goes away very soon!
The cupcakes looked delicious, Jaimers. We were the vomitorium the last time there was a 3 day weekend.

While not the first smartwatch with cellular connectivity (Samsung's made a few already), LG's newly announced second-generation Watch Urbane is the first Android Wear smartwatch with LTE in it.
The Watch Urbane doesn't ditch its Urbane genes and that's too bad because the Urbane is a terrible smartwatch that's incredibly uncomfortable to wear.
Instead of putting the new Watch Urbane on a diet, LG's actually gone and made the screen larger. The new smartwatch has a round 1.33-inch P-OLED display with a higher 480 x 480 resolution compared to the original Urbane's 1.3-inch 320 x 320 resolution.
The casing is made from 316L stainless steel and is water and dust-resistant. It will come in a number of colors to match the LG V10 smartphone.
As far as specs, the new Watch Urbane is a step above other Android Wear devices. It's packing a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 768MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. Thanks to a new hexagon-shaped battery, LG was able to cram in a higher-capacity 570 mAh battery than its competitors.
Interestingly enough, the Wi-Fi and cellular antennas are embedded inside of the band and not the watch case. You'll also find the usual heart-rate sensor, barometer, pedometer, gyroscope and compass.
The new Watch Urbane is compatible with iOS and Android. LG didn't announce pricing or availability, but did say the smartwatch will be released in the U.S. and South Korea first.


Adam Brousseau from Canada I love the ethical and well guided approach that you take to marketing didgeridoos. I think that the talent and skill of the australian aboriginals is clearly highlighted and praised.
Anonymous from USA I love how much information you have about the culture.
Andrew Zacchini from USA Awesome!!
Andrew Zwack from USA The information found on the website is extensive. There is a lot of info to search through. I have not been through it all but found the info on buying Didjes very useful. I also found the physics of the sound portion very interesting.
Carl from USA It is wonderful.
Casey from USA The layout seems dated. The Shop button on the far right is not intuitive. The formatting and styling of the 12 reasons could use a retooling.
Anonymous from USA Awesome to have so much information available.
Denay from USA Love the Website! VERY informative! I am planning on purchasing for my 14yr. old son who would like one! He is physically disabled but musically inclined so I try and provide as much for him as he is capable of doing & is interested in doing!
Diego from Chile It has a lot of very useful information but looks old ( not ancient). Looks like has no order needs some Information and aesthetic design actualisation.
Don Chasse Jr from USA Very user friendly it feels like as I read on all my questions are answered before I even know to think of them. I'm very pleased and impressed by the lack of outside advertising. everyone loves links and related materials your website satisfies all my didjeridoo needs in a minimal easy to use manner. Bravo! Namaste.
Anonymous Just found the website today. I have always been attracted to the sound of the didgeridoo and recently heard a player at a local fair. I have found your website to be the best one so far and will be using it a lot. I plan on buying an inexpensive didj and if I can become proficient I would like to buy a good quality didj.
Fiona from New Zealand Great like the pics and listening to the didjes. Fantastic help choosing a didj thank you.
Joaquim Maricio from Portugal It is well constructed but the didgeridoo buy page could be easier to find.
Johan M I really love it I found a lot of inspiration and help for when I first started playing and making my own didges out of bamboo. It also provided a lot of info about the instrument that other pages don't. This whole web page is so much bigger than most other pages it is more than just a place where you can buy things.
Anonymous from USA Like the set up haven't explored enough.
Mark Witt from USA So far I like what I see.
Anonymous from Austria Very nice and informative. Especially the ranking system about the quality of the didjes.
Michael Lewis from USA Your website is very well laid-out easy to find what I'm looking for. It has lots of good information and the coloring is very eye-catching.
Philip from USA Technically and aesthetically it's very nice. But I really like that it is so well "honest" for lack of a better word.
Pj from USA The didjshop website is wonderful. It's a great mix of news events stories history art artifacts and great items for sale you name it. Anyone with any interest in Australia or things Australian should check it out.
Rachel from USA This is my first time visiting. I'm posting a link from my FB page.
Russell Stewart from Canada I only recently discovered this site while looking for guidance in repairing a significant crack which formed along the side of my favorite didjeridoo. By the way the glue and sawdust mix worked well. Thank you.
Scott from USA Very informative.
Tom from USA Lots of information. I plan to use it to make a plastic didge and try circular breathing.


This HUGE house is like a lodge with 3800 square feet of living space. The house is perfect for large groups and the location is perfect! So much room to spread out and enjoy being together. We have just remodeled 3 of the bathrooms and redecorated all the bedrooms. We have an excellent cleaning service, so no need to worry. In addition to the 7 bedrooms there is a fully stocked kitchen with 3 ovens and 2 living areas so your group can divide up when desired. There are 2 TVs. 1 in each living room and feature Dish network channels.
There is a wonderful huge fireplace in the main living room to enjoy after a day on the ski slopes or just to hang around with you are cold. The main house has five bedrooms, 3 upstairs & 2 downstairs, three baths, and sleeps 12. The attached rear unit has two more bedrooms and sleeps an additional six people.
All rooms are nicely decorated and both kitchens have cookware and a dishwasher.
Extra large hot tub in private yard. There are even 2 washers and dryers for your convenience.
Most importantly, this house has passed the rigid inspection process required by the City of So Lake Tahoe and is approved as a vacation rental. Whoever wrote that nasty review must have stayed someplace else because this is a lovely home to rent. Although there are sometimes little mice which are common in mountain cabins. We have an excellent cleaning service.
The house is located in a flat area accessible in most weather. There is parking in the driveway for 5 to 6 cars.
The location is Great!!! Just a short walk to the lake, ten minutes to Heavenly Ski Resort or the Casinos. The area is wonderful for swimming, biking/hiking or just to stroll around the neighborhood. There is a boat launch and a bike path nearby. Have a great mountain experience in this wonderful cabin.
Our rates vary during the year. We offer discounts for April, May, Sept, Oct, and Nov. For holiday rates please inquire.
You will love this place!!!
This is our current family. We are raising two of our grandchildren with the help of their dad. We have already raised 7 wonderful children and have 26 grandchildren who delight us regularly.
We chose this property because we have a very large family and wanted a place we could all get together and have fun. There is always so much to do At Tahoe for people of all ages.
With 7 bedrooms, a large group can relax in their own space or get together in our large great room. There are two living rooms which means the kids can sit and watch a movie out back, while the adults enjoy quiet conversation or a movie in the front. In the winter the fireplace gives warmth and comfort after a soak in the hottub. In the summer we live on the lake which is a short walk/drive away. Both summer and winter we often walk to the parks to sit and enjoy the lake.
There are so many things to do in this area. Close to 3 ski resorts and several snow parks. Travel to Carson City for shopping, the Mint museum is great, train museum, more casinos and fine dining. There is even a ghost town a few miles away. Year round you can take a boatride over to Emeral Bay and tour Vikingsholm. The Heavenly tram goes up the mountain year round for skiing and hiking and just to see the view. During summer there are bike trails near the cabin, hiking trails all around the lake, a Shakespeare Festival, and many other activities. The Chamber of Commerce is located just across the Tahoe Blvd from the cabin. You will have a delightful time her at our newly remodeled cabin and while visiting this area.


As part of the preparations for the GEEP [Global Environmental Education Partnership] meeting in San Diego, I was asked to write two reports about the UK situation. The first I published yesterday. This is the second of them: a country needs survey.
The draft mission of the GEEP is to create a vibrant learning network designed to build capacity in countries around the world by strengthening, sustaining, and institutionalizing environmental education. Keeping this mission statement in mind, please ... use the remaining space to describe specific needs related to that topic area.
Describe how the GEEP could help your country to establish a national environmental policy or legislation.
The UK, at both national and (devolved) state levels has plenty of policies relating to sustainability and the environment; many of these come from the European Union, some are home grown. The issue is not so much the lack of policies; rather it is the lack of coherence amongst these, and the difficulty in ensuring that policies are acted on and outcomes / impacts monitored.
NB, because of the UK's devolved political structure, there ought to be four separate responses to surveys such as this in order to represent the quite different political and educational contexts of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. In what follows, I have tried to show something of these differences.
Describe specific needs related to professional development.
School teacher pre-service professional development is different across the four constituent parts of the UK, and there is considerable variation as to what (and how much) attention is paid to EE / ESD / etc in all this. This is most extensively developed in Scotland through the work of an independent General Teaching Council, although it would be going too far to say that this was affecting the work of all teachers and schools. Across the UK, in-service professional development is haphazard and is mostly provided through NGOs working with schools. That said, there are examples of schools where internal professional development is of a high standard, and some of this is supported by capacity-building and curriculum development organisations such as Eco-Schools.
It is hard to see how professional development in England (which has ~80% of the teachers) will take EE / ESD / etc seriously until it is more independent of government than it currently is. It is hard to see when this is likely to happen.
Viewed more widely, colleges and the vocational curriculum seems to be a lost cause-in spite of political rhetoric about the importance of the green economy, but there are some hopeful signs from student led interventions in universities , although it is too soon to assess long term impact. Universities are not the "thought leaders" on moving the education and learning agenda forward that the might be; whilst some businesses are. Attempts to support the development of sustainability / ESD in UK universities has been a failure, although there are institutions that take it seriously. None does so to the extent that, say, the University of British Columbia manages.
GEEP could help, albeit at the margins, by setting out indicative guidelines on effective professional development related to EE / ESD / etc with illustrative case studies from different jurisdictions across the world.
C. Environmental issues that EE can address (e.g. climate change, pollution, loss of biodiversity, etc.).
Describe the key environmental issues and how EE can best address them in your country? What are the key audiences you want to engage?
There is no shortage of issues, or resources that help teachers address these. Some of these are of high quality and many are produced by experienced NGOs. It is probably the case that more of these are aimed at UK primary schools (up to age 11) than at post-primary (secondary) schools or colleges / universities.
However, the support for EE / ESD / etc is characterised by action which is not necessarily coherent or focused on process and learning outcomes.
One recurrent issue in all such resources aimed at secondary schools is the problem of a school system that emphasises separate subjects. It is a commonplace experience in such schools that students learn about different aspects of environmental / sustainability issues in different subjects, but that students are never helped to draw these together into a more coherent whole. Thus schools mirror society in thinking about inter-connected issues in a segmented fashion. Narrowly drawn and discipline-focused school-leaving and university-entrance examinations compound this problem. The teaching professional bodies could do more to help all this transition, if they had a mind.
Describe how the GEEP could help your country.
Guidelines are one thing; national standards quite another. Whilst there are detailed standards that apply to pre-service professional development, these do not relate to EE / ESD (or any other adjectival education) in England which is where the vast majority of teachers, and newly qualified teachers, are. In Scotland and Wales, the picture is better.
As I noted above, GEEP could probably help here, by setting out indicative guidelines on effective professional development related to EE / ESD / etc with illustrative case studies from different jurisdictions across the world.
Describe specific needs around research.
Whilst there is always the need for more research, a greater problem is the that of helping research inform practice. There has been great growth over the last two decades of journals devoted to reporting research germane to EE / ESD / etc. What there has not been, however, is any commensurate growth in that research reaching practitioners and influencing practice in schools. Perhaps the leading journals and their publishers have a responsibility here.
Describe specific needs around evaluation.
There is no systematic national evaluation of any of this, and no likelihood of this being developed in the short to medium term.
G. What other topic areas are needed most as a way to strengthen EE In your country?
One of the most influential aspects of professional development / capacity building for EE / ESD / etc in the UK is the work of Eco-Schools which operates within an international franchise [FEE]. Eco-Schools in the UK says that the need for professional development on EE / ESD / etc is clear and it is looking to expand what it does, but it is stifled by capacity issues. Could GEEP help lever resources to enable this expansion.
[ii] make recommendations about re-structuring the international programme in a way that allows for better evaluation of the learning and environmental outcomes that emerge.
These steps would support the work of Eco-Schools, both in the UK and internationally.
H. The GEEP has developed a preliminary checklist as a way for countries to measure their success in using environmental education as a key strategy. As a leader who is helping to shape this initiative, we would like you to provide some preliminary feedback on the following draft attributes. Please rank the importance of each attribute on a 5 point scale (1 = not important; 5 = most important) in measuring the success of a EE in a given country.
Policy: Has legislation or policies that advance environmental education (national mandate or legislation; graduation requirements; etc.).
Guidelines: Has standards or guidelines that promote high quality environmental education.
Training: Supports professional development for environmental education professionals, including formal and non-formal educators.
Evaluation: Has strategies for measuring impact and a way to roll up results of environmental education programming and national efforts.
Sustainability: Has a secure funding source for EE.
Comprehensive Programming: EE is integrated within the country at all levels—national, regional, and local.
Networks: Has a professional association for EE practitioners.
Certification: Has opportunities for educators to become certified in EE.
Formal: EE is integrated into formal education.
Curriculum: Has quality teaching materials that are accessible to educators in both formal and non-formal settings.
I. Please identify what attributes you think are missing from this list. We will use these ideas to generate discussion at the GEEP meeting.
Whilst there's nothing particularly wrong with this list (and it's hard not to tick boxes 4/5), it looks at everything from the inside out; that is, from the EE perspective, not the wider socio-educational one.
There is, for example, nothing about the purposes of EE / ESD / etc. Or about how EE / ESD / etc contributes to wider national educational / training goals – particularly how EE / ESD / etc helps [i] build capacity to think critically and constructively about the existential problem we face; and [ii] helps society do something about them.
For me, it fails the 'dog training test'. That is, if you replace EE with 'dog training', the document still makes perfect sense. For example, "Has standards or guidelines that promote high-quality dog training".
This suggests that what is here is not getting to the heart of the matter.
[i] An organisation where issues around environment / sustainability. . .
· understands that it can, and should, contribute not just to maximizing learning and skills acquisition (its traditional role), but also to enhancing social cohesion, as well as lessening its need for natural resources and its creation of waste, and maximising the efficiency of its buildings.
J. What are three things you're most proud of about EE in your country?
1. The energy, intelligence and dedication of those educators and institutional leaders (in the formal and informal sectors) who keep stressing the importance of, and need for, EE / ESD / etc, and who live out their educational values on a daily basis through what they do.
3. The way that students (of all ages) act as convincing ambassadors for it all.
Postscript. I did not dream all this up myself, but asked a number of commentators from across the UK's devolved administrations what they thought. All the replies (from those who had time to respond) are incorporated here.
Many thanks for sharing these overviews that many outside the UK will find instructive. I have already placed a link to the two documents at http://case4all.info/?page_id=1429 on the Community Action for Spaceship Earth website in the hope that they will be circulated more widely. I am not sure that the whole planet (a.k.a. Spaceship Earth) perspective is as 'up front' as I would think necessary, but your proposal to link EE with 'global education' perhaps has this intention. But I will study further your concise outline which has so much to ponder. Your worthwhile contribution to GEEP seems ensured!

The early morning sun throws shadows across Monaco's pedestrian street, Rue Princesse Caroline. That's Port Hercule at the far end.
You have to get up early to see this street with almost no one in it.
Such a beautiful street. Makes me want to stroll down it with you!
Charming - I would like to take a walk at the street.
I like it there! There's shade in the afternoon. So you can escape from the heat.
This will be one of my first destinations next week when I arrive!
I know I will walk along Rue Princesse Caroline almost every day!
Beautiful photo of a beautiful street, so colorful and green. I love those long early morning shadows too, great time for picture-taking. It seems worth getting up early enough to experience the peace and quiet. I can almost hear the silence--what a nice start to a Sunday morning.
I hope I have the opportunity to stroll down this street in the near future--the very near future!
Looks like a wonderful place to take a morning stroll!
Beautiful street, it almost looks like a street at Disneyworld.
A street of dreams to walk on.
Beautiful photo that captures the serenity of the early morning with everything clean and in it's place - wants me want to pull up a chair, take cafe-creme and watch that lovely sun slowly filter into the day.

corruption, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, PRESIDENT DUTERTE LEGISLATIVE, SCAMS & SCANDALS
SALCEDA: P100-M FOR EACH SOLON IN 2020 BUDGET NOT 'PORK BARREL'
Albay Rep. Joey Salceda said that the P100 million that each lawmaker at the House of Representatives will be receiving PHP100 million under the proposed PHP4.1 trillion national budget for 2020 is not "pork barrel."
Salceda said that these were not classified as Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel, which the Supreme Court declared as unconstitutional in 2013.
In the previous administration, PDAF erupted into a full-blown scandal involving senators and congressmen alleged to have received huge kickbacks from PDAF-funded projects implemented by scam queen Janet Lim.
Each lawmaker at the House of Representatives will be receiving PHP100 million under the proposed PHP4.1 trillion national budget for 2020, Salceda said Wednesday.
Salceda, chairman of the House committee on ways and means, bared that of the amount, PHP70 million will be allocated for hard projects, such as infrastructure, while PHP30 million will be used for soft projects, such as medical assistance.
Asked if there were any allocations for congressmen, Salceda said: "Of course there are allocations for my constituents."
"To ensure everybody has some minimum, PHP100 (million), yes. But that's basically PHP70 million of infrastructure and they were itemized in the NEP (National Expenditure Program) and there is no such thing as non-itemized expenditure there," Salceda said during the weekly economic media briefing in Malacañang.
Salceda said the PHP100 million was determined by the executive branch.
He also assured that the proposed 2020 national budget would be pork-free.
"It's free of pork based on Supreme Court standards. And the mere fact that there are new insertions… as is, where is," Salceda later said in a media interview.
He said it is free from pork because there are no individual amendments or alignments made to the proposed budget unlike previous years.
"There are no individual amendments, there are only three institutional amendments," Salceda said, namely amendments to develop the education, health sectors, Camp Aguinaldo and other sectors.
"It also smells, acts, quacks like a need of my constituents and it also smells, acts, quacks as if it's allowed by the Supreme Court," he added.
The House of Representatives is composed of 299 districts and party-list representatives.
Duterte allies working
Salceda, meanwhile, bared that the House will approve the proposed 2020 national budget on second reading on Friday (Sept. 20) and approve it on third and final reading by next week.
"So the 2020 budget, I'm sure will be approved by September 20. The earliest approved budget at the House in history," Salceda said.
"We will approve on second reading on Friday. Parehas lang, wala nang magbabago (It's the same, nothing changes) after second reading. Yung third reading nominal voting na yun (On the third reading, we'll do nominal voting)," he added.
Salceda expressed hope that the Senate would also follow the House's footsteps by passing the proposed budget as early as possible, to prove that the allies of President Rodrigo Duterte are working.
"We just wanna prove that the 'Duterte Super Coalition' in the House is working, and I hope the so-called 'Duterte Super Coalition of 20' in the Senate will do the same," he added.
In a separate media interview, Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo assured that the President will veto the proposed budget should there be provisions he finds "unconstitutional."
"Antayin natin pag sinubmit na kay Presidente (Let's wait for it to be submitted to the President) then the President will decide if it is pork or not. He will veto it if it is against the Constitution," Panelo said. (PNA)

Q: automatically sign in user using springSecurityService I've tried to sign in user with springSecurityService.reauthenticate(username) but springSecurityService.currentUser is null anyway
How to trigger a sign in with username and password and also get result on springSecurityService.currentUser?

A: springSecurityService.reauthenticate(username) should set springSecurityService.currentUser at once - at least it does in my application (I'm using spring-security-core:2.0-RC4 and Grails 2.4.4).
Please check if you are passing in an existing username, it looks as though the user cannot be found. Try something along the lines of println User.findByUsername(username) before trying to reauthenticate to debug whether the user can actually be found.
Also check that you are not hitting this problem.

Good Witches
As a child I learned, from The Wizard of Oz, that there are good witches, and bad witches. From Caspar the Friendly Ghost I learned that not all departed spirits are to be feared. From Felix the Cat I learned that magic can be put to good use. From Kung Fu I learned that there is wisdom to be found in non-Christian religions.
Frank L. Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was first published in 1900. Baum famously included two "good witches" in this book. But the idea of "good witches" does not originate with Baum. A year earlier (1899) Charles Leland's Aradia: Gospel of the Witches, already appeared, but even before that (in 1892) he had come out with his Etruscan Roman Remains in which he writes in the Introduction:
"Here in Northern Italy a mountain district known as La Romagna Toscana, the inhabitants of which speak a rude form of the Bolognese dialect. These Romagnoli are manifestly a very ancient race, and appear to have preserved traditions and observances little changed from an incredibly early time .... Among these people, stregeria, or witchcraft -- or, as I have heard it called, "la vecchia religione" (or "the old religion") -- exists to a degree which would even astonish many Italians. This stegeria, or old religion, is something more than sorcery, and something less than a faith. It consists in remains of a mythology of spirits, the principal of whom preserve the names and attributes of the old Etruscan gods, such as Tinia, or Jupiter, Faflon, or Bacchus, and Teraina (in Etruscan Turnis) or Mercury. With these there still exist, in a few memories, the most ancient Roman rural deities, such as Silvanus, Palus, Pan, and the Fauns. To all these invocations or prayers in rude metrical form are still addressed, or are at least preserved, and there are many stories regarding them....
Closely allied to the belief in these old deities, is a vast mass of curious tradition, such as that there is a spirit of every element or thing created, as for instance of every plant and mineral, and a guardian or leading spirit of all animals; or, as in the case of silkworms, two -- one good an one evil. Also that witches and sorcerers are sometimes born again in their descendants; that all kinds of goblins, brownies, red-caps and three inch mannikins, haunt forests, rocks, ruined towers, firesides and kitchens, or cellars ...."
Even earlier still, Jacob Grimm's Teutonic Mythology appeared in 1835. In his chapter on Magic (in volume III) Grimm first makes clear that heathen (pre-Christian) Germans knew of both beneficial magic and harmful magic, but that this distinction became confused with the introduction of Christianity. According to the new religion "all heathen notions and practices were declared to be deceit and sinful delusion: the old gods fell back and changed into devils, and all that pertained to their worship into devilish jugglery."
From here, Grimm launches directly into a discussion of terminology associated with witchcraft: "Before proceeding with our inquiry, we have to examine the several terms that designated witchcraft in olden times." The reader is then treated to eight pages of words related to witchcraft, sorcery, conjuring, potion making, charms, spells, prediction, soothsaying, incantations, etc, in Old High German, Old Norse, Middle High German, Low German, Anglo Saxon, Norwegian, Dutch, Swedish, Icelandic, Old English, Gothic, etc, to all of which Jacob Grimm provides his equivalents in Latin and sometimes, for comparison, the Greek as well.
For example: "The AS [Anglo Saxon] also has the two forms: both wiccian fascinare [first he gives the AS italicized, followed by the Latin equivalent unitalicized], wicce saga, wiccungdom or wiccancraeft ars magica .... The English has witch = wicce; and the AS verb has survived its partic. wicked (perversus, maledictus), and Old English has an adjective wikke meaning the same ....."
Grimm also tells us that the modern (of his day) German word "hexe" could be given in Latin as saga, strix, striga, venefica, lamia, and furia. Grimm also points out that sometimes the hexe is assumed to be an old woman, while at other times she is young, and that the word "hexe" can also be used to complement a beautiful woman, or to mean "wise woman". The bottom line is that the ambiguity and multivalency of the modern English "witch" is not something that has been forced onto this word artificially and only as a result of a self-conscious campaign of politically correct revalorization. Nor have "good witches" been historically limited to the realms of story telling and story collecting, but have been with us always and ubiquitously as living human beings throughout European history, before, during and well "after" Christianization.

Q: Conducting a fourier series given amplitude and frequency I'm currently writing an extended essay on why instruments sound different when they play the same notes, I have recorded a few instruments and plan on setting up some data but I have no Idea what data I should be looking at. I know I should be looking at fourier series but after watch videos I see that a fourier series is used to model a sinusoidal wave.
How does this connect to instruments other than the fact that they also produce sinusoidal waves, should I instead be looking at turning the initial sound wave into a frequency-amplitude graph. I understand all the mathematics involved but where do I start?

A: You're on the right track, but you may have confused yourself with a belief that a Fourier series models a sinusoidal wave.  It does not; it models any arbitrary signal (such as the sound produced by a musical instrument) as a combination of sinusoidal waves of different frequencies. Each sin wave, which is identified by its frequency, will have a different amplitude.  A Fourier series describes the sound as a combination of all of these sin waves.
When you make a recording of an instrument, what you're really doing is periodically sampling the sound-wave intensity, or more accurately the variation in air pressure that our ears interpret as sound.  This sampling is typically performed at 44,100 times per second, so you'll get a recording of the intensity as a function of time as measured every 1/44100th of a second.  What you're interested in, however, is not the intensity as a function of time, but the intensity as a function of frequency.  In other words, you want to decompose the sound made by an instrument into different notes, all of which are produced simultaneously, and each of which has a different intensity.
The way to transform a signal from "intensity as a function of time" to "intensity as a function of frequency" is to take the Fourier transform of the signal (Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_transform).  A Fourier transform is able to resolve frequency components up to half the sampling frequency, so if you have a sampling frequency of 44100 Hz, you should be able to resolve frequencies up to 22050 Hz - which is just above the limit of human hearing.
If you have two instruments playing the same note, the strongest frequency component should be the same for both instruments.  For example, if you look at the Fourier-transformed signals of two instruments playing Middle C, for each instrument you should see the largest peak at a frequency of around 261.6 Hz (the frequency of Middle C).  What will be different is the relative amplitude of the other frequency components, particularly the various harmonics. For example, for the Middle C-playing instruments, you should see progressively smaller spikes at around 532.2 Hz, 784.8 Hz, 1046.4 Hz, etc.  The size of these peaks should be different for each instrument.  You will also see smaller amplitudes at various other frequencies; these amplitudes will also be different for each instrument.  This is what causes the instruments to sound different.

Blue Origin has made its 10th successful test flight with its New Shepard rocket, launching multiple payloads, including eight NASA experiments, to an altitude of 66 miles on Wednesday. The rocket lifted off at the company's West Texas launch complex at 10:05 a.m. local time. The flight lasted 10 minutes and 15 seconds, and the New Shepard touched down on its landing pad as designed. The capsule returned to Earth under a parachute, landing on the Texas plains. The FAA recently proposed an AD for multiple Piper models after receiving a report of a fatigue crack found in the lower main wing spar cap on a Piper Model PA-28R-201 airplane. An investigation revealed that repeated high-load operating conditions accelerated the fatigue crack growth in the lower main wing spar cap. In addition, because of the structural configuration of the wing assembly, the cracked area was inaccessible for a visual inspection. The FAA said that the condition, if not addressed, could result in the wing separating from the fuselage in flight. The estimated cost to replace the wing spar, if necessary, is estimated to be $8,260 for parts and labor. The partial government shutdown is forcing a delay in NTSB investigations into accidents, including 10 involving airplanes. Some 366 of the NTSB's 397 employees are currently furloughed due to the partial government shutdown. That means that the board is unable to send investigators to accident scenes. As of late last week, there were 14 accidents that are waiting for investigations to begin, with 10 of those involving aircraft. The report indicates that 25 people have been fatally injured in those accidents, but did not stipulate which of those were from the aviation accidents. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!

What to Expect When Moving to Microsoft Teams from Skype for Business
By Scott Gode
Skype for Business, Teams
Don't Get Caught By Surprise When Doing the Intelligent Communications Shuffle
Much has already been written about the ongoing sea change initiated by Microsoft with moving to Microsoft Teams from Skype for Business (SfB). We felt it was time (as we decompress from Microsoft Ignite) to document our list of key changes and adjustments that organizations need to expect or anticipate as part of the inevitable (but in many cases, far from immediate) move to Microsoft Teams.
IM Becomes Chat
Skype for Business had instant messaging, but Teams has chat. There are three key implications for IT with this switch. First, persistent chat will go away in the upcoming Skype for Business Server 2019. Second, the messaging experience of the end user will become persistent (versus the short-lived SfB IM). Third, chat messages and file sharing will be synchronized across all end user devices.
Here Today…Not Gone Tomorrow
Microsoft Teams has been architected with very tight and strategic integration with other Office 365 services. As a result Teams will become very "sticky" – thus greatly decreasing the likelihood of a departmental or organizational switch to third-party alternatives.
Bye-Bye Skype for Business Online
While Microsoft has not yet formally announced the date when Skype for Business Online will be discontinued, they have signaled its eventual demise. We're betting that the end of 2020 will be date when the curtain comes down….so companies should plan to have moved to Teams by this date.
Putting aside purchase models, both Skype for Business and Skype for Business Online could be implemented independently from other Office 365 services. By contrast, Microsoft Teams has multiple service interdependencies, including SharePoint Online.
My How Quickly You've Grown!
Microsoft Teams is, as Microsoft likes to say, born in the cloud. As a result, unlike the on-prem version of Skype for Business, and even unlike Skype for Business Online, IT can expect to experience a more rapid cadence of service and feature enhancements than ever before. This is obviously both a blessing (faster response to customer feature requests), and a curse (harder to keep up with end-user training).
Direct Routing Is the Secret to Cloud PSTN connectivity
The new Direct Routing (DR) approach for supporting third-party PSTN connectivity with Microsoft Teams is a tremendous achievement for organizations. The SBC will no longer be required to be on the customer's premises. Therefore, the SBC can be relocated into the cloud — more specifically, directly into a voice carrier's cloud. This implementation approach will allow organizations to fully shift all Office 365-related voice services to the cloud, thus fully eliminating the requirement for any on-premises infrastructure. When Microsoft launched DR earlier this year, more than 40 voice carriers worldwide announced new solutions and this number is likely to continue to grow. This DR approach will encourage competition, drive product differentiation and spawn innovation within the SBC market.
Azure vs On-Prem
Microsoft Teams will use an entirely new cloud-based architecture (vs both Skype for Business and Skype for Business Online). While the transition to a full-cloud service approach to all conferencing and telephony may require a bit of a leap of faith for the hardcore telephony veterans, the belief that Azure technologies will be up to the challenge of providing a highly scalable service is the growing sentiment in the market.
Meet Global…Connect Local
Microsoft has evolved Teams to support improved UC meeting performance using a Regionally Hosted Meetings service integrated with Azure. This capability allows users to host online meetings from their "local" geo as opposed to the organization's home-tenant geo. The ability to leverage the large footprint and greater density of Azure data centers, enables users to host online meetings that are closer in proximity to their work locations. With Microsoft Teams, users can join meetings from Outlook, or they can access their prescheduled meetings through the "Meetings" section of Teams.
Chaos with the Teams desktop UX to come?
The Teams UX assumes that Teams is the hub of all collaboration activity for Office 365.
For users who actively use Teams for group collaboration, the integration of Skype for Business functionality into the Microsoft Teams app will be a positive consolidation that offers the benefit of convenience. However, for Skype for Business users who require only chat, online meeting and/or calling functionality, the new Teams UX may seem complex, confusing or even disruptive. This lack of a "simple" client (which has been the hallmark of Skype for Business since its early OCS and Lync days) will require significant change management for end users from IT. And yet, back in the early 1990s when Outlook first took the stage as a consolidated form of email, calendaring and tasks, weren't the same prognostications also delivered?
The Mobile App Finally Trends Toward a First-Class Citizen Experience
One of the common Skype for Business laments has always been that the mobile client experience was poor and forever trailing. The feature set was immature (vs the desktop experience), as was the performance. With Teams, however, although it is still early days, it appears that Microsoft has finally reacted to all the mobile groans. The new mobile client for Teams provides access to most UC functionality — losing only the ability to share a desktop or apps – and the performance is snappy. It's clear that the mobile app of Microsoft Teams was designed with the mobile experience in mind.

Cardi B twerked on a bejeweled piano in 'Money' performance at 2019 Grammys: There's a Cincinnati connection
Cheryl Vari
Cardi B gave a dazzling performance of her newest single "Money" at the Grammys on Sunday night.
The queen of rap shared the stage with two other dazzlers: a jewel-encrusted piano played by a 33-year-old pianist, who caused quite a buzz.
The performance kicked off with a fierce piano intro by Chloe Flower, which almost stole the scene. Cardi B then strutted across the stage and climbed on top of the bedazzled Baldwin piano once played by Liberace.
That piano has a surprising Cincinnati connection.
Though the Baldwin Piano Company ceased paying taxes in the city more than 15 years ago, it was a fixture in the community for a 140 years.
"The story of the Baldwin Piano Company, ... usually starts with the anecdote that Mr. Baldwin was a music teacher, one of the first in Cincinnati Public Schools. There is so much more,"Janelle Gelfand wrote in a 2017 story for The Enquirer.
"But the story of Baldwin Piano is bigger than that. It wends its way through the Civil War, the Great Depression and two world wars. It survives two fires. And it includes a family dynasty that doesn't even bear the name Baldwin."
.... Cincinnati, with its immigrant craftsmen, was the perfect city to set up a factory making these hand-made masterpieces. (When master woodcarver John Giglio of North College Hill died, his obituary proudly declared that the Italian immigrant had personally carved the Baldwin grand piano played by Liberace.
Read the whole story here: The sound that Baldwin Piano gave to the world.
Here's a sampling of what Twitter had to say about the instrument and the pianist.
