Chip shortage forces Ford to cut production of cars and trucks again
Consumers increasingly see fewer choices and higher prices
Photo (c) Steve Raymer - Getty Images
The Ford Motor Company is significantly reducing its output at six North American assembly plants, the result of a persistent shortage of vital computer chips in the supply chain. The move may lead to fewer vehicles heading to dealer lots in the months ahead.
Some facilities will be closed entirely for up to three weeks. Others will operate normally at reduced capacity with little to no overtime.
The plants targeted for the slowdown are in Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, and Ontario, Canada. These locations produce a wide range of Ford vehicles, from F-150 pickups and vans to the Ford Explorer SUV and Ford Escape crossover.
Shortage caused by the pandemic
The ongoing chip shortage began soon after the start of the pandemic last year. When car sales came to a screeching halt, automakers canceled existing orders for chips, expecting their plants would remain closed for an extended period.
But dealers quickly changed to an online business model and sales rose, leaving automakers without some key parts to produce cars and trucks. Because of the long lead time required to manufacture computer chips, the shortage has dragged on.
Ford temporarily closed production lines at plants in Michigan and Missouri in February. In early March, General Motors announced that it was extending its plant shutdowns.
Cox Automotive reports that the cutback in production has reduced inventories of available new cars, giving consumers fewer choices while reducing dealer incentives. It predicts sales of new cars in the first quarter of this year were nearly 5 percent lower than the same period in 2019.
The company reports that the supply of cars and trucks at dealerships across the country this week is 2.67 million vehicles, down approximately 20,000 units from the prior week and the lowest point since mid-January. Supply is 21 percent lower than this time last year.
"Inventory acquisition is the number one priority for dealers," said Jonathon Smoke, chief economist at Cox Automotive, in a presentation to reporters and analysts.
Car prices continue to rise
With demand still strong and supplies falling, dealers are in the driver's seat when negotiating with buyers. After peaking in late December, Cox Automotive reports that the average listing price of a new vehicle in March was 7 percent higher than in March 2020.
Rising prices and falling inventories of new cars have also had an effect on used car prices, pushing them higher. Reports show that used car prices increased every week during March.

The inferior colliculus is the main processing station in the auditory midbrain and integrates projections from nearly all ascending brainstem nuclei. Apart from being a converging station, the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICC) is essential for extracting time-varying spectrotemporal information  and therefore might be important for processing complex sounds such as speech and vocalizations. The ICC has been the target for a human auditory prosthesis , which might benefit from model predictions of the neural response in the ICC to incoming sound.
Natural sounds such as speech and vocalizations, which display a wide spectrum of acoustic properties, such as harmonics, correlations, amplitude and frequency modulations and are very well suited to study the auditory system.
This study is based on several sets of multi-unit activity recorded simultaneously from 32 sites in the contralateral ICC of guinea pigs while acoustically presenting a diverse set of conspecific vocalizations to the right ear. Recordings were taken either along the tonotopic gradient using double-shank electrodes or within iso-frequency lamina using double-tetrode electrodes.
We investigated predictive power of several models of temporal responses in the ICC to vocalizations and artificial sound. The tested models include 1) a modified version of the physiologically detailed Meddis Model , which was altered in order to match spiking threshold in the guinea pig ICC and to include adaptation effects and output the trial-averaged spiking responses, the peri-stimulus time histograms (PSTH).
2) a generalized linear model and 3) a filtering model with a bandpass filter of 1/3 octaves around the best frequency, with subsequent normalization and rectification for each unit, followed by spatial filtering for nearby units. Predictive power was evaluated by means of the correlation value of the envelope of the PSTHs from the predicted and the experimentally obtained responses.
We find that our relatively simple, filtering approach yields surprisingly good overlap of predicted and measured responses for some multi-units, but has poor predictive power for other units. The models (1-2) yield overall better overlap for the whole set of vocalizations but do not perform optimally in predicting the temporal course of the response.
Our findings indicate distributions of optimal predictive power in the inferior colliculus over a large best frequency range across and within isofrequency laminae.


LYONS (Sep 22 10) – The Lyons girls' tennis team is working through a frustrating week. On Monday, the Lady Lions lost to Clyde-Savannah, 3-2, and on Tuesday, they fell to North Rose-Wolcott by the same score. A third match today with Sodus was postponed because of rain.
The points in both losses came from the winning doubles teams of Becky Heid and Chelsey Friend, and Tori Barner and Morgan Slocum. Coach Colleen Boardman said Heid and Friend will try to qualify for sectionals on Friday, along with singles players Courtney Brownell and Emily Gifford.
Lyons is in the busiest part of its season now, with matches next week against North Rose-Wolcott on Monday, Sodus on Tuesday, East Rochester on Wednesday and Marion on Friday.
The girls are 2-4 in the Wayne County League and 3-5 overall, with more wins this season than the last two years combined.

Pixar brings a dumpling to life in new...
Pixar brings a dumpling to life in new short film
Get your chopsticks and your tissues ready
TEXT ANTHEA REYES
From the studio that brought you Inside Out, Finding Nemo, and Up, comes a new short film that's sure to tug at your heartstrings. And it's all about dumplings.
Okay, to be completely honest, we're not a hundred percent sure on the heartstrings tugging since we don't have all the details yet. But do you all remember Geri's Game, La Luna, and For the Birds? Considering the track record of the animation studio's other shorts, we're making an educated guess.
This summer, Pixar will be screening a new eight-minute short titled Bao featuring a little dumpling brought to life. According to the synopsis on Tribeca Film Festival's website, this will be a tale about "an empty-nesting Chinese mom" who "gets another chance at motherhood when one of her dumplings springs to life. But she must come to terms with the bittersweet revelation that nothing stays cute and small forever."
Tear ducts working already? There's more. As reported on Eater.com, the short film will be exploring "the ups and downs of the parent-child relationship through the colorful, rich, and tasty lens of the Chinese immigrant community in Canada."
Bao will be screening as part of the NYC film festival's short animated showcases in New York this coming Apr. 21, 24, 27, and 28. If you're not flying to the Big Apple anytime soon, worry not. The short film will also be screened before showings of Incredibles 2.
You might ask, "How much can they really do with a dumpling?" Remember, this is the same studio that made you root for the success of a rat in the kitchen in Ratatouille.

RECORD-BREAKING: Russian S-400 Missile Shot Down an Ukrainian Su-27 Fighter
The Russian S-400 Air Defense Missile System shot down a Ukrainian Su-27 above Kyiv on February 25th. Although this has not been confirmed officially. The Russian army started the second wave of missile strikes against Ukrainian targets, focusing on the capital Kyiv, on the second day of the Russian-Ukrainian war. However, Russian missiles were intercepted by Ukrainian mobile anti-aircraft missile batteries stationed near Kyiv.
The Russian Air Force has also launched a counter-offensive against Ukraine. A Ukrainian Su-27 fighter plane was shot down by a Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile stationed in Belarus at a distance of 150 kilometres, resulting in a massive meteor shower over Kyiv. It set a new long-distance record for anti-aircraft missiles shooting down enemy aircraft in actual combat.
Colonel Oleksandr Oksanchenko, a well-known display pilot, was said to be the Su-27 pilot. The pilot was posthumously granted the title of "Hero of Ukraine" by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the President's Office revealed on social media on March 1, 2022.
S-400 Triumph Air Defence Missile System
The S-400 Triumf is one of the world's most modern and powerful air defence systems, capable of defending against practically any type of aerial attack, including drones, missiles, and even stealth fighter jets.
The missile system can "simultaneously engage 36 targets" and can take on virtually any airborne target within a range of 400 kilometres. The S-400 features four different types of missiles with ranges of 40, 100, 200, and 400 kilometres.

Теорема двойственности Фенхеля — это результат в теории выпуклых функций, носящий имя немецкого математика Вернера Фенхеля.

Пусть ƒ  —   , а g — собственная вогнутая функция на . Тогда, если удовлетворены условия регулярности,

где  является выпуклым сопряжением функции ƒ (которое называется преобразованием Фенхеля — Лежандра), а  — вогнутым сопряжением функции g. То есть,

Математическая теорема
Пусть X и Y будут банаховыми пространствами,  и  — выпуклыми функциями, а  будет ограниченным линейным отображением.  Тогда задачи Фенхеля

удовлетворяют слабой двойственности, то есть . Заметим, что  являются выпуклыми сопряжениями функций f и g соответственно, а  является сопряжённым оператором.   для этой двойственной задачи задаётся формулой .

Предположим, что f, g и A удовлетворяет либо
 f и g полунепрерывны снизу и , где  — , а , где h — некоторая функция, является множеством , либо
 , где   — это точки, где функция непрерывна.
Тогда имеет место сильная двойственность, то есть .  Если , то супремум достигается.

Одномерная иллюстрация

На рисунке иллюстрируется задача минимизации в левой части равенства.  Ищется значение переменной x, такой что вертикальное расстояние между выпуклой и вогнутой кривой в точке x настолько мало, насколько возможно.  Положение вертикальной прямой на рисунке (примерно) оптимально.

Следующий рисунок иллюстрирует задачу максимизации на правой стороне равенства выше.  Касательные, нарисованные для каждой кривой, имеют одинаковый наклон p. Задача заключается в уточнении значения p таким образом, чтобы две касательные были как можно дальше друг от друга (точнее так, что точки пересечения их с осью y были как можно дальше друг от друга). Механически, можно представить касательные как металлические стержни, соединённые вертикальными пружинами, которые их расталкивают, а параболы ограничивают положение стержней.

Теорема Фенхеля утверждает, что эти две задачи имеют одно и то же решение. Точки, имеющие минимальное вертикальное разделение также являются точками касания для максимально раздвинутых параллельных касательных.

12 Jun REVIEW – 'Incredibles 2'
Posted at 02:00h in Reviews	by	Doug Jamieson 0 Comments
It's finally here. The Pixar sequel fans have been demanding for the last 14 years. It's a film many thought may never happen. It's a sequel some even suggested didn't need to exist. The Incredibles is considered by many to be one of Pixar's absolute finest films. It's no wonder the wizards of Emeryville have taken their time, especially after the slightly-disappointing Finding Dory, which was equally as delayed and anticipated. How do you deliver when expectations are so dizzyingly high?
But this is the studio that gave us the Toy Story trilogy, where each chapter miraculously raised the bar even higher than the masterpiece that preceded it. If anyone can deliver a supreme sequel, it's Pixar. And, with Incredibles 2, they have absolutely delivered. This is everything fans could hope for. Every bit as entertaining, enjoyable, and joyous as the original, Incredibles 2 is a masterclass of cinema that proves a sequel can meet high expectations, and then some. They've actually pulled this off.
Picking up quite literally where the 2004 original film ended, Incredibles 2 throws us right back into the action, as The Incredibles (otherwise known as the Parr family) join forces to battle their latest adversary, The Underminer (perennial Pixar voice talent John Ratzenberger). With the assistance of their trusted partner Lucius Best/Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson), Bob/Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), Helen/Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), Violet (Sarah Vowell) and Dash (Huck Milner) manage to save Metropolias from the Underminer's wrath. But with government authorities still outlawing superheroism, the family are promptly arrested.
Let off with a stern warning, the Parr family are deflated to learn their actions have led to the Incredibles' trusted advisor and identity protector, Rick Dicker (Jonathan Banks taking over from the late Bud Luckey) being forced to shut down his Super Relocation Program, leaving them to fend for themselves. But a lifeline soon arrives in the form of Winston and Evelyn Deavor (the ever-reliable Bob Odenkirk and a sublime Catherine Keener), a brother-sister duo who manage DEVTECH, a colossal telecommunications corporation. Winston, a lifelong "Supers" fanatic, is keen to see the end of Metropolias' superhero ban and believes he can help make it happen.
Thinking an image makeover and some good PR will help change public perception, Winston suspects placing Elastigirl at the forefront of crimefighting is the wisest idea, given, historically speaking, she has caused less collateral damage than her somewhat-brutish husband. As Helen reluctantly heads off for New Urbrem to be the new superhero poster girl, this leaves Bob to adapt to his new role as Mr. Mom. Taking care of introverted Violet, boisterous Dash, and little Jack-Jack proves more difficult than Bob could imagine, especially when he discovers Jack-Jack is gifted with more superpowers than any other family member. And they're completely out of control.
While Bob struggles with his new "single Dad" duties, even desperately turning to his child-loathing costume designer pal Edna Mode (another scene-stealing turn from Brad Bird) for help, Helen quickly thrives in her new role. She can't help but enjoy the newfound liberation from the confines of parenthood and the chance to see Elastigirl take the spotlight usually reserved for her husband. But when a mysterious supervillain known as the Screenslaver (Bill Wise) begins to create chaos on the streets of New Urbrem, she may find going it alone isn't the answer after all.
The crux of the sequel's narrative naturally plays on the daring role-reversal of Mr. Incredible being side-lined in favour of his equally-talented-but-oft-overlooked wife taking centre stage. It's a nice touch for the modern age to place a female superhero in the lead. It worked wonders (pun intended) for Wonder Woman, and it's a decidedly refreshing change here too. Hunter takes the advantage given to her, delivering a stellar voice-over performance as a woman finally coming into her own. It's the attention Elastigirl has clearly long deserved, and it's the role audiences will naturally cheer for. And it obviously stands as a great message of female empowerment for viewers of all ages.
On the flip side, the manic homelife of Bob and the kids provide plenty of humour, with our beleaguered and exhausted dad hopelessly attempting to navigate the trials and tribulations of a stay-at-home-parent. A brilliant montage of the monotonous and repetitive daily parental routine that is rearing children will ring true for fatigued parents everywhere. While these situations are fairly cliché and expected, which is a little disappointing for Pixar, they come from an earnest and authentic place, potentially crafted by writer/director Brad Bird's own experiences with parenthood. The big twist towards the climax is also painfully obvious from very early on, which, again, is less than expected from a studio so deft at defying presumptions.
Thankfully, these minor narrative missteps are washed away by Bird's marvellous screenplay, filled with hilarious one-liners, fresh dialogue, and brilliant slapstick humour. Jack-Jack's face-off with a wily raccoon is a hysterical triumph, and it's no surprise the youngster rightly steals this entire film, particularly as his powers become more outrageous. We're also introduced to a group of new superhero friends under Winston's tutorship, whose powers are rather unique, to say the least. Brick from Wisconsin deserves his own spin-off immediately.
As with all Pixar films, Incredibles 2 looks and sounds stunning. The action sequences are gloriously animated with dazzling flair and thrilling spectacle. The exhilarating set-pieces rival anything Marvel can dish up, and that's saying something. Ralph Eggleston's beautiful production design work is just as wonderfully nostalgic and sentimental as in the original. And Michael Giacchino's lively brass-heavy, James Bond-esque score is the perfect accompaniment, once again. Give him an Oscar nomination this time, please. Special mention also goes to the sound design team for one particular sequence where Jack-Jack disappears and you'll hear his giggles in various speakers around your cinema, which is the perfect use of a surround sound system. It's truly ingenious.
But the heart of Incredibles 2 is the Parr family, and the film stands as a wonderful example of the power of familial connection. Their interactions with each other are the real highlights, whether they're bickering incessantly or providing the love and support we know is always hiding beneath the conflict. We see their deep insecurities and vulnerabilities, particularly in prepubescent Violet, and the subtext is as deeply layered and multi-dimensional as the original. And that's the true victory of this sequel. It takes everything that was great about its predecessor and builds on those values further to deliver something that may even outshine what came before.
That's a big call to make, but, somehow, Incredibles 2 feels more poignant, self-aware, and sophisticated than the original. And much more entertaining. It's an absolute joy from start to finish. It's able to hit the ground running and never look back. Like all of Pixar's finest films, Incredibles 2 works for audiences of all ages. Parents will be as dazzled and delighted as their children. 20-somethings who were kids when the original came out will be swept right back into the film they fell in love with 14 years ago. It's another home-run from the indomitable force that is Pixar, and stands as one of their absolute best and one of the best films of 2018.

FX, 30 October
Shane and Otis's Excellent Adventure doesn't end so well, while Lori and Rick face losing their son…
While there's more of the wandering about in the woods (at night, would you believe it?) and the tedious hunt for Sophia continues, this instalment of The Walking Dead features some welcome moral dilemmas.
Without the medicine or equipment needed, vet Hershel prepares to operate on wounded Carl, a procedure the kid may not survive. As with the previous episode, the cast do their best with the material presented to them, but both Sarah Wayne Callis and Andrew Lincoln deliver lines and performances that are a bit too obvious. Both have been better elsewhere (and, indeed, in this show). There is a great moment, however, when Carl appears to stop breathing and just for a second you think 'they're going to kill the kid!' After all, anything seems possible on this show. The parents debate about what kind of future their son might face kicks off the live-or-die theme of the episode.
Wandering the woods brings Daryl and Andrea face-to-feet with an unhappy camper who has hung himself, then turned zombie and is still twitching. It's a great image, and faced with his suffering, Andrea re-evaluates her own desire for death.
Finally comes the main talking point of this instalment: Shane's shooting of Otis. Clearly, the big man is slowing Shane down, and he needs to get the supplies back to the farmhouse. It's about survival. Factor in that Otis also shot Carl in the first place, and Shane's motives in shooting him in the leg and leaving him to the zombies (versus shooting him in the head and sparing him that fate) and his decision looks like righteous punishment. He's clearly shaken by his own actions, and this should make for an interesting character trajectory in episodes to come (especially as Shane exits the comic books much earlier).
Verdict: Gripping stuff, with some much needed character development.
Episode 3: 'Save the Last One': 8/10

Fabio Fognini was kicked out of the US Open doubles tournament on Saturday and faces a possible permanent ban from all Grand Slam events after vulgarly insulting the chair umpire during his first-round loss in singles.
If the Grand Slam Board determines Fognini committed a "major offence," the Italian also could be fined up to $250,000 for violating the code of conduct.
Fognini, who was seeded 22nd in singles, was fined a total of $24,000 on Friday by the US Open – nearly half of his $50,000 prize money in singles – for unsportsmanlike conduct during his 6-4, 7-6 (8), 3-6, 6-0 loss to Stefano Travaglia on Wednesday. Fognini was cited by the tournament for three violations, carrying fines of $15,000, $5,000 and $4,000. The chair umpire was Louise Engzell.
After they won their second-round match on Friday – but before any repercussions for what happened in singles had been announced – Fognini was asked about the possibility of being penalized.
"When someone makes a mistake, they apologize. Accepted or not accepted, at this point that's not up to me," said Fognini, who is married to 2015 US. Open women's singles champion Flavia Pennetta. "Everyone makes mistakes. Certainly, I've had bad days. And I will have others, like every human being."
The board said the major offences were under the sections of Article IV, dealing with "aggravated behaviour" and "conduct contrary to the integrity of the game." Violation of either section could lead to the permanent suspension from the four major tournaments and the $250,000 penalty.

Q: How to setup transparent ssh when there are multiple servers My desktop is Ubuntu. There is a host class with name my_host_machine, which includes several servers like: my_host_machine_1, my_host_machine001,my_host_machine__123, etc. It's uncertain which server will be connected when I ssh my_host_machine. And directly connecting to a server like my_host_machine_1 gets time out.
We are supposed to use one of those servers as a proxy to get access to another server a_remote_server. Directly ssh to a_remote_server from the local desktop is forbidden.
My question is, can I directly connect to a_remote_server from my desktop via proxy command?
I tried setting ~/.ssh/config on my local desktop as on this page.
Host Remote
  HostName a_remote_server
  User Tom
  Port 22
  ProxyCommand ssh Tom@my_host_machine nc %h %p %r

It returns
nc: port range not valid
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
What's wrong with my config file?

A: Use
ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p Tom@my_host_machine

or just
ProxyCommand ssh Tom@my_host_machine nc %h %p

netcat does not accept username as a argument.

Sho'ayb was a direct descendant of Ibrahim from his later wife named Quturah. He was appointed prophet by Allah to the people of Midyan and Aykah, who lived on the east of Mount Sinai. He was the father-in-law of Musa, who had taken refuge with him after the Pharaoh of Egypt had banished him into the Sinai desert.
The people of Midyan and Aykah cheated on weights and measures.They waylaid caravans and were corrupt morally. They jeered at the teachings of Sho'ayb and challenged him to show them what he meant by the punishment of Allah, if indeed there was such a God. Their insolence reached such heights that Allah sent His wrath upon them which they had demanded. The people of Midyan were destroyed by roaring thunder and violent earth quakes. The people of Aykah were covered with darkness that emitted fire, destroying most living beings. None except for a handful of true believers survived these calamities.

Solas Centre Submission to Scottish Government Regarding Same Sex Marriage
Solas Submission to Scottish Government Consultation on Same Sex Marriage
The Solas Centre for Public Christianity has made a submission to the Scottish Government Consultation on Same Sex Marriage. The submission is written by Gordon Wilson, the former leader of the Scottish National Party and Chairman of Solas, and WRF member David Robertson, the Director of Solas and Minister of St Peters Free Church in Dundee. Solas is an ecumenical Christian charity whose aim is to promote the positive teaching of Christianity in the public sphere.
The submission argues that the key issue here is not one of homosexual rights and equality, but rather one of the definition of marriage. It is argued that no government has the right to 'redefine' marriage and that indeed to attempt to do so is to destroy marriage. The authors also contend that this attack on marriage is a violation of the human rights of those who have been married under the traditional understanding of marriage and is in violation of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the European Convention of Human Rights.
The submission expresses concern at the continuing attacks upon the Christian understanding of marriage and the increasing intolerance that these attacks manifest in contemporary secular culture. The Scottish Parliament is urged to reject same sex marriage. The authors argue that if the relationship of Scotland to the rest of the United Kingdom is worthy of a referendum, then the relationship of Scotland to that most vital of societal institutions, marriage, is also worthy of a referendum.

Q: TFS 2008: Checkin cannot proceed because the policy requirements have not been satisfied We have a project with many developers. Some use Visual Studio 2008 Professional with TFS Client, others use Visual Studio 2008 Team System.
We have checkin policies that there should be a comment and it should be connected to a work item.
Some of the developers with Visual Studio 2008 Professional are getting the following error:

Checkin cannot proceed because the policy requirements have not been satisfied

Even if the conditions have been satisfied. For a while we were also getting this on a VS Team System installation, but that seems to have solved itself.
Any Ideas why we are getting this error? Are we missing an update?

A: I believe the check-in policy to require a comment is part of the TFS Power Tools, not directly part of Visual Studio.  Could it be that some of your users haven't installed the power tools?

The era of Romantic music is defined as the period of European classical music that runs roughly from 1820 to 1900, as well as music written according to the norms and styles of that period. It was the start of a new set of ideas. It started as a reaction against the Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution, and the scientific rationalization of nature. This new era of music was jumpstarted by the famous Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 -1827). He is known to be the predominant figure in the transitions period between the Classical and Romantic era.
The Romantic period was preceded by the classical period and the late classical period of which most music is by Beethoven. Music from the Romantic era used the structures from previous time periods and expanded on them. Romantic music is related to romanticism in literature, visual arts, and philosophy, though the conventional time periods used in musicology are now very different from their counterparts in the other arts, which define "romantic" as running from the 1780s to the 1840s. The Romanticism movement held that there were inescapable realities in the world which could only be reached through emotion, feeling and intuition. Romantic music struggled to increase emotional expression and power to describe these deeper truths, while preserving or even extending the formal structures from the classical period. The vernacular use of the term "romantic music" applies to music which is thought to evoke a soft mood or dreamy atmosphere. This usage is rooted in the connotations of the word "romantic" that were established during the period, but not all "Romantic" pieces fit this description, with some musical romanticism producing strong, harsh sounds for agitated emotion. Conversely, music that is "romantic" in the modern everyday usage of the word (that is, relating to the emotion of romantic love) is not necessarily linked to the Romantic period. Ludwig van Beethoven personified the attitude that music was "a direct outpouring" of a composer's personality, his individual triumphs and tragedies. This became a prevalent Romantic notion.
Romanticism celebrates metaphor, ambiguity, suggestion, allusion and symbol and as a result, instrumental music, which was shunned by the early Church, is now favored over music with words due to its "incomparable power of suggestion" and mystery. Music theorists of the Romantic era established the concept of tonality to describe the harmonic vocabulary inherited from the Baroque and Classical periods. Romantic composers sought to fuse the large structural harmonic planning demonstrated by earlier masters such as Bach, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven with further chromatic innovations, in order to achieve greater fluidity and contrast, and to meet the needs of longer works. Chromaticism grew more varied, as did consonance and dissonance and their resolution. Composers modulated to increasingly remote keys, and their music often prepared the listener less for these modulations than the music of the classical era. Sometimes, instead of a pivot chord, a pivot note was used. The properties of the diminished seventh and related chords, which facilitate modulation to many keys, were also extensively used. Composers such as Beethoven expanded the harmonic language with previously-unused chords, or innovative chord progressions.
The greater harmonic elusiveness and fluidity, the longer melodies, and the use of literary inspirations were all present prior to the Romantic period. However, some composers of the Romantic period adopted them as the central pursuit of music itself. Romantic composers were also influenced by technological advances, including an increase in the range and power of the piano and the improved chromatic abilities and greater projection of the instruments of the symphony orchestra. By the second decade of the nineteenth century, the shift towards new sources of musical inspiration, along with an increasing chromaticism in melody and more expressive harmony, became a palpable stylistic shift. The forces underlying this shift were not only musical, but economic, political and social. A new generation of composers emerged in post-Napoleonic Europe, among whom were Beethoven, Ludwig Spohr, ETA Hoffman, and Carl Maria von Weber. These composers grew up amidst the dramatic expansion of public concert life during the late 18th and early nineteenth centuries, which partly shaped their subsequent styles and expectations. Beethoven was extremely influential as among the first composers to work freelance rather than being employed full-time by a royal or ecclesiastic patron. During the late Romantic period, some composers created styles and forms associated with their national folk cultures.
The notion that there were "German" and "Italian" styles had long been established in writing on music, but the late nineteenth century saw the rise of a nationalist Russian style, and also Czech, Finnish and French nationalist styles of composition. Some composers were expressly nationalistic in their objectives, seeking to rediscover their country's national identity in the face of occupation or oppression. Beethoven was born during music's Classical period, which lasted from the mid-18th century to the early 19th century. It was a time when accessible, entertaining, elegant music was in vogue. Composers throughout Europe wrote in strict, predictable musical forms, and they were more interested in presenting beautiful, orderly sounds than exploring intense human emotions. Many famous composers lived during this era and they were all strongly influenced by Beethoven and his individuality in his style of music. Each composer of the Romantic Era developed his own style, which made them easily identifiable through their music. Beethoven is one of the most widely recognized and admired composers. He was born in Bonn, Germany in 1770 and grew up in a musical family. At the age of 21, he moved to Vienna where he began studying composition and gained a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. By his late 20s, his hearing began to deteriorate and by the last decade of his life he was almost totally deaf. Many of his most admired works came from the last 15 years of his life. The major elements of his music include: the use of folk songs and emphasis on expression and emotions. He made arrangements of over 150 folk songs.
He also influenced romantic composers with his use of melodies. Beethoven was a composer of the Classical Period but he was also a forerunner of the Romantic Period in terms of musical style.

There is nothing better than receiving a personalised gift; something picked and created especially for you. If picked right these types of gift can be a real treasure and source of long time happiness.
Most of us have homes full of clutter and the idea of yet another "useless" gift received for my birthday or a name day makes me cringe inside. I know that I might be different than others but I like practical gift, something I can use, something of good quality which I can enjoy for many years to come.
I've always liked storage containers and this pair looks perfect to me – they are airtight, have lovely retro style and would make for a wonderful gift… after all who doesn't love biscuits and coffee?
Beautiful looking and extremely useful for any cheese lover out there and to make it better you can engrave it with any name you want and add to it any definition you want.
I picked this one because in addition to the message you can add your own picture as well. I really like the idea of them and I think I might just order some for us.
This isn't just a rolling pin with your name on it. This pin can be personalised with your message which will be later left on your cookies… or anything else you roll with it.
I hope you enjoyed my little list here.

NEW YORK (JTA) — The Zionist Organization of America has filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in support of President Donald Trump's most recent ban on travel from a number of predominately Muslim countries.
The group, which has been an outspoken supporter of Trump's policies, in its brief said the action did not amount to a "Muslim Ban" or violate the Constitution. On Wednesday, ZOA released a statement announcing its Feb. 28 filing of the brief.
"The Proclamation's vital purpose exemplifies our most fundamental, overriding value of protecting American lives," the group's president, Morton Klein, said in the statement.
On Friday, at least six Jewish civil rights groups signed onto a joint amicus brief, spearheaded by the Anti-Defamation League, urging the Supreme Court to block the executive order. The American Jewish Committee also filed a brief opposing the ban.
