Two Tuesday Quotes: Nathanael Greene and Ella Baker
Outside dining at Natty Greene's
So much inspiration from my past few days spent with Chris Gandy. One of many highlights were two trips into Greensboro to dine at Natty Greene's. Named after the Revolutionary War General Nathanael Greene and home to the International Civil Rights Center and Museum, this quiet southern city not only bears the name of an important historical figure but also is home to a seminal event in the history of the civil rights movement in America: the Greensboro Lunch Counter Sit-In. At times it is easy to get lost in the stereotypes of the South, at which point your mind becomes mired in the negative and you become a host for further growth of the dark cloud. After 32 years of living in Jacksonville, FL I have come to love the pockets of light which stand opposed to the condemning stares of the world and these two individual are such examples. Even further off the labeled path (and here I go a bit off topic for the sake of my soap box) is the literature, art and ethic in this part of America. While Mississippi's racism and North Carolina's recent Amendment 1 validate the boilerplate, there is an ideal and a lifestyle which is both romantic an admirable. Hopefully these two individuals will directly represent the latter sentiment.
The irony in these two figures is that Greene, while a person who was elemental in American winning its independence, when pressed on the issue of enslaving Africans by his Quaker friend Warner Mifflin he noted it could not be defended yet gave an "excuse" as to why it was necessary, responding that they would be treated well. A difficult pill in our history with respect to the birthing of the ideal amidst the disease of slavery. You can read about that conversation and more here.
Learning is not virtue but the means to bring us an acquaintance with it. Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful. Let these be your motives to action through life, the relief of the distressed, the detection of frauds, the defeat of oppression, and diffusion of happiness.
– Nathanael Greene
Strong people don't need strong leaders.
– Ella Baker

About Greene
One of the most trusted generals of the Revolutionary army was Nathanael Greene, Washington's friend and comrade-in-arms. The Greene family was among the earliest settlers in Rhode Island and helped establish the colony. John Greene was the founder of the family in the new colony. Nathanael Greene was born July 27, 1742 (old style, which is August 7, 1742 new style). His education was limited but he received a thorough training in the books which were available at his time, especially the Bible, upon which were built his habits of living, moral ideals and purposes.
In due course Greene used every possible moment to read books and saved his money to buy books so that eventually he acquired a large library. Greene had also been taught blacksmithing and the milling work. His father purchased a mill in Coventry which was assigned to Nathanael to manage. He took an active part in community affairs. He knew the value of education and helped establish the first public school in Coventry. He also added books on military science to his library which he studied diligently.
(At the battle at the Guilford Court House) In the early part of the struggle Greene lost his artillery, but the artillery would not have helped much in the heavily wooded section. However, the British forces were stopped, crippled and in a serious situation. The British lost (killed, wounded and missing) 633 men. The American losses were much lower than the British. The enemy losses were so heavy because of the accurate marksmanship of the American riflemen. After the battle the British were in serious straits. Shortly after the battle Cornwallis began to retreat and Greene started in pursuit, but he was so short of ammunition that he could not accomplish very much. Consequently, he gave up the pursuit and his army was reduced in size since the terms of the militia expired. Cornwallis continued a rapid retreat to Wilmington in their march into Virginia. Greene had freed the State of North Carolina from the major forces of the British army and that he was able to accomplish this with an inefficient and poorly equipped army, reveals that a moral as well as a military victory was on his side.
Congress gave him official recognition for the eminent service he rendered for his country. Washington also expressed his gratitude for the services of his friend and comrade-in-arms, as it was Washington who had sent Greene to perform the unusually difficult task. When he returned to Rhode Island, he was given a warm and hospitable reception. However, he determined to move to the south and develop his estate, "Mulberry Grove," located on the Savannah River.

About Baker
Ella Jo Baker was born on December 13, 1903, in Norfolk, Virginia. She developed a sense for social justice early in her life. As a girl growing up in North Carolina, Baker listened to her grandmother tell stories about slave revolts. As a slave, her grandmother had been whipped for refusing to marry a man chosen for her by the slave owner.
Baker studied at Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina. As a student she challenged school policies that she thought were unfair. After graduating in 1927 as class valedictorian, she moved to New York City and began joining social activist organizations. In 1930, she joined the Young Negroes Cooperative League, whose purpose was to develop black economic power through collective planning. She also involved herself with several women's organizations. She was committed to economic justice for all people and once said, "People cannot be free until there is enough work in this land to give everybody a job."
Ella Baker began her involvement with the NAACP in 1940. She worked as a field secretary and then served as director of branches from 1943 until 1946. Inspired by the historic bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955, Baker co-founded the organization In Friendship to raise money to fight against Jim Crow Laws in the deep South.
In 1957, Baker moved to Atlanta to help organize Martin Luther King's new organization, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). She also ran a voter registration campaign called the Crusade for Citizenship.
On February 1, 1960, a group of black college students from North Carolina A&T University refused to leave a Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina where they had been denied service. Baker left the SCLC after the Greensboro sit-ins. She wanted to assist the new student activists because she viewed young, emerging activists as a resource and an asset to the movement. Miss Baker organized a meeting at Shaw University for the student leaders of the sit-ins in April 1960. From that meeting, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee — SNCC — was born. (Source)
About the Sit-Ins
In 1960 four freshmen from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College in Greensboro walked into the F. W. Woolworth store and quietly sat down at the lunch counter. They were refused service, but they stayed until closing time. The next morning they came with twenty-five more students. On the third day, sixty-three students joined the sit-in. On the following day, the students were joined by three white female students from the Women's College of the University of North Carolina, and by the fifth day Woolworth had more than three hundred demonstrators at the store. The next day the company said they were willing to negotiate, but only token changes were made. The students resumed their sit-ins, the city adopted more stringent segregation policies, and forty-five students were arrested and charged with trespassing. The students were so enraged by this that they launched a massive boycott of stores with segregated lunch counters. Sales dropped by a third, forcing the store owners to relent. Six months from the very first sit-in, the four freshmen returned and were served at Woolworth's lunch counter.
Within a year similar peaceful demonstrations took place in over a hundred cities North and South. At Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina, students formed their own organization, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC, pronounced "Snick"). The students' bravery in the face of verbal and physical abuse led to integration in many stores even before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. (Source)

The Search For Silicon Valley's Women...
Claire Cain Miller at the NYTimes reports: Why So Few Women in Silicon Valley?
Women own 40 percent of the private businesses in the United States, according to the Center for Women's Business Research. But they create only 8 percent of the venture-backed tech start-ups, according to Astia, a nonprofit group that advises female entrepreneurs.
That disparity reaches beyond entrepreneurs. Women account for just 6 percent of the chief executives of the top 100 tech companies, and 22 percent of the software engineers at tech companies over all, according to the National Center for Women and Information Technology. And among venture capitalists, the population of financiers who control the purse strings for a majority of tech start-ups, just 14 percent are women, the National Venture Capital Association says.
It's an old story and the article doesn't come up with anything new.
Not too long ago I asked Judy Estrin, one of our top serial entrepreneurs why there was a gender gap here:
Kay Koplovitz, the former head of USANetworks, has headed many successful companies. She called for more women entrepreneurs last year when she received an SDForum Visionary Award:
Adriana Gascoigne founded Girls in Tech to try and address the issue: Here is my interview with her:
"When women get together we can connect on a deeper level than if men are around," says Ms Gascoigne. "It helps to build confidence and it helps to create stronger relationships."
Men are allowed to some events such as dinners but they have to be a guest of a member.
A lot of women in tech tend to try to blend in, they dress in a similar manner to the men, and they behave in a similar way but this is a mistake she says.
"It is important to embrace feminity, to embrace girliness," says Ms Gascoigne. "Too many women think they need to be more like men to succeed. You don't."
Here is my interview with Telle Whitney, the head of the Anita Borg Institute, which is very focused on increasing the number of women in tech.
Thoughtleaders: Where are the women in technology? Anita Borg Institute aims to shake things up
Ms Whitney said that when she worked in tech research she sometimes felt isolated as a woman. And that isolation sometimes leads to women leaving their company, or their profession, to go and do other things. The Anita Borg Institute wants to reverse that trend and raise the numbers of women in tech research.
Here is the Anita Borg Institute's: The 6 Attributes Of High Ranking Women In Tech
And: Anita Borg Institute - Women Of Vision Winners Announced
Here is Google's Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship
And here is an excerpt from a story by Sand Hill Slave about life in the Silicon Valley VC gulag:
Ladies (and Gentlemen) Executive Assistants,
Do you have a boss that is a complete ass hat? Is he the type of guy you look at and say,"forget closing deals..this fool can't even close a door..."
I had one of those bosses. And with alarming frequency, he would go over his idiot minutes allotment for the week within the first 48 hours. My personal "Bend it for Beckham" fantasy was more likely to come true than this moron ever achieving "rollover" idiot minutes.
What was my damage with this guy?? He was constantly opening up attachments that CLEARLY had a virus and then would give me his laptop to deal with. He'd get the warning about it being a .vbs file but since he was "multitasking " on the phone and didn't pay attention to his screen, he'd go and click on the attachment. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Course of action: I stayed up late a few times over a period of 2 weeks until about 2am, went to work (yes, you read that correctly) and I subscribed his work email address to multiple hardcore gay porn sites for the "free pix of the day".

And here is my PearlTree that collects web sites about women in tech:

In the last few years, more than a few Kentucky educators and education leaders have made their way to San Diego to tour the school, and most of them have returned to Kentucky energized about the possibilities for innovation in public education. I saw such enthusiasm on display again just last night. I was invited by my friend and colleague Dr. Justin Bathon to attend a film screening and discussion for "Most Likely to Succeed" at Lexington's Steam Academy. The film was fantastic and I highly recommend attending or organizing a screening. The film highlighted High Tech High's approach, students, teachers, and parents. And once again, Kentucky educators, parents, and students were inspired to transform classrooms, schools, and school districts into learning environments with similar characteristics as High Tech High. I wasn't surprised.
What does continue to surprise me, however, is that in conversations about High Tech High and education innovation in Kentucky's schools, there is rarely if ever mention of the fact that High Tech High is a charter school. And I'm perceptive enough to know that for educators and education leaders, it's more than just oversight. It's no secret that charter schooling is heresy in Kentucky's traditional public education circles.
To be sure, there are plenty of charter schools in California and across the U.S. that can't hold a candle to what High Tech High is doing. But it is absolutely the case that High Tech High is what it is because of California's charter school law. Its leaders have used the flexibility and autonomy granted to it by California's charter school law to build a school that bears little resemblance to traditional public schools in California or anywhere else. To miss that High Tech High is able to be as different as it is because it is a charter school is to miss something integral to its success.
Policy makers and education leaders in Kentucky should also realize this: If the leaders of High Tech High School wanted to come to Kentucky to replicate the school or create something similar, they couldn't. Why? First and foremost, because Kentucky has no charter school law; so they couldn't apply for a charter to do it. But even if it were current education leaders in a Kentucky school district who wanted to build a Kentucky version of High Tech High, they couldn't; because without a charter school law, there is not nearly the flexibility for schools needed to pull it off in Kentucky.
There is no tenure for teachers at High Tech High. Their teachers sign one-year contracts which may or may not be renewed at the end of the year.
California's charter school law exempts High Tech High (and all California charter schools) from school district collective bargaining agreements.
Leaders at High Tech High exercise an extraordinary amount of curricular and instructional autonomy; the likes of which current Kentucky schools do not have. In fact, a principal or superintendent in Kentucky proposing to alter the curriculum to the extent offered there would likely be laughed out of the state.
Leaders at High Tech High exercise tremendous budget autonomy in aligning personnel, instructional, and facilities expenditures with the the vision and mission of the school.
These are just a few of the areas where California's charter school law has provided the legal flexibility that allows High Tech High to do what it does. There was no magic charter school dust that made the school what it is; but without the flexibility provided by the charter school law, the school wouldn't exist. Education policy does matter. Kentucky's policy makers and education leaders who have fallen in love with the High Tech High model would be shortsighted to not acknowledge that it does.
This past Monday, Kentucky's Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy published the latest in its series of "Free to Learn" debates on public charter schools. If you have not yet checked it out I encourage you to do so at your earliest convenience. You can access the debate by clicking here. By facilitating and publicizing this debate, the Bluegrass Institute is providing a valuable service to Kentuckians.
One of the reasons the public charter school debate in Kentucky is so important and the reason I have participated in this series of debates is that Kentuckians have a right to understand the education policy solutions being debated in Frankfort. Kentuckians have a right to hear all sides of the public charter school policy issue, and then make up their minds about how they feel about public charter schools' potential for Kentucky. It is my sincere belief that once Kentuckians come to understand what high quality public charter school legislation looks like and the promise it holds for addressing some of the intractable issues that our traditional public schools have struggled with for generations, citizens of the commonwealth will be willing to tell their elected officials that Kentucky should give public charter schools a try. I believe once Kentuckians understand both sides of this issue, they will be supportive of public charter school advocates' efforts to create additional high quality public school options for parents. Not one Kentucky family should be forced into the school situations that many Kentucky families now find themselves stuck with. No child in this commonwealth should be trapped in a school that will not or cannot meet her learning needs. Kentucky families need and deserve additional high quality public school options.
U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) is one of a bipartisan group of lawmakers in Congress pushing for the passage of federal legislation which would increase funding intended to encourage the growth of charter schools across the U.S. Bills have now been introduced in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Both the House and Senate versions would consolidate the existing federal grant programs which provide funding for charter schools, and boost federal financial support for charter schools from the $250 million budgeted in fiscal year 2014, to $300 million for fiscal year 2015. Both bills are intended to "increase the number of quality charter schools available" (S.2304), While the bills are very similar, there is a relatively significant difference. With the Senate bill, the Expanding Opportunity through Quality Charter Schools Act (S.2304), more dollars would be reserved for the replication of successful charter schools as opposed to starting brand new schools.
The House bill, the Success and Opportunity through Quality Charter Schools Act (H.R. 10), passed out of the House Committee on Education and Workforce with bipartisan support in a 36-3 vote, and it passed with bipartisan support in the full House with a 360-45 vote. The Senate bill is currently under consideration with the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. It too has relatively strong bipartisan support and a good chance of passing favorably out of the committee and passing in the full Senate.
Bipartisan sponsorship and support for these bills in both the House and Senate is evidence that charter school policy is no longer the politically divisive education reform issue that it has been in the past-at least not at the national level. This is not to suggest that lawmakers' political affiliations never factors into policy making decision about charter schools, but it is no longer the case that one can assume a Democrat lawmaker will be unsupportive of efforts to support charter school expansion and strengthen charter schools. While the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) are not likely to become fast friends of charter school advocates, I do believe even those groups are having to come to terms with the fact the charter schools will be a growing part of the public education landscape in the U.S. And as they come to terms with the reality that charter schools are going to be around, it is my hope that charter school policy conversations will turn to ensuring that charter schools have adequate resources and the autonomy they need to be truly innovative, and ensuring that across states, charter schools are consistently held to the high performance accountability standards that are central to the charter school concept.

Decoy Dog: Metal Gear Solid V Multiplayer Announced
Look forward to me growling "Metal Gearrrr" over voicecomm
News by Alice O'Connor News Editor
Published on 8 Dec, 2014
I could not tell you exactly how this toy dog plushie works, how exactly people are distracted by it and end up gazing adoringly into its plastic eyes, but I am keen to find out. Konami have announced that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will have a multiplayer side, bringing back Metal Gear Online. That there dog is one of the class-based sneak-o-shoot's gadgets, which also include the likes of minimechs, cloaking systems, and sentry turrets firing Fulton balloons. I want to play the wacky teamplay mode this first trailer shows.
The semi-gameplay trailer is a little silly in that it's clearly carefully staged, with folks seemingly ignore players right next to them, but it's an exciting performance. How exactly all these gadgets and stealth systems and guns will work in practice, how quickly it descends into shooty-shoots, I don't know, but I like the look of this dream:
Konami are quiet about exactly what's in this MGO for now, but its last iteration in MGS4 had a spread of modes including deathmatch, capture the flag, capture and hold, and CS-ish bombing. Some were stealthier than others.
Metal Gear Online will arrive as part of MGS V: The Phantom Pain. Konami haven't announced a release date but its PC release will surely lag behind anyway, given that its standalone prologue chapter is coming nine months after the console release. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is almost here, though, due on December 18th. You can pore over system requirements and control systems for now if you want.
In very unSolid Metal Gear news, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance last week scooped a trophy for Bestest Best Word in our Bestest Best Games of 2014 awards. It's pretty great, that.

When your muscles have sufficient ATP levels, you should be less susceptible to muscle fatigue, tightness, and cramping.
D-ribose may also help reduce the loss of energy during stress and accelerate energy and tissue recovery.
Energy depletion may negatively affect muscle performance or how you feel after exercise.
The loss of energy in muscles contributes to the common symptoms of stiffness, soreness, weakness, and pain after exercise. Protein synthesis, of vital importance to athletes, can also be affected.
Klean Endurance has been approved by the NSF Certified for Sport program, which was established to meet the growing demands of athletes, coaches, and healthcare professionals to guarantee that sports supplements are free from banned substances.
For best results, take 1-3 chewable tablets within 15-30 minutes before and just after exercise or physical activity. This formula is best taken with a food or sugar source to avoid low blood sugar.
Klean Endurance chewable tablets are sweetened naturally and contain natural orange/vanilla flavoring.
Contains NO: salt, yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, dairy products, artificial flavoring or colors, preservatives or ingredients of animal origin.
Adults: Take 1 to 3 chewable tablets just before (within 15-30 minutes) and just after exercise or physical activity. Best taken with a food or sugar source to prevent low blood sugar from occurring.
Mild, transient hypoglycemia may occur if taken on an empty stomach. Insulin dependent diabetics and pregnant women should consult their physician before use. Keep out of the reach of children.
Although D-ribose is a pentose sugar, it does not raise blood sugar levels. D-ribose is rapidly and readily (approx. 95%) absorbed with peak blood levels found within 30 to 45 minutes after ingestion.

Birmingham Bach Choir is one of the Birmingham's oldest musical groups, predating both the City of Birmingham Symphony Chorus and the City of Birmingham Choir.

The choir's aim is to give inspiring live performances to a professional standard that engage with audiences, with a mix of new and established repertoire.

Brief History

The origins of Birmingham Bach Choir date back to October 1919 and the formation of the Birmingham Bach Society which was established by Bernard Jackson, a Bach enthusiast and musicologist.

In 1929 the choir was re-established as The Birmingham Bach Club and affiliated to The Bach Cantata Club in London. Dr. Allen Blackhall, organist at St. Mary's, Warwick and subsequently Principal of the Birmingham School of Music, was appointed conductor.

The society was returned to the name Birmingham Bach Society in 1947.

Richard Butt was appointed as Conductor and Director of Music in 1966 ushering in a new era for the choir, which included major changes to organisation and programming as choral performances were accompanied by recitals by such leading figures as Yehudi Menuhin, Paul Tortelier and George Malcolm.

Links also developed with Leipzig and Bach's own Church of St. Thomas's. The Choir was invited to give a performance of Bach's Mass in B minor there in 1989 with the Leipzig Radio Orchestra - an event they describe as "one of the great crowning achievements in the life of the Choir."

During Richard Butt's time various commissions were undertaken, in particular from David Lord, Rory Boyle and Paul Spicer (Darling of the World).

Paul Spicer: 1992-present

Paul Spicer took over as Conductor in 1992 after being invited to apply by Richard Butt the year before.

Shortly after Paul joined, the choir changed its name to the Birmingham Bach Choir, and extended its repertoire into the 20th century and contemporary music, notably works by Benjamin Britten, Edward Elgar, Gerald Finzi, Herbert Howells and John Joubert.

The choir has continued to premiere new choral works, including Spicer's The Deciduous Cross, a work based on five poems by RS Thomas commissioned for Paul's 10th anniversary as conductor; Easter Oratorio which was recorded by the Choir with Lichfield Cathedral Choristers and Special Choir and the English Symphony Orchestra in 2005; and Unfinished Remembering, at Birmingham Symphony Hall in 2014, to commemorate the centenary of the start of the Great War. The performance of Unfinished Remembering was described by the Birmingham Post as "one of the most important concerts" in the choir's history.

Other premieres include Universal Nature by John Joubert (commissioned by Nicholas Fisher for the choir and first performed in 1994); My Heart Danceth by Eleanor Alberga (commissioned by the choir as part of a nationwide series of concerts celebrating the eightieth birthday of John Joubert, composer and patron of the Choir, and debuted in 2007); and Steal Away, a spiritual-based piece written by Paul Spicer as part of the choir's 2019 centenary.

In 2019, Roderick Williams was announced as a Patron, as part of the choir's year long centenary celebrations, which included an autumn Gala Concert at Lichfield Cathedral.

Repertoire

Although the main focus of the choir is the Baroque period, they perform music spanning over 500 years including 20th and 21st century works.

Discussing the Choir's repertoire, Paul Spicer told MusicWeb International's John Quinn: "Whenever we do Bach we feel we're coming home, so it is a Bach choir, very much with a purpose. But we have a very broad-based repertoire indeed and we go back a long way before Bach and come right up to the present day. And, of course, with my particular interest in twentieth century British music we've done a huge amount of that over these years."

Commissions and First Performances

The choir has premiered numerous new choral pieces by distinguished composers, many of them commissioned. These include Wofully Araide commissioned from David Lord (1970); Best Glorious Man (1991) and The Rochester Triptych (1994) by John Jourbert (1991); Love and Life by Adrian Partington (1999); How God Answers the Soul by Aaron Jay Kernis (1996); as well as numerous pieces by Paul Spicer including A Shared Singing and Unfinished Remembering (2014), Festival (2015) and The Darling of the World (1986).

Critical reception

The choir have been described as one of the UK's leading large chamber choirs

They have been praised for their "wonderful breadth of tone" and "thought-provoking" performances,<ref>Review: Birmingham Bach Choir, St Paul's Church in Hockley Birmingham Post, Maggie Cotton, 29 June 2015, accessed 4 April 2019.</ref> boasting "an impressive team of soloists."

Discography

 Easter Oratorio'' (2005)- described by MusicWeb International as "a substantial work" with the choir "singing with good tone and dynamic range, clarity and conviction."

Tinashe as Mimi & Brennin Hunt as Roger in Fox's "Rent"
You okay, honey? Ratings weren't so great for Sunday night's Fox network presentation of Jonathan Larson's groundbreaking musical Rent. The Tony and Pulitzer winner about a group of friends surviving and thriving in New York City at the height of the AIDS crisis was seen by just 3.4 million viewers, falling below every television musical since the first, NBC's Sound of Music Live (18.6 million) and lower than the previously least-performing, Fox's A Christmas Story Live! (4.5 million), Variety reports. On the bright side, Rent was one of the highest performers of Sunday-night television in the demographic of ages 18-49.
Directed by original Rent helmer Michael Greif and featuring stage stars including Hamilton alums Jordan Fisher and Brandon Victor Dixon and Waitress vet Keala Settle, Fox's presentation hit a speedbump during dress rehearsal when an injury was sustained by Brennin Hunt, who was cast as Roger, forcing the network to offer up a pre-recorded version for much of the night. Capping the evening was a live appearance by the original cast of Rent singing a "Seasons of Love" reprise that kept fans happy.
The next TV musical set to air is Hair Live!, scheduled for May 19 on NBC. Also to come are NBC's currently delayed live play A Few Good Men starring Alec Baldwin and the musical Bye Bye Birdie headlined by Jennifer Lopez. Currently, Fox doesn't have another musical event planned.

Amazon's digital comics platform ComiXology is pushing further into creating original content.
The company has announced four new projects spanning a variety of genres, marking the first creator-owned titles under the ComiXology Originals banner.
The four titles are Savage Game, created by NFL player Ryan Kalil, written by Shawn Kittelsen and art by Chris B. Murray; Superfreaks, from writers Elsa Charretier and Pierrick Colinet, with art from newcomer Margaux Saltel; Elephantmen 2261: The Death of Shorty, a continuation of the long-running series from creator and writer Richard Starkings alongside artists Axel Medellin and Boo Cook; and Ask For Mercy, again written by Starkings, with art from Abigail Jill Harding.
These titles will be released in a number of formats; Savage Game is a 60-page graphic novel, available for $4.99 via ComiXology and Amazon, but also as a $6.99 print-on-demand title from Amazon.com, while the other three titles will be released in a traditional single issue miniseries format. Both the five-part Elephantmen and the six-part Ask for Mercy will be released monthly — with a print collection available once serialization is over via Amazon.com's print-on-demand service — but all five issues of Superfreaks will be released simultaneously for binge reading. Each of the titles will be available for free reading for Amazon Prime, Kindle Unlimited and ComiXology Unlimited subscribers.
The announcement of the new ComiXology Unlimited titles was made during a live-stream event on Twitch, broadcast to Amazon Books locations and Amazon pop-up kiosks across the U.S. The event, hosted by Marcus "djWHEAT" Graham, also unveiled ComiXology's new "Always Original" ad campaign to push the new launches; attendees at the Amazon locations received free print editions of the Savage Game graphic novel.
In a statement accompanying the event, ComiXology's head of content Chip Mosher said, "We're proud to offer these creator-owned titles where creators keep their IP rights and are motivated to bring their A-game to the benefit of readers everywhere. Helping bring these incredible titles to fans lets us experiment with different release strategies like a binge-style drop of a whole series, high quality print-on-demand, and day-and-date inclusion in Prime Reading, Kindle Unlimited and ComiXology Unlimited."
Friday's announcement comes ahead of further titles being revealed for the line next month at San Diego Comic-Con. Creators named by ComiXology working on upcoming material for the line include Sam Humphries, Tyler Crook, Hope Nicholson, Kel McDonald, Tim Seely, Jen Vaughn, Magdalene Visaggio and Spike Trotman.
More information about the four titles announced Friday can be found here, but Heat Vision has an exclusive look at pages from Savage Game by Kalil, Kittelsen and Murray.
"We are very honored to be releasing Savage Game with ComiXology Originals," Aroop Sanakkayala, who co-founded Strange Turn Entertainment with Ryan Kalil, told Heat Vision. "When Ryan and I started Strange Turn Entertainment, we wanted to focus not only on the best and most creative stories, but also on the most innovative ways to distribute our books to new audiences. The team at ComiXology have created a revolutionary service combining the best in e-reading and print-on-demand that is truly remarkable. We are incredibly excited for what the future has in store for both Savage Game and comiXology Originals."

Marin hopes pandemic-related restrictions can be dropped in October
Prime Minister Sanna Marin (SDP) said following today's government talks that an updated coronavirus strategy should be approved in Monday, 6 September.
According to the head of government, the level of vaccination required to lift restrictive measures will probably be reached in October. Then, it is estimated that over 80% of the country's population over the age of 12 will be fully vaccinated.
The Prime Minister added that the Corona Passport is a tool that will help avoid restrictive measures. According to her, he will act on a voluntary basis.
Also, the head of government said that the issue of canceling the mandatory safe distance is still under development. According to Marin, the parliament will consider it as soon as possible. The cancellation of this restrictive measure is especially awaited by cultural and sports figures.

Nissan Releases Fleet of 'Star Wars' Show Cars
When Nissan announced its partnership with Lucasfilm to promote Star Wars: The Last Jedi, we were all excited. When the two brands joined forces last year for Rogue One, not only did we get commercials, but we also got a special edition Nissan Rogue on sale in the US and a Rogue turned into an X-wing fighter. It seems as if Nissan is upping its game this time around, as the brand revealed not one but seven Star Wars themed show cars at the LA Auto Show this week.

In the automotive world, manufacturers usually display two types of cars at an auto show: concepts and production vehicles. Production vehicles are, like the name suggests, models that are currently being built and that can be bought by customers. Concept cars are dramatic vehicles with the purpose of showing off what a manufacturer's designers can do, and they usually give a peek into the features that might make it to production vehicles in the far future. From our experience, it's quite unusual for an automaker to create so many show cars, which are pure fantasy.
But do we really care about that when the cars are so awesome?
Take a look at our slideshow below to see the 2018 Nissan Altima as a Special Forces TIE Fighter, a Kylo Ren 2018 Nissan Maxima, another Nissan Maxima to represent Kylo Ren's TIE Silencer, a 2018 Nissan Rogue as Poe Damerson's X-wing fighter (complete with BB-8 on the top), Captain Phasma imagined as a 2018 Nissan Maxima, the 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport as an A-wing space ship, and the 2018 Nissan Titan as an AT-M6. If all of these terms sound like a foreign language to you, we recommend you rent Star Wars: The Force Awakens to brush up on your lore.*

"We're back this year collaborating with Lucasfilm and the artists at Industrial Light & Magic to create these amazing concept vehicles across some of our best-selling models," said Jeremy Tucker, vice president, Marketing Communications & Media, Nissan North America, Inc. "These show vehicles were created for our fans, and will be unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show and shared across the country in regional auto shows over the next several months."

We can't wait for these seven vehicles to be unleashed on regional auto shows (but we selfishly want all of them to be together at the Chicago Auto Show this year).

If you've been keeping up with SSN's latest coverage, you probably know that Lou Fiore has been busy recently as an advocate for the industry. Certainly he's not alone in this respect. But over the last few weeks, Fiore has written a letter (on behalf of the AICC) to the FCC in defense of net neutrality and played a lead role in updating the CP-01 standard, designed to reduce false alarms.
Fiore will now have the chance to apply his advocacy efforts on behalf of the Central Station Alarm Association, now that he's been named interim executive vice president of the organization, effective Oct. 1. He will assume the position held by outgoing EVP Steve Doyle, who is retiring.
Fiore, who serves as president of L.T. Fiore, a consulting firm specializing in the security industry, is closely involved with numerous industry organizations. A major player in the industry standards arena, Fiore is chairman of the Alarm Industry Communications Committee and of the CSAA Standards Committee. He also chairs SIA's Security Industry Standards Council and is a long-time member of the Supervising Station Committee of NFPA 72. He's also been a member of various UL standards technical panels, according to a news release from the CSAA.

Dance Fest just rocked. Hands down, there is no other way to say it. If you look across this issue, you may think to yourself, "Wow, could they have written about something else?"
No, I personally couldn't. It's just been the stand-out highlight of my dancing month! Where else do I get to dance, compete, see my friends from across the Midwest, and just generally have an awesome time? Nowhere. In this, Dance Fest is unique.
This year's event was especially interesting for me for more personal reasons. Two years ago, competing at Star of the North in the newcomer division, I didn't really know anybody, and I marveled along with the others at the seemingly unattainable skill of the dancers competing at gold and above. This year, I won two gold events and greeted my friends from other schools with hugs. They introduced me to new friends from their schools, and now I feel connected to nearly all the teams we compete with.
One of the things that makes this comp so special to me is precisely that: inter-team camaraderie. Even though each couple is competing against every other, and each team is similarly engaged, it's awesome to see people breaking down those barriers and having fun with each other in the on-deck line and during general dances. It's a very different atmosphere from all the other competitions I've been to, and I love it.
I must admit my ego was a little stroked by the event as well. I've come a long way in a relatively short period of time, and it's fun to be recognized for that. Then again, watching the videos and reviewing the pictures afterwards told me a story of untidy body lines, tense shoulders, and sloppy footwork—enough to spend the next few months hammering away at.
Overall, I was really impressed by my team's performance, in terms of both competition and sportsmanship. We dominated several finals with five of seven couples hailing from the University of Minnesota, and U of M couples took first in every standard syllabus event except newcomer foxtrot. Saturday evening at Dance Fest, we took the top place in both team matches, rounding out an excellent competitive weekend for the U. I'd try to go through all the different couples and placements, but it would just take too long.
The U of M competition team did quite well off the floor, too. I've received many thank yous from other schools in appreciation of the gracious hosting they experienced. I saw many of my teammates bring their dancing to a level I'd never seen in practice, and I loved to see cross-school friendships being kindled.
Overall, Dance Fest 2015 was a raging success, and I can't wait to see what the future of the event brings. From what I've heard, it's the highlight of everybody's dancing year. I hope to see you there next year!


Hey, I said I'd write if the Royals made the playoffs; I didn't say I'd write a lot.
I did write about the ALDS and ALCS, over at Grantland, which you can read here and here. I also wrote about the wonderful 30 for 30 documentary on Sung Woo Lee here. And today I wrote for Grantland about the 15 biggest plays in major league history, and gave it as much of a Royals flavor as I could.
And now they're back in the World Series. I have so many thoughts and not nearly enough time to write about them all, but I just want to start by trying to put into words my astonishment that, one year after they got about as close as you can to winning it all – and quite possibly closer than they would ever be again in my lifetime – they're back to take another shot.
Back-to-back American League pennants. That's just jaw-dropping. The Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians, both original AL franchises dating back to 1901, have never won back-to-back pennants. The Royals have gone to the World Series as many times in the last two seasons as the White Sox have in the last 95.
If we go back to 1986, the year the Royals' run of futility began, they have won two pennants in the last 30 years. In a 15-team league, you would expect a team to win an average of exactly two pennants in 30 years. (The actual number is 2.13, as the AL had 14 teams for most of that time, but close enough.) When it comes to pennants, the Royals have wiped out an entire generation of futility in the last 13 months. If they win the World Series, they will have paid off that debt in full as well.
And that's if we back things up to 1986, which puts the Royals in the worst possible light. They've won four AL pennants in their existence, compared to an average expectation of 3.43 pennants for a team that began play in 1969. If they win the World Series they will once again have an above-average amount of hardware in their existence, and once again will be able to stake a claim as one of the most successful expansion teams of all time.
Or try this: over the last 40 seasons (1976 to 2015), the Royals have won four pennants. Do you know how many American League teams have won more in that time? One: the Yankees. ONE.
Or consider this: the Royals have won as many playoff games (18) in the last 13 months as they had in their entire 45-year history before 2014 (18). The difference is that they've only lost 8 postseason games in the last 13 months, compared to 25 before.
And along the way, they've proven themselves almost impossible to kill. They came back from four runs down in the eighth inning of an elimination game in the Wild Card game last year; they did the exact same thing in Game 4 of the ALDS this year. They came back from down 3-0 in the seventh inning against David Price in Game 2 of the ALCS.
They've overcome adversity over and over again. Their eighth-inning uprising in Houston in Game 4 came one inning after Terrance Gore, who can not be captured using traditional weaponry, and representing the tying run in a 3-2 game, was called out on replay after stealing third base because he came off the bag for an infinitesimal amount of time, which as we are learning is almost unavoidable for any basestealer who doesn't either go hands-first or bowl over the fielder at full speed, both of which are unacceptably dangerous as a general basestealing tactic. (Also, the umpires apparently ruled that the back of Luis Valbuena's wrist, the only part of his arm that was in contact with Gore, constituted a tag.) This was followed by back-to-back home runs from Carlos Correa and Colby Rasmus to give Houston a 6-2 lead…and the Royals came back from that the next inning like it was nothing, tying the game and putting the go-ahead run at third base before an out was even recorded.
They overcame an ill-timed rain delay and Ned Yost's frustrating reluctance to deploy his best relievers earlier in games to close out the ALCS, because Wade Davis is a cyborg and cyborgs don't care if their arm has to rest for an hour in the midst of a relief appearance. I've seen better baseball teams, and I've seen more resilient baseball teams, but I'm not sure I've seen a team that was both. They are the team I've been waiting to root for my entire adult life.
And I want to say that no matter what happens in the World Series, they've won back-to-back American League championships, and that is something we can and should celebrate for a long time to come. But let's be honest: if they don't win this series, it will probably hurt a lot more than if they had just succumbed to the Astros two weeks ago yesterday. I said this before the World Series last year: getting that far actually made me more nervous about losing than I was before the ALDS or ALCS, because as much as the 2014 Royals had accomplished already by that point, the difference in the way they would be perceived had they won the World Series versus had they lost dwarfed everything else they had accomplished.
They lost that World Series, as nobly as a team can lose, but still: they lost. They lost Game 7, and with it, their chance at permanent glory. I thought that was the end of it. I thought that it would be a long time before they'd be back in this position. If you had offered me a proposition after Game 7 last year, that the Royals would next play in the World Series 7 years later, I would have taken it. I probably would have taken 10. I know how precious these opportunities can be, and I just didn't want to live another 29 years without another chance at a championship.
It took 12 months. The Royals made it back to the World Series without even surrendering their title as AL champs. And it means that if they win the World Series this year, it will change the way I perceive last year's team as well. The 2014 Royals aren't a self-contained story anymore. They now feel like only the opening chapter of an even greater story, the Preamble to the 2014-2015 Royals, and if this season ends with a championship, the MLB-sanctioned Championship Blu-Ray better not start with Opening Day. Because in my mind, this Championship Season would not have started this April: it would have started when a pop-up settled into Salvador Perez's glove in Chicago last September, when this crazy ride began.
The 2015 Royals aren't just playing for themselves; they're playing for the 2014 Royals too. If they win, they'll forever alter the way they are perceived, and they'll forever alter the way last year's team is perceived too. The 2015 Royals have already proved that, as Eric Hosmer wrote, the 2014 Royals were No Fluke. Now they have a chance to prove that the 2014 Royals were actually champions themselves. They have a chance to turn Unfinished Business into finished business.
First they have to get past the Mets. The Mets weren't as good as the Royals during the season, but then the Giants won fewer games than the Royals last year. They have ridiculous starting pitching, and Jeurys Familia throws a 94 mph splitter now, and Daniel Murphy had a productive meeting with Mr. Applegate earlier this month. The Mets are, on paper, a better team than the Giants were last year.
But then the Royals are a better team than they were last year too. They have an actual offense now, a lineup that doesn't quit, that can start or end rallies from any spot in the lineup. They scored 5 runs or more in six straight games from Game 4 of the ALDS through game 4 of the ALCS. The last time the Royals scored 5 runs or more in six straight games: September, 2011.
But win or lose, I'm going to try to enjoy this series without worrying too much about what the outcome means for the legacy of the 2014-15 Royals. They will always be champions to me. I just hope that at the end, the world sees them the same way.

Swanscombe firm praised by Dartford MP
Jamie Wier
Gareth Johnson MP and Simon Scholes.
Kent based VEKA Recycling has been commended by Dartford MP Gareth Johnson for providing employment opportunities in North Kent.
The Conservative MP toured the company's recycling facility which is based in Swanscombe. It has grown from just 10 employees, to 40 since it was founded seven years ago, providing jobs for local people in north Kent whilst also expanding its services and products.
Mr Johnson was impressed by the company's commitment to local economic growth, saying: "We can be proud in Dartford that we have companies like VEKA Recycling leading the way with these techniques.
"The environmental benefits from recycling are well known, but the procedures used by VEKA Recycling are also providing great employment opportunities locally too."
Last year saw a significant investment by the company in extrusion equipment to recycle old PVC-U windows.
Simon Scholes, business administration manager at VEKA Recycling said: "In welcoming Gareth to our facility, his visit also provided the perfect opportunity to highlight the issues facing our industry, such as changes to legislation and the impact on plastics recycling in particular."

Jahodnice je bývalá vesnice a v současnosti pražská čtvrť na území městské části Praha 14, konkrétně Hostavic a Kyjí. Vznikala jako satelitní zahradní město pro legionáře, a to od roku 1925. Z původních domů se mnoho nezachovalo, ale v centru zůstal Park československých legionářů.

V roce 2017 tu byla otevřena nová mateřská škola, protože díky rezidenční výstavbě tu přibylo mnoho obyvatel.

In the transferred NOESY experiment, a 2D 1H–1H NOESY spectrum is recorded on a sample of low molecular weight compounds in the presence of a substoichiometric amount of a protein. Since small molecules tumble rapidly in solution, the dominant 1H relaxation mechanisms during a NOESY experiment leads to weak positive NOESY peaks. By contrast, the ligands have a long correlation time when bound to the protein. In the case of rapid exchange between free and bound states (namely when the dissociation rate constant koff is greater than the longitudinal relaxation time T1, koff >>1/T1), this translates into very strong negative transferred NOEs in the 2D NOESY spectrum of the free ligand. In a mixture of compounds in the presence of a protein, the compounds that bind to the protein will exhibit strong negative NOEs, whereas non-binders will show very weak positive NOEs.
If two ligands bind simultaneously with similar residence times in adjacent sites on the protein surface, forming a ternary complex. In such a case, strong negative ligand–ligand NOEs can be observed: ILOE.
The mixing time is an important parameter in NOESY-based experiments. Transferred NOESY experiments typically require mixing times of 200–600 ms. For observation of ILOEs, the mixing time needs to be even longer (600–800 ms), whereas INPHARMA peaks have been observed at 70 ms. The optimum ligand-to-protein ratio ranges from 10:1 for small proteins to more than 100:1 for large proteins, with the protein concentration in the micromolar range.

甘肃新十一选五预测 www.yzm24.com When we are very small, most of the teachers have asked us the question of what do you want to be in the future, then we will think about the future career. "I want to be a scientist, or I want to be a policeman" are given by students. Indeed, the career they want to work on will make great contribution to society and they are great people. While some ordinary jobs have been ignored by most people, such as cleaners. They beautify the city by doing the hard work. They look ordinary but actually they are not ordinary. Take my mother for example. She is a housewife, and she takes care of the house chores. It is not easy at all. She is so great for doing the same work everyday without complaining. Every job should be respected.

5.8ms latency using an onboard (nforce4) chipset, and lower than that with a dedicated soundcard like the M-Audio stuff.  Relying on the CPU and system ram to render FFT graphics and such will cause xruns, a good video card will not.

Further more gaming is pretty much on the forefront of graphics as far as linux is concerned.  Gamers under linux means big money to any game company that chooses to support linux as well as hardware manufacturers like Nvidia or ATI.  I know you aren't talking about wanting to play games here but any piece of hardware that is optimized for gaming WILL be optimized for audio as well, I guarantee it.  Nvidia's proprietary drivers work quite well.  I can't really comment on ATI's drivers because I've long been an Nvidia fan.

Well, not everyone thinks so. Using a descent windows manager, where you
can change virtual screen quickly, makes multiple monitors unnecessary.

sence, but in X, you don't need more than one monitor.

When I'm composing music I'd rather not have to touch the keyboard at all.   Most modern video cards support multiple monitors these days... why not make use of it?  Half the desktop space when you don't have to?  Why?  Throw a dozen samples at Ardour (plus it's mixer), envy24control, qjackctl, seq24, plus a handful of DSSI or VSTi plugins and you have a very busy desktop.  Why worry about flipping between virtual desktops when you can see all of it at the same time?

Do you really need RAID for audio work? How many tracks do you use?
Are you sure you couldn't get a way with a single IDE drive?

The original thread asked a  question about rack mounted arrays.  RAID is a natural for this discussion.  If I'm recording several takes of several live feeds I can easily burn up many gigs of storage in a single session.  Also the cost of harddrives is going down rapidly.  Soft RAID now offers an easy and relatively inexpensive way to not only increase storage performance but redundancy at the same time.  I wouldn't consult on a serious studio setup without pushing for redundant storage regardless.  Anything worth recording is worth protecting, don't you think?

Good advice. The ice1712 driver works really well on linux.

I also want to add another important thing to concider, which is noise.

can support 500W, 300W or even 200W is usually enough, but it must be
silent.

I run an  Enermax  500w "Liberty" in my personal studio machine.  It is so quiet that for a long time I would catch myself holding my hand by the back of the case, on occasion,  to make sure it was actually moving air at all!  It uses a 120mm fan at relatively low RPM to do the cooling.  An excellent unit.  Other companies make similar hardware as well.

As for graphics card?  It is exactly as Kjetil has said, without meaning to, I'm sure...  it's *either* "a lot of heat OR a large fan".  Which do you prefer?  Modern cards, at least Nvidia's, are almost dead silent in relation to ambient noise levels in a recording enviroment.  Especially if you plan on running anything that requires OpenGL accelloration or VSTi compatibility, as many of them are quite graphically intensive.  If you run dual monitors as I have suggested then *definately* pass on anything that doesn't have dedicated active cooling!  Anything that relies on passive cooling (without getting into water cooling and other exotics) is just asking for trouble in this sort of enviroment.


Blanck Magazine is a truly special publication. From their stunning images to insightful interviews, what's not to love? This time, their cover subject is Ghanaian actress, filmmaker and activist Yvonne Nelson.
With back-to-back blockbusters, a thriving movie production company, a growing fashion empire and an ever-rising militia of IG followers, YN has earned her place as one of Africa's iconic personalities. It would be great to talk about clothes, shoes, bags, and all the fashionable niceties that come with being in the spotlight, but Yvonne is certainly not here for them, at least not today. The world and its dynamics are changing rapidly; she knows she has a part to play and is more than determined to do her best.
Sitting to a chat with the Blanck E-I-C Franka Chiedu She shares in detail her trials, tribulations and triumphs during the time leading up to and after her #Dumsormuststop campaign as she calls on other celebrities to use their platforms for the greater good of the masses who support them daily.
"Last year, I started a campaign tagged 'Dumsor Must Stop'. One evening, the electricity in my house went off and when this happens in Ghana we refer to it as DUM – SOR, translated as lights off. A term Ghanaians coined to describe the consistent lack of power supply. I couldn't sleep that night; I was sweating and fanning myself – I decided not to use my generator because the cost of fuelling it was unbecoming. Yes! We do make a little money here and there but it can't all be ploughed into fuelling the generator. What about those people who can't afford a generator? Vexed in my spirit, I went on Twitter and tweeted #Dumsormuststop – I woke up the next day and I realised it was trending. Everyone was tweeting using the same hashtag and talking about how they were also frustrated with the situation. At first, I thought it was a joke and it will soon fade but will only realise that it wasn't and it trended for like a week.
The next thing, I got a call from BBC for an interview which I granted and after that interview the issue went global. A lot more people started paying attention to the development. But then, I knew talking about this on social media would not do much to inspire change. The people responsible are not always on social media. I needed to do more. So, I made plans to show up in person – to let people know how serious I was about my concerns.
I called up a few friends and colleagues – a handful of them responded positively at first, but half way through the process, some of them got calls from the powers-that-be and pulled their support. I'm going to reiterate this at this point – the protest was non-partisan! I don't care about politics or political affiliations. I was only speaking my truth based on my personal experience and conviction.
We faced a lot of challenges and road blocks; but despite all, went ahead to set a date to organise a vigil. The government thought we were working against them, which was rather sad. To think that we live in a country where speaking up against injustice is perceived as being antagonistic. They label you an opposition and a rebel.
