Classical Composers (A)
Classical music (and some jazz and folk) from Leonarda
Includes many American composers and works by women
Adolphe-Charles Adam (1803-1856) Ave Maria (voice and organ) Leonarda CD #LE341 information.
Sarah Aderholdt (b.1955), a native of North Carolina, received her Bachelors and Masters degrees in music from the University of North Carolina and her PhD from the University of Minnesota. She also studied at the Swiss Center for Computer Music. A freelance composer for many years in Minnesota, where she was active in the Minnesota Composers Forum, Ms. Aderholdt was recently an artist in residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts outside San Francisco. She now resides near Washington, D.C. Her works have been performed throughout the USA and in Switzerland, Germany, and Poland. Writing primarily chamber music, Aderholdt's work often combines acoustic instruments with amplified voices, nature sounds, and electronically produced sounds. String Quartet. Audio sample mp3 from Leonarda CD #LE336.
Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909) was a child prodigy and gave concerts with his sister, also a prodigy, at an early age. In 1868 the family moved to Madrid, and Albéniz entered the conservatory there. He ran away from home at the age of 13, traveling to Spain, where he gave concerts. He then stowed away on a ship for Puerto Rico and continued on to Cuba and the U.S., supporting himself by playing concerts in private and in public. He returned to Spain in 1875, where he met a benefactor who provided support so that he could study at the conservatories in Brussels and Leipzig. He settled in Paris in 1893. Albéniz wrote in both large and small genres, and some of his piano pieces have been transcribed for orchestra. Tango in D (solo piano), audio sample mp3 from Leonarda CD #LE344. Isaac Albeniz
Lettie Beckon Alston (b.1953), composer/pianist, was one of four finalists in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's Unisys African-American Composers Forum competition in 1993. She received her D.M.A. degree in composition at the University of Michigan, where her teachers included Leslie Bassett, William Bolcom, Eugene Kurzt, and George Wilson. Alston is associate professor at Oakland University (Michigan) and a former faculty member of Eastern Michigan University. She composes in a variety of styles, and her works include The Eleventh Hour for orchestra, Moods for solo piano, and Three Spiritual Settings for men's chorus. Pulsations is unified by a two-note motive symbolizing a heart beat. Pulsations (solo violin) audio sample mp3 from Leonarda CD #LE339.
Anna Amalia, Duchess of Saxe-Weimar (1739-1807), the niece of Frederick the Great and daughter of Charles I, married at 16 and was the mother of two sons. She assumed the duties of regent for her underage son upon the early death of her husband. Apparently she ruled the duchy well and still had time to cultivate the arts and study composition and piano. She founded the German theatre in Weimar and is considered the founder of the Weimar museums. A very talented and cultured person, she surrounded herself with musicians and writers. Between 1788 and 1790 she traveled to Italy to study music and the visual arts. While there she met Paisiello who impressed her, as did the Italian vocal style. Ihr solltet geniessen (from the Singspiel Erwin und Elmire) with voice and harpsichord is on Leonarda CD #LE338. Other selections from the Singspiel Erwin und Elmire (soprano, string quartet, double bass, audio sample mp3) .are on the double CD #LE353.
Anna Amalia, Princess of Prussia( 1723-1787) March for the Regiment "Graf Lottum" from "Four Regimental Marches." Audio sample mp3 (:34) (string quartet, double bass) from CD double CD #LE353.
An anonymous 17th-century piece for Spanish guitar, La Folia is from a private Italian manuscript. The guitar, first mentioned by Juan Bermudo in his Declaracion de instrumentos (1555) as guitarra de cinco ordenes, became a popular instrument at the beginning of the seventeenth century in Italy under the name chitarra spagnola. The first Italian publication for the instrument was by Girolamo Montesardo in Florence in 1606, called a book of "alphabet music." The title refers to a system of notation, assigning a specific letter (i. e., "A") to one specific chord (i. e. "G major") which is strummed in a variety of ways. The music in these books consists of chord sequences of well-known dances such as Folia, Ciaconna and Zarabanda, and songs with chordal accompaniments.
Giovanni Paolo Foscarini was the first Italian composer to publish a book written in a mixed pizzicato/alfabeto style (Rome, ca.1630). The term pizzicato referred to melodic passages or to anything that could not be expressed by the aIfabeto. The pizzicato style was notated in five line Italian tabulature. The anonymous Folia heard here is written in this style alternating melodic passages with strummed chords.
In 1628 Vincenzo Giustiniani wrote in his Discorse sopra la musica de' suoi tempi', "The chitarra alla spagnola is being used in all of Italy although mostly in Naples and unites with the theorbo in an attempt to banish the lute...." As an instrument for basso continuo the Spanish guitar is first mentioned by Augustino Agazzari In 1601.
Christofano Malvezzi, in his edition of the Florentine Intermedi et concerti (Venice, 1591), informs us of an ensemble of women musicians in Florence called the Concerto delle Donne of whom two played the guitar. "All the terzets were sung and danced by Vittoria Archilei, Lucia Caccini [mother of Francesca and Settimia], and Margherita. Vittoria and Lucia each played guitars, one alla spagnola, the other alla Napolettana, and Margherita played a cembalino [small spinet] with such sweet harmonies and gentleness and beauty that most could not watch or hear." As a continuo instrument for the voice, the guitar is mentioned in more than eighty publications in the 17th century and in more than 200 in the 18th century. La Folia (solo Spanish baroque guitar) audio sample mp3 from Leonarda CD #LE350.
Anonymous instrumental works from The Medieval Lady, CD #LE340: Trotto (c.1400) (recorder, nakers). Audio sample mp3; Estampie (13th C.) (symphonia, recorder). Audio sample mp3; Saltarella #1 (c.1400) (recorder, lute). Audio sample mp3; Saltarella #2 (c.1400) (recorder, tambourine aux cordes). Audio sample mp3; La Manfredina, Rota (c.1400) (medieval fiddle, lute). Audio sample mp3.
Anonymous lute duets from The Medieval Lady, CD #LE340: These duets are taken from the Jane Pickering Lute Book (1615-1645), which contains music copied in three different hands. It was customary at the time, when printed music was not so readily available, to write down familiar tunes, one's own tunes, and tunes composed by others. The anonymous lute duets on this recording were copied in the same hand that wrote "Jane Pickeringe owe [sic] this Booke 1616," presumably by Jane Pickering herself. Both the main part of the Jane Pickering Lute Book and the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book were written in the 17th century during the "Golden Age" of Elizabethan and Jacobean lute music. Green Sleeves (also known as Greensleeves), audio sample mp3; La Rosignoll, audio sample mp3.
Anonymous: Trista sort' è la mia sorte (printed in Rome in 1574) is taken from Arie e Canzone in Musica di Cosimo Bottegari, commonly known as Bottegari's "Lute" Book. Bottegari never mentioned "lute" in the manuscript, but rather "viola" which was the Italian translation for the vihuela da mano, a very popular instrument in Spain in the sixteenth century. The "viola" (or vihuela) has the shape of a guitar but its tuning and playing technique are those of the lute. Music for the "viola" was also played on the lute. The "viola" came to Italy through Spanish-ltalian court connections, and its style was popular throughout the sixteenth century. Bottegari was employed as lutenist and singer in the Hoffmusik Kapelle in Munich from 1573 to 1581 under the composer Orlando di Lasso. Bottegari's transcriptions illustrate some of the earliest examples of homophonic lute accompaniments. The strophic song Trista sort' is very similar to the "new" seventeenth-century style, and surely was sung by singer-lutenists well into the century. Trista sort' (soprano, lute, viola da gamba) audio sample mp3, from Leonarda CD #LE350
Jacob (Jacket) Arcadelt (c.1505-1560) Ave Maria (voice and organ) is on Leonarda CD #LE341 information.
Caterina Assandra (ca. 1580-after 1622), born in Pavia, became a nun in the cloister of Sant'Agata in Lomells. She studied counterpoint with one of the leading teachers of the day, Benedetto Rè. Her fame as a composer and performer extended beyond Italy during the first half of the 17th century and some of her works were published during her life. Jubilate Deo (voice and harpsichord). Audio sample: mp3 from Leonarda CD #LE338.
Elizabeth R. Austin (b.1938) received her early musical training at the Peabody Conservatory Preparatory Department in Baltimore. She was an undergraduate music student when Nadia Boulanger visited Goucher College and awarded her a scholarship to study at the Conservatoire Americaine in fontainebleau, France. Austin has taught composition and theory at various music institutions in Hartford, Connecticut. Her association with the Hartt School of Music, where she earned a Master's in Music while on the faculty, included the establishment of a faculty/student exchange with the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik Heidelberg-Mannheim.
While studying for her Ph.D. at the University of Connecticut, she won First Prize in the David Lipscomb Electronic Music Competition. Other awards include a Rockfeller Foundation grant for a month-long residency in Italy, a Connecticut Commission on the Arts grant, selection by GEDOK (Society of Women Artists in German-speaking countries) to represent the Mannheim-Ludwigshafen region in the 70th-year anniversary exhibition, and First Prize in the International Alliance for Women in Music's 1998 Miriam Gideon Competition. Austin's music has been performed in Prague, Rome, Finland, Germany, the Caribbean and America. She divides her time between Germany and the U.S., promoting an exchange of people and ideas through internationally sponsored projects, including composer exchanges. She is President of Connecticut Composers, Inc. and is a church organist. A Birthday Bouquet (voice and piano). Audio samples from A Birthday mp3 and Remember mp3 from Leonarda CD #LE352. Sonnets from the Portuguese (soprano, piano) Audio sample mp3 from Leonarda CD LE #357.

Q: Event horizons without singularities Someone answered this question by saying that black hole entropy conditions and no-hair theorems are asymptotic in nature -- the equations give an ideal solution which is approached quickly but never actually reached from the point of view of an observer outside the event horizon.
Since then I've been wondering whether singularities are ever really created, and if not, why do we worry about naked singularities?
Quick recap: to an external observer, an object falling into a black hole experiences time dilation such that it appears to take an infinite amount of time to cross the event horizon and ends up sitting frozen at the border.
So here's my reasoning: the above should also apply during the formation of the black hole in the first place. The gravitational field approaches infinite density as the constituent matter approaches a central point, but to an outside observer, it takes an infinite amount of time for the singularity to form. In other words, it never happens.
As I understand it, naked singularities are dismissed with hand-waving, "we'll fix it when we go quantum," but I don't see that as necessary. It seems to me that singularities never actually form, although event horizons clearly do.
Does this mean that we can stop worrying? What happens in naked singularity scenarios when there is no singularity yet?

A: Modelling the formation of a realistic black hole can only be done numerically as the process is far too complicated for an analytic solution to exist. However there is a simplified metric for a collapsing non-rotating star called the Oppenheimer-Snyder metric and this captures the basic principles even though it is too simple to be physically realistic.
In the the Oppenheimer-Snyder metric the event horizon appears first at the centre of the star and then grows outwards until it passes the surface, at which point the collapsing star in entirely inside the horizon. The star then completes its collapse into a singularity, and this happens in finite proper time. So if you were on the surface of the star you'd meet your end at the singularity in finite time as recorded by your wrist watch.
It is true that for an external observer the event horizon never forms because it takes an infinite time as measured by the external observer's clock, and so the singularity never forms either. But to use this to claim the singularity never forms is to treat the external observer's time as somehow specially privileged and this goes against the spirit of GR. We should regard all observers are equal, and since the singularity does form in a finite time for the observer falling inwards with the star, it seems reasonable to claim the singularity does form.
It is true that in a universe of a finite age no observer will ever observe an event horizon, or indeed any singularity naked or otherwise, so in this sense we can "stop worrying". What worries physicists is whether the prediction of naked singularities implies some fundamental problem in general relativity. A naked singularity would imply a breakdown of causality and this it seems worrying that a theory which does such a good job of matching experimental observations could predict something that seems at odds with our expectations, even if we could never do an experiment to observe it.
Whether you could form a naked singularity in a finite coordinate time is an interesting question and I don't know the answer. In principle you could start with a rotating black hole, or more precisely an object that is almost but not quite a black hole, and fling mass in to speed up the rotation until it became extremal. However I don't know whether this could be done in a finite time as measured by the external observer.

A: The currently accepted answer is entirely wrong. It says

Black holes don't start from a point in (for example) the centre of a collapsing star and grow outwards. It's actually the opposite - the event horizon forms outside the collapsing star.

The idea seems to be that the matter that initially collapses to make the black hole doesn't pass through the event horizon and so doesn't "freeze" there.
None of that is true. In an isotropic collapse, the event horizon does start from a point in the center and grow outwards (at the speed of light). In a general collapse, it starts at a one-dimensional set of spacelike separated points called the crease set. In any case, all of the collapsing matter crosses the horizon and in principle appears "frozen" near the horizon forever. (In practice it can't be seen because the redshift is far too large.)
The event horizon is the boundary of the black hole. Like any boundary, it has no gaps in it, because a gap would make the division into inside and outside meaningless. Everything that ends up inside the black hole crosses the boundary.

black hole entropy conditions and no-hair theorems are asymptotic in nature [...] Since then I've been wondering whether singularities are ever really created, and if not, why do we worry about naked singularities?

Technically, everything is asymptotic in nature. If you make waves on the surface of a perfectly still lake, the amplitude of the waves dies down over time but the lake will never be precisely still again. The settling-down time of black holes should be viewed in the same way. This has no bearing on whether the bottom of the lake exists, nor on whether the interior of a black hole exists.
Also, naked singularities are by definition singularities that aren't hidden by an event horizon, so the behavior of the horizon is even less relevant. My impression is that "naked" in the question is just an intensifier (especially given the title), so I'll ignore it.

to an outside observer, it takes an infinite amount of time for the singularity to form. In other words, it never happens.

For a classical black hole (with an event horizon), you can pick a time coordinate that respects causality (anything that happens at $t_1$ can only affect what happens at $t_2$ if $t_1<t_2$), and that covers everything that happens outside of the hole into the indefinite future, and that doesn't cover the black hole interior, or doesn't cover a part of the interior that includes the singularity. From the perspective of that definition of time, there is never a singularity. In effect, the spacetime never gets around to collapsing that last little bit.
But all that you've really done, if you do that, is fail to cover a portion of the spacetime with your coordinate system. That doesn't make it go away. Even if you aren't interested in what happens there, other people are, and the problem isn't solved for them.

A: Yes, the no-hair theorems are asymptotic, and yes a frozen star or red hole approach has some accuracies associated with it.
However, the issue of cosmic censorship is not well understood, and is still relevant to your situation.
In particular, if a collapsing system forms a singularity that is not naked, then the event horizon could introduce long range asymptotics that make the inside irrelevant to an external observer.  But what if the singularity forms without an event horizon?  Then the singularity is real.

Since then I've been wondering whether singularities are ever really created, and if not, why do we worry about naked singularities?

A naked singularity is exactly the singularity you want to worry about, because it would sit on your past light cone and causally affect you, even though the equations don't make clear predictions about what happens.  So you get a full loss of determinism and causality if you have a naked singularities.
The clothed singularities, as you reference, might not be anything we need to worry at all until we get to a quantum theory or consider other ways to get out of a classical event horizon.

What happens in naked singularity scenarios when there is no singularity yet?

A naked singularity is a singularity that is not inside an event horizon.  So there is no time dilation to save you from seeing it form.  And so if it is naked, then there is no "not yet", it happened, and you can see things coming from the singularity all the way to your eyeball (or the theory itself is just wrong, which either way is pretty bad for the theory).

A: no proof of a singularity can exist as any thing that enters an event horizon can not return as there accessible future only exists in the black hole other wise they have to travel faster than the speed of light which according to Einstein is always the same.

A: The horizons also cannot appear, not only singularities.

Our primary result, that no event horizon forms in gravitational
collapse as seen by an asymptotic observer is suggestive of the
possibility of using the number of local event horizons to classify
and divide Hilbert space into superselection sectors, labeled by the
number of local event horizons. Our result suggests that no operator
could increase the number of event horizons, but the possibility
of reducing the number of pre-existing primordial event horizons is
not so clear and would require that Hawking radiation not cause any
primordial black hole event horizons to evaporate completely.

The Beehive State's Professional Sports Future
(Courtesy Flickr)
By Marshall Foster, News Writer
October is the only month in the year when all five of the major sports leagues are in season. As the MLB and MLS complete their playoffs, the NHL and NBA kick off their seasons — not forgetting, of course, the NFL's monopoly of Sunday. How does Utah fit into this sports-filled month, and could Utah be considered a sports hub?
History of Professional Sports in Utah
Salt Lake City's two most well-known sports franchises are the Utah Jazz in the NBA and Real Salt Lake in MLS. There a few minor league teams in the valley as well.
The Jazz are arguably the more popular and mainstream sports team in Salt Lake City over Real Salt Lake. This is because the NBA is generally more popular than the MLS. According to HowMuch.net, the NBA brought in a revenue of $4.8 billion in 2016 compared to the $461 million of the MLS.
The Jazz has a long and storied history in the NBA. First established as an expansion team in 1974, the New Orleans Jazz (as they were known at the time) moved to Salt Lake City in 1979 due to a rough five years in New Orleans. The Jazz eventually came under new ownership when Larry H. Miller bought the team in 1986 for $24 million.
The New Orleans Jazz were named after New Orleans's very prominent jazz culture, and when the team moved to Salt Lake City, despite lacking a jazz culture, the team decided to keep the name. The Jazz rose to prominence in the late '90s under the leadership of coach Jerry Sloan and legendary players Karl Malone and John Stockton. When the Jazz first moved to Salt Lake City, they played in the Salt Palace from 1979 to 1991 before moving into their current home, the Vivint Smart Home Arena (then known as the Delta Center), in 1991.
Real Salt Lake is a more recent addition to the Salt Lake Valley than the Jazz. Real started as an expansion team in 2005 along with the now-defunct team, Chivas USA. The name "Real" in soccer terms may sound familiar, probably because of the Spanish (and global) soccer power Real Madrid. This similarity in name is not a coincidence, but instead the product of a very unique partnership between Real Salt Lake and Real Madrid.
According to mlssoccer.com, Real's owner at the time, Dave Checketts, always loved Real Madrid and asked permission to use the "Real" name from the Spanish club because "real" means "royal" in Spanish. In 2006, Checketts announced in a press conference in 2006 that Real Salt Lake was "pursuing a permanent sister-team relationship with Real Madrid."
Early in RSL's tenure in Salt Lake City, the team played at Rice-Eccles Stadium from 2005-2008. In 2013, Checketts sold his team shares to Dell Loy Hansen.
Even though Salt Lake is in RSL's name, they are not based out of Salt Lake City. RSL plays every home game in Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah, and even has team offices in Sandy. RSL won the MLS cup in 2009, beating the LA Galaxy 1-1 in a 5-4 penalty kick shootout. Recently, RSL was just knocked out of the 2019 MLS Cup by the Seattle Sounders, losing 2-0.
The Jazz and Real aren't the only professional sports teams in Utah. The Utah Royals FC, which Real owner Hansen also owns, are part of the National Women's Soccer League. The Royals play out of Rio Tinto Stadium as well, and are led by Olympic gold medalists and FIFA Women's World Cup champions Becky Sauerbrunn and Kelley O'Hara, along with two-time Olympic gold Nicole Barnhart and two-time FIFA Women's World Cup champion Christen Press.
Professional rugby, a growing sport in the U.S., also has a team in Utah. The Utah Warriors are one of the original teams in Major League Rugby, founded in 2017.
There are quite a few minor league teams in Utah as well, the most prominent probably being the Salt Lake Bees. The Salt Lake Bees are SLC's AAA minor league baseball team, affiliated with the Los Angeles Angels. The Bees are not the only minor league baseball team in Utah. There are also the Orem Owlz (also affiliated with the Angels) and the Ogden Raptors (affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers).
The Utah Grizzlies are a minor league hockey team based out of West Valley City, currently affiliated with the Colorado Avalanche.
While Utah no longer has a men's pro football team, the Utah Blitz is Utah's team within the Women's Football Alliance.
Unfortunately, Utah also has a history of losing sports teams, like the Salt Lake Stallions and Utah Starzz. The Stallions were Salt Lake's team in the short-lived Alliance of American Football. The Stallions played out of Rice-Eccles stadium during the AAF's short season and when the AAF folded mid-way through their first season the Stallions finished with a record of 3-5 and at the bottom of the AAF's Western Conference standings.
The Utah Starzz did not meet the same fate as the Stallions, whose league folded due to poor financial planning by league leadership, leaving their players stranded. The Starzz were one of the original teams in the WNBA. Also owned by Jazz owner, Larry H. Miller, the Starzz only lasted five seasons (1997-2002) before being sold to the San Antonio Spurs, who turned the Utah Starzz into the San Antonio Silver Stars.
This move from Utah to San Antonio did not surprise University of Utah professor Joshua LaReaux, who teaches Perspectives on Sports and American Society. He said in an email to The Daily Utah Chronicle, "This makes sense considering most collegiate women's sports in Utah are largely ignored. The only exception is the Utah gymnastics program."
During their time in Utah, the Starzz made the playoffs twice and their conference finals once, losing to Los Angeles. As the Silver Stars, the Starzz made the playoffs six times from 2007 to 2012, won one conference championship and appeared in one WNBA finals, losing to Detroit 3-0. The Silver Stars moved to Las Vegas in 2018 to become the Las Vegas Aces.
Is Utah a Sports Hub?
A sports hub is a city with a strong sports culture, one with multiple, top-tier professional sports teams. New York, Chicago, Dallas, Minneapolis and Denver are all examples of sports hubs, all cities with a team in each of the five major professional sports leagues. With only two of the five major sports leagues, SLC doesn't currently fit the criteria to be a sports hub. But with an estimated metropolitan population of 1.14 million and an estimated SLC-Provo-Orem population of 2.4 million, could Utah become a sports hub?
The Future of Utah Sports
In an email to The Chronicle, LaReaux detailed what it would take for a new pro sports franchise to move to Salt Lake City. "Professional sports are a business. The owners will go where they can make the most money with the smallest investment possible."
One of the big determining factors leagues look for in determining where a new team should go to is the city's media market, which is determined by the number of households with televisions. The Nielsen DMA Ranking ranks the top 210 cities with the largest media markets in the country, and Salt Lake City's DMA rank is 30.
"You have to understand that major sports have cartel-like organization," LaReaux said. "The teams are cooperating more than they are competing. The competition stuff is what they sell to the fans, but the owners collectively bargain as a whole and share the revenue. They are all working together to generate a product that networks want to buy."
Looking back at the sports hubs mentioned previously (New York, Chicago, Dallas, Minneapolis and Denver) all have DMA rankings in the top 20 in the country — but LaReaux is hopeful that SLC will reach sports hub status. "Things are changing, and the population is booming along the Wasatch Front. I wouldn't be shocked to see another major sports franchise in the Salt Lake area in the next five to 10 years."
The Jazz ranked No. 14 in the NBA in home game attendance, averaging 18,306 fans at each of their 41 home games. Real Salt Lake has very similar numbers, ranking No. 14 in the MLS in home game attendance and averaging 18,121 fans at each of their 17 home games. The question remains: is this enough for the NHL, MLB and NFL to invest in Salt Lake City?
A new hockey team would seem like the most promising of the three options. With the NHL currently in expansion, adding the Las Vegas Knights in 2017 and the upcoming addition of a new NHL team in Seattle in 2020, the NHL could be Salt Lake City's best bet. Yet, there are already a few cities ahead of Salt Lake City that have planned for future expansion, such as Houston and Quebec City.
With the addition of Seattle, the NHL will reach the magical number of 32 teams, a number that no other major league has surpassed. If an NHL team came to Salt Lake City, it seems like they would already have a ready-made home for them in the Vivint Smart Home Arena.
"Teams don't like sharing arenas or stadiums. It happens, but the owners like to have full control," LaReaux said. As for SLC's weather, "I don't think the weather is a major factor. Las Vegas was the most recent NHL expansion. Do you think San Jose or Las Vegas have hockey cultures? These cities were simply willing to give the owners what they want."
The NHL does seem to see some potential in Salt Lake City for the future, as seen by the NHL scheduling preseason games between the Los Angeles Kings and the Vancouver Canucks in 2018 and 2019 in what was dubbed the "Salt Lake Shootout." Until Salt Lake City is willing to give an owner what they want, however, the Colorado Avalanche and Las Vegas Golden Knights will have to serve as Salt Lake's NHL teams because of the NHL's blackout restrictions.
"I think Salt Lake has a really good baseball culture," said Kraig Williams, the communication manager for the Salt Lake Bees. "I think we have a better baseball culture than people realize. [The fans] really support us and I think fans would love a major league team here."
While Williams says that fans in Salt Lake City would support a team, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred disagrees. In an interview with First Things First, Manfred listed out cities the MLB is looking into for future expansion, and Salt Lake did not make that list. "Portland, Las Vegas, Nashville in the United States, certainly Montreal, maybe Vancouver, in Canada," Manfred said in his interview. Out of those three U.S. cities listed, only Portland and Nashville have higher DMA rankings than Salt Lake City. The MLB is the only league out of the NHL, NFL and MLB to have all of their United States teams within the top 40 media markets.
"If Salt Lake City got a major league team, the Bees would be forced to move to another market. … [Salt Lake City] would lose the Triple-A team and we would be replaced with the major league team," Williams said. For now, Salt Lake baseball fans will only have the Bees to cheer for in terms of a local baseball team.
The NFL brought in $13 billion in revenue in 2016 — more than the MLB, Premier League, NBA and NHL. Within the top 17 media markets in the Nielsen DMA rankings, the NFL has 20 teams.
The NFL does not seem to be interested in expansion at the moment, and with the magical number of 32 teams already, they seem to be more interested in playing games in Europe and Mexico than pushing past their 32 nationwide teams. The NFL has not expanded in 17 years, and it would be safe to say, like with the MLB and the NHL, Salt Lake City is not very high up on the NFL's list of potential cities for a team, but that doesn't mean Salt Lake City is not on the NFL's radar.
In the most recent Madden football game, Madden described Salt Lake City as a "small market" with "loyal fans," giving a glimpse of how the NFL views SLC.
In order for the NFL to move to Salt Lake, they might need to take into account the culture that comes with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and how members of the LDS church reserve Sunday for religious matters.
"I think that may have been true 10 or 15 years ago but not today. The Wasatch Front is vastly different from the rest of the state. I'm not sure what the exact numbers are, but I think Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints members are now in the minority in Salt Lake City. In addition to that shift, I would anticipate most people who are technically members of the church are not active," LaReaux said.
It seems that the NFL is the least likely league to add a team to Salt Lake's sports culture — for now.

Big solar boost for agency's green credentials
by News team · December 5, 2022
A forward-thinking creative marketing agency has dramatically reduced its environmental impact by investing in an ambitious solar scheme as its latest sustainability project.
Telford-based Kensa Creative has ploughed some of the profits from a record trading year into improving its carbon footprint as part of its wider aim to be carbon neutral by 2025.
The solar PV installation on the roof of Kensa's Telford base, The Ideas Factory
Managing Director Scott Clarke said: "We've always prided ourselves on our sustainable ethos, so when we decided to build our own offices here in Telford it was always our aim to invest in solar panels. Being able to create our own energy absolutely reduces our reliance on fossil fuels to power the building."
"We designed a solar scheme, but then discovered we could also receive grant support through the Business Energy Efficiency Programme (BEEP) to help with the costs. So we took the opportunity to be even more ambitious and decided to double the size of the system."
BEEP is a grant support programme funded by the European Regional Development Programme which helps businesses look at how they can reduce energy costs, advises on renewable projects and offers grants to develop green schemes.
Scott added: "Electricity powers everything we do so the aim is to be able to power our operations from 100 per cent renewable energy, which is not only great for the planet but will also prove to be a sensible investment in these times of soaring energy costs."
Kensa has also installed charging points for electric vehicles at its Hortonwood West base, and with all company vehicles being either hybrid or fully electric this will make a big difference to employee's back pockets. Scott added: "We have also just launched an EV car scheme via salary sacrifice, giving everyone on the team an opportunity to get an electric vehicle at an affordable price, and charge it up at work using solar power."
The solar system cost £28,360 and is expected to pay for itself in 11 years through reduced energy bills. It should produce 20.58MWh per year, and from March to October is expected to generate a surplus which can be pushed back into the National Grid.
The installation involves 72 photovoltaic modules and the carbon saving will be equivalent to planting 220 new trees each year.
After struggling to find suitable office space, Kensa designed and built its own headquarters in 2018, allowing for more flexibility and autonomy for introducing sustainable initiatives like the solar panels.
The solar energy scheme and electric vehicles are part of Kensa's wider plan to make operations as environmentally sustainable as possible. Amongst other sustainable initiatives is the cycle to work scheme, use of FSC accredited print suppliers and a digital-first, paper free culture at Kensa's offices.

We love our pets, and they fill our home with so much love – but they can also fill it with fur, odors and messes. It's inevitable: Accidents happen and even the best trained pet won't guarantee a mess-free life. Whether you're faced with day-to-day cleanup or greeted with a nasty surprise, here are some expert tips for maintaining the livability and appearance of your home.
When it comes to cleaning up after animals, grab this common product in the kitchen – it's not just for cooking!
White vinegar helps neutralize the smell of urine. When there's an accident on the carpet, try to clean it up quickly by applying pressure with paper towels or a cotton cloth to prevent the urine from seeping deeply. Then, using equal parts white vinegar and water, pour the solution onto the stain and blot it using a paper towel, pressing firmly. Additionally, you can sprinkle the vinegar-treated area with baking soda, let it sit until dry and then vacuum.
Diane Ellis, owner of Affordable Cleaning in Anchorage, says that prevention and proper training are the most important steps when dealing with urine odors. When remodeling a home with urine that has seeped into the carpet, Diane says that they will usually have to rip out all the carpet and padding and seal the floor, which ends up being expensive.
"It is hard to remove urine odors from carpet completely. Cleaning chemicals certainly help but prevention is key. If the owner lets their cat or dog continually do it, the carpet will never be clean and there will always be lingering odors. Catch it early," Diane advises.
In the event you catch that accident later rather than sooner, professional cleaning may be your best option. If you want to try your hand at a set-in stain, the Humane Society of the United States suggests renting an extractor or wet vac from your local hardware store or grocery store to remove all traces of heavy stains in carpeting. However, avoid using steam cleaners to clean urine odors from carpet or upholstery. The heat will permanently set the stain and the odor by bonding the protein into any man-made fibers.
Cleaning up a urine stain sounds easy enough, but it's more complicated when you can smell the odor but can't find the stain. For those whose pets are prone to hiding their urine spots, a black light can be used to find the offending area. With the lights turned off, urine literally glows when exposed to the black light. Even long after urine has dried, its scent-creating chemicals will still be visible, making the stains easy to find. Once you identify those soiled areas, lightly outline the areas with chalk or masking tape so that you will be able to find the entire area once the lights are on.
Cat owners can prevent urination problems by getting their furry friend fixed. Cats use urine marking to tell other cats that this home is their territory. While this is helpful to other cats, it's a nightmare to the poor homeowner. Urine marking can be done by any kind of cat, but it is most common in unneutered males. Once spayed or neutered, this behavior is likely to decrease or cease all together.
Another reason for urine marking is an unexpected change in the cat's life. Whether a big change like moving homes or a small change like a new box showing up in the living room, these events can stress cats, lead them to use urine marking to deal with the situation. If your cat is prone to urine marking, try to avoid changes in routine whenever possible.
Regular upkeep on litter boxes and keeping them as tidy as possible encourages cats to use it, instead of the carpet! Situate the litter box on a non-carpet surface, like in a utility room for instance, away from any baseboards.
Urine isn't the only accident pets can make. Even worse is dreaded vomit. There is no quicker way to ruin your carpet than letting vomit soak in. When it happens, act fast and clean up whatever vomit you can. Afterwards, toss an absorbent material, like baking soda for one, on the area. Let it set for about 15 minutes before vacuuming up the left over baking soda.
Sometimes vomit stains require a little more elbow grease, however. If the stain persists, try using a mixture that cleaning professionals swear by. First, mix together one tablespoon of white vinegar and one tablespoon of dishwashing soap with two cups of warm water. Grab a washcloth or sponge and pat the mixture onto the stain. After letting it set, clean off the mixture by blotting the stain with cold water. Your carpet will be as good as new.
A fuzzy and cuddly pet is wonderful until it comes to cleaning that mountain of shedding hairs. Reduce hair by regularly brushing cats and dogs with the right brush for their hair type. Look for brushes designed to remove your pet's undercoat. Experts say using such tools can reduce shedding up to 90 percent.
The best defense against hairs is regular vacuuming, especially during the time when your pet is shedding more. Not only does this keep your floors looking fresh, it also helps protect your family. Hair that collects in corners and beneath carpet fibers is notorious for harboring dust and allergens. For hairs that have embedded into fabric, upholstery or other surfaces, try using this simple and easy tool: a damp rubber glove. Put on the rubber glove, get it wet by lightly splashing your hands under a faucet, then rub your hand along a surface. Those stray pet hairs should stick to the glove like a charm. A lightly damped sponge works well too.
If walls could talk! An often overlooked pet cleaning issue is dirt or scratches on the walls. If the dog hasn't had a bath lately, they can be rubbing all kinds of dirt into the walls.
"Pets like to rub up against the wall, so take time to keep the walls clean where they walk. Just scrubbing these walls with soap and water does the trick," Connie advises.
Another helpful tip: Use a magic eraser to keep the white trim clean, she says. Made of melamine foam pads, these magic erasers are useful cleaning tools when deep cleaning around the home. Find them at any supermarket. For those occasional scratches on wood, a touch-up pen from the hardware store should do the trick.
According to the Humane Society, cat scratching behavior can be reduced by covering areas they shouldn't scratch with unappealing textures, like aluminum foil or sticky tape. Scratching posts also help reduce unsavory scratching behavior, as it gives them designated areas to release those urges.
Most pet owners agree: Keeping a home looking clean and smelling fresh can be a lot of work, but the rewards outweigh the challenges. Pets may not always be tidy, but they are truly a part of the family! Being proactive and staying on top of the messes is key to a clean and healthy home, but don't hesitate to call on the pros if you suspect severe damage.

Sharknose Collection
The first was the E24, being derived from the first generation 7 Series, the BMW E23. The E24 was launched in 1976 to replace the 3.0CS & 3.0CSi (E9). In 2003, 14 years after production ceased, BMW released the all new E63/E64 which was available as a coupé and convertible, based on the chassis of the E60 5 Series saloon. Models were the 645Ci (later replaced with the 650i) and the 630i, while the highest performance model is the BMW M6. The third generation F12 and F13 6 Series was released in 2011 for the 2012 model year, sharing a platform and some engines with the 7 Series (F01) and 5 Series (F10), and introducing a four-door coupé (fastback saloon) style.
"The most important thing is the cars are fun.
If your car isn't, you've obviously got the wrong car."

The BMW 8 Series is sometimes regarded as the spiritual successor to the E24 6 Series, being also available as a "CSi"; however, it had a substantially higher price point and performance than the preceding 6 Series.
E24:
The original 6 Series was launched in August 1976 as the successor to the E9 coupés, namely the 2800CS, 3.0CS and 3.0CSi. The new E24 chassis was safer than that of the E9, meeting new crash and rollover standards. This car had a 3210cc engine with 197bhp. In 1978 BMW debuted the 635CSi, with a 3453cc SOHC, 218bhp engine and a top speed of 138mph. The 635CSi could reach 62mph in 7.4 seconds. The early cars were offered with a 5-speed 'dog-leg' Getrag gearbox. A four-speed automatic transmission became a more common option. The Series underwent a significant change with the mid-1982 model; this included a 'normal' pattern 5-speed manual, or the more usual four-speed auto.
In 1984 BMW took the M88/3, a modified version of the M88/1 from the BMW M1 and put it in the E24 chassis, creating the M635CSi, or M6. This had a DOHC 24-valve 3453cc, 286bhp engine, with a top speed of 158 mph. The M6 also had improved suspension, brakes, and a close-ratio manual transmission.
E63/64:
The second-generation 6 Series (E63) was produced from 2003-2010, filling the hole in the line-up left since the end of the 8 Series' production. It is based on the underpinnings of the E60 5 Series. Compared to the 5 Series saloon/touring, the 6 Series coupé /cabriolet has more emphasis on performance as opposed to practicality and it is priced close to the flagship 7 Series saloon.
F12/13/06:
The third generation BMW F12 (Convertible) and F13 (Coupé) was released as a 2012 model at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show and New York Auto Show. The engine range consists of turbocharged petrol and diesel engines. The folding top is still cloth (compared to the E93 3 Series convertible which is equipped with a metal roof). The 640i and the 650i are available with all-wheel drive.
The F06 6 Series Gran Coupe was unveiled in 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It is a four-door saloon to provide a rival to the Audi A7 and Mercedes-Benz CLS. Initially shown as the Gran Coupe Concept in 2010, which was based on the 2007 CS Concept, the Gran Coupe is available in 640i, 640d and 650i models.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is set to play against the Philadelphia Eagles at the Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis, Minnesota today. No matter which team you're rooting for (that is, if you have an opinion that goes beyond, "Go sports!"), you have to admit that Brady's family with supermodel Gisele Bündchen is insanely cute, and you might want to catch a glimpse of them in the stands. So is Gisele Bündchen at the Super Bowl this year?
Yes! Of course. Scroll down for more information on Bündchen's Super Bowl attendance over the years, but let's just put it this way: she's a super supportive wife and this game is a huge deal for her family. Of course she's in Minneapolis to cheer on her husband Brady from the sidelines.
Two hours before the game's official start, she posted a photo with her crew in black t-shirts bedazzled with the number 12 in red, white, and blue rhinestones — that's Brady's number and the Patriots' colors. You can see Bündchen in the top right corner of the photo and Brady's mom, Galynn Brady, third from the right in the top row of supporters. Vivian Brady, Bündchen and Brady's daughter, is in the center of the bottom row. What a sweet, proud family.
While the Patriots obviously had a very strong season, their spot at the Super Bowl wasn't officially confirmed until Sunday, Jan. 21, when the team defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars in a triumphant 24-20 win. Bündchen celebrated her husband's big win on Instagram by posting an adorable photo of her wearing a "TEAM BRADY" beanie and kissing him on the cheek. "What a game!!!" she captioned the pic. "Congratulations my love! So happy for you and your teammates! #gopats"
The model and the athlete married on February 26, 2009 in Santa Monica, California. Together, they have two children — a son named Benjamin born in 2009 and a daughter named Vivian born in 2012. Brady also has a son named Jack born in 2007 from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
This is Brady's fifth Super Bowl since he and Bündchen met. Prior to this year, he also played for the Patriots in 2007, 2012, 2014, and 2017.
Tom Brady, definitely not too shabby. He's pretty cute. All-American, that's a good way to describe him. He's cute, but if he has a girlfriend, he's gay to me. There are too many men in the world to go after a man who has a woman. Life is too short.
Five years later, Brady and Bündchen were a married couple. Not only did Bündchen attend the game, but she sent an email to friends and family requesting positive energy and prayers for his team's victory (it was obtained and leaked by Page Six).
Despite all the good vibes, the Patriots lost to the Giants again, 21-17. After the game, Bündchen voiced her frustrations about her husband's teammates, and the moment was unfortunately caught on camera. She was overheard saying, "You've to catch the ball when you're supposed to catch the ball. My husband cannot f*cking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times."
Two years later, the Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks, 28-24. After the big win, Bündchen rushed onto the field with their son Benjamin to congratulate Brady. Cute!
Last year, the Patriots came from behind to beat the Atlanta Falcons, 34-28. Bündchen attended proudly and embraced Brady with their daughter Vivian after the Patriots' big win. Go team!
Given the Brady-Bündchen family's tight bond, it's no surprise that she continues to show her support for her husband by attending the Super Bowl whenever he plays. And the love goes both ways: after her final runway show at Saõ Paulo Fashion Week in April 2015, Brady took to Facebook to share an emotional note.
Congratulations Love of my Life. You inspire me every day to be a better person. I am so proud of you and everything you have accomplished on the runway. I have never met someone with more of a will to succeed and determination to overcome any obstacle in the way. You never cease to amaze me. Nobody loves life more than you and your beauty runs much deeper than what the eye can see. I can't wait to see what's next. I love you. #GOAT #thebestisyettocome.


It was a night to remember, and we're not just talking about the musical performances. Celebrities at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards turned out in bold, attention-grabbing footwear looks.
Male musicians also turned heads with their sartorial savvy. Best new artist Macklemore, of Ryan Lewis and Macklemore, wore gold-studded Giuseppe Zanotti smoking slippers featuring gold shark-tooth charms. The suave style was a fitting complement to the artist's blue velvet suit.
Jay Z, whose "Holy Grail" featuring Justin Timberlake won for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, looked cool and classic in a black-and-white ensemble complete with a bow tie and Tom Ford laceups. He lit up the stage during a performance with Beyonce, who sported Stuart Weitzman heels, Saint Laurent crystal tights and a skimpy Nichole de Carle bodysuit.
Other ogle-worthy shoes included Taylor Swift's Jimmy Choo platform sandals; Daft Punk's glittery Saint Laurent boots, which both members of the duo sported while receiving the Album of the Year award, along with four other honors; and Rihanna's strappy, metallic Christian Louboutin stilettos, which she wore with a Vautheir Couture gown at Clive Davis' Pre-Grammys Gala. She took the award for Best Urban Contemporary album at the main event, where she walked the red carpet in Manolo Blahnik.


Trello is an online project management tool which lets users drag, drop, colour-code, and manipulate to-do list items.
Trello uses the concept of boards, lists, and cards instead of the more traditional structure seen in project management of projects, tasks, and milestones. Projects are arranged into "boards," under which all sorts of lists can be added to break down that bigger project into sub-projects. Under each list, "Cards" are added, which are items in a list. Due dates, comments, a checklist, notes, attachments, and colour-coded labels can be added to each card. Files from the computer, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive can also be added to the cards. Cards can be dragged and dropped between lists and boards to show project progress. The option of adding notifications ensures important stuff is completed.
Trello adapts to individual project, team, and workflow. It updates in real-time, so everyone gets it instantly. Once people are invited to join boards, the user can start assigning cards to various individuals or groups. Anyone added to a card will essentially be following all the activity that happens within it. Trello's visual display lets project managers see the progress of the project.
Trello offers four levels of service: a free account, and three versions of paid accounts. The free account lets you manage as many boards as you want and attach cards up to 10MB in size. The free account lets users invite as many collaborators as desired, too.
Trello stays perfectly in sync across all devices.
Click the "+" button at the top of the Trello homepage and add a new board.
Add a list to your board. Name your list something that will represent the tasks that you are going to add to it, perhaps "Ideas" or "To Do." You can add as many lists to your board as you like.
• Add Board Members to cards to assign them tasks or keep them in the loop.

NBA regular season resumes Thursday night
Published by: Megan
The NBA regular season officially resumes this Thursday night with a doubleheader. It begins with the Utah Jazz vs. the New Orleans Pelicans (6:30pm ET), followed by the Lakers and Clippers in the battle of Los Angeles (9pm ET). Both games are being broadcast on TNT.
Note all NBA games will be played from the "bubble' in Orlando which has been a pretty air-tight plan in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. That means they should be able to avoid the problems that are plaguing Major League Baseball right now.
New Orleans is a 2-point favorite over Utah at Winning Poker Network sportsbooks. The total is 220 points. There is a theory that there will be higher scoring than usual in Orlando with less defense being played. Note that Pelicans forward Zion Williamson is expected to rejoin the team on Wednesday and could be available to play.
The Lakers are a 4.5-point favorite in their game against the Clippers with a total of 216 points. One player who will not be there is Clippers' guard Lou Williams. He's in quarantine after getting an excused absence to leave the bubble, but then being photographed at a strip club. That was a bad look even though Williams claimed he was only there to eat and not watch any of the "entertainment".
Even coach Doc Rivers didn't seem to be buying that explanation (source ESPN).
"I can't share much with his journey. I wasn't on that journey with him. But he's back here, I can tell you that much. You know, obviously those pictures got out, and that's something that we obviously didn't enjoy seeing or like."
The Lakers (+219) are the current favorite to win the NBA title at WPN sportsbooks. The Milwaukee Bucks (+300) are in second and the Clippers are third (+350).

RICARDO BALDINO, PRESIDENT of the Brazilian labor union, STICC, spoke before the Construction Division conference March 5 about a new initiative to put union welders from his country to work in Alberta, alongside members of Boilermakers Local 146 (Edmonton). Local 146 needs additional workers to help man the immense oil sands projects in the province, along with other construction and maintenance jobs.
Qualified welders are in short supply because of the ramp-up in heavy industrial projects coupled with the retirement of baby boom workers, both in Canada and the United States.
Speaking in Portuguese (Brazil's national language) through an interpreter, Baldino said, "Six thousand Brazilian welders have already applied. This is a first step toward an international labor movement where labor can truly participate in [the benefits of] a global economy." Baldino thanked the Boilermakers union and the leadership of Local 146 for spearheading the effort to bring in skilled workers from Brazil.
IP Newton Jones told the conference, "The International is very supportive of this effort." He added that Local 146 had also reached out to Great Britain, which faces its own skilled labor shortage.
Western Canada IVP Joe Maloney stressed the necessity of such arrangements, stating, "Right now there's about $90-$100 billion in construction activity going on in heavy industrial areas of Alberta. There are about 4,000 Boilermakers in the local right now, and they're maxed out work-wise." Maloney praised Warren Fraleigh and ABM Morgan Fedak for developing and pursuing the concept. "Instead of losing further market share to nonunion competitors, they came up with this idea to reach out to the international community, and they went right to the unions. So it's union to union. These guys (Fraleigh and Fedak) have done a tremendous job putting this thing together."
Fraleigh told Baldino, "We look forward to having your members come to Alberta and share in our prosperity. These are times right now — with the manpower supply being what it is — that we have to think outside the box. If we are successful, and we believe we will be, it could possibly form the basis of a best practice for many of the unions in North America, and indeed worldwide."

Billy Budd Character Analysis
Billy is the protagonist of the novella and a perfect example of the type of person the narrator calls the Handsome Sailor. His beautiful appearance reflects his upstanding character and because of this he earns the admiration of almost all of those he serves with aboard both the Rights-of-Man and the Indomitable. Billy is an innocent, child-like young man, whom the narrator often compares to Adam before the fall of man. His innocent nature ends up being a liability aboard the Indomitable, though, as he is unable to understand or even notice the wickedness of Claggart, who irrationally hates Billy. His death is represented as a tragic martyrdom by the narrator, and although the only official record of his death condemns him as a criminal, he is remembered more sympathetically in the sailors' ballad with which Melville's story ends, "Billy in the Darbies."

Billy in many respects was little more than a sort of upright barbarian, much such perhaps as Adam presumably might have been ere the urbane Serpent wriggled himself into his company.

But the incident confirmed to him certain telltale reports purveyed to his ear by "Squeak," one of his more cunning corporals... the corporal, having naturally enough concluded that his master could have no love for the sailor, made it his business, faithful understrapper that he was, to foment the ill blood by perverting to his chief certain innocent frolics of the good-natured foretopman, besides inventing for his mouth sundry contumelious epithets he claimed to have overheard him let fall.

The same, your honor; but, for all his youth and good looks, a deep one. Not for nothing does he insinuate himself into the good will of his shipmates, since at the least all hands will at a pinch say a good word for him at all hazards. ...It is even masked by that sort of good-humored air that at heart he resents his impressment. You have but noted his fair cheek. A man trap may be under his ruddy-tipped daisies.
Struck dead by an angel of God! Yet the angel must hang!
Related Characters: Captain Vere (speaker), Billy Budd, John Claggart
But in natural justice is nothing but the prisoner's overt act to be considered? How can we adjudge to summary and shameful death a fellow creature innocent before God, and whom we feel to be so?
Related Characters: Captain Vere (speaker), Billy Budd
Not that like children Billy was incapable of conceiving what death really is. No; but he was wholly without irrational fear of it, a fear more prevalent in highly civilized communities than those so-called barbarous ones which in all respects stand nearer to unadulterated Nature.
Billy stood facing aft. At the penultimate moment, his words, his only ones, words wholly unobstructed in the utterance, were these—"God bless Captain Vere!"
