Slade's Dave Hill: "The important thing about us is the longevity"
Wed 13 December, 2017
At the time of year when Slade are ubiquitous, and ahead of their performance at Hangar 34, Shaun Ponsonby talks to the band's legendary super yob Dave Hill about the influence and the history of this uniquely working class band.
Slade's Merry Xmas Everybody is practically a Christmas carol. You hear it every year around this time. It's totally ubiquitous.
"People say Christmas is not Christmas without this band," guitarist Dave Hill tells me. "Some people think 'The Christmas record is so successful that sometimes you forget about Cum On Feel The Noize and all that'. Well, you don't forget about that."
Indeed, in an old job of mine I informed some colleagues of the level of Slade's success. In what must be one of the most unprecedented runs in chart history, the band achieved a whopping six number one singles in under two years. Despite initially receiving blank looks, once I named the songs, looks of recognition appeared on their faces. They suddenly realised how much of Slade's back catalogue they knew, becoming part of the fabric of British musical culture. In the 70s alone, they sold 50 million records.
Slade have their roots in The Vendors, the previous band of founding members Hill and drummer Don Powell. Inspired by American blues musicians, the band changed both direction and name, re-christening themselves The 'N Betweens, pre-dating Slade's trademark use of poor spelling on song titles.
They soon recruited Jim Lea on bass, a multi-instrumentalist who would become the band's secret weapon, and Noddy Holder on guitar and vocals. "The four of us ended up with a magic between us which happened on our first day of rehearsal," Hill remembers. "We just played in this pub, never played together, ever. And we played one or two songs that all of us knew by someone else, and we kinda looked at each other and went 'Eh, there's something good about this'."
From the outset, the band strived for something different, and they honed their craft on the live circuit before cutting their debut album, Beginnings, in 1969. It was during those sessions that they met their future manager and bona fide rock & roll legend, Chas Chandler.
"He spotted us in London, in a small, poxy club," says Hill. "Chas Chandler was not on our wavelength at the time. We knew who he was, because he was one of The Animals and Jimi Hendrix's manager. But when we found he was coming to see us, it was flipping amazing.
"We knew he was there, cos he was a big guy. But he just loved us. He came up to us and said 'You're a breath of fresh air'. He was looking for something at the time. I couldn't think of anyone more perfect than him to help us, because he thought we really had something. He was very much into our looks, because of our quirky personalities. Especially me and Nod; Nod's voice, and my kind of appearance, he used to encourage me with my clothes. He really let me do what the heck I wanted to do because he knew I'd deliver."
This latter point is actually significant. Dave Hill is probably the reason Slade were so welcomed by the glam rock scene of the early 70s. Even in the era of Bowie and T. Rex, nobody was more flamboyant or more flashy, or more ridiculous than Hill. Adorned in silver, smattered with glitter, a bizarre hairstyle and an extroverted stage presence, you couldn't take your eyes off him or his iconic "Super Yob" guitar. There was one episode of Top of the Pops where he appeared to be dressed as some kind of bizarre, space age nun.
But in a lot of ways it was what was needed at the time. Britain in the early 70s was pretty destitute, both politically and economically. Power cuts were a common occurrence – sometimes limiting Britain to a three day week. Even pictures from the era look drab with rubbish piling up in the street. People were poor.
The glam rock bands often provided escapism for the masses. This is a tradition that goes back centuries. In times of destitution, popular entertainment has traditionally swung to fantasy. This isn't just true of the glam rock era, but the late 70s disco boom in the USA, straight out of Watergate and straight into recession. Hell, the 1929 Wall Street Crash was soundtracked by Leo Reisman's Happy Days Are Here Again.
Slade were at the epicentre of this escapist rock & roll. They were larger than life both on record and on stage, but there was something altogether more gritty about them underneath the surface. They were heavy in a way that the records produced by the Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman factory of glitter rock never were.
That raw energy was captured on 1972's Slade Alive! – the live album that changed everything for the band. "Slade Alive! was released as a watershed because we didn't have an LP," Hill tells me. "So we spent a couple of days recording a live album, which I think really represents what we were really all about in the late 60s. And that album is full of all sorts of songs; songs by other people – Born To Be Wild, Get Down and Get With It, John Sebastian. All sorts of stuff on that album. But it became a worldwide smash. I think it's because it's got energy and it was a real band."
By this point, the band had already scored two hit singles. The first was the aforementioned Get Down and Get With It, a cover of a song made famous by Little Richard. As Hill says, "Any Slade fan knows about that song, but it wasn't our song but we made it our own."
Indeed they did. Get Down and Get With It announced Slade in raw, boot-stomping style. It got their sound down on record, but the next step was to write.
"The one thing Chas did that was really important for Slade, was that he got us to write our own songs. That's the best advice he ever gave us. We used to write with each other, then Nod and Jim got together and they came up with Coz I Luv You and Chas said 'I think you've written your first hit, chaps. In fact, I think you've written your first number one'."
Coz I Luv U – Slade's first number one
The band were sceptical. It didn't exactly sound like anything else on the radio, and was far more mellow than what their audience had become accustomed to with Get Down and Get With It. Not to mention that bassist and writer Jim Lea played a violin solo on the track, due to the fact that he and Holder were discovering French jazz violinist Stephan Grappelli at the time. The goal was to merge Grappelli with the simplicity of T. Rex's Hot Love. They wrote the song in an hour one afternoon in the council house where Noddy lived with his parents.
"The violin made it such a unique record on the radio stations that we got in the charts," says Hill. He's right of course. To this day the violin sounds fresh and different. Even though you know it is coming, it is no less surprising. "Then we got on Top Of The Pops, then it shot to number one, and that started the run of number ones with us".
Those number ones – Take Me Bak 'Ome, Mama Weer All Crazee Now, Cum On Feel The Noize, Skweeze Me Pleeze Me and, of course, Merry Xmas Everybody were just the tip of the iceberg for Slade's commercial zenith. Just missing the top spot were Gudbuy T'Jane, Look Wot U Dun and My Friend Stan. The latter two seemed to have caused slight contention from Hill, who was said to have believed that piano on a Slade record meant it was destined for less success.
That said, they are two personal favourites. Look Wot U Dun is almost Lennon-esque, but with more humour (see: the heavy breathing in the chorus) and a greater hook than Lennon ever really managed in his solo career. My Friend Stan borders on the kind of music hall influence that Queen would make their bread and butter a few years down the line.
Holder and Lea had become one of Britain's most successful songwriting teams. It was Hill's job to go out there and perform them, once uttering to a mortified looking Jim Lea as Hill emerged in one of his outrageous outfits "You write them, Jim, I'll sell them".
? Rating Queen : Planet Slop ranks every single album?
But there was something about Slade that stayed remarkably British. This is most obviously seen in the song titles themselves. When the band released Coz I Luv You, they titled it as such because they didn't think Because I Love You suited them. Aside from giving them a cheeky edge, it ensured that they stayed true to their roots. After all, those titles are all spelt phonetically for the band's Black Country accent.
This really is central to Slade's enduring appeal, more so than the flashy clothes or nostalgia. Hill's new memoir, So Here It Is, features a short afterword from Noel Gallagher that underlines this. "It was quite short, but to the point", he explains. "He said if there was no Slade, there would be no Oasis. As much as he liked The Beatles, Slade to him were like a bunch of guys who lived down the council houses and he felt he could relate to that. And that's exactly what we were; like in Liverpool, or in Manchester, or in the midlands, or anywhere. Growing up in the council estate is what I did. And really learning to play and all the rest of it – I don't know what would have happened to me if I didn't play guitar."
This relatable, working class ethic was probably most apparent in the 1974 movie Slade In Flame.
Hot off the heels of their string of number one hits, Chandler thought it would be an idea for Slade to make a film. A natural choice – if, indeed, Slade were practically the 70s Beatles in terms of success, shouldn't they follow the Fab Four onto the big screen?
Most people probably expected the band to make a knockabout musical comedy. A Slade Day's Night, if you will. But they ended up taking the complete opposite route.
The film is a dark, cynical depiction of the realities of the music industry through the eyes of a 60s pop band. Many of the events staged were based on true stories that either happened to Slade themselves, or their contemporaries. BBC movie critic Mark Kermode has called it "The Citizen Kane of British pop movies". In his Film Club back in 2012, Kermode explained that Slade In Flame "took a group of popular, glamorous musicians and portrayed them as pawns in a great economic struggle; people who were sold just like fish fingers. It was the most downbeat portrayal of the glamour of the pop world."
Unsurprisingly, the film received a mixed reaction from fans who weren't prepared for such a gritty image of their heroes. But over time it has come to be viewed as something of a masterpiece. Furthermore, I would argue that the soundtrack is the greatest album Slade ever made.
Perhaps the fact that Holder and Lea were writing for a fictional band in the 60s rather than Slade themselves, there is a greater musical scope on the record than usual. Make no mistake, it still sounds like Slade. But it sounds like Slade reaching a new artistic plateau.
The first single from the album was Holder's favourite Slade song. Far Far Away was written while the band were touring America, and it sounds equally as awestruck by the sights and sounds of the states as it does homesick. It is used masterfully in the film, in the moments before the band's break-up as they leave the stage for the final time.
But the absolute masterstroke on the album is the opening track, and de facto theme tune of the whole movie, How Does It Feel?
Unbelievably, this masterpiece was the first song Jim Lea ever wrote – the melody dates back as far as 1963. He dusted it off for the film and re-worked it with Noddy. It is a swirling epic, as long as Bohemian Rhapsody and features an almost orchestral arrangement. It is an astonishing song, a work of true art. Between this and Far, Far Away, as well as some of the album's more experimental cuts (This Girl) and the expected rockers (Them Kinda Monkeys Can't Swing), the Slade In Flame soundtrack shows a band reaching the absolute apex of their artistic powers, as well as increasing maturity.
Unfortunately, though, How Does It Feel? was Slade's first single since Coz I Love You four years earlier to miss the top 10. In fact, Slade would only score one more top 10 in the 70s – that was follow up single Thanks For The Memory.
Like when any band falls out of commercial favour, there is no one reason of this. Common explanations range from the darkness of the film, market fatigue and, like everything else in the 70s, the onset of punk.
This latter point has always troubled me. The exhilaration and energy of Slade's early hits were certainly a precursor for punk. The heaviness, the energy, the short, sharp singles, the super yob – it's all in punk's plain sight. The likes of Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Damned, The Clash and The Replacements all cited Slade as a major influence. Further down the line when alternative rock became a big deal, Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins also cited Slade. Surely, if any band from the early 70s should have rode punk's waves, it was Slade?
Ditto for the metal bands who followed in their wake. Like Slade, Kiss achieved their breakthrough with a live album called Alive (no coincidence). Although mainstream success eluded Slade in America during the 70s, it could be argued that they had the kind of effect that the likes of the Velvet Underground had on their audience; they didn't sell many records, but everyone who did buy their records became stars later on, from Cheap Trick, to Van Halen and Twisted Sister – all of whom covered Slade at one point or another.
Let us also not forget that at one point AC/DC wanted Noddy to front the band following the death of Bon Scott.
Slade's effect on metal in Britain was probably most obviously seen at the Reading Festival in 1980. On a bill populated by bands from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the band were a last minute replacement for Ozzy Osbourne, who had pulled out.
They hadn't had a significant hit in four years, and here they were surrounded by new blood; Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Krokus, Samson. They were sure they would get bottled off the stage. After all, it was a Reading tradition.
Hill didn't even want to play the show. He was planning to leave the band and hire out his Rolls Royce for weddings. Chandler convinced him to play.
They aced it, performing arguably the most legendary set in the history of the Reading Festival. The young bands watched with their mouths agape, the audience were re-acquainted with the biggest band of their youth. They didn't even rely on the hits. Sure, they played the big warhorses, but at least half of the set was stacked with their most recent material; Dizzy Mama, My Baby Left Me, Wheels Ain't Coming Down, When I'm Dancing I Ain't Fighting. The latter even appeared on a live EP from the festival and became a live favourite in the later stages of Slade's career.
Word spread like wild fire, and the band were completely revitalised. Polydor rush released the gold selling compilation Slade Smashes. The venues for the band's winter tour increased in size, and the audiences were rabid. The title track from their next album, the aptly titled We'll Bring The House Down, rode this wave of renewed success and hit the top 10 for the first time in six years.
They even finally started to crack the US market. Hot off the heels of Quiet Riot's hit cover of Cum On Feel The Noize, power ballad My Oh My and the Big Country-esque Run Runaway made an impressive showing on the Billboard chart, with the former going top 40 and the latter shooting into the top 20, with regular plays on the burgeoning MTV. Both songs were also top 10 hits in the UK.
But Holder's increasing reluctance to tour meant that sales began slipping again. Run Runaway was the band's final major hit. Despite some valiant efforts, such as Myzsterious Mizster Jones and Little Sheila, not to mention the final album You Boyz Make Big Noize, which matched their 70s style with 80s technology far more successfully than they had in the past.
They rounded their career out with Wall Of Hits – a compilation which ironically could have signaled another resurgence for the band, with the compilation's lead single Radio Wall Of Sound, featuring a lead vocal from Jim Lea, becoming a surprising hit.
But Holder was disillusioned. He left the band in 1992 to pursue other career paths. Lea followed, believing Noddy was integral to the band.
Hill and drummer Don Powell continued to tour as Slade II, but eventually shortened the name simply to Slade, and are playing Liverpool's Hangar 34 on Friday 22nd December – just in time for Christmas.
Slade's current incarnation
I put it to Hill that Slade are one of the most underrated bands of all time, a suggestion he sees both ways. "Sometimes I do get it, like maybe we were more important than we realised," he admits. "I think the important thing about us is the longevity. Our success is in the fact that people remember us. And when people come to see us, we're not the sort of band where you're waiting for their hit record, which is usually towards the end of the set. We start off with a hit record and we carry on playing hit records. Now if that gives you an idea of our success, there are not many bands who could do a whole set and half of it be number ones. There are not many bands that have that calibre.
"I'm very happy that I walk around and people recognise my face, and they smile at me with joy."
Hill has recently published his memoir, So Here It Is, in which he details his own battles with depression and recovery from a stroke he suffered on stage in 2006. He says; "I met somebody the other day who had read my book and said I'd give him hope to go back to the psychiatrist to get him well. And I was quite moved by it. There was a guy in Worthing when I was playing there and he was quite emotional with me as well. And I thought if you make a difference to one life, it's a good thing. So I wanted people to read it to enjoy it, and there's a lot of humour, but I also wanted to help people".
This feels like an impetus for both Slade and Hill in the broader sense. Slade undoubtedly helped Britain get through tough times in the 70s, simply by existing. Hill is obviously determined to carry this tradition on.
"I feel like what I do, and what I'll do in Liverpool, is I bring those memories to people."
Slade play Liverpool's Hangar 34 on Friday 22nd December 2017.
Dave Hill's memoir, So Here It Is, is out now.

Q: Pass custom data to a simulated JavaScript event I want to be able to pass custom data to a simulated JavaScript event so that I can uniquely identify this simulated event in an event listener callback. For example, if I were to call:
var event = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
var args = ['mousemove', true, true, window, 1, 0, 0];
event.initMouseEvent.apply(event, args);
target.dispatchEvent(event);

How would I be able to pass data to this event and then retrieve it from an event listener callback?

A: Just add that data to your event object should be enough:
target.addEventListener("mousemove", function(e) {
    console.log(e.data);
}, false);

var event = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
var args = ['mousemove', true, true, window, 1, 0, 0];
event.data = "foobar";
event.initMouseEvent.apply(event, args);
target.dispatchEvent(event);

P.S.
Notice that the args are not enough in some browsers, all of them are required otherwise an exception is thrown. I'm not sure what are the browsers you want to supports. For all the arguments, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM/event.initMouseEvent

Stars in Milky Way's halo found to travel in groups
by Gemma Lavender, 30 January 2017
The finding was made after recent analysis of data for millions of stars from the Gaia space mission

Many stars in the halo that surrounds the Milky Way travel in groups. This is the outcome of a recent analysis of data for millions of stars from the Gaia space mission.
The Milky Way, our own galaxy, has likely formed in part from the merging of many smaller systems. How exactly that happened is still a puzzle. To learn more about the history of formation of the Milky Way, astronomers from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and University of California, Riverside in the United States have inspected the motions of stars in the so-called galactic halo. Stars in the halo are more pristine and spend most of their time outside of the disk-like structure that gives the Milky Way its name. It is thought that these halo stars are the stars that joined the Milky Way onboard of small galaxies.
The researchers discovered that a large fraction of the halo stars travel in groups. "This indicates that the stars indeed originate from small galaxies that were cannibalised by the Milky Way a very long time ago," says Helmi, who describes these groups as large flows of stars like flocks of birds traveling together through the Milky Way. "We believe there might be tens or even hundreds such flocks. At the moment, we only see small groups with just a few stars, but that is probably because we do not yet have all the necessary data."
The team of astronomers were bewildered of the behaviour of halo stars that spend most of the time in the outskirts of the Milky Way. Surprisingly more than 70 per cent of those stars appear to be moving in the opposite sense than the vast majority of stars in the Milky Way. Such a high fraction is unexpected in current models. "One may compare stars from the outer halo with commuters that drive the wrong way. We do not yet quite understand why," Helmi adds.
These discoveries were made using halo stars that, in their journey through the Milky Way, are by chance currently close to the Sun. In the future, Gaia will provide us with data from stars from all over the Milky Way. "With such data we will get many new insights on how the Milky Way formed and be able to reconstruct its genealogy tree," concludes Helmi.

Has Webb Acquired Necessary Temperatures For MIRI To Work?
April 24, 2022 April 24, 2022 by SunniyaZ
The Mid-Infrared Instrument MIRI on NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is currently cooling to under 7 Kelvin with a helium gas cryocooler. As the cooler reached its final state, the Webb team is operating the MIRI instrument this week as part of the seventh and final stage of the telescope alignment.
When the instrument is in operation, its detectors and electronics generate heat that is balanced by a cryogenic cooler to keep the MIRI at a stable and very low operating temperature.
How Does Near Infrared Instruments Cool Down?
The near infrared instruments also warm up during operations and have to dissipate heat, although for these instruments this is done with passive cooling; the heat from the detectors and electronics is radiated into deep space.
Read: With Below 7 Kelvins, Webb's MIRI Has Reached It's Final Operating Temperature
What Is The Cooling Process Of The Mirrors In JWST?
When the instruments are at their operating temperatures, the telescope mirrors will also continue cooling down to their final temperatures, but they are not quite there yet.
The primary mirror part and the secondary mirror are made of beryllium (gold coating). At cryogenic temperatures, beryllium has a large thermal time constant, so it takes a long time to cool or heat up. The primary mirror segment is still cooling and very slow.
The secondary mirror, hanging out on the end of its support structure a long way from any heat sources, is the coldest mirror, currently at 29.4 Kelvin. The temperature of 18 parts of the primary mirror is 34.4-54.5 Kelvin.
Also read: How Does Webb Telescope's MIRI Detectors Stay Cold to Operate Properly?
What Is The Advantage Of Beryllium Mirrors?
The advantage of beryllium mirrors is that the temperature range does not affect the alignment process of the telescope, as beryllium mirrors do not change shape with these temperature change while glass mirrors will do at these temperatures.
What Is The Present Condition Of The JWST Mirrors?
Presently 4 out of 18 mirror segments (52.6, 54.2, 54.4, and 54.5) are above 50 Kelvin. The mid-infrared rays emitted by these four mirror segments reaches the MIRI detectors.
Since all mirrors are now below 55 Kelvin temperatures, MIRI is expected to be sensitive enough to do the planned study, but further cooling these mirrors will only improve performance. Webb's team hopes the mirror can cool another 0.5 to 2 Kelvin.
Pointing the telescope at a celestial body, the telescope and sunshield will move together. The angle at which the sunshield points to the sun is called "pointing attitude". The trace residual heat transferred to the main mirror through the five-fold sunshield depends on this position, and since the temperature of the mirror segment changes very slowly, the temperature depends on the average position over several days.
Read more: Do Aliens Exist: How JWST Will Solve Its Major Launch Objective?
Where Is Webb Currently Staying?
During Functioning, Webb is spending most of its time pointing to the ecliptic. This is a relatively hot attitude. While doing science operations this summer, the telescope will show a much more uniform distribution of pointings above the sky.
Also, the average heat load on the hottest part of the mirror is expected to decrease slightly and the mirror is expected to cool itself slightly.
We have successfully achieved a milestone of 7 Kelvin for Miri to work because of its cryocoolers, but somehow if we got temperature less than that it will only increase the performance and efficiency of MIRI to work.
Scientists are also planning to check the thermal dependence of the mirror during its orientation. For a process called thermal slew, scientists will point the Webb in the hot position for several days and then in the cool position for several days.
This will help us by providing information about the time for the mirror to cool down or warm up when the observatory is in that position for a particular period.

Worry about food standards
The United States Government and its ambassador here have made clear that the terms for a trade deal with the UK after Brexit would include the following.
Wednesday, 03 April, 2019, 09:00
We would have to accept beef and pork raised with growth-promoting hormones, which are banned within the EU; to change our rules over GM crops and to accept meat, fish and poultry treated with antibiotics; to allow into the UK crops produced using pesticides and herbicides, which are banned by the EU, and to make amendments to lower the permitted residue limits.
Michael Gove has told farmers that our food standards would not be lowered in pursuit of trade deals, but Liam Fox, in charge of trade deals, has said that he has no problem with such alterations.
The EU, with a population of 513million against 327million in the US, has been able to resist these proposed changes.
With the UK population at 63million, draw your own conclusions about who might win in any US/UK negotiations.

Busy P, the busiest man at Ed Banger Records, has just confirmed Justice is locked in their studio working on new music. The legendary duo, Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, revealed earlier this year that "they are working on it," but this recent confirmation from Busy P only fuels our anxiety. No further details have been divulged, excluding a suspected leak of a new track from the dynamic duo, but judging by the label's schedule, an Autumn 2016 release doesn't seem too far fetched.
In the meantime, Ed Banger Records is keeping busy, promising albums from both Breakbot and Cassius, expected to release later this year and in early 2016. In addition, Boston Bun, Riton and DJ Pone have hinted at new material in the works, and SebastiAn has been busy collaborating with Frank Ocean. Apart from a hectic schedule with Ed Banger, Busy P is gearing up for an XOYO residency in London, featuring a massive list of guests from Boys Noize, Gesaffelstein, Brodinski, Justice, and more.

Q: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RegisteredServers, Version=15.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' Based on my answer in Unable to create RegisteredServer in Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RegisteredServers, I installed
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlManagementObjects
Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo

It worked on Consol Application based on .Net Core 2.0 and ClassLibrary based on .Net Standard 2.0:

Now I use them in my main C# Solution with Web Application based on .Net Framework 4.7.1 and Class Library based on .Net Standard 2.0:

I got this error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RegisteredServers, Version=15.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

I tried different solution like
The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference but they did not work

A: Finally, a combination of solutions worked:
1) Delete the obj and bin folders
2) Update the  references from web.config file, and then run this command from the NuGet Package Manager console in order to add new bindings:
Get-Project -All | Add-BindingRedirect

3) Deleting C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\~\Temporary ASP.NET Files\ directory
4) Adding dependentAssembly to web.config:
  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RegisteredServers" publicKeyToken="89845dcd8080cc91" culture="neutral" />
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-15.100.0.0" newVersion="15.100.0.0" />
  </dependentAssembly>

It should be the same as project.cspj:

The technology that has had the most crucial impact on the IT sector and that has completely changed the landscape of in-house IT infrastructure is cloud computing. Currently, the SFPUC is leading a national effort to develop public health guidelines that can be adopted by state agencies or local officials to support the adoption of onsite water systems. Emerging technologies, born from this creativity, have the potential to create new American jobs, fuel the U.S. economy, and improve quality of life across the Nation. Communication with parents or a team of experts is critical when determining how and what to include as assistive technology in the classroom.
Emerging technologies are those technical innovations which represent progressive developments within a field for competitive advantage ; 3 converging technologies represent previously distinct fields which are in some way moving towards stronger inter-connection and similar goals. The software or programs used with data projection technology in the classroom also needs to accommodate young learners' development.
Often used in combination, the 'Essential Eight' emerging technologies identified from our analysis reflect the development of increasingly autonomous, intelligent and connected devices, and the blurring of the physical and virtual world. Software defined everything will result in true interoperability standards, forcing individual technology suppliers to abandon working in silos with proprietary standards. Nano technology is important because it will have massive effects across every area of life.
SET establishes strong partnerships with area community colleges to insure seamless transitions for students desiring a four-year degree that focuses on an area of technology. This technology was being used in the 1970s with automobiles, however, they are virtually everywhere now. Having said that the embedded technology is gaining significance, there couldn't be two stances on career opportunities.

White House Requests ARISE II Briefing from Academy
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The American Academy will brief the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) on the Academy's ARISE II project as background for a potential PCAST study on the future of the U.S. science and technology research enterprise. Academy Fellows and PCAST co-chairs John Holdren (Presidential Science Advisor) and Eric Lander (Broad Institute) made the request.
The Academy's study on Advancing Research in Science and Engineering (ARISE II) is exploring ways universities, industry, and the government can work together more effectively to advance U.S. research. The ARISE II committee's recommendations will focus on new models of collaboration and how funding will need to change to support these novel partnerships. ARISE II Co-chairs Keith Yamamoto (University of California, San Francisco) and Venky Narayanamurti (Harvard University) will brief PCAST members this month.
PCAST is an advisory group of the nation's leading scientists and engineers who directly advise the President and the Executive Office of the President. PCAST makes policy recommendations in the many areas where understanding of science, technology, and innovation is key to strengthening our economy and forming policy that works for the American people. PCAST is administered by the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Founded in 1780, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (www.amacad.org) is an independent policy research center that conducts multidisciplinary studies of complex and emerging problems. Current Academy research focuses on science and technology policy; global security; social policy; the humanities and culture; and education. With headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Academy's work is advanced by its 4,300 elected members, who are leaders in the academic disciplines, the arts, business and public affairs from around the world.

[ENG] For over a decade, and almost every Christmas, Sufjan Stevens recorded a Christmas album that he gifted to friends and family.
The recording process took place every December, for one week, usually at home, provoking collaborations with friends, roommates, and musical peers.
In 2006, Stevens' label, Asthmatic Kitty Records, released Songs for Christmas, a CD boxset compiling the first five of these albums, Volumes I-V.
And in 2012, the label released Silver & Gold, a CD and vinyl boxset compiling of Volumes VI-X.
But the first five volumes have never been released to vinyl. This holiday season, Asthmatic Kitty Records is finally releasing Songs for Christmas: Volumes I-V as a 5xLP vinyl boxset.
The boxset arrives November 2, 2018 and includes fan favorites like "Sister Winter," "That Was The Worst Christmas Ever," "Only At Christmas Time," and "Put The Lights on the Tree."
1.5. IT'S CHRISTMAS! LET'S BE GLAD!
2.7. HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING!
2.8. WHAT CHILD IS THIS ANYWAY?
3.2. COME ON! LET'S BOOGEY TO THE ELF DANCE!
3.5. THAT WAS THE WORST CHRISTMAS EVER!
4.3. HEY GUYS! IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME!
5.2. GET BEHIND ME, SANTA!


Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins came out right around the time that I was first actively using my GoodRead's wishlist to track books I wanted to read. It was a hugely popular book when it came out so I can't point to a single book blog that inspired me to read it.
Sophie Mercer has been sentenced to complete her studies at a small private boarding school for magical beings. At thirteen she came into her powers and after three years of making a nuisance of herself, she's being sent to Hecate Hall.
Like so many series, Sophie goes into her new life, one which includes a vampire for a roommate, unprepared. She knows of magic and she's figured out a few simple spells but she doesn't know the history of witches, warlocks and other magical creatures. She doesn't understand how much danger she's in for being magical. Nor does she understand her own family history.
Whenever a clueless main character is getting initiated into a new life and a new school, there is of course something dangerous afoot. Here, there are attacks on the dark witches. Can Sophie hone her skills, prove that her roommate is innocent?
What I'm trying to say is that while the book builds on recognizable tropes, it's an entertaining read.
The cover pulls me in but I don't enjoy reading fantasy so I have stayed away.... sad but true.
It's mostly a teen boarding school drama. The fantasy is merely wrapping. It's more mystery / adventure than fantasy.
I really enjoyed this book — it was a lot of fun! However I didn't really like the sequel — super swoon for Cal!
I liked the sequel and I'm looking forward to the third book.

Q: NSTableView navigate with arrow keys How can I navigate through my table view with the arrow keys.  Much like setAction: or setDoubleAction, but instead of reacting to clicks, react with the arrow keys moving up or down through the table.

A: In your table view delegate, implement tableView:shouldSelectRow:.  Do whatever you want, then return YES.  It'll get triggered as you select items in the table view.

A: I'm not sure what you mean because when I select something in a table I can move up and down in the table using the arrow keys. But if you want to customize the behavior more I have a solution. In one of my apps I wanted to detect when the return or enter key was pressed and then perform some action accordingly. I created a new class and made it a subclass of NSWindow. In interface builder I set the main window to be this class. Then I override the keyDown: method of NSWindow in that subclass. So whenever my main window is frontmost (first responder) then key presses are detected and filtered through the method. I'm sure you could do something similar for arrow presses. You might want to make your class a subclass of NSTableView instead of NSWindow depending on how you want to catch the key presses. I wanted it to work for the entire application but you may want it to work only when the table view is first responder.
- (void)keyDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
    if ([theEvent type] == NSKeyDown) {
        NSString* characters = [theEvent characters];
        if (([characters length] > 0) && (([characters characterAtIndex:0] == NSCarriageReturnCharacter) || ([characters characterAtIndex:0] == NSEnterCharacter))) {
            // do something here when return or enter is pressed
        }
    }
}

A: aha!  Did you accidentally BREAK NSTableView by doing this?
@implementation NSTableView ( DeleteKeyCategory )
-( void ) keyDown: ( NSEvent * ) event
{
   // ... do something ...

   [super keyDown:event];
}
@end

For me, this had the nefarious side effect of REPLACING NSTableView's keyDown: routine, and it broke the cursor keys.  (kind of like swizzling)
Lessons I've learned:
  - avoid the keyDown: routine altogether.
  - subclassing Apple NSControls will save work in the long run.
This is the type of mistake that makes using NSTableView very frustrating.
Maybe Apple could detect this kind of thing in the static analyzer?

A: Arrows are used for selection, not for performing any Action. The action that will be applied to the selected item will usually be set by the "action" or "doubleAction" property of the TableView.
Clicking on a table-row does two different things.

*

*TRIES to select the table row (sometimes the table-row can REFUSE to be selected, that's why there is a "shouldSelect" delegate method).

*If new selection took place, then the action is performed (with the tableView as the sender). There you can ask the table about the current selection and do whatever you need with it.
Please consider the situation when there are SEVERAL selected rows, or selected columns, or many other complicated situations.
In your case --- what I would recommend, is that you implement the
selectionDidChange:(NSNotigivation)notification;
NSTableView delegate call. This is called AFTER selection has changed, and you know by then the new current selection, and do whatever you want with the selected items.

Der Airy-Gletscher ist ein etwa 32 km langer und bis zu 10 km breiter Gletscher, der an der Westküste der Antarktischen Halbinsel in westlicher Richtung in den nordöstlichen Abschnitt des Forster-Piedmont-Gletschers fließt.

Eine erste grobe Kartierung nahmen Teilnehmer der British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) vor. Aus der Luft wurde er 1947 bei der Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) fotografiert. Die Vermessung des Gletschers nahm 1958 der Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey vor. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte den Gletscher nach dem britischen Astronomen George Biddell Airy (1801–1892), der 1839 eine Methode zur Korrektur der Missweisung magnetischer Kompasse entwickelt hatte.

Q: Non-localized strings in android How do I avoid (some) of my string resources getting localized?
Sometimes I need the same string multiple places. For instance when defining a preference I need the preference key both in my preferences.xml and in my java code in order to get the preference value. Either I can manually define the key twice (which I do now) but I feel that my list of keys is getting large and error prone.
I could also define the key in my strins.xml but then I fear it will get translated (sooner or later (by mistake?)). I fear this could cause problems to have the same preference value store multiple times with different keys. What if the user changes language and all the settings got reset?
Is there a way to define a string - accessible both in code and xml - which will not get translated as a part of the localization process?

A: In general, if you provide the string only in your default strings.xml it will appear the same on all locales. In addition you can use the "translatable" attribute which will tell Lint that this string is not designed to be translated, and will serve for documentation purposes.

A: Just use translatable=false. And I suggest putting your preferences keys to separate resource file as it would be easier to manage.
<string name="Key" translatable="false">my key</string>


It's December. The year is wrapping up and I have been thinking back over it all.
I don't know if its because I'm on extra social media outlets now, or because I pay a little more attention to the news than I used to, or because I am more sensitive, but it feels like 2016 was a whoopee of a year. There was just so much chaos, grief, devestation, violence, and hatred out there. I know those things have always been prevalent in this broken world, but somehow they all felt more concentrated and heavy this year.
It was a hard year. Even on the tail end of it I struggle to make meaningful sense of it all. So I have been thinking forward to the new year. I have decided that rather than make a silly resolution I won't keep, I will remember the most valuable lesson I learned this year so that I can carry it with me into next year.
What 2016 has beaten into me with fervor (other than the fact that I cannot pull off midi length skirts) is that I must be humble.
Not more humble. Not falsely humble. Humble.
This is NOT easy for me. I have a dogged tendency to place being right more highly than being soft and respectful. But I have come to see that sincere modesty invites much more positive change in my envrionment than boastful or stubborn "rightness".
Not to say that I have to be a meek and lowly doormat. Simply that being more mild in my actions and reactions will nearly always garner astronomically better results.
The thing is, when I announce that I am right, and my rightness is the only rightness that was ever right, I automatically put others on the defensive. They feel alienated and judged. It puts us on opposing sides and opens the field for battle. Good stuff does not come from this. I learn nothing. The other person learns nothing. We just dig our heels in deeper. Things get hurtful.
2016 has taught me that I want to hold my beliefs and opinions humbly. Not lightly. Not tight fisted. That way I can be right in such a way that others feel free to join me. And I can be wrong in such a way that others feel safe in helping me.
