We are located in the heart of Naples in Corso Vittorio Emanuele in the former stables of a palace. The studio has been founded by famous singer Mauro Nardi, successor of neomelodic folk music. In 2016 the studio has been taken over, renovated and modernized by the Kokoro Association, conceived and founded by president Sabrina Carnevale, who created a team of experts and others interested in the subject, amongst which are sound engineers of the various categories, technicians, and producers.
Kokoro is a Japanese word. Generally, it simultaneously signifies both the mind and all the human activity the mind is a centre of – not only then thought and will, but also feelings. It is then a matter of all the mental functions such as confidence or trust, determination, courage, compassion, etc. – these are all expressions with which the word is often translated.
In Italian, however, it is often translated with the word "heart".
It is precisely with heart and huge passion that Kokoro wants to be a space for artistic and cultural diffusion. In fact, in addition to offering audio services, thanks to the extremely well-equipped studio, Kokoro has spaces for live performances and a TV stream to promote the musical and cultural activities that it offers, thanks to the active participations of members and artists.
Naples' Kokoro Recording Studio is one of the most important recording studios in the city. Amongst its hallways there are numerous amateur singer and musicians, but many professionals, too, choose this studio to create their records. In fact, in addition to the state-of-the-art instruments and the excellent sound-proofing of the rooms, Kokoro Recording Studio is proud to have a team of expert professionals such as sound technicians, producers and musical experts, who can guide our artists in all the recording steps to guarantee the best results. All the recording rooms are different but equally accurate and equipped, so that more people can work simultaneously without excessively extending the waiting time.
Mayor music experts say that what sets aside a masterpiece from a good work is the musical arrangement. In fact, it isn't enough to have a score, to decide the melody and to reproduce it – the sounds and instruments have to necessarily be organized so that the music really comes to life. To arrange a piece, one must have an in-depth and varied music knowledge, but also a great fantasy to explore where no one has ever been. Musical notes, after all, are always seven and always the same, even if they are combined in different ways. The arrangement is what makes the difference, what distinguishes a piece from another, what adapts it to the ideal, final result. The same song, in fact, can change completely according to the arrangement. The professionals at Kokoro Association are available to arrange and accompany the musicians, giving advice and suggestions for their projects.
To produce a piece means to believe all the way into a project and to make it your own. To produce a work means to materially bring it to life, to bring it to the world and to make sure everyone gets to know about it and is able to appreciate it. Kokoro Association has been active for many years in the world of music productions. With its record label, it has brought on the music scene of Naples and beyond numerous artists that have quickly flown away to faraway countries, earning a well-deserved success. The production of a text requires a lot of effort and sacrifice, but for Kokoro Association giving the possibility to emerge to its young talents is worth all the necessary effort, because contentment is the real motor of this association.
Every singer, whether a professional of a beginner, at the moment when he or she records their track, wants to work on a launch music video. The music video starts at the end of the master recording, when the producer decides which one is the most suitable for the launch of the recording. Obviously, one does not create a music video for each track, but only for the most meaningful one. Kokoro Association makes available any professional and figure necessary to realize professional and high-quality music videos. Team Kokoro is often hired by established singers on the national and international level to realize music videos precisely for the team's ability and competence. Each aspect is entirely curated by the association, from the video's realization to the editing, to guarantee the continuity of the work and, therefore, a complete success in every respect.
Precisely because one cannot improvise to be a sound technician, but it is instead necessary to acquire a certain experience and competence in the subject, Kokoro Association decided to organize some audio courses open to everyone, young and adults, where one can learn the basics of an extraordinary profession of infinite potentialities. The audio courses open doors to numerous opportunities, from working in the rehearsal space to working in great events, without forgetting the fascinating world of recordings. In an accurate and professional learning process, the course attendants can have access to state-of-the-art instruments to learn all the secrets of this world.
Precisely because of the passion that all the Kokoro Association members share in common, precisely because of the goal to introduce a growing number of enthusiasts to the music world, Kokoro Recording Studio has established music courses for all levels. From those aimed at beginners who have never dealt with music, to the advanced training ones aimed at professionals who want to refine their technique with professional instructors, Kokoro Association offers the music courses that are more adequate to their preparation. Thanks to graded courses and to a constant growing process followed by true excellence in the subject, even the less experts can soon find themselves singing with fluency and without shame. The music courses are open to enthusiasts of all ages.
Even the best ones, sometimes, need suggestions or even just some advice. At Kokoro Association we have many experts who are ready to give their support to all those who need it. Consultations range over all the music world, from composition to arrangements, from sound concordance to the texts. The professionals at Kokoro Association are real music leaders, who follow the ideal of perfection. Consultations are focused on the final result, on the goal one wants to reach. Offering consultations isn't simple, because a great knowledge must be joined by a fair share of sensitivity, something that our experts certainly don't lack.
Since Kokoro Association is an excellent organization within the Neapolitan music scene, how could musical entertainment have not been part of it? The association members are really active in this and their art is often requested for great events or private ceremonies. Musicians and singers of every type and genre are ready to offer their contribution to gift moments of joy, fun, and amusement, by offering the best of the Neapolitan, Italian and international music repertoire. You can ask to have an entire band or just a singer. Every musical request is followed and entertainment is guaranteed. We use professional instruments and instrumentation to offer the best sound in any circumstance, both indoors and outdoors.
Anyone can work in Kokoro's recording rooms, even those who are not members. In fact, the rooms can be rented with or without instruments by whomever is looking for a place where to work to realize their last project, or simply by who is looking for a well-equipped recording room where to spend some time with friends, pursuing one's passion for music. The equipment that is made available is really professional, precisely because anyone who contacts Kokoro Association deserves the best.
Kokoro wants to offer state-of-the-art services while giving values to various musical genres, and to support up-and-coming artists and projects by creating a new pole of excellence all made in Naples.
The studio is open from Monday to Friday, 11am to 7pm by appointment (entrance to the right), and 7pm to 11pm from Thursday to Sunday (entrance to the left).

Students from 15 Utah high schools, led by a contingent from Logan High, led the campaign for the resolution on environmental and economic stewardship that passed a House committee on Thursday. Members of the coalition posed for a picture after the vote.
Rep. Becky Edwards, R-North Salt Lake, presented her HCR7 on climate change Tuesday. The committee wrapped up the discussion Thursday, and passed the measure, 8-3.
Members of the House Committee on Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment are known for their conservative views on environmental issues. But, in Thursday's hearing, they praised the students who spoke up on what's been a hot-button issue in the past.
Testimony focused on good jobs, clean energy and environmental stewardship, along with the notion that leaders can take on climate change AND promote a healthy economy. In fact, they suggested both may be essential to Utah's future economy. Rep. Tim Hawkes, R-Centerville, complimented sponsoring Rep. Becky Edwards, R-North Salt Lake, and her coalition.
"With the focus on collaboration and stewardship and some of these concepts we can all get behind, I see it as a positive step," he said.
The Utah Legislature approved a resolution critical of climate-change science and policies seven years ago. Whether this climate-action resolution can go that far is still unknown.

Unchanged side for Wales against Bedfordshire
8th June 2021 | Matt Thompson
Wales NC have named an unchanged XI from the side that beat Buckinghamshire two weeks ago at High Wycombe.
A fine all round performance from experienced head Aneurin Norman saw Wales chase 197 with an over to spare setting up a fascinating encounter against visiting Bedfordshire this Sunday at Lisvane. The visitors narrowly came second best to One Day Cup holders Berkshire in the first round of games falling short in their pursuit of 265 by 4 runs.
Like Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire are almost strangers to Wales with the two sides having only played each other once in National Counties history - a one day cup knockout encounter in 1995. Skipper George Thurstance is no stranger to South Wales however, with the 29 year old a graduate of the Cardiff UCCE scheme between 2011 and 2013 - a hundred against Gloucestershire at Bristol being the highlight.
Glamorgan followers will also remember batsman James Kettleborough who enjoyed two years on the professional staff before being released in 2016. Former Kent and Essex all rounder Matt Coles, who has amassed over 580 wickets in first class, List A and T20 cricket leads the bowling attack.
Nonetheless, Wales head into Sunday's encounter knowing a victory will leave them in a healthy position to qualify for the knockout stages with Oxfordshire and Berkshire left to play. It's an opportunity captain Sam Pearce is all too aware of. He said, "we really want to build on a fortnight ago. Momentum is really important in these types of competitions so we want to keep that going into Sunday. Obviously it was good to get a result against Bucks but we know we can be better, particularly with the bat. Bedfordshire look a strong side so we'll need to be at our best, but as we said from the outset - we back ourselves to rise to the challenge."
Wales' batters will be keen to apply the same form that has been enjoyed in recent weeks - Cameron Herring smashed a hundred in the Welsh Cup against Llanelli, as did skipper Pearce against table toppers St Fagans. Steven Reingold continued his fine start to the season notching another half century and Tom Bevan's brisk 77 against Loughborough helped Cardiff UCCE reach the University One Day Cup final.
Sunday's match starts at 11am and on the back of the Welsh government's latest update - spectators are permitted. Entry to the ground is FREE.
Wales NC from: SJ Pearce* (Bridgend), TR Bevan (St Fagans), SJ Reingold (Neath), CR Brown, OMD Kolk (both Lansdown), GC Holmes (Cardiff), CL Herring+ (Pontarddulais), AW Gorvin (St Fagans), AJ Norman (Mumbles), TD Phillips (Cardiff), RD Edwards (Port Talbot), TL Jones (Bridgend).

The Private Finance Initiative is forcing doctors to work dangerously long hours
By George Monbiot. Published in the Guardian 27th May 1999.
Going without sleep for 24 hours, according to a paper published in Nature magazine, is roughly equivalent to drinking four pints of beer. Your responses are dulled, your intellect impaired, your sense of responsibility reduced. As a result, the hours worked by anyone whose lack of vigilance could be dangerous are strictly regulated: lorry drivers, for example, can be sacked immediately for spending too long at the wheel. There is just one exception to this eminently sensible rule. The only people encouraged to work around the clock are those charged with saving human lives.
This week, Britain's junior doctors believed, the murderous hours they work were to have been brought under control. They had hoped that the European Working Time Directive, which insists that most workers clock off after a 48-hour week, would be swiftly extended to their profession. They reckoned without the tenacity of the British Government. It lobbied and cajoled the European Commission to endanger the lives of British patients for another 13 years. The first four will be the most hazardous, for no new limits at all will be imposed.
As a result, some hospital doctors will continue to work for up to 90 hours a week. They will remain so stressed, so shift-drunk that they will carry on making dreadful mistakes. The junior doctor who killed a baby last month by injecting her with 100 times the recommended dose of morphine is surely as much to be pitied as condemned. The Government argues that the long transition period is required to ensure that there are no staff shortages in Britain's hospitals. This is true, as far as it goes. But it has told us only the beginning of the story.
Almost all the new hospitals being commissioned in Britain today are funded by means of the Private Finance Initiative: private companies build them, then rent them to the National Health Service. They also take care of the catering, cleaning and portering. By mobilising private capital, the government can open more hospitals than it could otherwise afford, and reduce the public sector borrowing requirement. By cutting the costs of peripheral services, it can plough more money into caring for patients.
That's the theory, at any rate. In truth, the Private Finance Initiative is a false economy, designed, principally, to appease a corporate lobby desperate to exploit that part of the nation's wealth still controlled by the state. Far from bringing private money into the health service, it will siphon health service money into the private sector.
Companies investing in the PFI require an annual return of around 12 or 14 per cent. This is supposed to come from two sources: the annual "surplus" the NHS pays to Treasury, and the contracts for non-clinical services. But the surplus amounts to just six per cent of NHS revenue, while the cleaning, catering and portering contracts appear to be able to generate only 3-4 per cent. The rest of the money has to come from the resources allocated to treating patients. The first ten privately financed hospitals to be completed, the British Medical Association calculates, will need an NHS subsidy of £220 million.
This means that both beds and services will have to be cut. Reducing bed numbers alone is achievable: better treatments and new technologies allow patients to be sent home earlier. But it is widely recognised that bed numbers can fall only if doctor numbers rise: a higher turnover of patients imposes a higher clinical and administrative burden on staff. But the NHS will not be able to afford the private companies' fees unless it sheds staff as well as beds.
The Department of Health's management consultants, Newchurch, calculate that for every £200 million spent under the Department's PFI programme, 1000 clinical jobs will be lost. This estimate seems to lie broadly in line with other projections: a report for the Coventry and Warwickshire Health Authorities, for example, suggests that the £174 million Walsgrave Hospital project will result in the loss of 560 staff. The £180 million Edinburgh Royal Infirmary scheme will require the release of almost 900 doctors and nurses.
So how will patients be treated? There is no slack in the hospital system: Britain, according to the accountancy expert Dr Jean Shaoul, has the cheapest public hospitals in the industrial world. GPs' surgeries and social services can't absorb many of the extra patients, as they are already desperately overstretched. The Department of Health has no choice but to continue to overwork its staff.
Junior doctors are just the first of the PFI's many sacrificial victims. The Private Finance Initiative will, eventually, strangle universal health provision, but not before some of the brightest young people in Britain have burnt themselves out trying to keep it alive.

Maybe you need to raise prices because your rent went up. Or maybe your town passed a law increasing minimum wage. Or maybe you just haven't done it in years. Either way, at some point you're going to have to think about increasing the prices at your bar. Today we're talking about how to navigate that process (hopefully) without p!ssing everyone off.
In some cases it's pretty cut-and-dry: a new manager comes in and says you need to raise prices. But other times it may be less obvious. For example, if you're not tracking your margins and COGS then you may not realize that your suppliers tiny little price increases have whittled away at your profits over the years. Start with your numbers and see if it's something you need to do.
OK, now you've established that you need to do it. But how?
Look for easy wins. Don't just increase the price for everything on your menu by X%. You may be able to adjust a small number of prices and make all the difference.
Survey the Competition: What's everyone else in your neighborhood charging?
Don't just look at the booze: You might be grossly undercharging for sodas or coffees - don't forget to look at these non- alcoholic items too!
Warn people 30 days prior, but let them know you'll honor the existing price until then. This reduces the shock when the "real" price increase happens.
And the nuclear option: If there's a regular you just can't lose, consider giving them a "lifetime price". This is hugely risky but something we've seen done before.


J.J. Abrams, zombies, and killin' Nazis. Heck yeah. Overlord.
That's all, that's the review... KIDDING.
Let's talk a little more about zombies, shall we? They're a dependable horror trope that's used quite often in movies, books, and television shows. Nazi zombies, in particular, are another widely used horror theme -- especially recently if you've played Call of Duty: WWII Nazi Zombies. This isn't an ad for Call of Duty either, that's just a perfect example. See? Always dependable. I wasn't crazy about this flick upon the first viewing of its trailer. Nothing about it really blew me out of the water. The excitement began to set in once I started hearing numerous good things about it after its premiere at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas. A lot of people were expecting it to be a sequel to the sci-fi/horror hit Cloverfield, but Abrams was quick to shut down that rumor. He made it clear that Overlord is its own thing, and after seeing it I can honestly say that this J.J. Abrams-produced Nazi zombie gore-fest is actually a ton of fun!
Directed by Julius Avery, this film opens on the eve of D-Day, just before the Allies landed on the beaches of Normandy. We're introduced to a motley crew of soldiers who, within the first five minutes of the film, must parachute out of their plane or die in a blaze of bullets and bombs. Our main character is Private Boyce, played by Jovan Adepo, who you may recognize from the Oscar-nominated film Fences. He's caring, loving, and gentle as can be – something his fellow soldiers berate him for since he, literally, couldn't even kill a mouse. He and four other paratroopers must then set out to accomplish their original mission -- take out a radio-jamming tower in a Nazi-occupied French village.
As they make their way through the dark and shrouded woods, they run into a young French woman named Chloe, played FANTASTICALLY by Mathilde Ollivier, who leads them into the French village where the tower is located. They hide in her house and learn from Chloe that German soldiers have been randomly taking certain townspeople into the tower and, if they somehow make it back, they're not exactly… themselves. Case in point is Chloe's aunt, a woman that we only hear wheezing from the other side of her partially closed bedroom door. When Boyce finally gets a peek inside her room, we quickly learn that it seems there's something even more sinister going on with the people being taken to that tower.
As Private Boyce accidentally finds a way into the tower, we see the horrific things being conducted inside by an undeniably insane Nazi doctor. This is where the movie branches away from its WWII war story and immerses you into a full-on gruesome monster movie. The tough and tenacious Corporal Ford, played with an insane amount of heart by Wyatt Russell, discovers that the Nazi's believe in order to have a thousand-year Reich, you need a thousand-year army, and so our soldiers have a new mission on their hands. From here on out, the movie straps you in for a wild and gory fright fest that's executed in a fashion perfectly suited for a Bad Robot production.
In the end, this movie tosses exposition out the window in exchange for incredible effects and some solid frights. It's successful in showing the horrors of war, while also keeping you entertained with its gruesome visuals. It's not fantastic, but it'll satisfy that B-movie craving for some good ol' fashioned zombie fightin'.


I had a new top made to suit my OLED.
You could have ordered only the small part around the LCD to fit the OLED.
My SLR always seems to make everything look so much nicer than it is.
What other DIY synths do you have ?
Two working preens and a 3rd one in progress (I ordered 1 PCB and got a freebie). I'm going to give one to a musician friend.
Three Shruthis, 1 x Programmer with Polivoks and SMR4, 1 x 4 Pole Mission, 1 x Digital FX board. I have a CEM board and one with SSM which I've given to a friend.
1 x Ambika with 3 voice cards, another 3 voicecard PCBs on the way.
I started to build the Midibox-FM and have a working one, just no buttons or LEDs. Lost interest in building that lol.
Do you think it would be interesting to control the SMR4 filter from the PreenFM ?
That shouldn't be complicated, excect maybe to convert the 3.3V to 5V.
Or modifying the SMR4 to deal with 0V-3.3V PWM.
Could be handy. But any FM synthesis purist would say you don't filter FM sounds but to hell with them.
An internal filter would be great! Though, I'm already doing this externally with the Shruthi through the ECCs.
Also, the Shruthi filter boards each contain a VCA, so you would need to control that too... or set it wide open.
@6581punk: That's why that would be the only synth to propose that.
@funkyfli : I understand now why you aked for the ECC .
The Yamaha FS1R had filtering, it was a sort of format/FM synth.
I meant FM / real analog filtering.
TK has a CEM filters on his MBFM and it sounds pretty darn good!
True, but I imagine the FS1R has a lot of tricks. Yamaha continued where they had left off with FM.
The whole analog/digital argument probably is less important with FM as there's never been any mass market analog FM of any complexity.
The FS1R is a good 12-14 years old now and was never that popular, it was just too hard to edit with the front panel.

/ 'Novel, amazing, innovative': positive words on the rise in science papers
'Novel, amazing, innovative': positive words on the rise in science papers
December 14, 2015 This article courtesy of Nature News.
Analysis suggests an increasing tendency to exaggerate and polarize results.
Scientists have become more upbeat in describing their research, an analysis of papers in the PubMed database suggests.
Researchers at the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands say that the frequency of positive-sounding words such as 'novel', 'amazing', 'innovative' and 'unprecedented' has increased almost nine-fold in the titles and abstracts of papers published between 1974 and 2014. There has also been a smaller — yet still statistically significant — rise in the frequency of negative words, such as 'disappointing' and 'pessimistic'.
Psychiatrist Christiaan Vinkers and his colleagues searched papers on PubMed for 25 'positive' words and 25 'negative' words (which the authors selected by manually analysing papers and consulting thesaurus listings). The number of papers containing any of the positive words in their title or abstract rose from an average of 2% in 1974–80 to 17.5% in 2014. Use of the 25 negative words rose from 1.3% to 2.4% over the same period, according to the study, published in the British Medical Journal on 14 December.
The change seems to be a trend particular to research papers, the authors say: an analysis of the same words in published books (using the Google Books Ngram viewer) showed little change. Nor did the researchers see significant changes in how often research papers used a list of 'neutral' words, and another list of 100 randomly chosen common nouns and adjectives.
Rising hype
The most obvious interpretation of the results is that they reflect an increase in hype and exaggeration, rather than a real improvement in the incidence or quality of discoveries, says Vinkers. The findings "fit our own observations that in order to get published, you need to emphasize what is special and unique about your study," he says. Researchers may be tempted to make their findings stand out from thousands of others — a tendency that might also explain the more modest rise in usage of negative words.
The word 'novel' now appears in more than 7% of PubMed paper titles and abstracts, and the researchers jokingly extrapolate that, on the basis of its past rise, it is set to appear in every paper by the year 2123.
Vinkers' team also broke down the figures according to journal impact factors and the geographical affiliations of the authors. They found that the increase in positive words was smaller in recent years for 20 high-impact journals, compared to the average for all journals. It was also smaller over the past decade or so for authors affiliated in English-speaking countries, relative to authors outside these countries.
Changing vernacular
Computer scientist Peter Sheridan Dodds at the University of Vermont in Burlington, a specialist in text analysis, cautions that the findings are preliminary, because the work is based on just a few handpicked words. "The overall trend may well hold up with a full analysis, but we have to look at how the whole word ecology is changing," he says. It may be that equally positive words were once common in the literature but have fallen out of favour.
But Vinkers and his colleagues think that the trend highlights a problem. "If everything is 'robust' and 'novel'", says Vinkers, then there is no distinction between the qualities of findings. "In that case, words used to describe scientific results are no longer driven by the content but by marketability."
Whether the same trends exist in other disciplines isn't yet clear, but Vinkers thinks that the PubMed corpus might be especially prone to these effects. "We expect that the publication pressure which may underlie these results is particularly present in biomedical, social and psychological sciences", he says.

In my defense, I'm technically writing about Fight Club. So…surely that means I'm safe…right…?
Anyway…yes, this is a Conservative film, in its own way—and like many a Conservative film, it was hilariously branded "fascist". By people who have no idea what that means.
Editor's Note: In April of 2017 writer Eric M. Blake began a series at Western Free Press naming the "Greatest Conservative Films." The introduction explaining the rules and indexing all films included in the series can be found here. Liberty Island will feature cross-posts of select essays from the series with the aim of encouraging discussion at this cross-roads of cinematic art with political ideology. (Click here to see the original essay. Check out the previously cross-posted entries on Jackie Brown, Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Unforgiven, Hail, Caesar!, and Apocalypse Now) If you would like join this dialogue please contact us at submissions [@] libertyislandmag.com.
That's right, folks. The term's attributed to Fight Club—specifically, a scene where Tyler Durden lectures his disciples on how they are not "special".
"There is a kind of new Victorianism. Every generation gets offended by different things but my friends who teach in high school tell me that their students are very easily offended.
Well, I wouldn't hold my breath on that, Chuck.
Now, just to get this out of the way: Tyler Durden is not a Conservative hero. He isn't meant to be. As the above speech indicates, he pretty much identifies the wrong target as the culprit. Well…to be specific, he effectively misbrands an effect as the cause. More on that later.
But the point is, what Tyler—and "Jack" the narrator—see is the effective emasculation of culture. For whatever reason, men have forgotten how to be men…and the entire (initial) point of the Fight Clubs is to remind them—further, to remind them of the value of those Alpha qualities of ambition, strength, and force of will. It's an outlet, for men to exercise their inner muscles of masculinity, amid a society that discourages such.
When "Jack" (so nicknamed by movie fans because of his "I am Jack's…" mantra) takes us back to his pre-Tyler life, we see him as a self-admitted "slave to the IKEA nesting instinct". See, "Jack" has a good-paying office job…but in this feminized culture where classical manhood is dismissed and undervalued, what does he do with that money?
Well…he shops. And shops. And SHOPS.
It's a common stereotype, with more than a little basis in fact, that women love to shop—whether they buy something or not; basically looking to find what fashion is most "me". Decor, knickknacks—what specific brand and style "fits" best, that sort of thing.
And lo and behold…here we have "Jack" obsessed with the exact—same—things.
Welcome to Third-Wave Feminism, where the very notion that men and women are inherently different is smeared as "sexist"—instead of, you know, basic psychology dating back to Freud and Jung, and frankly before…as in, since the beginning of time. Regardless, you see culture en masse marketing to men as though they had the exactphilosophies of shopping as women. All that's missing is the "shoe" thing.
Alas, you do it long enough, and a lot of men end up believing it. After all, what alternative is there?
Capitalism doesn't have to be like this. Actually, true-blue, free-market, "neo-liberal", entrepreneurial-spiritCapitalism encourages precisely those "Alpha" qualities Consumerism dismisses.
This is almost an aside, but: Recently I picked up from my church library a book entitled Why Men Hate Going To Church, by David Murrow. Basically, its argument is: Christianity in America has long allowed itself to become "feminized", emphasizing "sensitivity" and "turn the other cheek" at the expense of bold, aggressive leadership and "do not allow what you consider good to be spoken of as evil"…to the point of terminology and even songs being much "mushier" than they used to be.
Why do I bring this up? Well…the testicular cancer support group where "Jack" meets Bob takes place in a church. And the behavior in that group's almost tailor-made for an object lesson in Murrow's book. The group leader promotes "sensitivity"—men crying about their problems, while they hug.
Mm-hmm. Fortunately, the Church is starting to snap out of this, with organizations like Wingmen—and of course, classic organizations like Promise Keepers. Thank heaven.
And to be perfectly fair, the film also takes a tongue-in-cheek shot at New Age "chakra" insanity.
SO WHAT ABOUT PROJECT MAYHEM?
All right…you might have noticed I've seemingly gone back-and-forth about Tyler Durden's "wisdom" and its value. Are his ideas worth considering, or not?
Well…it really depends. Tyler's more-or-less spot-on about things, earlier in the film. As Fight Club progresses, however, his statements get increasingly…off. Again, he pretty much puts the blame on Consumerism—rather than on the Left, where it belongs.
From Third-Wave Feminism, to gun control, to Welfare State dependency, to just plain Political Correctness—that'swhat destroyed society's value of masculinity. But Tyler doesn't make that connection. One really gets the idea that it all comes out of "Jack's" complete boredom with his tedious, routine, unadventurous, and therefore unfulfilling life, where the holes in his life are "supposed" to be filled by…shopping. "Jack" blames that life, in and of itself, because he doesn't know any better.
And so, in the end, Project Mayhem basically sets out to fulfill the Occupiers' dream: destroy the world's credit system. Meanwhile, we—the audience—are clearly meant to condemn it, as "Jack" realizes just how thoroughly messed up everything has become.
But why did things get so messed up? What brought the perfectly (let's be honest) reasonable idea of Fight Clubs spiraling down into Project Mayhem?
This is where the Alt Right comes in. Remember, the entire reason for the Alt Right's existence as a major force in America links directly to the constant PC and identity politics of the Left. Essentially, it's a lot of the folks most ostracized by a society so terribly corrupted by cultural Leftism…deciding at last to fight fire with fire.
The problem, again, is when you pick the wrong target—"globalist Jews" (as opposed to globalist Gentiles?), "white genocide", "Pizzagate", "Hollywierd", whatever. And then go all out, while the real culprits laugh and deride away.
The switch of Tyler's efforts from "constructive" to "destructive", when you really get down to it, parallels the switch in his philosophy from individualism to collectivism. He starts out as a rugged "free spirit", preaching the need to reject conformity…and to find it within yourself to get off your behind and make something out of your life.
What the detractors of the film failed to understand is that the film does not approve of that. We see the men who'd been helped by the Fight Clubs end up becoming exactly what they'd once fought against: conformist drones, given in to mindless routine.
Just as so many in the Alt Right have become the kind of "micro-aggression"-obsessed Snowflakes they fight against…such is the fate of the Fight Clubbers, becoming what they hated and not ever knowing it.
What is the point of Fight Club? It's at once against the emasculation of Western society and the insane anarchic-yet-paramilitary revolution of Project Mayhem. So what is it for?
Well, in the end, the film is a warning. It's the ultimate cautionary tale against the "chickification" of society—and what just might happen if that corruption finally becomes too much for men to bear.
And lo and behold, that seems to apply to every group except for men—that is, the entire idea of masculinity, so often smeared, mocked, and derided. Men are made to feel guilty over the boogeyman of "patriarchy", and accused of "sexual harassment" for looking at a woman "wrong". Living in fear, constantly apologizing. So much potential gone to waste. And when society denies men the right to be men…despair and desperation set in. And that has consequences.
Fight Club, then, shows a vision of just what would happen if the men "snap", too—in response to all that. At any rate, if society doesn't get its act together, it reaps the consequences. One way or another.
Despite the sadly timeless nature of the film's warning, certain things do date the film. Specifically…remember Tyler's line about there being "no great war" or "great depression", for the men of today to struggle through, to get strong by? Yes, the movie came out a couple of years before 9/11—and nine years before the housing crisis that kicked off the Dodd-Frank-Pelosi-Reid-Obama recession. Lo and behold, Snowflakes still exist—on both sides. Political Correctness flourished amid that war and depression. Seems it's another indication that Tyler's targeting the wrong root causes.
Finally…is it just me, or does Milo Yiannopoulos's hairstyle indicate he's sort-of trying to invoke Tyler Durden? "Sane" Tyler, mind you….
A film that's left such a deep and profound impact on our culture surely counts either as Great, or Monstrous. A case could be made that Fight Club is both. It's a classic, regardless.
At any rate, to this very day you see real-life "fight clubs"—thankfully, ones that don't fall prey to real-life Project Mayhems.
That we know about, anyway….
And of course, "Snowflake" has just reentered the popular mindset, courtesy of the Trump era.
Brad Pitt in one of his most iconic roles—slick, sly, and wily as ever as Tyler Durden. Edward Norton brings full force to "Jack's" deadpan, snarky disenchantment with everything around him. Their mutual dry wit conveys some excellent "buddy" chemistry, especially when Tyler and "Jack" share a snicker over a Gucci ad with buff male models. One wishes Brad and Ed would do a lot more films, together.
Helena Bonham-Carter is at her quintessentially-Goth best, even without Tim Burton's vision. Marla is the irritating presence that for "Jack" embodies everything emasculating about his life—and Tyler knowing just how to "handle" her just rubs it all in, beautifully. As time goes on, we see she does have a sympathetic side. In the end, she's not really that bad. She's just suffering from the same sort of disenchantment as "Jack" and Tyler…and copes with it in her own, admittedly twisted way.
Let's face it—the quotability of the film speaks to just how appealing the scenario is, at least initially. Rather like a good gangster flick, the seduction of "the life" is completely understandable. Of course, then things go dark, and the appeal falls apart. Slowly but surely, the "cool" gives way to weirdness as the "space monkeys" come in…and the weirdness gives way to dread with Project Mayhem. Slick comedy becomes dark comedy becomes psychological thriller. And we're on for the ride, like "Jack" is.
After re-watching it, this week, I felt roughly the same way I do whenever I watch Goodfellas. The first two-thirds of the film are wildly entertaining and enjoyable. (A good "cutoff" point is Tyler's "You are not your job" speech to the camera.) The last third is where you "pay for it", and almost feel like you need a shower afterwards.
But that's the point. What goes around comes around. Drag the audience in with the style…and then pull the rug out, to shock them into thinking hard about it.
As a major fan of Quentin Tarantino (as you remember from last week), I do get a kick out of "puzzle" films. And Fight Club is one of the most famous of all—its legendary twist right up there with The Usual Suspects, The Sixth Sense, and Memento. It makes us question nearly everything we've seen so far, as we discover that Tyler Durden is "Jack's" alternate personality, seen only by "Jack" himself. As far as the Fight Clubbers—and Marla—are concerned, "Jack" is Tyler Durden.
Now the key quality separating a good "twist" film from a bad one is: its "re-watch value". Watching the film again, with the knowledge of the twist in mind…does the film still hold up, and make sense? And better yet, are there "clues" we can spot, post-"spoil"?
Yes, there are. There's a lot of foreshadowing—so much, you may kick yourself for not noticing, before.
Look sharp, and you'll see something quickly flicker on the screen a few times before "Jack" meets Tyler. Freeze-frame…and lo and behold, it is Tyler. In hindsight, you get the idea that it's Tyler starting to form in "Jack's" mind….
For another classic, pay attention to exactly what "Jack says, the first time we get a clear sight of Tyler, passing him by in an airport. And of course, Marla's behavior around "Jack" makes a lot more sense once you learn what's going on….
Some trivia notes: There's a lot of ad-libbing in the "bar" scene, where Tyler gives the classic "duvet" speech. Apparently, Fincher had them do 38 takes, and edited it all together. Pretty cool, huh?
Also, that notorious "grade school" line came about because originally Marla was supposed to make an abortion joke. Yes. See, the studio told David Fincher to change that, and he did…on condition that the line would then stay as it was. Oh, and…Helena Bonham-Carter had no idea exactly what the line meant, until later. British school-system terminology's somewhat different….
Jared Leto—yes, the current Joker—plays the blond guy who "Jack" nearly fights to the death. And rock star Meat Loaf plays Bob.
Apparently "Jack's" real name is Neal, if his office name tag early on is anything to go by. If it isn't, you can pretty much get the idea that his name is Tyler Durden, and everyone knows it but him.
And no…gasoline and orange juice concentrate do not make napalm. So far as I know. Don't try it. Please.

The U.S. government has charged a Russian national with playing a key financial role in a Kremlin-backed plan to conduct "information warfare" against the United States, including to influence next month's congressional elections.
Woman worked for companies accused of waging 'information warfare' against U.S.
The U.S. government on Friday charged a Russian national with playing a key financial role in a Kremlin-backed plan to conduct "information warfare" against the United States, including to influence next month's congressional elections.
The criminal complaint charging Elena Alekseevna Khusyaynova, 44, with conspiracy to interfere with the U.S. political system was unsealed in Alexandria, Va.
The complaint said Khusyaynova was the chief accountant for Project Lakhta, which it said was funded by Russian oligarch Evgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin and two companies he controls, Concord Management and Consulting LLC and Concord Catering.
Using social media and other avenues, the participants waged "information warfare against the United States," attempting to sow distrust of candidates for U.S. political office and the U.S. political system, according to the complaint.
Concord Management and Concord Catering were among the three entities and 13 Russian individuals who were indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller's office in February in an alleged criminal and espionage conspiracy to tamper with the U.S. presidential race, boost Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, and disparage his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.
Prigozhin, who was among those personally charged by Mueller, has been dubbed "Putin's cook" by Russian media because his catering business has organized banquets for Russian President Vladimir Putin and other senior political figures. He has been hit with sanctions by the U.S. government.
In July, Mueller's office also indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers who were accused of hacking Democratic computer networks as part of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.


What more can go wrong with Wellington's Checkmate gay sauna? As reported here last year, due to earthquake damage, the sauna will be closed until March. Maybe the publicity surrounding their closure cause it to be targeted. Because their sauna website got hacked by a group trying to shine a spotlight on the violence against civilians in the Middle East..
Claiming that Syrian president Bashar Hafez al-Assad's forces are "killing women and children" the group, which calls itself 'Cyber Ps,' says in material appearing on the Checkmate site that are "just sending a message without hurting your website." Although there is a reference to being "Syrian and Brazilian hackers" it isn't know with any certainty where the group is based. The material has been appearing for several days.
Manager of Checkmate Sauna Joe George told GayNZ.com he is "fully aware of the hacking" and waiting "with bated breath" back from the police on how to move forward.
Fortunately with a crack webmaster the sauna was able to get its website back up and running. Regardless of the hacking George says the show will go on. And the plans to re-open in March will still go ahead.


Welcome to the "Top 10 Tax Season Success Tips", a series of ten blog posts and videos I've created to give you the keys to a successful tax season.
Now that April 15th is almost upon us and the tax season will soon be winding down, I encourage you to meet with your key staff members right after tax season to assess what worked well this year and what didn't.
Keep this in mind: Your staff members are the folks on the front lines experiencing things in a way you couldn't even know about unless you asked. They're the ones hearing the praise and the complaints from clients, and stumbling through any flaws in your system.
That's why, for your firm's optimal success, I suggest setting up a meeting with your key staff members right away, while this tax season is still fresh in everyone's mind.
Still shying away from the idea? Listen, nobody enjoys hearing what went wrong. But the meeting I'm talking about is a brainstorming meeting, not a criticizing meeting. The goal of a brainstorming meeting is to generate exciting ideas and come up with productive solutions.
If that reminder isn't enough to make you feel more comfortable, following are some tips for running the best tax season debriefing meeting possible.
• What went really well?
• What are the things that helped you just get by?
• What are the things that need improvement?
I suggest setting aside two hours for the meeting.
Open the meeting by expressing your gratitude. It reminds everyone that you're a team and creates an environment of respect and goodwill. Then remind everyone that this is a brainstorming session, intended to keep the firm successful and growing in the right direction.
A great way to generate momentum is to start with a strength and what went right. As problems present themselves, stay focused and steer the group toward proposing solutions. Rather than placing blame or getting defensive, the goal is to come up with improvements. Use inclusive language like "we", and build on ideas. And remember -- even bad ideas can spark good ones.
A wise practitioner recognizes that their employees are full of valuable knowledge and will seek their input. I can't stress enough what a wonderful force this meeting can be for you. Not only does it get your staff involved and committed to the firm's overall success, but it can result in some really cool ideas and fast improvements. What a great way to put a meaningful bookend on tax season, reenergizing your team for tomorrow's workday!
Next up in The Tax Season Top Ten, a fond farewell to tax season via video.

Petra was lost for hundreds of years and rediscovered in 1812. The site was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985 when it was described as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage." The temples and caves of Petra with its huge white rocks forming the gate and the narrow entrance which towers over 21m high rest up on the slope of Mount Hor. It is only possible to reach Petra on horseback and you should pass through the main gate called Bab Asiq. At the end of the Siq, Petra's most marvelous gravestone, the Treasury, appears it is the Pharaoh's treasure. The rock caves were still recently inhabited by Bedouins. Most of this unique city was built by the Nabatean Arabs in the fifth and sixth centuries BC. The Romans carved out a huge theater. Its true value lies in its ancient civilization; Petra had a population of over 30000 inhabitants. It is all craved in its rocky nature; the Nabataeans carved their temples and tombs into the pale yellow to dark brown rock. A variety of hotels offer accommodation for a memorable visit. On July 7, 2007, Petra was named one of New Open World Corporation's New Seven Wonders of the World. So no matter how much we describe Petra and its supremacy, a true visit will show its worthiness to the naked eye and thus you'll believe it's a miraculous place with astonishing history that will last forever in your mind.
Description of the tour:
We begin from the pick-up in the morning and arrive to the Arava Border. After ending all border-formalities we will drive up to the "Desert Highway" and then to the "Rose Red City" - Petra. We will enter the ancient city through the famous "Siq" - a narrow natural gorge that made the secret entrance to Petra. At once the valley of Petra will open in front of us, and we will see the famous "Khazane" ("Treasury"). We will visit the most famous monuments, carved in the red Sandstone and eat lunch (included) nearby, before we will return to our bus. After a short city-tour in Aqaba (the neighbour city of Eilat) we will reach the Arava Border and return to Eilat.

Christopher Pederson takes new role at PolyOne
AVON LAKE, Ohio—PolyOne recently appointed Christopher Pederson as senior vice president of its specialty engineered materials unit.
He replaces Michael Garratt, who had led SEM on an interim basis since the departure of Craig Nikrant in April. Garratt now will resume his prior position as chief commercial officer for PolyOne.
The SEM unit posted sales of just over $624 million in 2017.
Pederson has more than 25 years of experience in engineered materials, including stints at Boeing and Cytec. Most recently, he served as vice president of strategy for Hexcel Corp. In those roles, PolyOne officials said that Pederson "has leveraged both his highly technical expertise and (profit-and-loss) business leadership to great success."
In an email, Pederson said he welcomes his new role as an opportunity to build on and grow PolyOne's capabilities to serve customers.
"What's exciting about our full engineered materials portfolio is its breadth and strength in helping customers overcome their challenges with the polymer or composite solution that makes the most sense, regardless of its chemistry," Pederson said. "Couple this with our design, service and color offerings, and I believe we'll continue to exceed customer expectations in both the short and long term."
In a news release, Patterson said that engineered materials "remain at the core of our specialty portfolio and key technology platforms for growth in the future."
In 2017, SEM was the smallest of PolyOne's four operating units, generating 18 percent of total sales. Its product mix includes high-performance compounds based on engineering resins and thermoplastic elastomers.
Paderson's appoint is one of two made recently by the Avon Lake-based company. The firm also named Walter Ripple to the newly created position of vice president of sustainability.
PolyOne is North America's largest compounder and concentrates maker and one of the region's largest resin distributors, according to Plastics News data. It posted full-year sales of $3.2 billion in 2017.

Le syndrome de Potocki–Lupski, également connu comme le syndrome dup(17)p11.2p11.2, trisomie 17p11.2 ou syndrome de duplication 17p11.2, est un syndrome de gènes contigus impliquant la duplication de la bande 11.2 sur le bras court du chromosome 17 (17p11.2). Cette duplication a été décrite pour la première fois dans une étude de cas en 1996. En l'an 2000, la première étude de la maladie a été publiée, et en 2007, suffisamment de patients ont pu être réunis pour produire une étude complète et lui donner une description clinique détaillée. L'affection est nommée d'après deux chercheurs impliqués dans les dernières phases, les docteurs Lorraine Potocki et  du Baylor College of Medicine.

Caractéristiques

Cliniquement, le syndrome présente des caractéristiques similaires au syndrome de Smith-Magenis, mais toutefois distinctes, ce qui peut le faire confondre avec ce dernier. Les deux syndromes se caractérisent par des anomalies congénitales multiples et un retard mental. Dans 80 % des cas on constate un trouble du spectre autistique. D'autres aspects distinctifs incluent une hypotonie musculaire infantile, de l'apnée du sommeil, des anomalies cardiovasculaires, des troubles de l'apprentissage, un déficit d'attention, des troubles obsessionnels compulsifs, une malocclusion dentaire et un retard de croissance staturo-pondérale.

Q: Remove overlaping tuple ranges from list leaving only the longest range For a given list of range-tuples, I need to remove overlapping rage tuples while leaving the longest range for those that overlap or if same length keep both.
eg
input = [ [(1, 7), (2, 3),  (7, 8), (9, 20)], [(4, 7), (2, 3),  (7, 10)], [(1, 7), (2, 3),  (7, 8)]]

expected_output = [ [(1,7), (9,20)], [(4,7), (2, 3), (7,10)], [(1,7)] ]

so only the longest overlapping range-tuple should not be removed.
def overlap(x:tuple, y:tuple) -> bool:
    return  bool(len( range(max(x[0],y[0]), min(x[1], y[1])+1  ) ))

def drop_overlaps(tuples: list):

    def other_tuples(elems: list, t: tuple)-> list:
        return [e for e in elems if e != t]

    return [ t for t in tuples if not any( overlap(t, other_tuple)
                                            for other_tuple in other_tuples(tuples, t))  ]

How do I remove the overlaps and keep the longest of them and those that are non-overlapping?

A: You can sort the tuple based on the first key, Then compare using your overlap function and check the difference and add the values to result based on the difference. If the difference is equal add  value to result list otherwise replace last element in result with max value.
def drop(lst):
    sorted_lst = sorted(lst, key=lambda x: x[0])
    diff = lambda x: abs(x[0]-x[1])
    res = [sorted_lst[0]]
    for x in sorted_lst[1:]:
        if overlap(res[-1], x):
            if diff(res[-1]) == diff(x):
                res.append(x)
            else:
                res[-1] = max(res[-1], x, key=diff)
        else:
            res.append(x)
    return res

Bárbaro Rivas (4 de diciembre de 1893 - 12 de marzo de 1967) fue un pintor, considerado «ingenuo», nacido en Petare, Venezuela.

Biografía
Fue un niño expósito entregado para su crianza a un matrimonio, del que recibió los principios y la práctica de la fe católica..

En 1949 el crítico Francisco Da Antonio identificó sus primeras obras, presentadas luego por primera vez en una colectiva, junto a las de otros pintores «ingenuos» en la exposición «Siete Pintores Primitivos y Espontáneos de Petare» (Bar Sorpresa) en 1954.

En 1956 fue revelada su obra en una exposición individual celebrada en el Museo de Bellas Artes de Caracas.

En 1957 sus trabajos fueron incluidos en el colectivo enviado a la Bienal de Sâo Paulo en representación de Venezuela. Allí recibió una «Mención Honorífica» adjudicada a título de artista ingenuo. Obtuvo el Premio Arístides Rojas del Salón Oficial de Arte Venezolano en dos oportunidades, en 1956 y en 1960. En ese mismo concurso, en 1963, ganó el «Premio Federico Brandt». En 1967 representó a Venezuela en la exposición «Ingenuos Actuales de América», efectuada en el Museo de Arte Moderno de Madrid.

Su trabajo artístico ha sido comparado con los imagineros coloniales, a causa del profundo sentimiento religioso de su obra, un vestigio sin duda inculcado por la familia que se encargó de su crianza. No queda duda que su semblanza humilde evidencia que la tipología de sus personajes y el ambiente de su peculiar obra están tomados de Petare, donde siempre vivió.

Su peculiar e intuitivo uso de los colores vivos, empleados por zonas definidas por contornos sinuosos o lineales; figuras y objetos superpuestos, sin guardar escala entre sí; reiterado simbolismo del paisaje, con dentadas montañas cuyos dramáticos arabescos contrastan con cielos grises, llenos de ángeles torpes, nubes y aves.

Por ende, su valor como creador radica principalmente en su inconfundible estilo de formas, temas, colorido, líneas y composición, valiéndose sólo de la pura intuición y en perfecta sintonía con la ingenua autenticidad de su espíritu inocente y visionario.

Uno de los homenajes que se le rinde es través de la Bienal de Arte Popular "Bárbaro Rivas"
