View Full Version : motorhead soundtrack?
this might be a hard request. anyone remember that old racing game, motorhead ([Only registered and activated users can see links])? i'm desperately looking for the soundtrack. if you can share it, or maybe point me to a place where i can get it, i'd be really thankful. thanks in advance!
this is the sort of thing that's impossible to find without a tracklist.
WOW! I want this album as well!!!
If you put the game disk in a regular CD player, you could play all 11 tracks. I loved the techno theme the songs had.
It doesn't have an actual track listing, but if anyone has the game they can easily rip the music like any regular music CD.

Q: On iOS, why is 100 "points" a different size on different devices? It was my understanding that if you specified a size of 100 points in iOS, that it should be interpreted as "100 density independent pixels", such that it would take up the same amount of physical space on the screen, independent of the device.
So if 2 devices had the same pixel density, each mapping 1 point to 2 pixels, 100 points would take up 200 pixels on those devices and they would appear to be the same physical size. If Device_B has 2x the pixel density of Device_A (and device A is 1:1 pixel:point) then 100 points would take up 100 pixels on Device_A, and 200 pixels on Device_B which would consume the same physical screen real-estate. Am I missing something?
I tested a UILabel of size 100x30 on an iPhone 6 and an iPad Air 2, and they definitely don't take up the same physical size on the screens - the 100x30 label on the iPhone 6 screen looks to be about 2/3 the same physical size compared to the iPad.
Here is the very simple test code
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];

    UILabel *testLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 20, 100, 30)];
    testLabel.text = @"Test Label";
    testLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];

    [self.view addSubview:testLabel];
}

I've attached an image of the 2 physical devices rendering the same label (iPad left, iPhone on right).

A: Ppi is pixel per inch where pixel means physical device pixels.
iOS screen scale factors 1x, 2x, 3x means only relation between physical pixels and screen points (density independent pixels). What even not 100% correct for iPhone6&7 plus where screen points rendered in x3 scale pixels and then this is downsampled with factor 1,15 to real screen pixels.
iPad Air 2 ppi = 264
iPhone 6 ppi =   326
Both have scale factor 2x. So label with size 100x30 will have size 200x60 in physical pixels on each of devices.
And
200/264 x 60/264 = 0,76 X 0,23 inches on iPad
200/326 x 60/326 = 0,61 X 0,18 inches on iPhone6

It's difficult to earn the trust of potential customers, and to make them believe in your company's ideology. To accomplish such a challenge, your logo needs to be recognizable. And it needs to tell a story.
Nowadays, businesses have a wide range of opportunities for promoting their brands. Thanks to the progress of modern technology, we have the internet, smart phones, laptops, big screens, and small screens of countless types. This incredible diversity of platforms requires a special approach to your logo, because it will appear in many different sizes and formats. Keep this in mind when designing your logo.


Yesterday, I walked across the big stage at the Husky Stadium to collect my diploma holder. Today, I'm frantically packing for a 19 day trip to Vietnam and Thailand. As much as I am thrilled to go on this trip, I am overwhelmed. I feel as though so many major life changing, milestone events have happened and I haven't had the opportunity to fully immerse in or enjoy them because they are all happening simultaneously. Likewise, it feels like this trip of a lifetime is approaching too soon, and I haven't had time to mentally prepare for it. Perhaps my excitement will kick in the moment I step on the plane.

I study comparative politics, with a regional focus on Eastern Europe and Eurasia. My research interests include questions related to education, propaganda, repression and resistance in authoritarian regimes. Since May 2022, I have been working on the Russia Watcher project with Grigore Pop-Eleches and Jacob Tucker. We conduct daily public opinion surveys in Russia to study public opinion regarding the war in Ukraine. See our website and Twitter page. In other ongoing projects, I am studying the politics of exiles and emigres, both in the case of Russians who fled after the February 24 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and more broadly. Finally, I am doing exploratory work with archival data on the Soviet mass literacy campaign in Moldova and mass repressive policies carried out in territories annexed by the Soviet Union through the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.
I completed an MPhil in Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge in 2021. My dissertation focused on international aid in Belarus and Ukraine. My project compared how differing political conditions in Belarus and Ukraine affected the provision of international aid to victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. A summary of my findings was published on the website of Harvard University's Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies.
I earned my BA in Government and MA in Regional Studies: Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia at Harvard University in 2020. My thesis focused on Soviet-Cuban educational exchange programs. I spent one month in Moscow and two months in Havana collecting hundreds of Soviet archival documents and conducting over 60 semi-structured interviews diplomats and graduates of Soviet universities. The thesis, titled "From the 'Island of Freedom' to the Iron Curtain: Rethinking the Role of Soft Power in Soviet-Cuban Educational Exchange Programs," was awarded a summa grade and won several prizes, including the Hoopes Prize and the Hammond Prize for the best undergraduate thesis related to Spanish-speaking Latin America. An article that explores some of my findings from a historical perspective is forthcoming in a special edition of Cahiers du monde russe.
In another research project, I used qualitative interviews and archival documents to analyze Cuba's reaction to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. I presented preliminary findings at the Taras Shevchenko Conference at Indiana University in March 2020 and the virtual convention of the Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy (ASCE) in August 2020. The paper won a graduate award at the ASCE convention.

Q: Duplicating an html element that passes id parameters in a function I have jquery function that pass Id parameters in the MarkUp. And it works fine,  when I clone the function it returns the same Id's. I'd like it to return different id's... how do I go about to have different id parameters?
thats the function:
    var generateMarkup = function(statusid, emailid) {
        return '

' +
            '<input type="checkbox" name="wfEmailStatus' + ($('#workflowModalTabStatus' + statusid + "_" + emailid).length + 1) + 'Conditional" class="typ3 paleText" id="wfEmailStatus' + ($('#workflowModalTabStatus' + statusid + "_" + emailid).length + 1) + 'Conditional" value="Y" disabled="disabled" />' +
            ' Delivery Conditional On Field   ' +
            '<input type="text" name="wfEmailStatus' + ($('#workflowModalTabStatus' + statusid + "_" + emailid).length + 1) + 'ConditionalFields" class="typ1 shad2 paleText" id="wfEmailStatus' + ($('#workflowModalTabStatus' + statusid + "_" + emailid).length + 1) + 'ConditionalFields" ' +
            'value="" disabled="disabled" style="width:310px" />' +
            '<input value = "Remove Field" type="button" class="smallbutt3" id="workflowEmailDeliveryStatus' + ($('#workflowModalTabStatus' + statusid + "_" + emailid).length + 1) + 'Remove" style="float:middle" disabled="disabled"></button>

';
    };

And that is my click event:
 $('.smallbutt2').click(function() {
            $parent = $(this).parent();
            $rows =$parent.find('.divAddId');
            var $newItem = $(generateMarkup(statusid, emailid));
            $last = $rows.last();
            $newItem.insertAfter($last);
            var $break = $("
");
            var $button = $newItem.find('.smallbutt3').first();

            $button.click(function() {
                $newItem.hide();
                $newItem.remove();
                $break.remove();
            });
            $button.fadeIn();
        });

A: var statusid = 1; // Initialize statusid

$('.smallbutt2').click(function() {
            $parent = $(this).parent();
            $rows =$parent.find('.divAddId');
            var $newItem = $(generateMarkup(statusid, emailid));
            statusid++; // Increment it after generating a new item
            $last = $rows.last();
            $newItem.insertAfter($last);
            var $break = $("
");
            var $button = $newItem.find('.smallbutt3').first();

            $button.click(function() {
                $newItem.hide();
                $newItem.remove();
                $break.remove();
            });
            $button.fadeIn();
        });

Q: FHIR: Is there a way to search for Active Practitioners at an Organisation? I can search for active PractitionerRole resources that match a certain organisation by doing this:
/PractitionerRole?active=true&organization.identifier=ORG123

What I'd like to get back is just the related Practioner resources for this query
If I try something like:
/Practitioner?_has:PractitionerRole:practitioner:organization.identifier=ORG123&_has:PractitionerRole:practitioner:active=true

This does not return what I want as it (correctly) processes the organization + active check separately.
The nearest I can get to at the moment is to add an _include to the first query above. E.g.
/PractitionerRole?active=true&organization.identifier=ORG123&_include=PractitionerRole:practitioner

but this obviously returns PractionerRole (mode=match) resources in addition to the included Practitioner (mode=include) resources, and so additional client side processing will be required to discard the unwanted PractitionerRole resources
Is there a way to do what I am trying to do?
For the record, my target FHIR implementation is a VONK 3.9.1.0 server

A: You'd have to use _filter (which few systems support)

Q: Jqgrid sort column Is it possible to dynamically sort one column of a jqGrid when clicking a button instead of clicking in the column name?

A: In the button click event set the sort column in the grids postdata and then call a reload on the grid
$('#mybutton').click(function() {
    $('#yourgrid').jqGrid('setGridParam', {sortname: 'yourColumn', sortorder: 'asc'}).trigger('reloadGrid', [{page: 1}]);
});

A: The fourth time even luckier!.
Using true in the third parameter will reload the grid for sure.
$('#grid').jqGrid('sortGrid', 'id', true, 'asc');

If you don't use true in the third parameter, in the first execution, the order ('asc' or 'desc') is not updated correctly.

A: A possible solution - but not pretty:
$('#grid').jqGrid('setGridParam', {sortname: 'id', sortorder: 'asc'}).trigger('reloadGrid', [{page: 1}]);
$('#gbox_grid .s-ico').css('display','none');
$('#gbox_grid #jqgh_grid_id .s-ico').css('display','');
$('#gbox_grid #jqgh_grid_id .s-ico .ui-icon-triangle-1-s').removeClass('ui-state-disabled');

as shown here
http://jsfiddle.net/qhYLT/

Another way to sort by a column programatically - specifying the order:
$('#grid').jqGrid('setGridParam', {sortorder: 'desc'});
$('#grid').jqGrid('sortGrid', 'id');

The sortGrid fires off a reload for you.  It wouldn't be complete without a demo : http://jsfiddle.net/uTqD5/

Third time lucky!  An undocumented feature:
$('#grid').jqGrid('sortGrid', 'id', '', 'asc');

Shantanu Moitra - Music Director and Composer
November 23, 2020 Datta DVIO
In Conversation with Manjima Chatterjee, Head, Arts programme - Shiv Nadar School, Noida
The spirit of exploration and discovery is strong in Shantanu Moitra. In everything he's done, the engagement with the fabric of the world is his inspiration. It's not about winning or losing, failing or making it…for this music composer, singer, traveller, and author, life's about adventure. The Shiv Nadar Foundation's institutions foster curiosity and make learning a truly explorative process, so this was music to our ears during the Conversations chat on FB live.
From a confused boy living in Delhi to a career in advertising where he literally fell into music because he composed a jingle for an internal project, Shantanu has had a rollercoaster of a life – and he doesn't want to get off it! He says he never knows what he's going to be doing after the next two years, and he keeps needing to try new things, add masala to his life and improvise. Being a late starter, (he entered a recording studio for the first time when he was 26 years old) he's had to pick up learnings quickly.
He was obviously successful at that, as his first album was Ab Ke Sawan with Shubha Mudgal, an experiment fusing classical, rock and folk, and was a smash hit. Dreams of his face being emblazoned on billboards drew closer when he landed up in Mumbai and got his first film, Hazaaron Khwahishain Aisi. But it was when he did the music for the film Parineeta with his mentor Pradeep Sarkar that he reached the dizzying heights of fame and acclaim that he deserved.
Many films followed including the iconic 3 Idiots, and the story goes that on one of his trips, Shantanu been to Ladakh and suggested it to Rajkumar Hirani as a location for some of the scenes of the film, especially the Pangong Tso Lake where the last scene is shot. He was also the person to bring in the concept of 'al iz well' which is a pahadi or mountain-people idea that you have to 'cheat your heart' and then what you wish will come true. The mountains were in his blood.
At the peak of his career, Shantanu, true to form, decided to give it all up and spend a hundred days in the Himalayas, travelling with the amazing nature photographer Dhritiman Chatterji. They started with Ladakh, and covered Lahaul-Spiti, Uttarakhand, northern West Bengal, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh. 'It was a huge risk,' says Shantanu, 'but it changed my entire life and perspective.' Besides the adventure of climbing and the curiosity of seeing new places, Shantanu learned so much more.
One story he tells is of waking up one freezing morning in Ladakh and coming upon some Changpa people. One woman was sitting very still with her child. Around her were several carcasses of sheep. On enquiring, he learned that a snow leopard had carried away one of her sheep and mauled the rest. He realised this was a huge financial loss for her. When he asked her how she was feeling (through a translator), she said something that astounded him. She said, talking about the leopard, 'We are the guests, they own the world.' This is when Shantanu realized how much he was going to learn from the Himalayas, and what humans needed to survive was this ability to co-exist with nature.
The other learnings from this incredible journey were about thinking out of the box; of travelling on soul journeys where you can interact with people and open up your senses to the world around you, of exploring the quality of stillness that one encounters in the mountains and much more.
For young people, Shantanu has some great advice. He loves the saying, 'If you reach for the stars you may not get one, but you will not come back with a handful of dust either.' He suggests an openness of mind and thinking. This is in line with what we at the Shiv Nadar Foundation truly believe too! To the teachers from Shiv Nadar Foundation schools and colleges listening in, he says, 'Don't stop them from falling- give them the skill sets to get up when they do fall.'

VIRGINIA FUND NAMES GRANT, CLEARY TO POSTS
The $17 billion Virginia Retirement System hired Charles W. Grant as its first in-house global bond manager and Michael T. Cleary as an investment officer in charge of alternative investments, said Bill Sullivan, spokesman.
This brings the pension fund's investment staff to 19, leaving one opening for a financial analyst.
Mr. Grant will start July 1. He was senior vice president and portfolio manager at Commonwealth Investment Counsel, where his duties have been assumed by Michael Jones, another portfolio manager.
Mr. Cleary replaces John McLaren, who left the system last year to start his own firm. Mr. Cleary was assistant controller at the Virginia system. But because the finance department is undergoing a reorganization, he may not be replaced.
T. Daniel Coggin, joined Mobius Group, Research Triangle Park, N.C., as director-research, a new position. The former director of research for the Virginia Retirement System most recently was director-research at Media General Financial Services.
Richard E. Dahlberg joined Salomon Brothers Asset Management, New York, as a director to head the U.S. equities group. He takes over duties previously handled by Chairman Robert Salomon.
Mr. Dahlberg had been portfolio manager at Massachusetts Financial Services, Boston, where he headed the team responsible for the $4 billion MFS Total Return fund and its related annuities. He has been replaced by Mark Shaughnessy, portfolio manager of the MFS Utilities fund, and David Calabro, manager of institutional large-cap equity accounts with MFS Asset Management Inc. They will both retain their previous assignments as well.
Gregory Hazlett was named to the new position of director of research at Investment Counseling Inc. He will be responsible for the firm's database of investment managers. Mr. Hazlett had been manager of investment research at Cambridge Associates, where he hasn't been replaced yet.
The board of trustees of the $3.4 billion Maine State Retirement System, Augusta, re-elected Chairman David Wakelin and Vice Chairman John Kimball to one-year terms starting July 1. Mr. Wakelin, a pension attorney, is a gubernatorial appointee; Mr. Kimball represents teachers on the board.
CDC Investment Management Co., New York, hired Steve Butters to work with synthetic GICs and structured products and Seth Wohlberg to work in active fixed income, said John Prom, executive vice president.
Both were hired as senior vice presidents. The positions are new at CDC, an independent investment management subsidiary of the Caisse des Depots et Consignations, Paris.
Mr. Butters previously was a vice president for Bankers Trust, New York; Mr. Wohlberg was a managing director/portfolio manager for Bear Stearns Asset Management, New York. Mr. Butters' duties will be assumed by BT staff, while Mr. Wohlberg hasn't been replaced, according to a Bear Stearns spokeswoman.
John H. Dolan was named head of mortgage securities at Bankers Trust Global Investment Management, New York, a new position. He will participate in investment management trading and product development. He was a managing director in the mortgage department at Salomon Brothers, where he has not been replaced.
New York-based Scudder, Stevens & Clark restructured the management of the Capital Growth Fund. Kathleen Millard, a principal of the firm, was named lead portfolio manager; Steven Aronoff, the former lead portfolio manager, will stay with the management team, along with portfolio manager Julia Cox. William Gadsen, another portfolio manager, will leave the fund and focus on managing Scudder's AARP Capital Growth Fund; he is the lead portfolio manager.
According to Edmond Villani, Scudder's chief investment officer, the change was made because officials expect Ms. Millard's "value-oriented investment style will benefit" the fund.
Also, Robert A. Benish took a newly created position of vice president and manager of Scudder Defined Contribution Services' Education Programs. He had been vice president and market manager at Putnam Investments. A Putnam spokeswoman said his replacement is being sought now.
Mr. Benish's new job will give him oversight and expansion responsibility for Scudder's DC employee education programs.
Patricof & Co. Ventures Inc., New York, promoted Salem D. Shuchman and Gregory M. Case to partners in the APA Excelsior IV private equity fund. The two had been vice presidents. The fund closed in February with $265 million in commitments from investors including the pension fund of AT&T Corp., the California Public Employees' Retirement System and the Pew Charitable Trust.

Trump's Agriculture Chief Tosses Out Michelle Obama's School Lunch Rules
10:15AM EDT 5/2/2017	 Rachel del Guidice/The Daily Signal
Sec. Sonny Perdue eats lunch with schoolchildren. (Sonny Perdue/Twitter)
Former first lady Michelle Obama's dictates on school lunches were thrown out Monday by one of President Donald Trump's Cabinet members.
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue signed a proclamation to begin to undo federal standards that the Obama administration placed on lunches in public schools and return those decisions to local schools.
"This announcement is the result of years of feedback from students, schools, and food service experts about the challenges they are facing in meeting the final regulations for school meals," Perdue said in prepared remarks. "If kids aren't eating the food, and it's ending up in the trash, they aren't getting any nutrition—thus undermining the intent of the program."
The announcement "begins the process of restoring local control of guidelines on whole grains, sodium and milk," a press release from the Agriculture Department reads.
The standards, implemented in 2012, were crafted with the heavy involvement of Michelle Obama, who made better nutrition and more exercise for children part of her agenda as first lady. The standards include directives on vastly reducing use of salt, calorie limits, restrictions on meat, prohibitions on the contents of vending machines and increased servings of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, as the New York Post reported.
The standards implemented provisions of a law called the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. President Barack Obama's wife also championed the law, Daren Bakst, a research fellow in agricultural policy at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal in an email.
The 2010 law set calorie limits, stipulated portion sizes and required specific nutrients.
"Michelle [Obama] is a big proponent and defender of the standards," Bakst said.
Perdue, the former governor of Georgia, said in a tweet that the rules have been counterproductive:
Perdue "took an important step to making school meals edible again," Bakst told The Daily Signal. "The federal school meal standards implemented by the Obama administration have been a disaster, creating massive plate waste and imposing high costs on schools."
Perdue's action, Bakst said, is significant for both parents and kids.
"This issue isn't about nutrition," Bakst said Monday, adding:
It's about whether one believes the federal government should dictate almost every aspect of what kids eat at schools, or if local communities, with the input of parents, should make these decisions. Today was certainly a big win for kids across the country, but it was also a big win for those who respect the opinions of parents more than those of federal bureaucrats.
Patricia Montague, CEO of the School Nutrition Association, a national nonprofit with more than 57,000 members that provides meals to students across the nation, praised Perdue's leadership.
"I commend Secretary Perdue for taking this important step," Montague said. "We have been wanting flexibility so that schools can serve meals that are both nutritious and palatable. We don't want kids wasting their meals by throwing them away. Some of our schools are actually using that food waste as compost. That shouldn't be happening."

Gourmet Vegan with Solo Bass
Chef and host Philip Gelb (left) introduces Rashaan Carter
Friday August 17th was one of the last of Mr. Gelb's famed Masumoto peach dinners incorporating the incredible peak of the harvest peaches into his magical vegan creations. It is ostensibly among the last of his famed dinner concert series which has now run about 13 years. Whether the series is ending remains to be seen but the opportunity to partake of Gelb's culinary art should never be missed and this night we had the opportunity to hear a fine young musician as well.
Phil started me with this tasty IPA, perhaps the only item that was not peach related.
Dinner for about twenty happy diners began with this delicious corn soup. Gelb has an eye for artistic presentation.
A little peach based salsa added a bit of fire for those of us who enjoy spicy things.
And on to the Baiganee (eggplant fritters) with peach kuchela and peach chutney.
The main course was Jerk Stewed Tempeh, Rice, and Peas Calaloo. Unfortunately my eating got a bit ahead of my picture taking but you get the idea.
Peaches are, as I said earlier, from the Masumoto family farm near Fresno where three generations have been producing some of the finest fruit in the state. The tempeh is also locally sourced from Rhizocali Tempeh of Oakland. It doesn't get better than this.
The tradition here puts the musician on stage just before dessert. Rashaan Carter is an American musician from Washington D.C. who now resides in New York. He was passing through the bay area and Philip Gelb extended an invitation which he graciously accepted.
He began with an improvisation which he had initially done for a dance piece depicting the lynching of a black American woman Laura Nelson and her son in Oklahoma in 1911. Now this could really bring down the mood of the evening but for the fact that Carter spoke of and subsequently played this piece with such passion that all one could really feel is the tragedy of the act and the heroic expression of what is essentially protest music dedicated to her memory.
Rashaan has no small bit of the Blarney. His running commentary during the performance was as entertaining as that of a stand up comic as he engaged most thoughtfully with the evening's clearly appreciative audience.
He graced us with what he said was originally intended to be a performance of a Charlie Haden piece but decided he wanted to do his own piece as a sort of homage. Indeed he captured Haden's spirit oh so well in another virtuosic and passionate performance.
He ended with another sort of tribute, this time to Henry Threadgill. Again his gift of gab provided just the right segue into the next piece and his familiarity with Threadgill was immediately apparent. His facility with the acoustic bass produced nearly vocal sounding lines in a performance that did honor to Threadgill and left the evening's audience very pleased.
We concluded with Blueberry polenta cake with peach ice cream and blueberry raspberry sauce, all vegan, all absolutely delicious.
And we will all keep an ear out for Rashaan Carter from this point on. Bravo!

Linda Twine, A Musician You Should Know
Linda Twine
I have found it strange that the few articles I have written (and, full disclosure, I'm a white guy) on black musicians seem to have placed me in the position of being one of apparently a limited number of writers/bloggers who pay attention to the topic. Happily these articles have gained an audience. The rather simple piece I wrote on black conductors, a little essay composed in honor of Black History Month, remains by far one of my most read articles.
The vicissitudes of race and racism are such that we need to say, "black lives matter" because even the most cursory examination of statistics shows that they seem to matter far less than lives with other racial identities. The same is true with music and musicians.. There are organizations dedicated to the promotion of black musicians because they remain far less well represented.
It is in this spirit that I am writing this little sketch to highlight a black musician who does not have a Wikipedia page or even a personal web page that I have been able to find. You can find her easily with a Google search but you will find some of the same segregation of which I spoke. One finds her on the "Broadway Black" website which does a fine job of promoting her and her work. And what fine work it is.
To be fair she is also on the "Internet Broadway Database", "Playbill", the "Internet Movie Database", and one can find her most recent work listed on the "Broadway World" site. Her cantata, "Changed My Name" can be found on You Tube. And it is there where, curiously enough, one can find the most comprehensive information on her. I present it here:
From the Muskogee Phoenix, 11/10/2007, we have this information about Linda Twine:
Twine, a native of Muskogee, OK, graduated from Oklahoma City University in 1966, with a bachelor of arts degree in music. There, she studied piano with the esteemed Dr. Clarence Burg and Professor Nancy Apgar. After graduating from OCU, Twine studied at the Manhattan School of Music in New York, where she earned a master's degree, and made New York her home. She began her musical career in New York, teaching music in public school by day and accompanying classical and jazz artists at night. At one of these engagements, she was asked if she would like to substitute for the keyboardist of the Tony Award winning Broadway hit, "The Wiz." Her positive response began a long career in Broadway musicals from keyboard substitute to assistant conductor of Broadway orchestras. In 1981, to conductor when Lena Horne asked her to conduct her one-woman hit, "Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music." This garnered Twine the respect of her peers and as a much sought-after Broadway musical conductor. In addition to "The Wiz" and "Lena Horne," Twine's Broadway credits include, "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Big River" (the score composed by Oklahoman Roger Miller), "Jelly's Last Jam," "Frog and Toad," "Caroline or Change," "Purlie," and the current "The Color Purple," starring Fantasia. Not only a distinguished conductor, Twine is also a composer and arranger. She composed "Changed My Name," a cantata inspired by slave women Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman, and written for two actresses, four soloists, and a chorus. Her popular spiritual arrangements are published by Hinshaw. As a producer, instrumental and vocal arranger, her work can be seen and heard in the books and CDs of the Silver Burdett Publishing company, which are used by many public schools in the United States. Community commitment and involvement have also marked Twine's outstanding career. She has arranged and composed for the renowned Boys Choir of Harlem, and she served for 14 years as minister of music for St. James Presbyterian Church of New York. Among her many awards and honors is the "Personal Best Award for Achievement and the Pursuit of Excellence," for her role as a writer and arranger for the Boys Choir of Harlem, her artistic achievements in the world of Musical Theatre, and her concern for humanity. Twine, a proud Oklahoman, is the granddaughter of William Henry Twine, a pioneer lawyer who made a homestead claim in the 1891 Sac and Fox Run, and along with G.W.F. Sawner and E.I. Saddler established the first black law partnership in Oklahoma Territory.
So here, in honor of Black History Month, I wish to present this fine musician whose art deserves the world's attention. Take note please.

C'mon, There's at Least Twenty Saints in There: A fine new recording of the Virgil Thomson opera, Four Saints in Three Acts
BMOP/sound 1049
This recording is a fine example why I have come to love the work of Gil Rose and his Boston Modern Orchestra Project. The scope of his musical choices ranges from intelligently selected new music projects by living composers and a fabulous survey of music by older composers that he considers worthy of attention again (and sometimes for the first time). All BMOP recordings (even those on other labels) are consistently of the highest quality and the performances are definitive. This series now on the orchestra's own label is rapidly becoming a sort of canon defining modern music, or at least one vital vision of it.
There appear to be only two other recordings of this masterwork. The first is a cobbled together mono version released on RCA with the composer conducting most of it and Leopold Stokowski conducting some numbers in this abridged performance. The second is the very fine 1981 version by the Orchestra of Our Time under the able direction of Joel Thome.
The differences between these recordings is far less important than the fact that we now have three versions of this American operatic masterpiece for our listening enjoyment. The BMOP recording is up to their usual high standards with wonderful sound and fine interpretation and musicianship.
This 1934 opera premiered in Hartford, Connecticut and then opened on Broadway (yes, in New York) with an all black cast and ran for a record 48 performances. Black music pioneer Eva Jessye conducted her choir and the production was directed by a young John Houseman who had just begun to turn his talents to the theater.
The libretto is by Gertrude Stein who later collaborated with Thomson on The Mother of Us All. Her word play is more about sound than grammar (or mathematics for that matter). It is in four acts and features more than four saints. The music is classic Americana with the essences of folk musics and spirituals.
This is a gorgeous and fun piece which deserves to be in the canon of great American operas. Want to make America great and celebrate Black History Month? Then grab this recording and sit back for a wonderful listening experience.

The Anniversary That (almost) Everyone Missed: Bill Doggett (1916-1996), Wizard of the Hammond Organ
Bill Doggett with his combo (getty images)
William Ballard Doggett, better known as Bill Doggett was born in Philadelphia in 1916 and was introduced to music by his church pianist mother. He played in a combo while still in high school and went on to work with a plethora of stars in rock, jazz, rhythm and blues amassing a string of hits but, sadly, seems to have barely been noticed on this the 100th anniversary of his birth. Where is NPR at a time like this?
Well, all is not lost. Fortunately his nephew and namesake Bill Doggett is doing justice to the memory of this important American musician. This younger Doggett is an archivist, lecturer, curator, strategic marketer, photographer, filmmaker, and arts advocate (his website is well worth your time). I am hardly as well prepared to provide more than an overview of this musician's work but I feel obliged to do my small part in recognizing this man's work.

Doggett's best known work.
While his last chart hit was 1961 his collaborations with Lucky Millinder, Frank Fairfax, Jimmy Mundy, the Ink Spots, Louis Jordan, Johnny Otis, Wynonie Harris, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Red Holloway, Clifford Scott, Percy France, David "Bubba" Brooks, Clifford Davis, and Floyd "Candy" Johnson; guitarists Floyd Smith, Billy Butler, Sam Lackey and Pete Mayes; and singers Edwin Starr, Toni Williams and Betty Saint-Clair attest to the scope of his work. Doggett continued to play and arrange until his death from a heart attack in New York in 1996 at the age of 80.

The Hammond Organ is known for being the workhorse of modern classical as well as rock, rhythm and blues and jazz. It was Bill Doggett who became one of the early masters of this (then new) electronic instrument. While he was also a highly competent pianist, it was with the Hammond Organ that he had his greatest success. There is little doubt that his playing has influenced subsequent musicians who took on this instrument.
Here's hoping that astute musicians and producers will take on the task of recognizing the work of the late great Bill Doggett. Toward that end here, from Wikipedia, is a discography of his work:

During October 5th to 11th 2015 Oxford Archaeology East, local community volunteers, and members of Operation Nightingale excavated the remains of Spitfire Mk Ia X4593 'Kerala' near Holme Fen, Cambridgeshire.
Spitfire X4593 crashed on the 22nd November 1940, on a routine training flight and Pilot Officer Harold E Penketh was killed. The official MoD records note that a recovery team excavated down to the aircraft in the week following the crash and recovered the remains of Pilot Officer Penketh. Evidence for this subsequent excavation and recovery of Pilot Officer Penketh was found, along with an RAF mess plate believed to have been left on the site by the recovery team as a marker.
Remains of the Spitfire, including the engine block and parts of the cockpit were found in-situ at a depth of -6.27m OD, along with other parts of the airframe (including .303 ammunition) that were within the area excavated during the recovery operation.
Mark 1a Spitfire, including the engine block and parts of the cockpit were found insitu at a depth of -6.27m OD, along with other parts of the airframe (including ammunition) that were within the area excavated during the recovery operation.
Sadly some remains of Pilot Officer Harold Penketh, that were not recovered in 1940 were discovered, along with some of his personal effects including a cigarette case (engraved with his initials) and his watch.
The remains of the aircraft were transferred to the Pathfinder Museum at RAF Wyton for conservation and display.

Deaths in Iraq May Have Links to Ft. Lauderdale Airport Shootings
January 15, 2017 /in Military News, Veteran News
Could a sense of loss and grief have been at the root of the recent airport shooting in Ft. Lauderdale?
On Jan. 2, 2011, Jose Cintron Rosado and Jose Delgado Arroyo, members of the Puerto Rican Army National Guard, were in a lead vehicle near Taji, Iraq, that was locating and disarming roadside bombs.
The two were best friends, as well as father figures to the younger soldiers who were members of the 1013th Engineering Company, 103rd Battalion, out of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.
When Rosado and Arroyo were killed in a roadside blast, their deaths hit the tight-knit unit hard.
Among those in the unit was Esteban Santiago, who has been charged with killing five people during the shooting at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
The shooting came almost six years to the day after their deaths.
Santiago, who was born in New Jersey but raised in Peñuelas, Puerto Rico, flew to South Florida on a one-way ticket from Alaska.
Investigators have been trying to piece together the path that led the 26-year-old former National Guardsman to Fort Lauderdale.
For Bryan Santiago, his brother's military service led to serious mental-health problems that coincided with his return from the war.
"You could just sense that he'd changed," said Santiago, who still lives in Peñuelas.
He added that he didn't know whether his brother knew Rosado or Arroyo, but he said his sibling, who was once "calm and humorous" suddenly becoming bitter and withdrawn.
Esteban Santiago's tour ended in April 2011, and he remained in the National Guard Reserves until February 2014.
Santiago then moved to Alaska and joined the Alaskan National Guard.
Bryan Santiago said the last time he talked to his brother was on Christmas Day. He gave no indication he would snap 12 days later.
"We were just wishing each other Merry Christmas," his brother said. "He was completely normal, but people with mental problems can seem completely normal, too."

50 Dead, 53 Hospitalized In Orlando Shooting
By Dina Temple-Raston,
Eyder Peralta, Linda Wertheimer
Published June 12, 2016 at 11:24 AM EDT
Police in Orlando Florida say 50 people were killed when a gunman began shooting in a popular nightclub. When he took hostages, that's when the SWAT team went in. The gunman was killed, but not before perpetrating the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
Eyder Peralta is here with us today. So Eyder, could you just take us back to the events that took place early this morning? What do we know?
EYDER PERALTA, BYLINE: Yes. So we know it started at about 2 a.m. in the morning at Pulse, which is a gay nightclub just outside downtown Orlando. Police traded fire with the suspect. One officer was injured, but not seriously. And then it turned into a hostage situation. At 5 a.m., police moved in. They traded more fire. They killed the suspect and rescued 30 people. Orlando Police Chief John Mina said this was the worst scene some of his veteran officers have seen. Here he was at the press conference.
(SOUNDBITE OF PRESS CONFERENCE)
JOHN MINA: It's absolutely terrible. I mean, 50 victims in one location, one shooting. It's absolutely one of the worst tragedies we've seen.
PERALTA: So police say that, at this point, what they're focused on is identifying the bodies, which they say can take a while and then notifying families.
WERTHEIMER: As far as I can tell, they haven't begun to move bodies out of that scene. So they must be still investigating on-site at the nightclub. But now, what do we know about the person who did the shooting?
PERALTA: Yeah, so law enforcement officials are not releasing his name publicly. But officials tell NPR that his name is Omar Mateen. And according to public records, he's 29-years-old. He lives - or he lived in Port St. Lucie. And records also show that he had a firearms license and he received a security officer license in 2011 and 2013.
WERTHEIMER: Which indicates that whatever safeguards there may be about who can have those kinds of licenses were not sufficient in this case.
PERALTA: Right. We don't know. I mean, we don't know what kind of gun license he had. What we know is that police found one assault-style rifle and a handgun. We don't know if both of those were bought legally. We know he had a handgun license.
WERTHEIMER: Do we know anything about why he did it?
PERALTA: We don't have anything concrete. Earlier today, Sheriff Jerry Demings said that from what he had seen, this should be classified as a, quote, "domestic terror incident." But officials at this past press conference said they're still waiting to release Mateen's names officially and that they're exploring all theories. But I think the big news here is really worth repeating. It's 50 people are confirmed dead, by police. And another 53 were taken to area hospitals.
WERTHEIMER: And we may find that some of them don't recover from their wounds. This, then, is the worst mass shooting in U.S. history?
PERALTA: Yeah, it is. Imam Muhammad Musri, who spoke at the press conference - he's the president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida - made reference to that grim statistic during the press conference.
MUHAMMAD MUSRI: I think, as a nation, we need to look at this issue of mass shootings because we just had one too many today.
PERALTA: So just to put in context, Linda, in Virginia Tech, 33 people were killed in 2007. And 28 people were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School - most of them were children - in 2012.
WERTHEIMER: And this takes that - takes it way past both of those...
PERALTA: That's right.
WERTHEIMER: ...Horrible events. That was NPR's Eyder Peralta reporting on the nightclub shooting that has left 50 people dead and as many injured. We'll bring you more information as we have it. Eyder, thank you.
PERALTA: Thank you, Linda. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The newly installed software might have interrupted the functionality of other existing software's or the printer that was working fine may have abruptly stopped functioning. All these problems generally arise due to conflict with one another. Hence, in that aspect, it is vital to be cautious and ensure new software's are installed correctly to avoid any such conflicts.
When new software's are not installed properly it often leads to conflict with other existing software's. This may not only result in error reports, but some of the old software's may stop working altogether as a result.

Many a time people install software that is very outdated. This is one of the main sources of errors especially if the user is not very computer proficient. One way to avoid these kinds of installation errors is to go to the site of the desired program and check for new versions or latest updates.

Q: Convert SQL statement to Hibernate Criteria or Projections I'd like to convert this SQL Statement into either Criteria or Projections. I'm sorry I don't know which one to use since I'm new to Hibernate. I've done some research, and it looks like both are needed to achieve what I wanted.
Before I always use SQL Statements in my programs but when I saw a sample code which allows you to create queries without writing SQL Statements by using Criteria, I wanted to use it since it gives me cleaner code.
Thanks in advance.
String query = "SELECT MAX(employeeNo) "
    + "FROM Profile "
    + "WHERE SUBSTRING(employeeNo,1,2)='" + yy + "'";

empNo = session.createQuery(query).list().get(0).toString();

This query gets the highest employee number in the database for a given year yy.
Sample result would be 14-229

A: This is assuming that you've already defined a mapping for Profile entity.
Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
String empNo = (String) session
     .createCriteria(Profile.class)
     .add(Restrictions.sqlRestriction("substring(employeeNo,1,2) = ?", yy, StringType.INSTANCE)
     .setProjection(Projections.max("employeeNo"))
     .uniqueResult();

Now, this I don't know if I'd agree with your statement that this is cleaner.  The nice thing about using Criteria is the allow you to build a criteria dynamically, but it's very verbose, and it isn't clear exactly what you are trying to do at first glance. Plus, because of the substring function, forces you to mix in a sqlRestriction.  Instead, you could use HQL:
Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
String empNo = (String) session.createQuery("SELECT MAX(employeeNo) FROM Profile WHERE substring(employeeNo,1,2) = :year")
     .setString("year", yy)
     .uniqueResult();

Personally, I think the HQL or even SQL approach is a little cleaner, and expresses intent better.

Coriolan este o tragedie scrisă de William Shakespeare între 1605 și 1608, inspirată din viața lui Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, un general roman care a trăit în secolul al V-lea î.Hr..

Personaje

Rezumat

Acțiunea tragediei debutează la Roma la scurt timp după expulzarea regilor  Tarquin, prezentând revoltele  populare împotriva generalului Caius Martius, care ordonase confiscarea rezervelor de grâne de la cetățenii Romei. Protestatarii întâlnesc un  patrician numit Menenius Agripa, precum și pe Caius Martius însuși. Menenius încearcă să calmeze protestatarii, în timp ce Martius este disprețuitor și spune că plebeii nu au fost vrednici de cereale, din cauza lipsei lor la serviciul militar.  Doi dintre tribunii Romei, Brutus și Sicinius, denunță atitudinea lui Martius. Acesta părăsește Roma după ce află că o armată Volsciană este pe teren.

Comandantul armatei Volsciane, Tullus Aufidius, s-a luptat cu Martius în mai multe rânduri și îl consideră un inamic sângeros. Armata Romană este condusă de Cominius, avându-l pe Martius ca adjunct. În timp ce Cominius iși conduce soldații împotriva lui Aufidius, Martius conduce un atac împotriva orașului Volscian Corioles. Asediul Corioles este initiat fără succes, dar Martius reușește până la urmă să deschidă porțile orașului și romanii îl cuceresc. Chiar daca Martius este epuizat de luptă, el mărșăluiește în forță să se alăture lui Cominius în lupta cu armata Volsciană. Martius și Aufidius se întâlnesc în luptă singuri, iar lupta dintre ei se încheie numai atunci când soldații lui Aufidius își retrag comandantul din luptă.

În semn de recunoaștere a marelui său curaj, Cominius îi conferă lui Caius Martius numele de familie "Coriolanus". Când se vor întoarce la Roma, mama lui Coriolanus, Volumnia, își încurajează fiul să candideze pentru funcția de consul. Coriolanus ezită să facă acest lucru, dar până la urmă se supune dorinței mamei sale.  El câștigă fără efort sprijinul Senatului Roman și pare la prima vedere a câștiga și sprijinul cetățenilor simpli. Cu toate acestea, Brutus și Sicinius plănuiesc să anuleze candidatura lui Coriolanus și organizează o revoltă. Confruntat cu această opoziție, Coriolanus într-un moment de furie tună și fulgeră împotriva conceptului de democrație. El compară permiterea plebei de a avea putere asupra patricienilor, cu a lăsa "ciorile să ciugulească vulturii".  Cei doi tribuni îl acuză pe Coriolanus de trădare și ordonă să fie alungat.  Coriolanus raspunde că el este cel care vrea sa plece.

După ce a fost exilat din Roma, Coriolanus îl caută pe Aufidius în capitala Volsciană Antium și se oferă să se lase omorât de Aufidius, în scopul de a se răzbuna pe țara care l-a alungat. Mișcat de situație și onorat să lupte alături de marele general, Aufidius și superiorii săi îl îmbrățișează pe Coriolanus și îi permit să conducă un nou asalt asupra Romei.

Roma, în panică, încearcă cu disperare să-l convingă pe Coriolanus să oprească cruciada lui de răzbunare, dar atât Cominius cât și Menenius dau greș. În cele din urmă, Volumnia este trimis să se întâlnească cu fiul ei, împreună cu Virgilia Coriolanus și copilul lor, insoțiți de o doamnă Valeria Casta. Volumnia reușește în descurajarea fiul ei de a distruge Roma, și Coriolanus încheie în schimb, un tratat de pace între Volsciani și romani. Când Coriolanus se întoarce în capitala Volsciană, conspiratori organizați de Aufidius îl omoară pentru trădarea lui.

Sursă

Coriolanus se bazează în mare parte pe "Viața lui Coriolanus", așa cum este descrisă de Thomas de Nord în "traducerea lui din Plutarh a  Nobili greci și romani (1579). Formularea discursului lui Menenius despre corpul politic este derivată din William Camden's Remains (1605).

Alte surse au fost sugerate, dar sunt mai puțin sigure. Shakespeare putea să folosească opera Ab Urbe condita a lui Titus Livius în traducerea lui Philemon Holland și, eventual, rezumatul din Livius al lui Lucius Annaeus Florus; ambele erau utilizate în mod obișnuit în școlile elisabetane. Comentariile lui Machiavelli ale scrierii lui Titus Livius erau disponibile în traduceri manuscrise, și ar putea să fi fost folosite de Shakespeare.
