Q: Get body of function in JavaScript i am trying to get the body of a function in JavaScript but am unable to do so. Let's say I wanted to see the function body of the native toUpperCase() function of the String object:
document.write(String.prototype.toUpperCase.toString());
// returns function toUpperCase() { [native code] }

I tried this in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, all return the same thing. How do I access what that [native code] contents is?
* update *
The reason I stumbled onto this question, is because I was trying to do the following:
If I have two functions, one of which I want to invoke on the other, I want to access the first function's return value in the second, so that I can do function1().function2(). For example:
// create a global function that returns a value
function returnValue() {
   x = "john";
   return x;
}

// create a function that converts that value to uppercase
   function makeUpperCase(){
   return this.toUpperCase();
   // "this" obviously doesn't work, but "this" is where I wanted to
   // access the return value of a function I'm invoking makeUpperCase() on.
}

So I wanted to see how a function like toUpperCase() accesses the return value of a function it is invoked on.

A: You can add a function to String.prototype, then you can "chain" your function calls.
String.prototype.makeUpperCase = function(){
  // 'this' is the string that 'makeUpperCase' was called on
  return this.toUpperCase();
};

var y = returnValue().makeUpperCase();

Chaining works by having the functions be part of the object, String.prototype in this case.  So, when you return that object (a string), you can call another function on it ("chaining").

Retrievers Fall Short Against East Carolina on Saturday
Baltimore, Md.—UMBC fell to East Carolina on Saturday, as the men were defeated 154-145 and the women 188-112. The Retrievers and Pirates took it all the way to the wire, as the men squeaked by with the last relay of the day.

Alissa Caulfied picked up a stellar come-from-behind victory in the 200 free. She was behind for most of the race, but pulled ahead in the final stretch, to out-touch ECU's Bailie Monahan with a time of 1:55.58. Caulfield also picked up a second place finish before the first break, finishing the 50 free in a time of 24.82.
Catherine Frediani and Emily Escobedo both earned second place finishes in the 100 back and 100 breast respectively. Frediani finished with a time of 59.44, while Emily touched the wall in 1:04.08.
Escobedo opened things up after the break with a win in the 200 breast. Emily touched the wall in 2:17.58. Stephanie Romano followed that up with a slim win in the 500 free. Romano just out-touched Chew from ECU with a time of 5:06.30.
On the boards, Coco Darelius took first place in the 1 meter dive with a score of 261.15.
On the men's side, their 200 medley team of Nikola Trajkovic, Leo Endres, Philip Adejmo and Lauri Kaei finished in second with a time of 1:34.37.
Andrew McKissick and Gregor Sporlein took gold in the 200 fly and 50 free. McKissick won the fly in a time of 1:55.29, while Sporlein won the sprint in 21.46. McKissick earned a second place finish in the 1000 free with a time of 9:44.15. Sporlein was just out-touched in the 200 free by seven tenths of a second.
Sporlein got UMBC going after the break with a win in the 100 free. Gregor touched the wall in 46.48. Freshman Miles Ruttan helped the Retriever cause, placing second in the 200 back with a time of 1:52.83.

France no longer EU's 'worst' for international students: report
10:30 CEST+02:00
French universities have reason to be happy having beaten the Netherlands to third spot. Photo: AFP
France may have moved up to third place on the scoreboard but for the second year running Germany ranks as the best country for international students, Study EU reports.
Germany continues to be the favourite among international students at EU universities, thanks largely to its offer being mostly tuition-free and world-class.
This is according to a report by Study.EU, a Hamburg-based company that connects students from around the world with European universities.
Higher learning institutions from thirty European countries were ranked using three main criteria for their classification: Education, Cost, and Life & Career.
According to Study EU, the UK moved up to second place as it is "unbeatable for Education and Life & Career", but didn't make top spot because of its "prohibitively high" tuition fees and cost of living.
French universities have reason to be happy having beaten the Netherlands to third spot, and in light of similar studies from previous years that put L'Hexagone rock bottom for international student satisfaction, even more so.
The primary reasons for foreign students in France being previously regarded as Europe's unhappiest were the high cost of living, lack of student dorms, general disorganization and the absence of courses in English.
But Study.EU puts France in third spot for its "highly reputed, yet affordable higher education system". According to their findings, France is the 11th cheapest country for an international student, just behind Latvia.
The report does stress however that even within the same country, the cost of living and education can vary enormously. Compare completing an MBA while living in central Paris with sitting history at Grenoble Alpes University, for example.
In terms of quality of education, France is ranked fourth behind the Netherlands.
French universities miss out on the top ten when it comes to the Life & Career category, which uses data on English proficiency among the population, the UN World Happiness Index, unemployment for the tertiary educated and personal safety for this ranking.
Study.EU's report highlights also how Brexit continues to be a concern among educators and students in the UK and those planning to move there soon.
"Compared to last year, there has been a noticeable increase of programmes offered in English," Study,EU's CEO Bruno Blöss explained.
"Universities on the continent are preparing for Brexit. They expect European students to seek alternatives to the UK in the coming years."
This is despite the fact that the EU and the UK have in theory agreed that students should keep equal rights in both domains for the initial post-Brexit phase.

View from China: Stakeholder Capitalism
In an era of unchecked growth, China's CFOs could use a lesson in stakeholder capitalism.
CFO MagazineGlobal BusinessStrategy
Wu Chen
Karan Bhatia, the deputy U.S. trade representative, urged China in late January to become a "responsible stakeholder" in its trading relationships with the United States. Here in Shanghai, her remarks created a frenzy as people strove in vain to find a translation for the word stakeholder. That's because in China, the concept of a company's responsibility to society, beyond what is owed investors, is absent.
The current Chinese administration frequently offers up slogans about "creating a harmonious society" or "attaining sustainable growth" to enhance social welfare and conquer pollution. But enterprises have turned a deaf ear. Gone are the days of lifetime employment. Workers now take care of their own medical care, education bills, and rising housing expenses. While lip service is paid to corporate social responsibility on environmental issues, the reality is that pollution in China is at a crisis level yet companies seem unconcerned.
When a PetroChina chemical plant in northern China exploded in December, huge amounts of toxic waste poured into the Songhua River, forcing the shutdown of the water supply in Harbin, a major city downstream. Neither the government nor the local plant told the public about the danger for more than 10 days. Within the city, panic spread while taps went dry for 4 days.
"We're willing to shoulder all the responsibility in order to control the damage at whatever cost," PetroChina CFO Wang Guoliang told CFO China a month after the disaster. But, he added with a shrug, "how can you be sure that there is no problem somewhere?" emphasizing the difficulty of managing a corporation of more than half a million people.
His response might seem flippant to U.S. readers, but it reflects a not-unrealistic assessment of the challenges. State-owned companies — including PetroChina, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange and boasts Warren Buffett as a shareholder — remain largely a hodgepodge of semi-independent provincial corporations. Local governments and local interests intertwine to create a wedge against central control. In many cases, top management doesn't get the information it needs to quickly address environmental damage or other problems.
Most Chinese companies are still struggling to enforce more internal controls to protect shareholder value. It is high time for them to address the needs of other stakeholders, such as communities that suffer via environmental mishaps or unchecked pollution. Soon enough, a disaster could emerge that will cause even the most growth-hungry China investors to vote with their feet.

Is a latte a macchiato coffee?
How much milk is in a macchiato?
Do lattes or macchiatos have more caffeine?
It is distinctly different from a cafe latte because in a latte macchiato, espresso is added to milk and in a caffe latte, milk is added to espresso. Latte macchiato also has much more foam and only has around a half or even less of the espresso proportion.
Whereas a latte has significantly more milk than espresso, a cappuccino has an equal amount of espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam. If you want a strong coffee, but with the creaminess of milk, get a cappuccino.
A latte (/ˈlɑːteɪ/ or /ˈlæteɪ/) is a coffee drink made with espresso and steamed milk. The term as used in English is a shortened form of the Italian caffè e latte [kafˌfɛ e lˈlatte], caffelatte [kaffeˈlatte] or caffellatte [kaffelˈlatte], which means "milk coffee".
While a tall hot latte is made with one shot of espresso, and a Grande comes with two shots, a Venti does not contain three shots. Ex-barista suggests ordering your Venti iced to guarantee you get three shots of espresso.
A latte is a coffee drink that is normally made with espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam. A cappuccino is very similar, but it has a greater percentage of foamed milk to steamed milk. A macchiato has no steamed milk added to the espresso, but a little cap of milk foam.
So we know that the flat white is an espresso with steamed milk and little foam. … A cappuccino is made with one shot of espresso and served with a thick layer of milk foam. Traditionally, a latte is larger and has a milder coffee to milk ratio.
"Macchiato" is Italian for "marked." In traditional coffee jargon, it refers to an espresso shot marked with foam on top. In Starbucks' Barista-speak, it means foam marked by pouring espresso through it. The Caramel Macchiato is built upside down–the espresso is poured in last, through the foam.
Flat White has an even mix of liquid milk and smooth velvet foam so it feels like drinking an espresso, only yummier. Cappuccino has stiff foam and feels like drinking bubbles with a bed of coffee hidden at the bottom. Latte is milky, has a little foam on the top and feels like drinking a milky coffee.
Cappuccinos are typically served in 6 oz glass or ceramic cups, as opposed to the 1-1.5 oz shot glasses that espresso comes in. They include the base 1-2 shots of espresso along with steamed milk and frothed milk (milk foam). So a cappuccino INCLUDES an espresso.
12 Different Types Of Coffee Explained. Latte, espresso, cappuccino – there are so many different types of coffee it becomes a language itself! That's why this guide will explain the differences between 12 espresso based drinks and how they're made. So no more getting confused at your local café.
The only difference is the location of the milk, foam, and the espresso. In a macchiato (from the bottom), it goes milk, foam, and espresso. If it's a caramel macchiato, vanilla syrup at the bottom before the milk and caramel on top. In a latte, it goes espresso, milk and then foam.
The ratio is generally one part espresso to one part steamed milk to one part foam; you can stir all the layers together, if that's your preference, but too much milk or too much foam will throw off the bitter-to-sweet balance that makes a perfect cappuccino.
Latte – A latte is made by pouring milk into the espresso. … Cappuccino – A cappuccino is in between a macchiato and a latte. It is made by pouring espresso into the coffee cup, which is then filled with steamed milk and foam. If you order a "dry" cappuccino, you will get one with more foam.
Ristretto is traditionally a short shot of espresso coffee made with the normal amount of ground coffee but extracted with about half the amount of water in the same amount of time by using a finer grind. This produces a concentrated shot of coffee per volume. … The French equivalent of ristretto is café serré.
Primarily because of the ingenious use of a handle. Why then do we serve a hot caffe latte in a glass? The glass is almost always served to hot to hold and results in a good 5 minute wait before we can even attempt to raise it for a sip.

Pearson Announces Farmington Municipal School District Upgrades to PowerSchool® - Studio Edition
District upgrades its student information system for reporting, assessment, and content integration
Rancho Cordova, CA (PRWEB) August 2, 2010
Pearson, the global leader in education technology and services, today announced that Farmington Municipal School District (FMS) in Farmington, NM, has chosen to upgrade its current student information system, PowerSchool®, to the new PowerSchool - Studio Edition. This new version of Pearson's market-leading system will allow the district to connect the dots between data, content, and achievement, thus enabling personalized learning and measurable student performance.
In the remote Four Corners region of northwest New Mexico, FMS has approximately 10,000 students and 750 PreK-12 teachers. A PowerSchool customer since 2005, FMS required a system that would be customizable, flexible, and an effective solution to meet the multiple needs of all stakeholders, from students and parents to teachers and administrators. "We did a lot of research and looked at a lot of systems, and we think PowerSchool is best of breed," said Robert Emerson, assistant superintendent for Technology, Assessment, and Accountability at FMS. "There aren't others that allow you the flexibility that we get with PowerSchool. For example, if we need a screen for entering our bilingual student information that matches what we report to the state, we can do that ourselves."
Bringing the benefits of the newest technologies to Farmington students has been the district's goal for many years. Moving to PowerSchool - Studio Edition was a "logical step," Emerson said. "We chose PowerSchool because of the ease of use for parents, teachers, and administrative staff and because it is easy to manage and customize. We are moving to PowerSchool - Studio Edition to take advantage of the integration between PowerSchool and the other tools that Pearson offers for content, reporting, analysis, and assessment management."
Leveraging data from multiple sources such as PowerSchool, assessment systems, and reporting tools, PowerSchool - Studio Edition captures, shares, and reports on a variety of student and assessment information, including student demographics, grades, state tests, standardized tests, and district tests. PowerSchool - Studio Edition allows teachers to assess students to determine their skill levels; teachers use this information to identify content to assign to students for acceleration or remediation of skills. Single sign-on access to all of these features ensures ease of use, adoption, and enthusiasm from end users, which includes teachers, administrators, students, and parents.
"PowerSchool - Studio Edition will make it easier for our users to access information and will provide a single system approach to content and assessment management, all with little work on the back-end since the other systems are seamlessly integrated," Emerson said.
"At Pearson, we built PowerSchool - Studio Edition as a connected learning environment specifically for the K12 market," said Paul Fletcher, president of the School Systems group of Pearson. "The seamless access to student information, content, assessment data, and analytics provides tremendous benefit to districts like FMS. Pearson looks forward to working with FMS and other PowerSchool districts to extend their student information system and meet their evolving needs to drive student achievement."
The extension of PowerSchool - Studio Edition adds value and functionality for FMS. "I've rarely seen a product so well put together," Emerson said.

Leeds United playmaker Pablo Hernandez returns to the side against Swansea City.
Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has made one change for the visit of Swansea City to Elland Road in the Championship on Wednesday evening.
United winger Jack Clarke has been replaced by Pablo Hernandez following the 18-year-old's absence from training this week as he undergoes more tests.
Clarke collapsed in the dug-out during the second half of the 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough at the Riverside on Saturday afternoon having been substituted at half-time.
Kiko Casilla retains his spot in goal with a back four of Luke Ayling, Pontus Jansson, Liam Cooper and Gjanni Alioski.
Kalvin Phillips is selected once more as the deep-lying midfielder with Mateusz Klich and Kemar Roofe deployed as the attacking midfielders behind lone striker Patrick Bamford.
Manchester City loanee Jack Harrison joins Hernandez as one of two wingers in the 4-1-4-1 formation.
Swansea boss Graham Potter had one main injury doubt heading into the fixture in forward Oli McBurnie but the 22-year-old is fit enough only for the bench in three changes for the visitors.
City winger Daniel James is also included in the starting line-up after his deadline day move to West Yorkshire collapsed.
Swansea City XI: Mulder, Naughton, Carter-Vickers, Van Der Hoorn, Grimes, Fulton, Byers, McKay, Roberts, Celina, James. Subs: Nordfeldt, McBurnie, Narsingh, Dyer, Asoro, Baker-Richardson, Harries.


Say hello to the Muddy Award winners. Aren't they gorgeous?
Hmmm, you've reached an older feature - let's get you up to date! Read our latest features here.
The gods were shining on Muddy Stilettos today. I couldn't have hoped for a more beautiful day for my Award Winners photo shoot.
Photographer Paul Wilkinson has the best outdoor space in the county for taking relaxed piccies and the winners were all completely lovely which helped.
Vanilla – best fashion boutique and can't you tell!
The owners of The Treehouse bar were set to work pouring bubbly (hey, it's what they do), the Gyre & Gimble boys cracked jokes and threatened to bring their cafe to Thame (YES PLEASE!). Ant from LASSCO helped serve the drinks, Gorgeous Giggles brought in the star of the show, a cuter-than-cute toddler wearing a pretty dress… Really, *sigh*, it was just lovely.
So here are your winners, with moi shoe-horning myself into the middle of the shot lol! Hartwell House, Turl St Kitchen and The Fishes aren't in these pics due to various last minute crises but we'll catch them another time.
A classic Paul Wilkinson shot. Perfect!
Have an amazing bank holiday weekend and keep an eye out for your daily Muddy posts from Tuesday when I'll be back blogging properly again, telling you about the most brilliant, quirky, creative places and people in Bucks & Oxon.


As you would expect, Michael Bungay Stanier's book The Coaching Habit is all about how to be a more effective coach. Part of becoming a more effective coach involves understanding how the brain works so that you can understand how the people you coach are going to learn and react in certain situations. To help demonstrate the importance of knowing how the brain works, Bungay Stanier references Josh Davis and his colleagues from the NeuroLeeadership Institute and their model known as "AGES". Specifically, Bungay Stanier focuses on the "G" from AGES.
G stands for Generation, and commenting on knowledge generation, Bungay Stanier writes, "Advice is overrated. I can tell you something, and it's got a limited chance of making its way into your brain's hippocampus, the region that encodes memory. If I can ask you a question and you generate the answer yourself, the odds increase substantially." What is important here is understanding that we create memories and generate our knowledge in an active process. Learning and creating knowledge are not passive processes. We don't sit in a sea of information and passively absorb new lessons and knowledge as tides of information wash into our brains. Instead, we hunt down the specific information we need or want (or sometimes we inadvertently pursue it) and emotion and engagement pull the knowledge into our minds.
Quoting the NeuroLeadership Institute, Bungay Stanier writes, "When we take time and effort to generate knowledge and find an answer rather than just reading it, our memory retention is increased." The chance of us remembering something a professor says, or something we hear on TV, or the advice our parents give us is not great when it is just verbally directed toward us. If we truly seek out the information, if the information is presented to us in a way that forces us to be more engaged to get the answer we need, and if we have to truly use the faculties of our mind to find meaning, reason, and truth, then we will have a more powerful connection to the knowledge. We will generate new information in our brain and become more knowledgeable than we would if the information was simply presented to (or at) us.
In his book, The Coaching Habit, Michael Bungay Stanier talks about being busy, and how we sometimes use business as a way to show that we are important, hardworking, and have lots of meaningful things we are tasked with. He argues that being busy is really just a form of laziness stemming from a failure to prioritize the world in a way that makes the important work stand-out and shifts the busy-work to the background. Being busy is really about being over-committed and spread too thin to be effective.
Instead of being busy all the time, we can focus on what matters most and think through the key items that we can work on to make a difference. There are a million things we all could do each day at work, and we usually know, at least enough to make a useful estimate, which items are the most important and which items on our to-do list will make the biggest difference. Indiscriminately trying to do everything creates a sense of overwhelming busyness that we carry with us and complain about throughout the day. It sounds good, like we are ambitiously taking on big important topics or as if we are being asked to complete an unreasonable set of demands by someone higher-up, but often times, it is just us not setting an agenda and working on the things that matter most.
Bungay Stanier writes, "George Bernard Shaw was on to something years ago when one of his maxims for revolutionaries states, "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself." The people who use busyness as a way to look important are really just failing to adapt. Learning to adjust ones schedule, build a routine, and prioritize will help in becoming more effective and getting the key things done. We don't have to run around from project to project trying to adjust things to what we want, instead we can build ourselves and our days in a way that manages the busy work for us and allows us to be effective.
In my last post, I wrote about how the brain handles danger. When we sense danger, we become less creative, more prone to seeing the world as black and white, and we don't engage our conscious brain as thoroughly as we should. Our brains evolved this way in small groups over thousands of years because it helped us survive in a dangerous and unpredictable world. Today, however, technology and society have changed the human experience and the danger we face is no longer the same. But nevertheless, our brain still holds on to its evolved danger response.
As in the last post, I don't want to focus for what this means for ourselves directly. I would rather look at how recognizing this should change the way we with those whom we work with, live with, and encounter on a daily basis. In any given situation that is slightly unfamiliar, we are going to default to danger thinking. By focusing on others and understanding the danger that everyone has evolved to feel when taking new steps and taking risks, we can work to better support them and help create an environment that is less dangerous.
Within companies, our efforts to boost our egos and dominate a space to be the smartest, most capable, and most important member of the organization cause other people to feel danger. We increase the threat that they may feel and as a consequence, people begin backing away and stop thinking creatively. If instead, we focus on the best outcomes for the team and the company, and we try to minimize the danger and risk that other people experience, we can get more conscious and courageous thinking from the people around us, and ultimately we can have a better and more diverse organization that thinks in new and innovate ways. We can still create environments where competition helps push people to be their best and put forward their best ideas, but the space in which they take risks and put themselves forward needs to be safe to allow diverse views and opinions to be discussed and experimented with. Ultimately, we must take some ownership ourselves for the danger responses in other people, we cannot simply criticize another for feeling threatened and backing away. After all, our brains evolved for this to be our default. To be strong leaders and coaches, we must understand how the brain works and reacts to the world, and we must do our part daily to reduce the danger and threat that others feel and that we push out into the world.

327/375 HP
Matching numbers 327/375 HP fuel injected engine
4.56 Positraction rear axle
Frame-off restoration
Satin Silver Paint with Black interior and a new Black Soft top, all correct to the car
Sold new at Warren Briggs Chevrolet in Los Angeles Jan. 22, 1964
Dealer invoice
Photos documenting restoration
Built in December 1963 and sold new at Warren Chevrolet in Los Angeles, California, this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is one of the last of the great mid-year Corvettes fitted with Rochester Ramjet mechanical fuel injection. Introduced in Corvette in 1962 with a rating of 360 HP, by 1964 the 327 CI "Fuelie" small-block V-8's output had leapt to 375 on the strength of revised cylinder heads with larger intake valves (2.02 inches) and exhaust valves (1.60 inches) and a new solid-lifter cam with higher lift and longer duration. Because of the new cam's higher lift, reliefs were machined into the tops of the pistons, resulting in slightly reduced compression. No matter: a Fuelie Corvette was still the Ultimate Weapon, at least until the snarling big-block version came along in its place. The 1964 Corvettes, especially the convertibles, were little changed from 1963, the most obvious differences being the removal of the imitation grilles from the hood, new rocker panel trim and new slotted wheel covers. Inside, the seats were redesigned with thicker back cushions, gauges were black for reduced glare and all steering wheels featured a walnut-grain rim. A well-preserved frame-off restoration, this 1964 Sting Ray convertible is one of only 1,325 1964 Corvettes with the L84 fuel-injected V-8, in this case a matching-numbers powerplant teamed with the Muncie 4-speed manual transmission and 4.56:1 Positraction third member. Now showing a believed original 44,853 miles, it features excellent code-940 Satin Silver Metallic paint with a well-kept black interior and a new black soft top, all correct to the car. Looking purposeful with its 6.70-15 blackwall Firestones and spinner wheel covers, this Corvette was obviously built to emphasize performance, its only optional extra being an AM/FM radio. Excellent documentation includes the dealer invoice, sales contract, receipts and photographs documenting the restoration.


The BBC to axe background music? Less work for composers?
There are few TV programs without background music these days, even the news. But will the BBC respond to demands to reduce background music or even axe it completely?
The British Broadcasting Corporation is biggest broadcaster in the world, in terms of audience numbers.
Even if you don't live in the United Kingdom and have never watched or listened to even a minute of the BBC's output, its influence is felt among all other major broadcasters.
The BBC sets the artistic and technical standards for broadcasters all over the world. Standards that many struggle to meet, some occasionally or even regularly exceed, but ALL pay attention to what the BBC is doing.
The BBC's output also extends to print publishing, and its flagship magazine is the Radio Times, which provides a weekly listing of all the major TV channels, and radio too.
The Radio Times has been in existence since 1923 and sells around a million copies every week.
Like many magazines it has a letters page, from which I have extracted a letter that seems not to be in the interests of music composers and recordists. You can see it above.
In this letter, a TV viewer complains that there is too much background music. In fact, he doesn't just say that there is too much - he says it should be done away with!
Letters like this frequently appear in the Radio Times, which says two things. One, that there are many people who really do not like background music and they are so strongly motivated that they put pen to paper. Two, that the Radio Times thinks it is a good idea to publish these letters.
There are two reasons why music is used in movies and TV programs. One is to enhance the atmosphere, the other is to bolster up weak areas. Clearly the first is a good use of music, the second... well if you have to do it, you have to do it.
When movies and TV programs are shot, there is no music. The images, dialog and background sounds are edited together without music.
And then someone has to DECIDE where to put the music. It doesn't get there of its own accord, which some viewers seem to think is what happens.
And the more music they use, the more it costs. So in fact there is an incentive to use less music, not more.
As far as I am concerned, there can't be enough background music. The more there is, the more work there is for composers, recording engineers and studios, and of course publishers. More money!
I still have to wonder though why news needs music.
Going back to the letter. The writer makes an interesting point that 'highly skilled sound recordists' must resent background music. I presume he means the sound engineers who work on the dialog etc.
I wonder whether they do? If you work in TV sound, do you ever feel that what you do is overshadowed by the background music?
If you just watch TV and are not involved in TV production, do you think there is too much background music? Is it too loud or distracting?
If you compose music for TV, how do you feel about letters like this?
