Q: Why do I have to JSON.stringify before I .parseJSON a result set from Google+ API? I just started playing around with the google+ API and have scoured the docs.  It seems pretty straight forward.  According to google, a call on their API returns json.  Why then do I have to stringify the json before parsing the json before I call key values in jQuery?  Here is the sample of code I am working with:
$.ajax({
    url: "https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/{user number}/activities/public?key={my api key}",
    data: {
        "maxResults": 20,
        "verb": "post"
    },
    dataType: "json",
    type: "get",
    success: function (data) {
        var num_actual_posts = 0;
        data = $.parseJSON(JSON.stringify(data));
        var listElements = $('ul#googleFeedUL li');

        for (var i = 0; i < data.items.length; i++) {
            if (data.items[i].verb == "post") {
                $(listElements[num_actual_posts]).append(data.items[i].object.content);
                num_actual_posts++;
                if (num_actual_posts > 5) {
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    },
    error: function (e) {
        alert(e);
    }
});

NOTE: I have to call 20 posts, because "shares" made by user also get returned when "post" verb is requested for some reason.  I then look for actual posts within the returned json in order to display only real posts.  The docs also don't seem to tell you how to extract data by explaining the json object hierarchy, so I just had to track it down through the console.  'data.items[i].object.content' is the content of a google+ post.

A: Your AJAX call already specifies dataType: "json", so jQuery will already parse the returned JSON to a JavaScript object.
You should be able to drop
data = $.parseJSON(JSON.stringify(data));

altogether as data already is your desired object.

Reports emerging from Sri Lanka suggest that government forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) are violating the laws of war by targeting civilians and preventing them from escaping to safety.
Amnesty International has received information that the LTTE has, in at least one instance, prevented injured civilians from moving to safer areas or accessing medical care, an act that could constitute a war crime.
"Recent fighting has placed more than a quarter of a million civilians at great risk. People displaced by the conflict are experiencing acute shortages of humanitarian aid, especially food, shelter and medical care. There has been no food convoy in the area since 16 January," said Yolanda Foster, Amnesty International's Sri Lanka researcher.
The Government of Sri Lanka is carrying out military operations in areas with a civilian population. The aerial and artillery bombardment has reportedly led to civilian deaths, injuries, the destruction of property and mass displacement.
Sri Lankan government forces have pushed the Tamil Tigers out of all major urban areas they had held for nearly a decade and into a small pocket of land. More than 300,000 civilians who have fled the oncoming government troops are also trapped in this small area. They have been displaced multiple times and are increasingly vulnerable as fighting moves closer.
Hundreds of people have been killed or injured and such medical care as has been available is threatened due to danger to the few health workers and damage to hospitals.
The government had declared "safe zones" to allow civilians to seek shelter, but information made available to Amnesty International indicates that several civilians in the so-called safe zone have been killed or sustained injuries as a result of artillery bombardment.
A doctor working in a hospital in a "safe zone" says that about 1,000 shells fell around the hospital.
A convoy of 24 vehicles, arranged by the Red Cross and the UN to transport up to 300 wounded people, including 50 children, was stopped from leaving the area by the LTTE.
The UN says it will attempt to help evacuate the wounded for a second time, if permission is granted by LTTE and if a lull in the fighting permits. They hope to cross the frontline at midday Thursday.
Targeting civilians and carrying out indiscriminate attacks by any party to the conflict violates international humanitarian law.

UP attracts Rs 500 Crores investment in Dairy sector
Jun 22, 2022 CP Milk and Food products, Creamy Foods, dairy news, dairynews7x7, Investments, rural employment, UP dairy sector
The dairy industry of Uttar Pradesh has attracted an investment worth Rs 500 crore with a potential to enhance the industrial development of the state.
As a major source of employment and income generation for rural people it is expected to shape their lives with the new investment proposals.
Projects worth Rs 482 crore were presented in this sector during the third groundbreaking ceremony (GBC-3) held in Lucknow on June 3.
They include projects of Duss Bareilly (Rs 80.3 crore) in Bareilly, Creamy Foods Limited (Rs 60 crore) in Bulandshahr, CP Milk and Food Products private limited (Rs 118 crore) in Gorakhpur, and two projects — CP Milk and Food Products Private Limited worth Rs 100 crore and DUSS Lucknow worth Rs 124 crore — in Lucknow, as per the pioneer.
Talking about the development in the sector, a government spokesman said on Monday that flourishing dairy sector in UP would help the state become self-reliant and also contribute to doubling farmers' income.
Emphasising the aim of cooperative system to provide employment and services in society with the participation of workers and markets, he said the sector plays an important role in achieving food security, reducing poverty, generating employment opportunities for women, and providing a regular source of income for rural households.
Dairy industry provides alternative employment opportunities all through 365 days of the year while crop production employs the rural workforce for 90 to 120 days.

Increased expression of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in osteoarthritis of human knee joint compared to hip joint
John H. Rosenberg, Vikrant Rai, Matthew F. Dilisio, Todd D. Sekundiak, Devendra K. Agrawal
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease characterized by the destruction of cartilage. The greatest risk factors for the development of OA include age and obesity. Recent studies suggest the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of OA. The two most common locations for OA to occur are in the knee and hip joints. The knee joint experiences more mechanical stress, cartilage degeneration, and inflammation than the hip joint. This could contribute to the increased incidence of OA in the knee joint. Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), including high-mobility group box-1, receptor for advanced glycation end products, and alarmins (S100A8 and S100A9), are released in the joint in response to stress-mediated chondrocyte and cartilage damage. This facilitates increased cartilage degradation and inflammation in the joint. Studies have documented the role of DAMPs in the pathogenesis of OA; however, the comparison of DAMPs and its influence on OA has not been discussed. In this study, we compared the DAMPs between OA knee and hip joints and found a significant difference in the levels of DAMPs expressed in the knee joint compared to the hip joint. The increased levels of DAMPs suggest a difference in the underlying pathogenesis of OA in the knee and the hip and highlights DAMPs as potential therapeutic targets for OA in the future.

Leadership Thesis
IC Work
Embodying a Studio Mindset
I have started to see my job as that of a studio lead – this means making many small bets, and distributing among teams.
I am thinking about efficacy, on top of efficiency, at a portfolio level.
Individualizing Talent
Pretty quickly, as both a game design leader and a director, I realized I was passionate about bringing out the talents of others, but only during the time I was working with them.
At one end of the spectrum, I did this for teams of 2, at the other, for teams of 34.
Growing Talent
Before, I cared about helping people find the best of their talent in the present tense. Now, I see potential, and set up the space for people to grow into their own interests.
I love mentoring others into becoming mentors for others.
Walking The Walk
I also deeply believed that the only way to inspire others to do their best was to know at least the minimum of what their role skills should be; to always have an IC mindset in everything I did, even though I was a manager.
Enabling Others
I still think the best way to show I'm a leader is to do a little bit of everything, IC-wise. But I no longer feel pressured to know everything.
Now I focus on giving tools like templates, briefs, values, and principles that are succinct and actionable.
I still think the best way to show I'm a leader is to show I can do a little bit of everything, IC-wise. But I no longer feel pressured to know everything. I want others to surprise me. I have learned to let go.
Motivating Through Vision
My main way of motivating others was in a 1:1 relationship, conveying a grand vision that fired up my peers to continue working.
Motivating Through Constraints
My objective is to give teammates the playground to dream.
My job is to give brilliant people the constraints necessary to go from a blank page to a beautiful drawing.
I have shown big visions before, but now my objective is to let others build out visions themselves by giving them the playgrounds to do so.

10 Movies That Were Better Than The Book
[Editor's note: While your editors take the day off, Flavorwire will be counting down some of our most popular features of 2011 so far. This post originally ran on March 23rd. Enjoy your Memorial Day!] One of several slight disappointments at the box office last week was The Lincoln Lawyer, an adaptation of a Michael Connelly novel with Matthew McConaughey in the lead. We haven't seen the film, but based on the poster, it appears to be about a lawyer who works from the hood of his car. Yeah, we're gonna go with that. Anyway, it came in fourth for the weekend, so whoever approved McConaughey wearing a shirt in the poster is surely fired already. But the film met with warm reviews, garnering an 82% at Rotten Tomatoes and positive comparisons to the source material (even from the author himself).
Though many would consider Connelly's books to be serviceable genre potboilers rather than fine literature, this may very well be a case where the movie is better than the book — the exception to the rule. Or is it? The notion that film adaptations of novels are always inferior to the original isn't always borne out by the facts. Join us after a jump for a look at ten movies we think were better than the book.
As you may have noticed, we love this movie. Based on the novella The Body in the Stephen King anthology Different Seasons (which also included the source stories for The Shawshank Redemption and Apt Pupil, which could have easily made this list as well), Rob Reiner's 1986 coming-of-age drama gave King's nostalgic tale a timeless pulse and immediacy, aided immeasurably by a pitch-perfect period soundtrack and a quartet of unforgettable performances by Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell, and the late, great River Phoenix.
Reiner followed up Stand By Me with this adaptation of William Goldman's 1973 adventure/romance/comedy novel. While the book is a funny, exciting treat, the film version (which famed screenwriter Goldman adapted himself) brings the story's swashbuckling action scenes, magnificent scenery, and imaginative situations to vivid and memorable life, and the framing device (with grandfather Peter Falk reading the story to his sick grandson, played by Fred Savage) is a perfect replacement for Goldman's "commentary" in the original volume.
Charles Webb's 1963 novel is mostly remembered these days for the generation-defining movie it inspired. But the screenplay (by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry), Mike Nichols's inspired direction, the Simon & Garfunkel songs, and the iconic performances by Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, and Katharine Ross combine with Webb's original story of post-collegiate ennui to create the unforgettable experience of that 1967 film. Their absence is deeply felt when returning to the original book.
Dr. Strangelove (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb)
It could be argued that any number of Stanley Kubrick pictures topped the novels that inspired them — one could make a compelling case for 2001, The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut, and even A Clockwork Orange. But Kubrick's greatest departure from his source material — and greatest success in doing so — was certainly his 1964 black comedy Dr. Strangelove. The film was based on Peter George's novel Red Alert, a deadly serious mediation on the threat of nuclear war. When Kubrick started working on the film, however, he decided that it might work better as a "nightmare comedy," and he hired satirist Terry Southern to work with him on the script. It ended up being a wise move, since Columbia had another serious nuclear-threat drama in production at the same time — and that film, Fail-Safe, was based on a novel so similar to Red Alert that Peter George sued its authors for plagiarism.
Stephen Frears's 2000 film version of Nick Hornby's novel somehow managed to translate the very young Brit author's story and sensibility from London to Chicago and lose none of its considerable charm. In fact, through perfect casting (particularly in the record-store trio of Rob, Dick, and Barry) and sharp dialogue (star John Cusack co-wrote the screenplay with writing and producing partners D.V. DeVincentis and Steve Pink), the film became one of the most vivid and believable portraits of pop culture obsession yet committed to film. Roger Ebert raved, in a four-star review: "This is a film about — and also for — not only obsessed clerks in record stores, but the video store clerks who have seen all the movies, and the bookstore employees who have read all the books. Also for bartenders, waitresses, greengrocers in health food stores, kitchen slaves at vegetarian restaurants, the people at GNC who know all the herbs, writers for alternative weeklies, disc jockeys on college stations, salespeople in retro clothing shops, tattoo artists and those they tattoo, poets, artists, musicians, novelists, and the hip, the pierced and the lonely. They may not see themselves but they will recognize people they know." Indeed.
Author Ken Kesey had a famously contentious relationship with the 1975 film adaptation of his most acclaimed work. He was originally involved with the production but left early on (some of those "creative differences" we're always hearing about). He remained critical of the film throughout his life (alternately saying he disliked it or hadn't seen it), and later filed a lawsuit against the film's producers for perceived financial slights (it was settled out of court). Whatever his opinion of it, most would agree that the film holds up better than the book — which, great though it is, can't match the raw emotional force of Milos Forman's multiple Oscar winner.
Richard Hooker's novel was plenty fresh and funny when it first appeared in 1968. The satirical book was loosely based on the author's own exploits as a military surgeon during the Korean War and created several soon-to-be immortal characters like Hawkeye Pierce, "Trapper John" McIntyre, "Radar" O'Reilly, and Major "Hot Lips" Houlihan. But it doesn't have anything approaching the timeless appeal of Robert Altman's brilliant, subversive 1970 film version, which used Altman's distinctive "eavesdropping" style and a crackerjack ensemble cast to create a film that was both uproariously funny and boldly upfront in its anti-war attitudes.
John Grisham's 1991 novel was his first major success, and quickly established his knack for legal thrillers written from the inside. But the prose is also frequently wobbly, and the third act is, to put it midly, anti-climactic. When the great Sidney Pollack (3 Days of the Condor, Tootsie) was hired to direct a film adaptation, he turned it into a tight, taut entertainment; his screenwriters (including Chinatown scribe Robert Towne and playwright David Rabe) cooked up the ingenious "mail fraud" angle and supplied Pollack with a pulse-pounding chase scene and a far more cinematic wrap-up.
Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather may very well be the greatest film ever made. Mario Puzo's The Godfather is, well, not the greatest book ever written. Puzo, by his admission, wrote it as a purely commercial enterprise, after penning two novels that garnered respectable reviews but few sales. With five kids to feed, he figured he'd better start making some money as a writer. His book is punchy, well-paced, and fun to read, but it's far from the work of art that Coppola's film (which the director co-wrote with Puzo) and its sequel are. The films add in the mood, texture, and depth missing from the book, while (thankfully) removing its inexplicable gynecological subplot.
Peter Benchley's 1974 novel was a smash success upon its original release. Luckily, producers Richard D. Zanuck and David Brown had already bought the movie rights and took a chance on young Steven Spielberg to direct the film adaptation. Benchley adapted the screenplay, while Spielberg hired actor Carl Gottlieb, who played a small role in the film (and in M*A*S*H, coincidentally enough) to revise the screenplay. Somewhere along the line, several of the book's less fortunate plotlines were excised — including the mayor's mafia ties and an affair between Ellen Brody and Hooper — and the leaner, tighter screenplay focused squarely on the pursuit of the shark. The results were spectacular; critics cheered and audiences flocked to the film, which became one of the highest-grossing pictures of all time.
Those are some of our favorites. Which movies do you think topped the books that inspired them?


Can The Majority Represent The Opinions of The Minority?
To start with, I was very shocked with a sexual crime committed by a freshman when I entered POSTECH. I expected no one would be a victim of these crimes anymore at that time, however small. However, I realized deep-rooted, ugly injustice was around me. It was far from what I had been expecting before. I heard sexual objectification of females by a bunch of male students in a nearby pub. I heard an evident expression of hate toward minorities, such as women and queer people. I felt disgusted and could not say a word in those moments of injustice. I was afraid how I might be seen to them and did not want to stand out.
We are now living in the world full of diversity. We cannot understand other people unless we stand in their shoes. For the mainstream who are privileged to have the power, it is difficult to understand the hardships of others. We should know that all people are the minority in any form. Some people perceive that minorities have certain advantages. Consequently, leaving opportunities of the major impaired, which is not true. It is just breaking the old-fashioned shackles from the minority, who had been discriminated unreasonably.
I believe all people should be treated equally. Also, we should always be aware of irrational injustice as members of our society. As a minority in some regards, I encountered a few people who asserted that they understand the difficulties that I face, which is ridiculous and hypocritical. I finally concluded that the majority cannot represent the opinions of the minority, but the former should strive to understand the inequalities and attempt to improve society, rather than standing with their arms. The latter should be eager to attain their rights, promote them, and protect them. Through this, I hope the world with sunshine to all people.


CitiGroup analysts are forecasting that retail gasoline prices could rise to around $2.85 to $2.90 a gallon during peak driving season this year if oil continues to climb and wholesale margins "hold up".
that gasoline has even more room to run, with prices of $3 a gallon possible under a scenario in which Brent crude touches $80 a barrel.
If anything, these analysts are likely too conservative.
The average gasoline price has already climbed by over 25% in the country to approx. $2.80 per gallon.

On the Digital Semiosphere
Author: John Hartley
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
It is only since global media and digital communications became accessible to ordinary populations – with Telstar, jumbo jets, the pc and mobile devices – that humans have been able to experience their own world as planetary in extent. What does it mean to be one species on one planet, rather than a patchwork of scattered, combative and mutually untranslatable cultures? One of the most original and prescient thinkers to tackle cultural globalisation was Juri Lotman (1922-93). On the Digital Semiosphere shows how his general model of the semiosphere provides a unique and compelling key to the dynamics and functions of today's globalised digital media systems and, in turn, their interactions and impact on planetary systems. Developing their own reworked and updated model of Lotman's evolutionary and dynamic approach to the semiosphere or cultural universe, the authors offer a unique account of the world-scale mechanisms that shape media, meanings, creativity and change – both productive and destructive. In so doing, they re-examine the relations among the contributing sciences and disciplines that have emerged to explain these phenomena, seeking to close the gap between biosciences and humanities in an integrated 'cultural science' approach.

At the moment that I am writing this, the headlines on every news show and Internet news site are telling the story of the impact of Hurricane Harvey on Texas. The property destruction has been horrendous.
Anticipatory grief is most commonly associated to the feelings of grief felt by those who are dealing with a loved one's impending death. A Place for Mom describes anticipatory grief as often being as intense as the grief experienced after a death itself.
Cumulative Grief
To say that grief can be challenging and overwhelming is an understatement. It's not unusual for a griever to feel like their whole world is closing in on them. They will often find that they are not only dealing with the emotional pain of their most recent loss, but every other loss they have experienced as well.
The Steps of Grief
Working your way through the emotional pain of any loss is very much like following a path along a road. Depending on the number of losses you have dealt with in your life, parts of the path may seem very familiar. With each loss, however, we encounter a different fork in that path that is both confusing and unfamiliar.
Loneliness, Isolation and Grief
People commonly feel a sense of loneliness when a friend or family member moves away or dies. You miss that person being a part of your daily life. You think of things you might wish to share with them, but they are no longer there. That loneliness and related feelings of isolation are normal. These two sensations are also normal and natural feelings associated with grief.
Alzheimer's, Dementia and Grief
Dementia and Alzheimer's disease, though different in definition, can each leave other family members with a deep sense of loss.
Grief Books: The 5 Best Books Ever Written on Grief Recovery
A search of books on Bereavement and Loss will show you that thousands of grief books have been written. The majority of these books are either the stories of different people's struggles with their losses, or books that offer intellectual reasons to deal with this most painful of emotional issues. Neither of these offers any real assistance to new grievers struggling with their own pain.
Forgiveness After A Breakup
There are many reasons why a relationship that is supposed to be based on love might ultimately end in failure. Perhaps the most frequent assumption made by others relates to infidelity. This may very well be a factor, but it's frequently something that occurs after the relationship has already started to unravel. The breakup may have been a result of legal, financial or heath issues.
10 Things You Need To Know About The Grieving Process
Even though we all deal with different levels of grief throughout our lives, a hugely impactful loss can leave us questioning our sanity. Tasks that were once simple can become a challenge. Things that people say (or do not say) can touch us on an emotional level far beyond what they ever did before.
How Long Does Grief Last?
So how long does grief last? This is the most frequently asked question by grievers. Depending on with whom they speak, they will be bombarded by a variety of answers that really offer them no useful information. We need to first look at some of this "misinformation" before we look at the truth!

Talks at standstill as one-day teacher strike looms
Dec 03, 2019 • December 3, 2019 • 3 minute read
Education Minister Stephen Lecce, left, and OSSTF president Harvey Bischof. Canadian Press
Contract talks between the Ontario government and the union representing the province's public high school teachers appeared to be at a standstill Tuesday ahead of a possible one-day strike that could close many schools across Ontario.
Education Minister Stephen Lecce said his bargaining team had presented a new "framework" to negotiators for the Ontario Secondary Teachers' Federation in a bid to keep all parties at the table.
Talks at standstill as one-day teacher strike looms Back to video
But union president Harvey Bischof said the teachers had not been given anything new by a mediator, and no progress has been made for days.
"While we will stay here until the very end and do our very best, the signs are very discouraging at this point," Bischof said. "The minister is either deliberately misleading or completely uninformed. I'd invite him to come down to the hotel and maybe I can update him."
Ontario's public high school teachers have been without a contract since August and have said they will walk off the job for one day if an agreement isn't reached by midnight Tuesday.
Some of the province's largest school boards — including the Toronto District School Board and Peel District School Board, west of Toronto — have said they will be forced to close their high schools if the job action takes place.
The teachers are already conducting a work-to-rule campaign and say they are pushing back against government plans to increase class sizes and introduce mandatory e-learning courses.
Bischof said he is sympathetic to parents who will be inconvenienced by the possible closure of some schools, but the union is fighting government cuts that will impact the quality of education in the province.
"I can tell you that the long-term damage to the system, if we allow this government to continue to go down this destructive path, is far worse than a day lost to labour action," he said.
Lecce said the main issue in the talks is compensation, with the government recently passing legislation to cap annual wage increases for all public sector workers at one per cent for three years. The union is asking for inflationary increases, which would amount to about two per cent.
The minister said the government remains ready to bargain, but did not provide any further details of the new framework apparently offered on Tuesday.
"There's a pathway to keep kids in class tomorrow," Lecce said. "It's the government's aim to keep kids in class. Quite frankly, I think it's unacceptable unions have opted to make this decision that keeps kids out of class tomorrow…. It only frustrates parents and hurts kids from an academic perspective."
Lecce said the teachers' union is choosing to escalate the talks and said governments of all political stripes have faced similar challenges over the past few decades.
But former Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne, who also once served as education minister, said the Progressive Conservatives made cuts to classrooms ahead of bargaining, hurting the government's relationship with teachers.
"It's been more than 20 years since there's been a province-wide job action by OSSTF," she said. "I think that speaks volumes. The last province-wide job action was under the (Progressive Conservative) Mike Harris government. The fact is, it's not the same. This government declared war on teachers and support staff."
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said she knows the potential labour disruption will affect parents who are forced to find other child-care arrangements, but she thinks overall parents are more upset with the government.
"I would hope what happens tomorrow is a signal to the government," Horwath said. "What I expect to see is parents supporting the teachers, to be frank."
Green party Leader Mike Schreiner also said he thinks parents agree with teachers taking the job action.
"If the government would reverse their cuts then we could have a good faith negotiation around salaries," he said. "The government is trying to use compensation as a way to deflect from the real cuts to education."

Quick Money Loans are similar to payday loans or short term loans in that you can borrow an amount of money over a short period of time quickly. Whether you are looking for £100 or £2000 over a short period of time and quick money loan can cover the cost for those unexpected bills.
You find yourself half way through the month of January, you have just had a Christmas and New year to remember and you are feeling good that all the bills are paid up until your next payday when disaster strikes.
Your boiler breaks down, you call out an engineer and the bill he quotes you is over £200, what can you do? a quick money loan is the answer.
Your car breaks down, you call out the AA but it needs towing to a garage, the next day you find yourself with a bill of £300 to get you back on the road, a quick money loan is the answer.
The reason a quick money loan is useful is because you can have the money in your bank account within a couple of hours, long before the engineer has even fixed your boiler. This can take the stress out of any emergency like this, with a short term loan this disaster has been averted and you have spread the cost of the loan over 3 months so it doesn't hit you so much on payday.
Visit our FAQ page for answers to any questions you might have about LoanPig themselves or any part of borrowing quick money loans from a short term direct lender.

Applying the "C's"
The number of variables that can influence how each "C" element is interpreted is countless. However, an international credit manager learns, through experience, the situations where one "C" may be more or perhaps less important in evaluating a credit decision.
For example, the "character" of the management may be of such a concern to an analyst (for example, the owner may have been in bankruptcy) that despite a strong company financial structure, the seller may limit credit to the buyer. Likewise, a "country" assessment may result in a risk manager requesting secured credit with a buyer located in a country that is in economic turmoil, even though this buyer is financially sound.
Usually international credit managers who have developed their skills through years of solid training, mentoring, successes and mistakes (yes, mistakes) are well-equipped to balance and weigh the "C's" of credit in attempting to reach a decision.

We start off by talking about the latest build in the Windows 10 19H1 development branch and the stagnant status of the re-release process for the October 2018 Update. Currently that feature update is still being tested by Slow and Release Preview Ring Insiders. Another issue, this time about copying and pasting files from a compressed archive, now has to be fixed and likely tested as well. This was earnings week and Microsoft had a big one setting records for revenue along with big year over year gains in most areas across the company. This performance even lifted Microsoft up into position as the second most valuable company in the United States.

The Joe Solo Story
Prior to playing in bands at age 14 in Shaker Heights, Ohio, Joe was not a very popular kid with the ladies. Being in a band changed all that. It gave him confidence to approach girls, and even better, they often approached him first. This prevented him from having to break though the crippling fear of rejection he had always felt when approaching females his whole life. So it was around this time that he decided he wanted to make music his life. "I admit it" Solo says," that I absolutely love music, but I had stumbled onto a way to socialize with woman without having to deal with my deep fears of approaching women — So I decided to make music my life!" he laughs.
Upon announcing to his parents his new life-long vocational decision, his dad got very excited by the prospect of him carrying on the family tradition of entertainment, (Joe's paternal grandfather and 11 great aunts & uncles were traveling Vaudeville entertainers.)
So his dad promised for Joe's upcoming birthday he would get him any piece of music equipment that would propel his career forward.
Joe thought about it for a few days and finally told his dad he wanted a digital delay effect for his guitar rig.
Joe wanted to be able to play Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell" guitar part and that required a delay unit.
So as Joe excitedly ripped open the wrapping paper on his birthday gift a few weeks later, he imagined how cool he would soon be able to make his guitar sound. He anticipated the barrage of awe inspired compliments he would receive after live shows from being able to pull off being able to play the one song from Floyd's "The Wall" that no other guitarist in his circle of peers could do.
What Joe found sitting inside the box was a piece of music gear that would forever change the direction of his life, and in ways so profound that it would later culminate into sales of over 34 million records.
"I think this will be much better for you music career then a device intended to emulate somebody else's playing style" his dad confidently explained.
"What I pulled out of the box was Tascam's Porta-One – a battery operate portable 4 track recording studio. Dad always was kinda brilliant." That was the moment in Joe's mind that he had graduated from being "merely a player" to being a producer . . . which changed everything.
In 1985, he met Macy Gray while paying his bill at Larry Parker's Beverly Hills dinner. She was the cashier, and surmised Joe was a guitar player due to long hair axe-slingers were sporting in those days. She said, "I'm a singer. Do you play guitar?" "Sure do!" "Well I'm a singer and we should get together tomorrow and write a some songs." "Sounds good to me" said Joe.
The next day she came over his place. After 5 minutes of hearing her sing, Joe put down his guitar and said, "I will commit, right now in this moment, to being your producer and develop you and never leave you or stop trying for however long it takes . . . until we make it big."
15 years later, Joe's development resulted in Macy winning the Grammy for Best New Artist, had a double platinum debut album, a hit MTV Video called "I Try," and she became an internationally recognized singer.
Joe had keep that promise, "until they make it big."
In 2001, he and Macy 's song "Sweet Baby," (which they wrote and recorded in 4 hours back in 1994) became the first single off her 2001 release, The Id.
As a result, Joe signed a half-million dollar worldwide publishing deal to be the head staff writer/producer for Paramount's Famous Music Publishing division, and has since had hundreds of professional collaborations and over 2000 song placements in films, tv shows, video games, and commercials.
Joe is now CEO of Joe Solo Music+Entertainment, Inc., – his multi-media, record label, publishing, artist development, and record production company, and is coaching and inspiring rising music and songwriting talent worldwide through their Music Success Workshop Division.
