Full Stack Developer Salary in California
With its beaches, bars, food, and music scene, California is a gorgeous place which many people would love to live in and work in. But how do salaries there compare to the rest of the U.S.?
In this article we're going to discuss the exciting prospect of a career as a full stack developer, and compare the average full stack developer salary nationwide to that of California.
Do Full Stack Developers Make More Money?
Full stack developers are highly-skilled professionals that command good salaries.
Take this quiz to skip straight to final interviews with Remote Friendly Tech Companies!
A full stack developer can be distinguished from a front end or backend developer in that they tend to be fluent in a broader range of technologies.
If we take building a website as an illustrative example, a front end developer would use Javascript and Ruby on Rails to try to build a functional and responsive page that people enjoy using. A backend developer would work with Node.js, php, or other tools to make sure the website is correctly interfacing with databases and servers. A full stack developer, on the other hand, could fill either of these roles or might focus on tasks which require a truly comprehensive view of the requisite technology.
For this reason, you might expect full stack developers to command larger salaries. As always, what you ultimately end up getting paid depends on experience, background, the particulars of the company that hires you, and a number of other factors. But we can still look at aggregate data to get a sense of the relative pay scales (all figures are from glassdoor.com). In the United States
Full stack developers average $80,000 a year, with $54,000 a year on the low end and $116,000 a year on the high end.
Front end developers make $77,908 a year on average, with $56,000 a year on the low end and $111,000 a year on the high end.
Backend developers make $117,000 a year on average, with $101,000 a year on the low end and $139,000 a year on the high end.

I'm inclined to suspect something is skewing the numbers for backend developers. But if we take them seriously, full stack developers make more than front end but less than backend developers.
Do Developers Make More Money In California?
California is a haven for technologists.
The comparison I usually make is to average salaries in Denver, Austin, New York City, and California. I threw in Los Angeles because this is an article about full stack developer salaries in California. Here are the figures:
San Francisco: $100,000 a year.
Los Angeles: $81,000 a year.
Denver: $78,000 a year.
Austin: $106,000 a year (though Glassdoor notes that there aren't enough reported salaries to make a distribution, so this probably isn't very accurate)
New York City: $86,000 a year.
We see that San Francisco loses to Austin (though there's reason to believe that this isn't really true), and Los Angeles comes in ahead of Denver and a few grand short of NYC.
Before you pack your bags and head off, remember that a huge part of what drives up those salaries in California is the staggering cost of living there. This has to be factored in to any compensation packages.
Truthfully, though, you can make a great living in California as a full stack developer. And the weather is famously nice, so no excuses for not getting outside every week or so!

Is there a way to specify the colors available to pick from when clicking on the 'Background Color' or 'Border Color' buttons when editing a table?
Similar to how we can specify the colors available to pick from when changing text color.
I am unable to find a way to do this in the documentation or on these forums.

Principles for Managing Executive Compensation
In recent months, numerous regulatory and advisory groups have contributed to an ongoing dialogue about the application of techniques of good corporate governance to managing executive compensation.
Risk Metrics (formerly, Institutional Shareholder Services), The Conference Board Commission on Public Trust and Private Enterprise, The National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) Blue Ribbon Commission on Executive Compensation, and others have joined experienced professional advisors to offer opinions and guidance on the issue. Although there is plenty of room for discussion, substantial agreement exists on a handful of core principles that we summarize below:
1. The Compensation Committee Must Drive the Process. Whether it is a legal requirement (for publicly traded companies) or a best practice to aspire to, a compensation committee made up of at least three (3) to as many as five (5) independent directors is essential. Committee members should be knowledgeable, inquisitive and diligent. They must be keenly aware of their fiduciary responsibility to shareholders when making decisions about the structure of the executive compensation program. Finally, they must be prepared to operate in a fishbowl, rather than in a vacuum.
2. First, a Charter; Then, a Philosophy. The compensation committee should have a clear charter from the Board defining the scope of its responsibilities and the processes it will undertake to devise and maintain fair, competitive compensation opportunities for executives. Then, the compensation committee must articulate an executive compensation philosophy or "story" which becomes the basis on which to evaluate various compensation elements and determine how those components reinforce corporate values, goals and objectives.
3. Measure What You Manage. A fundamental goal of an executive compensation program is to provide a total compensation opportunity that is both attractive and "reasonable". Without a clear understanding of what kinds and how much compensation the market provides, the compensation committee can only guess. Further, what is "reasonable" compensation for a high-performing company may be completely unreasonable for one that significantly trails its peers. You don't have to follow the herd, but you should know where it's going.
4. Control the Relationship With Outside Consultants. In the interest of having fair, unbiased input about industry practices and trends, the compensation committee should hire and manage the services of outside consultants who provide executive pay information and recommendations. In following this approach, it is important that top management continue to be an integral part of the executive compensation process. However, it is the compensation committee that must "own" the consulting relationship.
5. Pay for Performance. A significant portion of total compensation for executives should be tied directly to performance of the business. Rewarding sustained, longer-term results, and not merely short-term, annual results, is essential. Compensation that is "at risk" (conditioned on performance) is critical to aligning executive pay with long-term shareholder interests and corporate goals.
Accepting and Applying these Principles. The first step is to accept the wisdom of these fundamentals; the second is to apply them. Now more than ever an executive compensation program, and the compensation committee entrusted to devise and oversee it, will be judged on how well the "walk" measures up to the "talk".

Intermodal Network Update for Friday, October 14, 2022
BNSF teams responded to several service-related challenges this week on the Southern Transcon while maintaining relatively steady overall service performance across the network. Car velocity increased slightly from the prior week and the average for September. Terminal dwell decreased, and our local service compliance measure, which reflects our efficiency in handling carload freight, was down slightly versus the previous week but averaged nearly 89% for the week.
Shortly after midnight on Tuesday, BNSF operating teams responded to a weather-related washout on our Seligman Subdivision in Arizona, approximately 55 miles east of Needles, California. BNSF crews and equipment were deployed to the scene and restored service to the main track of this busy corridor by Tuesday evening. This incident occurred following another weather-related washout that happened last Friday. As reported, the washout affected both main tracks, ten miles west of Gallup, New Mexico. Approximately 980 tons of ballast, the main component for the trackbed upon which railroad ties and track are laid, was used to restore the affected area. Thanks to BNSF teams' aggressive efforts, both main tracks were returned to service in less than 24 hours.
Additionally, a derailment occurred Wednesday morning at Curry, New Mexico, approximately 80 miles west of Clovis, impacting one of our two main tracks on the Southern Transcon. BNSF teams quickly restored service, returning the second track to service that evening.
LABOR BARGAINING UPDATE
The Rail Industry is in the final stages of national bargaining with twelve unions that collectively represent employees in the bargaining round. As reported, we have reached tentative agreements or ratified agreements with all unions. Currently, half of the unions have ratified agreements, and tentative agreements with five other labor organizations remain subject to ratification. One union has declined to ratify the tentative agreement. We are working together to develop next steps, and both parties agree to maintain status quo while we determine the best path forward, meaning there is not a risk of an immediate service disruption.
We will continue to update you as the agreements go through the ratification process with the various unions. If you have any questions, please contact your marketing representative.
INTERMODAL UPDATE
Lack of chassis availability continues to pose challenges at select intermodal facilities. Despite these challenges, we continue to see improvement in container availability at our Alliance Intermodal Facility, where teams have taken several steps to increase productivity and improve access to stacked units.
Lengthy street turn times for chassis continue to deplete the assets needed to unload trains at our hubs. We appreciate your efforts to prioritize the prompt pick-up of shipments and extending receiving windows to help improve traffic flows, reduce lot congestion at our inland facilities and provide the space needed for processing inbound freight as quickly as possible. Carriers are encouraged to take advantage of reduced wait times at all inland hubs during late evening and early morning hours.
BNSF has multiple tools available for customers to track their shipments. Please contact your BNSF marketing representative if you have any questions.
We will continue to monitor the high risk for wildfire activity across the Central Plains due to dry conditions and gusty winds. The Great Lakes, Midwest and Northeast are experiencing winterlike conditions, as a cold front moves through the area. Flood watches are currently in effect in portions of the Southwest, including Southwestern California and Central Arizona. BNSF teams are monitoring these areas and are prepared to respond quickly to any service interruptions.
Elsewhere across the BNSF network, favorable operating conditions are expected, with no extreme weather anticipated during the upcoming week.


The international student population at RIT has more than doubled over the last 10 years driven by explosive enrollment in graduate programs. A record 2,497 international students from 103 countries are studying at RIT this academic year. Pictured from left are students Yuwei Qiao of China, Paola Gonzalez of the Dominican Republic and Jassim Dalwai, who was born in India and raised in Kuwait.
RIT has long recognized the importance of diversity to organizational growth and synergy. Beginning in the 19th century, when we welcomed women into our classes decades before other colleges even considered co-education, we have intentionally sought students, faculty, and staff from multiple backgrounds, ethnicities, and countries. The 1968 addition of NTID (National Technical Institute for the Deaf) brought an intellectual, linguistic, and programmatic diversity to RIT that is unmatched in higher education. We are likewise proud of the high percentage of low-income students enrolled at RIT (as measured by the number of Pell grants awarded annually) as well as of our growing ranks of under-represented and international students. The unmatched diversity of our academic programs is a direct result of the diverse voices that constantly participate in the RIT conversation. Through our new strategic plan, we will intentionally develop practices, opportunities, and programs that harness the power of difference to drive creative solutions, innovative combinations, and productive collaboration.
RIT will be among the top five national universities in global engagement, as measured by the breadth and size of its international student and alumni populations.
RIT students and faculty will be internationally recognized for their global experience, their mastery of intercultural competencies, and their engagement with globally relevant problems.
RIT will establish targeted centers of collaborative research with international universities, laboratories, and/or corporations in areas of common expertise and aligned goals.
RIT will be the largest producer of female, under-represented male, and deaf or hard-of-hearing STEM graduates among all private colleges in the U.S.
RIT will eliminate the achievement gap between under-represented and majority students, becoming a model of inclusive excellence for all students.
RIT will become a model of inclusive excellence for all faculty and staff in the areas of professional development and promotion.
RIT will reflect diversity and inclusion as core values in assessing performance and promotion at all levels and in all functions of the university.
RIT will be a model of excellence in its deployment of difference to solve problems and practice innovation.
RIT will initiate a comprehensive marketing campaign to make all current and potential stakeholders and higher education at large fully aware of the university's extraordinary history, its unique character, and its exceptional record of success.
Establish research partnerships in emerging international centers of excellence.
All undergraduate programs will identify a place in their curricula for a specific program opportunity through which students can participate in a global, international, or multicultural educational experience.
Develop 10-year plans for increasing the number and percentage of females, under-represented males, and deaf or hard-of-hearing students in STEM majors.
Using an asset-based assessment and research model, develop a profile of success factors and institutional challenges for under-represented males.

The thoughts of Kim Jong Phil
Phil Toledano is productive and imaginative and takes the piss - so a good combination all round. I liked his American Gift Shop and I like his latest project, Kim Jong Phil. The title alone takes it into a different league. The best thing is he's sent snaps of North Korean propaganda posters to Chinese on-demand painters (which I've been tempted to use but never quite managed to dare send a credit card number to) and they've painted the pictures with Phil's face in.
What irks me is that Phil doesn't really have an ideology to go with the pictures and he mixes up Saddam Hussein and Laurent Kabila in with Kim Jong Il - which just strikes me as perverse. Or perhaps I'm just sore that he didn't go the extra mile and use Maoist propaganda posters - the finest propaganda posters to be found.
In any case, Toledano didn't mind any of that. He just said "fuck it" and got on with it - and damn fine he did too. The quotes below are from an interview over at A Photo-Editor.
On top of all this, his phenomenally popular Days with my Father is being made into a film.
Well, I'm doing a project called "Kim Jong-Phil." It's also straightforward.That was a revelation for me, was this parallel between artistic self-delusion and narcissism, and how a dictator is fueled by the same kinds of desires and urges. So what I did was I found paintings and murals from North Korea, photographs of them, and I had them copied in China into 30×40 oil paintings, and they replaced the dear leader with me. So this is a project about me, again, because since "Days with my Father," everything has been inward facing.
PT: You have to just say "Fuck it." That's the best advice I can give to people is to just say "Fuck it." Just do the thing you want to do. If you want to take pictures of your balls, then take pictures of your balls. I'm serious. I know that's not the kind of advice that Rob can probably publish, or you can write, but I really mean it. Because the world is composed of millions of people always telling you things you can't do or shouldn't do. There's always a reason "why not" for everything. So that's why I find this Kim Jong-Phil thing so resonant with me as a person, is because I spent my entire life being a pathological contrarian. It's a reflex, it's in who I am. I have to do the thing that I want to do. I just have to do it. And the more people tell me I shouldn't do it, the more I want to do it. The more wrong it seems like it might be, the more I'm interested in it. So that's the thing. People don't do stuff because fear is immobility. So you just have to be moving at all times. Which is why I'm terrified right now because I have no projects in front of me. "Kim Jong Phil" is done, "A New Kind of Beauty" is done, "The Reluctant Father" is kind of done, so I have nothing in front of me so that terrifies me because I feel like I'm going to start slowing down and I'm going to sink to the seabed.

Panos Pictures Call for Submissions
A call for Submissions from Panos Pictures. Here is an interesting interview with Adrian Evans on what Panos in lookinf for in a photographer and how the submission process has changed over the years.
Submissions guidelines are here.
I love the Tod Papageorge quote: If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not reading enough.
What makes a photographer stand out to you?
'Put bluntly someone who can explain why they take photographs, what they are trying to say in their photography and who they are trying to say it to. In other words photographers who think about their practice and their audience. It is incredible how few photographers do this.
I'm looking for photographers who can interpret the world around them, rather than just illustrate it – Panos isn't a wire agency. A photographer should have their own vision and aesthetic.'
'Equally important is the ability to tell new stories or to tell existing stories in new ways. There is nothing more refreshing than seeing a story or subject I haven't seen photographed before. Too many photographers forget about the importance of identifying and researching stories. Think before you shoot. I recently came across a quote by Tod Papageorge on David Campbell's excellent blog. He said "If your pictures aren't good enough then you're not reading enough." That sums it up for me.'

Swedish Muslims and the Lebanese Civil War
The latest slideshows and radio documentaries by Ben Chesterton and David White at Duckrabbit are well worth checking out.
Both slideshows and documentaries are here: Swedish Racial Tensions and Lebanese Civil War.
It's interesting to see how different the slideshows and radio pieces are - what exactly does the addition of the visual element do to the voices, how do the two combine and what effect does this have on the listener/viewer. The radio pieces are longer and more in-depth, with the Lebanese Civil War using translators for the piece and the Swedish documentary using English-speaking Swedish residents. These are World Service/BBC Radio 4 type documentaries, which often have an annoying element of the generic Radio 4 voice (hugely irritating in other words) about them - what effect does the voice, its timbre, accent and harmonic qualities (can I say that) have on the listener?
Andris Feldmanis's Estonian Interiors
More TV watching from Andris Feldmanis from Estonia, who got in touch after doing a workshop with George Georgiou and Vanessa Winship - a wonderful experience. I especially like the interiors in Feldmanis's pictures - my favourites are of the cramped and cosy interiors where the viewers huddle as though they are in little nests - you can see more of them here.

These are a few of the things Amy Chua didn't let her kids do. The rules are from Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua - another controversial mothering book. Just from reading the snippets, it seems to present an idea of a generic "strict immigrant" approach to parenting. It also ties in to ideas of what it is to be Chinese in the Chinese diaspora and a smash and grab title that wraps two nationalist cliches in one.Chua was born in the Philippines and moved to the US when she was 2 months old
The book is also an example of incredibly astute marketing where an extreme is presented as the way forward with no alternative permitted - Sarah Palin with a law degree. And rather than being Chinese, it is Anglophone and North American, slick soundbite-marketing which does rather more than it sells itself on. Chua is having it both ways, which is something that artists and photographers do almost without exception - some lessons for us all there..
The following is an extract from the Guardian interview.She relents eventually and the kids do other stuff as well but let's pretend she's as horrible as she sounds for a minute, and that all parents of East Asian background are like this.
Amy Chua was in a restaurant, celebrating her birthday with her husband and daughters, Sophia, seven, and Lulu, four. "Lulu handed me her 'surprise', which turned out to be a card," writes Chua in her explosive new memoir, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. "More accurately, it was a piece of paper folded crookedly in half, with a big happy face on the front. Inside, 'Happy Birthday, Mummy! Love, Lulu' was scrawled in crayon above another happy face. I gave the card back to Lulu. 'I don't want this,' I said. 'I want a better one – one that you've put some thought and effort into. I have a special box, where I keep all my cards from you and Sophia, and this one can't go in there.' I grabbed the card again and flipped it over. I pulled out a pen and scrawled 'Happy Birthday Lulu Whoopee!' I added a big sour face. … 'I reject this.'"

I was emailed a couple of months ago about this story that accompanied my pictures of Isabel and Katherine. It was in Black and White Photography a few years back with a text by Katherine. Reading it again brought back memories of the mixed emotions of being a young child, of having a young child.
Few of us remember our early years. If we do, our memories have a ghostly, hallucinogenic quality. They might be primal and visceral or banal and trivial, but they are always emotional. They are memories of envy, pleasure, fear, rage, happiness, pride, malice.
To have a child is to rediscover that part of your childhood, to revisit that forgotten stage of your own journey. It is one of the reasons parenthood is such a profound experience; it allows us to fully map out, for the first time, who we are and where we came from. Through our children, we can trace the invisible roots of our own lives that lie buried in the dank soil of forgotten memories.
My first taste of this came a few hours after my daughter, Isabel, was born. She did not hesitate, but came quickly and violently, landing in the midwife's hands, just after midnight, on a warm spring night. I had two feelings the moment she was born. First, that she was amazingly beautiful, a tiny human creature perfect in every detail. Second, that she was a stranger. She had come from my body, but I did not know her, or even recognise her. And I had expected to recognise her. It was as if someone had walked in off the street and placed this unknown infant into my arms. I knew then that she was an individual, someone totally separate from myself. I could not tell, yet, what kind of person she would turn out to be. But she had begun. She had taken the first step on the journey.
After the drama and back slapping and triumph of birth came the abandonment. I returned to the ward and the midwives said goodnight. I was left, in the half light of a maternity ward at night, with my freshly born baby. It was 3:30 am.
We sat up in bed and stared at each other. Her face was a blank, her eyes two dark saucers devoid of anything we might call human. She looked ghostly, scary almost. What was she thinking? What was she experiencing in those first hours of life? She had only just been expelled from the only world she had ever known to find herself here, in this cold, hard place. She stared at me, her eyes boring into me, as though trying to understand who I might be. Did she recognise me? Did she recognise my voice, my smell, the sound of my heartbeat? Or was she studying this strange being who was to be her carer and protector, the person she would come to know in time as her mother?
And I, like any new mother, felt totally inadequate for the job. It was huge, gargantuan, beyond daunting. I was meant to be having a baby. Instead I had given birth to a human being.
I soon discovered that I knew my baby far more intimately than I realised. Her cries pierced my soul, speaking in a language only I could understand. Where others heard the wails of an infant, I heard hunger or terror or the plaintive longing to he held and comforted.
It was easy to chart her physical evolution, the journey from helpless infant to a walking, talking child, capable of controlling its bodily functions. Books even existed where you could record these remarkable milestones: the first step, the first word, the first locket of hair.
But the emotional journey, the journey into personhood, is more illusive. What are the markers for that? Where do we locate the moment our child first experiences jealousy or self pity? How do we record the way she sees the world or her evolving sense of self? We cannot measure these things with a pencil on the kitchen wall.
It was this journey into personhood that fascinated me most. From the moment she emerged from the dark warmth of my body into the harsh light, she had begun her journey towards herself. Every cell in her body was dedicated to the task. My role was to supply a safe, bounded place where she could get on with the job. Her personality was evident almost immediately: She was laid back, playful, hot tempered, funny. Watching her grow was like watching a mystery unravel, an exotic flower come fully and spectacularly into bloom. At times she was a pendulum, screaming and kicking and red faced one minute, laughing and jumping and delirious with pleasure the next. It was at such moments that her struggle with that violent and beautiful thing called the human condition was most evident.
At first, I was always there to rescue her and protect her from danger. Eventually, she discovered that her mother cannot stop another child from being spiteful, cannot stop the scraped knee from hurting. Her mother cannot control the outside world, or the inside one for that matter. In the end she must learn to deal with these things herself.
To watch and help your child through this process, through those first few years of her life, is both glorious and heartbreaking. It is wonderful to see them embrace pleasure and beauty, to be fully engaged with life. It is a torment to watch them wrestle with the dark side, to see them experience cruelty and betrayal and pain.
And to know that this is only the beginning.
Four years after that night spent staring at a baby in a hospital ward, we threw a birthday party for our daughter. The empty-eyed infant had evolved into a bubbly, happy child with a fiery temper and vivid imagination, a sensitive girl who is easily frightened, yet strangely resilient to wounds. For her it was an epic event. She was four, officially a "big girl", well on her way to achieving her greatest ambition in life: to grow up.
For me, it was the beginning of the end. The first crucial leg of her journey towards selfhood was over. In six months she will be starting school. She will line up with all the other children, in their identical uniforms, and begin her life as a social creature, negotiating with others, functioning within an institution. There she will discover new ideas and other ways of being and begin to make up her own mind about how to live in this world.

The Documentary Maker's Daughter
Doug Block filmed his daughter growing up. The result was the documentary, The Kids Grow Up. Below are some extracts from a Guardian article on the film, with some pertinent and close-to-home questions raised for anybody who films or photographs their family.
'Just think," says Doug Block's wife, Marjorie, while he trains his camera on her, "when she works all this through in therapy she can take the footage with her. Her therapist won't have to imagine what you were like."
Block, a documentary-maker, filmed their daughter Lucy's final year at high school – interspersed with footage of her over the years. His film, The Kids Grow Up, is ostensibly about how a father copes with the prospect of his cherished only child leaving home to go to college. But there is lots more here. It is about his own childhood – "I was a lousy parent in the main," admits Block's elderly, ailing father – and about what it means to be a modern dad (friend or father?). It is about the passage of time,and Block's inability to let go of the past and grow up, as his wife – ever the voice of reason – puts it during one of their filmed interviews.
There are plenty of other moments that make Block look terrible: when he is filming Lucy – aged about 13 – at a basketball game and she doesn't realise until she catches sight of him, and then, her face furious, she shouts across the court: "Stop it, stop it, stop it!" When he looks like a creep for filming his daughter's boyfriend, unaware, through the kitchen window. When his distressed daughter, soon to leave for college, says through her tears as he attempts yet another interview with her: "I'm really pissed off that you're doing this at all. I hate it." "I'm sorry," says Block, in a weedy voice, but he still doesn't take his camera off her. "That was really hard because the whole time I'm thinking, do I turn it off?" says Block. "But Lucy hadn't said to turn it off. She knows I'm rolling because there's a red light on the camera. All I wanted to do was put it down and wrap my arms around her." Why didn't he? "Because your instincts as a documentarian take over and you go: OK, she hasn't told me to turn it off and this is an important discussion. I can always decide later not to include it if it's going over the line. "I know it makes me look really bad, but if you are making personal films, you can't worry about looking good.
Later, when I speak to Lucy, who is at college in California, she says she was never excited about the prospect of being the subject of a documentary. "It shows a much more personal side of my life than I share with most people," she says. "I thought it would be weird and it was. At the beginning I said I didn't want him to film me in public. He asked to come by when I was with my friends and I was totally opposed to that. I probably asked him to stop filming about 50% of the time. Maybe I would let him film for a little while and then I would tell him to stop, usually because I would be doing something, he would start filming and I wouldn't be able to do it any more because I felt like I was acting."
How did Marjorie feel about the filming in general – wasn't it an intrusion into their family life? "No," Block says. "These are two really strong women who say what they think and if they didn't want me doing it, they would have told me. They didn't necessarily want it done, and in the moments when Marjorie didn't want to be filmed she would say not now. But she generally likes to do interviews – she feels that, over the years, we've had some of our best conversations on camera because she says I never listen to her as closely as when I'm interviewing her." It wasn't always like that for Lucy. During her last month at home, she felt increasingly unhappy about being filmed and ultimately broke down on camera. "If I had known at the beginning that the filming would have had a negative impact, I wouldn't have made it," says Block. He also says he would never have released it had Lucy been unhappy with the footage. "She was always going to be the first to see it. During her first break home over Christmas, I showed it to her, very roughly put together, and I gave her the opportunity to opt out. I was prepared to shelve it, and she said no, that she thought it would be a good film." But hadn't he put his daughter in an impossible position? This was his career – she could hardly ask him to stop a project he had been working on all year. He says it occurred to him. And Lucy admits: "There were times when I didn't want him to make it but there was no way I could have brought myself to tell him that. "The hardest part has been for my dad and me to separate our relationship from the movie. I told him recently that I had a hard time distinguishing what his real feelings were from the things he said in the film [for the sake of the story]. I don't know if he realised that before. I feel good about the film now but it has enveloped our family life too much for the past three years and I'm very much ready to move on from it."

Secrets of the tribe
Secrets of the tribe is a documentary about the behaviour of anthropologists who studied the Yanomami people in the Amazon; Napoleon Chagnon (pictured above) and Jacques Lizot in particular. As well as looking at how data was rigged, how corners were cut, how children were abused and how negligent practices caused the deaths of hundreds of tribespeople, the documentary is also a small examination of warfare and ritual amidst anthropologists themselves - the anthropology of anthropologists. Roald Dahl would be gratified to know that there seems to be some kind of correlation between facial hair and personality traits. Essential and depressing viewing.
Watch it on iplayer here if you can.
"The field of anthropology goes under the magnifying glass in a fiery investigation of the seminal research on Yanomami Indians, also known as the 'Fierce People'. In the 1960s and 70s, a steady stream of anthropologists filed into the Amazon Basin to observe this 'virgin' society untouched by modern life. Thirty years later, the events surrounding this infiltration have become a scandalous tale of academic ethics and infighting."

Jonathan Franzen, Freedom and Peep Show
The great success British comedy in recent years is Peep Show. It's a programme that is about fools, probably made by people who are fools, starring actors who are fools. Best of all, the Peep Show fools are fools who I identify with - all men should identify with them if they're honest. The only ones who won't identify are the dishonest men - the double fools if you like. Sometimes I am Mark, the low-achieving ineffectual nerd able to talk himself out of all spontaneity, pleasure and fulfillment in life, but then sometimes I am Jeremy, the low-achieving ineffectual loser who believes in a self-entitled view that success, money and sex should be dealt to him on a plate because, because, because... just because he is who he is.
The message of Peep Show is that we are all losers, we all have unjustified feelings of self-entitlement and we are all ineffectual - and that even if Mark and Jez were efficient, successful and well-adapted they would still be complete tossers. Like the rest of us.
Which brings me to Jonathan Franzen's Freedom where the Mark and Jez characters are played by Walter Berglund and Richard Katz (Richard has a big dash of SuperHans, another character in Peep Show, thrown into the mix), the only difference being that we're in the United States now so Walter and Richard are tremendously more successful and self-aware than Mark and Jez - but they are still fools, American fools.
Like Jez, Richard has occasional insights into the world and one of these comes as he is putting in a deck for a wealthy family. As he puts it in, he meets Zachary, the son of the household. Zachary is a fan of Richard's old band and wannabe guitar-hero. But Richard doesn't like Zachary.
"...it was important that Zachary be squished. The kid had been given his own practice room, a cubical space lined with eggshell foam and scattered with more guitars than Katz had owned in thirty years. Already.... the kid was a more hotdog soloist than Katz had ever been or ever would be. But so were a hundred thousand American high-school boys. So what? Rather than thwarting his father's vicarious rock ambitions by pursuing entomology or interesting himself in financial derivatives, Zachary dutifully aped Jimi Hendrix. Somewhere there had been a failure of imagination."
I think all fair-minded and decent people can all agree that Richard's desire that Zachary should be squished is a just one. And one can wonder whether the same fate should befall the photographic equivalents of Zachary - but what are the photographic equivalents and is everything is tilted to their advantage or am I just making all this up? Why is life so unfair? When am I going to find that bag of £50 notes so I can become like Zachary and have my large format digital doo-dahs with 20x24 prints of everything and not have to get up early in the morning and do things like go to work and wash the dishes?
Squish them indeed, squish 'em like bugs on a wall!
Now then, has Jonathan Frantzen ever seen Peep Show - or am I stretching this one too far.
You can read more on how the wealthy and privileged have taken over rock music here. The story includes some fine made-up statistics like " A new survey into the heritage of modern musical acts has found that 60 per cent of acts in the charts today - attended public school - compared to just one per cent two decades ago."

Mother: The Korean Blow Up?
I loved the Korean film, Mother by Joon-ho Bong,with its provocative sense of ambiguity and uncertainty. The film is about a mother and her hunt for the real killer of a girl whose murder the mother's son has been convicted of.
Especially interesting from a photographic point of view is the role that mobile phone photography plays in the film. In the film (and South Korea in general), mobile phones that have been adapted so they don't bleep when pictures are taken are called 'pervert phones'. The murdered girl had one of these phones and on this phone the mother suspects she will find a picture of the real killer - but the mother is not the only one looking for the phone.
So the film is a contemporary Korean version of Blow-Up, but with a few subplots and ambiguities besides. There is a separation angle to the film, there is gross injustice and an obsessive mother-and-son relationship that ties in with the dangers of both remembering and forgetting - in that sense, the film mirrors Hindi cinema themes of separation, loss and redemption through suffering. In all those Hindi separation films, the symbolic separation is from Pakistan. I wonder if in Mother, the separation, the lost soul of the film is a symbolic North Korea. I don't know, but watch Mother - the best film I've seen since A Prophet.
An interview with Joon-ho Bong, where you'll find out that people dance on buses in South Korea and they do in Turkey too.

Jock Sturges, the Third Floor Gallery and Portraiture with a capital p and a small p
Here are a few interesting posts from over the holidays. The first is from J.Wesley Brown at We can shoot too and he asks what is a portrait. Is it a head and shoulders shot, can those pictures of random figures in the background be a portrait and what of pictures of pictures or screens or posters...
Not sure I know the answer to any of that, but I suspect it is something where the elements of the picture contribute something to the subject being portrayed or vice versa.
The other interesting post was by Elizabeth Fleming guest-posting on A Photo Editor. In this post she asks whether photographers should be held responsible for the recontextualising of their images, on the internet in particular. She also said that the pictures struck her "...as distressingly sexualized and, frankly, unsettling. Jonathan puts it best in his piece when he says that: "even in a world of moral relativity, these images transgressed some basic taboo."
There is a whole can of worms to get oneself into here (not least the twists of Sturges' own life) but I don't think the photographer (or the film-maker, writer or poet) should be held responsible for the recontextualisation of their work. I'm not interested in Sturges' work but I would defend it from charges of criminality. I also think that Sturges pictures are more de-sexualised than anything else - his models might be attractive, skinny Europeans, but barring the lack of clothing in his pictures, it seems to me that he goes out of his way to avoid the sexually suggestive.
Finally, it's over to Blake Andrews for an interview with Joni Karanka about the Third Floor Gallery in Cardiff - another example of people who are just getting on with it despite minimal funding and the immense time and effort involve..

The Artful Dodger and 38 Degrees
This ad appeared in some British newspapers earlier this week. It was made by 38 degrees,
an organisation that is also raising funds through the internet.
This is what they believe in. I believe in that too.
We believe that it's people who should have the power in our society. We help make this happen by making it easy for people to influence the institutions, like the government, who make decisions that affect us all.
We work together in our thousands to defend fairness, protect rights, promote peace, preserve the planet and deepen democracy. Some people might call those goals 'liberal', 'left-of-centre' or 'progressive'. We call them common sense for a better world.

emphas.is
It's fascinating how new media is influencing protest, publicity and fundraising. The three combine in
emphas.is, a kind of horribly-named kickstarter for photography projects. I especially liked this contribution on the emphas.is blog, whereAaron Huey (of Pine Ridge fame) talks about possible funding for putting his Pine Ridge pictures on giant billboards. It seems that the real new deal about funding might be that explicitly political work and models of showing the work are going to be getting funding that they never got before. The killer line is at the end though.
"I definitely hope to go beyond the model of how we get funding, but also to go beyond the model for how we share our images. To come up with a distribution plan that makes the images impossible to ignore. Simple images with simple statistics 60 feet wide on your commute to work. That is real power in the hands of a potential funder.
"The thing with the Pine Ridge project is, at a certain point, I thought, okay, I've made this incredible imagery. So does this all end with a photo show where everybody just drinks wine and pats me on the back? F**k that. It's totally inappropriate. I also don't want someone to pay me to go make another body of work just so it can be another magazine story or a photo exhibition where everybody congratulates me about being great at showing misery. "Now I know that my billboards are not exactly a commercial proposition. I'm actually proposing to not make any money off of this; I'm proposing to put out incredible amounts of effort for the issue. I would have no chance of recouping any life expenses from this, except maybe if it is coupled with a magazine partner. That would be ideal, of course, if someone said: Oh, love the billboard concept, I'd also like to run this as a photo essay. The truth is I do still need magazines to help spread the message.

Sisters RIP: Isabelle Caro and Geraldine Doyle
Isabelle Caro and Geraldine Doyle, star of the Rosie the Riveter poster both died over the holidays. Follow the links above for the stories. I think the idea that the picture of Caro can be inspiring in a thinspirational way serves to show that pictures can be sometimes completely out of our control and that there are possibilities and perspectives that perhaps need to be disregarded.
Isabelle Caro, a French actress and model whose emaciated image appeared in an Italian ad campaign and whose anorexia was followed by other sufferers of eating disorders, has died aged 28. The picture above is by the Oliviero Toscani.
Caro was featured in an ad campaign by the Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani in 2007 for an Italian fashion house. Under the headline "No Anorexia", images across newspapers and billboards showed Caro naked, vertebrae and facial bones protruding.
The ad campaign was launched at a time when the fashion industry was under scrutiny about anorexia, after a 21-year-old Brazilian model died from the eating disorder. Caro's agent, Sylvie Fabregon, said the image was intended "to show what it is like to be anorexic".
Some groups working with anorexics warned that it did a disservice to those afflicted. Images of Caro appeared on pro-anorexia websites; yesterday, one posted a notice about her death and a photo of her, with the caption "die young, stay pretty".

FRENCH FANTASY CD Program Notes:
Travel with us to late 19th and early 20th century France, a land of Fairy Tales and Fables, Princesses and Castles, Lullabies, Waltzes and Marches, and a menagerie of the most interesting of animal species- including Pianists! These French works for piano duet represent delightful music for children composed with simplicity and charm, eloquence and sophistication. Following in the European traditions of composers such as Schumann, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky and Bizet, Saint-Sae¨ns, Fauré and Ravel drew upon literary and artistic inspiration for these collections of piano music miniatures which have become greatly admired by children and adults alike. This CD is dedicated to our own three children, our parents, and the child within us all.
Camille Saint-Saëns: Les Carnaval des Animaux- Carnival of the Animals
Carnival of the Animals has become one of the most beloved works for piano duet, two pianos and chamber ensemble and two pianos with full orchestra. Comprised of 14 short pieces portraying different animals, Saint-Saëns was not particularly proud of this work which he composed in 1886, and refused to have it published or performed during his lifetime, with the exception of The Swan- one of the most famous of all melodies performed by cellists. His portrayal of different types of animals utilizes techniques of imagery and imitation with creative use of figuration and orchestral colors, even in the piano versions. There is great humor, mockery and sarcasm in many of the pieces, including the L'Elephant which contains quotes from Berlioz and Mendelssohn , and Tortoises, which quotes from Offenbach's "Can-Can" in an exceedingly slow fashion. Hints of Mussorgsky's own Pictures at an Exhibition come through in Poules et Coqs and Le Coucou. Pianistes mocks the Czerny exercises so many pianists dislike practicing, while pitting two pianists against each other highlights the level of competition and comparison of virtuoso pianists already common in the 19th century. The Finale is a brilliant conclusion which combines all the themes from the previous thirteen vignettes as well as quotes from the famous French Folk Song, Ah! Vous dirai-je maman, known as Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. This performance is a transcription for One Piano, Four Hands, by Lucien Garban.
Gabriel Fauré: Dolly Suite, Opus 56
The Dolly Suite for piano duet was composed by Fauré́ between 1893-1896, for the daughter of his mistress, Emma Baldac, known as "Dolly". Each piece commemorates a special person, pet, event or birthday in Dolly's life. Berceuse is a lullaby or cradle song with a beautiful lilt and haunting melody. Messieu Aoul was a nickname for her brother, Raoul, and is a lively dance-like piece in 3/4 time with shifting accents. Jardin de Dolly is a lyrical piece in E major with a sense of reminiscence and nostalgia. Ketty-Valse is a lively portrait of the Baldac's dog, Ketty. Tendresse is the most modern and chromatic piece of the set, with unusual harmonic shifts that foreshadow the later impressionistic and contemporary music of French composers such as Ravel. The Pas Espagnol is a fast dance with imitation of castanets in the opening thematic motive.
Maurice Ravel: Ma mère l'Oye- Cinq Pieces Enfantines- Mother Goose Suite
Originally premiered in 1910 by the Societe Musicale Independante as a piano duet composed for two young children, this collection of five short pieces is based on several popular fairy tales- Beauty and the Beast, Tom Thumb, The Green Serpent. The Empress features a whole-tone pentatonic figuration and gong-like sonorities which so colorfully depicts the music from East Asia, found so appealing by French Impressionists like Ravel and Debussy. Ravel's Mother Goose Suite is magical and mystical in its melodic and harmonic constructs and sonorous beauty, and has delighted audiences in both its original and orchestrated versions.
Deriving from a common French musical background, these composers share much of the same traditions and attention to atmospheric beauty and color. Note how Ravel makes use of canonic imitation in the third piece, Laideronette, as Faure does in the middle section of Tendresse, while Saint-Saens utilizes this same technique to great effect in the opening Introduction and in the Poules and Coqs. Listen to the gentle arpeggiation figuration in Saint-Saens' The Swan, which Faure also employs in Jardin de Dolly. The difference between these three composers, of course, lies in their conceptualizations and harmonic language. All three works contain some of the most beautiful melodies and inventive characterizations of popular tales and tails.

The Frist Center is once again partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank this holiday season. Through December, they will offer free admission on Mondays to guests who donate nonperishable food items that will be given to children, families, and seniors in need.
The items most needed this year are peanut butter, canned chicken and tuna, canned vegetables and fruit, pasta and cereal. Since 2012, visitors to the Frist Center have contributed 12,012 pounds of food, which equates to 10,009 meals.
Thursday, November 5, 6:30–7:30 p.m.
In conjunction with the Center for Latin American Studies at Vanderbilt University, the Frist Center presents a lecture by acclaimed journalist and author Sam Quinones, known for his work on the drug trade and marginalized populations of Latin America. His talk will provide context to the themes of loss explored in their new exhibition, Phantom Bodies: The Human Aura in Art.
Nashville is renowned for its love of storytelling in words, images, and voices. For years, the city has been home to major publishing houses, printing presses, nationally recognized writing programs, and great authors, poets, journalists, and songwriters. Anthology: Visual Narratives from Nashville's Print Community is a juried exhibition that celebrates this ongoing tradition by presenting the works of individual artists and small presses who use a variety of printing techniques to tell stories through images and text.
The work exhibited in Anthology was selected by a jury, consisting of Katie Baldwin, assistant professor of book arts and printmaking at the University of Alabama in Huntsville; Liz Coleman, reference librarian and galleries coordinator at the Nashville Public Library; and Mark Scala, the Frist Center's chief curator. The exhibition opens Friday and will be on view in the Conte Community Arts Gallery through February 7.


Semisynthetic drug derived from morphine. Discovered in 1874, it was introduced commercially in 1898 by the bayer company in germany. The name heroin was coined from the german heroisch meaning heroic, strong. Heroin is stronger (more potent) than morphine.


Little known fact: any Omega Speedmaster issued by NASA is always and forever the property of the United States government – unless they expressly gift it to someone, which doesn't happen often. That means that every single Omega Speedmaster that ever made it into the space, much moreso onto the moon, belongs to Uncle Sam. That, in turn, means that the chance to own a watch that has been to the moon is not something that will happen. Except now, all of the sudden, it's happening. Up for sale is Apollo 15 Astronaut Dave Scott's personal Bulova chronograph. Yup, now is your chance own an actual moon watch.

That means that every single Omega Speedmaster that ever made it into the space, much more so onto the moon, belongs to Uncle Sam. That, in turn, means that the chance to own a watch that has been to the moon is not something that will happen. Except now, all of the sudden, it's happening. Up for sale is Apollo 15 Astronaut Dave Scott's personal Bulova chronograph. Yup, now is your chance own an actual moon watch.
See that photo up top? That's Dave Scott on the moon. On the outside of his left wrist? His Bulova chronograph. The chronograph was actually worn on a NASA-issued velcro strap that still remains with the watch. What's more is the watch still has residue on it from not only Scott's time on the lunar surface, but also wear and tear from re-entry.
Below is the official supply list for Apollo 15, and you can see the velcro strap included. What is amazing about this watch is that it is being consigned directly by the astronaut himself, and there is truly no doubt about its history or provenance.
Oh, and check the inventory number above, then compare it to the strap below. Yup, this is the realest of the real, folks.
Included in the sale will be several photographs of Scott wearing the Bulova in action, such as the photos below.
The watch to my eye is absolutely gorgeous. The patina on the case, the dust and scratches on the crystal, the worn NASA-issued strap are just perfect. Sure, this isn't an Omega Speedmaster but the watch is damn cool, and this is arguably the solitary watch to be worn on the moon that will ever come up for sale – so think of the opportunity.
Mr. Scott's personal Bulova Chronograph, the only lunar-worn watch in private hands will be sold by RR Auction in its upcoming space sale. The sale will take place over a period of some days and bidding begins online on October 15th. The estimate for this insanely cool chronograph is $50,000. You can read more about it here.

Q: Where do I go after finding a key in Queen Vanessa's fridge? Chapter 3: Subcon Forest, Act 4 takes place Inside Queen Vanessa's Manor. Soon after encountering Vanessa for the first time, I found a key in a refrigerator next to a room with a piano.
Queen Vanessa is patrolling the hallway just outside the kitchen. Any time I try to leave, she catches and kills me.
Where am I supposed to go after finding the key in Queen Vanessa's fridge?

A: That key is for the piano.
If you come close to the piano you'll see the keyhole. After opening it, jump on top of the piano and something will change.

Raising awareness about the importance of intangible cultural heritage (point 6 on the agenda)
Questionnaire on raising awareness about intangible cultural heritage:
English|French
At its 3rd session (Istanbul, Turkey, from 4 to 8 November 2008), the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage had an extensive discussion on the visibility of intangible heritage, which is considered a central aspect for safeguarding intangible heritage.
The Committee suggested that the scope of these draft directives should be enlarged to encompass all aspects related to raising awareness about intangible heritage and the Convention at the national and international levels (refer to the annex 2 of the questionnaire), and requested the Secretariat to consult States Parties further on this issue and to prepare a new working document for the 4th session of the Committee.
Submissions should be sent by using preferably the questionnaire (English|French), in one of the working languages of the Committee (English or French), by email to Mr. Fernando Brugman (f.brugman@unesco.org), with a copy to Ms Monique Cissé (m.cisse@unesco.org), no later than 15 May 2009.

Infiniti to produce FX Sebastian Vettel Version crossover
As its first high-performance project vehicle
As if to celebrate Sebastian Vettel's second Formula 1 driver's title, Infiniti has revealed that it is producing the FX Sebastian Vettel Version. Based on the FX midsize luxury crossover, the FX Sebastian Vettel Version bears the German driver's input on its engine, styling and aerodynamics.
According to Infiniti executive vice president Andy Palmer, the FX Sebastian Vettel Version somewhat serves as the pilot project for the Infiniti Performance Line (IPL), which will compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz AMG and BMW M brand.
"We wanted to test the organization, can the organization cope with these kind of special versions," said Palmer. "This is one of the first versions that will go to market. Not as an IPL--it'll obviously go as the Sebastian Vettel special version, but it demonstrates we're able to do these low volume, very special versions and be able to charge a premium for that kind of work. Again, hopefully, with Sebastian now the world champion, the demand for his special version is going to be that much higher."

Very good moisturizer. Only a tiny ammount is needed and worked on driest parts of my hand.
My wife is very pleased with it. Nice scent and not greasy.
Being wintertime in Canada my hands always seem to be dry. I've tried many different hand creams, all of which came in a tube. Some have been good, others not so much. Which is why I decided to try this hand balm, out of a small tin. And I am glad I did. Non greasy, easily absorbed and nicely scented, this one does the trick!


We were travelling down south and this is what we saw. On being asked the obvious question – what happened – the gentleman said – no – not the one sitting on the motorcycle, but the one standing with folded hands, "Sir, I am pleading him not to use motorcycle as his car. He seems to be not understanding that a two-wheeler is of '2-wheels', so five people can't sit. I am not able to understand how he decided to travel like this, risking all his family. Tomorrow if something happens, they will blame Police for not maintaining law & order. But he seems to be adamant on me to not take fine (challan) but let him go. I GIVE UP".


Remarkably, Clinton was enjoying these crosscurrents. He was again liberated by his central insight into foreign policy: It was just like domestic politics, but in a different forum. As leaders descended on Washington, Clinton was working them as if he was trying to pass an education bill in the Arkansas legislature.
….Alas, none of these tools work as well in Baghdad as they do in Washington. Promising to build a bridge in Muqtada Sadr's district or funnel cash to his campaign is unlikely to mollify the Shiite strongman. Iraqi democracy, in its primitive state, has yet to develop the equivalent of K Street.
When it comes to crafting policies that are good, rather than policies that merely seem good to an inattentive public, the Bush administration turns out to be awful. You can insist that 125,000 troops are enough to reconstruct Iraq, just as you can insist that $400 billion is enough to pay for the Medicare bill. The difference is, the effects of higher federal debt can be obscured for a long time. But when Iraqi reconstruction has essentially halted, some two-thirds of the population lacks employment and terrorists and other armed thugs are roaming freely throughout Iraqi cities, lies can get you only so far.
I think this is fundamentally correct. Clinton, partly by nature and partly because he had to deal with a Republican Congress during most of his term, instinctively understood that America's foreign policy goals are best accomplished via persuasion and compromise. Bush, partly by nature and partly because he has no domestic opposition to speak of, instinctively believes that successful foreign policy is best accomplished via hectoring and stubbornness.
He is learning, to his sorrow, that he's wrong.

Chiefs running back Robert Holmes (center) rushing against the Raiders in the championship game.
The Chiefs went on to win the Super Bowl against the Minnesota Vikings, in a final showing of the AFL and its strength. Kansas City is the only team in the Super Bowl era to win the title without allowing as much as 10 points in any postseason game.
The two leagues merged into one after this game, with the ten AFL teams and three NFL teams (Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Colts, and Cleveland Browns) forming the American Football Conference. Super Bowl V was the first game for that conference, which the Colts won. The Chiefs have not yet won an AFC Championship, having only appeared twice, most recently in 2018. Conversely, the Raiders have appeared in eleven, winning four and losing seven; their last appearance (and win) was in 2002.

Oh, Deer! Fawn Runs Down a Freshman in National Cross-Country Meet
Despite tripping over an unexpected course intruder, Kayla Casaletto helps her team win a championship.

Cedarville runner struck by deer during race https://t.co/zKudBDMdkC pic.twitter.com/qMCCnZnCpu
— Dayton Daily News (@daytondailynews) November 16, 2015
Among the hazards on the National Christian College Athletic Association's cross-country championship course: singletrack trail, forest, and deer.
On a loop through dense woods about a half-mile into the race—held in Houghton, New York, this past weekend—freshman Kayla Casaletto, from Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio, saw bushes and trees shaking next to the course, according to the Dayton Daily News.
"There were these loud, like, crunching noises," she said in the article. "We were thinking, what is that? Then this deer just blazes out of the forest and I had no time to think. It ran straight into my legs and knocked me over."
The deer was only about three feet tall, according to the article. "It was a pretty young one. I would have been in a lot more pain if it had been a buck," she said.
Casaletto told the Dayton Daily News that she laughed off the encounter as fellow teammates and competitors asked if she was okay. She popped up and finished the 5K in 18:41, enough to score points and finish fourth in her team's lineup.
The Cedarville men's and women's teams both won championship titles. They celebrated by singing "Kayla Got Ran Over by a Reindeer" on the bus ride after the meet.

How Do Branches Work in Git?
The history of changes in a project is a linear timeline of events. Each change, one after another, is recorded in chronological order.
Having one linear history is great. You can see all the changes that led to any version of the project.
The problem is that a single, linear history is restrictive. How so? Let's say you are working on a project. For an easy example, let's take this article you're reading now. I'm writing away, explaining what branches are and how they work in Git. Because I'm using Git to track changes to the article, I have a nice, linear, timeline of all my changes. But let's say I wake up one morning and decide that the article would be clearer and easier to understand if I organize it a different way. Wouldn't it be great if I could try my wild new ideas in a new branch--an alternate timeline that runs parallel to my main or master timeline? That way I can track all my changes as I work in the new branch, but if I don't like the way the new branch works out, I can simply hop back onto the master branch. And if I do like the way it works out, I can merge all the changes in the alternate branch into the master branch, thereby uniting the previously diverged timelines.
Now, the example above may sound contrived, but I really am tracking this writing project (and the website that serves it) in Git, and I really do branch to try out experimental changes. Once you've tried it, you'll see how handy it is. If you've ever written a long document, changed a bunch of stuff only to realize that you liked it better the other way (some unknown number of changes in the past), you know how painful it is to try to get back to a specific version. If instead you create a new branch to try out an experiment, it's absurdly easy to get back to where you were.
Of course Git is much more commonly used for software projects than writing projects. How is branching useful in programming? There are many, many ways branching is not only useful, but downright indispensable. One way is analogous to my writing example: trying out experimental features. Maybe the changes you're playing with will be great and merged back into the master branch, or maybe they'll be terrible, and you'll be glad they haven't polluted the master branch. Other ways include: fixing bugs in specific versions of the code, submitting versions for review while proceeding to work on the next version, and creating new features to be merged upon completion. At any given time, you may have multiple branches in a single project, each branch serving a different purpose.
If branching is a new concept to you, it's likely you won't fully appreciate the power of branching until you've done it a few times. But, trust me, you will learn to love it.
If you have experience with branching in other VCSes, I think you'll like how Git handles branching--probably more than how they're handled in your current VCS. Easy, elegant branching is one of Git's major strengths.
Ask any Git enthusiast why they like Git, and excellent branching is one of the first things they'll mention.
Let's explore an overview of how branches work in Git and see what all the hubbub is about.
Creating new branches and switching between branches in Git is fast and easy. It's so trivially easy that it encourages branching, which is enormously beneficial to workflow. Need to fix a bug? Want to try out an experimental feature? Create a branch. It's quick and easy. I described basic branch examples ahead in the next section, "A Simple Example of Branching", and you will see how easy it is.
Git helps you merge branches. Creating branches easily is fine and well, but you'll often want to merge those branches back into the master branch. Git provides a powerful and systematic way of merging branches and handling conflicts that arise along the way.
Git branches are tidy because there is only one working tree, no matter how many branches you create. The versions of the files in your working directory are determined by which branch is active. Let's say you have two branches: the master branch, and an experimental branch. When you switch from the master branch to the experimental branch, the files in your working directory instantly transform to the versions relevant to the experimental branch. When you switch to the master branch, the files in your working directory instantly transform to the versions relevant to the master branch. In other words, you needn't have a separate clone of your project for each branch. The single working tree changes, depending on which branch you're using.
"I am a line that ends in foo."
"I am a line that ends in bar."
That's a pretty silly example, but you can sense how powerful this arrangement is when working with multiple changes in multiple files in your project's source code. With a single command, you transform your entire project to another state or version all in a single working tree.
Now that your appetite is whetted, let's dive into an actual example of branching in Git and learn the basic git branching commands.
This example will be very simple. Soon enough, we'll dive into trickier branching, but for now you need only master the basic concepts, and a simple example will do just fine.
To follow along with the example, you must already have Git installed. If you don't have it installed, please see Installing Git. Otherwise, feel free to read this section without following along, and return to it when you have Git up and running later.
Three simple commands, and we have our new repository. Trivially easy, no?
In Git, the default branch is the master branch. So, right from the very beginning of our brand new repository we're in a branch. How can we tell? Let's look at a few ways of determining which branch is active.
So far, we only have one branch--the master branch--so the command lists just one branch. When we have more branches (as we will in a few moments), it will list all the branches. The active branch is indicated by the *.
See the line that says "# On branch master"? Well, that's where you are; on the branch called "master."
Now, it's really time to branch, so let's do it.
There's more than one way to create a new branch, but this is perhaps the simplest. The "test" at the end of the command is the name of our new branch. Not very creative perhaps, but it'll do. I could have said "git branch flamingo", but alas I did not.
Hooray! There it is. Notice that it doesn't have a * next to it. Master is still the currently active branch. We're created the test branch, but we haven't switched to it yet.
Notice that test is now active. You can use git-checkout to switch back and forth between branches, but since--as we discussed in the last section--git transforms the files in the sole working tree whenever you switch branches, and since our testfile contains the same string in both branches, this isn't very interesting yet.
Let's make it more interesting by changing the contents of testfile in one of the branches. Go ahead and use git-checkout to switch to the test branch (if you switched away from it in your glee). Not sure which branch you're on? Remember: git-branch will show you where you are.
$ git commit -a -m "Added a second sentence."
Created commit de87f1f: Added a second sentence.
I am a line that ends in foo.
I am another line of text.


Carl-Wilhelm Reinhold de Boor (born 3 December 1937) is a German-American mathematician and professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Born in Stolp, Germany (now, as part of Poland, called Słupsk), as the 7th of 8 children born to Werner (an anti-Nazi Lutheran minister) and Toni de Boor in 1937, he fled in 1945 with his family, settling eventually in Schwerin, then part of East Germany. As a child, he was often ill, suffering from a variety of conditions. In 1955, young Carl took advantage of the temporary political thaw following Joseph Stalin's death in 1953, obtained a 1-month visa to West Germany and biked there, then decided to stay when he learned there that his application to Humboldt University (in East Berlin) for the study of chemistry had been turned down (because of his poor performance in mathematics). However, Otto Friedrich (a brother of Carl's father's first wife) was willing and able to help him. Two years later, he met and fell in love with Otto's niece, Matilda Friedrich, the daughter of Carl Friedrich, the political scientist and constitutional scholar. With the support of the Friedrich family, Carl emigrated to the United States in 1959, learning English on his trip across the Atlantic (he could read Beatrix Potter when he boarded the boat).
In 1997 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and he received the 2003 National Medal of Science in mathematics. Other honors have included election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1987 and the National Academy of Engineering in 1993, honorary degrees from Purdue University and Technion (the Israel Institute of Technology), as well as membership in the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in Germany and the Polish Academy of Science. He won the John von Neumann Prize from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 1996 and the John A. Gregory Award of Geometric Design in 2009.
Carl is a lover of music—especially classical, and more especially Johann Sebastian Bach—walks, good food, and games of all sorts. In 1981, he bought his first personal computer, an Apple II with 32KB of memory with an old reel-to-reel tape recorder hooked up to store programs. He required his children to write any computer games they wished to play. With them he wrote an accounting program for tracking his checkbook, which he kept using long after the kids went to college, though he had to edit the program to use the Z key for recording a new transaction when the R key finally wore out, as well as implementations of a number of his children's favorite board games.
He is a lover of the quirky and easily enthralled by art. He used to keep a print of The Garden of Earthly Delights in his dining room, to the distress of some of his children, and others.
During his Madison years, he played the bass drum in the neighborhood 4 July Parade, and each August celebrates his arrival in America, where he is a citizen.
