Artist Lynn Basa understands the power of art to be a positive force in communities.
She is interested in the varied ways that artists are intersecting with public life. From more traditional "public art" to creative placemaking to socially engaged practice.
I talked with Lynn, author of The Artist's Guide to Public Art: How to Find and Win Commissions, for the Art Biz Podcast. In particular, we focused on The Corner Project, an art space and community revitalization effort she founded in the blighted neighborhood of her Chicago studio in 2017.
Every single artist … [brings] with them a certain amount of agency and value to wherever they are. They can do so much more. … It's a paradigm shift that happens in your head where you start realizing that "I have something of value that I can contribute to society at large," rather than just making an object and hoping it gets sold for enough money and that you can make a living.
You'll also hear her speak this truth: Art is a billion dollar business, and someone has to do it.
I think you'll be inspired to think big and make a difference in your community after you listen to this episode.
Every contact you have with someone is an opportunity to wow them with your art and your professionalism, so you don't want to miss the chance to wow from the beginning.
Robert Mapplethorpe knew this. For his first solo exhibition in 1973 at New York's Light Gallery – a show of Polaroids – Mapplethorpe's invitation was a hand-printed image from a Polaroid original.
Mapplethorpe embossed his name on the outer edge, included the protective Polaroid cover, and inserted everything into hand-addressed, cream-colored Tiffany envelopes.
His invitation was a work of art in itself because, he believed, an exhibition doesn't begin when you go to the opening, but when you receive the invitation.
The moment people hear about the show, they start judging. Will it be any good? Who else will show up? Is it worth my time? Is there something better I could do that night?
What experience do people have when they get an invitation from you?
Here are 7 ways to use your invitation to wow guests and set the tone for your exhibition.
1. Send it via post.
The simple act of putting a stamp on an envelope and dropping it into a mailbox automatically increases the prestige of your exhibition.
In these days of email reliance, almost anything you send real mail will get more attention than if it were sent via email.
Since I started my art career, I had this one figure in my head that if I made that figure as my annual income, then I would consider myself successful. I also made this my Art Biz Accelerator income goal. Well, I just tallied up my annual income for 2018, and I EXCEEDED THAT FIGURE!!!!
I love seeing messages like this one from Sabra Lynne Crockett in my inbox, and I think it's important for artists to see what is possible when you apply your knowledge.
Before, I enrolled in the Art Career Success System, I was directionless. I was flitting from one project to another. Now I have a vision, and a plan to make it happen through actionable goals. Quantifying my accomplishments shows me that I'm not just spinning my wheels.
ABS: How did you shift your focus?
Before I even knew that the Art Career Success System existed, I had to get myself in the mindset that I was an artist. It took me almost two decades to declare that I was an artist, even though I made my living doing artistic things.
I always skirted around the idea. I would be asked, "Are you an artist?" I would say things like, "Well, no. I'm a decorative artist", or," I am a scenic artist." I was limited by my own thinking. It was when I made the declaration to myself, and owned the label "artist" that the floodgates of opportunity opened up for me.
One of the opportunities that arose was enrolling in all four courses of the Art Career Success System.
ABS: What has made the biggest difference?
Missy Graff Ballone, artist and founder of Wellness for Makers, joins the show to discuss the importance of taking care of your most precious asset for making art: your body.
She shares her own background as an artist, massage therapist and yoga instructor, and why she saw a need to provide resources that help artists take care of their bodies so they can make more art, and in turn, run their businesses. She also provides tools artists can use to get started in their new journey towards better health.
How she blended her background as an artist, massage therapist, and yoga instructor to motivate and empower artists through education, mindful living, and movement.
Why she felt it important to teach artists accessible self-care to improve the longevity of their bodies, and ultimately their careers.
How it's never too late to invest in yourself and focus on the key assets—your body and health!
The importance of creating extra variety in your movements in the studio.
How we can become more consciously aware of the patterns we create within our bodies, and the most common ailments artists typically endure.
Some gentle techniques and tools that she finds important and effective.
The theme of resilience and how it relates to wellness for artists.
You are in charge of your art career.
This means you are the person who decides what to do immediately and what can wait for tomorrow, next week, or next month.
This sounded ideal until you realized how hard it is to prioritize your life and business by yourself.
You might have been accustomed to a boss telling you where to focus your energy. No more.
Entrepreneurship issued a wake-up call. You want freedom? Here it is! Go decide for yourself.
If you're actively looking for opportunities, as you should be, there will be a time when you have more opportunities than you realistically have the bandwidth for. You'll be hit with new invitations and requests from all corners.
But it's unrealistic to involve yourself in every opportunity that comes your way.
Intellectually, you understand this. Emotionally, you want to believe you are somehow superhuman.
The projects might be exhibitions, commissions, licensing deals, wholesale contracts, teaching possibilities, separate jobs, or something else. They're all projects that beg for your time, and they sound so exciting!
Your resolve is being tested by a voice that some people call a gremlin or troll. I call it The Tester.
How serious is she about this other project—really?
How good is he at knowing what he wants and needs?
All good entrepreneurs struggle with decisions in moments like these, especially if there is the potential for a big pay off at the end.
Artist Gwen Fox describes a situation many artists have found themselves in.
You know the scenario. Your work was selected for a prestigious art show and during the show you happen to overhear a man talking about your work. As you listen, your heart sinks. He hates your painting.
The man then moves on to reveal his ignorance while commenting on several other paintings, yet what he said about yours has destroyed your confidence.
For the rest of the evening you don't hear all the glowing remarks about your work. You keep replaying what the man said over and over in your mind. By bedtime your confidence in yourself and your art dwells in an empty vile hole.
Thoughts keep running through your mind. He was right, my work just isn't good enough. Or … I knew down deep I wasn't a real artist!
Your confidence has been stolen so now what can you do?
Lack of confidence is something we all struggle with at one time or another. In this episode of the Art Biz Podcast, you'll hear guest Gwen Fox discuss this critical topic that sidelines so many artists at one point or another.
As an artist and one-person business owner, you are the talented maker, gregarious promoter, delightful conversationalist, and head honcho. It's easy to be overwhelmed by all of these simultaneous roles.
Know that you are not alone. Perhaps it's comforting to know that every artist at every level seeks more effective time management skills.
The first truth I want to share is this: It's impossible to manage time. The clocks keep ticking and the sun continues to rise and set. There's not much you can do about that.
Rather than talking about Time management, you need to focus on Self management. Use these 7 tips and be comforted by the second truth at the end.
1. Learn to say No (and mean it).
When you are very clear on your goals, it's easier to say No to the opportunities and requests that don't serve your long-term goals. This is the hardest lesson you'll learn when trying to build your art business. If you master saying No, you'll master yourself and your business.
Invitations bombard you from every direction, and you have to have the strength to know what is critical to add to your calendar and, more importantly, what doesn't deserve a place on your schedule.
2. Turn repeated tasks into systems.
Stop reinventing the steps it takes to publish a newsletter or blog post, or to promote an exhibition. Create reliable systems for every task you undertake on a regular basis. Well-defined systems will save your behind and help you rest easily.
A system is a series of steps that answer the following questions.
At the end of a recent email to me, Inner Circle alumnus Margaret Dukeman added the following sentence.
Big thanks to you for the power that you have instilled in me and the ability to move my career forward with purpose and determination!
I'm always thrilled to hear that a client's investment paid off and her business is moving forward. So I continued the conversation to find out more in hopes that it would help other artists.
ABS: This is great to hear. I have to ask: What has made the biggest difference for you?
MD: Over the last year, I've realized how valuable it is to have a family of artists and advisors around me.
With this family, I've been to say Yes to projects that have been beneficial to my career simply because I had trusted people in the Art Biz Inner Circle that I could approach with questions and for support.
Being a part of the family has also helped me develop my writing skills, which has given me power to speak about my art and stand by it passionately. The more I write the better my presentations and written words become.
As you have said you need to be able to communicate your art. No one could have told me how important writing would be as it was never stressed. Starting your course with an open mind was part of what I promised myself I would do … no matter what was asked of me.
There were times during the Magnetic You class when I wasn't sure why I was writing yet one more page only to find a treasure at the end of that process. I have found that I enjoy creative writing when given the quiet time and space to dig deep. I am hoping to get even deeper into my writing in the coming year. I want to get to the point where it flows easily.
ABS: I'm curious. What single Art Biz Success program would you most recommend to other artists?

Raymond Boyd/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty ImagesIt took more than five years, but the cast of the upcoming NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton is apparently set.
Sources tell Billboard, Ice Cube's son O'Shea Jackson Jr. will portray his father as a teen in film about the ground-breaking 1980s West Coast rap group that launched the career of Cube and Dr. Dre.
The role of Dre will be played by Marcus Callender, who has appeared in Criminal Justice on HBO and small roles in the CBS series Blue Bloods and Elementary. The mega producer reportedly wanted Michael B. Jordan from The Wire cast in his role, however Jordan is not available because he is filming The Fantastic Four.
The late Eazy-E's widow, Tomica Wright, was involved in selecting the man who will portray her husband, a man with no acting experience, Jason Mitchell, who reportedly won the role with a great screen test.
Production is scheduled to begin in the summer.


On Wednesday, January 4, the New York State Legislature began its 2017 Legislative Session. Several gun control bills had already been introduced by the end of the first day, and dozens more are expected by the end of session. Despite failed attempts to pass microstamping for over a decade, anti-gun lawmakers in Albany are once again trying to pass this unworkable, anti-gun legislation. S.470, sponsored by state Senator Jose Peralta, would do nothing to improve public safety as microstamping is easily circumvented by common household tools. The bill however, would severely impact honest, law-abiding gun owners by driving up the price of firearms and ammunition. Please contact your Assemblyman and Senator, respectfully urging them to oppose S.470 and also vote to repeal the SAFE Act.
It is important that gun owners and sportsmen across the state of New York stay actively involved throughout the New Year as well as stay-tuned to NRA-ILA email alerts and www.NRAILA.org as the session progresses.
Your NRA-ILA will continue to work hard to promote and protect your Second Amendment rights, and keep you updated on the status of legislation impacting your Second Amendment rights in New York.

Disney just released the first teaser trailer for Christopher Robin, and it features the most important reunion you'll see all day — sorry, not sorry, The Bachelor. Christopher Robin is all grown up and living in London, but it's clear he's in need of a trip back to the Hundred Acre Wood to reunite with some old pals.
The trailer finds a tired, jaded adult Christopher Robin (played by Ewan McGregor), working tirelessly under an unwaveringly terrible boss, who is commanding that he skip a family weekend away in order to work. Naturally, Christopher Robin is feeling pretty lost and empty of the imagination he possessed as a kid — but no worries because a certain honey-loving bear is here to save the day.
That's right, after many years apart, Winnie the Pooh has ventured out of the wood and onto the mean streets of London to help bring magic back to the life of his childhood best friend.
The film finds our lost Christopher Robin reuniting with Pooh (Jim Cummings) and the rest of the gang from the Hundred Acre Woods, including Tigger (Chris O'Dowd), Eeyore (Brad Garrett), Rabbit (Peter Capaldi), Piglet (Nick Mohammed), Kanga (Sophie Okonedo), and Owl (Toby Jones), who are on a mission to restore Robin's imaginative spirit. Hayley Atwell, Mark Gatiss, and Bronte Carmichael also star in the film.
Christopher Robin, directed by Finding Neverland's Marc Forster, is scheduled to hit theaters on August 3rd.


"I've read a lot of good memoirs, but it's a rare talent that can weave together so many threads -- family, love, literature, career angst -- so effortlessly as Leslie does in The Reading List."
"[F]lawlessly transitions between the two storylines.... As the story progresses you'll find yourself itching to keep reading, just as anxious as Rita to uncover the truth of her mother's past."
internment had a shattering cultural effect on Japanese Americans. Shimotakahara's writing is personal and entrancing, unflinchingly shining a light on this difficult part of history."
"After the Bloom is deeply moving and enthralling with scenes that will remain with readers long after the ending. This book is just the beginning of a brilliant career for this captivating new voice."


An unnamed narrator introduces Soaphead Church, a self proclaimed "misanthrope", who hates people and find's the human body ugly and filthy. The closest he gets to human relationships is by collecting the items they have touched, used, and thrown away. In the community, Soaphead Church is a failed preacher turned caseworker, declaring himself a "reader, adviser, and interpreter of dreams." He enjoys the job because it allows him to witness human stupidity and build a sense of his own meticulous self-righteousness by witnessing human decay. His life is strictly regimented, balanced, and tightly structured, but his stability is thrown off by his sexual desire. Because he hates the human body with such passion, he directs his sexual desires toward children, as he finds their bodies the less offensive than those of adults.
Like Geraldine, Soaphead Church is another example of how obsession with whiteness destroys black lives. He is obsessed with cleanliness and discipline, which are indicators of whiteness. This obsession leads to perverted sexual desires for children, and a feeling of superiority, which results in isolation from the community.
Soaphead Church is a cinnamon-eyed West Indian man with light brown skin. His family is proud of their academic accomplishments and white heritage. A British Nobleman introduced the "white strain" into Soaphead Church's family in the early 1800's, leaving the child and his mother with a small sum of money before abandoning them. The child becomes a man who is obsessed with his white heritage and instills this obsession in his progeny. With the feeling of superiority that stems from their white ancestry, the family members do well in school. They go into medicine, law, and theology, gaining prestigious positions, but abusing their power to exploit "the less gifted" in the process. Members of the family are encouraged to marry others with light skin, and those who cannot find a light skinned partner marry within the family.
Soaphead Church's obsession with whiteness begins with his family. The family has constructed their identity based on their white heritage. The "white strain" becomes their most important asset, as it allows them limited access to the white world. This obsession, however, leads to a hatred of their black ancestry, self-hatred, and even incestuous marriages to preserve the white heritage. Education becomes another defining characteristic of the family's whiteness, and through education they are able to attain positions of power. These positions of power, however, allow the family to continue the legacy of racial oppression.
Soaphead Church was born as Elihue Micah Whitcomb, the son of a schoolmaster and a half-Chinese mother who died shortly after childbirth. As a child, Soaphead Church reads voraciously, immersing himself in the works of writers who considered themselves misanthropes, but instead of expanding intellectually and morally through literature, he interprets the texts in ways that suit his own views. His father's violence and strict discipline force him to develop rigid habits and a hatred of disorder and decay.
Soaphead Church's upbringing contributes to his hatred of his own black heritage. The hatred of disorder and decay instilled in him by his father later translates into a hatred of blackness, which he associated with these things. The books Soaphead Church reads reinforce and justify his hatred of others, and his interpretations keep these views from being challenged.
At seventeen, Soaphead Church meets a woman named Velma, and marries. She is drawn to his meticulous habits and lack of humor, as she desires to introduce him to the pleasure and joy of life. After two months of marriage, however, Velma realizes that she will never change him, and leaves. Soaphead returns to his father and focuses on his studies to avoid the pain of being abandoned by his wife. He decides to join the ministry, but after he is told that he has no calling, he leaves for the United States. He studies psychology, sociology, and physical therapy, until his father eventually refuses to support anymore him until he "finds himself". Eventually, Soaphead Church moves to Lorain, Ohio, and claims that he is a preacher. The community is impressed by the way he speaks English and the women believe he is a supernatural figure because of his celibacy. They give him the name Soaphead Church, and he assumes the identity they provide for him.
The obsession with cultivating whiteness makes Soaphead Church unable to shed his habits and seriousness, which thwarts his relationship with Velma, his chance at love in the real world. He turns to his studies, which allow him to move toward whiteness, and simultaneously avoid the pain of losing his marriage or of living in the real world. He remains unable live up to his father's request to "find himself", since self-discovery would mean confronting his black heritage. Instead, he moves to Loraine and assumes a role that allows him to feel closer to his white ancestry, as an educated, superior, supernaturally inclined "leader" of sorts.
Soaphead Church moves in with a woman named Bertha Reese. He doesn't mind living with her because she is clean, quiet, and orderly, but he hates her dog, Bob. Because of the dog's uncleanliness, Soaphead Church wishes Bob would hurry up and die. He considers his wish humane because the dog is old, but he never considers that his own comfort may be the source of the wish. He buys poison to kill the dog, but is unable to go through with killing it because he can't bear the thought of going near the dirty animal.
His deep hatred of Bob's uncleanliness, which he associates with his own blackness, inspires him to wish death upon the dog. His views, distorted by the self-righteousness—which in reality masks his self-hatred—make him unable to see the cruelty of this wish. This same thinking later allows him to trick Pecola into killing the dog.
Soaphead Church begins counseling community members who come to him for advice. They bring their maladies, concerns, and wishes to him, asking for help. Because of the sad nature of those who came to him for help, Soaphead Church becomes aware that something is wrong with the world and blames it on God for designing an imperfect universe. He believes he could have done a better job than God.
Soaphead Church's self-righteousness and vanity, which serve as defenses against his own racial self-hatred, become so extreme that he believes he is superior to God, demonstrating the way that worship of whiteness distorts black views of themselves and the world.
One day Pecola knocks on Soaphead's door. She comes into his house, holding her hands over her pregnant stomach. When he asks Pecola what he can do for her, she asks if he can give her blue eyes. He tells Pecola that she must make an offering to nature. He goes into his icebox and pulls out some meat, and then he poisons it and tells Pecola to give it to the dog, Bob, sleeping on the front porch. He says that if the dog behaves strangely, God has heard her prayer. Pecola gives the poisoned meat to the dog, which promptly kills the animal. Terrified by the sight of the dying dog, Pecola runs home.
Soaphead Church, like his ancestors, abuses the power he has gained through his white heritage to exploit Pecola for his own ends. Pecola's deep desire for blue eyes—driven by her own self-hatred, which has only increased after her father raped her—drives her to accept Soaphead Church's dubious solution without question. Pecola's response to the dog's death shows the way that exploitation of black individuals by whites is deeply traumatic.
After Pecola runs away, Soaphead Church sits down at his night table and writes a letter to God. In his letter he expresses his feelings in his own words. He writes about how Velma left him just as one leaves a hotel room. He writes that no one cares about a hotel room, and leaves easily once it is no longer needed. He writes about his desire for young girls, and blames God for allowing his desire to stray from God toward little girls. He blames God for not answering the prayers of little girls, and forcing them to come to him for help. He finishes the letter by telling God that he has given Pecola blue eyes because God had refused to do it himself, although nobody would be able to see them but her.
The reader gains access to the severity of Soaphead Church's delusional mindset in the letter. Through describing his relationship with Velma in terms of a hotel room, he speaks to his lack of home and family he feels. He blames God for his attraction to young girls, showing the way in which self-conceptions of dirtiness, ugliness, and guilt are externalized in order to preserve a superior sense of self—it's not his fault; it's God's. His obsession with his own whiteness, allows Soaphead Church to believe that he has done the work God wouldn't do, depicting the extreme sense of power attained by whiteness. And he realizes that by inflicting even more trauma on Pecola he can force her into her own isolated world in which she sees exactly what she wants to see, just as Soaphead himself does.

Q: In search of pendingIntent triggered when Incoming Phone call -Android I'd like the system to trigger my pendingIntent when the phone is off hook on Android devices, is this possible ?  I would use the pendingIntent with an IntentService to do some work off the main thread.  This would be a battery saver for the end user.
Its very similar to how you can pass a pendingIntent to the AlarmManager, I'd like to pass one to the system and let it trigger when it encounters an incoming call.

A: No, but you can use telephonymanager, just make a class that listens PhoneStateListener
telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) context
                .getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
        telephonyManager.listen(this, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);

@Override
public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) {
    uiReference.defaultRecipient = incomingNumber;
    if (TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING == state) {
    } else if (TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK == state) {

Q: why my app based on boost::asio didn't accept new connection I write a test app which creates 2,000 connections to my tcp server. After kill/start my test app a few times, my tcp server cannot accept new connection anymore? I have no idea of debugging this problem, any suggestion? Some code snippet lists below:
 Server(io_service& s, tcp::endpoint const& listen_endpoint, size_t thread_number):io_(s),
signals_(s),
acceptor_(io_, listen_endpoint),
thread_pool_size_(thread_number) {
  signals_.add(SIGINT);
  signals_.add(SIGTERM);
  signals_.async_wait(bind(&Server::Stop, this));
  shared_ptr<ClientType> c(new ClientType(io_));

  acceptor_.async_accept(c->socket, bind(&Server::AfterAccept, this, c, _1));

  //launch thread to preapre message
  MessageThread d;
  MyApp& app = AppHolder::Instance();
  d.support_text_message = app.config().support_text_message;
  d.support_digit_message = app.config().support_digit_message;
  d.interval = app.config().interval;
  boost::thread thrd1(d);
}

  void AfterAccept(shared_ptr<ClientType>& c, error_code const& ec) {
    // Check whether the server was stopped by a signal before this completion
    // handler had a chance to run.
    if (!acceptor_.is_open()) {
      BOOSTER_INFO("Server") << "thread id: " << this_thread::get_id() << " acceptor is closed";
      return;
    }

    if (!ec) {
      c->StartJob();
      shared_ptr<ClientType> c2(new ClientType(io_));
      acceptor_.async_accept(c2->socket, bind(&Server::AfterAccept, this, c2, _1));
    }
  }

A: Before the call to acceptor_.async_accept try adding the line:
acceptor_.set_option(boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor::reuse_address(true));

A: This worked for me server side:
void Util::Clearup(boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket* socket, boost::asio::io_service&
IO_service, tcp::acceptor* acceptor)
{
    boost::system::error_code error;
    socket->shutdown(boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket::shutdown_send, error);
    socket->close();
    if (error)
    {
        std::cout << "Clearup failed: " << error.message() << std::endl;
    }

    IO_service.stop();
    IO_service.restart();
    acceptor->close();

    std::cout << "Util:Clearup(..)" << std::endl;
}

Q: Does the usage of "gross mistakes" sound rude to native speakers? I'm having an argue with my colleague about the phrase he wrote. I suggest, it can sound extremely rude to native speakers.
The context: my colleague accidentally spotted errors in certain programming code and tried to inform the maintainers of the code. He wrote a request as follows: "Tests are written with numerous gross mistakes. For example" and then few excerpts of the code followed.
It seems to me that in the given context "gross" can be interpreted as "disgusting", while "mistakes" sounds accusing despite the wrong code may be not their fault. I'll be grateful if you prove or disprove my understanding of the phrase's tone and rate its rudeness 1 to 10.

A: In software engineering, we have some widely agreed terminology for this kind of thing. Your "mistake" should be described either as a "flaw" (a possible cause of a problem) or a "fault" (the cause of an actual problem). You then classify the severity of the flaw or fault using terms like "low", "medium" or "high" with an agreed meaning in terms of its operational impact. Describing a software problem as a "gross mistake" doesn't help anybody.

A: tl;dr–  A gross mistake in programming is like a "critical" bug in that it's a mistake not falling into a lesser category.  Assuming that the speaker was expressing an objective point, I wouldn't take it as rude at all.

Gross things aren't easily described in limited terms.
Gross is when something evades description as a limited subset of a conceptual framework.
For example, "Orders of magnitude (length)", Wikipedia, has a neat comparison showing the relative sizes of things.  Including this image.
After looking at those sizes, how big is a planet?  How about a star?  A solar-system?  A galaxy?  A galaxy-cluster?  Or, the observable universe?
Those things aren't all of maximum size.  In fact, a planet can be utterly tiny compared to other objects.  Still, when folks are talking about sizes, even a planet may be so large as to evade description as being of a size other than the maximum a person would generally conceptualize.  And so, all of those things are grossly large.

Examples of how things can be gross.
Some common areas of usage:

Encompassed/saturated space
Examples
Effective meaning

Quantifications
Gross income,gross revenue,gross weight,GDP (gross domestic product),gross sales,gross salary,gross volume,gross count,gross rate.
The most encompassing version of the quantification, without exclusions.

Qualifications
Gross misconduct,gross negligence,gross rebellion,grossly justified,grossly deserved,gross departure.
The qualification applies strongly, beyond limited notions of the qualification.

Sensory perceptions
Gross scent,gross image,gross feeling.
Overwhelming to the senses (which is usually unpleasant or/and disruptive).

Usually, ideas don't saturate the conceptual-frames in which they're discussed.  However, when they do, they're "gross".
Examples:

Concept
Normal (not necessarily "gross")
Gross

Income
Some notion of incoming gains.
The fullest notion of income.

Mistake
Some deviation from properness.  Often mistakes can be described as having a type and degree.
Overflowing deviation from properness.  May defy explanation as a single type of mistake or/and be extreme in degree.

Taste
Some departure from the background sensory perception of "no taste".  Often taste can be described as having a type an degree.
Overflowing deviation from background.  May defy classification as a type or be extreme in degree.

Because grossness is about encompassing/saturating a conceptual space, it can be pretty subjective.
However, folks generally find things that saturate their conceptualizations to be unpleasant.  There are strong feedbacks between conceptualization and acceptance:

*

*Accepting something promotes conceptualization of it.

*Lack of conceptualization drives rejecting something.
Note that repeated exposure expanding conceptualization is called desensitization, which tends to shift perceptions away from grossness.
Which gets into the difference between grossness and badness.  For example, someone may not care for the taste of something common-but-undesirable, e.g. stale bread, though such tastes wouldn't really be "gross".

Regarding "gross mistakes" in the OP.

The context: my colleague accidentally spotted errors in certain programming code and tried to inform the maintainers of the code. He wrote a request as follows: "Tests are written with numerous gross mistakes. For example" and then few excerpts of the code followed.
It seems to me that in the given context "gross" can be interpreted as "disgusting", while "mistakes" sounds accusing despite the wrong code may be not their fault.

A gross mistake is a mistake that isn't easily described as a lesser sort of mistake.  This is, it's a mistake of maximum extent in the speaker's conceptual-framework.
By analogy, say you have a bug-reporting system, where you classify all bugs as Minor, Small, Normal, Large, Major.  Here, the OP was saying that they found numerous bugs in the Major category.

I'll be grateful if you prove or disprove my understanding of the phrase's tone and rate its rudeness 1 to 10.

Assuming that they were being honest, it wasn't rude at all; 0/10.
By analogy, it's like a teacher giving a student an F on an assignment on which the student makes sufficiently many mistakes as to be graded an F according to the normal grading scale.  In that, sure, the student may not be happy about that result, but it's not reasonable to say that the teacher was being rude in objectively assessing the student's work.

A: Your understanding of the word gross is correct, it does have a meaning similar to disgusting. That is however the second definition listed by Webster. The first applies directly to the situation at hand.

a(1): glaringly noticeable usually because of inexcusable badness or objectionableness
a gross error

If the originator of the phrase is not a native speaker it may be that they have simply picked up this word and are using one of the meanings correctly.
That said, given we're talking about ownership of code the use of the word "gross" is probably less important that simply adding any qualifier. Synonyms such as "obvious", "large" or "significant" would be likely to produce the same response in the recipient. You're pointing out errors in something they've written and they're unlikely to be very happy in the first place. The additional qualifier comes with a subtext that these are not simple mistakes or oversights, but signs of incompetence.
That is perhaps a harsh reading of the addition of a single word, but considering the qualifier does not actually tell the originator anything useful about how to fix the issue it really isn't worth including at all.
When writing comments on pull requests or other code reviews, it is best to ensure your comments are clear, address the issue and provide guidance on the changes required or at least what the problem with the code is. A simple "This is wrong" is no use to the code's owner, they wouldn't have created the pull request unless they thought the code was ready.

A: It is rude, but not for the reason you presented. In this context, "gross" doesn't mean "disgusting", it means "flagrant". It is an intensifier, and implies that the mistake displays an inordinate amount of incompetence. Describing the effect of a mistake as large is one thing, but describing the mistake itself as large is quite another.

while "mistakes" sounds accusing despite the wrong code may be not their fault.

What you quoted was written in the passive voice, which means that it isn't directly accusing anyone specifically.

A: Talking about software should be fairly objective, so normative words like "gross" should be kept out of it. Calling something a mistake or error is enough.
But am I the only one that feels that "mistake" is a very mild word, and so the adjective "gross" feels incongruous? You can have a gross blunder, maybe a gross error, but not a gross mistake. It's like a "gigantic pony".

Q: Why does Java support brackets behind variables and even behind method signatures? Java allows this:
class X{
    int i,j[]; // j is an array, i is not
}

and even worse, it allows this:
class X{
    int foo(String bar)[][][] // foo actually returns int[][][]
    { return null; }
}

Okay, the reason for this might be that it was lent from C/C++. However, Java meant to be easier than C/C++. Why did the Java inventors decide to allow this hard-to-read construct. The convoluted types of C where the variable name is in the middle of the type are just hard to read and provoke programming errors.
Especially the brackets behind the method signature. I have never seen these in use and that is for a good reason. No one looks behind the signature when checking the return type of a method. While the first example may save some keystrokes (because int does not have to be written twice), the brackets behind the signature do not even save any, so I see absolutely no gain here.
So is there a good reason for this (especially the second one) that I am missing?

A: The question can be divided into "Why does Java C support brackets behind variables and even behind method signatures?" and "Why would Java inherit so much from C?"; Java also inherited other weird syntax, especially that for switch (why not use curly braces as for everything else and use : and break ?).
To answer the first question - I believe back in the 70s in language design they didn't focus that much on readability but rather on performance. Back then programs weren't that complex or large so readability wasn't a main concern.
To answer the second question - back in the middle '90s when Java appeared most programmers worked in C and C++; C++ had a large success because it was a superset of C by adding OOP. Java simplified C++ as much as possible but tried to keep it close as syntax as much as as possible so that programmers can transit more easily from a language to another.
I actually believe that most Java programmers aren't even aware the code presented is a valid one (at least the second one) and hence do not use it when writing. The main thing that lead to this is a great thing called - Java Code Conventions which is most likely to be read by programmers than the language specification itself. Also this kind of stuff is a disadvantage of backwards compatibility.

This week, with Halloween not far off, we were looking at ghost stories! What's more, Blandford Literary Festival are hosting a ghost story competition, with a deadline approaching on the 26th October, so we also had this in mind for our young writers, who may wish to enter...
We began by combining the ghostly with the autumnal, coming up with similes and metaphors to describe some stormy weather (e.g. the wind was a wailing woman, the sky was as dark as a funeral, etc). After sharing some of these with the group, we then read an extract from, arguably, the greatest ghost story of all time, The Woman in Black! In the extract, the narrator is alone in Eel Marsh House, with only Spider the dog for company, while a storm rages outside, and he hears what he believes to be the cry of a child out on the marsh... He becomes convinced of a ghostly presence in the house with him...then the lights go out! We looked at techniques used by the writer, Susan Hill, to build the tension and suspense and create a haunting, eerie atmosphere. Then, putting all this together, we began writing our ghost stories, while listening to sounds of wind, rain and a crackling fire on YouTube, to build the perfect ghost-story atmosphere!
When it was time to share, there were a fantastic range of spine-tingling stories to hear, from George's genre-bending sci-fi ghost story, to Kira's mysterious man in a dark hat, to Evie's character pulling back a curtain in a seemingly-abandoned house by the sea to reveal.... (we had to wait for the next installment, after a very dramatic cliffhanger!)
Next, the young writers were given a choice - either to continue with the story they had begun, or to begin a new ghost story set in an unexpected location for the genre... Some examples I suggested were a shopping centre, a beach, a water park, a fairground and (my personal favourite!) a garden centre! The challenge was to make any of these places, none of which fit the traditional criteria for a ghost story (dark, isolated, lonely, abandoned, wild, etc) into the setting for a chilling tale! Thomas and Elsie both managed to make a garden centre incredibly sinister, and George created a truly disconcerting atmosphere on a bright, sunlit, busy beach. Meanwhile, Evie and Kira both continued their stories they had begun previously, developing in exciting new directions...
We're so excited to see how these stories develop and hope many of our young writers will enter the Blandford competition!

Who wants the figure flattering elements of wearing heels, without the foot pain? It's no big secret that wedges are the answer! And I'm loving these affordable glam faux suede wedges from Secret Celebrity by Camtrade!
Wedges are super versatile. You can wear them with pants, dresses, skirts, and jeans. I wore these with my cropped pants to show off the cute style. I like the way they look dressy and professional. They are comfortable enough for work and pretty enough for date night!

Countries where women do not have the same rights as men are generally referred to as "theocracies" by many people. However, this is not really correct because there are actually many countries where women have rights that are equal to men. The only thing about these countries is that they have laws that protect women and prevent them from being abused. Women are also allowed to get an education and have their own homes.
Now, we all know what "some" countries where women have no rights are. If you know where these countries are then you can easily avoid going to one of them. One example of a country where women have no rights is Pakistan. In fact, it has one of the highest instances of honor killing, along with the Arab countries. The reason for this is because of the different culture and traditions that are practiced in Pakistan. Plus, the laws in Pakistan are not very strict, so this kind of killing goes on with relative ease.
In addition to this, another example of countries where women have no rights is Nigeria. In Nigeria, women are considered trash. The reason for this is because the rape culture in Nigeria is very strong. This is due to the attitudes that are ingrained in their culture regarding women. Plus, most of the crimes in Nigeria are committed by married men who have known the women for a long time.
There are also some countries where women are not allowed to drive. In certain areas of the Middle East for example. There are even some places in the United States, like Texas, where women are not allowed to drive. The reasons for this are many and it depends on the area in which you live.
Another example of a country where women have no rights is Bhutan. In Bhutan, women cannot have their own rights of property. They cannot even leave the country and that means they are forced to stay with their husbands. It is a very scary fact that women in this part of the world still has those same beliefs held by them as a child. I mean, how could women want those things when it was told to her by her parents?
And lastly, some countries where women have no rights are sometimes even countries that belong to the former Western world. For example, China is a country where women are treated like sex slaves. They are not able to vote or run for political office. Plus, they are only allowed to do housework and cooking. They cannot be educated or even have access to the internet.
In these types of circumstances, it is important that every woman stand up and fight for their rights. Every woman should stand up and support their friends who are fighting for their rights. There are a lot of battles that continue to go on for women's rights. There is still so much to accomplish but every woman should be up and taking advantage of it every single day.
As you can see, there are so many countries where women have no rights. Anybody who does not know what these countries are, do not worry. You will soon find out about them. You do not have to live in a country where women do not have the right to vote, be educated, enjoy a free speech, or have a right to an education.
You do not have to live in a country where women do not have the right to have an abortion nor do you have to live in a country where women are not allowed to be educated. Believe it or not, there are so many countries where women do not have rights. Women do not have the right to an education. This is a terrible thing and it needs to change. It is a very big problem. Luckily, things are starting to change slowly but surely.
If you are a woman living in one of these countries today, you need to fight for your rights. There are places all over the world where women are mistreated and women's rights are not protected. That is the world today and we can help change that by spreading the word about women's rights. If you want to change the world for women, you should start by spreading the word about the mistreatment of women in these poor countries.
The media is also a huge part of society today. Many people are misinformed and they tend to think that women's rights are not important. You can help change that by reading articles like this one and many others. Every single person in the world has the power to change things. All women living in these countries need your help to make things better for them and for other women who want to have an equal life.

Gardner renews call to label Russia a sponsor of terrorism
Joey Bunch, Colorado Politics
The Republican president is slow to criticize Russia, but not a Republican senator from Colorado.
Sen. Cory Gardner on Wednesday blamed the enemy of the U.S. for a "barbaric violation of international law" for a rocket attack that downed an airliner over eastern Ukraine in 2014.
The missile attack killed all 298 people, including 18-year-old American Quinn Lucas Schansman, onboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.
International investigators named four suspects -- three Russians and a Ukrainian -- for the assault in the region controlled by pro-Russian separatists.
"Despite continued denials from the Kremlin and the Russian-backed rebels on their involvement in the downing of MH17, the international community remains united to uncover the truth and bring justice for the 298 innocent people murdered on MH17, including an American citizen," Gardner, senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement.
"It is my hope that today's report and action by the Dutch authorities brings some closure to the families of the victims of this barbaric violation of international law.
"Russia's abhorrent actions around the world, including support for terror groups in Ukraine and Syria, the chemical weapons attacks on the soil of a NATO ally, and interference in elections around the world, should be more than enough to formally label Putin's Russia what it is – a state sponsor of terrorism. With this bill, Congress is demonstrating firm bipartisan resolve against Kremlin's mendacity and I hope it will move quickly to pass the Senate."
The designation would carry a list of restrictions on Russia, including on any U.S. foreign assistance, a ban on defense exports and sales and other financial restrictions.
Gardner wrote an op-ed on the subject for the New York Times in April.
According to media reports, then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson pursued designating Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism in 2017, soon after a former Russian spy was poisoned in England, but the effort was quickly called off by the Trump administration.

Right now, you can get Sonicfire Smartsound 4.5 for free with the purchase of two of the music disks. It includes a free update to 5.0 in June (the target release date). I would suppose the sale lasts until 5.0 comes out, but I am only a consumer with no insider knowledge.
Since many of us on these forums work with visual media, I thought we might benefit from some royalty free music that can be arranged to any needed length.
Right now, you can get Sonicfire Smartsound 4.5 for free with the purchase of two of the music disks. It includes a free update to 5.0 in June (the target release date).
Hi, verlon. Who's making this offer? Got a direct link for the deal? TIA.
At their websit. But they also say get 4.5 now and get 5.0 free. so does that mean if you get the Music discs you 4.5 and well then get 5.0 when it comes out.
Holly sht their Music discs tracks are expensive just one is 99 bucks.
Also, when you register, you can download an additional song beyond the 2 CDs you purchase.
There is a demo if you're not sure the software is for you.
And yes, you get the music disks and 4.5 now, then 5.0 later.
Btw do you have to use their Music or can you import your own stuff. I have never seen this and its kind of confused me lol. thnx for pointing this out.
OK i see. i went through some of their tuts. so i get whats its about.
You have to use their music, BUT you can request that your own music (as in you wrote/composed etc) get converted to their format. Their is some info on that if you bounce around their site.
I assume this service is ... more expensive. I have not looked into it.
"Buy 1 or more music discs and get Sonicfire Pro 4 Standard for FREE or Network for $199.95!"
Do you have to buy 1 or 2 disks?
'So silent you could hear a pin drop!
Well i know if you buy 2 cd you get network version for 175. i spent some time on thier website, reading. So if i get it right as long as you pick up sonicefire with or with out the cd you get version 5. I doubt ill pick this up, went thought their Music libraries and i didn't like them.
What do you think of Sony Acid Pro 6 at $299 retail?
What alternatives on the market, for software-based music scoring, do most of you folks like?
Rather than software, currently we're using a very intuitive hardware device made by Roland. It's the Roland MC-808. Great for quickly coming up with a royalty-free soundbed for animation and video projects, with some extremely engaging funk/house/trance/R&B/Rock grooves, et al.
The Roland MC 808 utterly will blow you away, in terms of the power under its shiny hood. Utterly intuitive to use to.
The advantage of their music is that it works similar to Adobe's audition or soundbooth. Not neccessarily wave editing, but small music clips that are combined to make a composition. Each clip can be extented or shortened as well. Giving it the ability to give you a one of a kind composition.
But in the end there is nothing like being able to produce your musical scores, so the $99 per cd could pay for some music lessons. Your choice.
Smartsound is a tool. It may have a place in some people's toolbox. If so, this appears to be a decent time to consider it.
You could learn to code and write your own 3D application, too... or hand paint everything in MS Paint. I am not suggesting Smartsound is better than writing music. I am saying it is a convenent tool if you should need something like it.
Those considering SS, also check out Sony Cinescore. I wavered between these two for a long time and ended up buying Cinescore because I thought the music is more customizable and sounded better. Also I'm hoping Sony has access to more/better artists/music. Both SS and Cinescore have trial versions.
Your post, Sekhar and the one preceding it, are worthy of serious consideration. Did you know that Sony is reported to be working on making their Cinescore product able to utilize the SmartSound song library?
I may have read that news (in Creative Cow, or eventDV, or Studio/Monthly -- hmmm, which magazine was it??) about 3 or 4 months or so ago -- but can't nail the source down, at the moment, as I'm working on a project here.
If anyone can update us (with a link?) on the progress of that joint-venture, please let us know here? TIA.
You don't have to try to sell it to me, I already own a copy. I agree it is an excellent tool for short term use.
On the other hand, you don't need to go to an extreme either. It does not require someone the caliber of Bach or Mozart to compose an excellent peice(Though it don't hurt any either). There are a lot of excellent musicians some capable of writing their own compositions too.
Music is like most other type of arts it can be learned on your own If you are willing to put in the time.
Well last year i picked Magix music maker, i know i'm such a noob. but i haven't had a problem with it.
I think the only problem i have with these music library based software is the hip hop and RnB and house. it sounds so weird as if they never heard hip hop. Heres few things i made with Magix. i was just having fun. If you play the one titled Jungle fast i swear you will get dizzy. lol just click the link old sounds and download the zip. I would have just added it here but it wouldn't let me.
Im not sure whats up with that face in the middle of the link. yes i know my beats are no where close to what you get with Sonicfire. I was just a bit confused at 1st what it did. Thanks again for heads up.
Does this thread have a second page? I click on "2" or ">" and get the first page.
Of course, after I post this, it will push the page and I'll look foolish as usual.
Funny thing, page#2 is also page #1...?!?!
Ah, I feel much better -- there is a page 2!
Guess the page counter starts at -2.
